 Do you think that's a gimmick dude? You know, I'm like, why do I keep getting served these ads? I'm not interested. Yeah, it comes with leather straps like this, too. I'll stick with the ball gag, thanks, though, guys. It turned into a winter mouth too wide. Apparently, it's just kind of one of those things I wish I didn't know. But like, if you open up, it's like, what were you trying to get in there? Well, I wasn't going to name names. The year's our first lawsuit. Everybody needs an upper body support in. Ladies and gentlemen, Gossip Boys here with another topic thunder. My name is Silent Mike. Dean Sidors, CaptainInKilos.com, the one and only, JimMcD3SP.co, and Killer Kai. We've all been in the industry quite a while. Way longer than I'd like to be. Hey, it's a long journey here. It goes by fast, dude. It does. It's over a decade for me. Yeah, that's way over that for me. What is the craziest, weirdest, gimmicky thing? The fitness is known for gimmicks. We're known for detox teas. This base layer of pop culture loves fitness, especially all of a sudden, right? All these celebrities are trying to do yoga and the new this, and they're all gluten-free and they're all vegan. We're all in California, so we get some of it. But we'd like to think we dug down a little bit into what works with science. What's the weirdest, craziest thing, whether it could be in our pocket or on this surface layer that you've ever seen? And if you don't got one, I can start out the way. I mean, I don't have one. It's going to be hard to beat the fucking Shake Weight. Yeah, I was going to say. Shake Weight's pretty good. I love the Shake Weight. But I don't want to talk too much about the Shake Weight because everybody knows about it. So let's think of some other ones. Do you think that's a gimmick, dude? I think it's an SNL or maybe a mad TV, I think it's a mad TV skit that's basically making fun of the Shake Weight, which makes you know that when pop culture's making fun of it, like it's such a gimmick, like you're right, like Shake Weight's too big. But they sit on this thing and you've seen my video, right? It's basically like a Shake Weight that goes between your legs. And it's long and you sit there. Yeah, it's long and ribbed. Tug toner. Yeah, the tug toner skit. The craziest one, and I've actually got quite a bit of views on this, which is lovely. But I think, whoa, they started to try to sponsor me. And I don't know if they found this video is the jaw trainer. Yeah, I used to see those ads on my feet. And I'm like, why do I keep getting served these ads? I'm not interested. So I think I ripped them in a video. And it's like we're biggest gimmick in all of fitness or something. I ripped them. And then not only would their ad play on there, just because random fitness stuff, but they started to email me trying to sponsor me, sending me a rubber piece of gum that you want. Like why don't I just chew gum? The owner's a fucking kook. Yeah, I'm sure. And maybe it works, right? Like there is a muscle in our jaw, but same idea. Like do I need to build it? Would it make me more attractive? I don't know. And then like, why don't I just chew gum? That guy's fighting for his life in his comments. I've seen it. Oh, I'm sure he's double it down. He'll post of him doing it or whatever. And then all the comments are like, because in the video, it talks about define your jaw. And it shows like a picture of a guy like that, looking kind of like this. And the next picture, he's fucking just chiseled. And then so people in the comments are like, yo, does this grow your jaw? Like what is this doing? And in his comment, it's like a copy paste. All he says, he's like, what this does is it builds these muscles around the neck. And it's like he won't actually directly say anything. I'm like, bro, you're fucked. Like just stop it. But that engagement's popping. Oh, dude. Yeah, I hate. That's like, like I said, definition of any publicity is good publicity. I want to see the books on it. Yeah, because someone bought it as a joke. They probably made some money. He's got the little fucking necklace, too. So you can just wear it around. So it's like a baba. Like a kid's baba. It's exactly what it is. OK, if it tasted like something. Oh, that might be a thing. Yeah, a little grape chew on. I'd probably do it. Yeah, it comes with the leather straps like this, too. Maybe get a girlfriend and a strong jaw. Yeah, you're going to really get all the girls walking around with that around your neck. That's what I'm saying. If they're into it, what about more? This is a little bit more like not as crazy, but a lot of like big the mouthpiece. Oh, just in general training with the mouthpiece? Yeah, I mean, I think training with a mouthpiece isn't a terrible idea, but they tell you that you freaking like align your jaw down to your neck, down to your spine for ultra power. Danny's got a good take on the mouthpiece. Oh, no. Danny's take on the mouthpiece. I think Danny's more of an optimist than I am in many of these things. No. Remember, we were doing the nose breathing, mouth breathing. You're like, Danny's kind of into it. And I'm like, that was an exception. All right, all right. I just feel like he's an optimist. Danny's got a good take on the mouthpiece. He's like, if you're not squatting 3X or 2X body weight, you shouldn't even be thinking about a mouth. Yeah, yeah, that is the last piece. It's the same idea. What shoes you're wearing, like, dude, learn how to squat. Don't even like, you shouldn't even be thinking about a mouth guard unless you're squatting like 3X or body weight. Unless you have expensive veneers, in which case. Even still, I wouldn't want one. That's like, we're talking about the 0.03% there. Yeah, yeah, and it is cheap. And if it makes you want to work out more, go buy yourself a mouthpiece. But it ain't a line in your jaw to unleash power. All it does is keep you from grinding your teeth together. Or if you're biting, yeah, it feels good sometimes. So I need veneers and squat 3X body weight. And then I get a $20 Under Armour piece. Yay. I'll stick with the ball gag, thanks, though, guys. Honestly, or just buy that and just get 2 for 1. True. I'll try to fit 2 in the back. You call it a superset, dude. You're squatting, draining your legs, and your jaw. How many people have been injured or gotten jaw-related injuries from the T&J and shit? Probably everyone did. Cracked tooth. Oh, that thing's got to absolutely destroy your teeth or probably moving too much in your gums. You ever fucking up? Some lady dislocated her jaw eating a fucking KFC sandwich and had to have a four-hour surgery on her jaw, just because she opened her mouth too wide. Apparently, it's just kind of those things I wish I didn't know. But if you open up your mouth at a certain point, if your jaw comes apart, it's like a six-hour surgery. The hinge in the back's like this. Oh, dude, it's like a nightmare surgery to get your jaw put back together. So humans are not boa constrictors, is what you're saying? Sounds horrible, dude. And it makes me feel like I've gotten close to that point. Dude, I'll bet you have. What were you trying to get in there? A burger. Yeah, what kind of a burger? A KFC burger. The one with the chicken patties instead of bun. I've been there. There's so many gimmicks. We won't name names, but basically, you put a lubricant and then you sweat more. Huh? What? You know. Yeah. Sweet sweat. Well, I wasn't going to name names. Oh, it's all. Here's our first lawsuit. Oh, we can say it with a fucking mouth. Yeah, basically, it's a roller or a lubricant you rub on your body. It makes you sweat more. It's basically like a latex lubricant, or whatever. And sweating is probably healthy for you, yeah. But are you going to lose weight for 10 minutes? Oh, here we go. Here we go. I got one. No, hit it. No, the fucking tummy raps. So that's what this is. Oh, that's what that is. It's the same fucking. No, no, no, no. Same idea, same idea. It's not the same thing, but it is the same company. Yeah, one company or multiple companies will do both of those. You lube up and then you wrap up. Got it. And again, like water weight or like making a weight class for something, sure. But like. Yeah, or you go to Target or you go to Walmart, you go to the back and you buy the top and bottom sweatsuit. Right. That's a, dude, I used to rock that shit at fucking Cal Fit on a bike for no fucking reason. But it does kind of feel good. Yeah, I was telling Cal in my early commercial days, this dude is like shreddy. He's like a Jim Carrey, 10% body fat Jim Carrey bod and out of his mind. And you know, the lead trainer there, and he just like throw things by. I mean, he's actually out of his mind. You know, he's kind of tweaking on me. And he's like, water cutting. I'm like, for what? You know, water weight viscerally like pulls like a skin and like veins are already popping out everywhere. He's like, you know, he's 150 pounds at 6'1". That was me wearing the two. Yeah, I'm like, I was like, yeah man, you're going to die. Or the water is going to come back in two days. So I don't know what you're trying to accomplish. Yeah, I think I saw someone do it or I read some article in Muscle Magazine. Bodybuilders and people do it. For sure. And I was like a high school kid, you know, even like out of college, probably 20 years old, at the gym wearing this fucking thing. Like what am I doing? Yeah. There's a lot of ways we can go about this. Well, there's, because there's supplements left and right, like every supplement. Well, I think the supplement, honestly, I think the supplement I do, we has a totally different, another day to a totally different topic is the gimmick supplement. It's so bad. It's like more like material. Yeah, I got so many stories on it. It's got to be like 97% of the shit in there besides like the creatine is useless. Or the caffeine. But going back to caffeine. Sure. Creatine. Maybe glucosamine. Yeah, yeah. The thing with like equipment, equipment too, is everyone like tries to reinvent the wheel even to this day when knowledge is everywhere. But like, why do you think the barbell is a staple in every sport and every gym? Because that's a gimmick someone made up 100 years ago that still works. Or a dumbbell. The dumbbell. The kettlebell. And even that, like you can kind of exchange a kettlebell and a dumbbell. Can you do slightly different stuff? Sure. But it's not that, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. It's a more convenient version. So why are we trying to do all this stuff? A cable. Oh, you get slightly different stimulus from a cable. Okay. Money. That's about all we got. Yeah. Yeah. Actually flip the whole thing around is like how many things do you need? And we're talking about a whole category of things that people just don't need. Not all of it. Do I need something to hold away from you to do curls? Right. No. Well, and then like what's the idea? Like do you actually? I can hold the dumbbell. It sounds stupid, but if you look like a cellular level, like we can only replicate or grow or shrink a certain amount. You can't really speed that up without a lot of needles. And so like what do you think externally, a barbell versus a dumbbell versus something that holds a barbell or a dumbbell, that's gonna accelerate the cellular process that's going on in my body? No. Yeah. Like that's insane when you say it like that, but no one thinks that. No man, I heard dumbbells are way better because of the stabilization. So I'm only doing my chest press with my dumbbells instead of barbells. And then all of a sudden you're gonna get bigger pecs. Like that, it doesn't work that way. The human body don't work that way. It doesn't know that you're using a different equipment. It just knows like what muscles are moving and under what stress. Yeah, did you put some blood in that area or not? Like it's not gonna speed up the process. Yeah, yeah, you're not getting jacked. Yeah, you can't speed up your hair process. Like maybe eat a certain amount of protein but eat an extra protein ain't gonna grow your hair. Okay, what about the Dharma roller? The neck cage for like stressing the neck. I think there's something there. I don't think there's something there for the regular gym bro, but there's probably something there for the wrestler, Jiu-Jitsu. It will build muscle, because it is resistance. Right, inner traps and there's muscles in everything we do. That's like the fringe of gimmick. That's like the gimmick fringe. Yeah, less people need it than they think they need it. Because I remember at the old school, even the regular commercial gym, there'd be like some old school cat with like a cut off hoodie. We didn't talk about that in our fashion. I love those. And he's just doing neck all day. Like you're just doing neck all day. They do kind of give it a bad rap day, for sure. So wrestler, and we should also draw the distinction between the things that you do just for variety and then there's all this other bullshit stuff that people do because they think that they're gonna get some kind of leverage, some kind of advantage that you can't get from anything else, which is obviously. The one thing I wanted, I know we're done. No, you're gone. Which is crazy to me, because like as kids for all of us, icing after you're done doing some physical activity. Even icing for injuries is crazy. Yeah, I didn't realize that was blown up in my face. No, everyone. Everything I read, I was just like, yo, why? That's right, if it's muscular or tendon, right? Yeah, but even that, like the inflammation your body has, it's like a detox to me. So your body has livers and kidneys to detox your body internally. We also have systems to build, to fight inflammation. Inflammation is part of the process to rebuild. So why are you trying to accelerate something that you did on purpose? Your body will handle it. Yeah, it's pretty kind of great. The cool gimmick though, which ever you think- Go listen to 50% Facts with Andy Galpin if you guys want the science behind it. I'm gonna have to go check that out. You would think it's complete bullshit is the muscle constriction bands or whatever. No, those are legit. In your head, when you see it on paper, you're like, oh, that's such bullshit. That's the best gimmick that's come out that's legit as shit. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, but you have to use them, right? You know what I'm talking about, right? The bands? Yeah, BFR, BFR training. Shout out to Jeremy Lenike at Oklahoma did all the research on that and it's as legit as you get. Dude, it's sick. Which bands are we talking about? The blood flow restrictions? Cut. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, I think we all agree that nobody needs an upper body support.
