[00:00:03] spk_1: Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of the Life Next Level podcast. I am J

[00:00:09] spk_0: and I'm even

[00:00:10] spk_1: all right. We tried in a new intro there. Let us know what you guys think. I think it worked out well. What did you think? Even

[00:00:18] spk_0: what? It was incredibly seamless. That seemed practice.

[00:00:21] spk_1: Alright. Something to keep going with. We can keep building off

[00:00:24] spk_0: that

[00:00:25] spk_1: one day we'll have an actual podcast that won't just be us talking back and forth. It will be all structured, perfect,

[00:00:33] spk_0: perfect segments

[00:00:35] spk_1: and different

[00:00:36] spk_0: intro music and yeah,

[00:00:39] spk_1: yeah, for sure because I was listening to it the other day and it doesn't really match what's happening anymore and that is what I thought was going to happen, but it's not totally off base, but

[00:00:51] spk_0: it's some random, that's what whatever music is good.

[00:00:56] spk_1: Hey man, that's on you. You said you were going to throw some music together and you're going to put like, get this one going. So let's do it.

[00:01:04] spk_0: You know, I played trombone in high school. So maybe I'll, maybe I'll, maybe I'll come out, come out of left field and record a nice trombone solo.

[00:01:13] spk_1: I would love that. Should I sing with it?

[00:01:16] spk_0: Yeah,

[00:01:18] spk_1: I mean I can't sing, but my buddy, my buddy there, uh, he plays the UKulele pretty well. So maybe we could do like a UKulele trombone special introduced us, getting

[00:01:31] spk_0: the band back together.

[00:01:32] spk_1: Um yeah, actually he's supposed to be joining on on a podcast really soon. He's just been really busy. But he does, his name is eric and he does, he does, he does voiceover. So right when I left Minneapolis, he started doing um, like voiceovers for commercials and stuff. So he has like a couple of national commercials for cheerios and crap like that. He has, its like Hollywood, he has, he has an agent, He can't do stuff without his say so because he was going to do an introduction to this podcast, I was like I don't know if I can I have to talk to my agent.

[00:02:07] spk_0: Yeah. Crazy. That's wow. That's pretty

[00:02:10] spk_1: it's pretty fun though.

[00:02:11] spk_0: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny.

[00:02:14] spk_1: So what you been up to do it? It's been a little bit,

[00:02:16] spk_0: yeah man just uh what have we went up to? Uh I think we're gonna move soon. I'm not exactly sure what uh what city will be with that we we might end up just moving above ourselves right now so we might make a move 10 ft up. You guys get, wow. Yeah. Yeah penthouse. But yeah no so it's been fun to think about that and you know doing whatever else but dabbling, playing with some Cryptocurrency. That's pretty fun. So

[00:02:49] spk_1: yeah that's interesting. I've been looking into it. I have a friend and in Hong kong and she wants to teach me so bad and just like, it's just so much like I'm already studying and taking classes about like I'm just trying to learn, I started investing on my own. Um They have an Ameritrade, I just did an Ameritrade account and I look for like like good deals maybe and try to buy in and try to figure out how long I'll keep it and when I can sell it. So I just started doing that about a couple of months ago and that's already uh blowing my mind. So I've been looking into Cryptocurrency, like she set me up on account of everything. I just like

[00:03:29] spk_0: it's crazy, it's great. It's hard to learn. There's so much to learn, but it's the, I don't know man, it's the future, it's like, It's like the Internet in 1995 coming up. 5000. You know it's about to blow up. It's crazy. It's so interesting. It really is.

[00:03:46] spk_1: I mean not to not to dive too deep into this but I met someone the other day and they were doing they saw like clips of they'd only do it in basketball I think right now but clips of players like online so it's like almost basketball cards. But it's clips of players and then you own that clip like nobody else can own that clip and they go for a lot of money. It's very bizarre.

[00:04:12] spk_0: Yeah. Is that crypto crypto is that an N. F. T. Or

[00:04:17] spk_1: I think it's an N. F. T. I think that's exactly what it is.

[00:04:19] spk_0: Yeah. Yeah. All of the N. F. T. I really don't know much about them. But besides that like there are some crazy ones that people make that go for. Like it's just it's so new and it's too much promise to the technology but it's really like the Wild west and like so you don't know what's good what's not and you can figure it out you know? But like there's all that but just the fact that it's so new it's like literally like yeah just like uh you know it's touched it's definitely there's all kinds of people in it but it's still like a pretty untouched gold mine you know

[00:04:52] spk_1: like it's just I can't I can't wrap my brain around it. I know it's the future and it makes sense but like I can't own something that I don't know I just can't it's pretty good money out for the basketball thing. And usually he's like I'm not even in the basketball I'll watch a game and then whoever is the M. V. P. I'll go by there whatever it's called right away usually within two weeks it's at least tripled in price and then I can sell it for

[00:05:19] spk_0: that for sure. Just

[00:05:22] spk_1: just do that watch a game and get the M. V. P. And do it and I'm like I was looking into it I was just like I have to I just have to understand something before I do it. I can't just.

[00:05:31] spk_0: Yeah there's a lot there's a lot to understand it's wild but it's like you know and one here one thing that I've almost like is the most fun that Bitcoin is like the main you know and that's like the most secure Blockchain because it's been around the longest and whatever and yeah but the person who came up with it nobody knows who it is. They know their name but it's a you don't nobody really knows who it is and there's some people who said there's people who you know like our cited uh with as working with them and whatever but it's still pretty like Mysterious scenario and uh yeah you know and I mean Bitcoin is worth $60,000 you know like like yeah it's just it's wild.

[00:06:16] spk_1: How about data mining? I mean not to go down this rabbit hole, we could talk about this forever but like data mining I almost bought a whole set up to just data mine because I knew a couple people that did it. I was just like they don't do anything once it's set up. You just I don't get it. Yeah

[00:06:31] spk_0: for for crypto too you know. Well that too. That's crazy because like you can't even really mine. Bitcoin anymore because it's from like our position. Uh You can see that's how it works, you still mind it but like people like us and whatever because like as soon basically the you have to buy the top of the top there called a six or whatever but in order to be able to even compete and so like it used to be you could just use like a graphics processing Gpu whatever card and then and get a few of them and then do it. But that got beat out by all kinds of technology and so it's like but you can still do it for other ones. And another thing that's super interesting is like staking, you can like steak some crypto and that's like how you can get like passive income because uh I still don't really understand it a lot but uh yeah it's just super, you don't know what it's like, I don't even know it's there so much to it, it's wild. Wild.

[00:07:31] spk_1: Yeah, it's crazy and I just have to know more. Um but anyway not to go down that rabbit hole because that is not our topic for

[00:07:39] spk_0: today, but

[00:07:40] spk_1: it's very interesting nonetheless. So hopefully nobody tuned out because why are they talking about

[00:07:46] spk_0: crypto

[00:07:49] spk_1: our topic though is, and I didn't know exactly how to put this into words, but what weird thing do you do, or do you avoid, sorry, do you avoid to feel better? Um and this is very broad, but what we're kind of trying to get at is is what do you do that mostly, or what don't you do that most everyone else does, so it kind of makes it weird or you to be in the minority to feel better during the day or about yourself or whatever it may be, so it is still pretty broad, but that's kind of what we're going for. So do you think that's understandable? Even like, okay, I wasn't really sure how we should say that, but so Ethan I'm going to let you go first, My friends.

[00:08:31] spk_0: Yeah, man. Um Yeah, no, what do I avoid doing that? I that to feel better that yeah, I think everybody else does do. I think so, it's almost like a little cliche cliche uh but cliches tend to be so annoying because they're often true, right? Just

[00:08:53] spk_1: cliches are usually true. That's

[00:08:55] spk_0: yeah, but no, I I uh and the other thing is that I'm really not very good at doing this, like I do it a lot. I'm really not good at avoiding doing what I'm going to say, but I try to but basically it's just imagining things negatively. Uh but I'm really trying to like specifically just talk about like the literal process of imagining stuff is really what I mean, because like basically uh you know, the precursor or like the what I want to preface it with is that my wife was reading this book and it was super cool. Uh and basically this guy was talking about how um you know, like imagination is what we use to like in form and like teach our subconscious, and I think that's super interesting because I definitely don't ever think about it like that, and I think we're imagining things all the time, you know, you can't stop thinking. And so we're imagining stuff always, and I think it's really easy, super easy to just not really notice um like the way that we're imagining something, but if I really think about it, like it will be all notice that being challenging to imagine something in the way that I wanted to go, but like, so to really like thinking about all these thoughts was bringing me to this notion that I think a lot of times that we learn to like set the cap on our imagination based on what our expectations are, uh based on the experiences that we've had. And I think that it can equally work the other way and it would be good to teach ourselves to set the cap on our expectations with our imagination. So just the flip of that, you know what I mean? So like um does that make sense? Take the cap off. Yeah, sure yourself. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the thing. And but even in that regard, like, I think a lot of times that is what will start to almost make me perceiving that I'm taking the cap off and can imagine anything will slow me down because because I'll, you know, um that's what we like almost give me an anxiety is picturing so many things. And so like basically just but to your point exactly like, just remembering that you don't have to have a cap on your imagination, but that there probably is one because of what your expectations are.

[00:11:31] spk_1: Yeah, so that's interesting. So number one, what is that book? You know,

[00:11:38] spk_0: I have to or

[00:11:40] spk_1: at least at least let me know, I have to put it in the show notes. It's interesting because, you know, we we've we've talked about this before in a different context though,

[00:11:49] spk_0: um

[00:11:50] spk_1: and I bring this, I brought this up at least twice and podcast, I don't know if they're out there yet, because it's kind of a mishmash of what goes out when scheduled. But um Maxwell malts has this book called psycho cybernetics.

[00:12:03] spk_0: Uh

[00:12:04] spk_1: and he talks often about how your your brain can't tell reality from imagined reality. And so when you're thinking about the negatives of what could possibly happen when things go wrong, you start to act as if things are going wrong. There was he refers to it and I've heard about it before, there was this experiment done with and I'm probably gonna slaughter this, but there was three sets of college basketball players and they did One set actually went out and shot free throws. Um I'm doing a little example of me shooting free throws, which is why you know that I'm not a basketball player anything but but so they actually every day for I want to say I'm just throwing this out there, I'm spitballing. But every day for 30 minutes they would shoot free throws. Then there was another group of basketball players that did nothing, Not a thing. And then there was another group that every day for 30 minutes they, in their mind they shot free throws. And after 30 days it was something crazy. Like the group that didn't do anything didn't get better. The group that actually shot free throws got like, I don't know, like 30% better. And the group that just imagined it every day, like they didn't even do the emotions, they just imagined got like 28%

[00:13:31] spk_0: better. It

[00:13:32] spk_1: was it was a crazy experiment. So I mean, I think there's other experiments like that, but really what what it showed was like just picturing doing things over and over gives you a really good result or a very similar result as doing it every day. And so I mean, I think even when we were going to school for personal training, they would say, who can't remember our teacher's name. She was great, actually, but I can't think of her name,

[00:14:01] spk_0: wow, Katie, Katie,

[00:14:04] spk_1: Katie Katie. And she was saying like, if you imagine a lot of times close your eyes and before you do some reps, imagine doing reps, it helps you to be able to push up more weight is just like the mental aspect of it, like helps your body get ready for it. I mean, it's pretty crazy what you can do mentally exactly. Uh Yeah, so the big thing was like the big takeaway is really that your imagined reality isn't much different from your actual reality as far as your brain is concerned. And so and so we always sit around thinking about the negatives of everything we're doing and what could possibly go wrong. We have this worst case scenario issue, you know? We always play that worst case scenario game with ourselves and we never played the best case scenario game.

[00:14:54] spk_0: Yeah,

[00:14:55] spk_1: so I think absolutely that there's something there that is almost like a self fulfilling prophecy. Yeah, it's when we think it's gonna be bad, we act like it's already bad and then it's just it's just spirals that way, you know?

[00:15:08] spk_0: Right? Well it's

[00:15:09] spk_1: definitely something there.

[00:15:10] spk_0: Yeah and it's just so sneaky. I think it's like the real like crux of it is I just think, you know like basically like you said like you can improve it something just by imagining it and so knowing that you can change how you do something just by imagining it. But then also remembering like we're always imagining we're always you know like we told, you know to function, we just have to and so like um I think it's easy to underestimate, you know, like the repetition of the frequency, like it's easy to underestimate how much energy you end up putting towards something that you don't want to have happen, you know? But you're just trying to look at it so much to see all the nuance and figure out how to avoid it and do whatever. So I feel like it really, really makes sense why, But then it's just like being able to make that little little jump to be like, I could literally be thinking about anything right now, you know? But also to the, to the, to the, you know, just even your mimicking the bench press and thinking about doing the movement. But even like, you know, thinking about a muscle just in general, but literally like picturing or thinking about your glute when you do a glute bridge will totally help to use it as opposed to your hamstring a little bit further south, right? Like, because that's usually what happens is that that's going to take over. And so I just think it's really interesting. There's a ton of times where like, you know, I'll be like, do you feel if, yeah, if I'm training and a person who's doing Blue Bridge will be like, do you feel this in your glutes? And uh they may be like, no, I don't think so, I'll be like, you actually have to consciously think about your black muscle and if you do that will help. And uh it's true, you know, like, it's super, it's super true. There's just like another level of connection to the things that you want to do that

[00:16:56] spk_1: exists. And what was the first thing that we learned, as in as um which is why I love the nasim program because the first thing that you learn, you have to train your brain because all of our connections in our body. So it doesn't seem like you don't think about the bench presses a brain thing, but everything you do right around, it's all connected in your brain, it goes to your muscles, your joints, everything that you do. So yeah, you know, it doesn't make sense even though you would never think about it when you're working out, you didn't know. Um right, But for for a little like a little, a little history because you're right, we're always thinking about the future. The problem is and we don't even want to and the problem is that we're always thinking poorly about the future and what it is. It's just it's just like scientifically or historically, however you want to look at it, it's our brains looking out for us because you know, there was a time, you know with with revolutionized and we were back in this, we revolutionized so fast but we're still, our brains are still back in this safari where when we are going to acquire food for our family, a tired could jump out at us. So we had to think about all the bad that could happen to protect ourselves. Yeah. And um that still is what happens. So that's why we always think about the worst case scenarios because they're just trying to protect us. But that also hinders us because that makes us not go for opportunities because we're scared of what could possibly happen and you know, it makes us give up too soon because it's like, well what if it doesn't work and then I look like an idiot, whatever. Um And even if you want to go historically looking like an idiot, it sounds stupid now, but that was like, it could get kicked out of a tribe 1000 years ago or however long

[00:18:46] spk_0: today. You know like you can get

[00:18:49] spk_1: you kicked out of

[00:18:50] spk_0: like it can get

[00:18:51] spk_1: you kicked out of like a group of

[00:18:53] spk_0: I guess

[00:18:54] spk_1: it would be a tribe, but before it could get you kicked out of a tribe and then you're on your own in the in the safari in your host. You're done at that point. You know? So there's a very real reason that we that we are scared to go on stage and look like an idiot even though like it's like who cares what you look like, Like it was so your failure, you still milk on your face and you go off and you live another day. But that's not always how it was. Yeah. So that's why we feel like that. Anyway. This guy got pretty deep but it's very, very interesting conversation.

[00:19:26] spk_0: Yeah, for sure. Well I think it's really interesting. I feel like I hear that a lot too about, you know, it makes a lot of sense. You know the idea of like these things, these past things that we've learned, you know, you whatever. I feel like it's common. You picture alliance people talk about like we used to we learned to be afraid of, of lions. There are no more lines anymore. You know like there are right but we're not getting hunted by them whatever. And uh, you know, but I think there really is something to to like, you know like uh yeah, that that you know, we're aware of the nuance of like how we'll get judged now too, like how well we'll experience potential negative effects relative to our time in our environment. And so maybe we won't get eaten by something, but maybe if we do something that makes us look stupid, you know, will get less attention from the people that you know, we we hope to get attention from or whatever. And so it's interesting just like that, yeah, basically long story, sure, your brain is always trying to figure out for you how you can be in the best position that it thinks you want to be, but that is where it will keep running that process until it burns out the circuit if you don't kind of jump in there, you know?

[00:20:31] spk_1: Well it's important to understand that that's never gonna stop, it's trying to protect you, you know, it's trying to protect you from the dangers that are out there and in the dangers aren't as dangerous anymore, but it's still trying to protect you from that and uh so that's not going to go away, you just have to learn to work with it, you know, like say hey thank you for protecting me, but now I'm going to think this way and you know, you catch yourself doing and then think positively about the future, think about a successful future because like as much as a few something that doesn't work out like a failure, like you're trying something new, you're starting a business as much as your negative thinking, helps you to fail or causes you to fail positive thinking if you can do it every day well cause you to succeed or help you to succeed

[00:21:15] spk_0: I guess. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, but totally, you know, bringing it because it just stay on topic because I do when I do successfully avoid that negative imagination process, I do feel better. So you know like Really? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:21:30] spk_1: There's no doubt, there's no doubt there's something to it. I mean when I when I beat myself up I walk around and self doubt, it's like I don't make eye contact with people because I've read these books like I know what's happening and it still doesn't. Sometimes you just have those days and I'll walk around and self doubt and I'm not the same person, I'm not smiling at other people, like avert their eyes, their gaze. You know, I look at I look away, whereas when I'm happy I'm smiling people, I'm saying hi, how are you doing? And it's just a totally different meat and if you don't if you don't think that just even that like being a happier and more positive person before uh, I'm the, if you're happy and more positive, better things are gonna happen than if you're more negative, I'm the opposite end of the spectrum. And typically the happier, more positive person are going to succeed more than the more negative person. It's just, it's just how it is. And uh, like when people say people have luck, it's literally because they are more positive in their their on this, like they're accepting of the things that come their way and the people that don't have luck, luck and pass them right in the face, but they're in a bad mood or their whatever, so they don't even see it.

[00:22:44] spk_0: Yeah, Yeah, yeah, for sure. It totally is that seeing it part that you mentioned, you know, like that the more positivity, the more, the wider your aperture is, you know, of being able to see this stuff as compared to uh yeah, the little pinhole you're looking through when uh when things are looking rough to you, you know like. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:23:10] spk_1: I mean I literally think you create your own luck in that aspect. Sometimes love just happens. But it's a lot of times the people that get quote unquote lucky, they're they're open to it, they are more positive and they're just like this stuff is gonna work out for me and and it does so they're just more open to it.

[00:23:28] spk_0: Yeah.

[00:23:30] spk_1: Yeah. Well damn man, that's uh no, I feel I feel like I don't like mine anymore. Is

[00:23:37] spk_0: it? What is it j saying accept

[00:23:39] spk_1: it actually it kind of plays into it well, so mine's a little bit more, it's not quite so deep, but it kind of gets their uh what do I avoid that? That most people don't basically to make myself feel better. I don't watch the news freaking ever. I hate the news. I can't stand it. It's the most negative thing on the planet. Yeah. And like everyone that watches it is never in a good mood after they watch it. I don't even watch it for the weather man. Just like whatever happens outside, I'll deal with it at that time. Um And I think that kind of goes to a little bit what we're talking about anyway because we love negative news as like a species. We love it and that's why all news is negative. Um There's that, there's that stupid quote which I hate but it's very true. If it bleeds it leads. Um I've listened to this uh this guy, he doesn't podcast now. I can't remember. It's a very popular one. It's been around for a while. He used to be on a big news station and he was like, I had to quit, like there's a helicopter crash and everyone needs to be the first one there and that first news station that's their makes so much more money than the other ones and it's just all about like all this bad shit that happens and everyone wants to be the first one there and you have to report on it and you never hear any of the good news. You know, you never hear the good stuff that's going on because there's plenty of it. And uh so I avoid the news like the plague. I can't, I can't, I haven't, I mean it's been at least five years since I've turned on any news ever or went to CNN or went went to MSNBC. I don't go to it, I don't like it so I avoid the hell out of

[00:25:21] spk_0: it. Well, I'm like, I think uh yeah, I think the one thing that's interesting of how it does, you know, uh it's interesting to pay attention to like, I feel that a person's reason for watching the news right? Like is under the purview of staying informed, which is good and that's great. But then like the idea of that, a lot of times like that, what bleeds leads statement in terms of like, you know, you see something that looks gruesome like that or whatever and your brain is going to immediately imagine, you know, like that. And uh and specifically like I'm just saying, you know, we're always looking out for what we have to look out for and so, you know, you're going to imagine, you know, the news wants to um yeah, you know, uh play into that and uh and say, oh, you better, you know, like, you better be aware of this so it doesn't happen to you. You know, like, and then you see it happening to you and like, you know, Yeah. Yeah. I think you nailed

[00:26:19] spk_1: it actually. You nailed it because I looked it up because I'm like, why do we all want to do so much? Why? Uh, here's another question. Why does when you're on 222 lane highway or sorry, like separated highway where there's two lanes over here and two lanes over here and they're separated. Why is the other side where the accident doesn't even happen? Why are they backed up because of the doctor slowdown? Right? Same reason as the news. Like your your we're we're wired to look for what happened to look for the bad things that happened so we can learn from it. So it doesn't happen to us.

[00:26:55] spk_0: Yeah.

[00:26:56] spk_1: You know, which makes sense. It's like that's the great thing about what we can do is humans in the communication that we can have and how we can think is that like that's why we love stories so much right? Like because back in tribal days for example, somebody got away from a line. So you sit around the campfire and they're like how did you get away from the line? And then they tell the story and we just think it's an engaging story, but we're learning from it, we learn from it. So the next time we see line we're like, oh I'm gonna do what that guy did, you know? Um So it's getting very deep into it. But that's really why we are so addicted to the news and that's why the news always show us bad news. That's not, I mean, yes it is to keep informed. So maybe I'm not informed about everything. But I like the important stuff I still learn and understand about and if I want to look into it more, I'll look into it more right? Um So I still hear about it. But You know I had this his girlfriend and she would watch the news 24/7 and she would call me at nine a.m. After she got to work and already be pissed because of things that are happening in the world. I mean it sucks and then she would get mad at me for not like like well I mean I could look at something to ruin my day every day and it would ruin my day. But what is the purpose of that? You know like I can't be myself if I'm depressed all day every day, that's what would happen. So I mean I'm not I'm not I'm not trying to poo poo stuff that happens to people, but I mean if we just walked around depressed about all the bad shit that happens in the world every day, that's what good are we, you know? And obviously sent into the spectrum, there's good stuff that happens all the time too, but we never hear about it because there's not a there's not a news network, there's not a tv network that does that, although I've had it in the back of my mind that we should create one, I just don't know how to do it and probably no one to watch

[00:28:50] spk_0: it. Yeah, well and the thing too, you know because yeah, because I think it's a bounce, you know, like I think, I think there's a lot of stuff that, you know, Yeah, that does continue on or it's easier more easily propagated because of a scenario where people are just unaware of it, you know? And so like to that point, you know, that is where it's like, yeah, you know, um, like I think it's easy to turn a blind eye the stuff too sometimes, you know, and be like, oh, I don't want to be sad, so I'm gonna ignore this thing, you know? Which is like, which is a balance. I do think because I think that like to your, to your point, you know, like, um, if you're just doing that all day, like you're not, you aren't going to get anywhere, You're not going to be able to get anywhere. But I think if you, if you can work something out where a person is able to pay attention, but that's what I was going to say that it's funny because these days the news, you know, like the news used to mean, you know, one thing like these few channels that you can look at and now, you know, like the news is like news is everywhere, basically. That's what I'm saying is that I also, you know, I never watch like network news or whatever anymore either because you can tailor what you learn about, you know, so much more with the internet and whatever, you know, you can look up the stuff that feels important and you can cross reference stuff how you want, but you can take that on um, oneself, you know, and so yeah, I think it really, really, truly though, is like easy to get stuck in a scenario where um, you get so bogged down by all the stuff that you get to a point where you are effectual anymore, you know,

[00:30:29] spk_1: I mean? Okay, so and where does it end? Right, like, so people get mad at me because I don't watch the news sometimes and I mean that's my conscious choice. I'm not trying to be ignorant of stuff. I know better stuff is happening in things that affect me or my family or my friends, I tried to keep in tune with, but where does it end? Like, you know, people get down on me and I'm like, well what about the war in cambodia? Well, that doesn't affect me that they would say, and I'm like, well it affects me, you know, like I have friends in cambodia and a friend that I talked to about that war, like his family still stuck there and he's in Thailand actually right now. And so I talked to him about it, but I'm not gonna watch like, like where does it end? There's bad news everywhere. So is it just like so weird? Like is it just the area that you're from, or is it the bad news all over the world? Because I mean, I was just, they're just bad news everywhere. So where does it where do you stop?

[00:31:26] spk_0: Yeah. Yeah.

[00:31:29] spk_1: Yeah. They put that there's good news everywhere too, and that's never reported on. So like, where's the good news coming in at the very least of balance out the bad news. I'm not just going to watch bad news all the time. It's just it's just pointless to me. It makes no sense.

[00:31:42] spk_0: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I really think that is a, you know, like a big reason why we're really like, because because the, you know, like the referring to the word news in general like refers to, you know, something that's important to pay attention to as compared to not and like, you know, you talk about how, like, there's bad news everywhere, but there's good news everywhere and like, and that's the thing, like, that is, that's why it's so challenging or whatever is because there's just, you know, like, uh, there's news everywhere, you know, like, it's all sides. I don't know if you can say it's an even balance or what, because I don't know what the metric is, but the point is that it's like, all of it exists, it's all here and you know, and so that's where it's like, really, you know, same as, um, you know, like, like I could see somebody putting it in terms of like, you know what I want to be fit, but what am I going to spend all my time working out? You know? And it's like, well, no, you know, it's a, it's a balance, you know, you're gonna do fit and there will be days where you'll do more days where you'll do less and if you get caught up in paying attention to that, like I need to, you know, be this thing now, I need to be fit now, then that's going to really like, that's a tough expectation to meet. Just like if you're like, I need to know everything that's going on so I can be informed enough to fix it all. Not going to happen. Not going to happen. You

[00:33:03] spk_1: just nailed a huge point Because most 99.9% of the time we can't do anything about it. It's just bad news that we here. It's not like we can go out and fix that bad news. Like if there's something that happens in my family or my friends and I hear about it because I will right I can do something to help that situation. Uh huh How often are you listening to the news that you can do anything to help any situation? You know what I mean? It's just just bad news that here.

[00:33:32] spk_0: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah and I think too like again, you know, it's crazy just how like easy it is to, you know, bad news starts to just mean one thing, you know, like I feel like right now we're picturing it in terms of just like accidents basically or like these people died here. These people are killed here or whatever and stuff like that. And, and, and yeah and so I think it's like that choke hold that the news and news networks do have on stuff in terms of like, you know, make like there's a perception that we have of what news is in the first place and like I think that's the, you know the point. But I think the other point to, you know, to your point is that, well, I don't know if it's to your point or whatever, but I think um to your defense, you know, if you want to talk to you want to talk about people, you know, coming down on you for whatever. You know, I think that as long as the person is attempting to like be connected and empathetic, you know, like that's all that matters. So I feel like it's a it's a tragedy if you know, a person is unaware of something that's happening that they could affect, you know, in really subtle it's like doing something differently or whatever, but that's where like you don't need the news to be um able to attempt to as much as you can be helpful and empathetic, you know? And so there are balances, there are totally ways that, that can get balanced out, you know,

[00:35:02] spk_1: yep, Absolutely, I totally agree. Well, we killed our normal run time, I'm pretty sure.

[00:35:10] spk_0: Yeah, I wish it showed that

[00:35:12] spk_1: I don't do a timer anymore and I should, uh, but I'm pretty sure we slaughtered it, but

[00:35:19] spk_0: uh,

[00:35:20] spk_1: and any final thoughts and then we'll end this thing because user listeners are probably like, okay guys, you're

[00:35:29] spk_0: here for the change

[00:35:30] spk_1: up already,

[00:35:31] spk_0: enjoy the combo. Yeah, man, that's that's, you know, that's about it.

[00:35:37] spk_1: All right, well, we appreciate everyone for tuning in and we'll see you next time on the left next level podcast. See you. Uh oh.
