I mean I guess one of the best ways to make it so they don't suspect you of cheating with women is to just very loudly say that you're cheating with men. Yeah. That would be a weird way to go about it. Anyway, New Year's resolutions. First of all, we had a disagreement. Charlie is pro-New Year's. Jack is anti-New Year's. So I think you guys should hash that one out first.

So I have a sort of funny story about that, which is I I kind of agree with Jack. Like, it's a little arbitrary. And what I worry is I think we have created such a culture of New Year's resolutions and people know they like don't work. It's almost it's like an anti promise. It's the promise you make that you almost have social approval to break because everyone expects it to fail.

And what I will say is funny is the one time I not the one time, but the most memorable time I made a very big shift in my life where I really changed a lot of my behavior all at once. I'm not sure why, but it didn't happen at New Year's. It happened. I remember it very well. It happened on April Fool's Day. Uh, so I used to be quite a bit fatter and don't, don't look at photos of it.

It's bad, but I think most of them have vanished off the internet. And the time that I fixed it was on April fool's day, 2018 or no, it was 2017, 2017. And I'm not even entirely sure what happened, but I remember the details of the day very well. I went with my roommate, his girlfriend and a friend of mine, and we went to King's dominion. an amusement park in central Virginia.

And like while we were driving down there, I thought, you know, it's gross. I'm fat. That's bad. I should not be fat. That's so gross. I'm going to not eat anything today. And I didn't eat anything that day. And I didn't eat anything the following day either or the day after that. And that actually turned into this gigantic thing where I lost 70 pounds in one year.

And I also read 101 books that year. It turned into this like giant self-improvement frenzy that lasted about a year and a half, I would say. And it was very funny because at the time I remember thinking, I don't think I can maintain this level of intensity for the rest of my life, but I can maintain it as long as I can. And it was it was a big part of my life.

And I sometimes wonder if it mattered a lot that it just it didn't happen on New Year's. So like it made the momentum feel more durable to me. Just a thought I've had.

I, you know, I do. So I said I read all those books in 2018. And then this is, you know, to TMI. But after, you know, after I had my thing in in 2020, Google it if you care. I like I didn't read a book for six months and I read a lot more than I did after that happened. But I do want to I want to try to read 50 this year. 101 will be hard. I'm busier than I was in 2017.

But I want to read 50 books, one every single week, roughly.
