How are you? Come on in. Have you ever noticed a life sometimes it's pretty random, it seems? Or maybe it's just fast. Or maybe it's randomly fast or fastly random. I don't know what it is, but it's those things anyway. I ran into that in a game the other day, and I'll share with you in just a few minutes. I need a boost. I need a daily boost.

I need a daily boost.

I need a daily boost.

How you doing?

Scott Smith, good to have you.

Coming out of the big game, the biggest call-in sick day of the year.

I'm guessing after watching that game, that very likely there's a lot of

folks who stayed a little too late, drank a little too much, and had to call in sick. And it happens every year. It just happens. But why do people hate the Patriots this year? I don't get it. A friend of mine at the gym said, I hate the Patriots. I said, why? He said, because they got that little airplane they fly around in and has got those six Lombardi trophies on it, all their wins.

Why don't they have losses on the airplane? I said, well, dude, that's easy. When you're the winner, you don't have to talk about the losses. Well, well, they lost like six times two. What do we do? We put an X on the airplane to signify the loss. They won. They don't have to show the loss. And here's the thing. People who win the most

have lost the most. If you... He's just jealous. He's a Dolphins fan. I get it. Okay.

Hey, by the way, thanks for the conversation we're having on Instagram. Hey, Scott Smith.

And thanks for sending emails, too. Scott at Daily Boost Podcast.com. That's an easy way to remember how to get a hold of me. And I always appreciate hearing from you. And I always respond to you as well. I have an inner circle I've talked about for the last couple of weeks. We've had some people joining. I haven't asked for anybody to join. They're kind of sneaking in the back door. Hey, Scott, I heard you're talking about it. It's a group of 12 to 15 people. Depends on the day. I just kind of, you know, people flow in and out. You know how that works. Professionals, business owners, entrepreneurs, mid-upper career, people that kind of got it going on, but kind of what life to be better. We focus on being aware, more awareness. We focus on building a peaceful base, basically getting rid of stress.

And we focus on options, otherwise on his freedom. Get together once a week and do some cool work. If you're interested in a group like that, send me notes, Scott at Dailyboospodcast.com. I will send you back a document. You can read it. It tells you everything about the group, how to join, how it works,

everything you need to know about it, including how much it costs. If you find it interesting and for you, then we'll get on the phone and we'll talk about it and make sure you're a good fit. Scott at Data Boost Podcast.com. So the other day, I'm in Daytona Beach, at a friend's house. He's a writer and then he took me up to his wife's gallery up in Ormond Beach. Ormond Beach is kind of the snooty part of town. I live in Port Orange. They call as beige. We call him Snooty. And Daytona Beach is in the middle. I'm not going to say what we call Daytona Beach, but we drive through it very quickly. Now that less, I'm up at his, I'm going to get in trouble. I really am. It's great when NASCAR's here. Up there, I'm in his house. And I noticed that he had a... Well, he had something I recognized from my childhood. See, back in the 70s, we didn't have video games. Didn't have Xbox on PlayStation, things like that. We might have had Atari, Pong, maybe. I think Pac-Man was just coming out. But we had pinball machines. Pinball machines were everywhere. And right now, as I talk about a pinball machine, I'm thinking about the evil-ceneval pinball machine. So there's a bunch of young folks right now, mostly Zumi's thinking, first,, what's a pinball machine? And secondly, what's an evil caneval?

Snake River Canyon, look that up too. Pinball machines are great. They were loud. They were big. They were mechanical. They were awesome. They were like dinosaurs. They really were, in a lot of ways. And sometimes you go in a room and there'd be 50 of them. It's awesome. Just bells ringing and, oh, it's crazy stuff.

I lost a lot of my allowance standing in front of one of those machines.

I really did. But at my friend's house, he had a pinball machine there. He said they've had it. It's been in his family ever since it was brand new. I have no idea where they got it, but it was there. And I looked at that thing and I said, dude, this looks like my life and your life and everybody else's life. And you see him kind of crossing his eyes like, what are you talking about?

He's a creative guy. He's a writer, right? So he's trying to figure out where I'm coming from here. And I said, man, it just looks like exactly what we go through in our life. So the game begins at a pinball game. What do you do? Well, you put a quarter in the slot. Now, for you millennials,

go look up a quarter, okay? If you go to Aldi, remember the quarter to get the shopping cart,

it's kind of the same deal, but you don't get the quarterback, okay? So go look up what a quarter is, and then look at a pinball machine and see where you put it in the slot. And when you do, a ball falls into like this little shoot. And you pull back this handle and it has a spring on it.

And when you let

go to the handle, bam, the ball shoots up the side of the pinball machine, kind of explodes into the game. And there's all these obstacles and these bumpers and these bells and everything. It's bouncing, bouncing, bouncing around. And what as soon is, it's falling back toward you and you have these little flippers at the bottom. Sometimes you have four flippers, sometimes just two.
