When you just say sorry and you just own it. Like no excuses. Like I never, I didn't ever say to any of those people and there's probably half a dozen. I didn't ever say to them, hey, here's the reason I did it. I did not say that. I've actually done this with you, Kip. Like there's been moments where I've actually mistreated you. And there's like two or three that I can remember. And I've called you up and I've said, hey, man, that was not cool. I took advantage or I didn't treat you the way that you deserve

0:27.0

as a friend to be treated. And I'm sorry. Okay, what's up, man? Great to see you this Monday morning

0:34.0

coming off the back of a weekend and getting into things right. Man, I'm glad to have you here. Yeah, absolutely. And we got some pretty good questions today. I'm actually

0:43.7

intrigued by the questions as well as what you're going to come up with. So no pressure, Ryan.

0:49.6

Bring it. I'll always come up with something interesting, whether or not it's relevant or accurate

0:55.5

is to be determined. But it will always be interesting. I got a message from a guy earlier,

1:02.5

I think it was over the weekend. And he said, hey, man, I just wanted to tell you. I appreciated

1:05.9

your last post that you made. I agree with some of the things that you say. And I was like, that's exactly right.

1:13.3

That's what it should be. You know, if somebody's agreeing with everything that you say or you're

1:18.0

always getting it right, I can't help but think maybe there's some manipulation going on there.

1:22.8

Or maybe there's just some pedestalizing, if that's a word, going on, and both probably are not

1:28.7

conducive to- Yeah, you're like, are you critical thinking enough, right? Like, are you sure you

1:34.9

completely agree? Because I may not agree, right? I mean, how many times, I'm sure that's happened

1:39.9

to you, but at least from my perspective over the years, I'm like, you know, we may say

1:44.8

something. And then later in the week, I'm like, hmm, you know, maybe I'd say that a little bit different, right? Maybe I don't see it the same way I've, I see it. So. Yeah, I, yeah, that's exactly right. I was, I wrote down like, I don't even agree with half the things I say and do you know and and we justify all sort of

2:02.8

all sorts of misbehavior and bullshit and I it's like we're we're I do this more than other

2:09.7

people I think I don't know if it's more than but we we sabotage ourselves we we know exactly

2:15.8

how to talk to ourselves to talk us into the things that we already

2:19.5

know we shouldn't be doing, but we want to do. It's bad, man. You really need a level of

2:26.3

vigilance otherwise, and I'm talking to myself more than anybody else here. You really need a

2:30.5

level of vigilance or you're just going to continue to sabotage yourself. Or I should say, I'm going to continue to sabotage myself.

2:37.9

Yeah, yeah.
