"And by the way, you know, no, not to throw our producer, JB under the bus, but we will make sure that the Discord link is in our YouTube. Maybe it was already, I don't know, but I had like five people ask. Hey, Nico, where's the link? So we'll make sure that you have access. There's apparently a lot of people want to get into this Pro Pickleball Talk Discord. And it's great. And before we get into Hanoi PPA, the last thing I'll shout out, speaking of the Discord, is there are a couple different fantasy pickleball competitions out there. One of them is heavy in the Discord. And I love it. So I think it's a pickle wave that does the fantasy. So basically you can do all five brackets. I think we talked about this last time. And I think Jake Elvar won this one, which if you know anything about Jake, that just means anybody can win. Literally, it's anybody's, you don't have to know any pickleball whatsoever to be good at this. You can literally close your eyes like Jake and you could be a winner and you could win prizes. But they have that one. They have one on match day. If you don't want to guess 120 or so individual matchups and you just want to guess the podium, a match day has one as well. Not sure where our allegiance is lies. But I'm all about pickleball games. And so they're available there now and they're fun. So if your brackets are already busted for fantasy sports or you need the itch between now and fantasy football, it's there. Yeah. I don't know where our allegiance is. On this one either. I think match day is a really, really cool app. I think that they do something where you can basically like choose medalists. Yes. I didn't see like a full, full bracket. The one in pickle wave that we do is like you can pick your full bracket. So it's probably a little bit more for the hardos that are literally going to go, you know, fill out 100 plus different things. I think there's prizes, t-shirts, paddles, all that stuff. So it's, it's fun."

"And that's where America Health comes into play. So as you guys know, I love America Health, right? Because they got a guy, Peter, that checks in on me via email when I go silent or when I need help. He's like the most supportive person that I have as part of the challenge, which has been fantastic. Hanikah, you should do this. Hanikah, try this. Hey, we're rooting for you, right? And when I feel like, hey, I don't have everything that I need, I also reach out to Peter, right? So Peter is like my guardian angel from Merrick. And I say, I think I might have mentioned last time. Hey, Peter, I think I need to look into testosterone replacement, right? Because I'm like 40 and it's going down and maybe it needs to go back up, right? And that's something that's holding me back. And it's like, alright, let's have an honest conversation about this. Let's figure it out. Let's work with myself. Let's work with the health professional. And I'm not just going to blindly subscribe everything that you need, but we're going to figure out what actually works best for you. And we're going to make sure that you got a fighting chance of what you need to do. And we're in the 21st century, the age of AI, where there are so many tools that help you and tell you what you need to do and support you in being better. And why not use that for your health? I'm not saying Merrick Health is AI. What I'm saying is that it is a tool that people didn't have in the past that takes your blood work and helps tailor plans to help you. So I'm not alone. So I have the supplementation I need to feel energized and full so that I can drive by a McDonald's even when there's the Shamrock shake out. And I can say no. And that's what Merrick Health is helping me do. It's helping me say no to the things that don't suit me and helping me change my mindset. I can say yes to the things that matter. So thank you, Peter. Thank you, Merrick Health. This is almost like my Oscar award speech. I have yet to lose all the weight, but I just want to say thanks because you guys make it so much easier. And not only do I thank you, but my family, my wife, everybody. So it's been great. And if you're interested in getting the same experience, you can just head over to Merrick Health.com. If you go to M-A-R-E-K-Health.com, you can get 10% off. And then you can get a guided optimization with code Dink. So check it out. Don't delay. I promise you it's worth the investment."
