Speaker 1
My dad told me I needed to get serious and stop pranking people as a kid. He said, at some point, you're going to have to get serious about life, Mark. And it's worked out okay for me. I think he's a great dad, by the way. He gives very solid advice, but he was off on that one. Missed the mark there. No pun intended. Best advice. You're not as good as you think you are. And you're also not as bad as you think you are There's a regression to the mean The truth is somewhere in the middle Don't get cocky, but don't be so sad when you screw up Seems like a healthy outlook Do you have an unpopular opinion you love to defend?

Or a hot take that you can't resist putting out there?
Speaker 1
Give me a second, because I have a lot of these i feel like i'll say this and i know i've personally messaged you about this your hot take on like astrology and like this is so dumb like there's no evidence at all for it i used to defend that and just be totally in your camp. And by the way, I still do. But I've kind of changed my opinion. And my hot take now is like, it's a beautiful framework for a lot of people. It's a form of a religion, but there's no oppression. And it really stretches people to be a better version of themselves.
