But I will tell you one thing about aging that I don't care for. It's the symptoms that stem from changing hormones, especially as you get closer to perimenopause and menopause. That's why, listeners, I want to tell you about Happy Mammoth's Hormone Harmony.

Hormone harmony is perfect for those menopause symptoms that put a woman's life on hold.

And Brett Favre's life, we've been digging in deep, and this is the fourth part of a five-part series, Brett Favre's life outside of the goalposts, which is what we're interested in here on this show, not Brett Favre, the football star.
That's interesting. But who's the man? What's life like before and after? Who were his parents? Where did he grow up? How did he deal with fame and everything after?
Here's Brett Favre getting personal about his faith, about humility, and about aging. I can't speak for other people, but we, and I say we, more me, but we tend to lean on God when we need Him. Going to rehab, spending time by myself, like open a Bible. God, I need some help.
I can't do this alone. And I remember asking people, and we still are active in the Catholic Church. In fact, Father Tommy, our priest, we take him on vacations and do all kinds of stuff.
But leaning on someone, and I've had enough adversity to walk me through the Bible. You go to rehab three times, you lose your dad. Deanna lost her brother out here on a four-wheeler accident.
Yeah, he was 19 years old. Yeah, on my four-wheeler. We killed a helicopter team out here to the hospital, but it was bad. You know, so there's enough things that you go, God, I need some help here. And you do well for a while, then you slip, and you do well, and you slip.
But I think as I've gotten older, I tend to slip maybe less. I look at things differently. I think at 50, I'm a lot wiser than I was at 40, but I'm sure if I make it to 60, I'll be saying, you were a freaking idiot at 50.
You didn't know nothing. And I'm sure that's the cycle that will always be. And I'm talking about just life in general. What we thought was important at 18. At 30, we thought, what were you thinking? And then at 40, you thought, what were you thinking at 30?
But I feel like you narrow down as you get older what matters and what it takes to achieve whatever happiness. So I think that my faith has gotten better and stronger, but it needs a lot of work. I'm not going to sit here and brag, but I do know that humility is...
I had to look it up. I'm thinking one thing, and actually what I was thinking, I didn't know how to put it in words, and humility was the word I was looking for. There was a time I thought that it was all about me, but it's like the Oakland game or my career. You could say the Oakland game was like my career. I was just driving the car. God was telling me where to go, when to stop, when to pass, when to park.
And that took a while. I think it goes back to playing 20 years. At 21, I thought, once I got into play, I thought, I can be pretty damn good.
At 19, 20 years, I'm like, that doesn't matter really. You need to be thankful that God gave you the opportunity. Also, the one thing that I feel really good about is that I made the most of it. I let him down in a lot of ways. That was one of them I didn't let him down. He's like, alright, I gave you a gift.
What are you going to do with it? I actually told my daughter that today. I said, you got a chance, because she didn't play very good last week. They played Friday and Saturday. She played pretty good on Friday. Not so good on Saturday. She was really down.
She was beating herself up today. I got to do this. My weight. I'm overweight. I said, look, here's the reality.
I said, this is the truth. You got a chance next week to redeem yourself. It starts now. What are you going to do with it? There's going to come a time when it's over. Then what do you do? That's life in general. We have a chance.
In fact, you never know when it ends. My dad died at 56. I was 32 or 33. I thought I was really young.
I'm almost my dad's age. It's kind of like, buddy, I do the physicals and do all the things I need to do. He didn't, in spite of me trying to say, dad, you need to get a physical. He didn't take really good care of himself. He just thought he was going to live forever. That mentality, his age or definitely before him, other generations, I'm sure he'll say, you need to go see a doctor. I ain't going to see no doctor.
I don't care how tough you are when it's your time. But he had apparently had had two other heart attacks that no one knew. The autopsy showed that there was a massive heart attack.
He was driving down the road. Again, he was 56, which is, you know, I'm 50 now. There was a time when 50 was like, man, he's 50?
Sold. Now I'm like, 56? Ain't that, you know? It's really unfair. I look at it as when people are like that, like my dad was. It's really unfair to everyone else that you would be that selfish that you wouldn't take care of yourself. You know, do it for the kids, your wife or whatever. If you think about me, you with the kids, if you just neglected, you'd feel terrible. Well, that's what you do when you don't take care of yourself.
If you just walked away from them, that's really kind of the same thing. So, I mean, when it's your time, it's your time, but I'm going to try to hang on as long as I can. And you've been listening to Brett Favre, part four of our five-part series about so much, and my goodness, him talking about humility, having to look up the word so that those words could approximate what he was thinking about. Am I good looking back at our lives? We can all do that.
If we're not, we're really not living right. How we looked and did things 10 years ago, hopefully we're doing better now. We have this five-part series from Brett Favre and no one has anything like it. And that's what we do here on this show. And whether it's the life of Brett or Henry Ford, where we talk to great historians about him or the Steinway family, or my goodness, our Dred Scott on Spike story by George Will about Kurt Flood. It's just a beautiful story.
