0:00.0	Have zero expectations of others and high standards for yourself.
0:05.0	Enough of this idea that everybody just gets to decide and just be happy and make yourself happy and go out and get yours.
0:14.0	That's the problem. Because if my happiness is the sole objective of my life, then I can morally screw anyone else over as long as
0:25.5	I'm happy and I got mine. And I don't agree with that.
0:30.7	Kim, what's up, man? So great to see you. We are starting the year off right and strong. So glad to
0:36.4	have you here, man, to do this. Ask me anything. Amen to that, brother. I'm, I'm feeling great. How you feeling? You,
0:42.7	you're ready for Q1? Yeah, I'm good. I mean, I had a good weekend. I'm a little banged up and
0:48.2	sore because I have this reoccurring thought that I can actually keep up with my oldest son in
0:53.9	athletics and feel okay about it.
0:56.3	So, you know, I can, I can hold my own when it comes to performance, but man, my body feels
1:03.5	it after. So last week, he challenged me to a pit. He just came over one day and he's like,
1:10.7	dad, let's go play pickleball. I can beat you. And I'm like, you can't beat me at pickleball. He's like, no, I absolutely can't have been practicing. I'm like, no. He's like, when's the last time you played? I'm like, I don't know, four or five months ago when we played. He's like, oh, I'll smoke you. I'm like, all right, bring it on. And we went, and my neighbor's got an indoor pickleball court, so he lets us use it. So we went over there. And I smoked him three to zero. And he's like, what? How is this happening? I'm like, I'm just more athletic than you. Like, I can just get off the couch and do it. And he's like, no, no, no. And so this weekend, he wanted to challenge me to a lacrosse competition. And I'm like, are you sure that's your sport? Like you don't want to lose in your own sport to me. Are you sure about that? And he's like, yeah, I'll beat you. I promise I'll beat you. I'm like, all right. So we went and we did three competitions.
2:02.6	So we did precision accuracy on shots, long range shots, and then faceoffs. And he won the
2:09.0	precision accuracy. And I won the long shots. So we did the face off. And we went two to two.
2:16.1	And he won the last one and made me look really foolish on the last one.
2:20.0	And so he won the lacrosse tournament yesterday.
2:23.0	But my hip,
2:23.9	I was going to say you're paying the price today.
2:27.6	Oh my gosh.
2:28.9	Yeah, my hip and back are just banged up, just brutal.
2:33.7	So, yeah, this week is going to, we're going to do 12, 12 competitions for over, um,
