Just pissed me off the way he was just like, ah, if you're old, you probably should still get everything. People are probably wondering, what is Andrew talking about right now? So you got to start from the beginning. No, I don't want to because I don't want to. I don't know if they're still censoring shit. Oh, yeah. You won't be censored. I won't.

It's fucking Cinco de Mayo, bro. There's no rules. You get a free pass today. And then we went too far, guys. No, we didn't go too far literally no no no at my grandmother's is that racist i'm sorry it wasn't it wasn't let me tell you something a little bit okay that was what you did the mexican it was kind of okay no no no no everyone loves it though i can't wait for owen to get the footage because my grandma's birthday party oh when we were when everyone was dancing all the africans are dancing one thing we do is we go we do that shit when everyone's dancing in a group

so it's like it's a cultural thing yeah but we literally go but we do that but like if if i did it like it'd be like uh sir if you got in on the party and you were like oh no you'd be part of it if i miss it we'd be like let's go andrew everyone just stops and looks at andrew still the only one dancing like oh i thought we were this is this is like uh crip walking yeah like what in the fuck is that guy who brought this guy dog i think that if the p okay you can only it's only a problem if the people that were within the culture are like dog that's wrong andrew was me doing the ayayaya problem i'm just fucking with you okay then my boy here thinks it's okay it's okay and was mark doing the cucarachaacha was that that was good hey i'm all for it we're celebrating let's go yeah the day that my

great great great great uncle fucked up the french he legit was he was that cinco de mayo's history yeah so the uh battle of puebla why why the french aren't they people of love they are now because they got their ass cut. Because they weren't good at that shit. So they're like, let's try something different. General Ignacio Zaragoza was the one leading that fight. Fuck yeah. Really?

Swear. So that's really your uncle? I'm going to claim it. Yeah, no, that's family. Are we going to have him on the show? He's probably not doing much these days. Probably retired. Yeah, check in with him. Wait, pause. Is he alive?

No, there's no way. Okay, okay. I don't know the date. I know it's like the 1800s or something. Yeah, I couldn't tell you the date either, but no, he's toast. But one thing, so I just walked into this bathroom. Reminded me yesterday when I walked in the bathroom after you and after you blew it up and I was like oh god but then I don't it just I got a flashback we were I think we were flying

back from either Atlanta or from Ohio to Atlanta from the Arnold I'm like dozing off I can't sleep on the plane so like I kind of doze off and then I snap out of it. Doze off, snap out of it. I'm dozing off. And then something just like slaps me across the face. So what the fuck? I'm looking down. I'm like, dude, there's like a ghost in here or something. All of a sudden the heat rose and I'm like,

Oh my God, dude, there's like spoiled meat or something's going on. What the fuck? And I look over at in SEMA and he has the biggest smile on his face. Dude, you ripped ass so bad on the plane and I got a flashback yesterday when I went to the bathroom I was like oh my god it smells the

same it was so bad it had heat to it dude no it was so weird because I thought something was physically there like I couldn't it was it was strange dude it was oh look at that you didn't even spill. Yeah, no. It's a little warm. Dude, I love watching you make your concoctions every day. You got Bubz collagen protein. You had some within you.

This is the whey protein in there as well. It's a thicky. And the salted caramel. So every day I do the MCT oil powder and now I do the collagen protein and then the... Yeah, because we got 60 days, right? 60 days right 60 days challenge salted caramel within you uh hydration it's so good you know um i did the mcto this morning at home so i didn't want to double it up because i don't want to shit my pants too much mct but um yeah man not like you know we had sean from bubs on and he was like dude

do the collagen for like do the collagen consistently. Because collagen protein is like creatine. It's one of those things you don't really feel, but you know how effective it can probably be. So because you don't feel it like you do pre-workout, you don't take it consistently. So I'm going to start taking this collagen consistently because Gabrielle Lyon has also been like collagen protein is super beneficial. You can look young like me if you keep up on that collagen, Zima. You're getting all those comments, Mark. Don't let it get to your head, bro.

You know, over time, as you get older, your body stops making as much collagen as it used to and some of the byproducts of collagen. So why not mix it in? Why not give it a shot? Tell them how they can save on some of the bubs. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so pick up some collagen protein over at bubsnaturals.com and then at checkout, enter promo code POWERPROJECT

to save 20% off your entire order. Seriously, the collagen protein, I do three scoops right now. It's so cool. You watch it just dissolve into the coffee. It just fades into nothing. See how he slipped that in there, how he does three scoops? I do scoops he's he's always touting that

he's better than us no i did two scoops this morning and two scoops right now okay okay see so i'm better than you that's well i mean how are we like really is that the metric well because sean had said like or or I think it was TJ, like about the, like filling up this whole gas tank or whatever. And so he was like telling you to do four scoops or 40 grams. So I'm like, well, I'm going to do 30 grams because I want to be close. So yeah, I do.

I do 30 grams and then I do the MCT oil powder and it's freaking delicious. Highly recommend it again. Uh, bubsnaturals.com promo code power project to save 20% off your order. Highly recommend it.

Yeah. Really, really cool that they shared all that. And it was great to have those guys in person. And then, like, what a blockbuster of a day. I have, like, this weird thing about, like, how's that? It's all over your face bro alright yo guys you got this

this is so clutch in this this and the protein because the collagen protein is unflavored but then vanilla this is the way it tastes really good and coffee dog it's like i have to slow myself down and then listen guys guys a one sipper it is a one sipper but this is the thing i think bubs whenever they send out product they send this with it this is actually necessary because

anything i've done it with a knife put that thing on your butthole too it's amazing of course you would which side though like just for the vibration or for the twisties yes okay yo this this is necessary to mix it really well though because i've mixed it with a spoon and a knife before it you get clumps yeah you get clumps this no clumpiness if you do it in a shaker cup that bitch explodes yeah oh yeah because of the heat yeah that's dangerous as fuck hope i didn't make you lose your train of thought i forgot where you were it doesn't matter i'll come up with something talking about how crazy that day was oh yeah you know i i uh oftentimes i'll i'll book like multiple things speak just

because like a lot of times nothing works out like that's been my experience, uh, kind of, uh, over the years being somebody who's in this like fitness space. I'm like, yeah, I'll book this and book that and book this and book that. And, uh, sometimes we'll all three of us will look at the calendar and go, Oh my God, we got Monday through Friday. We're pretty booked. Yeah. And, uh, every once in a while, something will fall through. Um, but I don't, I'm not even afraid to book a bunch of stuff on the same day. And then this Monday, we had a bunch of high-level people here that were high-level performers outside the gym. And they all followed through. They all showed up.

So we had Kalipa here. We had Tom Segura. And we had the people from Bubs. But it all worked out great. I got to work out with Tom Segura. Everybody got to meet him. I've actually been helping him with his diet and stuff like that now. So that's been really interesting.

We're going back and forth a lot, and I'm excited for that. But we also got a great workout in with Jason and with the group of the Bubz people. So it all worked out in the end, even though we were kind of slightly overbooked. You know, you wonder something with Tom Zagora because you can see that he has a good build. Like, he used to be bigger, but now he's getting into better shape.

He's handsome. He's tall. So what happens if he gets into really good shape? Is he still as funny? I think so. No, he's fucking hilarious. He's hilarious. He's a funny comic because Chris D'Elia is in pretty good shape, right? And he still as funny i think so he's hilarious he's hilarious he's a funny comic because chris d'alia is in pretty good shape right and he's he's been funny some people

don't like him anymore because the little thing that happened but is he out of that is he uncounted he's kind of out of he's kind of out of that like some people will still mention it but he's he's kind of out of that and at the end of the day with chris they were freshly 18 not my cup of tea hey you know what uh but his cup of tea was oj simpson a good football player he was now he killed him he was a good football player he committed murder is chris talia funny he's funny very funny he's funny does r kelly make amazing music stop that's what you need to end it i'm just saying i am just saying yeah no oh my god we can keep going just keep that's the goal of this show is always rolling downhill as fast as we can oh oh it is rough because r kelly did have some bops you know what i mean he fucking crushed. And you hear it and then you start bopping your head and you're like, wait, he peed on girls.

No, pause. You're like, what the fuck's wrong with this guy? You know what I mean? It's tough. Can you separate an artist from their art? Can you? Well, I think a lot of artists are going to, a lot of them are going to be very, very different types of people. Flawed individuals.

Very different types of people than maybe what we're used to. They're going to have different lifestyles. Watching like the grizzly bear thing or the grizzly man. Do you guys ever see that? I've heard of it. I haven't watched it. The documentary. I was watching that last night and this dude was fucking different.

He had like this bleach blonde hair and, uh, he was was out in the wilderness trying to, like, live with bears. Like, this guy, like, at a certain point, I think he thought he was a bear. And he, like, wanted that life for himself because he loved animals so much that he, I think he loved the simplicity of, like, the animalistic nature of animals. But unfortunately, like, it's a fucking bear you know and so he um there's a lot of consequences obviously that that go along with that and and that kind of look how big that fucking bear is he's getting these shots by the way the shots that you see right here he's getting these videos and he's within hand's reach of these animals how did he die he got eaten by a bear he did yeah take one guess oh man it's it's not like a spoiler because they talk about it like right off the bat in the

movie they're very early on they talk about um but anyway like back to your question of like can you separate out you know what somebody uh does and what makes them them somebody that comes to the forefront, somebody that's well-known, can you separate that out from the way that they are normally? I think you kind of almost have to in some cases because I think that

we're human beings and we get pretty judgmental. Yes. And we're like, why doesn't that guy believe in God? Why is that guy, you know, why is that guy,

why'd that guy have, Elon Musk seems amazing, right? But he's also been married like five or six times. And it's like, who are we to judge that stuff? So can I separate out, maybe, who the fuck knows what his issues with marriage are, but they didn't work well, and he's had to move on to something else. I'm not going to really overly judge him for that, there might be people that do probably do that probably do judge him for that

seems like he's a pretty successful guy seems like there's a lot to learn from seems like he's got a lot of good information like he's trying to uh he sees human beings as being multi-planet species you know and so i think you kind so I think we kind of have to separate out some of these different things that people are going to express in their day-to-day. Yeah, it's tough. It's like you think about even Tyson. Even your shirt.

Right? You know, I think he had a problem with women as well. Yeah. But it makes you think of like Tyson because Tyson now, everybody loves Tyson. But you remember in the past, I think he might, I think he did go to jail.

He went to jail for a sexual, like I guess rape, I guess is, would be the term. I don't know if that's a, if we're wrong, what he's booked for, but yeah,

somebody on our eyes correct us. But like, and it was to a chick that had falsely accused someone else previously. Right, right, right. You see, we'll get into that shit in a minute though.

Yeah, but you see that? Kobe ended up in a similar situation. Kobe did end up in a similar situation. I don't know all the details, but I think with his situation, he didn't he went to trial. He didn't go to jail. It was settled. But I think

they ended up giving the individuals like a lump sum and it kind of died. Who the hell knows? Right? Who the hell knows? But that's the thing. It's like with a lot of these situations, you don't know what's true. And especially nowadays, you see it happening with the current trial with the debt.

But I was having a conversation with my girl the other day. I was like, it's tough because we are having a conversation with somebody else that she knows. But it's tough when these types of things are brought up because the narrative currently is you must believe, like, believe women. Right? And especially when somebody is saying something so egregious, you would want to believe that somebody wouldn't lie about being abused or lie about being raped. Yeah, it seems so harmful to other people that have actually been in that situation. But we can't neglect the understanding that there are people who will weaponize this because they know that that is something that is egregious.

That like, especially with Me Too and everything, that is something that, you know, if you say that about somebody, that is egregious that like especially with me too and everything that is something that you know if you say that about somebody that could ruin their life and there are some people out there who are so fucked up that they'll use that against somebody even though it's a bold-faced lie as you're seeing with amber heard yeah and with uh yeah with amber heard and johnny depp i think maybe she thought that he was going to, you know, open up that can of worms because they weren't going to be together any longer. And maybe she's said it earlier than him. You know,

I don't know. She didn't even know. This is, this is a wild thing with that case, man. The whole thing, when it was, I think it was 2018 or whatever,

pinnacle of me too. Uh, at the time, Amber Heard came out and she did a wild speech and she's like it was when you watch it it's like super cringy but she's like i too have suffered sexual abuse blah blah blah and it's time for us to rise blah blah blah right and then it ends up that she's the fucking abuser right she's the one who laid hands she's the one who threw something through a fucking bottle at this man's hand and chopped off his finger she's the one who was the fucking abuser

right and he didn't fucking touch her but because he was a man and and because of how how crazy this stuff can get disney canceled all his shit um they canceled the pirates of the caribbean or whatever they there's enough though there's enough of those movies there's enough of those movies but still like like he lost multiple contracts with different groups because of an allegation before it was proven and now in court you're seeing that this this woman is the liar i'm sorry this bitch is the liar she's a fucking liar and it annoys me because because i know i know people who've done this type of shit you know what i mean and it sucks because you want if somebody comes forward and says something like this you

want to believe them but in my mind these days i don't take a side until there's proof and until there's there's there's there's proof behind it because it could be that this person's telling the truth but it could be that this person is telling the truth, but it could be that this person is lying and trying to tarnish this other individual. It's amazing, too, that it took from 2018 until now to people start to go to court over these things. Yeah, it makes sense what you said, though. She obviously knew what she did. So she's like, I have to get out in front of it

and be the first one to say that he's the one that actually hit me. The thing is, too— Because when he comes back with a defense, no, you hit me. It's like, wait, no out in front of it and be the first one to say that he's the one that actually hit me the thing is too because when he comes back with the defense no you hit me it's like wait no no it was the other way around dog did you hear the audio recordings of like okay attention to any of it this this is why this is truly fucked up there's an audio recording of her on the phone with him saying that yeah go ahead and try to say i I, Johnny Depp, am a victim of physical abuse and see who believes you. She said that. And they played that in court. They played it in court, bro.

They also played an audio recording in court of her saying that they were having a conversation. And Johnny was like, you fucking punched me. And then Amber's like, I didn't punch you. I may have hit you. Wasn't with a closed fist. Yeah, I hit you. Okay. Are you hurt hit you. It wasn't with a closed fist. Yeah, I hit you. Okay. Are you hurt?

Little, like she, she, they went back and forth on that. So you know who the abuser is, but that's, that's truly fucking disgusting. Yeah. Were they able, like, did they, were they able to like actually play that and use that as evidence in court? Yeah. Okay. Cause I've heard that when you record somebody and they're not aware of

it you have to throw it out yeah no they they used all of that in court they use all that and there's there's there's uh why is it still going well she's now on the stand talking about things but like man it's she's she's it's all really interesting because like i have to admit i don't didn't know anything about the situation now i I still don't know much about it. But it's like because Johnny Depp is suing her, it drew more attention to it. I think a lot less people would know about it. I guess maybe the argument from his side and from lawyers' side and people that are in favor of keeping his career going would say,

look, all of Hollywood knows about this and we need to kind of clear the air for you to continue to, cause you are losing out on money. Um, but also like when you're worth $300 million, it's like, I don't know,

like, I don't know. I'm not in his shoes. So I'm just kind of think like, I just wouldn't want to draw further press to it. So I might, I might try to take the low road and just be like, let me just cruise on out of this.

And three, four years from now, no one's really going to remember much about this. He's suing her for $50 million in defamation. And she countersued him for a hundred million dollars in defamation. So, so imagine like, imagine thinking in your head, though,

like this is a very irrational thing. The money thing is the thing, right? Them suing each other. But imagine, does this lawsuit assist him in getting more roles in the future? I would say probably not. It's just dragging himself and her through the mud. Probably not great for either party.

Does this court case somehow clear the air of like who he is and how he acts i don't believe so because it's like he said she said and uh i don't know how much like real evidence there is on anything so i would just think that i again i'm not in that situation i have no idea what it would be like but i would just think that i would rather like just be like hey i just don't want to publicize this any further yeah from what i mean i could be misremembering but like he's he's fucking johnny depp so he can't go anywhere right like he can't go to the grocery store he can't go to fucking starbucks like people are all over him anytime he steps out of his house so he he has like, I don't know, like several houses in LA. Like he just bounces from house to house.

He has houses for a lot of other fucking people. So again, I'm not saying he's hurting for money, but I'm pretty sure they had a plan for his future and then this really fucks that up. So maybe they're trying to get that back on track because, I mean, you're right. He's worth 300 million million but like how much of that million you know is actually available yeah you gotta always keep making money yeah and you're right like right now apparently like he does have a lot of debts to pay or whatever but the crazy thing is they were only married for 15 months i didn't know they're married they

were married for 15 months 15 months remember this she tried in the divorce she wanted him to pay her i love that it's even know so much about this this is like my favorite thing 14 million dollars tax free that's what she wanted him to pay her like a lump sum tax free so like he he actually needed to give her like 20 like he actually needed to put forward 20 something million but she wanted 14 million tax free like like dog no the reason do you think that like elon musk and hit and johnny depp like talk do you think like musk was like yo dude like i know that's some good pussy but let me tell you something dog amber heard a pair of that that must that must be some good box because like it has elon musk

james franco like uh she's had some other just like wild celebs. You know the dudes are like watching the news and watch this court case and they're like, yup. Yup. They're like, shit, dodged a bullet there. Dog, you mentioned it before though. Devil pussy. Yeah.

Little horns come out. It's like, hello. How are you doing? I thought that was a landing strip those were horns no dude the reason why number one i'm paying attention to this case a lot is because i've like i've dealt with an ex that uh thought it was okay to lay hands right i've dealt with that before and i've never i've i've talked to you guys about this before but the amount of guys who i know who have i've i never laid any hands or whatever i never would lay hands on a woman

but you look at me i'm six two 250 pound black guy i'm the person who people are gonna think is the and i do jujitsu is the physically one is the physical one. But I dealt with a person, a woman who I dated for a while who thought it was okay. And she had her traumas and all that shit in the past. But when things got hairy, she laid hands and I thank God I have the texts. I thank God I have the texts because it's like, it's never okay for a man to lay hands on a woman.

But I tell you, man, the amount of guys who I've talked to who are like, yeah, I mean, my girl slapped me before this and that. It's like, dog, it's never okay for anyone to lay hands on anyone, no matter what. Like, people really need to learn how to bring down situations. Like, it's tough. You know, I know sometimes people yell and whatever, but it's never fucking okay. If you're a woman, it's never okay to i know sometimes people yell and whatever but it's never fucking okay if you're a woman it's never okay to lay hands on a guy if you're a guy it's never okay to lay hands on a woman you don't just don't do that shit but i was in that type of relationship for a while right so that's why i'm paying so much attention to this because

if my if if the person i was with ever said something like that, I know that people would believe her because of what she looks like and what I look like. Thank God I have the proof. But at the end of the day, it's like men who don't have the proof. And if somebody, if somebody accuses somebody of doing something as a man,

you're going to get the shit under the stick most of the time. Like you have to be so fucking careful. Number one, you don't't be a don't be a fucktard and lay hands on a woman but number two if you're ever if you're a man who's ever in a situation with a woman who's actually physically like she hits you or whatever get the fuck out of that situation because that's dangerous for you bro it's dangerous for you it's probably just going to escalate and then you can kind of see like oh well you know i had to push her away and it's like and then you know that's it then you're physical on them and like i mean imagine if a woman like did hit you for several months maybe maybe a couple years go by all right and then one time you're you get you get heated too and you make contact and you really hurt them.

You know, now you're, I mean, people are going to be like, oh, well, you know, come on. Like the guy is way bigger, way stronger. Like, you know, what are you doing doing that? You know, and it just the whole thing like this, this case in particular, again, it fascinates me a little bit because I would think that you would want to just have this thing diffuse. Putting stuff in court is an interesting thing. It's not like it exonerates you from anything. He might win money and he might win the court case, but aren't like yeah he's got his shit together i think people are like his life's a fucking mess yeah and so is hers you know and i think they

kind of look at both people as having a a different a different lifestyle than uh i guess what we're trying to live up to the good part of this though is like because there are a ton of youtube channels i think there's this youtube channel law and crime i crime like dog i'm watching this shit there's this youtube channel law and crime and these a bunch of youtube channels who are covering this case hard and public sentiment is by far on the side of johnny because of all the proof yes but the thing is that's true it is a good point public sentiment is way on his side. People can see that this woman is a wretch. Which I hate because now there's a lot of women that do run into problems that do have men that are abusing them. And if they come forward, they might just be like, well, maybe she's making it up for some reason. tough moral aspect of these types of situations and the more the tough aspect of the me too movement because after seeing this case you have to understand that unless there's proof you can't

take a side you really it's dangerous to take a side because when amber hurt came out with this people were like oh johnny depp yeah of, that cocaine riddled man, movie star beats women. And it's not the truth. But that ruined this dude's life. So it's like now you have to broaden that type of situation and broaden that to all of these people who are putting forward allegations against individuals, man or woman. And you got to be like as horrible as this is i can't take a side here because again like it could be something like this it could be like okay let's say it's someone who's like a boxer right and somebody i won't use i'm saying

a boxer i'm not using tyson as an example but let's say a boxer is accused of of beating his wife or or an athlete that's big is accused of beating his wife. Most people would be like, yeah, look at that. He's definitely doing that in the ring. Of course, he's doing that at home. But that might not be the case because you hear what Amber said. She said, try saying that in court, Johnny, that I am a victim of physical abuse or whatever. Try saying that in court and Johnny, that I am a victim of physical abuse or whatever. Try saying that to court and see who believes you. People know that when it comes to things like this,

the public sentiment is not going to be on your side. So I can just accuse you of something. I could accuse you of something and people are going to believe me. See how well that airs for you. And understanding that people are really that wretched and really that fucked up that they would do that you have to take accusations really with a grain of salt you have to it's crazy it is crazy didn't mayweather get he went to jail for it too did he i believe so shit i don't know i know nothing about yeah because i remember him complaining that he wasn't getting enough nutrition in jail really yeah all those and you know what i love people always use inmates all the time they did this morning in the podcast on the chat on live chat people are like look at all these inmates coming out jacked like what was the reason i don't even remember i don't remember but oh obviously about protein nutrition nutrition, carbs and stuff.

And so they were just saying like, well, you know, inmates, you know, their nutrition isn't that great, but they still come out looking jacked or whatever. And someone's like, well, they're on PEDs. I'm like, well. There you go. But, you know, a bigger aspect of all this, and I guess, you know, this is all this drama stuff, but for the audience, man, I think a big lesson that we can just try to take away or something that we should try to do is just learn to communicate well with whoever you're with. Like, I'm blessed that I'm with a person now who like we like, I don't yell. It's never been my thing. I don't yell at people, but neither she in situations situations that like we've literally gotten in like like very tense uh problems we have discussed it as in like we

just talk back and forth we'll we'll talk no one's flying curse words at each other no one's yelling at each other as tense as it gets we know that we're both trying to reach a resolution. We're not trying to, we're not literally not trying to butt heads or fight with each other. It's not an argument. It's like, okay, this is a problem.

We're trying to reach a resolution. So we love each other. How about we just talk? And the fact that she has the ability to just talk is so wonderful to me. I have so much peace because I've been with an individual who, if you said the slightly wrong thing, fuck, yelling and curse words would fly. And that's not the way I was raised. Right.

So if anything. Yeah. How can you grow together? Like you just can't. I don't think. Right. You're not able to conversate. You know, I think people in general, like people are lazy.

People are selfish. And when I say people, i'm saying all i'm including myself i'm guilty lazy selfish and then and jealous lazy selfish jealous put that on fucking repeat and those are most of the arguments that you'll probably ever get into with uh whoever it is that you're attracted to. It's somewhere in there, right? And sometimes people are offended or sometimes people are hurt at what you said or what you did or what you didn't do.

And then so if you just think about that, it's like, all right, well, it's just a little conflict. I'm a slob and I left my stuff out and I'm pretty guilty of this. And my wife, she does clean up after me a lot. And so I'm kind of used to that. My mom cleaned up after me too.

I should not put my wife in that situation. I should be more diligent on that side. But why can't we have a... Of course we can have a conversation about it. I'm still not going to do the fucking dishes. You're out of your mind. That's woman's work. Get in the kitchen where you belong.

That's right. Andy, this is a joke. We can talk about her because she's not around for the week. She doesn't even listen to the podcast. Andy, get in the kitchen. Mark, I'm joking. Mark, I'm joking. I'm like, wait a second. Andy, I'm joking.

Special guest, Andy. Andy. He just walks around the corner. Hey, and see. You know, but when these situations come up, I mean, you know. If y'all see that i'm never at slingshot again in about two weeks understand this is the reason why it just falls through the floor and he has that button where he just falls through like a delete sorry i think i think in

general if you just recognize whenever just about anybody's mad at you, it's usually because they're hurt over something. They're hurt or hurting or frustrated, which is kind of similar to some sort of hurt. There's some sort of pain. You know, we say hurt people hurt people. There's some sort of pain. There's some sort of angst. There's something there that threw them off.

And the frustrating thing is a lot of times when something does throw you off, that in and of itself makes you mad. And you're like, I don't even know why I'm mad at this point, but I'm fucking pissed. And then it's hard to communicate. And then that's where people don't talk. I think in general, for a lot of men, and I don't know anything about being a woman. I don't know how that would be. But I know for a lot of men,

it's like they seem like they react pretty good to some time. Just give it a minute. A dude will go all the way to the point where they don't even need to talk about it if you give them time. They'll be like, no, I'm cool. And the girl will be like, no, no, no, we should really talk about this.

And you're like, no, literally. Because sometimes a woman will say they're fine, and then you better fucking start asking more questions because they're not fine. And again, this is generalizations. Big generalizations. A lot of times this is kind of how it goes. And so I think for most men,

if you can just take a beat on your reaction to something, there's really not a lot of reasons to be super fast with a reaction unless there's real imminent danger. If there's something crazy going on, then yeah, you'll have to react to that to protect family or whatever. But most of the time, it's just conversation. So you don't have to react or overreact. A thing that I like to do is I like to try to see stuff from the other person's side, the other person's point of view.

I wonder what it's like to be in SEMA. I wonder why he's frustrated. Why is he frustrated with Andrew? That was weird. Well, let me not be mad at SEMA. Let me actually think, what why would he, you know, what's, what, what's it like to be him, you know? And so I think kind of, uh, throwing yourself into some of that in a relationship, um, I think can be really, really helpful and useful.

And on that note, there's two things. Uh, for example, that person that I was with, I want to try and be as vague as possible because I'm not trying to outmurder anything. But that person has been through trauma. That person has been with somebody who did lay hands on them in the past. They've had that experience. So when those things would happen, I understood that, okay, you've been through trauma. This is some of the things that you need to work through. They understood that those are the things that they needed to work through.

But, you know, I made the mistake of staying within that situation for quite some time. Like that's not a situation anybody should stay in. But because somebody is trying to work through those things, you make those excuses. I'm thankful for that situation because it helped me understand when somebody's – I've always questioned like, God, somebody is in a relationship where somebody is laying hands on them. Why the fuck do they stay? Well, they stay because they understand who this person is outside of those types of situations. Outside of these situations where this individual would get really, really mad, they were a beautiful person. But when they would get mad, shit.

And then you have a hope that this person will be able to work through this because they're typically regretful. So you're like, okay, well, this wasn't this. They'll work through this. They'll get better. Blah, blah, blah blah it's almost a little bit like an addiction i think right and i'm an enabler yeah yeah there's it's like a little bit of an addiction and uh because there's that conflict um you know the opposite of the conflict and so you're super happy and grateful when there's not that conflict but there really shouldn't be that much conflict in the first place.

Absolutely not. I'm seeing a lot of, just a ton of relationship stuff. It's exploding via podcasts and social media. There's so much information about relationships, and I hear people talking about, oh my God, what do I do? He said this. What do I do? She said that.

Let me break some news to you people. Relationships should be pretty fucking easy you either are interested in each other and you're about each other and you're in and you're willing to do the work yeah or work yeah or or you're in the way either you're in or you're in the way there's going to be friction because you're not the same person because like just taking care of your own shit is not easy and then when you balance in having like a newborn baby like what andrew has along with a teenage daughter along with a bunch of dogs and shit like that like too many dogs and a job that's impossible to keep up with because we never stop talking it you know it does it does complicate things but stephanie fucking loves you and you

love her and you guys don't lose sight of that. I think that's dope. That's at the forefront. That's at the center of everything. She can get mad at you. You can get mad at her. You understand each other, and you're going to continue to move forward, and if there's some bumps here and there, all the bumps are going to do is just launch you higher and higher and higher over a period of time. Yeah, well said yeah i like what you said about like you know newsflash it should it should be pretty much easy and that's absolutely true like um you know previous relationship it was

like you guys know me i'm fucking like when am i ever going to really raise my voice like i tried to do it on camera and i couldn't fucking do it right. Yeah. You know, it's like, that's not me. Tried it once and threw your back out. Yeah. But being with somebody that did raise their voice and then it's like by the end of that relationship, it's like I was yelling back and I was like, oh fuck, this is not me. Like, this is not good. Like, I've been hypnotized, you know? How good is that for kids to see too?

Like, it's fucking horrible. Yeah, no. Yeah. Thank goodness. And then now, like with Stephanie, it's like, dude, just no yeah thank goodness and then now like with stephanie it's like dude just like you didn't see me like we don't art like it's so hard to even say like that we have arguments because like we're literally just two adults having a conversation that's what adults should do you know it's it's and it's it's weird but yeah like we'll have a

discussion and then it's like oh fuck like my bad you know like i'll you know do whatever i need to do but like and in regards to like the actual work, like, you know, this morning I made my breakfast and I was sitting there and like, I can see Stephanie running around like crazy and I can hear Aurelius and I'm just like, fuck dude, I gotta, I gotta do something. Not be a bum. Yeah, exactly. You know? So it's like, okay. So like I, like half of my food was getting cold as I was changing his diaper because she was getting the rest of the shit, you know, ready to go. But it's all rewarding.

You know, it's not like, I don't know. It's not like I'm paying a parking ticket where you're just like, fuck, like this just sucks on so many levels. It's like, no, I'm helping, you know, it's, you know, it's helping her out. She's going to change a diaper, get a blow job. Essentially. That's usually, that's funny. Okay.

So then, you know okay so then you know the you know the give and take everyone has that rule in the house it's like hey it looks like uh your leisure you know it's a little bit behind pass due on your bills but but like like real talk man number one like what you mentioned this it's it's uh you know i people that tend to like yell in relationships like you figure like they've probably had parents that did that same thing they're going off of what they've seen as normal because to me like my mom is a disciplinarian right but i never really heard her yell like she would like she'd be like it seemed like she would yell at me sometimes i'm terrified of your mother i never even met her like like she she is the most

chill person and in the rare times i was like really stupid to get her mad it was this nice calm anger and i was, that's terrifying. Bone chilling. But still. Did she have a look? Yeah. Oh, all the time. And you were like.

Like, you just know. I knew I fucked up once she looked at me. Like, she'd look at me with her glasses and she'd just be like. I just go, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Like, I knew it. But that's the thing. I fucked up again. That's why yelling isn't normal for me and i when you know my relationship i was and i'm like damn this this yelling thing is different but

but but that's the thing it's like i really do you guys think that there is a situation where two individuals who are in a relationship should be yelling at each other like literally yelling i understand emotions can get high but when does yelling help you get a message clearly across? Yelling or cursing at a person, if anything, that would just escalate a situation, which is why it makes no fucking sense to me why that's even done. It's done because it's effective, although maybe pounding your fist on a table or a little something might just show that you care more. But I think you can also just say that. Let's say you're arguing about what school you want your kid to go to because maybe they're struggling in a public school and you want to see if they want to make a change to do something different. You could say, this matters a lot to me because, and you can list see if they want to make a change to do something different.

You could say, this matters a lot to me because, and you can list out the reasons why. And then you can say, what do you think, what are the negatives? What's the good and the bad of all this? Like, okay, well, maybe our kid's going to be moved away from his friends or whatever the situation might be, right? And you can go back and forth on it, but I don't i don't think it's particularly helpful to start yelling and screaming about something yeah i don't think it's

gonna work that well yeah no i would just say outside of sex it's probably not going to be very beneficial i'm just like yelling like well it's only gonna only going to happen then. It's like cursing. It's only going to happen then. Let's go, Andrew. Laying down some good pipe. Good pipe. It does help in a relationship, you know, and that stuff's good. And that was one of those things where like when I got, when I was single, I was just

like, dog, if I ever, if like, if I run across a chick that yells, I know I'm out. Like, you can't communicate well without yelling or cursing? Peace. You can do that with somebody else. I've heard people talk about their workplace, too. And they're like, yeah, I got yelled at. And I'm always like, what? Yeah, I'm always like, yelled at?

I know sometimes it's figure of speech sometimes. But I'm always thinking, man, I that – I don't know about that. Like that doesn't seem correct. That doesn't seem like a great workplace. It doesn't – like because if I started yelling at you, Mark, or you started yelling at me or I started yelling at one of you guys, like – That would be so productive. How – it just – exactly. There's no productivity to that because the individual you're yelling at, it's like they're – now they're like, oh my – they're getting – they're probably going to get defensive.

I can see getting animated and I can see like talking louder but like literally yelling at somebody. If you're yelling about something, that's kind of a little bit different than it is to like be yelling directly at somebody. Like you're mad at them. You're directing like your anger. at somebody, like you're mad at them, you're directing like your anger. It's quite obvious, you know, you direct your anger at somebody versus we're having a discussion about like maybe we should have a particular person on the show and someone gets loud and animated because they're just trying to voice their opinion of, I think this would be really great for us. And maybe two other guys are like not really so sure about it, but you're kind of addressing

it more that way. That makes some sense. Like to be more vocal, use your hands more and like try to really communicate what you're trying to say. That makes sense. Yeah. It's almost like trying to deal with somebody who's drunk. You know, it's like once you get, once you get so angry and you're, you're, you tip the scales, you're like, you're no longer listening to anything I have to say. You are just literally trying to yell at me what you want me to hear and it's like dude no matter i could easily have rectified all of it and because you're already too far gone like

you're like fuck it i'm this is yep we're going all in i can't can't come back now i know i brought up another whole hot topic no that that's the thing i've dealt with that shit an individual drinks too much too and when when they're too gone, it's like – I know. When they're too gone, it's like – these are just things that are just – You know, that's actually an interesting thing is like people, I think, choose the wrong time to talk about stuff too. So obviously the person that's drinking like doesn't know what's – they want to get into it right then probably. And yeah, they might not remember it. It's also their emotions are, I mean, let's face it, you're intoxicated.

So everything you do and say is going to be slightly different, right? You love that shit, huh? You're still trying to talk on the microphone as it's over your mouth. It's really good, bro. It's so fucking good. Another cool mug. Yeah, Vader. But you were saying, yeah, they're incoherent.

Yeah, it's not a great time to talk about it. And I've dealt with the same thing with my kids. We've all been kids before. And remember that cry where you can't breathe and you're crying, crying? You keep doing all that. That's not a good time to discipline. It's okay to discipline your kid and to communicate with them that they might be in trouble or whatever but once that's done that's not a good time to try to get like reason and reasoning like you know they're five as well right like they're super young wait until they

fucking calm down a little bit have a further further discussion with them. Say, hey, I really didn't want you to get in trouble earlier, but you did this and it was super dangerous, or you did this to your brother, you did this to your sister, and we don't do that in this house. I don't like, you know, you got to share, whatever the fuck it is you're trying to teach in the household. It's got to be done at a different time.

Talking to somebody when they're drunk or talking to somebody when they're really emotionally charged up whether you're at a party or at a business meeting or you're at a bar it doesn't matter where you are you might have to say hey you want to meet again

we should really talk about this further if you'd like to discuss it further the other thing I see people communicating via text and via email don't do that shit don't get involved in fucking toxic emails toxic texts back and forth seriously don't do that shit texting is for hey i'll see you at 10 hey i'll see you at 9 or to send your friend a dick pic say hey how do i size up against you guys? And then they laugh at you, and you cry,

and you cry yourself to sleep, and you do it every day. And Andrew, that one you sent on Tuesday, you're killing it, brother. Dude. Penis pump. I was like, is that even a real penis? So did you do that right after you pumped? If I said yes, does that matter?

Nah, nah. I'm just saying. You chilling with the fucking hands fucking hog log hog it's fucking crazy what you have log hog yeah man it's not congolese he has in him two percent yeah that's all it takes yeah just a little it's a little bit of penis pumps gonna buy everybody a tesla i hope so hey i it. I still use it like maybe once every, I used it once every past few weeks. But my frequency has gone down a little bit. Yeah, I don't use the extender one anymore where you put the dick and balls in.

I just go straight for the. Go straight for the balls? I still haven't used the one where you stick your dick and balls. Guys, if you're interested in what we're talking about, there's a penis pump link below for the penis pumps that we all use. But, yeah, I don't use the dick and ball pump. I use just the dick pump. I wonder if Muhammad Ali used a penis pump. I wonder if he used one back in the day.

Because all the confidence he had? No, Ali just had it, bro. Oh, he just, okay. You could tell. The man was walking around with it. You can see that in people. That's a talent. That's called BDE, big dick energy. Oh, so he just had it. He around with it. You can see that in people. That's a talent. That's called BDE, Big Dick Energy.

Oh, so he just had it. He just had it. I have to try to replicate Big Dick Energy. Yeah. We got to work on it. We got to work on it. We got to get it pumped. Get your penis pumped.

Link below. Not joking either. No, this shit's fucking legit. The link's in the description box, guys. Power Project family, I hope you guys are doing well today. I want to give you guys a quick piece of fitness equipment lifting history. The hip circle that you see before you is actually the first hip circle ever. All right. There were no booty bands before the hip circle, which is pretty interesting. That's why you see it in gyms like The Rock. We've seen Kim K using

on Instagram. It is the OG, but that's also why we have the slingshots, gangster wraps, knee sleeves, elbow sleeves, everything that you're going to need in the gym so that you can protect yourself before you wreck yourself. So Andrew, you tell the people how to get it. Yes, that's over at markbellslingshot.com and at checkout, enter promo code POWERPROJECT10 to save 10% off your entire order. Links to them down in the description as well as the podcast show notes. Andrew, what's the deal with this tomato diet? Are you going on it? Oh, I'm thinking about it. I mean, summer's coming up. So I'm just like, wait, Kim Kardashian lost 16 pounds in three weeks. so i'm just like wait kim kardashian

lost 16 pounds in three weeks so i'm just like okay so i can be like 175 in like less than a month do you want to talk about this in another one this is did she need to lose weight oh we're kind of bullshitting about everything so i think it's okay all right let's go let's go yeah no um so my my wife sent or she was telling me that a bunch of people were posting on their IG story and stuff like kind of like enraged because Kim Kardashian went on an all tomato diet to lose 16 pounds in three weeks to fit in a Marilyn Monroe, like authentic, actual piece of history. Marilyn Monroe was bad. She lifted. In a good way. Yeah.

But so I was just like, like whoa like that's fucking insane can you find me an actual article where it explains everything so you sent it and then so i read the article and what it said was that yeah she she tried on the dress and it was a little bit too big and people didn't think that she'd actually get to fit into it but she was like or too small rather maybe uh i think you said too big the sorry the dress was too small there you go she was she's perfect whatever but the dress was a little bit too small got that ass yes so she looked at it and she was like i could do this give me three weeks so she went to town she's probably hooked up with gunner peterson you know our boy as in trained trained sorry yeah my

bad yeah i know i speak funny sometimes. I know. You know. And Gunner's wife. Today's lingo. Yeah. So in the article, she was with somebody else and that person that was next to her was just like, oh yeah, she can put down a bunch of, or she can eat a whole lot of tomatoes and do anything that she puts her mind to. And so right away the internet was like, oh shit, she went on this all tomato diet and

lost 16 pounds. But she never actually said that yeah but what she did say was like yeah i was a little bit too big for this small dress and so i did whatever it took to get into it and lose 16 pounds in three weeks and so like that just i mean you know the rage was like oh this is a bad example for young women because you she is saying that she went on a crazy crash diet to fit. Oh, no. Jesus is messing. Oh, they're 69 kissing. I think so.

I think so. You need to. You need to. You got to repent. Like that's. You need to do that. Uh- to repent. You need to do that. Uh-uh. Nah.

Oh, no. Nah. I believe in too much wild things that I'm not going to let you do that. How about Marky Moose Butthole? Do that with John Cena. Don't do that with Jesus, Mark. We want you here for a long time. We don't want you to be stricken down by lightning.

Can Jesus scissor with John Cena? How about Cena scissors with Mark? Don't have Jesus scissors with anyone. I don't know if his legs are long enough. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ just scissors with the cross. Isn't that what we did? We die for our sins. Stop it.

You thought this Kim Kardashian thing was too much for this episode. Anyway, got me thinking like, yeah, whatever. I've been on some shitty diets too, but first off, she didn't go on an all tomato diet. And it did get me thinking like, yeah, it would kind of be a bummer to... That's nasty. If my daughter Jasmine, she's about to be 14 years old if she sees that you know kim kardashian did all this work to fit into a dress not for anything else to fit

obviously a big fucking event she's kim kardashian she has a lot of a lot riding on being present at big events and stuff but a teenage girl's not going to really think about all those other things she's just going to think like oh it's okay to go on a crash diet to fit into a dress for an event. You know, though on the opposite side of things, man. Okay. Maybe the way if Kim put dog,

she's wealthy. She has trainers in her back that can be like, okay, let's do this. And the best way possible. I understand that if people see this, like I think that like, okay, let's do this in the best way possible. I understand that if people see this, I think that, okay, we need to put forward personal responsibility. Because it is tough.

Not everyone is going to be able to understand the health ramifications of that. And they see that, so they'll think it's normal. For Kim, that's something that she knows how to do. She's probably crash-dited for a bunch of things. And she has enough money and wealth that she's not going to let herself actually get too far out of shape. But this isn't something that is good for someone in the general population to do, which is why it's good that there are so many fitness influencers and individuals saying, hey, this is an unhealthy thing to do. Don't do this but I don't think it's wrong for her to have done that to fit into that dress because she's with people that know how to make her do it and know how to shed that weight including some water weight too because we know it wasn't 16 pounds of fat right she's with some people who know how to help her do that yeah and it's probably also uh maybe she just was a little bit uh heavier

than she'd like at that particular moment anyway and so it was like gave her you know an extra goal but like 16 pounds is a lot and it was probably it is she might have had six or eight pounds of extra stuff on her that she normally doesn't have and so she's like fuck it let me just yeah figure this out so i could fit into this dress and have this these perfect uh photographs or whatever the the bro side of me really likes that she was just like oh i could give me three weeks and i'll make it happen so just like on that side it's like yeah she knew like you said she knew what it took to get down to that and just happened it just so happened to be that it was it took 16 pounds to fit into this dress but you know when i look at this situation though it makes me think about like

how like i saw this this woman and so healy is a really good resource for a lot of fitness stuff. So people should check her out. She made a post about it and she mentioned it screams toxic diet culture. It is tough for somebody who has such a big platform like Kim. You know, you want to just do something to fit into a dress. You know that. OK, for me, this isn't a big deal. But then she never said she went on a tomato diet.

An article said she went on a tomato diet, but she actually didn't. Right. So it's not necessarily even her fault. But it's like when we talk about fasting, but now. I posted a video yesterday that I didn't eat until 4 p.m. People might think I do that every day. Right. It's like, that's a little, a little abnormal for me.

I don't even bother to fast every single day. Yeah. And I'm about to post a video about like fasting pretty soon. And it's like, okay, there are like this is actually a healthy practice if done in smart ways. You still need to get in your calories. You still need to drink electrolytes, water, et cetera. We've been doing this a long time. Yeah.

We've been doing this for years now. Right. a long time yeah we've been doing this for years now right um but it's like you now have like tiktok and these different platforms and people are like oh fasting's disordered eating you know what i mean but no it's not when done with the right um when done in the right way it's not disordered eating at all so it's like there's two sides of it where we were responsible at the way we put it forward, but there will still be people that take what we say and do irresponsible practices. And we are not responsible for the actions that those people take. We try to do our best to preface everything and give as much context as we

can. But at the end of the day, there are going to still be people that do Kim Kardashian's crash diet, even though they know it's not sustainable, you know, and then those types of people will also say oh it's because kim kardashian did it they won't take personal responsibility for their mistake of doing that right so it's like it's a tough one and as far as our kids go like hopefully hopefully anybody's household is not set up to where your kid is so wavered by these celebrity people like hopefully there's been conversation in household of like you know these these are these are high level people

these are people that have uh gotten themselves into these certain positions and they they do things that might be a little unconventional or slightly different than uh what you see the average person do because somebody like Kim Kardashian doesn't necessarily have, she probably still has a lot of responsibilities. She probably puts in a good work day every day. But she's not like out driving like a FedEx truck for eight hours every day. So then she's going to have access to like be able to do stuff like this where she can really invest the time into doing stuff like that.

access to like be able to do stuff like this where she can really invest the time into doing stuff like that so i think you know um trying to like uh put it on that put it on the athlete or put it on the celebrity is a tough thing you know oh michael jordan he shouldn't have said that or this guy shouldn't have uh you know i think michael jordan had like the thing where he said, uh, Republicans buy Nike's too, or something like that. And people just blew up. And Jordan has never said anything fucking, uh,

he's never said any political statement pretty much ever, except for that. And he was halfway kidding around and people just took it just out of such a context. So it's with John Cena and saying that a specific area is a country or however the fuck it is that he messed that whole thing up. Oh, yeah, yeah. They just like we put so much on that and it's like, man, these are all just people too. I don't know if we should push everything off onto them. Maybe we should just try to teach our kids the best that we possibly can. And then

hopefully the kid can like navigate, you know, through life and hopefully the kid, hopefully your kid or anybody else's kid comes to you and says, Hey, you know, I heard that Kim Kardashian lost his weight. And you can say, Oh, okay. Well, I actually looked it up and she actually used to, like, she has a professional personal trainer she worked with them every day she worked out she had somebody like checking in to make sure it was safe and make sure it was reasonable and so forth and then you can kind of like you know again educate i guess yeah and that's exactly what i was going to say is like social media is a um it's like a dangerous version of that stupid game telephone where it's like you know it's like oh

this person posted it but just because they posted it doesn't mean it's necessarily true but in that moment it's true right because like when when i seen i was like oh shit did she really do this i thought i thought the same i went to the actual well one of the many articles that said exactly what she said and was like wait she didn't do that so it's like man yeah you gotta be responsible for you know your inputs man we've talked about that many times in the past and you absolutely cannot believe everything you see off of a news article yeah even that yeah you you can't believe headlines you can't believe that shit um i was just looking at something today uh the new york times is writing an op-ed on elon mus And I posted it on my story because, okay, so in the New York Times article, it reports that Elon Musk had non-white friends growing up in apartheid South Africa.

His own father was an anti-apartheid politician. And he literally left so he didn't have to serve in the apartheid military. But the article still tries to insinuate that he's racist. Right? apartheid military but the article still tries to insinuate that he's racist right it's like it's it's you got to be careful with what you read on some of these things because they will do their best to plaster an individual with what they feel like they you know whatever their views skew and by the way guys you need to check out this guy on social media his instagram is e cigar e s a a g a r on instagram and uh this his podcast is called breaking points it's actually Instagram is eSagar, E-S-A-A-G-A-R on Instagram. And his podcast is called Breaking Points.

It's actually pretty dope because it's a liberal and a conservative, and they go deep on both sides. Oh, yeah. I've seen this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's like they have both sides of the political spectrum, and they have good discussions trying to come at it from both. It's not skewed either way. That's why I love his content, and I love what he puts forward. That's cool. the political spectrum and they have good discussions trying to come at it from both. It's not skewed either way. That's why I love his content and I love what he puts forward because you can try to understand where the other side is coming from. A lot of people like it because they don't – people no longer just – well, a lot

of our younger people don't identify as just being like on one side or the other. I don't. I don't either. I just think like it just never made any sense to me. It's always kind of boggled my mind that we have that such a separation and then that separation because you're Democrat or Republican means X, Y and Z about you. I always thought was like, man, that seems that seems really odd to label ourselves that deeply and to box ourselves up that deeply into something. Trying to separate us. Trying to separate us. Andrew, take us on out of here. One last thing.

You can fly in. For all the couples, go to Showtime and watch this show, Couples Therapy. Watch the show, Couples Therapy. It's this brilliant therapist and you get insights into a bunch of these different couples and the problems that they're going through and how this therapist

analyzes things. It sparked a lot of conversation. Like me and my girl were watching it and every episode we're like, what do you think about this? Or how do you feel about this? It's, it's got us thinking about a lot of things. And number two, therapy is a good thing. Like if you've had trauma in the past, or if you've had parents that didn't communicate well and it shows itself in the way that you communicate, go to therapy. There's nothing wrong with therapy. I think at this point in time, you know, therapy isn't stigmatized as something for crazy people because that's how it used to look. That's how people used to think.

Oh, you're going to therapy? What problem do you have? But especially as adults, like therapy is good to be able to sort out a lot of shit you may not know may have been there. So watch Couples Therapy with your sigo. Significant other. Sigo. Yeah, I made that up.
