you know what I mean oh that's horrible the best part of this is the narcissism right we got you out of the house too dude you gotta you know that's something big yeah no it's time it was time I was self-quarantine for a little longer than two weeks so I'm good when are we gonna find out you had COVID I gotta do an antibody test if they ever have them they're working on that aren't they they are and you help okay I will be so mad if I didn't have COVID you know what I mean if I was sick for no reason I'm convinced you are you don't get sick that often and you don't get sick that bad I mean you were bad you were trashed what if it was all psychological what if I just had a cold because I freak out this too would not surprise me oh my god I'm dying totally it's COVID it's getting me hard I agree with Justin on this one no if I didn't have it I will be so so so angry now if I do have the antibodies I'm gonna feel invincible super hero people are gonna want your blood lick things and I'll get the flu oh shit I forgot you know what I totally forgot about Justin needs to be slapped sometimes my wife says the same thing not only are you a bad storyteller you're bad when you have incredible stories to tell and you forget okay so on the way home I don't know anything yet so I don't know anything about this story he just forgets shit I got a phone call we're driving on we're in Sacramento area 50 or 80 we're on 80 and there's an option where you can go towards San Francisco or we can go towards the valley which is 5 and we normally always go towards San Francisco it's like 5 minutes difference there's an actual fork where you can make decisions and all of a sudden we see traffic coming to a halt and mind you this is doing there's no cars so how is there traffic oh shit there's probably an accident we get stopped right before the why's and she gets a phone call from Courtney and Courtney is like oh my god there's a huge accident Justin saved lives all this crazy shit oh I didn't save no lives I was there I was part of it he's so humble so she said something like a car rolled in front right in front of you yeah so we were driving all of a sudden I saw people kind of move into the laughter to the right like trying to avoid what was happening in front and then I caught the tail end of this car that was up in the air flipping in the air like it was out of like a Hollywood movie dude it was like so basically what happened this is kind of crazy because like there was characters involved so there was this guy that was he was driving a big rig and he was the most animated and the most pissed about the whole thing because he saw everything he saw what happened what transpired there was like a Kia car that was apparently stopping in the freeway and everybody was going 80 at least this is like you know a stretch of straight highway that everybody just jams you know and hardly any cars on the road I would imagine everyone's flying and so I guess he had stopped five times and like this big rig had seen this car doing that and was like making his way around him and I guess so this lady that was in a Tahoe with a little girl which was you know this was where it got all real for us was in the back seat like a three year old daughter and I guess she had apparently and this is I don't know if I can confirm this or not but like somebody else that had saw everything go down that went past and said that she was probably looking down on her phone drove and didn't see and then just slammed into the back and he was almost at a dead stop so from 80 miles an hour to a dead stop this car was like compacted in half like half of the car was gone and then this Tahoe basically hit at impact and then just jolted and flipped it up in the air and tumbled and tumbled and tumbled and then finally came to a stop and please tell me the little girl's alright everybody actually survived as far as I know I don't know about the guy that was in the Kia and plus we think he might have been on drugs something or had like a suicidal issue like he was trying to do this to end himself something like something crazy because who does that right and so we stopped there's just like there's just debris and shit like all over the freeway like this this car like rolled so many times like everything out of the car just like blew out of the car and we so we stopped and Courtney kind of went over to assess and I was like looking at the guy to see if he was okay he was like done like he was just just passed out like in the front seat and was just like not even moving and so the guy beat me to him and got in there and like had to end up like cutting cutting him out from his seatbelt and right as he did that he kind of woke up okay good and but he was on the other side of the freeway with the car so he's all basically all the way to the right and then the guy kind of was trying to revive him he wakes up he slams his foot on the gas and like drives directly across all four lanes because he was probably just out of it dude and his car started like catch on fire and so then he slams on the other side the car catches on fire I'm like oh my god like I'm on the other side like now I'm with Courtney we're looking to see like how the mom and the little daughter are doing and she's thankfully she had like blood all over her arm but she was fine she just had like really bad cuts from the accident and the little girl didn't really have any like signs of you know any kind of cuts or anything just like a little bruise and stuff on her face so she was okay she was awake super scared and so we were trying to like hold the girl to calm her down for the mom and and so basically on the other side the guy has to pull him out get some on the ground the guy's laying there the car just burst into flames and then like after that you know we heard a couple like pops but it's like the tires I guess are the ones that like pop up from from when it gets too hot from the fire and so they just let the car just burn and then we were just like waiting for all the paramedics and everybody else to get there holy trying to like you know like help mend the mom's arm and get her connected to her husband so how long have you been sitting on the story Justin dude I texted you guys I was like remind me about this like that's all I got how do I have to remind you that's what blew my mind I look up at the notes for today's conversation and I go wait a second doesn't Justin have like a fucking death-defying story to fucking tell right now it was so crazy like so I told it to my parents because like and so meanwhile like my kids are in the truck and like I'm like staying here because I didn't want to get on my truck I was like I was holding Courtney back she was like a little pit bull like ready to jump out and ongoing traffic to like save these people and I'm just like whoa whoa whoa let's like assess you know the environment yeah exactly she was just like I'm a nurse I'm fucking superhero I love I love that about you but let's calm down and so then you know I finally pull over whatever and so I'm like locking the trucks of the kids you know in there but I felt like uncomfortable leaving there they're in there with the iPad they're filming so they actually filmed when the car caught on fire and they got like yeah they got some footage of it and everything oh wow really I'll have to show you guys so your your wife just leaps to action dude are you like at that point are you like turned on yeah like damn look at my I was a little bit I'll be honest she's she's she's like very she's very much of a humanitarian like very like passionate about helping people and I was like oh my god I didn't know was at that level but she's she's very like aggressively helpful most people like damn it yeah traffic yeah and like we're just like take off driving slow yeah well I mean thank goodness everybody I'm glad that the story involved everybody being okay yeah because that wouldn't I would have hated that I know I wouldn't have told the story if any if it would have gone down dude car car technology is remarkable these days yeah that to happen and for people to survive I can't believe that little girl was was okay it sounds like though that if the guy in the Kia had somebody in the backseat they would have been dead they've been told yet completely like he that sounds like he lucked out just because he was by himself in the front seat right if you had somebody that it sounds like it smack you can accordion as I say it Tahoe hits a Kia full on 80 miles an hour I mean that thing just like a can bro you know what you know what it would have been if it was like cars from like the 70s oh it would have been terrible yeah you know I mean the technology these days like demolition derby where everybody's oh well hey I mean glad everybody's okay thank you for telling this story finally the craziest thing that's happening you all but you know I mean it's happened I can hear Katrina on the phone with Courtney and she's like oh my god that she's like what what are you serious and we got so we got over I was crazy yeah I mean we saved probably an hour and a half two hours because it was a parking lot we literally I'm not kidding oh so you very you got lucky to go we had less than 50 yards like we're in dead stop traffic and there's oh we got you just and there's 50 yards up if I got if it was literally a less than 30 seconds or a minute later that that call doesn't come through I don't merge over and get off and then take off in the other direction and then I would have been sat there for hours it is really weird to see stuff like that happen right before your eyes I've seen I've seen something like that one time where I was driving down to LA with my buddy and when you start we took 101 we're going 101 south we want to take the scenic route or whatever and at one point the the side of 101 that's that's going the opposite direction is higher than the side that I'm on so there's like an embankment that kind of slopes down and we're just chilling it was normal we're driving all of a sudden I see like what is that there's a car rolling down the hill just flipping down the hill right in front and when you see something like that for a split second you're like that's not real I saw so this happening one time where I was driving behind the Mercedes SUV and this lady does a 360 and then flip and I'm the car right behind it and it happens in front of me and it was the weirdest thing ever because everything slowed down like when she was spinning around I could see her like we made eye contact it was the fucking weirdest thing ever no seriously I mean I swerved this my reaction I swerved got away and moved but when it was happening it felt like everything froze it was the weirdest shit ever for something like that that for her to go 360 and then flip right in front of me me get out I mean it had to have been a split second but it felt like a minute when it all happened now you know that's that's a very common we've all heard of that right like that's happening to me before yeah it's because your brain literally turns up its ability to perceive everything around you like the processing power just like kicks in like hard and all of a sudden everything's like you know detail slow motion I can see everything whereas normally you know what the hell is going on wow that that memory is so vivid in my brain because of that too it's so I forget about what I did yesterday but I still have a very vivid memory of that that moment what are some of the most like you know where you come where you came this close to death moments do you guys have anything like I have one in particular that I can remember that remark that even though I wasn't the one who was probably I mean I was sure you were right behind right right so I had a moment where me and my friends we were young we were maybe 17 and we're in the car and there's four of us and we're all you know not paying attention we're at a stop light laughing joking light turns green in the front we didn't even notice that it turned green car behind us honks my buddies like oh okay goes to hit the gas right before it's the gas a fricking a fucking semi comes through the red light with on its brakes sliding through had we gone through when the light was green we would have been gone we've been a fricking disaster we would I made up a word right there I like that fruck fruck take a little kid you know I don't want to say bad word but I'll say something that sounds yeah that happened well so I hit black ice when we were coming back from band practice when I was in Chicago correct term for it yeah okay never mind so and same thing like we hit it on one side so it was like a five lane freeway and then I I was like oh my god I completely lost control of the car like and I'm pretty good with like hydroplaning all that kind of stuff and this was like I've never experienced like ice where you just don't have any there's no way to like turn out of it and so you just go with it right so I'm like it was going really slow which was even worse you know I'm just like just skating you know just skating across like five lanes and oh in my rear view mirror there's like two huge semis coming and I and then it like turned me so I ended up facing them so I'm now I'm looking at them like straight on like oh my god I'm gonna die and I just I punched the accelerator and punched myself into the shoulder you know the freeway and then got myself out of there with the guys and we were all just like we stayed there for probably an hour just like oh my god I think we're okay these stories are are for whatever reason stress we're leaving right now I don't know if you guys are feeling like life ain't so bad you guys want to have a virus you guys want to talk about so this is what I've been I figured this out right because I think we're all under a little bit more stress than normal right the unknown you're at home you're reading every you know you start reading articles about you know World Health Organization says this and you know they're extending the you know why everybody's to stay home and all the stuff and you start so I figured this out it's a bit of a hack so I was I started watching documentaries on like real life shit that happened in the past that was terrible just to make me kind of I don't know of course that's where you I'm not sure it's a good strategy dude it is it is I yeah because I'm watching and I'm like what am I tripping over I watched a documentary Peter Jackson produced it I've never seen this it's so good as epic films bro so good called they shall not grow old have you guys seen this no it's about World War one and in it they interview actual you know it in these I'm sure these people are dead now but he interviewed people who served in World War one from in England and while it's while they're they're talking about what it was like they have film real film from World War one and they colorized it and digitized it so it looks like the oh that's like what Doug was recommending was that show that you recommended greatest moments of World War two well so this was different than a normal documentary where they're explaining what's happening the strategy this is they're talking about the actual everyday life of these soldiers and when you're listening to these guys you're just like they're talking about how you know what it's like living in the trenches trench foot oh dude they were showing pictures of it and people getting beat chopped off and how he goes yeah he goes you know he goes life was a terrible problem he goes what you would do is mustard gas you know pending and these guys are talking about it like yeah it was a great time because we all stuck together and this and that you know and he's like you this is just how you survive and I'm watching it I'm like well I'm kind of stuck at home with you know Netflix we're a bunch of pussies you know I'm taking my tires beating home my biggest stress right now is that streaming is slowing down because so many people are streaming are you guys how's your guys diet soft I'm like dude I am finding myself distracting myself with not the greatest food right now well it's been worse since I've been home like since we've been home it's been a little more challenging than up at Tahoe Tahoe having the garage gym and going out there and hiking and playing in the snow like I felt like I've already it's been rougher since I've been home yeah it's been okay yeah I would say like I was actually not too bad separate we wanted to go out to to support some of the restaurants in the area because it's like there's one of them it's like our favorite and they're doing like take out yeah so we're like oh we got to we got to keep them in business you know that's like the whole initiative with us going there really but it was kind of funny because I'm not going to name their name because we know the bartender and he's like oh and here's some like premium margaritas to go to go cups I'm like is this legal thank you bro yeah so that was great I gave a there's a restaurant that we go to sometimes in San Jose Peruvian restaurant and you know we called in an order I went to go pick it up and I saw the owner and I'm like how's business you know and he's like oh it's terrible this and that so I gave him $100 bill I said keep the change or whatever because I felt like you know I want to kind of support them well speaking of that I was reading a statistic that J.P. Morgan had just put up they had found in 2016 that the median independent restaurant has enough cash to last 16 days and independent retailers 19 days so that's how that's how yeah people don't realize how devastating already this is this is for most catastrophic well they run some industries they yeah because they run on very lean margins yeah people don't they think that they're all you know rolling and dough but they it's such a competitive industry that your margins are always very very slim and you know 16 days of cash isn't bad for a lot of businesses but it's right catastrophic oh right now but I'm I mean just so I finally gave in I've just you know I'm eating more I'm just eating a lot because I'm at home and you know I think it's comforting so I'm like you know what I give up was bulk no I said no bro I'm beyond bulk right now I said to Jessica I said let's just we'll buy snacks but let's just have healthier snack you have better stuff yeah like I'm not I can't not eat right now because yeah that's the move yeah so you know what they think what a great time to be working with a new sponsor what is it Paleo Valley that meat sticks because you know it's a meat delicious yeah it's a it's a grass fed high protein meat bro those are the best beef jerky steaks that I've ever had by far yes by far they're crushing right now too of course oh yeah everybody is ordering like crazy on on their piece they're also you know the other one that they so they do other stuff too like we we talk big on their their beef sticks because it's obviously what we consume the most of but I was actually just talking to them last week and they're completely like sold out of like their vitamin C because I didn't an article just come out I saw Ben Greenfield talked about that you talked about that so I did yeah in New York they're finding an intravenous vitamin C yeah and they found it this was true in China and I believe France that when they were giving people high doses of vitamin C intravenously that that it was it was helping quite a bit I don't know if that translates though to oral vitamin C oh really I don't know I mean there's a big difference between you know intravenous and oral yeah but it still gets into your bloodstream right it does but I don't know if you could tolerate the doses may not be as potent well because the intravenous doses they were giving them was like thousands and thousands of milligrams you know spread out every two or three hours oh that's a lot yeah if you did like two three thousand I mean it's vitamin C so that the odds the side effects of taking too much aren't bad I think it's like an increased risk of kidney stones or something like that but if you take like thousands of milligrams of vitamin C you know a few times a day you're probably going to get diarrhea you're probably going to get gut issues which might not be great I would I would think if you if you couldn't do it you couldn't take it IV I would still think that taking it would still be better than not I would agree right I would agree even if it's not as much as that I would still think that's not a bad idea I mean I have I've been taking that I mean that's what I've been doing so I mean I I don't know if it's working as well but it's better than not I feel like yeah it's interesting right because vitamin C for so long has been you know they've been talking about how it's an immune booster but then for so long we've heard that that's oh no it's not right but now they're showing in these studies that speaking of which they approved the use of hydroxychloroquine is that how you say it the the malaria drug it's now approved in combination with because we were talking about how the studies were showing that it might help yeah another study came out that showed that it's that it helped oh that that in combination with the zithromycin is what they're what they're doing but you know that the did you guys know that fish tank cleaners contain like a version of that and some people have been taking that thinking it'll help them and they die I think that's where all the memes are coming from right the jokes of people drinking the the Clorox bleach and all that weird shit what is wrong with people dude but I have to like so I got a bunch of messages about that medication about the one from malaria because I brought up like it gives people nightmares and like I had so many people confirming that you know in my DMs and stuff I was like oh I knew it I knew I had heard that because even on one of them I don't know if it's true or not but they said that like may cause like you know demonic you know sightings and like you know visions of of you know terrible like night terror like type you know nightmares so some people have you know have indefinite nightmares after it like they've even reported you mean when they've gone off yeah that's when you go off cause Katrina gets it from uh hydro coding so if she takes yeah she takes like a Vicodin or a Percocet or something like that she'll get nightmares I've been having that's weird I've been having weird drugs suck I've been having these weird stress dreams where like I usually don't have these kind of dreams but for like two or three nights in a row I have a dream I had one dream that all of a sudden I was a general manager of a gym again and I was like all sad about it cause I'm like fuck man I gotta do this again I've already been here how did I get back here yeah and I walked in you know check this out so I walk in and I'm like whatever I'm gonna make the best of it and there was like one of my sales managers or whatever was you know giving someone a free pass so I sit down to introduce myself and I start trying to talk to them about getting personal training you know because that's what you do right and the sales and the person who worked for me would say to me out loud while I'm doing this like stop stop just give them the free pass no don't try and I was like I'm gonna yeah we don't do it like that now kick you in your face you know what do you mean what are you talking about and I woke up it's not protocol I woke up and I was like oh that was terrible that's probably how it is now the aggressive sales tactics what a terrible dream hey you guys remember um when I brought up on the show probably about I'd say two months ago the the app called parked with the parking spaces oh wait a minute where people can rent their own okay like in front of their driveway so another company okay called neighbor calm it's like that on steroids so all the same possibilities you can rent a parking space but this neighbor calm allows you to rent any space so let's say like like my quad I want to store it in somebody has a room in their garage they can rent a 8x8 space in their garage and they dictate the amount I agree on it and I do it oh wow versus like paying some huge storage unit or you know being subject to their rates these neighbors can now use each other to store each other stuff so you got a bunch of boxes and you've completely filled up your attic or whatever and you want to store it but then you don't want to pay 180 or like here in San Jose I think it's like 200 bucks plus finally a place for my meth lab no isn't this wow bro gotta make use of it even watch it do his tiger kick breaking bad over here no so how cool is that though brilliant it's so brilliant because what it's doing what people don't realize about stuff like that is it dramatically increases the efficiency of space of people working together and for the economy it's so great because if you think about it if you have unused space which most of us do right unused space in the garage or in the yard just watch that minimalist document yeah exactly they do that right they show heat maps on people's home and people spend 99% of time in like 30% of the house so you have all this wasted space that could be used to generate revenue and then there's all these people that need that space to store things what a brilliant and neighbor comm ensures up to two million dollars oh brilliant so I mean as long as you're not storing two million dollars worth of stuff at somebody's house like that because that would be my first fear right like some random jokes like yeah they're like yeah you can leave your quad here saying I leave my $10,000 quad there and it's gone right looking two months later some sure they move with it right yeah but it's insured up to two million dollars with that so it kind of gets rid of that fear but and what you're gonna see I imagine it was people that have an acre lot or whatever you could start throwing up little sheds with your own security cameras and start having your own little storage units on your property and make decent money what a disrupting technology right that's exactly what I was thinking I mean I've already been interested in the storage unit business as it is but not now this is going to shake it up think about that I need like that all that structure anymore it's just like give me a property throw it on your own property I mean how many people have like a lot that's big enough to throw a big enough shed on there and the store at least here in the Bay Area like you know it depends on where you are in the country there's probably some reasonable rates but man I remember when we moved this last time and I we rented a storage unit just to hold the furniture for a while I'm like Jesus after two or three months I could have just bought all new furniture yeah it's a few hundred dollars a month for a decent not even a big storage unit here in the Bay Area so it's like man that's ridiculous and that's going to make it much cheaper right because people have their own property and people can put at whatever price they want so if I'll competitive yeah if I want to just help somebody out and I also hey make fifty fifty extra bucks a month or what like that and I've got two or three people doing that brilliant I love that I think that's brilliant I love seeing to how circumstances changed you know how people kind of move around and figure things out like that's a kind that's a technology that's you know was created because there seems there was a need for it a lot of people have extra space people need to rent space out let's figure out a way to connect these people another thing and I think this is great so I started this a few days ago where Jessica and I were you know we were missing people and so I said you know what what if we drive to our family family members homes stay in the car in the street they stay in that they stay in there and they're on the report make a sign hi grandma they stay they stay at their door we stay in the car I just turn the car off or whatever and we talk and we're you know 15 feet away and we hang out a little bit and talk and see each other and it was so awesome so then my mom did this I did so then my mom did this my mom one of those drive-through safaris yeah dude so my mom did this she drove to her sister's house all of her kids houses just parked in front Jessica and I got chairs sat in the garage my parents sat in the car and again we're far far enough distance apart and they just stayed in the car and we just hung out for 30 minutes and so then my cousin his his his little girl just turned seven and she was really sad about her birthday because she can't have her friends over awesome so and I saw this maybe so emotional so what they did is they planned a parade so all of her friends and all of her friends their parents got in their cars and she sat outside his daughter sat outside they had balloons you know my cousin his wife sat there on their lawn and all of her friends drove by with balloons and signs and said happy birthday as they drove that's cool as they drove I thought I saw you do a video of that did you do a video of that um did a video of that I thought I saw them okay I thought I saw someone yeah must have been somebody attached to you that's a great idea how nice is that yeah yeah I actually thought of you because I saw somebody in public the other day with this huge hula hoop right what it was it was attached because it was attached to them so it was like out you know a safe distance and they were like bumping into people because it was like in their proximity you know it was like too close that's their six foot yeah that's your six foot reach like it was like surrounding them like a force field I thought you were going to bring up salveena who champion when he was in high school that to know that yeah he can really move those hips hips can circle they don't lie they can sit on like really good dude I said hi to the crazy cat lady in my neighborhood that I always ignore I always ignore she's probably made her day she's so weird dude every morning you know if I work out look at you and just like hiss no no no so I have my go open my garage I'll be lifting and every day there's I don't know where she comes from she drives up and she feeds stray cats like like there's like 15 stray cat and she feeds them I had a neighbor like that every single day yeah and so it's like you know the crazy cat lady well this morning I'm working out and I'm just you know I'm like aching for human contact so I she walks by I'm like hey you know she looks at me like hey how you holding up she's like I'm doing okay I'm like all right cool perfect for me I don't like people it was the first time dude you want to hear something infuriating yeah so you know what the what the wet markets are in China and other parts of Asia oh no these you know yes I know yeah so no explain what's what do you mean wet market so wet markets are where they sell the exotic animal weird shit for people oh did you see the video that Jordan shallow just did there no oh I did yes and he was walking through there and he was like oh my god this would get shut down in a heartbeat in the US so we you know it's widely believed that that this virus came from a wet market where they were eating either bats or a weird animal what's called a pangolonian or something like that yeah yeah it looks like an art bark almost yeah it's like an art bark just weird animals and you know after all after all the quarantine all that stuff and China's like we're gonna you know we're gonna we're gonna ban these not they're back open serving weird strange animals yeah I just read that they were banning it like so they already reopened it I so you're right they said they were gonna ban it and then no I read an article that they're well it's like a to it's a two point something billion dollar industry like I mean that's the biggest in China because like they're all consuming these everything exotic animal they doesn't matter what it is like because as medicinal value of something and it's like it's always their penis why why is it really yeah they always take the penis or the horn you know and it's like disregard the rest of the animal it's like we need that penis there's magic and yeah there's magical penis magic Wayne but saying that about mine for years yeah well you were good thing you're not over there you know Adam on a table what you get for it eat this magic magic penis feed a family of four hey Justin did you feel that you I appreciate that family of four that's a lot of that's a lot of meat bro we got leftovers it's a hearty meal over for a book could be worse could starve an infant saying you know what I'm doing to you it doesn't matter if you're married anyway but when we watch that one comedian who was dating Ariana Grande oh yeah and he said that she screwed him because she told everybody a big dick so now he's like now when I pull it out everybody's disappointed that was the most brilliant thing ever I thought that was hilarious but anyway so back to China they there's reports coming out now that they are totally lying about the amount of people that died in Wuhan and all that stuff why is it not surprising so there was a huge shipments shipment of earns full of people's you know cremated remains or whatever yeah and so people are videotaping and be like yeah that's 10,000 or whatever earns this is not they said the deaths were X amount of thousand there's no way because look at all these whatever and then there was riots you guys hear about this there were riots in the Wuhan area because when they finally let the people out people were so mad at the draconian way that they were kept in their houses by some people starved some people got beat you know within inches of their life just for walking out of their house so now that they're letting them out there was like riots and stuff like fuck you guys you know you were bringing something up I think it's important to know too that that because I know there's a lot of people that are still like freaking out right now but what we're seeing right now in the US is is pretty positive I mean I feel like just what a week and a half ago people were panicking and saying we were going to be Italy in a week and here we're a week later and we're definitely not like Italy whatsoever and considering how big of a country we are I would say that we are keeping the death toll down reasonably low other than the few areas like New York or where it hit the retirement home or whatever in Seattle I mean for the most part the death toll is relatively low and it's crazy because so far right yeah things change well yeah and even if it even if it were to increase or stay on this pace for the next two months straight it still wouldn't catch what the flu was done you know that I saw I saw what the CDC had put out for the last six months of the flu over the last six months it was October to February yeah was six months yeah and it was a total of what 30 to 50,000 30 to 60 is what they estimate yeah in just that period of time well I mean and they estimate that's probably what we're going to see from COVID well so here's the thing though what they keep saying I kind of I don't know if you guys are doing this but I keep going I flip him back and forth like you know one day I'm I do too yeah one day I'm like ah this is overreaction the other day I'm like lock it down yeah that what they say is that they're that they're trying to prevent hospitals from getting overrun so although the flu does cause lots of deaths and stuff right it's not like all at once right whereas this has the potential according to what they're they're saying so this is I agree with what we're doing I do I think it's I think it's smart I think it's especially with when you talk about what's going on in the hospitals where I'm on the fence is you know could we have done this like getting rid of like a lot of the crazy high traffic areas but still allowed businesses to operate somehow because what I'm now concerned about is what I've been saying since day one is economically what's going to happen to us could that potentially be worse long-term to a lot of people than what we're potentially going through right now can't they open up some of these businesses and like let people in one at a time and like just manage it more specifically like that so the traffic of it and like people can keep their space and you know at some point we have to get a little bit more creative with that in terms of being able to help you know these businesses come back to life yeah you don't want to be in a situation where the medicine is worse than the disease and you know wide-ranging economic destruction causes lots and lots of deaths downstream so a lot of people don't you know that I mean what would have what would happen if you just mandated that everybody who comes into a business has to have a mask and gloves on I would think that would minimize it dramatically it's the problem with that we don't right now but we will we don't right now but we will I mean you're talking about companies I told I think I brought that up on the last episodes we did that are now pivoting over to make masks and they're talking about putting out millions per week so you know maybe even at this moment and then I saw the 3d printer somebody came up with a 3d the ability to 3d print these so you know before long we should be in a place where you can get these masks and you know I would think that okay let's allow business come up the stipulation is for people to come into the business yet rubber gloves and a mask on I would and I and I know that that's not still the most ideal situation but to still allow us to get the economy going back again I would think that would be so what here's what I think the strategy is going to be after all is said and done because as of the time of recording this Trump said he extended the you know what do they call it I have the way that I think that they're going to start to move things forward eventually will be people with pre-existing illnesses and people over a certain age right you guys remain at home everybody else you know let's keep let's let's prevent people from having more than 10 people at a time you know so keep groups small and I think the eventual strategy is going to be testing people for antibodies and if they find that you have antibodies you can go do whatever but if you don't have antibodies you know be very careful and then you know vaccine and I know that the vaccine they're moving fast with that I think that the next trials are going to be almost ready by September which I'm you know hoping that that you know that moves forward but you know what it is I heard this analogy I thought what a great analogy it's like you go to the doctor and you have an infected finger and the doctor said let's cut your off you know I mean because we don't want to spread for the whole body when the treatment might be just some antibiotic ointment or a dose of antibiotics but you don't have that yet yeah we want to be careful we want to be careful that we don't go so hard and so far that we cause more problems with so many unknowns it's and when you look at like the way it is in the country you're right New York is not doing great California which is a huge state lots of huge population we seem to be doing okay we came out the gate especially our here Santa Clara County are the first place to go shelter in place yeah so I think that helped you know speaking of expiring this is a bad transition you know it doesn't expire ever like indefinitely what honey oh I did you know that I did know that they found they found it's like 3000 year old in an Egyptian tomb they found honey I read this and it's still edible to this day it's crystallized and everything's like what in the fuck dude honey is so antibacterial and antiviral that you could just keep it yeah isn't that crazy that is something to it that is great did you see that did Mark Gucci he normally sends the same thing to all of us to our buddy Jay did he send you the ants that made the the bridge yeah each other I saw that did you see that yeah that was wild dude that was like from I mean they were I don't know I'd say a good 10 foot drop from a from like a rooftop yeah and they actually created a bridge and then we're we're transporting all the honey from the hive that was brilliant they're creating some rubbing honey all over myself yeah I'm telling you there's some kind of some kind of fountain of youth there just walking it all listening you know hey did you guys see the blowing do you guys see the video of the high school wrestler he's like 16 year old 17 year old kid who saw a grown man try to kidnap someone and he just fucking no double leg takedown yeah I love those videos smashed his ass are you serious dude it was really cool to watch that reminds me when the MMA chick that beat the dude's ass that was trying to like rob or take a purse or something I love that I thought that was such a great I love it when bad people get their asses that's maybe a bad thing to say but if you're a bad guy and you get your ass doing bad shit you get your ass I'm cheering yeah first question is for from Orianna fitness could you guys please list the absolute must do's to maintain your physique during a quarantine absolute must do's okay I'll start with the easy ones we can we can kind of go into a little more detail but number one daily activity I think is important because your total daily steps however low they were before is way lower now I know for me the you know if I'm not exercising or actively going for a walk I'm not moving well I can't I can't stress that one enough because when you work out in for an hour in people's head they register is like I was really active today but if you if you worked out for a one-hour block where let's just say a good hard workout is four hundred to six hundred calories tops you're burning and then the rest of the day you're dramatically sedentary even though you worked out you weren't very active and your your total calorie burn for the day is extremely low somebody who makes a point to walk all day long let's say you go for three one-hour walks for the day and but you don't lift weights and exercise that person who went for the three one-hour walks is going to burn way more total calories in the day than that person who just worked out vigorously for one hour so you got to you got to put that into perspective and I think that somebody who's never tracked and really paid attention to their average daily movement when we were working and we were moving in on a regular basis is is what's getting thrown off so bad I remember getting my mind blown as a trainer when the those first like body bug yet trackers kind of came out where you could put it on it would track your calories burned it would track your steps all that stuff and I remember I look at the reports of my clients and I'd see that you know my client burned more calories on Saturday and Sunday than they did on the days during the week when they were shopping or cleaning house and I'd be like what did you do Saturday you burned way more calories I don't work out exactly oh I clean the whole house or I went to the mall now shopping all day or I was washing the cars and that's when it really hit me like oh crap okay you know just because you work out once doesn't mean you're super active and here's the other side of this that's a big plus if you're stuck at home and you're fighting off you know that the anxiety and the fear and the boredom stressy yeah yeah no besides the eating working out throughout the day like you said Adam walk in the morning walking the afternoon walking the makes a huge difference and then on top of that when they do studies comparing you know somebody working out for two hours versus somebody breaking up a two hour workout throughout the day they actually find that breaking it up throughout the day burns more body fat and preserves more muscle now the second part you just said Adam was the stress eating right that's a big one man and you got to figure out strategies to avoid that and I've I've had to work through this myself and one of the strategies I've come up with is at first I tried to just not eat the you know bad food or whatever didn't work I'm it's too accessible I got too much stuff going on where I'm a little bit stressed and it's just not working so now I've moved to phase two which is I'm only having healthy snacks in the house and if I want to eat in my do and that's already made a tremendous difference so this takes a lot of discipline to do this but this I too have been battling this I mean we're just like everybody else so there's moments where I find myself binging a Netflix series and I've been sitting on the couch for hours at a time and then I'm wanting to snack on things so when I catch myself in those moments I try and get up and go find something physical for me to do like one of the things that when this happened to me just a day before yesterday I needed to wash my truck we just got back from Tahoe was just and it was a disaster like I knew it was going to be like a multiple hour project to do but I just needed to move and do something like that so it doesn't always have to be like this vigorous exercise that you need to do the must do is being mindful of your movement and then making sure that you do it now in a perfect world you're exercising and doing a training routine right you're following your maps anywhere or if you have an at home gym and following one of the other programs you're sticking to your routine and then in addition to that you're also trying to move but at the bare minimum when I think of you've got to get out and get some activity got to get out and home depot still open so I've been making multiple trips and and making little projects that I've been meaning to get to like painting this or that you know chopping down the chicken coop like renovating outside I'm just like a busy body intentionally just because I gotta get out of the house I gotta get out of like this room that room sitting here you know like I'm driving me crazy Justin's gonna have like a six-story house no so it's funny you bring that up because yesterday you know Katrina and I this is what we do like we go on multiple walks a day at least and then we've of course trying to get our workout in and yesterday we're on our second or third walk of the day and we're going through our neighborhood and we're kind of like weaving in and out of all the all the houses and I think we saw three different garages that were open and dads were out there sawing wood and staining wood and painting I've seen the same thing yes dude I'm like oh this is so great like the honeydew lists are getting done right now so yeah I'm so happy right now I think that's to me those are the must-use and then and then also being mindful if you're not because let's be real being completely transparent and honest there's absolutely been days where like the day before I was really active and I worked out good and I ate good and I told Katrina you know we're gonna chill today you know I'm gonna do anything we're gonna enjoy having the day off and just play with Max in the house all day so but when I do that I have to be extremely mindful of the difference in calorie burn that I'm probably going through and so my eating has to adjust to that so you've got to either one make a conscious effort every day to be very active moving walking doing physical activities in addition hopefully you're working out to if you don't you need to definitely modify your diet and whether that's you do well with skipping a meal and not eating or intermittent fasting during that time or just smaller portions or like Sal I think recommended the other day which I think is great is you know minimizing your carbohydrate intake you need to be mindful of this stuff so to me when I think of must-dos I think one you need to incorporate multiple walks throughout the day on top of hopefully your workouts and then when and if you don't be mindful of that and reducing your and you can make you know some of this activity a family fun thing you know like I was mopping the floors put music on and we're just all having a good time doing it together and now the reason why I'm saying that is because the mental state that you go into this stuff is going to make a big difference if it's if your mental state is poor and you feel like you're forcing yourself to be very different difficult to stay consistent if your mental state is I'm going to make the I'm accepting the fact that I got to do this stuff and I'm going to make the best of it you're more likely to stay consistent so next question is from an Orthodox fitness me what is one thing that each of you does on a daily basis as far as general maintenance for your body or something to improve on the daily I mean the easy one is is exercise and working out you know I on a very consistent basis you know luckily I have a gym in the garage and I go out there and I do something so some I typically will alternate between heavy workouts and then the days in between is when I go out there and I just touch body parts with lighter exercises or I'm working on full range of motion or I'm doing things that work on my mobility but I would say that's probably the most consistent thing that I do now the other thing I started adding is I'm trying to make more of an effort to have some kind of a daily spiritual practice I think the necessity of that is just higher now I think the you know kind of what everybody is going through I find way more value in having a daily you know spiritual practice so I'll watch preachers or pastors or spiritual leaders talk and you know I normal I just it makes me feel better because a lot of the messages that I'm tend to come across and you find this common among all most popular spiritual practices is this message of acceptance but they present it in different ways and I find that the message of acceptance is helping me the most right now so as of right now that's something that I'm making effort I would say mobility and reading for me there's a lot of days that go by that I don't get a lift in I'd like to say that every day training and lifting weights but the reality is I'm not and but what I'm really good about is there's a handful of movements from our maps prime pro that have just been life changing for me in fact I got tagged on a post the other day somebody tagged me because Mark Bell was showing that he couldn't get down in a full squat and somebody tagged me and said you should you know talk to Adam and you know his response was he's been friends with Kelly Starrett for you know and he's been in a lot of trades and still can't doesn't believe that he can do it and I was in the same camp I thought the same thing about myself I didn't think that I would ever be able to get down in a you know bottom squat and sit there comfortably it just the little bit of effort I'd put towards it just never felt like it I was in pain and didn't feel like it was possible but you know it took it took a few years of being very very consistent and and I'm very mindful now that I appreciate it so much that I make sure to do a few of these mobility drills every single day just to kind of say and I know that even if I just put a few minutes of effort towards them that I'll keep that range of motion up which is just been life changing for me I mean I had bursitis in my hips I had chronic low back pain all the time even though I was buff and looked good I felt kind of miserable and that's been gone for two years now and so it's a daily practice to always you know hit my 90 90 hit some combat hit some thread the needles like there's a handful of movements that you know that we have in Prime Pro that I made like a ritual to always make sure that I do and then the other thing would be reading whether that be like articles newsletters or diving into the books that I'm reading or listening to try and make a practice of that even if it's for just a short period of time being consistent with that that's one of the single most important things that I have found with continued growth for myself so those two practices I'd say I've been really good about always making sure that's a daily practice and then I'm striving to make sure that I have my workouts but the reality is those don't always happen but the reading in the mobility does I've definitely ritualized certain mobility moves on a daily basis mainly because of recognizing how my habits had changed based off of you know what I do for living now I'm not up rewracking people's weights I'm not walking around constantly and so I'm sitting in the chair or I'm sitting in my truck or lots of sitting so like half the day I'm trying to be very mindful of sitting in a squat I'm either in SESA or I'm in 90-90 or I'm you know down in pigeon before the boys or the dogs attack me and I'm basically down there and then just doing my thing whether the TV's on whether I'm you know like at home or I'm here if there's an opportunity for me to kind of sit in sort of a mobility pose or yoga pose or something I can do to restore my hips and my shoulders getting rotation out of my shoulders constantly because that's something that if I don't do that I can just feel the stiffness and as a result of when I go back to lifting weights all that stuff you know you start to feel that intensify and so I'm just very mindful of constantly moving my body and trying to keep you know that you know oil like a well-oiled machine and you know in terms of that like I intentionally try to take everyone in the family out on a walk and this is something that Courtney sort of helped me with at the time I'm home is we get out and we go walk and it doesn't matter where we go we have trails near my house there's a field that we go a lot of times to take the dogs but I use that time to rough house with the kids but then also we just connect and we're able to talk you know communicate a lot better when we're active and moving together as opposed to sitting and trying to recap people's days so that's definitely something I always do. From Jay M. Key, what have you guys been doing to stay mentally fit during the lockdown? I've been able to stay physically active for the most part but with the lack of social activity and outside stimulus I'm finding it hard to stay mentally engaged on a daily basis. I like this question because you know it seems like everybody is talking about the fitness thing you know how do I keep my gains how do I not lose muscle like what program can I do at home and and not a lot of people and I think probably one of the most challenging things for us if not now will be in the next 30 to 60 days is the mental side and the insanity and being okay with that and so I love this question for that and I think it's really important and I think it starts with reframing your situation you know Sal you kind of alluded to this in the intro today about you know God here we're all freaking out and so feeling sorry for ourselves and fighting over you know conservatives versus progressives and we're going back and forth and all this shit and you know oh so pissed off that we're confined to our home it's like shit could be way worse it could be a lot worse we as humans have been through way worse than what we're going through right now so I think it starts with reframing that like the fact that we have the technology that we have today that we could all literally be home have our food delivered to us stream our favorite movies and shows and a lot of people not everybody but a lot of people still have the capability to work from home and keep a job during this time of crisis so I think that the beginning of this is reframing your situation and not looking at it like this massive dark cloud because if you keep if you think like that it's only going to get progressively worse as the weeks go on so I think it starts with that and then trying to do things like I mentioned before the reading and mobility like I like to find one or two things that I can improve and this can be like personal growth like whether it be educating yourself on something learning a new skill maybe tackling like Justin's doing at his house projects that he's been meaning to get around to so if you kind of focus your energy and your mind on things that are going to improve your life and other aspects that you can still can control right now I think those people that figure that out are going to thrive during this time versus those that are like the you know counting down the days the end like with the days are going to end yeah you know you want to look at what it is about the current situation that is causing most of your mental or psychological anguish right so there's the unknown factor in the fear the strongest most based off of what I've read and researched both from the science of psychology and from the spiritual practices the popular spiritual practices to tackle that that's acceptance if you are at odds with it if you're fighting reality you're going to cause yourself a lot of problems you accept the fact that you don't know what's going to happen you accept the fact that this is what's happening makes a huge difference besides that though the other part of the and we're all starting to feel this now and I think we all took this for granted it's the lack of human contact that's a big one okay it's considered a cruel and unusual punishment during war to isolate a soldier if you had a prisoner of war and you isolated him with no human contact you know according to the Geneva convention with torture that's how much we need human connection so here's what you can do this is what I've been doing I normally almost never FaceTime anybody on my phone well since I've been locked down I FaceTime at least three people a day if not four, five or six people a day I make it a point now why is FaceTime a better than a phone call because you can see their face and that makes a huge difference in how you feel you can connect differently so FaceTime people throughout the day here's the second thing you can do go for walks outside and actively try to engage in the people that you see walking outside now I don't mean walk up to them shake their hand do the whole thing obviously you want to stay keep your distance but every time you see somebody approaching them I'm looking at them waiting for eye contact as soon as they look at me and say hey how you hanging in there and you know we say a few words and then that's it we pass each other or somebody's in their driveway hey how you doing it's kind of crazy right crazy times yes it is we'll have a two-minute conversation I stay on the sidewalk they're all the way in the driveway and then I walk away I come home feeling so much better doing that and it's an active practice because you're not getting your normal you know engagement with other people you got to seek it out make it a practice and I promise you it sounds silly makes it do it one day one day FaceTime five people have conversations with five people go for a walk and try to engage the people you pass by try that one day and watch how you feel oh I do that yeah I'm always trying to get on FaceTime now it's crazy how much more so I'm on FaceTime these days and the kids as well doing messenger and everything talking to their friends so important for them to maintain their relationships with other friends and everything too by you know we actually have tackled this and this is something that and I'm glad this question was asked because this kind of follows up too with the whole home school thing and like being away from their friends and then the stress that brings us to try and you know kind of create opportunities for them to be active and productive throughout the day without you know causing animosity and stress that trickles up to us and what we've done to really try and like solve some of this is like create a little bit more order I'm not the most organized person in the world but this is an opportunity for us to tighten things up a bit and create and restore some sort of normal scene so what we've done is like highlight that this time in the morning is when we're all going to wake up and so we've all kind of agreed to that and you know and then like everybody sort of has like something they can do to contribute to the family and then the dogs out they'll feed them like we get up like make breakfast like we all get dressed even though we don't have school we don't have to drive to work necessarily at that time everybody just wants to maintain sort of this time period this schedule that we used to have and then the rest of the day like we've highlighted certain things that we're all going to do as a family and then times where they're going to separate and they're going to do whatever the hell they want and there's work in there and there's times for scheduling you know FaceTime with the friends there's you know maybe we can walk by the grandparents house say hi and things like that so we've done that and it has brought a little more you know happiness and normalcy to the family and lower our anxiety I think between us Next question is from Justin90 What do you guys think about 24 hour fitness not freezing memberships and tons of bitches were doing this So I looked it up I looked into the details Is that true? Well so people were complaining that 24 hour fitness was making it impossible to cancel so you'd have to call into cancelling membership nobody's answering the phone and then they shut the call line down and the only way you could get in contact with anybody was apparently through their website and yet nobody was getting in contact so everybody's getting pissed off and what 24 hour fitness put out a statement and said that I'll get off this article that I I hope for their sake I hope this isn't true because this is the type of person I am so they're getting my membership dues just like the other three memberships that I'm paying right now I just haven't had the time to get around to freeze them I didn't know they are doing it but just because of that and I know that that's probably fucking a lot of people I'm the type of person that as soon as this is all cleared and gone I will walk in cancel that and I'll never get a membership Oh because of the way they handled it Yeah just because of what you handled so I hope for their sake this ain't true So here's what the CEO said in an email to members it says please be assured that your membership will be extended for the same period that our clubs will be temporarily closed so rather than freezing their dues like every other gym does you know LA Fitness did that Gold Gym did that rather than they're still billing people and then if the gyms were closed for a month when they come back they'll extend them a month I think that's a terrible It's not the way to go It's the people that are month to month If you're a month to month membership You're still creating a financial hardship for people that don't have a job right now Yeah dude If you were a gym how would you handle this Also you want to imagine here you are you're a gym company maybe they're not financially very liquid and so they're like oh shit we can't freeze we need this cash to come in They fall in the category of the retailers like I said they probably only have 19 days worth of cash backed up but I mean they also will fall in the category of being able to get loans that will probably be forgiven in the future for to keep your paying your employees and doing things like that so I would hope that that would happen like I don't know that really that pisses me off to even hear something like that because That scarcity mindset is rough I'm such a principal guy and as much as I like having the luxury of having a 24 hour fitness membership because I know that they're everywhere and if there's that few times a year I use it I'm also such a person out of principal because they did something like that that I'll cut them off I appreciate the businesses that take a lump and they come back stronger I feel like opportunity for this is you can shine in this or you can not and you can try and hold whatever money you have still coming in even though everybody else is hurting right now I have no empathy for them because part of why I left the company was and how we all got together was they weren't evolving I felt like fitness had been for the most part they were part of the stagnant part of the industry the old model and you know they really weren't reinventing themselves and thinking of the future we knew that digital media and streaming was the future of how fitness was done and 24 hour fitness was late to the party and considering they're a billion dollar company they should have been one of the first and back in Mark Mastrov days they were always the first they were the innovator they were setting the bar they were constantly creating and doing what was new and cutting edge and man once they sold and he was out of that company it was never the same and so I have no empathy for what they're going through right now whatsoever I have empathy for the people that work there and the trainers that are probably cuffed right now because they have policies they have policies that say you can't moonlight you can't be a trainer for them they'll fire you if they can so I don't know I have no idea did they lift that ban right now are they telling trainers go ahead and virtually train clients because we can't pay you anymore like what are they I have no idea what they're doing right now but the people that I feel the most sorry for are the people that are employed there that are probably not getting paychecks anymore because most of them are hourly employed I think right now one of the most important things that a company can do is pay attention to how they're going to be viewed by the public when this is all said and done so rather than just looking at the numbers and saying okay we can't afford to freeze memberships we're just going to extend it after when they come back because we're in an era of social media and fast communication now the word gets out right the word gets out that you guys are doing this and you guys look like assholes when it's all said and done that's going to look terrible on you and it will probably hurt you more than had you done the principle thing and sent out an email and said hey guys look this is probably going to hurt us really bad but obviously we're closed we're automatically freezing all memberships you probably would end up in the long term better off rather than this strategy and shutting everything down and not responding to anybody because that was a big complaint it couldn't even talk to anybody to cancel their membership that's not the best strategy and I recommend this for any business if you're suffering right now I think if you're honest to your customers tell them what's going on I'm not saying it'll save you but you're going to be remembered for how you handled the situation more a lot that's how you're going to be remembered how you handled the situation so think of it that way how am I going to be remembered how is my company going to be how are these people going to remember us when all was said and done are we going to be remembered as greedy or as unfair or are we going to be remembered as that one company that did the right thing for its customers because that I think is going to go a long way when all of this is said and done I agree and with that go to mindpumpfree.com download all of our guides resources and books and also find the three of us on Instagram you can find Justin at Mind Pump Justin you can
