specifically uh by Queen Christine not to touch this one just because she knows you know some of my thoughts and perspectives may be a little bit different than others. 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:19.360 Uh but I told her I can I think I can handle this responsibly, so we're gonna broach we're gonna broach a talk on it. 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:31.679 Um so if you hadn't heard We Must Live Under a Rock for Shane Gillis, uh the comedian was on Saturday Night Live and said some things uh within his monologue that were a little offensive to uh a lot of people, I would say. 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:37.919 And there's been a lot of reaction, a lot of backlash, a lot of just opinions swirling around uh off the topic itself. 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:46.000 Um basically, uh we'll read the comments, but you know, we don't necessarily say we're condoning them, we're just giving you the facts. 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.799 Uh in his monologue, he said, I haven't been to a gym in so long. 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.639 I just I didn't know women just dress like fours now. 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.440 Um from there he continues to say, Look, I'm sorry, there's no other way to describe it. 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.120 Uh you have you seen it? 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.799 I've seen it, you've seen the shorts, and don't look. 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.079 You're not allowed to look. 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:14.480 Uh so these are just a couple of the comments that he said uh during his monologue, which have then received a lot of backlash online, uh definitely from the female community, uh the women community. 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:23.440 Um and I also think the women are kind of split on this one because I have seen a lot of women uh who lean on one side of the fence and then who lean on the other side of the fence as well. 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:35.680 Uh so I think it has been an interesting conversation uh to kind of take part in, um not take part in from like really in that way, but to kind of witness, I would say, more of more than more than take part in. 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:46.559 Um my thoughts on the whole situation I think that sometimes men just gotta do the proper thing and shut the fuck up. 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:50.960 And it's pretty much just you know, just that part of it for me. 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.279 Um just sometimes you just gotta shut up as a man. 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.519 Um and not to say that Shane Gillis has to shut up. 00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:01.279 Uh I do think that Shane Gillis is as controversial as he is as a comedian. 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:10.480 Um I do think that he, you know, shares a lot of his opinions under the g the guise of comedy, um, and uh maybe some truth to it, maybe some not. 00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:13.359 I do think there is a safe space for comedy. 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:24.160 Uh I also think society itself has gotten a lot, you know, PC within the last 10 or 15 years or so, so it does make it harder on comedians, uh, because jokes that they would have been able to get off in the past they might not be able to get off now. 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.440 Um so I don't know Shane Gillis personally. 00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.720 I've seen some of the things he said. 00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:30.160 Do I think he's funny sometimes? 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:31.839 Do I think he crosses the line sometimes? 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:32.319 Yes. 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:45.359 Uh I do think using the word whores to describe women uh can be a little bit touchy, even it is a c even if it is a comedic bit, uh, which I think that's what he was using his monologue at Saturday Night Live for is as a comedic bit. 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:55.839 Um and if you've seen a lot of his comedy, if you've seen comedy in general, the comedians are meant to kind of like push the line a little bit when it comes to things that they're speaking about and how they speak about them in general. 00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.240 Um so do I think it's comedy? 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.519 I do think that it is comedy and sometimes the jokes just don't land. 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:08.799 And if your joke don't land, then for me, then you know, you're open to people's critique of your comedic, you know, whatever you put out there. 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:14.160 Um so the whole whores part, I ain't really agreeing with calling women whores in that way. 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:20.480 Uh even if it is a comedic fit, again, just because of where we're at in society nowadays, uh things can be very triggering. 00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:30.480 Uh so to the second point of it, with the whole shorts thing and then just having the the perspective on, you know, what women are wearing nowadays in the gym. 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:37.920 Um, I do think that here's where men, you gotta kinda tap out on the issue as far as giving your perspectives on it uh in front of women, you know. 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:52.079 Um and I might have my own perspectives on it in general, but I do not think it is a time for me to share them because this issue or this I wanna say, you know, this situation itself is kind of their lane to defend themselves for. 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:58.480 Or the lane to, you know, have it out with each other for because again, there are women who think one way and there are also women who think the other way. 00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:06.079 Um and we're seeing a lot of it now, uh, just because of everything that this conversation or excuse me, the monologue opened up for conversation on. 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:11.200 Um and I do think that again, men gotta gotta sit this one out and let the women have their perspectives. 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:17.920 Uh and even more so, I would say, in support of the women in this conversation that feel like what he said was out of line. 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:27.839 Um I know that as a trainer, someone who works in a gym, someone who's around women, a lot of the women

may dress the way that Shane Gillis was describing uh when I see them in the gym. 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.160 Um my thoughts on it is just that ladies gonna wear what they wanna wear. 00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:41.680 Like we've gotten past the point of being able to tell women what to wear, being able to control what women wear, and being able to, you know, really, really critique what they're doing with their bodies. 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.799 We adjust we just at that state of society right now. 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.880 So again, sometimes you gotta sit it out and let the women have their thing. 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:58.160 Uh and I do think that a lot of the conversation, to add to what I was just saying, I do think a lot of the conversation for women uh kind of goes around the whole creep thing. 00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:10.160 Uh and that is the guys that creep on them in the gym or while they're at the gym, and uh, you know, the fact that what they're wearing may be something that can, I guess, give them a little bit more attention from that. 00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.759 Not to say that that's what they're looking for. 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:12.799 Um, some of them, yes. 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:16.000 I would say there are women that wear those kinds of things for the attention. 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:19.519 Uh but I do think there are also women who just ain't really putting that much into it. 00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:22.880 You know, they just trying to get a lift in, they think it's cute, they want to rock it. 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:24.640 Again, that's just where we're at right now. 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:32.319 And I respect it for women, I respect it for men who, you know, want to wear whatever they want to wear in the gym, the hoochie daddy shorts, the cutoff tank tops. 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:34.720 Like, people wear what the fuck they want to wear when they work out. 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:50.960 Like, so for me, any kind of like I guess creep vibes around that is what our women are kind of standing up for themselves on because I've seen women on online sharing stories about how, you know, they were wearing sweatpants and then they still got hit on a gym. 00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:59.759 I've seen women online talking about how they wore shorts and were followed to their car just because guys, you know, are you know thinking that you know they're what they're wearing gives them license to. 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.200 Than you know, creep on them or hit on them or whatever, you know. 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:11.119 And a lot of that shit is just the male, like horny, just and also again, creepy and horny, all of that shit mixed in one. 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.720 Uh, but I do understand that a lot of women have to deal with that kind of shit. 00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:21.279 As someone who you know doesn't really move that way, I can check the fellas when it gets to be a little bit creepy in that way too. 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:34.720

So, fellas, we got to do a better job of making sure that, you know, the ones, the real ones, I would say, got to do a better job of speaking up with our voices and letting them know that there are guys out there that are like that, the creeps, but they're also dudes who can respect you in the gym, you know. 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:42.319 And maybe the only thing I'm coming over to help you with is uh putting a little bit more weight on your bar or something like that, you know, or helping you critique with some form. 00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:48.720 Because I think a lot of that gets cross-wired, and then there is a wall-up for women uh as far as uh letting men enter their space. 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:54.480 And with respect to them, with the way things have been in society for a long, long time, I do understand that, you know. 00:22:54.720 --> 00:23:00.799 So in this situation, overall, I just think it's not men's real job to give an opinion on, you know. 00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:07.440 And one man went out there and said something, but that don't mean the rest of us now got to stand up and start speaking up for him or speaking against him or whatever. 00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:17.839 You know, I just think that in general, like women have their space, and this is the time for them to exercise and make space for themselves to share their opinions, and that's just how I feel about it. 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:26.640 All right, so real quick moving forward from there, I want to hit the sports world for a quick spin, seeing some things going around. 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:30.400 Uh the NFL weekend was wild as hell, I would say. 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.680 Um, and currently the Giants are still sitting at the top of the NFC East. 00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.000 So shouts to the Giants for everything they're doing. 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:42.240 Uh, but also not really shouts out to the Giants because they kind of put themselves in a shitty position that last game and could have got the win. 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:53.440 Um and uh off of the weekend, it was funny to see the stat that you know the in the NFC East, this is the first week where no team had a win, uh, but two of the teams within the NFC East played each other. 00:23:53.519 --> 00:24:10.000 So very interesting and funny stat uh to kind of along with call go along with the tie between my Giants and the Washington Commanders over the weekend uh with a very poorly executed fourth quarter and uh well not fourth quarter, overtime, excuse me, by both teams, uh, which ended in a draw, and that's just how it goes. 00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:14.400 So we'll take the win uh as a draw, or we'll take the draw, excuse me, as a win. 00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:16.880 Um and we still sit at the top of the NFC East. 00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:18.160 So listen, we'll take it. 00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:18.720 We'll take it. 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.799 Moving on from there, we will talk football, uh, the other football we'll say.

00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:29.519 Um, and that is kind of just furthering the conversation that we've been having for decades now. 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:37.039 Well, over a decade now, I would say, not decades, but uh the Messi and Ronaldo conversation has now been re-ignited. 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:48.079 Um, and I don't think it's ever really not been ignited ever since the World Cup and the end of the World Cup with the way that Ronaldo's career has gone, plus the way Messi's career has gone and the things we're seeing from both of them. 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:54.720 Um Ronaldo has now recently went out there and basically staked his claim as the greatest player of all time. 00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:58.160 Um I don't really know if he said the greatest player of all time. 00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:17.519 I think he specifically said he's the greatest goal scorer of all time and kind of, you know, defended himself just because of the way things are going for him with the whole Portugal and him being off the team, him being on the team situation, and him having the list of things to, you know, make the coach apologize about before he can come back to the team. 00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:25.440 This is just another one of these moments where I think he's exercising his prima donna um and a lot of his inner child and a lot of his inner bitch. 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:34.240 Like, you know, for me, this is kind of why I hold back on the Ronaldo conversation because I operate from it with a specific bias as a Messi fan. 00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:42.640 And I know Messi fans, you know, have our feelings about Ronaldo and they're not a monolith, so you can kind of feel one way or another. 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:50.480 I think I'm at the point where I respect what both of them have done in their careers, uh, but I also don't really like this motherfucker Ronaldo's personality. 00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:57.680 And I can be honest and say that, which is why I try not to go back and forth with both of them too much because I'm operating from a biased perspective. 00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:00.000 Like I don't fuck with Ronaldo's personality. 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.359 Like what he does on the field, what he does on the pitch, I can respect it. 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.279 But as a person, I think he is very fucking annoying. 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:17.519 Um, and he runs around with this whole like facade that he's you know ironclad and he's unbreakable, but then he's had many moments where he's come up small. 00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:24.079 Um, but always is the loudest about you know, shouting out his accomplishments or you know, where his stake is at in history. 00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:27.279 And as someone who's a confident individual, I'm an athlete. 00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:31.599 I shout about a lot of the shit I've done at any point as an athlete. 00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:33.039 I get it, I understand it. 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:43.359 But for me, when it comes in competition

with one other person who they've been putting pitting you against since both of y'all was really lit and really popping again about a decade or so ago. 00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:53.440 Um, and y'all have had this back and forth for so, so long, I do think that it burns him up inside that everyone is starting to consider Messi as the real, real, real GOAT just because he actually is. 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:58.000 Um, and a complete player is one thing, goal scorer is another. 00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:00.960 And I do think that both of these guys score a lot of goals. 00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:04.160 The statistics say that they do. 00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:10.799 Um, but I do think that in Ronaldo's situation, he ain't really got much more than that over top of Messi. 00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:16.559 And Messi is going to be top one or two in multiple categories you can look at as a football player, as a soccer player. 00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.359 Um, and I think that's what gives him the edge over Ronaldo. 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:26.400 And he's won more than Ronaldo, and he's done everything in his career as far as awards bigger than Ronaldo and better than Ronaldo. 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.880 So I don't understand, you know, why this constant back and forth still has to continue. 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:34.480 Uh, but I do think it also continues because the people involved in it, i.e. 00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:38.799 Ronaldo, are opening his mouth to say, like, yeah, I'm the best at this, I'm the best at that. 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:49.920 Like, you know, I uh at some point at this age, you should just be worried about riding out the rest of your career and making the most of your actual experience within the soccer that you have left. 00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:52.799 And Messi has never been one to speak up and call himself the GOAT. 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.920 I think he just goes out there and does what he does and let the people speak for him, which is what I feel like true GOATs do. 00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:03.920 Um, your legacy is left behind you for the other people to talk about, you know, and that's the way I look at it. 00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:10.240 And I know that, you know, I might be coming off a little bit harsh on Ronaldo, but I really just don't fuck with the dude, like as far as personality. 00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:14.559 Player, great player, all time, maybe number two, uh, depending on who you're asking. 00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:19.519 But at the end of the day, bro, we you know we know who the number one is, and just ride it out into the sunset, bro. 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:20.640 Ride it out to the sunset. 00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:33.920 Like, you ain't playing the best football right now compared to Messi in general, and all we're really hearing about from you is more of the stuff off the pitch than on the pitch, which is where it gets even more annoying for a player who's in the twilight of his career, plus 40. 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:35.759 Like, come on, bro, just relax. 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:39.119 Play ball and decide when you want to retire. 00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:40.079 And that's about it. 00:28:40.240 --> 00:28:48.000 Moving on and moving away from the sports world, just a couple other things wanted to touch on, and one of the main things that kind of sat on my heart and spirit this week. 00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:54.559 Uh, after reading or seeing a post that I saw uh on came across my feed on Instagram, I can't find it right now. 00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.240 Uh I won't waste time trying to do that. 00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:22.240 But uh it went into the whole concept of inspiration uh and how people who are inspired by someone else can take that inspiration and then turn it to like hate, you know, um, and how it takes a real self-aware person, how it takes a real confident person to appreciate the inspiration that they receive from others, uh, and then use that for whatever motivation they need or you know can have for their own life or whatever they're trying to achieve. 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:43.839 Um and that one kind of sat with me, man, just because I've been in a state recently to where, and I put out something on my story basically the other day about this, but uh I wanted to further elaborate on it just because I've been in a space of like trying to draw inspiration from different things in different places outside of just myself and my own internal drive. 00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:58.160 Uh, just because uh I feel like those kind of things help me push to you know get further or push for more, or just like you know, my inner competitiveness with myself uh needs something to kind of grasp onto to say, alright, cool, let's get to it, you know. 00:29:58.319 --> 00:30:03.839 Um and uh I do recognize that not everyone feels that way. 00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:13.839 Uh and again, how that process processes for them as people uh can turn into a position to where they really just shit on you and hate on you, you know. 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:22.480 Um and not to say that I am someone who's never felt that way in my life, but I'm not really a paider kind of person. 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:31.519 Like I can appreciate other people doing well, and what I normally do when I see that is uh put it in the lens of like, oh shit, if he can do it, I can do it. 00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:36.559 You know, like if he can get so many followers, then yeah, I can probably do it too. 00:30:36.640 --> 00:30:40.240 If they can get to this dollar X amount, then I can probably do it too. 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:46.559 You know, as a player, if he can get to the point where he's a 35, 40% three-point shooter, then yeah, I can probably do that too. 00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:51.680 You just gotta put the work in and literally get to the solution, which is the goal, you know. 00:30:51.839 --> 00:31:09.839 And I don't think that it gets highlighted enough that the people that don't look at it like that are the ones

that really don't get far in their own life because they're so worried about giving negative energy towards someone else's success that they're not putting enough positive energy into their own success, you know. 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:18.160 And those would be the people that five, ten years down the line you're looking at and they're blaming everyone else for the reason they weren't able to achieve uh XYZ, you know. 00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:30.319 Um, so for me it is important to recognize that others around you can give you inspiration, and it'd be okay with looking at them to say they might be this far ahead of me, but I can catch up to them little by little by little. 00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:34.400 Or maybe as they get further, I get further, and the rising tide lifts all ships, you know. 00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:49.519 And I don't think that mentality is prevalent enough and something that people are more uh supportive of within even more so, you know, just a competitive community like the fitness space, you know. 00:31:49.680 --> 00:32:16.799 Um, and what I do often realize when I get into you know conversations with other trainers, other gym owners now, I'm always checking for the initial reaction to, you know, either how I reach out, either when I reach out to them or when we meet up face to face, you know, uh, because I've always been a person who's big on energy and picking up other people's energy uh off of our interactions and then uh using that for what I need to know outside of what they're saying with their mouth, you know. 00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:34.799 Um and I've been in a position where even myself trying to inspire others, like they would look at it like, you know, it's a negative thing to start hating on me, or copying my moves and then make it their own, and then try to, you know, act like I wasn't the one that either lined them up to do that or was helpful in their process of doing that, you know. 00:32:34.880 --> 00:32:42.079 And I try not to do things for people or try not to put myself into a place of where I do something for you and I'm expecting something back from it. 00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:53.039 Um but I do recognize when uh I do something for someone and then the appreciation and the reciprocation is shown, and that makes me feel like you know I was in the right space with helping them in the first place, you know. 00:32:53.200 --> 00:33:07.119 So I've seen it on that side, but I've also again seen it to where now I feel like I need other people who are doing better than me to be the ones that help, you know, and goes along with the cliche saying of like, you know, you're only as successful as the people you surround yourself with. 00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:38.559 Like I'm at that point now where the people I want to be connected to are usually gonna be the ones that I think can get me a little bit further in my uh in my mission, I would say, and my purpose for myself, you know, and it's not to say that I won't ever be around other people that, you know, aren't of that nature, but at the same time, like I kind of put a lot of those relationships to the to the back burner right now just because the people that love me love me and they know that I'm trying to get to something and they may not hear from me for a little bit, but you know, I'm on a mission. 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:44.240 Or they're gonna see me post something online and be like these I, you know, like ain't no need to really check in that much. 00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:51.759 But the conversations that I really seek out now and the people that I really want to soak energy up from are the ones that I feel like I want to know how they did something. 00:33:51.920 --> 00:34:02.559 I want to know how they were able to execute this, or you know, what they can, you know, what learning curves they can help me overcome uh by giving me some of the game that they've you know learned from themselves. 00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:08.559 And that's the way I I operate with anybody who may be quote unquote behind me and whatever they're chasing, you know. 00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:18.800 And you know my motto and this whole you know EFS thing started with the mentality of if you foreign veins, excuse me, you have acquired knowledge if you do not impart it to others. 00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:33.199 So, you know, for me, if you're not sharing the game and you're a gatekeeping kind of motherfucker, like to me, that that that shows itself that you also are someone, you know, who who may be the one that's hating on the the people that may be inspired dumb and got it, and however have gotten ahead for yourself. 00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:43.599 Because uh I never was a gatekeeping type of person, but I do know that uh it happens very, very much in the training industry, whether it be sports performance training, whether it be skills training, whether it be personal training. 00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:56.159 Like I feel like we hate on each other too much when there should be enough room for us all to grow if we just understand that what we offer is necessary and we just gotta spread it to the point where more people want it, you know. 00:34:56.320 --> 00:35:15.039 And I think we get so crabs in the barrel when it comes to our clients, comes to the people that, you know, we want to uh keep for ourselves, but we won't refer out someone if we know that someone else can help them better, or we won't, you know, just be the person to shout another trainer out or repost another trainer that may be in the area just because we feel like you know it's a threat to us. 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:20.800 And that mentality for me is something I want to put to bed and and really just start to push more positivity in that way. 00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:37.840 Uh, so much so that I do want to start having conversations with other people that are literally direct competitors of me, uh, and then open up for real connection and understanding each other's mission, and then maybe being able to help each other along the way just because the rising tide lifts all ships, you know. 00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:39.679 And I've always been in that perspective. 00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:44.000 Um, but again, I know there's others, another side of it that we always got to weed through. 00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:46.480 Um, but that said, man, that's really it for today. 00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.480 Wanted to tap in with y'all for a couple perspectives, share a couple thoughts. 00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:55.199 Um, and uh as we move forward, you know, we'll we'll start to mix in some of those other combos. 00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:56.960 Guys are people that I've spoken to for sure. 00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:07.039 Um, some people I'm looking to, you know, get on the podcast and start having more in-person conversations to where we are really just bouncing off ideas and connecting, because again, that's what I'm all about. 00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:15.119 Uh so as always, as we leave you, don't forget to stay sharp, stay safe, mentally, physically, spiritually, and all things in between. 00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:16.800 Stay safe in this crazy world. 00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:22.880 And as we are out of here, man, as always, episode number 91 of the EFS Podcast is out. 00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:24.400 Peace later.
