**David Kitchen** (0:33)
Welcome in, welcome in. David Kitchen alongside JJ Zachariason. JJ, as you know, is the CEO of the company. Some that say that I'm the COO of the company. We're just gonna guide you through some running back stuff this episode, JJ.

**JJ Zachariason** (0:49)
I'm already, like, I'm scared for what's to come because someone in chat right now says, lucky for me, year one and year two running backs is my kink. So that's where the direction, I mean, not only that, it looks like you, at least in the intro, it's gotten a little bit lighter, but it looks like I raised the. You look like you're about to be in like, you know, that like thunderstorm setting where like, oh, look, it's got a little bit brighter there. So I'm saying I can, you know, when the storm is brewing and like the house gets darker, but it's mid afternoon, that's kind of what the vibe is. And right now, just it just it feels like that going on in Tennessee.

**David Kitchen** (1:26)
Yeah, that's it's it's definitely it's like that Seattle weather right now where it's just misty rain, but it's dark.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:35)
That's not coming for me tomorrow. I'm trying to I'm trying to have a good birthday tomorrow with the sun.

**David Kitchen** (1:40)
You know, JJ, is it your birthday tomorrow?

**JJ Zachariason** (1:44)
It's my birthday tomorrow. Yeah.

**David Kitchen** (1:46)
Wow. Yeah. Wow. 40, the big scores.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:51)
Yeah, no, not quite, buddy, not quite. You know, when this goes out, it will be going out on the podcast feed on the birthday. Yes, tomorrow, February 19th is my birthday.

**David Kitchen** (2:01)
You've got one year, buddy. No, I got one year.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:05)
I got two.

**David Kitchen** (2:06)
I thought you would be 39

**JJ Zachariason** (2:08)
I'm going to be 38

**David Kitchen** (2:09)
Oh, gosh. Why am I trying to age you?

**JJ Zachariason** (2:11)
Yeah, let me be. OK, this is still upper 30s. Thirty seven was a very uneventful birth year in terms of just like feeling older. Thirty eight is the exact same way. It's like you're not quite 39 Then you start to feel a little more like, oh, my gosh, it's coming. And then obviously, you know, 40 hits.

**David Kitchen** (2:28)
Yeah, we talked to someone who had just turned 40 and it was like this is the same way that I felt. Just like that was the only time I felt like old.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:36)
I'll tell you what, though, I don't feel like, to be fair, you know, you're the way that you view age as you get older, just changes and shifts all the time. Right. Like you ask anyone who's four years old and you say I'm 38 and they say you're really, really old. Right. Like talk to any kids. But I genuinely feel probably better right now at 38 than I did at 28

**David Kitchen** (3:00)
Yeah.

**JJ Zachariason** (3:01)
It's probably the lack of gluten.

**David Kitchen** (3:04)
Probably is. Right.

**JJ Zachariason** (3:06)
Not as many beers in my system these days.

**David Kitchen** (3:09)
Or the Greek yogurt.

**JJ Zachariason** (3:10)
I am. But yes, I have to throw that out there, especially for anyone who listens to Living the Stream. I've been dairy free for five years and I decided that I was going to venture into dairy a little bit and I've been doing it. Because Greek yogurt macros are just insane. And so I've been eating Greek yogurt. It's made me feel great.
I've loved it so far. It hasn't ruined my stomach. I healed the gut. Feel great. I'm just feeling optimal right now going into year 38, man.

**David Kitchen** (3:39)
You're getting ready for your combine. You're 40

**JJ Zachariason** (3:43)
Well, I see what you did there. My combine is how many nights can I write these prospect profiles in a row without just getting overwhelmed by what's going on.

**David Kitchen** (3:56)
Speaking of prospect profiles, we do have the prospect guide out for pre-sale, pre-order. So if you want to save yourself a few dollars and you want to just go ahead and sign up for the prospect guide, head to lateround.com. And then as soon as that puppy is launched, you get an email. Yeah, you will.
