 Good morning, kids. Welcome to the video of Monday. What'd I say? Just another manic Monday. Typical Monday before we lined up, so we figured we'd vlog it out, show you guys what it would do, what my life is alike. So far, I spared you the morning. I woke up, got the emails done. You know, check the grandma to see what's happening. Just going to say what's up, too. The internet, and now it's 9.15. I got up probably about 8 o'clock. So handle the emails, all the boring things that I can't really show you. But we got a day ahead of us, man. So morning routine, that's good. I'm actually in the middle of something I've done in the past. I don't know if we've talked about it in the past, but something that I do from time to time is I try to, oh, look at this. I'll put a little light on, too, look at this. Oh. Something I do time to time is I try to eliminate things from my life. Now, I don't think I'm really addicted to much, although I do have addictive personality traits. I haven't been like addicted. I can't tell you the last time I think, but any of you can feel it sometimes. Like, man, I can't get rid of this, you know? Like, or you say like, eventually you're aware enough that you're addicted. I can't tell you the last time I've been addicted to something, so. But to remain in control, and just to test myself, to test the struggle, to test the brain power, to test the discipline, I'm cutting out energy drinks, which isn't easy, because look, we got a rock star, we got 3D energy somewhere. I got all these energy drinks. I'm cutting out energy drinks. What was the other thing I was cutting out? I can't even remember. This early, I haven't had my coffee yet. So I'm still drinking coffee. I'm not trying to cut the caffeine. Oh, alcohol. See, that one I'm definitely not addicted to. I really don't even drink that much, but I was getting into the habit of having like a beer here and there, which I don't think's a bad habit for the normal human being. But for me, it's a non-factor really, because I don't, because I'm always worried about like working out, being hungover, wanting to train, wanting to sleep good, sleep so important to me, and alcohol often can mess up some of those routines, you know? Whether it's a hangover, just messing up your routine, and then you end up eating a bunch of junk food and you feel bad the next day and you can't train or I can't wake up or whatever it might be. So for me though, I was also just feeling down afterwards. Like I felt like I like sad or like my mood, I got more negative the day after drinking, and that's even if I had one glass of wine or one beer, which is typical for me. Like two glasses max is what I would have in a weekend, but so I'm cutting out energy drinks, cutting out beer and wine, which is mostly what I would drink, and then straight coffee. So waking up to your coffee routine. Now I know a coffee kinda sore, but I do like my coffee. Simple tip for most of you. One, to make better coffee, get rid of the cure egg, that thing sucks. A pour over is really easy, you don't need like any special talent, but even if you don't wanna do a pour over and you're just doing whatever if you're doing a fuckin' drip or French press or whatever you're into, two things you can do. One, use filtered water or use like good water. So I always use water from my fridge, the better the water, the better the coffee. And then two, always use the bean and grind it yourself. Tastes a little bit fresher, you get a little bit more of the taste, the flavor involved rather than if you have it already ground and it's sitting in the bag forever. So I always use beans, grind them myself, and I always use fancy water, or not fancy water, but you give what I'm saying. I'm lucky enough to kinda work for myself so I put these breaks in, I wake up, I get like the stuff I really hate off my back, the emails, the reach-outs, all that kinda whatever. And then, so I drink this coffee, I'm right here at the Twitch station. This is where I Twitch out. Little stream deck, also my working office, but that's where I stream every night. So I drink about half my coffee here, just kinda chill, and then I have a rooftop patio. So every morning I've been going up there trying to make it more of a habit to be a little bit more mindful. So I go on the roof, turn on some music, something chill, just kinda sit there and kinda think, just kinda think. I don't really got anything to it. I'm no guru, I'm no meditation master, but I think it's sometimes good just to kinda be with yourself and be with your thoughts and think about your life, your actions, who you are as a person. So every morning I try to get some of that, then that kinda ends up ramping into what I have to do for the day and prepping for the day, and then we get after it. So give this thing a thumbs up, we're getting into the day, let's go. You guys know I've been on that vintage? I've been on a fucking spree. This tee is Fuego, Nego, I don't know if you guys know, but you did this with Uniclo and then I think somebody else tied at it. So it's actually not that vintage. But it's like a heavy shirt. I don't know why, it's just like a heavy cotton shirt, even though sometimes you sweat a little more when you work out and it gets real sweaty, real heavy. It just feels comfy, I think it sits well. Just some basic Reebok shorts. These are just my favorite cause they're stretchy. They're super comfy. Let me show you guys. We keep the house pretty damn clean, to be honest. I'm not that messy in corner, it's not messy and extra clean. But I guess when you become a homeowner, it's bound to happen eventually. I didn't think it would to me because we're not that handy. But instead of always renting like the lime or bird bicycles and stuff, if you guys seen that, we try to create our own garage here basically. And what happened was we got issues. So, open my garage. I basically wanted it so when all the friends came over, all the homies, we had enough whips for everybody cause like I obviously have my car. My car's fine and dandy. It's a beautiful car. It's reliable, it's great, it's very comfortable. I'm very lucky and love my car. But we live on a grid downtown and I'm always just trying to ride. I'm never trying to drive anywhere. Like right now we're going to the podcast, I'm gonna ride. So we've got two scooters. Scooter number one, scooter number two. The issue is scooter number two has the same issue but they come with these pumped up tires, right? And it's really hot outside. And so I think they melt and then the tube is easier to bust but the issue is it's on a rim like a car but we don't know how to get these solid tires that we bought on there. So maybe you guys can comment below if you guys know what the heck we're doing. So these ones don't have air or a tube. So they're right a little rougher but they're less likely to, but they just won't break. And so these ones still have air in them and Connor likes to scoot, I like to bike but same thing happened with my bike over here. Cause I don't know if the tube or what busted but I got a little repair guy coming in shortly. I think this week actually is a mobile repair guy cause I don't have a truck. So this is my favorite bike, this is my Bianchi. This is what I ride everywhere. Gift from my parents back in the day. I just got a repair and so that's my favorite bike by far and this is just another little local bike but this thing's same thing. It's like too flat to ride. Like it's rideable but something happens or maybe you can just pump it up for me. I don't know, I'm pretty bad with mechanical stuff. And like I can fix most things if I want to fix most things but the issue is I don't have any tools. All the tools are at my mom's house and I can't get the bikes to my mom's. I could go out there and grab the tools and come back and you guys get it. So we've got the mobile bike repair but this is the main whip. Just a little Bianchi. She's a real beaut. In the studio, this is where the magic happens. 50% fax. The one only Jim McD. The man who gave me. Belief from a young age. Saw potential and young Anakin. Now I'm here. Studio is dope though. Jim's made it look really cool. Hopefully there's nothing secret in here. I like to claim this side even though they're both Jim's side but I claim this one. Well I kind of stacked it up on that side for you. With you in my head. Do you see my Batman shirt? I should have wore it today. I got a sick 1990s Batman and Baton shirt. It's pretty dope. 90s huh? eBay. I'm an eBay hunter. Wow. So we're talking to Michael Chavez today. If you guys want to check out 50% fax, iTunes, every media is in the link below. Also brand new YouTube channel for it coming soon. It'll be there but we basically take a topic. We try to analyze it, ask questions to ourselves, maybe answer some things we know or have heard and then we bring on a guest answer and today we're talking about boy, Halo Champ, Halo Stud, maybe the Kobe Bryant. Of Halo video games. Optic flame sword. So we're going to talk about it. Then we're going to talk to him about it. Then we're going to talk about pro gaming, training. How do you train to be a better gamer? I would love to be better at Call of Duty. How to stay fit, how to stay mentally ready and then maybe the process of making money in that world. So we shall see and then I have to actually get out of here soon because I gotta go to the grocery store. Got the podcast, quick store run. We've got to train an hour and a half for ready. So I didn't film in the store rushing a little bit but it's not that big of a deal. Like I said, I'm trying to cut energy drinks. So I just grabbed a bunch of these coffees randomly. I went on my bike in my backpack so I couldn't grab what I wanted. I wanted to grab a huge, basically like one of these of Cold Brew for pre-workout. So I don't like hot coffee before I train. Just feels a little weird. I ate a bunch of granola. Shout out to Chabani. I eat a bunch of yogurt and granola. Talking too fast. Chabani's hooked your brother up with a ton of yogurt. That's kind of one of my main protein sources right now. And so I typically throw granola in there but it's like kind of expensive for what it is so I went with this. And so I might dump that in some Nola right now and get a snack. These are for training just cause I get a little dry mouth while I'm lifting. It's hot as shit here in Northern California. So the gym needs a little hot. And then I, as always, bite meals always take care of me but that's kind of how I eat a couple of those. The homies over at bite meals send me meals. So I eat those a day. These perfect bars. They're kind of like a protein bar but they're higher in fat than anything else. So that's kind of my breakfast with my coffee. Ew, wee, ew. I don't know if you can see that, it doesn't really matter. But that's basically all I ate today is I ate one of these bars on the ride home and had coffee this morning. So I need to get some nutrients in me somehow. And calories, so I think I'm gonna do the cereal. I'm gonna save these Gatorades for the lifting. And then we might have to drive. Connor just busted a flat in the other scooter, like I told you this. It's hard being a gangster. So we might drive to Ben's. I like riding because I like getting some vitamin D and I also like getting a little warm up but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Back home, drink some coffee, chill for about half hour. Second look of the day. Reminds me of an afternoon, like where I get my shirts and everything but majority of it's eBay and just hunting. You can shout out the boys yesterday Fitz. They're a vintage store in Vegas. They have a good Instagram or stuff online but mostly just rocking shit that I actually like. You know, like I grew up with Space Jam. I love hoop, rocking a bunch of Jurassic Park stuff. I love Jurassic Park. I love Star Wars, so I got a bunch of Star Wars tees. I'm not into vintage just to be vintage. So it's not like I'm rocking Metallica shirts because I don't really listen to Metallica. There's a couple bands shirts I've been looking for but it's just whatever I come across that I like. I've been buying some like vintage Reebok shorts from the 80s that I think are sick. This hat looks vintage but this one's actually just retro, they made it a couple of years ago but it's still sick, kind of spotted. This is one of my favorite tees. Time to get after it. I think we got front squats. Maybe cleans, definitely a push day. So some dumbbell press and triceps. We'll see what we get into. I had to rush, I couldn't even say what's up. I literally switched my shirt. I'm sorry I forgot the camera. I ate another bowl of yogi, a little bit of the yogurt. I'll show you exactly what I get. But another bowl of yogurt, I literally just slammed it down, I've been home about 10 minutes. Nothing more, nothing less. I just started this stream upstairs. I feel bad because I'm late. This is the yogurt we get, it's a Giovanni Greek yogurt with no flavoring and no sugar. So those are the stats on it and for me it's literally like a protein shake. And then throwing the cereal in there. You know, it's like just a little bit of Carbis, a little bit of crunch for the texture because this is like kind of sour to be honest with you. I don't even like yogurt to begin with but I like protein stores that I can get easily and quickly. That I can't or don't have to cook. I can just throw it down and then I'm gonna probably have a bite meal tonight to end off the night but we got at least two hours of Twitch. Maybe more, depends on the chats banging out. But we stream every single day. They literally just showed up. Here's the Twitch stream. Here's the wide view for your boys, a little glowing. Shout out to my boy Jacob Ross for these sick pictures. Bless in the background. And of course the one only Barquan and Gio got me these. I'm kind of a nerd. Love it boys. Love it. Time to play some Call of Duty and I'll probably catch up with you guys before bed. Didn't have time to vlog it. Again, we're rushing around. Oh, my knee hurts. Oh boys, I'm getting old. Basically just ate a bite meal. Chicken Alfredo, it's like 60 carbs, maybe 20 fat, 10, yeah, something like that. 40, 50 protein. It's about eight o'clock. I got a squad of four of us. So we're just jamming out on Call of Duty. We'll probably keep going. We're gonna end the vlog here, man. Hopefully you guys liked a little bit of a day in the life. I'm gonna grab a little protein bar, call it a night. I'll catch you guys in the next video. Appreciate you guys. I'm outta here.
