You top off the oil.

You make sure the tires are looking good.

It's aligned.

But you also are willing to go out and drive it.

That's why you have the damn car.

So it's really like, I think the takeaway for the average person is finding a balance between those things where people can get so caught up in health practices, optimizing, that you forget to actually ask yourself, well, why am I doing all this stuff in the first place?

And a lot of times it's like, well, so I can live better.

And then you look at all those things and you go, is this actually making me live better?

Or is this just making me a slave to all these routines for this...

possible tomorrows and my whoops score.

And you just like forget to live in the process.

I think what's interesting, too, is when you really look at the data on alcohol and health, obviously some people say any amount is toxic, never do it.

But a lot of those studies are not actually that great.

There's a guy, Vinay Prasad, and he was an MD.

You might have heard of him.

He was the former director of the Center for Biologics and Evaluation of Research.

And he did this deep... He's like kind of one of those guys that really peels back studies and goes, okay, what's really going on here?

He asks a lot of questions.

And when he looked at the research, he was like...

Yeah, drinking a lot isn't good for us.
