Good morning everybody. Welcome to another episode of Scene Communities of the Prophet. Today is a funny day. And let me tell you why learning random new skills is good. I walk to work every day, right? That was the whole emphasis of this. But you may hear some rumbling around me today. That is in fact my skateboard. Today I felt like Tony Hawk. And not on purpose. Not that I I wasn't that good of a skateboard or anything like that. I used to be on the kick flip off a five stair. And that was probably the coolest thing I could do, just land a little kick flip off a five stair. And then my father was like, dude, you want to be me want me to pay for a surf cup? Or do you want to keep messing around with the skateboard? So this is a funny story because I was like, ah fine, I want to play soccer. Because I did, it was true. I just wanted to play soccer. So he was right. And I went to the backyard and I smacked my board into the wall and it couldn't break. And then I ledged it on and I stomp it and it snapped in half. And he's like, well, let me teach you another lesson. You could have made money out of that to help me pay for Surf Cup. Anyway, learning new skills is important because today I didn't know where my car keys were. And I'm running a little late because of my bowel movements, which is normal, but usually it, you know, I have a routine for that. So what's funny about today is that now I'm right back on time because skateboarding is saving me the time. So you never know when like a random life skill that you learned when you were young in middle school or anything like that is gonna come and save some save some time. Which is why I always say like move your body in different ways. It's like I don't know, it's like learning how to fix a car or hot wire a car. If there's a car in the middle of a road in the apocalypse, you're gonna go fix the car, right? Because that's the only way you're gonna get through it. Uh like, or I don't know, learning electrical stuff so that you can build your own house. It's so today's about learning a new skill, and today I'm really realizing how skateboarding has been good for me in many ways because it gives me a different way of transportation, gives me another way of freedom. Um, you can take it anywhere, so if you're a public transportation person, which I was in LA, you get on the bus, you put it on, it's not as heavy as a bike, not all buses have bike racks. So it's very interesting. Uh and so that's my little spiel for today. Learn a new skill because right now I am flying to work. Flying, I'll tell you. I feel good too. Uh so I'll tell you this though, I can't see much. So I hope I hope I don't fall. It's still very dark out, you know, daylight savings time kind of messed this up for me. But we'll be alright. Something nice. Anyway, random, random podcast. I had another cool podcast for you guys, I'll upload it later. Upload it later. Uh but thank you for tuning in. Text your mother, tell her you love her. Thank you.
