It does seem like deep down, we all can kind of tell the difference between over and covert. Then we have a good sense, I think one of the benefits of having this characteristic of Mind where I value loyalty. I've been extremely fortunate to spend most of my life in over relationships and I think that creates a really fulfilling life. But there's also this thing that maybe were in this

portion of the podcast now but but I'll just raise. This is

late at night. Knocking,

that's right. Certainly late for me but I'm two hours came in today on. I'm still in California.

Should also say that you came here to wish me happy birthday.

I did I did I end the podcast is just like a fun.

Last minute thing. I suggested yeah.

Some close friends of yours have arranged a dinner that I really looking forward to. I won't say which night, but it's next couple of nights. You know, your circadian clock is. One of them are most robust features of your biology. I know you can be nocturnal. Or you can be diurnal. We know you're mostly nocturnal certain Firearms the year locks but but there are very very few people can get away with no sleep. Very few people can get away with a chaotic sleep-wake schedule so you have to obey a 24-hour AKA circadian rhythm. If you want to remain healthy of Mind and Body, we also have to acknowledge that it's Beijing is in linear, right? So what do you mean? Well, I mean, you the degree of change. Between years, 35 and 40 is not going to be the degree of change between 40 and 45. But I will say this I'm 48 and I feel better in every aspect of my psychology and biology. Now than I did, when I was in my 20s. Yeah, sort of core quality of thought, time spent physically, I can do what I did then which is probably says more about what I could do then when I can do now. But If you keep training, you can continue to get better. The key is to not get injured, and I've never trained super hard, I've trained hard, but I've been cautious to not. For instance, weight train, more than two days in a row. I do a split, which, basically three days a week and the other days, run, take one full day off, take a week off every 12 to 16 weeks. I've not been the guy hurling the heaviest weights, or running the furthest distance, but I have been the guy who's continuing to do it when a lot of my friends are talking about knee injuries. Hey, hey, hey.

But

of course, with sport, you can't account for everything the same way you can with Fitness and and I have to acknowledge that, you know, unless one is powerlifting, you know, weight lifting and running, you can get hurt but it's not like skateboarding. Where if you if you're going for it you're going to get hurt. That's just your landing on concrete and it which you Jutsu like people are trying to hurt you. So that you say stop. But so with a sport it's different and these days I don't really do. Do a sport. Any longer I work out safe it. I, I used to continue to do sports but I kept getting hurt and, and frankly now, like a roll the ankle, I'm a put a little small skateboard part in 2024 because people have been saying, we want to see the kickflip. I'm say, well, I'll do a heel flip instead, but okay, I might put a little part because some of the guys at work on our podcast or from DC, I think by now I should at least do it just as Like I'm not making it up and I probably will but I think it doing a sport is different. That's how you get hurt overuse and doing it, an actual sport and so you know hat tip to those do an actual sport and

that's a difficult decision. Like I a lot of people have to make I have to make widgets of for example like if you just look a Glee, I've trained really hard for all my life and grappling Sports, and fighting Sports, and all this kind of stuff. And I've avoided injury for the most part. And I would say I would attribute that to training a lot. It sounds counterintuitive but training well and safely and correctly. Keeping good form saying no and then need to say no, but training a lot and taking it seriously. Now when this training is kind of a side really a side thing, I find that the injury is a becomes higher and higher probability when

you're just doing it every once in a while every once in a while. Yeah, that I think you said, Something really important that the saying no, I mean the times I have gotten hurt training is when someone's like hey let's hop on this work out together. And income said, let's challenge each other to do something outrageous. Sometimes that can be fun, though. I went up to campaigns is Jim and he does, he's very high repetition weight workouts that are in circuit form. I was sore for two weeks but I learned a lot and didn't get injured and yes we ate bow hunted elk after

nice but the injury has In a really difficult, psychological thing for me because so, I've injured, my finger pinky finger injured, my knee, your kitchen

is filled with splints Spence.

I'm trying to figure out. I'm trying to figure out I'm

trying. It's like if you look at last his kitchen, there's there's some really good snacks. I had some right before, he's very good about keeping cold drinks in the fridge and all the water has element in it which is great that. But then there, There's a whole like hospitals worth of splint.

Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to figure out. So here's the thing, you think I like pop out like this, right? Pinky finger, I'm trying to figure out how do I splint in such a way that I can still program, still play guitar, but protect this kind of torque motion that creates a huge amount of pain as long as you

have a Jiu-Jitsu injury Jutsu. But it's

a, it's not the kind of, it's probably more like a skateboarding style injury, which is it's unexpected. In a silly in a silly thing, that happens as

I didn't break my foot doing anything important. Yeah, I broke my fifth metacarpal stepping off a curb. So it's that's why they're called accidents, you know, if you get hurt doing something awesome, that's a trophy. Yeah. That you have to work through its part of your payment to the universe. If you get hurt stepping off a curb or doing something stupid, it's called a stupid accident.
