Hey, gang, it is Tuesday evening.
00:00:12 Kevin
But it's also April the 1st. It's April Fool's day, and this is not an April Fool's Day joke. And then, if actually all the people that you would expect to pull an April Fool's day type of thing, you'd think Kevin, right? Like, I don't think I've done an April fools day thing since I was in grade.
00:00:27 Kevin
School.
00:00:27 Kevin
So just throwing it out there, that it just isn't my. It ain't my cup of tea.
00:00:33 Kevin
But with that said.
00:00:36 Kevin
UM.
00:00:39 Kevin
It's April, right? And So what do we do at the beginning of every month? We ask you how your previous month was and last month, previous theme was.
00:00:51 Kevin
March for marriage. And So what we do in March is we we March or support the idea of marriage. That is a commitment that it is the building, the building blocks of a good foundation for.
00:01:10 Kevin
For raising children, which is your natural proclivity to.
00:01:17 Kevin
For the human race, which is a very good thing, if if you're looking for purpose in life, there's no better way than to propagate the human race by.
00:01:29 Kevin
Sitting down with your spouse and committing to marriage or making that person your spouse, and that is the first step, and that's what we ask you to do during March. That's the that's was this year's theme for March. It was the previous year's theme for March.
00:01:47 Kevin
Maybe even been the theme before the before that. Ohh anyways, so that's what we did this year in March. Let us know in the comments below how your March for marriage went.
00:01:57 Kevin
And then we'll get you started with this year's theme for April. This year's theme is active April alright, as you can tell, I like to do February. And I also like to do active April. I have a jujitsu tournament coming up. I started doing. I started getting back into jujitsu.
00:02:16 Kevin
Last Thursday, I usually do. Tuesday, Thursdays, the occasional Saturday with the kids.
00:02:20 Kevin
Uh. And uh. Yeah, so we did. I got into jujitsu. I got back into it. It's almost been a year since I've been to a class, and I went last Thursday and I got dog boned. I think I described that on the show already. That's where you put your, you get your in grappling, you get your head caught under, somebody the.
00:02:41 Kevin
The rear side of someone's kneecap and they just, but and bounce your head off of the mat and until you let go. And then essentially they can finish doing whatever they were doing, whether they were trying to get you in an arm bar or whatever. And I was in.
00:03:01 Kevin
The position of being taken into an armbar and I refused to release my grip on my own hand so that I could thwart his armbar, and so I rode out the dog bone for what seemed like 5 minutes. It probably was 30 seconds but.
00:03:20 Kevin
It was definitely a.
00:03:24 Kevin
It definitely I can still feel it in the front of my my lobe. Like I got a concussion. But you know, it is what it is. It's not overly powerful. It's just more jarring than anything else. Just because I'm stubborn and I refuse to let people try to, like, get me into a submission. That said.
00:03:43 Kevin
I went again today. Today there was a little bit more grappling. It's just being active. The kids have been going. I don't usually let the kids skip jujitsu unless you know, obviously they're sick or, you know, every so often I'll let them have a reprieve from it. But we don't typically try to.
00:03:58 Kevin
Skip jujitsu. You know I do because I'm out working and doing all these other things. And it's just like squeezing more time into the day, every minute of my day is already like and so.
00:04:11 Kevin
Just having one more minute of it. But there's a tournament coming up and nobody wants to go cold Turkey into a jujitsu tournament against some people you know and others are complete strangers from other states. You don't know what they're you you have to do these dances right to figure out, you know, their strength. They're still set. But these people come with intensity.
00:04:31 Kevin
Man, they want to win.
00:04:33 Kevin
And if you're like, don't hurt this person, and then they beat the daylights out of you, I don't know. It's something that's. There's something about jujitsu. It's very cool and.
00:04:46 Kevin
I'm glad that I got into it and that's why I'm glad that you're joining us here for active April. Now, let's say that you.
00:04:54 Kevin
Are older, or maybe you're disabled and you can't be as active as you'd like to. We always allow you to draw on the channels, open interpretation of what our month themes are. So even if you're just, you know, maybe you're in your 70s and you just say, you know what, I'll go for a walk with my wife, you know, leading that March for marriage, right.
00:05:14 Kevin
Into act of April, but maybe you're homebound and you know, let's keep your mind.
00:05:20 Kevin
Active. Let's listen to a Kevin podcast once a day, there's a good way to stay active right there mentally, because this is mental jujitsu. Every day I'm pumping your brain full of information. You're brimming you how active you have to be to maintain all the information that I spit at you in one day, man.
00:05:40 Kevin
Surprise, more people don't get concussions.
00:05:42 Kevin
Anyways, you can also stay active with Sudoku. You can stay active. Maybe you want to be more take an active role in writing because you do a lot of reading and then you want to write your own story. I will allow for any interpretations because all of them, for the most part are helping you. They're helping you become a better person, and that's what these life themes are all about. And we've talked about this on the show.
00:06:04 Kevin
