Hey, I have I have this hilarious story I've got to read to you or tell you guys about that. I read yesterday. I thought was so funny So organ man who's there they are looking for him right now, right? So, uh, so he stole an organ man Guy up in Oregon, right? So this guy up in Oregon steals a call Oregon. Yeah, so organ organ organ If you're from organ, do you call it organ like because I've heard that all the time I get pissed me off Oregon organ organ organ organ organ. You know what happened? Oregonian Adam says shit wrong and then I I'm ruined don't blame it on me. I'm ruined. Anyway, don't blame it on me So so guy steals car. Okay After he steals a car realizes that uh, there was a child in the back seat Oh, so it gets better. So dude returns Back the car and he and he yells at the woman that he's gonna turn her into the police for leaving her kid in the car He's turning this around on her swear to god No, swear to god. It's a real story right now. Wow. Yes the balls Isn't that great? You're still in a car and then you see a child in the back. That's a listen. This is irresponsible lady I'm just trying to do my thing. You know get a new car. Just drive. That's one of those toxic relationship guys You know what I mean? It's your fault. I mean, you know, you walked in you walk right in my hand I Actually looked at it like he has morals, you know I'm saying that's how I looked at it It's like this thief has morals. Well, he probably stealing a car is okay stealing a child not okay Well, when I'm saying he probably mentally prepared for grand theft auto. Yeah was not ready for kidnapping That's another level. I could deal with this and he's like, oh What is the difference in those charges? How much crazier is one that what is that? It's gotta be way different Oh my god, I'm no, I'm sure you're right. I'm care. What lift that up Doug. What's uh, what's a maximum sentence for Remind me of the top of a set. Yeah Did you watch the the the latest season of uh west world? Where they're kind of like they had that app where it was like you could do certain amounts of crime. Yeah, yeah But it was like it's on it. Yeah, and so like he was all going through like I'm not comfortable with this Yeah, it's too comfortable with this, you know, like there's some people. Yeah, I'll steal a ship But I'm not killing anybody. Hold on Grand theft auto is considered a wobbler offense that can be filed by prosecutors as either a felony or A misdemeanor so if it's a felony the maximum penalty one could receive is three years in prison If charge the misdemeanor the maximum maximum panel maximum penalty is a year in jail All right now look up kidnapping Yeah Put in how much jail could I get if I kidnapped? Kidnapping is moving into the person in a substantial difference without the person's consent by means of force or fear Simple kidnapping is a felony punishable by eight years in state prison. Oh, okay. So there's some some more time involved The big difference. He's like this is a misdemeanor. He's like I could do a year I'm still in this Bentley right now. I could do a year for a Bentley, but I am not doing eight years Looks in the back. That's just excessive. Oh, shit That would suck. Uh, it reminded me of when I was a kid once, uh, when you were stealing cars Well stealing cars back in the day You know the hot wire. Oh, yeah, all that stuff. No, I never did that No, we give you out the old slim gym No, friend of mine threw a rock Over a fence and it broke a window and there was a person in the room and so it changes the whole thing You break a first of all, he didn't mean to break a window. So that's like through a rock and window. Oh, shit Person screaming. Oh crap. Oh, well, I don't have anything that crazy I told the store already but when me and my friend were just throwing rocks at this Yellow jacket hive and it was just you know, it was fun And we just kept throwing I don't run it out from a distance. I don't remember this story. You don't remember this story Okay, so there's this one Like I said, this was fun It was fun. I hate those things like I just I just enjoy killing those uh yellow jackets, but um So there there's this corner where you know, it's a blind Turn and we were hiding behind this car kind of throwing rocks at it because we had to stay a distance And they were getting pissed. They were they were covering the sky. It's weird with uh, yeah And so this guy's just like you need to back up and and paint the picture So I'm confused right now. You said driving and then a corner blind corner and then there's a wasp nest What no, so it was yellow jackets. No, no, no, there's a blind turn In the road. So we were basically walking home from school Okay, and we stopped and we noticed that there was a yellow jacket's kind of shooting out of this one spot So we're like, oh sweet. This is an opportunity to grab some rocks, you know, throw it at it Uh, you know stir things up have fun. How old are you right here 35? Yeah I was probably like in fourth grade or something. Okay, okay And uh, so but I still remember this to stay because I I feel terrible about it But uh, me and my best friend we were like grabbing bigger rocks and throwing them and it just was it was madness And this this poor guy was walking up the street And he had no idea like any of this stuff was happening and was just you know, mind his business And just walked literally right into and he didn't walk like on the other side of the road where he would have just probably You know had one or two kind of go after him He walked right in the eye of the storm And they literally just engulfed his body And he was like screaming and then this old lady pulls up and she like she's like get in the car He gets in the car. He's swatting them in the car and me and my friend We're just looking at each other with like ghosted faces like oh my god Wait a second. So a stranger is driving by see No walking by oh, yeah, yeah this lady. Yeah strangers driving by sees a guy getting attacked by a boss. She opens the door get in Let's go. We were hiding like behind this car like watching this whole thing. We weren't like hey stop No, we were just like oh my god like whoa, what's gonna happen? Hang on and he didn't and he didn't know that you guys did it. No Was this in Santa Cruz? I was near my house when I grew up. What's out what town is it? It's up in Fulton. I remember reading that. That's when the guy died He's all anaphylactic shock Traumatized for life. I think there's unintended consequences to mayhem. That's what I'm trying to say. You get a dm My dad died No, dude, please. Oh, I just in my heart. I believe he was okay, dude You know, but these days nobody would have drove by and said get in the car They would have pulled their phone out. Yeah, you know, we gotta record this this guy's. Oh, yeah, exactly Yeah, that's crazy. So I was a little asshole kid. That was definitely not a cool move Adam doesn't talk about his stories. I guarantee he's got a ton. No, I don't I don't have uh that many um I do except the time you convinced your your younger simply the world was gonna end Oh my god, those are harmless though, you know what I'm saying? Oh, it's real harm. Yeah, he wrote a will Yeah, he scored him emotionally for a few decades, but other than that, it didn't hurt him, you know, it stings him or anything like that Yeah, you see, you know, that's what it is and just and I have this in common This is the shit kids do when you live out in the country and you get nothing else to do He comes to ruckus. Yeah, we I one of the things that uh, I remember we got in big trouble for was we lived on top of this So one of the houses that we lived at, uh, we we had this like three acres and it was like this steep hill and We could stand at the top of the the property and we could throw Lemons and just make it to the road and it was so high up and kind of far away that if you're driving on the road You can't really see where it's coming from And you know talk about almost impossible to time like, you know, launching that You know 50 yards and then also the car you got incredible aim. I do And there's a low key flash right I mean you gotta be perfect actually I don't think your odds are one of them. No, I actually don't even think it was me I think I was just you know, I guilt by association, right? I was there So I think it was actually my cousin who had the uh, the accurate arm that that tossed it and hit the top of the The hood of a car and you can just imagine a lamp a lemon coming down like from that far up Well, boom like I mean it now as an adult you're just like, oh That is like immediate. Oh, yeah I mean we actually got away with it as far as the person who we the car that we hit didn't never put it together But our parents caught us, you know, we got caught From our parents and just I think that was one of those lashings or I mean There's so many like you just think back and you just think to yourself that you would kick your own ass Now like if I like I did one I this is one of the things that I regret doing for the rest of my life. So if I did this to you I'm sorry, but we got smoke bomb remember smoke bombs. Yeah smoke bombs were awesome I don't know if you could buy them anymore, but they're like they were like these balls Uh, and they were colored. So it's like one would be blue trying to one. Yeah one would be red And then you delight it and then when the when the when it would get the wick would come down It would be like blue smoke and it was really cool to watch and I mean they're really to be safe. I don't think they were big fire hazard or whatever But you could buy them regularly when I read, you know easily when I was a kid And me and my friend dude we were on our bikes riding and we We'd drive we'd ride by cars with their with the window was open a little bit We put it in there and I know some people went in their car the next day Open the door and it was blue upholstery. Oh, I mean terrible. Oh, yeah, what an asshole Yeah, I mean if I saw a kid doing that now It would be I would be very angry. Yeah. No, that's that's unacceptable at the very least Hey, I have to I have to address this because it's been driving me crazy and I'm And I'm gonna pull up my phone. So I don't forget I get ever since we talked about the apps about the pregnancy My dms at least probably 50% of all like when the oh, I know I should have never brought it up because now everybody's asking And it's not me who obviously has the app. It's Katrina who has it So I've got to remember when I get home to ask her and then to write it down So I remember so anyways, I got it. Okay, so here it is Here are the four apps that she uses or we use right leaps is one I think that's the one we use the wonder weeks and baby sparks And then there's one called the pregnancy app and the bump those are all four the ones that She uses and she likes it tells you what to expect and all that stuff. Yeah, it's cool. No, it's really cool We're supposed to be waiting. I guess one's coming soon for for my son, which were just goes like, okay Because he's she's like he's already fussy. Is this gonna get worse? Like I guess it's gonna get worse. Well, they're different right sometimes it causes them to be fussy Sometimes that you just notice different behaviors, right? So like, you know when he goes through When maximus goes through leaps, uh, sometimes it is like that sometimes all of a sudden he goes from like happy kid and perfect to all of a sudden He's griping and whining over all the shit, right? So that's just part of it But then sometimes it's just behavior changes like right now the the thing that we're in is He's really really attached, uh, to Katrina and I especially me and so it's weird. It's almost like I have to want I do that as a sneak out of the room. So if he sees me and I'm in the room I can't just leave like that's a big deal like I can't just walk out of the room or he'll get pissed If he's not invited. So I have to like sneak out Anytime or if I'm if he's having a good time and he's playing with you know Family or friends are doing his own thing and I walk in like he's Straight over to me and attached to me and it's great. Like I love it. I love the I love that He's like that with me right now eat it up because when he's a teenager's the officer, right? That's what everybody says. So I'm very cognizant of that So I make an effort to enjoy it as much as I pause again, but it does it is a bit of a challenge So yeah, they're all the leaps are different and the app is always kind of I mean at least for us It's been really accurate. I mean every time that we've been trying to figure out what's going on with max right now The latest is I I've told you we're troubleshooting Well before we troubleshoot dairy We're messing with the the raw milk first So and yesterday was the first full day of using it And no no throw-up so it's going to be interesting to see and doc said it should within two or three days you should Yeah, if it was because of that it'll be interesting and then if he starts to or he still does Then we'll actually eliminate dairy in the diet and see if that's it But my theory was we were just drinking plain old grass-fed organic Vitamin D milk Which you know when you when you pasteurize it it kills some of the enzymes and stuff Yeah, it digestive enzymes. So it's you know, that's what I that's my theory is that he's not getting that and so and He's his body's rejecting it a little bit. So so far so good. We'll see My son's got like some gas stuff going on right the kid farts like a man Like i'm seriously. It's a little proud. Oh, yeah, it's not a baby fart. It's like a it's like a guttural Low base. Yeah, and we just die laughing when he does it Oh speaking of that. Oh, so i'm on actually a little bit of damage control because uh, basically we Yesterday was my youngest's birthday and we didn't have any power And so oh right because of the wind and stuff Yeah, we had crazy windstorm come through and like my whole neighborhood just got like pelted with all of these A huge branches lots of trees fell over. It was hard for me to get to where it was crazy But so it took him a long time to get the power back on and some people in our neighborhood have generators I'm obviously like slow to that game. So we We're trying to make fun and make light to Enjoy his birthday and whatnot. And so we thought we'd go up to my parents which live not too far away Because they have a generator and everything and so we were going to go up there and watch a movie And so you had to watch a movie that was like dvd and and so they get to pick out whatever movie Like my parents had there and I didn't know the list and i'm just sitting there waiting and then Uh, they wanted to see something funny. So they they picked blazing saddles. Oh, no, that's not Boy, that's that's not very kid appropriate Like not at all Like I was like I was like mortified like I couldn't even and I'm like one of the first to be like Ah, this is funny. It's this comedy and but like that bell brooks. That's mel brooks. But it was like it was like one of his First ones or like, you know, it is it is so Racy like it was it's like it's like sex jokes, right? Sex jokes, right? Like like homophobic jokes like like just like everything you all the words You don't want your kidney here. We're actually hilarious in there, which it's yeah, like it's there's there's some humor in there And there's like we were in it just for the fart scene, you know, and I'm like, okay It was just one scene where they eat beans whatever But the whole movie was just like this like onslaught of like assholes like saying words and I'm just like, oh my god, like So I I was like after that I had to kind of like do a little talk with them and like kind of explain Like these are some of the worst words. That's gotta be an interesting dance for you, right? Because you have Ethan and Everett Three years apart. Mm-hmm. Is that right right three years apart? so I gotta think that there's things that You're probably okay with Ethan Hearing or seeing or being around but then not so much Everett, but yet they do everything together So how do you manage that? How do you like if it's a movie that you're like, uh, Ethan's probably old enough to hear these things But I don't know about ever doing this like and you and you can't separate them. So yeah, you think it's screwed Basically You know, that's what happens. You know, that's what happens. I'm getting screwed He's gonna get screwed too. You know, that's what happens when when they look at when they do studies on Families where they have multiple children The youngest kid gets exposed to stuff at much younger ages than the oldest might have because of that Well, yeah, because either the older sibling shows them or because the older sibling is kind of like the gauge So it's like that's probably why I have a much more messed up since he was my brother Yeah, he just got exposed all his stuff way too early. Yeah. Yeah. So tell me about the storm Was it like how bad because I know down here You know, I in it woke us up or bad and it was like super super loud and I'm down in the city Oh, yeah, there was we were getting pelted with uh branches like all night. It was almost on Like every 20 minutes like I didn't get any sleep that night because it was like If I didn't hear Courtney heard it and then would just like like get startled and freak out and so I'd keep waking up But uh, yeah, one of my neighbors car had one of these huge branches just like spear through Both of his cars. So he broke both windshields of his car My other neighbor had one go right through like the awning of his uh, roof and then uh, there was one up the street that A whole tree came down and basically hit the end of this this car and pushed it off towards this cliff And then another one like clipped the front of it Uh, and it I was like, wow, I've never seen this Even I don't know why like all these trees were falling because is it that they're dry? Is it we haven't had enough rain or is it like, uh, I don't know what the case is There was a more a fire too, right? Yeah, there's a fire. Oh, yeah. So now okay. So now we're dealing with that too That's another thing that's uh somewhat close again to where I live Uh, that some people are getting evacuated again, and I'm like what's happening, dude This is supposed to be a different year You know like what we're doing this all over again Are we doing this again and and you want to you don't want you don't ever consider not living up in the mountains No, dude, like honestly, this is such a freak thing. Like, uh, we've never had any so freaks happen twice in It was like six months ago. Yeah, I want to live in in barring suburbia, dude. No, thanks Yeah, you live with all the track houses where everybody goes to die No, thanks. I'll live in the woods. Hey, I have something for Doug. I wanted to ask you Doug We brought up the other day Barstool sports, right and we and we talked about their their thing that they are doing and they're up to like what 25 million or something Like that. I want to fund. Yeah, they're fun, right there. So it's I know it's been growing And we got uh an email and sent to us from our our partner with Felix Gray And they have partnered up with barstool sports and this fund. What's going on? Yeah, that's correct So Dave, I'm not that familiar with barstool, but I think he's the host, correct Yeah, I think he's the he's the founder. There's a different Erica. Erica is the CEO now, but he was the original founder I believe. Okay. So Dave uses Felix Gray glasses. He's a big fan And so what they're doing now Felix Gray is donating 10 percent of every robling frame sale Uh through january to barstool sports. This is fun. This is so fucking awesome. It's great I mean, I think it's so cool to see a a private company like this That that's got that kind of pool that is starting to gather all this money to be able to go out and give to these businesses That are struggling so cool to see other and although the famous people that are getting on board now We're seeing big companies like Felix Gray trying to back it It's going to be really interesting to watch over the next three to four months to see how much traction they actually Yeah, I really really like that. They're doing that. It's nice to watch. Yeah, pull up the fund again Let's see where it's at now. Doug 22 million. You were did you see it? That's what it has written up there Oh, yeah, but that's I'm not sure that's updated. No, it's not updated because I think the last time I saw I already seen it at 24 million. Really? Yeah, no, it's going that fast. Yeah. Yeah, so really cool 27 million Yeah, dude for them. Yeah, that's rad. Hey speaking of money. Do you guys see what the mega millions is at? No, Doug pull it up because it changes all the time. Yeah, it's like the hundreds Hundreds yeah, but almost close to like 500. Oh, it's almost a billion Has it ever been that high? Well, Doug pull it up right now. It wasn't the highest like 500 or 700 million before wasn't it? Yeah, I saw it at 500 970 million. Oh my god So it's gonna I mean it could theoretically monopically money anyway Yeah, theoretically it could reach a billion dollars For the mega million now, what are the theories on why why it gets driven up this high sometimes there's no theories It's just if nobody wins it goes up. So it nobody's won for a while. So it keeps going up and up and up So 900 now, what's the cash out? Doug? Is there a way you could see what the cash out is? Yeah, it's what do you mean if you want to take it all at once? Yeah, it's not it's 50% Is it 100%? Yeah. Yeah, you guys ever met somebody who won the lottery like a mega million I knew someone who knew someone who won the lottery and a client that uh, yeah, they actually did. Yeah Yeah, this lady. Really? Yeah, and and they were so uh Like they didn't want to disclose any of that Was it when you worked for me or when you're by yourself? No, I was by myself It was one of my Yeah, it was one of my like clients that I just picked up randomly that you couldn't even re-sign them, huh? Shut up. Well, that's too expensive Can you imagine how weak I would be if that oh my god that just didn't want to be embarrassed. Oh, dude Yeah, no, no, I think you're tight right now. Actually, are you gonna get three for nine nine special? Yeah, I did a takeaway close Actually, I walked away from that deal and then they called me back and and brought me back in and then gave You what I asked for but uh, yeah, they uh, but they didn't want me to know that they're worth Whatever it was like I think it was a hundred million that they had won. Wow, but then but they had only They they basically like they put it in a way where they could like they couldn't touch it until Like because the daughter she set it up so the daughter couldn't have any access to it and everything until she was a certain age And then there was all these parameters that they could set with it Yeah, it was pretty smart and then they basically just like put it in the bank and then like lived off the interest and all that Because the statistics on that is very similar to the biggest loser statistics. Oh, yeah, people go back Yeah, they're not a smart one. I've heard yet Right. I think I think I've read before that it's 75 to 80 percent of the people that win that end up losing Or going bankrupt afterwards like in very similar to causing other problems. Oh, yeah Yeah, because think about it this way imagine if uh, you're imagine if all the people you knew Because it's broadcast, right? So especially this one mega millions Whoever wins this so the way I would do it is I'd see if there's a legal way to have a lawyer go and get my money So I wouldn't want anybody to know. Yeah, because like the your family is gonna hit you up Like there's anybody's ever known. There's no way you don't there's so much tv and pub around it You for for about a week. You're as famous as the most famous actor actress So imagine what they'll be parked down in front of your house Exactly imagine what that would bring right you'd have all kinds of people coming up to you Oh, yeah, you know remember you how about help me out here help me out there So either you'd have to be the biggest asshole and and just be like no Or I would I would lie and say I tied it up just like Justin's yeah They're like, oh, you know what I didn't even take any of it for myself I put it away in a trust for my for my kids. Yeah, and then I roll up in a Bentley like the next day Yeah, they bought all these other properties, but they kept like their first proper It was like East San Jose and everything and so I know whatever I like it was it was totally modest house Like I totally unassuming and I'm like asking for a lot of money, you know with with my services So I was like I felt kind of like an asshole, but then after that I was like, oh, I should ask for more this crazy Yeah, so half those theoretically let's just round it up 500 million then minus all the taxes that you would pay Yeah, just you'd end up with about 200 clean right 200 200. No, it's okay. So I've looked at the Yeah, I have I have looked at this before Just in case Even though I never I actually never buy a lot of tickets But I was very curious on like the difference of if you because you have a I think it's a 30 year choice payout. Yeah, so you can either pay it out 30 years We can take all of it up front. That's if you if you think that the state is going to be solvent for 30 years Right. I do not take that right. So I uh, I and obviously taking it all Upfront you definitely pay way more taxes and if I work for something if I remember Correctly the all the fees and the everything it was it's it's with including taxes. It's 50% So you basically will end up with half of that money, right? And you're that's everything. Yeah. Yeah, that's everything You take it all once. Yeah. You take it all once taxes every deal. That's like it's a half a billion. Yeah, yeah, right It's a lot but then you but I think you get closer to like 75 percent of it If you actually were to let it, you know over the 30 years Doug, let's say you took five that half a billion 500 million and put it into just a savings account What's the what do you get on a savings account right now? I know it's almost almost nothing Yeah, but what is that still with 500 million dollars that comes out to a lot of money? Yeah Well, yes, I think so. I mean like if you get treasury Bills or whatever they're called t bills Well, you could lock you could lock it so you the highest you can get in like a an account like that is like 4% on a CD So CD right the best CD out there right now. I'll get you like 4.2 percent So you do and you can lock it for six months to a year at a time like that So figure 4.2 percent on would you say a half a billion dollars half a billion that's a lot of money still Yeah, no, it's still be a lot of wild So how much would you give us if you want I just want on record each of you guys If I want this one, yeah, let's say you want half a billion dollars. I'll tell you tomorrow. I'd throw each of you guys 10 mil Wow Wow, that's a lot. I would have been happy with it. I just put it in the business But like you guys, you know, we'll figure it out. Well, I don't know like we live in the bay area Throwing you guys a mill is almost disrespectful. I feel like really Yeah, like a million would be like, hey, you could go buy yourself a condo and then this will cover you for the first A couple years of property taxes. That's real talk I was just gonna get you guys a gift card to target I feel like a 10 million gift is to you says like you guys can go buy yourself a modest house here And I got your property taxes covered for the rest of your life. So basically get you a house. That's it That's what you get 10 million here I gave you a million to be like fuck roses. What am I gonna do with this? Oh, dude, I there was a site I wanted to bring up. There's this like funny dad stereotypes I want to see how many of these are true for you guys. Okay. Are we being honest here? Yeah, so some of these are stupid, but some of them are hilarious like here's one Why do dads always shake their handful of peanuts or m&m's before popping them in their mouth? Yeah, that's the thing you just learned that I think it's been passed on for I do the same thing There's I can't just like you have to do this Same thing was like so okay, so my theory is that okay So when you have a whole handful of them, they're kind of sliding all over But when you you shake them around you're getting them right here on the underneath the index finger So you get it's the pot. It's the proper toss. Yeah, so the shaking is placing them in the right place getting the proper toss All right. That's my theory on why I do it. That's a good one. It's logical Here's another one. Uh, why do dads always have really thick wallets? That's kind of true That's the Seinfeld episode. You remember that one? Yeah. No, I don't oh, you don't remember the Seinfeld episode Yeah, we pour it huge People's is walled out. It's like it looks like a triple quarter pounder like this big and he's got like every receipts all the receipts Yeah, exactly. They put too much stuff in there Here's a why do dads always grunt when they sit down? We've talked about that. That just started happening to me. I don't understand that Yeah, we tie your shoes. Yeah, why why do dads think they can outsmart the gps? That's a good one To why I know better than that actually why do dads always sleep on the couch as soon as they sit down? Because we're tired of listening to your only you can do that Sal is the only one in this group that I have seen that can just like on command sleep, bro It is okay. We talk about your uh, it's a superpower your photographic memory The the other skill that you have that I'm very envious of is the ability to like Just fall to sleep you would fall asleep in a in a in your own goddamn meeting to your business Yeah, if we weren't constantly checking you every 15 minutes have to stand up Yeah, yeah, we every anybody who's running a meeting in sal's in it like every 15 minutes It's like you say sal's name. So sal. What do you think of that? Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I agree. I agree No, that's it. Some of these are sneezing really loud. That's definitely a dad Katrina claims Katrina claims now see okay again Now who's who's who's uh, who's coming up with these ideas women that have said this about men Well, I think kids and women because I think that Katrina Believes that when I became a dad all of a sudden everything I do is Enoxiously loud, you know what it is dude. It's that she's more conscious. That's what I said I said, it's not me. I'm the same dude making the same sounds I have for the last decade We've been together You are just so anal when it comes to the sounds with our our son like Literally, he has this is no joke. And I think we're gonna have to see a therapist about this at one point So we Katrina has a minimum of two sometimes three Sound machines in his room when he's sleeping. Wow And and then And then on top of that i'm down to the second level of the house, right? So We're super far away from his room Okay And I like turn the channel up to where I can like kind of hear what's on the tv and she's like turn the tv down It's way too loud. You're gonna wake the baby. I don't feel so bad then. I'm like Katrina. You're crazy I'm like you could literally go jump up and down on the wood floor right in front of his bedroom And he would sleep with those that's what those those white noises do is it it cancels That that distant noise like that it she's but she's I don't feel so bad because I'll be downstairs Jessica's trying to put the baby asleep and I'll I'll close a cupboard or I'll put something down And I'll get a text in all caps Be quiet What are you doing? Yeah I'm sorry. I stomp around like an elephant. You know, especially in the morning. I can't help it Yeah, I stumble. I can't see what I'm doing like it takes my body a while to like see clearly and to wake up properly You need your 15 cat? I try to tell her I'm like I'm six three two hundred and thirty pounds I'm not petite like it's not easy to like move lightly everywhere. Like you do it doesn't work Let's say Yeah, my kids help say that about but why do you do everything so dramatic? That's my daughter Everything you do is so dramatic She goes why you drink water and it's so dramatic and you you close a cupboard and it's so Everything you do is dramatic and Jessica's like Courtney caught me out one of the other day where I was like every time I take a and I just like I'll take a drink or something And I'm like, yes Oh, fuck. I do that every time I didn't realize that you know, I was like, oh it's mind blowing I didn't fight so Jessica over that. It's like, why do you have to do that? Like I know you're talking about like I feel like that was programmed in us from some stupid commercial Hold on a second. Try drinking without doing it. You can't. It's not the same. It's not as good as not at all If I drink it's Jessica's like I can hear you swallow it. I'm like, oh, how did you go out anymore? I can't do that and you guys see uh netflix is now up to 200 million subscribers Holy yeah, so the wait, what's their average monthly? 999 is is it 10 bucks? I don't know. It's nine. Yeah, but I think it was I believe it went up to 12 Maybe dug can fact check me there. They they were nine. I think they started at six and they went to nine And then I think they're at 12. So is that 20? Is that 2 billion 20 billion dollars? I mean, what is that million dollars? Yeah, fuzzy math. I don't know. Use your calculator, buddy. Sorry. What is that? Yeah, it's 2 billion bucks if it's 10 bucks on average, right? It's 200 million Yeah, it's gonna be 2 2 so it was 8 and oh now it's 13 99. Okay and 17 99 So you could probably do an average of 10 like you said, I think that's a good no wonder they're producing so many damn Netflix now. Okay, so I want to hear you guys know that of course. This is just my circle So this is not like I can't back this up other than this I have a lot of friends and we we all have netflix That uh have felt lately that it's kind of like They've just so much content right there. They're the content kings right now when it comes to streaming media But I mean, I can't name one Netflix produced movie that I haven't liked anyone that I thought was like amazing that will go down as like Oh, that's a that's going to be a classic movie. So What is your theories on like and they're dumping a lot of money into that right now of producing their own movies and content And there's not a lot of stuff I know stranger things was a big original that they did that that probably made a lot of money and stuff like that That was a series. Are you talking about a movie either or right? It's anything that the any content that they that's original to them, right? So that's I think that's where we're probably the most profit is right Is that the other one where you had to have your eyes closed the whole time? What was that one bird box bird box? Yeah, that was okay, but that one I think that one made them some money, but yeah, they really haven't had any original You know produced series or movies that have really taken off in a long time Yeah, probably kind of like meh You know what I get a feel from it is that it's an example of when they use like the algorithm to hack, right? So it's like the they all are kind of like too reliant on it. Yeah, right? Like it's it's like, oh, that's okay It's not bad. It's like because they hit all the buttons, right? They hit all the things that this is you're supposed to like this Therefore you don't it's all lukewarm. Well, you know for the hot hot They're going for lukewarm. You know what they do well is they'll buy a series that the Cobra Kai was not Netflix They bought that. I know that was YouTube. Yeah, but I don't know okay What I don't understand is is how profitable I would have okay My guess just like it is in like our business or most businesses Is where the most profit would probably be is your own produced content to buy a series like Cobra Kai from youtube I would I would imagine cost them tens of millions of dollars to do that just to put it on there There's their streaming service. So I don't think that that is as as profitable for them as creating their own content Tiger king. I mean that that was amazing. Was that theirs? Yeah, Netflix They have went on now that's called night stock and that was a cultural phenomenon for sure Tiger king was awesome. Has anybody watched the night stalker one that's up right now? No, apparently it's about the that serial killer The night stalker. I haven't watched yet because I tried to watch it, but Jessica's No, you guys have officially fucked up my netflix completely. How both you two Yeah, and I never touch her. Well, because it's on the truckie house. So whoever's watching it over there the one Upstairs now. I got all this now. I got all these aliens conspiracies Shit like just like last night. We're like we're clicking through and she's like, why isn't our netflix looks nothing like stuff? We watch anymore Oh, well, it's because it's logged in at the truckie house and this is freaking everybody's up there using it And so we get all these weird freaking shows that are I saw one the other day It was like a documentary that had like this lizard-looking person with a crown on their head. I know you know what I'm talking about Yeah, you do know what I'm talking about Just the cover alone. I was like Justin's seen this all right. Come on, dude. You guys that's that's the real entertainment. You guys are missing out It's so out there. I love it. Yeah, I don't know if I want to watch this or not There was a they had one on I don't know if it was on netflix, but it was on the crack epidemic of the 80s Wow, that is crazy. If you guys learn about that Oh, yeah, oh my gosh. That was so devastating. I watched that and then I did watch Some of the tiger woods one. Oh, you did a little bit. Okay. What'd you think so far? I think it's uh, boy, it's so far. I'm like halfway through the first only the first episode. Okay, but man, his Talented as hell obviously naturally talented something that he was born to do But his dad you can see already just the dysfunction and how he's making And he's he's feeding his kid that he's like the messiah You know, that's gonna that's gonna mess up a kid. You don't tell a kid that Oh, I know Imagine the pressure of trying to live up to that right and then you wonder why he went on this like crazy Vegas like you'll see later on right he gets on he goes on this bench of like in vegas Every other week and then they get into like these and these there's like There's companies and of our businesses that like prey on guys like him that are like super wealthy and rich They come in and they literally and in the documentary they talk about this this girl's getting interviewed and she's like, uh, You know, I don't know what her technical name of her business, but she's like a madamer A boss lady of all all the chicks and everything right and and drugs anything you fucking ladypin And yeah, whatever you want to call it and they they get off the plane and they're like Whatever you desire will make sure it happens I mean and then you treat them like that and when you got these guys that can spend, you know I mean, you know people listening you're like, oh, that's but I mean if you're really presented with that Truly and you're on top of the world That's a difficult thing to say no to well, especially if your your ego is bloated and your whole life You've been told that you're the king Right and then and you haven't experienced a lot of these crate like you didn't have time to go Do drugs and party and have you know Orgies and crazy You were too busy. I missed that too You missed that time? Well, you were married in 19. That's what happens guy. Sorry. That's supposed to be somewhere like 25 Yeah, he would seem like he was all studious and a bit of a nerd, you know, going totally. Yeah. Oh, yeah Yeah, no, he totally was and so yeah, this is it's pretty Common I think and you know, this is extreme with like golfing But you see this even with like really strict parents So, you know, like if you have parents who don't let you do anything whatsoever and then the kids go to college And go crazy it's a bad combination of that plus A bloated ego, you know thinking that you are different than everybody or better In all ways and then you just you behave in bad ways people who believe that behave in ways that are not sure Sure, that are bad invincible speaking of crazy stuff. I'd pull up this article This this happened in Arizona. So these homeowners bought this new house in Arizona And as they were they bought it and they're in there moving their stuff And the owners the new owner's father noticed that one of the mirrors in the bathroom was kind of weird So they he went to do something with it and then Found that it was a two-way mirror. No, there were wires Oh, that's why there were wires from the mirror to like another part of the room So they started to in this girl this woman Shared video has shared videos of her house that she just bought on tiktok and is showing people So apparently the previous owners Had wired up this house with all these what did they like airbnb it or They they would they would have parties and stuff in this house Apparently they would spy on people in the bathroom and do a bunch of weird shit They found all the stuff in the house that they bought. What I know that is creepy as fuck Hell they're creepy. You can't imagine that. What's wrong with people? Remember that house we didn't we rent a house once that was weird like that We rented a house in hollywood. We had paraphernalia like everywhere. No, we rented a house in hollywood hills and and I forgot what there. There's a hundred percent was used for a porn shoot. Yeah. Well, no There's a there's a term for it up there and that's actually one of the things that they have to I know that What's the valley? There's that valley there That's where it was, right? Yeah. Well, it's not in close to that area right not far from that area Where we were staying that one time and I forgot what I heard But I know that the all the houses that get rented there that it's like There's all these rules around that because it's so common because people rent them and then shoot a porn and then Yes, and then they bounce out like that. Remember that there were like wires come out of the wall There was a room that we couldn't go in for whatever reason. There was like a mound of ground up marijuana on the countertop still It's like do you guys even have the house cleaners here before us? Like, oh my god We have a few horror stories of houses that we rented they're stepping up dude. They're leaving gifts for them That's how we look to hey roll that shit up, dude. Don't waste that Dude, you guys see that there was a documentary of this guy who owned one of those like motels that He basically like set it up So the there was like an upstairs part or Basically, he could like climb up in the rafters and had like cameras in each one of the room So he could so we could see and was doing this for years And nobody had any idea and he like came clean on this video and was like talking about his obsession with like watching people and like Oh my god, you met people out there like that. Oh the beating. I'll give someone I found out they were spying on me The kicker that's so hard. Yeah, that's not even funny. Hey, it's private. It's speaking of heart I think we have to address so I want to hear what you guys have to say because Of course, it was inevitable when we talked about the somebody asked a question about the 75 heart Uh, and we all went on probably a similar rant about how we feel about it and kind of uh, Poo Poo'd all over it and of course, uh, he has a massive following of people that Love love what he's doing and support everything he's doing And so we got a little bit of backlash on the youtube channel and comments regarding that that we were inaccurate about how we described 75 heart and that You know, it's not designed to be a way of life and that it's really designed to challenge you mentally for the those 75 days and to You know the things that you would normally say yes to and do the ideas that you Are disciplined for 75 days and turn down all these things. It's not designed to be a way of life So it's a spiritual practice. So I guess is that what is that? I mean, that's what it sounds like It's like fasting. Yeah, you know, you're apparently you know for 75 days You're dedicating yourself to this to see what kind of growth you can get out of it I wonder how many people actually use it that way Well, yeah, not only that is you know, does that change your opinions on it? And if so why and if so if not why not it doesn't change my opinions because I I can guarantee you the vast majority of people that are doing it are doing it for Weight loss reasons are doing it for body composition change reasons Just like fasting fasting is such a small percentage of people that do fasting are actually doing it for actually true health You know healthy reasons. Yeah Fasting is just people are using it as a way to starve themselves or lose weight or it's a new diet the same thing So so I think even if it is just a mental thing, right that the people are claiming I still have a problem with it because the the desired outcome of Getting you started or or getting into health and fitness is to create behavioral changes in your life And if you're trying to make the claim to me that this is just supposed to be a mental challenge for 75 days Then what is the what is the desired outcome of after the 75 days? Are you supposed to? Maintain some of those things are you supposed to cut your training from two times a day every single day down to just one time a day or What is the desired outcome or just to prove that you have the mental fortitude to say note all these things and train Two days a week indoor outdoor all the crazy Things around it like what is the real desired outcome of that if we are starting that to kick start Your health and fitness journey It it go it's the opposite of my philosophy with with training a client I want to start them with as little as possible because I want it to stick forever I don't want to say okay These are all the bad things in your life We're gonna go as hard as we can for the next 75 days to try and resist from it to prove that you have the mental fortitude And then after that we can trickle it in how you want. Yeah, I agree with that I think for the most part like it, you know, if it's in introducing somebody into health and fitness I have issues I look at that as more of like a a challenge for somebody who has Good habits already established and this is something that they can kind of stretch their capacity to You know See see what they can do like mentally now that they've figured out like how to manage all these things properly You know in their life physically so I just don't The all or nothing it's very like a similar approach to that like I just I find a lot of flaws with that approach And I've seen that actually in training people all the time. It's like you go too hard It's you know, you're gonna have some successes, but you're also gonna have a lot of failures with that approach Yeah, I'd be really curious to see the statistics on how many people that actually one complete it to be first of all I would I would imagine there's an incredible fallout rate Uh because of how crazy it is. I mean, what does that do to spin somebody out? You know just to create more bad, right and then and then let's let's look at first Okay, what percentage of people don't even make the 75 they fall off before that And then what percentage of people complete the 75 and then what do their behaviors look like for the next six months to a year And what I would challenge and question is Did it really take some anybody, you know, or what percentage of people actually took that ran it for 75 days And then we don't need a great behaviors for the rest of it. We already have statistics on just diet I mean forget all the other changes Somebody does a no carb diet or somebody does a diet where they cut out all sugar We know what the statistics are on that and the fail rate is 80 to 90 percent and they're and I'm talking about they're they're following people for a couple of years I bet if you follow people long enough the fail rate probably goes up to closer to 100 So we already know that and so those are there's and there's more changes than just Diet in that 75 hard. So I would Bet money that the fail rate was just as bad as we see with with with other stuff Yeah, I mean ask you Adam because I know you are always in close contact with our partners and sponsors And from what I've noticed on instagram, it seems like One of the fan favorites By a long shot is magic spoon. That's got to be the one I see the most posts the most people commenting. Am I Am I accurate? Is that what they're reporting? It's uh, it was actually I remember when we first signed last year with them And I was a little concerned. So one of the things I asked like when we Bought this little business stuff on the scene so people know who whoever gives a shit about this Um, I always ask like what their average purchase price is lifetime value of a customer It always gives me a good idea of how well we should be able to convert based off of the traffic that we see and So I can always tell like right away. Okay. This is a product or this is something that we love It's great, but the price point where they're at I don't know if we can if we can sell as much to justify the spend for commercial for them And I'm very on honest with that and I was really concerned with magic. It's so cheap You know box of cereal. Yeah, $39, you know $39 is their average purchase because you get those four boxes that come in for that Right, so that's kind of their their average purchase purchase price, which is low for us We do much better with items that are 150 and above because we don't have a massive Joe Rogan size podcast But most people if we say hey, this is something that we like or use a lot of people We'll check it out. Well Was really worried about magic spoon for those reasons It's actually of all the things that we're partnered with More people use Magic spoon than anything else and I just what I think they did really really well It's what we thought would happen to them. Well, I mean, that's what we we hoped I hope that people would I mean we every once in a while. I saw something on four million days Which I tried the fruity. They're like, oh, I don't like that. I was like, what? I know that's the best you want high bro or what like, how do you not who does not like the fruity cereal? It's like so good. Anyways, uh, it's yeah No, they they out of all the partners that we work with they have performed the best and again, I think it's just because I as I've tried a lot of these like, uh, you know, quote-unquote healthy cereals or cereal that is supposed to have more protein And you get one of two things one the ones that claim high protein high proteins like 10 grams of protein in a serving It's not really that high of protein Or it tastes like fucking cardboard and it's terrible And they just have hit it out the park with how amazing it tastes and the macros are incredible even when I've shared on the show where I've overindulged and I've had like this big old bowl of it when you break down the macros When you look at, you know sugar and protein and calories and it's just it's beautiful So whether you have a nice little serving size, it gives you a little 20 gram shot of protein or you go kind of bananas and you have a 80 gram serving of protein the calories are really Really really balanced for what you're getting nutrient-wise from it. I think that's why it's just done so well First question is from mason burnt Can I or should I train my arms on off days for optimal muscle growth or are compound lifts sufficient in developing arms? You know frequency, although now I'm starting to see people really start to play with frequency of training It's it for a long time was a variable that was not Utilized effectively. I mean you can train muscle groups Quite often throughout the week so long as you modify the intensity just got to manage your intensity Yeah, you can't train your arms all the time super hard But you can train them often if a lot of those workouts are also easy So if you're doing Two hard workouts a week where your arms are getting a lot of work Can you add more volume more frequency and get your arms to respond even more you can just keep the intensity Kind of low the best results I ever got with myself and with clients was Exactly that playing with frequency and so theoretically you could work out your arms Five days a week two of them relatively hard the rest of them kind of easy giving yourself a pump and feeling the muscles work And that's about it, but you'll get great results doing that now What are your guys's thoughts on the the individual variance here of like because however How and I I can't help but think of Justin right in the situation because I think if you watch the two of us do a bunch the same lifts it just looks different and and How he recruits Muscle to do a pull up or a row is different than how I recruit muscle to do a pull up or a row And some people when they do compound lifts Their their arm their biceps And triceps develop incredible with just doing that alone I'm not like that like if I if I just do compound lifts My arms don't really develop nearly as much as if I put some sort of attention and focus on it I think Justin's the opposite of that I think that He can do a lot of the the functional training He does and just stick to a lot of the compound lifts he does and his arms Put on size really well. How much do you think of this is? You know genetic and then the individual variance of how people recruit muscle when they do these lifts That's hard to say. There's always a huge genetic variance I mean regardless, right? But I mean if you look at like you look at power lifters who transition to bodybuilding Right, so these are guys who've been lifting heavy Very strong lots of compound lifts and they move over to bodybuilding And what are the what are the areas that they typically will lack arms? It's usually arms right because they explode they didn't do a lot of Isolation and volume for the arms because of power lifting So I think regardless you'll value from you'll excuse me You'll get value from doing a little bit more volume of frequency. We got to modify the intensity Yeah, I definitely think there's there's both like it both provide value And and I think that incorporating both like especially doing like the gross motor movements and then You know like adding the frequency with isolation movements. Obviously, that's like a favorite recipe of mine But yeah, I do There's there's the opposite too. Like there's people that only stick with You know doing isolation movements all the time and doing bodybuilder cell training But then all of a sudden they'll they'll do you know heavy pull-ups They'll do Deadlifts and all of a sudden like their arms get affected like they've never got affected before So it's just I think it's just introducing a new variable in the mix that really gets them to respond And by the way, this is how maps aesthetic is designed, right? So we have three foundational days which are mostly your compound lifts where you're kind of hitting the entire body And then you have two days a week that are focus sessions and the focus sessions are designed to be multiple for the person So if buys and tries are the area that you want to develop up your arms Then you would have focus sessions where you're doing a lot of these isolation exercises on those other two days So you have the all the compound lifts you normally do and then so that all they are our volume builders That we've built into the programming and it's customizable to the person based off of What areas that you want to develop on your body? So that your arms your shoulders doesn't matter what muscle you pick the muscle And then we show you how to build it into the program That's that program was designed for somebody who has a question like this where they're like Hey, I want to bring up a body part and that's how you do it In fact, if you go to mind pump free.com. There's a guide there. It's free On how to build a bigger arm. So you just download it's totally free And we go in a little more detail on some of the things you do to help develop your arms Next question is from body by hk What do you think of trainers using unstable surfaces to train compound movements? For example barbell back squat or on wobble pillows or a bozu ball So when when these unstable surfaces, I remember specifically because I've been in fitness long enough to remember these being introduced Into into fitness. So when I first started working as a trainer, you didn't see any of this stuff at all You didn't even see a physical ball. It didn't exist. Yeah, this exploded after, uh, you know, certain certifications were promoting Oh, yeah, and all of a sudden they came into the scene and they didn't just come into the scene They took over and and then it then it was like every exercise on an unstable surface because It makes every exercise more effective. So they went too far In the other direction now. I think we're a little bit more balanced Do unstable surfaces provide value? They do. There's some value for sure They could teach you they slow your form down. They could teach you to activate your core and your posture It's of course a different type of movement. So recruits muscles differently. It does improve balance Uh, specifically on when you're standing on unstable surfaces because it's pretty specific So I see value, but I don't the value is specific. In other words, it doesn't replace the value of doing heavy Both feet on the flat four. This is the very bottom of the pyramid This is this is what you build upon like if there's issues with stability Then there's massive value in introducing unstable surfaces in order to regain that and feel Uh, you know, how you need to recruit to be able to stabilize properly Uh, but I mean for the most part, I would use this with clients with body weight And uh, you know, if I'm really trying to specifically address an issue Like that's where I I find a lot of value in that adding load to it You're gonna have to make a good argument for me to really accept that that's you know, something that's of value For the person. Well, I also want to caution you To falling for into this trap of and I feel like this is really common in the the trainer space We get a look we read a few books. We get some national certifications We we come fresh out of college So we have some knowledge and and then we see things and we like to pick it apart and critique What, you know, jane is doing over there with her trainer like oh my god scoff at I can't believe they're training on the That's so stupid and that makes no sense. And here's the thing like, uh, You don't know what that person is training for specifically and there There is an application for almost any weird kind of thing that we've seen before and I've learned now to not judge When I see stuff like that because I don't I'm not in the trainer's head Like I don't know what their desired outcome of of that is. I think uh, sal nailed it that it's Very specific, but you don't know that person could be what that specific thing is for And that that might be related to what they're trying to accomplish And you know, I've done enough weird things for clients that I'm sure somebody looked at me and judged but they have no idea What I'm trying to do, you know, uh, Phil dar you made that comment when we were we were just interviewing him recently when he gets people that are All these coaches and they're critiquing. It's like, you don't know my athlete You don't know them the way I know them. I've seen them move and I've seen them compete for the last three years And there's very little specific things i'm trying to give them and maybe this thing Translates into that even though for general population and muscle building and strength This looks ridiculous. It looks stupid. It doesn't make sense But because I have a very specific goal in mind that I are a desired outcome with this person I do want to train that so just be careful if you are a coach and a trainer and you're asking questions like this Or you're judging other trainers that are doing that because you don't know these things don't fall in that trap of assuming that you do I had a A surfer and a skateboarder and I would train them and so this was one of those things they were trying to improve their The way that the react and stabilize and balance like quickly. So there was some weird elements involved with that too So to your point, uh, you know and specificity was definitely The reason for that. So yeah, you know, there are instances out there for sure Yeah, my favorite tool of all the unstable tools is just a physio ball. Physio ball is the most useful in my opinion Generally speaking and there is a lot of value in using the physio ball for for certain people I mean our map starter program Uses quite a bit of the physio ball and it's I mean that's this is how you want to start working out To teach you proper form gets you to activate properly stabilize properly And then progressing from there to more traditional lifts. I mean, it's a great transition I mean, I would to get a step further and even say unilateral training I mean, that's great stability if you're doing one arm one leg anything The stability that you get just from doing unilateral training is phenomenal So you don't even necessarily need to take it to having tools like to me that's Even more regressing it even further back is just getting to the place where you can do use every limb independently by itself And stabilize the major joints that right there in itself is a great place But again, we don't know What the trainer is what their desired outcome what their potential sport is or goal of the client? So be careful Next question is from magnetic beauty 101 Because of covet I've been doing a lot of walking outside You guys always talk about cardio and how it hinders muscle gain Is there such a thing as too much walking hurting gains? Um, you know, I mean technically, yeah, you could do anything too much can start to take away from your body's ability or desire to adapt In a specific way and muscle building is an adaptation But with walking it's a much lower risk than if you're doing like running or cycling or swimming And also there is uh, there definitely is a time that walking can improve Your body's ability to build muscle. I mean if you're sedentary completely all day long Like a lot of us are a lot of us are sedentary all day long Introducing walking Will improve your health and in could improve your body's ability to build muscle I know this is true for me If I just lift weights and do no cardio whatsoever I don't build muscle as well Is if I lift weights and do some cardio to improve my health So there's a sweet spot and you're gonna have to kind of figure that out for yourself Yes, technically you could walk too much But what that number is or what that amount is is going to be different I think that would be difficult to do don't you and and explain to salman You probably explain this better than I I can is how how our body utilizes energy, right? so if If you have 20 pounds of body fat on you that you have stored energy on on your body and if you run out of Sugar if your body runs out of glycogen to utilize as fuel Its next source it will tap into fat The idea of it starting to metabolize Muscle is not something the body wants to do the only reason why it would go there if it's being forced to go there Which would be and that's where like cardio or exercise really comes in when you're that low of calories So let's say you're in a very depleted state You don't you don't have any you're in you've been in a deficit calorie deficit because you're trying to lose body fat You've been walking around like crazy And then you decide you want to push the body and you want to go run Or you want to do like an intense circuit or whatever That's where we we're most likely at risk of the body starting to metabolize. Yeah, but even that's rare, right? It's pretty rare for the body to metabolize Muscle you have to be really starve yourself to do that really the reason why you lose muscle When you do too much cardio is because your body is always trying to get better at what you do a lot of okay and the Strength and endurance They can be synergistic, but at some point they start to compete So if you want to become a better endurance machine That means you want to become efficient with energy and you don't want to have too much muscle You don't need a lot of strength for a lot of endurance number one It burns up a lot of energy and endurance training tends to burn a lot of calories Your body becomes a more efficient machine You reduce muscle mass and you become better at cardio when you're trying to build strength Then it's less concerned about becoming energy efficient And it's more concerned about building strength which requires a lot of muscle So imagine if you had a car that was like a AI car That could adapt according to you know, depending on what you do with the car If I drive that that AI car at 30 miles an hour, but I drive for 15 hours a day It's going to turn itself into a one cylinder engine car burn very very little, you know fuel And I'm not going very fast. I'm going with 30 miles an hour So that's what's going to turn to you But what if all I do with that car is a drag race it twice a day, you know It's going to develop into a you know 10 cylinder engine very big power burn a lot of energy So this is what happened. So you're sending competing signals to the body at some point And your body's going to choose kind of so you so you can either become a jack of all trades You know if you do a lot of strength hybrid approach Yeah, a lot of strength training a lot of endurance training Then you'll get some muscle some endurance or you could do all endurance or mostly endurance and Very little strength but lots of or you could do lots of strength training where you build more muscle Not so much endurance at some point. They're synergistic but then again at some point they start to compete and that's You know, there's a lot of variables that come into play walking is not one of the ones I'm worried about you have to walk a lot typically to make that happen. So I wouldn't worry too much about that Next question is from melissa noft If women account for 50 percent of gym memberships and the population in general And strength training is so important. Why don't gyms try to make efforts to entice women to lift? Well, that's funny because what hasn't that been the initiative? Well, well, first of all, what is enticing women to lift Uh, the weights look like does it look like painting the machines purple like they've tried in the past? Yeah, I mean is that what is that what you're looking for? You know what they've tried and they're right This is true now the Women make up 50 of the population but actually are a majority of the consumer population like women are the consumers Uh, you know of the population they do a lot of the purchases. They have most of the buying power It's totally true And gyms have attracted women, but it's but they've attracted women with group exercise classes yoga classes and cardio and they they've tried attracting women with resistance training But it hasn't worked now. It's working more nowadays because the information coming out is more accurate But there's a lot of Myth that we've had to overcome like that muscle, you know Strength training builds big bulky muscles that it makes you look manly that if you want a long lean toned physique You need to do lots of cardio in classes and stay away from the weights That's it takes a long time to erase that. Well, yeah, there's a lot of stigma still around that. Yeah And two like the environment itself It's like they've tried really hard to kind of like tone down a lot of the aggressive kind of Uh, you know vibe when you go into the weight room itself because the weight room itself was always a bit intimidating Even for your average person even guys, you know just coming in Uh, and let alone, you know women coming in to try and like do their thing So, um, I think there's a lot of work still needs to be done with that But I think there has been a lot of thought and focus around at least putting the information out So women realize like how much more effective, uh, you know, they can they could make their workouts towards their goal Well, there's a couple things I want to direct one. I don't understand what the Get get some representation here means what what would you guys answer to that? Like what would what would you do? To represent I think what she's saying is is why don't gyms knowing that there's half their members are women or more Why aren't they making the weight rooms more attractive to women? Well, that's my point So what does that look like training painting it fucking purple? What are you saying? What was it the machines are Because there was like some machines that you couldn't like, you know for people that are smaller in general Like they would like, you know, some of the machines weren't set up, you know to Favor that but like I don't I don't see that's where I'm what I'm trying to challenge you both in okay That you're not addressing is what how would a gym do that to give women a better representation? I don't understand without being condescending right exactly. That's that's my point By the way, I'm being sarcastic when I say paint it purple. I know that's sexist I would never say that that that thing is a good idea But that's what I think that's how they pander to women in the past is by Changing the color of the machine the same goddamn machine a guy's lifting on the in the other room. That's green So what would they do to give you a better representation? That's my first thing and then the second thing I'll address and this is uh, you know, it takes me to my conversation this last weekend where I was with our marketing team and he's constantly reminding me that You are the minority Adam. You are not the majority You you having the understanding of like how people should exercise and why strength training is so important women You are a sliver of what the majority think 99 percent of women still think that Lifting heavy weights and squatting and deadlifting is not ideal for them So I that you got to understand that still like this the person who's asking this question You're not that that group. You are obviously aware of it And I think that what we're doing with the show and have been trying to do for the last six years Is to shift that conversation And that's what inspired us because we saw the opportunity because there's not a lot of people that we're speaking to women about Strength training and the importance of it. I manage gyms for a long big box gyms Like these are the kind of gyms that are the mainstream gyms, right? So these weren't bodybuilder gyms. They were just mainstream Fitness facilities and it was pretty rare That a new member a female new member would come in and asked To see the weight room because that's what she was most interested in cardio or the group right? So so the gyms really are just reflecting the market So but it's changing. Okay, because when I first started 20 something years ago You saw one woman in the weight room or none Now you're starting it looks like 20% Yeah of them so it's increased quite a bit and it's continued increased as that gets Becomes a bigger portion or as that's something that they demand and want then you start to see gyms Start to change A little bit or maybe not change at all. Yeah, I was gonna say I was gonna say I don't see I don't see a gym Changing the the structure of it or the I don't know maybe the the conversation around it Maybe the comer and maybe that's what you're asking me right now. Maybe like when you like right now when we watch TV and you get like maybe a 24-hour fitness or a Why aren't there more women like you know squatting 225 on in the commercial or something like I get that Like maybe that's what you're looking for and I and I look forward to the day that you see more That you have more of a cultural portrayal of a lot of women lifting weights as opposed to always doing cardio I mean, I don't really know that yeah, it's gonna come from You know outside sources coming into the gym. I don't think the gym is really gonna be able to like structure that Well, I think here's another thing and we've given crossfit Lots of credit. Here's another place where you know, I think they've done a good job here I think that you see a lot of women with great bodies that do crossfit and they lift heavy-ass weight And so they've done a good job of representing representing women lifting heavy weight Yeah, you know, this is so this is kind of behind that the book that I've been you know Putting together and writing in is is really talking about Some of the damage that's been caused To people's health because resistance training is not There's it's still got this kind of aura around it where oh, it's for for guys who want to build a lot of muscle Or body builders. I mean, let's take this the conversation even further, right? Yes Women feel this way but just me even mainstream average person the average person when they think about exercise If they go to the doctor and the doctor says hey, you need to go work out They don't think to themselves that they should go lift weights. That's not the first thing that pops in their mind They think i'm going to go swim or run go run Even though the evidence the evidence is actually quite clear now that if you had to pick one form of exercise Resistance training is superior. It's just superior, especially when you consider the context of modern life And even if you consider everybody's goals, if you're older, oh, I want to strengthen my bones and move More move better. What's the best form of exercise for that resistance training? Oh, I I wanted I just want to lose weight I want to I want to lose weight and they need a fast metabolism resistance training is the best form of exercise I want to get stronger build muscle obviously Resistance training so I think I hope that soon we're going to start to make that shift where that becomes The de facto, you know form of exercise. It's the one that the default Form of exercise that people turn to but I mean I get why it happened The the original people that showed people what resistance training was all about were body builders So of course it's taking a while. Yeah, it's going to take a while. It's like Arnold, you know You just kind of need more examples. We just need but yeah, we need better examples That's a that's a good thing to say Look mind pump is recorded on video as well as audio come check us out on youtube mind pump podcast You can also find all of us on social media instagram Justin is at mind pump.

Oh the gym's closed So now I'm not going to work out or people say I just I just don't feel like it
