I actually watched three movies this weekend that I did not think I would enjoy as much as I did. What's that? Pitch Perfect. Oh. Here you guys go again. It's hella good. You know what? Justin, listen, Justin. I forgot about that movie. Bro. I forgot. It's actually really good. It's hilarious. It is fun. But I promise you it's hilarious. I promise you. I just have to play the guy that's just like, what does that remind you? What's next? The notebook? You know what? It reminds me of the same surprise I got when I watched the Heartbreak Kid with... Oh, I love that movie. Right. You wouldn't think because that looks like a good role. I did not think I would like it. Yeah. That was good too. No, I did not think I would like it. Jessica wanted to watch it. She's brought it up a million times. And so I'm like, alright, let's see what happens. It was hilarious. And I ended up watching the first one. I'm like, I love this. Let's watch the second one. Let's watch the third one. It was really good. Yeah. Whatever, dude. It's fine. I'll get you back. It was funny. It's been a long time since I've watched it, though. The first one was, it's old. 2012. Is that what it was? Yeah. And the second one was 2015 and the third one was like a couple years ago. But it's one of those ones that I don't think I would have thought I would like it. And then you end up... Well, sometimes that's the best, right? When you're like, I don't know. And here, look, I'll tell you what, I'm going to be honest. Yeah, the comedy was... That's what made it great. It was actually really funny. But here's the other thing too. To me, it's incredible when people can sing, dance, and act all at the same time. And they're good at all of them. It blows my mind. How many damn talents are you going to have? Isn't that actually... It's unfair, really. Well, isn't that a little... Isn't that more common than not in the acting world? Because a lot of these guys and girls... They do start off in Broadway. Yeah, they start the Broadway route doing plays and stuff where you have to kind of do all of that, right? Yeah. Well, I mean theater in general when you're kind of going up and that's like the direction you want to go. I want to be an actor. Like most of them get trained and singing and... Anna Kendrick, is that her name? She's the main girl in it. She plays... Have you seen Trolls, the cartoon Trolls? Yeah. You know the little girl one? Mm-hmm. She plays her voice. And the singing is actually her voice. No, she has a great voice. And then there's a song in the movie where she uses a cup and she makes sounds with it with her hands and then she sings. And I've heard that song. It's actually really good. It's her. It's her real voice. Like how talented can you be? It's so annoying. It reminds me when I used to train really smart... I used to train a lot of doctors and surgeons. And when you get to know these people, you realize they're definitely a special breed of intelligence. Like to be a surgeon, you're really just a super smart person. And I remember I'd train them and we'd talk about stuff. And I'd start to realize just how talented they were. And then I'd say stuff like... So what kind of hobbies do you have? These are like vascular surgeons and heart surgeons and general surgeons. What do you do for fun? Oh, you know, I'm a classically trained pianist. What do you mean classically trained? Like how good are you? You watch them play? Like you're... This doesn't make any sense. Where do you find the time to do all this stuff? Yeah. So damn. Every now and then you'll get like a Hugh Jackman though. Yeah. He'll find his way into some like musical and you're just like... Yeah. Dude, awful. No, Hugh Jackman did the one musical that was epic. You liked it? No, the other one. The one where he's like the circus one. Oh yeah. He's not that great of a singer. Was it him? There was like a definitive like manly kind of actor that kind of crossed over into that. I thought he was good. Maybe it wasn't him. Yeah. There was somebody that had a really terrible voice. I feel like you're wrong because I think that was a... Wasn't that a really good one? What was that circus one called? No, I think you're right. I think he did actually get like praise... Was it Dumbo? No, not Dumbo. What was the circus one with Hugh Jackman? The greatest showman. The greatest showman. I knew you would know. Thank you. Great job, Doug. Doug's a huge Hugh Jackman fan. He's a big dancer fan. Yeah. Big musicals. He was also good in... Started back in the day with Fred Astaire. Big fan, man. Lemezor Abla was super good. He had him in there. I never watched that. You know who was in that too? Who's the guy that played gladiator? Russell Crowe. He was in that. He couldn't sing. That's who it was. That's who it was. That's who it was. Damn it. Sorry Hugh Jackman. I was just saying because he was pretty good, man. Yeah, I thought he was pretty good. Speaking of pretty good, tell me about that food you sent a picture over to the group. Oh. It was like a steak and mushrooms. Yeah, daddy cooked. You know, I had to give some credit though to Douglas. Like he is the one that first got... That's the staple truckie meal for us. It is. You eat with the mushrooms? Yeah. Sauteed mushrooms, sauteed onions. Do you saute them in the ghee like he does and the whole... Ghee and onion or I mean garlic salt. That's so good. Yeah. And like you do it for about an hour, right? So the mushrooms and the onions get about an hour of sauteed and then the steaks are a quick... I could eat it by itself. Eight to 12 minutes, yeah. What steak are you cooking? I use the butcher box ribeye. And I really like... So again, this is from play from Doug's book. What I like about using the grass-fed beef because it's a leaner cut, right? When you do the grass-fed, then I get to... Take it a bit longer? No, less. Yeah, less. And then you also get to, you know, drown it in the ghee and mushrooms and onions. So it gives it even more a juicy kind of flavor. I pour it over the top of it. So you like sear both sides? Yeah. I have a... I can't... I YouTube this guy one time and it's a two-minute rotation. So... And if you do a good job, you get your temperature just right. You should know... Yeah, you're real scientific about your meat. You are. I see you with the timer. You're putting it on. You got to make sure the right temperature. You know what? For a long time, I didn't do that. That was just my ego, like wanting to be like, I don't need a timer. I don't need this. But it's like... I just feel the meat. Yeah, you know, and my brother-in-law, like... Yes, you do, Sal. He talks a lot of shit. Sorry. For me, using tools like the Traeger and some of that, because he thinks... But I'm about... It turning out good. I don't care if I got to use my phone and timers and all that stuff like that. Like, I'll do whatever it takes to cheat to have good meals. Are you guys doing the flank yet from Butcher? No, you've been saying that forever. You know what the problem is? Have I done that? I'm lazy about changing my things on... It's so easy. Go on your phone and change it. And I don't do that. What the hell's wrong with that? Katrina does everything for you, like a baby. She does everything for you. Hey, don't be mad. I'm back all New York streets. Don't be mad because my wife is awesome. It's a good response. It'll be a hater. No, so the flank is... First of all, obviously it's thin, right? So it's a big piece of meat, thin. You want to cook it rare. And what I do is I go rock salt, so it's nice and chunky. Then I do garlic powder and then rosemary. And I do it on both sides. And it comes out... And I cook it to like a temperature of like 128. So it's like 20... It's like rare-ish. Oh man, you cut that into strips? So good. It's my favorite. I have it always on the regular rotation now from ButcherBox. Yeah, yeah. Super good. Are you eating... That's all you're eating right now. All burgers, steaks. Like it literally is like those two things are like the majority of what I'm putting in my body. Now, how dialed do you stay on the weekend? Like are you like... Were you good this weekend? Good this weekend, except I did have a few drinks because I played poker with some of my friends on Saturday. I kept that even to just like three whiskeys on the rocks and, you know, tried to keep it just to that. And so I... That was it though. I mean, I'm not like... I had steak and actually brought it with me to grill. And so, you know, we all had that. I did the coffee rub again and showed them. Oh, I haven't done that yet. Am I not invited to that? Because you're afraid I'm going to take all your money? You know, we had that a long time ago, dude. So I'm a different player. I don't know if you want to get into this action. I do want some of this action. Adam used to beat you also. I want some of that action. I think he did. I was very young in my skills back then. Cards are my game. But yeah, like I enjoy it. It's just something that an excuse to get together. And I haven't seen these guys in a while. These are like your buddies that go all the way back to even high school or college, what is it? High school. Yeah, it's like high school buddies. But yeah, it's funny because I actually got pulled back in a little bit to helping out with the high school football team. And this is one of those things. I just started talking to one of my friends who was going to help me like remove trees. And he's like, now there's this changeover of the head coach for the varsity team. And so I was like, have you done it yet? So today is going to be the first like group workout for the team. Oh my God. So you're going to go in and you're going to work with a bunch of high school kids. I'm taking over. Now you do realize I'm going to say this right now because it's today, right? It's later today. They're not the same as when you were a kid. I know. You might offend or scare someone. No, that's the point. It's football. It's football. You are supposed to do this. Bro, it's different. That's why I want to get involved because the head coach, I really like, he went through the program with me and with my other friends and has that same mentality of that mental toughness and really just getting back to the roots of what made us successful. And we were like one of the best teams that ever came out of that school for a specific reason because of our mentality and doing the extra amount that nobody else would do and being champions. Like all of that, we're going to be planting seeds in these kids' heads. And if there's the whiny, sniveling shit, it's just not going to fly. Do you remember the viral baseball coach video? Oh yeah. You've seen that one, right? Yeah, I love it. I totally feel like that's going to be just it. I think that's going to be hilarious. And you know, like I don't, like I was thinking about that too because like it is going to be different. They just haven't been exposed to, you know, certain kinds of men and people that are just like, listen, like this is a tough sport. This is something you're going to get hurt. And so we have to take this very seriously. And if you're going to complain about doing, you know, XYZ or not, like cover your assignments or you know, you're not going to take this seriously, go take a hike. Can we please send Eli to come get some footage of this? Yeah. I would like to see you offend later. Yeah. We don't need you around. That's the bottom line. Maybe we shouldn't film them. Maybe because we don't have to release it. That's true. I mean, at least go tripod this shit so we get some footage. By the way, I don't know. Like, because here's the thing, like I was, and I was so motivated because there was like a changing of the guard. So, you know, our old coaches that were there, they did a fantastic job, but they all kind of had that feeling like it was a different vibe and like they were just kind of, their time was done. And so now like, you know, coming in, they were doing CrossFit and they're just doing this nonsense for their workouts. And I just, oh, it was like nails on a chalkboard to me every time I would like listen to what they were doing with the program. And so now it's like, I'm like, hey, man, I would love to help at least with the workouts. At least let me kind of come in and show them the way. There's a way to get powerful, strong, fast, specifically to enhance the skill and position by position. So, you know, that's something I'm totally going to take in. This is going to be so fun. You know what? A lot of people don't realize this, but a lot of the value of playing a sport or doing something competitive, there's obviously value in the organization of it, working with other people, knowing what it feels like to have people depend on you, being competitive. But there's also a lot of value in that toughness that you get from some of these coaches that, where it's like, okay, oh yeah, I understand your knee hurts, but guess what, we're still going. You got to keep going. That's a life lesson. That's kind of what life... Overcoming adversity. It is. One of the best places and learning how to work with others. Exactly. Those two things may be two of the greatest lessons that sports teaches almost every kid. Totally. You know, I remember as a kid, the first time something like this hit me, I was 12 or 11. I'm at Judo. I used to do Judo when I first started doing Judo at San... It's a club here in San Jose. It's old. It's been around since 1950 something. It's San Jose Buddhist Judo Club. So it's one of the oldest Judo schools in the country. And the instructors when I was a kid were these volunteers and many of them were from Japan. So these old school, 60, 70 year old Japanese instructors from Japan, right? So they literally don't care. They don't care if you're going to wine or whatever. They don't want to hear none of that stuff. You show up. You have to clean the whole place when you're done. You have to sweep and clean. You have to show lots of respect. I'll never forget this. I went with my cousin and my cousin, one of my cousins was a bit of a whiner. And he was always trying to get out of doing a lot of the exercises. So, oh, my foot hurts. Oh, my whatever hurts. And there was this little, I sort of got a five foot four old Japanese instructor, didn't speak very good English, but you know not to fuck with this guy. And my cousin was like, oh, I can't do the drill because my toe hurts. So the sense he goes, huh, come here. Come here. So he like walks over to him and he grabs a broom with, you know, the broom handle and everything. And I thought he was going to be like sweep. I thought he was going to be like, you go sweep. He hits him in the toe. Boom. Like he stomps it. And my cousin goes, now your toe hurts. Push it down. And I was like, what? The sense just hit one of us. I was like, is this legal? Like what's going on here? It was great. Same old school. Same sense. I'll never forget. Same guy. I was talking during one of his instructions. I was kind of like giggling or whatever. And he walks over to me and he judo throws me so hard. He knocked the wind out of me. And it was like, this was the environment that we, there was also very respectful and odd stuff, but you can't do that anymore. Yeah. But it's like, it's a contained environment for, it's an outlet for aggression. And there's just so much value there. And my main motivation because it's high school and my kids aren't even in high school yet, you know, obviously. So I just want to make sure that they see it. Like they want to be, I want them to be around it. I want them to look up to these kids like I did. I looked up to the high school kids that they might as well have played in the NFL for me. Like going to these high school games with these big towering guys, you know, and like going head up against each other. And it was just one of those things. I want to, I want to bring that environment and what I experienced. All joking aside, those kids are going to be very lucky. I'm serious. This is all joking aside. They're going to be very lucky to have you. You're going to be one of the best coaches they ever had. It's going to be very, very valuable. Are you bringing your boys with you? Yes. They're going to come to practices with me every now and then. That's so great. And then hopefully, yeah. So how often are you doing it? So what's the plan? I know I saw you texting in the group thread about this that I didn't see. Yeah. I mean, I again, like obviously we're super busy and this is something that I've always wrestled with because I always wanted to do it, but it was just like it doesn't make sense, but it's never going to make sense with what we do. So I'm just trying to, I'm just trying to do if it's after hours, like around five, then I'm like, I can make it. Or if we're not out of town, I'll make it. So really it's just about as many opportunities I can be there. I'm going to be there, but if I'm not around, I'm not around. They're totally cool with it. So does this mean too, you're going to be like officially on the field for Friday games and everything like that? Oh, yeah. Oh, dude. Well, so we got to go. Absolutely, we have to go. Oh, I'd love that. Yeah, bro. Are you kidding me? That'll be awesome. Get field passes and everything. Totally, bro. I got you. I have an article that when I read, I thought this is not real, but it is, it's a real article. You guys ready for this? Okay. This is wild. Here's the title. FBI finds horrific Frankenstein-like experiments at body donation facility in Arizona. What? Yes. Okay. Define Frankenstein-like projects. Here we go. Here we go. Arizona? Yeah, there's body donation places. I guess when you die or whatever, they'll take the body and they'll donate organs and whatnot. So they store the bodies there, right? So FBI agents stumbled upon a house of horrors after raiding a body donation company in Arizona, discovering a warehouse containing refrigerators filled with penises, buckets of limbs, pools of blood, and a human head sewn onto another body in a Frankenstein manner. What? Yeah, dude. Why? No more than that? You got to give us more. It says the former owner of this particular place, Stefan Gore, his last name is Gore, pleaded guilty to one count of illegal control of an enterprise in 2015 and received a sentence of four years probation. However, he now faces a civil lawsuit. So anyway, 33 plaintiffs are suing the body-broken business, alleging the remains of their family members were obtained through false statements and their bodies were not stored, treated, or disposed of. Okay, so is there a big black market for organs? No. Or what was his company? So he was obviously storing these bodies and what was the purpose? I think... Okay, there's no money for sewing. I'll read a little more. That's why I don't understand. Like, where... He's obviously a weird sicko. Yeah, obviously. Obviously. Look at this. So they... Can Doug pull up a picture what this guy looks like? I mean, you can look the guy up. So it says... Former pickled wiener. Former FBI agent stated that he saw various unsettling scenes at this particular place in Phoenix, including numerous dead bodies that appeared to have been played with as a morbid joke. One of the most shocking was a small woman's head sewn onto a large male body. Oh, my God. So here's some of the stuff that they found. Oh, gosh! The court documents also contained a price list for various body parts. Whole body with no shoulders or head, $2,900. Torso with head, $2,400. So he was selling these off. So there was a black market. Oh, that's crazy. Wow. That is... Who buys this? I know, right? Can you look that up? Or where to buy a dead body? Have you ever tried to Google that? Well, they found... I can't say I have. I feel like Sal has. I don't know if I should start. Sal's history is pretty dark. Could you Google that one time for us? Well, apparently, the body-broken industry is very unregulated, especially in Arizona. So I guess that nobody checks. What do you... That sucks, dude. What do you do with that, though? Let's see. Why do you buy a... I don't understand. What would you do with it? I have no idea. It's experiments, dude. Obviously. I mean, there's some weird people out there. The dead body? Yeah. Google it, Doug. Come on. Put it in your browser. Well, I got this guy. This is the guy here. So I'm not going to lie. Is that his family right there? He looks like he's got a normal family. All I know is his face looks like someone that would do this. Dude, his face is for sure like a tell. Like, if I just saw this guy on the street, I'd say to myself, He probably has sex with dead bodies. Probably. He's necrophilia. 100%. Dude, how creepy and disgusting and scary is that? Imagine if you're the FBI agent, you walk in. Oh, yeah. Five facts. Now, you're his wife. It's immediate, like divorce. I'm out there. I don't know. Look how happy she looks. She looks like she... Well, that's before she found out that he... Oh, you don't think she knows? He's mangling body parts. You don't think she knows? Your husband doesn't have hundreds of jars of penises and you not know as a wife. He's got like two daughters, too. Yeah, they're at his business. You think his wife goes through that stuff all the time? I don't know. Do you think you can hide it from your wife? What? If I had a bunch of jars of penises in my office? Yeah. Yeah. That time that you did, did you? No. Yeah, where'd you store it? Yeah. Hey, honey, where'd you get that dildo? That was really realistic. Oh, my God. That's a real safe place. Boy, the technology's gotten good these days with these sex stores. Oh, man. That thing is... I didn't even know there was a... I didn't even know this was like, is there a name for this type of person that's into this stuff? I don't know, dude. Justin, I feel like you know this. No, I mean, just the ones that have sex with their bodies. That's an echo. I don't know what that is. So, I would imagine... That's actually a big problem. Frankenstein. So, if that's a big problem, then that's what I would imagine he would be selling on the black market then. Oh. Would be people that want to have sex with these dead bodies. No, I just want to torso. Well, the org I know here... It's very specific. Yeah. Actually, I would like a female head on like a big masculine body actually. Yeah, just really just the real case. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it was a bunch of like requests. Oh, it gets me going. Maybe this guy built a network of these. What are they called? Necrophiliacs? Yeah. So, maybe he built a network of these people and he started taking requests. Like, I want one. Yeah. I don't want the arm. I just want the arm socket. Yeah, I want a black penis on an Italian man and with a woman's head. That's what I would like and I'm willing to pay $5,400. That's very specific. You imagine he shows up and he's like, so, I got some cutting to do. He's like, so, you got dead bodies here, right? Yeah, he's like, I got a, I don't know, I'm gonna say a weird request. How much would a jar of dicks cost? Do you have a jar of dicks? I mean, that's the ultimate prank, right? You send somebody that like, hey, you're a jar of dicks. I don't know. Thank you. Imagine dropping the jar of dicks. There's a company that you can send the bag of dicks to somebody. I've seen that. I've seen that. Yeah. What's it called? They're not real dicks, though. No, of course they're not real dicks. They're fake. Let's take it to the next level. That's way next level. That's what I would do. That's like Logan Paul level. I feel like if someone were to send you a bag of dicks, that would be your one-up, right? Like, all right, send me a bag of dicks. I'm gonna send you a jar of real dicks. See how you like that one, buddy. Throw it at someone? Oh, whap. Disgusting. Look, in the U.S. market for human bodies, almost anyone can dissect and sell the dead. What? This is a problem. I didn't know that. Yeah. Well, you know, the black market... That settles it up. You're cremating me. The black market organ market is huge, because it's so regulated. There's like a wait list for organs, and in the black market, you could buy kidneys, you could buy liver. Wasn't there a movie about that where, like, people that would go down to Mexico would get kidnapped, and they would take out, like... One of their kidney... Now, is that real, or is that a... What do they call it? I mean, it's an urban... Horror story. Yeah, urban legend. No, I think that's a thing, Doug. No? I think it might be real. Yeah. There's probably some cases. Mexico organ thieves. Boy, you're gonna have a browser full of some neat shit in the next week. We're about to get the FBI. Is the body trade market regulated? Right. Organ thieves. How do they do it? Do they get caught, you know? That's the next one. Yeah, bags of fertilizer next. Go look that up. Oh, my gosh. But, boy, that's a... I didn't know that. I thought it was an urban legend. That's the one where the person goes out, and then next to the end, they wake up in the bathtub full of ice, and they notice that they have incisions. Isn't that a movie? What movie was that? That was in a movie. Minority report. But, I mean, obviously, that was where they got different eyes to be able to scan. What do you find, Doug? It seems that this is a true thing that organizations have engaged in kidnapping people with the victims being killed and their organs harvested for the illegal organ trade. Well, you know, I think a kidney goes for like 20 grand, something like that. It's gotta be expensive, right? To be worth killing somebody over? Yeah. Oh, that's crazy. How much does it cost to kill somebody, Doug? No. I just wanna see how far we can get Doug to go. It's like going to Home Depot and buying tarp and rope. Bunch of biscuits. Duck tape. That's it. Rope, duck tape, tarp. Do you guys have any color form? I wanna know what it smells like. Anyway, scary, frightening, disgusting stuff, but it's unregulated, which I had no idea. I had no idea that it was that unregulated. That is enlightening. Now, how are you guys about that for yourselves? Where it's no big deal when you die, you'll donate your organs? Yeah, dude. No problem, right? It's just a body. There's some cultures, that's like a huge no-no, though, right? Yeah. Yeah, again, that's all your belief system and your traditions and all that kind of stuff. I know that I was tripping out on that because with mummies and everything, their whole thing was that they were, eventually, science would catch up and they'd be able to resurrect them. And this is actually, like, possible, right? Because you get the DNA samples from them still and you'd be able to clone them. That's my only fear, giving it away. I don't want to be cloned. There's a lot of weird shit happening. What if, you know, we get to come back? You might need it. Yeah. Have you guys ever read stories about memories being stored in cells, not just in your brain? And so the stories of people that'll get a heart transplant and then they'll start to have memories or take on the characteristics of the person whose heart that they took. That's wild. Have you guys ever read this stuff? It's really when you have a pig heart. I don't want it anywhere. Yeah, honey. I don't want bacon anymore for some reason. It doesn't taste right. It doesn't taste right. You got any slop? No, but weird, if you read about some of these stories, where people will, they'll just have, like, very strange changes in their personalities and then they'll find that the person whose organ they took was like that. I thought that was a hermit legend. That's real? I know. I've read stories. I don't know if it's real, like, if studied it, but I've read stories like that. Like R.L. Stein stories? No. It's like, I've read stories. No, that's definitely been, yeah. There's been cases. I've seen the same thing. Like, there's been a few cases out there where people are, like, talking about that. It's true. Like, I've changed my behavior. See, I don't, see, Adam, I don't, do you ever go in rabbit holes on the internet, like Justin and I do? I don't think he does, so. I don't. You know how fun that is? I do on different stuff. It's not as cool as your guys' stuff. Yeah, there's layers, dude. It's an onion. You never just get curious about weird shit. Not weird stuff. I go down rabbit holes on things that I'm interested in, and then I'll just, you know, in YouTube. And YouTube is the most dangerous, because they do such a good job with the algorithm of, like, sending you, and before you know it, you're off on a far trail. Yeah, I know. I found some great content that way, though, so, I mean, I do. No, I read, one time I was going down the rabbit hole and I was reading about some of the most inhumane experiments that people have done or had been done on humans. Have you ever read the one, and I don't know if it was real or not, but I read about it and it was terrifying. The Soviets did a study on humans where they kept them up for as long as they could. Oh, yeah. Have you read about this one, Justin? Yeah. Where they didn't allow them to sleep, and then, apparently, they went so mad. It's iconic. One of them killed the others and ate them, started eating them. What? Yeah, they just became these, like, What? Yeah, dude. The rabbit beast. Eating the other ones. That's supposed to be one of the number one ways of torturing, right? Keeping them up with loud music and doing weird shit like that. That's so torturing. Oh, you literally, within a few days, your odds of becoming mentally deranged or gets afraid was like 70% or something crazy. Now, do you ever think, okay, so when we have these weird things, the whole idea of the stories of zombies, that's where the origin of it came from, something like that, where maybe, no, where there's people being tortured or kept from them sleep. Well, that's like the whole thing with vampires with Ladi and Paylor. They're just trying to figure out why he was so evil, though I got off on, like, just, you know, basically killing all these people on spikes. Yeah, well, you know, the term ring my bell, I think that's where it comes from. Ring my bell comes from. I think that's the term. Dead ringer. Dead ringer. Sorry, thank you, Doug. God, sometimes Doug's on fire. Oh, yeah, because they'd bury people and a lot of times they'd be alive still. Yeah, because back in the day, he passed out. Oh, yeah, they had a little rope and they could, they could ring it. Because you know why they did that? There were times where they'd have to move bodies and they'd open up the casket and they'd see scratch marks on the inside like somebody was trying to get out. It just does something. Being awful, hands down, that has to be the number one worst way to go would be buried alive. Alive? Yeah, I'd rather drown, I'd rather burn. I'd rather, I would, buried alive would be, I get the chills just thinking about that. You have to make peace with the fact that you're... Did you ever see that movie with, I want to say it's Ryan, whatever, Ryan, is it Ryan, not Ryan Gosling, but the other Ryan... Reynolds? Yes, Ryan Reynolds, thank you. God, damn, took some fire today. What are you doing right now, Doug? What are you doing over there, huh? Taking the tropics again? I know, I know, it'd be great for a commercial day on that, man. What's going on over here? No, yeah, he was in this movie where the whole thing was shot. He was buried alive in a coffin. Oh, I remember that. I never saw that movie. Is it good? I mean... Or to give you anxiety the whole time. I couldn't watch that. I mean, it made me uncomfortable even watching the one with Quentin Tarantino where... Oh, well, what's her name is in the... Yeah, Kill Bill. Kill Bill. Where she was like doing the one-inch punch. Yes, so he... So, well, what happened, I didn't know going into the movie, so I remember watching it before I had heard about it, and I only stuck around because I couldn't believe that this movie was taking... I was like 20 minutes in my 20 minutes. This has been the whole scene. 30, 40, an hour, we haven't left this. I'm like, and then I was so curious, are they going to end this movie and this guy's never going to get out? It's called Buried. That's it. Was it a good movie? I mean, it wasn't horrible. I stayed in. I watched, but I mean, again, a lot of what kept me in was I don't think that's ever been done. I don't think there's ever been a movie where... Well, some of the best movies of all time were only in one or two scenes. So, like, 12 Angry Men was all... almost all of it was in that, where the jurors were, or what's the other Quentin Tarantino? Quentin Tarantino, Reservoir Dogs. It's literally the car chase, and then the entire rest of the movie is in one scene, one area. Well, another thing was, like, cast away for an example of, like, one of the longest amount of time before there was any dialogue. But you're captivated by it, because there was so much he was, like, working through. But, like, there was no... He wasn't speaking, and then finally he had Wilson to kind of, like, speak to, but you're just like, I'm watching a movie right now and nobody's talking. So, I just watched one this weekend that was like this, and it was actually really good. It's based on a true story. I want to say the name of it was Profile. I just texted Katrina to double-check the name. I think it's Profile. And basically it's about this reporter who goes undercover to try and find these jihadists and that recruit, like, young girls. And so she goes as this young girl who has just recently converted and that he tries to recruit them over there. And the whole thing is literally her sitting at her computer going back and forth between... You pulling it up, Doug? Yes, that's it. I nailed it. Profile. Actually really good. Really? And it's literally the whole movie is her sitting in there, communicating. It's like you watching her, you know, type him back and forth on social media and then them Zoom calling and like, that's the whole movie. Wow. And it's really good. I like movies like that. I like movies that are different, they challenge the normal movie. Yeah. It's all about the writing at that point. Yes. If you hit it, I mean, it's really good. Like, if you can pull that off, right, of like literally one room be able to do a whole entire plot, I mean, that just speaks to the content. I'm a big dialogue guy. I love really good dialogue movies. No, you're not. Doug and I... What the hell? What are you talking about? He's a liar, dude. Tell him he's a liar, Doug. What are you talking about? He's a liar. No, I... He likes a variety. I like a variety, but I love good dialogue. Quentin Tarantino movies, one of the reasons why their movies are so good is they don't talk... Cool ass dialogue. And they don't talk like you normally would in real life. I agree with that. It's weird dialogue, but for some reason it works. It's what makes it... Reservoir Dogs is my favorite example of that. That whole movie, the dialogue is just so exceptional. Yeah, I mean, Quentin Tarantino is just a master, for sure. I mean, you brought up the other day when I was challenging best movies that came out, the Jojo Rabbit, and I would have to agree with you guys that that's probably up there with one of the most creative, well-written, well-shot, great cast. Oh, yeah. So there's another movie he did that I watched with my kids, and it was such a random movie. I didn't even know he produced it, but it had that kid that was a big Rotten kid from New Zealand. I forget the name of it, but it has this... It's a really endearing story about this kid that's like... From... What do they call those places where basically... Hostel... No, not a hostel, where you adopt a kid from... Orphanage. Orphanage, thank you. And so he finds his way to this family and basically like the mom dies. The mom was like really sweet with him and all that stuff, but what I like about the director is he takes a lot of really serious type of subject matter and he takes it through a lot of the child perspective and makes it somewhat whimsical. So this is the guy, the same director that did Jojo Rabbit. Oh, really? Or he gives the name? I don't remember the name of it. I'm waiting for the name here and I'm like, come on, guy. I'm trying to write my brain as I'm talking. What a tease. He wants blue balls. I'm sure this is like... Okay, okay, what is it? Ricky Baker. And it's got this song in there. This is why I remember. Do you even have it? It's how bad it's like... What's the song that'll help us? Ricky Baker. Uh-oh, Ricky Baker. There you go. Now you can find it, everybody. It's stupid. You're not going to help me find it. Do you even have like... What's rejected? Is it like, do you have like even a close-to-a-guess? Like what the name is maybe? It's all right. All you got to do is look up the director from Jojo Rabbit, look up all the movies he's done and then you got it. And I always mess up his name too. It's like Taiki... Taika Watiti. Taika Watiti. Taika's why what? I love him, dude. He's masterful with what he's been doing. Yeah. What a great word to use, by the way. Whimsical. That's a great descriptive word, Justin. Yeah. You know what I mean? It is. I mean, that was Jojo Rabbit, right? Adam's going to use it next. He's going to say it wrong. He's going to say it. You know what I'm saying? You got to practice it. Anyway, it's a great movie. You'll figure it out. Hey. We'll put in the show notes. I got some good news. You guys want to hear some exciting news? Of course. I mean, I guess it's good news. So this report just came out. More and more interesting stuff is coming out about... UFOs. No. What we just went through, you know, this whole pandemic. Can I interrupt you real quick? I asked you, did you respond to me about that? Did you watch that Close Encounter with the Fifth Kind? Not the Fifth Kind. Yeah. That's a new one. That's how I thought for sharing. The Third Kind was where I stopped. Is this it, Doug? I don't know which one you're talking about, Justin. Okay. Yeah. It's okay. So on the bottom row, it's the second one. He did Ragnarok? Yeah. He did Ragnarok. And he's also, he just did the latest store. Hunt for the Wilder people. Hunt for the Wilder people. Hunt for the Wilder people. Well, no wonder you forgot the name. Wilder people. Yeah, I know. Wilder people. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, it's totally random. It's so good, though. What else did he do? You just said he did what else? He did the latest Thor. Thunder or something. Oh, the one that hasn't come out yet? The one where it's got a thunder and something. And he's also done an episode for Mandalorian. So he was... I mean, the Ragnarok was the best one, I think, by far. Oh, yeah. Exactly. Oh, yeah. It was one of my favorite directors. Totally. All right. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. We'll take a vote. Weird stuff's been coming out about this whole pandemic that we're coming out of, right? So new report comes out. We're in the Bay Area, right? So Bay Area is like San Jose, San Francisco, very populated part of California. So check this out. They revised the COVID-19 death toll. So they went back and revised it. People came back to life. It seems that 25% of the fatalities were not caused by the virus. This... How convenient. Can I just leave the room? Yeah. I'm gonna walk in. You know what's crazy about this? 25%? That's a lot. Yeah. Now, you know what's crazy about this is that... Here's what's crazy. It's not that they did this. That's fine. What's crazy about it is that people were saying this. And they were labeled conspiracy theorists. That's right. They were demonetized. They were kicked off social media. Shame on people. You know that Facebook, for example... That's the part that's bullshit. Facebook, did you know that if you said that the virus came out of Wuhan Lab, they would have kicked you off of Facebook. Right. Now, they're allowing it because reports are showing that it might have actually come out of... Now, are you guys following... Do you know anybody that's read Fauci's book? Are you guys following any of this stuff? His emails are very ridiculous. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not following any of that stuff. So one of his emails, he said... He went back and forth talking about how masks aren't really that effective. They don't protect the wearer. They might protect other people a little bit from big pieces of spit or whatever. Big droplets, but... But he says it's very minimal. They said that asymptomatic people probably aren't really spreading it, which that was a big thing. They talked about all these symptomatic people. That's a really big one. Because then now... I mean, that became just hysteria for anybody is basically disease. You're looking at everybody's disease that way because it doesn't matter. You're going to get my grandma sick. Yeah. So... So what's going to happen in California? I just heard that Newsom pulled the whole... We were supposed to go in what, in a week or so? We were supposed to go full... He just... Yeah, he just completely just didn't even... Like he went back on that promise 100%. So, okay, I'm not... Again, I'm not following... So it was supposed to be what? June or July 15th? July 15th. Oh, I thought it was June 16th. Or one of those... Yeah, it was coming up really soon here. June? It's a date. Either way. And what they were supposed to do... He picked an arbitrary date. They were supposed to lift the mask mandate? What does it mean? Yes. Lift it. Yeah, completely. And I just went back on it. So my theory is what? Like, I guess maybe he's feeling the heat that he's not coming back. So now he's like, oh, well, whatever. I guess I'm going to shit on everybody on the way. Yeah. I'll just punish you now. Maybe. June 15th. June 15th. See? Yeah. You know, California's got the... Well, the U.S. in general, the cases are coming out very, very low. But California's tiny. I think we're having like 100. I know. So that's 100. Okay. So you guys are following this. I'm not. We are... Cases are diving. We have, I think, some of the highest percentage of people are vaccinated here. Yeah, in the Bay Area, 70%. Okay. So what was his reason? Well, what's his left? What's his reason, though? I don't know. I mean, not what really is his reason. It's pride. What is he saying? That's what I want to know. Like, I know there's a bunch of bullshit behind the scenes. I don't know his statement. But what's his... If all those numbers are going down, we originally were supposed to open up on this. How does he come... How does he make the case? If you're... Yeah, follow the science guy. Like, let me hear the science. Okay, what they're saying is they want to... We're not out of the woods. We don't want to prevent a particular... A surge again, right? I think that's what they're saying. I believe that the reason why they're doing it is because it adds more pressure for vaccinations. Because remember, it's going to be... You don't need to wear one if you're vaccinated. So it's going to continue to apply pressure. I think they're still trying to push to get more people vaccinated because obviously the more people are vaccinated, the lower the ratio. Which is so weird. That's how it is in Nevada right now, right? So Nevada is if you have been vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask. But then it's the honor system because legally they can't ask you to prove that you've been vaccinated. It violates HIPAA. So then what the fuck... You're not legally supposed to tell anybody what your medical history is. Yeah, I know. And that is clearly defined. So that makes such a moot rule to have, right? That makes no sense at all. Plus, I mean a decent chunk of Americans have been vaccinated in California quite a bit. I think California is like eighth in the country. Right. I think the number one country for vaccinations is Israel if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I think Israel is number one. But I think our case is if I'm not mistaken, we're close to 60%, 57% in the U.S. I don't know what the number is for what they call herd immunity. Where certain percentage, I think it needs to be like 75% or more. So in my personal opinion, I think they're just trying to continue to apply pressure. Because I feel like what happens is they think if they lift these mandates, the pressure comes off and then less people will want to go get vaccinated because they'll see around them, oh, it's not that bad. Because it's a reminder, right? Oh, everybody's still wearing a mask. We still need to go... Yeah, it's partially that, but it's mostly pride. Yeah. Yeah. It's because he said and he put so much weight on the fact that, you know, we were the only state that was so strict about that and look what it did, nothing. Yeah. Look at all the other states that are flourishing right now. Yeah, there's actually not a bad point when you compare the states, the populous states, they're finding that... That's why it's glad. I'm glad. You know why? I read a huge article on this. So I read this article, there was a study, I don't remember what university did it, but they did a huge study on the masks, the mandates and what impact and also on mandatory social distancing, like closing down businesses. And especially that. And they wanted to see from state to state, did it make a big difference if, like in California, we had the strictest social distancing laws and we shut down the most businesses. And then you have states like Florida and Texas, which were much more loose. And what they found, I can't remember the university, this was an actual study, this was my opinion, this was a study, they found it didn't make a difference. Now, the scientists couldn't understand why. Why didn't this make a difference? If we'd obviously, you're going to spread less disease if you're not around as many people, why is it that California that shut down so many businesses didn't do that much better per capita than a place like Florida or Texas? And here's what they found. And again, this is the one thing that we always dismiss, is that in those other states where businesses were allowed to open much sooner and people were allowed by the state to do certain activities, people voluntarily socially distanced themselves. People acted in their own best interests. So although businesses were allowed to be open, lots of people were not going to restaurants. If they did, they saw that there were people in there, they didn't go in there because there's too many people. So people through their own actions actually did the social distancing thing. This was always my argument was, if you force people to do it, they're going to blame you when shit goes wrong. If you allow them to make those choices, they take on that responsibility themselves. So I have a question for you that has nothing to do with this. It's nutrition related. So you know that I did the whole, you know, carnivoresc diet for a while and I've been introducing foods. Yeah, how's that been by the way? It's been going good. Now I've reintroduced a lot of different foods and then, you know, pulled them out back in and just kind of test how things are reacting. I think I shared with you that I was really bummed out that, you know, I've been having way shakes and the way shakes have bothered me. And so I'm like, this kind of sucks because I love whey protein shakes. Now I have also introduced the magic spoon back in and I've pulled it out multiple times. For some reason magic spoon doesn't bother me, but then the whey shake by itself does, yet I know magic spoon uses whey protein. Do you have any idea why that would be? Is it because maybe the... Different ingredients added in? That's what I'm wondering. Is it because the magic spoon has got other ingredients that it's paired with in just pure straight whey? And because maybe... That's a really good question. And I know that in the past that I've never, I've been like... So you have no reaction to the magic spoon? At all. At all. Are you eating like 40 grams of protein at a time when you're eating the magic spoon? Like is it the same amount? So that's what I'm wondering. Is it maybe because I'm getting more whey in a serving of a scoop of whey of protein in a protein shake. More concentrated. Yeah, more concentrated. Yeah, because the protein in magic spoon is they use whey, but they also use milk protein, which is both casein and whey. So maybe it's the amount of whey or it could be some other ingredient. That's very strange. Yeah, I haven't... And I've already done this enough times and it's like, okay, magic spoon doesn't bother me at all. Especially if I am using it with almond milk instead of using it with dairy, right? So I've noticed that when I have it with that, I feel completely... And I could have a big old bowl, not like a tiny little bowl. So I'm a big bowl of it, which I'm assuming is... And I haven't measured, so I should measure to give you the number so I can be a little more precise about this. Because your theory is that, oh, maybe I'm only getting 20-something grams from magic spoon of whey at a shot and then versus maybe getting 30 to 40 grams from the whey shake. All concentrated? Yeah, I don't know. But I've done it enough times now that I'm sensitive to just the shake and it's not bad, right? So what I still notice is that I can have little bouts of it. I can't take a lot of dairy in it. I wonder if it's the amount. I wonder if it is the amount. Or just being concentrated. Yeah, exactly. So I don't know. I just thought that was really, really interesting. Magic spoon is just an interesting company for me to look at, period. I don't see anybody coming close to competing with them in the market still. And there's going to be competition. There has to be. This market's exploding. I can't think of another high-quality protein, high-protein cereal that also tastes... They're everywhere, right? Have you guys seen their... But this good quality... It just makes me feel good too because I don't like being the stickler so much with my kids. Having them still have something that's a treat and fun that they can have for Saturday mornings. I enjoyed that whole experience, but obviously that was garbage I was putting in. It's just so nice to have that as an alternative that they can look forward to it as well, and it's not as damaging. What was your cereal again when you were a kid? You had a favorite. A cinnamon toast crunch. Oh, see? Yeah, right away. Boy, that's about as sugary. That was the jam. Oh, dude, it was like crack. Yeah, you guys didn't like... What was it, smacks? Was it the one with the frog? Yeah, I don't like that one. Really? That was terrible. Sugar smacks? I mean, Fruit Loops was okay. I mean, Frosted Flakes, like that was a good jam, too. But back in the day... You had to eat it quick, though. Back in the day, they were pretty bold. You know what I mean? Like, what are you going to name this cereal for a kid? Sugar smacks. Smacks? Yeah. Insulin... Diabetes smacks. I forget what the generic version was. That's what we had that came with a big giant bag. Oh. Sugar blow. Oh, cool. Yeah, I want some sugar blow, Mom. It was probably called sugar puffs or something like that. Yeah, I think it was something like that. I think it was sugar. Malto meal. I mean, you just had to snort it. Malto meal was the brand. It came in a big plastic bag. Dude, didn't they have those pixie sticks that basically, like, you just... It's just sugar. Pure sugar and, like... Those are still popular, man. You know, they now have, like, one-up those. They come in, like, these big, thick tubes. You never had the one from... Are you serious? No, you guys never went... They go pure dextrose. Yeah, yes. Did you never go to the Ice Cream Man and get the big, long pixie stick? Yes. The one that's what I'm talking about. Oh, my God. Did you ever get that? Yeah, my brother... No, I never got that. Oh, I did, bro. That was the... That was the... That was the cookie dough guy. Yeah. You guys remember that? Not from the Ice Cream Man. No, no, no. He just... No, no, no. That was my thing. You just went to the grocery store. And I'd walk home. He had a whole fucking thing. It was disgusting. All your friends were at the Ice Cream Man. You're looking at him like, you don't even know. You get the cookie dough. You don't even know. That's where it started. Hey, real quick. I hope you're enjoying the podcast. Head over to mindpumpfree.com. Check out our Big Arms Guide.

What are the golden rules of training for performance? Oh, that's a good question. The golden rules. Yeah, Justin. Give us a golden rule. Well, I mean, the biggest thing I think that I've adjusted with athletes was to really, you know, pay close attention to like how your joints, like what your range of motion is, the integrity, like the movement quality in general. I think that we kind of leap past all of the prerequisites towards training. And I think there's just so much attention there that needs to be had because these sports require so much out of our bodies. I mean, we're moving all different directions. We have to stabilize. We have to like provide power when we need it. So it's like so much you have to build upon that that if you haven't put the work in there, I would immediately drive them back into like quality of movement and how we need to address each individual joint specifically. I think another golden rule that we have to list, because I think we revisit this every week when we get a quaw, is nothing is going to make you better at playing your sport than playing your sport. Yeah, in fact, I would name that rule skill is the most important thing. Right. Skill over anything else. That's got to be the most important. Every week we have a question related to sports and also looking good and people ask. Should I practice my sport more or should I work out more? Right. And it's all, if you want to be good at your sport, nothing is going to make you better at that than actually playing your sport. That's great. So I would say definitely skill over anything else is always number one. And then when we get to physical performance, Justin said a good one, mobility is very important. Lack of mobility is one of the number one reasons why people hurt themselves and then you can't play your sport at all. And another one I would add is that strength for most sports or for most physical pursuits is the foundational physical pursuit. Meaning, what does that mean? That means if you get stronger, you generally improve your performance in other metrics. You can't say this for other metrics. Like if I make my speed better, my endurance better, my agility better, I don't necessarily get better and everything else. But with strength, we tend to. Now, this doesn't mean you just focus on strength and you ignore everything else, but it does mean that strength is very important. And it's more important the younger you are and the newer you are. As you get older, things get more fine too. What I mean by older is more experience, not older like in my 40s and 50s, but rather I've been playing for years and years. Then it's less important. But when you first get started, you want this kind of general strength because it's going to help you a lot. You want a real strong base to work with. And that's why you guys brought up skills. Like it's hand in hand. You never lose sight of skills training. That has to evolve as you get stronger as well. Otherwise, there's going to be a big disparity between the two once. And this happened to me even just focusing completely on getting bigger, getting stronger. But now that affected my actual movement and my performance on the field because I wasn't keeping maintaining up my skill. Now what about like the said principle? What you train is what you're going to get. So if you have somebody who has a very specific sport, there's obvious specific movements that carry over that are going to benefit you versus doing real general. I know you made the point, general strength is the foundation. But then after that point, if you're a tennis player trying to get good versus a football player, the specific exercises that you're doing is going to be completely different. Alignment doesn't require as much rotational strength like a tennis player is going to. I'd say the more advanced in competition you are and the more experienced, the more important that is. If I'm training a new athlete, general strength is going to give them the most bang for their buck. But when you're training someone who's been playing for a long time, you want to start to focus more on specific types of strength and mobility plays an even bigger role because as you get bigger, faster, you're playing against people that are better. Mobility becomes oftentimes the difference between a winning team and a losing team. Typically, if you're at your peak performance, that's what's going to carry you and provide longevity in your career is to really address those things. I think that's why I brought that up first is because it was something that was completely breezed over. We'd have a barely even warm-up and then we'd get into this really intense workout or intense practices and people were dropping flies. The reason being is there just wasn't that quality control and attention that direction. Well, to that point, another golden rule I think is that the real work is done in the off-season. I used to talk about even competitors on stage, that's what I'd tell them. Athletes are the same way. The real work is done in the off-season as far as how hard you're training and getting after it. Once you get into season play... You're just trying to prevent yourself from getting hurt. That's right. That is progressing. It becomes all skilled at that time and taking care of yourself. The real work is done in the off-season. Next question is from 12 weeks out. When should you train through pain versus taking time off? It seems like doctors want to sideline you if you have any pain at all. The more you work out, the more you start to learn your body, the easier it is for you to decipher good pain from bad pain. It's important to know the difference between good pain and bad pain because then I can move within my limits. I know what my edges are. If my knee is sore or my hip is sore, it's slightly injured. I can work on mobility and I can go to the edge and know that if I go beyond this particular range of motion, I'm going to injure myself further. But I can move up to that edge and work on strengthening it, bringing blood to the area, and accelerate, recovery. So this is when it becomes very important to understand the difference. Now, for someone listening who's like, oh gosh, that sounds so hard to decipher, start with this, sore muscles, typically moving them with low intensity is a great thing. Joints oftentimes need rest. Not always can you move through joint pain and make them feel better. Oftentimes, if a joint hurts, if it's in the joint, rest is something that that particular situation is. Well, I always think that pain worries me. Someone says I'm in pain or something. I have pain somewhere versus I'm sore. Soren pain are different. Somebody can be very sore. They both hurt. A lot of people interpret soreness as pain, which is muscle soreness, which is not as big of a deal and training through it a lot of times is actually a great thing for you to do. But if a client complains to me that they have pain, soreness should progressively get better over time. So as days go by, you're a little less sore, a little less sore just because you're resting and recovering. A lot of times, if you've injured something and you have serious pain somewhere, two days, three days, five days doesn't make a difference. And that's where I'm telling a client, okay, you should probably go see a doctor. We might need an MRI. We might need an X-ray because you may have tore something. You may have broke something. You may have fractured something. And that is to me pain. It's a whole because you're sore, that's a different story because you might have just over-trained a little bit and then there's tremendous value and you're doing mobility work and working through it and getting some circulation, getting rehydrated, things like that. But you have to be able to decipher the two. This is kind of a rule of thumb. Does light movement make the pain feel better? Or worse. Yeah, or worse, right? Usually, if it makes it feel better than movements, what you want to do, if you do light movement and then it feels worse, then you probably should set it aside and let it rest. I still think it's better to at least go through that and find where those edges are. Just so you know, because at the end of the day you're still going to have to function and walk and move and do things and lift bags of groceries and you're going to have to go on with the rest of how you would normally do things. And so to start that process in a very gradual way I think has value in itself, but it is scary when you're getting these parameters and the doctor's telling you, like, no, I don't want you to move at all. But there's definitely degrees of what your body's going to tell you in terms of a signal of pain. This is where that range is for you. Well, that's a good point because even a physical therapist after you've tore something or broke something, they take you through that. I mean, that's part of the process of rehab is they put you to those in limits. I mean, a lot of times rehab is painful and is tough because they're pushing those in ranges and stretching your capacity. So if you have a major injury and you're in major pain, doing that by yourself without the expertise or guidance. Yeah, to me that's something that's like... By the way, this is one of the main values of exercising regularly, is it puts you in your body. I used to blow me away when I was a new trainer and I would train a client that really never exercised on a regular basis, just how outside of their body they were. I used to get this all the time. They're doing an exercise that's targeting a specific area and they'd be like, where am I supposed to feel this? What do you mean where are you supposed to feel this? And they're fatiguing too and they just feel it everywhere. Or they're sore and they'd be like, I think I hurt myself. I'd say, well, no, that's actually what muscle soreness feels like. Or they couldn't tolerate the fatigue or pain from regular appropriate exercise. So when you exercise on a regular basis, you actually learn to be in your body. You learn to decide for... You get in tune with it. Exactly, because if you never do that stuff, you're literally detached from your body. I've seen this time and time again with new clients and it was always strange to me, but then you'd see them improve their connection as they continue to be consistent. Next question is from Peaceful Knievel. How should you deal with the clicking or popping in the shoulders when doing an overhead press? It isn't painful, but prevents me from going heavier and owning the movement. You know, of all the joints in the body, the shoulder joint is one of the more complex because you have the humerus that moves in the shoulder joint. You have the AC joint, which does some function. Then you have the scapula that moves in lots of different directions. It can retract. It can abduct, adduct. It does all these weird movements and all of those have to move together in the right way. Part of the reason why is we evolved to throw with tremendous accuracy. We have this really mobile, interesting shoulder joint. Meanwhile, it's floating in there. If you're feeling pain, you're doing the overhead press. What's happening is one of these moving parts isn't moving the way that it should. It's not moving optimally. If you continue to push through this, you can cause yourself a lot of pain. What I would suggest is avoid overhead shoulder press and focus on shoulder mobility. Then when you work yourself back into the overhead press, go very light and relearn how to move. Do not go heavy. The second you go heavy, you go back to your old way of moving. Go light and move in a way that avoids the clicking pain. It won't feel very natural at first because it's a new way of moving, but eventually it will become your new pattern. This person has also not, they said it's not painful. I've been told that the popping sound is just air in your joints. A lot of times when you hear popping and it's not painful. Well, they're saying it isn't painful, but prevents me from going heavier, which tells me there's something else. That are from fear. That's how I was reading this. Sometimes you hear that, like popping of the joints and it's not painful, but you hear it. I just did a video not that long ago on my Instagram and you can hear my ankles popping like crazy, but it doesn't hurt me at all. There's a difference between joints popping because of the suction that's created and the gas that's released, like when you pull a suction cup off the window. Then there's the popping that comes from tendons and ligaments flipping over each other over and over again. That can become a problem. Which is the worry, like it's going to be dislocated. There's different concerns there, I think for people, and maybe that's happened to them in the past, and then they still have a bit of clicking that they're working through with that. That's one of those things kind of slowing it down, working on building up more tension and support around the joint as I'm going through those movements, but part of that clicking, for some people, is just going to be part of the process. This is also, if this person is not priming, you've got to be priming. I tell you what, go do some hand cup with rotation or suspension trainer W's before you go and do your shoulder press or zone one in maps prime address all that and then tell me, if it's a mobility issue and you're just not aligned very well and then you go do these movements and then it completely eliminates that, then there's your issue right there. You're just not lined up properly and it's not tracking like it should be and you just need to prime for it. I have this more right now than usual, I'm noticing my right side a lot because that's where I carry max and so I've got to put an extra work on my right side to get it back to bench press or overhead press. If I don't, I neglect it, I can do the movements but I'll feel that clicking and popping and mine actually bothers me, it doesn't feel good at all. So if that's the issue and you need to be priming before you go into these movements. Next question is from 713 Clown. If you eat the same healthy foods on a regular basis, does your body get used to the nutrients and they stop being beneficial? I've heard this before so it doesn't work like that. What could happen is you could have nutrient deficiencies because you're not eating foods that contain particular nutrients. That's right. Now after eating a lot of animal products and meats, you're probably okay. Red meat contains a lot, it's very nutrient dense so you're probably fine. This is more of an issue for vegans. When they get stuck in the cycle of eating the same vegetable sources or the same vegan sources, they run into issues because they need a wide variety to provide themselves with nutrients that they'd be missing. Now there is one potential other issue. If you're eating the same foods over and over again and you have gut inflammation, you could increase your risk of developing a food intolerance because your body's being exposed to the same food over and over again. You have inflammation of the gut, your body now is developing an immune response to that particular food. Next thing you know, the sweet potato that you eat every single day is your gut or your body because you've developed an immune response. Other than that, this is not that big of a deal. I think if you eat one food all the time, this could become an issue but it fits the same four or five foods and you have some animal sources. You don't hear that though from carnivore, right? You don't hear that from them because of how nutrient dense meat is. So it's not just vegans that have this issue but it is if you do tend to only eat a few things and eat a lot of meat. It sort of loses its potency, I guess. Right. Or you're just missing some nutrients that just those foods. There's a girl, I think, she developed some big issues. It was a story a while ago because all she would eat were chicken nuggets. She had a weird aversion to any other food and all she would eat pizza too. And there's stuff like that. And they get away with it for a long ass time because a lot of these foods are fortified. Well, yeah, and the body is resilient as shit. I mean, its goal is to survive. And if you're giving it some sort of fuel it'll figure itself out. It does not mean it's running optimally and it doesn't mean that it won't catch up with you eventually. Now it definitely doesn't mean that it loses its benefit. You're still getting the same nutrients. I think though there is some value in eating with the seasons just because it's already there in nature. You see how these different types of vegetables and plants have provided you with certain nutrients going into the colder seasons and so you'll get some of that benefit just by following nature patterns. Now you know what the big value is with doing that is in my opinion psychological. I think there's a huge value to changing the way you eat either with the seasons or with your goals. You're more accustomed to a wide variety. You're less likely to have to always be in this rigid box and then if you go off, oh my gosh and I binge all of a sudden, like I never eat carbs and now all of a sudden I ate some carbs and I'm going to eat all the carbs type of deal for example. So I think the psychological benefit is really high. You know who does this the most is bodybuilders but mainly when they're in pre-season or excuse me, not pre-season pre-contest where they'll eat the same like four things all the time. It's like tilapia chicken asparagus and some white rice. It's the same thing all the time. But again it's more of a psychological issue that I see because then when they go off it becomes like this. Oh my gosh the chains are off. I can do whatever I want. Well we've always promoted that on the show the food rotation. I just think that's just be aware of those things especially when there's foods like for example like fish. So I don't always have fish in the diet but I try and be aware of when I've done a week or two and I haven't got any fish in the diet then I will actively go out there or when Katrina is asking me when she's ordering our food groceries and she says, you know, what do you want for dinner this week? I say, you know what? Throw some fish in there. It's been a week or two since we had that. Make sure we get that in there. If we've been doing a lot of red meat then I'll throw some white meat in there. So I just think it's vegetables. We're trying to change all the colors up. So I just think it's a good habit for people to try and get into is to rotate your foods because different foods provide different nutrients and if you have a good rotation you're probably going to cover most bases.

It may become about, you know, giving them different types of routines. It might become more about understanding that when people do begin to fall off the wagon because maybe they had a life event, maybe they had a kid.
