We need you to we need you a little bit more harmonious Speaking of candle. Yeah. Oh my god, dude. So there's this scented candle candle company I can't remember the name of it But they're getting these one-star reviews. Is that the same one that did what's her face is vagina smell? No Oh, yeah, that's yeah, that's who was goop. Yeah, the fuck was that was hilarious I'm sure she didn't got a bunch of money from yeah, didn't she didn't she make millions off of that? I think so Yeah, now you want to talk about sexism. Okay. It smells like my vagina. Could you make millions selling a candle smells like dick? Nobody's I don't think it's sexes. I just think that you know in the business for that. Yeah, I just don't think nobody wants to smell dick Yeah, nobody does no if it was the rock. I mean the rocks cock Sorry, Doug. Anyway the scented candle I take the Candles and the vagina candle and I put him together. Anyway, that's how the rock knew he had COVID by the way Nobody could smell what he was cooking Along those lines there there's a scented candle company It's getting a bunch of one-star reviews because people are they can't smell it because they have COVID That's not why yes, you lie. I swear they're getting one-star reviews and the people are coming back and saying Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. He actually does. I had COVID. That's why I couldn't smell it really. Yes, dude Now did was it we talked about this on the show the coffee test, right? Yeah, that was the one was it 70 or 80 percent? I think like 80 percent of people with COVID will lose their sense of smell hmm and taste that's as a result By the way speaking of coffee. Oh, yeah, I was gonna bring something I if you guys tried a coffee rub on the steak before yeah, okay, so is it good trigger has one Oh, it's so really good. So I think it sounds weird to me coffee with yeah It's like chili powder and there's like garlic I mean yeah, you add a bunch of other kind of spices, but the actual coffee grounds it just helps like I don't know like the it like ingrains a lot of those flavors and into the state Did you make the rub yourself or buy it? No yourself. Oh, you made it. Yeah. Oh, what do you do? Well, I mean, I'm not the best on ingredients and whatnot. So I have to look this up But well, I don't know that I don't know Well, she made yeah, dude, she did but I mean I cooked it in credit. I'm not I'm not trying to Credits where credits do she's she put it together. I don't know. It's delicious. You heard you said you made it That's just something I do Anyways, I mean we're one right? So I always tell Katrina when I take credit for her shit I'm just like well, we're one with the same you know, but what's that? You gotta take the responsibility. So you got ancho chili powder You got finely ground coffee beans, which we had from Pete's and then the teaspoons of brown sugar And then you got hot smoked Spanish paprika and a bunch of other stuff in there, but yeah It was so I we take that you rub that on the meat Yeah, do you do you leave it or do you just go right right to the grill after that? Yeah, 30 minutes at least yeah 30 minutes is like dry rub is about 30 minutes. Wow I know you mean we've had a few hours before Adam. You're so precise with I know it's so Weird so so precise about me you are dude. You're like the temperature. Yeah, we're at this altitude I am not Doug is the Doug's the meat guy, man I I take all I take you know what's the difference the cook and the chef, right? So like the cook is the one that's like very precise every single time. Oh the chef. Oh the chef, right? Yeah, so I'm more the cook. I'm the one that's like out there like messing with it You know and like that was that was Doug stage name by the way the meat guy Before I met a big meat guy. We've got the big Jim guys It's a big meat guy What did you put that rub on Justin? Yeah, so I put it on the steak tips on steak tips and in the This is the grass try tip. Really? Yeah, and is it is it better than when you know when you would do a normal You know like salt pepper. Oh, did you way better? Did you get steak tips from butcher box or did you make those? Yeah, no, we got that from butcher box. So they are I didn't know they had that too. They have steak tips already like that Yeah, you gotta check really good. You know what I know I'm really bad I said our box basically the way we did it was like off of what we use every month. So that's why I was looking I'm just you know what you get ground beef. I'm assuming yeah ground beef. We get chicken thighs I normally get the I always forget the name of them. Is it the shoulder done? Is it the one I was talking about? The certainly in cap. Yes cap. Thank you. Yeah, so the cap and then there's Oh and the ribeyes, so those are kind of like the state. I go I go ground beef ribeye Tritip and then I'll get the pork The bacon is about the only I do bacon bro. I'm telling you right now. I do not like I'm not a pork guy I don't like pork meat unless it's bacon. I don't like ham. I don't like, you know pork chops Their pork is incredible. Hmm. It's really not even selling it further since the day one I gotta I gotta get on that. I promise you Do you do a lot of pork? I do some I do ribs mainly. Yeah, okay, so I get the ribs too That's the other thing I love from there Oh, yeah. Yeah, you just you doing that next. What were you messing around with you told me yesterday? What were you the sirloin cap? Okay, so you were messing with that. Yeah, and the smokers so tasty has a big layer of fat on it Yeah, and that oh speaking of which you guys with the sous vide You know what? I just read somebody sent me a study. Did you get one finally? No, I haven't got one yet Oh, yeah, I'm waiting for Christmas. I thought one of you guys That already passed. Yeah Next year Christmas 2021 so the the I read this study that said that cooking your meat in the sous vide Makes the the protein more digestible and more Essentially, you'll assimilate more of it in the body. That's interesting. Isn't it so Theoretically now isn't it I don't have the study in front of me. Okay. It was actually a study I don't have it in front of me. So I can't quote off of it But with this from what I read what I remembered Essentially if you eat a lot of protein one of the challenges sometimes is digestion Because a lot of protein can sometimes slow down motility Well, it would theoretically then cooking your meat with a sous vide Would make it so that you could eat more protein or less protein and utilize more of it more effectively So now that to me that that brings up the old argument that we talk about and we've brought it up on the show before of There's no such thing as like eating too much protein in one sitting So like well, I mean there is at some point, right? Well, and I think that's what what's missing in that conversation like I know I know I think Lane addressed it You know, I saw one of his videos like a month or two ago And you know a part of the science community mocks that right and we've we've mocked that like oh, you know It's like it's not like it disappears and just goes nowhere. You get those calories and so but if your digestion gets thrown off Well, that's the limit right and if you guys ever ate 80 or 90 grams of protein in one sitting I mean, I'm on the toilet right afterwards You can't I can't imagine that if I take 80 grams in one sitting and I'm on the toilet within five minutes of eating it Is the same as if I take that same 80 grams and I divided in three meals No, of course not of course not because you got a bunch of inflammation going on your body's responding in a way That's not favorable. It's not gonna be conducive to not just health, but your goals your fitness goals, right? You know, it's funny though about protein. I have You know my digestion is always whatever you want to call it weak, but when it comes to meat and protein I can consume a tremendous amount at a single sitting so I can have a pound I've had a pound and a half of meat at one sitting and I'm fine It's when I throw in the other stuff. That's when I got to be careful. Yeah So I max out about 70 75 with that and it and same things out if I do it Just if I'm doing it's like a vegetable and meat. I'm fine if I add it with a carb Yes, then you're fucked. Yeah, I mean then 70 grams is even pushing it I like it's like 40 to 50 feels the best on my digestion. I feel like that. I would can assimilate that fine I don't have any issues. I'm not running the toilet if I do something where I'm pushing 75 plus and especially if I have some sort of a carbon there besides like a vegetable like I definitely Yeah, yeah, hey, I want to congratulate you guys by the way today's the third day in a row We've worked out at the same time. Yeah. No, we're higher than three. I mean like day four or five Yeah, what do you know here guy? Hold on a second? Hold on a second It's Dave boy Dave six. I don't know. Yeah, it's day three in a row We don't get to count last week. I guess you don't yeah, what is it? No, did you break? No, I didn't break either So come on guy the most days we've done in a row is three well Then the most will ever be able to do is five exactly Anyway, anyway, whatever We are and I'm that was yeah, I was gonna say that was a terrible congratulations. I'm sorry, but the bottom line is I'm very proud This is great. I'm having a lot of fun with you guys man. I like to celebrate things that we do. Yeah Let's all pat each other. Yeah, no, but it was it's fun about having a good time with you guys I have been fun. Yeah, the workouts of it the workouts have been great And it's so how high how ironic is it that you got three, you know personal trainers been training as long as we have Buddies, you know, we see each other every single day yet in six years You can you know now you can count on two hands how many times we know it's also I'm noticing about it That's good. Is it where we can almost do meetings at the same time? We have conversations that normally we would do when we're working, but we can do while we're working out So it's funny. It almost felt like nostalgic at first. Yeah, it's like, oh, yeah I remember when we used to do this and like work out, you know together the more and then it's like Oh, we're still doing this It's a good time. It's a good time. Dude, you guys want to hear something hilarious You know how I brought up that stimulus bill a couple times. Oh, yeah Yeah, the one that they okay, so do you want to know so someone did the math this economist did the math Here's some interesting statistics with it. So that it was a 900 billion dollar stimulus package, right? For 900 billion if they gave it all to individuals So if they didn't give it to overseas countries on stuff, they just gave it to people They could have given every US household a check for $7,000 Okay, how if they only cut checks to households that experienced unemployment Then that number would have been $30,000. Wow But instead there was so the 7,000 does that include everybody that's every household like us to I think it's every I don't know it just said this is a an economist That's exactly what I would want to happen. Yeah, you know for people unemployed. Those are the ones that need it Yeah, but you know Pakistan needed 10 million dollars for you know what it was gender stuff or something Thank you It's so weird to me that we what we're that we're sending millions of dollars overseas. It's it's a special interest It's all special interest stuff. So when something like this happens and they're able to pass a big thing they'll make a huge bill they'll give you six hours to pass it and Doug buried inside of it is money for their friends and other places because it might say, you know 15 million for you know to help, you know, whatever country with you know poverty Reality we're just giving it to their government and then they can decide to do what they want with it Usually what they do is they buy military stuff either back from us So they'll get the 10 million to buy this was the problem with 2020 Yeah, just having to being forced to watch like all of the normal Transactions that these politicians are responsible. Oh, that's a good time. I'm ready for it to be over Hey, you know, you know Christmas is over, but I was reading this thing on Santa Claus I thought was really interesting. I want to show you did you know that like Coca-Cola is responsible for like the the image of what Santa Claus Isn't that interesting? So what we think of Santa? Yeah, the road the rosy cheeks the big white beard the big belly like what did they think of him before I Don't remember what I read it. I don't know if they said so before it was in 1930 1931 I think is what he had father Christmas, right? Was that the one that was before that and so they they pulled They actually pulled from I want to say a Charles Dickens like Like his description from like a book and then created illustrious Carol. Yeah. Yeah, it was something like that Yeah, I can't remember what it was it was and then that's how they they came up with the illustration But the whole big belly jolly rosy cheeks and all that that came from Coca-Cola So I just pulled up. I just went online and I did Get a ton of coke. I've typed in Doug. You might want to just night Santa Claus 1900 and then look at the pictures. I'm so glad coca-cola made this look better It looks more like a like a homeless Homeless guy in the trees. Yeah, pull it up and pull up images See what Santa used to look like it's kind of terrifying some of these pictures. They look like an old wizard Yeah, yeah, look at that first pig. He wasn't even fat though. Look at that. He wasn't jolly or anything Yeah, then he drank coke and that's what happened Carney, you know, it looks a little bit like you travel. There it is. I chose we like Santa to be obese That's the way how interesting the hipster car. I thought that was so interesting though It's something that a house of a brand a soda brand Came up with something that we all celebrate and we just take as the norm today. Yeah, it's really interesting I still was like my mind was boggled with the whole elf on the shelf thing And I'm like and this like was readily accepted by like everybody all of a sudden. Yeah I'm like what this is totally how these things just happen. You know, everybody's just like oh This is this is the thing. That's a good point, right? Like 30 40 years from now to be like everybody has to do off on the shelf. It's like a man. I refuse. Yeah, dude Oh, you don't know. I don't you do it. Don't you? Yeah, but I've been like it's just cuz my youngest He's still kind of so I need schooling from both of you there because I think you start it You got to do it. Well, that's what everybody says once you start it you can you got to commit to it It looks funny and fun. It's kind of fun cuz it's He's not like I mean he still really believes in Santa and all that and it's great and his brother's trying to keep it You know keep it alive for us and stuff, which I appreciate but yeah the elf on the shelf thing I've never been that into it other than sometimes I'll put him like in a Tie fighter or something and like have him exploding and you know or like just like Situations where you know you can make it creative like fun with it. You got to commit to changing. You got to do it every time It's exhausting. Yeah might so my daughter now that we have a baby now She's okay with admitting that she knows Santa's not real because I think now she realized she's gonna get Santa gift no matter what You know, oh, all of a sudden she's like, yeah So I plan to cut him off as soon as my my son stops believing that's like that's how I want to teach him So I'm gonna say so every year I'll do we'll do like a gift from Santa Claus, right? They come and then when it gets to that age when he's a little bit older and he starts questioning it Dad is Santa for real my answer to that will be only if you believe if you don't believe he's not real son So if you don't believe he's your kid, dude, he's smart. He'll be like he'll be like I believe till he's 20 years He gets a gift, you don't say yeah my oldest like so he obviously kind of figured all this stuff out And so our thing was to like bring him in and so he is like the Santa now And he does it for his brother and like so he does. Oh, that's nice. That's a great idea So yeah, so that actually worked out. I thought was Courtney's idea again I'll give for credit Now that's what we're gonna do with the radius now because his older siblings are a lot older right my daughter's 11 My son's you know 15. Yeah, so we're gonna it's gonna be fun now cuz I'm gonna tell the kids All right, we need to make this as believable as possible So you know do the hoof prints and the cookies and it's just fun Maybe I'm thinking about doing like the camera, you know, we'll set up a camera. Did you dress up? Yeah, did you ever see the off on the shelf thing that that video that was viral? That was hilarious, dude That was so I don't know how the parents did that but they oh, yeah It was almost like Blair Witch. Yes. They made like they made them. Yeah, they made I don't know They probably use like some fishing line that was like clear or whatever and so and it's like black and white camera the candles those cameras Aren't that good of quality So it just looks like he moves across the living room And then it looks like all sudden you see him disappear because he's underneath the camera And then all of a sudden he has a sheet and he throws it over that Throws it over the camera. Yeah, that was next level, dude I got I got him good one time because like I had a sonos So it was like like every time he'd ask the elf something like you know play Christmas music, you know And then turn it off after you know, like so it was like going back and forth with it And he was like tripping out. Oh, I used to play games I got my kids where I'd be at the stoplight and then it'd be red But you know, you could tell when it's gonna turn green by looking at the other lights Yeah, so I'd tell me like watch this I got magic and then I snap my finger It would turn green and my kids for the longest time were just They were they were tripping out. They were like, that's so funny. I do this They're like, but I do the whole like Jedi like, you know, watch daddy use the force. Yeah I do that a few times. It didn't last long. It didn't believe me after it'd be funny Because we'd be stopped. We'd be stopped at a red light and Mike my son would be like come on do it Do it. I'm like, I don't feel like it I'd be watching the light. I'd be watching the light. I don't feel all right fine. And then turn green You know, like, oh my god Hey speaking of elf stuff, so you know John Favreau, right He directed elf which became an instant classic. I saw this whole thing about appreciation for him Iron man, which he basically he basically Like completely created that whole franchise because he's such a good job with iron man And then star wars. Yep And he did such a good job with star wars that people are realizing how shitty all the other ones are Exactly 100% no, you're you're totally accurate with that serious. You guys got to watch Um God, there's this uh, let's see the movie the christmas movies that made us on netflix Oh, yeah, and there's a there's an episode on elf and they all it goes into john favreau And this is when he was a nobody and uh, there's okay, so you remember the stop motion Christmas shows that were on when we were kids. Yeah, there's like frosty the snow man and there was that one Rudolph one where it was all yeah, yes super old so the guys who made those there's there's like two names I can't remember of a room, but they're famous for him and when he when the writers for elf Were looking for a director they went they asked him or he approached them And he says I want it to be in that same style of those and then they that was what sold them That's what sold them to go with this unknown Director and of course elf became a total classic. Yeah, no kidding. Yeah I didn't know that yeah, so he's he's becoming like big time now, especially after star wars Who did you know phenomenal job? Yeah? I don't know anybody better uh these days that are putting out because it's about story and and I think that you know A lot of these directors got away from that and it's you know It was all about the you know the action and the pizzazz and all the like CGI and all it's like no Give us a really good story. Okay. And this is exactly what uh karate the what's it called uh kobra kai kobra kai Yeah, kobra kai. Okay. If you watch it it's not like the best show Obviously, it's whatever it doesn't have the best karate but they did such a good job with the story And such a good job, uh, like you know hitting out to the to the original fans that it's a classic now It's a cool classic and uh, they're coming out with another one aren't they picks ours I could say is has been consistently. That's like their their main like uh core is is about You know the story. Well, that's what you know, that's what uh, oh, I can't you slipped his name Steve jobs. Yes. Thank you. Thank you for that. Uh, that's what Steve Jobs credits The success of apple too was when he created Pixar what he learned as far as telling a story That's in that book a story brand. He talks about that that Much of the success that apple had was after he went he left and he went and did that He took a lot of that formula to his advertising and marketing into apple and that that's what he thinks is responsible for the rise of apple Well, dude marketing marketing so psychological. In fact, I was watching, uh, tv the other day and For some reason we were watching the commercials that go along with it And there was a computer commercial And there wasn't a single mention of the performance the storage the tech It was all about ram and drive. It was all about how cool it looks and the story behind it And jessica and I were laughing and we're like this is so funny because what's really important is What it does but the commercial doesn't say doesn't say a single thing That was a big switch with apple. So apple went from talking all about What the product was capable of doing and all the specs and they went from that And trying to create an avatar of people people that wanted to be different people that didn't want to fit in People that wanted to do walk a different order just really creative wanted to be in a different club And and that is what made that thing explode And if you look at all like their billboards and ads like it's always like that It's never like it does all these features. They don't talk anybody because they would lose actually. Yeah. Yeah Because in fact, it would not succeed Speaking of different, uh, adam this boxing trend that's happening right now. Oh my god, dude Are you guys seeing what's happening? And okay a lot of our influencer friends and stuff that we know Are guilty of it too and it's like Ever since the you know, the the the brothers jaykin Logan paul have did the the whole boxing call out Yeah, like I think everybody who has a somewhat of a falling I now see videos and then like training boxing Stop it. Yes. Yes. So just watch dude Just just watch what we see. I mean Influencer boxing league. Yeah And I don't I don't want to start yet because I don't want the next fans only it Unfortunate part is like we we have friends that are even it's like it's got that It's got that crazy that tons of people that we know that we're connected to Are doing it too now Maybe they just like to because I hear I like boxing for like a another form of you know, unconventional cardio I like I enjoy I really enjoy the core work that I got from it. Yeah, it was fun. So I'm not like anti that or shitting on anybody that loves to do it for those reasons I just think it's interesting that you didn't see any of these influencers doing this before and then now that you know They've made it popular to call out people. So my prediction. Okay to hang in there This is what we're going to see next is you're going to see more and more of these influencers Yeah, micro influencers even you got a hundred thousand followers or at that calling out some dude that has 200,000 Setting up a five even if they're not going to sell it on pay review and be as big as logan paul and jake paul are They at least will do it to get attention to build their following and watch that become like a popular thing Man, you're so well whatever I mean, hey the consumer support it then whatever You know the whole thing about boxing for for training what used to for workouts what used to annoy me about that because i'm a I'm a huge fight fan big like I love boxing. I love I love boxing history I love, you know wrestling wrestling history. I mean real like, you know, greco roman olympic style wrestling Of course the martial arts. I've always been a huge martial art fan and I've always hated The peep that when they do Martial arts or fight sports for workouts and so because what you end up seeing is terrible technique. There's no Focus on the skill or technique. It's like hit the bag and sweat. It's just an eyesore. Yeah, and it's like I've done I've not I haven't done boxing for very long, but I messed with it for a little while and I don't the workout part's great, but that's the side effect I like I wanted to learn the skill of it. Well, there's so much skill involved This is why I think our buddies uh over at boxing burn had did such a brilliant Exactly that was such a brilliant idea because I saw the same thing too. It was like you were You'd it became a trend in the fitness space to teach boxing and it's like you got people who don't know anything Well boxing rabbit punching in the air, right and you know, I I'm just I'm just as guilty of this, right? So I had clients of mine that what they saw it in the gym and that's what oh Will you hold pads? I see I could hold pads mine clients would ask for it all the time Right. See I can hold pads and you know by no means do I have any real good technique in it whatsoever And so we would do it like as a form of cardio And I just think that there was an opportunity for somebody to create a certification for personal trainers around that and boxing burned it Exactly that it's just I know I know and there's just so much skill and technique involved in boxing Um You don't need let me put it this way if you want to work out and just sweat you don't need to box You could do other stuff but boxing itself as a skill for someone like me It's so hard to watch When coaches are teaching it just as a workout and they're not and I whatever of course to each throne So it probably sound like an asshole But to me it's like I value the skill so much because when you really learn boxing and when you really study it You know, I know to the average person they watch people punch each other You have no idea how technical it is like the skill and the technique involved Well, you do when you watch two people who don't know how to box fight each other all of a sudden Oh, it's I mean you ever watch a street fight. It's it's the fucking ugliest thing ever Oh, man, yeah, you could see and it's so sloppy. It's always I think it's always comical when you you know You get these two tough guys that talking big shit. They look all intimidating. Let's go. Let's go And then they start going to the new chest pound and then you watch like and then it becomes it's just luck All right, whoever you hit the next Yeah, yeah, dude catching like wrists across their forehead The biggest wind up you've ever seen a hammer punches. Oh, I wonder where this is coming from Yeah I watched this one video of this Look like a 60 year old man who was getting Just messed with by some some kids some 20-something year old and the people watching were warning the kid They're like, you don't want to mess with him You don't want to mess with him and he kept messing with them and he takes a swing at in the 60 year old And apparently once you see what happens the 60 year old guy used to be a boxer So he just he backs up and beep beep. Well, I showed you guys that I don't think did I talk about on the podcast? I know I talked to you guys about my neighbor who is the x ranger. Oh, I showed you guys that right? He has a son who's like it was he's kind of out there, right? And he he came back and he's and he's he's battling PTSD So they get into it and stuff and he's got it. He caught video of it on his outside camera And you know my my dude's like in his 60s So he's an old older guy and he's not in like great condition or anything like that But I mean he's an he's an x ranger and one of the things he trained is it's throwing hands And so you know his boy's talking shit and you see the whole video of him being like trying to make no calm him down No, no, no And homeboy shoves him and then and then throws a punch at him dad just steps back misses a swing and just one Right in the right in the chin dude just flattens him It's a whole different game It is and if you have that skill like and you and you've you've talked about it before that You know powers like the last thing you lose Maybe you don't have the stamina and to hang in a real fight But if you learn how to throw a punch the technique right, you know communicating it like this My you know connect to people it's like it's like throwing a throwing a baseball like you know You can you can wind up and throw as hard as you want, but someone who knows how to throw a baseball They're just going to be able to throw it farther than you with far more accuracy They don't have to use as much effort either. Yes, you know because they've mastered the technique of it in the precision of You know how to utilize and shuttle your force. Well, here here's where it translates into what we do I mean, that's the same thing. I feel like with big complex movements. Yeah, you take a Squad or a deadlift like you know as I'm getting older those movements are getting easier not because I'm getting that much stronger It's just that I'm getting better at the technique. I've done it Yes, so many hundreds probably thousands of times now That I have figured it out like how to really move move the body and it just takes a long time to do that Just like a well executed Good technique punch is going to be far more effective Than another punch. That's just whatever A well executed excellent technique squat is going to produce far better results for you than Just go into the bar and squat into it's like it's almost like a different exercise That's why when people tell me squats don't work well for me Deadlifts, I don't like them. They don't really do anything for me I'm always like, okay Let me see how they look and what you're doing because when you do them right and you've got good technique and good practice They produce a tremendous results, you know for for for you. So 2021 is going to be the time for sloppy fights That's what it was sounded like. What was that show that was popular for a little while? It was yellow and black the tough guy Yes, yeah, what was it? Was that what it was called? Is that what it was? That's where butter beans That's the one where I saw this guy. No, just get lit up and we're all just like yay That's what butter bean came from remember butter. Oh, yeah, I love butter bean. He actually became pro. Yeah What you would see it would happen is you'd see a bunch of these like, you know We can war your guys that I think they're tough going in there and then every once Well, you see one dude who actually has some skill going there and he would just like Fighting sucks, man. Like you get in a reel. He starts throwing real. It always sounds like a good idea You know, it's just like really. Have you been in one? There's way better ways to boost your social media Yeah, they get to fight so I wanted to bring up so you brought up the stimulus checks We talked the other day about people leaving california. It's the new year right now. So 2021 I want to make some predictions on the economic side. So what do you see? This year happening to like as far as business stocks housing What do you think? What do you think we were in store for for 2021? It all depends You know because of all the money they injected into the economy all the money they printed I think you'll see asset inflation I don't think interest rates are going to go up any time soon. Yeah, you think explain what assets being like houses No, no, no, but I explain why why economists predict that to happen To the after in layman's terms like that's great. We can say that all day long, but it's like, okay What does that mean? Yeah, what does that mean? And then so so because there's just more money available Even though it's not connected to more productivity or more Products or it's just money, right? They just printed money because there's more money and it's looser and easier to access With lower interest rates That means more people are going to be able to buy especially people who didn't get hit so hard by Covid They'll be to be invest and buy more things So you have more money going in and competing for the same number of houses Or stocks and so you get what's called inflation meaning the price of houses the price of You know of stocks will keep going up until you know, they come crashing down because of you know, what they're doing So I still I think that we're going to continue to probably see that. Here's the big if if the vaccine Does its job and you start to see people feel confident businesses feel confident Um things open back up. Then I think you're going to see this huge boom In productivity people are going you know go back to work and things are but that's a big if I so I just read an article that said that that's there's uh, some some of these guys are predicting that we are going to see Like the roaring twenties. Yeah after after everything right so after this all the the shutdown the regulations everything's lifted and Old-timey music again. Well, yeah I don't like that part of it, but I think it's the the spending the parting the like free for all like I think we're Going to see that how it came after the roaring twenties. What's that? Yeah, I'm serious. Yeah. Well, I mean think about it It's and it's winding up to be that too because if you okay, we history repeats it We all agree on the the asset inflation, right? I think stocks and housing I think it's crazy as it may sound but these you know the condo I live in right now is a million dollar condo It's nothing dude. It's a it's a it's literally 1700 square feet three bedroom two and a half bath You know nothing fancy. I'm attached to somebody else keeps going up even though supposedly people are unemployed Right. So, you know, I I don't think it's too far of a fetch to think that that thing will be 1.5 to 2 million dollars in the next five to 10 years And that's just crazy to think that yeah It's crazy and I mean I mean look here's the deal when the stock market is at record highs and yet we supposedly have Unemployment and businesses, you know small businesses going out of business That doesn't match. So there's some funny stuff going on and it's really like well It's not that it's you I think you hit it. We could expand on it a little bit more Is that when you when you when you take that much money? So before this stimulus package Okay, the the 2 trillion that we did before And I shared this on the podcast that that all the money in the circulation in the united states Uh, like it's like a large percentage of it's 20 22 percent of it was created this year That was before this next 900 billion So you're gonna think that 25 plus percent of the money that's in circulation right now Was created out of thin air meaning that it's not attached to any sort of Goods or labor So it's just going into the pockets just printed and what happens 80 of those people that get these 600 or 2000 Whatever we end up landing on checks Believe it or not Some people will use that check of course to feed their families get them get their PG&E bills back up But then there's a big portion of people that will go buy X boxes That will buy more things on amazon that will just pump it right back into the economy That's ran by all the rich capitalists people that have already so you're just gonna make the rich richer Who can go buy a condo for 1.5 2 million dollars and don't really give a shit Well, all the investors see this and they're betting on that So what they're doing is they're investing investing investing knowing that they're going to continue because here's the deal when things inflate The way you protect yourself is by buying things or investing in things that will inflate increase If savings actually is a is in a in a situation where there's lots of inflation Saving your money is not necessarily a smart strategy. I hate to say that But if I have a hundred dollars saved and the value of that money continues to go down because inflation goes up the realities I'm losing money. Even though i'm saving money. I'm losing money And so it's encouraging spending encouraging buying these things tangible assets. Yeah, so it's it's a weird situation I know peter schiff is just Spinning right now. Oh, I told you guys just wait telling you guys the big crash decade Are you still watching bitcoin too? Did I did I see it start to come back down again? Yeah, I think people let me see. I'll go check it. Yeah, it was up for a second I think got up to 23 thousand a coin. Yeah, it was it was rolling for a minute there But I think it's coming back down to earth again, isn't it? No, it's well, it's it's it's still high though, dude It's still high. Did you guys know that apple's still trying to make a car? What do you mean a car? There's still like a long time ago. They showed like I think it was on One of those magazines like, uh, you know the tech magazines that that they were coming out with The apple car and it was like going to be electric and all this stuff and like So autonomous or whatever you call it where it drives itself So I guess they're still pursuing that they're still pursuing a self-driving car and I guess back in I don't remember how many years ago it was but like elan had actually Proposed to tim cook to to buy tesla and this was at like one tenth of their valuation now Wow missed out on that one. So here's here's here's what I'd say the first company to create a fleet of autonomous cars That you can just access through an app That company's gonna explode and change the world. Well, that's what apple's banking. Yeah Yeah, so what's your thoughts? I look at apple uber and tesla is like the leading three Yep, like same here. Who do you think has the best amazon? I would put up there also I would also They haven't said anything that they're gonna do they're always a sleeper The reason why I think those other three because the other three have already been building tech and things in that direction Right uber is has got the the force, right? They've got the connection of the people that would utilize it the app connection That's already that side of it. I got of the ui down. Yeah, I got a I got a dark horse for you So what what company has mapped out more of the earth in google google? Google already So if you have this autonomous car Think about the value of everything that they've already been doing Is as seeing where everything is and having all this true I mean apple tried I mean their maps aren't quite as good as google's, but they've definitely Yeah, they've got it. Yeah, that's gonna be life changing by the way But then you have tesla with the tech and the car and the ability to communicate to start the software It's gonna be life changing. No one's gonna own cars I swear to god because tesla's cars the best but you know the software and all that the back end You know, I would say apple nobody's gonna own cars It'll be cheaper to just call your car pick you up drive off. You don't have insurance You have to pay for gas I read an article where they were figuring it out. It'll cost something like a thousand dollars a year To be able to travel just by calling your car that's way cheaper than owning a car paying for its service and all that stuff It's gonna change everything when you can do that. Think about the design of cities The garages that we have that space is going to be turned into something else Oh, yeah, and work the our entire work Environment has changed already now imagine we have like self-driving when you look at when you look at car payments insurance Washing your cars Gassing your cars all those things for tight. You can't get away with anything under $5,000 a year so like if they can figure that out for a thousand it's game over It's a matter of time It's game and think about the inside of the car designed right now for the driver when it's not that and it's just picking you up It'll be a little lounge. It'll be whatever office whatever you want That's why so this is why I bet on uber because I feel like the the natural progression to there to the autonomous driving car Or what I thought is the first everybody using like uber like yeah with a driver with an actual driver The app they've got right they've already got this like you know break away from you Like what I see happening is uber coming out with a membership That you pay a thousand dollars a year like you're saying or whatever fixed number it is And everybody does the math and goes holy shit I can guarantee an uber car to pick me up everywhere for this I don't have that's crazy Actually now that I think about it because what it'll probably because here's the big the big bottleneck is the regulations Right, so that will be first what'll probably happen is they'll say Autonomous cars are fine. However in the time for the time being there has to be a driver present Well, they're doing that right so uber could do that uber could literally say do you want to be an uber? You know pa whatever, you know supervisor right now. You're not a driver, but you just got to sit in there Exactly just in case something happens. That's why I think it really leads this. Yeah, so, uh, yeah they're already doing this with Semi trucks and and you know and they're they're starting to basically so they have somebody piloting the truck But but they're letting the steering wheel kind of take over and testing their their systems to see how well they perform That's gonna you know Autonomous trucks are going to lower the cost of goods shipping, you know like crazy and shipping like crazy That's gonna be drones, you know from from there, which is all that is and then just deliver more shit. We can buy With our stimulus checks. I need more stuff. That's what's gonna happen, dude It's where you gotta get creative, you know with like like pitching stuff at us, you know, there better be some cool stuff to buy First question is from Anton a lesna What are your guys favorite workout splits? Don't say full body. Well, that wouldn't be a split. Yeah, so well, okay So we're running one right now. So we should share what we're running right now Yeah, so okay, so first and foremost You know and I'll stand by this for most people a full body You know three-day workout is superior. It just works best for most people That being said, there's some benefits to splits Especially for people who are advanced and who are doing a high volume workouts because you know a full body high volume workout Can take can take two hours plus So splitting the body up in that case makes sense One of my favorite splits is the one that we're doing right now What you find in maps split and that is a it's it would be Called a push pull Leg split so essentially it's a six day A week routine and what you do is day one you work the push muscles which would be chest shoulders and triceps The next day would be back biceps And then the next day would be legs and you would probably throw core in there with your legs And then you would repeat that cycle for the next three days So every body part is getting with a one day break in between or at the end one at the end or in between I like to do it at the end So I go through six days and then off and then do it again Right. That's the same thing. So I love I love splits like this And the the biggest knock that I have on splits versus full body Is just the the consistency of being able to train five or six days a week. Yeah, and that's a day That's what exactly that's and that exactly you you miss a day now that throws off next week And you got to start you're starting it on a different on a different day And so something gets less attention than something else So one of your your body parts suffer the body part that tends to suffer on most people is the one They like to train the least. It's just natural. This is human behavior And that's why we always push the full body because here's what's great If you do a two or three day a week full body routine and you miss one day, you're okay You just said you still hit the whole body You still hit the whole body and you still are starting the same place next week without skipping a beat where When you run a split it just takes a little bit more now that being said if you are somebody who is Religious about going to the gym five six seven days a week and you never miss Then splits are great. There's nothing wrong. Oh, yeah It's fun if you just love like hanging out in the gym all the time and I get that too Like it's totally a hangout and it's something people look forward to a lot So it kind of fits within that culture of it But yeah, it's funny doing this is such a shell shock on my body because it's just something I don't typically do and and it's definitely like for me It's good to to venture outside of my comfort zones and do something like this with my body will respond Uh, you know great as a result of it. Yeah, now here's what studies will show And this uh kind of supports even my experience training people That the total volume for the week that you want to do per body part for most people Is anywhere between 10 to 20 total sets So 10 to 20 total sets seems to be where most people respond the best obviously 20 being more for people who are really advanced Nutrition is good sleep is good good recovery ability 10 more for You know beginners and all that stuff as far as frequency of training the body parts. Here's what's interesting Studies show that the ideal frequency that you should train a body part regardless of the total volume So in other words, even if you control total volume The body parts respond best to two to three times a week One time a week you're going to gain less strength less muscle less results than if you train a body part twice a week So what that means is if you're training Your chest on monday for 20 sets you're better off training chest twice a week 10 sets each time That two to three times a week seems to produce them and in my my experience This is totally true if if when clients were hitting the whole body However, we broke up the split two to three days a week We got way better results even if the volume was totally same same thing for me What I do like also about splits is it's a little bit easier to manage the Soreness and overreaching part because like so we trained today was our our leg day And it's been four days since I've trained legs. And so I've got Good enough rest where when we do a like a math center ball routine If you over reached on monday, you're right back there on wednesday again So you don't get as much recovery time So I felt great today lifting where had I had to lift legs again two days ago Well, then I would have had to modify my intensity more and lower it because we're i'm hitting it at more frequently So I do like that with the split is it gives me a little bit more recovery time before I go up to Which also allows me to kind of get after a little bit more So if you if you like that if you like kind of getting after it you tend to Lean that way more where you do more in your workout than you probably should have Splits tend to work out really well for that that doesn't it doesn't bode well for a full body routine two or three times a week Yeah, you need to consider the context of everything and be honest with yourself and again for most people just long term Full body just works and persists to the best results the best consistency the best strength fat loss Most maps programs have some variation of a full body type approach But we do have uh, you know programs where it's more of that bodybuilder split like map split But again, you're you're you're working out six days a week. There is no almost one day off. That's it And I really think almost everybody I don't care who you are even if you like splits if you're getting back into the Swing of things like you've taken a break because of the holidays Even if it's only been two weeks like if you've done two weeks or more of a break That everybody is is better off starting with that kind of full body first And the reason why it's okay for us to move into the split where we are now Is that's how I was training by myself before you guys and we got together I was training one to two days a week full body And that's what was maintaining me kind of where I was at now when we all got together and started working out I can transition into that and be okay If I would have jumped like I had let's say I hadn't worked out in a month or two Jumping into the split routine you guys are you guys would and you still got me like I got I'm probably the source that are the three of us because I've been training at the probably the least amount of volume And just these workouts alone where we've had you know two or three exercises for a muscle group I mean that's so much more that I've done in a workout in a long time that I'm really sore right next question is from Carlos v us What do you do on a rest day when you want to go to the gym? Yeah, yeah, you know rest. I used to do with myself I used to think rest meant nothing like do nothing like who knew I got to sit on the couch And let my muscles build or whatever right the reality is that's actually the slowing down recovery and slowing down progress No joke You're better off moving to recover than you are doing nothing The only time it's a good idea to do nothing is when you're really messed up like you're So sore that you're inflamed borderline Rabdo, uh, you know issues then do nothing Otherwise a rest day the best thing you could do on a rest day Is to move so if I went to the gym if I really want to work out If I want to lift weights on my rest day, here's what I would do I'd go to the gym and get a real light pump on things. Yeah, that's all just go to the gym Take some rubber bands, you know, I love those for that reason and and just go through mobility flows Um, you know, there's a lot you can do and and again activity It helps to to foster, you know a faster recovery anyways And so you get benefit from that and it's good It's good to train yourself too that you can go to the gym and you don't have to smash it every single time There's a lot you can do And there's a lot of body Parts that you can cover even on those off days I like talking about this topic because I was so off when I was younger When I was younger younger I had this idea that if I was still sore that it would be a waste of time going in and lifting that muscle group Because my my thought was Okay, I tore and broke down muscle if my body's it's sore So then I know it's still recovering and hasn't fully recovered If I go back in the gym and I just train it again that I'm just going to do more damage And I'm not going to get the full benefits of the recovery And so my thought was always like oh, I won't train that muscle group again until I feel it's been fully recovered And the the the truth is that's not ideal In fact going and lifting that same exact muscle that's sore But just a much lower intensity will not only speed up recovery But I'll build more muscle that way and so now I have just a total different philosophy around that So if I come into a training session and I'm really sore in an area that I was planning on working I'm still working it. I just modify intensity So I just I mean if you can squat 200 300 400 pounds, there's nothing wrong with squatting 135 for the day There's nothing wrong with slowing down the tempo going really deep and just getting a nice pump I mean, honestly our our leg workout Sal and I's today looked more like that because I still was recovering from the last one I wasn't fully so I was like, I don't need to go hammer it really hard But I do want to get a nice pump and get a workout. So, you know, I'm doing goblet squats holding a 70 pound That's nothing if I can squat 300 plus pounds, you know Doing goblet squats with 70 pounds holding is is there holding that or walking lunges? What do we do with locking lunges like 67 pounds nothing like not it's not Was it really really stringy? But I know it'll be good. I feel already the pump from it I know that all my body will respond to it I know that I'll recover even faster because of it But I didn't have to go in there and hammer it In fact, sometimes I purposely do that when a muscle group is too sore sometimes when it's really really sore I'll I'll go I'll grab some bands do some light movement and it and it just recovers faster Facilitates recover back up and I feel much better. The next question is from the murphy motive How do you know if you're too sick to work out? What symptoms and how severe must they be to know that you shouldn't work out? Good rule of thumb is obviously if you have a fever don't work out any time you run a temperature Don't do any exercise exercise temporarily Depresses or suppresses the immune system and you can actually kick an illness into high gear I've done this many times myself where I'm definitely sick and then I go in the gym stubbornly take some caffeine push through a workout and I got way sicker the day after Here's the other rule of thumb that I say if you're feeling kind of not good You don't have a temperature Do things in the gym or at home that are making you feel better So that might look like a walk outside. Yeah stretching sauna Yeah, I I'm so I don't do that anymore like if I at all feel even under the weather. I'm not training You just learned your lesson so much. Yeah, exactly because there's been many times where I'm like, am I getting sick? I don't feel great, but I think I'm fine. I'm gonna go training because I'm I'm in a rhythm Right. I'm in a rhythm with my training. I don't want to miss it You know and so I go and I would say more often than not I go in I train and then I get really sick afterwards were symptoms as a result of training and and the way I look at it is You know, if if I I don't get sick that often So it's very rare and if that happens in the middle of me being consistent and I'm feeling under the weather Honestly, what I do now and sell you're the one that's that got me using the it's elderberry I know I always mess with it. Yeah the elderberry the zinc and the and the vitamin C Like I start to and hitting the green juice with organa. I start pounding that drinking tons of water I stay home for a couple days and what I have found trying to do things like that I end up either getting a very mild cold if if one at all or end up beating it two or three days I'm back to training hard again. It almost seems these days even now, you know Like how conscious you have to be about like any kind of symptoms or anything just stay home, you know Like let's keep these gyms open if we can but uh, yeah, it's just You got you got to go through it to really realize it you're not getting a whole lot of benefit by just pushing through It just doesn't it doesn't take you, uh, you know through whatever plateau you think you're gonna have Well, one to two You just have to look at the risk versus reward one to two workouts being missed is not gonna lose a bunch of gains You're nowhere. Are you gonna make a bunch of gains from one or two workouts? But what could really set you back is getting so sick you feel miserable You don't want to walk in the gym for a week and your diet's off and everything that could set you back I can't tell you how many times I've done that and me too Where I'll like I'd get no rest because maybe I'm on a trip or something And I get home and I'm exhausted, but I'm supposed to work out. I'm like, I feel like I'm kind of getting sick And I haven't got gotten good sleep. You know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna, you know, take a pre-workout and go hit the gym anyone And then the next day I'm like done. I'm fucked and I'm sick for a week I hear people tell me all the time they would go in the steam room or sauna to try and sweat it out Yeah, well sauna's got some benefit potentially now problem is if you have a bad fever and you go in the sauna That's definitely But the sauna itself steamy kind of it kind of uh, it's almost like Give your body a fake artificial fever. Yeah, and it can actually boost your immune system But you have to use it pretty intelligently if you're super sick, don't go in there It makes you so pass out next question is from iron. Mikey 19 What did 2020 teach you? Oh god I'll tell you the biggest thing I learned was that for sure Lizard people are running the world Every conspiracy I've ever heard there were in a video game. Yeah, like this. Yeah, I you know, I kind of thought it but now I know for sure like this is There's a bunch of weird shit going on in 2020 maybe despise politics even more than I already did Yes, you thought you couldn't hate it more. I thought I hated it. Yeah, I thought I already hated on it on enough But uh, yeah after 2020 I hate it even more. I couldn't believe people could get so tribal again Like it was just so fascinating to watch You know how easily people just are manipulated. Yeah, it's crazy for me. I mean, okay, now all joking aside Um, and this is a lesson that anytime something's challenging. I think is there for you. It doesn't mean you're gonna learn it Um, and that's acceptance Acceptance is just constant, right? You accept every single moment and 2020 I had to You know, I I'm I'm a bit of a hypochondriac, right? And so what was what were we dealing with a pandemic and so initially I was very anxious about it. And so I had to accept That and then I had to accept That I'm not going to be able to travel and do certain things and had to accept that I couldn't see family members as much as I wanted to And just over and over again I had to accept kind of things as they were But it is a valuable lesson because life, you know, and this is me being like, you know Super wise about it, but the reality is I struggle with it But the wise part of me is like, look, you know life is about accepting what you can't control anything can happen And I and I think that was very very much displayed You know 2020 was just Nobody saw it coming, you know, but guess what? That's life, you know, you got to just always know there's uncontrollables That could happen at any moment and you know, we were we were definitely living in really like You go back and appreciate like where you were leading into that year Yeah, I you know what I really took away was I The I value human connection on another level than I probably ever did like, you know I miss our staff being in here like on a on a daily basis I didn't you know, we have this virtual business now And it made me realize how much I don't want that like I don't want a business that's ran where You know, all the people that work for it can zoom in and Skype and stuff like that It's not the same. I mean half of what makes this this business fun and enjoyable is actually Creating jobs for all these people seeing them work every single day in a fitness business That's fun And I like to think that we're fun bosses to work with and for and so Yeah, I really I really miss and plus it's really hard to build a culture and motivate people You know, this is business has slowed down the last like three to four months And you know, it's normally when you get your people in here You can kind of rally the troops and get them fired up and motivated to like really take it up to take it up a notch It's really hard to do over a zoom call to to make that type of same connection that you make That I would make when I would walk with a staff staff member Outside for 10 minutes and talk about their family and what's going on with them Like it's just not the same doing that over a telephone or a zoom call So I really value that and that's on the work Side and then also I value that more now than ever with the family side Like so It definitely kicked up my communication with all my siblings and family So I'm talking more to them than I ever have because I miss them I miss being able to get together and it be okay that all of us You know congregate in the same house and and hang out and be together So I find myself valuing that more and so when we kind of get out of this I think that I'll all make an effort as like one of the leaders in the family to try and get us together more often Because you never know when it could disappear and we can't so It taught me that it also taught me to like luckily I've kind of gone and I've shared this on the podcast like my you know My story with finances like my insecurities of it early in my life and then working so hard to get to a certain point and and then Trying to uh, you know or spending all my money to Look the part of being very successful to kind of coming full circle where you know now I'm almost like a miser, right? So I feel like uh this you never know when something like this is going to happen and part of why This time didn't really stress me out as much as I've had some friends and people connected to me Uh was because I was prepared for it. You know financially. I was financially. I Uh have been better with my money in the last, you know, five to eight years than I ever have And honestly where we were like looking at like looking at the worst case scenario could happen. Oh my god Nobody buys any mind pump programs anymore. Listener stop listening. Will I be okay? And the reality was like, yeah, it would be totally fine. We'll be all right. It would suck But uh, I wouldn't wouldn't be wondering how we're going to pay our bills or keep things going so You know just taught me the value of that of making sure that you know, you're not Living this paycheck to paycheck and you're thinking that you know Even if it's a great ride right now and money's coming in and you're doing well that can all end And it's in a single snap of the fingers and so to be thinking that with forward thinking always and that Thinking that this could end. I think that a lot of people were woken up with that that are especially your Entrepreneurs out there that were operating businesses That did not have enough income to go and that, you know, it's a hard thing to say To somebody who is really struggling to keep their lights on right now But that is one of the things, uh, you know, a lot of the economists were saying was just like man You know as a country we've been we've been taught to that you know debt is totally okay and and living paycheck to paycheck and on credit cards and You know, it's it's fine. We're just a different it's different today than it was in our parents at parents time, you know, like I remember hearing that uh, Dave Ramsey conversation about his his lesson from his dad who would you know, he would They would be hammering or pulling apart nails from a deck and his dad would be saving the the nails, you know Because he doesn't know if you'll because he came from the great depression time of when he couldn't even afford to buy a Nail and so just having that mentality where you would just throw that away today, right? So, you know trying to trying to reframe things like that just because things are good financially for the time Is to not get out of control with your spending and thinking that it'll never end in fact Having a mindset that this could end tomorrow and if it were to what should I be doing with my finances very good Look mind pumpers recorded on video as well as audio come find us on youtube mind pump podcast You can also find all of us on instagram You can find justin at mind pump justin you can find me at mind pump sal adam at mind pump adam and dug at mind pump dug They did studies on people with seasonal effective disorder and they found that when they supplemented with vitamin d The a significant percentage of them saw a dramatic reduction In their seasonal depression one study said as much as 40 percent Of americans are become deficient in vitamin d during the winter this may
