Hey guys, real quick, I want to tell you about an awesome product from Organifi. It's called Green Juice. And this is truly a superfood powder. It's got everything you need in one little scoop. Something I take first thing in the morning upon waking. Well, actually right after I finished my fast, usually around 10 o'clock in the morning. And then again, I'll take it during the workout. And this has a number of cool things in it. Specifically, one that I'm a fan of is ashwagandha root. And they use a very specific form of this called KSM-66, which is highly bioavailable. It has a calming effect on the body. It's also one of these things where it's adaptogenic, which means it's going to handle your body's

stress as needed and not overdo it. So if I want to take a gang of vitamin C pre-workout, that's going to have some negative impacts on how well I train and how hard my workout is. It's going to negate some of the training effect is my point. KSM 66 works differently. So this form of ashwagandha does not impair your training load and it does help you recover quicker. There's a lot of science on this stuff. It's absolutely amazing. They've included wheatgrass, horseradish tree, spirulina, chlorella, organic matcha green tea leaf, all sorts of good stuff in here. And it tastes great. They also have turmeric,

which I'm a huge fan of. That's in their gold products and organic red beet. Check it out at Organifi.com. That's O-R-G-A-N-I-F-I.com. And use code word Kyle, K-Y-L-E at checkout for a whopping 20% off everything in the store. Thank you. All right, guys. Thank you for tuning in to the SoloCast. We're going to be doing these once a month. On today's episode, I'm going to give a couple of public service announcements.

I'm going to talk about the podcast changes because I've been getting a lot of questions about that. Why the name change? Why sponsors? What's going on with the frequency? We've been doing about one a week, but that's going to change to more. My past trips for the podcast and work and my upcoming trips. So all good shit to talk about what I've been reading. And this one last PSA I have on kids and food. So I'm making a small revision, depending how you look at it, an amendment to this podcast. So if this is the second time you're listening to it, it will sound different than the first.

What I'm amending is the statement I made about Trucy being a scam. So for those of you that don't know, Trucy makes a hydrogen water machine. They do a case study to get more information from people. They make you sign up through a third-party creditor so they can get paid. And then they compensate people on a monthly basis, or they're supposed to, rather, compensate people on a monthly basis

for providing information that they want regarding how well the hydrogen water machine is working what it's doing for their bodies all that stuff health health and wellness stuff i had jeff taraday on the podcast a while ago who who works for trucey and it recently released about two weeks ago and since that release date there's been quite a few people who have come out and said hey i think this think this is a scam. And originally when I posted this, I was pretty fucking pissed because I've promoted these guys. I've had them on the podcast and I took it personally as I think a lot of people would. I too also am on the hook for a $10,000 machine. And although I believe the machine works and I believe in hydrogen water, if people aren't getting paid and reimbursed for it, then that's a real issue.

So I had the opportunity to talk with Jeff after that podcast released. And what he told me was, they're not a scam. Obviously, he's going to say that, but there's more to it than that. And I do believe what he's telling me is true. So what he had said was that they had a real issue with keeping up with the demand for the product and keeping up with all the business services that they had enacted because they grew too fast, too quickly after partnering with Ben Greenfield. Now, my understanding from that is, A, that can happen. I had a friend who went on Rogan's podcast, who in a supplement company said his website crashed the first two days after being

on Rogan's. They just didn't have the bandwidth to withstand that kind of influx. And for three months after that, their sales were so high, they had to do backorder. So it is possible. And I think if I'm not mistaken, Ben did talk about Trucy on the Joe Rogan experience, which is far greater numbers

than he or I combined. Point being, I'm not sure that they're a scam, but I am sure that they haven't run business well over at Trucy. And for that reason, I'm going to continue to distance myself from them. Their podcast is going to stay taken down. The Instagram clips that I made are taken down. And I'm not going to promote these dudes.

If you haven't signed up for them to do the case study i don't recommend doing that if you have signed up for them and you're a part of the case study and you've not been receiving checks on time or you haven't been receiving checks at all then go ahead and reach out to me or jeff taraday and uh you can find me online if you write me on Twitter, it's the most easiest place for me to see. So at Kingsboo on Twitter, at Kingsboo on Instagram, and we'll try to get shit sorted. My hope is that these guys right the wrongs and make people happy

and that people want to be a part of this. I don't, I think it's just, it just doesn't make any sense that somebody would try to create a Ponzi scheme in this day and age with the internet. People talk and people are talking right now. So with that, it just doesn't make sense. Like why would somebody create something where they know they're going to get found out? So I am leaning on the side of they've just done shitty business and hopefully they can

change that going forward. But that's it. That's the public service announcement regarding Trucy with the update. I do believe the water machine works. I do believe in hydrogen water. I don't think if you are not a part of the case study that you should sign up for that. And I would hope that everybody who is involved already can get what they had coming, can get everything that they wanted from it. Customer service gets right and people start getting paid on time. All right. Outside of that,

some good news. Podcast changes. Why the name change? This is a big one. So for a long time, I've wanted more flexibility in the guests that I had and just what I talked about in general. And that's not to say that this isn't going to be a health and wellness show anymore. It certainly is. Obviously, I think of the umbrella of health and wellness as physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. And all things optimization can fall into any one of those quadrants, including financial optimization, because that very much so contributes to our emotional and mental state of well-being. I'm not going to say that's physical or spiritual, but it certainly is mental emotional. There's a lot of shit tied to money around that. So I'll talk more about that in a second. But bottom line

is I wanted a bit more flexibility. And there was a couple other factors. The show used to cost on it about a thousand dollars per guest. And although Aub and other people didn't have an issue with it, some people did. And so being that the show was in the red, I wanted more sponsors from outside companies and it kind of went back and forth for a while. And then they finally said, sure, let's, you know, I've talked about having the name changed to mine on it would remain a sponsor indefinitely. And I would then be able to get sponsors, not only to cover the cost of the show, but also to help with my own personal income. So that's why we have sponsors. It may be a little bit annoying at first or jarring to hear a mid

roll ad. I understand that, but those do pay the most. And I want you to know that by supporting the show or one of the ways you can support the show is by using my coupon code at checkout from some of these products. So if you want to try an Organifi product or you want a whoop watch and you use code word Kyle at checkout, it really helps me out a lot to keep these sponsors around. And that helps me to travel. All right, guys, one more quick one I want to tell you about. Whoop. It is by far the very best device in the self-quantification movement. That's a lot of fucking words. What does that mean? That means I need to take a deeper look on how my training is impacting my body and how my sleep is impacting my recovery. All these things are factored into the equation here with the Whoop through their incredible app, which uses machine learning to dial in how you sleep. For example, when I share a bed,

I typically get 12% less REM sleep because I'm sharing a bed with my four-year-old son. I wouldn't know that without the Whoop or without the machine learning technology they use to their questionnaires on a daily basis. But there's way more to this. The new 3.0 they just came out with has a five-day battery life. That means you charge it once every five days, roughly, depending on how often you're checking your stats. It does heart rate 24-7 around the clock. In addition to sleep quantification, it quantifies your daily stress and exertion through their strain meter, which is incredibly important. That's the way that I can tell exactly how hard I'm working throughout the entire day. So people monitor their workouts with a heart rate strap, things like that, but they don't know how many miles they've put in. They don't know all

the other factors that have gone into this. They don't know if the food they ate caused more stress for their body. All these things factor into that daily strain. And it really can get a closer look on exactly how hard I'm working throughout a 24-hour cycle because of WHOOP. In addition, all these wonderful new features, they're going to gamify the system. That means you can start a group and have your friends join you. That also means I'm starting a group. And when you order the Whoop using code word Kyle at checkout, you'll be automatically added to my group. That means you can see exactly how well I slept, exactly how well I recovered, and if I'm pushing it or if I'm being lazy. Point is, it's a really fun way to check in with friends, to have actual accountability with one another, and to take your training and sleep and recovery to the next level. For more, go to

I've been traveling a lot for this show. It makes more sense for me to travel to my guests than for me to bring people here to Austin now, just because if I go to LA, I can get five to 15 guests in a week as opposed to flying one guest out at a time. So that's what we've been doing. I had a super long trip out to central america went to costa rica i talked about doing ayahuasca on aubrey marcus's podcast we'll link to that in the show notes um great episode with him and uh talked a bit about my travels with my family and also

talked about a little bit of this nine-day podcast trip I had through California, Sacramento to San Diego, in which I also had Montezuma's Revenge from Mexico the entire time. And that was really one of the most challenging things I've ever had to do was shit my brains out three or four times in the 15 minutes prior to a podcast, pucker my butt cheeks and let it rip for an hour. Well, not let it rip, but let it podcast for an hour and then immediately sprint back to the restroom to go again. I did that for the vast majority of my interviews. So that's one thing that kind of sucks is, you know, if I flew somebody in for a few days, I might be able to move that podcast around a bit to accommodate for some sickness, but out there, you just got to let it rip. We had so many people lined up that took months of planning.

So once you have your time to go, you just got to go. And that's what I did. So I'm really happy. But if you hear or notice I'm a little bit low energy in some of those interviews that haven't released yet, that's why. The other reason I'm going to change the frequency to include more podcasts on a monthly basis, instead of once a week, we're going to have one solo cast a month in addition to the once a week and another bonus episode at least once a month. So we're looking at six episodes a month right now for the foreseeable future, likely through the end of the year. And then possibly we'll go up to eight episodes a month with one as a solo cast going forward. And the reason for that is we've stockpiled quite a bit. I'm recording this the day before it comes out, July 18th. And we're

done through the end of October right now. So that means Dr. Peter Attia, unless I move his podcast up, which we may, he would come out the end of October. It's kind of odd to think because generally the topics that I'm discussing with people have somebody is dropping some knowledge bombs on anything they're a master of, I think that's going to remain true. But there are some things that have a timeline to it. There are some things that matter in terms of current events. And I think it'd be better if my guests didn't have to wait four months to get a podcast out. So that's really the goal of starting to increase. And you guys will see more podcasts, hopefully enjoy them. Please, please, please, I want to hear from you guys. So I know a lot of people online that follow me on Instagram don't listen to the podcast. I know a lot of people that listen to the podcast don't follow me on Instagram. Get your ass on Instagram at Kingsboo, K-I-N-G-S-B-B-U, and write me there. Don't DM me, just write me because I don't check DMs. Just write me on a post and say, hey, I liked this part of the episode, or you know what, that part of the episode I didn't like, whatever you want

to tell me, talk to me. You got any questions, I'll answer it as long as I see it. And that'll be the way we can do that. That will be the way that we can communicate and talk about what's going on. Outside of that, upcoming trips. I got some really cool ones coming up. I'm heading to New York City. I'm going to interview a guy who I've become a massive fan, Ramit Sethi. So we'll link to his episode on the Tim Ferriss Show in the show notes here. Just an incredible guy. He wrote the book, I Will Teach You To Be Rich. And if you follow me on Instagram, you saw me post about it. I finished the book. I have it on Audible and paperback. It is hands down the best fucking

book I've ever read on finance by far, by far. It's completely to the point. It has a beautiful writing style. It gives you very easy to use tactics on how to optimize your finances, how to automate your finances, and how to stop fucking thinking about where your money's going and when and how much you got to have for guilt-free spending and all this other shit. I mean, it's the best by far. It's completely changed my financial structure. And I'm not saying that I'm, yo, I'm rich now. I'm just saying that I am putting a bit more away towards the future. I've maxed out my 401k. I'm doing a lot of things. And if you don't have a 401k, that's totally fucking fine. There's something for everybody. So if you make less than a certain

amount of money, obviously you could start a Roth IRA, which something I think all of us would have loved to have started in our teens or early 20s. Bottom line is, read the fucking book. If you don't think finances are important, trust me, they are. Finances are kind of like Paul Cech's quote around health. Paul Cech said, sooner or later, your health will be your number one concern. Sooner or later, your health will be your number one concern. Whether you make it your number one concern now or whether it becomes that on your deathbed, sooner or later, it becomes your number one concern. Sooner or later, money becomes at least the number two concern. And quite often, it is the number one concern. Whether you're doing well or whether you're not, there's a lot of people out there who make cheese and spend it as fast as it comes in.

I was one of them. I lived like a poor person who wins the lottery for years when I started making money in the UFC and then after, even though I didn't make much in the UFC. So, and I guess to elaborate on that, poor person wins the lottery. A year later, they have none of it. And that's kind of what it was. I'd get a fight of the night bonus. It was gone. I would get a pay raise at work

and I would have nothing to show for it, nothing in savings and nothing going towards my retirement. Whereas now that has completely shifted and the money that's left over is completely available for guilt-free spending, which is really something that Ramit gets to is that you don't have to fucking cut back on lattes. You don't have to shop for grain-fed garbage meat at some shitty grocer. You can still get the grass-fed beef and

still do it right. But it really does give you more power and control. And most importantly for me, and the reason I'm fucking really talking about this and why I'm really excited to interview him, is there's a certain degree of stress that washes away when you have a general plan around where your money's going and what it's contributing towards. So I know for a fact that I'm going to be okay if I make it to 67 years old and keep contributing the way I am.

My entire family will. That's a very good thing to look forward to. Outside of that, I just feel better about where my money's going now. And I feel more comfortable when I want to go out and splurge. I want to go out and eat a nice dinner at Red Ash, or if I want to eat a cheap one at Hopdoddy, a couple of my favorite restaurants here in Austin. I can fucking do that and not flinch and worry about where money's coming next and those kind of things. So there's so much to it. He has an amazing website, IWillTeachYouToBeRich.com, which has all sorts of learning tools, tons of blogs. And he also has a lot of courses that are really cool too. So I'm building a website right now,

and I'll be doing some courses myself. So I may end up taking one of his courses and use that as a business expense. Most likely that'll happen sometime next year. But all that to say, huge fucking fan of Ramit. Get into his work, dive deeply. It will help you out, I fucking promise you. Outside of that, I've got Wednesday Martin,

author of the book, Untrue, who's been on Aubrey's podcast. Really one of the best books ever written about female sexuality, to put it plainly. And it's kind of the, if Chris Ryan's book, Sex at Dawn, was one of the first big books to break through the evolutionary biology surrounding polyamory and different things like that. And this doesn't mean you have to be fucking open relationship or any of that shit. It just means we are attracted to other people. If we can fucking acknowledge that, it doesn't change because of a commitment we make. And as Aubrey says, and other people, if you choose monogamy, understand that's the sacrifice both of you make to commit to one another for love, for each other, not for any other reason. But point being, the book Untrue is phenomenal. I know I have a great,

great fucking conversation with Wednesday Martin. That one's coming up in New York. And also Alex and Alison Gray. They are the visionary artists who've been on Rogan's a couple of times. They were recently on Aubrey Marcus's podcast. The coolest psychedelic art I've ever seen. I've seen a lot of the things they've painted in visions prior to seeing the art. So whether it was a mushroom trip or 5-MeO DMT in particular, the second I'm flipping through their art book, I see something and I'm just like holy i've seen this before and um that's pretty cool not sure what that means if it's in the collective consciousness or if we are looking at some uh aspect of god however it comes across um it's pretty rad to have shared

experiences like that and so these guys are just incredible people and And I'm really excited to podcast with them as well. So we've got the New York trip. We've got... What else do we got? We got Sedona. I'm going to interview Porangi again, my man. Check out his music, the Ayahuasca album. And he has a self-titled album, Porangi, P-O-R-A-N-G-U-I. It's on Spotify, Apple Music. Been interviewing him and Anahata, who's been on the show before. We talked about the Native American Spirit Wheel the last time she was on. She's fantastic.

That'll be at the end of September. Then a couple of trips to LA where hopefully I will get my man, Duncan Trussell, to come on this show. I was on his show about a year ago, I want to say. He's a bucket list guest to have on. So I want to pick his brain. Hopefully one of those two weeks works for him and quite a few other good guests. I'm going to have Laird Hamilton on. You know, we just got Gabby Reese. That podcast hasn't released yet due to this long timestamp

of waiting. But like I said, we'll get some more frequency. Hopefully these shows will start getting cranked out and you guys will get the very best from me. And our very last PSA, one more public service announcement. If you have kids, I'm just going to say this from experience. If you have kids, don't give them sugar. That may sound stupid for me to tell you this, but there are a lot of fucking parents that give their kids sugar. And it's ridiculous. You would not, and please forgive me. I know the R word, retard, is no longer allowed to be used. I have many people that I know that are close to me, even family members that have mental disabilities and challenges. And I would never say that around them or use that to describe them. But the point is you wouldn't give a kid who had a mental handicap, a line of cocaine. Why do you give toddlers who still have an infant? Why do you give them fucking sugar?

It's like giving crack to somebody. It wires them up. They go on an emotional roller coaster and it just fucks them up. They can't think. They can't do shit. Why do you think so many kids have fucking ADD and ADHD now? It's not that we're changing anything. It's what the fuck, it's what they eat. It's what they put in their body. So that said, what do you give your kid for a special treat? You don't want them to miss out on life. Do your fucking homework. There's keto cookies like fat snacks and other products that are pretty damn good. There's keto ice cream. There's a company called Rebel that makes keto ice cream. The whole pint has seven grams of net carbohydrates in it, the whole pint. And it tastes

phenomenal. I have no affiliation with these dudes, but they've got cookie dough ice cream, butter pecan, you name it. So spend a little extra and buy them a fucking treat that's actually good for them so they don't run around the supermarket like a little asshole

and they actually listen to you. That's my final PSA. I know that was a little rough around the edges, but I'm so sick of fucking seeing kids. It'd be like a doctor committing malpractice. That's the way I look at a parent who generally is just ignorant and has no idea what it's doing to their kid.

But childhood obesity is on the fucking rise. It is massive. Childhood diabetes, on the rise. All fucking disease, on the rise. And a lot of these are metabolic. And if you have read Tripping Over the Truth with Travis Christofferson, you'll see there's a metabolic element to cancer.

Type 3 diabetes, what Dr. David Perlmutter calls Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and dementia, type 3 diabetes, also cause as a metabolic condition from too high of chronically elevated blood sugar levels. All right, that's my spiel. I love you guys. Remember, there's always something you can give your kids so they don't become weird about food and fucking go off the deep end when they go over to their friend's house. Just think, put a little extra effort into it, and you can still find tasty treats that make them feel like they're not missing out. And I tell you what, you will love, they will love you. They will love the food that you give them because they know they still get something and they'll also have an idea of what's healthy and

what isn't, which is really important that we teach our kids that. Because when they are out of the house, they'll have to make those choices for themselves. But if they're eating healthy, they'll at least be able to feel the difference when they eat like shit. Thank you guys. I love y'all and we'll chat soon.
