making whoever is left happy or more comfortable, et cetera. So there are other things that we deal with in our life that motivates us. Also, our own kids motivate us, okay?

Or the same thing, same thing with, you know, Clarence, you and I have been involved with, you know, helping people take their blood pressure. Okay, for some people, you know, if they get their blood pressure and it's, you know, it's 200 over 100, you know, it could be a wake-up call. For other people that say, okay, it's 200 over 100 today. I'll measure it tomorrow and it'll be down.

Right. You know, it's just like you put a piece of apple pie in front of you. Do you feel guilty? Yeah. Do you feel guilty? Yeah. If somebody is going to ask me, the answer is no, you know, because I enjoy a piece of apple pie every once in a while. And you know what? I don't want my enjoyment to be affected by guilt.

You know, have a piece of apple pie every once in a while. It's nothing going to end the world. You know, so sharing it. Okay. So, you know, Clarence and I always call ourselves kind of the old farts. But, you know, and thankfully we have a crew that's younger so we can get the perspective or help us to remember.

You know, it's interesting when you talk to patients. So I talk to, you know, orthopedic patients. And it's interesting. I'll ask them from time to time, what are you hoping for? One patient will tell me to be pain free. Okay. Actually, that's frankly a pretty common response. Another patient will say to be able to play pickleball. Or go hiking.

Yeah. And by the way, I don't follow up the answer for being pain-free with another question, okay? Maybe I should, but their mind isn't there yet. They just want to be pain-free first and foremost. Then I'll worry about what I can do. All right. after where other people are, are assuming that they'll be pain free and are taking it that one step further already.

Correct. And there's probably as many lanes as there are people on earth, you know, when you really get down to it. Let's talk about a little bit about cultural motivation. Okay. So, and, you know, Clarence, you and I can certainly probably share it too. We could talk about, you know, we're brought up in certain cultures or certain religions or what have you.
