I don't want to share someone else's thoughts.

I want to create my own original thoughts.

I want to create my own original solutions.

I want to look at situations and come up with my own phrasing, my own words, and do it my way.

This is the John Taffer podcast.

Shut it down.

Hello, hello, everybody.

I'm John Taffer.

This is the John Taffer podcast. Thank you. All for listening. This will be the last podcast of our new year, Corey. That's right. Yeah. Last podcast of 2020, man, am I glad to see this? I hope that we can get back to the fun that we had in 1919 on this podcast and that every week is so serious all the time. Yeah. Yeah, that would be nice. So that's what I'm hoping. I'm hoping that the world lightens up a little as more people get vaccinated. The hospital starts to empty out that we just all lighten up a little bit. Would that be a good thing? It would. So, you know, it's interesting as we

entered the new year, everybody always has resolutions for the new year. Remember those?

What are your New Year's resolutions? What are your New Year's resolutions? Do you have a New Year's

resolution? Uh, survived this last week. Survived, okay. Because we, I'm, I made it this far, you know.

So, so I'm guessing you probably got that in a bag. But, you know, people, you know, a really popular one is losing weight. Obviously, I'm going to lose weight. I'm going to lose weight. That's my resolution. You know, other people's resolutions are I'm going to work more. I'm going to work less. I'm going to spend more time with my wife or my husband. and, you know, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that. And statistically, I was reading online about 80% of resolutions, they don't only don't happen. They're never mentioned again after the first time. They just disappear. And then if you ask somebody six months later, the way whatever happened with that the resolution that

you had they're going to what are they going to do they're going to give you an excuse i'm going to

give you an excuse and buddy hackett those of you who don't know who buddy hackett is is a great comedian

and if you haven't googled buddy hackett was he's a dirty comedian from years ago and was a very good

friend of mine.

I sat on a board of Buddy Hackett's charity.

Buddy Hackett used to always say,

I've been on a diet for two weeks and I lost 14 days.

So he would turn it into a joke.

Right.
