Transcription
00:00:09.700 --> 00:00:12.800
The Spartan mind strength podcast the podcast
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.100
for mental grit and resilience.
00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:19.100
hosted by Vie Binga and Tim Ganley
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.500
Hello, this is Tim. And this is Vie, and we welcome you
00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:33.300
to another episode of the spartan mind strength
00:00:33.300 --> 00:00:36.500
podcast. So brain, what are we gonna talk about today?
00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.400
Yay today on the brain! Yeah.
00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:44.200
ayurveda for mental health part 4
00:00:44.800 --> 00:00:46.800
Stay tuned. We'll be right back.
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:58.800
It's Pinky and the Brain it's Pinky and
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.600
the brain one is a genius the
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.900
other is insane. One of my favorite cartoons amazing
00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:07.100
amazing cartoon. I would watch it
00:01:07.100 --> 00:01:12.200
every day when it was out. I loved it. So brain tell
me about the brain.
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.700
Oh, wow. Yeah, that was a great lead. I
00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:18.600
didn't even see that coming.
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:22.700
I wonder who the brain is? Yeah, well actually
00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:25.800
was Pinky the insane
00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:28.000
one or was the brain the insane one. We don't know
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.500
because
00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:35.200
the pinky seemed to be more of the genius. Sometimes
there is a fine line between
00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:36.600
genius
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.400
And insane there's a
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.800
very fine line. I don't walk that line at all. Okay, let's
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.400
talk about the brain the brain the brain
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:46.100
the brain.
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:49.800
When we say the brain when we
00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:55.600
say brain, actually we mean mind
right in the more abstract sense
00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:58.800
of the word mind the
00:01:58.800 --> 00:02:04.100
brain the brain is specific organ,
right? You can actually touch it. You can
00:02:04.100 --> 00:02:07.300
actually touch it if you cut yourself open and pull it
00:02:07.300 --> 00:02:10.900
out. Yes, just like the heart just like the liver liver
00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:13.200
actually brain makes for some good
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:16.200
food. Yes. Yes, but not a human brain.
00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:19.100
Not the human brain. No, no. No, we're not.
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.400
No, kicking in the cannibalism here. Are
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.400
you no no, no. No I was
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.400
with some. What was it chiante?
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:30.600
That was a good movie. Yes, it was.
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:37.600
Okay talking about the mind
right ayurveda for mental
00:02:37.600 --> 00:02:38.100
health.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.700
Going back to charaka the original ayurvedic
physician.
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:49.400
Charika was saying that the body
affects the mind and the
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:50.900
mind affects the body. Yes.
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.200
They are all connected and you cannot
00:02:54.200 --> 00:02:57.900
look at one without looking
00:02:57.900 --> 00:02:58.600
at the other.
00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:02.800
whenever you talk about physical health pretty
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:08.900
much you're talking about mental health whenever you
are talking about mental health, you're talking about physical health because
00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:11.500
both of them play off of each other if you're
00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:14.300
healthy and body your mind is more likely to be
00:03:14.300 --> 00:03:17.900
healthier exactly doesn't mean it is that's
00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:18.900
key.
00:03:20.300 --> 00:03:26.600
Go ahead. It's more of a percentage exactly more
of more of a probability. Yes,
00:03:26.600 --> 00:03:29.600
right. healthy body does
00:03:29.600 --> 00:03:31.000
not imply
00:03:31.700 --> 00:03:34.000
Healthy Mind necessarily
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:37.400
and a healthy mind doesn't always imply for
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:41.600
a healthy body exactly. It's not a
causation.
00:03:42.600 --> 00:03:48.700
It's a correlation but it's not a causation,
but we can say that if you're healthy
00:03:48.700 --> 00:03:51.700
in your body, you're more you are happier
00:03:51.700 --> 00:03:54.200
or more content healthier in your mind.
00:03:54.200 --> 00:03:57.700
Exactly that you can say. Okay chances
00:03:57.700 --> 00:03:59.000
are higher
00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:03.400
So if you're unhealthy, you're feeling pain usually and
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.100
if you're feeling pain, it's hard to be healthy in the
00:04:06.100 --> 00:04:09.700
mind exactly and vice versa.
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.600
So charaka was saying you have to
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:16.200
always address both. Yes.
00:04:18.200 --> 00:04:21.900
And that actually makes it very simple for
00:04:21.900 --> 00:04:22.400
us.
00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:26.600
The blueprint that he's giving to say, okay
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.800
what to do we do. What
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.200
are the basics
00:04:31.900 --> 00:04:34.800
To actually treat our body
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.800
right to keep it healthy.
00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:41.800
Maybe we can do something similar (puppy asking for a break)
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.200
Oh oh our puppy needs to take
00:04:46.200 --> 00:04:50.200
a break. We'll be right back to talk about the brain and Pinky.
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.700
After we take puppy potty stay tuned.
00:05:02.900 --> 00:05:05.400
So we're back and puppy went potty
00:05:05.400 --> 00:05:08.900
very quickly. Yeah, and that was a lot of potty. she's
00:05:08.900 --> 00:05:11.700
been training. She's been housebroken
00:05:11.700 --> 00:05:14.400
and she loves to hang out in our in her
00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:17.400
she shed. Yes during the daytime when it's
00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:20.500
not nice outside, but now it's nice outside. So
00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:26.200
we might not hear her for a little bit. She's chewing
on her Pig ear. Yeah. She loves
00:05:26.200 --> 00:05:29.700
that eating. Yummy. Yummy
00:05:29.700 --> 00:05:30.200
Pig ear.
00:05:30.900 --> 00:05:32.600
so continue
00:05:33.700 --> 00:05:36.200
so we were saying that charaka is
00:05:36.200 --> 00:05:39.400
giving us a blueprint when it comes to
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:42.700
the mind. What is it how is it
00:05:42.700 --> 00:05:47.100
that we keep our body healthy. Let's
look at that.
00:05:48.100 --> 00:05:51.700
And maybe we can do something similar for the
00:05:51.700 --> 00:05:54.800
mind to keep our body healthy
00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:00.400
We have some basic rules say
there's now there's a lot of things that
00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:03.400
you can go into categories into the basic
00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:04.700
rule, so it's not just
00:06:05.700 --> 00:06:08.700
Like four pillars. Yes, there's multiple
00:06:08.700 --> 00:06:11.100
categories of it. Yes, if you
00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:14.400
want to get really in-depth, but we're gonna just hit the
00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:16.200
the basics the very basics the very
00:06:17.500 --> 00:06:18.200
absract
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:20.700
Our body needs rest.
00:06:22.200 --> 00:06:26.900
Some some sort of rest. Okay, you sleep you
00:06:26.900 --> 00:06:29.500
get quiet time get
00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.500
quiet time get a nap
00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:35.600
or something That's you do a day
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.700
or two off of a heavy workout. Exactly exactly let your body heal.
That's the rest.
00:06:41.700 --> 00:06:47.500
We'll call that rest our body needs
nutrient dense and
00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:53.600
diverse food, right?
It's a given that you can't
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:56.800
have a healthy body eating
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:02.700
junk food overly processed
food all the time, right? You need
00:07:02.700 --> 00:07:05.400
nutrient dense and diverse food
00:07:05.400 --> 00:07:06.900
and then the other
00:07:07.900 --> 00:07:13.300
thing the other category is you
need some sort of
00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:19.400
physical movement right some sort
of physical challenge, right? You
00:07:19.400 --> 00:07:22.500
can't just sit on your
00:07:22.500 --> 00:07:24.700
butt or do the same thing.
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:31.200
All the time even people who have jobs where
you have to stand a lot, right? That's still
00:07:31.200 --> 00:07:34.800
not you can't say. Well, that's my workout. That's
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:35.400
my movement.
00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:39.900
You still have to do something you still have to do something else.
00:07:39.900 --> 00:07:42.800
You still have to challenge
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.900
your body differently from the
00:07:45.900 --> 00:07:47.200
routine. Yes.
00:07:48.100 --> 00:07:54.500
So those are our three categories for the body, right? Okay, we
can transfer those we
00:07:54.500 --> 00:08:00.800
can see how these Concepts fit in
our mind. Okay. So the
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.600
first concept you talked about is rest the rest.
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.500
Yes how so resting the
00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:09.500
body taking a day or two off of after a
00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:12.800
heavy workout just to do I know the old bodybuilding stuff
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.700
is chest and triceps on
00:08:15.700 --> 00:08:18.700
Monday back and biceps on Tuesday legs on
00:08:18.700 --> 00:08:21.200
Wednesday. You took Thursday off and then
00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:24.700
you could do a full body on or aerobics
00:08:24.700 --> 00:08:27.700
or on whatever so you
00:08:27.700 --> 00:08:30.500
had a following I haven't done body
00:08:30.500 --> 00:08:33.300
building in so long. I'm glad I don't have to remember that
00:08:33.300 --> 00:08:36.200
anymore. But in body weight training
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.100
you can do still a whole bunch
00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:45.600
of different things. You can do this for this body part and something different
the next day. Yes, like today we sprinted.
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.900
Yes puppy love sprinting by the way. Puppy loves sprinting
00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:51.400
I am so happy. I'm so happy.
00:08:51.400 --> 00:08:54.200
She loves it. So we were able to do that
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:57.500
where tomorrow will probably do a
00:08:57.500 --> 00:08:59.900
lot of more mellow
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:04.300
Stretches. Yes, so do and I
00:09:04.300 --> 00:09:07.800
don't like using stretches sun salutations breath
00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:13.600
work, even though we do breath work pretty much daily. But
tomorrow will be more breath work. It'll be
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.900
more eye exercises next stretches.
00:09:17.900 --> 00:09:20.800
So we're gonna rehab body basically,
00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:23.200
so that's that's your rest for
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.800
the body. What is your rest for the mind?
00:09:27.900 --> 00:09:30.700
The rest for the mind is
00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:33.600
doing as little with
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.600
it as possible. Okay. So
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.200
if you go ahead when I say that I
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:43.800
mean instead of thinking about everything that
00:09:43.800 --> 00:09:44.300
you
00:09:44.800 --> 00:09:46.600
always think about
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:48.500
just
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.800
focus on something in particular
00:09:52.800 --> 00:09:55.100
that doesn't require
00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:59.500
a thought process so that would fall into would
00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:05.500
that fall into concentration exercise. Yes. Exactly. Okay,
so concentration exercise which is
00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:08.500
way before meditation way before
00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:15.500
meditation, but it's actually more important than meditation exactly.
It's concentration contemplation meditation.
00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:18.400
You can't get to
00:10:18.400 --> 00:10:24.700
meditation. If you are not able to
concentrate and contemplate. So
00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:27.200
all those people that meditate daily are full of
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:27.700
s***.
00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:31.700
Most of them statistically, let's put
00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:32.200
it that way.
00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:36.800
So the for concentration you
00:10:36.800 --> 00:10:39.400
pick something you you listen
00:10:39.400 --> 00:10:42.100
to a bird say I know in one of my
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.100
courses we focused on
00:10:45.100 --> 00:10:48.800
a deity. Yes. So...

00:01:41.800 --> 00:01:44.600
that is real ayurveda
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:48.200
according to charaka. Okay commercial over.
00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:52.100
Who we talking about today? And why are we
00:01:52.100 --> 00:01:55.100
talking about that person? We are talking about one of
00:01:55.100 --> 00:01:58.700
the greatest presidents of all time and the greatest
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:01.400
general of all time. I think I
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:01.400
know.
00:02:02.500 --> 00:02:05.200
But I am not going to say you love saying his name
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.100
Ulysses S Grant. Yes now he
00:02:08.100 --> 00:02:11.600
was he was became a
00:02:11.600 --> 00:02:11.800
general.
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:16.300
He assisted in winning the Civil
00:02:16.300 --> 00:02:19.600
War. Yes, and then afterwards he became
00:02:19.600 --> 00:02:22.300
a two-time president of the United States.
00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:25.300
Yes. So I do know that I also know
00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:28.900
a lot about the history of him as a
00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:32.300
Civil War General. Yes, but why would
00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:34.700
a warrior a general
00:02:34.700 --> 00:02:37.900
a fighter have an ayurvedic
00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:38.200
mind?
00:02:40.900 --> 00:02:42.200
Ulysses S Grant
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.600
Had a tri-doshic
00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:48.500
mind. He's a book
00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:51.300
picture. He's not the only one there are several
00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:52.600
people in history
00:02:53.600 --> 00:02:56.800
Who are book pictures of a tri
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.200
doshic mind
00:02:59.600 --> 00:03:03.700
So Ulysses S Grant had kapha
00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:08.500
Had pitta and had vata. Okay,
00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.500
but this is in the mind. It's
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:13.300
not - in the mind. We're not talking
00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:17.100
about his body. Nope, and we're not talking about his emotions.
00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:19.200
Nope. We're talking about his mental
00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:21.900
Capacity. Yes, so
00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:25.900
It doesn't matter if he was completely vata body.
00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:29.600
That has nothing to do with the mind. So,
00:03:29.600 --> 00:03:33.100
can you just explain a little bit about the
00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:34.300
whole concept of
00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:38.600
Body versus mind versus emotions because
00:03:38.600 --> 00:03:41.500
I know a lot of people say well I'm thin so
00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:45.200
I'm vata or I'm fat So I'm kapha. What
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:48.200
what's the difference between body and
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:50.900
mind the difference Is that
00:03:50.900 --> 00:03:53.600
the body we are born
00:03:54.100 --> 00:03:57.900
with it and that's it. That's the physical aspect and
00:03:57.900 --> 00:04:00.300
then we use what we are
00:04:00.300 --> 00:04:03.700
born with to the best of our ability
00:04:04.500 --> 00:04:08.300
but our mind and our
00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:09.200
emotions
00:04:10.200 --> 00:04:14.200
But more importantly our mind we have
00:04:13.200 --> 00:04:17.700
full control over on
00:04:16.700 --> 00:04:19.500
making it the best
00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:23.100
we can what we are born with mentally
00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:27.400
Can completely shift throughout our life and
00:04:27.400 --> 00:04:30.200
should and should shift throughout our
00:04:30.200 --> 00:04:33.400
life for most people should shift throughout the
00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:37.300
life as long as they do the work. Okay, that's
00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:39.400
the thing, you know with a body
00:04:39.900 --> 00:04:42.500
say, okay. Well someone
00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:45.300
will say well I'm born with a nose that I don't like I
00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:48.200
can do plastic surgery. Yes. Someone else does it for
00:04:48.200 --> 00:04:48.800
you, right?
00:04:50.700 --> 00:04:53.200
I don't know, I've had mine, well actually yeah because somebody
00:04:53.200 --> 00:04:56.500
else punched it several times. so it did change it exactly
00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:59.500
so so yeah physically we are born with say
00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:02.800
a certain height right certain height certain
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:03.200
skeleton.
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:06.800
We can't really change the height
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.700
and the skeleton say right that's
00:05:09.700 --> 00:05:12.400
it. So we take advantage of it for
00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:15.600
sports for whatever we can change the muscle mass and
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.300
we can change the fat man exactly and we can change
00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:22.400
our digestive system. Yes. Right? So, but
00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:25.000
the rest of it really doesn't
00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:27.300
shift that much doesn't shift so we can use
00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:30.300
that to become either a better athlete a better
00:05:31.700 --> 00:05:35.100
Anything that you're looking toward being exactly
00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:37.200
better dancer, better actor,
00:05:37.200 --> 00:05:40.900
whatever. So but the
00:05:40.900 --> 00:05:43.300
mind but the mind yeah,
00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:46.500
we have hundred percent control over.
00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:50.600
And we can make it completely different
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.300
that what we are born with.
00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:54.900
now but
00:05:55.700 --> 00:05:59.200
Go ahead. Go ahead. We have to do the work. Yes now
00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:02.400
and I'm gonna go back to Grant. He
00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:04.500
actually had a
00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:07.200
lot of bad things happen to him. Oh, yes, so
00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:10.500
he was depressed at sometimes in his life. He was excited at
00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:13.600
sometimes in his life. He was happy. He had all different types
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.500
of things. He was broke. He his businesses
00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:19.300
crashed and burned he sucked at a
00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:19.800
lot of different things.
00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:24.800
But his ayurvedic mind is what shifted
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.700
him to be one of the greatest and most known people
00:06:27.700 --> 00:06:30.000
ever born. Yes.
00:06:30.900 --> 00:06:31.100
so
00:06:32.200 --> 00:06:35.800
why it's or not
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:38.300
why but he was in
00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:41.200
terrible shape earlier in age in
00:06:41.200 --> 00:06:44.400
fact he would drag he would cut wood just to
00:06:44.400 --> 00:06:47.500
sell to try to feed his family. Yes he was very very
00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:50.800
poor. Yeah, but yet he shifted
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.600
into becoming the greatest
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.200
General in the world.
00:06:56.700 --> 00:06:59.400
He always did what he had
00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:00.000
to do.
00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:04.700
Like when he was selling firewood, right?
00:07:04.700 --> 00:07:07.800
He was solving the problem of poverty
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.100
according to him. That's what he had to
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:14.500
do. He he had to make money somehow so he
00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:17.300
had three characteristics
00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:20.700
That are very very interesting
00:07:21.700 --> 00:07:24.800
and very actually basic when
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.000
you think about them, at least ayurvedically
00:07:27.700 --> 00:07:31.200
The first characteristic is he had steadiness
00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:32.500
of nerves.
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.300
He was after certain point in his
00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:39.700
life He was allowing
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.200
very few things
00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:44.700
to throw him off.
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.500
In fact, there was a story about him having his
00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:51.100
picture taken and for some reason they had
00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:56.300
to go on the roof and open up a whatever Skylight
00:07:55.300 --> 00:07:58.400
and it broke and all
00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:01.300
the glass fell down all around him, but he didn't jump
00:08:01.300 --> 00:08:04.400
at all. It didn't bother him at all. Yes.
00:08:05.200 --> 00:08:09.100
And that's the steadiness of nerves. That's the kapha in
00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:11.100
the mind stability.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:13.800
stability of nerves
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.700
Calm composed so kapha is
00:08:17.700 --> 00:08:20.600
Not a Bad Thing. kapha is a great great
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:23.800
thing in the mind. So kapha in
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.700
the mind. Yes, when it's in in balance
00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:29.100
It is it is an asset. It's
00:08:29.100 --> 00:08:32.400
steadiness of nerves. What is kapha out of
00:08:32.400 --> 00:08:34.900
balance in the mind. It is apathy.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.100
It is not caring about anything not
00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:41.500
caring to do anything. It's a
00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:44.400
form of depression and we know he didn't have that.
00:08:44.400 --> 00:08:47.700
He didn't have that during the Civil War because of letters
00:08:47.700 --> 00:08:50.800
he wrote exactly so he wasn't he was
00:08:50.800 --> 00:08:53.800
excited about saving the
00:08:53.800 --> 00:08:56.800

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.300
allowed him to actually not show
00:09:38.300 --> 00:09:42.300

00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:54.500

00:09:54.500 --> 00:09:58.300
