Time is running so we say stand and watching it still weighing -- a get a deal done to exercising since the start Tony little.

How those big dumb bells and wants it intends to work out the deal Tony great -- -- back.

Read our this superhero like -- you that you already are they make you look bad so I don't wanna do that you don't mind I I was I was.

-- people who make me by comparison -- good this is why hook up with people who are planetary systems but I digress.

Tony it's got your sense that.

Everything you do -- -- -- as seal your work what you do and -- you motivate people it's all about and -- getting in in the moment and getting in the zone.

But in Washington -- they're not in -- settled his -- let's get past start.

Our bickering zone they're -- don't know we're near that how would you bring them back.

They're definitely not -- -- believe achieved mode and that's exactly not.

You know I look at what they're dealing with is a product you know it's a product is a plan it's a combination of tax increases with decrease in spending hopefully.

I -- -- -- President Obama and -- present her you know speaker John Boehner.

And you got the customer right the most important person in the whole group of things is the customer.

The American people.

And over again it has been every candidate has -- -- that custom firm you know I doesn't matter whether you're President Obama or it.

You know speaker Boehner or Republicans vs Democrats.

We're forgetting about the people and and that's what you get he can't forget right.

I mean -- accomplished a bad thing no matter how you look at -- seeing off a -- going to be a great thing you know.

And less all of a sudden you're able to take your injuries make it into a product became a multimillionaire.

And I shall pass -- -- money.

You know up his sights on it and they needed this public this 'cause I liken this to.

The resolve to -- lose weight or exercise -- It's not easy you combined votes whoever it's not easy every day you gotta be at this you gotta be focused on and when you talk about cuts that we talked about.

It's sort -- -- lose it way easier said than done they've got it.

They've got to stick to that -- and everyone can make a goal of resolution as we see in the beginning of a new year when Lou's way don't wanna get in shape.

But that the tough part is acting on so my fear is they come up with a deal that says all the right things we're gonna.

Really whack at entitlements and try to control our spending and shrink our government and they never -- because.

Actually doing it is that will -- harder -- promising.

-- you know I look at it you know when you're trying to lose weight.

You don't even more Calgary's right you cut the calories and you worked hard and really tell you lose the -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But you know starting Lila asked to illustrate -- one not two on our loses sort of a do what we would make -- a point I was doing this.

This training program with one at one of our fitness experts here.

And I I I didn't want to exercise very -- that's why I'd I'd maintain my suit because I don't want people -- -- standards and the point was.

I was just making a big deal -- keeping the work out limited and not sweating too much -- not overdoing it.

I think that's when Watson works just a little bit of sweat hopefully not much still a little bit of well -- clipping here and they're not much.

You have to motivate people once they get off -- -- to do something had to do that how would you tell them.

You know again I'd say let's you know.

Let go of the egos you know let the Eagles go in and let America grow okay because it's about America mister president and mr.

speaker and Republicans and Democrats.

It's about all of -- working together for America.

But in America now expects them to keep their promises and America might not like -- when they start cutting stuff so America might come back -- so what do you do.

Not nobody's ever gonna be happy with the decision you know you can't please everybody you gotta go out and try to please the majority of people.

And -- majority it's gonna make a difference I mean if you're if you're -- taxing everybody.

Because it's an easy way to go because you didn't wanna cut.

You know it could affect the whole economy people could be without jobs again you're all right you know it's it's it's not a good area to -- and you know I can look at it like a different area you know when I was growing up everybody mission to free bird providers dinner right he wanted to be -- I think some things have changed and some of the people's thinking because now they listen to free ride.

By the -- of and that's well put clinic and to everybody wants a cut odds are good times I didn't -- it's your personal question you're one of the most recognizable.

Fitness votes -- plan.

-- -- see you go to a restaurant.

You can't pay -- or do you -- out.

I mean if you -- all of Sony little he's eating five to know is what -- I handled that sales proposition a long time ago I believe in the temple theory right.

I vision we treat your body's a temple two -- -- -- amusement center and they never know which based amusement Saturday.

Oh -- good what let's say just hypothetically.

Seven days of amusement Saturday that's probably a good while they're -- more than you're gonna have to cut your calories -- got to go back as negative listen.

What happens if they start taxing us on the pounds we don't -- You know that's a very good point there's got to be some pain.

That -- field for not doing what they're supposed to do right.

Yeah while the Dawson you have to it's somewhere along the lines somebody's got to again let the egos go and what America grow and think about that you does that picture.

Sony you know global -- this -- an economy movies expert.

You just said an English and better than any of them.

-- little America's personal trainer it and I'm glad he's there are not here because you news or drop committed to be fifty and I would say fifty watts what are you talking about.

I'm Tony little -- you could take me last time I was there is that it -- I didn't review I hid from us -- your cat that's fine thank you and I.
