Hi folks, Jack Spirko here. Today you are listening to an episode of TSP Rewind.

Commercial free versions of past episodes podcast blast from the past.

I put these up when I can't do a show due to professional commitments or rare vacations.

These podcasts will appear in standard iTunes, Stitcher, and other feeds,

but will be titled TSP Rewind episodes and numbered accordingly.

And today we are rewinding all the way back to December the 22nd.

That's not all so long ago, it's just before Christmas.

Oh no, 2011. That's right guys, we're going all the way back to 2011 today

in the series of rewinds during my winter shutdown as we progress year by year.

All of the episodes done in December of each consecutive year.

So we're going back today, what, 11 friggin years.

That's pretty crazy in it, but I picked this episode for a variety of reasons.

One, you get the whole episode today, including the original introduction,

including me telling you that my voice is straight at this time.

That's not why I just don't get there.

I took out the commercials, like I always do for these, and then just the rest.

So let's just check that out.

And the reason I did this episode at the time was because this is such a good time,

right, this end of year to kind of put your house in order for the coming year.

Everybody talks about New Year's resolutions and generally involves paying for a year of a health club

using it three times and then just, you know, not using it anymore and not making,

like that's the kind of changes people make in their life.
