0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph 11. Mike, Mike, how can I help?
0:13.7	How you doing? Good. What's up? You know, I'm just talking, you know, I wanted to talk about just like, you know, thinking about things that, you know, are over and stuff that, you know, you can't really look back on anymore.
0:30.2	But, you know, I think about them all the time. And it always puts me in like a, like, I know reminiscing was like good, but like it always puts me in like a sad mood that lasts like a couple hours.
0:39.2	Like, you know, I'm happy where I'm at in life right now, but I just feel like it's missing something that used to be there.
0:46.9	Well, what reminiscing about what particular subject gets to you the most?
0:53.7	I'm just like like sports definitely, just like my sports career before, obviously now, and

1:40.2	And, you know, like, I'm constantly, I don't see my family as much.
1:48.0	Well, if that seeing your friends and family is that meaningful why the hell are you not back where you
1:53.5	used to be that seems like a reasonable fix doesn't it no it definitely does but know, I'm also happy where I am. You know, I still live in the town where my
2:05.8	college was. Okay. I work at a bar. I have a bunch of friends. Mike, Mike, Mike, you have to decide
2:13.6	your priority. Yeah.
