 Because I'm not featured regularly on this show, I think a lot of people think I'm just that person behind the scenes and I don't really do a lot except for the technical aspects of the business. However, I do contribute a lot of different things by very subtle means. I'd watch the videos now that we're on video a lot and I would see these guys and sometimes I felt like they looked like they just came off the street. That ungrewed, he looks like he just woke up. He's just a bad look for us, you know what I'm saying? They definitely look like they needed a little bit of, you know, tender loving care and we want to look very professional here, right? I can't believe that. I mean, they need to do something with their hair, okay? I mean, Adam obviously doesn't have any, but just take a look at his beard. We're a professional podcast. We're the number one fitness podcast in the world. Adam's beard is not so bad here. It's a little sparse looking. It's not very well trimmed. So I said, okay, we got to get somebody in here that can make these people look great. Justin looks like he should be walking around in his underwear with a beer in his hand. I mean, come on. However, how do you slide that in without them taking offense? Well, I of course enlisted Adam because Adam is our style guru, right? And so I said, hey, Adam, you know, you're the sharpest dress guy here. You know, when your beard is super trim and cut and your head shaved perfectly and you've got the caldera on it and it's got a beautiful shine to it. It just makes you glow. You see, what if we could do that every week? And the next thing we know, Vicki is in our life. And all of these guys like our super cuts guy, Sal, okay? He's in there getting himself styled up really nice. He's got a nice part down the side. And I got to say the level went way up. I'll probably take a nap this afternoon or something, like an old man. Yeah, yeah, no, I feel absolutely terrible for poor Vicki, right? I mean, she gets Justin and I, which I'm sure is easy, right? I'm obviously easy to cut my hair, right? It's not a lot of work for her to do. But she probably has the most work with Sal. That seems extremely addictive. The part that's probably the most challenging for her is she's got to sit through and listen to him talk nerdy signs the whole time, you know? HCG levels and metabolism and mitochondria. HCG is a hormone that's produced during pregnancy. Delta crutch August 2, 1985, Vicki L-1011. In fact, that's what pregnancy tests attack. Right, yeah. I'm sure he's telling her all this bullshit and she's probably just nodding her head and agreeing with him, pretending like she's really listening. But I know she's not. You eat 500 calories, you're going to lose weight. We're sure. That cold means they're like epinephrine or epinephrine. It's like the energy chemicals. Quantis. Quantis? Quantis never crashed. So I don't drink coffee typically, sometimes I do. But usually I'll do caffeine pills with theanine. Theanine is going to help you ride out that buzz and keep you nice and sharp and keep that high elevated. Yeah, I've heard that pitch a lot and the first couple of times appreciated it. But honestly, I just sometimes I just want to indulge and have my coffee in peace. And it's ranking one to five in a lot of the small categories. Exercise and fitness has been pretty good around in the top 20. And I'm sorry Vicki, but that's literally just what's going to happen. No, Vicki is really cool. Obviously she does a good job with our hair, but she was really interested in all the intricacies of nutrition and fitness. And so I was able to go into some depth and she seemed to really appreciate it. I think she likes to learn a lot of stuff. So we were able to go down some pretty good rabbit holes on Christian stuff. So I know she liked it. It's not just a hair thing. I brought in one of my friends, Michael Wilcoxon. He's a professional comedy sports player. He's been doing this for a good 15, 20 years. The thing that I want us to do for this is say yes and add more information. I knew there was going to be a little resistance around it. Especially with Adam because Adam kind of, you know, he kind of thinks of himself as a very spontaneous guy. Five things that you would eat with cheese. Justin, of course, he kind of thinks of himself as a comedian. Yeah, you know, the thing about comedy is, you know, there's multiple types of comedy. I know how to sell it to these two guys. I'm going to say, you know, just play along guys. Sal really needs the help. Down. All right. Up. No, no, no. Down first. I did what I said. All right. Down. You know, secretly the whole idea of bringing funny Mike in was, you know, Doug came to me and he says, hey, you know, I know Sal carries the show with the studies a lot and that's really, really important to the growth of the show, but he's so fucking dry and we need to loosen him up a little bit. So if maybe you and Justin could go along with this whole idea of having this comedian come in, really it's to improve Sal on the show. I know you guys are great already, Doug said, but we really need to work on Sal. And so this idea right now is, you know, Justin and I, we have to kind of play dumb a little bit. Like, you know, oh yeah, this is really helping us out. Oh, thanks, funny Mike. But really it's to help Sal out. I said, all right, Adam, Justin. Play along with me. We're going to bring this guy in and it's for Sal. But here's the truth. They all needed it. One, two, three. Oh, come on. You see that? I like to focus on real spur of the moment improv, like things that, you know, aren't so forced. One, two, five, two, three. Four, none. The other guy. You know, everybody's sort of waiting. What are you going to say next? Applesauce. Four. Teriyaki. Five. Five free. Wow. That's great. That's perfect. There's something called a Freudian slip. This is when you say what's on your mind on accident, you know. Come on. Hot chicks. Three. And so the game makes us say things quickly. And it's just very obvious what's on his mind. Yeah. Food, cheese, hot women. I mean, that's basically like, if you could peer into Justin's brain, it would be like a music video. And there'd be like chicks pouring like nacho cheese on themselves. That's like his, that's his brain. What's going on with that? One, two, three. Off-road! Off-road! Oh, my God! Off-road! Yeah, I got him. It's just a frivolous Adam Pritchard. I love this guy because he gives us these great analogies. My favorite part about the analogy is that they normally fly over Sal's head. Like he gave this analogy about volleyball the other day. In volleyball, someone's got to set the ball. And so being the person that sets the ball is really fun. And in comedy sports, Sal just, you could see the look on his face and pretending like he knew what was going on. But absolutely had no clue what setting in volleyball meant. You have to be fast, right? Pizza! Two! Doritos! Three! A burrito! Four! Tacos. You've got to be on your toes. You've got to be able to make certain statements or play the game with, you know, accuracy and... Five exercises for calves. Oh, wow. Steady calf raise, seated calf raise. You know, it was cool because, you know, I did really well, but then I was like, uh, man, you know, it's like another thing that, you know, I'm better at the guys that, you know. So it's like, whatever. I mean, they're used to it by now. Time! One! Shaving! Two! Eating pizza! Three! Taking a nap! Four! And putting cocaine on it! You know, we all did, you know, our best. And I would say, you know, I was kind of blowing everybody away. And then Doug was, he was doing decent. He's had a lot of practice. He's done this before. I don't know if a lot of people know this, but he did improv for a long time. So he's like, called upon all of the skills, right? Of course, for me it was the first time I ever did it. So I just, I think I'm a natural. So you don't have to incorporate it. All you have to do is be talking. But also listen and answer. Right. So you have to be talking and narrate this and narrate the... No multiplication, no division. Addition or subtraction is all we're going to do. Katrina and I and Max, we went out to Hawaii, right? Five or seven. And we saw, you know, this 12 foot long snake that was actually on the beach. Is she always go topless? She does sometimes. You know, she's really comfortable in her own skin. But, you know, it was around three o'clock or so. We actually got burned right here because she laid out for so long. We play all these different games. One of my favorites to play is we do this photo album game where you pretend like you're telling a story about a trip and you're showing a photo album to the other guys. And the idea is that the other guys are throwing math problems at you while you're telling this. But, I mean, I mean, that's my jam. So you got Sal, first of all, who has a hard time counting above 15 because of all his years as a personal trainer trying to throw, you know, 15 minus three. Like that's going to stump me while I'm telling a story. So no way are these guys going to slip me up on math and storytelling. So, I mean, that's my jam. And probably one of my favorite games that we played. It was crazy. Is that speedo? What size did you get there? Yeah, well, it's almost 15. This is a double X, you know? But, you know, it's about 19 inches all the way around. Adam, I could see a little bit of smoke come out of his ears. I think there's a few circuits that burst or caught fire in his head. If you get Adam thinking too hard, he's got to go take a nap because it's just too much for his... He's already working at full capacity with his... Up diagonal. You know, it's like trying to get like 400 horsepower out of a two cylinder car. Like you could do it, but there's a lot of like nitrous and turbo and weird things happening. So, you know, I know Adam afterwards had to go take a nap for about 40 minutes before we started the podcast. He's another guy. I like the incorporation. I thought that was taking us to the next level. My favorite part about incorporating these improv sessions is just being able to let loose and get a little bit silly and wacky. He's a twink. It goes right with your drink. Yeah! And then she joins in. She joins in. We tend to do a lot of serious conversations and then we try to find the fun in that. And we're sort of flipping that model on its head. And I'm curious to see if this brings out another side of mind pump that people can see. It's pizza dough, right? It goes with cheese. Now it's like a pizza twinkie. Like a flavor explosion in your mouth. What I'm really enjoying is seeing the benefit for the entire production. So, again, behind the scenes, I have to be very subtle, very ninja about my approach, but it's effective.
