I'm a 122 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 6: huge fan of Simone Biles. I'm just saying like, this 123 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 6: was more of a thing that I had been trying 124 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 6: off and on for the better part of ten years 125 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 6: of my life and then finally made it during the 126 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 6: X Games in nineteen ninety nine. So it resonated a 127 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 6: lot and it was a big deal for me because 128 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 6: it was it was sort of the end of my 129 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 6: competition era, so it was a good out. 130 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 131 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: Seriously, I did a bunch of people mimic you after 132 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 3: or tried to. Were they able to also? 133 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeaheah. Actually within that same year, two other guys 134 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 6: did it, and nowadays, honestly, like it's not very commonplace, 135 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 6: but there is a dozen or so people that can 136 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 6: do it, and now they have managed to surpass that 137 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 6: with extra spins all the way up to a twelve sixty, 138 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 6: So now we have three and a half spins. It's 139 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 6: on a bigger ramp, so it's a different it's a 140 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 6: different setup, but it's amazing to me. 141 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is amazing. 142 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 3: So when you when you're able to perfect something like that, 143 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 3: how many more times are you able to do it? 144 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 3: After you were able to pull it off at the 145 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: X Games. 146 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 6: I could after that, I could do it pretty regularly. 147 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 6: I would say I probably did it forty to fifty 148 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 6: times after that. It's kind of like when you when 149 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 6: you know it's possible. Yeah, it's a little easier to navigate. 150 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: Uh huh. And when was the last time you were 151 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: able to pull that off? 152 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 6: I did it about five years ago, six years ago, 153 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 6: and it was so hard to do at that I 154 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 6: mean I was forty it was forty eight at the time, 155 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 6: and it was so hard to do. I was like, 156 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 6: that's definitely the last one. 157 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked what I read about you. 158 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 3: About you so skateboarding, you were kind of it was 159 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: like very hot during a certain period of time, and 160 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: then it kind of dulled a little bit. Then it 161 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: blew up again when your video game came out, and 162 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 3: that's how a lot of people were introduced back into 163 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 3: skateboarding and it became hot again. So what was tell 164 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: me about that, And you had a hand in your 165 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: video game, I'm assuming, Oh, no, I was. 166 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 6: I was very much involved. 167 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 7: Yeah. 168 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 6: I think there was a perfect storm of events happening. 169 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 6: At the time. Skating was in a lull of popularity, 170 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 6: it was still progressing, and there was still obviously very 171 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 6: passionate people doing it, but all the parks were closed. 172 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 6: It was more like a street element, street culture thing. 173 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 6: And then the X games came around in ninety five. 174 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 6: They built up some momentum for skating, and then our 175 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 6: video game was released in nineteen ninety nine. We had 176 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 6: worked on it for nearly two years up to that point, 177 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 6: and it was kind of like skateboarding was hitting Astride 178 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 6: the video game hit, and then that was the tipping point, 179 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 6: and then skating was just kind of in the mainstream. 180 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: Talk to me a little bit about recently. Didn't you 181 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: have a you broke your femur, right, I did. How 182 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: was that during skateboarding? 183 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 6: I was during skateboarding, yes, uh. 184 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: And that was more recent. That was like a year 185 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: or always. 186 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 6: That was last March. Yeah. 187 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: First of all, let's talk about mental health during an injury, 188 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: because especially when you're an athlete, I want to talk 189 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 3: about being an athlete and your mental health space transitioning 190 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: kind of out of being at the top of your game, 191 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: meaning your youth, and what that does because you have children. 192 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: I know you have children who and one of them 193 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 3: is a pro skateboarder, correct, So talk to me about 194 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: what that is like a let's start from transitioning out 195 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: of your career, because you, I mean, there is no 196 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 3: one who's more famous for skateboarding than you are. 197 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: And so what did that feel like. 198 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 6: When you say transitioning out of being at the top 199 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 6: of your game. That was a very hard and fast 200 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 6: transition for me because I felt like I was still 201 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 6: skating up to my potential at that time. And then 202 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 6: I fucked around and found out, like I, you know, 203 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 6: that was it. I was doing a trick that I 204 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 6: had done thousands of times. I didn't have enough speed 205 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 6: or I didn't have the usual amount of speed. I 206 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 6: came down on the ramp sooner than expected and just 207 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 6: couldn't adjust for it. And this thing, I know, my 208 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 6: leg is pointing the other direction. And the recovery for 209 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 6: that was very difficult. I've actually had sort of a 210 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 6: failed round of recovery because I got back on my 211 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 6: skateboard too soon, so I had to have surgery again 212 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 6: about eight months later. And ever since then, I've been 213 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 6: humbled in terms of what I expect of my skating, 214 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 6: what I expect of myself, what it means to be 215 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: a professional, what it means to be even relevant on 216 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 6: a skateboard, and I've definitely toned down all my expectations 217 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 6: since then and just happy to be skating again. So 218 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 6: mentally it was it was really difficult for me because 219 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 6: I felt like that was my identity, even though I 220 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 6: have a lot of other things that I do, and 221 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 6: I advocate for skating and public skate parks and the like, 222 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 6: but I was always wrapped up in walking the walk, 223 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 6: and when that was taken away from me for my 224 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 6: own fault, I had to wrestle with all that. And 225 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 6: I've come to a place where I'm just glad to 226 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 6: be able to do it at all and it doesn't 227 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 6: have to be at that level, but I did it 228 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 6: at that level for so long that it was it 229 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 6: was very difficult to let go of. 230 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, I find it fascinating with athletes, you know, when 231 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 3: they retire, when they have to kind of transition out 232 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 3: of their sport because of age and because of their 233 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 3: body just isn't willing to cooperate anymore. What that must 234 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 3: what that must mean for them, Because I know how 235 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 3: much irrelevancy I get from work, you know, and if 236 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: someone said, oh you can't you know, you're not allowed to. 237 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: Talk anymore, or what, I don't know how I would 238 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: compute that. 239 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: Now, is that something you dealt with, like on your 240 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: own did you deal with did you have to go 241 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: to therapy for this? 242 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 6: I do see a therapists regularly, and he definitely helped 243 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 6: with giving me that perspective. My wife was really the 244 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 6: one who was the most helpful, because she's the one 245 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 6: who gives it to me straight and is like, look, 246 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 6: you represent more than just riding your skateboard, and you 247 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 6: should embrace that more and be thankful for that and 248 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 6: lean into it. And she's right. And so when I go, like, 249 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 6: for instance, if I go to do a skate exhibition, 250 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 6: now I am not so hyper fixated on my own performance. 251 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 6: I'm just soaked to be in the mix. Yeah, and 252 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 6: I'm happy that people want to see me even so, 253 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 6: I've lowered my expectation and it's more enjoyable that way. 254 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 6: I think that's what it is. I was always so 255 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 6: driven and so motivated to do the absolute best I 256 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 6: could possibly do that I lost sight of just the 257 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 6: enjoyment of the act of it and the scenarios where 258 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 6: I get to be like I get to travel the 259 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 6: world and ride my skateboard and people pay me to 260 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 6: do that that's just wild. I'm fifty five. 261 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: I know it's crazy. 262 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 3: It's crazy that you're still skateboarding at fifty five years old. 263 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 3: I mean, hopefully that's a new norm that people will, 264 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: you know, be able to. 265 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 6: I'm the guinea pig for how far you can try everybody. 266 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 3: But I think what you're describing is missing gratitude for 267 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: what you're doing in the. 268 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: First place, right, Yes, absolutely. 269 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 3: In place of the competitive spirit become you become like 270 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: a little bit more spiritually awake and aligned and realize 271 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 3: how grateful you should be to be here in the 272 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: first place, with everything you've accomplished, right, and then you're 273 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 3: able to kind of show up in a different way. 274 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, and take it in more, you know, because 275 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 6: it's more just swallowing your pride and realizing, look, you're 276 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 6: not gonna you're not going to be killing it, you're 277 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 6: not the best out there, and have fun. And I'm 278 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 6: learning to have a lot more fun. 279 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: And so how are you with your son that is 280 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 3: a pro skateboarder, Like, how do you guide him? 281 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: Shall I say? 282 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 3: And instill in him some of the things that maybe 283 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: you wished you had known or learned at that time. 284 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 6: I think I just help him to navigate the business 285 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 6: aspects of it more. He really has his own flare, 286 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 6: his own style, and he's very creative and he's always 287 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 6: motivated to do new things. So that I feel like 288 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 6: is something that was just more inherent to him. But 289 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 6: in terms of making good business moves and what will 290 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 6: resonate more, what will have more long term effect for him, 291 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 6: are the things that he needs help with. And but 292 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 6: I trust his sensibilities and so I think he just 293 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 6: sees me as sort of Okay, that's one way to 294 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 6: do it, and I can grab parts from that. It's 295 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 6: a little bit more challenging for him because he's not 296 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 6: on social media anymore because that was really messing with 297 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 6: his mental health. And he is engaged to Francis Bean Cobaine, 298 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 6: so that there was a lot of scrutiny for them, 299 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 6: and so they both bounced from social media just for 300 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 6: their own their own health. 301 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 3: Oh cheez, I can only imagine, Oh my god, And 302 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: are they still engaged? 303 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 6: Do you get married? 304 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: Oh oh fantastic, Great, that's a success. 305 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 3: Then get away from social media if you want to 306 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 3: salvage your relationship, I mean, and many other things. So 307 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 3: since this is kind of like sort of a sensitive 308 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 3: it's not a sensitive podcast, but you know, we try 309 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 3: and talk about meaningful things. I would love to hear 310 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 3: from you about yourself, Like, what are the things that 311 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 3: you've learned about yourself since you've had to discover this 312 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 3: kind of different style of life where it was skateboarding 313 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: isn't necessarily at the center all the time. 314 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: What are the things that you like that you've learned 315 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: about yourself. 316 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 6: I think that I'm good at more domestic routines better 317 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 6: than I thought I was, and a good parent in 318 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 6: terms of being available, being supportive, always being ready to 319 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 6: drive wherever and whenever, and so I think those things 320 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 6: I knew I was good at them, but they were 321 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 6: but I was always just home for a couple of 322 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 6: days and doing these things and then off on tour 323 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 6: and whatnot. So it was hard to keep that balance. 324 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 6: And I think that I have a much healthier sense 325 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 6: of that balance. And I know that my kids can 326 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 6: turn to me and I will be available to them 327 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 6: at any given time. 328 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard a lot of really famous men talk 329 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 3: about this. I heard something Bruce Springsteen said, and then 330 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: there was another. 331 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: Maybe it was Dave Grohl. 332 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: There and then there was another man who's talking about 333 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: they were only really tested to do the domestic aspects 334 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 3: of their life or participate in the domestic aspects of 335 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 3: their life. 336 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: When their wife was like, listen, you're going to miss 337 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: all of this. 338 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: Either participate in this, be up in the mornings that's 339 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 3: when they're at their best, or you've got to be 340 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: doing the school runs. You've got to be with them 341 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: when it's not the thing to be with them, like 342 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: when it's not an event in the real life moments. 343 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: And the benefit that that. 344 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: Seems to have on men is just it's really a 345 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 3: beautiful thing. 346 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so. I think that I was doing 347 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 6: those things, but I was doing them in pockets and 348 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 6: not in a truly long assistance since, like I said, 349 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 6: because I was a home here and there and then 350 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 6: then not. But then now I have made a much 351 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 6: more concerted effort to be home for long stretches at 352 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 6: a time. So there is that consistency, and it's it's great, 353 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 6: you know. It's it's exhausting, just like anything any parenting 354 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 6: would be. And I feel for the moms that are 355 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 6: doing it alone. But it's it's it's rewarding, it's the 356 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 6: most rewarding thing. 357 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: I believe you. 358 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 3: I believe when people say it's rewarding, I can see 359 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 3: that it's rewarding. It just seems unfathobble to someone like 360 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: me who has zero children, that any person or two 361 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: people even could raise four children. It seems crazy, like 362 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 3: I just don't even understand how. And I'm from a 363 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 3: family of six children. But we were kind of left, 364 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: you know, to do whatever the hell we felt like it. 365 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 3: But we still survived and we're all working and living. 366 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: So it's pretty amazing when you think about bringing that 367 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 3: many people into the world and then just kind of 368 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: ushering them through life. 369 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 6: Right, it is, but you get better at it. So unfortunately, 370 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 6: your first one or two kids, you know, they're sort 371 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 6: of the tests for how it's going to go, right, 372 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 6: but everyone knows that that's how it goes, and you know, 373 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 6: sometimes they become the caretakers of sorts. But I agree 374 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 6: with you. We actually my wife in between us, we 375 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 6: have six oh and so there were years where it 376 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 6: was like four kids in school mode but going to 377 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 6: different schools, and that got very challenging, but you figure 378 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 6: it out. It's hard when you see it from a 379 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 6: different perspective, and the most rewarding thing is when you 380 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 6: see them make good choices. It sounds cliche, but it is. 381 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 6: It's true, Like you see that you've given them at 382 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 6: least a sense of values and the tools to make 383 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 6: a good decision in a challenging time. Yeah. 384 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 3: I always am very surprised by my nieces who always 385 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 3: show extraordinary strength and like their philosophy on life. I'm like, 386 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: or they know how to make a decision. I'm like, 387 00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 3: how did you know that? I didn't know that at 388 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: that age. It's like kids, Kids are smarter from social 389 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: media and dummer from social media, but also smarter just 390 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 3: because of evolution, right, everybody keeps getting smarter. 391 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: It seems like I know that you open like nine 392 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: hundred skate parks? Is that right? 393 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 6: Through our foundation we've helped to you know, we've helped 394 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 6: to open I think over seven or eight hundred now 395 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 6: with a lot more in the works. 396 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: That's incredible in lower sociate economic neighborhoods, right. 397 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, just underserved areas. It all started with the idea 398 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 6: that it was like around two thousand and two, I 399 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 6: believe skating was really starting to explode and there were 400 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 6: very few facilities and I saw that firsthand, and I 401 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 6: ended up getting invited to a few big grand openings 402 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 6: of skate parks, and there was one in particular that 403 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 6: I went to and the city council was so excited 404 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 6: because they thought that they were cool, they thought they 405 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 6: were progressive. They made a skate park for their their community. 406 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 6: And the park was so so par because it was 407 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 6: built by a sidewalk contractor that got the lowest bid 408 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 6: to do the work, didn't know how to make a 409 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 6: skate park. And I went to the park and I 410 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 6: got to be the first one to ride it, and 411 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 6: they were all up against the fence I got. I 412 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 6: went the night before us and no one was watching 413 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 6: me except for the city council members, and they all like, 414 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 6: what do you think of the park? What do you 415 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 6: think of the park? And I said, Oh, it's terrible. It's 416 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 6: not fun, it's not functional. You've got stairs leading up 417 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 6: to a wall, like I don't understand who designed it. 418 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 6: And they said, well, you know what, that's what all 419 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 6: the kids were saying when we were building it. But 420 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 6: then we said, wait till Tony Hawk gets here and 421 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 6: I'll show you how to ride it. And in that 422 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 6: moment I thought like, this is just a bad cycle 423 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 6: that has to be turned. And I thought, if that's 424 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 6: what they're telling, you know, they're saying that I'm the 425 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 6: one that they're leaning on to ride it properly. Maybe 426 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 6: I'm the one that they that people would listen to 427 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 6: and say, look, this is not how you do it. 428 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 6: You've got to include the local skaters, You've got to 429 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 6: include the local community. You have to go with experience 430 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 6: skate park builders. And I went on who Wants to 431 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 6: Be a Millionaire with Regis within that same month and 432 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 6: one one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars and that 433 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,360 Speaker 6: was the seed money for what became the skate park project. 434 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 3: It's incredible, and yeah, that's incredible, incredible contribution. 435 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: Nice. 436 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 3: Is this something you envisioned to do at some point 437 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 3: in your life? 438 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 6: Oh? Absolutely, I mean todate, we've given away over nine 439 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 6: million dollars and I'm here advocating for it as much 440 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 6: as I can. I'm always a big part of it. 441 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 6: In fact, we just raised over seven hundred thousand dollars 442 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 6: this year with this online competition that we did through Colossal, 443 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 6: and so I'm still very much involved. 444 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 3: Something that you talk about that, I can relate to 445 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: a lot is envisioning what you want to happen happening, 446 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 3: Like when you focus on the negative, that can become bigger, 447 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 3: and when you focus on the positive, then that can 448 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 3: become your reality. 449 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: So will you speak to me a little bit about 450 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: that in terms of competition or in regular life. 451 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 6: I think my best parallel to that is how how 452 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 6: I approach learning new tricks. And my approach to learning 453 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 6: new tricks is that it is possible, and I have 454 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 6: visualized it to completion and the success of it, and 455 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 6: I don't go at it going man, I hope I 456 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 6: don't get hurt. You know, oh, I just might go wrong, 457 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 6: because if those things are in my head, those are 458 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 6: the ones that end up coming to fruition. So I'm 459 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 6: always on in the moment, even if it's like extremely 460 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 6: difficult and I'm exhausted, I'm still there, going, this is possible. 461 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 6: You got to make it happen. And sometimes it doesn't 462 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 6: happen that day, but eventually it does happen. And so 463 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 6: I have the same approach to life in terms of 464 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 6: how we raise our kids, what we wish for them, 465 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 6: We help them through our positivity and through our not expectations, 466 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 6: but hopes for them. 467 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, well your your visions of positive it's like a 468 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 3: positive like, you know, envisioning positive outcomes for everything is 469 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: a really great way to go through life, to go 470 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 3: through anything. 471 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: I mean to constantly worry, worry, worry. 472 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 3: I mean, just had this experience with a friend who 473 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 3: was so worried about the situation, so worried, so worried, 474 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 3: so worried, and I'm like, I couldn't get to her 475 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: to explain to her, like the worrying is actually making 476 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: the problem bigger than it needs to be. This is 477 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 3: an unlikely outcome, and you are focusing on the most 478 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 3: unlikely outcome rather than. 479 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 6: The most extreme scenario. 480 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, rather what the most positive outcome could be. 481 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 3: And sure enough, we just found out this weekend that 482 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,120 Speaker 3: the most positive outcome happened exactly what she had been 483 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 3: worried about happening, you know, the opposite thing happened. And 484 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 3: I know it's hard to tell people not to worry, 485 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 3: you know, because it's that's like in your it's like 486 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 3: in part of your DNA and your genetic makeup, I think, 487 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 3: but there is a practice that to be learned of 488 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 3: thinking positive lee about things, and positivity does have definitely 489 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,239 Speaker 3: breeds more positivity. There's no doubt about that that can 490 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 3: be scientifically proven at this point. Do you do any 491 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: sort of meditation or anything like that, Tony. 492 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 6: I don't. I feel like my skating has always been 493 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 6: my meditation, and I sense that more now than ever. 494 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 6: For instance, we were just traveling a bunch and going 495 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 6: to much events. I did not get to skate for 496 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 6: almost two weeks, and I felt very on edge and realized, 497 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 6: you know, I wouldn't have connected that before. I would 498 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 6: just have related it to stress or whatever, or a 499 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 6: crazy schedule. But I realized, like, I haven't skated, and 500 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 6: I went skated for a couple hours the other day, 501 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 6: and all that anxiety just washed away. And I wasn't 502 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 6: pushing it hard. I wasn't trying anything extravagant or dangerous. 503 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 6: It was just more that I got out there and 504 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 6: that was my meditation. 505 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting when you talk about, like, you know, 506 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 3: athletes and like the tremendous pressure you I'm sure experienced 507 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 3: as a younger competitor, the pressure that you put on 508 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: yourself attached to the very thing you love the most 509 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 3: to do and even at that time, being able to 510 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: imagine a time where you could enjoy it without the pressure. 511 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 6: It is, yeah, and I don't. And he used to 512 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 6: always be I needed a directive, I needed a goal, 513 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 6: like I need. I needed something to aspire to when 514 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 6: I'd go skate and I and now it's just like, 515 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 6: I just want to go out there and play the 516 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 6: hits and cruise and have fun and see my friends 517 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 6: and laugh and then go home sweaty. That's what I'm 518 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 6: aspiring to cute. 519 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: I love it. 520 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, we're going to take a quick break and 521 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 3: then we're going to be right back and we're going 522 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 3: to take. 523 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: Some calls and we're back. 524 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: We're back. Are you ready to give some advice? Tony? 525 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know. Are my kids calling in? If so, yes, 526 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 6: they are not. 527 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: We blocked them from calling. Don't worry. They wanted to, 528 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: but we said no, absolutely not. 529 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 5: Wet's start with a caller. Our first email comes from Chris. 530 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 5: Chris says, Dear Chelsea. When my kids were grown, I 531 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 5: went back to college during a nasty divorce. I started 532 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 5: taking ski lessons through the school to deal with the stress, 533 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 5: and I loved it. There was something about writing to 534 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 5: the top and feeling the freedom of looking down the 535 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 5: mountain or the bunny slope in the beginning, and I 536 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 5: felt great every time I made it to the bottom. 537 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: As I started to get better, the man. 538 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 5: I was dating at the time decided I should go 539 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 5: skiing with him, which to this day I regret. He 540 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 5: had skied his whole life and had me moving across 541 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 5: the mountain from the beginner slopes to the harder ones 542 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 5: without even looking back to see how I was doing. 543 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 5: When I was coming down a harder slope, someone hit 544 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 5: me and I fell. He left me in the injury 545 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 5: hut and continued to ski, and yes, we broke up 546 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 5: shortly after that. I needed surgery and was in recovery 547 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 5: for a while. 548 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah, Oh my god. 549 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 6: Yeah. 550 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 5: My question is I've gone skiing since this happened, but 551 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 5: I'm still afraid that someone is going to run into me. 552 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 5: Do you have any advice or tricks that could help 553 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 5: me in overcoming my fear. I want to have that 554 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 5: feeling of freedom and that sense of accomplishment I had 555 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 5: in the beginning without being afraid. 556 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 4: Thanks Chris, and she'll join us here. 557 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: Oh is that Chris? She looks like a beautiful meadow. Hi, Chris, Hi, 558 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: CHRISI Hi, how are you? 559 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 8: Thank you? I am in the beautiful meadow. 560 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: That's a nice background. Well, our special guest here is 561 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: Tony Hawk. Tony, I'm going to let. 562 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 3: You start with this since it's a overcoming a fear 563 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 3: kind of question, and then I will chime in. 564 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 6: Well, I'm sorry that happened to you, and just know 565 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 6: that it is very unlikely for that sort of thing 566 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 6: to happen, especially when you're on the sort of beginner 567 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 6: intermediate slopes. Generally, people are all sort of looking out 568 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 6: for each other unless someone is very beginner and out 569 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 6: of control. But I think that you survived a worst 570 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 6: case scenario for the most part, and it's you know, 571 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 6: the old, the old cliche, get back on the horse. 572 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 6: If you get back out there and you really just 573 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 6: start to enjoy it and enjoy the freedom of it, 574 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 6: I think you'll gain that confidence back and also you'll 575 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 6: be able to be more aware of your surroundings. 576 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 7: Right, thank you. 577 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 8: Yes, I do want that freedom back to enjoy because 578 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 8: I loved it. I loved every second of it until 579 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 8: that happen, and now I have like this gripping fear, 580 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 8: and now I'm like so tense and I want to 581 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 8: get back to where I was. 582 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 6: But you're also being led by someone with great experience 583 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 6: and not considering that maybe you shouldn't be in those 584 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 6: areas or and that kind of thing can really be 585 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 6: a recipe for disaster. 586 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: M absolutely listen. 587 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 3: Part of your fear that you've already walked through the 588 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 3: door of it, because you're already back out there trying 589 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 3: to ski again. 590 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: So that's half of it. 591 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: Okay, you've already stepped through that doorway, and you don't 592 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 3: have to live in that fear because you're not going 593 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 3: to put yourself in that situation again. You're not going 594 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 3: to put yourself on a mountain or a run that 595 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 3: doesn't feel comfortable to you. You're going to take it 596 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 3: easy and you're going to enjoy the very thing you 597 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 3: loved about skiing, which was the open air and the 598 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 3: freedom within it and going down a hill at whatever 599 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 3: speed you feel comfortable in without overdoing it. I had 600 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 3: been dragged down a mountain by a man before. I 601 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 3: have ended up in a gully by myself that I 602 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 3: had to climb out of my ski boots with and 603 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 3: I never spoke to that man again either. So there 604 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 3: can be a lack of conscientiousness regarding others, especially when 605 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 3: you are around men and sports. They think, just keep up, 606 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: if you're worth your assault, you'll be able to find 607 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 3: me at the bottom of the hill. And the answer 608 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 3: to that is fuck off. So I'm glad that you 609 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 3: never spoke to him again. I'm glad that you're healthy 610 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 3: enough to be using your body again to ski and 611 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: do the very thing that he introduced you to. So 612 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 3: there is a silver lining. You know, the person that 613 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 3: kind of gave you a bad experience is also the 614 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 3: one who introduced you to the experience. 615 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: Correct, No, he was not. 616 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 8: I started skiing after a divorce and I wanted to 617 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 8: try something new and something free, and that's what I 618 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 8: started with. It just that he just came along after that. 619 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: Okay, Well think of that as a second divorce. And 620 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: now you can party. Okay. 621 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 3: So you've gotten those two people out of your way 622 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 3: and now you can have a good time. And I 623 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 3: think you should just say a little mantra to yourself 624 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 3: when you are skiing down the mountain. I am safe, 625 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 3: I am okay, I am careful, I am safe. 626 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm okay. I'm careful. Just don't put yourself in a 627 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: situation where you're out of your element. 628 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,239 Speaker 3: And even if you do, even if you end up 629 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 3: on a scarier run than you're used to, you're still safe. 630 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 3: You just proceed with caution, you know what I mean. 631 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 3: You have more skills now and then you did then, 632 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 3: And you proceed with caution, and just remind yourself you're 633 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 3: gonna be okay. 634 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna be okay. And I think if you repeat. 635 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 3: That to yourself while you're skiing, it starts to kind 636 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 3: of live in your body in a little bit more 637 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,360 Speaker 3: of a deep, more meaningful way. 638 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 5: And I think taking a step that's a little easier 639 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 5: than what you think is sort of your max. You know, 640 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 5: one step easier than what you're you feel comfortable with 641 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 5: might get you back doing. 642 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 2: It a little bit more. 643 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 5: But if you aren't finding that you're able to get 644 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 5: past this fear, you might try some EMDR therapy. I 645 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 5: think for an event like this, that can help you 646 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 5: process the trauma and also sort of reframe it. 647 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 2: Especially for something that's. 648 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 5: So physical and hadst long recovery time, which I know 649 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 5: Tony went through just recently as well, that can help 650 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 5: with this lingering fear in the back of your mind 651 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 5: of like, oh my gosh, there's somebody going to crash 652 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 5: into me. 653 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 6: It'll get easier, though each time you might not notice 654 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 6: how incremental it is. But at some point you'll be 655 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 6: on the on the slopes thinking, oh, I'm not worried 656 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 6: about that anymore, and it'll happen. 657 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 8: Great, because I'd like to hit up Blake Placid this 658 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 8: year if I'm lucky. 659 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 1: Do it, do it, do it well?

Because my day 833 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 5: to day is an exhausting grind and I feel like 834 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 5: i'm not the mom I want to be, or do 835 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 5: I stick it out, risk missing out on these younger 836 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 5: years of my kids' lives, and hope I work my 837 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 5: way up to a nine to five position by the 838 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 5: time they hit their high school years. A working mom 839 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 5: listening on my commute to work. 840 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 1: Jennifer, Hi, Jennifer, I tell cy Catherine, I'd say Hi, 841 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,240 Speaker 1: Tony Hawk. He's our special guest today. 842 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,359 Speaker 7: Hi, Tony Hawk. Carry you Hi. 843 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 3: He specializes in maternal advice. So you've got you call it. 844 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,839 Speaker 6: It's something similar. I have many children, so I do 845 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 6: have plenty of experience. 846 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 7: Awesome, that's what I'm looking for. 847 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: So let me ask you a question. 848 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 3: Financially, would you be stable without working as a police officer? 849 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 7: We would be because the idea is not that I 850 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 7: would be like a stay at home Mom'm not bringing 851 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 7: in income. I would ideally be replacing that income with 852 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:36,240 Speaker 7: something else that's more conducive to like the work life balance. 853 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 6: Right. 854 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 3: Well, then, I just don't think there's any question. It's like, 855 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 3: you have to follow your heart and your gut. And 856 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 3: as a mother, I understand the inkling. I mean, I 857 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 3: don't understand because I'm not a mother, but I can 858 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 3: pretend to understand and empathize with the idea that you 859 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,480 Speaker 3: want to spend time with your child while they're growing up. 860 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 3: You're never going to get those years back, and you're 861 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 3: pretty dispassionate about being a police officer, so that would 862 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 3: be a waste of time to continue to pursue that 863 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 3: just for as a means to an end. In my opinion, 864 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 3: I think that all women and men should always listen 865 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 3: to their intuition, and you know their instinct, and your 866 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 3: instinct is telling you that you want to be there 867 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 3: for your child and to create some sort of revenue 868 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,240 Speaker 3: and career that would bring you a lot more joy 869 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 3: and would keep you around. 870 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,080 Speaker 1: A lot longer. 871 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 3: You know, more hours in the day to spend with 872 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,879 Speaker 3: your daughter. Something probably more part time. 873 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 7: It sounds like, yeah, probably something similar to that. 874 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any question. 875 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, your boyfriend's probably going to disagree 876 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 3: with you, but I think your happiness is pretty much 877 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,520 Speaker 3: more important than your financial stability at this point. You know, 878 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 3: as long as he's working, and your intention is to 879 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 3: create another job that will bring you more pleasure and 880 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 3: allow you the time to spend more time with your daughter. 881 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: Then that's what you need to do. Absolutely. 882 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. I think the hard part is because like I 883 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 7: feel like going into it, I like, before having my daughter, 884 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 7: that was what my passion was. I was really good 885 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,600 Speaker 7: at it. So I feel like I'm worried that shifting 886 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 7: this mindset because I have my daughter now, and maybe 887 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 7: I'll go back to thinking that way after like these 888 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 7: really tough like early years are past, and then regret 889 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 7: walking away from it instead of just like sticking it out. 890 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,959 Speaker 7: I guess for the few years that are really tough. 891 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. 892 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 3: I think you need to listen to your inner voice, 893 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 3: because that's your voice telling you that this isn't right 894 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 3: for you anymore. I don't think you're going to look 895 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 3: back and be like I wish I had remained a 896 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 3: police officer and stuck it out. 897 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 898 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 3: Like I think that you should be respectful of your 899 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 3: own feelings. I think women so oftentimes are taught to 900 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 3: second guests their actual intuition and instinct. 901 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: And you don't need to do that. 902 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 3: You just said it, you know, you wrote in You're 903 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 3: taking the time, and even if you did in a 904 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 3: few years miss that, I'm sure there's an avenue of 905 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 3: your of a way back in to a police force 906 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 3: once you once you've become a police officer, you can 907 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 3: take a leave of absence. 908 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: You can, Hey, i'm a retired I stopped being a 909 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: police officer. You can go back to that vocation. 910 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess it's not yeah permanent. It was something 911 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 7: I wanted to go back to. 912 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think it's I mean, Tony, what do 913 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 3: you think from a male perspective. 914 00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:11,360 Speaker 6: Oh, I absolutely agree. I was hyper fixated on a 915 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 6: career like you, with being a police officer, and I 916 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 6: was just sucked up in it. And then I got 917 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,399 Speaker 6: carried away and I definitely missed milestones and a few 918 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 6: of my kids' lives and I can't get them back. 919 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 6: I am there for them much more than ever, but 920 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 6: there is definitely a sense of regret in their early 921 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 6: years because I thought that, well, I need to be 922 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,359 Speaker 6: doing this. This is the success, this is what I've 923 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 6: already dreamed of. I have to chase this to the 924 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 6: very end. And what is the end? I don't know. 925 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 6: I guess that's my point is like, if you wanted 926 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 6: to be the police officer and to be working those 927 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 6: hard hours, what is the end goal of all of that. 928 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 6: It feels like you're just chasing the carrot the whole time, 929 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,759 Speaker 6: and you would definitely miss out on a lot of 930 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 6: things with your daughter, right. 931 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 7: Yeah, my daughter.

Dear Chelsea, I'm the mother of 1033 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 5: eighteen year old boy girl twins. I'm very frustrated with 1034 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,360 Speaker 5: my son's lack of good hygiene. 1035 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,799 Speaker 2: He does shower, but he. 1036 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 5: Puts his dirty clothes back on. He rarely does laundry 1037 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 5: unless I force him to. He never brushes his teeth 1038 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 5: and somehow doesn't have cavities. His room smells like dirty 1039 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 5: ass constantly. How can I get him to care how 1040 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 5: he smells. He's not depressed, he's just lazy and doesn't care. 1041 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 5: Thanks for Annie help you can offer Tara from Pa. 1042 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's tricky. My best approach to that has been 1043 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 6: about how offensive it is to your partner, or your 1044 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 6: potential partners, or your you know, girls at school, the 1045 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 6: girls of school. Yeah, I mean that was it. Like 1046 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,799 Speaker 6: I one of my sons was. I think he was 1047 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 6: trying to be more hippie about it, but at some 1048 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,279 Speaker 6: point it was just offensive to everyone. And I had 1049 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:39,920 Speaker 6: to tell him, you know, because you got travel with him, 1050 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 6: and I was like, you got to put on the odorant, 1051 00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 6: You've got to brush your teeth more often. And at 1052 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 6: one point he brought a girl along to one of 1053 00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 6: our trips and I that's when I got serious, m hm, 1054 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,520 Speaker 6: because it was like, you're in close quarters with this 1055 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:54,720 Speaker 6: person all the time. 1056 00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean hygiene in general. I understand there's a 1057 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,760 Speaker 3: phase within all of our lives. I have had phases 1058 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,080 Speaker 3: where I didn't feel the most hygienic in my life, 1059 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 3: where I just like, I like to eat food in bed, 1060 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 3: you know, I don't care if there's like mustard on 1061 00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 3: the sheet, I'll go to bed like that. But in 1062 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 3: terms of personal hygiene, there is something very undignified about 1063 00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,720 Speaker 3: not accessing healthy water, clean water when you have access 1064 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,280 Speaker 3: to it, and it is putting on putting on dirty 1065 00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 3: clothing after you take a shower is really gross. 1066 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,400 Speaker 6: Like there's that is counterintuitive. 1067 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 1: It's counterintuitive. 1068 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 3: And I'm sure there's a lot of masturbating going on 1069 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 3: with this kid too, because he's a teenage boy, so 1070 00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 3: who knows what that's he's I mean, Mick put that 1071 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,399 Speaker 3: in the mix that we didn't mention, you know, And 1072 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 3: I want to say, like, in these instances, it's it's 1073 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 3: almost more important for someone outside of the family to 1074 00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 3: make the point to them rather than someone in the family, 1075 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 3: and not in the sense of like publicly shaming them 1076 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,440 Speaker 3: and like, you know, posting pictures of his room or 1077 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 3: whatever on your social platforms. I don't mean like that, 1078 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,360 Speaker 3: but I think it would be important if you could 1079 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,600 Speaker 3: enlist one of his friends or one of your friends 1080 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 3: or some want to make a comment that would actually 1081 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 3: make him care that he's having an impact not only 1082 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 3: on his inner family life, which he clearly doesn't care about, 1083 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 3: you know, offending, but someone outside the family circle. You know, 1084 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 3: maybe it's a girl, maybe you have one of your 1085 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 3: friend's daughters say something, or and it doesn't have to 1086 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 3: be like a public roasting, but like in a private way, 1087 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 3: like you'd be a lot cuter if you smelled better, 1088 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 3: or who knows, yeah. 1089 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 6: Or just by the accounts of girls and women who 1090 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,080 Speaker 6: are like I was not going to go home with 1091 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 6: that guy because he smelled and his place was a 1092 00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,359 Speaker 6: big style out of there, like that's you know. 1093 00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe you can go through TikTok or Instagram and 1094 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 3: just collect a bunch of videos of women talking about 1095 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 3: how gross they find men who don't be. 1096 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 6: Pay sure, and it's always a deal breaker, so and 1097 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,880 Speaker 6: not always, but you know, it seems like more often 1098 00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 6: than not. 1099 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a deal breaker. 1100 00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,839 Speaker 3: I mean, I understand teenage boys are one section, but listen, also, 1101 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,439 Speaker 3: there is a very very strong chance he will grow 1102 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,319 Speaker 3: out of this phase of his life.
