Speaker 1: there and I'm here. But I'm telling you how men

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: think right now? This This is why we're here, buddy,

48
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: that's what we're here for. Um. Also a question for you,

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: because you have done everything in TV, how did you

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: pivot from having a medical degree to I'm gonna go

51
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: do TV. Ken Jong and I are the two. We're

52
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. I have no we certainly

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: wasn't planned. I mean I was so, I'm a doctor.

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: I went to medical school, I was practicing medicine, and

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: then honestly, it came down to I realized my heart

56
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: wasn't in medicine. And it's not a job. It's a calling.

57
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: It's not a job that you just punched the punch

58
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: the clock and do. So I decided I gotta take

59
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: a break. I have to figure out what's going on

60
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: because I'm not helping my patients, I'm not helping myself.

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: I've done stand up a couple of times in med school,

62
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: and I thought, all right, I could go be a

63
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: scheme bum, I could go travel the world or whatever.

64
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: And I thought, no, I'm gonna go to l A

65
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: do comedy for a year, grow up, go back be

66
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: a doctor and being a responsible human being. And instead,

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: twenty years later around here in l A like live

68
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: in the Green, How did that? I love? I love

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: that for so many reasons. One, you bet on yourself

70
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: and you went and you made it happen. I love

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: That's what I always encourage people, bet on yourself. Um,

72
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: but too was everybody in your world be like you're crazy, Matt.

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: You crazy? You have you have a medical degree, you're

74
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: a doctor. You're going out to l A to do

75
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: stand up my uh my friends were all like, no,

76
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: you're at least the seventeenth funniest one of us, Matt.

77
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: This makes total sense that you're gonna go be a comedian. Honestly.

78
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: The crazy thing was I think my friends probably thought

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: you'll outgrow this. The hardest part. My dad's a doc.

80
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: He's uh, he's a professor medicine, world renowned physician. He

81
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: used a professor at the University of Colorado. Right was

82
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: doing my residency and that That was the hardest part

83
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: was telling him because I thought I thought my dad

84
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: was just gonna be devastating, just disappointed, heartbroken, right or

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: think you're nuts, you're not gonna go. But when I

86
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: told him, I was leaving, and then I wanted to

87
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: try comedy. First words, he said, where life is short,

88
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: do what makes you happy, and it's it was. It

89
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: was a weight was lifted, but it's it's been. The

90
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: best advice I got is is to go after it.

91
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: And what you said is something I always say too,

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: is bet on yourself, because you could bet on a

93
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: career like health care is always going to be stable.

94
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: You could bet on you know, living, working in the

95
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: family business, whatever it is, or bet on your passion,

96
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: bet on yourself. And I always felt like, if I'm

97
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: gonna if I'm gonna take a swing, you gotta you

98
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: gotta go for it. And and I love that. I

99
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: think betting on yourself is the way it motivates you.

100
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: And it's also it's the way you put your head

101
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: on the pillow at night and go, all right, I'm

102
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: doing I'm doing what I'm passionate about. So how did you?

103
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: I love it, buddy, and I hope our listeners like

104
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: really received that when they hear that UM question for you? Then,

105
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: how did you get from stand up comedy to like,

106
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: then you won the Apprentice and now you host, you

107
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: host American Ninja Warrior, American Ninja Warrior June. You're UM

108
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: and you have an extensive like TV career? How did

109
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: you pivot from comedy into that? So I think you

110
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: know another. Another thing I say is say yes to everything,

111
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: and my my approach has been UM. There are so

112
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: many talented people in any industry, but particularly in entertainment.

113
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: And if you're sitting on your ass thinking I'm so talented,

114
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: people are gonna find me. They're not gonna come knocking

115
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: because there are other people beating the doors down. And

116
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: the thing I found was I initially came out. I

117
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna do stand up comedy, that I

118
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: was doing some sketch comedy and thought I'd be a

119
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: sitcom actor. But somebody came in and said, hey, we

120
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: want to submit you to host this show. And this

121
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: was back in two thousand four, and I said yes.

122
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: And that show only lasted a season, but it led

123
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: to UH it was a game show, and it led

124
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: to a home makeover show, and it led to Sports

125
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: Supersports comedy show, and that led to Ninja. Whereas that

126
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: first hosting job I got led to the job I

127
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: have now and and you know that got me on

128
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: Celebrity Apprentice, and and so many things have come about

129
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: from from saying yes, and and and and being being

130
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,679
Speaker 1: the kind of person people want to work with, and

131
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: and that is showing up working your ass off, being

132
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: professional when things don't work out, saying hey, I appreciate

133
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity, or if it doesn't work out right, then

134
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: realize life is a marathon. So something might not work

135
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: out in the short term, but it could come to

136
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: you know, six months later, five years later, ten years later,

137
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: that can come back. And so I think for me,

138
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: I've always tried to say every opportunity, I'm going to

139
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: go in there and and hope that they would want

140
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: to work with me again, because it's just been a gift.

141
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: It's been awesome, but it's gonna go away, and I

142
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: need to figure out how do I land that next show.

143
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't go away for a long time.

144
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: But it's that idea of you're always you're always kind

145
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: of looking for the next thing, And I think the

146
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: way to do it is to to try to find

147
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: those people and that you really connect with because I

148
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: think there's there really is a power in networking of

149
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: of connecting with people and building relationships. Uh that can

150
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: that can manifest in ways you don't even understand, but

151
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: I think it's and and it's helping people out to

152
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: like doing a favor for somebody and you know, not

153
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: expecting anything, but but building that goodwill because I I

154
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: see it. I've seen it. I've been out here for

155
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: over twenty years now, and I've seen how those little

156
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: kindnesses and those little efforts and those things overall, it

157
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: just builds that momentum that you need to survive to

158
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: any business, but particularly one that's as insane. Is this

159
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: one right? And it's it's the same, it's no different

160
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: in professional sports. Um intangibles. As you kept speaking, I

161
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: kept thinking about intangibles. Is this person a good person

162
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: in the locker room? Are they a good person to

163
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: every single person in the building, the security staff, the

164
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: dorm and everybody, the trainers, the medical staff, the intangibles?

165
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Are you respected? Do you show up? Are you on time?

166
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: Are you played? Are you courteous? Just like do you

167
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: invest in other people? Do you ask people about their day,

168
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: their life, their family, and all of those intangibles come back.

169
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: Like you said, maybe it's not next year, maybe it's

170
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: five years from now, maybe it's ten years. Maybe it doesn't.

171
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: But you invested in people, and it's not what you know,

172
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: it's who you know. And so many times I've actually

173
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 1: got it. I've got opportunities from people from my playing life,

174
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: from people I met ten years ago because I remember you,

175
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: remember you. We had a really good connection. I just

176
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: loved how you respected me and talked with me. And

177
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: just like, things come back around, and uh, I think

178
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: it's a you don't do it for that. You invest

179
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: in people to be a good person and to discover

180
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: their journeys. But be it does come back around, it's

181
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: gonna find you again at some point. I've seen it

182
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: in l a. I've seen it in friends. I've seen

183
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: it in their lives. They've been on different projects and

184
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: I see the same people on the different projects. I'm like, Wow,

185
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: you guys all work together. I love each other. Adam

186
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: sand is the prime example of a guy who works

187
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: with his friends again. You see, you know, anytime you

188
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: see one of his movies. It's like the Old Big

189
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: Crossbones where it's like the same people again and again,

190
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: but it's perfect. Someone He's like, these people make me

191
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: my best. Um, they've they've been good to me. I'm

192
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna be good in them. And I think when you

193
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: help us. When the other thing is, you also learn

194
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: a lot anytime you any experience you have, if you're

195
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: if you're open, if you're earnest, if you invest in it,

196
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: you learn things that inevitably imprint on you. And I

197
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: think hopefully continue to elevate your game because we're all

198
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: trying to grow. Right. If you're stat that you're you're dead.

199
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's and it's a fun I mean

200
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: entertainment is is it's a ridiculous a ridiculously fun job.

201
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: And the opportunities that we get to do and and

202
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: and and the other thing is I always try to

203
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: appreciate it is to say, like I literally when I

204
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: was in medicine, it's truly life or death. You see

205
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: what really true? Life or death situations are an entertainment.

206
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: We act like it's life and death, but you know

207
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about Ninja's or I'm on the shorts and

208
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: those things. And I always try to step back and say,

209
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: particularly growing I grew up in Colorado, it was always

210
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: sports in school. Entertainment was never on the radar. But

211
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: I loved I loved movies. I loved entertainment. And now

212
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm out here, and you know, I get to work

213
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: at Universal Studios or you get to meet some of

214
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: these people, and to always say I have an appreciation

215
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: for it. And and to to also say I choose

216
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: a career with a lot of risk and a lot

217
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: of a lot of issues, but you get some of

218
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: these opportunities and never take those for granted. And and

219
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: and just sit back. And the other thing I would

220
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,599
Speaker 1: love to do is to talk to my friends like

221
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: I grew up with, and and to just remind yourself, man, like,

222
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: remember where you came from. Remember be grateful. I guess

223
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: is you know, have gratitude for the stuff you're getting

224
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: to do, and not worry about what you're not getting

225
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: or what you're missing, but then be grateful for you

226
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: do have, which which is a challenge, particularly during the

227
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: pandemic and everything. We're all a little for it. Yeah,

228
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: we'll get into that, because that's very much part of

229
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: the listener questions, But, Um, you're inspiring me because there's

230
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: there's been I never thought i'd want to get into TV.

231
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: I never I wanted to play hockey. It didn't play

232
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: hockey because it was on TV. I played hockey because

233
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: I loved it. But there's been a there's been a

234
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: couple of things that have come my way. Um, And

235
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I've thought about it, but kind of like, yeah, I

236
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to give up a

237
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: day at my lake house for that. I don't want

238
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: to give up a day of like flying or doing

239
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: something fun for that. But you're inspiring me to see

240
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: the fun in it, to see the joy in it,

241
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: see the opportunity in it. Um. And it's something that's

242
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: been kind of a couple of things have landed in

243
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: my inbox that I've I've thought about but ultimately not

244
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: moved towards. I don't know if I was ready for

245
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: it or I don't know if it was the right

246
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: time for it. Um, But you're inspired maybe to give

247
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: another look at it. It's what Yeah, Well I was

248
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: gonna say, look, you you've got a great personality, you

249
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: got a great look. And it's the thing I think

250
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: when you go into it with the idea of there's

251
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: no downside. Right where you go, people like, hey, you

252
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: might look like a jackass or something. Well, look, I'm

253
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: not afraid of embarrassing myself. And I also trust, I

254
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: trust that I will do well enough to to be

255
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: where I can hold my head up high. But when

256
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: you start to when you start to go into it

257
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: and say, hey, man, I could really have fun and

258
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: expand something. And the thing I love about what I've

259
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: created in TV is largely I get to be myself,

260
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: which would really is a blast. Like I go on

261
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: and I'm a naturally enthusiastic guy. I love I love

262
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: meeting people. I love telling stories. Ninja. We got to

263
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: tell these incredible stories that you know, I was an

264
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: athlete growing up, or and and and just love seeing

265
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: people push themselves past it and and when you get

266
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: to when when you get to the secret I think

267
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: to being good in Hollywood is very often figuring out

268
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: how to be yourself and get out of the way

269
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: because we all kind of put these things on. And honestly,

270
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: that's where, like the first ten years of my career

271
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 1: we're doing is you know, you you try to be

272
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: will Ferrell, or you're trying to be Alex Trebek rest

273
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: in Peace or any of these people, and then all

274
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're like, no, man, I want to

275
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: be Brooks, like I want to be mad Eyes, but

276
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: I want to be this person inside who I am.

277
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: Because the thing you see, particularly when it is person

278
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: when you're hosting, it's people want some authenticity. They want

279
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: to know this is who you are. And I think

280
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: once once you figure that out and you're able to

281
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: deliver that, that's what people respond to. Okay, love it.

282
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: I'll take that advice. Thank you, buddy. One last question

283
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: then we're gonna get into our list. Your thoughts, um

284
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: your favorite give me your absolute favorite thing about being

285
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: on TV and the opportunities that you have said. Look,

286
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: I would love to say Celebrity Apprentice was amazing because

287
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: we got to raise a million dollars for the Arthritis Foundation.

288
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: I have rheumatoid arthritis UH, chronic autoimmune disease that changed

289
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: my life, diagnosed in two thousand two. So to get

290
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: a raise a million dollars and and just as importantly

291
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: to share my story and raise awareness was awesome. If

292
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: I said that was my favorite part, that would make

293
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: me a good person. My favorite part of was that

294
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: I've become friends with Arnold Schwartzeninger. Like I my childhood bedroom,

295
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: I'll be there for Thanksgiving. My parents still live in

296
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: the house I grew up in. My bedroom hasn't changed

297
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: since I graduated from high school. The Predator posters up there.

298
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean ever since ever six I've slept with Schwarzenegger

299
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: in my bedroom. And now I'm friends with this guy.

300
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: We've got the travel globe doing charity events and and

301
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: my buddy, my buddy was just it was just he.

302
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: I was so excited my last birthday anyway, we went

303
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: to Austria together and on my birthday, Arnold brought a

304
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: cake at We're having stogies, and I sent a photo

305
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: to my buddy and he goes. He said, if everything

306
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: went away, if if you had to leave it, you

307
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: had to go whatever you know, jig ditches, do whatever

308
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: you got, you made it. This is like sixteen year

309
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: old that would have been like life is complete. And

310
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: in that moment, I've got a photo. Let me see this.

311
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: This photo Schwarzener hand me to his Christmas party was stallone. Yeah,

312
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: like and in this photo I was just like, that's

313
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: it's next to like the photos I got with my parents.

314
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: It's like that photo that that's it. That's why I

315
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: came out here. And so like that moment was really

316
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: one when when those two guys whose movies I can

317
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: still quote to this day, when I got to meet

318
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: them and like, you know, not be peers, but but

319
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: but like work with him and hang out with him,

320
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: it was that was amazing, And that's certainly made at

321
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: this point, I'm playing with how some money in this career.

322
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: I I once met Arnold but couldn't see me. You

323
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: get it, you get it. My my one of my

324
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: best buddies. That's his favorite line from that Get to

325
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: the Chopper obviously, but then he couldn't see me. Um yeah,

326
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: So okay, buddy, I love it. It's so good, so good. Okay,

327
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: let's get to some of these. Let's do it. I

328
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: want your input on these, so our listeners, our listeners

329
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: are pouring out to us. A lot of people are struggling,

330
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people are uncertain with the future. Um

331
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: COVID obviously is taking a massive impact from people's professional

332
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: and personal lives. So they've reached out to you and

333
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: I Matt, and we're going to do our best to

334
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: try and help people. Let's do it. Um, here's the

335
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: first one from our community. Where will I end up

336
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: after college? Where do you think somebody in college right now,

337
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: where are they going to end up? What's the world

338
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: look like for somebody coming out of college? Why? I

339
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: I think, Look, I have no idea. I have no

340
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: idea what the world's gonna look like. I mean, we

341
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: just heard news today of a vaccine that might be

342
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: effect if it really is, that could really change the

343
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: face of COVID. But I think this pandemic has been

344
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: an extreme example of the reality that we don't know

345
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: the future really, it's it's so unpredictable. Um. And we've

346
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: been very fortunate to largely you know, I think back

347
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, the events nine eleven, uh, this pandemic,

348
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: I I think are just those events. I think Reagan

349
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: being shot, like the Space Shuttle blowing up, those kind

350
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: of landmark events. Um. But but this pandemic and nine

351
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: eleven particularly being ones that I think shifted the world

352
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: moving forward. So I don't know what the world's going

353
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: to be moving forward. But but the reality is, um,

354
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: you if you're in college, you are still at a

355
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: place where you are you are able to mold your future,

356
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: and I think that that was one of the great

357
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: things in college. Here's what I will say. When I

358
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: was in college, I thought I knew what I wanted

359
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: to do for the rest of my life. I thought

360
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: I was going to become a doctor. I thought I

361
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: had it all planned out. What I've realized since then

362
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: is I had no idea. So I think there was

363
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: always a lot of pressure though, when you were in

364
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: college to feel like you had life figure it out.

365
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: And I want to just tell people you don't. I

366
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: said it before. Life is a marathon. Don't feel like

367
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: you need to have all the answers. What I think

368
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: you would want to do is to try to to

369
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: try to build up your knowledge base, find something you're

370
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: passionate about, but also be okay saying, you know, whether

371
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: you take a job, whether you travel, whether you whether

372
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: you choose something safe, or whether you choose to take

373
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: that big risk or go to law school, whatever it is,

374
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: to say, this might not be where it goes and

375
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: that's okay. Things could change, and just to say what

376
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to do is to continue to search for

377
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: that thing. Hopefully search for that passion that's something that

378
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: really excites you, because again, I don't, I don't work.

379
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, obviously it's entertainment, so it's not

380
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: that hard. But I love what I do and I'm

381
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: so grateful to have found that. So if you're in college,

382
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: I would say, just try to be okay realizing that

383
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: you may feel all your classmates everyone around you has

384
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: life figured out or has their plans out there. They don't.

385
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: Most of them are just like me, where you thought

386
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: you knew something or you kind of thought, hey, this

387
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: is the right answer, but you're going to experience in

388
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: the next you know, ten years out of college, I

389
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: think is when you really start to grow up and

390
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: find out who you are and just to be okay

391
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: with that and to say that the world is changing,

392
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: but it's really just that this has been a very

393
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: surface realization of life so always changing. So I think,

394
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: just be okay saying you don't have to have it

395
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: figured out, um, but just kind of being able to

396
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: live with that discomfort and to say I'm really going

397
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: to commit to bettering myself, to betting on myself, to

398
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: saying yes opportunities and to finding something you're passionate about.

399
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: I like all of that. I love I love all

400
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: of that. I love that you kept the door open

401
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: for somebody to pivot. Um, because coming out of college

402
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: that you might see your life one way and then

403
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: there they might not be hiring with a degree that

404
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: you have. Now maybe they just the world might be

405
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: there the way, And so keeping the idea that it's

406
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: okay that maybe you still want to do this, but

407
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: also for the time being, I might have to pivot here,

408
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: and actually that pivot, as it was in your life,

409
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: could be the greatest blessing of your life. Um. The

410
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: other thing that I keep in mind, I've I've never

411
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: been to college, so I don't know what it's light

412
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: coming out of college. But I don't want people to

413
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: assume that now that they have a college degree, that

414
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: they're going to have a job that I think the

415
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: world is intensely competitive and even if you come from

416
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: a great school, you are going to have to earn

417
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: that job. Like it was like when I was trying

418
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: to make the NHL, I had to unseed somebody who

419
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: was already there to earn that job. It wasn't just like, oh,

420
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: I've been drafted they signed me to professional contract. Oh,

421
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play pro. No, there are so many more

422
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: people that don't make pro than do. Even once they

423
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: are drafted and signed, they still never make it because

424
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: they never unseed somebody. So UM would encourage those the

425
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: people finishing up college to think of that too. World's

426
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. It's even gonna be tougher. Now you're

427
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to fight, You're probably gonna have to claw.

428
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: I would also another thing that comes to mind is

429
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: reach out to maybe somebody that um, some contacts that

430
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 1: you have you know. Yeah, well, going back to networking

431
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: for sure, and taking opportunities to say again, I think

432
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: a lot of people make choices based on paper, like

433
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: I want to do this career, but being okay, saying hey,

434
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take an internship where I'm gonna you know,

435
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: shadow somebody or really get to learn a career, because again,

436
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: you might think you know what you want to do

437
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: and then you get into it and say this isn't

438
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: lighting my fire. Yeah, okay, great advice. Thanks. Next question,

439
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: if you could, you're gonna be on CNN or Fox

440
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: News or wherever you can answer this one. What does

441
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: the future look like it's a very broad question, but

442
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: let's go with it. Let's see where your mind goes. Well.

443
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: I I think, look, I think our future is great.

444
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: I think we've seen we've withstood worldwide pandemic and largely

445
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: it seems that we are, you know, despite despite case

446
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: numbers going up, it seems fatalities are going down. I

447
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: think as a nation, we've we've been through a tremendous

448
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: amount of growth with civil unrest and kind of an

449
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: awakening and a reckoning on some of the racial past.

450
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: I think, I I I think our future really isn't

451
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: our hands though it's it's still really up to us

452
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: what what we will shape. I think we're seeing this

453
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: evolution to me with social media. Um with this, I

454
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: think there has been a cheapening of kind of the

455
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: national conversation when it happens online and people say things

456
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: online that they wouldn't say face to face to people,

457
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: and I think we we've lost some of that. But

458
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: that's the reality of of of social media right now.

459
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: I think our future is is it's it's it's a

460
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: it's a bright future for not just the world, but

461
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: I think particularly for America. I think we're seeing you know,

462
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: despite all the division in politics, it's like this is

463
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: kind of how the nation has been back and forth.

464
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: People say, we've never been so divided. We we had

465
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: a civil war before, we've we've been divided, and I

466
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: think we're What we're seeing here is is a real

467
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: good challenge to democracy and and people feeling more. We

468
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: had more people vote than ever before, which I think

469
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: is a good sign for people feeling involved. Um, I

470
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: think hopefully the news of the vaccine is great because

471
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: I think I think we're never going to go back

472
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: to where we were before COVID. I think there's any

473
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: time we now have a viral outbreak of flu coming in,

474
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: there's going to be fears of COVID two point. Now,

475
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: I think masks are going to be a new part

476
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: of our existence, particularly particularly if you're sick. So I

477
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see some changes. But again we we

478
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: we never underestimate humans ability to adapt to a new

479
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: situation and still thrive. Oh I love that. I love that. Finished.

480
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: So I have no idea what the future is gonna be,

481
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: but I'm still optimistic. So I'm the same way. So

482
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: when I when I think of this question, the first

483
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: thing that comes to mind is, and I speak from experience,

484
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: is that sometimes there there needs to be a disruption,

485
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: an unchosen disruption, in order for better things to come

486
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: into your life. UM. And it's hard, it's a hard

487
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: way to receive this. There's been so much trauma. There's

488
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: been so many deaths, so much hardship, loss of businesses,

489
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: loss of relationships, loss of connection with one another, loss

490
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: of family members, deaths. There's been so much loss in this.

491
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: But I believe that from this I'm always I'm always

492
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: an optimistic guy, and I'm always I always they see

493
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: things as an opportunity. And I believe from this, though

494
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: none of us chose this, this will some way, we

495
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: will find a way to make this the best thing

496
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: that happened to us. UM, my hockey career, this is,

497
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: this is where I draw from the experience. I got

498
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: a phone call one day that said, thirty four years

499
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: of hockey boom is done. Off a cliff right now.

500
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: You are released. My hockey career is done. I never wanted,

501
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: I never chose that. I never I would have probably

502
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: said no, I'll give anything to get it back. But

503
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: that disruption in my life lead me to so many

504
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: new opportunities, so many new friendships, so many new partnerships.

505
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: I'm only doing this podcast, having this conversation with you

506
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: because of that disruption, and it's and I've my my

507
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: eyes have just widened to the entire world, whereas before

508
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: they were stuck inside a hockey rink. And so I

509
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: just hope people can draw something from that where I

510
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: know we're going through tough times. I know people are hurting,

511
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: but tough times don't last. Tough tough people do, and

512
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: so there is some sort of an opportunity. I think

513
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: the future of work has forever changed. I think people

514
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: are really assessing what true happiness is to them, not

515
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: what professional happiness is, what true happiness is. I think

516
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: there's so many good things that are going to come

517
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: from this. I do still think we're in this for

518
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: a little while still hopefully, like you said that, the

519
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: news of the possible vaccine just came out today, Hopefully

520
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: that comes sooner than later. But I'm always always going

521
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: to find an opportunity at something. I think that's I

522
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: think that's a that's a great way of of phrasing

523
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: it is is that idea of right, there's there's nothing

524
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: happens good or bad. But thinking makes it so where

525
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: you really you know, in these times of of challenge,

526
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: that to to to say I will, I will get

527
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: through this. And and you're right, I think when you've

528
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: had a previous experience, For me, I think leaving medicine.

529
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: But but you know, being diagnosus with rheumatory arthritis and

530
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: I had cancer as well. When you go through those

531
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: those health scares and you realize, wow, I'm not invulnerable

532
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: and life, life is precious, I think it it does

533
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: prepare you for these things. And and for you know,

534
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: for people who this is that first kind of shock,

535
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: you know, God, that's very fortunate. But but this is

536
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: what life is, right is We're going to have these

537
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: challenges and this is a particularly big one. But hopefully

538
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, people learn we can thrive through this and

539
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: thrive coming out of it. And it's it's a challenge

540
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: and it really I think we've all been shaken. Uh

541
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: you know, has been right, the most historic year of

542
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: my lifetime, without a doubt. Yeah, Um, okay, next question. Um,

543
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm gonna preface this with I'm not going

544
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: to ask you if you voted. I'm not going to

545
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: ask you who you voted for, um, anything political in

546
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: regards to you. Just this is the question, how will

547
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: the presidency be different? How will this presidency be different?

548
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: I I don't know. I I think one of the

549
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: things we've seen is communication has shifted. Where you realize

550
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: that the president was always almost once removed, right, we

551
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: would see them speak when they would give the State

552
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 1: of the Union, or occasionally on UM if they would

553
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: do a press conference, or or or be in the

554
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: the White House. But I think we're seeing now there

555
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: is a much more line of direct communication now with

556
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: social media and almost an expectation of to to hear

557
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: from them more immediately and more frequently. So I think

558
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: for the presidency, I we'll see, we'll see more communication

559
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: UM and I I think that's it's it's I don't know.

560
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: I I think it's I who could have predicted what's

561
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: going on in the past, in the past year. So

562
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the future holds,

563
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: but I think we're I think we've seen people more

564
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: involved with politics, and I am hoping that people will

565
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: also get out of the tribalism of politics and get

566
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: more into the the you know, when life is at

567
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: its best. We don't you don't think of politics because

568
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: everything is going well and obviously we haven't had that

569
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: luxury of late. But I'm hoping that we, you know,

570
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: we as a country can start to move out of

571
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 1: and go back to two. I think, I think just rediscovering,

572
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: rediscovering our passion and our connection and and and you

573
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: know unity is a country. Yeah, I um so. I

574
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: did a post yesterday on my social media about um

575
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: or two days ago, think about hope for the future. UM.

576
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: I am a Canadian. I have my U S Green card,

577
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: but I'm not a US citizen. I cannot vote. I

578
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: do not have voting rights. I am not and I

579
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: am not and do not identify with a Democratic party

580
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: or a Republican party. UM. I can only bear witness

581
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: to what goes on in this nation that I've lived

582
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: in now over half my life. I've lived in the

583
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: US nineteen years. I've lived in Canada for eighteen years,

584
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: so I've spent more time in the US. But I

585
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: do not have voting rights. And I did a post

586
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 1: about leadership, about the change in leadership, um, but merely

587
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: about leadership and how my my hope for leadership. Any leader,

588
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: whether it's of a nation, a company, a team, a family,

589
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: that their number one priority. My my belief is that

590
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: a leader's number one priority is to unite people under

591
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: a common goal. You have very different people. You have

592
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: a group, your your people, or the tribe that you lead,

593
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: whether it's a nation, whether it's company, a team, family,

594
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. Community. You have very different people

595
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: in a very diverse group of people, and your job

596
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: as the leader is to unite all of those people

597
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: under a common goal and a common goal of and

598
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: I voiced on a common goal of unity and of love.

599
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: And that's what I hoped for for this leadership. UM.

600
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: That being said, I did not choose them. This is

601
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: not my elective president. I hope to one day be

602
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: able to vote. But that's just what I hope for

603
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: from this president. UM. Also, I hope UM that we

604
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: get back to a total state of transparency. I think

605
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: transparency would be wonderful, UM, just to receive that, to

606
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: to know where we are and COVID testing, like when

607
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: when are we looking at like like we could? I

608
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: think humans can take bad news as well as they

609
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: can take good news. We can take both as long

610
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: as it's honest I've received so much bad news in

611
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: my life, but when it's delivered honestly, I'm okay. I'm like, okay,

612
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: thank you for being honest. It's good to know. So

613
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: whether it's like if they could tell us, like, hey,

614
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: we're probably not going to have a vaccine until June,

615
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: like that's that's just being transparent. That's what it looks

616
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: like right now, best case scenarigent. Okay, Like that's tough news,

617
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: but at least like we know. Um so I hope

618
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 1: for some transparency as well with the new leadership. It's

619
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: funny I think as you were talking about sports and leadership,

620
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: I was just having a conversation with my mind of

621
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: lifelong friends. We were just talking about coaches and you know,

622
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: having to me my high school coaches just in terms

623
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: of molding you as a person. And and but I

624
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: always say the lessons of sport, of the lessons of life,

625
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: how to lose, how to handle bad news, how to

626
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: be how to have feedback, how to work with teammates,

627
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: how to give yourself up for the greater good of

628
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: the whole. And and I just we were just talking

629
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: about how, you know, the old school Bill Belichick or uh,

630
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: Nick Saban, these kind of these old school real dictator types.

631
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: It seems to be kind of going the way now

632
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: of more people who are, you know, Pete Carroll or

633
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: Dable Sweeney. You seem to be a little more I'm

634
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: going to motivate you, I am going to try to

635
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: unite you. And I think that's kind of what I

636
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: think in politics, we're seeing some of that. I think

637
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: politics is a very challenging field where unfortunately it does

638
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: often become very us versus them. And I think the

639
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: reality is when you walk around the streets, you see

640
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: it is we. It's we the people right when, and

641
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: so often on social media, we we we get more

642
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: focused on those those differences instead of the great uh

643
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: commonalities that we have. Yeah, And I think one thing

644
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: that I'm seeing right now, and I actually challenged my

645
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: my community yesterday with this, I'm seeing a lot of

646
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: confirmation bias going on. So people that voted for Biden

647
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: are only talking to people that voted for Biden, and

648
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: Trump supporters are only like talking to Trump support There's

649
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: no like, hey, I understand your president your choice didn't

650
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: get elected, like how are you feeling, or like there's

651
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: there's none of that going on. It's like it's like

652
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: uh red and the Blue team. It's like we're completely separated.

653
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: And I encourage people to have conversations with people who

654
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: don't think, look dressed, vote or act like them. You

655
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: know what books I think it is going on, it's

656
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: just not happening on social media. And unfortunately, so often

657
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: if we're on social media, you only see the yelling,

658
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: and you often see people I think where it is

659
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: very much an echo chamber even and how you follow

660
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: you may obviously, you know, kind of crop out opposing views.

661
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: But when I was out, you know, when I when

662
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm out and I hear people from both sides talking,

663
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: and and I I think it does happen. It's it's

664
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: I I really when when so often, particularly because of

665
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: the pandemic, we're often living virtually or living on our phones,

666
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: are living through social media, I think we really see

667
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: the divide so amplified. And when you get out into

668
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: public um by and large, when you're out, if you're

669
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: out at the food court or wherever shopping, you know,

670
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: you really see people getting along and people do avoid

671
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: the political discussions, probably particularly this strangers. But I know,

672
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: like this weekend we were all you know, friends, and

673
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: we were all talking. There were lots of different views

674
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: going on, and we did add that your history. I

675
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: hope it's going on more. Um. I I think social media,

676
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, that's something I really think that it's a

677
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: place where I've actually pulled back a lot from social

678
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: media just in terms of the time that I'm on there,

679
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: because I did find so often, um, even before the politics,

680
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: I found there was there's just so often negativity is

681
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: very cheap on social media. It's very easy and there's

682
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: no real costs because it's not face to face, and

683
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: I just found sometimes it can be a very draining

684
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: place that I don't always feel is really representative of

685
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: how we are as people. I hope it's not. Um.

686
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: So sometimes I think when when you when you put

687
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: down the phone and go out and interact with with people,

688
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: I think I find I'm a lot more optimistic. Yeah,

689
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: and what's interesting there. We're gonna move on to the

690
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: next question shortly, but um, you can interact with somebody

691
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: just at a market or wherever and have a great

692
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: interaction with them, and then you could find out that

693
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: they're actually they actually voted the different different way than

694
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: you voted and you're like, oh, interesting. Yeah, but but

695
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: because you met them as a human first and didn't

696
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,959
Speaker 1: identify them with the political party, you have a connection.

697
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, that's actually okay that you voted opposite

698
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: of what I voted. Yes, anyway, we're gonna leave that one.

699
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: We go on for days on that one. Okay, next question, um,

700
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: this one is this one is really interesting. This is

701
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: a complete pivot. There's two part questions. Okay, why are

702
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: guys worse during COVID and who will my next significant

703
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: other be? Why are guys worse? Is this from a

704
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: woman or from a guy? I'm assuming this is from

705
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: a woman. What's going on? First? I don't appreciate these

706
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: generalizations here. Uh, just because for the first ten days

707
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: of the pandemic, I sat in bed ordering take out,

708
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: playing video games. I don't know. I don't know. I

709
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: haven't noticed that guys are worse during the pandemic. I

710
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: don't know on on what criteria. Maybe, Look, I think

711
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: there is certainly I know for me, when I don't

712
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: have to be on camera, I don't have to be

713
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 1: dressed up. You know, I'm wearing my devor broncos Zubaz

714
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: pants and my you know, I let things go a

715
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: little bit, and I definitely think they're there. I don't know.

716
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I will say for me, I find that

717
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: if I am left to my own devices, I do

718
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: get I like to be lazy, I like to sit around.

719
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe this is my girlfriend actually writing and

720
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: she's just really being subtle here and trying to say,

721
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: why don't you clean your act up? I think I

722
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: think there's there's I know. I know for me, one

723
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: of the things I found about myself is I'm not

724
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: a great self starter. I'm very enthusiastic about things. But

725
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: when I really I love having a challenge. I love

726
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: having a deadline. I love getting into a goal. I

727
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: love I loved having a coach. I love being a

728
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: part of the team where it's like, here's our goal,

729
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: let's go for it. When I'm left to my own devices,

730
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of wandering around, chasing butterflies and looking

731
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: at bubbles. So I don't know, I don't know if

732
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: that's it where I've I've always been uh challenge based

733
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: or task based, and even my career now, it's like

734
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: when we're doing Ninja Warrior or whether I'm doing live

735
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: rescue or doing my podcast, my game show podcast. It's

736
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: like I can focus on that and then the other

737
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: time is me nol Yeah it is. I can say

738
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm selfish. You're right, men are selfish? What can I say? Um? Yeah?

739
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 1: What was the second part? So? Where will my next

740
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: who will my next significant other be? What do we

741
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: what do we car that? Fortune tellers? You know it's

742
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: going to be the best friend that you've never looked

743
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: at that way, But maybe you will learn the pandemic

744
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: about that. That's a little rom calm twist. So you're

745
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: you're you're encouraging our community that if they like they

746
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: can't see something like I have no hope of a

747
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: romantic partner to maybe think of like the person that

748
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: they really get along with them, maybe they've overlooked. I

749
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: will say very often, I think we have an ideal,

750
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: right that we look for. And I think when you

751
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: start to say, hey, what, why don't I look for

752
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: who makes me happy? Instead of saying what I think

753
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: I want? I think, Look, I've never been married, I'm

754
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: closing in on fifty. I'm not the right person to

755
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: give relationship advice. Um, but I think there is something

756
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 1: to saying, Hey, I want to look for someone kind

757
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: of with shared values and someone who makes me happy.

758
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: I love. That is wonderful. Um. Next question, do men

759
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of on the same things. Do men have

760
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: a larger pool of women to date from now that

761
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: now than before? Is it easier for men to date

762
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: now than before in a man's perspective, Um, so I'm

763
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 1: dating someone, So I would say, I think with COVID

764
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: is particularly hard, just because you don't have any random interactions.

765
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: Right You're not in the workplace, you're not out at stores,

766
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: you're not you know, your masks are on, You're not

767
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: running into people. So it's either I'm on a dating

768
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: site or it's someone I'm pursuing intentionally. So I think.

769
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: I think for anybody, the pool is probably slim, I think.

770
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: And even then it's hard to say what are you

771
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,959
Speaker 1: comfortable with? Like do you want to go on a date?

772
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 1: But you know the six ft apart as we walk

773
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: outside with the de humor air purifier in between us.

774
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: So I think for everyone right now, relationships are tough. Um.

775
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: I think this is a particularly tough time to be dating.

776
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: And because you know it's it's hard to be casual right,

777
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: anything you do anytime you go out now it has

778
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: to be intentional in the mask and kind of being

779
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: sensible about it. So just the idea of, hey, we'll

780
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: go for a coffee at Starbucks where you know, we

781
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: we figure it out. So I think, I think women

782
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: it sounds like she may be frustrated with the dating prospects.

783
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: I think my buddies are, you know, and some of

784
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: them they're all on dating sites though, the ones who

785
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: are dating right now, and that's how they're meeting people. Um,

786
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: I wonder if some of this is baked into that

787
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: that when the world was open pre COVID, the world

788
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: was open, there was somewhat of a There was some

789
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: like what of a standard for guys to like take

790
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: a woman out on a date, right, Like to go

791
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 1: on a date, let me pick you up, Let's go

792
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: to a restaurant, whatever it is, concert, let's go on

793
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: a date. Now that kind of standard is kind of

794
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: not so much there, and so so men might have

795
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: got really lazy and you could plan a picnic, or

796
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: you could plan a hike or like some other kind

797
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: of date. But they turn on your Netflix, I'll turn

798
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: on mine and FaceTime it's yeah, So maybe men have

799
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: just gotten lazy and they're like, I don't need to date.

800
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: I don't need to take you on dates, but I

801
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: want everything that comes from that too, And I don't

802
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: know I have I have friends. That's the last question

803
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: we just asked. Is they're a bigger dating pool for

804
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: women or for men than there are for women. I

805
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: have a friend who says, I have actually two friends

806
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: that say dating in l A and their girls dating

807
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: in l A is awful. There's no man, there's no man.

808
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: And they're like, there's so many girls but there's no man.

809
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: They feel like there's so much competition, but they feel

810
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: like there's no man. And I'm like, we live in

811
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: a city where there's nineteen million people. My hometown is

812
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: six hundred people. My grad class had nine boys and

813
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: seven girls. If you think dating in l A is hard,

814
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: you have no idea what hard dating is. So I'm like,

815
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: I don't get it. There's dating possible for me. There's

816
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: dating possibilities all around, but they don't see it as such.

817
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: But do women do women tend to see that like

818
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: there's a lot of women and only a few men. Well,

819
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: I think if you're single. If you're single, of course

820
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: you feel like there's not enough pool, right because otherwise

821
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: you'd be you'd be with somebody, and you you see,

822
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: I I think, you know, she probably has all her

823
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: friends who are single too, and so they they're all

824
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: they're not realizing guys are in the same boat. I think.

825
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: I think there are plenty of people out there. It's

826
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: hard to meet the right one, and I think often

827
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: we look for the wrong things. And you know, are

828
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: you trying to meet somebody at the bar where you're like,

829
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: is this really the place you want to meet someone

830
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: you want to take home to your parents when you're

831
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: both doing to well? Not now? But so I think

832
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: there's you know, you you you what are you looking for?

833
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: You know? Are you are you looking for a hook up?

834
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: Are you looking for someone who's hot to day? Or

835
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: you're looking for someone who I really want to build

836
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: a future with, because I think all three of those

837
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: put you in a very different mindset of of you know,

838
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: how you're approaching what you're looking for. Mhm, Okay, let's

839
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: let's kind of stay along the science particular, how do

840
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 1: or what do I get my significant other for Christmas?

841
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: So Matt you're a man. Let's let's from a male's perspective.

842
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: What is something that you're you want to experience. I

843
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: want to experience, especially right now where you know, things

844
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: or whatever it's it's you know, a sweater or a

845
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 1: golf clubs whatever. I just would and play Pebble Beach

846
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: with with three of my college roommates and you know,

847
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: we we we've been planning a massive birthday part we

848
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 1: couldn't so it's just we four of us went and

849
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: we did this, and the whole day I just kept saying,

850
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: this is the greatest day. This is the greatest day.

851
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: I'm so happy to be with my friends. I just

852
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: had we you know, we ended up having drinks outside

853
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: at the end. I was just like, this was so happy.

854
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, particularly during this year when

855
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: we've all been locked down, when we haven't been traveling,

856
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: and you know, one of the things I was gonna

857
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: say that that I think all of us have been

858
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: missing is face to face interactions. Because this is great.

859
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: I can see you, but it's not the same as

860
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: being in person, and the idea of if you could

861
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: do a trade, just even in escape, even if it's

862
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: just driving, you know, twenty minutes outside of town and

863
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: and and getting a hotel or an airbnb or something,

864
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: but an experience where you say, hey, we are going

865
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: to kind of create, you know, a carve out a

866
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: little bit of normalcy, or carve out of time to

867
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: make a memory. Because I think we, you know, in

868
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: this past year, we've seen material things are are not

869
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: what motivate us. You know, you're you're sitting in your

870
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: big house, but if you don't have your friends and family,

871
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: everything feels a little empty. So I think trying to

872
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: trying to get someone you know, some experience, or trying

873
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: to get them some special some special day, even if

874
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: it is like you were saying, just a picnic where

875
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 1: you drive an hour out, you just make it where

876
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: it's I just wanna, I really want to shift shift

877
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: your setting being you know, where we're out of the house,

878
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: where we've all spent way too much time, and just

879
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: get get me out, give me someplace and and hopefully

880
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, try to have a couple of people there,

881
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: friends or family, whatever you feel safe with, and just

882
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: connect with people, because I feel like that's what all

883
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: of us are craving right now. Yes, I love that answer.

884
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure how I was going to answer that. Um,

885
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna piggyback yours. Um. One thing I've been

886
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: focusing a lot on in my life is surprises. I'm

887
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: trying to do a lot of surprises for people. UM.

888
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: And what I think would be a great I'm gonna

889
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: go with you, like, as a man, what would I

890
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: want to receive for Christmas? Um? And I want what

891
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: is yours? What is the one thing you want? It

892
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: would an experience? Is it? And one thing I think

893
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: we're all missing of a lot of in our lives

894
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: is laughter. So if you if here's here's like I'm

895
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna gift wrap with a gift for people

896
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: to give to your significant other. Uh. Book and Airbnb,

897
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, an hour or two out of town.

898
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: Like you said, let's change our environment setting talk to

899
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: my three best friends or the three couples that we

900
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: love the most or something. Say hey, I got this

901
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: Airbnb booked. It's a surprise for Brooks. It's gonna be

902
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: these three days. Everybody get a COVID test three days

903
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: before and then isolate and then we're gonna show up

904
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: here and we're gonna have three days together with all

905
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: eight of us, and we're gonna laugh and play and

906
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: just be together in a safe place and just laugh, laugh, laugh.

907
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: The two words, the two words on my mind are

908
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: just laughter and love. And that's I think we've been

909
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: missing a lot of the laughter. And so at this time,

910
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: like you said, a material thing, like, what's this gonna do? Whatever,

911
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: it's a material thing. But what's gonna feed my soul? Oh?

912
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: Some laughter with my closest friends. So planning some sort

913
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: of surprise like that where we go somewhere and my

914
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: favorite people in the world are there. Oh, that's a

915
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: that's a hell of a gift. Okay, well we we

00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 1: There is Okay, we're gonna get some very good gifts

918
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: courtesy of Brooks and Ice. Okay, here can go. Now

919
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: here's a Oh man, this one's gonna hurt. We're gonna

920
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: flip into one eighty. We're in such a we're in

921
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: such a good mood. Why do I got to do

922
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: this to us? How do I stay smart about finances

923
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: during COVID? Wow? Um, you know the reality is, I

924
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: mean we all curbed our spending a Ton, but we

925
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: also likely current curbed our our earnings. I I think

926
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: it's it's it's, uh, you know, this is this really

927
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: is another time where you reevaluate what's important to you

928
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: and looking at you know, the the gym membership or

929
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: those nights you know, the big nights out, or you know,

930
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 1: the getting the biggest car possible, whatever it is. I

931
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: think it's kind of making those choices about all right,

932
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: what are those things that really fuel you, really really

933
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: bring you the happiness and putting your money there, um

934
00:45:55,280 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: and and uh, I think you know this, this is

935
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: this is the black Swan event, right. I'm hopeful that

936
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: the economy is going to come back, that jobs will

937
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: come back, that people are gonna start to be able

938
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: to feel more comfortable about their earning prospects, and you know,

939
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: feel a little more comfortable than that they'll have some

940
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: wiggle room. But but I think it's it's, uh, you know,

941
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 1: we we all are probably you know, I've been on

942
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: Amazon and bought some things that I really didn't need

943
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 1: because I was just sitting at home and going, all right,

944
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: and you start to go, all right, where where do

945
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,080
Speaker 1: I want to if if if I've got you know,

946
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: a hundred bucks, What do I want to do? You

947
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 1: know what am I gonna do with that? Is it

948
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: going to be I will really want to get some

949
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: nice food or maybe cook some meals. I I think

950
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: it's you know, I don't I'm not the finance guru,

951
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: but I think it's it's starting to say where do

952
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,880
Speaker 1: you get the most return for your money? Um and

953
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: and and bring you that joy and and cutting out

954
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 1: those things that before you know you didn't have to

955
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: make those hard decisions, but saying you know, I know

956
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: a lot of people are cutting out you know, TV

957
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: and cable and got don't cut out A and E

958
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: or N d C because I need to keep a job.

959
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: But I think starting to say, uh, you know, I

960
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: can cooking more meals. And I think foods. Foods a

961
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: big one where you know, as soon as you start cooking,

962
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: boy you start and the other thing you eat so

963
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: much better when you cook, Oh my god, a lot healthier.

964
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think it's just try to

965
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: say I'm spending money where it gives me the maximum happiness. Yeah,

966
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: And I would The first place I would encourage people

967
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: to look at, too, is how many subscriptions do you have, Um,

968
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 1: people subscribe to Netflix, who lose Amazon Prime, Apple TV,

969
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: Disney Plus like whatever? And then how many musical on Spotify,

970
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: fit Radio? Like? How many subscriptions? How many times? Is

971
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: there just an automatic debit coming out of your bank account? Um?

972
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: That adds up. Then you can look at like you said,

973
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: look at things like look at what is necessary for you?

974
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: Do you have to have the upgraded cable package? Do

975
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: you even need to have cable if you have all

976
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: of those subscription packages? Um? One thing too is do

977
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: you need to have to be a is if you're

978
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: if you're a double like if you're a husband wife,

979
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: for if you're a two person home, do you have

980
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: to have two vehicles at this time? Could you sell

981
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: one because hey, we're not both driving to work, we

982
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: work from home during this time. Um, if we need

983
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: to pull back, could we sell a vehicle? We save

984
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: on insurance, we save on gas, maintenance, the car payment, Like,

985
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: there's a way to it s some money? Um. And

986
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: then like we probably don't need to spend a lot

987
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: of money on dress clothes or new clothes right now.

988
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: You probably can just like flying with what you got there.

989
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: I think there's ways. I think There really are ways,

990
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: when we actually really look at it where our money

991
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 1: is going, that these aren't necessities. A lot of these

992
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: are excess and abundance of your life. They really aren't necessities.

993
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: Like you said, good food, Yeah, spend money on on

994
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: good food so that you have good energy, so you're

995
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 1: eating clean yourself. Yeah, that's where you know. The other

996
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: thing I'm seeing is a lot of people are reevaluating

997
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: where they live. Yes, particularly cities like New York in

998
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: l A, where you know, you're your monthly nut is

999
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: is not small and people, as as we're seeing, work

1000
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: is so much more portable than I think anybody envisioned

1001
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: for a lot for a lot of careers. People are saying,

1002
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: do I need to live in you know, in the city,

1003
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,439
Speaker 1: or could I be out in the suburbs, or could

1004
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: I be in a different state, or could I be

1005
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: closer to family and other places? And I think, you know,

1006
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: that's been a big change. I've seen a lot of

1007
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: people considering are actually making is relocating to places where hey,

1008
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: my you know, I'm cutting it by you know, a third,

1009
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm cutting a third and I'm really you know, frees

1010
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 1: up a lot of financial gives them a lot of

1011
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,799
Speaker 1: financial mobility. Yeah, um, okay, you touched on this. Next question,

1012
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: you touched on this, Um, how do I find the

1013
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: motivation to cook during quarantine? So? How do I stay

1014
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: away from that? Postmates? How? This has been my biggest struggle.

1015
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 1: I actually so I've never cooked. I you know, grilla

1016
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: steak every now and again. But I I took um,

1017
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: there's a master class if you've ever seen it online

1018
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: with Gordon Ramsey's cooking, and it was absolutely riveting. And

1019
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: I started cooking and was cooking breakfast every day and

1020
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: cooking most meals. And then I started getting back to

1021
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: work and I've I've fallen off of it. So I'm

1022
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 1: not the best one to ask, but I will say

1023
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 1: when I was doing it, it was a lot cheaper,

1024
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: I was eating a lot better. I felt better. Um,

1025
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,959
Speaker 1: I'm I live alone, my girlfriend comes over. Sometimes cooking

1026
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: for myself has been a real challenge. I think, Um,

1027
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, finding the things I found that helped me,

1028
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: we're making sure. I tried to have the supplies that

1029
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: I needed for a few days, so I had a

1030
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: couple of meals planned out and you know, I kept

1031
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,919
Speaker 1: it basically simple. Um. And then sometimes what I would

1032
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 1: try to do is is do you know, cook a

1033
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 1: couple of pieces of meat and then just be able

1034
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: to throw them on the pan for a few minutes

1035
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: instead of given the you know, twenty minute love and treatment.

1036
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: So I I think trying to any any planning you

1037
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: can do, which I'm lous yet, but if you can

1038
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: plan a little bit, I think that really helps You're cooking. Yeah, Um,

1039
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: one thing that helps me if I cook for myself,

1040
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: I just like throw something together and eat it. I

1041
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: just want something extremely clean and healthy, but it probably

1042
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: doesn't taste that good. I just cook for performance basically.

1043
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: But one thing that helps me is if I have

1044
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: a friend come over. Now it's like an experience versus

1045
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: just like just cooking for myself. Um. So I'm sure

1046
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: we all have like that, really close friends. Somebody we

1047
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: know is social distancing, somebody that we probably still see

1048
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: that if they have COVID, we have COVID because it's

1049
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: just our lives are that intertwined. I have friends where

1050
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: I would see them every day or two. Um, and

1051
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: our big thing was having suffer together. That was our

1052
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: like we were all socially distancing and that was our pact.

1053
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: Like hey, we're gonna social distance anytime public it's masks everywhere,

1054
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: And because we still want to be able to see

1055
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: each other during this time, we don't want to have

1056
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: to not be able to see each other. So that

1057
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: level of dedication to it from each other allowed us

1058
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 1: to see each other and have supper together almost every night.

1059
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: And then cooking was such a better experience. I was

1060
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: with people I love, We put love into the food.

1061
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: We tried new foods, we tried new recipes. We have

1062
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: probably more time on our hands. Nobody's compute commuting to

1063
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: and from work. Like you might have a little bit

1064
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: more time in hance parents maybe not. You probably have

1065
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: kids to look after and teach. But that's a tough one.

1066
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: But look up. So I want to get better at cooking.

1067
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: I actually would love to take a cooking class. Okay,

1068
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: So here was my other tip that that would apply

1069
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: probably to you, but for most people maybe not. But

1070
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: the thing I found that really helped me with my

1071
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: cooking was I was doing I did Instagram live. I

1072
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: was doing it every morning, looking breakfast and the accountability

1073
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: of going, hey, I'm gonna be there at eight thirty

1074
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: in the morning, but having an audience I was like,

1075
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the chef now because an audience. So

1076
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: that was something that that helped me cook and really

1077
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,399
Speaker 1: you know, continue to find new recipes in new ways

1078
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 1: to make breakfast and so that was that was really

1079
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: fun and hopefully it has worked well. I hopefully it

1080
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 1: worked on slow down. But I'll get get back into

1081
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: that because that was really I did Mornings with Matt

1082
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: and I just I just loved it. I love it.

1083
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 1: I loved cooking in the morning with with and just

00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,320
Speaker 1: having like a couple of people chiming in. That's a

1085
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 1: great It's actually a great thing, right, make it a thing.

1086
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: Make it, make it a thing. I actually have an

Speaker 1: because I supposed to say pancakes. I love making pancakes.

1090
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a breakfast with Brooks Instagram Live. I'm

1091
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna bring you on it. Have you raped my Kodiak cakes? Uh? Right,

1092
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: and make just this stunning breakfast. But like, make it

1093
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: a thing. If I just do something, if I'm just

1094
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: like I should cook, it's not that fun. But if

1095
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to make this a thing, whether

1096
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 1: it's an Instagram live or you want to start your

1097
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: own little cooking sequence on Instagram or whatever it is,

1098
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: make it a thing by yourself. I bought myself, dude,

1099
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: I bought myself a beautiful, like the most expensive spatula

1100
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: from work, just for my pancakes. It's okay, nobody gonna that, boy,

1101
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: Nobody can touch my spatula. My spatula cannot be used

1102
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: for anything else other than pancakes. What's this? What kind

1103
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: is it? Williamson? What is it? I don't Oh, it's

00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: us folks he's had his spatul the game, dude, you

1106
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: gotta you just you'll have to turn into Breakfast with

1107
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: Brooks and check out the spect Okay, let's go where

1108
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: I know where we've been on here, like fifty five

1109
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: minutes we got Let's find one more. Here's a great one, right, Um?

1110
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: How do I get in shape and lose weight during COVID? Oh? Wow?

1111
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: So this is something again that I struggled with. Where

1112
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: when I was eating Postmates and playing video games, I

1113
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: gained about fifteen pounds and you know what I did.

1114
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: I I downloaded the Peloton app because they made it

1115
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: free for like three months. And what I loved about

1116
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: it again is I said, I'm not a great self starter,

1117
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: and I struggled working out on my own. I would quit,

1118
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 1: but this app is fantastic because it had classes where

1119
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: they were talking to most most of them you could

1120
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: do them live, but they were prerecorded, but it still

1121
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 1: felt like your in a class, You're gonna complete it,

1122
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: and you could do some of the work. Guts were

1123
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: short as five minutes. Most of them I would do

1124
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: would be thirty minutes, but once I started, I would

1125
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: finish everyone. And then it also gamifies it where it

1126
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: keeps track of them. So finding I think Peloton just

1127
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:18,439
Speaker 1: the classes are spectacular, They're well done, the qualities great,

1128
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: the music is great, and I think it's like twelve

1129
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: bucks a month now, but I'm sure there are some

1130
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: that are even cheaper. But I think that is a

1131
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 1: fantastic thing. And you could literally most of the stuff

1132
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: could be body weight or maybe a couple of dumbbells

1133
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: or resistance fans. I was doing it in my bedroom,

1134
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 1: So I think having an app or having something where

1135
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: I gave you that sense of you could select classes

1136
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: ahead of time to kind of hold yourself accountable. It's like, hey,

1137
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm scheduling this eight am class, so I know I

1138
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: could not do it, But I think when you make

1139
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: that commitment to yourself, you're a lot more likely to

1140
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: keep it. Um and that that it would track and

1141
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: you could see, hey, you've worked out, you know, twenty

1142
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 1: days this month. Good job. It was a good job.

1143
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: So I think finding an app or something that gives

1144
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: you some buy in, uh is really helpful. Yeah. Um.

1145
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: The first place I go with this is a lot

1146
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 1: of people their gym is closed. So our facility that

1147
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 1: we would go to is now closed, which means we

1148
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: don't have a place to work out. So I've I've

1149
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 1: always encouraged people designate a spot in your home, whether

1150
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: that's in your basement and your grad whether it's like

1151
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: a mat that you roll out or you clear the

1152
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 1: coffee table or whatever, find a spot in your home

1153
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 1: where that is your designated little fitness area. Um. And

1154
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: so that because every day if it's just if home

1155
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: just looks the same and you don't have a spot

1156
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: to go to, it's just easy to miss. You're like,

1157
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,320
Speaker 1: I want to work out, and that then the motivation

1158
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: has gone. So set up your environment where you have

1159
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: a designated spot where like this is this six ft

1160
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: by six ft area. This is where I do my

1161
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: working out, at my water bottle, my towel, my my

1162
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 1: matt here, maybe a couple of dumbells. This is where

1163
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: I do it. UM. And then the other thing UM

1164
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: that really helps is putting some sort of challenge to

1165
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: it with a friend. Right, if you bring in a friend,

1166
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: say hey, I've been I've been really struggling, Matt, I'm

1167
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: really struggling. I'm not working out. Have you been doing

1168
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: the same, Yeah, I've just been eating paintza. Like, okay,

1169
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: let's do something together, man, Like let's let's don't let's

1170
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: commit to thirty days and let's be workout buddies, accountability

1171
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: partners and UM. And then like you said, join an app. UM,

1172
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: I have a training app. UM, I have a fitness

1173
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: training app called open Gym. And I made I just

1174
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: made a code when I saw this question before the show,

1175
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,280

1191
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: bring a friend in. Bring a friend in on this

1192
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: with you, keep you accountable. I think the the the

1193
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: the added benefits of exercise. Aside from the fact that

1194
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: you'll you'll be feeling better, it also will give you

1195
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: that structure of you know, in so many times our

1196
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: days are much more fluid. But to say, hey, every

1197
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: day at eight am or nine am or whatever, at

1198
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: five pm, I'm getting that work at it and giving

1199
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 1: your days the structure. But it's also I think when

1200
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: when days are fluid and flow into each other to

1201
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: have said, ah, I did I there's a check check

1202
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: that I worked out and and you just see it

1203
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: with the endorphins. Working out is the surest way to

1204
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: to get your mental health right. Yeah, I agree. I

1205
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: I I'm my most creative, I'm my most grateful. I

1206
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: solved my problems. I like my energy gets blown out.

1207
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: Otherwise I'm just like vibrating. I don't know what to

1208
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: do with myself. Um, it's there's so many ways that

1209
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: that I sleep better. So many people are struggling with

1210
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: sleep right now. But it's not it's sleep isn't the issue.

1211
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: It's the fact that we haven't moved during the day,

1212
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: so we're not tired enough really to sleep. So like,

1213
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: there's so many Also, we make better nutritional choices when

1214
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 1: we're working out. We're less likely to eat junk food. Um,

1215
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,600
Speaker 1: there's so many added benefits, fringe benefits even that come

1216
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: from working out. So I'm a huge advocate for people

1217
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: to find a way to move. Doesn't need to be inside. Also,

1218
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: you don't need a gym. Today I went for a

1219
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: four mile run and then it did a bunch of

1220
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: lunches on a picnic bench or like a just like

1221
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: stic plan to come back. Just yeah, like just I

1222
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: love I love moving outside. Like it's just fitness. There's

1223
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: many different ways to do fitness, not just in the

1224
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 1: gym that you were going to get creative, get moving,

1225
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: get healthy. It'll show up in many, many areas of

1226
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: your life. So um, buddy, one last one, last one

1227
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: for you, I want you to just give to our

1228
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 1: community your last thoughts and just some inspiration and motivation

1229
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: for people that are really struggling, really going through a

1230
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: tough time right now. What are some positive words that

1231
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: you can share with them. Yeah, you're not alone. We're

1232
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: all struggling. We are all having tough times during this

1233
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm certainly one when I come on,

1234
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: I prefer to emphasize the positive. But this has been

1235
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: a challenge for all of us. Meet me too. And

1236
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 1: there's certainly been moments where you know, you you you

1237
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,439
Speaker 1: feel the despair and you feel kind of the weight

1238
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: of this pandemic and being locked down. But I think,

1239
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think we're seeing there's light at the

1240
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: end of the tunnel. And I think it's also been

1241
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to find the silver lining in this,

1242
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: and I think it is to me, the greatest gift

1243
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: of this has been a forced slowing down where I

1244
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: felt society but I know my life was going so

1245
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: fast I wasn't I wasn't stopping to kind of look

1246
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: up and to say, you know, what is all this for?

1247
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: Where are we going? And with it? And to to

1248
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: to start to say what is really important you know

1249
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: now and and moving forward? And I think we've all

1250
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: kind of had a chance to reflect on what we

1251
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: do for a living, where we live, who we're with,

1252
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: what makes this happy, and to look at it is

1253
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: all right, now, what are you gonna do about it?

1254
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Because you you you know, we didn't ask for it,

1255
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: but we've been given this how to mirror held up

1256
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: to how we were living our lives. And I know,

1257
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: I I think I hope we all take this time

1258
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: and come back to as we re enter the world

1259
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 1: to say, all right, I'm gonna do this a little

1260
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,439
Speaker 1: more intentionally. And I think we've got an opportunity here

1261
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: to make those choices and to really start crafting that

1262
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 1: life you want. I mean, this is this is kind

1263
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: of a reset button for everybody where you know things

1264
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: are going to be changing, and it's it's like how

1265
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: are you going to respond? And this is where you're

1266
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: gonna choose how this next phase your life goes. So

1267
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, every it's an opportunity. Let's look at this

1268
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: as an opportunity. And here is this global opportunity. We

1269
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: have to kind of come out of this hopefully stronger, happier,

1270
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: more motivated, more connected, and and to figure out how

1271
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: we do that. Mat That was wonderful. That was wonderful.

1272
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing. Um. When I look at that question,

1273
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: the first thing that comes to my mind is because

1274
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: we talk about this last week with Hanna Um speak

1275
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and listen. Um. We're not meant to go through this

1276
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: world alone. We're not. That's that's the like. We are

1277
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: not meant to be alone or to go through this

1278
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: world alone. And so many of us that are struggling

1279
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 1: are choosing to struggle alone because we're not willing to

1280
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: speak about it. Um, so speak, call, call somebody and

1281
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: open up. That's why I wanted to do this show.

1282
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: That's why part of my mission with How Men Think

1283
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: is I want to be a man that opens up

1284
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: and shares because I'm not good at that, and this,

1285
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: this show holds me accountable to do that. So, whether

1286
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: you're a man, whether you're a woman, where you're young

1287
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: or old, whatever, you're allowed to struggle. You're human. Congratulations,

1288
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: you are human. You are going to struggle, we all do.

1289
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: So have the courage to open up and to speak

1290
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: and to share that with people. You are not meant

1291
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: to go through this world alone. And then also listen

1292
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: when somebody does. Don't say oh yeah, I'm struggling to

1293
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 1: that's all like my life's m as to just listen.

1294
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Just be there for somebody that's opening up to you.

1295
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: You'll have your time to speak another time too. But um,

1296
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: connect with people. Connect, connect, connect, find ways to open up,

1297
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: find ways to share your heart, find ways to share

1298
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: things you're struggling with, find where ways to share things

1299
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: that are exciting to you, find ways to laugh and

1300
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: still make memories. Just don't stop life is what I

1301
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:19,439
Speaker 1: would advise people, or hope to give to people. Uh, well,
