You were listening to The Battle Ready Podcast. My name is Aaron McManus and I'm here with

my dad, Erwin Raphael McManus. How are you doing today?

I'm so excited to be here. New year, 2023. 2023 is the first app of the year. Is it

to Enkley January 2nd? Today's January 2nd. We have Witte's Auckland St. John.

We have Austin St. John in the booth. Okay. I realize that our battle really has a patron saint.

Austin St. John. In John of Austin. Okay. So a lot of things have happened. We haven't been back

in a few weeks. As you get into the New Year, people make New Year's resolutions, people,

come back into the gym. They drink crazy drinks that help them get fit and slim and healthy.

But how long does it last? As a dramatic realm for all of our listeners?

You know, it's better not to make resolutions. It's better to make changes.

Austin St. John. Interesting. Okay.

Well, I think one of them is the resolution is based on a long-term goal or vision of yourself

and changes are what you can do today. You know? And you know, it's one people say,

hey, I'm going to lose 20 pounds or I'm going to do this or that. It's so much better just

to go. This is what I'm going to do today. And what I'm going to try to do, this is what I'm

trying to commit to do every day. And so got back into gym today. My body was rebelling.

Oh, so you wanted to lose? Yeah. But the gym was empty. The place I work out, it was empty.

What was it? I feel like I'm still really back in the city yet, though.

Well, it seemed that very few people were resolving to get that shape or get healthy.

But I'm also raining in LA today. So it's been raining. It's been raining every day this week.

It's so crazy. For all of you people who are stuck in like ice frozen tundra,

what was it called? It was called like a black hydra or something? Or is that just marvel?
