Olin Kruots is always right on time, Speagues. Always there. Man, it's so it's it's Olin Kruz season. That's that's what it is. We we are all vulnerable when Olin Kruits is on, that is for sure.

It is now time for transition. Spiegel and Holmes are here. Lawrence and the birthday boy, Matt Spiegel. Good birthday, Matt Spiegel. We got it.
Happy birthday, Mike.
I'm Mike
today.
I'm finally Mike today. We're always Mike on our birthday.
We are. Thanks to Harry. Yeah, what's going on, everybody?
I'm
d I'm delightful. I used to wake up on my birthday and I'd be like, How many indulgences can I get in today?
I I I think that's a great way to actually go about your birthday.
No d all due respect to people who are st I guess different indulgences now. I think that's what's happened. Yeah,
like more mature indulgences.
Today I woke up and I went out to the balcony and I meditated when it was quiet and the rain was just on the edge of the roof. Oh that's and I had the dog with me and I had like twenty minutes to myself in the quiet at a perfect temperature. I'll tell you what, it doesn't get any better than this. Huh, Arcus? I still that's domino? I said, my God.
I'm jealous of you. I like I have um tried to meditate because it's something that if you're counting days, some people say that it's a suggested form of recovery. It it just is. For whatever, for a
million
millions. Yeah, it doesn't have to be if you're in recovery. But yeah, meditation, good thing. I've just I've never been able to clear my I've tried to clear my brain. Have you
not tried guided meditations? I've tried it all,
like, and I just can't stop the thoughts running through the brains. What about what about a little yoga added to it? You know, I haven't tried that long. That's an interesting
thing. Some physical activity. That's what that does, right? I I like it because Tell me more about this concept
of physical activity. Like there's
not
inconvenient at times.
A mindfulness that can go along with it that can help center you, but also you're maybe worried not worried, but you're thinking about the poses so it allows you some space to have some of those thoughts kind of even out. You know what
it the thing is though, the you know who helped me was John Baker, the former Cubs mental skills coach. Yes. He said it's a practice. The noun is practice. You're not trying to become perfect, it's a practice. And the the act is forgiving yourself when you have a thought.
So I feel that pressure. Maybe that's it.
How does Danny Parkins’ “bad take audit” concept affect on‑air commentary?
Maybe that I shouldn't be a perfectionist when it comes to meditating. That's the whole thing. That's the whole thing. That's the whole thing.
Finding trying to find that enlightenment and and what we like perceive as enlightenment. And sometimes the enlightenment is really, really small. Like, man, I had a great day today. Man, that was r I did all the things that I wanted to do before I started practicing yoga today.
Yeah, man.
All that stuff can be part of the enlightenment.
So that was my that was my first indulgence of the day. Got that in there.
