1
00:00:03.799 --> 00:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Hey, there, it's will. I got a proposition for you.

2
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>On a past episode with Pamela Downs, she talked about

3
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>doing the Yes challenge. Right. This comes from the movie

4
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 1>with Jim Carrey right where I think it was called

5
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.839
<v Speaker 1>The Yes Man, where he had to he challenged himself

6
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>or forgot exactly what the details were, but for some

7
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.280
<v Speaker 1>reason he had to say yes to anything anyone ever

8
00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>asked him to do. What happened was extraordinary, right. His

9
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>whole life became something incredible. Things change for the better

10
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 1>in every way possible. Now, I'm not suggesting that's what's

11
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>going to happen here, but I can't tell you that

12
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I have started to try to do that as much

13
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.039
<v Speaker 1>as I can over the last couple of weeks, I

14
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't say I do try to say yes before I

15
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>say no to anything that I am asked within reason. Right,

16
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>So here is my proposing for you. I propose that

17
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>we do a I want to say a national but

18
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever a skeptic of Physician's Yes Challenge. Here are the details.

19
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Don't tell anyone that you're doing this, because if you do,

20
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>you run the risk of someone taking advantage of you. Unfortunately,

21
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 1>we live in a place where sometimes people like to

22
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of other people. Not in a mean spirited way,

23
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>but you know, well, maybe now's my chance to get

24
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>him to wash the dishes or whatever. Right, So don't

25
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>tell anybody you might end up doing finding that you

26
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>have to do things that maybe you're not comfortable with. Now.

27
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that doing the dishes is not a

28
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>good thing. It is. If you're not doing the dishes,

29
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>go do them. I have to be better at that myself.

30
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I've got I've got to help more around the house.

31
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>But I think this is what this is going to

32
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>help me. So the goal is to, uh, if I

33
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>absolutely can, I'm going to try to say yes to

34
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>anything that anyone asks me to do for one day.

35
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>One day, I'm going to do what Jim Carrey did

36
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 1>in the movie. I'm gonna say yes to anything, to everything.

37
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna tell anybody because I don't want people

38
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to know and take advantage of it. But I think

39
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 1>what that's gonna do is it's going to open me

40
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>up to all kinds of possibilities, things that I never considered,

41
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>things that I never thought I would ever do, things

42
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.039
<v Speaker 1>that might have been afraid of. I'm going to try

43
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 1>to do if someone asked me to do them, Because right,

44
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>growth happens at the edge of your comfort zone. We

45
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.599
<v Speaker 1>all know that this is going to be a way

46
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>for us to have a reason to challenge ourselves to

47
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 1>live outside of our comfort zones, to grow outside of that,

48
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>to stretch our boundaries. So if you will join me

49
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>one day of yes day, right, one yes day in

50
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>your life, let me know, because what I want to

51
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>do is I want to try to put together a

52
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>support group so that we all kind of do this together.

53
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even telling Karen, right this is going to

54
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>be surprised to Karen too. After I do it, I

55
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>will let her know. Hey, by the way, I just

56
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 1>spent the entire day saying yes to you or to

57
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>everyone who came at me. So if you want to

58
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>join me in this challenge, let me know. Send me

59
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 1>an email. I'll get it so that we keep it

60
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 1>a surprise from Karen, and then we'll put together the

61
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>little support group and we'll all do it together, and

62
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>then we'll come back and we will exchange notes and

63
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe you can be on the show. We can talk

64
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 1>about it and see how our life changed. And if

65
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>one day we do this for one day and it

66
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.639
<v Speaker 1>makes a noticeable change in our lives. Well, maybe we'll

67
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 1>do a week, a Yes week, or maybe a Yes month.

68
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, baby steps, right, So this is it.

69
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.919
<v Speaker 1>This is the whole episode. I'm challenging you to do

70
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the Yes Challenge, the Skeptic Meta Physicians Yes Challenge. That

71
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 1>means that for one day, you're going to say yes

72
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.919
<v Speaker 1>to anything that you are asked to do. There's no

73
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 1>nose allowed, obviously within reasons. And don't do anything that's

74
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>against the law and or there or anything that's gonna

75
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 1>hurt harm someone else or things like that. But our

76
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>impulse should be yes before it's no, and let's see

77
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.639
