Episode Transcript

Preston (00:01):
I haven't been on here forever.
How are you doing, Michael?

Michael (00:04):
I'm doing good, man.
As that's to say relative, it'salways such a relative term.
And good seems like sometimeswatered down, but this past week
has been a struggle.
The sickness was real.
The whole family had it.
You had it last week it justmakes everything take, it feels
like more work and, makes methankful that I spent the time

(00:28):
kind of building up in advanceof it to just get to the point
where I had the.
Energy and stored up to, to pushmy way through.
Cause I worked the whole week.
I didn't take any time off.
But I worked from home and itwas, it was a slog to be honest
with you, it was one of the,probably like the hardest weeks

(00:50):
I've had in a while.
Just because of the energylevel, prevailed and making it
here.
And one of the things that I'mexcited about, certainly that we
haven't mentioned to ourlisteners yet is the change of
our, release date in the week toMondays.
And yeah, we just pulled a fastone on them last week and We

(01:13):
were thinking as a team Scott,who's not here today, but but
you and I had talked aboutbriefly, giving us the weekends
to get a little bit morediligent and have the time to,
to edit and get some of thatstuff done that we haven't been
doing at the exact level wewanted to.
Yeah, I'm excited about it.
I think Mondays are going to bea good cadence but, yeah, it's

(01:35):
been, so that was like the majordecision related to the podcast
this week, but yeah, how's itbeen for you coming out of the
sickness?

Preston (01:44):
Yeah, it's been a it's just more been a pain in the ass
if I'm like gonna be totallyhonest with you Cuz I don't know
if I had COVID or the flu or acold because it's like there's
to me There's no point in goingin getting tested because
there's no exactly there's nocure for Either of them, any
three of them so it's just

Michael (02:01):
like, same prescription, rest, water,

Preston (02:04):
rest, go to the doctor and whatever I do have, give it
to folks in the office.
And it's it's just, it'spointless to me.
So it was just and my whole mywife had it, my kids both had
it.
And it was just It's beensnowing here in Tennessee, which
I know that's no big deal toy'all Minnesotans but down here,

(02:26):
it's yeah, we get snow here,usually about once a year, and
it will only last usually onlylast a couple hours, maybe a
day, but it has been cold asballs here, like the roads are
frozen.
So everything's a bit of a noone has snow tires here and
knows how to drive.
So it's a, It's just been aweird week with even with work

(02:47):
we been going in and deliveringsome stuff because they got main
roads cleared out, but all theside roads are like skating
rinks right now and stuff, whichis.
Fun, but there's

Michael (03:02):
I don't mind the cold.
I don't mind the snow, but youcombine it with driving in the
ice and some of those types ofthings.
Definitely not a fan, but haveplenty of experience with it
over the years, but I'll stayaway if I can.
Yeah.
It's just

Preston (03:17):
not cause once the, even if you have experience and
stuff, like when the roads.
When it's raining and thenfreezing and you like have a
skating rink road, it's likeyou, you have to have chains on
your tires.
And even then it's still eh, Idon't know, but

Michael (03:33):
yeah, man, I, yeah, I'm looking forward to, I usually
get a cold like once or twice ayear that, and like you said, I
wasn't sure if it was COVID orwhat, I'm still not at a hundred
percent, but I can tell that I'mback on the way towards it.
I have the energy today to go doa hard workout and some of those

(03:54):
types of things, which is a goodsign.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to thenext couple of weeks and really
crunched out a ton of workdespite my condition, this past
week.
So that felt good to get a lotof stuff over the finish line
and kicked off.

Preston (04:13):
Hell yeah.
I got I got in the cold plungetoday for the first time in over
a week, which was mentally likereally tough to do.
Because the last time I got in,it was it's been cold here,

Michael (04:29):
but you don't break through ice, right?

Preston (04:32):
Yeah, it's like you take it just, it's never really
been easy for me to do it.
Like it's always like getting inis like always mentally a tough
challenge for me once I'm in.
I feel great.
And like the next few hours, Ifeel even better.
And it's I don't know why I makea big deal about this, but yeah,
after not going in for over aweek my, my pool was frozen

(04:53):
solid.
So I had to hatchet the wholething, had to make a hole in
stuff.
So I spent like 20 minutes doingthat.
And it's that's the fun partwhen it's, when you got to get
in and there's ice around you,like it almost levels it up to
this.

Michael (05:08):
Yeah, that's a little bit more extreme.
My my brother, he's out inColorado, right?
I'm going to head down there fora one day work trip, but I'm
planning on swinging out his wayand Conifer.
And he just got the giant, morecommercial type of water bucket

(05:29):
out there.
Oh, he got like a watercirculator, so it doesn't freeze
or

Preston (05:35):
some My pool pump is gone.
Cause I've been using it all.
I didn't turn it off this year.
And so like the middle of mypool is not frozen.
There's like a little river inthe middle, but the edges, it, I
guess it wasn't moving enough.
And it's it's about two and ahalf inches thick, like around
the edges.
Cause it's been, really

Michael (05:56):
cold here.
Yeah, definitely be careful ofthat.
Like pump can get ruined if it'sfrozen.

Preston (06:03):
The pump, that's why I haven't turned it off.
Cause it's I don't want it to.
So it's, the water's frozenabove it, but like the, suction,
everything's running fine.
Like I've been keeping an eye onthat big time because yeah, I
don't want it to break, but, andI used it, I recorded it all,
put a reel up on reclaiming man.

(06:23):
So I got some content up on ourreclaiming man, Instagram today.
I know we've been awesome,

Michael (06:30):
but it's coming folks.
Yeah.
New year, new opportunities.
So episode 47 today.
It's the Southern Canuck himselfand myself, I don't ever really
like to refer to myself as themastermind.
I like to refer to, I like torefer to the three of us
combined as the mastermind.

(06:51):
Yeah, I get what you mean.
But the concept itself stands,and even with two people.
I was thinking about a lot ofthe people who do podcasts by
themselves and listening to EdMilet stuff where he does his
solo stuff and just makes mevery impressed that they can put
together that articulate 15, 20,even a 30 minute, or longer

(07:12):
podcast episodes where it's justthem, they don't have anybody to
bounce ideas off of, or they'rehelp guide the conversation.
But episode 47, we're back onreclaiming mind.
We've been trying to cyclethrough reclaiming mind, body,
and freedom as a measure ofconsistency in the podcast now,

(07:33):
and you were talking about inpolo, the election this year and
just the impact that it has onour mindsets.
What it's been for me anyways,as we've ramped up is just this
eyeopening experience into howmuch censorship there really is
from all of these differentsources of media news.

(07:54):
And so curious to hear what yourthoughts are on it.
And I'm sure it doesn't need tobe a.
Overly long conversation, butthe same time it, could be one
for hours with the kind of stuffthat I've been listening to
lately.

Preston (08:08):
Yeah, I just, I remember, I just thought when
you brought up the fact that wewere going to be doing sort of a
mind episode, I've just beenthinking about that a lot lately
because I remember the.
Not so much the 2016 electionthat was that was definitely an
interesting one.
It was, it got a little moreinteresting after the election

(08:29):
was done as far as like themental aspects.
But the 2021 and since thenhaving a strong, I don't know,
like just having your thoughtstogether and your mind clear.
To be open to, I don't know,being a detective is quite the

(08:50):
right term, but there is just somuch going on in our everyday
life with information that justwith the internet the internet
has been such a blessing to thehuman race, but it has, we just
are not quite adapting as fastas we need to be.
With it.
And so you hear these terms,misinformation, disinformation,

(09:13):
and, it's you, can, if you doany kind of digging this, the
amount of censorship newsnetworks, the White House
current administration has donethere's just censorship left and
right on.
certain topics.
We can't have this conversationwithout it becoming political,

(09:36):
and we're not trying tonecessarily pick one side or the
other.
More it's about how can we asAmericans just get through this
with a clear head and withoutlosing your mind, because it's
going to be A very rough, in myopinion, year with all the kind
of news that's going to becoming down the pike and the

(09:59):
potential for just an absolute Fshow for our country because of
that, I think if everyone canjust sit back and have a clear
head.
And just take things one step ata time and just try and process

(10:22):
everything you hear and learnabout without going crazy about
it.
I think, I know we can getthrough this as a country, but I
know it is definitely going tobe a challenge.

Michael (10:35):
Yeah.
Challenging, divisive.
Divisive, yeah.
It's, we come into the season ofthe divided States of America
versus the United States ofAmerica.
And.
It feels more like the extremeson these different political
platforms.

(10:55):
And I'm not going to really gointo any of them specifically as
much as just make this generalstatement that the extremes of
any given, political beliefsystem, they.
Are what we see the most of innews.
And so it doesn't give us anaccurate representation of the

(11:17):
majority of the people, it's, sothat's the real hard part you
talked about just being thedetective and sifting through
all the information that's outthere.
I think the best things that wecan do and that I'm going to try
to not try, but I will be doingthis year are watching those

(11:38):
debates and listening to them,from really ideally that live
source.
So they can't be censoring itand you get to get as much of as
much as you can anyways, a senseof who that person is,
irrespective of whatever theirpublicists and campaign team is.
It's putting out there and so ashard as it is, I'm going to try

(12:04):
to, yeah, Oh, no worries.
No, I'm going to be relying muchmore on what I witnessed
personally versus what I look aton the internet and see on
social media or TV or whateverthose other mechanisms are that
are invariably skewing it.

(12:26):
And so I'm just, and I'm goingto, I'm going to base my.
Decisions purely upon what do Ihear them say, and then how does
that line up with or not line upwith some of what we're hearing
on media and not from theopposition who, run all the
smear campaigns and everythingof that nature.

(12:47):
Yeah, for, yeah.
And for me, it's, I justremember that it doesn't have to
divide us especially when itcomes to my friends and my
family.

Preston (12:58):
Depends on people's stance, because I know what you
mean.
I don't like that.
There are certain people in mylife that I'm just like,

Michael (13:07):
No, you're absolutely right.
I'm not saying that we can't bejudicious about who we surround
ourselves with.
In fact, almost more, more whatI'm saying is the, we've talked
a lot about surrounding yourselfwith people who are like minded
and, the reason that it does itso much good is it takes away a
lot of that tension.
And if you know that, Hey.

(13:29):
From a political perspective,people are going to have this
broad spectrum of, beliefs.
But the people who are closestto you, ideally you have some
degree of alignment if not asmuch as possible.
So you don't find yourselves inthose conversations where you
get into dumb arguments aboutthings that, I feel like you can

(13:52):
get sucked into so easily atthis time.
So

Preston (13:56):
Yeah, I used to love What am I?
I've been, gosh, how would I sayit?
It's so I'm like a Canadianwho's like a musician.
I've got a very Republicanstepdad.
And so I feel like I have thiskind of been all over the place
my whole life.
And I've always loved talkingabout different ideas.

(14:17):
Once I don't agree with once Ido, because inevitably you're
going to learn something, yeah.
And there's always aninteresting perspective and a
conversation to be had.
And that's what got lost in thelast, yeah.
40 years.
I remember when, like COVID now,you were saying earlier, but

(14:38):
like not mentioning specificevents on

preston_the southern c.. (14:41):
either

Michael (14:41):
side.
No, I was just saying I wasn'tgoing to in that particular case
because I feel like it could gointo a 15 minute rabbit hole on
each of these different beliefsthat are, very strong at the end
of the day.
Most of them opinions.
About something that we havevery little influence on and by

(15:03):
and large, not to be overlypessimistic, but you look at
some of the claims of whatpresidential candidates have
said they're going to do versuswhat they actually do.
And yeah, there's a pretty bigdisparity there.
So at the end of the day, to me,it's more about who they are as
people and how they're going toapproach the position and the
challenges that they have infront of.

(15:25):
them that we have in front of usas a country.
I love having conversationsabout politics too.
So I don't want to say when Iwas talking about surrounding
yourself with people who arelike minded, it's not so you're
just like confirmation bias allsaying the same things.
It's more so that especiallyduring this season, it helps
alleviate some of thosetensions.

(15:45):
And to your point, there's likejust people that who have such
strong beliefs or opinions aboutsomething politically, that it
becomes.
Polarizing for them and theysay, Hey, nope, I can't be, or I
shouldn't be around this personbecause of how sometimes they
can get very.

(16:06):
Indignant about differences inopinions.
And

Preston (16:11):
yeah.
The thing that worries me in asense, the most is that I
remember like I was going to saylike COVID, whatever COVID kind
of is at the moment, the strainthat came out first thing in
2020, while I do believe it wasdefinitely blown out of
proportion, like it definitelykilled people.

(16:32):
And I do remember like my wife,when she first got it in.
It's like late March of 2020,early April.
And we were not as healthy as weare now.
And it, jacked her up.
It was pretty scary.
And but at the time, Trumphadn't come out and endorsed

(16:58):
hydroxychloroquine yet.
And so her doctor was able toprescribe it to her, or I had to
go pick it up at a pharmacy.
And, turned her around likethat.
I don't know if it was that, Idon't know if it was just
coincidence, but I rememberthinking like, Oh that's just

(17:18):
nice.
Cause you know, I don't know.
It was just weird.
And then he comes out andendorses that.
And it becomes like that sort ofTrump derangement syndrome takes
over.
And I remember havingconversation with people.
That were, I was like it didlike wonders for my wife.
I don't know.
And they're like prove it.

(17:39):
It was just very weird wherethis drug became political.
Like everything has becomepolitical.
And it's that's the part thatworries me with a candidate like
Trump.
That's so frustrating about him.
Is that just simpleconversations become these
bizarre political arguments whenit's hold on we're just trying

(18:02):
to mitigate a potential newdisease with something that
like, yes, it's off label, butit's let's try anything that
works.
And instead it's Oh, fuck you.
That's a Trump thing.
It's like, where it just becomessuch an aggressive

Michael (18:19):
Reaction, to something.
And you're right.
It's, unfortunate how.
Many things get conflated with apolitical view and they have
nothing really to do withpolitics, but a politician's
talked about it So therefore itsucks it into the vortex and
yeah, all of a sudden you'rearguing about something and
you're just like But this is atthe end of the day, the last

(18:42):
thing that we need to be doing,as a community, as a country,
there's so many things that weneed to, to just, as opposed to
make decisions that we aredifferent from other people, we
need to start to find theintersection of what's, what are
the things that we have incommon instead of the things
that we have that are different?

(19:02):
Because I think that's what, thefounding fathers of our country
were looking at when theydrafted the constitution.
They're like, Hey, what are thethings that we have in common
here?
And these are the things that weshould hold hold on to.
And.
And unite around and work tomake progress towards these

(19:24):
ideal states, right?
And, then it's become such aflip side, polarizing divisive
part of our, country that we,instead of looking for those
commonalities are, looking forthis person believes differently

(19:45):
than me about any one of thesepivotal issues.
The environment or education orabortion or you name it, right?
Yeah.
And I could rattle off the list,but ultimately it's it's
disappointing that we've, wecan't seem to rise above that Oh
yeah, we're always going to havedifferences of opinion, but why

(20:06):
should we focus on those whenthose saw progress and those
don't really allow us to moveforward as it.
country or as humanity, whateverway you want to look at it.
So I, that's where I'm justvery, like you said, I'm going
to be discerning in the sourcesof media that I consume, the

(20:27):
amount of time that I spend onit because I'm going to vote.
It's something that we have theright to do.
And I feel strongly that weshould do it, but I'm not going
to let it from a big pictureperspective.
It's not going to take up anymore of my time than it has the
past three years.

(20:47):
For the past 10 years, Iwouldn't say I'm trying to
become more politically activeand that's not to say that, I'm
like, not invested into it.
It's just that as opposed toramping up the amount of time
and consumption for, this typeof stuff and these next several

(21:09):
months, I'm just going to keepon focusing on doing like.
Just the little daily disciplinestuff that we've been talking
about and think keeping focusedon.
Hey, what are my goals?
What are the family goals thatwe have?
What are the goals that we haveas reclaiming man?
And you know always love to havethe conversations with people
about what their views are It'sjust I'm still at the end of the

(21:32):
day gonna try to bring it backto what do we have in common?
We're all struggling to supportour, families our, dreams and
aspirations.

Preston (21:46):
Yeah, I think that's, you hit on it right there.
The, I just heard someonetalking to her the other day
about George Washington, justlike why he was considered to
like why he was voted and pickedas the first president.
And they just, at the time theythought he was the best man that

(22:09):
could unite everybody to be onthe same page.
And it's yeah, that's what weare.
We're lacking in every candidateright now,

Michael (22:19):
but and even the bringing it back to the
beginning of the conversationabout energy level.
It's not to say, I believe it'simpossible for our elders to
maintain a level of energy tosome extent into their seventies
and eighties.
At the same time, when you're inyour seventies and eighties, I,

(22:43):
really firmly believe, or atleast want to believe that at
those points in your life, theenergy that you should be
investing is into your, purelyinto your family and your
relationships and your legacy.
And so I can see how becoming apresident in your seventies fits
into the legacy component.
You leave your mark on societyin the world, but from an energy

(23:06):
perspective, you're, not at thesame place that somebody is in
their forties or fifties, who,in my opinion, from my overall
like health perspective andfitness for duty perspective.
You just have a much betteropportunity to get a leader who

(23:30):
is going to be able to, reallyfire on all cylinders.
Yeah, and I have to use the highmileage oil, right?
And they have to at some pointbe who knows what we have a lot
of cool medical technology outthere that makes it easier for
people to live Into their 70s80s 90s and beyond it's just a

(23:55):
different equation there.
So it's not an ageist type ofComment as much as it is just
looking at the spectrum ofcandidates.
A lot of our candidates areolder, right?
Oh, yeah And

Preston (24:06):
so that's even in, in just in government in general
are extremely old right now.
And and even just to comparereally quick, like the Biden and
Trump comparison they're both,what are they about four years
apart from each other?
So they're not like too

Michael (24:22):
far, but yeah, all the independent candidates are in
there.
I think early seventies or atleast the leading ones.
There's a couple of youngercandidates on the Republican.
On both tickets, right?
Like in forties and fifties for,Republicans and Democrats.
I don't think that they'renecessarily going to emerge as

(24:46):
the candidates here.
And that's a tough thing for meto be just learning about.

Preston (24:54):
I just think like with, Biden and Trump, like they're
just Biden has just fallen offsuch a cliff with his health in
the last, since he's becomepresident.
And then even you look atsomeone to me like RFK Jr, who
is running as an independent,who I find very fascinating as
far as where he's a veryinteresting man politically to

(25:16):
me because he's anenvironmentalist first

Michael (25:19):
I do RFK quite a bit, but he's

Preston (25:22):
old too, like he's, I think in his late 60s or 71.
Yeah.
So it's they are.
The age thing, it's like you canhave a, like a, I guess I'll use
JFK as an example because he wasso young and spry, but even he
had his health issues and it'slike with age does come an
element of like extreme wisdombecause you just have so much

(25:43):
life experience and I don'tthink we'd be having this age
conversation.
As much if, cause there are,what am I thinking of?
There's like other like 80 or 90year old people that are like,
even more spry than, a Trump is,so it's, such a weird

(26:06):
conversation to have because.

Michael (26:08):
It is, but there's just that practical component of the
conversation and it's just itdoesn't matter how well you try
to, unfortunately the people whoare in their seventies or
eighties now don't have accessto the same medicine, didn't
have access to the same medicinethat we do now coming into our
forties and fifties.
So the people who are in theirforties and fifties right now,

(26:30):
they have a really goodopportunity to, because of
science primarily andadvancements in technology.
They have the ability, I think,to extend what that, they're
saying 120, right?
What that, life expectancy lookslike.
And I don't think that,unfortunately folks in their 70s

(26:51):
and 80s now, they don't haveaccess to it.
And beyond that, they don'tnecessarily have the mindsets at
that point to say, look, I'mgoing to completely shift my
perspective on health or some ofthese other things.
And so they're going to.
Because they've built the habitstheir whole lives of eating the
way that they eat and whatevermisconceptions they have About

(27:13):
fitness and well being, right?
I just have to imagine that Youknow as we look at the next
generations of presidents, we'regonna Hopefully be at the point
where we have that combinationof wisdom, which is what we, I
think okay, the advantages of,age generally should be wisdom
and is one of the most importanttraits in a presidential

(27:35):
candidate, arguably, and, And soyou can't really get that
experience as a youngercandidate, but there's that sort
of catch 22 of, we also always

Preston (27:47):
a president could have like his, like a 50 year old
president could have as like 80or 90 year old, that's right.
Yeah.
It's

Michael (27:55):
surround yourself with smart and wise.
Yeah.
But exactly.
And that in and of itself iswisdom, but yeah, it's just,
those are some of the thoughtsthat I had as I was coming into
this conversation, because it'sjust hard, it's going to be hard
to make that decision for mepersonally, but at least in some

(28:17):
regards, I have a generalleaning at this moment still
towards RFK based on what he'stalked about doing, but

Preston (28:29):
I think he'd be such an interesting president for our
country.
I, I don't, when I see what'sgoing on with him, like
nationally poll wise, he seemsto be doing very well.
I don't know how.
Him as an independent couldactually win the overall vote in
any way or capacity.

(28:51):
But I just think he, I wouldjust, I don't know.
There's something about him thatI just, when I hear him talk on

Michael (28:58):
podcast.
I thought Vivek Ramaswamy waspretty interesting too.
I

Preston (29:03):
really did too.
And he's gotten like so muchshit from people and it's
they're the two candidates to methat have gone on independent
podcasts and talk long form.
Actually, I heard Christie on afew that he was much more
interesting than I'd ever reallygiven him credit for when I
heard him talk long form.
But Rebecca and RfK were, whenyou hear them talk for over an

(29:26):
hour, free form with people whoare asking kind of questions and
they can conversate.
It's, I just, I wish they woulddo the debates more like that.
I hate that they do debates infront of an audience with the
time amounts that they have,like they just, I think could

Michael (29:43):
accomplish.
Yeah, he basically, yeah.
Vivek had basically he droppedout this past week and, formally
advocated for Trump, as the nextmost closely aligned.
From a viewpoint and everythingperspective, but, either way,

(30:04):
it's just sometimes you see likethose types of people who drop
out and you're I'm bummedbecause I was like, those are
the people who are probably themore like change agent type of
personality and individual who'sgoing to really effectively lead
us through.
A lot of the change that we needto go through and inevitably

(30:26):
will go through.
Yeah, it'll be an interestingyear nonetheless.
And, I don't know what are, yourthoughts and enclosing on it?
I would just say that,

Preston (30:41):
Keep a clear head, don't freak out.
Whatever is going to happen,good, bad, or otherwise, It's
just, it's going to happen nomatter what, whether that's, we
have a completely fair freeelection and the person you like
gets voted in and it's supersmooth and in a year from now,
we're just happy as clams or acivil war breaks out and we're

(31:04):
nuked by Russia and Chinabecause we're vulnerable in that
meantime, it's like, whateverhappens, it's this is the era
that we're living in.
The time that we're living in,we're living in history.
Everyone always is.
That's weird to say, but to justnot worry about it take care of
your family at home, love, loveyour kids, your wife, your
friends.
And we're going to get throughthis humans always have.

(31:26):
And think of it more as a reallyfun, adventurous time.
We get that we get to live in.
It's it's exciting.
It's our parents I guess theyhadn't Vietnam in the late 60s,
70s.
That was maybe like Vietnam inthe cold war, but we're like,
we're in a really unique,exciting time.

(31:47):
It's definitely fuckingterrifying.
Don't get me wrong.
That part of it is.
When I think about it too much,I freak myself out, but at the
same time, like I mentioned afew seconds ago, like it's the
time we're in, there's nothingwe can do about it.
And it's just, let's enjoy itand have these conversations
and, stockpile some batteriesand gasoline and bullets like

(32:09):
that, but too late for that.
I'm not going to be able to therich guys are all doing that
right now, but

Michael (32:18):
If I had, as I would build a bunker, I'm just going
to say it.
Yeah.
If I could, I might, peoplemight label me as an extremist,
but I'm really not.
I just, somebody who lovesbunker, like planful,

Preston (32:32):
It'd be great to have for that just in case moment,
but it would also be great.
Like in the middle of summer tolet's go like 30 feet
underground where it's nice andcool.
Oh

Michael (32:40):
my gosh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would, absolutely love it.
Me too.
Need to buy some land from thefarmer.
Who's behind us because I don'treally have too much more
property to put said bunker.
Yeah.
I could get some land someplaceelse farther outside of the
city.
Who knows?

(33:00):
Anyways, all right, let's don't,let's not go down on that rabbit
hole so people think I'm a madprepper.

Preston (33:06):
Let's I don't have a cocktail right now.
I was going to say we could poursomething out for Scott because
he's off in the, where is he at?
Granada?
Granada, yeah.
Granada, Salem, probably.
Happened to Pina Colada rightnow.

Michael (33:19):
What an inspiration though, that is to me even not
being there, I know he's, it'smostly work related it's work
trip that he's bringing a bunchof people on to do some,
connecting and relationshipbuilding, which is absolutely
key for any sort of leadership.
But, as he's talked about whathis dreams are, his ideal states

(33:42):
and being able to sail, it'sjust really cool to see him
taking those types of trips and,he's sailing and it's just, it's
really cool.
I'm excited to hear about thattrip over the next couple of
weeks once he gets back.
I mentioned this to you earlier,but I feel like there's.
Getting to be a decent lineup ofsome guests that will be on the

(34:04):
show over the coming months.
And so excited to bring some newstories on for people to hear.
And, yeah.
I think going to get Brad Dawsonback on here in the next month
or so, depending on hisschedule.
Probably get Bobby back on andlater in the year too to, chat a
little bit more about how thingsare going in his world.

(34:24):
But, As always, appreciateanybody that you share
Reclaiming Man with.
Every time I talk to other menabout it, I find that there's a,
great level of enthusiasm aboutit.
Please do share it with anybodywho you think could use a little
bit of additional support in theform of, guidance on reclaiming
mind, body, and freedom andawakening from our sleepwalk

(34:47):
toward extinction.
Heck yeah, brother.
