you might have to guide them into some subtopic that's better for both of you, but you can always find a way to be mutually interested. And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings us to the top of the hour. You know what I haven't done in a long time is take questions. I thought this would be an awesome time to do that.

st accomplishments is he's not done yet. So if the only thing you took was whatever comes out of MAHA and then you said well MAHA wouldn't happen without MAGA then you would assign some of those benefits and it could be something as important as cutting chronic illness in half. If Trump's willingness to work with RFK Jr. cut childhood chronic illness in half, what would be bigger than that? That'd be hard to beat, but you don't know if it's going to happen. So with Trump, he's got a whole bunch of things brewing that if they happen, such as peace in the Middle East, they'd be the biggest things ever. You know, the Abraham Accords growing to extra countries. Don't know if it'll happen, but my god, if it did, what level of accomplishment is that? It's like he doesn't have words.

So I feel like I'd be a little out of my depth there. Same as Soylent Green. Yeah. Best simulation minted name. Government.

All right. What is that with my name on it? What health apps does Scott use on his Apple Watch? None. So I have the Apple Watch. Where is it? Somewhere around here. I have an Apple Watch that disappeared. So I have looked at the health apps, so I know what they are, but honestly, they don't look that useful.

Work ethic. You know what? I love it. I love it when people give me credit for a good work ethic because that's what I would be most proud of is that it's just that that would be the thing I have t

And how much pain you're willing to put up with to get ahead. To me, those are good markers of who you are and how it's going to go.
