Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Sure, am I doing a cameo
Speaker 1: apperiance or something? In some cases, we've recorded up to

Speaker 1: voices to help produce one forty minute story, which is
Speaker 1: to say, there's a lot left over. As I started

Speaker 1: PG Tour winner, eleven time writer Coupper, World Golf Hall
Speaker 1: of Famer, and now iconic TV analyst who will call

Speaker 1: bridges science to spirituality. Sir Nick Faldo, what a treatment.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, pace yourself out there and be safe
Speaker 1: pace you said, that's a good point. Yeah, pace yourself

Speaker 1: and find those quiet places, find those quiet places on
Speaker 1: the road. Yeah, yeah, I love those. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: and sitting. So here's my funny story. So we go
Speaker 1: up to Pontrevida last this week and we watch and
Speaker 1: so I've been watching all these great shows, great Braden
Speaker 1: and these mind guys, and and he says, the most
Speaker 1: important time of the day is when just before sun
Speaker 1: comes out. Is that, you know, the dawn at first
Speaker 1: glow before the sun breaks up, and obviously the same
Speaker 1: in the evening when sun's down, you've got that lovely
Speaker 1: after glow. So I say to Lindsey, right, come, we
Speaker 1: got on the beach six o'clock Tuesday morning. Let's get
Speaker 1: on the beach. We're gonna sit there and watch the
Speaker 1: sun come up. So, which is coming up with what happened?
Speaker 1: Six two? So I'm sitting there on the beach and
Speaker 1: we're watching the sun, and obviously we got we've got
Speaker 1: three big dogs and So this little dog comes running
Speaker 1: along the beach, comes to season because I said, oh lucky,
Speaker 1: you can smell three big puppies. And of course he
Speaker 1: goes around the back of me and he peas down
Speaker 1: the back of my shirt. So I'm sitting on the beach.
Speaker 1: He enjoined the sun rise with the warm dog in
Speaker 1: the back of my chest. So sod this tranquility a
Speaker 1: lark it zen meditation, And I just looked that way,
Speaker 1: all right. Luckily, if you've got dogs, you go, okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine. I didn't. I wasn't gonna go and see
Speaker 1: the guy. So I just said, oh, never mind, and
Speaker 1: I just sat there. Well, that's lovely, and then I
Speaker 1: went and played. Then I went to play cop and
Speaker 1: I played crap. So it doesn't work like birds droppings.
Speaker 1: You know, there's no good luck. There's no luck in
Speaker 1: a dog beeing down your back. That's my That's my
Speaker 1: parting story for the evening. More of these stories and
Speaker 1: outtakes in the coming weeks, as well as more favorite
Speaker 1: fire pits from our long list of guests who have
Speaker 1: had on the podcast. The last question I asked everybody
Speaker 1: is the podcast is called the fire Pit. Do you
Speaker 1: have a favorite fire pit, a place where you sit
Speaker 1: around and tell stories or hear stories, or a place
Speaker 1: to kind of mean something more to you. Then yeah,
Speaker 1: you've been. I've got a really great friend and Shellen
Speaker 1: Harger in Sweden and he's there right now. He's got
Speaker 1: his most they live just they've got a summer house
Speaker 1: just north of Gothenburg. It's called these islands, all the
Speaker 1: all little islands, and it's his islands called Sharon. And
Speaker 1: he's got a lovely little house, tiny too little cottage.
Speaker 1: It is very small. It's all you're allowed on the
Speaker 1: coast in the rocks. I mean rocks as big as
Speaker 1: houses and and and imagine and you go there and
Speaker 1: obviously Sweden in the summer, it's it's light all night.
Speaker 1: It goes dusk midnight and it's sun's up at three
Speaker 1: and we sit out there and it's dead. Carl and
Speaker 1: all you look at this little rocks in this little bay,
Speaker 1: and he's this fabulous guide to talk to because he's
Speaker 1: sports psychologist, business psychologists, and we have crazy ideas. So
Speaker 1: I had some. That's one of my zen spots to
Speaker 1: sit with a friend and just look out and it's
Speaker 1: super silent. That's what I enjoy as well. And it's
Speaker 1: super silent. There's but like Montana, you know, when you
Speaker 1: go out there and you just sit there and go
Speaker 1: can you hear that? You go, yeah, nothing, God No,
Speaker 1: I can't hear nothing. And I think that's really I
Speaker 1: think that's really that, you know, our lives beenness respective
Speaker 1: as we are. Um, I actually enjoy that sitting and
Speaker 1: Lindsay is good. Lindsay and I can sit together in
Speaker 1: silence or something and it's not it's not awkward. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you were with somebody if he goes silent, like
Speaker 1: why are you talking to me? You don't want to
Speaker 1: talk to that, you know, And we can sit there
Speaker 1: and enjoy just sitting quietly and it's actually really cool,
Speaker 1: very nice, nice feeling. So I like it. I like
Speaker 1: my silence in it. And a little fireplace here and there. Yeah,
