COVID never made sense to me. Let me tell you where I'm not gonna die, hiding in my house. This is America, mother. People talk shit online to me about everything. I could literally only sleep 40 minutes. I'll never go to a doctor again to talk about my general health, ever.

Lane Norton, you called him a juice angel. What's fascinating about that guy is, I hate excuses, so I designed my life so there's no excuse. TRT has become the magic, everybody thinks it's a magic pill. I just want a good quality of life for the rest of my life. Numbers don't lie.

Look at my blood work two years ago when I met him. This is Gary Brekka. And look at my blood work now. I would never be a part of something that's scammed people for money. I don't need money. I'm good. One of my guys, 54 years old, just had a fucking stint putting his heart. Talked to the doctor and my doctor, he's like, yeah, he could fucking drop dead at any time,

weight 255. Introduced him to Brekka. He works out here every morning with me now. He's fucking 208 pounds and completely changed his whole life and turned it around. This other kid just texted me this morning and he's like, I hooked him up with Brekka. He said, this is the first time I broke 200 before high school. I wake up every day. I feel incredible.

I love my life. I'm happy. I'm energetic every day. I'd imagine like a lot of these guys don't have the same access that you do to all the different technology. So maybe they just go outside and see the sun and stuff like that. Adam Corrigan, my buddy, owns bars and restaurants here and a bunch of other shit. No, these guys all got money.

So all these people that have access to the best health care on the fucking planet are all my two doctors who are giving me shit about Brekka. They're both a Brekka now. Wow. I wanted to ask you about that because it seems like a lot of people give you shit about Brekka. You see online… Nobody gives me shit. People talk shit online, but people talk shit online to me about everything.

You know what I mean? And this is my philosophy about Brekka. You don't like it. Fuck, don't use it. Don't do it. Take a mouthful of pills every day, put that CPAP on your fat fucking face, and good luck going to sleep. Good luck to you. I love that attitude because I think going to sleep. Yeah, I like good luck to you

I love that attitude because I think so many people are like well you have to buy this and you have to buy that but Gary seems to say on every podcast I've seen him on so well you can just walk outside and get the same thing as a red light there people you just do this And he's giving you alternatives as well hundred percent and here's the thing There's a lot of things that I love about Gary Brekha One of the first things that I notice about a guy like him is when somebody comes in, first of all, let's start with, I believed in none of this shit.

I was a believer in modern medicine. And if you went through COVID and you still believe in modern medicine, you still believe that these people are out and they're looking out for you and care whether you live or die, you're out of your fucking mind and good luck to you. I wish you all the luck in the world. I met Gary Brekka and then there's other guys out there

like Dr. Peter Attia, there's, what's the guy's name, Huberman or? Andrew Huberman. All these guys. And I asked Gary about these guys, he says they're fucking, they're great. And they're this thing. He doesn't shit on anybody else.

It's not like, oh no, my stuff is the best and everybody else. And he also has this philosophy that this doesn't belong to me. This belongs to humanity. Everybody should know this and everybody should, and that's why he has alternatives for people that can't afford it.

The unfortunate part of being healthy and living a good quality of life is it's fucking expensive and it's incredibly time consuming. It's a full-time job. It really is a full-time job. So, you know, I called Brekka's office. I was trying to actually get in. I never got to be able to see him for whatever reason.

Maybe we can change that because I'd love to interview him for this. Done. But I was trying to get in touch with him and I was on the phone with, I guess his assistant, and she was telling me like, oh, you have pain, you have chronic pain. I said, yeah, that's what I deal with.

And she said, you need hydrogen water. Have you done anything with the hydrogen water? Do you know anything about that? So let me tell you what I do with the hydrogen water. This was fascinating. So he told me, yeah, I've got a bunch of bottles out there. Have you ever done it? No, I don't know.

I'll give you both the bottles. It sounds like Hocus Pocus. I literally buy 15 of these fucking things and give them away to people And I'll give you two one when you leave so The hydrogen water thing he told me here's what you do when you fly, right? You get jet lag and shit like that Fast the entire time you fly you don't eat don't eat any of the food on the plane

or any of that shit, and just drink the hydrogen water. When you land, you fucking acclimate to the time and you don't get fucking jet lag. Wow. It's a fact. I've done it. Yeah, so you fly, you don't eat, he's got a little protocol that you do while you're flying.

It's fucking unbelievable. But I don't drink hydrogen water every day. Just once in a while. Yeah, I do it when I fly, and yeah, and I do it, you know, and unbelievable. But I don't drink hydrogen water every day. Just once in a while. Yeah, I do it when I fly. And yeah, and I do it, you know, and here and there I'll do some hydrogen water. But yeah, that's not something I do every day. My mother-in-law, she's 80 years old.

Gary just helped her get through cancer. Wow, really? Yeah. And you know, she had surgery with doctors and everything else. But Gary's on every fucking call working with the doctors with their cancer. And he has heard to him a lot of hydrogen. How have we in the United States gotten so fucking fat and sick?

What do you think? What are some of the main things you think happened? With what? Just us getting so fat as a society. I mean, listen, there's a few things that we're all starting to learn right now. Doctors, I'll never go to a doctor again to talk about my general health ever. Right? If I break my fucking arm or I need surgery or whatever, I'll go see a doctor. It's because they don't know nutrition a lot of times.

They know nothing about anything. They don't fix anything. They throw pills at it. Tell me fucking CPAP machines I bought and how many masks I bought for the CPAP machine. This one dried me out. The other one fucking squirts water in your nose and you start fucking choking in the end. I could literally only sleep for 40 minutes. And I'll tell you the truth. So when Gary Brekka told me that I had 10.5 years to live, me and my wife absolutely fucking believed

that he was wrong. I actually had less. I fucking woke up every night coughing, choking, gasping for air, and I threw up pretty much almost every night from sleep apnea. -"Fuck it Fridays." -"Yeah, well, those didn't help." But that was my thing.

You know, the other thing that you'll see online, you'll see people go, well, you're fucking rich. Of course you can do it. Yeah, yeah, be rich and look at the things that you have access to and tell me it's easier I can eat in the best fucking restaurants anywhere in the world I can you can have basically whatever you want so, you know how hard it is to be able to have whatever you want and actually do the complete opposite and and you know fast and That's the other thing that I think changed my life Too Gary got me into fasting. You know, you still fast mostly

What time is it? I don't eat till two o'clock. My first meal is at two o'clock And then you know, I saw this thing online About a seven-day water fast this Indian doctor from Boston was saying, you fast for seven days and it starts to, you know, clears everything out. Cancer, you know, all these other bad things. It sheds all the dead cells and new cells generate. A lot of this stuff seems like common sense to me. What the cold plunge does to you

and how your body reacts to it. Exactly. Fasting and all these other things. Gary, I don't do a fucking thing without calling him first. I call him and say, I saw the seven day water fast. He goes, don't do seven days. Seven days will start to cause other problems. That's a long time.

Do 72 hours and you'll get the same results. So I started doing the 72 hour water fast. I filmed it and it was like the most fucking viral thing ever. How was it for you? More people talk to me about the fucking water fast than they do UFC or anything else. It was incredible. It's great. I loved it.

I absolutely loved it. The other thing that I think some of these things do for you, whether it's cold plunging, fasting, the mental toughness, to battle your mind, your mind fucking with you telling you, we're starving, we need to eat, fuck you, we got another 17 hours to go. You start craving all these weird things that you haven't eaten since you were a kid. It's pretty weird the way the mind fucks with you.

Same thing with cold plunging. When you first start cold plunging, your brain's telling you, get out of here, get out of here, you can't take it anymore, we gotta get out. And then you fight past that. It's brutal. And it just, it takes you to another level. It's like, yeah, fasting is like right around the corner

from being as starving as you've ever been is unlimited. You know, you have unlimited energy. Like, a lot of people don't know that. They're not willing to go through the pain. I would have never dreamed. You're right. The energy that you get, your workouts go to another level, but the level of clarity that you get your workouts go to another level but the level of clarity

That you get in your brain is is it's almost uh, it's like euphoric or something. It's weird I'm not a religious person. I'm the exact opposite. I believe that this is heaven And this is as good as it gets Make this fucking shit that's going on right now the best that it can possibly be for you because when it's over, it's the most final thing ever. You're dead, you're done. So that's what I believe. So as I start to get into like fasting and all the, I used to call this hippie shit two years ago.

If I talk to me two years ago, I'd be like, this dude is a fucking crackpot. He's nuts. But this is how I am Show me prove it to me. Yeah, and I'll fucking believe you know, um mark And I like I after I was addicted to opioids I reached out to him for help and then I started he had me on like a you know different diets and whatever and then I

Decided to go on a carnivore diet and everybody told me dude, what are you doing? That's so crazy, blah, blah. That carnivore diet was so helpful because it was mainly like fasting and then eat a little bit of meat. Fasting and eat a little bit of meat. And then I switched to adding a little bit of fruit into it. Just basically like a meat and fruit diet.

It's very simple, but it helps so much. And I think so many people are not willing to just actually try something that might be really hard. They can't give up the snacks. And what was your diet like? Like the rest of the diet was like. Because you've been exercising forever too, right? I always worked out.

Yeah, you always worked out. And I did different types of diets here and there, but nothing that ever really stuck. And I even tried keto. I reached out to you years ago, do you remember? Before Gary, I had done some keto, yeah, I was on whatever. But when you do the, do you remember? Yeah. Before Gary, I had done some keto and he, yeah, I was whatever. But when you do the actual whole protocol that Gary does.

Lifestyle. So what's the rest of his diet like for you? That's it. I do keto. I do strict keto, you know, every once in a while. Like Lorenzo Fratita, my partner, he does carnivore. He's very jacked. He does carnivore.

Pretty jacked. Yeah, he's jackeded and he fucking loves it. And you know what you start to realize as you get older? You guys 50 yet? Yeah. What are you? I'm 50. 41 actually.

So once you hit 50, you start to realize, A, you can't do the shit you did when you were fucking 30. Right? Sure, you can't do the shit you did when you were 42, when you're 50. And you don't need as much food as you did when you were younger. It's like It's almost like Eating has become more of a luxury for us these days than it than it is a necessity

When you really think back to where we came from think about where we came from you you would go out and hunt and You would you know get your food you would eat it food, you would eat it, and you wouldn't fucking eat again until you hunted again. So basically these people would hunt, eat, fast, then eat again. How does that not make sense? It totally makes sense. They had to burn a lot of calories to get your food. Your refrigerator, you ever heard referred to as an ice box?

Yeah. It was called an ice box because what they did is they put ice in a fucking box and you would put your shit that you wanted to keep in there in the icebox. That's when refrigeration starts. Only a little bit of stuff, yeah. So before refrigeration, there was no processed foods. You didn't go to the fucking fridge and pull shit out of the fridge. You hunted, you made it, then you ate and you didn't eat again until you fucking hunted.

That just completely makes sense to me. Yeah, I think that we've lost our way with all the processed foods and different things that you can eat. Try to diet, and try to sit down on a fucking Sunday and watch TV. Yeah, fucking Del Taco and fucking Doritos, and you name all the shit that's thrown at you all day,

and you're like, yeah, let me grab some fucking Doritos and you name all the shit that's thrown at you all day and you're like, yeah, let me grab some fucking Doritos. And it just becomes part of, it's just. Yeah, you're watching UFC, you're eating some pizza and some wings, right? Let's order pizza, let's order, 100%. So Gary got you on a diet, did all your blood work. Is there any like supplements or drugs?

Like is there testosterone or anything like that that you're using? I take, all the pills that I take now are all supplements. I'm on supplements. The other thing is that I was on testosterone before. You just get fatter. The wrong kind and too much. He's got me on fucking barely any now.

So I take a small shot of testosterone two times a week. And that's the other thing too. When you see people online, they think that testosterone or steroids are the fucking answer to everything, right? Oh yeah, you got fucking bullshit. Take too much of the fucking TRT and you know, the way some of these guys, you know TRT has become the magic fucking,

everybody thinks it's a magic fucking pill. So you go to the local fucking TRT guy around here and what happens is... That's because this guy's moving. Yeah. They put you on some, and this is what you do. You go like this and then you go like this. Right? Jerry's got me on some shit where you literally go like this. And when you get the right amount of the right kind at the right whatever you feel fucking awesome

When you don't you feel like shit Yeah, and you actually gain weight and you fucking it's terrible the abs come from the diet Not from like nobody gets ripped on testosterone abs come from only a couple of things right proper diet You know and the nutrition as far as the supplements that you take and what you do and fucking hard work. That's it You have to come I literally this gym A month and a half ago was a completely different gym. I was doing the same workout with the same equipment For almost two years. I literally gutted this whole fucking gym sent all the equipment to the police department I donated it to the police and then rebuilt this entire gym because I want to go to another level this year.

And my thing used to be, you know, when I was getting, you sent me to Slingshot before I was fucking, I was benching, you know, three fucking, I benched 355 in New York at Gold's Gym, like maybe 10, 12 years ago, whatever it was. And I would always fuck around bench press, then I blew my shoulder out. Had to go through recovery and all that stuff.

I do lightweight for reps. I don't care about how much I bench anymore, any of that kind of shit. All that's out the window. I just wanna feel good and have a good quality. And even the 10 years, I don't give a fuck how long I live. However that's gonna play out it is, I just want a good quality of life for the rest of my life.

I wanna feel good, I wanna, you know, and I told Gary, the problem is, and the reason that I've been so outspoken and vocal about this is, once I turned 50, which seemed like yesterday, I'm about to be 55 in July, right? I was like, fuck man, I feel like shit. I was having all these problems.

I'm like, this is what 50 feels like. Then when I met him and I started to feel incredible, I'm like, I feel incredible. And Brecker would go, no you don't, you feel normal. This is what normal is supposed to feel like. And yeah, I'm all in for fucking normal. What made you turn the corner? Because you said you didn't believe him.

You thought he's full of shit. Like, oh yeah, I only got 10 years to live, or you thought maybe even shorter period of time. But what made you believe what he said? Because it must have been obvious that you had high blood pressure. You probably weren't feeling good, weren't sleeping well, right? How about this? I'm going to add two of the best doctors in the fucking country, checking my shit all

the time my triglycerides were so fucking high that when Gary Brekka Gary Brekka got like a call from the lab going This guy could fucking drop dead at any minute his triglycerides through the roof. I was like 700 something right? Yeah seven something right Wow I Had doctors checking my blood all the time, right? Felt like shit, been telling my doctors I feel like shit. Where Gary Brekka got me, first of all, Carrie Kasem, remember Casey Kasem? His daughter and I have been friends for years.

And you know, her and I are aligned in many ways, but I always was like, she's a fucking hippie. She didn't know all this fucking hippie shit. Come rub some fucking leaves on you and all this bullshit. Just never believed in any of that shit. So she introduces me to Brekka. And at the time, my son just turned 21. So we had his party down in Miami. So Gary Brekka ended up being the guy to come do our IVs. And he's like, let me do your do it. So when I found out that he could predict when you would die and be close to when you were gonna die,

I was like, fuck, that's all I wanna know now. Tell me when I'm gonna die, you know, in a joking way, because I thought this guy was a crock of shit. So he did my blood work. He said, let me fly out to Vegas and walk you through your blood work. I said, just fucking tell me when I'm gonna die.

He flies out here, I agree to it. This guy knows nothing about my medical history and I'm one of these guys, my wife doesn't know what's wrong with me. I don't fucking walk around bitching and complaining about this and that like some little fucking pussy telling everybody, oh, fucking aches and... I got friends that get in a room with them for 10 minutes

and you know every fucking thing that's wrong with them. I'm not that guy, right? So Gary started walking me through what's wrong with me. Shit that I never fucking told anybody. And he was right. The big one was my legs. My legs were so fucked up that I had trouble putting my shoes on in the morning and stuff.

Really? How were they fucked up? He says it's because of my cholesterol. He said, so there's two different types of cholesterol. If you take a bucket and you put BBs in a bucket, you know how that is, or you can put tennis balls in a bucket. You want tennis balls, not BBs. Mine were fucking BBs. And that was your cholesterol in your bucket. You want tennis balls, not BBs. And he said, mine were fucking BBs.

And that was your cholesterol in your blood. Yeah, so I literally couldn't, I couldn't fucking move my legs. I couldn't do any of this. This is death row right here. So I built death row, all the nastiest leg fucking machines. I didn't do fucking legs for 10 years.

I would do all, I couldn't do legs. I could barely put my fucking shoes on. But when he told me- Your legs like numb and swollen and all that shit too? Sort of the touch. You had some of that, right? Yeah, yeah, edema, where you blow up and get like swelling in the ankles.

Fucking terrible, my ankles were huge and fucking, so I would have these massage people come massage my legs and it was fucking torture, man. It didn't feel good. So then when they're done, they'd stretch me out and do all this shit. I started doing Pilates. None of that shit worked.

And I was like, I'm fucking 50. This is what happens when you're 50. But he came out and he said, your legs must be in pain all the time and you must have trouble even tying your shoes. And I was like, what the fuck? Now I would tell my doctors this, right? Put me on a different fucking blood pressure medicine. Put me on another fucking, you know, all this other shit.

I was on thyroid medicine. I was doing the $10,000 cholesterol shots in the stomach. Wow. And my shit was still all fucked up. This dude shows up, tells me what's wrong with me, and then he says to me, give me 12 weeks, and I'll change your whole life. Okay, motherfucker, I can do anything for 12 weeks. I'll give this guy 12 weeks and I'll change your whole life. Okay, motherfucker, I can do anything for 12 weeks.

I'll give this guy 12 weeks. Understand, I believe in none of this. Yeah. In six weeks, I'm a completely different person. I start to feel it and you start to feel so good. I'm like, I'll do this for the rest of my fucking life. It didn't take 12 weeks. What do you think people online are so dismissive of,

like you know a lot of people do talk shit, like you said, why do you think they are like that? Well let me tell you this, I'll tell you right now, name the fucking celebrity. They're with Gary Brecker right now. They're all with Gary Brecker. These are people who have access to the best healthcare in the world.

But none of them come out and talk, some of them do. But nobody comes out and talks about it like I do. I talk about it so much that people think I'm getting paid and I'm part of this thing, right? First of all, not only do I not get paid to do it, I'm still paying this fucking guy. Believe me, I pay him a lot of money. And I would never be a part of something

that fucking scammed people for money. I don't need money, I'm good. I do this and open up, I let people look at my fucking blood work online, let people look at all my shit so that people can realize this is real. And I think everybody wants to feel good and everybody wants to be this way, just show me how to do it.

Tell me how. And I think that's one of the cool things that Gary does is he gives a lot of this information out online for people to how to do it. Tell me how. And I think that's one of the cool things that Gary does is he gives a lot of this information out online for people to try to do. And my thing is always this. I don't care if you're Catholic, you're Muslim, you're gay, you're straight, you're this, you're that. Whatever your fucking deal is in life,

live your life and be the happiest person that you could possibly be. If you don't believe what I'm saying and you don't wanna take Gary Brekker's advice, don't. Don't see your doctor. What I think is really valuable is your enthusiasm about it, because like you said, you don't need it,

and you're so pumped about it, you're telling everybody. You know, you're... Look at what I've built here. Yeah. This is my office, you see my fucking house. Right? This is where I fucking work. Yeah. Right? You see my fucking house.

My house, and I got a place up in Maine I'm revamping that whole place I used to have a bar up at my place in Maine used to get fucked up every night with all my cousins and drink And party and all that shit Yeah Now I'm building one of these up in Maine for even when I'm on vacation when I travel I bring a cold plunge There's a cold plunge that goes everywhere with me all over the world. It's amazing unless they have places there Like we just went to we're in in St. Louis, and they had

a place called Float. I went over there and used their cold plunge and stuff like that. But when I tell you I'm all in on this and this has completely changed my life, I'm serious. And there's a lot of people that I care about in my life that, you know, my cousin up in Maine right me and him are like like brothers okay. We go on these big motorcycle rides every year we're going to Sturgis this year right so he starts getting fucked up before the ride you know he's 58 59 now starts losing his grip strength arms going numb fucking we go on a ride, his face starts getting paralyzed.

I'm no doctor, but this dude's about to have a stroke. So I fly him out to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Mayo Clinic, greatest fucking hospitals in the world. Goes through all the tests. They can't diagnose them, right? So after I did the whole Gary Breckett thing, Gary fucking blew up and you know, he's got fucking everybody.

So he's got a girl that works for him named Stephanie. Stephanie works with me now. She comes out here once a week and da da da. I, you know, Gary's busy, he's got his shit going on. I let him do his thing. I'm not up Gary's, I'm not one of those guys up his ass 24 hours, my fucking toe hurts, what do I do? You know what I mean? I'm on the fucking protocol, I know what I'm doing.

And I don't try to bother him with other stuff unless it's serious. So they can't diagnose my cousin David with what's wrong with him. I said fuck it. I'm in Nashville on a trip, on the motorcycle trip, and he's getting fucked up. I call Gary, my assistant, and I said, send David's blood work to Gary right now. Thirty minutes later, okay? Now he's already been to the doctor in Maine, and I flew him to the Mayo Clinic. Nobody has an answer what's wrong with this fucking guy. Gary calls me back.

We're at a bar in Nashville. Yeah. Right, Washington's got, Gary calls me back in 30 minutes and says, he's got Lyme disease. Really? Yeah. Motherfucker. Gary says, sends a bunch of stuff out for him to take,

three days fucking later, David's better on the mend. Yeah. Wow, man. That's a fucking true story. Jesus Christ. I need to talk to Gary, because I've had so many like health issues that like, I train all the mend. Yeah. Wow, man. That's a fucking true story. Jesus Christ. I need to talk to Gary because I've had so many like health issues that like I train all the time.

I do 99% of all this stuff you're talking about and then there's like something missing. I could tell you so many stories about big celebrities that you know. I won't. There's fucking hippo laws and shit that, you know, with Gary. Tell you about me and tell you about my cousin,

you know, people that I know, whatever my mother-in-law, I could go on for, you don't have enough fucking film in your camera for me to tell you what this guy has done in the last two years and what I've seen him do to people and how he's changed people's lives with crazy fucked up shit. That's incredible.

What a change. I'm no fucking idiot. You know what I mean? I'm not like some sucker that's spending a bunch of money. Numbers don't lie. If you just take, you know, you know, you say oh well if you did this you did that Just take my fucking blood work and look at my blood work two years ago when I met him and look at my blood work now Right and all the medicine and bullshit that I was taking every day that made me feel like shit right down to the testosterone That most of the places in the fucking United States

do anyway there's some testosterone clinic anywhere in the fucking world I was doing it here for years and I felt like shit Gary even tweaked my testosterone and and and got me on the right levels and all that shit. This fixed everything. Yeah. Yeah. Being able to handle the stresses of your day, the stress of exercise, and being able to stick to your nutrition plan takes good rest and good quality sleep the night before.

And if your mouth is opening during sleep or if you're snoring, well, your sleep quality is compromised. That's why we partnered with the best mouth tape in the game, hostage tape. If you have a beard, it's gonna stay on. If you have a CPAP, it's gonna stay on. This tape is not gonna fall off your mouth

like most other tapes do when you're asleep. And to enhance the way you breathe through your nose, they also have no strips. Head over to hostagetape.com slash powerproject where you can get a three month supply of hostage tape for only 65 cents a night. On top of that, you're gonna receive a free pack of no strips as well as a bedside tin.

Again, that's at hostagetape.com slash power project. Links in the description as well as the podcast show notes. Can we ask you a little bit about the UFC? Yeah. So I wanted to ask you about, because interesting you guys recently switched over, you got rid of USADA, that seemed to be like a thorn in your guys side.

Yep. What was the purpose of getting rid of it? I think a few of the other major sports are getting rid of USADA too now. Yeah, it just, the relationship wasn't working out. And you'd have to talk to my guys that actually handle that. You know, Novitsky is the guy. Yeah, I know Jeff. Yeah, I've talked to him before.

Jeff and Hunter Campbell, who's one of the lawyers here, handle the whole drug thing. Those guys know more about that shit than I do. When we got into the anti-doping business and we had USADA come in, it was the greatest fucking day of my life because it took all that shit out of my hand. I didn't have to deal with that bullshit anymore. Do you think the testing is too stringent? Because I know there's a lot of things that people can use to recover and get better peptides and all sorts of things.

No, I don't think it's too stringent. I think that obviously testing has gotten to a level now where if you end up with a tainted fucking supplement, you know, like John John's picograms or whatever it is fucking supplement, you know, with like the John John pico grams, whatever it is. Yeah, you're fucked, you know. But it's more about I think what what our team was worried about their unwillingness to work with certain situations of to really dive in and investigate if somebody's really trying to fucking cheat or if somebody just pops for tainted supplement and things that can happen like that.

Yeah. This is a we have the best drug testing policy in all sports. I mean, we literally don't fuck around at all. When you think about where we were at the point in time when we decided to implement this program, we're sitting there and we're like, so we're going to spend $5 million a year to basically fuck up the sport. This is going to hurt really fucking bad before it gets better. But at the end of the day, to really have, first of all, it's a combat sport.

You shouldn't be fucking cheating and using performance enhancing drugs. Number one. Number two, if we do this the right way and make this as hard fucking core as possible, it will completely clean up the sport, which will increase the longevity of the athletes mentally and physically and all the things. I mean, bigger, stronger, faster. You basically laid it out. Using performance-enhancing drugs also has mental health issues that come into play when you're on steroids. It's like some of these bodybuilders, right? It's basically like anorexia.

You're never big enough. Body image problems. Yeah, 100%. I mean, there's so many issues that go along with performance enhancing drugs. Yeah. So you don't think we'll see like in the future people being able to, you know, because we have guys now that are fighting later than ever, you know, older than ever. You know, you don't think that they'll allow them to do testosterone in the future and

things like that. It's that's pretty much gone. And you don't want that. No, no, not at all. Listen, when you retire, when you're not playing fucking sports and you're not competing against other people, knock yourself out.

Do what you want. Do what the hell you want, you know what I mean? I actually agree with you that not all steroids are bad and they get a bad rap and shit like that. But the problem is, is that when you start, it's like anything else, like these people that fuck with their face, right? You fucking tweak your face one thing, it's like, that's not how you last fucking rodeo.

You know what I mean? It's like, oh shit, now this looks weird, now that looks weird. Then they end up looking like fucking monsters. You know what I mean? All these things that you fucking do, there's always another level. I was watching a video the other day and this guy, Brian Johnson, who's trying to live to be a thousand, looks like a vampire, was watching your video and critiquing it

and he was reading this quote and he goes, ah, that's way too long to have on the wall, blah, blah. And then when I read it, I go, what a pussy that guy is. Like this is what that guy should be promoting, not like. But this is the truth. He's like, ah, that's way too long of a quote. It should just say, have a nice day. You're like, how's that gonna get, we're gonna end up like you, you know? Like the truth. He's like, oh, that's way too long of a quote. It should just say, have a nice day. You're like, how's that gonna get,

we're gonna end up like you, you know? Like the guy. You're absolutely right. Listen, if that doesn't resonate with you, you're not that guy. Yeah. You're not that fucking guy if that doesn't resonate with you.

It's like, I always talk about, I don't wanna fuck up his business, but you know these guys that teach you how to be rich and how to be successful? So when I was a kid, I used to fucking, I didn't have a car, I rode a bike to do all the things that I used to do. I used to teach these classes and I bought Tony Robbins tapes and they're great. They got good stuff on them. I listened to them one time.

One fucking time. Took the knowledge from it. If you're on like your fucking 43rd Tony Robbins seminar, you're not the guy. You're trying to get a fucking job. I run into a lot of people there like, I read that book, I read that book. I'm like, but you're not acting on any of the things you've read. So one time you take that knowledge from somebody that has, you know, I'm trying to think of what his first fucking tape series was, but

Awaken the Giant Within or something like that. It was fucking great. Tons of great information on it. Heard it one time. That's all I needed. And I was on my way. And I think the way he got famous is from inspiring people, which is weird because like, what do you even do? Like with Tony Robbs, I because like, what do you even do? Like with Tony Robbs, I'm like, what do you even do? You just fire people up.

Tony's brilliant. Yeah, no, he's great. Tony is brilliant. Tony, the shit that he teaches you is legit. That's amazing. If you apply it, you only need to hear that shit one fucking time. And then move on.

I don't need to go to fucking 53 seminars to hear it. I hear it once, got it, get it, I'm on it, and you go. Yeah. You seem like you're really happy, but I don't know, maybe you've always been happy, but have people noticed changes in you that you're happier, you're smiling more? Well, it's not even that I'm happier.

It's a different energy level now. You know what I mean? I was like this when I was fucking in my 30s and early 40s. Then as I started to get into my mid 40s and into my 50s, I was falling asleep in the middle of meetings. I felt like shit, you know. And then, you know, you start to feel like,

okay, this must be what it feels like to get older. This must be what happened. Because you've seen it happen to other people in your life that got older. Yeah. Do you still get mad? Do you still get frustrated? You seem pretty calm. Yeah, I'm definitely more mellow.

I think that comes with age and experience and success. You start to chill out. You're not a fucking maniac like you were 25 years ago. Thank God. But that was fun too. I mean, in building the business, I like conflict. I don't run from conflict. I run into conflict.

I like conflict. I'm in the conflict business. I run into conflict. I like conflict. I'm in the conflict business. That's what we fucking do. It's almost a lot more fun when you have people to compete with every day. When you actually have a competitor. So I don't compete with any combat sports people. Everybody out there that's doing combat sports people. Those guys, everybody out there that's doing combat sports are not now competitions to me are the NFL movies, things that I have to compete with on Saturdays, right? You have to take your wife out to dinner on fucking Saturday, whatever it is. Those are the things that I compete with now. So I try to figure out ways to how can I get you home on Saturday, every fucking Saturday, you know, to watch the fights.

And part of that is delivering a good product. Like in the boxing business, many years I was a boxing fan and I would turn the TV off on Saturday night and go, motherfucker, they got me again. I stayed home and wasted a night, spent fucking 60 bucks and this thing sucked. That's what I don't ever want people to feel when they watch my product.

You know, I want them to have such a great experience, whether it's live, at home or in a bar, that that's where they want to be on fucking Saturday. You guys had that UFC 300 card and a lot of people were online, were barking at it, it was like, oh, it's not going to be that good. And it ends up being the best show you ever put on, I think. You know, it was fantastic. And then the one just the other night was phenomenal we yeah I agree

and you know what you know what you know is beautiful is that the experts the goofballs that are online that are paid to talk about this stuff when I tell you that these fucking people know nothing about this sport they literally know nothing about the business side yeah they know less than nothing about the business side of this. But just the fight side of it. They know nothing. There was a guy going, how about we had some people that ran this business that actually knew the sport? Are you out of your fucking mind? Some fucking lunatic. Some guy who's trying to get people to watch. Trying to get clout. 100%. Yeah, that's that's kind of what these people

literally that then that's the thing that you have to understand. Like when we're talking about the Gary Brekka side, these people who are paid to cover the sport, absolutely know nothing about the sport. These people that when we're talking about Gary Brekka, listen, I've been experiencing this for two fucking years. And other people that I care about that I've brought into this that have experienced it and it is you do a lot of things that are just really interesting like Everybody was all over Bud Light. They lost 30 billion dollars and you're like get signing back up with them

You know, I think that um, just takes a lot of courage. Well, I have that experience too. Let's just say this I've experienced other beer companies. Yeah. So if you want to talk about woke, let me tell you what, if you don't like woke, you should be drinking fucking gallons of Bud Light. You should have fucking drums of it in your fucking garage and drinking Bud Light as fast as you can. Because let me tell you what, the other beer companies out there, you don't know what woke is. Wow, wow. That's interesting, but nobody knows that.

I've had these experiences personally. Yeah. Yeah, so for me to say, yeah, I'm gonna go with blah, blah, ain't about fucking money. Everybody's like, oh, he sold out the money. Blah, blah, blah, blah. So they say, yeah. Yeah, trust me, I ain't selling out for anything.

Where did all this come from, you think? Like, is this from your parents or like, you always been this way, you always been this driven or? Yeah. I mean, when you think about it, I mean, in 16, we sold, and this was basically like a Microsoft of fighting, you know, there were a lot of people that retired in 16. And obviously I could, why the fuck would I want to retire? I love what I do.

Not only have I not retired, I started PowerSlam, me and the Fertittas on throw one, which is ridiculousness on MTV, Nitro Circus, SLS Gate League and Travis Patronas Nitro Cross. I own another company called Three Step that we're running right now. I started fucking Howler, had whiskey. I mean, I'm busier now than I've ever been in my entire life. I'm about to be 55 and, you know, we sold the UFC in 2016.

That's what I love to do. Have you always been that way? Like from the time you were a kid, you've always been driven like this? Yeah, I've always been, yeah. East Coast. Yeah, East Coast. I read a book, it was a book about MMA

and it talked about you meeting Andre Agassi like when you were young or something. Well, Andre grew up here. Yeah, and somebody said they were talking and they were like, who's the most interesting person you met? There was a party with a bunch of celebrities and you were there and nobody knew who you were. And he said the most interesting was this guy, Dana White.

And I just thought that was so cool. Like Andre Agassi was like, oh, this guy's the coolest guy. You know, like he, because you get it. You know? Thanks. I think that was called Blood in the Cage, that book. Really? Yeah. Do you ever read that? No, no. That book is great. No, I try to stay away from most MMA stuff. Yeah. I stay in my own little bubble here. It's a sports illustrated written book. It's good. And it talks all about the beginnings of the UFC. I stay in my own little bubble. I don't even like to hear any of the outside shit. Yeah. I just sort of do my thing here and focus. Lock all in my own little bubble. I don't even like to hear any of the outside shit. Yeah.

I just sort of do my thing here and Focus. block all that fucking white noise out. Awesome. Can you give us some of the habits that you've adopted that are in your day to day? You mentioned like cold plunge and like what are maybe some other things that you're doing on a daily basis?

Yeah, so my thing is right over there is the oxygen therapy thing. You know, Brekka believes that, you know, everybody's deficient in oxygen. So I'll tell you something else is crazy. So he believes that the absence of oxygen, what is it? No, the presence of oxygen is the absence of disease. Since I met this fucking dude, I haven't been sick one day. I haven't had a cold, a sniffle, fucking nothing. You know how many

people I interact with every Saturday, pictures and shaking hands and all this shit from all over the world. I haven't been sick in two years. Not the flu, not a cold, nothing. I do the cold plunge, red light therapy, the oxygen therapy and the PEMF pad I have in my bed. And I do this shit religiously.

And that's what- Multiple times a week, if not every day. Grounding pad, is that what that is? Yeah, exactly. And then I do my workout. So every day, my whole routine takes about two hours. And I eat keto. Sometimes I go off here and there and eat some stuff.

Like Lorenzo, I was in, Christmas I went to Italy and Lorenzo was like, don't be a fucking asshole and eat keto in Italy eat the fucking food which is another thing I I Ate what I wanted out there pizza bread all that shit. I lost five pounds and everybody says that it's fucking crazy Yeah, the best food in the world right tasting and you actually lose weight now So he pizzas out here you feel like you just fucking ate a pillow

You know what I mean, you feel like you just fucking ate a pillow. You know what I mean? And you feel like shit for three hours and it's fascinating. It's weird, man. There's a lot of weird shit going on right now. There's something wrong with the way we're eating. There's something wrong with the food. There is a lot of chemicals in the food

that are illegal in Canada, illegal in even Mexico. 100%. And we're putting all that stuff. And we actually make the versions for Canada here. So it's like we have it in our factories here, but we still put the red dye in there that gives kids autism and like all these other problems, you know, so if you think that this government gives a shit about you, you're out of your mind. That's why all these people that like, you know, talk about the government paying off their student loans, the government paying for them to live the government. That shit doesn't work. You know what I want? I want less government.

I want the government out of my fucking life, right? I'll pay my taxes, whatever, you know, stay out of my life. That's it. There's something wrong with our food. There's definitely something wrong with our health care. The list goes on and on. The other thing that you fucking worry about is the liberal side of it where they're talking about population control. When you have fucking people that start worrying about the population and that we're overpopulated, a red flag better pop up somewhere. Yeah, yeah.

Try to get rid of you. 100%. Yeah. A red flag better pop up somewhere. Yeah, yeah. They're trying to get rid of you. 100%. Yeah. 100%. Yeah, we're definitely too tethered to our food and too tethered to our pharmaceuticals. 100%. I agree. Yeah.

I'm in a great place in my life mentally, physically, and every other way. I love what I'm doing, the people that I'm doing with. I just sort of live in my own little bubble here and just do my thing. I don't give a... It was like when I was gonna go through COVID, right? And the way that the rest of the world, I was like, fuck you.

You guys go hide in your houses, do your thing, right? Cause this COVID thing doesn't fucking make... How about there's no more talk about COVID? No more talk about COVID. Wear the fucking mask. Wear all the deaths. Wear all the people that are fucking dying of COVID. What, it's just over?

It's done. It fucking disappeared. COVID's been around since the 70s, right? Yeah. This was a fucking organized, planned fucking... Oh, it was terrible. I thought what you did was amazing. Fighter Island, it just shifted. I thought we did was a fighter island

He just never made sense to me and I was like if this is that fucking bad. We're all dead anyway All right. Let me tell you where I'm not gonna die hiding in my house This is America motherfucker. We don't fucking roll over and quit and fucking go crow up on a ball and hide in our fucking houses We're gonna go through this we're gonna make it or not. Not to mention the fact that what I was staring down the barrel of was laying off 35% of my fucking team that helped me build this fucking company.

Uh-uh, this is a fucking battleship. And we get up and we go to war every fucking day and guess what's gonna happen? We're gonna power through this or we're all going down together. And you know what, my fucking whole team got up and we stormed the beach and we got through this motherfucker. I think you being in the shape that you're in

and all the stuff you're doing is like, it's one of the most inspirational things to guys like us, like our age. You know what I mean? Like you've become the guy that people look up to, which I think is really cool. You mentioned you hate sleep. Be cool if you could elaborate on that.

Yeah, so it's a fact. Like last night I had to go home at midnight because I'd been up for like fucking almost 48 hours, right? I'm like, I have to fucking sleep tonight. I got eight hours last night because I'd been up for like 48 hours, but I love my life so much. Like every minute of my life, I'm like,

I don't wanna go to fucking bed, right? I'm not gonna waste fucking time sleeping because I love everything that I'm doing. That's how fucking crazy I am about my life. Yeah, I love every minute of my life and I hate to sleep. It's incredible. Thank you so much for your time, appreciate it.

Thanks. Now a quick question on Bill Maher, you said you drive to work in the morning, but you don't drive home. I hate to sleep. It's incredible. Thank you so much for your time. Appreciate it. Thanks. Now a quick question on Bill Maher. You said you drive to work in the morning, but you don't drive home. We're so confused about it. I drive to work, but don't drive home? Yeah.

Yeah, so I got a bunch of cars in the garage downstairs. That's what we figured. That's what he said. So I got my cars that I drive and I have a car that I'm driven in. Gotcha. Yeah. And then someone's got to take the car back or something.

Right? Yeah, yeah. I got guys that fucking move cars around. That's what we figured. But we're just like, how does that work? So my two guys that drive me drive me home, or I'll go out at night and do what I do, and then they drive me home.

And then my guy who runs my house brings my other car to the house in the morning. This needs to be an Instagram. Before I wake up. An Instagram reel. That's amazing. That's even more inspirational. Yeah, as you get older too, I'm busy and shit.

So when we drive, I use the drive time to do a lot of phone shit. I'm on the phone a lot when we drive. So I'll bang out all my phone calls while we're driving and then go out, have dinner, and gamble and do all the shit that I do and then go home. Has the rest of the family made some adjustments with you? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

My kids, my son's here. He cold plunges every day and does the whole family does the routine now. Even my kids were young and my kids are fucking 21 and 22, my sons, and they do it, yeah. Cool. You love gambling, huh? What's Cool. You love gambling, huh? What's that?

You love gambling, huh? Oh yeah, oh, that's my, listen, I should probably get a different hobby like fucking bird watching or something, but yeah, gambling is my hobby, man, I love it. It's amazing. I love it. Cool, thank you so much, man, I really appreciate it.

Thank you, absolutely. Pleasure. Thanks. Good to see you, brother. Did you guys see the spa? No, I don't think we've seen everything. Come on, let me show you. We built this building in 2016, right?

And I just keep expanding my office. So is this part of your office? Huh? Is this part of your office? This is my office, yeah, this is all my office here. Meathead millionaire. Exactly. Yeah.

So this is my closet. So I basically built this fucking place. So I never have to. This is a closet. Yeah. Here's gambling from last night right here. Jesus. So I basically built this place

so I never have to leave, right? Anything I need is here. So when I pack to travel, got clothes, got all my shit here. Stats of money. Then in here. Yeah, that all my shit here. Then and here. Yeah, that's from last night. This is sick. This is my office.

This picture up here. Nothing incredible. Yeah, so this is an Iraqi. So Iraqi is this famous Japanese photographer and this is like his biggest, baddest piece. That's a real Japanese Yakuza. And the tattoos tell the story of what family he's from in the Yakuza.

So then, come in here. This is all my office. From here, all the way over that way is my office. This is where I do most of my meetings and shit like that in here. Very cool. Where do you have the cold plunge and the oxygen? That's where we're headed now.

And the Howler head is your company? Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah, I. So. And the Howler head is your company? Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. I started that during the pandemic, actually, while everybody was... Yeah, I've seen it. I just didn't know. I didn't know it was yours.

I didn't know it was... Yeah. You lost weight since that picture. Yeah. Oh, definitely. Definitely. 15 pounds, maybe. I love that.

Yeah, that's sick. I had that installed in my office after my New Year's Eve incident. Oh, shit. I swear to God, just every day when I came in here to say, remember, people are trying to fucking kill you right now. I love that. Well, and ultimately, too, it's you, right? Like, it's you that's trying to kill you sometimes.

Yeah, well, listen. The biggest fucking enemy sometimes. Self-sabotage. Well, you saw the FedEx thing the other day, right? Yeah, yeah. I mean, and people are on both sides of that thing. It's like, first of all, what we have mean, and people are on both sides of that thing. It's like, first of all, what we have to realize now,

different than when we grew up, there's cameras everywhere. So you're being watched 24 fucking times. The guy just chucking the package, right? And it doesn't have to be malicious or whatever, but you're being watched. So if you're drunk and you act like a fucking asshole, if you go out and do stupid shit, you say stupid shit, you you're being watched. So if you're drunk and you act like a fucking asshole, if you go out and do stupid shit, you say stupid shit, you're always being watched.

And then that video footage will end up somewhere and you're gonna be judged by different groups of people. So, you know, it is what it is. So there's the oxygen therapy right here. So what you do is you turn the oxygen on, it fills this bag up, and then you put the mask on, and you do your cardio with the oxygen. You go on there for what, 40 minutes?

Yeah, no, 10 minutes. 10 minutes of oxygen therapy, yep. 10 minutes, and yeah, that's that. That's cool. So you just stand in there? What do you do? No, you put the mask on. Oh, and you run, oh, and then?

Yeah, and you get on the treadmill and do your, you just do 10 minutes of oxygen therapy while you're doing cardio, you know, which opens up your lungs. Do you usually just walk or? Yeah, I walk, yeah. But you can run, you can do whatever you want. Gary and his whole crew, they do the fucking Aerodyne

on that thing for 10 minutes. Oh shit, the sprint? Oh wow. Maniac. He looks like he's in great shape too. Fuck the Aerodyne, I hate that fucking thing. Are you excited about that spear? I actually pulled that bike out of here.

You excited about the Sphere show you guys are having? Yeah. That's going to be sick, huh? I heard you talking about it. Brother, let me tell you what. I'm going to put on a fucking show. Yeah, you said you're going to blow away. That will never be replicated again.

That's great. And even especially for one night, because when you think about what it costs to go in and do these events, right? Your two goes in there and they do 40 something nights. So that cost is amortized across 40 events. I'm going in one fucking night, one and done. The amount of money that this cost to put this event on

and this thing's gonna be a love letter to Mexicans. If you are Mexican, you better be in that fucking building or at least watch it because it's gonna be sick. Yeah, it's badass. I have a lot of respect for Mexican fighters. Yeah, I can't wait to see it. And the culture. When is that one?

September first we get some time. You know, you don't know who's fighting yet, right? That's too far away. Yeah, we're working on that shit right now So then I when I really started to get into the Gary Breaks shit I expanded my office into here built this whole spa in here this I literally just finished this just got done So it doesn't have furniture or anything in it yet But this is the red light therapy bed you do 20 minutes in this 10 minutes of oxygen therapy 30 minutes on the PEMF pad 3 minutes of cold plunge and then that's it You do that every morning and you have this at your house. You have this here You have a bunch of spots this gets rid of all the info my inflammation markers are a fucking zero

Really? It's where all the inflammation in your body from the whole protocol. Yeah. From doing the whole thing. Zero inflammation in my body. So you know- That's what I need. I had like a lot of chronic pain and I had my head shirt placed and- Well you know when you fly too?

Yeah. And you feel all fucking stiff or you eat like food that has a bunch of bad shit in it and it makes you feel- Yeah. You never have that feeling. Yeah. Fucking gets rid of all that shit in your body. It's incredible.

Yeah. And this one here is, this is the best one on the market. You don't need goggles with this. You actually go in there with no goggles. And Gary says it's good for your eye. Rogan absolutely believes that this has helped his eyesight. Yeah.

I don't wear glasses. I need that too. My eyesight's going. Yeah, my eyes are perfect, man. That's great. Yeah. You think Tyson's gonna win? I hope so.

I hope so too. I hope so too. I think everybody's kind of cheering for him. No doubt about it. He looks like he's... Tyson is so beloved, you know what I mean? I know, he's on TV. You don't wanna see this.

He's so fucking awesome. This fucking dick beat Tyson, you know what I mean? Yeah, right. Well, he's 60 fucking years old too, you know? When they fight, he'll be 58. Yep. This is the PMF pad. I just have one in here just in case,

but this is in my bed at home. You turn the machine on and you set the settings and it goes for 30 minutes you sleep and basically alkalines your body and alkaline water is bullshit, I'm sure you know that. Yeah, yeah. This is a way to get like grounded. 100%.

Go outside, barefoot. And sleep on that. Oh, there we go. The masterpiece. Oh wow, that's a sick one. Oh yeah. That'll get you. I do three minutes at 50.

And then a lot of people do sauna, I do the steam. I like the steam clears out. Especially before I do the oxygen therapy. I want to have a serious conversation with you about your balls. And I'm being serious here. On this podcast, we talked about a lot of things to help men improve the health of their penis, because it's important.

And your balls have very thin skin. This is true. You can touch them right now, and you know it's pretty thin. Women do a lot of things to take care of their vaginal health, and men, we don't really think about the things that we put right directly on our balls, like our boxers. A lot of popular brands out there have chemicals that are literally touching your balls. Think about this, when you're in the gym sweating, when you're at work sitting, when you're doing

all these things, these things could be permeating into your scrotum. Things like BPA, phthalates, pesticides, incesticides, toxic dyes, toxic fertilizers, formaldehyde, all of which could lead to and could exacerbate lower testosterone, erectile dysfunction, and potential infertility.

Links in the description, as well as the podcast show notes. This is so wild. It's like nicer than any gym, and it's just your fucking office. Right? This is my philosophy on offices. And me and Ari disagreed when we first started doing this, but this is where you spend fucking 60% of your life.

Right. Is at the office. So you set yourself up to not fail. There's no excuses. Right. I'm too fucking busy on this. So I'll be in here doing my shit. People coming in here through my whole workout

telling me, ah, this fucking da da da da da, talking to me about whatever and stop your workout for a few minutes, deal with your business, do what you have to do, and then get back into it. There's no fucking excuse. It allows you to go all day long. 100%.

Yeah, I call it microdosing. You microdose exercise into your day to day. 100%. Listen, I'm obviously very lucky that I have thedose exercise into your day to day. 100%. Listen, I'm obviously very lucky that I have the means to do this at this point in my life, but if I didn't, what the fuck have I been working my whole life for if I can't take care of myself now? There's other ways, though,

to get a lot of these things going, though, too. I mean, even something as simple as someone going outside and going on a walk. I think people are always thinking about consuming energy. They're thinking about energy drinks, but you can make your own energy. You'll see my staff walking circles around the parking lot out here. They do.

Come here, I'll show you the last piece of the puzzle right here. This is my kitchen. Pocket Fridays. That's it. Oh yeah. So this is the last piece of the puzzle. Have you tried Piedmontese beef before?

What's that? Piedmontese beef before? What's that? Piedmontese beef, Piedmontese, it's grass fed, grass finished, the beef is leaner than any meat on the plant. No, and more tender. The cows are fucking jacked. They're jacked cows.

I'll show you. Yeah, see if you can find a picture. We gotta show it to my chef. It's really good, I'll send it to you. We'll send you some meat. These two chefs cook better keto food than you'll ever have anywhere, man. This is a Piedmontese bull

That's what it looks like. It's a jackfuck And so the way a fillet from them has like two or three grams of fat as opposed to like 10 It's incredible. We got every bodybuilder and every like top fitness guy eating this beef and and we're not even involved in they just They just send us free meat because we talk about like sort of like Gary Brekha, right? We talk about it so much. They love us So they send us free shit, but if you want us to of like Gary Brekker. We talk about it so much they love us, so they send us free shit. But if you want us to send you some, we'll send it out to these guys.

Yeah, when we first got involved with them, they did like 40. Gary doesn't send me free shit, I got to free that to you. I'll send you free shit. He keeps charging you more. Yeah, we'll send you some meat. So when you look at the way that I've set this thing up,

there's no fucking excuses. Right. Oh, is it working? I just, I fucking hate excuses. So I make sure that I designed my life so there's no fucking excuse, period. Incredible. You know what the other thing is too

when we're talking about the people online that are whatever, I think that everybody has their own philosophies and the things that they believe. You know, it's like religion and lots of other things in life. And I think that a lot of people have to, first of all, a lot of people don't have information. If you were given the information, right, and you had the ability to go through it

and then start to experience it, you would change your mind on certain things. But it's like sitting down and having an argument. You guys are carnivore and believe in me, which I do too. Yeah. As opposed to talking to a vegan. Yeah. And a vegan will argue with you about it.

You'll have all their narratives all set up. Nina, Nina drama. Yeah. The influencer that does stuff with us. I love her to death and whatever. She's a vegan and I'm like, you're nuts. Yeah. And she thinks I'm nuts. And, you know, so you're always going to have people who have different, she's a vegan. And I'm like, you're nuts. And she thinks I'm nuts.

And you know, so you're always gonna have people who have different opinions on things and you have to find out what works for you. It's like, I didn't believe in any of this shit. And now I'm like, I am a fucking believer. It's almost like a, it's become like almost a religion to me. I'm not a religious person, but this is like my religion. The new information, you gotta give it grace

and some space and some time and think about it and then eventually you're like oh well let me just try it let me stop being so stubborn and just give it a shot. 100% and it's about what works for you. Yeah well we always say like if you did everything Gary says it's gonna work do we care if it's scientifically backed? I don't give a fuck like I don't care you know if Lane Norton Lane Norton you called him a juicehead because he was saying he was like talking shit like that Online and I think he went on his uh, Twitter and killed what's fascinating about that guy is You take all this time out of your day to go shit on somebody else who's actually helping lots of people

That's what I say. Where are the fucking testimonials of the people you're helping who are you helping? Show us what you've done. Show us some of the, you know, I get it. Some of these doctors get fucking jealous. They went to school for all these years and did all the shit. And Gary Brekker is coming in and this guy's fucking blown up overnight. Yeah. And he's killing it. He's doing very well. And all the most powerful, rich, famous people are working with him. Right? So I could see the jealousy side of it But to go out of your way and consistently shit on somebody Numbers don't fucking lie. I run a business. Yeah

numbers don't lie Everything in my life including all my numbers on my blood and everything are the best they've ever been and I'm 55-fucking-years old are the best they've ever been and I'm 55 fucking years old How can you poke holes in anything? I can't dispute that yeah in any of it it is what it is and it's not like it's just me it's the most it's the people who have It's one thing if you're like You're like a preacher And you go in and you're selling eternal life

To old people that are about to fucking die and you're taking all their money. You're dealing with really intelligent people who are very successful, who have a shitload of money and could do this shit with anybody. And they're doing with Gary Brekka consistently. Why is that? You think this information is going to get censored? This kind of information?

It's without a fucking. I mean, it's happening already. The thing with Peloton and of information. It's without a fucking happening already. The thing with Peloton and all that, right? Without a fucking Peloton thing. Yeah, he checked out all his Peloton bikes or whatever. Yeah. Well, the Peloton thing is what I can't stand is that these sponsors have become so they think they've become so fucking powerful that they can tell people how to run their business

Live their life vote whatever fuck you Fuck you. You can take all your money and shove it up your fucking ass and and and now the beautiful thing about social media is You have a voice and you can go out fucking you know, like the pel the Peloton thing. Last thing I ever want to do is cancel anybody. I don't believe in canceling. But you and that guy just stepped down from Peloton. Wow. Yeah. You were trying to censor a fucking Kennedy who's actually a Democrat. Yeah. And you were trying to fuck with

Theo Vonn and what he does for a living because you were a sponsor of the podcast. You know what I mean? If you want to be a sponsor, you sponsored Theo Vaughan for a reason. You became a sponsor for a reason. Your people and marketing team thought that he was the right place for you to advertise. Now you think that you have the right to call him and censor him and tell him who he can't and a Kennedy and a Democrat

I mean conservatively. Yeah, right, but you're trying to censor a fucking Kennedy. Is that why you fuck are you is that why you walk up on how we may sell fucking stationary bikes for a living you fucking clown. Yeah. You know what I mean? Who the fuck do you think you walked off of Howie Mandel because he was fucking. No, no, no. I was I was that a joke. So does nobody know I did the sage steel podcast. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, Joe Roby Mandel owns the facility, right? It's an incredible place.

Yeah. So the thing's over. Howie Mandel walks into the podcast after says I do 100 podcasts here a week. I've never sat through one and listened. I sat through your whole interview You know, you're incredible. I love what you stand for this that so me and him start talking we hit it off So he's like look, can I show you around the place? So we're walking around he's involved in all kinds of really cool shit social media stuff and whatever and he says would you do me a favor?

I'm like, yeah, would you come in, sit down on my podcast and walk out? He goes, it'll be the most fucking viral thing up. I said, I would be honored to walk out of your podcast. I'm so fucking tired of doing podcasts. It was amazing. So, yeah. So then he's like, take this to the grave. Don't say anything.

So I'm out with the note voice and we're doing like this monkey bomb fucking thing. The whole crowd starts chanting, fuckie mandel fuck I go whoa Time out. Yeah, sorry how he had to blow that I said how we mandel is one of the greatest dudes ever Yeah, how he's awesome. That's great. Yeah, so that's funny though. That's good Yeah, got me got everybody well, and my phone was blowing up all the MMA people started making videos But I watch all the MMA. Well, I was like, oh shit,

because we have you, we just booked you. Yeah. We just booked an interview with him. Like, what the fuck's going to happen now? He says no more podcasts ever. Yeah, he's going to walk out on us and say, fuck dude. I know, yeah, I know. Yeah, Howie Meddow is a great dude.

I have nothing bad to say about Howie Meddow. That's great. That's actually a great gimmick that he did though. I was thinking it might have been something like that where it's like, there's fucking wrong. Awesome. Well, thank you so much. My pleasure boys. Yeah, absolutely. Yes. Thank you. Thanks, man. Congrats on all your success. We got nothing compared to you.

No, we're getting there. What was bigger, faster, stronger? Like, did you expect it to blow up the way that it did? Not really. I didn't. I know, you're never sure. You know? You never know. I mean, everybody I know watched that thing. It got in the Sundance. Did you do really well on it?

It obviously was your. Dude, money-wise, documentaries are the worst thing to be into. Really? Yeah. So what happens is you spend a bunch of money making the documentary. And then, like, we went to Sundance and we sold it. I didn't make a dime off Bigger Stronger Faster.

What? Yeah, not a dime. That's how things work. You get screwed. Yeah, that business is fascinating. There's ways to make money off of it. But it was my first film, and I didn't really know what I was doing.

And so it's like, I got paid to make the film. Like, every day that I was working on a film, I got paid. But I raised a bunch of money. So we raised like, it was $1.5 million budget. I raised the money, went out and filmed everything. And then when you sell it back at Sundance, I think we sold it for like $650. And then you got to recoup money. And the problem, the real problem why I didn't make a lot of money is ESPN had a deal in

place to buy it three years down the road after it's already been out in the theaters and already been out everywhere and they had a deal to buy it and they backed out because they thought that the NFL and Major League Baseball were going to be upset about it. And so they backed out of the deal last minute and then it screwed that ESPN deal and then because I would have ended up making money because it would have turned very profitable at that point but it just just wasn't know, so you get you get screwed basically. That's fucking fascinating. I would I got to start a lot of lights. Why just on interview with Josh Brolin. Yeah,

where he I know Josh pretty well. Yeah, me too. He's great. So he was saying that he made $30,000 for no country for really Wow and going coming out of that movie was fucking broke and had no money. And trying to think what he was on drugs to at that point he was he was like messed up was he yeah, Coming out of that movie was fucking broke and had no money and Trying to think well he was on drugs too at that point. He was he was like messed up was he yeah I didn't know that I met Josh in I could talk about it cuz he talks about it I was in LA and I was going to Alcoholics Anonymous going to a because I just got over my opioid thing and Josh, you know LA Josh Brolin's in your fucking AA meeting.

So you're like, oh, that's fucking cool. So I started talking to him one day and I told him about, he's like, oh, what do you do? And I said, I make documentaries. And I told him about Bigger Stronger Faster. He went home and watched it with his wife and we became like really good friends after that. Cause he's had so many fucking questions.

He's amazing, yeah. Great dude. Well, I walked him through the water fast. He did the water fast, got him into cold plunging. Yeah. Got him into all that shit. He's an amazing guy. I really, really, really like him.

I like him too. Do your guys over here have a blender? Yeah. I would love for them to blend you up that total carnivore steak shake. You'd love it. 225. I eat it too.

All right. Let's go. Let's go give it to him. Let's see his taste test. Hey, Chef. Do me a favor. This is his carnivore protein. Hey, chef. Yes. Do me a favor. This is his, uh, his carnivore protein powder.

All right. What's fat Elvis? Green power. I guess, uh... You can mix it with any kind of like milk, like any type of milk that he knows. I want to keep it keto, so... Yeah, there you go. Keep it keto.

Fat Elvis? Could use a little heavy cream or something if you're into some of that. What do you use for the almond milk? Yeah, almond milk, coconut. Coconut would probably taste really good. Yeah, we'll do coconut. You got coconut water, yeah? I do, yeah.

Yeah, let's do that. Do like a double scoop would probably be good. Fat Elvis, I like that. Banana peanut butter. You want just coconut water or you want some coconut milk? Coconut milk also? Both? Is that what you meant, coconut milk? Then do the coconut milk instead. That's going to taste amazing. That's going to taste really good. And this you can use, or. Yeah. That's gonna taste amazing. Huh? That's gonna taste really good.

And this you can use, or you can give it to your sons too, but this you can use for pushups and shit too. So it's not really just- Yeah, it's more pliable than the other one. I never really intended it to be like a thing that people max out with, but everyone gets so excited because it does allow you to handle more weight. But it's for reps and sets and all that stuff too,

and it will take a lot of pressure off the shoulder. Yeah, my oldest son's a meathead. I'll give it to him. Yeah. Oh, good. How old is he? 22. 22.

Wow. They'll both be 22 and 23 this summer. Yeah. I have a, a 20 year old son and a 16 year old daughter. Oh, do you really? Yeah. It's wild. Same as me then.

I got, it's wild having like a 21, 22 and a 17 year old daughter. Yeah. They're full on regular people. It's weird. It's fucking weird, right? Yeah My my boys are doing their thing now. Yeah, that's my old day Anything that's what it graduates next week from USD. Yeah, okay, and then what is he doing that? We take all down there for four years. Yeah, and now

He's taking off right after graduation. I'm in his buddies they all surf. My daughter surfs, all my kids surf, snowboard and all that shit. So he's going down to Bali. They're going all through all the different, Bali, Singapore, fucking Hong Kong and surfing. All those different destinations for like eight weeks. Then he's gonna come back here and go to work. And then he's gonna go to grad school.

Well, surfing seems impossible. I've never tried it. Yeah. It seems really hard. What's he want to major in? Does he know what he wants to do? Business and finance. Is he gonna follow in your footsteps or he doesn't know?

He doesn't know. He's definitely not gonna do this. Neither of my kids are gonna do this. My other son, my younger son, he's here right now. He's working over at Throw One right now. He just did a deal with Dark Horse Comics. He came up with an anime series and they fucking took it. That's awesome.

Yeah. The anime business is fucking huge. Yeah, it's gigantic. Huge. Keto. Yeah, keto. So everybody that drinks this, they think because it has like organs in it, that it's going to taste like that, but it doesn't taste anything like that. You can't tell that's the kind of nice thing, you know?

All right. What do you got for distribution right now? Mainly just sell online. Yeah? Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. We started, my wife and I started this company about three or four years ago

And we have that company for maybe like 10 15 years or so yeah, you sent me that over 10 years. Yeah long time ago Thank you sir get the results here So if it's good or not very good It's great with the coconut too. I don't even think I've ever tried it with coconut. So that's probably a good combo. Now it's going to be even more jacked. Especially for keto.

There we go. What do you usually eat in a day? You keep things pretty keto, you eat mainly meat and stuff? Yeah, so these guys make anything fucking keto. Right? go. What do you usually eat in a day? You keep things pretty keto, you eat mainly meat and stuff? These guys make anything fucking keto, right? So here's keto blueberry bread, some carne asada in there. I got the quest chips too. The quest. Oh yeah, we got everything fucking keto here and any of this shit they can do chopped Italian sub, buffalo chicken wraps, all that shit's keto. Oh, that's awesome

Mm-hmm like all these people fucking sick, dude my other executives eating here doing some of my friends like we work out in the morning me and some of my friends like I Got these pictures. Those are my old partners and for Tita Brothers. These are my new partners amazing and Yeah, no, I used to partners. Amazing. And yeah, no. I used to be with William Morris. Yeah, a long time ago. Actually, Ari, I guess, my agent told me, I met Ari once at a UFC.

I was at the Nate Diaz, Conor McGregor II UFC, and I met Ari once, but somebody told me that they watched a trailer for my movie in a meeting, and Ari said, sign that guy. The next day I was at William at William Morris and they signed me and I was there for a couple of years. Ari's a health addict. Yeah. And then when I met him, I met him, so I did a movie, my second movie I did is called Trophy Kids with Peter Berg. He was on HBO. That's his boy. And Pete Berg is awesome. Pete Berg is his boy. Those two grew up together. I love Pete. They went to college together and were roommates.

Yeah, so they were together so that Pete introduced me to him. Totally makes sense. Kind of like. But downstairs we have a restaurant for the employees and the fighters. There's a full restaurant downstairs for employees and fighters.

Fucking awesome what you built. Incredible. Yeah, here, come here with me. For years on this podcast, we've been talking about the benefit of barefoot shoes. And these are the shoes I used to use back in like 2017, 2018, my old Metcons. They are flat, but they're not very wide and they're very stiff and they don't move. That's why we've been partnering with and we've been using Vivo barefoot shoes.

These are the Modus Strength shoe because not only are they wide, I have wide ass feet and so do we here on the podcast, especially as our feet have gotten stronger, but they're flexible. So when you're doing certain movements, like let's say you're doing jumping or you're doing split squats or you're doing movements where your toes need to flex and move, your feet are able to do that and perform in this shoe allowing them to get stronger over time and obviously they're flexible. So your foot's allowed to be a foot and And when you're doing all types of exercise,

your feet will get stronger, improving your ability to move. Andrew, how can they get the hands on these?

50 years old jumping out of my seat, watching these fights, like what the fuck? Fucking crazy. 300 was so fucking fucking badass. We just went to St. Louis. Fucking St. Louis felt like a pay per view. It was fucking incredible too. That card was incredible.

Like there's so many knockouts. I'm like, did everybody get knocked out on that card? We're going left here. This is pretty wild. So let me tell you the story about this. So you know I gamble like a motherfucker for years. I've been gambling fucking hardcore for like 25 years. So Caesar's Palace is such a great casino to their players.

So every year when you play, they have this ballroom that's fucking massive, like bigger than this area here, what's up boys? And every Christmas if you're a player, you can go there and take whatever you want. They got snowmobiles, motorcycles, fucking electronic shit, all this stuff, and you can go literally shop and never do it, right?

So they call me and they're like, you never take advantage of any of the shit and this and that and then you know they came over here one day and they brought me on a fucking palette they brought me the The 50 cal, you know the 50 cal of bullets are like this big and they brought me a palette of Ammunition. Oh, those bullets are like seven dollars each or something like that. Maybe twelve dollars I don't remember what they are, but they do shit like that. So I'm gonna see I said I'm gonna see how good these motherfuckers really are. I said, you know what I want?

I want the Joe Louis statue that's in the sports book. Have you ever seen it? It's marble. It's Joe Louis. It's marble. It's iconic at Caesar's Palace. They're like dead silent on the other end of the phone. They said, we'll call you back.

They call us back, and they're like, listen, we kicked it around. We can't give you that. It's an iconic piece. Joe Louis used to work there. When you would show up at Caesar's Palace, the phone is that we'll call you back. They call us back and they're like, listen, we kicked it around. We can't give you that it's it's it's an iconic piece. You know, Joe Lewis used to work there. When you would show up at Caesar's Palace back in the day, Joe Lewis would greet you at the door. Yeah,

it was incredible what they did for Joe Lewis. They said, so here's what we're gonna do. The guy who made it is dead. He's from China. His son, we're gonna fly him out. They shut down the fucking sportsbook, put a big fly him out. They shut down the fucking sports book, put a big thing around it, and his son made me this. And this is better. Better than the fucking original. And they pulled the picture off the wall

of Joe Louis and Ali and gave me that too. So I put this down here in the lobby. It's fucking incredible, right? Yeah. It's incredible. Can't ever think of Joe Louis without thinking of that scene from Coming to America. He whooped Joe Louis' ass.

Got a story down here and everything, huh? Rocky Marciano. This is sick. The Chuck Liddell room. Yeah, so everybody who had an impact on combat sports, Ramon Decker is the greatest movie tie fighter of all time, Kale Sanderson, the wrestler, all these people who had a massive impact on,

has a room here. There's a Bruce Lee room, there's a Mike Tyson room, and the list goes on and on. So this is the restaurant. This is where the fighters and the employees eat. When you put all the pieces together of how this whole thing happened, it's so fucking crazy like it was meant to be.

Yeah. None of it really makes any sense, right? It's like... It doesn't and it does, you know what I mean? Yeah. So all the employees, there's cabanas out here, we can have meetings and have lunch and shit like this. This is an amphitheater that we have out here. This is where we have a lot of the employee meetings. We do concerts out here for the employees. This is incredible right here. And then this here is the PI. Oh this is the PI right here? Yeah. Oh wow okay. Oh awesome. Is the apex part of this thing or is that? Apex is right across the street. Oh yeah. So if you're under

contract with us this all this is free you can come here for free training we have free free physical therapy the supplements are free. Food is free. Everything's free. It's amazing, man. What's up, buddy? Hi, guys. How are you? What's up, buddy? Hi.

This is one of those. So let's say we have a fight in Mexico City or Denver, Colorado. You come in here and do your cardio. You adjust the room to the altitude. And it's altitude training in there so fighters can get ready for altitude. That's nice.

That's really cool. There's no stone unturned in this whole operation. No, no. And then we have the best physical therapists in the country. All the other athletes from other sports come here for our physical therapy. Really? Yeah. The Raiders in Slovenia?

Everybody, everybody. Oh, people getting Raiders and stuff? Everybody. Everybody. Oh, people getting worked on and stuff. Cool. Yeah. What an incredible facility, man. Today's Monday. We have a fight. Wait, what's that? Wednesday. Wednesday. Mason-Thowers. So in the next couple of days, this will be packed because we have a fight on Saturday at the Apex. What's up, buddy? So this is actually an underwater treadmill. So if you're recovering from knee surgery or hip surgery or some shit like that, it actually has

cameras underwater and they watch how you run in here. And they can they can assess your your recovery and figure out what you need to do as far as training goes and all that shit and all that shit. And all that shit. So you can just run on here and it takes like half your weight. Exactly. This is how you start getting your knee rehabbed and better. That's what I need to run in.

It's amazing. And then these are cold plunge and jacuzzis here. How is Gary with microplastics and all that other stuff, does he give you protocols to try to stay away from shit like that too? Not really. I mean, listen, it depends on how deep you want to dive. You can go completely nuts. This guy is, and the other thing about him

is he practices what he preaches. He does all this shit. His fucking house, and he's got like the whole top floor, his condo in Miami, and all that equipment is in there. He does all this shit every fucking day himself. And now that he's making more and more money, it keeps going to different levels. When you go in his house now,

the fucking equipment that this guy's got in there, it's fascinating. It's fucking fascinating. You get used to it, like being Dana White, or is it always kind of weird? I better be used to it. Yeah, no, it's all good. I literally couldn't be any fucking happier.

If you said, what would you do? What would you change in your life that would make you this much happier? I couldn't tell you one fucking thing. You couldn't figure it out. I honestly couldn't. And up here is all the striking, grappling, all that good shit.

All right, my friend, good to see you. So, rolling all over here with the cage. Two different cages to train in. The sickest facility I've ever been in. Like seriously, of like any kind, you know? Unbelievable. Thanks. Like I said, I used to work for WWE.

They had like a little gym in the, there's nothing like, nothing like this. Thanks. Nothing like this. So what we did was when we started to, you know, think about building this place, we literally went and looked at soccer facilities,

football facilities, baseball, and we literally took the best of everything they had to build this place. It shows, man. Thanks. It shows. Got a boardroom over here. There's so many quotes.

This is like a chill-out area for the fighters. Whole area for them to chill and hang out. You have like a favorite fighter, secret favorite fighter? You know, there's a lot of fighters that I've had great relationships with. You know, Conor's one of them. Ronda Rousey and many others. I know there's a lot of fighters that I've had great relationships with. Conor's one of them. Ronda Rousey and many others. Remember I told you me and the Fertitas bought Throw One? So we bought this company like two years ago.

They were based in California. We wanted to get them out of there for a lot of different reasons, but mostly to have them here in the day-to-day. So I built these offices like, these literally just got done. These guys moved in here like two weeks ago. So this is all throw one.

What was the, you know, the power slap thing? Power slaps over here too. Yeah, what was the, it's interesting, because I'm like, you obviously see something like really cool in it, and a lot of people don't get it. Didn't you think it was stupid originally, right? No, and I first saw it, I was like, this is fucking crazy.

And it's doing well? Question it. I'm like, this is fucking crazy. And it's doing well? Question it. I'm proud. Question it. It's a fucking billion dollar business in 16 months. That's crazy. Yeah. 16 months.

When everybody else is like, ooh, why are you doing this? Like, I'm gonna make a billion dollars. 100%. It's a billion dollar business in 16 months. Just prove everybody wrong every single time. So we literally just got done. Yesterday was the last day of filming the reality show for Power Slap.

It was our third season. So this is all the fucking gear and shit. And this is the war room for it, where we make the fights. And, you know, I create these war rooms where we film a lot of content for social media too. So yeah. Amazing. Fucking killing it.

It's great. I've never been a part of something more successful in such a short amount of time. We have more sponsors than the UFC had in 10 years. Really? Yeah. And it's kind of like crazier than- We have 27 sponsors.

And we ain't talking fucking- How does it work? Like we got Bush, we got Monster, we got like real fucking sponsors. How does it work? They got Monster, we got real fucking sponsors. How does it work? They go like slap for slap, like how many slaps do you get? Yeah, so the way that works is you do a coin toss

at the WANs and whoever wins the coin toss gets to go first. What people don't really realize, and it's hard to wrap your head around now, the UFC was way more hated than fucking PowerSlap ever. And no, no, we're good, Doc. This is Dr. Davidson. This is actually one of the doctors that I was telling you.

It was like, well, Dana, what the fuck are you doing? And now he works with Gary Brekka. Very cool. Right? So, you know Bigger Stronger Faster? Did you ever see that, Doc? Yes. This is I'm Chris. These are the couple of times I have to thank you. You appreciate it. Pleasure to meet you guys. Thank you.

Yeah, I mean, he was right. I'm I tease because I will send Dana a picture. I'm doing a lot of things he's doing now. He goes, oh, yeah, I've been doing that. Been doing for years. Yeah. Yeah. I'm catching up. Well, you have doctors now that it for years. Yeah. Yeah. I'm catching up. Well, you have doctors now that legit use Gary Brekka.

Do the blood work with them. Do the whole thing. Gary Brekka is literally working on cases with doctors, with like doctors that from hospitals that are fucking the best hospitals in the country. They couldn't solve. Gary Brekka is sitting in on some of these cases that they're working on and giving input and yeah. So many of the doctors that try to debunk Gary Brekker, you're just a fucking hater.

You're a fucking hater and I get it, I get it. You know, you went to school for a million fucking years and spent a shit load of money and you know, you just have to accept the fact that if something goes wrong, you need surgery, you need this, you need that, people are gonna go to you. But for general health, a lot of doctors have no fucking

clue what they're talking about when it comes to jobs. You know, most of the doctors, think about your old doctors, you smoke cigarettes, you fucking, you know, do all this shit and. When you go to medical school, all your medical journal, all the stuff you're reading comes from big pharma, you know, for the most part, right? So you're just fed into that system.

Like here's how you treat somebody with medicine. Right. And if you don't know how to do that, there's no other really way to do it. You know, I'm getting in the medical field. I study medicine. Yeah. Their job is to fucking, if this is wrong with you, here's the pill for it. Yep. That's why I made prescription thugs. I don't mean to suck you into this shit. I don't want to get you fucking, you know what I mean? Listen, I agree. I, Dana and I have talked talked we've had a lot of great debates. There's those, you know, medicine for emergencies and surgeries and things like that. But I, you know, after kind of watching for years and being around Dana a lot, I do think

for your maintenance and for your general health and just almost common sense logic, what would dictate like how to stay healthy. Yeah, I mean, he's a perfect example. And he knows I work out just like him and trying. He's doing the whole protocol now. There's a lot of great doctors out there as well that do like, hey, I went to medical school, but I also eat good and train hard. And like, there's a ton of those 200% they're just not on YouTube and stuff. 100% right. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, talking about really fucking smart people. Yeah, really smart people become doctors and But you can also get sucked into That whole fucking world. Yeah, listen when you start fucking selling medicine and making shit loads of money on selling medicine You got six minutes with a patient You don't got time to ask them what they eat or how they you know, what their stress levels are any, you know, nothing That's not what they do Yeah, I fucking they sell meds. Yeah, they sell medicine what their stress levels are, nothing. That's not what they do.

Yeah, all right. They sell meds. They sell medicine. It's a fucking fact. Go see a doctor and tell them what's wrong with you. You're leaving there with a fucking prescription. But I've also noticed myself, I go to the doctor and he doesn't give me a prescription.

I used to get mad before I knew all this stuff. I used to get mad, like, oh, he didn't even give me anything. And so now I think that's a good thing. Drugs hookup. Yeah, so I used to be doing it. No doctor's telling you, listen, jump in the red light therapy bed for 20 minutes and go fucking cold plunge and do this and do that.

Now they're like, take this fucking two times a day for fucking, yeah. And then when you do that, that has five or six fucking side effects to it, which also make you feel like shit. And the list is just. Well, and then when you do that that has five or six fucking side effects to it Which also make you feel like shit and the list is just when they can try to mitigate them with something else and that has Side effects and you just down the fucking snowball of fucking Feeling like shit nothing. Yeah, and nothing gets fixed. Well, let's get fixed A lot of shit gets masked now

The problem is you guys come do the shit and I could talk about this for fucking nine hours Well, we could talk to you forever, too. I just don't want to keep you. I don't be the guy It's all good hold you back from whatever you do Yeah, very nice to meet you. Absolutely. Yeah, it's dr. Davidson. He's congrats on your health journey. That's amazing.
