Hello? Hey, is it working? Yeah, what's your name, sir? My name is Joe. How's it going, Joe?

Dude, it's going pretty good. It's nice to talk to you, finally.

Uh, nice to talk to you, man. I'm...

Sure. I'm in a chill mood. I think everything's going to be okay, but I...

That's awesome. I love to hear that.

Uh, yeah, I mean, who I think I think I don't know I think I don't know I think I

got to just start accepting life for whatever it is

Maybe I don't know maybe I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know how my I've I fucking won't shut up about this on the on the show and it just in my own brain but I don't know how much of life is how much of life is

improving external circumstances versus accepting them I think it's some

combination of both but yeah for sure yeah yeah uh no I mean that's kind of going off of what I want to talk to you about a little bit

today yeah like I just had a few what I want to talk to you about a little bit today. Yeah, man.

Like, I've just had a few circumstances in life that kind of hit me early on.

And now it's just, you know, I'm trying to deal with them, but I don't know man I feel like they kind of get me

down sometimes and it's hard to get out of that depression you know what I mean

okay what yeah what are they?

dude I was big into the gym a few years ago and honestly I had a few injuries that I never took care of and they

dissolved into something pretty bad and then I don't know over time it got it got worse and worse eventually had surgery

you know I got some you know got some risk and back issues now so lifting is kind of

never been the same since then and that was like a big thing that kind of made my life really important

that now it's pretty it's pretty hard to find something that brings me the

same meaning you know what I mean?

Hmm. I guess you can't lift anymore because of these injuries.
