Episode 130: Resolutions (2025)

1
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:12,680
Welcome back to another episode
of A Record of My Father.

2
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,120
Second episode of 20 August 3rd
now because we had a resolute or

3
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,240
a year in review come out before
this episode, but today we're

4
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:24,240
going to be talking about the
resolutions we had last year and

5
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:25,800
if.
We if we accomplished.

6
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,360
Them or not if.
We, I thought we were going to

7
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,080
be talking about the freaking
snow that's coming.

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,520
We're going to get a foot of
snow here.

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,520
House in LA is it?
Going to be a foot.

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,440
That well, I know it's at 510
inches, so I'm so I'm

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,160
extrapolating. 5 to 10, that's
basically a foot if you.

12
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:41,560
Think I'm really more
exacerbating the extrapolation

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:47,000
to make an asservation of the
observation that will be the

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,120
whatever you just said.
It's a lot of alliteration, you

15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,880
know, That's a lot of
alliteration.

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,080
Right there I was in my
alliteration phase.

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,280
Well, I'm looking at mine right
now, right?

18
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,920
And my resolutions for last year
was to get sober, run three days

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,519
a week, book three speaking
gigs, climb V4.

20
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:07,560
And for those that don't know,
that's rock climbing.

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,600
Finish third, edit and send to
my old English professor that is

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,000
of my novel that I wrote a year
and a half two years ago.

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,120
And then I update my real shoot
a short release, 20 podcasts and

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,120
I'll I got to say we hit the 20
podcasts out of the home home

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,520
run.
I think we'd have six or

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,760
something last year. 56 for the
year, which is more than one a

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,400
week.
Yeah, no, we were.

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,600
We were freaking killing it.
I did shoot a short.

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,880
I was an executive producer on a
short.

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,320
Updated my real kind of.
I added new stuff.

31
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,840
Needed to be re edited though.
I kind of went in a different

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,160
direction if you think about it.
I kind of went into a producer

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,400
director role and started my own
production company, which I kind

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,520
of consider better than updating
your reel.

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,720
Yeah.
And then I got about halfway

36
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,120
through my third edit and then I
kind of started a company.

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,120
So that's kind of taking a back
seat.

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,840
I'd really like to finish that
this year.

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,320
I'd really.
Like the company?

40
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,480
3rd No.
The third edit of my novel.

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,200
Make it crash or go away or grow
it.

42
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,920
To to really finish the novel,
the third edit.

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,240
Oh yeah.
And then climb before.

44
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,520
I don't think I'm going to climb
ever again.

45
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,760
Maybe like for fun, but I got
back into bodybuilding.

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,560
But I did climb the V4.
I did do that.

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,560
I did.
I actually climbed V5 this year.

48
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,480
So that was a big
accomplishment.

49
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,880
Book three speaking gigs.
I actually did do that.

50
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,000
That was great.
I did do that run three days a

51
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,280
week.
I got into a run club earlier in

52
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,200
the year.
I did that for about two months.

53
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,200
So not really.
I mean, I, I walk a lot and kind

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,240
of half did that one and then I
did get sober 38 days ago today.

55
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,280
So I'm pretty happy about that.
Changed my life.

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Yeah, well.
Me too.

57
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,720
I mean, I'm, I'm that's, that
was one of my things was to let

58
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,440
me see what it is.
Reduce.

59
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,720
Eliminate liquor.
Was that a?

60
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,680
Was that one of them?
Yeah, and like 65th birthday was

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440
like that was the the, what is
it?

62
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,840
The coupe foray, the final nail,
the coup d'etat, the last

63
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560
explosion.
So yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm ready.

64
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,800
I'm ready.
It's I, I, I feel, I feel

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,360
healthier, more alive.
And I wear glasses that make me

66
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,120
look smarter.
The only reason I'm wearing

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,080
these is because I've lost every
other single pair.

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,920
I think I found Waldo.
I don't know.

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,920
Yeah, where the Hell's Waldo
He's he's on the other end of

70
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:25,480
the Zoom camera with you.
Here he's on a record of my

71
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:26,960
Father podcast.
That's what he's doing.

72
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,640
Wealth, wealth, wealth.
Yep, that's it.

73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Yeah.
I guess going forward for the

74
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,640
new year, I guess stay sober.
That's great.

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,640
That's that's under health,
right?

76
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,040
Yeah.
Oh, you break it.

77
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,720
I got a category.
I got mine broken up into

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,360
categories I have like health,
which is reduced, eliminate

79
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,080
liquor, which I'm working on
that eat healthy five days a

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,280
week.
Well, I'm probably eating

81
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,320
healthy about.
We just got back from our

82
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Christmas thing and I ate like
absolute crap while I was out

83
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:02,320
there and I'm kind of getting
back on to the less crap diet.

84
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,080
I was kind of moving into it and
I was down to about my, my best

85
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,880
weight this year was two O 8.
I wanted to get to 210.

86
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,040
I did.
And now I'm I ballooned myself

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,760
in the last since we went to
Sicily.

88
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,600
We ate a lot there and then I
came back and I started to drop

89
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,560
back down to 2:15 to 12:00 and
then boom, you made me go to

90
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Palm Springs and Catalina Island
and visit you and you forced fed

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,600
me all that crappy food which
made me balloon to a a fluffy

92
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,200
2020.
So now I am.

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,880
What I'm realizing is you really
don't need 3 meals in a day.

94
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,600
No, really don't need it because
like if I think about it, I eat

95
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,560
like a Chipotle bowl, right?
And this is, for example, I ate

96
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,000
a Chipotle bowl at noon, 1:00 or
something that automatically

97
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,080
that's 1500 calories right
there.

98
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,840
That's crazy if you get
everything on it.

99
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,240
I don't normally get guac.
I got queso the other day.

100
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,560
This is our what is it?
The the blip, the ad for

101
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,520
Chipotle.
Here you go.

102
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,720
But yeah.
And I was like, that's, that's

103
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,560
1500 calories and then I eat at
night once and that's another

104
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,320
what, 800 something like that.
So at the same time I'm not

105
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120
doing that.
Some God was telling me you need

106
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,600
5 meals a day, five small meals
a day.

107
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,560
I'm like, I don't really.
I think that that's made-up.

108
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,440
And if we think about my
elementary school career, really

109
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,400
great career, I was really smart
and the aspect of the food

110
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,840
pyramid and how big milk,
whatever, what is that big AG?

111
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,760
I think, I think it really
depends upon the person because

112
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,240
everybody's different.
And today I've got up.

113
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,720
I had my 2 1/2 cups of coffee.
I waited until around 2:00.

114
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,240
At 1:45, two o'clock yeah, had
done, had lunch, which was the

115
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,440
steak and cheese sub onion rings
and, you know, the good stuff

116
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,920
and two root beers and, and it's
now almost 8:00 and I haven't

117
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,760
eaten again.
I still feel like a swollen

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,680
tick.
You know, I'm fine.

119
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,160
I, I don't, I, I don't, I, I
don't really need to eat

120
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,120
anything else.
And I think I'll probably at

121
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,080
11:00 I'll eat a sandwich and
that will put me into the really

122
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,880
fat zone or I will just drink
some water and move on and let

123
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,320
this be the one meal day.
What I think too is it has to do

124
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,600
with your sodium intake
depending on how much salt

125
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,800
you're eating per day.
That may be that may be the

126
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,360
reason I feel so bloated.
I ate a pickle the other day.

127
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,840
The bag pickle.
The pickle.

128
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,360
I did do my two mile 2 mile walk
with the dogs today.

129
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:32,640
Oh wow, your miles though are
like half of a regular mile

130
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,520
'cause you say that you get
45,000 steps a day and I I

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,320
don't, no, I don't, I don't
believe it.

132
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,120
You say you have.
My, my year was to achieve

133
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,840
10,000 steps per day, every day,
every week, every every month of

134
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:50,520
the year.
And my, I lost my Fitbit on like

135
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:59,680
the 27th and I had averaged
10,527 steps per day, every day

136
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,400
for the year.
So I was very happy that I, that

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,000
I beat it.
And that's the best I've ever

138
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,320
had.
And it's since I've been

139
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,440
measuring how far I walk.
And I think that for me, you

140
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,320
know, not everybody has to
measure what the hell they do

141
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,520
all the time.
Some people, you know, they they

142
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,000
just I, I had a somebody I used
to work with that, that I said,

143
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,800
you're on a diet.
He goes, yeah, I'm eating

144
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,040
better.
And I said, so, well, what do

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,440
you weigh?
He goes, I don't know.

146
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,160
And I'm going like, so, So how
do you know when you lose

147
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,760
weight?
He goes, well, my belt gets

148
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,640
tighter and my shoes and my
shoes, my shirts feel better and

149
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,600
my shoes fit better.
Oh, no, no.

150
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,760
Well, everything fits a little
better and it's a little looser

151
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,440
and you feel a little better.
You don't mind, actually.

152
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,440
I mean, a big thing for me has
always been tying your shoes.

153
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,480
You know, a lot of people have
trouble tying their shoes.

154
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,920
They put their, they, they cross
their legs up on their knee and

155
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,800
do it that way or instead of
going down and actually tying

156
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,800
the shoe in the middle of the
shoe the way it's supposed to

157
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,240
be, you know.
And I think that that's, that's

158
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,560
something, yeah.
I'm working on it.

159
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,160
Exercise with weights 3 * a
week.

160
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,640
I'm close, I'm close.
I was doing 5 in six days for a

161
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,680
long time and then I just fell
off the Cliff for a while and

162
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,960
I'm trying to get back on.
I'm just trying to climb the

163
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,840
mountain again.
Well, the, you know, the

164
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,920
impingement that that was the
whole thing.

165
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,360
Yeah, that's, I still have it
and I don't know what I'm going

166
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,280
to do with it and I'll.
Probably open it up.

167
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Well that's what Alex was saying
is that you should crack it open

168
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,040
and just get it done right away
'cause it it's only going to get

169
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,440
worse.
The thing is, is doctors aren't

170
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,480
ready to just do that.
That's that.

171
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280
I have to find someone that
wants to chop on me.

172
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Why?
Not why don't they do that?

173
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,880
I think there there's more money
to be made If you go into PTI

174
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,960
mean I'm nine months of TP, Come
on TP, you have toilet paper and

175
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,040
I'm actually 12 months of toilet
paper.

176
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,040
I know I got my dyslexia from
now.

177
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,840
Jeez.
Yeah.

178
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,880
But I have like other other
things like knowledge and

179
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,000
learning continuation, continue
to interact with business and

180
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,880
world to see what shakes out for
new ideas.

181
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,080
I didn't, I mean I didn't have
I, I think I worked with a

182
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,320
couple companies earlier in the
year on helping the developed

183
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,400
strategy.
I work with a charity, I work

184
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,480
with a couple others and just
when I say work with, it's like

185
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,840
2 meetings.
Talk to them for three or four

186
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,400
hours, sketch out their plans,
tell them what I thought about

187
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,640
their plans, whether they wanted
to use my ideas or not.

188
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,880
It's basically up to them.
All I can really do is point out

189
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,560
what kind of errors you can make
when you fail to plan for what

190
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:42,440
you want to happen or where you
want to be in three years.

191
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:47,240
If you want to be physically fit
in six months, you have to start

192
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,200
incrementally each and every day
going forward from now with diet

193
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,480
and exercise to. 100%.
You know, you can't you can't

194
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,120
start where you can start in the
last 30 days, but you won't

195
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,360
achieve as much as if you do a
little each day and move.

196
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,440
And I think that's part of like
the whole overall, like the

197
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,320
reason that I have a five year
plan and the reason that we do

198
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,800
this annual thing is so that you
can go back and say, do I feel

199
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,800
like a better person today than
a year ago?

200
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920
Yeah, I do, I actually do.
And I think that that's that's

201
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,520
part of it.
I feel pretty happy, but I feel

202
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,160
like I'm a little misguided.
I need, I need more, I need more

203
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,560
focus in my life, more things.
One of the things that I'm going

204
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:28,720
to do is the old business that I
work for or looking for a new

205
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,280
strategy and, or help with
strategy.

206
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,840
And I'm going to go to New York
for three days and the week

207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,840
after next and I'm going to work
on it with them.

208
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,480
And it may turn into something
that I work on with them

209
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,920
quarterly.
I may never go back.

210
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,760
I may piss everybody off.
I may make everybody happy.

211
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,160
It, it, you never know.
It's me.

212
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,920
I'm that.
That's just the way I am.

213
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:51,320
I may run into other businesses
that need help and that kind of

214
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,360
thing.
There's also like a bunch of

215
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,840
things that I thought were cool
that I thought it would be neat

216
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,920
to try.
What was it?

217
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,080
There's a, there's a club that
does comedy stand up and they

218
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,800
teach you how to build a like A5
joke, you know?

219
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,560
Oh, Type 5, yeah.
Three minute. 3 minute. 3:00 to

220
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,520
5:00 or usually it's 5 minutes
and it's a type 5.

221
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,520
It's called a type 5, yeah.
Yeah.

222
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,440
And I want to do that.
I want to do a Type 5 and I want

223
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,880
to see if I can go up in front
of an audience and speak and

224
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,160
make people laugh.
And you know, and I'll try to

225
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,600
not to talk about farts or
saying cuss words every other

226
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,960
word or talking about women's
vaginas or something like that.

227
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,720
That's so easy to make people
laugh.

228
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,760
Yeah.
I don't know why.

229
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,120
That well, that was the whole
thing, the joke that I wrote the

230
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,600
other day, pretty funny.
It was the, I like how I said my

231
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,920
own joke is funny, but it was
the idea of when you're a kid

232
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,640
and you're going into these
haunted houses and there's

233
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,840
always that one room where
you're sticking your hand

234
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,720
through the garbage bag and they
you're touching the spaghetti

235
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,480
and they're like, oh, you're
touching the brains.

236
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,240
And how the adult version of
that is having sex in the dark.

237
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:01,080
You ever think about that?
And like you're like, oh, what

238
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,720
am I grabbing and what am I
doing here?

239
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,520
Yes, let me review all the times
I've had sex with you.

240
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Yes, I mean not with you.
I will review it with you about

241
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,440
having sex with other people.
That's going to be our next

242
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,920
episode.
Yeah, that was the joke is how

243
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,760
the the comparison between.
Yeah, the the.

244
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,960
There were some fun times.
Yeah, I I imagine.

245
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,320
Go into detail, please.
You can imagine.

246
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,800
How Can you imagine?
I digest.

247
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,280
I digest.
Yes, we're definitely done.

248
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920
What was another?
Be a good person.

249
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,960
That was something that's on my
list and that's something that's

250
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,280
very important to me.
It's it's meet new people that

251
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,560
could be friends in your and and
develop them.

252
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,840
Are there any new people?
None.

253
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,680
I haven't.
I haven't like started this new

254
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,720
friendship relation with anyone.
Anybody.

255
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,920
They're talking about 2024 or
2020. 5/20/24 expanded my focus

256
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,840
on charity and that speak to me
well I have I've I've I've

257
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,560
shortened the list of charities
we we used to be in the 45 #40

258
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,440
to 50 charities that we
supported we're down to 24.

259
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:13,080
I have met with the CEOs of four
of them and I've talked about

260
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,800
their direction and how they're
doing and all that kind of stuff

261
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,280
like that.
And, and I allow them to reach

262
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,560
out to me and say how, how can
we do it better?

263
00:13:21,560 --> 00:13:23,320
What should we say?
All this kind of stuff, because

264
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,320
I have a marketing and a salesy
and all that kind of BS complex.

265
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,840
And, and I know a lot about it
and I know I, I don't have

266
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,120
friends as rich people, but I
know how to contact and get

267
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,920
connected to rich people.
It's, it's just things that I

268
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,360
know and I've picked up over the
years.

269
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,760
And that was really good.
And that's something that I

270
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,320
think I want to continue to do
because that kind of makes me it

271
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,920
makes me feel good.
One thing I would like to do

272
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,680
going forward is to go back to
where I used to be, where I was

273
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,920
physically hands on possibly.
I wish there was a soup kitchen

274
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,920
that was closer than downtown
DC.

275
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,280
Some.
Yeah, that's a nightmare.

276
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,360
I'm a nightmare.
I'm going to go back.

277
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,800
I'm going to go back and I'm
going to try that and I'm going

278
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,120
to, I'm going to get into that
again.

279
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,120
I want to I've been trying to
reduce my necessities.

280
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,440
I'm getting rid of things that
that don't matter.

281
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,360
You mean just like objects in
your house?

282
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,120
Yeah, mostly your stuff.
I'm throwing it all.

283
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,880
Yeah, when I every time I come
home, you're like, yeah, you got

284
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,680
to throw all this away.
It's like pictures of me as a

285
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,920
baby.
I'm like, what is this?

286
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:26,920
Why?
What?

287
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,360
What?
Now we burn that shit.

288
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,800
I.
Feel like I'm being pressured

289
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,920
into a sort of erasing my memory
and erasing.

290
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,640
No, it's pretty.
It's hard to erase your memory,

291
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,000
man.
But I'm, I'm, I'm getting at it.

292
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,520
I'm good at it.
Erasing my physical memories

293
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,760
that is in my history make me
forget who I was when I was a

294
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,640
kid.
It's hard to remember sometimes

295
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,760
that you were a person before.
Today.

296
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,680
I've noticed that that isn't.
That interesting and read 4

297
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,080
books.
I did it amazing.

298
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,200
Just over the top.
Reduce phone screen time.

299
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,200
I'm not sure.
I don't I don't, I don't think I

300
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,120
have.
I think I think I'm at or near

301
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,640
what I used to be.
I get in, I find these silly

302
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,400
little good games and I play
those rather than read and

303
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,960
learn.
And the problem is when I read I

304
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,440
have a attention span of a gnat,
so I'm very susceptible to

305
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,840
looking at the scroll screen and
doing that kind of silly shit.

306
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,240
Put your phone in a different
room.

307
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,640
You got to put your phone in a
different room.

308
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,400
That's what I do.
I leave in a different room.

309
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,000
So if I hear a notification,
because you get the serotonin

310
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,560
burst when you hear those
notifications, That's why I turn

311
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,960
the notifications off.
I put it elsewhere because it's

312
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,120
so funny.
We reward ourselves so fast with

313
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,240
the phone and with the blue
light that stimulates our eyes.

314
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,480
When we're reading right, we're
like, oh, I'll put the book

315
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,640
down.
I need something that will

316
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,880
actually physically stimulate me
on a neurological book instead

317
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,360
of your mind.
Don't really do that.

318
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,560
Yeah.
You've got to, you've got to

319
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,360
visualize what you're reading.
You've got to, you know, feel

320
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,280
the intensity of the characters
and how they carry out their

321
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,240
different tasks or the things
that they're doing, whether it's

322
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,640
murdering, sex, love, war,
crime, you know, whatever they

323
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,800
do.
Did you start the Mothman book I

324
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,560
gave you for Christmas yet?
The Mothman?

325
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,040
Which one?
Mothman.

326
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,480
The West Virginia.
State you gave me the Galbraith

327
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,000
one, that's the one I was
looking.

328
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,920
At Oh, the Affluent Society by
John Kenneth.

329
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,000
Yeah.
But I will, I will, I will say

330
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,680
that said that I'll make a thing
that I want to do 5 books this

331
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,480
year.
What's with the Mothman one?

332
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,680
You don't like the Mothman 1?
Five books and write them down

333
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,080
as I go.
I actually need to write these

334
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,200
down.
I don't know.

335
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,280
I reach out to more people from
the past.

336
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:39,240
I've been doing that.
I, I now walk every I, I hike, I

337
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,920
would say bi weekly with Jose,
who is someone I work with in

338
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,440
sales at GSI in the very, very
in the 90s, ninety five, I

339
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,680
think, 'cause when I first met
him, I've climbed mountains with

340
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,880
him.
I climbed Kilimanjaro with him.

341
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,600
I, I went to Machu Picchu with
him.

342
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,240
I climbed Mount Whitney with
him.

343
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,600
We did.
Was he with us?

344
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,920
Yes, he was.
When we did Guatemala, I did

345
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:09,160
gym, I did Fuji and you know,
the the big things that were,

346
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:17,119
you know, points of success for
me physically, personally in my

347
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,000
life.
How many years ago was Fuji?

348
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,119
That was a while ago, wasn't?
It 9 or 88 years ago, I think

349
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,560
really eight years ago.
No, no, it's 6-6 years ago, OK

350
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:32,520
Fuji was six, Guatemala was 5.
So but I but even that I feel

351
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:40,200
like I'm, I feel like I'm just
we, we went to the cram that was

352
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,120
going up into in Palm Springs.
There's a big tram that goes up.

353
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:47,400
You have to walk up this really
steep hill that has about an 800

354
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,120
foot elevation gain and it is
very steep.

355
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:55,160
And it reminded me of Guatemala.
And I was like, man, you know,

356
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,400
I'm I would have to truly, truly
change my life.

357
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,120
I would have a.
Stairmaster in the the

358
00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:03,000
Guatemala.
That was the very big

359
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,320
Stairmaster.
Straight walk up.

360
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,320
Fun fact, you know what I
learned today?

361
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,320
My gym has a Stairmaster, has
five Stairmasters.

362
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,520
Didn't know that until today.
I've been going there for three

363
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,440
months or no?
About two months, I would say,

364
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,560
yeah.
So we talked about knowledge and

365
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,840
learning, continuation, being a
good person.

366
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,600
What else would you do to be a
good person?

367
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,960
You.
Well, that's actually something.

368
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,360
You know what, I'm going to pop
my notes open because I don't

369
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,520
have a pen handy right now, but
I'm just going to write these

370
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,320
down on my phone the the
resolutions.

371
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,040
So.
What I really want to do this

372
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,040
year, right, You know what?
I'll write the first one.

373
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,680
So 2 direct and produce 2
projects.

374
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,040
Yeah, direct and produce 2
projects.

375
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,680
That's.
Going to take a lot of time.

376
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,320
That yeah, that takes a freaking
long time.

377
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,920
It is.
The most painful form of art is

378
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,320
film, I swear.
And then that.

379
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,080
Or music, really.
But what was the second one?

380
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,760
Get the legs.
Let me take a Let me take a film

381
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,040
of you right now.
My second one is getting the

382
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,840
legs for for my nonprofit.
That's something I really am

383
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,160
interested in starting this year
and the nonprofit.

384
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,560
I came up with an idea a long
time ago, about five years ago

385
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,320
to have after school reading
programs to increase literacy in

386
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,200
the United States.
Ones at which are have

387
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,680
volunteers like that are
educated enough to help

388
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,920
underprivileged children learn.
Because a lot of time in school

389
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,600
you have this obstacle for kids,
right?

390
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,240
That these teachers in low socio
economic areas have the tools

391
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,720
but the kids aren't willing to
reach whether it be at home or

392
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,320
otherwise.
And not reading or writing in a

393
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,440
fun way 'cause I remember
getting assigned what?

394
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Remember, there's a program
called Riff, which is reading.

395
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,960
It's fundamental and it's Vans
and they drive around and they

396
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,040
go to the underprivileged
neighborhoods and they allow

397
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,720
kids to borrow and use books.
They also have reading programs

398
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,080
in it and it's it it's not a kid
toucher program.

399
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,880
It's they're they're actually
what are they like Winnebago

400
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,000
type things where you go in and
they have books all over and the

401
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,760
kids and they have teachers that
will teach the classes and teach

402
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,760
kids how to this is.
Exactly the same premise for

403
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,480
mine, except there's got to be a
more fun way to do it.

404
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,240
You might be able to glam onto
that and see what they've done

405
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,040
and, and copy their successes
and, and make sure you don't do

406
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,440
their failures because that's,
that's usually what a good

407
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,680
business plan starts with is,
hey, that's a good idea to teach

408
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,560
underprivileged kids to read.
OK, so how do we do it?

409
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,840
I mean.
Well, the is really what I want

410
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,280
to figure out this year and also
not only that but the general

411
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,080
the.
Band book program do that.

412
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,640
The nonprofit business plan for
said nonprofit, getting the

413
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,560
name, and then I'm beginning to
do the research in order to what

414
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,120
is it to work at a school?
What is it to provide materials?

415
00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:52,320
What is it to again, build a
curriculum?

416
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,400
Figuring that out is something I
really want to get done this

417
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,760
year.
And that way I have a business

418
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,840
and a nonprofit that could maybe
even work together shooting

419
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,200
commercials for the nonprofit,
the production company and what

420
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,920
have you.
So that's another thing I want

421
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,000
to do.
Broader emotional health and

422
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,480
learning horizon, growing
existing friendships with

423
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,640
people.
I think I've done that.

424
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,880
I've, I went out of my way.
I, I another thing I did is I

425
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,240
started like doggy.
I want to keep in contact with

426
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,040
him.
So I started booking when I

427
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,200
talked to him, I said, I want to
have lunch with you once a

428
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,960
quarter.
Oh, OK, well, let's talk about.

429
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,160
And I'm like, no, we, we booked
when we eat lunch.

430
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,280
We booked the next one three
months in advance.

431
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,600
So, so there isn't a reason that
you can't make it, you know what

432
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,280
I mean?
I'm doing that with, like I was

433
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,880
doing that with Neil.
I did it with Jose.

434
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,720
I do, I'm doing with all the
people that have mattered to me

435
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,840
in my life, you know.
And so I think that that's a

436
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,800
really important thing to do is
to go see them and visit them.

437
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,240
And because it's, it's, it's,
it's part of living, you know,

438
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,920
for me, anyway.
No 100%.

439
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,880
He current, well, the current
level.

440
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,640
Well, yeah, it is.
It's it's actually way past

441
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,640
that.
Travel to four to six

442
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,320
destinations off the Peaton Path
every year with friends, wife.

443
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,400
Kid, what does off the beaten
path mean?

444
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,280
I don't know.
I mean, I, I want to go.

445
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,560
I don't want to go to.
Well, I did go to Paris in

446
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,480
London last.
Year.

447
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,960
Well, like Harper's fair argue
or something?

448
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,920
No, we went to.
Well, we went to Palm Springs.

449
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,640
I think that was off the beaten
path.

450
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,880
I think we went to.
But isn't it off a road?

451
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,480
I don't know what beaten Bath
means by in your terms.

452
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:32,880
Not a not a typical place like
going to going to the beach.

453
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,680
So like Omaha or something?
Yeah, something weird like that.

454
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,840
You know that that would be.
I've always that would be

455
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,640
better, I don't know why.
I start looking at What I'm

456
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,840
looking at now is the not recent
days I want to go.

457
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,960
Oh, that's another good one.
I just came up with go to two A

458
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,840
list film film festivals.
And then I also had one that you

459
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,480
kind of inspired me do an open
mic, which is.

460
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,600
Sicily.
Sicily was off the beaten path

461
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,680
to a list, you know.
I mean, that was really cool.

462
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,360
That was great.
I would never go there

463
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:07,560
otherwise.
I never would have done that.

464
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,640
Either it was an odd vacation,
wasn't.

465
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,480
It it was.
It was very odd.

466
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:15,720
Yeah, I'm look at the reason I'm
doing what I'm looking right now

467
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:23,240
is I went to, we went to Igvar
Hazy with a buddy of mine, Jeff

468
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,640
and his brother Scott, you know,
and I hadn't seen them.

469
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,760
I hadn't seen Scott in a while.
So we went to a museum.

470
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:34,360
I've I have found weirdly that
going to museums, art museums in

471
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:38,800
particular, are really something
that that touch me.

472
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,040
Really experience in Palm
Springs you you move through so

473
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,640
fast.
Well, I The thing is, is that

474
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,480
that I can move through 30
paintings and look for the one

475
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,400
that gives me feeling.
I don't, I don't dawdle.

476
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,920
I can look at something and say
Nope, shit, love, love it.

477
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,600
Stop, look, look at it from six
different angles and catch it

478
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,480
and get a feel for it.
Move, move, move, move, move,

479
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,960
move, move, you know, and, and
get a look at each one like, you

480
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,240
know, that that kind of thing
works for me.

481
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,800
That's how I look at an Art
Museum.

482
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,920
I don't go in and it's like I, I
have a buddy that does that.

483
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,240
And he, if you, you know it, he
was three days in the Louvre and

484
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,120
that was barely to cover 1/3 of
it.

485
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:22,240
And your wife and your your
mother and I, we did the Louvre

486
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,120
in four hours, which is probably
a little fast.

487
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:27,880
That is the same friend, doggy,
right?

488
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,960
That's the same guy.
Yeah, yeah, gotcha.

489
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,280
But oh, we went to the we went
to a they had a rally in DC.

490
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Let me see, I'm looking at all
the different places that we

491
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,040
went in the last year.
This is Santini.

492
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,840
We went to Palermo, we went to
Tiramina.

493
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,080
We cooked.
We cooked meals with people that

494
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,480
we didn't know.
We climbed Mount Aetna.

495
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,360
We are near.
The box climbing, I think we

496
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,840
walked.
Yeah, we kind of drove up and

497
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,040
walked up a little hill and
looked at it a little bit, but

498
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,600
didn't really do the whole
climbing thing.

499
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,080
That was a weird tour as well.
Yeah, yeah, we did way too many

500
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,920
tours.
Learned about the vacations, how

501
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,560
they're good, bad and booked and
all that kind of stuff like

502
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,280
that.
Saw way too many old buildings.

503
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,240
What else?
Here I'm looking at the

504
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,480
different things.
Are you just writing what we did

505
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,640
in Sicily?
Is that what you're saying?

506
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,600
No, no, I'm looking at.
I'm looking at where I went in

507
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,400
the.
Different places.

508
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,440
And like each month I went to a
different place, you know what I

509
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,160
mean?
And, you know, I had people

510
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:37,120
that, that, and the way I keep
track of where I've been is

511
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:40,520
probably kind of odd is that I
have a library of pictures and

512
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,280
I'm a, I'm an avid picture taker
of what every of, of, of all the

513
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,960
different things and places you
go and all the different things

514
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,400
you do.
And that is what allows me to,

515
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:58,600
you know, oh, we went to, we
went to London, we went Paris to

516
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:05,920
London, we went to Normandy and
the beaches of Norman, of Omaha,

517
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,360
Omaha Beach and got to see that
that was amazing.

518
00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:13,000
And then we saw Gaverney.
What is it?

519
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,160
Monet's home.
I'm so jealous of that.

520
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,640
I read a book actually a while
ago called Oh Gosh, It was a a

521
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,040
wonderful something.
And it was about him in his last

522
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,760
1020 years of life and how he
went blind and had cataracts and

523
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,400
destroyed $400,000 worth of his
paintings because he was so

524
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,040
angry about how blind he was and
that he could never get the

525
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,240
perception right.
But when you look at the water

526
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,440
lilies and you see the depth and
perception of it, that's the

527
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,840
depth and perception of a man
that's going blind, which I find

528
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,800
to be so interesting.
Wow, What it, it gives you those

529
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,960
things that, you know, you're
like, Oh my gosh, what is this?

530
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,160
How do we do this?
What, what, what makes this

531
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,920
happen?
You know, you know what what

532
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,680
what makes art happen?
Oh, I saw your friends from West

533
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,000
Virginia.
I guess that would be someone

534
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,080
that I progressed.
With that's a new one, yeah.

535
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,800
That's a new one.
That's a brand new one.

536
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,360
Yeah, Sean's a new one.
Yeah, most definitely.

537
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:08,400
Sean and Seth Bryan shout out
Sean and Seth.

538
00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:13,040
We went to Cincinnati.
That's kind of a newer one too.

539
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,680
That's definitely off the beaten
path.

540
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,120
See Art that was.
Bizarre, bizarre you.

541
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:20,840
Know that was very bizarre.
Went to the art studio downtown.

542
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:28,280
Went to Where is this?
Oh wow, we went all over the

543
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,520
place.
That is Streeterville.

544
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:38,760
Where the heck is Streeterville?
Streeterville is in OH.

545
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,240
Where was this Chicago?
OH the wife had her knee chopped

546
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,640
open.
So that kind of killed a lot of

547
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,800
things.
I went to Chicago like 3 times

548
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,760
and we really explored a lot of
the places and restaurants in

549
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:55,120
Chicago that I'd never been to.
I went to Indianapolis and went

550
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:57,480
to my nephew's wedding there and
we went to see.

551
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,040
Michigan City Michigan City, IN.
Yeah, I mean, so when I start to

552
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,440
look at it, it's like, yeah, I
guess like those are off the

553
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,920
beaten path when you think about
it.

554
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,600
It's like, wow, you're into
weird zone there, Mr. Brown

555
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,360
Let's get back to the
resolutions though.

556
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:12,080
I think that a couple that I
just came.

557
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,560
Up Talking Derby.
A couple that I just came up

558
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,520
with were take a singing lesson.
Also, while we're at the Art

559
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,320
Museum, I want to, I want
there's this giant stack of

560
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,080
dishes that was like 10 feet
tall.

561
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,160
I have that picture.
You want to see it?

562
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Yeah, I have it, these cups and
they are.

563
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,880
No, they were bowls.
And you know what I came up

564
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,000
with?
I came up with an idea for a

565
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,200
similar sculpture, but it's all
dirty dishes and it's stacked

566
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,720
like 10 feet high.
So I want to get the the

567
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,520
schematic for that.
Wouldn't that be cool?

568
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,320
That'd be awesome.
A giant life-size.

569
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,560
No, just for to make a sculpture
to make something like that,

570
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,640
'cause I was so fond of those
bowls stacked up, but I think

571
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,600
it'd be way funnier if they were
all dirty 'cause these bowls

572
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,920
were what, about 4 feet across
circumference?

573
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,400
Oh, easily, yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah.

574
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,640
And stacked all the way 8 feet.
Probably this wide.

575
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,800
This wide. 4 feet. 5 feet. 4
four feet.

576
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,520
How much is that?
About as wide as the screen.

577
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,600
This here to here all the way to
here.

578
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,000
All the way to there.
What was the other thing that I

579
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,920
just wrote down?
Went to the Army Museum.

580
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,080
A.
Lot of that.

581
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,800
A lot of trips to Great Falls.
Where do you want to go in 2025?

582
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,840
That's really kind of weird.
That's really what's up in the

583
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,240
air right now.
I'm trying to to develop a place

584
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:39,320
with who is it?
I want to go somewhere with

585
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:46,760
with, with you and your mother
and Jeff and I are talking about

586
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,760
just taking a doing, going up to
Philadelphia.

587
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,960
Jim, I haven't really planned
anything with, I wouldn't mind,

588
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,240
you know, going back to LA and
climbing up those mountains.

589
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Those were kind of cool.
I wanted oh, that's another one.

590
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Let me, you just reminded me of
that.

591
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,360
San Gabriel Mountain.
I want to do that this year.

592
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
That shouldn't be that hard.
San Gabriel Mountain summit.

593
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,480
Let's do that.
We went to Palisades, we went

594
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,160
to, we went kind of down the
coast.

595
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,120
Remember we also, we, we went
out to, was it San Diego where

596
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,080
we, we went to the ship and had
the ship floating.

597
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,440
I totally, yeah, I forgot about
that until I saw.

598
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,240
I mean I see the only way.
The other day, remember this

599
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,960
stuff is to look at it online.
I mean to look at the pictures

600
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,520
that I went through, 'cause we
go to so many different places

601
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,200
and cities and do so many
different things.

602
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,360
What month was Coronado in?
Do you remember?

603
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,240
What does it say on your phone
right there?

604
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,440
That was, I think, February.
Yep.

605
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,560
Oh, that was.
Right off the right out of the

606
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,040
gate.
No, I was in Sundance for

607
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,800
February.
March then.

608
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,640
So it wasn't OK?
Yep.

609
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,600
Yeah, that was March.
May was I went to the Guinness.

610
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,720
Oh, Guinness.
Oh, that's back in we're now

611
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,720
we're back in 23.
So I I chopped past, you know,

612
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,400
I, I went past it.
I got to get, you know, the

613
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,960
whole Ireland was another one,
but that was the previous year.

614
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,600
But those are like the main
places I went to And yes, I got

615
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,080
what I need to do is write down
a list of places I'd like to go.

616
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,520
Edwin kind of has the idea he
still wants to go to the pant

617
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,080
now, but we'll see.
You said that was delayed last

618
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,000
year.
Is that going to happen this

619
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,640
year?
It depends.

620
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,160
It's kind of like there's many
variables.

621
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,040
There's so many variables with
picking trips and it's like

622
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,680
unless I can get people that are
very definitive about what they

623
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,920
want to do and where they want
to go.

624
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,320
We visited the Shaws last year
in Marshfield.

625
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,840
That was really a wonderful
time.

626
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,920
We may do that again this year.
Go up and during the summer and

627
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,920
you know, that's where not
Stephen King, what's his name?

628
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,920
Tyler, the lead guitarist guy
for Aerosmith.

629
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,080
That's.
The lead singer Steven Tyler.

630
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,720
Yeah, he was like one or two
grades ahead of who is it?

631
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,680
Michelle, Bob's wife, you know,
so we saw that, you know, and

632
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,640
it's like we did all.
You saw Aerosmith.

633
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,520
No, no, I went.
We went to his house or his

634
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,320
home.
We went to his.

635
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,880
His.
You saw his home.

636
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,360
Oh yeah.
We didn't see his home, went to

637
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,240
his neighborhood.
You know, it's kind of like, you

638
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,640
know, driving through Beverly
Hills and seeing Bob Hope's

639
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,320
place, you know, that's about
all we were doing.

640
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,880
Remember when we went to the Bob
Hope Museum when I was 13?

641
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,280
Yeah, that was kind of
interesting, wasn't it?

642
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,880
That was an interesting thing
and then we hit the ball onto

643
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,240
the green.
I think I drove it straight into

644
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,800
the water and I was like, that's
about as much as I thought I was

645
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,080
going to get.
Yeah, well, that was in.

646
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,240
Not a good driver.
Short game player here.

647
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,240
That was the national golf cat
thing in Florida.

648
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,840
Yeah, South one.
Yeah, South.

649
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,200
Was there?
No.

650
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,480
Was that one?
Because that would have been pre

651
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,760
2016 like 20/15/2014.
Everybody was there.

652
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,520
Yeah, the whole.
Family, yeah, that was.

653
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,480
Great.
That was a good time.

654
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,040
Very, very.
Fun purpose and self worth.

655
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,040
Changed landscape of current
home.

656
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,880
I did.
I put in a new garden all the

657
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,280
way around all sorts of
different flowers, brought a

658
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,880
bunch of hummingbirds, a bunch
of more colorful birds love that

659
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,600
do not add to attachment
scenario.

660
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,240
I don't have any more.
What's weird, you can't make new

661
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,800
friendships with people if you
don't want to add to the lottery

662
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:20,040
the the attachments.
I wanted to win the lottery

663
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:24,600
again and I I did and I won it 6
times I think this year or seven

664
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,760
and. $3 at a time.
Well, no, I won.

665
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,080
I won 8 bucks once.
Wow dude.

666
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:36,320
Dude, $8 big cash money.
Cash.

667
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,800
Cash money, dude.
I was thinking about taking out

668
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,240
a second mortgage on the House
just so it could buy lottery

669
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:44,880
tickets.
I think that because you're

670
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,120
going to win jiu jitsu.
Yeah.

671
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,480
Yeah, you did.
You told me about that.

672
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,160
Yeah, I did that for about two
weeks and I beat the hell out of

673
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,120
myself and I was like, you know,
this hurts really bad.

674
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,440
I thought you did it once.
I didn't know.

675
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,680
You realized I didn't Really.
No.

676
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,360
No, I went, I went on Monday,
Wednesday, they gave you 2 weeks

677
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,880
free.
And so I went and I wasn't I

678
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,160
wasn't trying to get a free
session.

679
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,600
I said I'll pay, I don't care.
Like no, no, I'll try the free

680
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,679
program and then do that.
And I did it for two weeks.

681
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,840
And then we, and this is in like
March and then we were traveling

682
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,760
and then I said we want to come
back, then I'll buy a month.

683
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,800
And then I came back and I was
like, I don't know if I want to

684
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,560
go.
And then I then my shoulder

685
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,480
started hurting and the wife had
to go get in, get her, her.

686
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,159
We started doing all the trips
to Chicago then.

687
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:32,679
So it's very it, it was, you
know how when things are

688
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:38,480
physically tough that you look
for reasons to not do them and

689
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,920
those reasons become very easy
to accept.

690
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,440
I think that's part of it and
the place.

691
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,679
Yeah, the.
Place and so yeah, exactly.

692
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:48,040
And that's why I kind of dropped
it.

693
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,880
And I'm thinking like, OK, I'm
65, I'm on Social Security.

694
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,000
I now, I now a Medicaid and
everything.

695
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,640
No more healthcare.
The whole Anthem healthcare

696
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,960
thing is behind me for the most
part.

697
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:09,400
I, I ended up netting around 12
five, $12,500.

698
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:14,720
I made off the off the
healthcare off of Anthem last

699
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:15,560
year.
I'm glad.

700
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,880
I hate those guys.
Which is not bad, you know, I

701
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:24,360
mean, I didn't have to kill the
CEO, but they paid me, which is

702
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:25,720
really good.
I mean, they were giving me

703
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:29,000
these checks and I was asking
about the checks and then I

704
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,160
said, what is this for?
And they're like, it's a payment

705
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,800
for overpayment in the past.
And I think it's because I went

706
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,000
to the state insurance board and
I and I cost.

707
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,720
A big I'm glad you did that, and
I had.

708
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,120
And I had time, but everybody I
talked to said you won't win.

709
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:42,640
Don't you're wasting your time.
Don't do it.

710
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,040
Don't do it.
Don't do it, don't do it.

711
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:48,240
And the, and the worst thing you
can do to me is, you know,

712
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:51,360
unless it's like climb Everest,
you don't, you know, that that's

713
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,440
something I ain't going to do.
But if, if there's something

714
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:59,800
that just takes persistence and
to be somewhat meticulous and

715
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,240
know how to word things and to
go after things, and especially

716
00:36:04,240 --> 00:36:05,720
when you feel like you've been
wronged.

717
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,760
And I and we were, I was
certainly wronged.

718
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,960
And that that I go after that.
That's kind of that.

719
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,600
That's the junkyard dog
mentality that I have.

720
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,080
And I use that in a business
too.

721
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,920
I always have.
So it's this thing that you go

722
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,560
after it and I see it.
I see it in you when I see this

723
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,600
new company that you started,
ZHB Productions, where you have

724
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:29,440
this passion about filmmaking
about about podcasts, you, you,

725
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:31,520
you know, you poke the hell out
of me.

726
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,600
Hey, let's do an episode.
Hey, let's do an episode.

727
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,320
Hey, what about this plan?
What about that?

728
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,160
What about that?
I mean, so you're like, you're

729
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:39,960
at it, You, you are in it.
It's, it's your, it's your

730
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,440
element.
It's something you love.

731
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:48,320
And when you find that that that
success that is, and you got to

732
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,760
like revel a little bit in that
and remember.

733
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,920
I'm a song and dance man, what
can I say?

734
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,880
It isn't.
It isn't that you sell your

735
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,480
first movie.
It's the path to making it All

736
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,080
the relationships, all the
interaction, all the failures.

737
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,200
Too all of the.
Heartaches.

738
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,200
Yeah.
Oh yeah.

739
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,600
I mean, I was telling you that,
you know, we would, we would, we

740
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,680
would put if, you know, hundreds
of thousands of dollars into

741
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,600
something when I was in business
and it would fail.

742
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,680
And I and I'd be like, I mean,
monetarily, I never thought I

743
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,160
would ever have access to that
kind of capital to do this kind

744
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,640
of things and make those kind of
bets.

745
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:35,040
And then after I lost to it, not
have any material impact on me.

746
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,400
So, so it, it, it, it, it, it,
it was great to learn from those

747
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,680
things.
And I think that's the key thing

748
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,920
to do is to be able to make the
bat learn from the bat and then

749
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,480
to bet another day and to
realize that you need to bet

750
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,280
another day if you are ever
going to find that passion and

751
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,000
love.
And it's when you can go like,

752
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,880
I'm too far.
I have to do anything.

753
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,680
I'm such a blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.

754
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:01,680
You know, that is when you lose
it.

755
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,840
That's when that's when you just
give the fuck up on life in

756
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,880
general.
Just just like no, take a

757
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,480
chance, walk out the door, go
down the stairs, go to the

758
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,920
store, go to the, go to the, go
to the theater, go to the, go to

759
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,160
the Art Museum, go, go do
something.

760
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,520
Be part of life, you know, and
you see those.

761
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:22,560
And having the human
interactions too, because if

762
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,200
you're, if you're not having
this regularly, you do very

763
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,360
quickly become not sociable.
What I found, if you like, I

764
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,640
found myself very busy with
things for some time and then

765
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,880
going out and then talking to a
person like, oh, wow, I actually

766
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,960
haven't done this in a while.
Yeah, it's, it's an exercise and

767
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:39,720
do it.
Muscle.

768
00:38:39,720 --> 00:38:41,800
Yeah, yeah.
You, you when you don't, it's

769
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:42,960
like you don't speak in front of
people.

770
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,320
I haven't spoke in front of
people in a long time.

771
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,800
If you put me in front of an
audience, it would be harder.

772
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,320
I I did, I did it at my my
nephew's wedding.

773
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:57,400
I I read up some page or a
couple of Bibles, which is kind

774
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,520
of funny having me read that,
but.

775
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:01,160
I thought that was really funny,
yeah.

776
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,040
That's what he wanted.
So I did.

777
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,880
You know, you, you just, you
Curb Your stuff.

778
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,280
You know, if I have a Muslim and
you gave me a Christian prayer,

779
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,480
I'd read it.
I don't give a shit.

780
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,480
You know, if I was a Christian I
and you gave me a Muslim, I

781
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,480
would read it.
So I'm an atheist.

782
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,920
So you give me either 1.
I don't care.

783
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,360
I'll read it if it makes you
feel good and your life and you

784
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,920
happy.
Why should I crap on what you

785
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,680
want to do with yourself?
I'm, you know, just don't try to

786
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,120
tack your shoes on the bottom of
my feet and make me walk in your

787
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,520
path.
My path is different, right?

788
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,920
Exactly.
I I won't, I won't.

789
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,240
I won't put a snare out there to
grab you, to make you walk my

790
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:43,920
path or promise you food like we
do to our foreign countries when

791
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,480
we have missionaries go in and
hey, you want to eat here, read

792
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,360
the Bible.
You have to be a Christian to do

793
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,200
that.
What time are we at here?

794
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,040
How how long we're?
We're only in about.

795
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,680
We're only in about 40 minutes.
40 minutes.

796
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:57,480
Gotcha.
Gotcha.

797
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,680
Just curious.
Just curious.

798
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,520
I don't know, I think that I'm
pretty good on this episode.

799
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,480
On all the things you've got the
summary what you want to.

800
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,040
Do let me do that.
Let me do that real quick.

801
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,640
I'll I'll just tell, tell the
audience what we're what I'm

802
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,040
doing this year.
I'm going to direct and produce

803
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,440
2 projects, get the legs for my
nonprofit, do an open mic to a

804
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,440
list festivals.
I want to make that sculpture

805
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,160
where at least design the
sculpture idea.

806
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,160
Take a singing lesson.
Hold it, hold it, hold it.

807
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,160
Design A sculpture.
What's that?

808
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:26,800
That was the thing I just said
earlier.

809
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,320
You remember the bulls that we
were talking about that it but

810
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,560
dirty dishes instead of clean
and then take a singing lesson.

811
00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:38,680
San Gabriel Mountain summit.
How far?

812
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:40,400
Is San Gabriel Mountains.
I don't know.

813
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,080
I have no idea.
I couldn't tell you.

814
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,640
You were telling me you want a
Camino Del Taco wherever it is.

815
00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:48,720
Oh yeah, we could definitely do
that.

816
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:50,800
That wouldn't be that hard.
That was.

817
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,400
I would do that that that I
would put that on my list this

818
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,480
year to.
See, Camino del de Santiago is

819
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,080
what you're talking about in
Spain I.

820
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,200
Like Del Taco better, but.
We'll, I do we're.

821
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,480
Going to San Tigo.
And then, yeah, that was it.

822
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,000
And then I guess stay sober is
the last one, yeah.

823
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,720
That's probably going to be the
key for me.

824
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:11,680
I can achieve more if I'm, you
know, and and I'll live longer

825
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,360
and all those other kind of
silly things and I'll be in

826
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,960
better shape.
I want to I want to get I want

827
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:23,880
to continue my 10 five year.
I'd like to do better than 10510

828
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,640
thousand, 5010 thousand 500
steps a year, a day, every day

829
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,720
of the week for the year.
I'd like to do 10711 something

830
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:34,720
like that.
I would like to work out

831
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,120
physically lift weights three
days a week on average.

832
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:50,160
I would like to I'd like to
visit 1234544 international

833
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,840
locations around the world,
places that I've never been.

834
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,440
I want to go.
I want, I kind of want to go to

835
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,320
the Arctic this year.
I was thinking about that and I

836
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,320
saw a trick, a trap that would
work.

837
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,680
Cool.
The other is I want to of

838
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,480
course, stay sober.
That would be good.

839
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,120
I'd like to do something.
I think the the, the diet.

840
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,120
What would get rid of the the?
Turkey Neck.

841
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,080
Yeah, the Turkey neck to me is
just sort of like that, tells me

842
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,040
I'm too fat, you know?
Is it really, does it have to do

843
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,240
with that or does it just have
to do with gravity stretching

844
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:26,800
your skin out?
I thought it was more that.

845
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,120
Well, you got fat and you got
fatter chin.

846
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,360
It's stretched out and then
you're out.

847
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,120
Your face sags a little bit.
Yeah, but The thing is.

848
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,640
Oh, I see.
I see what you're talking about

849
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,920
if.
I stand up, you get it goes

850
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,320
away.
But when I sit down and Crouch

851
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,600
here, it, it's more prevalent.
But The thing is, is that when I

852
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:56,320
was 210, it was it was gone.
So it was really gone.

853
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,760
Completely.
It was.

854
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:03,040
It was like it was, you know, so
you're you know, I fat face

855
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:09,120
right now, you know, that stay
healthy, possibly fix my arm.

856
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,800
Somebody was offering to want to
go golf and I haven't been able

857
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,320
to golf and, you know, almost a
year and a half.

858
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,000
Jeez, is my shoulder.
So you know, and that's

859
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,440
something I I did enjoy going to
the different courses around the

860
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,640
world and golfing and that
that's something I like to do

861
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:31,080
again.
You know what else I was

862
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,920
thinking about?
I'm going to expand the garden a

863
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:38,400
little bit, work more here,
continue to look for.

864
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,400
The wife's always talking about
I want to sell this place and

865
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,120
move and maybe, maybe we'll
figure out a place that she

866
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,920
actually wants to rent.
A place or something like that,

867
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,040
that'd be interesting.
That'd be their.

868
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,880
Family's right here.
So a different thing.

869
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,400
That's the problem, yeah.
Until they all die and the dogs

870
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,000
die and everybody dies.
And you know, she's got a

871
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,280
different frame of mind of where
she wants to go when she dies.

872
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,320
She doesn't want to be zapped
like me.

873
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:09,200
She wants to go into a healthy
sunrise facility or something

874
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,480
like that.
You know, I mean, I've asked her

875
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:12,680
and she says that's what she
wants.

876
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,960
And if that's what she wants,
you know, we can certainly

877
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,640
afford it.
We can, we can, you know, if,

878
00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:21,040
if, if I'm the one that's alive
and doing well and she's the one

879
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,800
that's a a pudding head.
Well, I can.

880
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,160
I can hire people to to live
here and take care of her for as

881
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:28,880
long as B.
That's what you really want to

882
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,800
do is live in.
Yeah, that's what that's what

883
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,760
I'd like to do.
Until you can't do that anymore,

884
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:34,600
of course.
But yeah.

885
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,440
Well, the, I mean, the main
thing is you need somebody 24/7.

886
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,280
So you need two people to live
here, you know, or you hire a

887
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,720
service where they come and they
stay and you, you know, you

888
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:46,360
figure out what the hell and it
and it's all just logistics and

889
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:47,400
stuff.
No for sure.

890
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,320
I think we're in a good place
that we can do that.

891
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,920
I want to win the lottery again.
I want to win a higher numbers

892
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,840
this year.
That's kind of the key.

893
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:02,680
I'd like one of my my private
placement investments to come in

894
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,720
and hit me, give me a win.
I'd like that to happen this

895
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:06,960
year.
How many do you have?

896
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,920
Right now I have 5 resolutions
and I would like what?

897
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,640
I'm talking about resolutions.
Oh hell, I don't know.

898
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,600
I have a shit ton, yeah, but I'm
going to just add them to my

899
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,560
five year plan.
And because I need to modify it

900
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,680
a little bit, because I still
want to be a good person.

901
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,960
I still have, I still want to
continue in the business area

902
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,840
that I'm in and I keep
knowledgeable of it.

903
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,240
I'm going to find out whether or
not it's something that, you

904
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:34,960
know, people if if when I go
there and I speak and I talk to

905
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,880
them, if it, if, if my knowledge
resonates with them, I'll know.

906
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:42,160
And if they look at me like I'm
a pasty headed old man and then

907
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,920
I'm no good anymore, fuck it,
I'll leave and I'll move on.

908
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:50,480
You know, I have no like, you
know, but if it engages me and I

909
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,000
got to tell you one of the
things that that keeps you alive

910
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,640
and youthful more than anything
is hanging out with people like

911
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,680
you, younger people that are
smarter.

912
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,880
It's it's they have I saw a
comment that old people have

913
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:14,160
wisdom and experience.
Young people have energy.

914
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,800
And what is it about taking
chances?

915
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,160
Risk, risk.
Young people are much riskier

916
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,880
and healthier and have unlimited
energy.

917
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,880
And old people are, we have
experience and wisdom.

918
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,640
And it's like, OK, those are the
kind of things that when I hang

919
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:35,680
out with younger people that I,
I live, I'm sort of an age-old

920
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,360
vampire dude that I kind of live
off that that makes me, that

921
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,600
makes me just alive.
It's alive.

922
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,000
It's alive.
Oh, and next week we're adding

923
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:48,360
new cameras, so be be prepared
for that, everybody.

924
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,440
I forgot about that.
Yeah, I forgot this camera.

925
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,360
There's music on this one too.
Yeah, all going forward we're

926
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:55,720
gonna have the music intro with
the video.

927
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,160
So is it gonna snow in LA?
No, I don't think so.

928
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,080
Are you sure?
I'm pretty positive in Tahoe,

929
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,760
it's snowing.
They just got 9 inches up there.

930
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,400
Yeah, Will's up there right now.
We're supposed to.

931
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,440
Between we're supposed to get
between 5 and 10 feet.

932
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:12,200
You gonna go skiing?
I.

933
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,960
Think was it 1-2 maybe inches?
Inches.

934
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,680
Sorry I thought it was feet but
I messed that up.

935
00:47:18,240 --> 00:47:21,360
Somewhere like that.
That's that's kind of the the

936
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,520
that's that's where we are for
what we've accomplished right

937
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:26,800
for the year.
Well, these.

938
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,800
These are resolutions and
accomplishments, yeah.

939
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,640
Yeah, kind of what and, and I
think that that's a really good

940
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,280
thing is to assess like, well,
you know, you make a bunch, a

941
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,680
lot of people make predictions.
Hey, the market's going to go to

942
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,600
10,000.
Hey, you know, unemployment's

943
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,720
going to be 12%.
Hey, there's going to be no more

944
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:45,640
wars.
Hey, we're going to do this.

945
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:50,000
And then when those things don't
happen, no one comes back and

946
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,320
says, well, Phil, you know, you
said this, this and this would

947
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,440
happen And and it never did.
They all you were wrong.

948
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,520
I think I'm going to accomplish
World Peace next year.

949
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:02,280
I think that's 2026 for me.
I'm going to be able to do that.

950
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:08,480
I would hope for a resolution in
the Middle East by the end of

951
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,920
this year.
That's I.

952
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,320
Hope that happens.
That would add a huge amount and

953
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,920
not like 2 state solution, all
that stuff 'cause that's

954
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,680
something that's going to take
years to happen.

955
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,400
So Jesus.
Is going to come back.

956
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,560
But stop, stop, stop killing
kids, you know?

957
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,720
We'll see what happens, yeah.
You know, and I'm, I'm sure

958
00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:32,720
they're just going to usurp Gaza
and do that.

959
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,840
And I mean, I know I, I don't
know what's going to happen, but

960
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,320
I, I would like to see that come
to an end.

961
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:45,920
I would like to see, I would
like to see a smooth year in the

962
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:47,520
United States.
I would like to see.

963
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,320
Me too.
We'll see what happens in these

964
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:50,840
next four years.
It's going to be interesting,

965
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,680
yeah, but we're going to be
alive for it, so.

966
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,240
Will we come together?
Is a question.

967
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,080
That's true.
I think we're wrapping up here,

968
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,080
right?
Yeah.

969
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:00,640
All right.
