Um, or, you know, I mean, he doesn't really have a good set of good guy friends to where he can, you know, pick up the phone and say, Hey, let's go play golf this weekend or something like that.

233.734 - 242.024 Jane

Or, you know, just small, small things like that. Um, just, I guess that community or have that group of guys for accountability. So I don't know.

242.044 - 263.574 Jane

I just feel the pressure of, of, I mean, yeah, I, like you said, I, I don't think I can create those goals or anything for him, but if there was anything I could do to encourage him to, you know, um, I don't know, some hobbies or do something for himself, I guess, or just saying, uh, what, what, where, um,

267.524 - 272.068 Dr. John Delony

Where is your source of, I don't want to say discontent from, but tell me some of your goals.

273.849 - 298.287 Jane
