  Speaker 2: Vocal be pregnant. It's asking the questions, questioning the answers.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: It seems like such a simple simple thing to do,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: asking yourself the questions and then questioning the answers. And
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: so often we don't even want to inmface ourselves. We
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: won't look at ourselves in the mirror, or if we do,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it's out of judgment and it's like, oh god, I
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: remember when you did this. And the way that we
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: take selfies nowadays, how many shots are actually fired off
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: before you finally say, yeah, that's a good one, and
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: is it really you? Because all of a sudden, you're
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: gonna send it through all the filters, or you're gonna
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: put it on chat GPT or Jim and I or Grock,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and that's gonna beautify the picture. Is it even us anymore?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: And what is the process of you know, really kind
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: of levitating toward a better us? Big question, isn't it?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But do we have an answer? Have you asked yourself
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: those questions and question your answers. That's what I call
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: vocal defragging. Plus I keep a defraged journal, which I've
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: been doing since November of twenty seventeen, So it's not
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: like I'm a professional, but I've lived this lifestyle a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: very very long time. Ask the questions, question the answers,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and the focus this time around kind of comes around
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: with a subject that I got in with with Jake Steinfeld.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Jake Steinfeld is Body by Jake, who's got a new
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: podcast now which is called Body by Jake Radio. This
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: dude has always been about nutrition as well as keeping
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the mind, body, and soul in place, in order, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: most importantly in shape. And one of the things that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: he said in the middle of our conversation yesterday was
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: he says, we're all just trying to get some hope.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: We're all just trying to get some hope. Oh, We've
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: got hope. We hope that somebody shows up for work today.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: We hope that Johnny up there doesn't walk away from
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: his bride because the wedding's going on right now, but
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: he could walk out at any given time. We hope
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that the grocery store prices will go down. We hope
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: that there's enough fuel and that the war and Iran
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: isn't going to cause even a bigger problem. Oh, we've
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: got hope, but I don't think we have focused hope.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And that's the question of the day, is that what
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: is your focused hope? And is it based on utilizing
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the strength of making yourself greater and better than what
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you were yesterday? And will you have the ability to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: see yourself through the storms that are going to come
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: pumbling onto your soul because you're going to be the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: different one with a different load of hope. This is
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: really bizarre that we're bringing this up in a subject
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: because I've talked with a lot of silver people. Silver
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: people are those that are seventy five plus and older,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and I do ask them how it is that they're
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: able to make their way through a world right now.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: And the reason why I do this is because my
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: mom and dad aren't here. I don't have them to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: ask questions. I don't want to go to a book.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I don't want to go to my preacher. I want
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to talk to the people who've actually lived it. In
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: other words, I'm going to ask the questions to myself,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and the answers are, well, you know what, this is
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a good plan that you've got, but how does it
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: really play out in the lives of those that are
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: seventy five and older? Now, you could be twenty three
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: right now, going what the what the what the dude,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: what are you talking about? That's fifty years from where
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I presently stand. Yeah, imagine what you're going to look
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: like when you've had fifty years of practice. And hope
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: is one of those words. Not hope, as in, Oh,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I hope I can get a good seat at church.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I hope I can get tickets to go see The
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Mandalorian or some other movie this summer. I hope, I hope.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: That's not hope. It's not hope. Hope is coming together
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: as a community. Hope is believing in this community and
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: hoping that we can all come together and create something
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that really does develop into a success story for we
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: as a people. And not me me me me, me, me,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: me me me Now here's the thing. Along the way,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: A professional could come along and say I got it
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: all wrong when it comes to hope, That hope has
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to start somewhere. And if it means hoping to get
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a seat at a concert or hoping to see Taylor
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Swift in concert, that would be a great start for hope.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, though, is that if it works,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: then we're going to want to use that same plan
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: over and over again. And if it's already a contaminated
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: hope because it's self serving rather than really building up
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and replenishing the community, how has that even looked upon
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: as being hope. We hope that we have a better
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: body by the time we get to a certain age.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: We hope to be able to see, to be able
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to hear. A lot of men and even women these days,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I hope that my hair doesn't fall out by the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: end of the year. It's that type of hope that
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: isn't the real hope that we need to have as
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a community. I understand that you've got to build yourself up,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and you've got to put yourself in a position of
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: decision making and leadership quality. But when your concentration is
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: on selfish hope that infects everything that I'm talking about
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: on this platform, the community, the leadership, the understanding with
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: empathy and compassion. So get your eyes of self delivered
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: hope and start focusing in on hoping that we as
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a generation can stand back up and quit leaning over,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: because right now this is gonna be a harsh thing
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: to say. There are many of us without taking meth
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and fentanyl. We are standing in life and we're bent
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: over like the fentanyl stand. If you don't know what
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that is, I suggest you look it up and watch
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: the videos because when it comes to everyday life in
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: this world, that fitanyl and that meth stand of just
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: leaning over, that's your hope as it drains out your ears.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Ask yourself the questions, question the answers. Is called defragging.
