Yeah Choose there Actually are going public today. Wow, so I believe it was today. I know this week They were going public. Well, so far my all my my public choices of companies have crushed Even the ones that you've picked that you didn't invest in that I did That one time I lost tens of thousands Adam comes into work. He's like dude. We have to invest in this company. It's freaking gonna explode But I'm like, you know what dude? I'm like, I think you're right. So I did that day Adam never did They were like at 70 bucks. I think like 600 now. Oh weird some news report came out that one stings man I know either when you guys jump on the weed maps one afterwards. Yes, no, I'm not I'm keeping my slow to advice I'm keeping you know what I'll speaking of investments and by the way, I have a fructose study I have a study that's on on fructose and fat gain So remind me don't that I go to it and those of you watching tune in keep watching But I want to talk about one of the company. So a lot of our audiences that know that we've now started investing in Companies as early investors. Yeah, this is just part of our strategy as mine pump for a couple different reasons One we want to put our money where our mouth is so when we say a company Doing something that aligns with our values Integrity we like and we we want to be a part of it and also of course as investors It's smart and we invested in this company called path water that makes and this is actually quite brilliant. It's these are reusable refillable Aluminum based bottles, but you buy the water and it costs like as much as a normal bottle of water Yeah, so it's like fully recyclable and refillable and they have all these like contracts with the schools and airports and stuff So really interesting stuff. You know my kids school uses these they can white label. Oh, they are at his school, huh? That's how that's that's how I recognized it because my son's been using the same bottle now for like a year And when I saw the arrow, I'm like wait a minute. That's that they do it at my son's school. Yeah, they're everywhere. Yeah, really cool. So Fructose they did a study on fructose showing that consuming fructose increases the guts ability To absorb nutrients. Okay, so so increases the ability. Yeah, like positively, right? So this is Good or bad, right? Good if you need to increase your absorption of calories Let's say if you have maybe issues absorbing calories bad if you're dealing with obesity and stuff because it increases the amount of calories that you actually store and use so this is one more kind of study that's tying fructose to Issues with obesity potentially and fructose is something that we consume a lot of Now that well now that it's been a while now that you look at like You know drinks and foods that have added sugar It's typically high fructose corn syrup. That's added to those things. Is it still that way? I thought that was slowly starting to shift There seems to be a bit of a market for like real sugar again, but it's not like it used to be dude It's ever since we subsidized corn It destroyed a lot of you don't know this there were big sugar markets in parts of the US like in Hawaii Hawaii used to grow used to have these huge plantations of sugarcane They were decimated when we started subsidizing corn because it became cheaper for us to process High fructose corn syrup than it was to make sugar So is it just the high fructose corn syrup? That's you know, they're gauging the study off of or Even from fruit right like you know what the you know what it is I don't know people will bring that up about all fruits not unhealthy, which is true The amount of like fresh fruit that you would have to eat to equal the fructose. Yeah for concentration wise Yeah, dude, that's the issue even with sugar I was that statistic you brought up a long time ago, but like how like how many? Oh six feet six feet of sugarcane is what you'd have to chew six feet of sugarcane to equal like which is like bark The amount of sugar that's in one one can of soda. Yeah, so I mean sugar appears in nature But it's really hard to find it in those concentrations like you know how hard it would be to find 50 grams of sugar in nature. I think you're only only what honey. What is it? Yes? That's fructose. That would be the only way to do it and then you'd have to fight bees And climb shit to get to it You know you guys know that we waste like 40% of our fruit Do you know that that we throw away almost half of our fruit? I know it was a lot I didn't know it was that high. I saw that Jackie sent over that article in that company. Do you guys see that? Oh, yeah appeal and I was reading that they'll say I like a two billion dollar valuation, right? This company's like exploding right now and they've come up with a plant-based Like sounds like a spray that layers over the fruits and vegetables that increases its life expectancy by like double and It allows it to breathe oxygen to get it out But it holds in moisture. Yeah, and it's supposed to extend the life by double and sealed preservative I don't you know what's weird So I'm reading the article and I was telling Sal about this and you know they say it's plant-based, but so is tobacco Okay, yeah, right plant-based breathing alternative to vaping, right? So I'm wondering how much of it is like genetically modified in order, you know, what else is inside it I know it's plant-based, but what else is in it to be able to do that? That's a good question And so that it makes me wonder like okay, well because if it was organic in all natural They would have said that the article I mean they would promote that for sure now that being said I'm pro at no matter what because we're throwing away half of our fruit and Vegetables and there's people that are still starving Simply by extending the life by double I would assume that we could cut that number in half right you bring up a great point because first off plant-based Arsenic is plant-based too. So that doesn't necessarily mean you're okay So that's a good point, but the second point you made a lot of people don't know this but people think that that Food production is the issue when it comes to feeding people. It's not its distribution. It's markets It's making them more efficient because we grow enough food We actually throw away enough food to feed a lot of the starving people in the world Like you said 40% of fresh fruits and vegetables are thrown away, right? And if you could minimize that I mean if let's say we brought it down to you know, 10% the cost of food would drop Considerably especially fresh foods with and the reason why processed foods are so cheap part of the reason why they're so cheap is they Don't have that issue right I could ship a box of cheez-its Across the world and it could take a week it could take months and it would be fine Yeah, you can't do that with apples or you know tomatoes or anything like that I thought I read a stat and check me dug on this because I don't know if this is right that One in nine people are starving. Is that that sounds so high. Hmm. Is it world? Yeah Worldwide is that true? No, that's gone down a lot. No, I know it's gotten a lot better worse countries now I would wonder the worst with starvation in terms of like yeah hunger problems. Well, China really reduced their Starvation quite a bit in the 20th so that is probably eight point nine percent That's about eight. That's about nine percent, right? Yeah, pretty close now one and nine You should see you should look up Wow what percentage of people are below the whatever the I forgot what this the standard Us was for poverty worldwide But it dropped like 80% in the 20th century like we made such a huge dent in that Because of the opening up of markets. That's on that one website. You always talk about right the human progress. Yeah We'll talk about website huge Reduction used to be a big big big. Well, imagine. I mean a company. That's why I think this company is gonna do well, right? I mean Regardless if it's GMO or not if you could double the life expectancy of fruits and vegetables worth throwing away 40% 9% of the world is starving. I mean you got to think that that's kind of dramatically Impact that I mean just by being able to preserve that and give it to them instead of throwing it away So be very interesting to see what what kind of dent that can make and I know I throw away I you know, Jessica and I talked about this all time We ended up throwing away a lot because you'll buy it Yeah, and unless you shop every day, which is another option is to buy just what you eat that day Which is kind of a pain in the butt But if you shop like once or twice a week and you know get a bunch of asparagus and avocados and whatever in the fridge You know, it's every week. I go in there. Oh get the asparagus. Oh, I went bad Take off like for a weekend or something. Yeah, it's just like yeah, it gets it gets bad I wonder if companies like Instacart have improved that though, right? So like I don't know about you guys But ever and it was after COVID that because we never used to really do the whole Instacart thing I always used to go to the grocery store now it is Very rare that we go to the grocery store and it's almost daily Katrina has stuff sent to the house What's that? What's the feed look like with that? I know obviously there's a fee Yeah, there is but I mean guy when you when you think about the time and gas that it costs to go do that like the It's not I would have thought it was a lot more than what it really is. It's it's it's really insignificant It's not a big it's not a big no now Mind you if you're somebody who is who is that tracking every, you know, 50 cents to dollar You know that you spend extras with that then it's probably cheaper for you to drive yourself the grocery store But when you factor in things like waste like that's one of the reasons why we do it so much now have it come Yeah So we just buy a little amounts of fruits and vegetables and and that way in the past you go to Costco or you go places And like your your point you're bringing up is you buy in bulk and then oh so we change one night We decided to go out to dinner and we change our mind that was the night We were gonna cook this meal and then now it's bad three days later What you know I'm saying so we do this whole you know from the local farms and they give you like options of what you know you can select in terms of vegetables and fruit and eggs and bread and stuff like that and but it's just like you have to consume it because it'll It'll perish within a few days So we're just always like in this mad rush to kind of consume this stuff But the we were talking about this too since we're moving again. I think we're gonna bring the chickens back Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, the chickens are coming back. You know why I was a pain was because just We wanted to get them out with more space because it won't be more free range and they could go Yeah, your property now let out for yeah, I couldn't like contain it You know, they were just all over the place and I'd be chasing them and neighbors yards and They would just take off. So now it's like we can have like a bigger kind of a Coupe for them and and be able to manage it better now. What about like because where you're gonna be living You're up in the hills or whatever the mountains aren't they're gonna be like Animals that won't you know mountain lions coyotes. Yeah, and yeah, even Raccoons, I think I don't know if they each but you put them up at night, right? Yeah. Yeah, they'll go in there Oh, that's what you do. Yeah, you put them in the house. You let them roam early in there Yeah, and you close their hen in house. Oh, okay close the house and then the outside has the Cajun or you get a badass rooster those things are Rooster saves you from a fox Yeah, I don't know man, I mean we might just end up with a bunch of you know oft chickens Actually wasn't there that is maybe I'm tripping isn't there like this breed of rooster That's huge. Am I tripping was there a rooster once that we saw in an article that was that was just like do you know I think like reds are like one of the bigger bigger bigger one. It was a big-ass rooster. Oh, I'm sure Yeah, what are the biggest chickens? Yeah, I don't know what? Specific breed that is now the rooster when it lives with your chickens. He bangs him in shit all the time, right? Makes eggs and stuff. Well, yeah, that's we can't have yeah, I don't know I guess I don't know how that works because What I've Understood with that is like you just you want them to just be producing so I don't know if the rooster helps That process or yeah starts to fertilize. He's when it fertilizes the eggs and then we'll turn it into baby Like eggs you cook you don't want that. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah, that's your clip is nuts or something I don't know how that works. Well, I mean, okay, so I don't know anything about this. I'm just speculating By the way, it's called the Brahmas. That's a pretty big ass. It's a 30 inch tall. It's a big cock. That's a huge No, I'm talking about the rooster. Yeah, the other thing that Doug has up on the picture Brahma cock. So here's my Speculation so wouldn't the rooster be more likely to protect the hens if he's banging them I mean, I feel like it right based on what I've seen in animal behavior I don't think though. He's much of a protector from the animals that kill chickens You need a lot of roosters, huh? How many roosters would it take to stop a fox? Yeah, we take a massive cock to be able to stop the vicious cock. I mean real nasty one I just don't think it's gonna work out. Hey, I don't think so. We're 12 basically this whole conversation Extended so that we could say cock a few times Yeah, you know, I got DMs of well the young the youngsters that follow and listen to us that we're teasing the shit out of me and us for the our online dating conversation Oh, yeah, like oh my god, listen you guys talk about online day like listen my dad No clue on how it works like aren't they're like tubes Push a button or something like that. I mean, how do you I remember one time? This is a while ago. I have brought this up a couple times talk to a girl in person be a man Dude, I hope I hope my dad never hears this but he was Missable back on my brother was living there and my dad goes in there at it's like like 2 a.m Knocks up my brother's door. I was like what and he goes. I need your help How do I take this off and my dad had a row in a comment on Facebook cuz he didn't know how to use search You know, he's transferred and it said porn Dad that's Google you're supposed to do that not Facebook. How do I take this off? My brother's like, oh shit. It's gonna add a you in front of there. He called me up But he goes dude dad at the end dad look we have a 2 a.m. to ask me how to take this off Facebook It's hilarious anyway Hey, you know, I had a great car. This is a great conversation. I have you guys so I was talking with my kids on the way to school this morning and We're talking about my son I'm about to get him driving lessons because he just turned 16. He's got his permit, right? So he'll be driving soon my daughter is gonna turn 12 this year And so she's like, oh, you know, yeah, it'll be cool when I drive and I'm like And then she's like what it's gonna be like when you know a radius You know my my nine-month-old when he drives. I'm like, you know, I wonder if by that point I'll be 16 years from now essentially, right? I wonder if Self-driving cars will be the norm at that point And if it's really not gonna be people getting too many driver's licenses And then we were talking about what it's gonna be like 30 years from now and this is a just a brilliant My bro, my son said this I thought this is absolutely brilliant. He goes, you know in 30 years We're gonna be talking to you know our grandkids and our kids. We'll be talking about how crazy we were To drive around yeah half-ton machines. Yeah under our control like oh my god Can you believe grandpa used to drive around in this half-ton killing machine it with all these people driving? Did you I thought that was such a good Did you see so on Richard Branson's like Instagram? He showed the hyper loop that virgin has come up with and like their prototype and everything and so it's It's basically that high-speed rail with which has you know the frictionless like electromagnetic You know track where they have these pods that basically are like our high speed that they're on tracks that are gonna be Oh, wow, they're they're planning on like moving that through all Basically where you'd have freeways, so you just step in and then it it takes off Yeah, like super super fast percentage wise are are more people living than dying So not dolly or dolly amount of people but the percentage so as things we get safer Okay, so what you're what you're alluding to right now Had over the last let's say four or five decades has that dramatically drop. Yeah. Oh, yeah But the population overpopulation. Well, no, that's okay. So that's a huge like everybody's I oh my god First of all we have way more than enough resources land and whatever it's but Population growth has been shown in developed nations to slow down and then eventually Yeah, it has become as people sort of self-regulates, but according to the Georgia stones We should be at half a half a billion. Okay. What's what's wide? Okay, so what's a Georgia stone? So this is weird I didn't know about this. Yeah, it looks like a stonehenge, but it's in Georgia and People have had their own conspiracies around it a bit being like sort of part of New World Order stuff and you know the globalist Stuff out there, but yeah has all these like sort of guidelines for humanity You know to achieve and so one of them was like Maintaining a population of five hundred million. Well, we already That's just I mean those are some major cities, you know like around the world What are some of the other things on the Georgia stones to oh, yeah, pull those up Yeah, some of them actually sound like Feasible like they sound like good ideas and then they just like kind of cram in some Like everybody should there's gonna be a new language There should be a new I mean, I'm so lost here. What this is they tell me it looks like is it looks like Stonehenge Yeah, and they're carved in with how long has it been here like has it been there a long time? Yeah, Doug you need to read off. Yeah, so they put it up there in 1979 I don't think they know who did it. Yeah, there's ten guidelines eight in eight modern languages and four dead ones Carved onto the slab with Babylonian right. Yeah, so there's ten of them the first one being maintain Humanity under a half a billion people in perpetual balance with nature Second one is guide reproduction wisely improving fitness and diversity number three unite humanity with a living new language for rule passion faith tradition in all things with tempered reason Number five protect people in nations with fair laws and just courts Number six let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court Number seven avoid petty laws and useless officials. I'm behind that one Balance personal rights with social duties nine prize truth beauty love seeking harmony with the infinite and number ten Be not a cancer on the earth leave room for nature leave room for nature This sounds like this sounds like a couple. Is it 1979 1979 couple college students get high We should go create our own ten commandments. Yeah, this is a very expensive project though. It's massive Oh, is it I want to see it. I'm trying to get it up. It's not casting. It's like so is it like Stonehenge size Is that what how big it is or it looks like it? Yeah, it's like five or six huge slabs and then one on top There's a there's a lot of code in there If so it sounds good, but there's a lot of code that I could see why people would be like, I don't know Like it's under it's under the impression that everybody in the world has to subscribe to the same sort of Ideas under the same language under the same, you know ruling. It's very much one world order Yeah, so, you know, that's why wow, it's massive. Oh, yeah, look at that Wait a second. So this happened in 1979 I mean we've got cameras and we've got all kind of stuff and a project like that Which looks like it probably took months and nobody knows Brains and things to get that up there and nobody nobody knows well My guess is they made them carve them someplace else and is brought them here and set them up Yeah, but you don't know who did that. Why yeah, I don't know why it's yeah to a group of people, right for clear That's kind of cool. It is kind of cool. Yeah, that is very interesting massive Yeah, but I mean what do you guys think about what you know like that conversation I had with my kid about because if you think about it That is a very That's a realistically Well, a lot of people died a lot of people dying car. It's such a feasible thing to say in 30 to 40 years It would in looking back you would 100% be like, oh my gosh people were crazy Well, I don't think it's I don't that's a weird conversation all because you think our parents It was very common practice to be on the freeway and be in the back of a pickup truck Yeah, you know say like driving driving places or driving vehicles that have no seat belts Like there's a lot of things that were yeah I mean what this pandemic has taught me is just you all you got to do is hyper focus on one thing that could Potentially kill you and everybody's gonna freak out. Oh, yeah No, even if it's minuscule it doesn't matter if it's like if if slipping in the shower has killed somebody like we could just focus on that Dude, my grandfather turned 90 right recently. This is exactly what he says. He goes he goes, you know, everybody's so scared Everybody so he goes man. I was 12 years old I used to climb I used to sneak on trains and I'd go to and have to sleep in other towns Just to find ways to feed myself and help my family He's like I came to Venezuela left your grandmother in Sicily because we had no money I didn't know anybody over there went to a country I just speak the language Figured out how to make money to send it back It goes I slept on the floor with cockroaches and rats and he's like tuberculosis was all over the place He goes there were the you know, we had World War two he goes You know, I remember American soldiers, you know coming through Sicily to you know to go through Italy and he goes You know, it's and he goes and then my grandfather had a way worse and scarier than I did and I'm like, yeah You know, he makes a very good point. It's like we're so easily afraid That doesn't mean that there isn't like validity and the stuff that might hurt us or whatever. It's definitely valid Yeah, but what was it? Who is it Winston Churchill? What did he say? There's nothing to fear but fear itself And I think that there's a lot of truth in that water What are the top five to ten ways people die right now related to health that aren't like cancer like oh I like car accidents murders like Falling off a cliff like what a suicide like what are the top five to ten ways people die that are not health related You have any idea? I think car accidents has got to be one of those. Especially if you're young if you're a young driver It's pretty bad. It's a pretty it's a it's top killer suicide is now pretty oh, sorry Franklin D. Roosevelt said that can't believe I got that wrong, but anyway, that's uh, you know, I believe that Well, I want to see my thing Doug Can you find that how people the top top ten ways not non-health related people die Oh, you just look up the top the top top 20 ways people die and then we can see well I have a feeling I'm gonna be health at least you know, yeah, I get you cancer obesity heart disease Yeah, you're gonna have all those. Wow. Look at that. So it goes accidents stroke. So accidents is three So hundred and sixty thousand deaths a year see all the rest are all health related So I don't want to see I want to see things that like that we and why I'm asking is because I'm trying to think of obviously that would be a Huge yeah, accidents. Wow is number three That's a big one. Yeah, again, especially if you're if you're young when you're driving But I'm sure that they count other accidents too like falling off of a Ladder or right, you know suicides up there suicide number 10 suicide's gone up a lot recently. I don't know if you guys knew that What is that? Septicemia is that it's up to us. I think yes when you get septic. It's like you like a bacteria Blood poisoning blood poisoning. Oh, yeah, it overcomes your body Chronic liver disease is number 12. I mean You know and it's funny again having this conversation with my son that led us to talk about You know fear and all that stuff and I said, you know Our ancestors had to make crazy decisions like they had to they were they'd had to ask themselves All right, like here's our choices Either we stay here and starve or I go out of the cave where all the sable tooth lions are and even the animal I'm going to try and kill might kill me So I got to make that choice or we stay in here and then we're a hundred percent guaranteed You know to die and then you know, we talked more about fear and I said, you know, it's weird when people are scared We allow some of the craziest Those type of decisions are so easy though. It's survive or don't survive. We're it's so much more nuanced today They are options. I mean your your point I get it where you're going with it But it's so different like today like we have so many luxuries today that we I mean even when we talk about this other day like just the fact that you have the option to be a vegan is a Total luxury that we you didn't have 300 years ago No, so and so when you have these these people to get all scared and then you make a point like oh the Decisions that we made that were way scarier back then. Well, they also didn't have all the options here I'll make it more recent. Okay, all of us were we were all in our 20s when September 11th happened And I vividly remember the fear that was spread across the country and the free world and That led us to Invading a country that had nothing to do with September 11th. So we got in a war with Iraq We occupied a country Afghanistan. We just recently left. So we're there for decades. Yep We passed the Patriot Act which literally says they could read your shit go through your stuff spy on you with no warrant We passed non-defense authorization act, which allows them to jail you indefinitely Without without just by labeling you a terrorist like without any no course involved So and because we're afraid we were scared of terrorists and they and this is what happens when we get scared We let that people do stuff and pass things that we normally wouldn't all under the guise of oh It's gonna keep us safe. That's all political strategy, right? I mean, what's that? What's that saying? Crisis go to waste or whatever totally. Yeah, I mean that's what that is. Yeah, it's a hundred percent follow the money That's why we got to be careful because it's easy. And look I tell you what historically The freer nations that protect people's liberties. So freer means more risks and stuff, right? They fare better people live better. They tend to not get killed as often. They tend to be safer So this false like belief that if we just you know control more people and pass more crazy laws will be safer Doesn't work that way. I mean, you know, you could live in a country with crazy laws There's a lot of them that exists in the world. You're not gonna be safer. I could tell you that much right now Then you will be probably In you know more free places done with my rant I'll tell you I'll tell you that was scary that happened to me last night When was the last time that you guys had like a limb fall asleep and it fell asleep so bad that it took like Two minutes for the blood to get back in there and you feel it So my arm so you I mean I talked the other day about how I've got the you know The long COVID thing going on where I'm like just exhausted and I'm I have like shortness of breath and so my My my best friend his wife is a Respiratory therapist right and so she's given me all the all these different advice Well, one of the things she tells me to do is to sleep on my stomach and I sleep I'm a back sleeper So I never sleep on my stomach. I just can't so I'm like trying to do it I part of it too is I don't know if it's my feet are so big that when I lay flat it like hurts my ankles So I got hang my feet off feet over the bed like so now put a pillow under your ankle so or that yeah Yeah, or that but then that kind of like arches my low back and it doesn't feel as comfortable So the move is still under your tummy. Yeah So anyway, so I'm like trying to do that right so I because Katrina told me that night I was like whistling while I was breathing and it woke woke her up woke me up so I'm like trying to fall I fell asleep on my stomach and I fell asleep with my arm and my shoulder underneath bro, and I You know, I I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't move it at all because it's completely sleep So I got to use the other arm to push and roll over and remember it's okay It's like two in the morning. It's pitch black flopping So I roll hard and when I roll hard it's so limp But I can't feel it it slaps me in the face And then I freak out because all I can't see anything I can't feel it and also I feel something slapping me in the face So my other arm is I have no idea how Katrina didn't wake up in the middle night because I freaked the fuck out dude because I Don't know realize what it is until I grab it with the other hand and throw it off And then when I go to throw it off because I have no control I hyper extend my elbow When that happens That's the real stranger that's the stranger you missed out You had two minutes of a stranger So I've got you know, you have little times where your hand falls asleep like this But I mean it was so bad that like I've done that before it was like took like two minutes There's a little bit of fear that creeps here. I've done that second It's gonna come back. I've done that before and I had to pick up my arm with my other arm in order to move it It is a creepy Yeah, especially when you're half asleep, right? Yeah, I did this dude and when I threw it I had no controls what whack in a hyper extended it'll hurt so bad So that happened to me years ago and and I picked up my arm and then dropped it and I hit my my ex-wife With my hand and she's like, wow, what would happen like no, it was my my hand fell asleep. That was my excuse at least I Was just thinking all night You know what I'll tell her I'll tell her I fell asleep. Oh, it's my arm. It's weird. Yeah back to kind of you brought up Wars and whatnot like so I found a fun fact that I'm a big Star Wars geek and I did not know this When they were filming a new hope Back in the day They're filling in Tun Tun Sonia, I don't know how to pronounce the country. Tunisia Tunisia and So it's like all desert and it's basically where they had The Sandcrawler so the Sandcrawler was there with the Jawas the Jawas were yeah So that was that whole scene where it was kind of like crawling in the desert It's this big like military looking object that was going so apparently they're doing it near the border of Libya And it almost started a war Because they were like like thinking that they're mobilizing their military It's so like George Lucas was like, you know had to had to like this was a new hope Which one's new hope? It's the very first one that they released number four, but yeah, okay wait No, so it's in the timelines number four, but it's the first one they released the first new one they released Not the very first Star Wars. Thank you. I'm just confused the shit It was the first one they released number That's because the very first Star Wars is actually jumps you in because they did three prequels later on yeah, okay So in the timeline of movies, it's number four, but it's the one with the original one right with Luke Skywalker Very first one ever produced is this yeah He starts a whole war over this like He's like keep the cameras rolling. Yeah, let's go real firepower. It's I watched reminds me I watched Tropic Thunder with my son You know So you know what's funny, so I'm watching this with my son so inappropriate So yeah, okay, and my son's obviously he's 16 right and we're watching it and he goes Did he just put on blackface? I'm like he did yeah, and he's the only actor that never got canceled over it Like Robert Downey, Jr. Yeah legit did blackface in that movie. Yeah, and maybe because it's a comedy I don't know but nobody ever gave him any shit over it and it wasn't that long ago They talked about it a little bit when he was on It did get a little bit of controversy, but it didn't go very little very far. Yeah, yeah, I don't I don't that's a good question I don't know why it didn't mean it was all satire obviously, but maybe then I don't know how he made it through Yeah, cuz everybody else got completely lambasted. Oh, yeah. Oh, I mean who knows they don't there's no like That was right after he was making his comeback to wasn't that one of his first two that when he got back What was his first one? Iron Man Iron Man. That was his first one back. Yeah, he did Iron Man and then Sherlock Holmes and yeah, that came later. I think yeah. Yeah, I think after choppy. Yeah Chopper Thunder was like one at least one of his first two or three when he first got back So, you know who was brilliant in Tropic Thunder? Brilliant brilliant brilliant Tom Cruise Okay flaming dragon fuckface first take a big step back and literally That oh, yeah, oh, yeah, so good. He should do more comedies did he was he was a natural Oh, we were we were on the ground my son doesn't have a lot of comedies, huh? No No, he doesn't action movies. That's a really good point I'm sure all the movies Tom Cruise has been like that's the only one I can think off top of my head that he's a He does like a you know satire or what arguably his best role I would say the second hilarious. It was good It was so good was brilliant and the second his second best role I'll say was born on the 4th of July I think what was pretty good and then what's your favorite movie that one that you talk about all time I don't know that what's what born on 4th of July? No, I like Top Gun. I mean, that's that's heavy. What's your what's that movie you talk about all time that you love good men Okay, that I think that was one of his best really yeah that the firm Okay, the both those two are really but all those are all serious. Well, I'm trying I'm trying to rack my brain around I can't believe he hasn't done a too many comedies That must be intentional right that you got to be you want to be the serious guy and you must tell your age You're like, I don't want to take any funny movies. Yeah, I'm a serious guy You know Robert Downey Junior got nominated for best supporting actor for his role in Tropic Thunder. Wow That's just like the opposite you would imagine pick and choose man It's a pick and choose that was a different world back then too not that long ago and you know what there's no listen The cancel mob. There's no statute of limitations like oh, yeah They could easily gone back and like you're canceled because there's probably a reason behind why they didn't I bet you can look it up Cuz it is it is strange They didn't if he comes out and says a particular political stance. I guarantee and that's probably what it is He's probably just yeah able to move right past it. You know just because he hasn't been super Political about anything they disagree with very smart. Yeah, very smart business. Anyway speaking of smart business Did you guys crack open your gold juice your pumpkin spice? Oh, no, I haven't opened it up yet Did you take it last night? So good. We I know we got a major lattes yet. That's how I like dude You warm stock up. It's gonna we're gonna sell out. They always sell always the warm almond milk. You mix it in there Oh, man, put your little ugg boots on too. No He had a shawl. I just picked you actually bought a shawl Fluffy socks. Yeah, who is most likely to wear ugg boots in here out of us. Yeah, you you did I would not wear Yeah, but I would not wear He would make the argument that these things are fucking comfortable. I mean he'd make a scientific back study behind it for sure Do it because he would back up how comfortable it. No, okay, I would not and here's why How much does a pair of a boost cost? Okay, so I'd probably get like pug or something like a friend Even worse you would wear a generic That's a good point. You're right. You wouldn't spend a hundred dollars, but you would spend 20 and if they look just like it You're like, whatever. Yeah, I would comfortable, you know, and I'd come in here and be like, dude, they feel exactly That's a great point. You would not you and that's not made with what's the fur that they use was that was it? I'll pack a fur. No, this is bison fur, bro. It's even better. I Wonder I wonder if Britney Spears gets like royalties for that. I mean she literally put them on the map I know if it wasn't for her. I don't even know if it would have been about my wife a pair Oh, that's where it came from. Oh Katrina loves them. She's got like three or four pairs. Yeah, really? Yeah That's like her. She doesn't wear them out at least not anymore Maybe she did like ten years ago or whatever, but she loves they're comfortable They're easy to slide in and out of she keeps you know like those slippers that have that same feel Do you guys wear shoes in the house or do you guys walk around like do you take your shoes off when you come in? I take them off, but if it's cold, I'll put some slippers on Yeah, me neither, you know, I grew up wearing shoes in the house. Oh, I did we always wore shoes in the house and And I had a friend that always took their shoes off. I thought they were weird and I remember we you know He brought it up. Well, I brought it up once because we were good friends So I tease him about it and he goes dude you walk around in public bathrooms Outside all over the freaking place then you walk around in your house and I'm like, oh shit Yeah, that makes perfect sense. So then I was it I stopped wearing shoes in the house Yeah, I just think it keeps it down Especially if you have light colors like so my house is all you know light gray and white and you track Oh, yeah, now what do you do when you have guests over you make them take their shoes off Yeah, I normally ask my guests to take them off. We have a sign at the door It says shoes same here now. Have you guys had this happen where I'll tell somebody to take their shoes off? Oh, you know, please take your shoes off or whatever and then I see the look on their face. They're like, oh fuck I got this motherfucker. I got fucked up socks on I got a hole my big toe that happened. I had a buddy over and I'm like, oh you got to take your shoes off I don't we don't make a big deal about I do make a big deal at our truckie house though because it's ours Yeah, because it's our all of ours. So we're respectful. I'm way more Anal about it someone walks in and they do that get hella pissed Yeah, but if it's at my house and like I did signs there. I'm not in them Like I just kind of expect you to pick up on it that happened to me when I was in security to get through a Baggage or whatever for like at the airport. It's a holy sauce. I had had a big hole on one of them And they're two different socks, you know, and I'm just like whatever is like early and I just put them on And oh, no, dude, it was so bad my two toes are sticking out This is like short here and then long here Like I was looking like a blanket. That's a bomb pet peeve Katrina He always gets on to me if I have a like even the small as soon as it gets a small hole She'll throw them away and I'm like you can't throw them away until you replace them That's the deal. Yeah, you got to let me at least rock them until you get another package behind them What now what okay? You said you're anal about something Jessica use that term the other day, too I want to know the roots of that anal anal retentive, right? But what okay? So you're like tight like it's tight like you're so tight couldn't like that saying you're so tight Couldn't fit a grease BB up your ass. Wow. I think it comes from Freud Yeah, anal retentive, right? It's not is not where it comes from. Okay. Is that okay now? I thought it meant that there was any initials Freudian. It's Right, I thought it meant that somebody who doesn't they hold their poop for as long as possible I thought that's what it was Am I tripping? Yeah, that's something all right. Maybe Let's clear this up. It's here. Walk around and get your Oh Wow, look at this and under indulge during the period. I knew it Freud posited that children who experience conflicts in which libido energy is under indulge during this period of time and the child's Perhaps too strongly chastised for toilet training accidents may develop anal retentive Fixations or personality. Okay. So break that down. So I mean, I knew it was anal retentive is where it came from So anal retentive means that they're trying to hold their poop. Yes. Oh, they just won't go to the bathroom that I didn't know Yeah, so I know so you're anal, right because you hold in your poop the whole time. Yeah, let it go Let that let that out. How much how much of our stuff comes from Freud do that? You don't even realize everything's about sex with him. Yeah, I mean Yeah, I well I don't say about your mom. It's it's all it's like come on He must have well, it's not like a lot. Not all of it's been disproved I know he's had some things that have been disproved and evolved. There's a lot of things that still hold true That you do you guys know Freud did come complex and all that to all those guys did drugs Yeah, but Freud was a big cokehead like like like wrote about it. Like oh, so the greatest thing ever Well, that used to be that used to be like prescribed. Yeah for a lot of yeah, you know, you know what else was prescribed Coke was prescribed. Yeah, I didn't know that I didn't know that coke and heroin Mm-hmm heroin I knew because it's an opiate. So I knew it was like a pain thing Oh, yeah, so that's what a lot of what Lottium or Lottum came from right a lot is Doug. Come on Lottom I don't know about that but I do say it wrong. I do know that you used to be able to go to a pharmacy and You could get a bottle of something and it would have cocaine in it And oxy cotton is basically a pill form of heroin. Yeah, so it's just time released. Yeah. Yeah, so, you know, I know that So you guys know I didn't know coke. I because I did what what is it for use for it would energy? I get that part It would be an elevation the doctor pain. Yeah, like anything kind of discomfort there Oh, it does have numbing properties on numbing properties And methamphetamines were originally sold ready for this to housewives. Oh, yeah, put some pep in your step That's what the campaign that's what the ads. What do you mean? Remember it? I remember it because I see a like all those ridiculous ads They go back and look at nostalgia. It's not like I live through it like done Oh, it's called lot on them. Yeah a mixture of opium and alcohol. Wow, you know what? Let me tell you something right now once every 500 episodes Adam knows some random shit That is really good. That's all to that's a hard word to I'm proud of you. That's really good, dude You don't have the the long COVID brain fog. No, that's working. I don't know That's working real good. So do you guys know what the origins of vibrators are? Yes, I brought this stereo a long time ago. I shared a meme on it like four or five years ago It was for women's hysteria. Yep. Is that what it was for? Yeah, I found there's actually advertisements for it Oh, Larry's so think about okay, how fucked up it was but also also ladies brilliant This was a good time, right? Yeah, so women They used to have it a medical condition that they said women would suffer from cold hysteria, right? That's what the word hysterical. It's like anxiety and stuff, right? That's they use it. I think it's just back then you had 12 kids and Yeah, cuz like they're just driving crazy. Yeah wash your clothes by hand. You had to kill life was really hard I mean by scratch or husband was probably the smartest things they did back then. Yeah, and so yeah, exactly So so all of a sudden there's this uptick in women saying they have hysteria. Where are you going, honey? I got a doctor to treat my hysteria and then hysterical today Oh I feel whoo I might tell you man. I feel so much better relief dr. Smith really fixed my hysteria, but it only lasts 24 hours I gotta go tomorrow Yeah, yeah, we're the doctors, you know sort of you know guiding them with that. Yeah, that's why was that? Yeah, there it is. I've seen this I've seen those right there. Give it give it to her give it You know What was the what was the year? Oh, those are this is not one women they use it this is these are ads for the actual Sausures that they didn't advertise this like sexual tools. She's rubbing it on her neck. Yeah, right here This penis shaped vibrate That's what this is later so this is after it's been you so that's 60 So what is probably the 40s and 50s that it was being? No, no women were not being masturbated in the 40s and 50s by dog It was it was early 1900s or yeah But when they first started doing that yeah, and they were like so when so one of the so one of the was what I'm trying To get at was okay It was being prescribed you're saying in the early 1900s And then because of probably all the relief that it gave women it made its way to over the counter like no I think I think that people were like hold on a second. You're this is not this is Intended uses here so doctor stop doing it, but that's the original vibrator right there on the bottom left Yeah, look at that that thing I think probably strong my god Wonder how many put the put the powers on that but anyway I want to know the I want to know how it went from being prescribed Do you think there was a gap where there was like all sudden so is Doctors are using it then you your theory is that they go okay. This is not lit yet So they stop it goes it's out of no one's using it and then what they did is they marketed as Massager so and if you look at the ads like you know Doug was scrolling through the ads a woman's like holding it on her Neck or on her back like ah so much relief after a tough day, and then it was up to the Socially like that that transition how funny that is like How old are these cartoons this is this is 200 AD really inspecting down there. It's called the genital massage Yeah, oh, so so yeah, the doctor is teaching Wow 1650s just just imagine like the the evolution especially like back then when it first started like you had it Been like large percentage of women that were out if you were getting advertised It is like a massager like that we're getting in there like oh, this is so great You know sitting around that's actually how they were just using it And then one of your girlfriends like hey, you know if you put that on your vagina. It feels way better Right, it's that you know it had to been like that if they didn't go and they weren't talking about it Oh totally or accidentally. Yeah, she's like oh my leg is so huh? Oh On here. Oh my god settings on the shower head, you know, there's one, but you know good stuff You know I'm talking about Real quick.

All right. Enjoy the rest of the show First question is from George. Sammy Lambrou. Can you combine body weight and weight lifting workouts? Yeah? Absolutely, it's all resistance training. You know the the typically exercises done with weights or machines or We're known as open chain Exercises meaning you're moving the limb and the body is stationary, right? So a bench press would be open chain closed chain Would be a push-up right because I'm moving my body away from my hands in a push-up and they both have their benefits These body weight movements give you really good obviously body control body awareness in a type of strength That translates really really well to the real world, you know free weight strength machine strength That also translates to the real world, but typically not in the same way now Let's think of some of the best Free weight exercises that you could do right a barbell squat a barbell squat is actually a closed chain. It's a loaded Body weight exercise because if you take the bar off your back You're just doing standing squats pull-ups another great exercise right dips another great exercise So yeah, it's all resistance training You cannot you can even throw in bands in there and other anything that provides resistance So long as it's done in a way to build muscle can be put in a routine So we we wrote programs that kind of separate this right maps anywhere is like a full body weight type of a programs bands involved But mostly body weight and then like when you look at maps anabolic, it's traditionally all you know basic resistance training program but the truth is most of my lifting career I would I actually blended these and And a lot of it just had to do with like how I felt like I always felt like doing body weight exercises Was good if I kind of like pushed it too far with weights like the previous day or let's say I'm in a hotel and I'm limited to the the equipment that they have and so I kind of would you I would on the fly very similar to how I Intermittently use hit style training. It's just I think it's another tool in your tool belt And I think there's nothing wrong with combining it with half your exercises or traditional weight training And then the other half is body weight or if you're doing super sets I used to love to do like you know a dumbbell or barbell exercise and then go to a body weight exercise right after that I love doing stuff like that. I do like a Closcript bench press or skull crushers with barbells or dumbbell and then go right down the ground and do you know Closcript push-ups, you know and keep your elbows real tight for your triceps Like I love doing stuff like that and a lot of my training I think has always looked at that even though we didn't write a lot of the programs that way because I think when we wrote Programs we were always thinking of not only one of the best ways to program But also for teaching purposes like so we would separate a lot of those things But this is also what we encourage people that have gone through most of our programs is there's nothing that says you can't intertwine a lot of the the different Philosophies in each one of them and and do it that way Do you don't have to follow it to a tee every time same? I used to love combining them for super sets Well, I just like what I like about body weight training is it just keeps you connected to your body Like a lot of times we get outside of our body And don't realize it and we're just sort of like going through the the motions and we're you know utilizing momentum and You know, we're not really being as intentional as possible and body weight training like exposes a lot of that And it is a little more challenging because you have to get creative sometimes to make them more difficult You know in terms of like using angles and gravitational forces and such But yeah, so if in terms of like adding more stress and load, you know weights are superior for that But in terms of being reconnected to your body and being able to brace and and protect your joints And you know, there's just so much value in body weight training that you need to keep that within your programming as much as possible Yeah, well look let's compare two exercises that are similar in terms of the motion But one being body weight one being not body weight, right? So compare for example a pull-up to a lat pull-down. It's the same similar I should say biomechanics But let me tell you you get really strong on a pull-up It feels very different than when you get really strong on a lat pull-down think of another combination or comparison, right? overhead press or handstand push-ups, right? They both have their value, but they both feel very very different like you get really good at handstand push-ups You have a whole different level of control and stability and athleticism and I'll venture to say that Probably the most athletic resistance trained athletes that you'll find when I say athletic I mean just general athleticism can do a lot of different things and display strength in a lot of different ways Has to be gymnast have to be near the top and gymnast do use some weights But mostly what they do is heavy resistance training body weight based exercises and I've worked out with gymnast I've had gymnast that have worked for me I've trained gymnast and you bring them in the gym and you teach them a barbell or dumbbell exercise They get good at it real fast and they get they're strong like right out the gates It's very now they're not as strong as a powerlifter or but the strength that they display For their body weight is just remarkable. So tremendous value And body weight exercises and yeah throw them in your your workouts mix them up. Absolutely Next question is from more life jojo does the intensity of the squeeze or clenching of a muscle matter big time? Definitely big time your intrinsic Application of intensity right so how hard you squeeze the muscle Increases the intensity just like adding weight to the bar wood makes a big difference isometrics are depending on your intensity of contraction If I flex a muscle I can flex it You know have good control or I can really flex it hard And the harder I flex it the more the louder the signal the more potential damage All that stuff. So this makes a huge difference one way you can apply this to your training Well, there's two ways one is to do isometric training in your workout or two Is focus on the squeeze at the top of a movement and really squeeze the muscle hard But I will warn you you're gonna have to go lighter to do this you fatigue real fast when you do this It's not as easy as it sounds. It definitely makes it a lot harder Well, wouldn't it wouldn't a simpler way to kind of explain this be like if I were to Clench my fist very lightly, right? So I'm squeezing my arm right now My brain is firing neurons to my hand right now to in order to do that and let's just say for This example a hundred of them are being fired in order to do that And then just by me simply clenching down as hard as I can I now recruit even more from my brain to there in order to do more muscle fibers Right. So the and I and I'm also training that connection a stronger more More neurological connection to to my fist And if that is training like I loved your analogy that used to give on the podcastle time, which is comparing it to like an amp Right. So your your your central nervous system is like an amplifier to the Speakers your speaker the muscles are the speakers and so you training that amplifier You're getting a a higher wattage a stronger amplifier The better this better and stronger it can get the better that you can recruit muscle and the More likely you are to lift more weight and that goes back to the last question with like gymnast part of the reason Why they're so good is they have great CNS control I mean they have all that body weight training has connected them to their body so well So they have incredible amplifiers Maybe they didn't have big muscles yet because they haven't lifted hundreds and huge squat or deadlifting days But they've trained their bodies so well. They're so well connected They have an incredible amplifier All they need is to plug in some speakers and they're going to get tremendous benefits from it Yeah, and for some reason, you know that concept is hard sometimes to for people to grasp right away of of like You can squeeze harder Uh, just think of it as like if i'm going to grab an object that's lighter versus heavier and and what that all entails Like if i'm going to pick it up And just use the same amount of contraction to pick it up as I would you know the heavier object You're gonna have to squeeze hard. You're gonna have to try hard You have to recruit You know all the way up your arm into your hips and stabilize with your legs like a heavy object that you know requires More force production. So you have to be able to generate, you know more muscle fibers. You have to recruit more You know to be able to pull that off. So you're just sort of simulating that You know on your own So you just have to get in that mindset like I need to squeeze and I need to really you know bear down And uh, and that's going to then transfer to when you do have heavier loads and things to you know account for Next question is from stones and lead How can you tell the difference between fatigue and tiredness? When should or shouldn't you try to push through it? This is a good question because it's a hard one to explain, but I will say this this might help Rarely does Rarely is the answer not Movement sometimes it is But rarely is that the answer now the kind of movement you do this is where there's a big difference So what I do if I feel Fatigued or tired rarely will I not do a workout? but what I will do Is I'll start and I'll go very easy and very light and if it's just me being unmotivated Usually what happens is I start to feel more energy And I start to feel better and then I start to ramp up my workout If I'm actually tired and my body's like literally like really fatigued in a real way The light workout I can tell I do the light workout. I'm moving or I'm just going for a walk. I'm like, oh, yeah I'm definitely tired. I'm going to keep it very easy And it's not bad for you. It's actually quite recuperative. Now if it's the kind of Tiredness or fatigue that you need to not work out. Usually you feel almost ill That's that's my experience where you're like, oh man. I don't I have a headache. I really don't feel good I need to go to bed But usually any movement as long as it's appropriate is it's probably a good idea Do you guys remember the conversation that we had with Dr. Andy Galpin around this? Optimizing versus Yeah, and that stuck with me and and it reminds me of like this question right now And one of the points that he was making was that there's also benefits to Being tired and exhausted and pushing the body still Occasionally, so I think the answer to me for this question is If this is a a once in a while thing, I think there's actually lots of benefits to you know Oh, man, I didn't sleep very well. I'm a little tired. What are that? I'm going to push through and still get after it that every once in a while if this is a Consistent thing that's reoccurring where you're not getting a lot of sleep almost every night and you're constantly pushing the body in the gym Your tires. That's right. So I I think if this is like a one-off where it's just like man Just today. I just don't feel like it like there's I think there's tremendous value in pushing through that But if this is you are consistently tired And feeling fatigued going into workouts Then you probably need to look at your sleep your diet stress and other factors in your life So that's kind of how I try and look at it now is that if this is something that's considered a repeat offender Right versus just one time because I think I want to be careful I or before we had that conversation with Andy Galpin I kind of had more I think the point sows coming from which is hey nothing just take it back off a little bit But then you tell that to a client that is already unmotivated to train and work out And it's kind of like giving them the pass that though you feel tired today Don't don't worry about pushing hard So then they they never stretch their capacity because they got the they got the okay from their trainer that Hey, if you feel a little tired, nothing wrong with like taking it easy So it really depends on who I'm talking to on if they would have value with pushing now Taking the opposite example somebody who is addicted to the gym. They train seven days a week They're always getting after it and then they have a day like that I'm going to lean more towards what sows saying which is hey like back off take it easy like You you're consistent as hell you train hard all the time your body's obviously telling you you're not feeling well Right now with that doesn't hurt to bring up drop the intensity But if it's somebody who has a hard time being even consistent in the gym And they're always looking for an excuse of why they shouldn't lift or why they shouldn't push their body It probably there's probably more value and then pushing through yeah, I've seen both both scenarios And that's a good point to bring up because it's um you sometimes you have to talk Some of your your fanatical gym people off a cliff and be like you need to address this like this is a signal The body that's telling you uh, you know, you're either not getting enough sleep or you know recovering properly Which means like you're really not pushing forward. You're not adapting. You're you're just uh, you know healing and then you know trying to You know keep going and just survival mode Uh versus yeah, like the majority of clients though that we had were The biggest issue was frequency was just to get them in and to just keep going and to know that they could uh They have another operating system even when they aren't feeling up to it that they can pull from so Yeah, it really does depend on the individual adam Because you're you're you're right now experiencing some kind of lingering. It's like two and a half weeks past I'm not sure right, but you're are you also not moving or are you doing? I mean, I move a little bit but to be honest with you. I mean, it's so I'm so fatigued and so tired that it I mean, I was playing uh With the we have like a little fisher price basketball hoop in our house What then I was playing with max you just dunking on him. Yeah Playing around 20 minutes literally and then I like right after it fell on the beanbag passed out Snoring it like three o'clock in the afternoon. So I'm really like I'm definitely feeling the effects of the long covid They call it right so uh, and I'm not and I'm not worried about I'm not training like so I want to you know, I told Katrina last night man I really want to get in and maybe I'll do a little lift tomorrow But I'm so I'm so feeling under the weather that I'm not even thinking about pushing my body right now In fact, I'm more concerned that doing that may send me backwards. I'm not and I know I'm losing muscle I know I'm getting weaker like I know that I'm very aware of that But I'm I'm not allowing that to be my driver of my decision on should I lift or train today or not And so, you know for me go into the grocery store or walk around the block for 15 minutes Is is strenuous enough that it's putting me and knocking me out So thinking that if I go get under a barbell and start squatting even at 30 intensity still is probably too much for me. So Next question is from c greenwood 32 How do you program a balance between performance and aesthetics? You know, it's funny. We get a question like this every week every single week, right? Yeah Okay, here's the thing for most people what I'm going to say is for the average person focus on performance and here's why Focusing on performance is going to give you a great deal of aesthetics And performance is more of an objective measure. So you either get stronger Or you don't either gain more stamina or you don't Aesthetics like define aesthetics define what looks good, you know, it's very it can be very challenging You know, it's very subjective very subjective and people really mess with their own heads Like, you know, someone may lose weight on the scale but lose a lot of muscle But because they're smaller, they're happy like no, no, no, I did a good job I lost weight, you know not not caring about the fact that maybe they lost a lot of muscle because they're so Aesthetically driven in my experience again, this is the average client People who are more performance driven To end up with a greater deal of performance and aesthetics than people who are only aesthetics driven Okay, now there's a caveat here. I think as you become more advanced You've been training for a while You're not going to see regular gains and performance like I'm not gonna I don't expect to see Regular gains and performance anymore with myself. I've been training for so long If I gained five pounds on a lift, that's like a big deal, right? It's not like it was when I first started working out now I can focus more on aesthetics. I have a good performance base I have a kind of healthy relationship with exercise But you know the way I would train clients for most of my well I'd say for that back half of my career when I got really good at it Was I would have them focus on performance and the aesthetics almost always followed Yeah, if you start with that as the foundation, it's just a healthier mindset. That's, you know, more sustainable Um, and I don't I don't think that it's a bad thing to focus on aesthetics And I think that, um, you know, that's Something that can take Uh, you can you can then go from your your hyper focus of performance and then build upon that to now enhance Areas of your body that you want to uh single out and there's a way that's different to train for that And it's beneficial to your body to step out of you know, the performance heavy initiative But the reverse of that to me is just it's it's a lot It's a lot more challenging when um, the driving force is just how you look because again, um, the The psychology of that Is a lot harder to to step away from well, I think uh Why we get this question so often is because there's more than one way to skin account I think that there's there's more than one way to approach this, you know And a lot of that has to depend on what is more of a priority to you Or maybe where you're currently at right now or maybe what you've done in the past Like there's a lot of different factors that may change Exactly what the programming looks but we for people that want this and don't know we created a bundle for this We have a sexy athlete bundle and that's and basically what it is is the it's the combining of maps performance and maps aesthetic together So we've we've taken a lot of the principles from maps aesthetic We've taken a lot of the principles from maps performance And then we've put them together to show you how we would blend the two of them But it doesn't mean it's the only way to go about that and it doesn't necessarily mean it's perfect for every single person But to give you a really good idea of what programming would look like for somebody who Wants to be athletic, but then also cares about how they look. I mean, that's how I would approach it Yeah, it's just I you know, I know when I would I'm sure you guys experience this too when I would train clients You know the average person Works out because of aesthetics like the average person Doesn't think to themselves. I'm going to squat 300 pounds or I'm gonna You know have this particular type of performance. They think I want to round her butt I want to be leaner and what I would do often is I would for example I'd have a female client that wants to you know build her butt and sculpt her legs and you know her back And I would say, okay, here's what we're going to do. I want you to be able to squat 150 pounds For reps. I want you to be able to deadlift, you know a couple reps with over 180 pounds And I want you to be able to hip thrust this much weight Let's just focus on those and then let's see what happens and sure enough They would take their mind off of their aesthetics They focus on the goals that I gave them and then they would hit those goals or in the pursuit of those goals They would gain the aesthetics same thing with guys, you know some guy would hire me and say I want a bigger chest. I want bigger shoulders a bigger back. I want to look, you know, more muscular I'd say, okay, here's what we're going to focus on. I want you to get to a this bench press This overhead press this deadlift this row Don't focus on your looks and let's just see what happens And again, sure enough because their strength went up and they focused on performance They would gain the aesthetics now, of course at some point like I said earlier It then it makes sense to focus on aesthetics is you're not going to always gain strength or performance Linearly but for most people If you're if you go to the gym and you haven't been working out for more than, you know Three or four years consistently you go to the gym and all you're focused on is can I move better? Am I getting stronger? Can I connect to the exercise is better look better too? You're going to look better Yeah, you're just I mean think about it this way if you were fit strong and mobile in your performance How would your body look? Okay now imagine if all you cared about were your looks You didn't care about performance. There's a lot of mistakes you can make there's so many different mistakes you can make So many subjective errors that we tend to have. Oh my god. I I'm a little bloated. Oh, I better crash diets You know he's kind of sneaking. Yeah, so that's why I'm like I tell people to typically focus on performance and the aesthetics will follow Now if you've been training like I said, if you've been training for a long time And you know, you're not again You're not going to get those performance gains like you did when you were first started working out And it makes sense You know you focus on sculpting and connecting and you know You're doing more bodybuilding style workouts because at some point if you always push performance injury rates tend to go up and all that stuff So, uh, you know, so I still stand by that. I think it's it's a good idea for most people to focus on performance Because the aesthetics typically will follow look if you like our information you like the podcast, you'll love mind pump free dot com Head over there.
