| 0:08.6 | You have a lot going on, and not also including a very active WhatsApp conversation |
| 0:16.4 | that gives me life every single day of the week. Thank you very much. |
| 0:19.9 | But let's talk about your |
| 0:21.1 | feel-good habits. And you've already said that you, you're not somebody who's ever been |
| 0:27.2 | depressed and you're not somebody who necessarily falls into those black holes of feeling |
| 0:31.2 | glum. But do you have things that you do just to keep yourself perky and pepped up and |
| 0:36.5 | motivated? Because you are one of the |
| 0:39.1 | most motivated and diligent people I know. If you've got something that has to be done, not only will |
| 0:49.3 | you do it, but you do it to the best that it can possibly be done. Yeah, but more because what I've realized is I tried |

| 1:39.3 | Because sometimes they irritate a shit out with me and they're the reason I don't feel good. |
| 1:45.0 | And people who say that, I think, |
| 1:46.3 | have beautiful young children or no children. |
| 1:49.1 | That's what I think. |
| 1:50.1 | They don't have older children with real, |
