 Congratulations! You're listening to the number one Fitness Health and Entertainment podcast. You did it! We are Mind Pump. Now in today's episode, we answer fitness and health questions, but the way we open the episode is with an introductory portion. This is where we talk about current events. We have some fun conversation. Today's intro was 38 minutes long, then we got into the fitness questions. Let me give you a rundown of the whole episode, right? So we open up by talking about Sony versus Xbox. A little bit of a debate going on between Adam and my son. Let's see who wins. Then we talk about the app, the social media company Parler. They are exploding right now after people are getting pissed off at the perceived censorship coming from places like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. By the way, we're all on Parler now. You can find all of us. You can find me at Mind Pump Sal, Adam at Mind Pump, Adam at Justin at Mind Pump, Justin. Then we talk about mandatory vaccines. It's coming, ladies and gentlemen. Ticketmaster said that they're going to require people to get vaccinated or tested in order to attend their events. We have a little discussion about that. Then I mentioned the strange hypocrisy or application of the laws in San Diego. Gyms are closed, but stripper places are open. They're called strip clubs. Those are open. Then I talk about my wife looking amazing, nine days after giving birth to my son. Good job, honey. Then we talk about the Air Force putting laser beams on their fighter jets. That gets Justin excited. We are living in a sci-fi. Then we talk about Disney. They're going to release their earnings tonight. We make some projections or predictions as to what we think they're going to show. Then Adam talked about the whale that happened at Avila Beach. He thought they ate big fish. They don't eat small fish. Yeah, little krill. Then we talked about magic spoon cereal. Magic spoon makes zero sugar, low carb, gluten free, grain free, super high protein cereal. It's got whey protein, ladies and gentlemen. It tastes amazing. It's like blueberry flavor, fruity flavor. There's chocolate flavor. It's like the cereal you ate when you were a kid, except this is high in protein without any sugar. You can get a discount if you go to magic spoon.com forward slash mind pump. You'll get a huge discount on your box of delicious high protein cereal. Then Justin talked about his wife making fun of him on FaceTime. That's cool. Yeah. Well, thanks, honey. Then I talked about managing the temperature of the bed with the chili pad. This thing is amazing. You can actually make your bed cool or hot. It's water cooled. There is no EMFs in the pad that goes on your bed. It helps improve your deep sleep. Studies actually prove it. Because you listen to Mind Pump, you get a huge discount. Here's what you do.

Then we got to the questions. Here's the first one. This person wants to know what the deal is with power cleans. Are they worth it? Do they build muscle? Were they good for? The next question, this person has trouble sleeping more than seven hours a night, wants to know what we recommend for them. The third question, this person wants to know the difference between good fats and bad fats. And the final question, this person wants to know if we have any tips on how to manage lifestyle, fitness, business, and being fathers. Where's the balance? That's right.

Yeah, a few octaves up there. We have two winners. One for Apple Podcast and one for Facebook. The Apple Podcast winner is Avenga24. And for Facebook, we have Anthony Evans. Both of your winners send the name I just read to iTunes at mindpumpmedia.com, include your shirt size and your shipping address, and we'll get that shirt right out to you. Right out to you. Hey, how funny was that phone call yesterday, Adam? Oh, your son. Well, you hit me. I wasn't ready for that, right? So Sal calls me, right? And he goes, hey, my son wants to talk to you. And they're like, so, I guess like, wait, hold on me to the table, right? So I sent a text message to, you know, our group thread. And I knew I didn't involve Doug, because I know Doug doesn't give a shit about this. But I know that Justin has two boys. I know you've got a teenage boy and the new Xbox and the new PlayStation. And you are a teenage boy. Yeah. And I haven't grown up still. No. And so I knew the new Xbox and PlayStation are coming out. And I thought, you know, this would be cool to have this at the truckie house. I don't play enough to where I would justify spending $500 on myself to use it. So I was really trying to rope you guys in on splitting the costs with me and like, hey, I know your boys would like it. So I sent the message and then you guys are all like, well, how much and divide it? You're like, yeah, cool. I'm in. So I'm like, awesome. I'm going to get myself the Xbox that I want. And then I get a text message from Sal, like, I think it was the next day. It said like, hey, my boy says Xbox sucks. We should do the PlayStation. I'm like, get the fuck out of here with that. Yeah. So Adam sends me like this PlayStation. He sends me like this list that shows the gigabyte stuff and Xbox beats PlayStation. So I showed my son again and he's like, no, no, no, no. So that is inaccurate. Yeah. And he's like a total gamer, right? So we're driving. I was driving them to my house yesterday. And again, he's like, dude, get PlayStation. Don't get the Xbox. I'm like, you got to talk to Adam, dude. He's the gamer of the group. So I called up Adam and Adam's like, Adam goes, look, I don't care what system we get. I'm going to kick your ass no matter what we play. And my son was just like, what? Yeah, I knew that was he just challenged me. He's on PlayStation. He's got more exclusive games. And Adam's like, what games? He's like, Spider-Man. Adam starts cracking up over the phone. Nobody wants to play Spider-Man. Spider-Man. You're a bunch of fairy dust games. He's like, fairy dust. Yeah. Adam goes, we're going to get a lot of sports games. And then he could see my son's wish he saw his face in sports games. Like, dude, you're talking to my son. Did you realize that we don't play sports or sports games? I know. Like, you're like all the role-play games. I'm in a fantasy. Don't give a shit about that. Dude, I was dying so hard. You know what? Now that we've hung out enough times, like at first, because he's so quiet, and like you said, he doesn't give you a lot of read on like his emotions, right? So you can't read if he thinks something's funny. You can't read if he's excited about it, if he's offended by something. But now that I know his personality, you know, he's a little witty, smart ass, dude. He's definitely. Big time. Yeah. He's another one of us. He just comes off as an android sometimes. Right. Yeah. So now I know I can go hard in the pain on him. You know what I'm saying? I don't have to be all soft. Originally, when we first met, I'm like, oh, nice to him and shit. I'm like, no, no, no. Now I can punk him. No, but expect it to back now. Oh yeah. Of course. No, I totally expect it. I mean, he didn't back down. I mean, he was trying to call me out on it. Well, name the games. Let's hear the games that you were talking about. No, he's funny, dude. He's like, his emotions run, like I said before, it's like between a four and a six. That's it. Now, were you like that when you were that young? Do you remember? I was a little bit more, I think I was a little more emotional. I definitely get excited and I'm more vocal than he is. Yeah. So he's more, he's like my analytical side double, right? So he's like super analytical, very logical, very dark sense of humor. I mean, sometimes you'll send me stuff and I'm like, did you send this to anyone else? He's all in the memes. Like he's got that down. Oh yeah. I'm like, don't send this to anyone else. But your father thinks this is hilarious. You're the shadow band. But I laugh on the side. You're like, I get it though. It's really good. Speaking of shadow band, so I think I'm lifted, right? But it's a slow lift. So I'm not even nowhere close to the type of views I was getting before. So you just gradually bring views back. So I'm going to start posting like the saucy stuff on Parler. So you guys know Parler, right? Yeah. Okay. So do you want to hear something crazy? I've seen it get on there. Just the last couple of days I've all of a sudden, I haven't done anything, right? I started the account. I haven't even done a post on there, but I opened the account right away when I heard about it. And for some weird reason, the last like 24 hours, I'm getting ads like crazy. I'm not doing anything. It's because I've started posting, I think. Yeah. So people found me and then they're fine. Got it. Got it. So Parler in a week, right? In one week, went from four and a half million users to eight million. So they almost doubled their users in one week following the election. Well, there needs to be competition, right? I mean, there's so much censorship happening right now. It's like, you want to find another option that's out there. So it's nice to see at least something. Will it be, will it be though? Or is it going to be, you know, temporarily, right? It's always like that when a startup company is like, we're the best because we offer all these things. And then they just completely conform. Yeah. Fair and balanced. Yeah. But I mean, but because they're, they don't, they don't really censor. That's what that's their thing, at least, right? It's free and open. That's where I'm posting my, you know, where I'm going to go hard, you know, where I'm a little, I hold back on Instagram because obviously we have a business to run. And you know, I don't want to get shadow banned or blocked off, but on parlor, I go a little harder. So if you want to see the fun stuff, go over there to check me out over there. You use the same handle, right? We all forgot what I said. I think, no, I think we all use the same handle. Yeah, it's still mind pump sal over there. Right, right. Yeah. But you know, but they're blown up, dude. They are totally exploding because people are leaving. And you know what? This is what we predicted, right? We talked about this before about private companies censoring and blocking and, you know, you get the calls for regulation. And what I've always said is give it time, you'll see competition. People will get annoyed and then you'll an American. Yeah. You'll see other platforms will open up and people will go to them who don't want to have, you know, that kind of censorship or whatever. Did you guys know on parlor, there's a meme making feature yet? This is brilliant. Yeah. So memes are theme. I will make this statement. I've said it before. I'll say it again. Memes are the most powerful form of communication today. There's nothing more powerful. Nothing gets shared faster, spreads faster than the meme. Nothing at all. And I think it's brilliant what they did. So there's a feature where you could post a picture and then it gives you the option to post captions and to make it look like a meme. Smart. Smart. So you can make your own meme. Wow. Isn't that wild? That is wild. I have some drama for you guys. Oh, I love drama. Yeah. Well, I mean, or confirming what I think people were saying was a conspiracy theory just like three months ago, right? So there's this fear. Those are people are running the government. No, not those ones. No, but there's this fear that they were going, that they're going to make the vaccine mandatory. And then there's the other side that's defending like that's ridiculous. Flu shots aren't mandatory. And people are saying they're not going to make it mandatory like that. The way they're going to make it mandatory is companies are going to start saying that in order for you to, you know, buy or use or come here, you're going to have to have this. And did you see what Ticketmaster did? Yeah, Ticketmaster is doing that. Yeah. Yeah, they're talking about making that in order for you to attend their concerts. Yeah. You have to have a vaccine. Now, here's the thing. I don't mind that. I really don't. They're a private company. And not only that, but they're trying to ensure their success. That's the thing. They're trying to do anything they can to just promote like a big gathering of people. That's pretty, that's a pretty tough space to navigate. Yeah. How would you do that, right? Yeah. When you, how many people would want to show up now with COVID cases exploding? Right. But if you go and you know that everybody there has been vaccinated, you're far less likely to, you know, you're far more likely, I'd say, to show up. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense. But then there's that other side of it, like mandatory, you know, that's a bit of a scary thought. Oh, if I did, if government makes it mandatory, I think that would be such a bad move. I don't think that would be smart at all. Yeah. Because it's a, what a, what a great way to ensure that a segment of the population won't do it by telling them they have to. Yeah. So do you think though, that the real reason why Ticketmaster is doing something like this is that that's going to be the only way that government will allow them to open up again? That's what I think. Yeah. I think it's the only way they'll be able to even do it. That's what I think too. And that's why I think it's a smart move and I'm not against it. So I know I started this off with like this conspiracy thing, like just to rile everybody up. But the truth is like, I don't disagree with this. I think that if you're Ticketmaster and you've been like frozen, right? So you have a, by the way, I have a buddy who, you know, my connection at SAP, like he's been there for 20 something years of his life, just recently got laid off, you know, because no concerts, no sporting events, nothing's going on. Yeah. So like, and he's like high, high up dude, right? So it's crazy to think that they let him go. But so if you're Ticketmaster and you can't hold concerts and you can't do any of these, I mean, you're just, you're bleeding right now. And so, you know, you want to get go, you're like, we have, even if COVID's spiking right now, we've got to find a way to get back in the game somehow. This is probably the only way that government will even. Yeah, I don't like that. Yeah, I'm not down with, see, that's again, that's government coming in and saying, you can't provide for yourself unless you do this. I don't necessarily like that. But I do see that I think Ticketmaster would do it anyway. I really do. Oh, you think so? Yeah, I think they would do it anyway, because think about it, if you were the CEO of Ticketmaster. Yeah, I disagree. And the reason why I disagree is because you're going, the people, because there's a portion of people, okay, that listen to whatever concert, whoever the person is that's singing, that isn't is going to be an anti-vaxxer, and then there's going to be people that are pro it. So you're already cutting your audience in half, or at least a quarter. So as a business owner, you would never want to do that unless you had to do that. Well, if you, so if you read, if you look at the current polls, so these are the polls that are happening right now, the Gallup polls show that 70 something percent of Americans will voluntarily get a vaccine when it's available. So majority Americans will do it voluntarily. Now making it mandatory, that's a whole nother, that's a whole nother thing. I don't know what that would look like. But I think more, more people would get the vaccine than not. So I think Ticketmaster would probably do better by saying you have to have a vaccine. Well, what if you bring proof that you got tested morning of like, let's say that's on there. Okay, so that counts too. Yeah, so that's good. That's another option like somebody could come in and like they get tested, they come there, and then they do like the temperature and all that like on site. So it's like a just another wall of protection. So that's what I read. Did you read that? So that so it's not just a vaccine plus that no, it's vaccine or that or that. Yeah. Well, that's good. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You either need to have been tested that morning with proof that you are COVID free or you have to have the vaccine. Those testing companies. I wonder if there's a public one. I wonder if there's a public option. Well, they're already there's at home and stuff, right? So you have companies that are doing all the at home, the at home ones, right? Well, I wonder if those are valid or you have to go to a certain one. Yeah, because if there's that's the certified one, there's your conspiracy stuff, like watch the government get involved in that. Ticketmaster owns the test. No, no, watch some government have their hands in one of the ones. It has to be these three, one of these three, like conveniently they have their hands in it. Whoever gets that certification is going to crush. Oh, yeah. Because how many people are going to go get those? Especially if they make it mandatory, it has to go through. Oh, Matt, see, but here's the thing that makes me so mad. It's okay. First off, I believe that in a free society, people should be able to make their own risky choices and pay the consequences of those choices. And on top of that, that means if you knowingly infect someone that you should also be liable, right? So I'm okay with that. That's why I don't like lockdowns anyway, but that's not really pisses me off. What really pisses me off is the hypocrisy and inconsistencies in what they decide they allow it to be open and not it makes you feel like things are going crazy in San Diego. This is what's just happened right now in San Diego. Gyms are closed. You cannot go work out in the gym. Strip clubs, indoors are open. I don't understand churches, churches closed. You can't have indoor, you know, churches, you can't have, you can't worship indoors, but you could go to a strip club. I don't understand the the logic illogical. It makes my that's what makes my brain go crazy. It's like, what do you mean? You saw the mass celebration here makes sense. Yeah, mass celebrations, you know, Biden projected winners are like huge crowds of people celebrating. Nobody says damn thing. You know, but other things are closed. That's the kind of stuff that makes people want to lose their lose their mind. Yeah, but that's mostly here though, right? Is that that's not everywhere in the country, right? That's us that we're dealing with in California. Well, I don't know, like, well, even New York, weren't they like trying to pass legislation in New York and California? Yeah, I mean, it's very similar. There's some craziness going on. How the hell did the strip clubs stay open? That's what I want to know. It's amazing. I don't know. I had some good lawyers. How the strippers gonna stay in shape without the gyms? Yeah, or the strippers might be friendly with the politicians. I don't know. Hey, so what do you do with it? We gotta keep cinnamon in business. Okay, she's one of my favorites. So what do you do with your gym then if you want to keep it open? Just let people work out naked? No, no, no. We're a strip club now. It's a fetish strip club. Yeah, we like our strippers to do squats. You just do group classes, you know, everybody does like lap dances. Anyway, speaking of nice looking bodies, dude, my wife's bouncing back quick. Oh, nice transition. She looks really, really good already. Yeah, this morning, she, you know, we were hanging out or whatever, and I'm looking at her. I mean, we're what, how many days? My son was born on the third. What's the day? So I mean, he's like nine days old. Yeah. So it's only been nine days since she had the baby, and it just her in, you know, this is what happens when you lift weights in your, you have muscle and you're strong and healthy going into a pregnancy. And then through the pregnancy, I've seen this with clients as well. Yeah. And especially C-section, epidural, there's like a few days added to that of recovery. So that's, that's amazing. She's bouncing back. But totally. I mean, everything, she's, you can see that she went into it and during the process was fit and maintaining your health, eating properly. And it's just, she's just, her body's coming back. She's feeling really good. The real work is done all before. It's the same thing that I used to tell the competitors, people that were wanting to get into competing. It's like, it's not the prep, you know, it's not the, once you're 12 weeks away from getting on stage, it's all the work that you do leading up to that, that's going to make sure that you're successful. I feel like the same things for pregnancy. If you did a good job of building a strong physique heading into the pregnancy, you get away with some of those days off and those, the morning sickness that you have to deal with or losing a little bit of muscle because you built so much heading into it. It makes such a huge difference. Yeah. My daughter, you know, she's, she's turning 11 soon, but she's young enough to wear, she's blunt, you know, still. So she's not quite at the age yet where you figure, so you know what she says is true. So she said the same thing. She comes over and she looks at Jessica and she's like, wow, you look really good already. Jessica's like, oh, thanks. You know that feels good as a mom for sure. Yeah, it does. It does, dude. Absolutely. I used to pay little kids to say that to my wife every now and then. Did you really? Yeah. No. That would have been smart. Had a bit of a life hack. Hey, can you walk up to that lady and tell her? Yeah. Just tell her, man, your body's gorgeous. Tell her she looks amazing. Yeah. Anyway, that would be a good idea. Dude, Justin, for you, I got, I read an article I think you would like. That thing's pretty cool. Really? It's about aliens? No, not. Then I'm not interested. That's your favorite. Yeah. So the Air Force by 2025 is going to have fighter jets with lasers on them. Yes. That's exciting. Yes, it is. Like lasers. Like real lasers? Yes, dude. I'll pull up the article right now. But they're going to like, like incinerate things with? Yeah. So, so they're going to, okay. The air, this is, this was a popular, popular mechanics. The Air Force is putting death rays on fighter jets. Oh my God. That's what it says. So they're working with Lockheed Martin to deploy lasers on fighter jets by 2025. So it's called the shield program. It's going to allow fighter jets to shoot down, that's what, to shoot down missiles. That's what the lasers are going to be. So if missiles are shot at them, the lasers are extremely accurate. Well, I've seen, honestly, like, and this is my nerddom, but I have seen videos of lasers that have already taken out missiles, you know, from the ground. And so they're attaching these now to fighter jets. That's crazy. So can someone, one of you two, please, one of you nerds explain how these lasers work? Like it's like, I think of a laser and I think of a light laser beam that I shoot around with the cat to chase around and stuff like that. How would that stop a missile? Super concentrated. Yeah. Where is, how is it different? I have no idea. And are these, and does it, like if the laser were to hit a human, would they like cut them in half, like a, like a lightsaber? Like what's it? It depends on how intense it is, right? And does it make this sound? Yeah. No, it's, it'll, it'll, it'll burn you. Like if it hits you, you'll catch fire. I don't think it cuts through you. Yeah. Yeah. Because I've seen the videos of them shooting like targets. Yeah. Oh, you have? Yeah. I've never seen a laser video before. You have it? No. Oh, dude. Yeah. I'm missing out. I am missing out. Railguns, oh, those are my favorite to watch too. That's the whole other thing, dude. Railguns. Oh, dude. Yeah. What is that? These, these are, they fire projectiles that, they don't use gunpowder, they use electromagnets. Yes. But they fire the projectiles. There's no friction. So fast and so hard. Like for example, there was this one theoretical weapon where they could literally put it on a satellite. And it would fire tungsten steel rods, right? Down to earth, no gunpowder, no, no, doesn't need any, any type of fuel. But it would, it would hit the earth with such velocity and power that it would be, it would be like equivalent to a nuke. Like a meteor. Like hitting, yeah. Out of space. How does it generate that much speed? I don't understand. Because when some, oh, because electromagnets, and they, they, they propelled so quickly. They propelled it, yeah. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's one called. Like a Tesla rocket. Yeah, there's one called Metal Rain, where it'll shoot, I don't know, like a thousand rounds in a second. And it'll rain out and just take out whatever target. Yeah, they shoot these projectiles and they go through like multiple buildings. Yeah, it's just, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, oh, here's a, here's a laser video right here. Oh, yes. Yes, active. That one's actually on a ship now. Is this one right here? Looks like a big telescope. I wish I wasn't, yeah. Oh, I thought these were like, I could explain a little bit. Don't they have, don't they have a thing? Whoa, what? Boom, no, those are, those are, those are bullets. Okay. That's the, that was the laser. Look, just, just catches fire. The hell? Isn't that crazy? Yeah. What? Yeah. It's going to get weird soon. Don't, don't they have things too, where they can send like sound, like from hella far away, and it just be like deafening? Like that's what they have on those ships. Yeah. Don't they do have that too? Well, they, they have those actually as crowd control. Yeah. Already, you know, with the police and like military, like National Guard kind of stuff, where they put them on these like Humvees, and it can direct the sound specifically to like a group of people. Yeah. And so like, and they get really, really intense to where it's like it's ear piercing, and it just makes you like, you know, fall to the ground. There's a sound weapon that they'll, they'll project at people, and it doesn't hurt your ears, but it's at a frequency that it shakes your, it shakes your inside so much, that you shit yourself. No way. Yes. The brown. It's the brown sound. Is that what it is? No, just, I figured. Oh, that sounds like, yeah, it's the brown note. Hey, that'll stop a protest. Oh, yeah, yeah. We're not leaving. Oh, shit, I gotta go. Oh, here's the long range acoustic. Yeah, yeah. That's what it looks like. Yeah, they, don't they have these on like ships? Is that where they, where you see? I, I think so. Maybe on some of the Coast Guard ships. Yeah. No, the one that makes you shit yourself, I think that one's the best. I would love to see them use that on a crowd. Yeah. That would make me, yeah. This is where I've watched so many videos, but I wish I could like remember all the specifics, you know, just start talking about this shit. Like, like, there's real people behind these, like, what are they talking about? Yeah. That's not how it works. There's no brown sound. So brown sound doesn't do that. What the hell's going on? Oh, no, we are a podcast. Somebody will. One of us, we're going to DM and get checked for sure. Rarely ever get away with anything like that for sure. Anyway, so, hey, some stock market news. I know we bring that up every once in a while. Disney is going to be reporting earnings as of the recording of this podcast tonight. So what are your, what do you guys think? Up. You think it's going to be up? Well, yeah, because they just dropped Mandalorian. So I feel like that was a big move. And write stuff, which I keep trying to tell you guys to watch. So that's going to be a massive hit also. Hasn't already, in fact, actually looked that up, Doug. Is it already turned into a massive look at write stuff, Disney, you know, how it's doing? Yeah, but what about the parks? Is that such a small percentage of their revenue? Yeah, well, they've had the Orlando parks been open with real minimal visits, but like probably like 20, maybe less than 20% capacity. I would think that the parks are obviously massive cash cows, but they also would think that they have massive overhead. Right. Like, are they massively profitable? Right, exactly. So I would, I would, they are, they made them like, I remember seeing this, this is probably way off, but it was like at least like a million a day, something like that. In profit? Yeah. Oh, okay. Because I mean, because nothing is more profitable than the streaming stuff. I mean, the ones, they put that out. Yeah, but is Disney Plus really a big profitable thing? Oh, yeah. It is. Oh, yeah. Okay. It broke records when Mandalorian got dropped. Yeah, but see movies are not out yet. There's a lot of factors that might hurt Disney, you know, but you think they're going to be up high. I do. I say they're going to go, I think they're going to come under expectations. You do. Yeah, that's what I think. It'll be interesting to see. I don't know, Doug, are you looking that up right now? I am. I'm seeing that the reviews aren't great. Oh, really? Yep. I loved it. That's funny. Yeah. Well, no. I mean, you know, I know you make fun of my recommendations. Yeah. No. Watch, write, stuff. I promise you it's good. It really is. I actually, and I actually think that you guys will really like it. It's based on a true story. How could you not like that? Yeah. Yeah. And not every true story is great. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. That's a true story. That is true. That is true. Dude, you guys see, so down we've spent time down in Paso Robles, we spent time down in San Luis Obispo. There's that beach, Avila Beach. Yeah. So I guess there's a big beach for like whale watching and stuff. And so there was these people out there in these kayaks and all of a sudden that one of these whales comes up to feed. That was Avila Beach that happened at? Yes. I saw the video. I didn't know that was Avila Beach. Literally, with its mouth open, like basically took one, like somebody in one of those kayaks in its mouth. And then the person just, you know, barely like swam out of its mouth as it kind of plunged back down into the water. God, that's terrifying. Basically Jonah, you know, in the whale. I did not know that was Avila Beach. That was here. It was crazy, dude. Can you imagine? You're just like, hey, I'm kayaking. It's a great sunny day. Out of nowhere. Yeah. Yeah. Just came right out from under. You know what's suck about that is it's not like a shark or it bites you and then you're dead. Whale, you just get swallowed. No, I don't think you wouldn't, you wouldn't get down because of the, it's got the, what's it called? The, the bait. Just throwing terms out there. It wouldn't get down. What do you mean? It's got a baleen. Is that what it's called? What's the thing called that filters? Yeah, it's like the brush or teeth. Yeah. I don't think you'd make it, but you'd probably drown. Wait, wait, wait. Wait a second. I can explain this to me. So you they got to swallow fish the size of humans. No, they don't. They don't. Whales? Dude, duck has it on here. Whales, look at this. Look at this. Oh my God, dude. That's terrifying. How fucking scary. That's terrifying. Wait, wait, wait, wait. You don't think whales eat fish the size of humans? Like tuna that are like. Do you know what whales eat, huh? Do you know what whales eat? They don't eat other fish They do but do you know what kind of fish they eat? I don't it's it krill. That's it. That's it plankton They don't eat any big fish at all. No. Oh, I mean they probably make their way in there But you know like swallowing them. Yeah, no dude whales millions and millions of tiny tiny little fish And what they do is they swallow water and filter it so I knew they eat little fish They do but they don't eat big fish to I didn't know that no at all nothing Oh, they just eat all day and is it because of what you're you're talking about. Yeah, like pull up a whale's mouth These are all topic I mean, where do you guys get the information on this you're actually like a whale watching attention elementary school Maybe that was my field trip. I'm sorry. I feel bad now for making you feel bad. Well, I didn't know that. Yeah, no whales are I don't remember what grade that was. I mean I See that see that white thing that filters out the filters the water. It's called the bailing. I was right. Oh, all right Wow random fact. Yeah, there it is. Yeah, so they don't eat now. Isn't that a big-ass otter going out in his mouth? That's an accident. Yeah, exactly. I'm sure it happens, you know, like they swallow things back. So that's not what they're going for No, that's okay though. My point isn't that's what they love. I know they don't love humans You know I'm saying but they can swallow something that size Technically, but they won't they'll probably spit it out. You think so? Yeah, I wonder if they spit it out. Yeah, come on I need help over here. Shit them out. I don't know. Yeah, it could happen happen to Jonah Written in there for it was a speaking speaking of by Pinocchio speaking of biting stuff. So this is funny So yesterday I'm I'm getting out my magic spoon cereal, right? So I get in our cover and I open up the magic the the or get the box out Yes, sorry, I grabbed I grabbed the box I'm not kick a this big around so the audience can't see but it's like a size of a silver dollar is chewed out of the corners of the box and I look at Katrina. I go do we have a we have a rat in the house It's like a possum in here and she goes no that was max So Max is Max is going through this thing right now because he's teething and he's got like four coming in right now And as molars are and so he just choose the shit out of anything I'm like, what's a freaked you out. Oh huge rat. It looks like a massive rat got a hold of my magic spoon And I thought and I was a all the corners of the side of the box I'm like, what do you gave him the cardboard box like that? She goes I didn't see it was stuck because we had a you know, he's got paper in his stomach right now Oh, yeah, dude kids eating anything right now I like this kid. Oh, I mean, I totally thought it was a rat It looked like it was just the way it was all chewed up and destroyed and then the fact that it was in the cupboard Like it was closed away. I had no idea But I guess when it came in so like we get obviously shipments of it on a pretty regular basis So it was the boxes were in his where he could walk around so the guy can get a hold of anything Which flavor was it? Yeah, it was fruity. So he's a yeah, but he didn't get to the even get to the Cereal, oh, yeah, just a car making that way. It must a great way to recycle Throw the bottle in Some that I mean so he You know I he is definitely and you remember you brought up the whole sugar thing. Yeah I like I'm on this kick right now of trying to get to the bottom of the I wonder if his teething is Extra bad for him because we haven't given him any sugar. Oh sugar every once in a while would it help numb I don't know if that works on kids that old I think I know it's a newborn thing, but I don't know if it works on kids that old I have no idea. I don't know why it would be different if you've never been introduced to it, right? You've never been introduced. It doesn't work on. Oh, yeah, I hear what you're saying. Yeah If you haven't yeah, how different is he really than your son if he's not really been introduced to any sugar I would think that his body would still respond similarly right until you get introduced to it. Hmm. That's I don't know I don't know just said that when you brought that up I think it could be really nasty for some kids. It's just give some kids fevers I'll give some kids diarrhea my son would get a fever Yeah, he had the fever when he when he first started the first ones were breaking through who's gonna It's the only thing that makes the kid crabby. I mean, he's such a good. He's a very chill kid Oh, he's so chill so so chill and so if he's at all irritable It's like a you know 95% chance. It's because a new tooth is coming in and that's what we know I overwhelmed him yesterday the day so Katrina was out here working out and he was there with her He had his little beanie on and everything a little jacket. Oh, yeah, and you guys know me I have to like I want to squeeze the shit a little kitty run away from you Yeah, so I like go and I very careful not to be too loud or be too aggressive But I didn't hold back enough. So I'm like, you know a little bit and I see his face look He's coming for me You got to win him over Yeah, he's definitely at that face still where he's very I mean it's also this the cleanest us right like I think it Were the the age that they're at that they've really started to piece together who mommy who daddy is stranger danger Yeah, they it's it's there was a major transition from like eight ninth eight nine months You could go any stranger could grab them pick him up and play with him and he would be fine Like he didn't but once they start putting I think becoming aware of who mommy and daddy are and other people like then All of a sudden they get extra clean so do that So we we roast each other all the time on the podcast and like I you know I love you guys are actually like really great at it, you know in terms of like making fun And yeah, you know pointing things out feelings or something. No, okay Courtney's way better Okay, so like so I was I was FaceTiming her because she's still like with the kids and in Palm Desert right now And so I was just like FaceTiming or whatever and she's like like mid conversation just stops And she's like wait a minute and it's like look at are you do you have a blister? Is that a her performing on your face? I'm just like whoa. Whoa. What are you talking about? She screen captures it like like puts a red circle around it sends it back to me and like shows me it like on there I'm like dude like I was gonna say I don't know if that's better than us dude. I feel like I mean yeah I feel like ours are like little softballs. You know they're not like that That's like we go hard on each other though all the time like that was like the insult I did at Katrina that did not land. Yeah, that was not funny at all You can't do that. You cannot be as hard to your wife as she is it to you or is Courtney cool with that Yeah, I'm well depends. Yeah, I can't yeah, I think it's it's pretty much off-balance Like I could take it a little bit more, you know, but that was one of those I was laughing and because it was just like so random, you know that she's You know, she's like you're gonna point something out. That's like really a thing with me No, no, Jessica would cry I can I've got a random funny story for you. So Katrina's best friend. She has a She has a daughter and a son and the son is like I want to say he's Six five or six or a real smart boy And Katrina and her are always talking about you know, she's obviously a head of Katrina and their best friends They're always talking about and thank Katrina has something going on with the kid She's reaches out to her and she gives her advice and stuff and one of the things that she always talks about now that you know Max is becoming more aware and starting to get words and stuff that is like, you know Avoid the baby talk and talk talk to him like he's an adult that'll help progress him and you know Don't don't shy away if they ask you a direct question like be honest about it Don't just because it might be hard and you've talked about this before like the sex talk if they ask questions Be very straightforward So I guess her best friend and her husband were we're talking on the phone the other day and they were all concerned about their aunt Because she just got out of surgery, but she just had Breast implants so she and so they were like, oh, yeah, you know, she's healing on the the five-year-old hears that you know Auntie so-and-so is in surgery and well, what's wrong with auntie? And so she's all of a sudden. She's like, oh shit Okay, what do I say right here? Do I how do I explain this to my son? Oh, well She she had surgery and you know, oh is she okay and what happened to her? Yeah, okay, sir, right And so she's like trying to dodge as best she can by being honest. That's a weird one Right is a weird one because then you're gonna be like, well, why would they do that exactly? So she's like he had she had breast augmentation. Yeah, and so then of course the follow-up when you're that age is like What is that? Okay, well, that's when you decide to have bigger boobs and then he's why would she do that, right? Typical five-year-old so they they go down this rabbit hole of like explaining like exactly what it is and he's you know Obviously a little confused why someone would do that. Well fast forward like a week later They're at they're at like a birthday party or something and the ants there You know boob the breast implant thing happened like a couple weeks before or whatever And he sees her and he walks over to his mom dead like they don't look any bigger Right in front right in front of the right in front of the mom and stuff like that She said she's like turd like beet red like so embarrassed She's like, you know, that's one of those things are you tell people like be as honest as you possibly can to the kid But then you're like, what do you do in a situation like that and how do you explain like why humans want to do that? You know, you know, that's exactly. What would you say with that? I would love this idea That's all you need to know. Hey, so what do you so on so Courtney and the kids are gone? Yeah for a while then yeah, the other kind of setting up, you know down there and doing kind of remote learning because That's the thing about remote learning. It's like at this point. They can do it from wherever So they're just like whatever we're just gonna kind of make the most of this and like my her sister lives down there And so they're all kind of so what do you been doing out? What do you been doing at home? just like Trying to entertain the dogs and like, you know catch up on work stuff and and I took my parents out to dinner last night and Yeah, it's just been batching it. What are you eating? Oh, dude? I'm I'm literally going out And I'm eating places for burgers and steak, you know, and and that's about it in Mexican food That's my go to meet me in Mexico meet Mexican if I could just live as a meaty Mexican, you know connoisseur I'm now when Courtney's in town. Do you guys is it like you guys have dinner and sit down have dinner every night? Or what okay? Yeah, our dinners are yeah, and we'll and I'll contribute with barbecuing and whatnot But like for the most part she does like most of the cooking. Oh, hey, I wanted to ask you guys so So Jessica when she was pregnant wanted a seon all the time Did that it so her body got really hot, right? Yeah before she got pregnant. She liked the house warm Yeah, does it change back or because I've heard from people that I've heard from a couple women They said it never went back. I always now oh, it's so it changed back for Katrina So she's it take a while it did take a while because right even after when she was still I think it was when she was breastfeeding because right breastfeeding kicks up your metabolism, too A lot of calories so I think just her her metabolism roaring more like that is what also kept her her core temperature up Okay, so while she would I felt like while she was breastfeeding I was able to get away with keeping the house much cooler for much longer Yeah, cuz right now I mean the chili pad is saving things because we can't keep the house freezing anymore because the baby likes warm Does not like it to be yeah So that she's cranking up the chili pad to cool down and she's like when do you think I'm gonna stay like this? I don't know it might last a little changed her whole climate It'll be interesting to what you guys do cuz we have so not only do we have the chili pad on our on our mattress We've also got a heater a portable heater in his room, and then I run the AC is so we've got all these Climate but I mean I feel like with all that like I've got it right So she can't complain about how cold the house is cuz we can manage his right and your nannet thing has a temperature on there You don't know that already right so we can look at like she like she and this is something that she swears by that You know between 68 and 72 he sleeps it goes one degree lower one degree Wakes up. It's it's it's an awful awful temperature for him So like she's always wanting to manage it right between that which makes it really hard for me trying to manage the rest Of the house keeping it cool enough for me to sleep So yeah I wonder about that in terms of exposure of like certain climbs because when I was in Chicago like it That's really after that. I turned into like I I got acclimated to cold And I really couldn't sleep if it was hot anymore, you know like I was I did much better when I kind of was here first I remember that happened to me and I lived in Palm Desert for a while And it was obviously it's super hot down there Yeah, 120 degrees in the summer and then I'd come up to San Jose to visit my parents It'd be 90 89 and everybody. Oh my god Like it's not that hot, you know, so I do think that happens. Yeah All right, first question is from Eli J. Hall are power cleans worth a try? What do they benefit? Oh power clean You know power exercises in general are really good at helping you build muscle and Performance the problem with power exercises is the there's a higher skill levels You need to be really really good with your technique and you don't want to go To fatigue or train super heavy until you're perfect At the form at one point I put hang cleans in my routine on a regular basis and my goal was to get good at them The side effects I got from the hang cleans were a more developed upper back and traps that I didn't get from The traditional back exercise so that's what I noticed personally from them Yeah, I think there's it's kind of tough to get triple extension and to get your body to coordinate like Is required for a power clean and I think that it's if there's definitely a lot of value to it because there's not a Lot of ways to apply speed in barbell training and so that that's one of those moves It's like a definitive like I'm working specifically on You know power with with the specific move and so I know a lot of coaches too in the sports world Go back and forth whether or not it's valuable in the programming for their athletes because there's like such a high Education that needs to happen in a in a period of learning the actual skill of it because there's so many little nuances to it So I know a lot of them will use like med balls or they'll do slam balls or they'll do You know more like box jumps and in different ways to get this triple extension in this fast twitch Explosive type of movement instead with with less risk involved. So I think it really depends on your goal, right? So I think there's better ways to build muscle. I think there's better Exercises first maybe specific performance attributes that you're looking for but that being said I also think that because it's a complex movement and it has so much benefit and carry over to strength power building muscle It's an awesome idea and this to me like what I think is someone to ask a question like this And if I'm like training you right? So if you're a client of mine, and maybe you've been lifting for five ten years long time And you're asking a question like it like you want to get into power claims. I think this is a great idea. I love I Think that at least for me personally half of what's kept me going for for decades as far as training is Setting new goals like who cares if it doesn't build the most muscle for you Or who cares if it's maybe not the best performance exercise if you're interested in it It's complex and you like working towards getting good at something It's a great movement for that reason because of triple extension like you're talking about you're gonna build your legs You're gonna build your upper back your shoulders your traps. I mean it's got a lot of carry over. It's an it's a great movement It's a high-skill movement though, and you will need to work towards it But this is also I think what's fun I remember when Justin first introduced like the windmill to me and I remember for like the next six months like All I wanted to do was like train that I wanted to get good at it And I had lots of carry over got lots of benefits for getting good at that and and to me when you've kind of You know done the whole build a bunch of muscle get hella shredded You've you know trained for sports like to keep it interesting and fun, you know And this become to make it something that's a lifelong pursuit I think it's an awesome goal to do things like this to say hey I'm gonna get good at power cleans and start to program it now if you have very specific goals that hey I want to build certain amount of muscle. I want to burn body fat I think there's faster better ways to get there than trying a really high-skill movement in your routine Yeah, you you want to treat this Like the high-skill movement that it is and what I mean by that is practice practice practice practice Don't use lots of weight. Don't use much weight at all. In fact, the ways to learn power cleans is you typically will start with a broomstick You'll start with no weight at all And then you progress to just the bar and then you use just the bar for a long time And then you add 10 pounds and it's all about technique here. So you got to treat it as such It is not like a curl. It is not like a leg press. It's not like any other type of exercise power movements require lots and lots of skills So if you decide you want to do it Treat them as such but I will say this you get good at power cleans, which will take you a while But you get good at them your athleticism will go up more than with other exercises for sure Yeah, I love them and and I took a long time to you know It figure out the move and feel like I was proficient enough to pull it off I like it too as a goal to set, you know if something if you've gone through and you've really ironed out a lot of Deviations and you know, you've you've been applying a lot of good mobility practices your movement is really on point You can stabilize on command, you know, you're moving good weight You're strong enough like this is like the next sort of progression Like it is a good goal to to be able to do something like this that takes a lot of skill But it also demonstrates You know how much work that you put in leading up to that next question is from Brit Cox rich I struggled to sleep more than seven hours a night Which part of sleep is best for recovery and is it possible to increase? Just that part such as deep sleep if so how good question Yeah, so yeah, the deep sleep part supposedly is most Important for recovery but honestly all of them are equally important because you don't necessarily just jump into One stage without going through the other stages Can you make seven hours of sleep better than nine hours of sleep sure you can yeah depends right? Yeah, I know you can you can accelerate getting into REM Well, you can but what my point is that you need to have quality sleep So seven hours of good sleep is better than nine hours of shitty sleep Of course and the ways you do that are the same ways you do What we talked about before but isn't what what constitutes, you know nine hours of bad sleep much of the time as people Failing to get into REM yeah and taking a long time to get there at all or being interrupted while you're in RAM Right is that normally normally what's what constitutes bad sleep is the interruption of that deep REM sleep or? How long it takes you to get into that REM sleep? Yeah, and the ways you can help that are you have a sleep routine turn off your electronics a couple hours before you go To bed limit your caffeine intake definitely don't have cat caffeine after maybe 2 p.m Or 4 p.m for people who are not super sensitive would be the latest I would say Sleep in a very cool room. Those are things that can help you can also try using Canabinoids some people find that cannabinoids make a big difference. I know CBD has been shown in some studies to increase the recovery aspect of sleep for some people so you could do like that like We work with a company called Ned they make a sleep blend that might help you out But you really got to take your sleep seriously You can't just you know You know you're on your computer watching TV and they're like all right time to go to bed and just you know Expect yourself to get in to good sleep. Well random that so I didn't know that One I didn't know you picked this question and see it ahead of time to I didn't know that we had Chile as a commercial today But I actually when I was on the phone with Chile negotiating our 2021 contract One of the things that we were talking about that's been great because I always like to you know How's the company been doing or what all their all their side stuff and one of the things that they said It's been great this year is because of all these tools like aura rings and Fitbits and everything that monitor sleep People can measure yes There's been a lot of people that have been tracking their quality of sleep improvement when they actually start using this tool So, you know, here's how many times they kind of wake up or like yes Yeah, and then how quick they get into RAM like you can see all that like with aura rings I think you fidget a lot more right when you're not in REM So and that and that's to me that's the thing that and that it's hard, right? So like you use tools like, you know blue blockers to get you in sleep or you use things like Ned sleep or use chili pad And people are like it's so hard to like am I is it working? Is it being better for me? I get up the same time like they a lot of times we think that it's it's all about You know am I sleeping eight hours nine hours or longer, but it's not it's about how quick Do you fall asleep get into that REM sweet sleep? And then how little is it interrupted through the night that normally is what makes Constitutes really good sleep and tools like this. This is what they help whether there are tools to help you get ready Like your routine like salicing or that keep you at a temperature throughout the night Those things are valuable and that's where if you're somebody who is trying to get better sleep You know if it's if you get great sleep and you're then these things may be a waste of money for you But if you're somebody who is trying to improve sleep or you get up a lot through the night Or you toss and turn a lot this is where I see a lot of value in things like this Yeah, the biggest issue for a lot of people without realizing is caffeine it really is yeah, and they don't people don't want to face this because Caffeine is because it works. It's what it's enjoyable. It's addicting and if you have bad sleep you need it the next day Right. It's a ritual and caffeine consumption is only increased in recent years And it's funny. I'll work with clients and I'll tell them to Reduce the caffeine intake and there's a lot of him and Haman and Han and then we go back and forth Finally, they'll reduce it or eliminate it and they'll all come back. Oh my god best sleep ever I'm sorry. I didn't really think caffeine made that big of a difference. It makes a huge difference You know if you're having bad sleep and you have caffeine even if it's one coffee cut it and then watch what happens Here's something interesting with the chili pad Adam. There's a feature. I've talked about this before I don't know if you guys have done this yet where you can Have it increase the temperature of your bed to help wake you up in the morning So you don't need an alarm clock. Have you guys tried this yet? Yeah, I feel like I needed to pee right away Yeah, I got yeah, I got me up Yeah Yeah So I set mine so that it warms the bed up to get me to wake up or to naturally wake up and I wake up like Refreshed rather than being like jolted a lot awake by yeah I doubled that with also that alarm clock that like is like rising sun at the same time It was like the combo of both don't have that I get that. Oh, yeah But I mean it rarely do I combine them at the same time? But when it was it was really effective the other thing is don't have kids. That's the other thing I'll help you Good advice next question is from Jor-El a. Morales Can you guys break down the whole back and forth of good fats versus bad fats? Saturated versus unsaturated fats. I thought a macro is a macro. No a macro is not a macro There are fats are different just like there's different sugars and Proteins even have different amino acid profiles. So good and bad fats really. It's about the balance of fats that you have in your body Heavily processed oils tend to be worse for you So these are oils that require a lot of processing to produce So like grape seed oil for example canola oil These types of fats are quite unstable require a lot of processing and we're produced natural fats are Present just as they are for example olive oil you take an olive and you squeeze it between your fingers You produce oil very minimal. There's no very minimal processing to produce that The fats and animal fats I know they get a lot of they get a bad rat But if you're otherwise healthy animal fats are are perfectly fine omega-3 fatty acids and fish are a You know is there any value though to trans fats because I've heard nothing but negative no trans fats are pretty yeah They're pretty much bad. They're very minimal amounts occur in nature And a lot of people in the past at least we were consuming them in the form of hydrogenated oils that were right You know placed in in you know products that were just that showed no saturated fat But the way that they accomplish that in to make it taste is injecting. I really thought the The clip that we shared that Rachel shared on Instagram of max really max talked about yeah I thought this summed it up really well when he addressed this we asked a similar question to him and you know There is there's that there's a camp of you know Law of thermodynamics calories in versus calories out and the truth is like that just doesn't help the average consumer with behaviors It's like okay. Yeah, that's the science right if you if I mean if you or somebody and you're you burn 2,000 calories a day your body does naturally right at rest right so some of us have a metabolism where it'll burn 2,000 calories even if you laid in back if you your body has to utilize energy to operate and to live Everybody's is and it ranges in numbers like that from a thousand up to three four thousand depending on how big you are You can lay in bed and burn 2,000 calories. So by by that science that means I could technically eat 1,500 calories of mint chip ice cream every day and still lose weight The truth is there's there's nothing healthy about that strategy both not for what's my going on in my insides But also long-term in behaviors and so and I think that we try and speak to that a lot of time It's like yeah If if the calories are all the same if it's in the goal is all we care about is losing losing weight Then yeah, then a lot of these things do equate to some to something similar right when it comes to just losing weight But as far as how your body utilizes that and what it does for you behavior wise I mean, that's the things that nobody is taught or nobody likes to talk about yeah And you know the whole good fat bad fat in the past it was all about which one raised or lowered cholesterol So like you know canola oil and margarine, you know sunflower oil and margarine, you know, they lowered cholesterol And they did they did lower cholesterol, but they definitely did not make people Healthier in fact there was a there was a study done years ago where they lowered People's cholesterol by replacing their saturated fats with these processed fats these vegetable oils and everybody's cholesterol did get lower But their mortality increased Saturated fats get a bad rat But the reality is it's very small percentage of population that has bad Effects from having a lot of saturated fat a lot of us if our diets are otherwise healthy Saturated fats don't have that usually because it's a combo, right? It's usually coming from a processed source and so or that or you're having it with tons of carbohydrates In a calorie surplus yeah, and there's a burger There's a bit of a bias there because we've been sold sold so hard that saturated fats are bad that if you took a Survey of people with a lot of saturated fat. It's typically people who don't necessarily care about their health Which means there's other things involved, but like using me as an example. I ate a ton of saturated fat I mean I eat red meat every single day. I eat eight to ten eggs a day I know that's more about cholesterol, but still it's supposedly unhealthy I eat lots and lots of saturated fats my cholesterol levels are borderline too low in fact in my totals You know I have a good ratio, but my totals are pretty low So but there is a small percentage of people that if they eat a lot of saturated fat They do get cholesterol numbers and lipid numbers that don't that aren't so good next question is from prof arbor How do you manage your fitness lifestyle business and being a father? I know you all make it seem seamless, but I struggle with maintaining my fitness work and being a father Well, I'm like super pumped this person thinks we do it seamlessly. Yeah, I know right sure doesn't feel that way for me No, I think structure helps a lot right so like if I I work out every morning at 6 a.m That's how I maintain my workouts if I don't do them at 6 a.m Then they become very very inconsistent because the day throws things at me. I get tired or whatever So that's how I maintain fitness Business, you know we come in here We do the stuff that we need to do and then we hire people Outsource the stuff that we don't necessarily need to do. I think this is extremely valuable in business Especially as you start to grow because if you get stuck in that you're doing everything yourself mentality actually limit The amount of growth that you can have and then as far as families concerned I mean I prioritize things like dinner with everybody I make sure sometimes I'm tired and I want to sit on the couch and not do anything But I have my kids with me and I you know make the choice to do to hang out with them instead or play a board game You know it takes a lot of structure. It takes a lot of balance It's just you got to put your you have to kind of prioritize some of that balance. It's really that that's the big thing Yeah, I mean structure something I've had to learn over the years just to be able to get any of it to be consistent You know and so that's that was one of those It's it's hard for me to think of that direction because I just want to go ahead and do what I want to do at The moment and then you know have that always in the back of my mind like I'm gonna accomplish this and I'll get to it After I get through all these things but to to really be able to Make sure it's a priority. I have to be able to have that space, you know there for that But it's a weird balance still having that flexibility. So it looks different So it's not like you know what I had in my mind of okay. Here's my here's my time allotted for fitness You know, it's an hour and then I'm gonna do this very like very specific program And it's gonna look like this workout. It always changes like so I go in there based on how my body feels I'm changing it all the time and maybe it's less. Maybe it's more But I'm trying to adjust all the time with what I can do and then whether I could incorporate my kids or my wife into You know the fitness and so that way I'm getting family time and you know, it's just I'm shuffling constantly But I'm trying to at least, you know provide some time frames of where that's gonna occur So a little bit different than you guys. I think empathy and honesty With yourself is important here. So The empathy part I think here's the deal you fitness work and being a father Something's gonna give right if you are crushing work and you're a workaholic and you you work 12 18 hours a day every single day Of in seven days a week Fitness and fatherhood is probably gonna give a little bit if you're you don't work at all and you're a stay-at-home dad Then work suffers a little bit and but yet you're an awesome father And then if you're a fitness fanatic and you train seven days a week and never take off Well, you're probably in super great shape But maybe you're a little bit more of an absent father and just kind of half-ass at work So I think being empathetic to you and then also knowing which of those are the other your highest priority So for me right now and that could change by the way where you're at in your life Like for me right now, that's that's kind of shifted and changed like Being a father is by far the most important thing to me right now and with that comes empathy with the way I am physique wise sometimes like a Somebody who has prided himself on keeping myself and you know Premium shape all the time and competing at the highest level like, you know, I have very high standards for what fitness looks like for me And so I've had to wrestle with that a bit of like, you know, I am I may not be as fit as where I'd like to be Or where I was before But I also am I'm being the father that I want to be and so that's the empathetic part Then there's the the honest part too because then there's the other side of of me or many people which is Justifies why I'm not working out or justifies why I'm not being a present as a father So, you know, those two things I think I'm always checking in with myself Like am I being honest with myself when I say I couldn't make it to the gym this week Or was I being lazy or did I not make it a priority to get there? Because I know that if I train two to three hours in a week, I can maintain a pretty good physique You know, it's not competitive physique, but it's a pretty damn good physique two to three hours Yet there are weeks when I don't make two to three hours in the week So was it because I was working so hard and I was being such a great father or was I being lazy? And I didn't prioritize so being honest with your and sometimes it's gonna look like that Sometimes it absolutely was you know what there was a lot of family stuff that happened this week There was a ton of work things that got thrown on my plate So I did my prioritized work and family and fitness took a back seat and I only made an hour this week And so I didn't do well. That's okay Be I'd be empathetic to yourself and be understanding but also be honest be honest and be able to look at yourself and say You know, am I just making excuses why I'm not spending time in this one department And if you need structure in order to do that then I agree with that But I also think that fitness work and fatherhood are three big massive rocks. It's always changing Yeah, that take a lot of a lot of effort, right? I mean and probably fitness the least right fitness really only takes about three hours a week But I do recognize being a father and in a business owner That sometimes like fatherhood and business is like everything for me that week. It could be crazy. It could there's already been weeks where Work has been absolutely crazy stressful lots of stuff on our plate in addition to that. I am not sacrificing father I'm not sacrificing my time with my son when I get home for an hour. That's I've made that like that's my commitment I'm not and so you know what fitness got put on the back burner that week. So what if it's just one week? That's not gonna it's not gonna take me from somebody who is in Premium shape to awful shape in one week's time and that's where the honesty part. Yeah And I think too, you know, when you do things like start a business or have a child You have to make peace with the fact that it's not gonna be like it was before I think this is where a lot of guys will struggle, you know, where a lot of guys will say, oh, you know I used to just work out when I want in the afternoon. That's my favorite time to work out That's what I like to do. Well, okay, it's not gonna happen anymore like that You got to make peace with that or you know, I used to you know, my wife and I are you know We used to just go out to dinner and enjoy ourselves and you know now that we have kids, you know, we well Yeah, this is different now. It's just the way I used to be able to sit down and watch movies and stuff But now I got to clean up the house and stuff and that's what I do now. Well, yeah This is your life is different though. All of those are important responsibilities And so life is just gonna be different now that might mean that you have less time to surf the internet or watch TV or do other things because now you're you're handling other responsibilities and here's why it's important to make peace with that because if you don't you're gonna hate it while you do it You know, if you don't you're gonna be cleaning the house and hating it or you're gonna be doing things and you know You're gonna hate the fact that you have to work out at a time that you you know that you you don't like to work out Or you're gonna hate the fact that you're you're working out at home instead of at the gym because you know You have to save that time You're gonna hate all these different things make peace with the fact that it's just different now And then when you do you actually enjoy the the whole process it makes it, you know a lot easier I think that's a big part here's the other thing too is that in this is this is I like what you said about honesty Adam because Here's where I like to use honesty Be very honest with with the value that you that you place on the things that you spend your money on And so what I mean by that is a lot of us without realizing it the average person the average middle class American spends a lot Of money on stupid shit that we really do if you really looked at your your thing at the stuff You spent money on and let's say you went to Starbucks every day I buy my coffee every morning or you go to Starbucks twice a day You're probably spending two to three hundred bucks a month on Starbucks I'm just using a simple example, but you're probably spending a couple hundred dollars a month on Starbucks What if instead of spending that money on Starbucks you hired a gardener to mow your lawn for you Which now and do your yard work So now you've got a few hours a week Open that you can spend more on your fitness or your family or your business I remember once that you know I came to this conclusion right when I was hiring someone to clean my house It was in you know in the way. I grew up. No way my mom would ever hire someone to clean the house I can do it myself. That's silly. Well, I started doing the math I'm like wait a minute the hour I spend the two or three hours I have this person clean my house if I dedicated it to to business I could earn more money that I spend on that housekeeper It doesn't make any sense Of course, I'm gonna do that or the time that I spend with my family is way more valuable So think of it that way too. Maybe you don't buy the expensive stuff for the designer clothes Or maybe you have a car that's not as expensive, but instead you pay for people to help to free up time Maybe you hire an assistant. We do this here at Mime Pump in our business We have staff here that literally does things that we could all do but what is it does what it does for us Is it frees up our time so we could spend it on other things? And so that's I think a big part of the honesty is okay Can I free up time by taking money away from these things that I spend money on and Placing it in places that might be more more valuable and what that mine pump is on YouTube You can also check us out on YouTube go to mine pump podcast.
