Hello, everybody. Welcome to Health Chatter. Today's show is on motivation. Interesting subject. Clarence and I will be chatting about that. We have a great crew that helps us with all our shows. For the listening audience, if you've heard any of our shows, I always give them high praises, but I'm going to do it again today.
So we have Sheridan Nygaard, who is one of our researchers, also helps us with recording and also marketing. Mattie Levine-Wolf, Aaron Collins, Deandra Howard are also great researchers. Matthew Campbell is our production manager, gets all our shows out to you with a little bit of music attached. So it's always nice. Clarence Jones is my trusted friend.

So today, Clarence and I, we've been thinking that, geez, we've been doing all these shows about health. And how is it that people get motivated to do something about their health, whether it be on the prevention side, whether it be on the intervention side? What is it that gets us motivated? So the listening audience, you can't see, but behind me is my pooch, Murphy.
And I will tell you that he definitely motivates me. Because he'll give you these forlorn eyes as if to say, excuse me, Stan, it's time to go for our walk. And so he motivates me. It's also really interesting, I think, you know, and I've noticed this, that animals somehow or other have this innate motivation in them, okay? They want to do all this stuff.
I'm not so sure that we as humans want to do it all. But anyway... The other thing I think is sometimes we get scared into being motivated.
But anyway, all right, go ahead. I was going to say, I think when Murphy look at you with those soft eyes, he's not saying Stan, he's saying Papa. Papa. I think that's what motivates you to get up and say, oh, God.
That's probably true. So, all right. So let me tell you a quick story here. So I remember, you know, I'll talk about seatbelts for just a moment. All right. God, I think I might have been like 22 or so, 22 or 23 years old. And I got into a car accident. Somebody rear-ended me, and I was pushed into a car in front of me. So the whole car was totaled, the whole nine yards. And everybody was okay.
But, truth be told, I was not wearing my seatbelt. Okay? Okay. Now, from that point on, I was motivated, scared maybe. And from that point on, I've worn my seatbelt, you know, 100% of the time, whenever I'm in a car. I don't care if I'm driving or a passenger or what have you. So notice I was, there was a situation that motivated me. Clarence, what do you got? You got anything similar?
