Stand in that room and imagine playing one of my favorite plays.

board games sometimes my wife walks in and i just stand in my office and and i'll look at a rule book for like an hour and that's like in my head i play the game see what is that what is that called i don't know i'm just enjoying like i really like sometimes all i have to do is set the pieces out to begin the game and then i just look at it and i can imagine the game playing out and it's really satisfying that is remarkable

And I can do that and then actually play the game.

And my strategies are the things, they usually work out.

So could you do that with chess?

I'm bad at chess, but I could.

I can have a bad game of chess.

I think I'm like a 1500 rated player.

on like the fact that you even know where you are on the ladder but like that's playing bullet chess which is like uh you have a second to make a move yeah and so 1500 is like decent it's above average i would guess but like that version of chess is the dumb guy version of that's the jock version of chess what i really want to play is like a 10 minute timer where you remember the father jason yeah yeah he's brilliant

Is he shockingly good my brother is very good at chess people who are good at chess blow my mind I can't so I can hold the pieces in my mind but there are people who They can they visualize the board in such a way that they're just so familiar with it that it just takes years to get I once I once wanted to get good at chess and so I thought well the way I'll do it is I'll download it on my iPad and then I'll just play the computer and no one needs to know how terrible I am

I would literally turn it off and start block blasting.

I would just, or I would just start doodling really inappropriate.

Just, hey, stop watching my screen.

Just drawing your plane crashing.

He's looking at you like, oh my God.

Oh, dude, Jimmy Akin is sliding between realms.

He's out of the matrix, man.

Morpheus offered him the pills and he took both at once.

That's what happened to Jimmy Akin.

So now he's on another level, dude.
