This one blew me away. I'm so proud of you. I wasn't ready for this. Teach me all about the differences between the warriors. I even got nervous, palmy. I was all sweating in my palms. Yeah, it was like someone throwing a pitch at me. It was a super curveball. Yeah, I was like, this is a topic I love to talk about right here. And you were not telling me you were going to bring that up. Who's going to win the championships? The organized team playing of the warriors. Or the pass it to one person game of the Cavaliers. That actually sounds like an old-timey. Yeah, that's right. You can over to you, Bob. Yeah, you need like a... I got a Masters and BS. Yeah, color commentator guy. We talk about CBD scams. They're everywhere. Why you should not use cannabis or the types of people that shouldn't use cannabis. We talk about cannabis fasting. And then we talk about Bill Cosby's deal with the devil. We think he might have signed a deal with the devil. I'm pretty sure. We mentioned Italy and the new Euro crisis and the sharing economy. Then we get into the questions. The first question was, what is another way to build endurance other than cardio? You want to build stamina and endurance, but you hate doing cardio. In other words, you're normal. How else would you build endurance? The next question is, what do we recommend for helping with tennis elbow? This is an ailment where you have pain at the tops of your, or the ends of your elbow at the tops of your forearms. What recommendations do we have? Easy for me to say. That can help with that particular problem. And the next question, this is a person who has a hard time with empathy. And many times they feel like somebody's just being a victim and isn't helping themselves. Are they being an asshole? Or is there something they should improve upon? We give our expert advice on that part of the question. And finally, How do we reign in our egos, our awesome sexy egos? How do we do that? We talk about that in this portion of the episode.

Do you know that the price of diamonds is tightly controlled by the diamond miners? They were only released so much, so the value stays too high. Those motherfuckers. And let's be honest. I wish when we would start a trend, so it would go a different direction. Like granite. You know what I'm saying? Granite. Yeah, like a granite ring. I think granite... I think granite is beautiful. Yeah, granite. I think it's gorgeous. It could have been that. I like... Very accessible. I like cubic zirconium. You know what I mean? It looks sparkly. Yeah, what's the difference? Can you tell the difference, Justin? Most people can't tell the difference. I can't tell the difference. No. I can't. But you know what it is, then she'll be like, oh, you can't. You had to get the cheap one or whatever. You just get her a big ass one. Yeah, I think it should be... You know what it is? It's just a huge, gaudy one. You know what it is? You have to prove it's... You're proving... It's gonna cut your face. You're proving how much you love her. Back in the day, you used to kill the lion. That's what it is. Kill the lion and bring the lion. It has to be a sacrifice. I honestly think that women's rings are more of a dick-measuring thing with guys. That's true. You know what I'm gonna do? That's a good point, Adam. I do think that's... I'm just gonna put back in the day it was just a huge animal. I just slaughtered it. Just give a cast at the dick, like you said. Remember how you said you were gonna do that? Oh, I just give a cast at your dick. You said that a while ago. That's what you're buying into. Yeah. You don't get a ring. You get this golden wand. This diamond dick right here. Yeah. A diamond. That sounds like a terrible superhero. Which one of you two was it that told me? I've been down and out since what? Friday night? Thursday night? Yeah, dude. You gotta tell everybody how sick you got. Bro, it's just been a crazy... Yeah, like Ebola. I don't know what... Crazy. Well, at first, I thought it was food poisoning because the way it hit me, right? I went to bed. I got up at 11. I was hungry. And I poured like a little mug full of granola and a little bit of almond milk. It's not a big thing. Just a little bit. And it crushed it real quick and then fell right to sleep. And then I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning just ready to throw up. And then I just started at about 4.35 in the morning and then went nonstop all... Hard on both ends. Yeah, it was just awful. Running the bathroom, not knowing which shift I should sit down or drop to my knees, right? Oh, it's terrible. Yeah, it was like that. So it's like a double headed dragon. But what doesn't make sense to me is almond milk and granola. I don't think that's... It's so unlikely to get food poisoning from a processed food. Right. You know what I mean? Especially somebody's shit in the spinach. You know what I mean? What? What? What the fuck did that come from? Every time it's spinach because everybody gets food poisoning at these restaurants. What articles are you reading? It's always like... What articles are you reading? I'm teasing him right now. What they'll do is they'll find like fecal matter in, you know, from fertilizer. And many times that contains... Somebody's shit in the spinach. I just wanted you to feel stupid when I said that. That's true. I appreciate that. That's true? Yes, dude. I've never even heard of that. Yeah. Did you eat booty? Whoa, dude. Whoa. That took a turn. Is that what you got to say? No, no, no. It's just the granola. It's been a while. He's ate some booty. So here's what's really weird. So that happens. I swear I have food poisoning, yada, yada, yada, right? So I'm on the same time and I don't put this all together until literally yesterday. So I'd been coming home since we got back from our tour almost every night this last week and the dogs or one of the dogs have been like all these little throw-up spots in the house, which I have bulldogs. So it's not that weird. They fucking chew on everything. They eat everything. So, you know, they normally throw their food up every once in a while. And it was a little more than normal. And I remember asking Katrina, is it Mazzie or is it Bentley? She's like, I don't know. They both seem okay. I haven't seen anyone throw their food up. And so we didn't think nothing of it. Well, the same day that I get like just violently sick, Mazzie wakes up that morning, right? And I'm upstairs and I'm laying in bed. I feel fucking terrible. Like if you move me, I'm ready to shit myself or throw up. And Katrina's downstairs and she starts screaming at the top of her lungs. I've never even heard her scream like this before. So I fucking shoot out of bed, running downstairs and come down. And just as I get downstairs, she's standing over Mazzie and Mazzie kind of comes to and pops up. And I'm like, what the fuck happened? And she's like, I don't know. And she's like freaking out, scared to death. And she's like, he was started choking and she goes, he just passed out and his eyes rolled back his heads, his legs collapsed and he rolled over and he just come to. And that morning I heard him kind of like gagging and choking in the morning. And I thought that was really weird. And I thought, well, maybe he's just got something lodged in his throat that he ate. He's still drinking his water and stuff. So I'm telling Katrina like, he's fine. We don't need to take him to the ER or anything like that. Dogs eat shit all the time. He'll be okay. And I could tell that he was uncomfortable. He couldn't lay down. Then he started like breathing and wheezing weird. And then he did it to me while she was gone because I was home sick. He goes to throw up and he was choking to throw up so much. And what it was was he couldn't get anything out. It was like he had already thrown everything up that he had and so he was kind of choking on his own bile and he just a little bit comes out. Just filled with fluid? Yeah. Just a little bit, right? And then he passed out again on me and I kind of like put sort of pressing on him like CPR and he revived and came back and I thought, that's really weird. And so I tell her, I said, you know, Mazzy's not doing really well. And she's like, I want to take him to the ER when we get back. And I said, okay, well, I don't feel good. I'll go with you. But I'll just sit in the car. So we get there like eight or nine o'clock at night and we're there all the way till midnight, you know? And she's, and I'm waiting in the car and I'm texting her back and forth. What the fuck's going on in there? And I didn't want to go because I told her, I said, listen, if he's got something lodged in his throat or in his stomach, you can't get it out. Like he'll eventually pass it. He's breathing. He's drinking. Like there's nothing they're going to do. They're going to do an x-ray on him and say, oh yeah, it looks like he has a piece of wood or something in his stomach and yeah, either he's going to pass it or if it's so bad, they're going to say, let's do surgery. And I said, no matter what, they're going to charge us 700 bucks for the goddamn x-rays and whatever laxatives they give him. So I'm really anti-going. So she's going to text him back and forth. I need you to come in here. And so I get out and I'm already kind of irritated because my girl's a softy and I'm like, they're just going to try and run this fucking bill up on a site crazy. You've already been through this process before with your cat, right? Same ER, same everything, right? This is what's crazy. So I walk in this, what they call a grieving room there and the doctor comes in and pulls up an x-ray of a dog's lung because this is a healthy dog's lung and he pulls up mine and you can't see anything. It's completely flooded with fluid. Same fucking thing happened to my cat after one year of having this cat and basically drowned the cat drowned to death. And so she's telling me and I'm like, well, what is it? And they're like, well, we're unsure right now. We're giving him oxygen. We're doing all these things for him. We got him a sedative. We can't figure it out yet until we have a chance to get in there and hopefully drain some of this fluid. And she goes, I highly recommend that we keep him overnight. And I'm like, well, what are you guys going to do for him that I can't? And she's like, well, he's having a hard time breathing. Well, so they go out and I'm telling her, I'm like, now fuck this. They just want him to spend the night because when the dog spends the night it's an automatic $2,000 bill. So I'm like, I'd rather take him home. So I tell her that. I said, and she goes, well, I think he's going to die. And I was like, what? And well, you really think she's like, yeah, no, he's not good at all. She goes, and I go, okay, well, if we keep him here, are you going to be able to save him? And she goes, it's about a 50-50 chance. And then Katrina just starts fucking balling. I'm fucking about to lose it. I'm like, oh my God, dude, my boy's only four years old. Are we going to lose him right now? So I mean, we leave him overnight. I don't fucking sleep all night that night. So I think they got two back-to-back days of puking my brains out. I just start to feel a little better. Then I get the dog thing happening to me. And then yesterday, right? So that all went down this whole last weekend. But then I sent you an article. But he's okay now. Well, yeah. They said that his lungs were recovering. Yeah, they drained everything. We got him back home. But he's really out of it. It's really sad to see him right now, because you can just tell that he's completely... Did they identify? Tell he was ready to die. Did they identify why his lungs? They don't know why. Now, with Bulldog, which she thinks, like the diagnosis that I read that she gave is that they think that he'd chewed on something because he did spit up some carpet and plastic and shit like that the first day. That he choked on that. And while doing that, him choking and throwing up caused fluid to flood into his lungs. And because Bulldogs don't have a really good airway as it is, he had a really tough time excreting all the fluid out, if that makes sense. Right, right. Because it could be pneumonia from an infection. It could be... Right. They don't think that's... In the diagnosis, they did rule out... They didn't rule it out completely, which is... It's highly unlikely that it was pneumonia based off of how he cleared up and everything like that. Okay. But they still have them on antibiotics anyways. Now, that sent me down the rabbit hole of, like, googling and reading last night, which is why I sent you some stuff. Now, what I found is really crazy is that... Yeah, dude, blew me away the article you sent me. Yeah, that... The Norton virus... Noro. Noro, sorry. Noro virus. Noro? N-O-R-O, yeah. Norovirus can be passed between humans and dogs. I had no idea because I know most viruses and whatever are species-specific or whatever. Rarely can you pass them, but typically they have to mutate. They have to mutate first and then go... But the Norovirus, according to this article, can get passed from animal... From dog to human. Yeah. Or the other way around. And so what made me start tripping out on this was, okay, I'd forgotten all about the throwing up before because the dogs seem normal. Now, Mazzy is my dog... He's my lover. So he's the one that, like, I stick my fingers in his mouth and he's kissing me all the time. And I'm always, like, all up... I also cleaned up all of his vomit and shit for the last week that he'd been throwing up, obviously. So I just kind of started scratching my head. Like, that's really weird that we both got... And it was, like, put him on his deathbed. I felt like that was on my deathbed. It was that brutally bad. And I kept scratching my head that the food poisoning just wasn't adding up. It was like, I was 100% sure there's no way someone could... Because granola's the only thing you had that no one else had. Yeah, granola and almond milk. Highly unlikely. Right. Yeah. I mean, it's possible, but unlikely. Right. Very unlikely with that. And I thought that was so straight. And I've had food poisoning multiple times and it hits you quick, right? So it has to be something... The last thing you ate. It's not, oh, something I ate earlier in the day or yesterday or the day before. It has to have happened, like, within hours of... Typically. Yeah, of you feeling that way. Typically. Well, the norovirus is no joke. You know, that's the virus that'll get a cruise ship shut down. Yeah. Like, people will get sick on a cruise ship and it spreads so fast. It's extremely contagious and it's hard to get rid of. Like, you have to use bleach. You can't just clean the surface. It'll stay there. You have to bleach things. And so on... And these are... You can look these up. Cruises will, you know, someone on the staff or somebody who's on the cruise will get sick. It'll start spreading and they shut that shit down right away. They're going to port, get everybody off because otherwise on an enclosed, you know, boat like that, it'll just spread like... Is it all... Really? I mean, it's not airborne. It's just like... Everything. It can be airborne through droplets of, you know, like if I sneeze or cough. Oh, shit. But it's typically on surfaces and it just stays there. It's like... It's just... It's super hardy. Yeah. And so it's super easy to spread. And I don't know if your dog has this, like, unique bond now. Yeah, right? I don't even know if it was necessarily that, but it was enough to make me go like, okay, there's a possibility that the dog can pass a virus from him to me. So that made me go like, okay, that now seems more plausible than... Did he eat any granola? No, he didn't. He didn't have any granola. Did you have any dog food? We're going to rule out the granola. I might've had some dog food, though. When you're warming it up, you've got to taste it and make sure it's still... I had a milk bone one. I did. It was like 11.30 at night. I was a hell of a tire when I walked out and said, I might've grabbed the wrong fucking bag of food. You thought it was granola. Like this organic granola. Like this organic granola. Really stoned. Man, this... Now I know why I like artificial sweeteners. This granola tastes bland. You ate a milk bone one? I did. I ate a milk bone one. Why? I have no idea. I think it was a dare out of my next-door neighbor was like handed it to me. It was like, have you ever eaten one of these? I was like, no. And I just started eating it and realized it was a dog bone. Well, I was at Petsmart just the other day and I saw they, you know, they had like on display all these different like healthy dog bones and so I was reading the ingredients and... Yeah. It's all shit that we eat. I was agreeing the whole ingredients. I was like, there's nothing in there that I don't consume. I'm like, so it's... Well, I think I've eaten... Everybody's eating dog food. I haven't. You never had the worst quality, though. You know what I'm saying? I've also never tasted my semen. Those are two things that everyone thinks that you... Whoa, that's two categories. Totally different. It's a matter of... Everybody seems to think that's a number of... You don't really know yourself. Yeah, see? That's what I'm saying. Hold on a second. Those two things I've never done. Let's clear things up for a second. Dude, women taste their own breast milk. It's true. Breast milk's not semen, though. It's different. It's a different thing. I don't know. Here's... I feel like by the time you produce semen, you're like, I don't want to do that anymore. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Well, there's nothing that makes you go, I want to try my dog's food, either. Well, you never did when you were a kid? It's true. No. When you were a kid, you never picked up a dry piece of dog food. Not that I know of. I'll have to ask my mom that one. I'll call her and ask her that one. I did. I don't remember that. I ate dog food a couple of times. Don't tell me it was the wet food. It's terrible. No. Oh, okay. I saw somebody do that. That's terrible. I know people that have. I've seen people bite into a milk bone before, but I... Oh, yeah, it's fine. It's like a dry graham cracker. No, I was worried, man. I saw how crept out you were yesterday, dude. You know what sucks is I was really empathizing with you. I don't have any pets, but then I started thinking about my kids. I was like, oh, my God, what if one of my kids... I feel like it rubbed off on me. Those are my kids, for sure. I know they are. I know they are. Well, not a lot of people know. When we had that Paul Check interview, the first time he came to our place, that was when my dog got hit by a car. A lot of people don't know that. Yeah. I had to muster it out and figure out how to carry on. That was rough, man. Would you do just shut it off or separate it? Yeah, I just was like, I'm going to mourn this and deal with this when I get home. I'm just going to be here while I'm here, but yeah, that was rough, dude. That's a tough situation. That was a rough day. I haven't even apologized to Lane. I meant to do that because I just bounced yesterday. I didn't even... We told him what was going on. Oh, you did? Okay, cool. I appreciate that because I felt so bad. She freaked me out because we just picked him up from the hospital and so she had drove here while we were with Lane. She was in the parking lot. She was like, do you want to come out and kiss him and see him real quick? And I didn't respond because we were in here and then she had sent like two more. Oh, no, he threw up again. That was the last one. That was the last one. Am I calling her? Oh, shit. Yeah, no answer. I call our mom. I call everybody and I'm getting no answer freaking out and I just get in the car, bail, head over that way and then finally on the way over there, she picked up and was like, oh, it's with the boys. No, we told Lane. He understood. That was cool. It was cool meeting with him again. You know, it's funny, we're so different in so many different ways and understandings. However, however, and that episode will air after this one, I'm sure. Yeah, we'll talk about that. So I don't want to give too many spoiler alerts but he was saying a lot of things that sounded very... Woo-woo. Mind-pumpish. Yeah. Yeah, dude. He certainly did. I was like, Woo-woo. Woo-woo. It doesn't sound like you, Lane. This guy. No, you know what I like about Lane? And this is why we meet with the guy and hang out with him when we have the opportunity. Whether we disagree or not, he's a good guy. That's the bottom line. He's not a bad person. You know what I mean? He gets a bad rap. He's just, he's very polarizing. Yeah. But so is Paul Chet. He cares a lot, like he said on the episode. I mean, he just, he's one of those guys that's very passionate and so if you're not on his side, it's gonna be abrasive. I still think, too, that there's, he's had success being like the antagonist. It's hard to let go of that. Yeah. Of course. And so I think there's a part of him that still kind of feeds into that because it's gotten him. He always wants to fight a battle. Right. Yeah. He likes being the underdog and doing that. So, and I think, I feel like every time we've met and we've hung out with him that he's got, he's made steps in that direction of realizing that I don't think he needs to be that person. He's growing out of it. Yeah. He's dating his girlfriend. I think that's part of why he's kind of moving out of that. You can see, you can see that. Some influence. They have a really nice relationship. I talked with her a little bit and you can see them together and you can see that they've got a good relationship and that typically has a positive influence on a man. You weren't convinced that she's dating him to get to us? Yeah. I made it. No. You could make a case for it. Yeah, no. I feel like, you can see that they've got a really good relationship. I like seeing that. No, no, no. She's good for him. Anyway, did you see what I was eating this morning? Yeah, the oatmeal. Boom. Since when did you start eating what Mr. Well, no, two things. So, you know, we had Rusio on. You go back to your old bodybuilder ways? No, no, no, no. So, you know, we had that episode of Rusio and I love Rusio. Oh, the histamine stuff. I love Rusio because he's brilliant, knows a shit ton of knowledge, but then he's also got a lot of experience working with people. So, sometimes when you talk to a researcher, everything is very clinical data shows. Clinical. And then you as a trainer, you're like, actually in real life, I've seen it work out a little differently. Well, because he has so much experience working with people, he knows the applications. And so, we're talking and in the episode, he talked about histamine intolerance. Now, histamine is something your body can build up and it gets rid of. Your body gets rid of it, but you can genetics determine how quickly you get rid of it and also if you have gut health issues or dysbiosis or your gut microbiome is off or if you have SIBO, there's a lot of causes where your body doesn't get rid of histamine very quickly. And so, you overload your body with histamine and you get an immune reaction. And that immune reaction can show up as classical immune reactions like allergies or, you know, hives. Or even just being like fatigued too, right? Fatigued, brain fog, anxiety, irritability. It can be caffeine intolerance. So, I have a few of these and even though the fasting has made tremendous improvements, I noticed that towards the end of the month after it's been three or four weeks since my last fast, I start to feel like I'm getting worse. Then I do the fast again and I feel good. And I keep thinking to myself like that, something's not right. You know, I mean, it shouldn't be that way after I shouldn't have to do this all the time to feel normal and I shouldn't feel like I'm getting worse leading up to a fast. Like something's not right. So, as we were talking, you know, he talked about a potential histamine intolerance and he lists the symptoms and oh, he listed off every single food I've seen you eat. Yeah, I know, right? His go-to five, right? Yeah. I was like, oh no. Well, here's the thing, like I definitely can feel like fog, brain fog. I can definitely get like irritability and anxiety, but then I get hives. That's a big one. If I take a really hot shower, I'll get hives every once in a while. And I did notice that if I take a claritin or a histamine receptor blocker that I started noticing my gut would feel better. And I started and I put two and two together said, okay, it's a mean reaction histamine thing together. And then he lists the foods. If you eat keto or paleo, the odds are you might eat, you may be eating foods that are very high in histamine like avocado, processed meats like bacon, sausage, beef jerky, canned fish like sardines, which I eat a lot of. And these are cashews too. Nuts. Yeah, I eat cashews all the time. It's like the whole keto like layout. Yeah. So it's like, do you know what's interesting about that is I have not heard anyone talk about that yet. Yeah. Nobody has mentioned that. It's actually more common than you think because as I did research after we had that conversation, I'm seeing lots of people may have potential issues. It causes estrogen in tall. It can cause estrogen like intolerance symptoms in women. So if a woman has symptoms of like having too much estrogen, you know, things like cysts on her ovaries or really strong emotional fluctuations or bad PMS, that kind of stuff could be too much estrogen or it could be too much histamine, which your body then can cause estrogen. Kind of like my body became hypersensitive to caffeine because I had a very bad caffeine or poor caffeine tolerance. So, Rusio's suggestion eliminate foods that are high in histamine, give it a few days and see what happens. Remarkable difference. My caffeine tolerance is through the roof and I don't get hives anymore, which is pretty cool. So now I find I can eat foods like oatmeal and rice and other foods that typically if I threw them in more than once every while, I would get gut issues and now it's not a problem and I did create a new Organifi recipe with the oatmeal. If you put a scoop of, you put a scoop of that, of the protein in the oatmeal and then put some butter in there to give it a little bit of that little fat. Mix that thing up. What flavor protein are you using? Chocolate. Oh, the chocolate? Yeah, the chocolate Organifi. That shit's fucking good, dude. Really? Yes. Put a scoop in there. Put butter to melt it first. It's like a staple breakfast for me and they're protein shaker. They put oatmeal in it. It mixes up really good. It does work. You know my old partner, Tony, right? Yeah. So I was a client of mine. She was a client of mine and she in it. She's still today. It's out at, I think she's in Nob Hill. She's in some of the nutrition, nutrition shops. It's called Tony's oatmeal. It's really Adam's oatmeal. I taught her and it's all it all it is is like, you know granola, walnuts, whey protein. And of course she has a proprietary blend in there. But I think I don't remember what it is. It's a mix of cinnamon and some bullshit spice or whatever like that. But it was the it was the oatmeal that I used to have her eat. I used to make all my clients do it. I used to do it all time. Really? Yeah. It was a great way for my female clients to bump up their protein because they weren't getting enough protein. Throw it in your oatmeal. Yeah. Throw it in your oatmeal in the morning and it actually tastes pretty good. It's really good. I always trip out my protein with me. So I bought another plant protein from Whole Foods. The old one that I used to take. Remember the one that I used to take? The raw, I think it was called or whatever. And I mixed that in and you know the Organifi protein tastes way better than all the other plant protein. Vegan, yeah. Like now that I haven't had the other ones for a while. It doesn't to me it does not it doesn't compete with whey. Whey is always going to taste way better. But if you're somebody who hasn't had one that's better than any one that's better. I haven't had one that's that's any better. And before that I had that raw one which I thought was good but no there's no competition whatsoever. So anyway I'm surprised neither one of you has brought up anything about the Warriors. What? Don't even start that dude. Don't even I actually watched it. You're not even allowed to bring that out. You're not even allowed to bring that out. I've been doing this all the time. So you know Rob and what's our Rob TV these guys They're all big. Jiu Jitsu podcast. Yes. They're all huge Rockets fans. And so they talk we've been talking **** the whole **** playoffs going back and forth like Oh I can't wait til we meet. Bro we're going to we we're going to sweep them first of all this was a good, this was a good one. They got one in. Well if you're a Warriors fan like me The one we had Iggy out, which by far is one of our best players. So to have him out was was rough to not have him in the series. For some weird reason, we all of a sudden went away from our ball that we've played. I've watched every single warrior game this year, and we have the best team ball than anybody else. I mean, statistically, we average more assist every single game than any other NBA team ever has. So it's just so fun to watch them play this way on selfishness. Yes. And for some fucking reason, we got to the Rockets and the Rockets kudos to them. They played incredible defense, better defense than anybody else has played on. It's got us off our game. And we went to this ISO Durant ball, which I this is what made me stop watching basketball 10 years ago. Yeah. When you had the superstars, you're Shaq and everybody else that they just feed the ball constantly. And I get the theory because this was what everyone was saying, okay, Chris ball, Chris ball, D's up, Curry, and you've got Clay and Harden. Nobody can stop Durant. There's no one to cover Durant with those two matched up like that. So yeah, and he's one of the best players in the world. So give him the ball, let him go to work and game one and two, it would carry us just fine. But even when I watched those wins, I wasn't happy with them. It wasn't the same dynamic. Yeah. Yeah. It changed the whole like energy in the way that they would play typically. Yeah. But it does highlight and not that I'm a fan and watch, but it just based off what you're telling me, it does highlight what you guys have been saying about the Warriors for a while now and is their versatility, right? Their ability to change game plans. And you've been talking about both of you guys have been said that about them. Well, yeah, that's good. I mean, that's great coaching by Steve Kerr to be able to. It's so funny to hear you asking questions. Isn't that nice? Yeah, I've been such a hard time. I'll jump right in. It's like, you're being serious, but you know, it's like, I'll jump right in. Let's get quiet. It's good. I don't know why I feel uncomfortable talking about sports. I'm like, okay, how do I navigate this to make sure this is good right here? So no, no, I yeah, we it's it is coach Kerr is an incredible coach. I think I think he's amazing. I think that that might have been the game plan. I think it worked well. The first two games, I don't think it's smart, though. I'll say something super controversial that's probably going to piss people off that are that are Warriors fans along with me. I don't fucking like Durant on our team. I think that this series is an example of us playing about getting away from the game that we're so we want to we we set the record for wins in a season without him. We want we won the championship without him. Now, we've added him and all season long, we proved that that he proved that he could play Warriors ball. And with him, it was just awesome. Like how so great if you had this crazy dynamic and chemistry and you add a player to the team chemistry stays the same chemistry stays the same. But we saw an example that we hit a little bit of adversity in the playoffs and we reverted to this ball that we've never played. We didn't play. We haven't played this way ever. Like the last five years, the Warriors don't play basketball like this. Like that's against the system. And so to see that and to see Durant to keep doing that it was really frustrating for me that, yeah, we won. I'm happy. But after seeing that, man, if we if we go play like that this series. So are they in the championship now? Is it against LeBron? You know, what's even more impressive? Wait a minute. The LeBron plays for L.A. No, no, OK. Oh, OK. So listen, so the thing that's really impressive. I got some wrongs. Yeah. Yeah, you just I tried. He's like, look at me. I try. This is that what's crazy shows my vulnerability. OK. LeBron is on a team, OK, halfway through the season. There was all this drama with with their team gets rid of like the whole team, practically puts on a bunch of like no name players. OK, he's he's got he's got love. So loves loves great. But by the way, he gets hurt the last two games of the last series. This dude, I would have 100 percent counted the Cavs out. No way they could. No way you could scratch your team halfway through a season and think you can even make playoffs. He blows everybody away. Makes playoffs, then the mother fucker goes all the way and and makes the finals. This is his eighth year in a row being in the finals on all different teams. So you think carrying that team? Talk about one of the talk about the greatest player to ever play the game. And I know the Jordan fans. I'm a Jordan fan. I know. But LeBron James is we're watching history right now, watching what he's doing. So let me ask you guys this from someone who doesn't care and doesn't watch anything like this right. What's the the different are they totally different styles then the two? So is this a contrast of one style versus another style? It is. If we play our game, sell it to me. What is the what is the Cavalier style versus the the Warriors? So LeBron, what is the contrast? Everything runs around LeBron James for the Cavs. So they play the entire off 100. They play the superstar ball. Yeah, it's he comes down opening and free and he comes down and literally he'll wave everybody out, spreads the entire floor. So and everybody just stands there. He goes to work and he demands a double team. So he'll drive past the first guy. So another guy has to collapse and save it. When that happens, LeBron either one has a kick kicks it out or he takes it or he still takes it all the way all the way. So powerful. He'll just take it in. So there's that style versus the Warriors, Nicole basketball, who Steve Kerr is like, you do not shoot the ball until we get three passes minimum every time we come down movement. I like that. Yeah, no, it's great. It makes more fun to watch. I like that. I won't watch it, though. I probably won't watch it. But I like the way you guys sold that. I've had enough sports talk. Can I say something real quick? Let me ask you guys a quick. Who were you guys watching the games at home? Oh, I hope to be there. You're going to go watch it. I said I was going to go. Not all of them. No, no, no, no, I'd be broke. So some of them you're going to watch. Some of them you're going to watch at home. I'm doing it the lame dad way. I'll watch it if I watch it with one of you guys. I'm not going to watch about myself. You watch at my house, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Have you promised to come over? I already had Justin's house. Okay. Thanks, Justin. Everybody's invited. It's on record now. Now you have to do it. I won't give out the address. That was such a curve ball for you to throw that in there. I love it. He looked at his phone and I thought he was going to pull up some study that came up. I do have some study to pull up. I was like, I'm ready to talk. I'm like, my brain was going science. And he goes, let's talk about the Warriors. What? I know. So one thing that I thought was kind of funny was I saw a lawsuit out there. Like Dr. Dre was suing some gynecologist who was like trying to change his name to Dr. Dre. And it's like trademark infringement. Yeah. He's like, I'm the only doctor. Why does he care? I'm the only doctor that can be Dr. Dre. Not some gynecologist. He's getting all angry about it. Who are you serious? The Doug, pull that up. I want to see that. Who cares? Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre sues Gyno. I mean, this is the kind of news I pay attention to. I'm like, why? Why is that matter? Like, you know, he has audiobooks, I guess. And so he didn't want the confusion. I was going to make a terrible joke. I think I'll hold it in, though. Really? The gynecologist sees more pussy than, all right, sorry. All right, there we go. There we go. That's where you're going. Yeah, remove. He lost his trademark battle. So they actually- This doesn't even spell the same. I know, it doesn't even know why he just lost money on that. You know what this reminds me of? Have you guys seen the book, Mind Pump? There's an old book. Oh, yeah. There's an old book. It's not written by us. Don't give the guy any, don't buy it. Or maybe, I don't know if it's a good book or not. It's like some aerobic looking- Look up Mind Pump, the book, Doug. You guys got a lady in like a leotard on it? No, it's a dude with really bad 80s hair. It's very 80s, I find. Yeah, it's like 80s hair and it's about- Okay, Mind Pump book. That's good that we still, we come up over it. Yeah, well, of course, we own this now. We own this, bitch. No, you got to type in Mind Pump. Oh, I guess he can't find- There it is. Oh, there. Yes. Oh, I have seen- He looks like, you know, the movie Cobra? What are you talking about? He looks like Sal. He looks like Sal with a mullet. That was you. That was originally what we were going to do for MAP Santa Paula. Oh, you see the changes red tank to white. Yeah, he doesn't look bad though. He looks very Rambo-esque. He's got a sick Tony Danza mullet. He's a nice looking guy. The psychology of bodybuilding. Really? Okay. Can we order that, Doug? Maybe we should read that. Yeah, go ahead and order that. I'd like to- And then sue them for straight knowledge of it. I don't know. It looks like it's been around longer than us. For sure. If that picture dates it, that thing must have come out in 1983, for sure. Oh, that's hilarious. So I do have- I do have- Just built it up. Real science and that's boy. I do have a study to bring up. Although I do appreciate that. Thank you. You're welcome. That was fun for a man. You're welcome. Refreshing. You're welcome. So I was reading a study that was published by the Journal of American Medical Association. They did a study in 2017 that found that 69% of the CBD products that were tested on the market, 69% of them didn't even have CBD. I'm glad you brought this up. Are you kidding me? No, I'm glad you brought this up because you shared this with me and I forgot we didn't bring this up to talk about it. This is such a good point because, again, like what always happens in this industry, a little bit of good science comes out, everybody's jumping on the CBD. I mean, when we went to Paleo, was that not the big thing? Right? Yep. I mean, this is just- Oh, it makes sense. Remember how expensive it was when we looked into it? Like, of course they're going to like pixie dust or not even use it. Not use it. And what they'll do is they'll, first off, understand the- So easy to do that with CBD. Yeah, and nobody checks, right? Nobody checks. The market regulates it in the sense that the good ones will succeed or whatever. But in this period of time, this interim or whatever, nobody's checking. And what they'll do is they'll get, it'll say on it hemp oil, CBD hemp oil. And it'll give you the milligrams of hemp oil, which doesn't mean anything. You could get hemp oil and have no CBD in it whatsoever. You know what I'm saying? So right now, the only- Or the hustle is this. It'll say like 100 milligrams of CBD. For the whole bottle. Yeah, and there's 97 fucking pills in there. Yeah, exactly. It's fucking great. Yeah, to get, to really get a therapeutic effect from CBD for medicinal reasons, you probably need to take closer to 20 milligrams, at least for a dose. That's a lot for a survey. That's a lot when you look at what CBD is dosed at on the market, which is typically a milligram at the most. I haven't seen anything over one to five milligrams. So it's pretty rare. And that's- You're pretty stingy about it. Yeah, and you're not going to really, I don't think you're going to get much out of that. I mean, remember CBD, what it does in the body, it doesn't attach to the cannabinoid. Well, this has been, you know, this has been hard for us too, because we get stuff sent to the studio every day now, right, like people wanting us to try their products or look at things or whatever. And man, we must have, I would say, 10. So I'll take some home. 10, 10 or 15. I've tried them all. 10 or 15 different companies that have sent us CBD stuff, right? Because of course, Mind Pump comes out, talks about marijuana all the time. So we'd be perfect to sell a CBD. So the problem why you don't hear us talking about none of them is because most of them are doing this. Yeah, we don't. Yeah, we either way underdosed or you take it and you notice nothing. Right. And I'm pretty sensitive to even CBD, which is non-psychoactive. I can tell when I take it. And it doesn't make me high or anything, but I do feel just a little more calm, sensible. You know, the only way I can I can tell a difference with CBD is what you you put me on to, which was if I smoke or I have a high THC. Mix it. I can, you know, I've smoked consistently enough that I know what my my high should feel like. So with and without the higher CBD, I can feel the difference. Oh yeah, what do you notice? Yeah, it's just it's a much calmer. Like it's less psychoactive. Yep. Like, you know, I can do a strain that is very, very high THC. And man, it doesn't take very much of that. And I'm definitely get the kind of the psychoactive. Counter-axle out of the bad. It does. Yes, it does. One of the worst side effects of THC is the memory loss, short-term memory loss. And the studies seem to show that it's not permanent unless you use THC through adolescence, through, you know, with the developing brain. Then some studies suggest it's not confirmed yet, but they suggest and there's been several of them. So I would err on the side of it's that the connection's probably real that when kids use a lot of THC as their brains developing that they have like a permanent reduction in their IQ. And it's not massive, but it's something like 10 points, which if you are in a field where you're really challenging your mind and you're competing with other people like that, you probably want those IQ points, you know? Yeah, I think so. But with adults, they don't seem to see that. They don't seem to notice that. It does improve or improve creativity in some people. But it does affect short-term memory. And I know that if I use too much THC, I definitely don't remember things as well. But studies show that when you take CBD with THC, you eliminate that quite a bit. So CBD with THC, you won't get the side effect of the memory loss. Now I wanna go on record on saying something because I'm really glad you brought this up because I'm getting a lot of DMs regarding this. And we just did an interview recently with Dosis, right, with Jeremy. And of course we've talked about it a lot on the show over the years, is I do not think you need marijuana in your life. If you're going along just fine and you don't feel like you're trying to remedy something, I feel like we've been pro-it for so long that people are like, okay, I've been really hesitant to try it for a very long time but it's like, I trust you guys, you guys say all this great stuff. Like what do you recommend I take or do? And I'm like, well, I don't recommend you take or do anything. What are you doing? Why do you feel the need to even experiment with it? Like what are you searching for? And a lot of people can't answer me. They're like, well, or they'll send me a message like, you know, well, what are some of the health benefits or what are better strains that are healthier or something? Well, nothing's, it's not like a, this isn't like a healthy regimen that you should have in your diet. No, no, I think what you'll find in the future is for health, if you just want good health, you're probably gonna see a lot of cannabinoid-based products, but not the decarboxylated cannabinoids. So let me explain what I'm talking about. So when you take the marijuana plant- Some big words, dude. Yeah, I know. When you take the- In other words, the shit that don't get you high. That's what you're trying to say. When you take the marijuana plant, let's say I pulled the plant out of the ground, right? And I were to squeeze all the juice out of it. It would be full of cannabinoids, but they're bound, they would be bound by an acid. Meaning, if I had a bunch of THC, I think it's THCVA or THCA, I can't remember what the actual acronym is. But when you take that, you don't get high because you have to decarboxylate it, which heat does that. That's why you burn marijuana or you heat it up is it takes off that acid, so it's not bound anymore, then it's psychoactive. But if you take it in the bound form, you have no psychoactive effects, but there seems to be some potential health benefits. But there's a lot of things that act on the cannabinoid system that are not cannabis. Although cannabis has probably the highest concentration and that's what cannabinoids are named after. Turmeric. Turmeric has got cannabinoids or works with the cannabinoid system. So does ginger. And those are things you could buy at the store. Turmeric you could buy at the store, you could juice it. Both anti-inflammatory. But if you don't want to juice it, cause I know how turmeric tastes, I used to do this and it's, you gotta plug your nose and shoot that shit real quick. Buy a good turmeric supplement. I've been using the Organifi one. I take eight capsules a day, four in the morning, four at night. And I get some of the effects that I notice the anti-inflammatory effects and gut health effects that I'll notice from CBD. You know, you mentioned THCA. And did I tell you guys that that's one of the biggest hustles that's in the marijuana industry? So is when they do the testing, you get all these different THCs. And so a lot of these plants will read THCA a lot higher than regular THC. And that's the part that when you go to purchase and you're like, oh, that's 25% THC. That's higher than the other one. I want that one. Cause everyone just, they correlate the THC with what gets them high or fills psychoactive or goofy or whatever. But the hustle with the clubs are, is they'll take the higher of the two reading and they'll post it. And most of the time it's the THCA, but they don't put THCA, they just put THC level. And they put it up there that it's rated. So when you guys see, when people go to clubs, so when you go to a club and you see 25, 27, 29% THC levels, it's bullshit. Like you're hot. I think you're talking, I think what you're talking about is THCV. THCA is what converts to THC when heated up. So I think what you're talking about is another. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know which one they're pulling. They pull from the highest one they can, right? And then that's the number that they use. And that's the number that they use to show people on when they go to the clubs because people are always chasing for the highest, the strongest. And so they're assuming that that is that all the time. Now that more than likely, if you're getting one that's 29, it's the highest in the entire club. It's probably one of the highest too, but it's turned into this game where it's, whatever one's reading higher, we post that up there. When in reality, most of your top cannabis plants are probably somewhere between 20 and 23. I just looked up THCV. It's a tetrahydrocannabin variant or variant. That's a long ass word. You cleared that up. Yeah, there you go. It's an appetite suppressant. Very interesting. Which is the opposite of what THC actually does. I noticed with cannabis certain, I don't get the munchies from it. I know a lot of people say they get the munchies. Yeah, it depends. Smoking it for sure. But like, yeah, edibles don't give me the munchies at all. Really? I'd be more likely to get the munchies from edibles. Yeah, if I was to get anything like that. But again, more studies come out where they do these population studies of people who use cannabis on a regular basis consistently show lower body fat percentage, lower weight, better fasting glucose. They think it has to do with the way the liver and how we go back on to selling it, right? After what you just said. Well, that's why I did one, Mike. Because there is a lot of cool stuff about it. I know you and I are extremely fascinated and have been for a long time in it. And so we talk about all the positive things. You know, the negative things that I see is we say stuff like that and there's a 20-year-old. Dude, it's got to, it can be abused. You know, so I'm going to fast from cannabis. And it is a lot. And what I'm seeing a lot of is the kids that are smoking it now because shows like ours are people that are putting out information about all the positive things. Like that's their excuse. I talked to a lady who's an old client of mine. And she's challenged right now with her daughter that smokes weed. She's home from college, so she's staying with them all summer long. And she's 18 now, so she can do what she wants, but she's coming home still between summer times. And she's like, my daughter vapes on the weed all day long. And she never did that before. And she goes, I have a really hard time. And when she always explains it to me, she explains, mom, it's healthy, it's this. And then she shows me all these different reports and studies that say that it's not bad for her. And she's vaping it. She's using it for that much for some reason. You know what I mean? There might be some underlying. Trying to escape some things. So that's my point. This is a challenge that I know a lot of parents are having, you know. And she was coming to me like, how do I communicate this to her? And that was the first time that somebody had kind of hit me with that. Like, man, what would I say to my 20-year-old son or daughter since I don't have kids. I don't think like this a lot, you know. If they were, I can only think back to the conversation I had with my brother when he was getting to the age where he wanted to try it and hear his older brother had already gone through having cannabis clubs and stuff. Like, okay, like that's a real tough conversation to have. Do you think if your brother didn't have, let's say cannabis didn't exist. Do you think he would replace it with something else? God, that is a hard, that's a hard question I know. Cause I feel like with substances, there's a root cause that causes someone to want to use a substance a lot. But then because they use a substance so much, that also becomes part of the problem. You know what I mean? Like an alcoholic. Well, his claim to why he uses it is he's a serious introvert. And when he smokes, he's more extroverted. And so that's part of why he excuses himself for smoking all the time. It's cause he's always around people and doing things. So he's got social anxiety. Yes. So that's what he uses it for. You know, it's when you- And that's what's tough. What's tough is to tell someone like that that that's not a valid reason. Like, who am I to say like, you have social anxiety for real and you have to interact with people all the time. And it genuinely makes you a funnier, easier person to be around. Which I see that in my brother. Like he, when he's high, he's fucking, he's goofy and fun and he is more outgoing and stuff. So I could definitely see that. But I mean, I think what happened, but my brother also now has to fucking dab. You know what I'm saying? No, it's tolerance as well. I openly admit how much I utilize cannabis. I smoke almost every single night and a dad will fucking comatose me. And my brother is on it all day long. And so the level that he's having to consume because he doesn't ever break from it is ridiculous. And I think that's where a lot of these kids go wrong or people go wrong. I shouldn't say kids. I think there's adults that do too where they start by justifying it that it's healthy or it's not- It's good for me. It helps me with this. Yeah, it's like, it's one of those things that becomes a dependency because yeah, you justify it because it's a performance, you know, enhancement on some level like that. Like it helps you kind of like deal with, you know, certain problems and I could see how that could be. It's just like coffee or like any of these other substances that like I kind of have a go-to for when I want to like perform or do something or, you know, retain information. Like there's chemicals. Right, there's studies that show that wine's healthy for us. Because the antioxidant properties and stuff. You still have to like, you still got to manage it too. I think drinking a bottle a day wouldn't be a good idea. Yeah, whenever you use a substance to help you with a problem, the best way, in my opinion, to use that substance is as a bridge. So I'll give you an example. We won't talk about cannabis. Let's talk about something else. Let's say I have issues with sleep. Let's say I have lots of trouble with sleep and now when it's time to go to bed, there's anxiety around it. I know I always have trouble with sleep which is probably contributing now to my inability to sleep. So I discover a sleep pill. Melatonin. Maybe a natural one. Maybe it's melatonin. Yeah. Maybe it's a root or something like that. And I take it and it makes me relax or drowsy enough to where I finally fall asleep and get a good night's sleep. Now the process there would be to get rid of the anxiety around sleep because now I feel like I have that in case I need it. Allow myself to sleep but then slowly learn how to go about sleep without that particular product. Otherwise, then I become dependent on that sleep aid and now without it, I'm absolutely fucked. And this is true with erectile dysfunction medications. Many times the way men will use them is they'll use them to build up confidence, feel good, like okay, I'm not anxious now about performance and I have it just in case and then they find that they don't need it. Same thing with anxiety medications. When you look at people who use like benzos, like Xanax, is that just having it in their purse or in their wallet and knowing that oh shit, if I get lots of anxiety I have this pill that can help me. Many times that alone can help people out but you can definitely go the route of I need this otherwise without this I'm useless and what happens is you're taking a tool that could potentially improve upon making you feel empowered and instead does the opposite and disempowers you and empowers the actual substance itself and what you don't wanna do is you don't wanna empower anything above yourself because then you're putting, I mean give the power to anybody or anything and now you're at the whims of whatever and that's not a good situation. You always wanna bring it back to you having maintaining control over the process of it. So maybe it's you need a substance to kind of get you in that state of mind or that place but figure out how to recreate that on your own and scale it out. I'm gonna do, coming up here at some point, I think Adam said he was gonna do this with me. I'm gonna do a 30 day fast from- With you, I thought it was my idea originally. I heard you say, I was talking about doing it as well. I told you guys it's been fasted for years and I'm just getting into it. It doesn't matter. All the cool shit dude. Come over the cool shit all the time this dude. You guys can have it. It doesn't matter. But I wanna do a fast from cannabis. I've been thinking about it for a while. I know you talked about doing it. And the reason why I wanna do the fast from cannabis because the thought of doing a fast from cannabis makes me anxious. Just the thought of not going 30 days makes me like, oh shit, I don't wanna do that. It's time. And I'm like, wait a minute. That means I need to. So you know what suck? Check this out. So from literally from Thursday night all the way till yesterday. Yeah, so it was all the way till Monday. I had been throwing up, couldn't hold it down even smoking did not sound good. So I didn't smoke, had caffeine, had anything. And so I was like, oh, you know what? Like, I don't think I want to smoke. I've already not already for some, this would be a perfect time to start my 30 day fast. But then I was about to eat my first real solid meal. And my stomach was like a little light and easy. And I'm like, oh, this would be so perfect for me just to have like two little hits and then go eat. And I noticed and I did. And I was like, and I did have a great meal. And I did feel really good. So I was like, man. That's the whole purpose is to teach yourself that like there's, I think there's ways to use it, utilize it as a tool like that. Dude, when I feel like I'm scared of not using something, that's when it, if I'm being honest with myself, that's when I like caffeine, like, I know when I don't want it. That's my paranoia. Yeah, yeah. We feel like if I don't have it, I just feel so worthless in the morning. And then you start like associating every morning to be the same like that. Like, I'm going to wake up like this every morning, like worthless. Speaking of the caffeine thing, weren't you going to do the enema? The coffee enema? That's right. Yeah, I need one of you guys to help me though. I'll film it. Justin or Doug, I'll look away. I feel like Doug would be the best. I feel most comfortable. I think Doug would be the most gentle. I think you're the one that is inserted. I think Justin would be like, you know what, that's a good point. Justin will hurt me. Adam will probably insta-story it. We don't want that. I trust Doug to help me. Adam will use a lot of lube. He'll really consider it. Use a lot of lube? I'll be like, that doesn't feel like an animal. What else is going on in there? Get your finger out of there. Look, man, I want to make this relaxing. You know, if you're like, say, here's my hands. Did you see everything? Handles. It's a magic trick. No hands. Look, all my fingers are right here, bro. Hey, where's your thumb? That's terrible. Where is pumpkin? Where is pumpkin? Speaking of disgusting, perverted shit, Morgan Freeman, another one bites it does. Another one you mentioned before. Is there details now? Like, what's the deal? So, OK, and I've listened to some of his stuff. I always feel like he would narrate sex. Yeah. You know, like, why he's having sex? And now. Doug, you can pull up the rest. I'm going to turn you over. He wrote a statement of response to the claims. And so I think more is going to come, just like that happened before, right? So remember when the Kevin Spacey thing came out? And, I mean, they first come out with this. They have to come out with a statement right away, right? And so he comes out with a statement defending himself. You know, like, well, you know, I was being more playful and fun. And I apologized to anyone who felt this way. And, you know, I don't know. You know what's funny about this whole thing? Morgan Freeman, when I hear this, I'm like, no, he can't. I really like him. The truth is, I don't know Morgan Freeman at all. No. He could be the biggest asshole in the world. I like his characters. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It just goes to show you how powerful celebrity is. Oh, 100%. Who fucking cares? 100%. You know what I mean? Oh, I think that's what. If he's guilty, take him down. I agree. You know what I'm saying? I don't know why I feel bad about it. Well, I don't fucking know the guy. He's 82, dude. Yeah, they're going after these old guys. Whatever it doesn't say. If you're an asshole and, you know, when you're younger. Is there like an age limit? No. When you're after about 75, you can say whatever you want. I thought that was true. Cosby gets sentenced in what? August or September? Wow. Does he really? Yeah, he's going for a long time. Long time? His death. Dude, how much longer you go until he dies? He's going to die in prison. Could you imagine living? Wow, think about this for a second. Trip on this, Kate. Being Bill Cosby. No, no, if you have the option, like, you know, you have an option right now to live a life that he's lived, which let's be honest, he probably lived a pretty fucking cool life, right? And but knowing that at 80, you're going to spend the rest of your life. Now it's his deal with the devil. Dude, right? Yeah. Think about that for a second. You think that was his deal? That was his deal. When he was a young man, the devil came up and he's like, all right, here's the thing. You're going to be the best. And like, you're going to, you know, have TV shows and have adoring fans, everybody, you know, all this sex you want, this and that. But guess what? At the end of this, yeah. At 80, you're going to prison. You're going to die in prison. How many people would give that up? I know. That's what I'm wondering. 80s is a long time, dude. A lot of people feel, I mean, I got my uncles, like, what, 60, and he's already like, I'm cool, man. Send me out in 10 years. I'm like, whoa, 70? You're just going to cash out, dude? So 80s is like, I mean, that's 10 more years than I was expecting. You know how many people would make that deal? A lot. Most people. Yeah. Because they do that one. That's interesting, right? What was that one poll that they did with athletes where they said, if you could win a gold medal, but then die in five years, would you do it? In five years. Yeah, but this is different. And most of them said yes. Because this would be, you're also a raper. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's totally different. So that's a different scenario. Is that the right term? Well, because I don't know. Are rapers? Because you could, are rapists. That's a very good point, though, Justin. I'm a raper. No, that's a good point. What are you saying? Because you could, he could have went down. Get going to prison or dying or dying or tomorrow away with that for that trade off. I would die, but I want to go tarnished my entire life. Now, anyone going forward that hears the name Bill Cosby will always attach it to all negative stuff. Yeah, man. His legacy is destroyed. Completely destroyed. Completely. Yeah, well, fuck him. I don't believe the Huxtables. Yeah, that's what he gets. Any of them. Die in prison. Mainly him. One more thing before we switch over to the bird. You guys watching the market today and see what's going on? I did not. So Italy, some big financial troubles going on. They're threatening the euro. So there's a little bit of a movement to leave the euro. Europe, the euro will be, I predict, the euro will be gone within 10 years. 100%, 10 years. All crypto. Well, first of all, yeah, if we want to go that route, fiat currencies all always fail at some point. But the spending policies and shit of some of these countries in Europe is so ridiculous. Countries like Italy and France, where they spend so much and tax so much. And you know, Italy's got more bureaucracy per capita than, I think, almost any country that I know of. Like, they have so many politicians. It's so ridiculous. And the markets there are so regulated. It's worse than us, huh? Didn't Greece go bankrupt? Greece did go bankrupt. UK left the market or whatever with Brexit. And now Italy, everybody's kind of freaking out. It's not going to last. There's no way. They're slowing down the process of this crumble, but good luck. What they need to do is they need to liquidate their debt, which is going to cause some pain. There's nothing you could do about that. And they need to deregulate the shit out of their markets. Italy's markets are, there's some stupid laws in Italy when it comes to, like, if you get a job after a particular period of time, it's almost impossible for them to fire you, you know what? Really? Yeah, to protect the worker. More than, like, the 10-year? Yeah, and it's kind of like that. But in reality, it's like the employee ends up sucking. Wasn't it, Europe just passed that thing with the protection online stuff? That just went, have you guys got anything from? Oh, you're talking about the, I forgot the name of that. That's coming now, no? The GDPR or something? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, the GDPR or something like that. I think, like, the deadline is, like, this week coming up over there. So any companies that were, that have your information, like, have to send any. So you should get an email. Like, if there's an app that you have or anything that you're using that's, that's based out of Europe, you'll get it. I've seen Facebook on a mad campaign right now. Oh, yeah, you see. It's like, put ads out, net commercials. You see Uber and Facebook's commercials? Yeah, they're trying to like, yeah. We fucked up, but I'm so sorry. I'm here to save the day. You see that, the CEO, the CEO for Uber, the commercial stuff? Yeah, you really have to see it. Oh, it's hilarious, dude. You know what, I love about this. This is, Uber is one of the best examples, I've used it many times, of like, what these deregulating powers of technology and how Uber's, I mean, almost entirely market regulated, right? It was a race to go past all the regulations. It's, you know, the driver's rate, the passengers and vice versa, and that ensures ridiculous quality. It's fantastic. Everybody likes Uber's over taxis, everybody. But what I like about this commercial, It shows us we can govern ourselves. This is showing that the consumer demands that the fucking companies are conscious, that they do the right thing, and we want to know the CEO. Like, we want to know who's in charge. That's the thing now. I fucking love it. Everybody wants to know that, yeah. You know why your intentions? Do you know why I love it? Because in the past, they would do these polls, right? Where they would go up to people and they'd say, Beyonce, I'm gonna make up some numbers. Beyonce earned $100 million in 2014. Do you think she deserves that money? And people would be like, oh yeah, she works so hard, she does good music, blah, blah, blah, blah. Then they'd go up to some other people and say, okay, the CEO of Walmart earned a salary of $15 million. I find this argument so crazy. $15 million, do you think he deserves that money? No, it's not fair. They need to pay employees more. He's making way too much money. That's ridiculous. All said by people that have never, ever built anything bigger than probably themselves. You know what I'm saying? Like get the fuck out of here. Well, the reason why this is is because we feel like we know Beyonce, but we don't know the CEO of Walmart. And so it's this faceless evil empire, even though he makes less than Beyonce, even though he employs way more people and he creates, I mean, they both bring value to the market, that's why they're paid so much. But arguably, if Beyonce disappeared, it would probably cause less of a issue with consumers and the population than it would if the Walmart, if Walmart disappeared, believe it or not, that would be devastating to the economy, not just because they're a behemoth, but because of all the innovations they made with shipping and how they've been able to bring down prices, all that stuff. And I'm not defending them necessarily with everything they do. I'm just saying, when I see those polls, it makes me so angry, but now CEOs are coming out because I think they see the power of it and consumers demand it. They wanna know who that person is. I mean, it's- I mean, definitely consumers are driving that. I love it. Like the transparency behind everything and same thing with politics too, you know? It's like, we wanna know the intention, instead of just like checking it in as like, okay, you guys are just doing business as usual. No, like let's- Let's see what's really going on. Look what happened. Look what we've done in podcasting just in our small little pond ourselves. Look at how much our friends that podcast that are into, how much you hear what their message is changing. Oh yeah. How often did you hear authenticity before, you know? Or raw truth and shit like that? Like the- I never even heard, I mean, I heard it, but it was not a common thing to even refer to the fitness industry. Fitness industry, yeah. As an industry. Right. You're everywhere now. It's changing. It's part of a growth. It's part of a tide that is not just in fitness. It's in all markets. And it's consumer driven. People have more access to information and things. And this is a very, very good thing. It's great. I think it's honestly, I attributed a little bit to our generation, you know? Like our generation coming through all of the formulas they've been feeding us forever as far as news, as far as politics. We're just like, what? Dude. This doesn't fucking work. Just do something else. Millennials don't wanna own things like older generations. Older generations. They used to study on that. It's crazy. They don't wanna own things. They don't wanna own a car. They just want access to a car. They don't wanna own, you know, they don't wanna pay for hotels. They wanna share spaces. They wanna share. It's just this sharing gig economy. And it's fucking amazing. You know what the irony of all this is? How long, you know, socialists and totalitarians have promised, like if you just put us in charge and we force people, we can force them to work together. The irony is you leave people alone and eventually we figure out ways to work together and it's all through going more capitalistic, but like everybody's sharing more. That's what, like again, Millennials, they don't wanna own things. You don't wanna even own your own information. You want a cloud to store it for you and you just wanna access it every once in a while. Like think about how that's gonna work for so many different things. I guarantee you designer, expensive designer clothes, you're gonna have services that allow you to pay a fee, go pick up a fucking whatever Versace, put it on for a party and bring it back. If it doesn't exist now, I guarantee it. You're gonna see that with everything. I like that. I could see that. I mean, the companies will have to evolve to these types of models in the future for sure. Dude, they do it with cars. Look at my- Dude, the car industry is gonna be crazy. Dude, my brother drove a Tesla down from San Francisco from a private owner through an app. It wasn't even a rental car company, it's a private owner. Who were we just hanging out with the other day and they said that they just, they, every time they go anywhere, they just rented a badass car. Oh, it was your cousin. Yeah, it was my cousin. It was something about that. Yeah, it was like a beamer. He's driving around or whatever. We're about the people that still want that to be super exclusive and not do what everybody else is doing. Dude, you can try. I mean, you can do that. I'm just wondering what that's gonna look like because, you know, the car thing, like having a really nice car was like it set you apart, but that's all gonna change. Nobody cares. Nobody cares about that. They're not caring as much. They're gonna care about something else is what I'm saying. The market will still cause like, okay, so let's use Sal's Versace example, right? Where they end up doing that, which I could totally see something like that happening. So what would happen to, like it would drive the price down like crazy because everybody could try and use it, right? It wouldn't be as big of a deal. But then that would also open the market up for this guy in his garage that nobody knows about. He's super artistic. It's like we're going back to the garage band. Yeah, it will. It will. And it's always been cool to be on something before everybody else is. So that's part of the definition. That's what I'm saying. Like what's gonna be cool, I guess. I think, I think what we've seen is with markets is you see this distribution of wealth. And I hate using that term because it insinuates that it's a fixed pie of wealth when in reality in a market economy, the whole pie grows. So it's not like if I have more, you have less. It doesn't work that way. It only works that way for- Rise and tie to close. Yeah, it only works if it's like plunder, like we're stealing gold or whatever. But when it comes to a market, as things become more efficient, the whole pie grows. And what happens with markets is as they become more free and more prosperous, people with more money grow faster than people with less money. So you have this disparity. However, everybody still grows. So people who are poor today are far better off than poor people who were 30, 40 years ago. But if you had more money 30, 40 years ago, your growth potential's much higher. An easy example. If I invest 10 grand in the market and you invest a million grand, $1,000 in the market. I like a million grand. And they both, yeah, a million grand. That's a lot of grand. Give me that. And they both grow at 10%. You've grown a lot more money because 10% of one million is far more than 10,000. But we still both grew. So what happens, you get this distribution where the wealthy get wealthier much faster, but everybody also grows, which is not a bad thing. But then what happens is technology decentralizes and decentralizes and decentralizes. Like what allowed for, one thing that allows people to develop to build tremendous amounts of wealth is our laws that protect your ideas. Like patents. Like if you create a product and it fucking blows up, you have a patent on it in America. You make a lot of money. Patent's gonna be gone. They're gonna be obsolete. How are they gonna stop? And when patents are gone, like the distribution, it's gonna be so different. It's decentralizing everything. So I think we're gonna have less of the apples of the world where they've got, they'll be probably the first trillion dollar company. When patents are obsolete because they can't enforce them because everybody can print their own thing or whatever. Good luck. I see how this is even changing the way I'm thinking like when I'm shopping for a house right now, right? It's really tough for me to like, I've always had this dream house as a kid growing up of all I wanted to have this and this and all these things, right? When you look at, and we've talked about this on the show before, you've seen when they do the heat sensor on the rooms, right? Like you literally go in like- There's like two rooms with three rooms. Yeah, you use like everybody, like humans like 80 something percent use like- Live room and bedroom. Yeah, like 25% of their home or whatever like that, right? Most of it's wasted. Yeah, most of it's really wasted. And now the way we can access these, I mean, how many homes, how many gorgeous bad ass homes have we stayed in in just the last two years traveling, right? Because of things like VRBO and Airbnb. And it's like, and it's not us trying to, I think it's funny because I think people, the first time we had guests over at one of our houses, they were like, oh my God, baller status. It's like, no, it's not really baller status. It's if- Are you gonna give it away right now? Yeah. You're about to give away? Yeah. If you give- If you give- You're just giving all our ideas out. You got six to seven guys that are traveling together because we rarely ever roll with less than that because of our crew and everything. And the company's got to pay for it. You figure, if they stay in a below average hotel, it's $180 to $200. Yeah, you're gonna spend 1,200 minimum a night. Right. And if, you know what, 1,200 minimum a night gets you and Airbnb and VRBOs. Fucking mansion. Yeah, dope ass houses. Dope ass houses. And you know what? You just gave it away. Infinity pool. No, you know what it is? We're saving money and you get better houses. What do you think it's gonna do to the hotel market? Exactly. Decimate. So I think about this like even shopping for home right now, like really evaluating, okay, Katrina, what part of the house that we use? Cause we have like, I don't know, it's 26 or 2,700 square feet around there right now. And of course I want more, you know? But then I think to myself like, am I gonna really use more? Or could I find a way to make my house a little more, you know, useful and provide the things that I actually do do all the time. And then if I really want a fucking weekend where I go wow out in it. Exactly. I'll be saving so much money and maybe having a small. So I'm struggling with this right now. I've already done this. I've gone down and made a list and let me tell you something. When you lose, I had a house and I got divorced and I lost the house obviously, or at least we agreed upon who gets it, which is not me. You start to reevaluate things. And the thing I looked at, I made a list of the things that I know I'd use and I really want in a house. And it doesn't include a big dining room. It doesn't include a massive living room and whatever. It includes nice bedroom, a big kitchen because that's where we spend a lot of our time. A nice area where I can sit down with my kids and watch movies, a fucking sick ass gym and a study. I was gonna say the study. That's it. I don't care about anything else. I just want really nice those, you know what I'm saying? And then some land, because I love to be able to walk or go for a walk on our land. Or start your own garden or whatever. Or whatever. Yeah, exactly. I'll hire my dad, he'll come do it for me. Yeah, we went to my parents house this weekend for my godson just got baptized. And people, they come over and they look at my dad's backyard and he doesn't have a lawn. He pulled up the lawn and it's just, he's got a farm in the backyard with a bunch of different plants and green beans and tomatoes or whatever. And my girl's like, you don't like doing that stuff, huh? Like no. I actually want to. I actually want to. Yeah, if we had property to do that, I totally would do that. The dogs would tear it up in the backyard right now. Yeah, I can't do it. I thought about doing it. That's why we got the chickens and everything because it was like, oh, it's what a novel idea. You're having eggs every morning and, you know, like. Did that play out the way you thought it was going to play out? No, man, it really, I mean it. Are you just going to eat the fuckers? I want to, but. You fucked him first and he's going to eat him. Yeah, I did. I teach Mawson. This chicken tastes familiar. This quiz brought to you by OrganiFi.

What is another way to build endurance rather than doing cardio? Good question. She sounds like an android, doesn't she? Yeah. Hey, let me introduce you to my android. Courtney B126. Courtney B126. Dude, I watched Grandma's Boy for the first time by the way. Yes, finally. You never seen that? No, you guys told me to watch it. I recommended it. So that voice comes from that dude, didn't it? I'm JP. Yeah, that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So annoying. Now, do they see me? Yeah, you know why I like this question? Because like strength, there's different versions or types of endurance. So like strength, you can say, how do I get stronger? Well, you can develop maximal strength. There's strength in different rep ranges. There's stability strength. There's all kinds of different types of strength, and they all contribute to each other. Endurance is very similar, and I learned this lesson the hard way a long time ago. So back, God, it's been a long time now, but back when I used to train in Jiu-Jitsu during my... I wish I knew why this person wants to... I know, right? That would help. You have a lot of context. Yeah, yeah, I would love to know why they want to build endurance, like are they even presenting the question? So back when I used to train in Jiu-Jitsu, and when I used to, at my most consistent or hardcore, I would do about four days a week of Jiu-Jitsu training, and these are, you know, Jiu-Jitsu is pretty grueling, two and a half hour classes and whatever. And I built up a tremendous amount of, for me at least, stamina and endurance for Jiu-Jitsu. Like I could roll for, I could roll with four or five people in a row, in a row, not stop. You know, we would do these open mats where we do, you know, King of the Hill where whoever wins, the next guy just jumps on top and you keep going. And I developed great stamina. And then I went, then my friend who was a boxer, who I trained at my wellness studio, wanted to do a trade with me. He said, look, I'll do boxing training with you and we'll hit the mitts and the heavy bag and in return you do personal training for me. He said, no problem. I expected, fully expected, to have tremendous endurance because of my Jiu-Jitsu. And boy was I wrong. I went hitting the pads and I'm sure my fitness was much better than the average beginner, but in no way did it match my Jiu-Jitsu endurance. I gassed out like crazy. And I remember people coming from other sports taking Jiu-Jitsu and although they were fit compared to a beginner who didn't do anything, they would also always gas out. And I know there's a skill. There's a lot of that. I mean, like going from football then going to basketball was like a hard transition for me because it's a totally different speed and duration and the way that, when I was playing football, obviously you got to go by time lengths of like rigorous activity, you know, and then stop. And then there's a lot more walking around. Five to 10 seconds in the stop. Yeah. And then basketball is just constant explosive movement for like the whole hour. This is why context matters for this question. It does. And endurance and strength, there's the skill component, which is very big. I think part of the reason why my endurance for Jiu-Jitsu was so much better than boxing was I knew how to move efficiently with Jiu-Jitsu. I didn't have any boxing skills. So it wasn't efficient. Although I did feel my lungs a lot more boxing than in Jiu-Jitsu where I felt more muscle stamina. Because with Jiu-Jitsu, you're keeping constant tension. You're holding people lots of stability, lots of isometric strength. Whereas in boxing, you're constantly moving and exploding, moving and exploding. And so the reason why I'm saying this is why do you want to build more endurance? And if it's general endurance you want to build, well, you can build it a million different ways. You could do HIIT training. Look, if you do math training. I'll give you an example where I utilized like a HIIT style type of a workout where this paid off. I had my two best friends, or excuse me, there's two of us, right? So there's Justin and I, and there's Chris and Jared. And we're all going to do this muddy buddy event. It's the first time we're going to do one of those events. You know how that works? Yeah. It's an obstacle course race. One guy bikes, the other guy runs. And at each obstacle, you flip flop back and forth. And it's 10K. Muddy buddy. Right? So I'm like a porn. Yeah, kind of. Thanks Justin. So it's 10K. And you guys know my stance, we're all kind of the same with the whole cardio thing. Like at that time, especially this is years back, I'm really into building my physique. And I care more about that. I don't want to waste a bunch of time doing cardio. But I also don't want to lose to my two of the best friends because there's a lot of shit talking going back and forth. You've got to win. And so the big joke was that I'm this meat head. I never do cardio. And I remember telling my partner, I'm like, don't even trip, dude. Like I'll just kick up. I'll just kick up the way I train. And that's all I started doing was I started doing HIIT style training and a lot of supersets and low rest periods with my weights. And let me tell you, I mean, from that like four weeks out till I had to go run this Muddy Buddy, which has nothing to do with weights, you know what I'm saying? There was some serious carryover, enough for us to still win. Now, would I have done even better if I would have laid off the weights and then really started training, riding a bike every other day and then running on the other days and doing an obstacle. Oh man, we brought a skunk to shed him. So there is enough carryover that if you're just looking for general endurance, you want to make sure you have that in there, you can absolutely do that through a skill end of it, right? Like you mentioned. And I know Ben Greenfield built an actual course around his house because it helps well too. But it's specific to that sport like of Spartan races. So that way he can train and have that same endurance with climbing and jumping. Yeah, nothing's going to be the same. Yeah, nothing's going to get you better at climbing over an eight foot wall when you're fatigued than running two miles and then climbing over a wall when you're fatigued, you know what I'm saying? Like nothing's going to train you, get you better at that. I can't think of a better example of this than swimming. I can't think of anything that exemplifies what we're talking about. If you see someone who's good at swimming and you watch them swim across the pool, it's so much, so effortless compared to somebody who doesn't know how to swim very well who tries to do the same thing. You will exhaust the shit at yourself. So part of endurance, part of building endurance is your body's ability to become efficient with movement. It's because you're spending less energy and the energy that you do expend is very effective for whatever goal that you have. And that's really the crux of endurance. So if you have excellent running technique, you're going to expend less energy than someone has terrible running technique. And that may be what tips the endurance factor in your favor, even though you may have less on a lung capacity, lower VO2 max, and maybe even lower fitness. So that's an important thing to keep in mind when it comes to nurse. Now, if you want to build general endurance, if I'm talking to the average person, I prefer people focus on, if they want to do hiking, that's great. But I like resistance training to build endurance. And I don't mean strength training. I mean using weights to build endurance. And the reason why I like it, although it's a very general way to build endurance and it's not going to help as much if you want to run farther. Way more carryover, man. Well, not just the carryover, way less chance of building an imbalance. Because the problem with endurance training, traditionally, it's repetitive and it's perfect for setting up imbalances. Like if you ride a bike and that's your primary way of building endurance, you will develop patterns that make you efficient at bike riding, which also make you potentially create imbalances in other areas of life. Same thing with running, same thing with swimming, same thing with swimming. And the reason why that is, because you're just to be clear, that's because you're going into the biking with the imbalances already. And you're just solidifying them even more because you're in this poor posture and you're driving that recruitment path home. Or you can have no imbalances and just cycle. Just do biking all the time. And your body will form into the shape of something that works well with cycling. So now the irony of all this is, by the way, is we talk a lot about strength training and building improvement metabolism and all that stuff. And the reason why we talk about it so much, I actually got this question asked the other day on an interview for a podcast. I'm like, well, why do you hate cardio so much? I'm like, well, I don't hate cardio. I think to be quite honest- We hate the message around cardio. Well, that and to be quite honest, the humans evolved to actually be better at endurance than strength. We perform with, if we train ourselves to, because the average person's got terrible endurance and strength, but if you train to maximize your physical abilities, compared to other animals, humans kick-ass at endurance. We don't kick-ass at strength. You get the strongest human in the world and the average 90-pound pit bull will fuck you up or whatever and strength-wise, right? Or other animals of equal size. A chimpanzee that weighs half as much as you is far stronger. But when it comes to outlasting animals, humans are actually near the top. We do very well with endurance. But the reason why we talk so much about strength training is in the context of modern life, you want a faster metabolism and strength training does that. Endurance training does it. Endurance training is the opposite. So in the context of probably not being active and having food available all the time, a fast metabolism is going to keep you healthier than a slow one will. Well, I also like focusing on work capacity as opposed to just mindless cardio and I'm trying to up my running or my walking abilities. I wanna actually have tangible endurance. So if I'm carrying something super heavy, I don't have to set it down right away. Like I can keep going and keep moving forward because I've built up this gas tank, this motor that I could just keep going for real-world stuff. Like if I wanna build shit outside or be more active and more energetic throughout my day, I think that's another point too. It's like I wanna build up that energy that to pull off of all day so I'm not super tired. I did training kind of revolving around that just recently where I was doing all these farmer carries and high rep snatch trips, high poles and I did a couple complexes and I sucked at first I hadn't done them for a while but wow did my work capacity build up relatively rapidly within a three week period. It was like night and day. I was able to handle a lot more weight and produce more work. So I think that's excellent. I think weights are great in the sense that if you do like HIIT, like HIIT is a great way to build functional endurance. Yeah, like movement. Yeah, so like maps HIIT, how long is maps HIIT? It's a very short program. I think we designed it only to be like six weeks long, right? And we did that for a reason because if you stay in that too long it might not be a good thing but if you wanna build endurance in a short period of time try that and the funny thing is when we released that program, I think 90% of the forum enrolled in it, right? And then people were like, oh I'm gonna start in level. Scratch is a little bit of an itch. I'm gonna start in level three because I've been working out for a long time. And we're like, start in level one, like give that a shot. Nobody could handle level three. Everybody was like level one kicks your ass. I mean it's definitely hard, it's short, I think they're 15 minute workouts. And I like building endurance. It's a good interrupter. Yeah, like have you guys ever done like long distance, you know, steady state type of endurance training ever? No. Where you went on runs or, it was always sports. Yeah, the closest is soccer, like rugby, like I've done sports like that where like endurance was basically everything. But it was still very explosive. At one point I was running because I thought it would improve my stamina for Pujitsu. It conflicts with everything that I've ever wanted to do, you know what I'm saying? That's why. Like it does, it like being- You just want to waste the weight. Yeah, I don't want to be heavy. Yeah, and that didn't contribute to anything else that I was trying to do. Snowboarding, wakeboarding, playing basketball. These are all the things that I care about. So every way that I've always trained my body was to perform better that, or if I was doing something that obviously put, because obviously being a big bodybuilder isn't ideal for wakeboarding, I was always mindful of that, you know what I'm saying? So I think endurance running was just there, there's nothing that I would be like, okay, where is this going to help me anywhere else? And it's just- So I did it for, I want to say six months, relatively consistently, like two to three days a week. And I did it to improve my endurance for Pujitsu. I thought it would, it would, and to be honest with you, it did a little bit, but it wasn't a ton of carryover. I got really good at running in comparison to how I was before. So you do long-winded running, because I used to do sprints quite a bit. No, I actually, I would actually- I would actually go for a five to 10 mile run. Okay. And usually around six or seven miles, but every once in a while I'd throw in a 10 miler. And I got compared to how I was before, so not compared to other runners. I got decent at it in the sense that I could run the whole time. And I started getting to the place where I was, you know, when people talk about running, how it's such a release and it feels so good. I see you for it. It's like four months for me to even understand that, because for the first four months, I'm like, yeah, this sucks the whole time. Yeah, I hate this. But the carryover wasn't that much for Jiu-Jitsu. I remember I was like, well, I can run 10 miles now, and I'm not really seeing that much of a carryover. The thing that gave me the most carryover for Jiu-Jitsu was more Jiu-Jitsu. Like the more I grappled, the more stamina I could get for grappling, you know? That's specific. But towards the end of that, I actually ran a half marathon. I don't know if you guys knew that. I did the rock and roll half marathon. Did you really? At the time with my wife. Wow, I have never done a marathon. It was very slow. You have any pictures of that? Yeah. Of me running? Yeah. Maybe. I want to see that. I want to do it just because they put you in the Clydesdale class. Bro, you know what's funny? I wasn't even that big, because I was doing a lot of Jiu-Jitsu, but compared to all the runners, I was massive. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody's like. Maybe it's a good place for our egos, huh? Yeah, I know, right? That's why I did it. That's why I did it. Bouncy, you know? Next question is from Mike Adam Seven. What would you recommend for helping with tennis elbow? Oh, we did videos on this. We did do one. Did we do a tennis? We call it a rifle flip, this one stretch that it's a tension move too. So it's like, it's a really, really good exercise to work on this job. I believe we also did the, so this was a big deal for me last year when I was going through all this. It was right around when I was bodybuilding. Oh, it's when you were doing all the heavy pulling. Yes. Oh man, it was like crippling it hurt so bad, you know? And so we were, I remember, and I remember troubleshooting it with the boys and we were doing all these things. Nothing made it feel better than when Brink got a hold of me and that floss. That's, well, no, well, he did floss me and that does, that did feel amazing to release that. But when he, when we did the wrist stuff and the wrist control from Prime Pro, which I mean, this was before Prime Pro. So this is him, this is a lot, this is kind of cool for those that like care about how like, how things kind of come about. But I remember that Brink was doing that to me before I'd ever even seen it. That was the first time is he actually applied it to me and I was like, oh my God, this is crazy. This is working. Yeah, and it made a big deal. As long as I did that, as long as I did the work and I put that in before I went into my lifts, it like, and it took a little bit of time. It, mine was so bad that it didn't go from him doing that to, oh, I don't have it anymore. It was like, it made it better and better and better. Some of the strangest moves you've ever done in your life in Prime Pro. Like it's just like, it's just so interesting though, the way that you can feel your way through, you know, your fingers spreading apart. What it is is we lose connection to that internal rotation. It's just, how often do you do anything through your day where you rotate that? It's like alien. Yeah, and so you're doing everything and you start to lose that connection and then you go and you lift a bunch of heavy weight, dead lifting and shit that I was doing. Can overwork it. Yeah, and then just go. By the way, this just doesn't just happen with tennis. Tennis elbow is the name of the problem, but if you have pain at the top of the- The golfers' elbow, they all- Yeah, it's at the top of your forearm where your elbow meets and it's usually, it's either on the bottom where, you know, like it's at the points of your elbow, basically. If you touch the both points of the elbow, that's where you'll feel- Bice of brachialis and the- Yeah, exactly, the extensors and flexors and that's where you'll feel the pain. And here's what happens with certain parts of the body. There are some muscles that are very difficult to stretch and the muscles of the forearm are like that. For example, if I want to stretch out my forearm extensors or like my brachioradialis, which is the meaty part of the top of the forearm, if I bend my wrist forward in kind of that flex, what they'll call thin position or whatever, my wrist locks and so I'm limited. I can't stretch that muscle very well because the joint doesn't allow me to and the problem with that is I can build up a lot of tension. The CNS can fire that muscle a little bit all the time and what is it called? Like a constant state of tonus. This is what happens when a muscle gets tight. It's the CNS is firing it a little bit all the time and that develops inflammation. We also get this in our upper traps. Like try stretching your upper traps. You kind of can't because your scapula lock, your scapula lock and it doesn't go any further and so we get tight there. And so here's an easy way to alleviate pain immediately. Really deep tissue forearm work both on the top of the forearm and the bottom of the forearm near the elbow but that's temporary because it's not gonna take care of the root cause of the problem. Then you gotta do the tension movements like you're talking about in Prime Pro. Yeah, the flossing will give you, I mean if you don't have someone to do a deep tissue on you you can floss yourself in that spot and that is like feels amazing. And I know that I don't know if we've done a video on that that's a good idea Doug for a video is to do a floss video. Maybe we'll have Taylor go over to Brink and have Brink do it to one of us so people can watch it. But with the deep tissue massage does in a case like that is when they're pressing on that muscle and it hurts and they're working through it what it's doing is that pressure is sending a signal to the central nervous system telling it to relax. And that's why you feel a release or why you feel a knot and then the knot dissipates and you think, oh you worked out that knot and I think what we have in the signal yeah I think what we imagine is like our muscle fibers are all jumbled up or something like a bunch of cords and you push on it and it straightens them out. That's not really what's happening. They don't get all jumbled up like that but what is happening is your CNS is sending it's like a muscle cramp but a much lower one and it's like this constant signal that's going there. So imagine if you were flexing your bicep just a little bit but all day long. You know you're gonna get inflammation and many times it's at the insertion origin. I mean just close your fist for 10 minutes straight flexing your foot and then trying to open your hand and see how that feels. Exactly and so what the massage does is you press real hard on that muscle that pressure if you apply it long enough will cause the CNS to chill out, muscle relaxes and now you get a little bit of reprieve and if you do that good enough and you do that long enough that CNS signal will be dampened for a few hours at least and sometimes a couple days. But if you don't fix what's causing the problem then what'll end up happening is you'll have to massage the muscle every single day to get relief. Just like when people go to massage therapists for the same problem over and over again. Like oh she works out my neck but then by the end of the week my neck hurts again. It's like okay you gotta fix why that's happening in the first place and it's just you know. In short this is in Prime Pro so if you're somebody who's dealing with this that's a worthwhile investment just for this alone and then in addition if you have any other stuff. But it's super common. One of the first places I'll touch on a client is when I stretch them out I'll extend their arm and I'll press at the break your radialis at the top near the elbow and inevitably nine to 10 times everybody's like oh that hurts and then it's like cool let me show you what I can do and then they buy training. The next question is from inspired to be fit. I'm a person who has a hard time with empathy. I feel like many situations where I'm supposed to feel empathy showing empathy would just feed a person's victim mentality. Am I an ask because I view problems as an opportunity to improve and think other people should too? No you'd be just like me then. Am I a sociopath? I feel like people who fall into this category I'm gonna generalize okay. 10 to be two cases. One is the person who's never been in a situation that's difficult and they've had everything handed to them and so it's hard for them to see empathy. But there's also on the opposite end of the scale and I'll put Adam there is somebody who's been through a tremendous amount of trials and tribulations and difficulties and has overcome them and succeeded and knows that's possible and knows what it takes and then looks at people and said look if I can do it you can do it. And I feel like people tend to fall. Is that fair, is that a fair thing to say? It's rare that someone, if you really feel that deeply about it like this person is writing and I definitely can relate to this. But not empathize. Yeah right. No I don't think, I don't know anybody that is like that that hasn't been through something right? You would be an ass. If you haven't been through some shit yourself and you have this attitude like you are an ass that's how I feel because you definitely don't know what it's like to go through some shit. But more than likely what gives you this feeling is you know you've had a hard life. Now I said that I am like this much of, I think my childhood I was like this I've kind of grown out of this to where I have, I have empathy for everybody because you, even something to me that I, what I've realized over time is like that was so crazy and we'll use my dad's suicide because that to everybody else is so crazy. But when I think of all the crazy things that I've been through my life like that actually doesn't even come up as for sure than I want. It comes up as number one for everybody else because that's how everybody viewed it. But I was so young like there's been other crazy things in my life that have scarred me more. So then if I have that perspective and I know that about myself, well what about everybody else? Like you know I don't know how connected they were to something and how devastating that was for them. So I feel like everybody has had their hard times. You know what I'm saying? Like so it's- That's true because you don't know a person. You don't. You can look at someone and see what you consider success or what you consider oh this person has all these opportunities. But you don't know that person's life. Look I've trained, I've been a trainer, a top charging trainer or whatever. My rates were pretty high towards the end. And so a lot of my clients were wealthy, very successful, wealthy people. And let me tell you they have their own issues and problems. I had clients who had kids who committed suicide, had clients who had divorce issues and fidelity issues, drug issues, depression issues. And you know on the outside you look at them and be like oh you've got money, you've got success, everything you know must be so awesome for you. But you never know, you don't know. And then you see people with difficult circumstances and they seem to fly right through them. So it's a difficult one. The way I look at it is this. I feel empathy towards people because I assume most people are good people and I assume most people want what's best for themselves and their families. I assume that. Doesn't mean it's true for everybody. Guarantee there's some assholes out there and just plain old lazy advantage taking people. But I- I have empathy for them because I look at them and I go like oh man that's too bad that they're still stuck there. There you go. That's how I look at it. So I do- That's what I was gonna say. I'm frustrated with it where it's like oh my God they haven't been through half the shit I've been through and I'm here now like come on fucking grow up or grow through it or whatever there's opportunity. I look at it and go like oh man that sucks they're still in that place right now where they view everything as a huge problem and it's so devastating in their life. So a long time ago I had a client who was very successful in business. Very, very successful in business. And we were working out together and I asked her I said you know you're so successful in business and you're self-made she was self-made female on her own didn't have a high education but she went out and started business and did really, really well and just a heart just a hustler and seemed to just be fearless in that sense right. And so I asked her I said well why is it so easy for you and so difficult for other people? Like why do people so challenged with this kind of stuff? And she said Sal I think the same thing when I look at you and health and fitness versus me. And I was like huh? And she's like it's so hard for me to eat right and so hard for me to exercise and consistently take care of myself and it's so easy for you. And she said the reality is it's all the same for whatever reason I choose to be a victim and not empowered when I talk about health and fitness but when it comes to business I feel so empowered and I'm starting to realize that I can just apply that to anything and it blew my mind. It blew my mind because it's so true. Now one of the things I love about fitness is it's so black and white. I can look at someone and be like you're 40 pounds overweight, you're unhealthy, you have all the power to change that. And I know this, I know this. I know how difficult your circumstances could be but I've never met anybody who couldn't dramatically improve their health through their own control. I have never in my life met anybody who couldn't do something about it. So I know that's within their control but then I can reverse that on myself and be like why am I feeling like I'm a victim with these other things which I feel I probably have a lot of control in like I do with fitness. Absolutely. It applies across the board. That's what I'm saying, everybody has that. There's something else that you've, and there's stuff right now probably in my life that I make an excuse for, oh yeah well I'm not very good at that because I don't care and it's not important and all that but it's like okay, well if that was, if that was something that I wanted to be or whatever I could apply myself and be that way. So I think that to me is the empathy that I have. I think I feel sad that the people are still stuck in this place but I don't necessarily think that. I think it's a practice. I think empathy for me has come easy at times and then I don't know over the years you see patterns and you see how people, they get stuck in a train of thought and the victim mentality and that like you just know that they can empower themselves and you just want that for them and so you want to be able to give them the right coaching or the right thing to say, to motivate them or get a spark back you know but at the same time you want to kind of make sure that you're leading with empathy so like the empathy is gonna open up the conversation for me now. Have you guys ever found a situation where you were able to communicate through someone like that? Cause I feel like I've always had to wait for someone to ask for it. They have to be ready. Yeah, yeah, no you do. Anytime that I've wanted to tell somebody that they're being a victim or do this or do that. It only feeds into the victim mentality. When you tell somebody who feels like they're really at the whims of external forces and they have no control, they have no, they've had no role in it or whatever and you're on the other end of it and you tell them, hey man, look, you can change your choices. You can quit your job. You can leave your spouse. You can start exercising. You can go to school. You can educate yourself, whatever. What it sounds like to them is you're just judging me. You don't know what it's like and it only feeds that. Easy to say, right? Easy to say. It feeds into that particular mentality. I mean, the way I look at it is everybody's on their journey. Everybody's on their own journey, learning their own lessons. Definitely treat people well based on their character. If people are nice to you, be nice to them. I think empathy is a wonderful, incredible human trait. I think it's something that we should all practice more of but there's also a toxic form or a toxic dysfunction that can come from that where you wanna control, where you wanna just, just like you said, Justin, like I have the answers for you. Just let me help you. That's like, let me control you. Let me take over. Let me do everything for you, which never works. Never works. Never works and historically speaking, when that's applied on a large scale, results in tremendous suffering and death. So you gotta be careful with that and then there's also this toxic part of it. Look, I don't remember what's the term of it. I can't remember the term of it but there's this type of parenting where you empathize with your kid and it's much more common when a child has a perceived disadvantage. So let's say a kid has either a physical disadvantage or a mental disadvantage, ADD or whatever or food allergy and the parent wants to do everything for them. I'll do that for you. I'll do that for you. I'll take care of you. I'll do it because they feel- A helicopter parent? But to the extreme and what they're doing is they're not benefiting- They're not giving their kid any tools. They're not benefiting their child at all. They're setting them up for failure. Yeah, which is tough. It's something that as a parent, you have to learn how to remove yourself from a lot of the processes. So again, it's a practice. This is something that you literally have to like, you've gotta work on this constantly because intuitively it might sound like, oh well, I could just help you with this. You feed into that sort of need that you have to kind of get things moving in that direction but you have to really check yourself. I really used to love the part about managing people that I used to love the most would be taking in people who were eager to improve upon themselves and then I just show them or give them the tools and then watch them. And every once in a while, check them a little bit and make sure that they're back on what their original goal was. I used to love watching that. I had no tolerance or I shouldn't say tolerance. If I saw somebody who came in said that they wanted to grow or succeed, then they're given the tools and then they themselves failed. I'm empathetic that they're challenged with it but I'm not gonna like sit there and do it for you. I'm not helping any, I'm definitely not helping myself when I do that and I'm definitely not helping you. I think people need to be held to their own responsibility. I think a mirror needs to be shown into people sometimes but definitely, I mean if humans were empathetic towards each other but also took responsibility, that would be a bit of a utopia. But it is easy to judge others, right? It is easy to look at someone and say, hey, you can just do this, it's so easy. Cause I feel like challenging situations are just that. I feel like they're extremely challenging and it's easy to look on the outside and say, this is all you need to do but being put in that situation. I've been through periods of depression and stuff like that and let me tell you man, it's a weird world to be in. It's very difficult to come at it and I'm being fully aware that I am in that state. At some point too, you have to strongly ask yourself too, like why does this bother you so much too? I think that's an important question to ask this person, right? I mean, don't you think so? I think so, I think you see sometimes people getting angry with other people. Right, that's what I mean. Like if it bothers you that much or you feel that strongly about it, like there's a question to be asked right there like what, and that probably comes from because someone who's been through a lot, this was me when I was younger, had a chip on my shoulder because look, and that's part of me- I'm desensitized. That's me wanting to feed my ego because I want to be recognized for what I overcame, right? I want to be recognized and told, man, you fuck, I can't believe you did that. Oh, that's so amazing. I want to be, if I'm not getting it and I got somebody in front of me who's, you know, oh poor me, this and that, like it bothers me but why it really bothers me has nothing to do with them, has everything to do with me. So you got to ask yourself that if you're just asking this question or if it really does bother you every time you hear people in a victim role, well that may be saying something about you and what you're dealing with with your own ego. Yeah, you know, a good stories to read are how POWs survived, you know, being prisoners of war and the mental toughness that they developed and the games that they played with themselves to keep themselves sane and alive. And one of the big themes that you'll see within that is that they empower themselves with whatever they can empower themselves with. And if that just means I will, you know, think about this differently or perceive it differently and live my life on an hour by hour basis because that's many times what they do is they break up their day or their weeks or whatever into hours. Like I'm gonna make it till, you know, next hour and I'm gonna do this thing or I'm, and it brings them through some times that you wouldn't believe how difficult they were. So, you know, I can, and it's again, it's easy for me to say, but I think looking at it, empathy is a good thing. Feeling sorry might be a little different than empathy. Being angry at people, unless they're affecting you, you know, I don't see why you'd feel angry. Next question is from Hooligan. How do you rein in your egos? On the ego talk, impossible. You know what, I learned about this particular phrase recently, that there's an ego, there's a big ego in many times raining in your ego. You know what I'm saying? Like someone who comes up to you and is like, let me tell you something, dude. I dissolve my ego. I'm egoless. I'd fucking, you know, I drink. Impossible. Yeah, I drink ayahuasca every other weekend and I meditate. Zero ego. And I have zero ego. Do you know what's talking in that sentence right there? Your ego, your ego's talking. It's not such a bad thing either. I think a lot of people- You have to have an ego. Yeah, yeah, it's important. It's a bad rap for sure. You have to have an ego. I think it's when your ego starts to become toxic to you, is when you gotta kind of rain it in. When you start to think that you're, it's when it starts to develop an unhealthy narcissism where you're everything, you're the best, you're always right, you're never gonna examine anything you do. Oh, there's a balance there. I mean, you do have to believe in yourself. It's like, how are you gonna be successful if you don't believe in the process and your own skill set? It seems impossible to me. So of course, there's gonna be some element there, but yeah, it's checking it so it doesn't get out of hand to where- But do you think any of us need to do that or that you could see any of us even getting to the point where we would need to do that? I think all of us have- We came into this with a very- I think all of us have strong egos, definitely, strong egos, but then we also identify with checking it and growing. I think we do it to each other too. Big time. It's not just like an internal conflict, which it is, I could speak for myself, just like being around you guys and knowing how we're all kind of contributing to this. It's like, oh, I know what's coming. If I say something, they're gonna get me. You know what tends to rain in? This is funny too, because this is the opposite of what you would think. If I get a compliment from someone else, that actually makes me check my ego, then if I don't, does that make sense? Sounds like the opposite, right? Say that again, what'd you say? So if somebody says something to me like, oh man, you did a really good job over here, you kicked ass. I could see how that would make your ego wanna blow up, but it does the opposite to me. When they say that, I start to feel humble and like, oh, let me think about what that person's saying. Yeah, it's kind of the opposite. Do you feel, do you get that too? I get uncomfortable. Yeah, I agree with that. I agree. I mean, this whole Viori, Meir, and, you know. Very humbling. Yeah, very much so. Where I think somebody, but that's because we never were chasing the fame thing or that, I never cared to feed my ego like that. Like it was never like that. I think we actually dislike it a little bit. Not a ton, but I think that's probably the fame aspect of it or getting recognized. I don't see any of us getting comfortable with that. What I like about it, and Katrina asked me about this, because we love to talk about this stuff like this. And she's asked me like, you know, how did that feel? Like, what are you going through right now? Like, how are you processing all this? And I'm like, well, I think, and she's like, are you, you don't seem like overly excited. I'm like, no, this was an incredible time. Like, we met some great people, I had great conversations. I said, you know, I gotta be honest. I was a little nervous going into it, but not nervous having to do with the people, having everything to do with, you know, I allowed Taylor a lot of autonomy and like go ahead and, I didn't know much about what we were doing. And that's the first time that we've really done something that I didn't feel like I was a part of the business and the decisions and how it was gonna be done. So there was a lot of pressure on him to deliver on a really good experience, more so for our guests than us, right? And so I was really concerned about that. And so the fact that it was blown out and it was huge and there was a ton of people and it went amazing, that feels awesome. So I kind of look at it more like that and it's great feedback that I know we're delivering the right message. I know we're doing the right thing. So I feel really good inside. Like it definitely made me feel good. And then like the conversations that we had, I was blown away by a lot of the questions, not having anything to do really with fitness, you know, maybe overall health and wellness, but more like relationships and communication and things like that. I thought that was really cool to get that, that, okay, we're impacting. That made me feel good inside. But none of it drove it anywhere near this. Like it didn't make me feel cocky or aha or nothing like that at all. I don't think any of us have that. You know what that comes from? I mean, fuck, we had people chanting outside. That was kind of trippy. Cause she asked me that too. That was trippy, dude. You know, a hundred people outside chanting, mind pump, like with nobody orchestrating it, that was kind of fucking weird. It was really weird. It was complete music. Right? What the hell? That was really weird. You know what I think? I think that the big bloated ego comes from. It doesn't come from confidence. I think one of the best ways to reign in your ego is to be honestly confident. Yeah, secure. Yeah. Because when you're insecure, that's when that shit comes out. You're exactly right. If I was super insecure and then boom, we had all these people in here, I would feel like, ah, yeah, fuck yeah. You know, you would have that attitude, but I don't think that anybody has that. I don't think anybody felt that way. In fact, I remember the conversation we all had the first time afterwards, and I believe Sal brought it up right away. He's just like, man, we have a serious responsibility. That's all I felt from it. Yeah, it was exact words that were said, and then everybody was like, yeah, no, fuck dude. And that's where we all started sharing. Like, did you guys talk to anybody about macros? No, it was really deep conversations and just the experience. Everybody had a unique experience across the board that I had no idea, like some effect on some episode that we had. It's just like, it's crazy to me. It's funny too, the more confident you start to feel and just comfortable, I should say, comfortable in your own skin and confident you feel, the easier it is to, when you see it in other people when their egos come out of their insecurities, like the dude that needs to be loud and to pump up or the whatever, you see that morning like, oh man, that's kind of crappy. It's embarrassing. Yeah, that person's not feeling very... I even feel like in this situation too, like we all have, you know, everyone, and you said this before Sal, just everybody kind of naturally just allows certain people to lead and not lead in all these projects that we have done. Like it's always been that way because nobody has cared about being the man or no one's searching for that. You would see the struggle or you probably as an audience that you'd probably feel the struggle between the three. I mean, I definitely, I felt that within the first 15 episodes when we recorded with Craig. Oh, right, right. There was no doubt there was an ego struggle about it to the point where I was like having to ask myself, like, is this gonna be okay with you Adam? Like, are you gonna be able to bring somebody in like this and just let them run all... And I was like literally trying to project... Another 20 episodes you guys would've gotten to fight. Yeah, for sure, right? It would've gone down. 100%. And so, and I don't really think that's because I'm struggling to be... No, it just would've been conflict for sure. Right, because I didn't think that was a healthy way for it to grow and exist, which is I think what you guys, and we all agree upon is that... Well, you can see it's gonna crash and burn. So you probably would've tried to stop it from happening before it did. Right. And it started a little bit of a battle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it all worked out serendipitously. And in fact, I actually think that sometimes we can be timid and I like to press all of our egos a little bit because that's when some of the specials of each of us, I think, come out too. It's funny too, because there's such a... People talk about the male ego and it is pretty funny. Like, if you see a guy who's, let's say, his girlfriend is stronger than him or maybe she earns more money than him and he gets so challenged by that particular issue because, oh, I'm the man, I need to be whatever. And I've seen the same thing with women where if this has happened to me, like, you guys know I love kids. I love children, love babies. And babies like me too, for whatever reason. And I've been in situations where I've been somewhere with my sister or something and the baby wants to hang out with me and cries with her, blows their ego out. Like, oh, they're supposed to like me more because I guess I'm a guy and they're not supposed to like... And it's funny when you think about it. You know, it's really funny when you start to see these types of things, like, you know, who cares? You know what I mean? Who gives a shit? I think that's the... How do you reign in your ego? That's what you gotta say. Who gives a fuck? Check this out. We have Instagram pages as well with different information than you will hear on the podcast.
