Yeah We obviously wouldn't go in that one. I want to take me. This is come on. Yeah Obviously not that Speaking of direct reflection speaking of penises Did you guys see that that that article I shared on my insta story like was it last week the dude with the Was it 18 inch penis? He qualifies for disability? No, yes Yes, Doug see me pull it up. It was 18 inches 18. I'm more present you qualify for disability Yeah, congratulations. You've won it like there's somewhere in the form that says like if you have a penis larger than 15 inches You can this is really gonna restrict you. Well, yeah, you're gonna have a hard time. Yeah, I could argue that I mean, I think he petitioned like he petitioned them and he's like I can't on that thing So let's talk about the the man with one and a half foot long member claims work is hard to come by Does he just tape it to one leg or what? I have no idea. I really want to see it I want to see like a foot and a half like I want to see it Well, you know what else is a foot and a half like a four-year-old like that's as big as a kid Oh, dude a foot and a half is that don't be comparing those. That's a lot maybe other than the same even there You know, you could do with the dick that big what you can definitely you would know you would know you could you could Would you know you could definitely suck it your own? Yes? I'm only like three inches away Yeah, I'm only like three inches away. Give you another foot. You don't even have to learn yoga. I know I mean like it's ready to go. You know, you know, it's funny. I'm not even yeah You know what's funny? I would bet I would bet all my life savings on the fact that he has done that of course Every man has tried at one point. Just see just to see every guy has tried The thing is is that he can so you can't even like I mean if you can yeah, right an extra But brother for sure what if he gets caught up and finishes That's that's the line-crosser that's when you didn't say like what have I done like cool Oh, no, that's definitely something everybody's tried at least once but no what I was gonna say is he could take his own dick and Fucking hit someone with it like a bat like a little mini bat. Yeah. I mean like you know those bats you get at the Yeah, oh, look at that. There's a picture of it. Well, it's all blurred Knockdown where you know, it's gross about that picture Doug blur it so they blur it out He's obviously holding it looks like a fucking look at a loaf of bread The gross thing about that picture is that's an older man Obviously, he's got his dick out so he's got no pants on he's a full sleeve like a like a full sleeve shirt on in a hat Yeah, at least Just go naked I mean, it's a weird. Yeah, why you gotta wear it and he's got a weird look on his face Yeah, you know what that I still I don't I don't understand just like working out That's the look of dominance So the only here it is let's talk about the positives and the negatives of having an 18 inch dick Are there any well, okay? There are some positive there are positive positive number one I don't care what group of men you're around you have the biggest stick And you know it and there gives you there's a different swag you have when you know that Well, think about this you're talking with a group of guys everybody's talking shit one guy's like I make I got a Ferrari All you gotta do is I got the Nobel Peace Prize. Yeah, I got the biggest day You just pull it out, you know like you win still you beat that guy pull it out put on the floor Yeah, take a look at that instant dominance. Yeah, that's number one. That's a good thing number two cancer You know I got a big day. I can't think of any other positives though Yeah, there isn't a lot because it let's be honest most women would be very turned off by that like it's too much I don't know if they'd be turned off. I know there's a couple they would like Sluts that are listening right now going. Oh, not me, baby But for the most part most women would be like a foot and a half dick is too much They would want to see they'd like look from afar, you know, I mean maybe we wouldn't get all dude I just really scary. I just realized something he only ever puts the tip in You know that old trick you played when you're you know Put the whole he ever does how frustrating if you're that guy too Well, yeah, you can't ever go all in the other question I have is can he get a can he get an erection like a full erection, right? It'd be too much too much weight. Well Like you know, there's no way you said too much weight, but then it lifts itself Then what I was saying is the love the blood loss, right? Would you get dizzy? Yeah, think of the drop them definitely get fatigued You're saying to fill it out quicker. Yeah That's gonna be a little prioritize for ports of blood right there. Where's the blood gonna come from? Anyway, I mean, I lose feeling in one arm. I'm sure you're prone to more. I'll ask for sure. I'm yeah anyway Where did you come? Where do you what are articles? Are you reading to come across stuff like this? I was trying to see how normal I am and They said apparently I'm Somebody sent it to me, which is even weirder This article right there. Yeah, somebody DM me this article So I shared it on my insta story and it's true. Look at that. There's an x-ray What is that a CT scan of his of his junk? Whoa? That's that's a lot of yeah, it's a lot of recruitment there anyway Anyway, I had a good time with you guys at Discovery Bay. Yeah. Yeah, man What is that area anyway, it's uh, it's the probably the nicest homes they have built in the Delta Hmm, and the Delta's kind of like wah wah, right? It's not like the nicest like piece of how far does it go? It goes all the way to goes to the ocean. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, it taps into the ocean So there are ocean taps in that how everyone look at it. So it's it's literally like a big canal It's like all these canal canal. Yeah canal canal canal. Yeah, you're saying it like Chanel with a K But it's so it's not canal. It's canal canal anyway continue. Did I say I said canal canal. Yeah canal. You said canal Remember Fucking guy. I think now he just looks for him. Yeah He's like here's a 50 He's gonna make up a word right here, and he's like trying to be the first one to catch it Yeah, so it's it's it's not like really sexy, but Discovery Bay they've built all these beautiful You know multi-million dollar homes monster homes. Yeah on the water and it's a little area That's really nice. My buddy just bought a house over there. It's a really cool place And you know, it's got a boat dock right there So you just pull your boat right up there cruise all over the place. So it's it's a nice area where we were at I mean the rest of the Delta is kind of like that's all right I just have fun man because we get together and then with the goal of creating new things and yeah, it's a great State of thought that it's a great state of flow. It's my probably my favorite thing that we do It's always it's always fun for me to see Because we've now done so so many different homes right where we go to Is like which one creates the most, you know, like where where where did we get like the most creative or the most productive? Oh, yeah, I'd have to say, you know this the last trip was pretty fucking productive Dude, we put it on fire. We put together some new stuff. I mean, I thought Reno was the magical one forever I agree this one actually Yeah, I don't know it can't get hot when you think about not only what we created But then also just this the little little things that we got to touch on with the business I never realized how important this was. I remember when I got back I told Katrina I said, you know, we're gonna have to make this a regular monthly thing and the reason why is because You know, we didn't have to record anything that day. We didn't have to record any podcasts We don't have to do any youtube so it truly gave us an entire We're out of the studio Yeah, we're out of the studio So 48 hours of not thinking about the day-to-day stuff and like really evaluating our business and saying, okay What's going well? What are we doing really good? What do we what do we see that we're fault? We're failing on where can we be better and just the whole conversation non-stop was about all these things that I felt like We needed to address and and I know we have our minutes meeting and stuff like that And that seems like we we tell but that's like seems to me more like it's future stuff Like we want to where we want to be or taking care of like pressing issues that we need to sign something or whatever But this allows us to be in a creative environment where we can be very creative about the business and then also Can start to address helps you look at it differently too All right, so it's like you see the same things like constantly in the same environment But yeah, this always helps you to kind of look a little bit higher from a different angle And then it starts to kind of help fill a lot of those holes Oh, you just you just wait you just wait listeners. We got some new stuff coming for you You just wait. Just we were all fired his tagline. We're gonna fill them holes He definitely was the one who came up with that one We're going back and we're trying to figure out who came up with each one I was like, you know what that is definitely just he just used that line I haven't heard that before did you guys so you guys you guys saw that that instagram post I did right where I talked about this is when right when they when they passed the new tax cuts I think I blocked you last week. So since then I haven't seen you So I did a post on the tax cuts that they had passed which are massive. It's one of the biggest tax cuts in Oh, yeah in decades 230 comments Underneath it just I didn't know people would get angry over getting more of their own money. It's a weird It's fucking very bizarre. I read it. I'm weird. I go on both of you guys's pages And I and I read like the comments when I this is not all the time like when I get a chance I do this And there seems to be like a type of person that comments on each of our pages That's different than the others There's all there's like we have like Some people that talk to all of us all the time But there's obviously certain people that gravitate towards each of our pages, right? Yeah And sal definitely gets He's got a large and I'm gonna insult all your followers right now. They're gonna y'all mess I just I'm gonna lose like some all the salvians. No that they I feel like because they know he's like the He's the one who remembers all these studies. He's the super intellect over here. They love to like They kind of it's like they want to they want to uh when being a big guy when you walk in a bar You see everybody if I can size you up. It's like everyone's kind of sizing him up. Yeah That's what I feel like your pages you guys don't like pecking Sal will say something on there if fucking putting the bait out there and here Here come all the other intellects or Want to be intellects Put their two cents in and it's really like let me see if I can handle this The worst is like the person that'll read something like some clickbait like article or something and be like, oh I totally know about this subject. Good. Boom. I'm writing something. You're wrong big mistake Right, right. No, I couldn't believe how many people were it's so crazy how shit gets spun so much Like the media will spin things to the point where People are actually mad that there's tax cuts. How weird is that you're gonna get more of your own money? Remember when I was I was so fucking crazy I was having a conversation with one of my best friends and like he was upset about it before or it was He was pessimistic about it. He's like, I'm gonna end up paying more. I know it's for the rich Let me put it. Let me put it. Let me put it in the calculator. It's not gonna work out the way that it says on paper He ended up with the savings. Yeah, something like which is hilarious. I'm like 80 of the tax Savings or whatever go to middle-class people. Most people are gonna say are gonna make money not to mention Big business saved, you know, when they pay less of their the taxes to the government They spend their money how they see fit and they typically spend it better than bureaucrats do It's just the way it is, but I people were so it's so funny how people get angry over that How do you get angry over that? Well, I thought for sure, you know what when people get angry about things like that Especially when you're talking about like economics, it's like the same thing when people get angry with nutrition It's irrational to me. That's your first flag. You have an issue Like if you get angry over it Like if you get angry over something like that like that if it triggered you like hello You got an issue here like what whether you like it or not it is or also wouldn't trigger you Otherwise you could just have an intelligent conversation back and forth But if you get angry over some shit, it's like you just give yourself away. Oh, I love to give yourself away I love the discussion. Yeah, I love the discussion we have No, I'm I'm excited and I like I like when you put stuff like that because uh One of the things I really really appreciate that you do and I feel like all of us do if anyone goes off the handle the most probably me Who crosses line, but I think you you do a really good job of Uh of going back and forth in a in a healthy debate with people Where a lot of people that are reading the conversation Benefit from it because you allow the other person to explain themselves. It doesn't turn into a name calling thing It's I'm going to challenge this person and let's keep going back and forth And I love that and some people think it's like, you know, you have this one side of people that think it's oh Oh, it's stupid and oh, why do you even engage? But it's like no I think when you do it with the intent that we do most of the time Which is all all engaged in a good intelligent conversation with someone someone talking shit It's like I'm not going to waste my time with but if you have you're calling it's calling something out And you want to get into a conversation like let's do it So people can learn prod you a little bit to where you you know, your sources are in like, you know Maybe I learned something from and yeah, exactly like give me more details like if you can't provide more details And you just want to see now like it's this way Like you're just the people are about your kid nutrition and politics dude nutrition politics and religion Well, it's because because it's so Why can't we just discuss it because there's a lot of information out there that's designed to sway your opinion And it's clever the way they say it for example If you hear people who are say that they're opposed to tax cuts They'll say they're opposed to tax cuts because they'll say Oh the wealthy are just getting another break. So in other words They're upset that they're not getting something and someone else is so that's the that's the the thing that's getting tapped into with that Now someone could argue and say we're going to have more debt Which is an intelligent That's an intelligent point and there is validity to that but the whole like but the rich are getting a break Um, are you paying more? Oh, you're not but they are getting more back. Why is that a bad thing? So I ask questions because I want to know What people think and what the problem what's the real problem? Not just what you're told the problem is and one of them is you know understanding that Whenever you collect taxes, it's a you're automatically destroying wealth every single time you do that Just from the simple act of collecting it and then having a bureaucracy to handle it and then redistribute redistribute it somehow That costs money by itself. So you collect a thousand dollars Even if you do it as efficiently as you can it's you're you've already destroyed wealth just in that collection and redistribution process So that alone destroys wealth So when I try to explain that to people it starts to make more sense But it's it's it's there those nutrition Right now we base everything off of how right now we base everything off of how it directly affects us Which is not like true economics, dude Now if you're global economics if we're looking at how we're going to affect the entire country and the world Like my personal income and how it affects me should not be the only thing that dictates whether i'm pro or anything Also, well, here's so just because it might hurt my taxes 100 up or down Whatever that may be like to me that those are all arbitrary numbers because what really fucking matters Is what it potentially could do for the economy and hopefully that in turn Maybe it doesn't pay me right now But hopefully it pays me in three or five years when we actually it's a fundamental question Who do you who do you think spends money the best? Do you think a an individual entity or organization that has that didn't earn it and has no Consequences for wasting it spends it better than the person who earned it and who pays the consequences Of spending it poorly. Who do you think's going to spend it better now? I I'll all day long a lot of people don't understand what that means like that because we don't People don't understand the federal reserve and how we do with money and how we reprint money They don't understand that like how how the government doesn't pay for if I give so if you had 10 grand If I give you $10,000 and I say to you Go to vegas and gamble this and by the way, whatever you lose i'll replace You're going to gamble differently than if it was your $10,000 and if you lost it you lost it Right, it's just a different decision-making process. So when when people keep more of their money they tend to spend it Better than than when someone else takes that money from them and pays no consequences for Fucking it up and that's why you get lots of waste So I you know when and you can make the argument all day long about Are they going to you know, what are they going to spend it on and whatever they spend it on? Typically better than what someone else is going to spend that other person's money on Well, I used the example of my buddy and I said I know this is all anecdotal because it's our own personal business But you know if the if those new tax laws, you know save us Let's say, you know Hypothetically a hundred to two hundred thousand dollars a year like that's not going out and buying me a Lamborghini That's now I have this money I can reinvest into staffing which we need so bad Which is the number one thing that you need when you need to scale So it would be people We'd rivet which would be more jobs and more money going to somebody who actually now has more money You could now go spend it in the and this makes more sense. Let's even go back. Let's go back a few Let's go back a few and I know someone's going like oh, that's not how everybody. Yeah, I know It's not how every company would there's gonna be some greedy ceo that puts it all in his pocket That's the point. It doesn't have to be it doesn't matter So let's say you did take that extra hundred thousand dollars and you went and bought yourself a new brand new corvette expensive corvette There's people that make that car. There's a company that produces that car There are people who are employed to to produce that car. There are people who make the tires in that car There are people that you know make the gas that goes in the car like it's still not bad It's still just because it looks like an expensive car and you think yourself like oh, you know That's a waste of it still is Is something that needs to be produced by other people and kept up by other people Well, what would it what will then some people will say well What if they just took that money and just threw it in the bank then and didn't give it to anybody? That's where your that's where investments come from. You know the money that goes in the bank doesn't just sit there That's very important money for the economy. That's how loans come from that's where investment comes from So it's a fundamental belief. Do you think? Bureaucracy will spend money better than the people who earn it and who pay the price for spending it poorly Who do you think's going to spend it better? That's the that's the fundamental question Then there's a moral question You earned it. Why shouldn't you keep more of what you earn? There's that's the moral question as well But that's a discussion now. We can have an intellectual discussion But not the whole like well, he gets a cut and I don't so what yeah, you should too everybody should The argument shouldn't be he shouldn't the argument should be I also should yeah It's weird. It is weird. Well, like I said, it gets back in it It's like a you know politics religion nutrition all three of them you get the same type of somebody identifies with something and a lot of times it's Something with one of those three things has impacted their life Significantly or somebody close to them significantly that now they identify with that So with politics it's very common that you see somebody who Doesn't even have a side they stand on very much until something You know affects them to where they lose a job or they can't get a surgery You know or they get the weight in line for something or something fucks them personally And now they become they then are now emotional over the decision And now all their research everything that they look for is to confirm what they're already angry about And now you become this zealot, you know, you get to become into this person Is so dogmatic and attach themselves. I feel the same. I see the same thing with religion I see it with nutrition nutrition you get somebody who is you know Seen results for the fruit nutrition and working out they find something that works really good for them The changes their life they're in the best shape of their life. They've never felt like this evangelist Right now now they fucking identify with Just that way of training or just that way of eating. It's no fucking different politics religion nutrition All of them people get like yeah, it's crazy. It's like it's like if somebody said, you know I I don't eat wheat because I feel so much better my skin's clear I've lost weight and then someone else comes out with a study and says, oh You know wheat's not a problem. Everybody, you know wheat isn't doesn't cause issues And then the other person gets pissed off First off, it doesn't change the fact that you feel better without it. So what the fuck's the difference if a study says You see what I'm saying, right? But yeah, there's that whole identification process and it prevents good Debate and discussion and you know, it's funny social media is encouraging that so much man You're going you ever you scroll through your feed. I start seeing articles about shit. I want to read That's when I know I need to start liking other stuff. Oh, yeah, you know, I'm saying no Like I want to read the opposite because it can't be all what I never I I speculated that this is going to be one of the greatest challenges going forward of the next 10 years Or so is this generation coming up that's already it's already formulated for them, man They already by time they fall around forever and get all this information like exactly what they're into what they like Right feed it right up to so it'll it'll it'll be interesting to see what what things come out to help That generation coming up to find things that conflicts with their already their beliefs or what they've been reading already Like what are you gonna have to go somewhere to research that? Let's see some smart guy will come up with some algorithm that like, okay, all the things that you like Here's the challenger. Here's the opposite page Oh, shit, then you got to trust somebody to do that for you. Yeah, right What are you guys doing for New Year's by the way? Oh, I'm going down to pick up a new puppy Oh, shit. So yeah Right before the New Year a white mariner Yeah, because my other one passed last year So that was this is one of those things my wife like it was it's actually almost a year exactly, right When we did paul check episode I don't know if people even knew because I didn't talk about it Yeah, that like my dad my dog got hit by a car like that day. Do the kids know you're getting another dog Yeah, no, they know we told them like Christmas. They're all pumped. Yeah, what do you guys name it?

I mean you could but then it's like, you know the trauma and all that, you know Like my friend actually had them like creating like basically fly it from the breeder from like kansas to his house Yeah, which you know, the dog was like super like skittish forever So I saw that and I was like, what are those dogs bred for? What's the what's the history of that breed? It's all is it's hunting Uh, yeah hunting. Yeah, well kind of like a bird dog. Oh, yeah, like pheasants and stuff Is their their fur is supposed to be is it waterproof? Um or water resistant. It's I'm sure it is. Yeah, because they like the short area. Yeah, they're always in the water I don't know about that. I never heard that What are bulldogs bred to hunt? They're for herding bulls, bro Skateboards, no not the England at the one you have you're talking about the old you're talking about the like the way they Used to look well, that's all part of it's like saying you're not full italian because you don't have the same It seems no dude. I look like it's you bro The a modern like the english bulldog you have does not looks nothing like the bulldog does too They're stretched out. They're taller and longer You're not as agile. You're not as big as the old greek gods You know saying dude psyched the same thing, bro You get to claim italian dude and all the italians great traits My english bulldogs get to have all the great fucker. No the original the original bull baiting dogs were like taller and uh They look more like the american bulldog. Yeah Yeah, yours was American bulldog cross with an english bulldog looks kind of like with the old bulldogs. Yeah, because your dog's bred to be just cute Yeah, I mean that's what they're bred for right to be stick your hand in his mouth to see how cute he is Well, I don't mean they're not you know what I mean. They're they're bred to be like no And they are lovers dude. They're definitely they're definitely, uh, you know family dogs. They can be around kids Oh, I love squeezing those dogs. Yeah. No, they're they're definitely. How are they with kids? Really good actually Bentley gets a little excited and he's he doesn't know his own weight So there'll be times where he goes like lick a kid's face and he'll send the kid back like four or five feet So I do get a little nervous and if the kid's energy is really high So like the dogs pick up on the energy, right? I'm always trying to teach Katrina this too And she fucking dogs start fighting. She starts screaming getting scared too. I'm like that just heightens the whole fucking situation I'm like you gotta take control and be the alpha when that happens So anyways that the dog when when kids come in if their energy is really high and they're like Screaming and yelling and like hitting the dog and running something like that They think they're they'll want to play with them and they'll they'll elevate and then when they go to jump on them Some of that they'll send the kid flying. Did you get them fixed? No, you didn't so they're they got full We got balls. They're fully loaded. I don't want my dogs at all. Hold on a second though But then it's just the two of them. So they just Prison love they don't really get a chance to no and they don't they don't bang each They don't like like if one of them tries to get on the other one It gets because you're around though. Oh, maybe maybe when you're not around maybe I have cameras though. So I've definitely seen him one of them attempt on the other one when one of them's in heat The other one of them is fucking horny whatever is ends up Wait girls are in heat, right? So whenever one of them wants wants to he'll try and mount the other one And they end up getting in a fight. So frustrated. You got to get him some Some dog you did some dog thing. No, they wouldn't we travel a lot when we travel We take them over the doggie hotel and there's plenty of chicks over there for them Do they really get to bang other dogs when they're over there? I'm sure smell them. I personally think she She's not supposed to but I'm sure she does let them because There are that's the our breeder and they have great genes and it would be great to get free sperm from my dog And I'm not going to say otherwise if he's over there having a good time Are they super happy like relaxing cool when you get back? Yeah, all right, so they probably are I'm providing free sperm right now for Somebody's dogs. They're going to the must I should I get I think you get paid 27 or three grand for that plus the what yeah But they have to successfully impregnate Right or just three grand or so a lot of times they do that or the the price of the dot like one dog So you as the stud if you're the male if you have the the male if you own the male And you set them out to like someone like that It's normally the price of the deal with the dog's worth or the first your pick of the litter And so it's we we could be setting that up bulldogs having sex has got to be hilarious. Yeah, it's not that weird Yeah A lot of sounds yeah, lots of like gutter old I used to have I used to have a pug and uh, he was he would have a pug Oh a pug you're so cute. You're a pug guy. He was very strange He uh, he was after watching men in black Bro, he used to sit in the sun and he just sit and stare up in the sun So I used to call him a philosopher because he just because I feel like he's thinking about some shit right now He's going deep. You know what I mean? Like he's just like me. He's going where did he throw that? This was he really throwing a stick or was he faking out? But the other thing too is he was easily the horniest dog. I've ever seen my entire life easily the horniest dog I've ever any dog that came over my house. He would relentlessly Hump and when I say relentless I'd have to like separate him and then he'd lose his breath and get asthma and shit because really yes He was just so crazy. How long did he live? We ended up having to give him away to a friend of ours. Do you know if he's still alive? Yeah, yeah, he's still he's like hump like really big dogs too. It didn't matter who's it didn't matter what dog was there That's hilarious. Watch a little dog. I try and climb up some big male female big small whatever man. He was just See my boys my boys want to hump when that when women come in they can You can smell the estrogen and they're all over girls. Yeah, they won't hump a guy's leg or anything like that But if there's a girl that's getting down to their level low, they'll be trying to jump on really I don't know. He tried to do me the other day That's a backfire joke Yeah, we're gonna go we're heading back to that uh discovery house for your new year's on. Yeah, we're we're heading up there with um That was a nice house. No, it was cool. I I liked it I mean, I like houses like that. They're big and open, you know So I especially when we have a big family like hers like there'll be 20 something people there at one point Now do you guys get smashed? Her family drinks. Yeah for sure. You guys all you guys gonna get smashed too I don't are you saying like in general for new years? Yeah. No, I normally don't I normally don't this would be If there was a time that I would just watching the kids I would this would probably be a time that I would Yeah, I don't I don't really enjoy getting smashed anymore too much just a little bit, you know Yeah, no, I Ever since we uh started drinking the moss cameos before that dude I don't ever drink alcohol, but those actually sit well in my stomach Yeah, I can have three four them fuckers that Justin makes and I feel good Justin you're getting good at that By the way, they are really honing on that. I think you know, it's funny I want to make like uh, we talked about a recipe guide or a book or whatever that Let's make a drink But I want I was thinking like I don't want it to be just purely healthy like I wish it was like a mind public So like things like that fringe like yeah, like the moss cameos and I had these oh man. I had these apple pie Katrina made these apple pie treats that were so good And there there's nothing really healthy about them They're they're less bad than somebody who was there flowerless and they like they didn't take a ton of sugar And there's an apple in the middle and cinnamon. So it's like They weren't like over the top bad and they actually upset my stomach. I tried a few of them So I'd like to do some things like that in our our recipe We're just making alcoholic beverage with like organified green juice or something like that. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, we already got those thrive market cups for We use all of our sponsors together. We're going to unite all the sponsors make sure it all works out Yeah, we already use I use a lot of organified stuff Katrina and I go through that pretty quick man. I we we use the green juice a lot Have you brought you haven't brought any of them here yet the treats that you guys have you guys make so many different No, I did. I brought those ones that one. Oh, yeah, that's right. They were good Yeah, I brought I brought those down here. Those were those are the cookies, right? So we were making a lot of cookies heading into the holidays and that's what so Katrina Pretty much what we gave she made these these cute little like You know tinfoil bowl looking things that had like a ho ho Santa Claus lid and She baked cookies for all the because we had so many families. We saw this trip I mean we probably saw at least 12 or 15 like You know aunts and uncles and cousins and shit like that. So she made every family You know cookies and she packaged them in there and they're all the did they like them? They're all well. I haven't heard the feedback yet. They're really good Yeah, we gave them all out. We gave them all out. So I knew yours will be back together So we'll ask you like hey, what would you think of the healthy cookies dude speaking of which dude? I almost got found out which I should have let myself get found out was a good opportunity But you know you put out cookies and milk for Santa So we did that at my house, right and my daughter she's eight years old And she goes but why are why are we doing gluten-free? Santa's Why are we doing gluten-free cookies and coconut milk? And so I'm like, oh, I'm like, you know A coconut milk's got this kind of fat in it. It's real healthy or whatever. She's like, yeah But you said regular milk's healthy too She said does he I thought he drank like regular milk like we do and I'm like, what do I say now? So I'm like, oh, I wanted to give him something a little different for whatever And she could see her face that her like her wheels are turning. I mean, she's like, that's your milk motherfucker You know I'm saying come on dad. Yeah, we had we had he's gluten-free sugar cookies and coconut milk So funny Santa's on a diet, honey. Yeah I'm trying to make him healthier this year. He barely fit down the chimney last year. We don't have a chimney They haven't asked how he gets in yet. They haven't even asked how he gets it's always magic jumps You just say magic. That's a good point, right? I think that's what I would say too.

It's the motherfucking quaw The eagle has landed Quick quaw Our first question is from carter's consumptions Let's say one lacks proper levels of serotonin in their body and believes some of their fatigue depression and digestion Symptoms are caused by it. How would you go about upping those levels of serotonin naturally? Wouldn't you address probably sleep first? Well, I mean we'll go there, but I'll tell you this much your digestion is not caused by it Your digestion issues are probably part of the cause Of feeling like you have low serotonin. So there's a couple things you want to address here The serotonin model Is a little bit flawed So we think you know serotonin is the answer to a lot of these a lot of our problems makes us feel good We yeah, we create, you know Selective serotonin reuptake inhibiting drugs prozac is like a common one we know about That increases circulating serotonin in the brain We think that solves Depression in some cases it seems to in other cases. It doesn't seem to work well at all so That all being known Can you cause yourself to have um dysfunctional or you know Serotonin issues I should say issues with both the serotonin receptors themselves Because those can down regulate so you may have normal levels of serotonin But your serotonin receptors may be down regulated or have actual low serotonin levels Or you're just depressed. Maybe your serotonin levels are fine, but you still feel depressed All of those issues I think can be can be improved upon with better digestion Your gut actually produces the majority of serotonin in your body So, uh, your brain does produce some of it, but most of it's produced in the gut There's a very very strong connection So would you recommend this person like going to get a test first and seeing what what could be going on with their Gut or would you just be like would you give a generic probiotic go eat these things stay away from this Fix your fix your digestion when you fix your digestion you should notice Improvements on all of those things. They're connecting now Gut issues very strongly to depression anxiety Um other mental disorders. They're connecting. Um, you know gut issues to a lot of different issues But in particular to mental issues So I would say fix your gut first and the protocol for that is the one that I always recommend like eliminate processed foods eliminate common food intolerances Um start with that eat, you know good good vegetables Healthy fats don't avoid any macronutrient You know specifically so some people keto may help but other people that may hurt So I don't typically recommend going hardcore in any direction Uh, initially if you do find that carbohydrates aggravate your digestive issues And I would say avoid those although too low of you know carbohydrates You're used to be to to turn into serotonin as well So that may even be an issue So typically I'd say eat balanced and avoid foods that cause gut issues and start to heal your gut and you may start to notice improvements in depression and then exercise exercise one of the best things you could do for depression in fact when they do head-to-head studies with exercise versus anti-depression You gotta look at sleep too at one point sleep is huge if you got someone who's complaining of fatigue and serotonin too Like I know you've got digestion and that could be causing a lot of things But so could lack of sleep too. So if you're if you're getting lack of or poor sleep You know every night and pushing high stress levels I that some of those symptoms are all going to look really closest to if you got high stress a lot of times They'll feel like you have digestive issues. You could have fatigue and depression going on So stress could be a factor and sleep would definitely be an indicator of that So I'd look I mean, how do you feel when you when you don't get good sleep the next day? Right, you always feel terrible right fatigue you feel depressed and that tends to compound Over time as you have and it's not just the sleep quantity. It's also sleep quality. Yes, you know I was talking to a family member last night at our party and She was telling me how she goes to bed at 9 p.m And wakes up at 6 p.m And so because we were talking about she was having some of these issues And we were and I was telling her about sleep and I said well sleeps are important She was oh, I go to bed every night at 9 p.m. And so all the time you get up she goes 6 a.m She said okay. Well, that's that's plenty of sleep. I said well, how Well, do you sleep and then the story changed and she says well almost every single night all like hours of the night Yeah, yeah, she's like almost every night I wake up at least once and I'm wide awake and it takes me an hour or two Isn't that interesting a lot of people don't really associate that like they think that they're they're a total amount of hours So when you're sleeping I am getting eight hours of sleep. You also think you're normal interrupted the whole time You also think you're normal. I mean I thought as a kid I remember I slept on like a hand-me-down bed for most of my life And just was a taught I tossed and turned all night long never could sleep never could sleep And all of a sudden I get a nice bed when I when I got older and moved out And also and I had like this this sleep that I never even thought I could have I just thought I used to tell Be like oh, I'm not I'm a restless drooling sleep. Right, right I'm just a restless sleeper, you know So a lot of times people don't realize that they don't have good sleep because they've never had it And that's if they've gotten them by in their whole life that way And so they don't look at that But yet they don't realize that it could be a compounding thing that's been going on for 15 20 years their life They've been having this restless sleep and yeah, sure didn't bother you when you were 22 But now that you're 35 and you've had kids and you got work and marriage and all this other stress in your life Now that fucking sleep lack of sleep is starting to catch up to you so I think I think I always try and drive people now back that way is to kind of At least eliminate that first that's not potentially you because that could be causing a lot of these issues to you I like to tell people to think of sleep like they would Like a good workout like when you're when you're going to go when you know You're going to have a good workout typically start your workout out With some kind of a priming session a warm-up mobility work You have a bit of a routine that you do before your workout Whether that be drink a little caffeine or coffee or have a pre-workout or whatever Then you're finally ready. You've done your stretches. You've done your warm-up. You've done your priming You're you know your 15 minutes or 30 minutes or whatever Then you get into your workout and you have a great workout very rarely is it Where you're at total rest and then you jump right into a hard workout Well sleep is similar in the sense that you're you're you're on your computer. You're on your tv You're having you know real intense conversation with someone You can't go right into sleep and expect to have good quality It takes time to wind down and studies will show that Giving yourself about an hour before bed where you turn off all electronics You lower the the lower dim the lights in your house Exactly. Actually, that's true. You know listen to quiet music meditate drink chamomile tea But give yourself about an hour to be prepare yourself for sleep cool the temperature down in your room That's an that's another one. Don't sleep with clothes on these are all proven by the way in studies And then you are making me hot, sir And keep going but it actually helps it helps to sleep quality You know a good seven quality hours of sleep is going to benefit you more than 10 shitty hours of sleep And then exercise is the other one like regular consistent activity Is fantastic for producing serotonin and for up regulating the receptors for serotonin Sunlight is another one go outside and get some sunlight Um Producing that vitamin d and that vitamin d acts like a hormone in the body Low levels of vitamin d are very strongly connected to Do you think do you think we might get into some of this one at the fit expo? I feel like because we're going to be talking about the intuitive eating and stuff like that We might head in this direction a little bit. That's right. We're heading over there We should probably let people know what are the dates that we're going to be speaking? Is it the fourth and fifth? No, I think it's fifth and sixth dog Isn't it fifth and sixth? It's the saturday and sunday first weekend of january So me and adam will be talking at the expo I think we have two talks if i'm not mistaken. Yeah, there's one saturday and one sunday and it's the It's on the sixth and seventh. There you go. And we'll be talking about Intuitive eating and we'll be probably we'll be covering some of the stuff that we're talking about right That's why I said that so you just reminded me that that we have that coming up And that this is the type of talk topic that we're going to get into because I feel like not a lot of people Are talking about this right now. So I feel like that'll be kind of cool, right? If they weren't the fit expo now you can there are natural supplements that you can take that may help that are not prescription One of them is sam e that's s a m and then the letter e That's actually a prescription Anti-depressant for mild depression in europe here in the u.s. You could buy it Over the counter if you're high if you have if you're bipolar probably not a good idea because it can trigger Manic episodes, but for mild depression sammy is effective Oshawa ganda is another one that's been shown to alleviate depression One of the ways it's believed to work as it Increases the receptor density to serotonin. So it doesn't increase serotonin, but it makes the serotonin that you have Be more effective in your brain And then I think raishi if i'm not mistaken As a nether as a mushroom that you could take for depression But none of those will do much for you if your diet is poor You're not exercising. You're not getting sunlight. You're not getting good sleep. Those are the most important things you do with the big rocks Next question is from art of april. My chiropractor says most of my hip pain is due to a weak core What is a good at home core routine? I can do daily to help with this What are the best moves? You know, I tell you what? When you think of the of the core and you want to think of exercises to work on the core Think of the muscles and their primary functions. So you have Abdominals that shorten the distance between your pelvis and your rib cage. So that would be like a crunching type motion You can either bring your rib cage closer to your pelvis like a sit-up Or you could bring your pelvis closer to your rib cage, which would be like a reverse crunch Then you have internal external obliques that Stabilize the core, but they also rotate the body. So you may want to involve some kind of rotation movement And then the tva, right the muscles that suck in and draw in the midsection So you probably want to create your body's natural weight belt. That's it support system So I think if you address those kind of three main things you're probably you're probably all good I mean it for a great one would be the six pack or the nobs six pack abs or to go through our youtube Series where we've done core and ab stuffs and go through those types of videos deactivators and the vacuum pose and all that What about some tension moves? I think it's important though, too That I think she knows too that that and I know your chiropractor is telling you this But it's not just your core like if you if you've got if she's got dysfunction and poor recruitment patterns And she just gets a strong ass core. It's not necessarily gonna fix her hip issues So she's got to address that also so but I I think having a weak core Can uh exaggerate that right or make that worse And I think having a strong core is necessary to help support that good system while you You address what's going on with you But to say it's just from a weak core That's a little vague because if you have hip issues, that's not right. It's that's definitely a communication issue So like one way to communicate, you know And you need to get reconnected to a certain part of your body or certain movement or function Isisometrics and is to be able to kind of create more tension and Get that recruitment Established again that communication between the brain and firing with the neurons to the muscles So if you want to just go ahead and focus on like certain areas of like hip function or You know like or like going through the entire core and building up that process of like each one of those crunching moves or You know twisting moves And just really holding and solidifying it and reinforcing it It's a great way to just kind of rebuild that that that firing kind of sequence to happen You know a good old fashion plank is a great a great movement to build Better tension and control of your and the way that you you know have shown mess with the different pelvic positions Right, so when you get into if you have the funds prime pro and no BS six pack abs Like that's literally like the answer for you for this question right now Like prime pro go literally to your go to the hips part and address all the issues potentially with your hips Use the no BS six pack abs to do core training and ab training that's going to help solidify all that And and you're good and if you want to couple that with A weight training program that you're already currently doing on other maps and i'd say that but those two right there is like That's why we created those programs for people just like this. Mm-hmm Next question is from dun drummer Are behind the neck presses good or bad? Man those were all the rage back in the day They were when went when I was then it went the other extreme right It went one extreme the other extreme when I was a kid Uh growing up reading the bodybuilding magazines like all the top bodybuilders did Be who did it like frig no and everybody did it was like a staple pressing movement the the barbarian brothers I don't know if you guys ever knew with those guys where there was these two characters These super like crazy strong dudes that would go They work out a lot of venice, you know golds and make a lot of noise and do crazy shit Those guys would behind the neck press over 300 pounds It was like it was something that a lot of bodybuilders did and it got really popular and then Behind the neck exercises seemed to have falling they fell out of favor like they've just lost mobility You know the amount of this race to get like super big with machines and like having all these fixed positions all the time And like hypertrophy being the focus like I wonder if like it just lost they lost favor in doing stuff like that because You know the mobility wasn't there anymore most most bodybuilders are even the like at a professional level or genetic flexible freaks too I haven't met one that is like Actually stiff as boy everyone teases and acts like they're so stiff and rigid They look like that when they're walking in the waddle, but most of guys at that level have this just They're genetic freaks. They have this ability to not only put on muscle like crazy But then it doesn't limit their range of motion that but I mean remember besides getting in the way You mean they're just not tight right right trades a trip It is a trip because it's true what because it used to trip me out That it when I started pushing up to 32 40 and I could be leaning in great shape, but fucking jacked Like I'm just not functional. I become extremely tight. I cannot my have lost my range of motion Like it's crazy and and you think that if oh that could have been the way you're training now It's like these guys have They have this ability to still do the splits and do shit like that That's not like because he's working on going doing the splits all the time. It's because tom platz is a good example of that He was a bodybuilder in the 70s and 80s and that guy was Very very flexible. He's also one of the strongest squatters in bodybuilding history. I think he did If i'm not mistaken, I think he squatted 315 something like 50 something times and 500 pounds Yeah, just an insane amount of and crazy flexibility But you know, uh, it's neither it's neither good or a bad exercise if you can do it Here's a here's a A little trick. Well, talk about why we we just we just recently didn't put it in one of our programs And we wanted to but we all agreed that we didn't most people don't have the mobility do it right It's right. That's all because we we we agree that it could be an incredible movement and it could be something that I mean I could work towards it right and there's a process that you go through to get there But yeah for us to just throw that in there as a new move, you know is is probably not the best No, here's a deal if you can do an exercise or a movement with good control Good mobility and good stability Then that exercise is good pain free right then that exercise is good If you can't do an exercise with any of those three things Then that exercise is bad. It doesn't matter what it is that it could be a it could be a push-up If you don't have the mobility and stability to do a push-up then a push-up now is a bad exercise for you Uh behind the neck press if you can do it, right? It's a great exercise. I personally Really enjoyed doing behind the neck presses. I do them Uh at least two or three days a month out of the month Um, I enjoy doing them because it is a different Recruitment pattern than a standard military press. So I feel it differently. Well, I think I don't like to lose that I think it promotes good posture because it's countering the one of the most common things that we see in people So I like it for that reason, you know, but for me, I remember when I started doing them I didn't do them until I did them early on in my weightlifting career for the first couple years Then I avoided them for many many years and then I went back like just recently after I got done competing To get to the point where I could put but I had to start with the bar I mean, I had to go all the way down to a 45 pound bar, which is really light for me to shoulder press And just keep getting the getting my shoulders to retract and stay in a retracted position Why I moved this bar behind my head and up was really challenging. It's a totally different skill Yeah, yeah to manage but I always found too that, you know, it translated well to back loaded squats too So I felt like really strong, uh, you know in my posture and everything my upper back like from doing Those types of presses. There's there's uh, you know, some some people will say that the behind the neck press doesn't Because when you do a military press a heavy one, you actually believe or not you actually work a little bit of uh, some of the fibers of the the highest part of your upper chest And it's a really heavy in the anterior portion of your deltoid Some some would say that the behind the neck press involves more of the lateral head of the deltoids um, I personally the way I feel it is I feel good mid-back recruitment from a behind the neck press because when you come down to the bottom You have to have really good Thoracic engagement, uh, and you need to be able to engage the upper back Otherwise, if you if you round your shoulders at all you'll hit your neck With the behind the neck press not gonna work out and I go really light with it And because I go so light and I have to squeeze my arms back I get a really good pump with the behind the neck press. So I really really enjoy them But most people just can't do them right Yeah, most people don't have the shoulder mobility and that's because of their I mean they're older suffering from upper cross syndrome or whatever and they've got this But dude, you look at old videos of the bodybuilders of the 70s and hardly ever would they do A shoulder workout without doing and they go all the way down like these guys would go all the way touch their traps I tell you what and because people who say this is a terrible exercises are full of shit If you can you can develop this mobility if you work on it just takes no I see I think that's that's definitely a wrong way to say it too because it's not because I like it fuck. Who cares who did it 10 20 years ago? I like it because it does it forces you into good posture You can't do a behind the neck behind the neck press Without getting your shoulders in a proper position. Like you can't cheat that. Well, dude, like you can't Olympic lifters who Arguably, I would say among all resistance training type athletes or athletes that that compete with weights Arguably, I would say Olympic lifters have the best shoulder mobility Just from the the snatches and cleans all stuff they have to do But they do an exercise where I don't know what you call it But they'll start with the bar on their traps and then they'll Pop it up like they just finish the snatch bring it back down on the trap behind the next push press But they go all the way down to their traps each time and it's part of their routine Famous strongman mario Pusanowski. You can find a youtube video of him doing this with 315 or he's got it up on his traps and he it's like he does a it's almost like he's completing a push press Yeah, but behind the neck. Yeah behind the neck push press. Oh, it's nasty. Yeah, those are nasty Shan trimble More talk on conspiracy theories Are there any conspiracy? Have we even talked about this? Yeah I don't you guys have any you guys have any conspiracy theories that you think May actually be true. Well, I think I think netflix is behind all these He's gonna stick with that one. I do like that one. I do I think that well, I should let me retract that because I don't need netflix fucking sue me or whatever like that I have no idea who it is I but I definitely think there's some conspiracy behind All the coming forward of all the famous people in hollywood that you know touch children or sexual harass somebody Or did someone it just seems like every day we have somebody who's going down And it just seems odd that it's all happening together even stuff that's surfacing from 20 years ago and stuff like that's coming out right now So that to me tells me that there's more it's more than just a coincidence that all these this is happening at one time And so then the next thing leads me to okay. Who would benefit the most? From hollywood technically going down or who would benefit the most from hollywood stars going down And the only companies I can see that really would benefit like that right now a lot Is like netflix is a company that like that's doing You know creating their own content now and soon having their own actors and shit Speaking of which I watched bright. Did you watch that movie on on Netflix? I did. Did you watch it? What did you think of it? I was not impressed. I loved it the end disappointed the fuck out of me Well, brennan shop. I saw brennan shop's post and I knew it was coming I was really excited to watch it and then I saw his post saying like, oh Fuck the critics. They're wrong. This movie is dope as fuck. And so I was like, oh cool. Okay. So I told katrina I'm like I like brennan shop. I think we you know, we'd have similar taste in movies and so I decided to watch it and I was I thought for sure that okay This is netflix like first attempt at a blockbuster Bringing on actually dropping a full full length movie, right? So I really expected them to come out of the bank. They got will smith. So they got a big name actor So I thought okay. There's your first app plot seems interesting, you know Uh, it was a major letdown for me. I thought I don't like the way it ended Yeah, I didn't like there was nothing about it that I really liked it had its moments of humor that I thought were great Which was very bad boys Uh, it meant in black-esque, you know, so it kind of had that taste to it Um, but I it just didn't appeal to me the the plot wasn't good enough. It wasn't it didn't end well Uh, the acting and it wasn't superb. Like I was let down. I was let down I was disappointed in you netflix. Oh, man, that's too bad. I haven't seen yet. I was like till you don't watch you have to watch it Yeah, I'll have to see it now and give you yeah, it's it's worthwhile But I mean I liked hellboy better, you know, I thought yeah, I thought yeah, I liked hellboy Right. I thought hellboy was cool. So I thought I liked it even better than that and so I had higher Mind you I had a lot I had higher expectations for netflix and their first movie to draw their first like blockbuster to drop because Yeah, you get a name like will smith like he's you know, it's your first one, right? This is your first splash into hey, we're gonna start because advertising at movie theaters and shit like that to see I think they could have ended it way better. Hmm. They had a good opportunity at the end and it was kind of like what? Yeah, it was weak. I don't like the way it ended. It was totally no So I wasn't I wasn't happy. I'm trying to think of conspiracy theories that I actually believe in I know sal has a bunch of them I think uh, I think there's little bits of truth in a lot of them though. You know, that's the shitty part It's like Yeah, because if you really think about like that could happen, you know Like there's some shitty people out there that could like orchestrate stuff and do things, you know Well, there's conspiracy theories that I believed that Then came out to be true. Like one of them was the uh, like drug prohibition and one of the conspiracy theories was that the That the the government went hard after drugs because we had the counterculture movement Who was protesting the vietnam war? They were causing a lot of problems. There was a lot of upheaval We were in the middle of a cold war. They they they presented a threat To us to destabilize us, which we don't want to do with the cold war going on So the government decided well, how do we go after these peaceful protesters Without like infringing on their liberties because they're all they're protesting like that's that's that's protected by the constitution So they made the drugs of the counterculture The you know the enemy and so lsd silo side in marihuana all became schedule one That way they could throw these people in jail and then it comes out that that was true Yeah, you know, I mean that's exactly what happened You know the other one that I that I subscribed to is that you know for a long time now We've only had two political parties in power I think for it always looks like they fight and they hate each other and this that and the other I think they fucking work together I think they love each other and I think that what they're trying to do is create the illusion of choice They make you they make you think your two choices are coke and Pepsi And those are the only choices you have and so you forget about seven up You forget about sprite you forget about founta you forget about all that other stuff You think I only have two choices and I've seen this happen now Several times where you'll have a candidate from another party come over and try to run and they'll both work together to To eliminate them to eliminate them to keep them from even talking They don't like the third party person. There's no doubt in my mind. It's like that. I mean you you watch house of cards Yeah, I've only seen a few episodes. Wow Why it doesn't make sense to me why you wouldn't love me when I got into that one You enjoy that show, but this is what it gets into all the fucking shit in the behind the scenes I not to say that house of cards is what it's very accurate But yeah, I believe it's accurate too, and I think it's right up the alley what you're talking about that I hundred percent. I mean, let's put it this way if you make it all the way to the White House, dude Like you you've been on your game for fucking a long time not for like five minutes Like you weren't just like a popular guy or you did some really good shit and then someone said hey Let's put this guy in the White House master manipulator right And and how many of these candidates were Tied to somebody later on who was an opposite of what they support. I mean you always see that it doesn't matter It's all part of they're they're playing together and we're the ones that are getting beat all the time Yeah, I also think there's a there's I agree with that I also think there's real conspiracies against Besides what I just said about the counterculture that there are there are big conspiracies against the the you know liberalization of the laws on cannabis and Uh, some of the science that's coming out showing its effectiveness against lots of different diseases I think that pharmaceutical companies don't like that because you're dealing with a natural plant that you can't patent So they're trying to figure out ways to synthesize and make it patent You know something you can patent and until that happens. They're going to keep that shit illegal. You know, I mean It's uh, and I think and that one's kind of I mean, I don't have evidence to prove that But I don't know very many people have disagreed with me. Well, I definitely believe in the flat earth. So Let's go in that direction. Yeah, no, I I do think though like with the whole moon landing like so Another case scenario like We didn't even talk about Elon Musk taking off. Yeah, taking off. Oh, yeah, remember that Yeah, the rocket thing that happened just was but talk about what happened. I wouldn't pay attention to that You didn't see Elon Musk taking off and his rocket over. No, what? He went. He flew in his own rocket. Was he in that? I don't know if he was personally in it. He's definitely space x. Yeah, he launched it, but yeah I can't believe you I thought for sure that was trippy. I know it's launched and made a bunch of You know a bunch of people film the yeah, yeah, I don't know anything But what's the deal about it? No, I haven't read anything on I thought for sure I expect like my nerdy friend to be just testing it. That's as far as I got I expected you to have read this already. I came to work today going like, you know, I can't wait to ask Sal about the Fucking spaceship. It's up and they just got launched. You know, it's what's nobody like landing on the moon, right? So like it had to have happened. I mean, yeah, look at how shitty our technology was back then and all that But like like there's both so you have the studio in In, you know, Hollywood that's taking pictures and like setting it up and everything making sure that, you know Worst case scenario, I'm sure like they're gonna take pictures and fake it But at the same time, you know, they're they're sending people to the moon You gotta keep you gotta keep in mind that we have these organizations that exist in our country that are that exists solely to protect The interests of this country and to protect the you know our country, right and depending on the size of the threat They will go to great lengths to do that. So during the Cold War That was a time when when I mean there were nukes pointed at, you know, soviet union us had nukes pointed at each other You know threatening the destruction of the entire world for sure. They did a lot of crazy shit To you know, guarantee or to try their asses. Of course. They did a bunch of crazy shit You know, I mean exactly they they dude we actually spent money on psychics To try to tell us the many steric goats. That's true. We actually did we did experiments with psychedelics Where we see if we could brainwash people we did we did all teleporting and there was there was a There was something called operation north woods, which was signed by the joint chiefs of staff Which said that we were going to stage our own terrorist attack in miami and blame it on the cuban so that the u.s public would support Attacking cuba because of course we don't want missiles to be in cuba because it'd be close to the u.s A lot of stuff so yeah, of course of course So that's why when I say conspiracy theories sometimes i'm like, I don't know man Yeah, I don't know because yeah, there's definitely it's always like some kind of truth in there Did you guys read the recent article in new york times about how? high-ranking officials Are saying that they definitely believe aliens have visited earth and there was some documents that showed as recent as 2004 You have these military You know like Pilots who encountered Flying objects that were very close to their airplanes that flew at speeds and maneuvered in ways that just Not possible with current technology and apparently they're saying that there's some hangar somewhere with Like some of these metals and stuff that we found that we believe to be from ufo's They're trying to study them and stuff. What do you guys think about that? I have one for you. I don't know man Like have you heard was his name tom de long or whatever from blink 182 talk about this kind of shit It's like he goes he goes balls deep with this I think for sure if they found evidence that there were ufo's they wouldn't tell us Yeah, everybody would freak out. Well, yeah, yeah, that's the thing I think most of it most of it on You know on what we do see is definite like military testing I mean for like they love that these like conspiracy theories exist That's true aliens and you know covers. They're like, oh my god, but they're really Oh, it's probably ufo. Yeah all this money They're trying to put in for some awesome like space-aged weapon thing fucking death star thing. They're building, you know That's more likely. Yeah, but yeah, I mean, who knows dude. I don't fucking know You know like it's kind of fun to think there'd be aliens that exist But I don't you know who the hell knows if they you know, it's highly likely that if they did that wouldn't they wouldn't be organic It'd be a robot. They'd be that's organic. Yeah, like at some point they reached it Just how would they travel for that long and not deteriorate or just they just they just evolved and now transfer their consciousness to Computers. Who knows maybe the aliens that visit us are us in the future. We are aliens. Boom. Not even hi adam I'm totally sober right now. I think in our time we will see and I think sooner than later I think we'll see the collapse of the dollar I think that'll happen in our time. You've been hanging around my people too much adam I do. No, I just say I just say new world order I think that we'll see that and I think there's a lot of signs pointing that direction And we talked a little bit about that with jordan on his episode with what we see some of these big companies doing with Cryptocurrency with the dollar where it's going with a printing. What if the cryptocurrency was It would be so easy for an agency Like the cAA to create Bitcoin or whatever right to track To be able to track these Underground purchases and shit Online exclusively. Yeah, but if you and they don't want to blow their cover, you know, I'm saying so they're just observing Well, do you do you know that the the way they were created were like the by cyber punks? So these were hackers. That's the story. Yeah, that's the you're right. That's the story. Nobody knows Yeah, but I I tend to subscribe to that story more than I subscribe to what you're saying now That the government's under is beneath it all and is doing it now. They've done a lot of shit one company I think these are I think there's a group of free market guys that really wanted to protect their Their ability to purchase online do that is originally how it started and then it evolved into something much bigger And even crypto or no crypto, right? It still doesn't matter It still points in the direction that that we're going that way So maybe bitcoin fails and it is the what you think which I disagree But let say it all is and it all takes a shit the tech the blockchain technology is out there And like and enough people that understand it understand where it's going It makes total sense that this will be the evolution of our money Money always does seem to evolve and it's going to and it's only a matter of time and the direction that We're taking it right now by printing more of it. It's only destroying it. It took a hit, right? Didn't bitcoin take a massive hit recently? Are they back up or what? It's well, it's not back up to it It's not at its peak, but it's you know, it's done that several times Yeah, yeah, it's done that several times where you know, that's the thing right now is the thing that Everyone that I talked to says that cautions about it is that you know, what we're seeing is all these like IPOs hit at one time and everyone's trying to figure out whose google or amazon and you just can't Figure that out right now. And so we're getting manipulated too by some of these companies that are coming out with these cool videos There's tons of shit floating around on youtube now and like people are saying like oh, this is the next one That's going to do this and do that and so everyone's jumping on the bandwagon And there's obviously going to be some people out there that are going to You know, they're going to use that to their advantage that we can get a bunch of quick money right now By making people believe that we're going to do this. So there's going to be charlatans out there also right now So where crypto goes? I don't know But I definitely believe in our lifetime that we'll see the either the elimination or the destruction of the of the dollar I don't think that you think it's gonna happen that soon. I do and I think it's sooner I do think it's sooner than later. That'll suck. You know, that'll that'll cause massive massive issues It could it could it could for sure you can you can you take away at a country's money And you've got uh, you've got chaos big time Yeah, well if you say it like that, yeah, it can but I think if it's if it we evolve that way over time Which I think we're doing that right now ain't nobody gonna let that shit evolve nicely There's no way you know, you know much money there is and making our money Yeah, no, I know that no, no, they're not gonna they're not gonna be like federal reserve is the biggest gangsters in In the country arguably the world. That's why we're still running on oil I mean, it's the best who gets who gets to loan money and then also Decide their interest rate. How fucking gangster is that? I'm gonna loan you fucking money And then I'm gonna decide how much you got to pay me back. It's my decision And then there's penalties if you don't but nothing for every dollar is every dollar is that gangster is shit Every dollar is debt. Yeah, how did that happen? Right? Do you guys know the story of the creation of the federal reserve? Yeah, it's so it started this started it's a true story, by the way You got a dollar started originally as paper receipts. It was paper receipts for for gold Yeah, and it evolved to this point where no the federal reserve act was literally written on an island Jekyll island by some of the most influential like guys in in america at the time like What's his name? JP Morgan and like anyway these big they went over there and they had They wouldn't even give the real names when they were on the trains because it had to be so secret They went there created this act brought it back to congress Waited for a period of time. I can't I can't remember when when a lot of congress would be out I think it was a holiday and they had their guys in there and voted in it's pretty it's pretty crazy story Bro, the fucks look it up. This is i'm not making this shit up. This is all true So gang this is all true and presidents have opposed Uh, federal was having a like a federal reserve many many times and the ones that oppose it tend to get assassinated Yeah, interesting. That's kind of crazy Yeah, I well, I don't know it'll be interesting to see how it all unfolds I think it's all for the good though. I really believe that we're heading in the right direction That just sounds scary to say that to say like oh the claps of the dollar It sounds like oh shit, we're gonna die with but I think it'll be a slow transition And I think what you're seeing with companies or seeing with like bitcoin Is that regardless if it's a worldwide adopted thing that ends up taking over the dollar I do believe it'll be something that is accepted by certain companies And we're already seeing that happening and talking in the news right now some companies like listen We'll take it and if you're willing to put A thousand dollars of your dollars in there to get x amount of these digital coins that protect you from ever being found out That you're purchasing or doing something a lot of people see value in that a lot of people I agree with you I just do not think it will be slow. I don't think it'll be peaceful I think you have countries like china that manipulate their currency like crazy You have us and our federal reserve bank No way in hell are they going to not Try to cause like it's it's going to be a big if the dollar does collapse It will literally be a collapse and it'll be a massive problem. Actually. I don't think any I don't think there's ever been a gradual slow evolution of currency. I think it's always been no It's been a boom. No, it's been a massive fail, right? It's always been this they end up, you know Devaluing the money by I forget there's like the zimbabwe dollar. There's a term for it where they like what we do We print money, right? That's when we're doing super. Yes. It's like super inflation, right? It's like super like times normal inflation because we start printing and it's always it's from that right? We push really hard Then it just drives down the drives down the deltas. That's a we're doing that You know I'm saying we're doing that as we exist and when you talk about the things that are happening with Like when we talked with chris crestor the other day and like guys like him or Like dude, we're gonna go bankrupt from the health care. Well, if we're gonna go bankrupt from the health care We're gonna go bankrupt over here. We're driving the dollar down. It's gonna be a perfect storm of all this Yeah, it's all it's all happening And I feel like somebody's gonna have to get ahold of it and it might be start all over, you know start all over We've already proven that this fucking system doesn't work. Let's be honest It's all based on which I used to love to ask people this like if you're a man of faith Like are you a man of faith and you have somebody who's like totally not religious about that? No, no, I'm not this and that I'm like, well sure you are you use dollars, don't you? It's it's fucking yeah, but I believe you have that You got a lot more value sure. Yeah, you got a lot more faith than you think you do You're handing over paper to give so get something from someone in return like that. It's not backed by shit, dude There ain't nothing that supports that. Oh crazy. It's a piece of fucking paper around. I like the federal reserve. So I'm not trying to get Shit happen.
