I kept it in a cooler and then brought it to the freezer in Bodega and cooked up a bunch of steak while I was there. So that was super a cooler and then brought it to the freezer in Bodega and cooked up a bunch of

steak while I was there. So that was super convenient and that was awesome. And I also lugged around some of these MCT oil powders. I wonder which one. Super, super delicious. But, you know, it's great to have things like this that provide a lot of convenience. And then I also have I have stocked up in Bodega Bay. I also have a bunch of Quest bars in there. And people are always like, hey, what are those bars, man? Those are pretty good. So it's pretty it's pretty cool that there's people that, you know, don't normally have a protein bar.

They're looking around the house for snacks. And I don't really have a lot of I don't have a lot of junk in the house. And so like, should I eat those pretzels or should I have that donut bar? Yeah. They're like, I'm going to try that donut bar. So it's been pretty cool. Yeah. I did have two cookies.

They were homemade. They were delicious on Thanksgiving. But I finished everything off because I still wanted more stuff. Like that's when the pie came out. That's when all the goods came out. And I'm like, I don't want to do that. So I had a hero bar. There you go.

It was so good. I was so satisfied. It was amazing. That's good. Is Quest having a Cyber Monday thing too? They might be. I'm not 100% sure, but I know for sure if you want to save 20%, you can go to questnutrition.com and enter promo code MarksQuest at checkout.

Sweet. Yeah, LeBron has been killing people. Yeah. Yeah. I bet you that's just a commitment to, uh, you know, just the continued commitment to strength training and,

and to diet and stuff too. I mean, obviously he's like the genetic mutant of all genetic mutants, but that doesn't, that still wouldn't explain how he continues to get better all the time. That shit he's doing on his own. Yeah. No,

like I think every, like everybody talks about how he's so prolific for spending so much money on his body every single year. I think compared to all the other NBA athletes, no one spends as much money as he does on his body. So it makes sense. There's a saying that says that you should fix your roof when the sun's out. The time to do it is not when it's raining. And the same thing with your body. Like the time to attend to the tightness in your calves isn't after you exploded your Achilles tendon all over the place.

Yeah. You know, that's the hard thing with that kind of stuff because you're like, I feel good. I don't need to go get a massage or I don't need to do cryotherapy. You think that you don't need these things, but staying ahead of it is probably huge. And I see Gunnar Peterson out there on the court with the Lakers. He's a Lakers strength coach. I see him out there stretching the guys and doing all kinds of techniques and stuff like that to get these guys ready for each and every game.

It must be difficult to try to stay ahead of it all the time, but that's their job, right? Yeah. You know, it, it makes me really wonder, I don't know, Andrew, are we on air by the way or no? Whoa, snap. Okay. Uh, hello. Anyway. Uh, it makes me wonder with a lot of these pro athletes, like I know LeBron is one of the ones that like, he, he's not, I feel like, yeah, he's an athlete, but he's also like his own coach. Yeah, he has people that coach him, but you know what I mean, right? Like he really actually probably understands a lot of stuff about himself and really takes it seriously. I don't know. I don't think like a lot of other pro athletes really kind of do that. You know, I don't think they like, maybe they have the, obviously they have their coaches that tell them what to do.

And they have maybe coaches that tell them what to do, and they have maybe coaches that tell them what to eat, but the amount of pro athletes that I've heard about that just eat fast food all the time, don't really care about their nutrition that much, but because they're so athletic, they can get away with it. There are just some mutants that can do that and be okay, right? I wonder if they really were able to, I guess, have a real understanding or just treat themselves that way, how many more would last longer? Because I don't think that what LeBron's doing, I think it's amazing. But I also think a lot of people could do it if they took things even half as seriously. Yeah. Well, look at Michael Jordan really set the example, right? Michael Jordan was 6'6".

He looked great. He was in great shape. He was clearly very athletic. Air Jordan. I mean, the guy could dunk from just about anywhere. Extremely athletic, but also had to work ethic behind it. And then you look at like a, um, maybe somebody like a Jerry Rice who Jerry Rice is not, he, he wasn't Randy Moss. You know, Randy Moss is like six, three or six, four. I think Jerry Rice is like six he wasn't Randy Moss. Randy Moss is like 6'3 or 6'4. I think Jerry Rice is like 6'1. And Randy Moss, by all accounts, is a better athlete, I would think.

But guys like that really set the standard, and Walter Payton in football as well. Like guys like that really set the standard where they were really gifted, but then you also saw them working for it. Like Jerry Rice would do warm-ups that would make other people throw up. Other people would try to do his workout, and they were just getting through the other side of the warm-up, and they couldn't hack it. And these were other professional athletes.

He's just leaving them in the dust. So I think it's cool that someone like LeBron is like, hey, look, a lot of these people before me, they didn't let off the gas pedal at all. They worked harder as they went deeper into the career. And Jordan is a great example because he used to get the shit beat out of him. He used to get the crap beat out of him by the Detroit Pistons. They had what they called the Jordan rules. They had a whole book on him on what to do to him, but basically just involved trying to beat the crap out of him.

And what did he have to do? He had to hit the weight room. He had to get bigger. And Jordan got bigger and stronger as his career went along, not weaker and smaller. Yeah. You see that with LeBron, too, though. Like, he's – LeBron's jacked.

He's really big. And imagine if that's what he committed to. Like, if he was just like, dude – like, imagine when he's done with his career, he'll probably still be involved in fitness and he'll probably really get crazy jacked. Almost like like Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson is still still big. He's a big like, yeah, Magic Johnson looks like he was an ex NFL player, not an ex. Shoulders are wide and shit. I mean, actually, both those guys kind of parallel each other in some ways.

LeBron being a better athlete and being faster and things like that. But it's cool. I like watching greatness. I love watching like, you know, I'm a Jets fan, so I love watching the Patriots lose. But at the same time, I root for Tom Brady and I love watching that. I love seeing the resilience. Tom Brady is the same age as me and he's still out there throwing around a football like that doesn't make any sense

dang really yeah I did not I didn't know that yeah just think about how washed up and disgusting I am and imagine me running around a football field throwing around a football yeah me and LeBron James are like two weeks apart birthdays but you're not 35 wait what do you mean just birthday wise like or sorry maybe like two months but yeah like we're the like graduated the same year well you're the same age same age oh snap a little bit little difference there i wonder how old shack is like shack's probably not that old either shack's probably only like 46 or something like that because yeah i think he's like yeah 46 or 48 i'm laughing because i was at a best i love shack he makes me laugh i was at best by 47 47 and i see just like these

printers and then here's shack just smiling by these printers i'm just like this guy is the ad just like the the face of everything oh my god underwear printers staples i don't know just everything it's crazy yeah he. He's everywhere, man. He's really crushed it. He's so likable. You know, it's rare to see athletes like that. But when you do, like people are really drawn to them. But you would have to be you have to be exceptional.

You have to be extraordinary to be like funny and silly. Right. Like Gronkowski comes to mind. Like Gronkowski was out there at the Lakers game game like dancing with the cheerleaders and stuff i saw that you know like and i i realize he's retired now too but like he did that while he was playing he's retired he just retired yeah last last season yeah oh wow okay yeah um but you know most people will get killed if they do that or not even make a team, you know, or they're barely hanging on as it is. They got to be like, they got to be more serious.

Right. Yeah. He was always, always messing around, always, you know, having a good time. He was crazy. Hell of an athlete, though, too. Yeah, seriously. But I don't. Andrew, were we on air when we were talking about that Donchich guy?

No. Luka Donchich? No. No, no no not quite what team is he on he's on the dallas mavericks and um i think in the draft last year he was pick number four right and he was traded like he was traded for the first uh round pick mavericks get a lot of talented white guys yeah but no seriously like luca's proving to be like he was the best of that draft he's like from

slovenia or something but he's being compared to like a young lebron and the crazy thing i love him because number one he's not the most athletic um he can't like he can dunk but he's not like you know dunking over people like lebron is but his like iq and just his like skill his just like absolute skill is just so crazy yeah it's a crazy skill set to see some of these guys are are good at amplifying the other players around them i think that's what lebron does really well yeah and he's already setting records i think he's like he's almost averaging a triple double this season as a 20 year old so he was playing oh my god he was playing pro basketball since he was like 12 or 13 years old in, um, in Spain or something.

Fucking massive. Yeah. Yeah. But like, he's just, it's, it's so crazy, you know?

So first off y'all, y'all are coming back. This is your bird. This is your bird, but he is, uh, oh man, it's just,

he's so crazy. It's so crazy. Yeah. He's, he's freaking talented. That's for damn sure yeah yeah they always get the uh the euros over there in dallas obviously yeah and he like i'm kind of mad at him because um the lakers that were on a winning streak i think they're on a 14 game winning streak um and he just ended their winning streak and he beat like they beat the Lakers by 14 points, which is unfortunate. But, yeah, it's – I love it.

Watching Tom Brady last night, they were playing against the Texans. Tom Brady is 42, and the other guy on the other team, the quarterback for the other team, I lost his name in my head for a second, but he's only 24. It's crazy. And then Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens is 22 years old, and he's out there just destroying people. It's crazy. And then Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens is 22 years old and he's out there just destroying people. It's, it's crazy. You know, you got some of these, uh, I mean, it's cool to see LeBron, you know, still hanging, hanging on. I know 35 is not old, but it is

starting to get older as a, uh, as a pro athlete and someone that, uh, skipped the college process. So he's been in, you know, the pros for, I don't know been in you know the pros for i don't know probably 10 years or so i don't know how long has lebron been a pro basketball player 17 years 17 years half his life yeah holy shit yeah right out of high school yeah yeah it's a crazy that would have been 2003 yeah but the crazy thing is like for the past i think it was like seven or eight seasons he made the playoffs every single season oh god so he was playing the regular season which he he never missed a game plus the playoffs every single season until until last season i think these teams need to probably start to consider that you know for somebody like him like maybe

you you know don't need him to play as much all the time. Well, they're getting shit for that because Greg Popovich started it back when Tim Duncan was playing. He would bench all this, like, oh, we're going to Sacramento? Okay, all of the starters are not making the trip. And so it became an issue where it's like, this is my one time I get to see Tim Duncan, and you're going to bench him because he's tired? Like, dude, I just spent all this money on these tickets and now I can't see what one of the best players in the NBA has to offer. So it became an issue of like, okay, you can't really bench players anymore, but why can't you? That's kind of tough, too, because are you really saving them or are you messing them up?

Because maybe they need to be competitive and maybe they need to be moving all the time. I've heard people say that about fighter planes and like war – what do you call those? What are those giant fucking ships? What are those called? Aircraft carriers, stuff like that. Like if those things don't move, it's not good for them to sit there. They get like barnacles

and they fall apart faster by not moving. And so maybe these high-level athletes, maybe it's the same. Maybe they need to move around a certain amount. Yeah. But I'd also guess, you probably just wouldn't want to take unnecessary risks, but you also don't want to lose games either.

Yeah. But I mean, if they're so confident that they can beat sec with the bench you know yeah i i get it though like especially with how long these players play and how often they're playing each week it makes some sense you know he's probably not sitting them out that long but yeah but that's yeah that's when it started and that was when it became an issue but like but then you do look at someone like lebron and it's like dude he he's such a freak though i'm gonna admit this though like i mainly watch the highlights i don't i like yeah i don't watch a lot of games either yeah i watch the highlights because like the games are long oh yeah so i do love the lakers i do love lebron just because of like what he is as an athlete like

i love that but i still don't watch as much and i'm not asking this as like oh you're bandwagon fan but like did you like the lakers before you could ask my best friend sadly he hates me brian um because like when we were like six years old or not not six when we were eight years old and the 2000 kings were like doing really well or whatever. I was still a Lakers fan because I loved Kobe. So back then I was like a big Kobe fan. So I've been a Lakers fan all the way. I really have. And this is the truth. They've been good. No, no, no. It's like, seriously, since I was a kid, like even though I wasn't from LA, I just liked Kobe. And that's why I've been an LA fan. And now since we have LeBron, since they have LeBron, we're good.

Could you imagine being a player like that? Like being someone like a LeBron James and, you know, like the people, as soon as they get selected to a team, they're thinking about like, oh, like if they get selected and they're in the same division as LeBron, they're in the same conference.

They know that they're going to play him multiple times. They're already thinking about him, especially if it's a player that they know is going to like defend him. So like for the entire year, this person's getting all hyped up to defend LeBron James and then also, you know, score on him and everything else. And so like the level of competition that's coming at you every week or to be like a tom brady like it was crazy last night to watch the game and see tom

brady uh just be so frustrated by the way did you say they won no they lost they lost they lost yeah to see him uh you know just getting so frustrated but you know most half probably maybe even probably about half of the New England Patriots are half the New England Patriots coaching staff over the last decade is dismantled and broken up into being head coaches and coaches of other teams because they're so good. So like the tree of of great coaches that have fallen down from Bill Belichick is great. And so the defensive coordinator for the other team used to be the New England coach. He knows all the ins and outs of everything they do. Just imagine having that target on your back every single week. Because usually you see the Patriots come out. They're a little slow.

Brady's kind of notorious for bringing them back. And usually it's like no sweat. But like this team last night, they just had his number. And he couldn't do anything. It was killing them. And then he finally did figure it out at the end. They only lost by like two points or maybe four points or something like that. But at the very end, they started finally figuring it out.

And that's the crazy thing about watching these, uh, these legendary coaches and players, like they will figure you out at a certain point and they will, you know, kind of get a recipe that's going to jack you up at some point. Yeah. In terms of like, I guess I think I was, uh, when we had Steffi Cohen and you had Steffi Cohen at your house, um, I asked her about it because like, she has all these records, right? I was like, do you feel anybody nipping at you? Like, cause you're, you're what every, every person in that weight class wants to target. Do you feel that yet? Or is anybody coming after you like that? You know, when you compare it to a sport like powerlifting, I guess trying to beat your own records all the time is, is different. That is different. Yeah. And being so much further ahead than other people um

you know being like a michael phelps or something like that like yeah you just you smoke everybody almost all the time so it's like uh or usain bolt yeah like they're just so much more ahead i saw recently um ben johnson you know ben Ben Johnson is notoriously the guy who's busted with steroids in the 1989 Olympics. He said that he was running today. I forget what the world record is. It's around nine, seven, something, right? Something like that. I think it's like nine.

Was it nine, four, nine? I don't know. Yeah, whatever. Like he said, he was just saying, like, if he raced in today's track that he would do like nine seconds flat or something. Everyone was like, holy shit. What was the, what meter? 100 meter. Yeah.

Yeah, whatever. Like, I don't know. He said like some crazy number and everyone flipped out. But he was, he wasn't referring to really necessarily like training methods or anything, but he just said the track and the shoes and everything's quite different. 9.8, 9.58 seconds set by Usain Bolt in 2009. Yeah. Yeah. That's moving pretty goddamn fast.

But nine seconds. It was something crazy like that. Maybe he said like nine, two or something. But yeah, shaving off that amount of, you know, is still a crazy amount. You know, you're actually kind of. OK, so he he may have there's a whole entire book about that sort of advantage i don't know if you guys heard have you heard about that book i've heard about the book no what do you know what it's called yeah i forget what it's called but it'll come to me i saw a video of um gosh i'm so sad i don't remember his name do you remember that uh the black track

athlete in like the 20s or 30s that went to germany oh jesse owens jesse owens they made a video about how fast jesse owens would be on these tracks have you seen that video yeah yeah and it's like something ridiculous like he'd still be matching everybody or better than people now because of like the what he was running on the shoes probably running on some fucking gravel or some shit yeah exactly so honestly like what ben knows those fucking nazi bastards. So honestly, like what Ben said. Who knows what those fucking Nazi bastards have running on them. No, what Ben said might be legit. He might actually really be able to still F people up. But a lot of, like you hear that a lot

to like NBA legends and stuff. Before I played in the NBA, I'd wreck all of you. Yeah, they're not allowed to foul anybody anymore. So yeah, I would score 100 points every game. Although whenever I talk to anybody who's seen Michael Jordan play, because I'm always like, I think LeBron's pretty damn great. I think he could give Jordan a run for his money. Everyone's like, nah.

If you actually watched Michael play, he'd smoke LeBron every single time. Who knows, though? Who really knows? LeBron might end up with more championships i don't know we'll see how many does he have right now i think if he wins one more i think he's right there with him i think because he won he won at least one in cleveland right he won one in cleveland and two with miami so he has three championships right now yeah so he's got jordan did what six six yeah. Kobe did five.

Oh yeah. That team could have kept winning forever if they just bitching at each other all the time. Yeah. They really could have. They really could have. Didn't Jordan like Jordan like left and then came back and won again. Didn't he? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Played golf for a bit. That makes sense. And he played baseball. Oh yeah. That was based. That wasn't the golf.

That was the baseball. It's baseball. It has baseball. Okay. He came he came back as number 45 yeah that was weird dang it yeah it's crazy dude six championships but um also shack and penny hardaway could have won a shit ton of championships too yeah so do you i'm sorry i don't remember what you're talking dude so uh amferny amferny hardaway uh you don't remember amferny is some shit like fernie yeah it's an anthony it's with the f or anthony amferny amferny okay was this on the wizard or something no this was on the magic yeah this was before shack went to la

dude they had a dope team they had 3d dennis scott oh yeah horse grant they had penny they had shack uh they dude they had a legit team they um uh so one year they got Shaq, number one draft pick. It's impossible to get two draft picks in a row. It just doesn't happen. The very next year, boom, number one draft pick, Penny Hardaway. So they now have their point guard that was like, at the time, arguably, it was like, dude, who's your favorite player? It's Michael Jordan. Nah, the more all-around player was Penny Hardaway.

Wow. And he had Little Penny. They had these like Foot Locker commercials. Oh, those commercials were sick. Dude, it was so sick. Those commercials were hilarious. Who was doing his voice? Like Chris Rock or something, right?

I think it was Chris Rock, yeah. Was I alive? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You were probably like six. Okay. Okay.

98. Walking around pooping your pants probably. Definitely. Most definitely. but what ended up happening is shack fell in love with the west coast and got a really good deal in la and yeah at the time like all of the like the execs in orlando were like shack like just give us one more chance like don't go anywhere and they're just like yeah i'll think about it like dude seriously man we're about to get over the like yeah I'll think about it like dude seriously man

we're about to get over the hump yeah like we're about to win everything because they ended up losing to the Rockets in the finals

I know well Hakeem I mean you can't yes dude Olajuwon Drexler yeah he was crazy dude he was so

in my opinion the best center like all around center ever to play the game he might be he was so good. He was unstoppable. They don't have centers like that anymore.

They don't really have any. Like that position doesn't even really exist anymore. No. And another player who I just, I mean, it's in my DNA. I have to hate him, but he was on that Rockets team. And he also won everything for them too. Big shot Bob, Robert Ori. Yeah.

Oh. He won two championships with them and then went to LA. Mr. Eight Rings. Dude, yeah. So, like, if you want to talk about champions, like, I think he's won more than anybody. And on top of that, he looks like fucking Will Smith. He looks exactly like Will Smith. I've been saying that for years.

It's like Will Smith banging out those three-pointers at the end of the game. Oh, my God. Like, dude, you can't be a movie star and a basketball hero at the same time yeah so saving the world knocking down threes yeah you know nobody talks about these some of these guys who just managed to be on these teams because there was a guy that like switched teams multiple times this is recent he won three rings in a row on the bench on two different teams i think he was on the warriors for two years and then i think he was on the Warriors for two years. And then I think he, I don't know if he moved to another team, whichever team, but he also won with them on the bench. That's got to be a hell of a thing.

If I was a bench player and I had like a Super Bowl ring, I'd wear that thing every day. All the time. I would never take that thing off. You know, like the starters, like none of them probably really wear like they wear for like a week or something. But all the guys that are like never see the light of day they're wearing it all the time the kicker on the practice squad wears it every single day they want people to ask to ask him like hey what is that yeah it's a super it's pretty cool like the announce like the the team the announcers from each team they also get a ring too really yeah wow i think in in football, Charles Staley has like maybe five or six rings, right?

Six rings maybe? For the Niners? Or Charles Haley, rather. Haley. Oh, I can look that up. I have no idea. He was Niners Cowboys. Oh, man.

Who is this man? Yeah, he was Niners Cowboys. He was just a defensive. I think he was a linebacker. Oh, okay, player. But yeah, he was unbelievable. I mean, he was a really good player player i mean yeah he's a whole gamer he's got five he got five yeah so brady brady has six right fuck him does anybody else on the patriots have six has anybody else

been there the entire time no right i mean other than belichick obviously Belichick no because Gronkowski does he still yeah Gronkowski's retired was he old? yeah but Gronkowski might have six Gronkowski's not necessarily old but he's probably well if Brady's 42 he's been there

for a long time he only has two yeah he might be like 38 or something okay 36 but he just uh he had a lot of injuries he got jacked up a lot I don't know if you remember like how much football you watch but like he had like the big giant elbow thing on and like he had like the bionic knee pads and everything like he just was all geared up and like whatever he had to throw on to get on the football field every week yeah tom brady has six championship rings and nine super bowl appearances which is the most in out of any player in history yeah that's crazy tom brady dad bod and everything

yeah that's the position i guess as a qb you're kind of safe yeah and i wonder if he still has a dad bod because like he had the dad bod when he got drafted but i think i think he has probably improved that since that time he has a good two to four pack at this point like he's yeah he's probably he's in shape a little bit better uh a little bit better off good call from brian steve kerr has a bunch of rings too oh yeah yeah. Cause yeah. Bulls, Spurs. And then now as a coach, as a Warriors. He's got hella rings. Oh man.

That's awesome. What about a crucial Jackson? He must have a lot of rings to the coach for the former Phil Jackson. So he's got six with the board. He has 10. Maybe I'm going to, I'm going to take a, so you're thinking he has five with I'm gonna I'm gonna take a so you're thinking

was he the he has five with the bulls and then whatever fuck I'm gonna google it he was all weird

he had like all these weird right like he was like the triangle offense like and he was in like the weird like meditation or something weird right

I need to read his book they call them the zen or something right oh yeah yeah yeah zen master I need to read read that's actually a book i should read because he wrote a he wrote a really good book apparently but um i never got around to it i need to check it out yeah he was i mean he played for like the knicks too i think so because he's huge i don't think he's just randomly that big 11 rings and you don't have that many fingers nope gotta put one on his dick you got a 13 total as a player and a coach oh he got two rings as a player too what the

man wow whole yeah individual that ain't bad i know the boston celtics i think won like 10 championships in a row and the cleveland browns did, too, before they had a Super Bowl. But I don't know if there's like the same guy on the team for that long. And then the UCLA Bruins, they won like 10 straight NCAA championships. Ty Sedney. Do you remember him? Oh, yeah, yeah. He ended up playing for the Kings, too.

He played for the Spurs, too, right? He played for maybe, and I know for sure, the Celtics also. Ty Cedney? Tyus? Tyus Cedney. You're having a hard time with these black names. I thought he said Ty Cedney, not Tyus Cedney. My pronunciation's probably not.

Anthony or Anthony? You do need to look up his. How is his name spelled? I'll look it right up. There was people always joked about that name. They were like, what the like, did the mom like, you know, mess up saying Anthony? Yeah. Oh, man.

Anthony. Anthony. Yeah. OK, so, yeah, it is like Anthony, but with an F. So, Anthony. Anthony. Not Anthony. That's one of those like uh things you just got to get into a fight anthony okay you got to get into a fight about it every time right yeah once you see it anthony asshole who the fuck's name is anthony oh that's why i

just called him penny it's a penny yeah yeah and i don't know where that came from man i'm gonna look up the he's one of those people where you'd flip out if you saw him in person like more so than like a like i don't mean to say real celebrity but like somebody of a huge significance now like you might flip out more if you saw somebody that was like that yeah around because you just like i don't know some somebody from like uh childhood memories or something you might be more pumped about man there we go pull this up for you who's this that so these are the little penny commercials oh my god they're so good they're so random what the fuck dude penny was so good yeah i didn't i didn't see any of these look who that is tyra banks oh really hey hey now hey now it's tyra banks little penny had tyra banks damn yeah oh no oh man i was uh thanksgiving for you for y'all uh it was a it was awesome, dude.

It was a good success. Great success, I should say. Did you eat your tomahawks on your own? No, so tomahawks are still intact, but the smoked turkey came out really good. Now, it tasted like turkey, but with a smoky flavor to it. And it took me... Smoky like our smoky? Or smoky like there's been smoke like smoke like has been around oh like like burning smoke flavor it was hella good though like uh it just

it tasted different than like a traditional turkey because like my mom brought a turkey as a backup because i'm like hey i might ruin everything like, and hers tasted great. It was just like a traditional, like this tastes like turkey. And then you eat the one that I made and it was like, okay, this is turkey, but it tastes a little different. Like this is cool. Like it's just, it's nice to have a different flavor. Yeah. It took me like five and a half hours to smoke it.

So once you cut into it, like juices were flowing everywhere, which is a little bit different than like a dry ass turkey right but uh i mean i maybe i would do it again i don't know if it's really worth worth it to spend that much time to cook a turkey yeah like maybe just get away with like bless you thank you get away with just like just like smoking chicken and just enjoying that. What did turkey, like, has turkey, well, it's always been the Thanksgiving bird, but why? I don't know. I think it has something to do with pilgrims. That and they're big and dumb. Flightless bird, easy to kill.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's a large amount of food. And I guess like Thanksgiving is like a gathering. Yeah, exactly. I think, yeah, it's a large amount of food, and I guess Thanksgiving is like a gathering, and so trying to do the same thing with filet mignon or something would cost a lot of money. Yep. So if you had a big filet roast or something like that, then that would be harder to figure out. Okay.

That makes sense. But, yeah, so we hosted Thanksgiving for the first time at the crib. It was cool. Everything was crib. It was cool. Everything was like... That's cool. You had a bunch of people over the hizzy? Yeah, yeah. I had a bunch of kids running around and I'm like, I'll go to this room, play Switch, go

to this room, watch Disney Plus, and then my dad's watching the football games. Any meltdowns from the kids? Those are always good. No, no. Everyone's chill. Everyone's pretty... I think the youngest is like eight. Oh, okay. Everyone's over. Everyone's pretty, I think the youngest is like eight. Oh, okay.

Everyone's over that, huh? Yeah, exactly. And then my dad's like snoring on the couch. So I'm like, cool, that's good. That's about on pace with what it should be. But it was cool because like timing wise, right, as I'm pulling out the turkey, that's when everyone showed up. Yeah. So it just, it worked out perfect that's great

which you know you're always kind of worried like oh do i start now do i start later like i don't want people waiting around what was uh what was the one thing that you uh maybe missed out on or didn't miss out on from a food perspective because i know you're still working on the apps for christmas uh 100 for sure rolls oh yeah just a dinner roll just a dinner roll those are like the ones you just like twist or whatever and you throw them in the oh yeah yeah like those are hella good but even more so like the uh like the the softer like i'm not gonna they're not the hawaiian hawaiian rolls which are amazing but they kind of look like that they're they're not as sweet it's just it's just bread period period, just bread.

Not the Costco ones. Maybe. Like, is it the dinner roll that you, does it come on its own tray already and you just throw them in the oven? Yeah, yeah. One of those guys. Those are hella good.

God, they smell really good. That's the killer. Yeah, yeah. The killer is the smell. I actually heard something recently that even the smell and even the sight of stuff like that can raise your insulin levels. That makes sense, dude. Yeah.

Isn't that interesting? Probably has something to do with like your salivary glands going. It's to prepare your body for, yeah, what you're about to like consume. I even, I posted something this morning that showed your, your ghrelin levels, the hunger hormone. It increases like whatever times you normally feed at. Yeah. It's just, it's, it's, but if you fast for a while, like let's say you fasted for three or four days, it will kind of reset into like whatever way you want to treat yourself, whatever way you want to feed yourself.

So wait, just three to four days. I thought it took longer. That's dope. Yeah. Wow. way you want to feed yourself so wait just three to four days i thought it took longer that's dope yeah wow i mean i'm sure like it might take like to really reset it because you might have some uh different things ingrained into your into your you know into your head but the one guy i was listening to which by the way everyone that listens to this show should list should uh go subscribe to what i've learned that is that is the coolest YouTube channel in the world.

That guy's got some great information on that, on that, uh, on that channel. But yeah, the thing that he was describing was he did, uh, one meal a day,

but he did it every other day. And he said he was shocked at how quickly he adapted to it and how quickly he got used to it. And he said the only times he was hungry was right around that same time that he fed himself. And he said that only took about six days for him to get over the other hunger that he would normally have at breakfast and lunchtime, which is, you know, that's just a one of one person, right? But in the information that I posted this morning, it shows, you know, your ghrelin

levels increase at breakfast, they increase at lunch and they increase at dinner and those were that was just a study that was done on um that was a study that was done on people that are used to having like three meals a day so it makes sense that it would spike like that but that's kind of crazy that you can be influenced without even eating yeah i guess that's the main point is like your hunger hormone can go up and it can go down even when you don't eat. It would make sense that if you ate that it would go down. But even further beyond that, once you start to fast for multiple days, the hunger hormone not only decreases, but continually goes down. And after two or three or four days, it will start to be so low that you really won't care about food quite as much anymore, which is crazy because it's like you would think that the more time that you spent without eating, the hungrier you would be.

Yeah. That's what you experienced on your prolonged fast, right? Yeah. Yeah. I've been thinking about doing another one coming up. They're hard just to do. You know, they're hard to – it's hard to – you need to kind of get in the right frame of mind to like even go about doing it. I just want to make sure that we don't have any – that we're not going out to eat or something like that.

So I'll probably do it the next couple days. My birthday is coming up December 10th. So I figured not that I'm going to eat anything shitty on that day, but I'll probably eat more than normal. So I was thinking maybe going into that, I would, you know, try a 48 hour, 72 hour fast a couple of days beforehand. Yeah. Give it a shot again. The next time I try that, because I've managed to I've only done a 48 hour and that second night falling asleep was the devil. I only managed to sleep like four hours because i couldn't get to sleep so i'm thinking like the next time i do it i'm gonna have to like i'll probably use the sauna like before bed to try and knock myself out because like i know i worked out

the night the the second night of the 48 hour um but i literally i just couldn't my mind wouldn't stop my just body wouldn't go to sleep. So there, I'm going to want to try that again, but I got to figure that out. You got to figure out how to make that happen. You guys have traditional Thanksgiving or you do anything different? Um, this,

like this Thanksgiving, I usually go to two houses. I usually go to my aunt's place and then, uh, John Cena's like drunk today. Yeah. Yeah. He just can't hang on to the pole.

It's too much. Create them. It's weird. Um, I used to go to my uh aunt's house and then also my my lady's parents house but this time i only went to my lady's parents house so one thanksgiving this year and the food was good but as i was telling andrew before the show this is one of like i feel like this is the most controlled thanksgiving i've had

in terms of food ever like yeah i had seconds i had two slices of pie but compared to my former like four big slices of pie and maybe a good three to four plates of food like piled high not just not just like three good plates of food piled plates of food this was a really tame i fasted beforehand and that's what i told a lot of people i work with to do too just like maybe eat a little bit less the day before and just fast the day and then go eat enjoy yourself eat until you're full don't eat until you feel disgusting right um and it was yeah it was chill yeah when we talk like you know you hear you see a lot of people posting on social media before thanksgiving um things to do or whatever it just seems just seems like if you learn to fast

and just control that aspect, there's really no stress to it. It feels that way. Maybe I'm, I don't know, seeing it from a I don't know. No, I think fasting is and we talk about it like endlessly on the show and some people probably get a little pissy about it.

But I think that it kind of falls in line with something that I always, that I always thought was correct is that even for people that do track their calories and people that do count their calories, I think it's important to understand that your calories don't really reset to zero when you wake up the next day. That's just so that the math is easy. That's just so it's,

and if we're trying to think about consistent weight loss that's going to be something that you can sustain, we're thinking about overall lowering the amount of food that you eat for the week, for the then the holidays are coming up and you just start to implement some 12- and 14-hour fast, which is pretty mild. That's kind of just skipping breakfast maybe, right? If you start to implement a little bit of fasting, you spend a little bit less time eating. you probably have shifted the energy into a situation where if you do enjoy yourself on Thanksgiving and if you do mess up on some upcoming holidays, it's not going to impact you that bad. Yeah. Maybe not at all. No, it shouldn't. Like, and I don't think.

I think it's the joy of fitness is like that. These things shouldn't negatively hurt you. They shouldn't set you back three or four days or even three or four weeks. Yeah. And like I was telling people also just don't track during thanksgiving there's no you don't you don't don't take your scale just go eat enjoy the time um but yeah don't be a freak yeah there's there's just so many ways to just prepare for it so that you can enjoy the day with your family you you can still eat all those foods right even those potential trigger foods and

just go back the next day great to track everybody else's food. You're like, here, Uncle John, I measured this stuff out for you and that plate right there is 1,800 calories. You might want to slow down on that a little bit and not come back for seconds because that's kind of a lot, if I'm going to be honest with you.

You would get invited to so many more functions and whatnot yeah man yeah i ended up fasting like uh i think a little bit over 20 hours um just because i was getting stuff ready um and on top of the balloons dropped down from the ceiling when you did that big celebration 20 hours of fasting no it was just it was, ding, ding, ding. No, it was just, it was more of one of those things where I'm like, oh shit, like I'm pretty, pretty deep into this fast, but it's because I was keeping busy. Like we were running around like crazy and I knew I was going to fast for a long time anyways, but because I was busy, I'm like, oh, whoops.

Like, okay, I guess I'll, you know, start making myself a plate. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, I was telling Se telling sim i think the only thing i did was just i felt like i ate i could i just overate a little bit too much but i uh again i didn't have like bread um i didn't have any ham because you know we're more on the uh the higher carb lower fat side of things so i ended up having like a lot of uh like potatoes and stuffing and then a shit ton of turkey trying to get full off of that. But afterwards, I just felt like, oh, like, man, I think I overdid it.

I know I overdid it because, man, I was farting like crazy. Oh, man. It was so bad. I cleared out every room I walked into. Oh, my God. Ham, I think, might be pretty lean i think right oh really i mean well because this one was like a spiral ham right so i had like sugar and all kinds of stuff on it yeah oh yeah yeah like a honey bake yeah yeah exactly so why is that only done with ham like i think they only

do that with ham right like i've never heard of honey baked actually i've had honey baked chicken um but like they, you know, like, like, like ham. So if you were to, if you were to slice ham and you were to eat like dead center in the middle of it,

it tastes like the outside of the ham. Whereas if you do that with a steak, it doesn't, the steak on the inside, if you were to, you know, cut out a portion of the steak on the inside, you,

you didn't like salt that part or whatever. So like a ham is like cured i guess right um i guess maybe with beef maybe they do it sometimes with like roast beef maybe i don't know sometimes it has got that flavor to it that kind of real salty kind of yeah tangy flavor on your tongue almost you know yeah i never think about the way they cook these things one thing one thing i i've been dying to ask somebody on this show but i don't know if anyone's got the answer for this how come you eat uh chicken skin but you don't eat beef skin like what's the difference like it sounds disgusting to eat beef skin like i know it sounds gross but like what's the difference do you think because it doesn't like peel off i don't i don't know but i uh y'all y'all ever mess with goat i like goat yeah yeah i still

never have you still never had goat i like goat cheese and i haven't really eaten much goat meat before but i have had it before yeah so i mean you guys saw when uh we had that like uh goat head oh yeah we kept the the skin of the head on and it cooked and it was good. Yeah. But obviously that's not common practice. But I feel like maybe the skin of a cow might be a little bit of the same texture. Maybe it's too leathery. Oh, that was good.

But I feel like it's the same texture. It was good. I just don't know. Yeah. Why don't we? I think it's not same texture and it was good i just don't know yeah why don't we i think it's not an american thing maybe i feel like maybe in other places they might keep that skin on yeah yeah they might just they might just uh obliterate the whole thing yeah seriously like yeah oh by the

way cow skin because i'm curious about your thanksgiving but you guys would be proud of me i cooked um uh the one of the i think new york cap steaks pivanti'saks or was it ribeye cap? Ribeye cap. I cooked it and then I let it sit. I let it sit for like 15 minutes. I let it sit and it was so good. It makes a huge difference if you let it sit there.

It like plumped up. I was like, wait, why? It's usually thinner than this. Why is it so nice and plump and it's bleeding a little bit? And I cut into it. I was like, oh, I actually licked the mic. It was so good. I have to like think of shit to do like while it's, you know, while it's resting because it kills me.

I'm like, oh man, I got to wait for it. Yeah. I always fight like, like, dude, but it's getting cold now. Like, ah, like maybe I'll just meet you halfway like between warm and sitting but yeah yeah it's worth a little foil over top of it that works pretty good too because it keeps the heat in and then it's still going through its process of kind of continuing to cook yeah i was gonna say it's so it'll like uh because i use a thermometer so it'll get hotter as it's off of the grill yeah i'm like whoa yeah i took the um took a Piedmontese ribeye yesterday, threw it on.

I kind of have like a grill skillet type of thing. I threw it on there, and then I put a pan on top of it. You ever see like those pressed down things they have for meat? Like an iron? Yeah, it kind of looks like an iron. And I don't have one of those, so I just like threw another pan on top of the meat to kind of make the fat crispy. Oh, my God, it was so good.

I threw tons of butter on there and garlic salt. Holy shit. Yeah, I did use garlic salt yesterday, too. That was the first time I used it. You have to be a little careful with garlic salt because garlic and salt, garlic kind of tastes a little bit salty to begin with and then if you combine the two then you can kind of over salt me yeah but fuck it was good yeah i'm more of a fan of just like so i don't i don't know garlic salt and me don't get along for some reason you like the seasoned salt though yeah but also like grilled onions way better oh yeah i know it's not like yeah it's apples to oranges right but like

grilled onions is just like holy shit dude you know what you said you what's that what's that seasoning called something q caribbe q caribbe q do you put that on your steaks yes dude i need to i need to get some of that caribbe yes because it like there's this guy on instagram i think it's it's his instagram caribbe q yeah it's caribbe q his name's kurt he's a good dude yeah and like andrew knows him but i want but I went to his page. He's like Caribbean barbecue type of thing. Yeah. He has so many flavors.

And this is what you got to be careful when fasting. Cause I've noticed, I don't look at your page in the morning. I don't. There's too much meat on there. Yeah. Stay away from you. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't, I don't look at your page cause I did that once. I was like, God damn, I'm so hungry now. That's keep myself busy. But when you go to this man's page, his seasoning just looks so good. Yeah. What is it? Redmond's or is it real salt? Yeah, Redmond's real salt.

Yeah, that's the seasoning. What the hell is that seasoning even called? I think it's just called seasonal. Yeah. Organic seasonal. It's kind of like the, what the hell is that salt called? That orangey salt. What the hell is that called?

Seasoned salt. That's what it's called. Yeah, it's just called seasoned salt. You're right. Wow. That looks good, Andrew. So I used KarubiQ's Honey Heat and i just caked it all on and it like caramelized it was so good dude yeah i'll pull up the other one but i actually buy uh that one's

actually new york strip oh nice yeah uh what's funny though is i was telling and seem like i feel like like man maybe i shouldn't be posting this stuff late at night you know because like people maybe they just ate dinner or like okay i'm gonna start my fast now and then i post this shit and it's like oh my gosh like this dude you know what's so good weird is like uh you know like i think we probably all undersell our ability to cook but we all have a lot of cooking experience you know and we you learn you learn how to cook i have a lot of cooking experience you know and we you learn you learn how to cook i have a lot of people that ask me they're like man i don't know how to get like my meat to taste good or you know i don't always look forward to it i'm like man i don't

feel the same way i don't really feel like i'm a good cook i guess because i just i'm very simple i don't really do much to it, but it is a talent, you know, especially like to get your food on the grill and even like something like onions, like onions add, I don't think people understand, but onions add a lot of sweetness to your food. Like onions,

it's a weird thing, but an onion has even like a sweet flavor to it. So I think a lot of people don't really know. Like we start to mix these things together. And if you make sense of it or you get a keto cookbook or you get some sort of healthy cookbook, it could be something that could be a real game changer for you. Because mixing some ingredients that are still healthy for you can be freaking fantastic. Dude, jalapeno poppers. Is that what that is

yeah yeah wrapped in bacon yeah shout out to my dude kurt he's a good guy it looks like a lot of my food's on there you guys stealing some of my pictures but you know what had like back in the uh when i was first trying to like learn about this all this dieting stuff when i was like 19 or 20 or whatever, I was like, how am I supposed to enjoy any of this food? You know, like how am I supposed to like, you know, eat different types of food? It's not coming from a box. Right. Right.

Especially as a kid. Yeah. It didn't come from a box. But like nowadays, whenever like anybody I work with asks me, oh, like what kind of different things do I eat? Anybody I work with asks me, oh, like what kind of different things do I eat? It's kind of tough because I realize that like I eat a lot of the same stuff and I never thought that I'd really be like cool eating the same stuff every day. But like I enjoy all of the same basic things I eat and it's so basic. It's like eggs, white rice, potatoes here and there. How is the taste compared to when you started?

You think that have you kind of like spice things up? Have you gotten a little bit better at cooking? Have you tried things that are maybe different than what you used to do a little bit, but not much? Well, okay. Let's, let's say this, this year is different than last year in terms of the cooking and stuff, but it's not, it's not anything revolutionary. I think you and i are similar and and andrew is kind of he cooks better than me when i see his food to be perfectly honest yeah he's a little bit in the same boat as us but like because he's he's here uh you know for extended periods of time he's got to bring his food in and heat it up but you and i we eat we only eat stuff that we cook right then yeah which is a huge that. Like if you, like I've mentioned this before

on this podcast, I think almost everybody, with the exception of someone who's traveling, is home twice a day. You're home in the morning, you probably woke up in your bed and then you return back to your bed at night, right? So even like, even though we talk about like intermittent fasting

and having this kind of long pause between feedings you don't have to eat that way you could you you could be healthy and be in great shape if you had your breakfast and you fasted until dinner but that would be there's another there's another great option for you if you know eating heating reheating you know your last night's steak doesn't sound appetizing to you or or you're having a hard time figuring out what to eat once you go to like uh work or whatever you could just always fast through work i mean that's definitely a possibility you have a meal in the morning fast through work and then when you come home boom eat again yeah no i think i feel like that's one of the easiest things to do it's just it's still a lot of people it's still really weird to just think about not eating like lunch or something or not eating in the middle of the day because like you have that lunchtime and you usually eat.

So what do I do instead? Yeah. I'm like so grateful that like you guys have kind of taught me how to fast basically. We ended up traveling to Monterey over the weekend. There's like eight of us, right? And I'm like, okay, I know I'm going to fast for majority of this day because like gas station food or whatever. Like even if we do come across food, it's not going to be good. So like I started the day, everybody got their breakfast sandwiches, which were whatever, like majority carbs, right?

With like a slice of like ham or something and then i got my coffee and then next stop was like oh like some hostess donuts or something like water yeah uh and then yeah fasted through the whole day and then we ended up going to a really good mexican restaurant in monterey uh serita's if you guys are around there it's. It's so good. I ended up getting the biggest burrito they had, no tortilla, and just keep adding more and more chicken. It was pretty funny because

the guy came around and I was done. He was just like, whoa, do you want another one? I'm like, ah, I better not. I felt great the whole day. I could have made the whole trip home before I ate because I had that in my head right like my mindset was like i'm not gonna mess up my diet i'm not gonna mess up like this

whole shred again thing because i'm traveling right now and it was just like i felt so like strong and powerful because i'm like no i'm not gonna buy i'm not going to cave in to whatever foods around me just because I'm traveling. Like, no, I'm prepared for this and I'm good. And it was awesome. And I think that you're that way right now because you're locked into a goal by a certain time. Absolutely. And for a lot of other people, they might not have that strong of convictions towards an actual goal. have that strong of convictions towards an actual goal. But if you're listening to this and you're heavy and you're trying to make a change, I encourage you strongly to stick to your plan,

you know, stick to the diet, you know, follow me and try the no carbs till Christmas. You're going to have a lot of people that say, oh, you know, just, just kind of like let it go and just eat whatever. But for a lot of us, it's not safe out there. You know, it really, it really ain't man. Like it it's a it's a slippery slope you slip on that banana peel and you're down and you're fucking out and so uh you know i struggled with it for many years of trying to make these changes and i'd always go back and forth on what people said i was like man i should just i know i should i know in my heart that i should just stick to what i have planned for myself but but I shouldn't just enjoy this moment.

I should just enjoy the holidays or I should enjoy my birthday. But I was at the same time, I'm like, am I really like, why am I associating? Why am I associating that with joy? Like, I'll feel a little bit better about myself if I can reach this damn goal that I set for myself. And so, you know, try to think, try to think in those terms and try to, you know, try to, you don't have to be so crazy. I don't want people to try to end up with like, you know, the problems with their, their image and their, and their weight and stuff like that. But at the same time, you know, hold yourself to a high standard and think to yourself,

I'm going to enjoy this. I'm going to enjoy eating this way because you're really not, to think that you're missing out and to think that you're never going to have a piece of cake again, that's definitely the wrong way to look at it. But you're just, you're choosing not to eat it right now. And my dialogue has changed a lot.

Like even just if my nephews or somebody asked me about my food, I remember one time one of my nephews was like, oh, I'm surprised you're eating that. I thought you can't eat carbs. I was eating like a cookie or something. And I said, actually, I said, I can eat whatever I want. I just choose certain times to eat certain things. And that's a better way to look at it because I think everyone deserves a cheat meal. Everyone should have the right to eat some of the delicious foods that they really love. But if you're somebody that needs to get your act together and you need to get headed in the right direction, the worst thing you can do is derail yourself.

And it can just set you off in the wrong direction for too long. What was I about to ask you? Oh, okay. So somebody said this to me literally yesterday, and got me thinking about a little bit. He was like, are you sure that this is a good time for me to like start doing all of this like potential diet change stuff because it's the holidays. And it made me think for a second because I'm like, what's really different right now? Okay, you have Thanksgiving, which you might eat a little bit more. But then you have a full, what, 20-something days till Christmas. What are you doing now that's so different than January or every other part of the year that you can't start, you know?

So we – Yeah, you're just going to like bulk up the entire time i mean is this really game season yeah uh mark and i we always joke around about like people's excuses and i i have to mention this if i haven't if i did already whatever we it's worth mentioning twice talking to a friend said and they said they can't start their diet because there's a recall on romaine lettuce that's a good one i think that's the best one i've ever heard is it recalling romaine lettuce were they serious or was this like kind of a joke because i don't eat iceberg and i guess i could do the butter lettuce but then that just gets weird how about this i'm not going to start a diet until everyone gets all the science correct you know between the better

between the carnivores and the i'm going to wait till the dust is settles between if it fits your macros and all these other diets and then i'll and then i'll come in at the at the last hour and try whatever the science says man i just look at it like the year 20 never like when when i guess when you look from the top down and you see i guess how simple a lot of all this stuff is there's really no reason to push it off i can't think of a legit like can we think of a legitimate reason to really push something like that off, making a diet change. Is there a legitimate reason? There's actually, in my opinion, there's no good reason at all. Like even if you get sick, even if a family member gets sick, even if someone dies, I think – now you can allow yourself some slack and you can say, all right, well, something tragic happened And so I fell victim to the stress.

But those things, they're not going to help you. They're going to hurt you. They're going to make your situation worse, especially if you have a real tendency to overeat. So I think that's the, you know, you have to think, I mean, what's going to be the RX for any mental health problem ever? Exercise and nutrition. That's where it's going to start. And if it's not starting there, then you're being sold a bunch of bullshit, I think, because a lot of times the medications and stuff people are prescribed don't really help that much. It's going to have to be a combination of things that are going on. It's going to have to be a combination of disciplines that you learn to adhere to in

addition to getting help, in addition to those things. So I can't think of any reason on why you would, yeah, why you would wait. I also think that there's a practice of nutrition as well, which people don't really talk about that much. But I think that you should give yourself a little bit of leeway when you try a diet. You say, okay, well, for the first like two, three weeks, I'm just, and Seema told me that I'm supposed to eat kind of like these foods. I'm just going to start shopping for those foods. I'm going to try to eat those foods the majority of time, and I'm just going to do the best that I can with it. And hopefully I end up being 70 or 80% pretty good with it. And then when that time period is up, that two or three weeks is up, you can kind of reevaluate and say, shit, man, like I followed what he said to eat, but I lost like two pounds.

I wanted to, I was hoping I'd lose a little bit more. So I have to get more aggressive with it. Now I have to tighten it up more. Now I have to invest a little bit more time into what he told me specifically. But even that process takes a long time, takes a long time to figure out what to buy, where to buy it from, how to cook it. You know, what are your beliefs and what are they based on? And like, I was just listening to something the other day about nitrates. And if you remember,

Ken Berry basically said nitrates are kind of bullshit, like doesn't really matter. And you hear people always talk about quality meats and they're like, oh, if you're on a keto diet, you need to make sure you eat healthy fats. And then it's like, well, what are healthy fats? And then now there's a huge discrepancy on what healthy fats even are. For a little while, it was like you only got healthy fats through fish oil. Well, now there's a lot of people saying that healthy fats are saturated fats as well. It's hard to figure out what the hell is true and what the hell is not. But your own belief system is important.

It's important that like what you're purchasing is going along with whatever your beliefs are. If you believe that the grass fed beef is where it's at, then that's what you should go towards. then that's what you should go towards because your beliefs are gonna be so hard for anybody to derail you off of that. So if you think buying the no nitrate hot dog is better than the nitrate hot dog, or you think these minimally processed meats are better options for you

or that you need to buy stuff organically, these are all things you have to like work out and you have to go to the grocery store to figure out if you think the organic omega-3 eggs are worth your money or if they're not. There's a lot of shit that has to happen. Just telling someone to buy eggs, yeah, go eat a bunch of eggs. And you're like, well, wait, I heard that you can eat the white. And then somebody else told me they ate an egg yolk omelet. And then wait, should I have them with butter? Should I just use spray? Should I count the calories from the spray? Should I? And it's like, whoa, like everything just got to be a

little crazy. So there's a lot of experimentation. There's a lot of, um, a lot of trial and error that needs to happen. Even with somebody just handing you a sheet saying, Hey, here's what you need to eat. Yeah. What you said there, I think that's, that's when I think that one of the biggest things that paralyzes people, the, I guess the laundry list of things that they feel that they need to do to get

everything in check. Cause like it could start off being really simple. Like honestly, it starts off with the most people just don't eat these foods. Like just don't go here anymore. Just take this out of your house and eat this stuff. Right. Um, but exactly what do you think organic or non-organic are these meats? Okay. It's like, that's where people start getting like, ah, shoot, if I can't get this perfect now, why would I even try it? And what you said, like the 70, 80% thing is like, I was talking to one of my, one of my guys yesterday and he was like, you know, man, uh, for the past, I think, I think since we started, I've been maybe 50 to 60% on, and this is a guy that's trying to gain, right? And he's been gaining fine. Like he's been gaining muscle and gaining weight, but he's like, ah, if I really think about it, I've been 50 to 60%. He just told me this, But at the end of the day, like it's so much more progress than what he's done in the past.

And if it's knowing that it's just 50 to 60%, I'm just like, Hey, let's, Hey, what if we get 70 or 80? Yeah. Think about that. Right. But the thing is, it's like, he, he's definitely not perfect, but he's definitely moving in the right direction. We want to do as best as we can.

But I think if we can look at it that way, not trying to seek perfection, but just trying to seek betterment every, every single week, every single day, just a little bit better than we'll be in a good place. But when you're trying to go like, and it's good to go all in, but when you fail at going all in and you're maybe you don't, you're not where you want to be and you stop, that's where you kind of F up. Cause a lot of people are there. You know what I mean i mean if they're if things aren't going perfectly with the workout they'll quit for a week and maybe that'll turn into two weeks i think what you just said about like uh be five to ten percent better like yeah because if you would have told me you know starting 73 days whatever you know like you have 73 days to go from no abs

to having abs on Christmas. Be like, ah, fuck down. Like that's seems impossible. But if you said, Hey, like in two weeks, you're going to show some definition.

Like, okay, I'm pretty sure I could do that. Yeah. So it's like these baby steps instead of trying to put the whole thing all in one, like, and go right.

Well, we were only confident that we could help you due to your development and where you're at right now. Um, cause otherwise like, uh, stuff that we share on the show the only way for it to be fully implemented into your life would be for us to like move in with you you know because you're not going to do it all and it's going to be right it's gonna be hard and then you know we don't share everything on the show because we don't think of everything because some things are so nuanced or so elementary to us that we don't even really think about it anymore. Like if you tell someone to work up to a one rep max in a squat, there's a lot of people that don't even know what that means. They're like, well, what do I start out with?

Like should I warm up before I squat? Do I squat the bar? What's the progression look like? I've never tried a one rep max before, like a max max. Like, do I go until like I get hurt? Like, do I go until I like till the weight crushes me? Do I get a spotter? Like, you know, there's a lot of things, a lot of things to think about. So I think a lot of times when we, you know, give someone a nutrition protocol or give them a plan, I think a lot of times people just think, okay, well, that's just now set in stone.

And that's why my message, I try to give people stuff that's really simple. And then when I try to give people something that's so simple, some people get a little pissy about it because they're like, oh, well, what about this? And what about that?

And it's like, well, I have considered that. I understand that. But I'm just trying to break things down into a simple digestible form for people. Like I, I know that this is true. Like I know that if people adopted a one meal a day philosophy and cut way back on sugar, that they would lose weight. Those are like two rules. Like that's just two rules. That's just two things, you know know that people that are heavy that have struggled with their diet in the past forget being on a keto diet forget calorie counting and forget making everything so confusing weigh yourself every few days maybe even every day uh eat once a day eat

until you're content for 30 40 minutes is your eating window or whatever and uh you know just cut back on some of the sugar that you eat and you will lose weight. And then how you decide to go about doing that, how you decide to shape that, it's pretty much all on you. But you could have a big ass steak every night with a big baked potato or chicken and rice. I mean, there's a lot of different ways you can go about doing it. But if you want to kind of just really try to simplify all the shit that's going on is people just simply eat way too much. They eat way too much. They eat way too often.

Your body has all the mechanisms inside of it already to do everything that's supposed to do. The human body is designed to heal itself and to do stuff that's like magical every single fucking day. And we're blunting it by stuffing our faces all the time. I just listened to a guy this morning. His name is Jim Caldwell. He had a really cool story. He lost 180 pounds and he was on a YouTube channel called Six Miles to Supper. It's a female, has this YouTube channel where she explores all different kinds of stuff

about diet and nutrition. And she's a one meal a day proponent. I personally, I don't know how long I would be able to do one meal a day. It feels like it would be kind of hard for me to do. I have done it before and it feels good, but it sometimes doesn't feel like it's enough food for me. I feel like I feel like at a certain food for me. I feel like, um, I, I feel like at a certain point for me personally, that I might, uh, end up losing some muscle mass if I

did something like that. But again, I haven't really tried it for any extended period of time, but, um, it's just, there's a lot of options and you can really simplify things quite a bit. Um, we've given you a lot of options here. And, uh, even on the holidays, you can even like on a one meal a day, you could still eat whatever you want, you know, on a, on a holiday, if you followed some of these simple rules. Yeah, no, we were actually just talking about the one meal a day thing. Like I do one meal a day quite a bit, but I do notice that like, I can't do it every day. Like I, I know I could, but I, when I try to eat as much as I need to eat in that one meal, some days it's really difficult. I'm just like, okay, I need to, I need to open up that window and get into big meals so I can stomach all of that food. Um,

but I do wonder, like, I mean, if I did eat one big meal a day and let's just say it wasn't meeting the protein goals that I have for myself typically, right? I try to get in maybe 220, 230 a day. Let's say I only got in. I wonder if I really only got in maybe 160, 170 grams of protein a day, if everything would maintain or if I would start to lose. Because technically, if we look at all the research, I'd start to lose. But I don't really know about that. I think your body would shift into whatever you need.

I really think it would. I think it would adapt because if we think of things like the recommended daily allowance of something like vitamin C, well, vitamins, the amount of, I forget what this is called, but the amount of vitamin C that you need changes drastically depending on your nutrition, depends on what you eat. We even heard people say crazy shit on this podcast before that we unfortunately didn't dive into, but we need to dive into on a future podcast is your tolerance for the sun changes. You can have a higher tolerance for the sun if you don't eat carbohydrates.

And you eat fat and you have vitamin E and vitamin D and vitamin K. And you have these fat soluble vitamins in your system flowing throughout your system. You can stay in the sun a lot longer and you don't, you know, you don't necessarily need to put skin protection on for every five seconds that you're out in the sun. And that's something that until Dr. Berry mentioned it on the podcast, it was something I was like, oh my God, that is really weird. Like I don't put sunscreen on ever. Like not anymore.

Like unless I know, like I have a day where I'm like gonna be blazing in the sun the whole day. Like if I was to go to like an amusement park or something with my kids or something like that, I'm like, oh, well, it just makes sense for me to put it on my neck so I don't get like burned or whatever.

But I'd go to the beach, I'd lay out. I mean, even when I'd lay out, I wouldn't put anything on because I'm like, I'm just going to get some sunlight. And I already knew I wasn't going to be out there as long, but I used to get burned all the time. I used to get burnt like a critter. I would turn pretty red almost immediately from being in the sun for any period of time. So I think that the human body is, it's made and designed to adjust to whatever's going on. Even like there's, you know, we've heard of people talking about your overall movement, just movement of your hands and

fidgeting that you do goes down. If you start to do a lot of cardio and if you start to not eat as much, your neat goes down, your, um, was it non-exercise, right? Activity thermogenesis. There you go.

But I would say the reverse is probably true. Like, you know, if you, if you're, if you're giving your body the nutrients and stuff that it needs on a daily basis from all the way from the macronutrients to the micronutrients, you're feeding your body, you're feeding the cells what it needs,

I think your body's naturally going to want to be more productive. It's naturally going to be like, hey, we should go do something. We kind of have an abundance of energy. We should go fucking film a podcast or something. So I think that your body is going to adapt and adjust to just about anything. that you know like your body is going to adapt and adjust uh to just about anything you know i saw i just got actually first off we didn't get to ask you how your thanksgiving was but oddly enough and i talked to cody about this too um a little bit i got sick the day before thanksgiving and it's been a long time since i've gotten sick like a long time i think i had i got

i probably got a flu like one of those 20 hour flus. Cause I got body aches, um, like tough, but like I was body aches and I had to like, I was literally in bed for 20 hours. I didn't, I didn't leave. I just stayed in bed literally all day. Cause I could barely like do anything. I tried to get up and work a little bit and I was just like, fuck, I sat back in bed. I just stayed there. But I did like try to, I did go and get some food and I looked up something cause I was like, I wonder like if you crave something or if there's certain foods that are better for like when you're sick or something. Because when I was sick, I was like really, really, really, I wanted a lot of carbs. Like I wanted a lot of carbs and I'm just like, but why is it that right now i'm really like my like i

could feel it i'm just like when i think about meat i don't really want meat but i want a fuck ton of carbs right now so like that's what i did i got a lot of rice i went i got a i got a milkshake from cold stone that was thick and it was big and i drank that shit and i had my rice and i was like oh i feel so good and then i went back to sleep but the next day when i was healthy like i was good i didn't like really feel that anymore but i wonder like when you say your body knows what it needs only in sema would get sick and have a milkshake to fix it no but was there something is there like was there something there that was beneficial for me while i was sick i'm wondering about that I haven't really heard much information on this,

but like, I would say there's probably at least one things that play when you're sick as a kid, you know, and you stay home from school, mom makes you like soup and something else. Probably, she probably really placates to you and makes you something that you'll enjoy. You know, like if, if your favorite thing is Mac and cheese, she's going to make that for you. So maybe, maybe it's just something like you're uncomfortable and you just want to be comfortable. So you're like, I want that. But I think also the human body is very intuitive and I think it probably does lead you to the right stuff. Maybe you just crave a little bit more sugar and maybe you crave a little bit more salt.

And I know like even with like a dog, a dog will sometimes like eat grass because it's not getting the nutrients that it needs from like the food that you're feeding it. It's like why is my dumbass dog eating grass all the time? That's because the dog is actually really smart and it shouldn't be eating grass really. But it's like I need to get these nutrients from somewhere. I'm hungry. I need this. And your body probably does something similar. When you're sick, I know for myself, it's the same way.

I kind of crave fruit. I want like, and I think that that kind of maybe goes back to when I was a kid, you're kind of thinking like the vitamin C is going to like make some sort of huge difference and that you're going to drink orange juice and you're going to all of a sudden be fine. Yeah. But, you know, there probably is something else at play there. I wonder when you have the flu, I wonder what kind of impact it has on your, uh, your like glycogen levels and your, or your blood glucose levels rather, and your insulin and stuff like that. Yeah. I was just like, so curious,

why do I feel this way right now? Why do I want this right now? But who knows? We'll find the answer sooner or later, but yeah. How was your Thanksgiving? Cause I don't think you, it was good, man. I had a lot of fun. We, um, we we went to bodega bay we had a lot of family there um my mother-in-law came out my sister-in-law was there her kids were there um my brother-in-law came with his children so we had a lot of kids flying around and then i think it was the day after Thanksgiving. We had more people come over the house and they brought their kids and it was just like got to be chaotic. You know, that's when there was like a couple meltdowns happen. Couple kids, you know, like a kid when they're crying so bad that it just makes them cry more. And they're just like, you can't get them out of it.

You know, most of the time you can't even breathe. Yeah. Yeah. It can't breathe. Yeah. Most of the time you can kind of like snap a kid out of it and you can be like hey like check out this toy or like oh yeah hey come check this thing out and they can be like totally fine but there was a couple uh little meltdowns like that but everything was good food was good

um we had uh turkey and the next day we had ham but I was still cooking up my steaks and still eating those things. Um, and, uh, I was gone for a few days. And so for like out of that, well, I was gone for a bunch of days. I left, um, a little bit early, like I left last week and then I came and ended up coming back for like a day or two, um, from bodega. But yeah, I had a great time and I love, you know, just kind of the freedom to sort of do like it feels like I can kind of do whatever I want because I don't have the responsibilities of doing anything here. And then I feel like in terms of like exercise, I feel like I'm not held down to doing anything exercise wise either. When I'm here, I feel like the obligation of like I got

to go in and train like that's what I do. Right. when i'm out in bodega i just a lot of times i'll just walk or i'll walk and run and i'll be like well that's good enough you know exercise for today i think um multiple days i walked over five miles so i was like well that's you know that's good enough for today and i did lift while i was up there but i wasn't like i need to lift every day or or anything like that i was like my body can probably use the rest and i'll just go lift weights when i feel like it so yeah i had a great time that sounds awesome yeah i like that uh i tried to explain that that freedom feeling to stuff like without having it like hurt her feelings but i'm like yeah i like doing stuff that doesn't impact anybody else like what do you mean like if i want to get up and like like hey guys we're jumping in the car we're going to meet mark and bodega i don't like having to be like oh like can this person come

like what what time can they go what you know right like so like you know some people like to recharge when you're completely by yourself and other people get recharged by having more people around them i'm definitely like i like to be a loner sometimes so i i totally get that mark and i think that's great that you're able to you know kind of break away for a little bit yeah i just uh i think you know i i think by nature i don't talk a ton like in social settings. I'm not – it depends on who I'm with I guess. But I'm not like our friend Wayne. Wayne can go and talk to anybody, right? He's called me twice since we've been on.

Seriously? Seriously. Yeah. I mean there are certain people that are really talkative and really good in social settings. And I'm not bad, but it's not something I don't really crave it and then what do I end up doing like kind of for a living is like talking and communicating and so sometimes I just want to like lift and sometimes I just want to like be quiet sometimes I just want to do some shit on my own so it felt really good you know I don't

I don't it was like maybe the last day i was here when i went to bed i was like fuck man like when i go to bed i'm like i'm done you know i'm i'm i don't have any trouble like falling asleep that's really never an issue for me i do wake up a bunch and that's something i'm still working on trying to fix but um to um, to get to bed, I'm fucking toast. And I, before I lay my head down on the pillow, I'm like, I fucking gave today everything I got. Like, I, I feel like I put, I don't feel like drained from it. I'm not like, Oh man, like I'm glad today's over. I just really feel like I gave it my best effort. I'm like, I put a hundred percent in today. Like that's, you know, that's, I feel like I'm doing pretty good. And I felt like that for the last, like several weeks. And then I was

just like, it'll be really good to get away for a little bit. It'll feel really good just to get away and, and, and not feel like I have to, um, be a hundred percent for anybody other than myself. So that's kind of the biggest difference. And then just like, you know, little stuff though too. Like I miss my kids. Like I can't be away from my kids for more than like two days. And I'm like, should I want to like see what they're doing or whatever, even though they're probably not doing anything,

probably just on their phone or whatever. I just want to like hang out with them, you know? But yeah, from a food perspective, i stayed on point with the food um on days i didn't feel like fasting i just didn't fast um we were cooking up a lot of breakfast uh in my house so i was just like damn that bacon and sausage and eggs smells really good i'm just gonna eat it and so the freedom on that stuff was was good too anybody ask you about the carbs that like family and stuff when they notice what you're eating? Everyone's so used to it that they don't really ask much stuff about it anymore.

But they're all pretty supportive of it. And they're all like, well, I want to do that. And some of them are like, well, like, fuck it. I'm just going to eat some of the stuff that we have here today. And that's why I try to throw out challenges to people just to give people something to kind of like hold on to or something to do. And we were just talking about stuff actually while we were eating Thanksgiving dinner. And I was like, I was like, let's just do like, we were talking about how much we like ribeyes. I'm like, let's just do, you know, three ribeyes for the next three days, you know, a day or two after Thanksgiving. Cause most people probably screwed up and let's see how that goes.

And I, I've been actually doing that, but it's been too hard. It's, it's been too hard to eat three ribeyes. I've only been eating two. That's why Sean Baker just surprises me. Oh man. He eats like four pounds of meat every day. Don't understand it that man. That's amazing. Yeah. I think he, I think, uh, he's just savage. It's all there is to it. Um, yeah, I, you know, I kind of, uh, I get like palate fatigue. I do look forward to the meals every day, but sometimes when you eat that amount of, eat that amount of nutrients, eat that amount of like fat and calories and kind of a sitting, you're just like, wow, pretty, pretty damn satisfied. And you don't, I don't feel like the need to do that, you do that three times a day.

But the reason why I threw it out there for people to do it three times a day is just because I don't think it's a good place for people to be if they haven't really dieted before that they deal with a lot of hunger. That's something that takes time to get used to. It takes a couple weeks to get used to that. Since I've been fasting, I can't stop peeing like crazy what is that all about i can't stop doing what i can't stop peeing oh like i pee like every so like on this road trip i peed like 15 times on the way from mentioned that peed montes yeah but no cole

mentioned that yeah he said like a lot of his um a lot of his clients that do multiple day fast they report i can't stop paying yeah yeah so your uh your your kidneys are um secreting more uh sodium because your insulin levels are uh moderate to low because because your glucose levels are coming down. You're eating less. I mean, the whole point of intermittent fasting is to lower your insulin levels. That's not the entire point of it, but that's one of the huge benefits of it is to lower your insulin levels. So you're lowering your insulin levels.

You're also lowering your glucose and you're also kind of lowering your overall intake of food. And so there's, there's less, uh, for your food to stick to. So your requirement for water is, is not that high, especially cause it's also cold out. Um, which I always warn people of cramps when it's cold out. Cause a lot of times people don't drink any water at all, cramps and headaches and stuff like that. But, um, um so yeah you might just not not need as much water but you feel like you don't have anything else to fucking do and so you carry around a water bottle with you because you don't have you're not supposed to eat food you're like oh i shouldn't have too much coffee and like you just have all these thoughts in your

head so i'm like you're like i'll just carry around this water bottle with me all day and next thing you know you're peeing every 10 seconds yeah that's how it's been yeah yeah so like i'll do coffee in the mornings um probably one to two cups just because it does help with the uh the hunger and then like salt water throughout the day but like i also i feel like i can't quench the thirst and like i but i still feel like, dude, I can't stop peeing. This is weird. You probably do need to try to maybe drink a little less water, and you might be, like

Cole was saying, people are water addicted. They continue to flood themselves with water, and you get so used to it that- That makes some sense, because yeah, I do feel like feel like no i need some more because like i'm like i'm thirsty like i don't want to get ahead like i haven't gotten any headaches this whole time which is great but like i just feel like oh i'm i'm supposed to stay hydrated or like i mean because you've seen me when i cramp up right like my legs and yeah yeah yeah like just doing the step mill like i can feel my right quad like it kind of will start twitching throughout the day. Like, hey, what's up?

So I feel that and then I'm like, oh, no, I'm drinking all this water and I'm just peeing it straight out. So maybe I need to get more water in. But even with that said, I'm probably not drinking, like I'm not drinking a gallon a day or anything like that. It's just, I'll just really just not wear it out, but just like, man. is just i'll just really just not wear it out but just like a potato a potato instead of rice might help a lot because it's just going to be potassium you know rice is just unfortunately rice is just carbs and doesn't have much else going on with it so something like that can help but they've done studies where they've had people like lower their sodium levels like to really really low levels because they used to think sodium,

you know, had this huge negative impact on your blood pressure. And it kind of can, but it's from reasons that are different than what they originally thought. Sodium can just make you, it can make you hold water. And then when you hold more water, your blood pressure usually is elevated with lower amounts of sodium. You have, you have less, uh, you're, you have less like pressure in your body, have less water in your body, less retention of water. Um, but if you go too low on your sodium, then your, your body is so fucking smart that because your insulin levels go down, your glucose levels go down, your insulin levels go down, your kidneys secrete sodium and you start peeing a lot more, but your body is so smart that it will actually elevate the insulin levels back up because it's like, Hey dude, like you're not giving us what we need. So in order to hold on to any sodium that's anywhere, your body's like, yo, you need to fucking stop like with this not eating bullshit. And we need to, we need to hold on to

all the nutrients that we have. That's why I've been telling people all this shit will auto regulate like the amount of vitamins and minerals that you need. If it's so it's, it's insane. I mean, you could probably, you can probably chop it down about 20% of what it is because you probably don't really actually need any of that. Because if you start to reduce the amount of food that you take in, your body will hold on to the nutrients better. It will make better usage of the food that it has. The human body is a fucking crazy machine.

It's really insane. But anyway, that's part of the reason why you're pissing your pants every year. The human body is a fucking crazy machine. It's really insane. But anyway, that's part of the reason why you're pissing your pants everywhere. It's so bad. Yeah. So right before we left the house, peed, got to Stephanie's parents' house, which is like 10 minutes away, peed. First gas station, which was five minutes away, peed again. First coffee shop, same stop, peed again.

Wow. Like an hour later, peed again. I also think that might be part of the fat burning process too. I also think you might be peeing some of it out. Yeah, it's funny. We were just mentioning that right now in the chat room over here. I was like, yeah, I hope I'm peeing out fat. Yeah, I think it's secreted from your body multiple ways, but I forget what the information is on that.

I forget if it's like sweat and breath and things like that, but I think it could come through your urine as well. Making you Mr. Pee-pee pants. I'm still so curious because that podcast with Andy Galvin, he mentioned a little bit and they didn't go on because apparently they were doing some research about like breathing through your nose and potentially burning more fat because of that. I wonder still. What? Okay.

Back to the peeing. Yeah, you're peeing a lot. You probably like Mark said need to drink less water. Probably need to drink less water. Okay. Because actually, you know what? I kind of realize that like i do drink quite a bit of water but i don't drink as much as i used to i'm not carrying the

gallon around like i used to so yeah and i sweat a lot like a jujitsu and sauna and whatever i just it's like i drink as much as i need but not i don't think i'm drinking a gallon a day anymore yeah i'm also trying to get rid of like that like weird keto hunger breath my girl uh complained to me about that the other day oh because i was she was like your breath's kind of jacked i'm like what i've never said this to me before yeah i think it's that i think uh there's like this amplified fasting caffeine breath that happens oh yeah when you fast the breath starts it smells like the inside of you is dying it's it's kills kills everybody that's okay i think it's gotten better for me though like it's not as potent as it was when i first started maybe because there's less death inside of me the key is just to be taller than everybody that way they don't have to you know exhale

upward yeah like if you're as tall as shack you can have the worst breath ever, right? Oh, yeah. It wouldn't bother anybody. Man, Shaq and, yeah, Thor and his lady, Shaq and his lady, that stuff still is just so surprising. So wild. It's like they're the third of their size. Oh, no, it's pretty crazy.
