Speaker 0 (0s): Good times. It's bet, buddy Friday, you made it man. Time to celebrate and to celebrate this weekend, you made it through a lot down. You made it through five days of monotony. You made it through five days of propaganda. Five days of people flapping their gums and yapping their mouth out of the TV and the radio. You made it. 

Go ahead, go ahead. Put two fists out. Give yourself a little fist bump or take your hand, reach over your back and just keep yourself a little Pat, Pat, go ahead and Pat it down. You deserve it. You deserve it. I hope you, you set yourself up for a little prize at the end of the day, man, maybe your prize, the glass of wine. Maybe it's a cold beer. Maybe it's a bong load. I don't know what it is, man, but I hope you celebrate. You got to celebrate the victories in life and sometimes just making it a Friday, tell you what, that's a victory, especially in today's climate. 

You know, some people see things the way they are and say why you should try to see things the way they've never been and say, why not? Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope. You look at a set of elements, the same ones everyone else sees, but then reassemble those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility. 

Today is the Friday wrap up. We're going to wrap this thing up with a tight little bow on there and hopefully give you something you can use in your life. I had a pretty eventful week. I had a pretty eventful weekend. I learned a really good lesson this week and I want to share it with you. I'm excited too. You ever had like a pretty tough week where you felt kind of off. Maybe you felt a little aggressive, you felt a little anxiety, maybe a little anger. 

You know, you just felt awful little bit. You felt like short fused things are kind of getting to you. I think a lot of people are feeling that way. I think it has a lot to do with the propaganda coming out of the airwaves and it kinda got to me this week. I want to share with you what happened. I learned a really good lesson, but I had to go to a pretty dark spot to get there. And I'm not proud of what I did, but I'm proud to share with you what I learned from it. 

Speaker 1 (3m 1s): You know what it is. I'm sorry. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry guys. Hey, I fucked up the importance of an apology. Let me back. You know what, how about, I shouldn't say like this, the importance of a sincere apology you guys ever think about why an apology is so important for a lot of reasons, for a lot of reasons, you know, nothing ever gets better until you would admit that something's wrong, but most people never want to admit they're wrong because they don't want to confront the thing that they're wrong about, or they don't want to get in trouble. 

But if it's not at the level you want, it's wrong. If it's not something you're proud of, then it's wrong. You know, a sincere apology usually comes from telling yourself the truth, but we all know the truth can hurt. Right? Well, that's what happened to me. I did something that I'm not proud of. Let me set up the week for you. 

Let me, let me, let me try to not rationalize why I did what I did, but let me try and paint you a picture of what I went through this week, which led me to an incident where I had to apol
