 In this episode of Mind Pump, so for the first 44 minutes, we do our introductory fun time, current events, conversation, after that we get into the fitness portion of this episode. So we start out by talking about the new Dave Chappelle comedy special on Netflix. He takes all the third rails and jumps all over them. It was hot fire. One of my favorite comedians of all time. When we talked about the post I did on veganism, boy did it stir up some controversy with some people saying that the reason why I was saying that going vegan may not be a good idea for some people is because I'm sponsored by meat companies. Little do they know that our biggest sponsors organify the makers of vegan supplements that are extremely effective. Oh, and by the way, gold pumpkin spice juice is back. Gold juice is something you would drink in the evening to relax your body and reduce inflammation and it tastes absolutely delicious. Now organify makes other organic vegan based supplements. If you go to organify.com forward slash mind pump and use the code mind pump, you'll get 20% off all of their products. Then I talked about the fake followers are costing companies $1.3 billion. There's a little bit of an influencer bubble that seems to be popping popping at the moment. We talked about the social scoring system in Silicon Valley. It's kind of like China's except minus all that state authority. Let's get rid of the state killing people stuff. Then I talked about how the chili pad helps everybody sleep amazingly. And part of that beauty is the white noise that it creates and I talked about the science behind white noise and white helps people sleep. Now chili pads are pads that you put on your bed. They circulate water and they give you whatever ideal temperature you want. So I like to sleep at about 64 degrees where my bed is nice and cool. So that's what I said it at. Jessica likes to set her side at about 67 degrees like a good Arctic breeze. He likes to keep his freezing. We are sponsored by chili pads. So if you go to chili technology that C H I L I technology dot com forward slash mind pump, you can use the discount codes on the page for massive discounts. When I talked about the nuclear car, they've invented a car that runs on nuclear power. You never have to fuel it for 100 years. Kind of crazy. Hey, we talked about Aladdin the movie. We talked about how Disney is not doing the binge model. Apparently, they think it's more responsible to do so, which I think is kind of cool. And then I mentioned a study that showed how close relationships have major impacts on your health. Then we got in the fitness portion of this episode. The first question is yoga at home a few times a week good for mobility? Is that a good mobility plan? Next question. This person wants to know, how do you adjust your clients macros when they're consistently non-compliant? So how do you deal with people who don't do what you want them to do comply? Next question. How would you train clients who don't work out on their own? Nice extension from the first question that the question before and the final question. This person wants to know what's a profession that we value very highly, but we all think we could never do. Also, 48 hours left. That's it. There's only two days left for the MAPS Prime and MAPS Prime Pro 50% off sale. It's the first time we've ever put those programs at that big of a discount, and you only have two days left as of the dropping of this episode. Now remember, MAPS Prime is a program that helps you design your pre-workout priming session. This is a fancy term for a very effective warm-up. Now why is that important? Well, if you prime properly, you'll improve your mobility, your range of motion. In other words, you'll make your current workout far more effective. A lot of people also don't know that if you prime before an athletic event, you'll have better performance. So if you like to play basketball, if you're in competitions, if you're a grappler, a boxer, a football player, if you do a 15-minute individualized priming session before your competition, you'll have a better performance, and that's what MAPS Prime provides for you. Now MAPS Prime Pro is correctional exercise in nature. It takes all the major joints of the body, takes you through some tests. You identify your problems, and then you get the right exercises for your body to improve your mobility, reduce pain, and reduce your risk of injury. Again, both programs, 50% off. Here's what you do. Go to mapsfitnessproducts.com and use the code Prime 50. That's P-R-I-M-E-5-0 for the discount. No space. Do it now. Dude, that Dave Chappelle comedy show. Woo! That was masterful. He is the most... Maybe my favorite, dude. Do you know how many people he's pissing off right now? Maybe my favorite. Everybody. Have you read anything? Yes. Oh, you have. Yes. So Vice already wrote an article and basically told everybody skip it because he's so... No, we'll skip Vice. Yeah, fuck you guys. Yeah. Get out of here. He is offensive. He's a comedian. Duh. So the current climate, it's funnier to be offensive in my opinion. Tough. But he went hard. Yeah, he did. He took every third rail and had sex with it on stage. Yeah, he danced all over. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, no, for sure. He just paved the way. I think it was gonna come through. My favorite Dave Chappelle I've seen ever. I would say it's up there with some of his best stuff. I consider him, in my opinion, the best ever. The best stand-up comedian. I think it was his last one I wasn't a big fan of. I think his last one I was one of my least favorite ones he did. But this one was fire. Yeah. He's for me, the most brilliant stand-up comedian. He's the funniest. He kills me every single time. Yeah. Chris D'Elia is also hilarious. Yeah. Who's the other guy? I love David Tell. He's one of my favorites. No, Bill Burr is one of my favorites. Bill Burr is also hilarious. Also kills me. He's my favorite. But Chappelle is just so smart and brilliant the way he delivers. He nailed it for the times. He takes you on a ride with his jokes. You think he's going one way and you hear the audience agree with him. Yeah. But then at the end, he hits you with the reverse. Oh, yeah. And he pisses everybody off and then it makes you laugh. Oh, his pro-choice joke had me going. Oh, my God. I just thought that was so... I've never heard someone put that spin on it. I just fucking died. And I didn't know where you... This Michael Jackson talk got me crying. It was dying. He's the best. Well, speaking of controversy, how about Sal's controversy yesterday on the freaking Instagram post, dude? Wow. I didn't think it would cause that much controversy. I don't even think I said... You know, is that strong still? You know, like the vegan response. No. I was waiting for it forever. All I said on it was that I think that this huge trend to push everybody to not eat meat because it's bad is going to result in worse health because the average person just doesn't educate themselves on nutrition to begin with. So all they're going to do is cut meat out and replace it with probably processed foods. Like the average person diet, the only whole natural food that they tend to eat or that's on process tends to be the meats, eggs or chicken or milk. I'm going to cut it out and replace it with garbage. And that's all I said. And I didn't think I was that controversial, but oh my God, it was... I think it just... Flying. I think it just highlights what we've talked about on this show before that, you know, people are so dogmatic and religious about nutrition. They're irrational with it. It is so funny to me how we get so... Yeah, what's the word? Tribal. Yes, tribal with these diets, this made up thing. You know what I'm saying? Like I brought it up on the episode we did that, you know, nobody did diets before, you know? It was just food. Yeah, it was like, you just ate to survive, right? And now we've decided that, you know, there's these camps of... We're so wealthy that we can be like, you know what? I'm not going to eat all that food. Yeah. Because it's against my will. Right. And the people that I... You know, so many of them too, you can tell, you know, you did such a great job with creating the post with just the, you know, go vegan, horrible advice or whatever you say. They didn't read the post. Yeah, they didn't read the post because in there... And the same thing too. I was going in there and I was like, you know, I was just kind of poking at people laugh out loud or like the face palm thing because I didn't want to get into that with everybody on there. And just like, I can't believe that you guys are saying... And it's like, did you read the post? No. And have you listened to us talk about? Yeah. I mean, it's... And how about my favorite was the guy who threw the jab about a butcher box. Yeah, he goes, oh, of course you're going to say this about veganism, which by the way, I'm not against veganism. In fact, we say all the time how you can be healthy and eat a vegan diet. You just have to plan it well. But anyway, he goes, yeah, of course you're going to say that. You're sponsored by a meat company. And so Adam gets on there and he goes, Organify is our biggest sponsor by far. They're a vegan supplement company, like vegan protein powder and all that stuff. Yeah. Idiot. Incidentally shut up. They pay us like five times as much. Oh, yeah. No. But here's the thing though, that nobody is... You know, we don't have a dog in this fight. Nobody is paying us enough money to get us to change our message on how we talk about anything. You can't. And even though we talk about ButcherBox and Organify and products like that, we always say, well, ButcherBox is Whole Foods, but we're always pitching people to go for Whole Foods All-National. We'll always stick to that message. That's the most ideal thing. Yeah. And we like... Look, Organify is a vegan company. If you look at all their products, they are plant-based. It's part of their brand. They have a protein powder that's vegan. I can't have dairy personally. Adam and Justin can have dairy. Justin in particular has no issues with it. All day long. Or at least he thinks he doesn't have issues with it. Milk and cheese and milk and cheese. All day long. Toilet might disagree. Yeah. No, but all joking aside. Deal with the toilet. I can't have whey protein. And so when we initially worked with... Or we're talking about working with a company for supplements, that was one of the big things. It's like, I can't promote something I can't use. I won't do that. And Organify came to us. I mean, you know, vegan protein powder. It tastes really good. It's got great ingredients. Oh, it's the best, in my opinion, it's the best vegan protein powder that's out there. It is. It's very, very well made. But it's funny that people think that we're biased because we work with a meat company when our biggest sponsors... Well, they're just looking for something. Yeah, and it's just not true. And you can't... Look, here's the thing. And sponsors know that... And they've learned their lesson with us. Sponsors now leave us alone. They let us do our thing. But in the early days, sponsors would try to get us to change what we said or when we're like, we will do the opposite of what you say if you try to tell us what to do. Well, we're just going to be honest. There's this, you know, obviously podcasting is gaining traction and popularity. And, you know, the normal formula for most people that are podcasters, you know, they build a network up and advertising is their main source of revenue. And something that when we built this originally, we built it with the intention of not really advertising at all and that was never going to be... That was never part of the business plan. Well, and still today, it's less than 20% of the revenue that Mind Pump makes. So it's not... It'll never be a thing that drives us and makes us talk a certain way. And we all agreed on that. And I'm glad we built it that way. We could get rid of all advertising sponsors and we'd still be fine. The business would continue on and we'd be totally okay. One of the things I value most about the new media space, which includes podcasting that also includes things like, you know, YouTube and writing your own content through the internet, is that you don't have major barriers, corporate barriers like you used to. Like in the past, if I wanted to do a radio show with you guys, if we wanted to start a radio show, we would have to go through... We'd have to be on a channel that would have their own corporate sponsors and we would have to talk a certain way and promote certain things. Otherwise they would never... Our show would not exist. We came out hard against most of what people preach. There's no way in hell anybody would have had us on. So we value that freedom more than anything. So if we work with a sponsor, you better believe it's because we actually like their product and what they're all about. And if the day we don't, I don't care how much money they're paying us, we can tell them to kick rocks. It wouldn't work. There's no way it happened. But yeah, I couldn't believe the controversy in there was pretty funny. But there were a few dietitians, registered dietitians that were on there that were like, no, the points you make are totally accurate. Some of the points I made had to do with potential nutrient deficiencies that you just have to pay attention to. When you eat vegan, you just have to pay attention to these nutrient deficiencies that can pop up and often do for a lot of people. And that's why you need to do a lot of really careful planning and sometimes supplementation. I know most or many of my friends who are vegan athletes and vegan fitness experts all recommend that they, their clients in themselves take at least vitamin B12. That's one of the main ones. I feel like you should follow, I feel like you should follow the post up with a almost identical one, but for carnivore diet. Just to fuck with all of them, just like make their heads explode. Oh my God, wait a minute, does it make sense? See, then you go back to the Dave Chappelle. That'd be like the perfect setup for that. Like you get such a polarizing contrast, you know, with the setup and then the punchline. You should, you should write a post on the other side because I think that, again, we would say the same thing. I think that's horrible advice for most people. I don't think most people should be on a 100% carnivore diet whatsoever. It just highlights how emotional and irrational, you know, people are these days. That's why I loved it so much because it just, it was playing with the most taboo topics and just throwing it at you. I know this is gonna upset you, but like look how ridiculous that is. Yeah, totally. It's getting so out of control though. I'm a little, I'm a little nervous about like how crazy it's, I mean the documentary, what the health I felt was like the beginning of it, like getting crazy and I thought it would slow down after a lot of people spoke out about that and I know like our buddies like Lane Norton came out and did a whole YouTube on how terrible what the health was. But you know what? It's still missed a lot of people and I see it in my own family. What's happening now for the first time ever and I've never seen this before is I've never, diets have always been kind of religious. People have always treated nutrition in that way. It's always been, especially if you're in health and fitness. But they weren't politically motivated like they are now. No, it's the first time I've ever seen a diet be politicized. I've never seen a diet be politicized. It's never been, and the reason why it's being politicized is they're connecting it to it being better for the environment, which the science will show you it's far more complicated than that and you can actually eat vegan practices that are worse for the environment than someone who's an omnivore and vice versa. But the fact that it's getting politicized means it's just you're going to get more divisiveness and more you're the enemy, I'm not the enemy because I eat a particular way and you eat a particular way and it's just crazy to me. It's insane to me that that's happened. But you know these days everything, everything's becoming politicized. Your fricking, your razors are politicized. Your shaving cream is politicized. The car you buy, like it's insane to me. There's much football without it having politicized. Like what the fuck? Get out of here. There's a lot of media out there and social media just making it become more a bigger part of our life. I was talking to this woman who works with children. She's an expert on child psychology and I asked her what she thought about the exploding rise of depression and anxiety among children, which is kind of weird. If you look at statistics on anxiety and depression and those types of feelings, the age group that is experiencing the fastest upswing is the age group that historically has never had problems with those things which are children. Children typically have the lowest rates of anxiety and depression and yet they're the ones that are experiencing the highest acceleration of those things and it's connected or at least it matches up and correlates with the rise of the use of smart technology like smart phones and stuff. So I thought it must be because they're distracted all the time so I told her that and I said do you think it has to do with all the technology and smart phones? She says yes but not what people think. She says when we were kids we had no idea about the world's troubles. Like when you were a kid did you watch the news? No. Kids did not watch the news. The news is boring as fuck, no kids are constantly being informed either through social media and it might not be a news that they're following but it might be their favorite celebrity that says climate change is going to kill us all or oh my god there's another shooting on the other side of the country or look what's happening and so they're just getting inundated with so much of this information around the world and the part that makes us anxious is there's nothing you can do about it but worry. You know what I'm saying? Especially if you're a kid you feel helpless in all these platforms. So a majority of the conversations are probably stupid conversations that are being had on social media platforms. So I think that's why everything's feeling like it's getting politicized is because we're on all these social platforms. How many people follow politics before? Not very many but now everybody does because they're just talking about it. I wonder if it's going to get so ridiculous that people just stop. It just gets played out. Maybe if we're just in this social media bubble right now because it's so cool it's so great to be connected and then in like 10 years from now people will like shame you if you are like oh you're on Instagram and Facebook really? You spend your time doing that? You think it could go that way? Look at the influencer bubble. We just talked about this. Influencers are losing their power. I was just reading something like a statistic that was talking about companies that invest in influencers and how the fake followers have actually something like 1.3 billion dollars because they put all this money into oh this person has a lot of influence because of the numbers that they look at and you know this fake engagement and all this stuff that they're promoting but it's not real. They're not getting any conversions and they're losing a lot of money by investing in these people. I don't know if that's a sign though of potentially social media bubble popping and more so just I think more people are aware. I think more people are savvy to you know oh this is the new hustle now. Everybody wants to be a YouTube star and Instagramer and get big enough and then partner with companies and sell products. I think it just shows its impact is not what it once was and that's what I mean by the bubble is kind of popping. Like you look at like... The values drop because of that. Look at the big pages from a few years ago and look at their engagement now. I was just telling you guys I mean I just Brad Castleberry popped up in my 4 page and I hadn't looked at that kid in forever and you know he's got like he's approaching close to a million followers and I mean his likes he gets a few thousand likes. He gets less than 100 comments and I'm like oh my god that just that's crazy. He doesn't add up the ratio to that. Yeah I just think that a ton of people you know what happens with things like that and I at least this is what I think because this is what happens how I do it like a buddy sends me somebody's page and it's like hilarious. Like it's a hilarious meme or it's something and maybe you look at a second one they have on their page and they're like oh this is funny or like you see someone like him as an example doing some crazy feat. He's super fast or he's super strong and then you follow just as out of a reaction. Like oh that's interesting I wonder if you'll post something else like that again and then you never pay attention again but you're still following him. So I think that... Yeah you haven't unfollowed. Yeah that happens to a lot of people that you know are following these type of people that use like headlines or gimmicks to get quick attention you get the quick attention you get the follow from somebody but nobody really gives a shit you know until you do something goofy enough or silly enough for me to share with my friend I ain't real and then and that I'm just paying attention I'm really not listening to anything you have to say. You're not giving me value you're not really influencing me in any real way. Yeah staying on this topic though I was a fast company had an article like because we talked a long time ago about like China's social scoring system that they had implemented and like we were all a little like worried about that in terms of like the state sort of controlling and manipulating the population by you know rewarding them for things and then also like taking things away and so they're saying that like there's also elements of that in Silicon Valley which is kind of obvious after I read through it quite a bit but a couple of them stuck out one of them was like insurance companies can actually go through like your social media and like Instagram and everything and see pictures of like things that like present high risk situation driving and talking on your and we're literally just feeding it to them and so it's like lowering you know the chances you're gonna get a good rate and also like on the other end of it kind of rewarding people who are doing good things. So isn't there an insurance company that is that's doing this now I thought I saw a commercial for this where you can opt into this thing that basically allows them to monitor everything they can track like your speed that you're driving because your phone's on you oh yeah and then it can track like the speed the cars all the information yeah plug it into the car so yeah I don't know how it works but I thought I saw a company saying that the whole pitch was like you shouldn't pay for insurance that you don't need and you know so if you're not a high-risk driver and you only drive this speed limit you you don't break the laws and like you but you have to submit like the approval for them to gain access to that's interesting but social wise I mean they're going I mean to go further with this too like they have like bars and restaurants and stuff where they actually have like a like a service where if you come in and they they give you a score at the end of the at the end of the night based on like if you were like you know like an asshole you know they're like they didn't want you to come back and so they would like flag you and so all this gets thrown into the software and so they can actually use this information now and like cross-reference other restaurants and things if you're like a patron that's a problem you know and so that this is all happening within the private sector and so I love it the yeah the the difference being so the massive difference being one is state run has those initiatives versus like private like I get to use these amenities and these things you know that private companies I don't mind I don't mind if it's private as long you know that along they don't have the power to jail me or legislate or you know whatever I'm all good I think it's brilliant I think it's a very very cool way of getting great service if you're a good patron and if you're a shit you know but then you stay home you know I mean people will know about it but people and it used to be that way here's the thing when societies were tight and small that's how it was you if you fucked up at the tavern everybody knew because it was one tavern right in the whole town right so I don't mind this at all come a pariah exactly yeah exactly you know it's being of companies it's interesting you just remind me something I'm curious if you guys know and I want to Doug wanted knows this company too I just came up you guys familiar with a company called our like Al no W L E R yeah me either until just recently and they've been popping up the CEOs based here out of San Mateo but I find it interesting what what what they're doing and I'm curious to see how well it's going and if it takes off but it seems like it's a almost like a Wikipedia type of platform for businesses meaning I mean you could get on there and you can put us in there even you can put any random company and it's it's crowdsourced right so that to prove it like how Wikipedia is right Wikipedia is just a collection of everybody put putting in and it's getting more accurate more accurate more accurate to where now it you there crowd sourced right it's now it's considered a reliable source right but when it first started it was just like a probably a few people on there putting their two cents on whatever they're wicking well this hour one is it for it's for businesses so you can look up you want to know revenue that a company's making you want to know how many employees they are how they entreat their employees they have a rating for the CEO that's cool yeah I know it's kind of cool so and it shows you how many people are following and contributing so like for example there's not a lot of people I don't think we have hardly anybody if anybody that's following mine pump and actually contributing to this because we're a small company and there's probably not a lot of people like you go get on there with Amazon and it gives you you know thousands of people are contributing to this you can get a pretty good I was messing around and looking at companies that I was actually intrigued by and I didn't know I was curious like I wonder how big they are like I think through this big and I hear this about them but you know I started putting those companies in there and gives you like an estimation of their annual revenue it gives you an estimation of their employees it gives you a CEO rating what people are rating the CEO like that's awesome yeah more transparency but bringing it from the outside well it's awesome too because it's great for it's great for the market it's great for people looking for work right you see that's what I thought was cool like you see a company that I was really interested in working for these my input media guys but then you see like what's the perception the CEO gets a 40 rating you know maybe I don't want to go work for these guys that's cool though he's really moody yeah anyway so check this out so I was reading this article the other day that I thought was fascinating I wanted to bring to your guys attention so I was noticing that with the oolar the chili pad though the the sound that it makes is kind of that white noise and I was noticing that the noise also helps me sleep oh bro here's something funny so you check this out okay so I think I told you guys this I've been sleeping on the bed for the last like month right so that's kind of like my new home yeah it's my new home and I go down about midnight or so I head downstairs and I say sleep down there where it's about 10 degrees cooler than it is upstairs and what Katrina does is and I didn't know this till the day because I asked her I'm like why is the the oolar on because I'm not she's on my side of the bed right so she doesn't use the oolar on her side I use it on my side because I need it to be a lot like a couple mornings I've come up and she's like no like everybody sleeps better she's like the baby sleeps better with the humming of the oolar and so does mazzi so mazzi lays his head down sleeps right next to the thing and so does and the baby and the baby loves the the sound she goes she goes I've noticed like I turned it off one of the nights back when you weren't in the room and it was one of the worst nights that he slept he was fussy all night long and she's like and then she goes I don't know correlation or what oh no there's science to support this so there's two ways obviously that the the chili pad or the oolar helps with sleep obviously that the main one is it keeps your bed at the temperature that you like to sleep best and so for most people it's cool I like I'm about 64 degrees Jessica's about 67 degrees on the bed I think what he put yours out like 59 I'm just low I'm all the way down all the way down so just keeps it cool and it keeps your body temperature down you sleep but then there's the white noise that it makes as the as the machine is the water through the pad and I'm like you know I know there's white noise machines that people buy specifically to sleep like you and people do this for kids all the time my kids sleep they have to sleep that's what made me remember because the couple times we've gone on vacation together with our kids you'll go in the in the kids room and you'll turn on a white noise machine to help them sleep so I'm like I wonder what the science is to support this because so many people talk about it so I looked it up and apparently while you're sleeping your brain is still processing sound because obviously you know you got to be on the lookout for predators that's how we evolved so your brain is still processing sound but what it what it will alert you to isn't necessarily sound as much as its changes in sound you see what I'm saying yeah it's the big changes yeah it's the inconsistency in sound and what white noise does is it masks all the sounds of the house and it makes them all sound your brain perceives it as everything being the same still in silent basically so you're you're gonna sleep very very good rather than it's silent in the house then the house creaks a little bit not that loud but because it's a change you ever happen you were sleeping and the house moves a little bit and you wake up you know or something drips and you wake up or whatever white noise masks all that and it so keeps your brain processing in the sense that it thinks that the sounds are all level in the same so grab so it helps you sleep both ways those two different way I think we're definitely getting our money's worth all laying on the pad it's actually being ran inside my room right now to help make me the dog dude I sleep so hard I use I sleep so hard with that thing crazy great anyway so I know you know we were we've been I brought up nuclear power a couple times on the podcast when we're talking about clean energy and how that's actually a very clean form of energy so this company created a car I'm gonna bring it up right now so I don't mess this up this company created a car that's nuclear reactor nuclear powered that'll run for 100 years without ever having to get refueled how the hell I mean I used to be like huge I've been saying this forever though that the whole automobile industry is a big fucking scam I mean the fact that we can build a spaceship dude to go to the fucking moon and back and be able to handle that makes me go like how can we not only last five years yeah we can't build an engine to go 100,000 miles come on get the fuck out of here well so this company's called laser power systems and they created a concept for a car that's powered by thorium so thorium it's a radioactive element and here's the thing about thorium that's really cool I don't think or I I'm almost positive you can't turn it into weapon grade nuclear material so in other words we got to put that out there you know and this is no and this is good because this is good because you go as God to get that where's that place where as car as go real yeah no you know why this is good gives a motor because a lot of times the US will and other countries will oppose other countries attempts at creating nuclear power for themselves and one of the the the reasons why we oppose it is because they can take that material or the same technology and then create a nuclear weapon well thorium I believe you can't do that it's just used for energy but anyway check this out this is kind of crazy so it's so dense that just a small sample of it packs 20 million times more energy than a similarly sized sample of coal that's how much energy is in 20 million 20 million times wow in fact if you said here if you created a turbine made from this material that was a size of an air conditioning unit okay that alone would power a whole restaurant hotel or maybe even a small town to show you just how much powers in the same so just to show you the power of nuclear power if we were really to go after it without fear or whatever with our technology how ugly is this car oh well the car looks all weird and what is your what's your thoughts on us eventually going this direction I think we might have to do you think so I think we do I think it's political suicide right now that's the car oh there is that brought it up whoa yeah it's very futuristic yeah I know I think it's political suicide right now because people are afraid of nuclear they think it's dirtier than other forms of energy when it's not it's actually far cleaner people you know we have memories of things like Chernobyl or Fukushima power plant what happened to the earthquake yeah and you know that type of danger and then of course nuclear we know nuclear bombs and nuclear war but this thorium might be the might be the answer and if we're able to educate the population I mean I feel like any company that could afford to do this right they already have the access to the nuclear power and could technically build a bomb anyways right I think that we we are keeping anybody who actually is a threat and a force from having nuclear power it's definitely a lot there's a lot of countries don't have a nuclear power or nuclear weapon a lot of countries don't that we know of yeah like Iran Iran is going after it and they have for a long time and they haven't they haven't detonated anything it's it's a big problem but it's kind of fascinating right you imagine that having a car that you never would that's it you buy it and it's gonna always it's yeah that's it you're done or you or you get these power plants that are you know like I said the size of an air conditioning unit and it powers you know your neighborhood off of that you just hook up to that one thing and your whole neighborhoods power what do you think do you think that we would see if we could have that's interesting because cars of like they've almost changed into they're not just a necessity they're like a luxury item for sure you know so like trends and even like they're even the automobile industry's been so smart to you know what is it about every five years or so then the next model comes out you know it's and so even if you had a car you could buy today that would last you the next 30 to 40 years yeah you know would you and we had a style right no really though I mean think about that that's true like would it would it work that's true I what I think would be maybe cars that are electric that you charge by when the charging stations are powered you just buy bodies for it yeah oh maybe yeah you put it over the shell yeah like the old school cars that used to play with you in your remote control cars it's like a funny car like yeah here's what else here's what else of that article said that it said that thorium and the technology of using thorium is so good in terms of the radio activity that it produces that you could shield the radio activity with a thin piece of aluminum so that's it's all you need yeah so it's like super safe did you guys happen to read the the articles that I sent late last night did you guys get that the drugs normally up with me I was okay so last night I watched I watched Disney's Aladdin with Will Smith oh I saw that so did you read did you see the article I did I saw the title I didn't read it though so I thought this was interesting so I'm watching it now Aladdin was something that I watched a thousand times growing up because I have a little sister and brother and that was like popular during and you know you guys obviously know you have kids so you know kids at a certain age I don't remember what ages is it somewhere between probably two and six right like a billion times yeah I kid it's like on repeat right so Aladdin was one of those things as a kid growing up that I remember I vividly remember like all about it like as far as like the little details and I'm watching this one with Katrina and we're laying there and I'm like you know that it's musical right it's Disney so it's got all the was it was well-made wasn't it yeah it was done well yeah it was done very well but it got a lot of heat though it only got there's controversy around it right and but I didn't know any of this yet so I'm watching it because it's Will Smith and I like Disney and I'm watching and I was curious when I clicked on it that it was only it only got like a 56% on like Rotten Tomatoes whatever which is pretty low especially for a Disney movie so anyways I'm watching it and about halfway through she starts singing a song that is not one of the songs right so every other song added a song they added a song and I'm listening to the lyrics and I'm like it's a total like I am woman hear me roar yeah like an empowering yeah and so of course that sent me down the rabbit hole I started googling right away like you know Aladdin controversy Aladdin song added and all and then that's the articles that I sent over to you guys and they did so they they inserted this this song and it was to counter the original Latin so the original Latin had a part in there where she's singing songs and you know the men are dancing around her and her voices being drowned it out by by their voices their voices are much more powerful and that you can't hear hers and you know she's being drowned by sand in this little time thing and so they wanted to you know counter that or you know have a message that was interesting I thought that was really interesting and what I wanted to talk to you guys about and it started this you know you know 11 o'clock at night dialogue between Katrina and I on if I'm pro it or not and you know I find it interesting well the classic I guess the person inside of me that appreciates classics oftentimes I get a little annoyed when they change a classic because that's the one that I identified with because when I was a kid it was Aladdin the cartoon so it's like you change it like what are you doing you're changing my favorite you know my favorite cartoon but then there's the other side of me that's like you know that's just that's pop culture that's what we've always done we've always taken old things and made them a little bit different to make them maybe more marketable or so here are my thoughts on refresh here my thoughts on I love Disney as a company altogether I think that this is I like if you're going to make a message right if you're going to send a message you know I think that's a very tasteful way to do it right to incorporate this song that's you know it's not hardcore political it probably went over 90 doesn't change the story it doesn't change the story completely but it you know it does it empowers her more it shares it's basically highlights that she can be strong and independent and it's like okay so there's the side of me that's like that's cool like I think that's a good message for young girls growing up right now and I think that's that's tasteful and a neat way to do it then I have the other side of me that's like you sal that's like well fuck man you're it's it's it's a different you're changing you're changing it like you're changing a classic that you that was like a super famous cartoon that was huge and a great story and so that side of me is just like well then how long do we keep doing that and like you know a hundred years from now you won't even know the original story because we're going to bastardize the shit out of it because of everyone's offended over all these little things and my thought was I'm I'm pro the message that she's giving but then I thought is like then create a whole new cartoon create a different show that gives that message and that's a great way that Disney can highlight what they're trying to say or communicate to the the younger generation and stay on pop culture from a business and that's a massive hit for them they're just like refurbishing one little thing to you know bring to the public again so in terms of money I would think that's a lot easier for them than creating an entire new storyline and stories have always done that this is not a new phenomenon stories always have changed through the generations to reflect the current generation or erase something that might not be as palatable like for example remember Ring Around the Rosie or that song with your friends Ring Around the Rosie pocketful that song is about the plague this plague right yeah everybody dying that whole song is about the plague it's about all the symptoms of getting the plague it's about carrying flowers in your pants to hide the smell of the dead and we all fall down ashes we all fall down we all die and but when we were kids I had no idea yeah was that fun I had no idea that's what it was about right stories have been changing for it's never going to stop it's just a reflection it and they're just making it more maybe they're trying to make it more palatable yeah I know I've read something too like I don't know if it was I mean somebody that was overseeing like you know the Star Wars franchise and Marvel and then you know also the princess sort of you know the whole thing with Disney it was just kind of looking back into those those things and like especially with the princess thing like how can we you know portray you know so it's not so they're meek and you need help saving all the time I think that was like a big initiative that they're trying to address the thing that I mean I hear I like that I appreciate that because I think Disney is I love Disney because I think Disney does it they're they do it just right I feel like it that's what it was that created the great conversation and I was like you know most of the times I think I would be not a fan of this of like changing a message just to fit the climate currently today and stuff but I think Disney did it in a very tasteful way that most people probably didn't even see it and it went over them and I said I think that's that's pretty cool I even I love right now too what Disney is doing to address addiction to the binge watching why everybody else that's in the business of watching Netflix series and who yeah doing things like that it's I mean it would be advantageous for the company to get right in line with everybody else and drop in the whole season at once yes and promote the binging but they recognize the behaviors behind that is that why they're not doing I know I read a go that's what they said you got to wait a week just like the old model so I thought that they would they would do that because maybe it's a better model in terms of getting people to watch your show anticipate it talk about you're saying it's because they don't like binging yes great wow yeah so I think that's I think that's really neat that you know it's probably it probably would be better for them business wise to promote binging and the addiction to watching the shows nonstop like that but you know part of their model is they're going to release it the same way like HBO and showtime part of me is a little bit like because the Mandalorian I just watched a trailer for that we got like a super pumped and so I'm gonna have to wait week by week for the episodes well if you think about it you know imagine your kids watching the Disney Network and just binge watching 15 episodes of a show that's out and crying because you want to turn it off probably right you're probably right it's not a good look yeah I mean yeah so now it's like oh honey the next episode is not out until next week or whatever no I just think that's I mean again highlighting unhealthy behavior why I like the company I think the smart they take a lot of things into consideration they have real tasteful ways to go about it I mean again why I love Disney I'm pro Disney so smart I was reading on longevity and health the other day as well and I was shocked to find how important close relationships and the people around you are to your longevity it's actually a major factor in your health and longevity a major factor it's one of the most consistent thing they find with centenarians and the article that I found showed that there was something like I'm going to pull it up here because it was it was insane that the research is showing something like a 50% oh here it is one study found that a lack of strong relationships increase the risk of premature premature death from all causes by 50% 50% the effect on mortality 50 so not having is a lot 50 so not having good relationships in your life is roughly comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and worse for you than obesity and being inactive so being it's actually worse for you than being obese now that's crazy to me yes wow and I mean it just goes to show like why things like why we're so tribal why religion exists why we have groups we're such social creatures why the Geneva convention says that you know isolating a prisoner is a cruel and unusual punishment you know it's crazy how big of an impact it has on our health and here's the reason why I'm communicating the reason why I think this is this is crazy and why I brought this up right now on this episode is because oftentimes people who are fanatical about their fitness and are obsessed with their body do so at the expense of the relationships with their friends and family they're so obsessed with their diet they're so obsessed with their workouts that they don't have lots of friends that they lose relationships with significant others and they all think that they're making themselves healthy when in reality they're actually doing themselves far worse they probably would be better off not working out that much and having good relationships what a great fucking point but this is why we talk about though when making decisions about a food like eating a piece of cake like sometimes it's actually healthy and that may sound crazy because of the connection when it is in that situation I tell you what one way to lose friends really quick is go to a bunch of social events and be the asshole eating out of his plastic container all the time or you never can go out people stop inviting you you're not going to invite the guy to dinner all the time I'm always carrying the plastic container around and you're no fun to be around and eat and drink and have a good time really building fitness world lose a boyfriend or girlfriend or get divorced because they're literally so obsessed with working out and nutrition that they don't nurture their relationship and then their argument is well this is good for me it's healthy it justifies it they justify their obsession it's actually not it's actually not good for you relationships actually rank higher than a lot of the other health practice you guys are the closest bodybuilder friends I've ever had just so you know they don't do well with me alright our first question is from apple saucy 714 is simple yoga at home a few times a week a good mobility plan you know what it's been a while since I think we address this and I'm glad whoever picked this question I think this is a good question to talk about because that's probably one of the number one things that clients that I used to talk to about mobility would get confused they'd be like oh I'd say oh yeah I know we need to work on your mobility oh yeah no I do my yoga every Saturday yeah and we're all very pro-yoga right I want to make that clear before I explain this that I think yoga is an incredible practice I think that if you have the time to fit it into your schedule I think it's awesome but I also think that a big part of why I think it's awesome is more for the meditative side of it more so than like the corrective or joint health side of it which let me explain when you go through a yoga class it is it's very generic the whole entire class the drawback of all classes right exactly it's the same drawback that you would do with any classes it's not addressing your specific needs and you know when I'm training a client I got 10 different clients I have 10 different clients sitting in front of me and all 10 of them are very very different and all 10 of them have now there's some general exercises or mobility movements that I teach all of them because they all could use it for example you know a lizard with rotation or a 90-90 tends to be a go-to for all of them they all tend to lack good hip mobility it's just very common as we age we just don't move in the transverse plane anymore and so you know doing 90-90 rotation which also addresses a little thoracic mobility those two tend to kind of cover everybody but then there's a lot of other little nuances in their specific movements where they lack and that I would look at and go okay you know she needs to be doing more of this and I would prescribe to her I say listen I want you to do let's say the combat stretch you need to be doing that one every day three times a day more joint specific yeah because let's say her ankle mobility is horrible is just he's an engineer and he's on the computer all day long and his is like thoracic mobility he has the rounded shoulders so like handcuffed to rotation I'm like he's got to do that one like crazy now that's the problem with yoga is it's like you kind of get this broad stroke of all these different movements that are not specific to the person not only that but they are stationary static stretching for the most part depending on what you have and the goal is to end up getting into the pose so I have to counter a little bit of that because yoga done properly yoga is an active there's a lot of active stretching that's going on if you talk to most yoga instructors and it depends on the yoga if you're doing a yin yoga there's some static stretches but which is the most popular one by the way no vinyasa flow classes are the most popular ones are they? yeah absolutely when you do a vinyasa type class and you're doing it with a good instructor they are when it comes to cues I'll say this right and I'll stand by this all day long when it comes to queuing people yoga instructors are the best in the business the best group instructors in the world at queuing people to move their position scoop your hips tuck your tailbone look up tall the way they are able to queue is so good if you're a trainer take a yoga class to learn just the cues alone because I think they're phenomenal well because the class is so slow paced where every little incremental movement they can kind of capture and describe in better detail that's why I love that of all the group exercise type classes yoga focuses the most on form it's the only one that I don't think should die I talk about a group class training should die for the most part but yoga is something that generally speaking anybody and everybody that takes yoga it's going to be good for you and you are active in the poses so you are getting functional flexibility you are getting mobility in terms of group exercise classes it's the best mobility type group exercise class I think they're phenomenal but the drawback is like what Adam's saying the drawback with the yoga class is the same drawback you would get with any group class it's general and not individualized individualized mobility training is superior because it's for you it's just for your individual body mobility movements to correct your particular issues and problems this is one of the major challenges we had when we created both maps prime and prime pro the big big challenge I remember when we created maps prime we all went off to I think it was Reno we got ourselves a place out in the nowhere and we all sat there and we were stuck for almost two days on how we could create an element that would allow people to individualize their mobility and priming work like how can you do that we're selling a program that everybody could buy we could put general mobility stuff in there but then that's not what we're all about how can we individualize this this is so crazy because when I assess a client there's all kinds of things I look at and how am I going to teach the average person to do that so we had to come up with something that was totally breakthrough and revolutionary that does not exist in the industry except for in maps prime which is a compass test that allows the person to test their body and then identify how their individual body needs to be primed and the individual mobility movements they need to do on their own body maps prime pro does the same thing but it's individual tests for each of the major joints and that's the value of mobility work the value mobility work is how it's individualized because that's where you're going to get the most benefit so my clients that like love the yoga classes and then have asked me like okay well then what do I do for my mobility time or what should I do instead of my yoga class and that's exactly I direct them to prime pro and I say and I normally start with them to keep it simple pick you know three to five tops of the movements out of there that you fail at the worst that you struggle with the most okay pick three five tops and literally spend an entire hour working on those movements just like you were in a yoga class breathe take your time yes connect use and do the movements with intent you're not trying to just move through it fast so make it meditative like a yoga class you know enjoy it relax while you're doing it between movements but spend the entire hour on those three to five movements man you do that and the value is incredible well you're getting every bit of the value you get from the yoga class and a ton more because it's specific to you well think about it this way okay all your exercises your whole workout has the value that it's providing you but there's also a potential of value that it could provide you okay and often times the potential of value you can get from your workout is much more than what you're actually getting at your workout in other words if it were if we put this in terms of points let's say your total workout your exercises could provide you with a hundred points of value but because your range of motion isn't great because you lack mobility to do full ranges of motion because you're not connecting to your body in optimal ways maybe you're only getting seventy percent at or seventy points out of that workout that's the value of mobility work it literally makes your current workouts far more effective I notice this with clients through yoga okay and by the way you can do this with yoga if you take a yoga class the poses that are the hardest for you to do practice those at home right that means you're probably you're addressing individual issues for yourself so if you like to take yoga classes and you're like okay how can I individualize this a little bit besides having a higher yoga instructor just to teach me think of the hardest poses that you get into like whatever it could be any pose it could be warrior one and like okay when I do warrior one my neck gets tight my shoulders get tight I'm not able to hold that position practice that one at home all the time and you'll get some of that individualized success that you can get from individualized mobility training think of mobility as purely it's strength training at the end of the day like I in terms of flexibility training there's there's specific times where I'm like highlighting that with my clients but for the most part if you're talking about a good mobility plan it is it's you want to you want to make it so you're really connecting by you know tensing up the muscle and making it into an actual active strength type of an exercise so if you come in with that mentality and you're bringing in like those tough poses that for a reason are giving you a hard time because you're not as strong and connected in that area of your body you know you're going to do yourself a lot more justice well I remember the first couple of times I took yoga I had a completely my I had so many misconceptions about it so I took the class and I thought okay we're going to get in these poses and we're going to kind of stretch and stay in these poses no man the instructor walked around was like you know I'm standing in this pose that looks passive but it's not you know push your feet apart or bring your feet in drive the energy out through your fingertips drive energy through your head really what they were teaching me to do through yoga is a lot of how we teach people to use to do priming movements you don't just sit in 90 90 it's all about the intent yes you're not just sitting in 90 90 you're sitting in 90 90 but you're creating energy up through your spine down through your knees could be massively productive or worthless totally depending on your mentality 100% next question is from Michitec how do you adjust your clients macros when they are consistently non-compliant more good questions this is a good one even for just for yourself so as a trainer this is something that it took me a little while to learn but I had to realize that what I thought the client was getting in terms of value sometimes was inaccurate in other words if I had somebody show up and train with me twice a week and they were still eating like crap they weren't working out on their own they weren't following my advice when they went around I would get very frustrated early on and sometimes I think to myself I'm not going to train this client anymore fuck it but then I realized something they're coming two days a week that two days a week with me is way more than what they would be doing without me so there is some value that they're getting and so when you have clients that are non-compliant back off it's not time to talk about nutrition sometimes too part of the non-compliance is this is what I have found sometimes we throw too much at the client too soon you get somebody who has no idea about nutrition and doesn't care about macros that's why they hired you is they want you to do most of the work for them I really like this question this is actually more common than you would think we all talk about breaking down macros and what's the best diet all day long but this type of question is what I really like because this is real life right here this is what really normally happens the reason why they're way out of shape is because they don't give a shit about this stuff and they don't want to take the discipline and time to do that and so as a trainer you had to learn ways to get creative how do I get this person to become compliant if they fail every time I give them a diet they won't follow it so you need to learn to give them much smaller, simpler goals and build upon that and this is how the evolution of adding to the diets that is subtracting started for me I had such a hard time of taking someone completely change their diet and it sounds so counter right like you're adding things we're talking about a weight loss person somebody who needs to lose 100 pounds saying no, don't have McDonald's no, don't do that, I'm not telling them any of that shit I'm saying I want you to have this every day can we commit to that so let's example we use vegetables to start with but I would build upon that so a lot of times somebody who eats a lot of bad food is eating a lot of processed stuff doing a lot of fast food they're not getting a lot of their vegetables and fruits so that always would be the first easy one can you commit to me to having a cup of berries a day or can you add one giant salad every single day and they're like okay, I could do that and that's all we speak to until they're consistent with that and they're constantly doing that and what ends up happening is when they do that, it ends up replacing something else in the diet that was probably not as good for them as that cup of berries or that big ass salad and they make that decision themselves you're not taking anything from them consistently then I go like okay I have a new challenge for us this is what I want us to do again, I'm not going to tell you you can't have any of these things but can we commit to eating 12 ounces total a day of a lean meat you can choose chicken, you can do fish you can do turkey I just want to commit to 12 out basically two times in the day you're going to eat a meat that's a lean meat and okay, yeah I could do that and so you get them to do that and now replacing something else that would not be ideal for and you start to build in these better habits and you're kind of tricking the client into getting them into eating and having better eating behaviors and a better relationship with food and it's a very clever way to do it without them feeling like they're having to follow this diet people need to realize just how brilliant what you're saying is and this is why when I go and I talk to trainers and try to communicate to them and I talk to trainers the thing I focus on is communication because what Adam is saying might be counter you might be thinking they need to take all the garbage out of their diet they need to reduce their calories but it doesn't work and I don't mean it doesn't work in the sense that if they did that it wouldn't work of course if they did that it would work but that doesn't work because people don't do that it's a very ineffective way of communicating how to change your nutrition what Adam is saying to get people to change their nutrition and so that's a great point that you bring up maybe your clients are non-compliant because the way you're selling it is wrong and that's exactly what you're doing you're selling better nutrition to your client and when someone buys it they have to buy it I wish there was a sort of a belt system like they have in martial arts for trainers because I could identify them right away based off their mentality with their client of what they're trying to achieve with their client versus being a behavioral manager and why we always stress the point of all these things like processed food what worries us about that and artificial sugars and all these types of things that yes on paper and in lab settings you can make arguments for it doesn't do much harm versus what we actually see in our client's behaviors and how it alters that and how can we peer into that that client even further what the domino sequence is going to be after that so if you present them with that really impactful domino ahead of time maybe you have to really put the work upon yourself to reduce the amount of information that you've received over decades going through fitness and health and nutrition knowledge and what you can present then that's going to have the most impact without any of the confusion alongside it no no very very well said extremely well said and that's I think the absolute most important thing is how can and do this for yourself here's a big one this is a very very big one now patience I had to learn patience as a personal trainer I had a guy who I trained who wanted to lose 50 pounds and it took him three years to lose 35 pounds three years now you know what happened after he lost that 35 pounds in three years took him into the six months to lose the rest of the weight and then he never gained it back now the old version of me when I was the new trainer that would have been way too slow but then I started to understand look we're dealing with behaviors that take a long time this person's had these behaviors for decades and I'm trying to change that in a month you know I'm going to be a little bit more patient I'm going to take my time and sometimes they're not ready to talk about macros and nutrition that's okay because you're here working out I mean it's better than doing nothing at all and treat yourself this way so if you're not a trainer this applies to you as well if you're trying to change your eating habits if you're trying to become more consistent with your workouts be patient and take your time with it and start slow and that's really the only way to find long term success at least for the majority of people I've ever worked with next question is from Solomon Roskin how would you train clients who do not work out on their own? this is a great follow up question to that question because right now it's going through my head I'm remembering trainers who had struggled with resigns and coming to me and telling me all I can't get them to follow the meal plan oh they're not going to resign with me they can't handle the training all this stuff and it's a very similar thing here right? what we were just talking about with the macros and the nutrition that also falls into the exercise and this is something that took me years before I started to really piece this together too and as a trainer I see this client, I put them on a meal plan I have this elaborate program that I designed for them for the next 6 months that I want them to follow and the reality of it is a majority of people can't stick to any of it can't stick to none of it and my attitude with that is like oh they're just not serious enough I'll just keep going until I find another client who is serious enough but what I wasn't doing was improving my job as a trainer and finding out how can I start to change these behaviors and what I'm currently doing right now obviously isn't working because more than half of them aren't sticking with me or aren't staying with fitness long term and a lot of that is how much that I was prescribing to them so if there's somebody who doesn't that only works out when they work out with me well that's probably because I'm expecting them to do these training sessions that look like my training sessions that are overly complicated that I'm pushing the shit out of them fuck that the only reason why I do this is because you're yelling at me and you're pushing me through this and that was a big mistake and this is where I began to start to prescribe walking and prescribe yoga classes and prescribe like two exercises prescribe a mobility drill we just talked earlier about mobility and stuff this is another example of that so I've got a client who I train three days a week and I'm trying to get them to do some things on their own outside it to do that leg session that I just did with them and they walked out crippled and they were sweating in an agony I'm not going to ask them to try and do that on Sunday because they're not going to the only reason why they're doing it now is because they paid for me to do it to them but I would do things like hey you know the handcuffed rotation mobility drill we need to be doing that as much as possible so let's set a goal this week that the two days that you don't see me you know I need you to spend two times in the day spend ten minutes doing that for them to commit to these things that I know if they do that they will feel a difference I'll even see it in their movement and then when I see them on their day I can follow up because they do it do you remember the workouts that you gave clients to do on their own when you first became a trainer I do I would be the most elaborate it was like a full on maps program two hours I do I know you hired me because you don't know how to work out and you've ever done this before and you need help you take about 90 minutes to do and if you have any questions go online it's insane it's absolutely insane you're 100% right Adam it's like give them things that you know that they'll do on their own and sometime I actually had a client this is no joke now I had a client that was so resistant one of my favorite success stories she was the most unhealthy person I've ever met in my entire life I've talked about her before coke drinker I hope she doesn't listen to this podcast she didn't drink water I mean that's how unhealthy she drinks soda that's how she got her fluids and my goal was to get her to eat to change her nutrition and you know where I had to start this is what I did I started by saying can you add a serving of vegetables to your day and I told her I said it has to be something that you're gonna do this has to be realistic so be honest with me luckily she was honest so be honest with me if you think you're not gonna do this or that it's unlikely so can you add one serving of vegetables every single day no can you add one serving of vegetables every week no one day a week no one piece of broccoli no can you read a nutrition book no can you read one page from one nutrition book to start with once a week yes that's where we started literally we started I'd give her a page to read she would read it I train her and we talk about it now slowly you know what that turned into over the years slowly it turned completely changed behaviors completely changed nutrition but it was a really really slow process because you give someone a bunch of stuff that they're not gonna do it's as good as nothing you're a new trainer that's like such a lost cause in your mind you're like no have I shared the colored sticker thing that I used to do so I used to yeah I love this one yeah so I used to go to your staple center or staple you know whatever local staples or whatever you guys got over in your area with office supply stuff and they have these like office max yeah yeah right these little circle colored circles that are stickers and I would you know pick again a couple either exercise and it can be as simple as this like 10 squats okay that's it or you know three handcuffed with rotations like the most basic simple things or someone like to sales lady he's talking about drink a glass of water when you and I would I would tell them okay I want one on the refrigerator one on your bathroom mirror one next to the TV and I'd give them these like strategic spots in their house that I know that they're gonna go buy at least once or twice or three times a day and I'd say when you see this sticker do your 10 squats when you see that sticker do this and it makes it kind of fun and challenging and let's be honest probably they didn't do it every single time but at least it was there as a reminder and I know they were doing more than what they were doing before because I had set the all these little reminders and you start setting simple little tasks and goals like that and then you can build on that and I think that was probably the number one mistake that I made and most my trainers that work for me for many years make is you know sometimes we forget like these people that are hiring us what where their starting point is and what is like overwhelming to them and they're never gonna admit it to you by the way either they're never gonna be like oh yo Adam that's just that's way too much work for me I can't do that nobody will be like oh yeah I could do exactly they're gonna say that but then if you're having a hard time with compliance or you're they're not working out of their own they're not doing these things start with very very basic behaviors you know and that could be going for walks it could be squatting your body weight 10 times could be holding a plank for one minute it could be doing the combat stretch for 30 seconds I mean start small create the behaviors build upon that and that applies both for macronutrients and for exercise next question is from ladybug Laura what's the profession that you value highly but could never do oh you got you guys like this question well you one came to mind right away from me because when I was a kid I thought I was gonna be a lawyer I was dead set on being a lawyer like everybody in my family being of course when you're a kid the reason I have your family members tell you that because you argue yeah I argued all the time I was I was outgoing and I made good arguments and I argued with everybody and whatever and I had an opinion for everything so everyone's like you're gonna be a lawyer but they say enough times as your kid then as you can be on a young adult you're like yeah I'm gonna be a lawyer then you realize you have to just read all the time so I date this girl in high school who her father is a lawyer and I'll never forget this is the day I changed my mind as I went to his office and I walk in his office and you know it's about the size of our studio right here and just covered with books all four walls are books and I asked him I said did you read all these and he was like of course and I started picking them up and opening them and they're like all laws all legalese and I'm like I mean I looked at one and thought I don't know if I could get through one of these if I had to you know maybe a couple of them if it was like if I had to to pass the test and it was that moment that I went I could never do this profession for that simple reason that I could not see myself in my entire lifetime having the discipline to sit down and not only you have to know that stuff it's not just like breeze through it it's like you need to understand it forward and back and that but it also gave me this incredible respect for that profession I mean the the amount of discipline it would take to read that type of material my cousin's a lawyer and 95% of what you do as a lawyer is that you're at your desk and you're researching and reading and writing shit out that kind of stuff it's the other 5% maybe even less than that 2% is what you see in movies the part that your parents told you should be a lawyer for the talking part my family said the same thing and then when I kind of dived into it I was like hell no I like the talking part the rest of it sucks so I saw my podcaster now that's what I do now I talk for me a profession that I value a lot that I could never do I didn't think about this for a second but police officer I think that's a big one what a tough one right now you know they don't get the respect and admiration that I think they deserve they literally do the shit they're the ones that keep order if you're in trouble that's what you call now I know there's bad ones out there but there's bad everything out there but for the most part these people put their lives on the line when shits going down when everybody's running they're the ones that have to go there and make it happen and so for me that's a I've had a lot of friends that were police officers and I'd hear stories and I'm just like I don't know if I could do that I don't know if I could handle that level of stress well that level of scrutiny right now I mean I feel so bad because it's like any profession to your point there's a couple bad apples and they're now under a microscope and everything that they do and judged how they did it how they said what they said did they follow exactly the protocol and meanwhile while they're having to worry about all these ways of doing it they're also worried about their life at the beginning at the end of the day you gotta make sure that you protect yourself and your safe but above that they're having to put all these other things first that would be very hard for me I would first think about myself and my own safety the protocol first of all I'm not gonna die and then I'll figure out all the other things then I'll be politically correct I've had a few conflicts in my life and I don't like them they're stressful as fuck I don't like the way I feel afterwards you carry it home with you you're a cop that's what you do you know what I mean you get a phone call cause some dude won't leave a restaurant conflict that's your job go in there and fight the dude whatever you gotta deal with that shit all the time and then the stuff you see on the highway and then the fear I have a buddy who's a police officer and he talks about how pulling people over a police officer got shot for just a routine pulling someone over because the guy I guess had some warrants so you got that on your mind the whole time that is an incredibly incredibly difficult stressful job and I don't think they get the respect they get out of it, don't think I could do it what do you think Justin? kind of colleges actually along the lines of health practitioners like ER surgeons ER doctors that for me very similar in terms of the stress level and the on call just having to wake up any job where it's like you're on call at ungodly hours just people are ambulance and paramedics people that are out there literally saving lives and somebody will live or die based off of either your hands or your decisions and I was either going to say that or the president but I didn't want to get all crazy and piss everybody off with that one because that's why we have checks and balances and they don't have too much power but yeah I definitely revere and nowadays they do not even make as much money as they should I think they should make LeBron James money for the kind of shit they do saving people out there I have a big admiration and respect for armed forces and people that are out there protecting and saving us from being assholes that we do every day you brought up another one earlier too which is not a profession I value highly and this would be just a stay at home parent oh boy you guys are really reaching frowning points there think about it dude I didn't want to be too virtuous no when you brought it up earlier I made fun of you but if you think about it is there anything that you think can be more valuable than raising good humans that's the impact that's the first point of contact with you creating a human being that's going to be either good or society this is a conversation with Katrina and I right now because she's got an incredible job and makes really good money and of course that helps the family out but I told her the other day I don't know if there is amount of money that you could make that I think could help the family out more than you being with our child more and being a very intricate role in who he develops to be as a young adult man that's everything and I guess maybe now being a dad I think about that more than I ever did before I think I always wanted a partner who I always wanted to be the power couple and have a bad ass wife who's killing it and I have that and now that I have a kid I feel like that's changed what I want more and what I think is even more important is having somebody who I trust that is putting their heart and soul into making sure that this human turns out to be to me the job of a parent is to make sure your kid is better than you that's like how I feel I feel like you win at that point I can't expect him to be a rocket scientist I don't know if he's going to play in the NBA like I would like but at the end of the day what I will gauge if I pastor failed at this dad thing is can I make him a better human being than myself can I give him all of everything that I have and then he can have something to build upon that and you know nobody lays that foundation more than a mom dude a mom who has that is the first line of defense in that so or a dad you know or a stay at home dad any parent I mean I was having this conversation with my daughter it's funny we were talking about work and jobs and she's like well how much does this job make and how much does that job make and I said why are you asking me about how much money these you know these people make because you know making a lot of money you know that would be really cool and I said well it's okay I said but what do you think is the most important thing and she said in this I made my heart just like warm and everything she's like I think family family is the most important thing I was like oh you get it yeah yeah you raising good human beings and unfortunately a lot of people don't do a good job of it but the people that do do a good job of it man those are the most valuable people because they turn into the you know the ER surgeon or the or the police officer that's awesome or I forgot what you said lawyer it does a good job so there
