0:00.0	This is Jockel podcast number 377 with Echo Charles and me, Jockel,
0:04.4	well, good evening. Good evening. So a while ago, we might have been say, back in the day.
0:12.4	In the days. I gave some advice, little advice to the boys in a certain situation.
0:22.4	And I think this piece of advice that I gave, it's one of those pieces of advice,
0:28.0	very simple piece of advice, very simple piece of advice. And yet, if you follow this very simple piece of advice,
0:36.2	your whole life will be in a much better place. Gold nugget. Now, I know that's a little arrogant,
0:43.4	right? Does it even say tell you that I spewed some gold nugget piece of advice, right? But I
0:49.6	think you might agree with me when you hear this piece of advice that I gave some people. And I've
0:54.5	given it to other people over the years. Here's the, here's the very powerful piece of advice that will help you

1:55.0	actually giving this advice to someone the other day. I started thinking to myself, this is so obvious.
2:00.5	Why would anyone do dumb shit? Why would you, why would you do it? Literally, one of the reasons.
2:09.0	And then I started thinking about actual reasons that cause people to do dumb shit, myself included.
2:17.8	And I'm sure we'll find some examples for echo Charles. But I thought let's sit down, let me think
2:25.0	about some of these things. And we can discuss some of the primary reasons for us to do dumb shit.
2:33.3	And that way, maybe we can prevent some people. And that means me and that means you
2:41.8	from doing some dumb shit. Okay, first on my list, this one's real obvious. This one, this one is
2:50.8	the winner by far. Alcohol. Look, yes. You take, if you take the seal teams.
