What about you, Adam? Outside of my knee. Yeah, I got, I got, and I got my elbow together. We're full trauma. Yeah, we hurt everywhere. Can't talk about that. We're supposed to be encouraging people to get into working out. Oh, man. You know what it is, though? And it, it never fails. I was, I was doing an interview yesterday. I'm, I'm talking about the whole, you know, thing we, we, when we discuss doing as little as possible to elicit the most amount of change, it never fails. That you do more ego wins all the time. The ego wins all the time because it's like, even though I know those rules and I live by those rules, 90% of the time, there's still that 10% that the ego wins. And it says, you know what, you've been doing so good, Adam, these last two weeks. Just see what you can do. You should, you should be made of, you should throw another hundred pounds on there just to see. Just to make sure it's good for you. That's, that's what happens to me, dude. I'll be working out and I'll be like, oh my God, I'm so hurt. So then I'll go through a period of like smart training. Then I'll start to feel good and be like, I wonder if I can lift that like I used to. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what it looks like. And then I do it, but then right afterwards, I'm like, damn, well, I could, but it wasn't a good idea. Well, especially if somebody's watching, you kind of got to add a little more. Yeah, yeah. For me, it's, for me, it's, it's always like squatting or deadlifting. And it's always, uh, because I've been in a rhythm for a while and, you know, that, and you know, when you hit these workouts, right? So I've been, I've had like, probably, I want to say three or four, like really good weeks where I've been consistent and I've been consistently training three to four times at least, right? Some, I think one week I even hit five, right? So I've been doing well and I'm seeing, uh, my squat strength go back up again and I can feel and like, that's all the trouble. Oh yeah, I put the weight on the bar yesterday and like to warm up. And it was just like when you, when it feels light, it's like, oh, this, this is good. This is, I'm getting back, right? And then it's like, that exact phrase. Jessica calls me out every time because I'll come in after I'm all pumped. You know, I had a good workout. I'm like, coming back, babe. And she'd be like, you say that every time. Coming back. What do you mean? Coming back. I'm chasing my best workout of all time. Constantly. But I was like 28. And then my, then my, then my knees the next morning go, no, you're not actually. Let me remind you. The warranty expired a little long time ago. Whatever. I don't care anymore. Just keep, just keep doing it. I mean, whatever. I mean, this is why I remember going, there were people that used to work out of my gyms that I would manage that were older and back then older for me would have been over 50, right? But fit men and women. And they always, you know, the ones that were consistent, they always trained really good technique. I never really lifted super heavy, you know? That's why, because they're smart. Yeah, they're smart. Reasonable. We're not being smart. Speaking of which, since we're already on this feel bad about yourself train, what's the fastest mile you guys have ever run before? Ever? Yeah. Did I time it? I don't know if I timed it. 550 something for me. Damn, so right under six minutes. That's pretty good. Yeah, when I was a kid, when I was in sixth, seventh, eighth grade, I was running times like that. I don't even remember. I can't. You don't remember? Did you ever break six minutes? Sure. Did you get out of your guy? That's what I'm supposed to say. I don't remember. You know, I don't know. I don't know how you guys remember all these stats. They're so useless. It's true, Adam and I keep track of them. Yeah, like why? I mean, that was a big, okay. Watch, watch, watch, watch. Hold on, hold on. Adam, what's the most you've ever curled? I care to you. I care to you. I actually don't know that. I actually don't know that. But when you were, at least when I was in school, in middle school and in high school was a big deal. The mile, I mean, they tested you every year. Yeah, yeah, presidential physical fitness. Yeah. I mean, I guess if you were in the lumped in the average, it probably wasn't a big deal. But if you were towards the upper... That must have been what happened. Yeah, that must have been the case. If you got sub six, that was a big deal. His paper just said a P for pass. Yeah. Good job, Justin. You passed. Yeah, I got E's, bro. E's, lots of E's. Yeah, let's break it right. Well, anyway, recently this just happened, a pregnant woman, nine months pregnant, just ran a sub six minute mile. What? Yeah. Nine months pregnant ran a sub six. Toughen. Yeah, it says here a California athlete's speed is going viral for an unusual reason after she ran a mile under six minutes. Can we see the video? While nine months pregnant, McKayna Myler, 28 said her doctors cleared her to continue running with the, with the Valer Track Club in Orange County. Really? Five to six times a week while pregnant. Her husband, Mike, bet her $100 that she could not run a mile in under eight minutes. Where to go, Mike? Good job, bro. Where to almost kill your kid, guy. That can't be safe, no? You know, dude, there's such a variance, right? An individual variance? Right. I mean, obviously she's stayed consistent training. Like maybe that's not... She's used to that kind of intensity. Yeah, I do not recommend anybody who's pregnant try this. Nine months pregnancy? Yeah. I mean, that's insane. I do have the video here. I could send it to you, Doug. Wow, that is impressive. That's crazy to me, you know? No, that's, that's impressive. How'd she feel after that? It makes you feel terrible, doesn't it? A little bit. Oh, yeah. That is so embarrassing. I definitely passed into six minutes. I know I, in, I want to say junior high, I was able to go under six minutes before I started lifting weights. This is when I was like super skinny. Yeah, I was young. It was definitely middle school time when I was, when I hit times like that. And then I think high school, I was in the sixes. I definitely slowed down as I got taller and lankier. Yeah, when I figured out that girls were more interested in my arm, in the way my arms looked versus my mile times when I didn't care anymore. Yeah. You couldn't walk around. I remember 40 times, because that was the only thing that mattered. Because you got all the gas, dude. Power. Well, 40 times is what like every other college, they were like evaluating your performance based off of that, the shuttle run, and then- Yeah, that's older though. That's older. That's like when they- I know, I can't go back to elementary. Who gives a shit about elementary school? Because that's when we were excellent. I can't say it. All right. That's fair, that's fair. Was it even a real mile too? You know, they measured for us, they had like these cones. So I mean- Oh, we had, you didn't have a quarter mile track at your school? No, elementary school I didn't. Oh, we did. No, junior high. So mine was real, so you probably didn't really actually do it that good. I don't know. That's probably- It helps have a real school. I ran two laps, how much is that? Oh, that's half a mile? Yeah. I don't think- Six minute, half a mile? I don't think you did it. Look, there she is, dude. I wanna see this. I wanna see the mechanics. She's flying, dude. She doesn't move. She doesn't even look like she's eight months pregnant. She's nine months. She's not like- Nine months. Two bouncy or anything, you know? No, I mean, that's top, because I mean Jessica's nine months pregnant and you could see that. Look at that. She doesn't even- She doesn't even look big at all. Yeah, she's not that big. Oh, no, not at all. That's weird. Yeah. That's weird. Oh yeah, look at that. Her posture is definitely interesting running like that. This baby ran a mile before it was even born. That's crazy, dude. That's insane. Well, I hope she's healthy and she does, she's good. I've seen pregnant women hurt themselves before from trying to- I'm surprised the doctor's released her to do that. Doesn't it seem- Here's the funny thing. No offense to any doctors listening right now, but doctors know very little about fitness and athletic performance. So what kind of metrics of the doctors using to clear her? Yeah. How do you feel? I feel good. Okay, you're good. What's the clearance? Well, they're normally on the other side of that. Most doctors tell them not to run. Right. So that's interesting that they would even push her in that direction. Her chiropractor did it. Mm. That was the doctor. Dude, I tell you guys, I'm being shadow banned on Instagram. No. Yeah. I'm telling you, it happened to me. Yeah. That video still, that I drove all those people, I think it's still at 6,000 views. Well, what makes you think that? Like, what are the numbers that you're used to? It just drops substantially or what? Bro, if I posted anything in my story, I would, and this is as of the recording the podcast, right? I would get on a low day in 24 hours, 14,000 views on a high day is close to 20,000 views on just something in my story. Right, your memes, your basic shit that you post. Whatever, I'll post something I write or whatever. And what's a bad day? Because I can see the difference in mine. 14,000. That's a bad day. Yeah, I would never, I mean, rarely would it even get even close to 14,000. And so I posted some memes that, first I posted a meme of 50 cent, okay? So 50 cent. Which is the one by the way that got blocked, right? Didn't that get flagged? That's the first one that got flagged. Which is so stupid. So 50 cent obviously comes out with that tweet that says he doesn't want to become 20 cent because of the new tax things that might be hilarious. So there was a, and this is funny, it wasn't even political, it's a picture of 50 cent but with like Donald Trump's hair cut on him or whatever. I thought it looked hilarious. So I posted it and it got like a warning on it because the picture was doctored or whatever. So I'm like, that's weird. Every meme is like that. I've never posted a single meme that wasn't doctored but whatever. So then that happened. Then I posted another one that was, I don't remember what it was exactly. I can't remember off the top of my head but it was another political funny meme. And then that was it, dude. All of a sudden I'm getting 1,000 views in 24 hours. Wow. 1,000? Yeah, and that was yesterday. Today I deleted all of them from yesterday. So I'm like, all right, let me see. Maybe one of them is causing this to happen. It's happening right now too. Yeah. It's crazy. You finally got on their radar. I mean, I feel like I should pop some champagne or something like this. You've been trying so hard. Yay! I got the shadow man. Doing political podcasts with our buddy Mike and everything. Mike Matthews. Maybe it's that. They do it in a way that's hard to be for sure about, right? Cause it's not like no one's seeing it whatsoever. It's just like all of a sudden it just dramatically reduces it. That's just like the video that I posted. It's like- They just throttle it. Yeah, way down. So does it mean that they're just not letting your normal people see it? Is it just not jumping in their feet? I have no idea how they would do something like that or how it works. And I know they keep it a secret, right? They keep the algorithms and all that a secret? Well, that's the thing. I know there was like a big initiative with all tech companies after Trump got elected the first time to not, you know, let that be a factor in terms of like swaying people either way. And so it's like, you know, that a lot of that had to keep going, you know, going into this election too. You try to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Yeah. Like that's just gonna, their social media is the era of free unregulated social media is over. I know. And what is the answer? I mean, what would be your answer to that, right? You just can't, you can't stop anything good, bad or ugly, right? I mean, that's the only way you make it free and fair. If you want to be covered, otherwise there's always gonna be a side that is gonna be upset, right? Well, if you want to be protected from lawsuits and you want to be, you know, have a good case for remaining unregulated, then you can fall under, I don't remember what law this was, but it was the same, these laws that cover phone companies. So let's say like we're here in California, we have PG&E. PG&E is not liable for something that I say over the phone, right? Because they just, they're just there letting people talk. They don't edit, they don't do any of that stuff. It's all open. And so they're protected so that they can, and that's a good thing. That's a good thing that they're protected because if they- Right, it's not fair to PG&E if you and I were conspiring to rob a bank. And then PG&E gets sued. And then they get sued. Exactly, or you say something I don't like or whatever, right? Right, right. Now, so social media is kind of, tries to say that they're protected under that. The problem is that they actively edit their content quite a bit. And so now- That's what I mean. They would have to go completely the opposite, right? They would have nothing. You'd have to allow all things that are good, bad, and offensive would go. So that's an interesting place to be, right? In which case, they probably wouldn't have very much business. Think about that. How many people would leave Facebook if it was completely open, if it was completely free? So they have to kind of do this balancing act of, we gotta edit it to be happy, to make our customers happy. Maybe they have their own intentions. Because they wanna keep people there. I mean, that's the basis of their whole business is to be able to keep them on there so they can throw ads in their face. Well, do you know how many times they've tried to pass laws to regulate the internet and stuff like that. And they always get slapped down. But now you have, first it was the Democrats that got pissed off because they said that the 2016 election was heavily influenced by social media. They went after social media giants. Right now it's the conservatives that are going after them. And now the public is all kind of pissed off. And this is right. That's why they're gonna pass regulations. They are. It'll never, no one, you can't win, right? No. No matter what, even if you're trying to be as, as bipartisan as possible, you're still always gonna lean one way or another. Do you think this is eventually gonna affect podcasts? I don't know. In real space. That's a good question. I would think that podcasts are probably more like the phone company thing because companies should just hold podcasts. But let's, because there has yet to be like a social media, like a podcast, social media type thing where you go on and it's easy to share. And you see, and that's been one of the criticisms of the podcast space because they're harder to share and find. But if that happens, then I could see maybe, I mean, who knows, who knows. I hope not. I don't know. I just, I always like to, you know, think ahead of all these things coming our way and see how it's gonna affect our space. Because, I mean, right now it just seems like there's so much free speech and this is like the only place you get it anymore. And I just wonder what, you know, the powers that be are gonna start putting a spotlight over here. Yeah, well, yeah, we'll see. They're gonna be regulated, I guarantee it. It's over. It's coming. Anyway, something else that, and this is not for the reasons that some people may think, so bear with me. I was reading this article about kind of fashion trends and stuff that's happening right now. You? Yeah, I know. You could say that again. Accident? No, let me tell you. While you're watching Sports Center? Yeah, just what? My head would explode. Upside-down world? Say no. I'm gonna act like Justin and Adam combined today. Oh my God, I would love to see that. No, so apparently there are a growing number of men that are wearing heels and skirts to work. Now, hold on a second. Hold this true. Now, hold on a second. You're gonna get me angry. So here's why this is backwards. This is why this is not progress. It's not because men shouldn't wear heels. I don't give a shit, wear whatever you want. But because nobody should wear heels. The hell out uncomfortable? If we're gonna progress, it should be the opposite. It should be women not wearing them anymore. Not men wearing them. Where you going? What's wrong with you? They're like the worst thing for your feet and your posture. That's a thing right now? I just read an article about there was a man in the UK. He's gotta be following on Instagram and then talked about how more guys are starting to do that. I wanna know the women that are fucking these guys. Yeah. That's what I wanna know. I wanna meet them. I don't personally know any women that are attracted to that. Really? Yeah. Do you? Bro, do you forget like Prince? Do you remember Prince, the musician? No, no, no. That dude was accomplished. Yeah, that's totally, that is not. You are not, I'm not gonna allow you to draw that. So he was getting laid in spite of the fact that he wore no, but they're doing it for a cause. I'm assuming, right? It's not just because they're doing it because of a cause or it's like a new fashion. No, he likes it. He says it's a good fashion. Oh, really? That's really weird. That's backwards. I feel like progress would be people saying we're not gonna wear heels anymore because it causes anterior pelvic tilt. It hurts, it's got good for my foot health and they're on constant and guys are picking them up. What are you guys doing? I don't know. I mean, they're trying to like equal it out. But should equal it out in the opposite direction? Yeah. You helped at least shaving their legs. You know what I mean? Well, since we're talking about ridiculous stuff, did you guys see the Christmas laws that came out from Newsom? Oh my God. Is that real? It's real, right? It's not fake. I had to like double check to make sure I made it through like half that video so I didn't even get all of it. What was the three? Let me see if I can find it. I'll tell you what I know. Oh, I got them all. Okay, let's hear it. So these are the California holiday gathering COVID rules. Only three families together at once. Three households. Three households. Guest tracing. So when people show up to your party, you have to get their phone numbers and emails just in case someone gets sick so you can send it out to everybody and have guests tracing and then of course report it to your government. Yeah, yeah. Report it, yeah. Just like the Hitler Youth, let's do that. Gathering outside only so you can't have an indoor Christmas party, which, okay, that's gonna kind of be weird if it rains or whatever. Internal bathroom, okay, thank you. I appreciate it for that one. If routinely sanitized, everyone must sit six feet apart. So you have like, let's say you have eight people at your house. And you're sitting in your backyard. 90 foot table. He just likes to say things, you know? Like none of this stuff is like applicable to anything we're going through right now in California. Okay, food in single serve containers only. So you have to give it, everybody has their own single serve container and only two hours is allowed. Now truth be told, I'm sure there's a lot of people that like these because now they have excuse like, ah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry guys. Sorry, uncle creeper. You can't come over and get all drunk like you normally do. But you know what, this makes me laugh because it's like every time it's such a dumb idea to pass any laws or regulations that you can't enforce. I know. How would they possibly enforce that? They can't, that's why it's hilarious to me that he even brings it up. Like who's gonna manage this? Exactly, what happens if I don't do it? Yeah, and is he taking like tax money to like pay people to go out there and enforce this? It's like the FBI warning on the videos that I talked about this day. Yeah, yeah. It's the same thing. It's like the mattress tag? Yeah. Don't rip this off or you're going to jail. Oh yeah? Yeah. It's gonna be a big black market Christmas. What is the move though? I mean, what is, I mean, Sal, you're the one that's into the politics. So what's the political mover? Why would you even come out and say that? If you know you can't enforce it, you know half the people are gonna be forward, the other half, is it because he thinks that more people would actually agree with it? Like is there, maybe we are the minority in this? Maybe we don't think this is weird? The most ultra progressive guy that's ever existed. Like super anti-COVID. I think part of it is maybe, and you have to put yourself in the mindset of someone like that. I think sometimes politicians think that they're super like kings, you know what I mean? 100%. People are gonna do what I say. And then number two, he can always say he did that. You know the words? Yeah, well I said it. Exactly. In the future, looking back, what was your response during COVID? Look what I did. Okay, okay, that makes sense. Like if it starts to spike in California and everything, he could go back and say, well I told people not to do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or if it doesn't spike, then he can take credit. Oh, hey, just because in California, you know, we limited Christmas parties. Well, a lot of other states think that we're doing such a great job, right? Isn't that the rumor that all California's lockdowns, the way we've eliminated or reduced the numbers so drastically considering how big we are was because everybody left. Yeah, but we had a huge spike in the middle of lockdowns, even stricter lockdowns, remember that? Remember the spike came up? And I mean, it's logical. If people are gonna go out and be around each other, you're gonna see more COVID cases. That's logical. You have to count it, though, against all of the other unintended consequences. You can't just look at infections, you gotta look at everything else and all of the other downstream potential consequences, but they're not considering it at all. Information like this is why I drink sometimes. Let me be honest with you guys. And what I'm thirsty for is this Icelandic brew. Have you guys heard about this Icelandic brew? It's like a craft brew, and they use whale testicles and sheep's dung. Can you imagine? In a beer? In a beer, and they brew it. It's like the most manly beer you could drink. Right, and it's also like the whales are endangered. Wow. I'm like, wow, you guys are really going for this beer. Well, Iceland's known for their amazing cuisine, so this only makes, actually they're not. Do you know that they have like, I think it's an Icelandic. Are they ready to worst? Yeah, I think they have this fermented shark meat dish that's supposed to be the worst tasting thing of all time. Yeah, I mean, this complements it well. Exactly. So yeah, you want it down a nice beer. So what's the deal with this beer? Why would they make it this way? I think it's like a traditional thing. Like, so they used to brew back in the day, and so somebody, this beer company decided to do it as a traditional thing for like once a year, they would promote this craft brew that locals would appreciate. That's why Vikings are so tough, I swear. Yeah, they can drink and eat anything. They just go through this, yeah, there it is right there. From whales, testicles. How big is a whales testicle though? That's what I'm wondering. It must be massive. Oh, yeah. Have you ever seen the pictures of whales, like I think a whale penis? Have you seen how big those things are? Have I? What are you guys Googling? What are you guys Googling over here? Well, nothing, it's just interesting. No, no, no, that doesn't just pop up in your feed. You have to actively... It's gotta be the biggest one, right? You have to actively Google that stuff. No, Doug's looking at it. I mean, they're mammals. You gotta, you know, they're packing heat. Yeah, you gotta look up how big is a whale's testicle. Tell us exactly how you searched it. Yeah. I mean, click on images. And scroll down five to the third image to the right. Why are you saying anus there? Look at, look at, it turns out that one fill whale, a weight, wow, one testicle weighs seven to eight kilos and is the size of a basketball. That's not as big as I thought it would be. It's the size of a basketball? Bro, but for a whale? That's a small, that's small, dude. Yeah, I suppose scale-wise. There was a guy with, what's that disease? Terrible disease, really, really bad. Elephantitis? Yes. You ever seen the picture of the guy where he's sitting on it? Oh, yeah. I felt bad for that guy. Isn't that in the Guinness World Record? That's in that, I think that's where I've seen that. I think it was. It looked like a beanbag that he was sitting on. It was his own thing. Yeah, speaking of beanbag, those love sacs are massive, huh? How big was that love sac? Did you guys, who hasn't seen it? You haven't seen it yet, Justin. I haven't seen it. Doug is the only one that's seen it, huh? Is that thing huge or what? It's massive. Now, was this, let's be honest, everybody, or Doug, since you've seen this, let's just be clearly, totally honest. Was this one of Adam's impulse buys? Or was this, like, is this like- Is this functional? Yeah, because Adam's been known to have impulse buys. Yeah, I think it could be good if everybody's at the house. Okay, I was gonna get you, Doug, if you did not- No, I would say, I think we're gonna appreciate it when everybody's at the house. Yes. Otherwise, it is a very large thing in the middle of a room. Yeah, see, Doug should be in politics. He answers questions very, that was in the middle. It was, I was watching it if he was gonna be hard on me, because it is, there's gonna be a time, and here's the thing, I know he has to agree, because he's been the guy on the floor before. I have been. And that's the hardwood floor, and watching a movie is not a fun place to be. How big is it? It's massive. I mean, it's big. Bigger than a Wales testicle, I'd say that right now. Yeah. Like in this room, how big would it be? I mean, okay, take Adam's chair, fill the whole thing up with filler, and it'd probably be at least that big. It's more than that. It's bigger than that. Is it comfortable? Oh yeah. How much did it cost? How many people- How much did we buy it for? I'm gonna ask those types of questions. Why not? 1600, I think. No, it didn't, dude. Yeah, something like that. Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second. Your tax dollars, it works. It was like $1,600 we spent on a- It's a write-off. This was an impulse. This was 100% an impulse, but- No, he was talking about it for months. I'm not impulse. I don't realize the price was $1,000. It was selling on the floor. I bought one, I also bought one for myself too. I thought you were gonna say 90 bucks. It's too big for my house though, I can't fit it in my house. Take it through the front door. Why is it so expensive? What's the problem? Lifetime guarantee, okay? So it's forever, okay? Forever you're gonna have the cash. Think about that in itself. Divide that by all the months you're gonna lay in it over the course of 30, 40 years at least. Think of that one. It also has a, we have elk fur cover that you can unzip. Is that included in the price? Is it easily washable? That's it. Yeah, easily washable. And then it's filled with that memory foam, dude. Oh yeah, memory foam. And you know how expensive those beds are? It's worth, A, wait til you go up there. You haven't been up there, right? In a while, so when you go up there and you go lay in that thing. I'd rather have 16 hundred dollar bills on the floor next to my house. Oh, get out of here, get out of here. Well, you know me. You're not a money guy. You don't even care about that. I'm a cheap guy. Yeah, you're gonna like it. You're gonna like it. Speaking of these types of things, how's Katrina enjoying her pillow? Oh, did you see I posted that yesterday? Yeah, so tell me all about what's with the deal. Well, so she finally got hers, right? So we've been fighting over mine, right? So get your own pillow. She got hers and hers came in last night. She did the whole process? Yeah, yeah, you know what's cool too? They always send like a little card with your name on it with like a little airhead candy in there. It's like their signature calling, right? And then, and what I love about the company, what they do and what I was explaining to her because she was actually, oh, you know, I wish it was a little bit thicker because I mean, the first time you do it, you're trying to figure out like very few people. Nailed it the first time. Yeah, I feel like very few people will know exactly. And this is right on the site. You go to the Pluto pillow site and then right away. Not only that, so they send you your profile card and then they also save it in their website. So like when she goes back, right? So for example, so the idea is she'll sleep on this thing now for the next couple of weeks and then she'll go back and make critiques. She'll say, man, if it was a little fluffier or if it was a little larger or a little smaller, like so it has all the breakdown of all her preferences and you can adjust all of them just a little bit. And then they send you send it back and get them. Yeah, then she can do, no, you don't send back that same pillow. You order another pillow, you get another pillow from it to make it perfect. But I mean, she did pretty good for what she wants. For me, it's I like mine a little fluffier than hers. Did you compare the two to see? Yeah, we were similar, except for I like mine, she likes hers a little more firm and she likes hers a little bit flatter. I like mine fluffier and softer, so bigger, so they have like a zero to three ratio. It makes sense because you've got bigger shoulders, obviously, so your head has to go down or whatever. But I mean, it's such a cool company, dude. I mean, the way they ship it over to you is really, really nice. I love that they have the personalized card inside there. Well, I think when it comes to sleep, customizable makes a huge difference. I don't know too many, like most people, if you take two random people, they're gonna have different preferences for everything from when they sleep, everything from the temperature to the, and the pillow is one area that I don't know any, I mean, are they the first company? Yes, nobody was doing this. That's what was so, what I fell in love with when I met with the CEO was just her brilliance, her brilliance to think about creating this. She's like, the experience of buying a pillow is so weird. It's something that we all use. I mean, the market's massive, right? So you're renting a market that you know that's not going away. We're not gonna stop using pillows anytime soon. And there's so much out there and so much information and everybody trying to pitch you and sell you. And nobody's made something customizable like this. And a company, right? I mean, you can go get all these types of different pillows from different places and maybe one company offers all these different types, but nobody has made like this customizable, user-friendly type of service so you get exactly what you want. And I imagine, you know, because this is now the second pillow we've bought, by the time I buy pillow three or four, obviously, I mean, how many pillows have you owned in your lifetime? Like probably a hundred of these damn things, right? So I'm sure by the time I order my second and my third one, I'm gonna like have it like just absolutely perfect. Oh, I know. I'm excited. Like even at our house, so we've been sleeping on like a queen forever and we're just starting to like see the drawings for the remodel that we're gonna do in the house and like where we're etching it out for a king bed finally and like redoing the whole thing. I'm gonna be like Pluto pillowing everything on my bed. I didn't know that you sleep on a queen right now. Yeah, dude. Like it's been tight. That would drive me crazy. She is on top of each other. Yeah. Yeah, no. Cool, right? How many years have you been married? Now it's a little annoying. Yeah, right now Jessica does the whole pillow fort thing because she's still pregnant. So it's like pillows. I mean, there's like nine pillows. That's good. That was like true. I mean, between your legs and under the belly and over the this and the head and whatever. And I'm on the side of the bed and it's like That was exactly me, bro. This mountain of pillows. Wall of China pillows. I should tell her. Yeah, I gotta write notes and throw them over the wall. Hey, babe. Here's what's going on right now. Speaking of technology. Invading forces. This is some kind of crazy news, some bad news, but there's this, this bot that this deep fake bot that right now is getting a lot of attention because what it does is it takes pictures of people and it removes their clothes. So well, you think that's cool, but there's a lot of people who are really upset about it because it looks real. So now there's like naked pictures of you, but you're not actually naked, but it looks like you're naked. Wait, so it takes pictures that already exist and then makes you naked from those pictures. Yes. It's an AI tool that removes items of clothing from photos and it's targeted more than 100,000 women and people are like, yeah, like do they have this database of all these bodies and they just like sort of like copy pasted on there? I don't, I have no idea. I have no idea. But they're under a lot of heat right now and a lot of these, some of these women are. Is that bad if I'm like curious of what it looks like? Do I match you to porn stars? I'm just interested in like how accurate it could be. Well, here's the thing. Here's why it's a problem is they're not checking people. I know why it's a problem. Let me explain why this is an issue. People don't like this. No shit, guys. Hey, let's do it with just the picture. Let's try it out. I do. I want to see how accurate it is. I'll be honest if it looks like boobs on them. No way. It doesn't hang that way. What are you guys doing? It's way smaller than that. No way. Big, little bush. Yeah, it's just bush. All bush. All bush, 100% bush. Yeah. Oh, wow, wow. That was hot, dude. That's crazy. Yeah, so, but here's the problem. Okay, no, here's the other problem with it is not just that people don't like it, that it's not checking people's ages. It's not doing any of that stuff. So it could potentially take someone who's underage and do it and I mean, you know, people's pictures are on the internet now. Everybody's pictures are. Did you guys see the, speaking of like inappropriate shit, did you guys see the guy who got caught with the tubing guy who got caught? Oh, CNN. Yes, the guy I've seen it get caught. Pulling the tubing. I saw the one minute guy breaking it down. Oh my God. So apparently he was on a Zoom conference call, right? And he starts masturbating and then said he didn't know his camera was on. My question is this, what are you doing masturbating when you have a call going on? Yeah, it goes further than that. So what it was, it was like, and I'm sure, I mean, how many conference calls have we been on or Zoom calls where it's like a speaker's talking and then you don't have any responsibility. Yeah, we have like a 15 minute break. So I think what he was, I think what he was, he had another window open and he was. He didn't know that he was being. Yes. And he was talking dirty back and forth with somebody and didn't realize his camera was probably on and then he gets caught just doing his business too. Oh. Do you work for CNN? Is that? Yeah, right there. That's him right there. He's suspended. He'll forever be a thing, right? Tubin. Don't be caught doing that. Don't be caught. That's gotta be the most embarrassing. Pulling the tubin. It's gotta be so like, that'll never leave you. That's like, it's like pooping your pants in fifth grade. Like you'll always be known now for doing this. Well, he'll be done too, right? I mean, talk about a career ender. Well, who picked some other career? Well, let me put it to you this way. I'll say somebody's name who has, who was extremely successful, but now there's only one thing you think about when I say- Peebie Herman. Peebie Herman. Peebie Herman, successful TV show, movies. Everybody loved him. Gets caught jerking off one time. Which by the way, I still love big top Peebie in the last few years. Was in a dirty movie theater, which is a little more understandable than I'd assume business call. You don't say, like even Peebie had more class. Right? Yeah, imagine. He's just in there with other creeps. Yeah, we're all doing our conference call, you know what I mean? Hey, what's going on? Justin, what the? Oh man, I didn't know. What are you doing, dude? I told you that- I'm so excited. I told you that my buddy who's a principal, right? The school said that that's actually an issue that they've had to tell teachers. Like, hey listen, when you are doing these call- Put a shirt on. Yeah, put a shirt on. Like some teachers- What's the thing? I can see people not having clothes, but like to be jacking it. Come on, guy. I remember one time, this was early days where Doug and I were filming. I don't remember what program it was. Either Maps Anabolic, or the No BS 6 Pack Form, or one of those two. And I would wear a Lavalier mic, so it's a wireless mic, right? And I took a break and I went to the bathroom. I didn't do anything in the bathroom other than what you're supposed to do in the bathroom, which is use the bathroom. But Doug was out in the gym area with the headphones on. I come back out and he's laughing because he can hear everything. So I left the mic on accident. Hot mic, hot mic. Hey, I got a new favorite product that we work with. I mean, and I love all the people we work with, but this has to be the most effective, consistent product I've used ever for any sponsors we work with. You're gonna talk about the sleep net, aren't you? Oh my gosh. It has to be that. I know, I use it again. What do they put in there? I'm on like number seven, dude. It works like so well. 100% of the time. It's crazy how well it works. If I use it, I'm gonna sleep hard every single time. There's never, so far, I've never failed me. I had a great call with them yesterday, actually. So we were talking about 2021, right? So we're obviously will remain with them. Did they say? They knocked that out of the park. Did they say that they're getting a good response to that? Oh yeah, no, they said. So we, over the, when COVID hit, this is just being completely transparent with our audience, whether they care or not. But with you guys, I haven't shared this with you guys. Over COVID months, they saw a slight dip in performance. And so, it's important to us that our partners are doing well. Like we want it to be a mutually beneficial relationship. And so the big discussion was, okay, let's adjust some things as far as advertising dollars goes and let's see if things get better. And they said, well, we have this sleep product that we're really proud of that's coming that I think that your audience is gonna love. We'll see what happens after that. So this was the call actually that we were having in response to this launch of them doing that. And if it did boost sales and stuff, it just blew it out the water. So like, yeah, performance is like phenomenal. And they're like, we're getting all kinds of great feedback from your guys's people. So. If I take it, this is 100% of the time what's happened to me so far. If I take it, number one, I sleep hard. I dream almost every time I have like very vivid dreams. And I don't wake up. Dude, I wake up so refreshed. Yes. It's like, whoa, it just reminds you what a good night's sleep's supposed to feel like. It works so well that I'm trying not to take it all the time. I know. That's okay, so I've used it every single night now for God, it's gotta be now 10 days or four or 12 days. Okay, see, I haven't done that yet. So I want to see, I want to see. Is it? Do you adapt to it? Yeah, if you adapt to it and I want to take it for, my goal is to take it until I run out of the bottle, not take it for a week and notice, see if I get a rebound. Because sometimes with sleep herbs and whatever, you take it and then you go off and then you can't get sleep anymore without it. So I want to test all of that. But so far, I've never used anything and I've tried so many different, and not that I have issues with sleep, but I love experimenting with supplements and stuff. I've never had anything as effective as this. I made sure and experimented a night of drinking alcohol and using it just for you guys to make sure I come out for this. Oh my gosh. And I still slept great. I don't even know if that's recommended. It's not. I'm just saying, like, I'll be that guy. Yeah, I'll go off the rails a little. You wake up at 4 p.m.? Yeah. No, I still slept well, man. No, it's fire. First question is from Gavin Brumbaugh. What are some ways or exercises to improve body coordination? I'm a competitor in still timber sports. Oh, that's dope. What a cool sport. And this skill is very important. Oh, that's cool. That's the chainsaw, speed stuff, right? Yeah, and then they climb up and they actually chop. They have chainsaw and chopping events, too. I just don't know. I want to go to one of these. I want to go to one of these. What a manly competition. Yeah, bad ass. I feel like you're like them and arm wrestlers, right? I feel like this is right up Justin's alley. I feel like this is what you would have done if you would have known that they existed when you were younger. I had no idea. If we didn't get in his way, he by now might be a famous still competitor. So here's the thing. Nothing will improve your body's coordination, specific coordination, like practicing the sport that you're trying to get good at. There's nothing, nothing will rival that. There's no exercise. There's no mobility movement. There's no nothing that'll make you better at whatever you're trying to get better at than practicing that actual thing itself. So that's number one. Number two, generally we can put in this, these are, it can be very specific depending on the sport or whatever you're trying to get good at. But generally speaking, gross motor movements, big full body movements are gonna be better at improving coordination than isolated movements. So... Now, what do you think about this though? And I'm curious to Justin's opinion on that. Like, I feel like may spells would be sick for someone like this. Because a lot of what they're doing is they have to balance core stability. They're moving the chains off from one side to the other side of their body really quick. And I feel like that, that body control with swinging and moving and weight around like that will be great for this person. Oh, anything swinging. We're talking Indian clubs, we're talking like those iron bells, iron clubs. You know, stuff like that. I think that these unconventional type of exercises where it requires a lot of high skill just to learn a lot of the moves because there's some basic moves you can learn but you can really get into the weeds when it comes to different types of movements that you can produce with weight. And I think that venturing into that direction it requires a lot of concentration. It requires a lot of body control, awareness. You know, and it's a whole another skill that I've actually found it does translate into other like motor skills and especially like hand-eye coordination. Yeah, now the areas that you might want to focus on improving strength or stamina or stability that here's an easy, and I'm not very familiar with this type of competition. I can picture what you do but I've never trained anybody who's done this but here's a kind of a rule of thumb. What parts of your body tend to get beat up and fatigue the most, right? So I would imagine in something like this, this is a guess, but I would imagine your hands and your forearms probably take a nasty beating. Yeah, grip, shoulders and back, I would think. That's what I would think, right? So I would do mobility movements. I would do strengthening movements, appropriate amounts, because if you can over train them it's for those parts of the body to improve your stamina and your strength so that when you're doing what you're doing, your technique is always gonna get good. Well, especially being so dominant if your right side is chopping and doing most of the work too to be able to offset that with a little doing drills. I think when they do, at least if I- They go both sides. I've seen that before but- Yeah, at first speed you go both, you go both sides. But not with the chainsaw, yeah. No, even with the chainsaw I think. They go with the left hand grip? Well, I don't know if they switch the grip as much as they switch like going up and down like, I don't know, this is a cool question for me because I've never trained somebody who does this and it would be really like, of course doing this as long as we have, it's always fun actually to try and figure something out like this. I would really enjoy trying to write a program for someone like this. Well, here think about it this way. You guys have all worked and been around a lot of blue collar workers, people who would do similar type stuff. I've worked with people who've done it again. And that's where I think your advice is good because that basic grip strength, shoulder, back strength, that all makes sense and I don't disagree. I think that absolutely belongs. But the fun part of this programming would be, to me, what Justin was alluding to which is these creative high technical, high skill type of swinging weight around and controlling that. Because they have to move that ax and the chainsaw around really quick with all their movements. And if you've got great control with a May spell like that and you've trained that. Okay, so I've got all the events right here. So here's the first one. It's called the spring board. So the competitor uses two spring boards to ascend to the top of a nine foot pole and chop a firmly attached 12 inch diameter block. So you know which one that is, right? That's where they chop it. They put the wood up and they climb up to it and they chop again. Yeah, and then they chop pieces of it off. Yes, here's the other one. It's called the still stock saw. Competitors begin with both hands on the log when the signal is given, the sawers using identical chainsaw. But listen, go back to the first one. Let's talk about it for a second. What I picture with that, that's why the May spell makes so much sense to me because he's got a balance on a board while he's chopping with his left and his right back and forth like that to be able to swing a heavy mace back and forth and stay stable and control. Yeah, and there's some cool stuff you can do with chopping movements specifically with the May spell too to emulate that and also like even incorporate your legs and lunge and chop. And so yeah, the May spell I would think would have a bit of carry over there for sure. Then they do one where they have both hands on a log when the signal is given, they make two cuts through identical logs. And I don't know if that's done for speed. Then there's an underhand chop where they stand on a 12 to 14 foot log at the signal, they chop through the log. That's this one right here. I think isometrics would be a big thing to really focus on too, especially with all that, just like maintaining your control and grip but like having a really intensive grip because controlling a chainsaw like that and these huge chainsaws. Yeah, I have seen these competitions. You're gonna have to have incredible core stability. Incredible. I mean, in power. Yeah. That's why the mace makes so much sense to me because the amount of core stability you have while you're swinging it because you can get, I mean, you can slowly progress those bells to where you're swinging that. I mean, how much is that big one you swinging out there? Yeah, so the real big one's like, oh, 45 pounds? Yeah. Yeah, I'm actually getting a 55 pound like somebody that I talk to every now and then he's like, like, oh, I want you to try this 55 pound bell. Like, yeah. Oh my God. Bring it. Oh, there you go. There you go. Yeah. I'm looking up what their workouts tend to look like right now to see what they tend to do. Yeah. Cause I'm very interested to see what that looks like. These guys, but these guys, their forearms are, Yeah, those chains, those are massive chains. Split stances, you're gonna wanna train anti-rotation and rotational movements. You're gonna wanna train definite like high emphasis on core stability and maybe add in some dexterity like with some unconventional tools for added bits of difficulty for coordination. Maybe invite us to one of the shows so we can come back. I wanna watch. Yeah, I do. Next question is from Cass May. What are some exercises to help with overactive upper traps on pulling movements? So this is actually quite common. A lot of people get tight, kind of upper back or neck muscles and they'll feel stiff in there. And that's because the upper traps are like this, like they said in the question are overactive, meaning they're doing more work than they should be doing to stabilize the shoulders. How do you deal with this? You train the opposing movement typically. So in this case, I would do rowing exercises while focusing on bringing the shoulder blades back and down. Like almost like you're trying to bring and put your shoulder blades in your back pockets. And what this will do is strengthen the mid-back and it'll offset the fact that your shoulders wanna shrug so much. When I used to train clients, this is super common. And what I would do is I'd have them do rows. They would use lightweight. They focus on the back and down squeeze. So we do a little pause at the squeeze. And then in between sets, I would take my hands or my elbows and I would press down into their traps and give them a little bit of a massage. Not because I'm a massage therapist, but rather because I'm trying to send a signal to the CNS that's telling those muscles to relax. And honestly, after two or three sets of doing that, you would notice tremendous benefit right away because automatically opposing muscles are active. You're pushing on the tight part. The CNS is saying, we don't need to be so tight in these muscles. They would feel better. I actually had a client that, I used to have to have him get a massage there before he came in and saw me to work with, because they were so overactive. They were like rock. This dude was jacked. He was like an older dude who's in his 50s. First time we ever worked out was like repping 315 just straight gorilla strength naturally, right? And he had these like massive shoulders and traps. And when we would go to do a row, I couldn't even get them to retract and depress. They were like so fixed in that position. So like, and I tried for a while and just couldn't get it, man. And I finally just, hey, you need to go see a massage therapist before you come in and see me get those things to relax a little bit. And then we could do a lot of the rowing because that was so bad. Yeah, I think too. Yeah, I mean, that was part of my assessment. I mean, especially rowing was, that was a big one you wanna look for. See their shoulders elevate and they're in that position while they're rowing. It's pretty obvious, but similar to what Sal said in terms of like being able to kind of point that out and add a little bits of external stimulus. So they knew, they could actually feel it and start like sending that signal. And then now if I had to, I'd take them and progress that and really try to like establish more like understanding of that function of elevating, retracting, depressing and then protracting so up this circle and so getting into those circles. So they had a little bit more understanding of like the function of all that, their shoulder blade and everything involved. What are you doing like wall circles with them then? Wall circles. Oh yeah, wall circles are really good for, you know, the other thing that's important to note when we're talking about this too is that, you know, you tell someone to do rows and like anything else, they have a tendency of, oh, I can do these rows and then they can increase weight. I would put more emphasis on the retraction and depression and like, and even like a isometric hold for like five seconds versus increasing your weight. Oh, prone cobra is a great way to prime before doing a row. Yeah, so don't get caught up in just because you're rowing that, you know, let's row heavier and get stronger and get stronger in this because it's a corrective thing we're trying to do. Your form is, I mean, your form's always more important but it's really more important when we're doing things for corrective purposes not to just increase the weight to increase the weight. You're far better off intensifying the isometric hold position which is the retraction and the depression of the shoulders and doing that and intensifying that, then you are, oh, let's add 15 more pounds just because I didn't do it because very easily as soon as you start reaching that like towards, you know, what's difficult for you the body will default back to its, you know, original pounds. Yeah, if you use any type of resistance that's at all intense, you're gonna go back to your old movement. In fact, this is how I would convince my clients is I would take my phone and I'd stand with them, first I'd stand with them, I'd have them do the row perfectly and then they do it and then I'd move away and I'd have them do it on their own and I'd film it, then I'd add a little bit of weight, have them do it again and I would show them very clear contrast and see, look, you didn't even notice that your form went the other way, but it did and that's because we went a little too heavy. You need to go light when you're doing correctional exercise because the four, you need to teach your body the technique. You need to connect to it. That's it. The next question is from Junin87. What are your views on cleansing or fast days? Cleansing or fast day? I don't like the terminology. Yeah, like here's the value of fasting is this, okay? The main values of fasting is this. And I know that there's studies that show that it benefits the body and you get salatophagy and you get, you know, neurogenesis. All that happens with a low calorie diet too, by the way. So you don't need to necessarily fast for all that, but here's the real benefits. Really it's, and for the right people, not everybody, but for the right people, it helps you develop a better relationship with food, really helping you detach from something that we tend to have a bad relationship with. So for example, if you did a 48 hour fast and again, it needs to be appropriate for you. If your issues are that you tend to starve yourself, fasting will make things worse. But if it's right for you, let's say you fast for 48 hours and in that 48 hour period, you feel stressed like you normally do or you're bored, like you normally do, or you wanna distract yourself or whatever, you're not eating. Now you're becoming more aware of how you tend to snack or eat when you're bored or stressed or at certain times. Now you know how to deal with feeling cravings. Cravings are very different from hunger and you can start to identify those things. So it can help with your attachment to food. It can help with your relationship to food. This is why fasting is present in every major world religion, why it's present in most spiritual practices, not for the fat loss or weight loss effects, but rather for lack of a better term, the spiritual benefits. But as far as helping the body, I mean, maybe for like specific cases, but otherwise, no, I wouldn't recommend anybody fast to cleanse their body. Yeah, I mean, I think it's good to mechanistically to take a break and let your digestive system sort of show out. Yeah, just to have time to function without bombarding it and inundating it all the time with food. And again, all those values that you've brought up in terms of being able to reflect and have all the cognitive benefits and step away from the ritual of food too. I think, I mean, all that is the main benefits you're gonna get from fasting. I just hate calling it detoxing because I know there's a lot of products and things. They even brought up isagenics, which I was familiar with. Like some of my clients were always asking me about that. And it's like this solution that they're trying to sell to basically like, you know, get all the quote unquote toxic chemicals and elements out of your body while you're going through this. Really the main benefit is just stepping away and having those other benefits that you'd mentioned earlier. I have a very specific way that I use fasting with clients and I don't use it for everybody. And I don't use it with somebody who's just starting with me. Most clients that are just getting started with a diet and a training program, like we're learning what all the foods are and macronutrients and figuring out where their caloric maintenance is at and most every client that I've ever taken, very rarely am I not trying to speed their metabolism by increasing their caloric and taking adding good foods to their diet. So much of what I do at the beginning, no matter what your goal is, even if it's weight loss, I'm adding to your diet at first. And then I use fasting to interrupt like us being regimen for a long time. So let's say you've been training with me for six months and the first three months was a lot of education and consistency and figuring out your body and where you're at and gets you to understand what carbs, fats and proteins are and what a good day of eating looks like you, bad day of eating looks like for you, and then stringing some consistent weeks and maybe months together of dieting correctly and eating well. And then I like to interrupt that, right? So now that they get it, they get the importance of getting all these macros in and being consistent with what they eat, then I like to just like take it away from them and say, okay, now we're gonna on Friday we're gonna fast for 24 hours. And it's literally for the purpose that Sal is talking about, which is to just I wanna first train you on how important it is for you to get all these foods and be consistent with it. And then I also want to interrupt that by showing you that, listen, you don't have to always be eating all these foods. Let's completely not have anything and start to understand what real hunger is like cause a lot of time people think they're hungry when a craving kicks up every two to three hours and detach from that. That is the only way I'm using it. I'm never using it for a, we need to detox your body or this may help us lose some more body fat or none of the things and all the ways that they promote fasting and all the benefits that come with it, I don't use it for those reasons. It's simply to interrupt somebody who has been training or eating and dieting consistently. And that normally looks like a competitor for me. It's rarely an average person. Most people, I would spend most of my time trying to get them to be consistent with their eating and be consistent with the things that we're trying to do and just throwing a day of fasting at that person who hasn't even strung two weeks together of eating similar type macros. I don't see a lot of value in interrupting that with a fast. I do though, when I would get a competitor who is like, for the last year they've been eating the same foods and they eat every two hours and they're like so, they feel like if they don't eat that they're gonna lose muscle and they'll never be able to build unless they're hitting these exact targets every day and they have this crazy attachment to food, those are the people that I see the most value to do a fast with. Now, I've also heard though to like one of my, well somebody that I hang out with every now and then he was telling me he was doing like sort of like a cleanse but it was all just like a lot of fiber and he would like every now and then intermittently throughout the year he would do like this an excessive amount of fiber to try and clear out all the shit in his body. Yeah, it's okay. It's not like a chimney, you know? It's not like or like pipes, you know where you think, oh, I gotta flush something through here to clean out all the pipes. It's not really how it works. So this terminology is all marketing kind of terminology. The cleansing effect that you may get from a fast is just cleansing you of your maybe bad attachment to food. So it's more of a mental thing than anything. But if you're one of those people that, you know, if you're bad relationship to food is skipping meals and not eating, you know, I've worked a lot of, oh yeah, they call that starving yourself. Terrible idea. Absolutely. Next question is from Dave Sheeran. Is there any detriment to always wearing sunglasses outside? I live in Florida and always have them on when outside. I've seen mixed answers from various articles. Okay, so you know what's interesting about this? So there actually is some potential detriments from wearing sunglasses. I've heard this. I was like curious to hear you answer this. Yeah, so your body receives signals from your skin, from the food that you eat, from your emotions, and also from your eyes. And when you go outside, UV rays go through the eyes and the pituitary gland reads the intensity of the UV rays. And then it puts, I think they're called melanocytes, if I'm not mistaken, into production which help your skin tan. So if you're somebody that, you know, if you sunburn easily, wearing sunglasses will actually make you sunburn even easier. Oh, interesting. So it actually would reduce, no joke, your skin, your body helps prepare your skin for how it can adapt to the sun based off of, or one of the factors is reading the UV rays through the eyes. So if you wear dark sunglasses and you go outside, your brain thinks it's darker than it really is. It thinks there's less UV rays than they really are. You're not gonna produce as many of these chemicals that help your skin adapt and you're more likely to get sun damage. Well, isn't there also health benefits to actually just the sun on your eyeballs, your eyes themselves? Like, I know that the juve did some research around the juve light and looking into the light is actually good for you. And I can't remember what it is, you know, on the worst with that, right? So you're the best with being able to read one study and remember. I know I read it and I know that, because I remember like, should I be wearing some sort of eye protection when I do this juve light all the time? And it was actually the opposite. It was really good for me to be looking at the juve light when I'm actually doing it. Now that's different than the sun, right? So you don't wanna look at the sun that can really image your eyes. No, of course not directly at it, but being outside and that's the UV. Yeah, like not looking directly at it, but just still receiving that and it not being filtered by a sunglass, I would think that there are other health benefits for your eyes. There are, there are mood boosting benefits. There's hormone boosting benefits. And I don't know about you guys, but I noticed I used to wear sunglasses all the time. So I used to love wearing sunglasses. They look cool. If you're at the pool, you know, when you're, especially when you're a kid, you can put on sunglasses and look at people. And then you know, you're looking at them type of deal. Yeah, every guy does this. They don't know I'm looking at them. Nobody can tell I'm wearing sunglasses. But, you know, I remember. Don't love us in that, you pervert. Yeah, shit. I saw both of you guys in space. Dude, if they could see what I'm looking at. Yeah, don't tell anybody. No, but here's a deal. I noticed this as an adult. The more I wore them, the more intolerant I became to the sun. So I'll go outside in the sun and I'm like, oh, I can't, I need my sunglasses. I never wear them now. That almost never happens to me anymore. So I think you also start to lose your ability to adjust to the changing light. So now I'm not saying don't wear sunglasses. But I think if you were, the question is if you're wearing them all the time, can it be detrimental? Yeah. I mean, the studies do show that. Right. I've heard this and I've actually, yeah, I've tried to like challenge myself to kind of not wear them as frequently because it was the first thing when I get in my truck that I'm putting my sunglasses on cause I get the glare and everything right away. And I'm always like so squinty and then I'll get a headache from being so squinty with that. So for me, it's just like the level of brightness. Like I'll try and like, I'm very squinty. That's a secret. I can't see. I'm always like that. I hate it. Yeah, it comes with the skin. But have you noticed any difference from wearing them or not wearing them? Whether or not you get sunburn easier or not? I haven't noticed that. Cause I wonder how strong the effect is, right? I also want to say, you know that Felix Gray, I'm over here just plugging in all our sponsors. Felix Gray, this was not intended, I promise. But no, Felix Gray makes sunglasses too. So I wonder if there's some difference in their sunglasses, right? Yeah, I think, I mean, a lot of it has to do with comfort, you know, if you're out in the sun. I mean, and that's where I could see potentially the benefit. Like if I'm laying out at the beach, I mean, I might need sunglasses, especially if you're laying on your back and you're trying to tan or relax or whatever. And I don't know how strong an effect this is. I would guess that this effect is more important to consider if you're fair skinned, right? So if you're somebody that is very sensitive to the sun, then you may want to consider this, you know, if you're like I am when I go out in the sun and if I go out in the sun for a couple of days, I'm very, very dark. Probably not that big of a deal, big of a problem if I wear sunglasses or not. But for someone like Justin, maybe that's something you should consider. Yeah, but I look cool, so I'll keep doing it. That's true. Look, Mind Pump is recorded on video as well as audio. Come check us out on YouTube, Mind Pump Podcast. You can also find us all on Instagram, even though I'm being shadow banned.

And I think sometimes this is tough for dads. You don't want to show your kids that you're tired, that you're stressed, that you get sad, or that you show anything other than strength and whatever. I think that can be a big mistake because it can teach your children to not be okay.
