If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go. MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, MIND, with your hosts. Saldas Defano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. You are listening to the number one fitness health and entertainment podcast. This is Mind Pump. All those things. Now in today's episode, we answer fitness and health questions. Four of them, in fact, but the way we open the episode is with an introductory portions

where we talk about current events. We tell fun stories, we generally just have a lot of fun. Today's intro portion was about 45 minutes long. After that, we answered those four fitness questions. So what I'm gonna do is give you a breakdown of today's episode. We open up by talking about drug testing. Oh yeah.

And how we tried to get away with drug testing back in the day. Then we talk about Adam's charitable giving and the politically correct terms. We talk about the man who married his sex doll. I guess the courtship was over, right? They did it for a while. Yeah, yeah, they made it official. Then we talked about an interesting article

talking about how the Red Cross tested some blood samples from 2019 that showed that COVID was here much earlier. Dun dun dun. Then we talked about Justin's new media commercials he's doing on Mind Pup Media's Instagram page. Ladies and gentlemen, Justin is hilarious and you're going to watch that. Please go check it out. let me know. And check it out. Then I talk about how grass fed meat has twice as much CLA as grain fed meat. Now why is that important? CLA helps burn body fat and build muscle.

In fact, body bones and mis-supplementing it with for it a long time. Easy for me to say. But instead of supplementing with CLA, all you have to do is eat grass-fed meat and you'll get plenty of it. CLA all day. CLA.

One of our favorite sources of grass-fed meat is butcher-box. They actually deliver it to your door and because you listen to Mind Pump, you get a massive discount and hook up. Here's what you do. Go to butcherbox.com, forward slash Mind Pump, use the code Mind Pump and you'll get bacon for life. Oh my God. That's going on till the 22nd of December.

So go get your bacon for life, it's pretty good. Then I talk about why humans sleep so good when it's cool, probably because we evolved sleeping in caves. By the way, if you'd like to cool your bed down, try the chili pad or the ulla. This is a water-cooled mat that goes over your mattress, allows you to control the temperature of your bed down, try the chili pad or the ulla. This is a water-cooled mat that goes over your mattress, allows you to control the temperature of your bed. There's two sides to it, by

the way. So if your wife or husband likes a different temperature, that's totally fine. They can do what they want. They want harmful EMFs. And you do what you want. Exactly. It's water-cooled. No EMFs. It's amazing. It really has impacted my sleep in a positive way. And again, because you listen to Mind Pump, you get a discount. Here's what you do. Go to chileatechnology.com forward slash Mind Pump.

And we have some discounts. Chile 22 can get you a big discount on the Chile pad. And that will be ending very soon. That's a Cyber Monday deal. It looks like it's being extended. Then I talk about the new vaccine cards that the defense ministry, I don't know what the actual name is, but the defense department, there you go, is saying that we might all have to carry around soon. It's kind of looking

like 1984. Cool. Let's start trading cards. Interesting. And then we talk about Snoop Dogg starting a fight club. Then we got into answering the fitness questions. Here's the first one. This person wants to know what some of the craziest fitness myths are that we've ever heard. The next question, this person wants to know how aging affects the metabolism and weight gain. The third question, this person struggling with pain and their toes and arches,

wants to know if there's anything they can do. And the fourth question, this person wants to know if the at home digital fitness space is getting crowded. Also, you know, here at MindPump, one thing that we like to do to help people is we like to design workout programs. In fact, Adam Justin and myself have been personal trainers for over two decades.

said that I was wrong, so I'm just gonna correct myself. Hmm. Remember when we were talking about the milk production thing and the beer? It's not the wheat in the beer, it's the yeast in the beer. Oh. That kicks out the production. So I just want to get that straight before all the moms.

So I wonder if you could do gluten free beer. I don't want my DMs full of them. Well, hold on, maybe we could do gluten free beer for, because is gluten free beer made with yeast, Doug? I would think so. Oh shit. Maybe. There's a whole market there, I don't know.

Yeah, okay. All right, honey. Yeah, I'll be bringing you some Some brew. Yeah, you know, I mean But are you supposed to you those out there? Are you supposed to when you drink the was it called pump and dump? Yeah, you pump and dump why because it gets in the milk, right? Right, right? They may have a what if you want the baby to sleep well then I'm just saying I mean that's a move. You're just a bad mom But what if you want the baby to sleep? Well then, I'm just saying. I mean, that's a move. You're just a bad mom, that's all.

Yeah. Just to put the whiskey in their teeth. You can't do that with cannabis, by the way, pumping it up because it's fat soluble. It'll stay in your breast milk for a little while. Yeah, it stays in your system for like 30 days, right? Yeah. Yeah, so you know, it kids all chill.

But there's also, so I've heard of doctors. Okay. I've actually heard of doctors though, recommending to women, smoking weed if they're like addicted to cigarettes and Saying like if you're gonna smoke every day you can't kick the habit of smoking they prefer them smoking marijuana smoking Really? Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. That's an interesting strategy Well, think about that. What will as a doctor? What do you tell somebody you got somebody who a pack a day a cigarette smoker? There's lots of people out there that exist like that.

They get fucking pregnant. You think they all just cut cold turkey? I know, dude. I doubt it. No, you're right. It's hard to give any advice to somebody I got. Yeah. You imagine though being that doctor, you know?

Listen, Mrs. Johnson, you're pregnant. How do I start? Quit cigarettes, let's go to joints. Yeah, let's go with that because that's not as bad. Yeah, I hope. Well, so is it with that because that's not as bad. Yeah, I hope. Well, so is it true? Like when they take a hair sample, they get a lot, like they can go a lot further back.

Yes, that's why you're scared me when I say jobs. That's how we get. We never, Adam's cool. Yeah, let's say. We can't tell with Adam. We hear he smokes a lot of, we can't prove that from you. We can't prove it from your beard. he smokes a lot of weed. He can't prove it. Can't prove it.

We can hear it. I think they can get it from your beard. Hair. Oh, really? Yeah. The leather that never reaches hair. Yeah. Right, can't you?

Sample it. That makes sense. Let's find out. I don't know. I think so. I think so. But I actually have a buddy who worked at a job, and they were going to do the drug testing.

And he was a pot smoker, right? So he quit smoking for however long it takes before it gets out of your urine, because if that was gonna be a urine test, it's like gold seal or whatever. I remember like, so I was like hyperparamory of this, because I was working for my dad at the time and you know, and I knew at some point, he knew the kind of crowd I ran around with, but I didn't even like really smoke, but like maybe four times a year, you know, because I would just like, I was doing the whole,

like smoke and puff, but not inhale kind of a thing. You saw that. Shut up. I was that guy for a while, did I? He's like, yeah, and I, Is this when you were doing heroin? Yeah. That was the, you know, I just wanted to

didn't want to get caught for pot. Uh, so, yeah, so, so then he sprung Yeah. That was the, you know, I just wanted to get caught for pot. So yeah, so then he sprung a surprise test on me. Your dad did? Yeah. You've never told me just. Your dad tried to use the companies and excuse. Exactly. Hey son, you worked for me.

I didn't even know you worked for your dad. What were you guys doing? Yeah, I worked a couple summers, maybe like three summers. I worked for him at this window company, and I would unload trucks, and then I would go out with the service guys to go to these mansions and basically reglaize the windows. When was this?

This was when I was in high school. I didn't know this. All the stories you've told, I don't think you've ever told that story. Yeah, I don't think I have. You think you know somebody, right? I know, right? You've been So all the stories you've told, I don't think you've ever told that story. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I have. I know. I know. Right? You've, you've, you've been, I know, you've been watching way those three years so much. You know, it helps to ask all agents. Wait, wait, wait, wait, Adam's about to ask a question. Oh, what are your story about the, about the drug test? Yeah. So I was like, I was like, whoa, like, I,

I don't know. I had this sense that, like, I don't know, I had this sense that I don't know why I think he started to kind of like mention that like ad seeds, like, oh, this is the company policy and we're kind of rolling this out. And like, I'm like, when is this going to happen? And then he just like all of a sudden sprung it on me one day. And so I had to go to this site, this facility, and do a whole P-test and all that. And I was fucking sweating bullets. Yeah, I'm nervous for you.

Oh, so I was chugging water on my way over there. Like crazy. Well, how long had it been since you smoked weed? It'd been months. Oh, okay. So you had, I didn't know anything. And you probably, oh, no, of course. No, I remember when those that would happen,

and we were all in high school, and we had like a half our friend smoke, we did a half didn't, right? Yeah. And the guys that had to work for companies, like a CVS store, someone that had regular drug testing type shit, they would, and I don't even know if CVS does that, I just made that up.

They would freak out because of contact. We were all at a house party together, but there's Halloween. Or the eight like a poppy seed muffin Yeah, no Take care of it. Oh brother. Oh my god. Yeah, no no it's It gets you cuz then you would drink stuff like what was called gold seal. Yeah, yeah, yeah I think that was the hell the brand. I don't even know if it works

But I had a buddy that he went he thought was gonna be a urine test turned out it was gonna be a hair test So shave to set oh no Sorry, yeah, I don't have any hard test. So you shaved a set. Oh no, we did. Oh sorry. Yeah. I don't have any hair. Weird. Yeah, can we do another form? They also sell, you know, it's funny. I'm just thinking right now, a brand new listener right now is like, I thought this was a fitness

podcast. What's going on here? Listen, we're talking about a lot of things. Listen, we gotta cover the bases. No, you, I forgot I was gonna go with this anyway. Oh my goodness. I have something because you interrupted me about the bases. No, I forgot I was gonna go with this anyway. Oh my goodness, I have something because you interrupted me about the windows. So I'm terrible when it comes to this, right?

And this obviously goes back to childhood stuff. I guess make fun of me be like with the horse thing, right? So I have another funny thing you can pick on me about. So, I can't wait. Not only do I talk about like when my childhood, like we didn't have a lot of money, but yet we own horses, right? So we also gave hundreds and hundreds of dollars all the time to, you know,

a Bums on the street all the time. Wow. That was a very common thing. That's politically correct. That was shit. That was shit. That was fucking homeless. Whatever.

Yeah. Bums. Bums and nobody. So it was a very regular thing for our family to do that. My dad, my step down, my mom, get their check in, and then we go give a quarter of it to, we give a tenth of it to the church and then a quarter of it to the bums,

and then our PG need goes out. So that was a good, good fact. So you can imagine, as I've gotten older, I'm obviously a little resistant to that. You've been in the car with me before, where I've given you shit about that. So I'm bad with that. But okay, so this guy is in our parking lot all the time.

Okay, this homeless guy is at the politically correct term. Yeah, homeless guy is in our parking lot all the time. And he's always hitting me up for cash. And I don't have cash. Which I just true, I really have cash on me. But this last time he's now washing windows for a dollar. And I was like, oh, this is perfect the the the vines He's got hella dirty windows right now and I pull up and he says this to me and I go you know a hold on

Let me see and I only have a 10 in there. Fuck I'm gonna get this guy 10 right so I say I don't have a dollar But I have 10 bucks man. I said you know Merry Christmas and I have him $10 He's like oh my god. Thank you so much. He's like I'm gonna do all the windows I'm like rad cool so I go so I go in here in the studio and I come out to look at the car and it looks like he cleaned my windows with dirt. It's like smeared every, I just kind of moved it around. I think, I know.

I know, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then,

and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, Did you imagine? You and my money back, it does a shitty job. I don't know if I was feeling all good about myself. I'm like, oh, I'm doing something good here. The guys, and I felt good because he's doing work. This is what I appreciate that. And that's really what's important. Forget the holidays and all that bullshit. It really was, he was offering to do something.

And I appreciate that. I appreciate it's not just, hey, can I have money? It's like, hey, could I provide some of you? Or do you do Something of service. Arthur Brooks said this. For sure. He talked about this. He's a social scientist and he says, one of the best things you can do for somebody when

you help them is ask them for something in return because it gives them a sense of dignity. So his example was that, you know, if you give money to a homeless person, ask them to pray for them. Ask them to pray for you because then it makes them feel like, you know, it gives them a sense of dignity. Yeah. And I love that. I send a pray for them. Ask them to pray for you, because then it makes them feel like, it gives them a sense of dignity. Yeah, and I love that. I totally love that. Yeah.

Although one time, I bought a tray of food for a homeless guy and it had a sandwich, it had milk, apple, and a brownie. And I gave it to the guy and in right in front of me, he took the brownie and threw everything else away. I was furious. I was really mad. I've had somebody do that where they've refused food for me. They just wanted cash.

Yeah. I was just like, I've had that. I've had one for you. Now you just piss me off. Fast food driving and I get like, I'll have no cheese, light lettuce, no mustard, order like, whoa, bro. Yeah, I could have just got you a burn out. Yeah, I know.

No, it's, it is interesting, but no, it does help with the, give the sense of dignity. I really appreciate that he said that. I mean, all joking aside, it's, you know, who was it that we were talking to you about the, Epidemic, Dr. Drew. Dr. Drew is an expert on homeless epidemic.

He said, what's statistically say? It was like 80 something percent severe mental illness. Yeah. Was it that high? I thought it was like half. No. No. It was very high.

Wow. Yeah. And he's like, you can't, he's like, they need medical help. You I do, I'm pretty passionate about that. Like I just don't see any movement in that direction. I just see a lot of, you know, well, I guess, you know, we're just gonna deal with it as it is. So nobody's done anything. No, you really want to help. You have to provide that help.

Okay, so that's okay. So if that's true, then what does that say about us if we're giving them money? Well, here's a deal. It's enabling. Sure. Why, right. So you'll dive into that. It's enabling. Sure. Right, right. So you'll dive into that a little bit.

If you know that, I know that stats are real true, right? And we know that giving them money isn't really helping the root cause of what's going on. Is that really more selfish than is selfless? What do you mean? I mean, you're to do an act like that. Like for your own ego? You're right.

Oh. So we know that. And most people listening probably know this too. That's it. Like for your own ego. You're right. To get, so we know that. And most people listening probably know this too. That they did something good today. Right, right. It's a mental health issue. You know that just handing them a hundred dollar bill may help them get food or alcohol or whatever they're going to use it for that day.

And you're not really helping the root cause. Are you truly helping them? As it really a selfless thing that you're doing, or is it more to feed your own ego? I think it depends on the case. I think if you, I mean, some people are genuine, right? And in short, you might actually help feed that person for the day. I don't want to discourage anybody, helping anybody,

but I do think it's important to look at it from a public policy standpoint. Public policy wise, then it is wise, if we're going to invest money, invest it in solving the root cause. If we're going to have programs that invest it in solving the root cause. If we're going to have programs that's addressed, you know, how to really help that community. But I do, honestly, like, and we sound a little bit harsh,

but I usually give, it's like no stipulations attached. It's just something that, okay, I feel compelled. So here you go, I'm out. You do whatever, I'm not going to judge you with what you do with it. Yeah, now it's your choice. Yeah, and honestly think about this way, like, if okay, find the guy buys a, or girl buys a drink, or whatever, you know, temporarily does make him feel better. And, you know, who am I to judge, you know,

so you can check on, go down. Speaking of mental illness, by the way, did you guys see the guy that married his sex doll? Did you guys read about this? Yes. Yeah, dude, I feel like we brought this up. We did. We brought it up when he was dating her.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I was serious. We did. We brought it up when he was really escalated. Yeah. We brought it up last year when he was first starting to date her. And that was, and that was right around the same time

we were talking about like, is this what's gonna happen, you know? You know what's funny about this? We're just according. This is what's funny about this. That he actually dated her to wait to see if you want to get married. You know what I mean? I don You're just hoarding. This is what's funny about this. That he actually dated her to wait to see if you want to get married. You know what I mean? I don't know if I want to commit myself.

I got to respect that. If I want to commit myself to the set, it's not responsible, I think. But you're actually getting very, very, very, how does he do more so? I don't know. Thruster with the garbage. By the do it.

I mean, I, goodbye. Sounds very responsible. Dude, I'm, okay, this is a big problem. This is gonna be a room for upgrades. This is a big, exactly. This is a big problem in the future. Nobody, nobody's really talking about this, but you know, everybody talks about AI's gonna kill humans.

Oh no, there's a pandemic. Oh, what about economic collapse? That's not what I worry about. Here's what, this is a real threat. We're, we're, we're, we're, we're gonna leave our house and we're just be fucking dolls all the time. Yes. That's really what we have. If sex dolls become realistic,

which by the way, we're all dead, which by the way, it will go there first. Most of the money, most of the tech, most of it, we'll go there. That's how we're gonna innovate like crazy. No, we're marketing, they all watch what porn does. They made that whole thing. Yes.

Dude, listen, if a sex robot is pretty damn close to a human, do you know how many, how fucked will be? I mean, not literally, but also, but figuratively, like, we'll be totally screwed. Totally screwed. Do you know how many people? Now, I don't know. Will you though? Or will it help a lot of people? How's it gonna start? Sure. I mean, I'm sure it's set us up for a future sponsorship. Maybe it's good for health. Possibly. Possibly.

I mean, imagine the guy who's just, he's crippled with anxiety at home and has no relations whatsoever. And, you know, I mean, her. That exact, I was just thinking about that. Even if it's just audio. Right. You know, but now I see it like because think of like technology in stages, right? So like I anticipate, so he just married a doll,

like a physical thing. But I'm sure there's gonna be like this app or whatever adaptive thing where he can listen and like it's some like AI voice because that's easier for him to engineer right now. Right. I don't okay so that's like attached to her and then they get all weird.

Now you're talking about the fringes that the dude that's got mental illness or issues and you know stuck at home And whatever I get that okay, but it's gonna penetrate Mainstream I know but what if it trades off okay, so it sucks in a couple kids that were normal And now they're stuck in their rooms all day humping these dolls, but then it helps 20% of depression out there. No, you ain't get a solved depression. I fucking a robot. You don't know that, do we have a minute?

Oh, come on. You're a terrible relationship, you know? Come on. Like brandy, you know? You don't knock it to each other. Just try it. You ain't gonna get a sense of meaning in your life by being in a robot.

I, okay, I'm not gonna get it. Unless they program it right. Like, that's too easy. Make it a little difficult. I'm not gonna get into a religious debate on what I think it is. It's morally right or wrong with it, but I mean, what if it does, what, I mean, how many people out there are, are riddled with that anxiety, depression, stuck in their homes, doesn't, don't socialize, don't interact, you know, are the, are you? Are you calling relaxation robots? Yeah. You know, welcome to release.com.

I don't know, again, it's still, it plays into? You maybe, you know, welcome to release.com. I don't know, again, it's still, it plays into what I, where I think we're going, which is this society that is half plugged in, half disconnected. I mean, to me, we're just, oh, that reminds me, do you guys see the, you guys, which one are you with the kids with the row blocks? Yeah, both of them.

Both of them. Both of you guys have kids. Oh, you talking about the concerts? Yes, that's like the new big thing, right? Is this like an all immersive experience? Well, that's why they're so sucked into it. Well, think about it. If you have an audience of, you know, hundreds of millions of kids who are growing up and you want to market to them, why not put a marketing in their video games? That's the next frontier. So they're putting concerts live concerts. Well, it's just new frontier. So they're putting concerts, live concerts.

Well, it's just new. It's just that it's taking off because the pool is much bigger. When you get the kids one over, you have a whole new thing. World of Warcraft's been doing this for a long time. They sell things within the video game and people have stores and things that they pop up. So I don't know a lot about it. So maybe you guys can help me out. But what I envisioned right away,

when I read this article is thinking like, oh my God, how crazy is this? And I think so, I forget the rapper is some terrible with these new rappers, but there was like two big rappers. Probably something like two pumper. Yeah, two punch up. That's what's the best.

47 cents. It's something like old cut. Anyways, Twitter, what I envision it, and I think they had like, all the guys. Anyways, Twitter, what I envision it, and I think they had like, I wanna say 50,000 or 100,000 people attend or whatever I thought, you have 50,000 of these kids in there that are interacting. And I imagine they all have avatars and characters

that represent themselves, right? And so they can interact and chat and talk. And I would think, imagine being able to do this because you're under age kid and that you would totally buy into this, being able to buy drinks for each other and flirt and talk and meet and network like that. And that in the app is that,

oh, you know, you met Cherry and she's across, you know, in Florida and you're over here in California and you're just majestic. Sounds like a pedophile playground. If you ask me, there's always going to be that my name is John and I'm only six. Yeah, but here's the thing though. You're and you talk about this all the time with going back in history. I mean, I'm sure everybody thought about that when the first playgrounds came around.

And also, you can see the person. I you know, you so what though, you can dress up like you're the one. You're the one that says you're not a kid. You say this all the time, so you cannot be the person to say that. Like, you're the one who talks about like, that's how we were with newspapers, and that's how we were with radio,

and that's how we were with television. Like, are we just be acting that way that, oh, this is a, oh, this is great. All I know is this, okay. When we have robot fucked-alls, the weirdest human depravities that you can imagine are gonna come out and in accident you're gonna get like think about it if you have brothels with robot sex

styles they can have every fantasy have those you don't know i mean you're like robot ones that like talk to they can have real like oh you know uh would you like room number one where do you get to murder her right afterwards a room number three where it's a you know oh my god you don't do you want to know they'll be rules there's always rules dude and then they'll be under great don't break the robot and then they'll be underground stuff. Yeah, you can't murder the robot stop it. What why wouldn't they? It's not a human you all pretend to rope to kill it. Well then it would cost you more than the robot cost a bill which gonna be a lot of. Oh, I mean you can't break the robot but you can

Robots. How do you murder a robot and not break it? It acts. You know? You... Ah! I can't breathe. Ouch. I mean, how's that different? How's that any different than the video games these kids are playing where they shoot

a virtual character and they die? Are you acting so violent to me? I mean, joke me harder. I don't know. I just think that it sounds. Turn my gears. So foreign to us.

And scary to us. It's so scary. It is, but. It's so scary. But then that's sounds so foreign to us and scary to us. It's so scary. It is. It's so scary. But then that's just, by the time these robots, sex, we get to come around, we'll all be in our 80s.

Yeah. You're going to have one. Yeah. You're going to be 80 years old and may hopefully be tired and successful. Do the mind. Everything is escalating way too fast. Everything is getting weirder and weirder.

So are you guys watching any of this stuff with your kids on the road? I'm not very, well from other than the articles I'd read, I don't even know how the game works. Well, there's ways to actually like put firewalls around it so they don't have this all immersive experience, which is something that we've looked into quite extensively. Because you know, with kids being kids, like the, of course, like that's gonna be like a massive appeal to them. Like, oh, yeah, let's go check all this crazy stuff out. But it opens them up, you know, to conversations with

who the hell knows. And I don't like that. I know, I thought I was talking to my buddy. He's got twins that are one and a half years old. And we were talking about all this. I'm like, man, it's a weird world because I don't know, there's no playbook. It's also fast and changing and so different. Yeah, but don't you guys feel like,

you know, the kids that are coming up, like, for example, do you remember when you first heard what a catfish was? I mean, I didn't know what it was and for a long time, kids younger than me knew what that was. So they're getting educated on that, whether it's you educating them or not, in other ways of what to be careful for.

Yeah, but as old people, as parents, we look at and go like, oh my God, it's so freaky. But in that, there's enough kids that have probably been screwed over by cat fishing and so that, that they talk to each other. Yeah, yeah, that's, I mean, I get that, but what I'm saying is as a parent, to be prepared to talk to your kids about certain things,

it's so, it's changing so fast now. Like, the way I grew up was definitely different I'm saying is as a parent, to be prepared to talk to your kids about certain things. It's so, it's changing so fast now. Like the way I grew up was definitely different than my dad's generation, but it wasn't so radically different. You know what I'm saying? It wasn't so crazy different that he couldn't, you know, talk me through certain things.

It's so different now. Well, yeah, I mean, I highly suggest is I actually have been trying to really get better at You know really going through that like so I play I'll play with them every now But I just want to know this is what you tell Courtney. Yeah, it is What are you doing over there? I'm trying to figure it out. I'm gonna get you Just bought a cool bazooka. Yeah, yeah, no seriously though Like I think that for for me to be able to see potential things

that I'm like, I wanna know where this could potentially go and what I need to look out for. And I know that, yes, they kinda know that whole landscape and environment and all that, but they're not looking at it from a predatory perspective, which is something that I'm always considering. Even when we're walking down the streets, I'm looking around for the shadow.

Potential fucking furriers and whoever else is around the corner. You know what I mean? There are adults that wanna kill you or bang you. Yes, everywhere, everywhere. Everywhere you look. They're hiding. Just gonna shed the kids.

I don't wanna tell them all that. That's too much. Yeah, I know. Anyway, I actually was having this conversation with my kid and we were talking about like a prevalence of kidnapping and stuff and I'm like, it's, you know, it's dropped considerably. It was way more dangerous when I was a kid.

And he goes, is that because kids are not out as much? Like that's a good point. It's probably harder to pick off kids nowadays. 100% And it was back in the day. When we were outside playing all the time, without cell phones, I'm sure you easy to kidnap someone compared to now. I can't believe I walked home for miles Oh, I know like that you can never do that. Yeah exactly. But now like if you're a kidnap or driving around

You're like, man, there's no kids outside Anybody gotta go to these concerts. Yeah, you gotta go back to Roblox Anyway, did you guys read the article on I do that thing. Anyway, did you guys read the article on COVID from the discovery from the Red Cross? Did you guys read about this? No, no, no, no. I was still tripping on the Johns Hopkins.

Was that the, oh yeah, the one that said that the death toll or whatever? Yeah, okay. So what's this one? So this is trippy. This is saying that we had it before, right? Way before. So the Red Cross took blood samples that were taken

in early December. So I think this was like December. I wanna say, I shared the article with you guys. Of course you guys didn't read it. You never read taken in early December. So I think this was like December, I wanna say I shared the article with you guys. Of course you guys didn't read anything, you never read anything in a send. Yeah, most of it's poor. Well, how can you really trace it now? And it seems like you know.

Yeah, it seems like something interesting in an hour yet. Okay, so they tested all these blood samples and they were in early to mid December. I'm trying to get the exact date here. In 2019, so December 2019, and they found people with COVID antibodies. Now remember, these samples were taken, I think the 12th, like 12th and 13th of December, yeah, okay, here we go. The blood samples were collected between December 13th and January 17th, and they found antibodies in a lot of these blood samples.

Now, antibodies take a week or two to build. Yeah, but could you ask you a question in terms of COVID specifically, because there's multiple versions of it, right? COVID-19. Yeah, but then, so that was specifically COVID-19. It was, and you have to have had COVID-19 to build antibodies for you not, okay?

No, it's not possible. So, and it takes a week or two to get these antibodies, meaning if you go in on December 13th, which was the earliest sample that they found, December 13th, and you have antibodies, that means at least at least a week earlier, at least what you had had COVID, if not way before that. Wow. So and there were 39 samples that you had to imagine 39 out of how many? A thousand, thousand something. But the early, okay, so the earliest ones came from guess where? California.

California, Oregon and Washington. We'll think about the, you know, where's the closest to travel and fly? Like a lot of times you'll take flights from California over to. A lot of Chinese people back and forth between California and China. So, here's the thing now. I mean, I'm telling you, people, December, January, February and March in this area,

I knew more people that got strangely very ill that did not have the flu than I can remember. So that's okay, so that's what I wanna know, because I'm still, even though I went to. I feel like we didn't need you to know that. I know, I was so convinced that that thing that hit my group of friends and all of us. It hit you guys first. It hit all of us.

There was a house of eight of us. This is back in December. It was. It was December of last year. It was like nothing I have had in. Was it one of your friends, Chinese? No. She's mong. Oh, never mind. She wasn't even there. Yeah, and she wasn't traveling

Okay, there's nothing to do with it. Sorry, just a racist I kind of make it more like I was a call you racist whenever I possibly get a feeling that's a popular thing to do. Yeah, if you do it I can't but going back to bomb. I can't say bum. No, you can't No, fuck can't say anything. I can't say bomb. You can't say bomb. No, you can't. No, what the fuck? You can't say anything anymore. You can't say bomb, you can't say hobo. Really? Yeah.

Even though, yeah, like hobo, like interestingly enough was a way that they would travel to go do work, right? Yeah, on railroads. Yeah, so that's where that comes from. Yeah, school me on that, I never heard that. What's that mean? Yeah, so they would have like, I don't know if it's different. Is it an acronym?

Does it stand for something? Probably. Look it up, Doug. I don't know what place it is, but they would have like I don't know if it's isn't is it is it acronym does it stand for something? Probably look it up. I don't know. But they would have like sack of their you know, you know supplies and they would like hop these these railroads and then they would land in in like farms and they do work and then they go back and you know they basically live like a it's a hobo is a migrant worker or homeless vagrant especially one who is in pauvish the term originating in the Western, possibly Northwestern United States, were on 1890, unlike a tramp who works only when forced to

and a bum who does not work at all. A hobo is a tramp? And a bum is a bum, so okay, the guy that I met was not a bum because he worked for the money. So he was a hobo, but he didn't travel. Yeah, I mean he traveled the part of the service. All right. So anyway, so bum is not a politically incorrect term.

It's just, no, no, it is. It's still politically incorrect. Why? I don't know. People just don't like it. Yeah, you can't say certain words anymore. Oh, that's how we do this. So this is what you two agree on now.

No, people don't like. People don't like a word. We just get rid of it. I'm more sensory new. I'll guarantee you right now you'll get several DMs from people. I always do, so I'm not worried about that. All right, so anyway, tell me about the COVID thing you were saying.

So you guys got it. Yeah, so it went through, I mean, so Justin, Jared, your, their daughter, Justin's son, Janet, me, I think Katrina was like, the only one who didn't get it. So like seven of us, and it wrecked me for like two weeks. And even after the two weeks was up, I still didn't feel good for almost a month.

And I can't remember, and we had all the symptoms. And didn't you say a couple of them got tested for the flu and that was negative? Yeah. Yeah, see. Yeah, it was for the flu there. Yeah, and then remember. But now, okay, so, but.

Anybody who's sending this thing is so awful too. But here's the thing though. And this is why we, I guess we didn't have it because now, okay, so, but. Anybody who longs that stays. So, but here's the thing though. And this is why we, I guess we didn't have it because okay, maybe my test is wrong, but my buddy's wife Janet, who's the nurse, she's already been retested, doesn't have the antibodies. My other buddy who's the principal, he's been tested

and doesn't have the antibodies. So we've all been tested. Maybe you guys got COVID-18. Mm, yeah. It was the first round. I don't know, man. I felt like we had it. Remember we went, we did that event that I said,

probably not a good idea, because we might get sick in which we did. And then I got illicit and Jessica and I were, she would cough so hard she'd throw up. Yeah, it was nasty. Yeah, it was all the symptoms. It was bad. I mean, to me that's so.

That sucks if it wasn't COVID. What a waste. Yeah, it was all the symptoms. It was bad. I mean, to me, that's so... That's oxifot wasn't COVID. What a waste. Yeah. At least I can have... I was fine that whole time just to put it that in there. Yeah, you do have a pretty strong immune system apparently. I think I just stayed dirty. Cheat.

And I, you know, I feel surprised. All the other viruses in that bacteria on showers. I just live with bacteria. We're one. All those STDs just think that you're out of your country. I have to give you credit where credit's due here. Boy, you're juved commercial, man.

That was awesome. Awesome. You know, the audience doesn't know this. Go to the MindPunt Media Instagram page. Yeah, we don't get to see these. So this is some projects that Justin's been working on. So one of the things we're trying to evolve the media side of the business and're trying to evolve the media side of the business

and creating these really high level commercials, this is the beginning of it, right? So I don't expect much, but every time Justin seems to over-deliver and the magic spoon one now and now the Juve one has just been fired. Yeah, I'm trying my best to try and over, like to outdo the previous one. And that's sort of like the goal with that.

But yeah, it's so much fun, dude. It's funny, because now it's like I can scratch my own itch with wearing wigs and costumes. And you guys are big fun to me. So I go off on my own and I do that myself in my safe space. And then I come back and I present it to you guys. So I'm glad that the end result at least is acceptable. It's good stuff.

Yeah. I enjoy it. Hey, there isn't, I want to bring this up. So I just read this the other day. So back in the day, do you guys remember the supplement CLA? Did they sell that at 24? Yes. Okay. It was part of the Ergo Gin. Ergo Gin, so.

Ergo Gin was the brand right there. Yes. Ergo Gin stack. So CLA is a fatty acid called conjugated, I think it's conjugated linoleic acid. If, I think it's conjugated, linoleic acid. If I'm not, yeah, conjugated linoleic acid. So this is a fatty acid that when you switch out other fatty acids in your diet,

replace it with CLA, people get leaner, and they build more muscle. So this was a bodybuilding supplement for a long time. It was really popular in the 90s, early 2000s. Still, you can buy it today. Is the theory that it actually suppresses appetite? What's the, I can't remember what's, no, it's got a thermogenic effect.

So I thought it was actually an appetite suppressant. I'm not, no, that's not what I've read. I've read that it actually encourages fat burning and then it has this muscle preserving or muscle building effect. So bodybuilders would take it in the past. There's a supplement. Well anyhow, grass fed meat twice as much CLA,

because beef has CLA in it. Grass fed meat twice as much as grain fed meat. Oh, interesting. So it's not a ton of CLA, but if you're like me and you eat meat all the time, I eat red meat every day, once or twice a day. Speaking of grass fed beef, one of the things that you have to know

if you're somebody who's first getting introduced to eating grass-fed beef, aside from its normal, a little more expensive, is that it's leaner. And so if you go into it thinking like you've had the best steak ever from wherever Ruth Chris or your favorite place, and then you go and try and compare a grass-fed steak

to be taste better because it's just not gonna beat it. So I'm always looking for ways to eat healthier, but then still make it taste as amazing. The Insta Pot, we did the, so I just, we- It's the pot's amazing. Yeah, I did the tri-tip. I did the grass-fed tri-tip and the Insta Pot.

Not only does it cook it like super fast, but what I like about the Insta Pot too, is like we can put it on, and it's very similar to like cooking like the sous-vie, where you can put it on and it's very similar to cooking like the sous-vie where you can put it at a temperature and then leave it like all day. So we'll put it in the Instapot, set it at the temperature that we want to cook, go do, go about our thing, and you could cut it with a fork. Yeah.

See, that's interesting because I know with, like you'd mentioned, it's a bit leaner cut, it's a bit tough, but the way that you cook it makes all the difference. And I was thinking more of like a smoker, like a slow cook approach too, which is another, you know, way, I wanna, that was something I'm looking at, a purchasing to start really like, barbecue like crazy.

That's good. Doug does it that way all the time. Yeah, the grat, the, the tri-tips from butcher box were pretty good. Yeah, they're really, really good. So here's what I do. I salt the shit out of them on both sides. Then I go olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder.

Then I get an iron skillet. And I get a real hot, put a little olive oil in the iron skillet. And I brown both sides. High size to keep the juice in. Then I put the whole thing in the oven at 375. And I have a meat thermometer. So as soon as the inside hits about 130,

that's like a foolproof way to get it cooked perfect. Oh, and then when you, you know, I let it sit and then you slice it in the, you know, the nice seasoning on the outside and the meat. So is that technically the right order dug? Cause I will do the ends to plot and then I see her afterwards. Oh, I'm not using this, that's what the oven.

I know, so, but am I doing that wrong? I think both ways would work. Okay. But you have to pick one right now, which one's better? Yeah. It's like every time I get in a line, and you guys would see. Yeah, I, just, I would follow your, your method

for doing the other method, but I would go that way with the Instapod. Oh, that's so politically correct. No, no, I would. I'm not trying to be politically correct. That's just how I would do it. Yeah, okay. For example, if I would use a sous vide,

I would sous vide it first and then it would sear it and end. Right, so that's how I did it with sous vide also. Well, that makes sense because if you sear it and then sous vide, it might ruin the sear, right? Wouldn't it kind of? Yeah, get all soft. It would get all soft in there. Yeah. Yeah, you want hard meat.

Yeah, you want hard. On the outside. I mean, it's good. Wow, speaking of our sponsors, I was looking there. Yeah, you want hard meat. Yeah, you want hard. On the outside. I mean, it's good. Wow, speaking of our sponsors, I was looking up. Oh, good tradition. All right. I was wondering how much you made. You're gonna wonder how you could get out of that.

Yeah. I looked hard meat, speaking of that, let me talk about one of my sponsors. So, hold on a second. So I looked up stuff on sleep. We know all the things that impact sleep and had it improved your sleep. We've talked about it on the show many times, but I want to know what were the most important things? Like, what's what are the most important factors that will impact your sleep?

Uh, you guys want to take any guesses? Uh, matching your circadian rhythms. Uh, yeah, I guess that's pretty important, but what do you mean? Like, not just like going to bed. Yeah, like, like closer to in the sun. Oh, so it's, I know what my personal one is. It's temperature. Yeah, so yeah, yeah.

That's what the studies say. Oh, okay. Studies say the most important thing is a cool room. Yeah. So I did a little more research. Here's the theory behind it, right? So we obviously evolved as hunter gathers, whatever. They said essentially what you're doing is you're recreating the fact

that you're sleeping in a cave at night. So cool. Because it's cool. that you're sleeping in a cave at night. So cool. Because it's cool. It's dark. Yeah. And a cave. So makes kind of sense, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No. 65 degrees was the temperature that they said most people sleep best at. 50, like, five. So yeah. But even though those 65, most people do not like, I mean, our most husbands don't get

allowed to get their thing down. So I have to fight for 66 right now. So like it's a like also 60. So ours. No, it's not. It is. Dude, at night, we cut it down. It's like 65.

It's 65, maybe 67. Like if we want it like if it's really cold outside, we're kind of making up for that. But then we turn it down to 60 right before we go to bed. So you guys do that. Yeah. Oh, wow. So your kids must be like, oh I know downstairs dude, so cool.

It's like an ice box dude. I'm trying to win hope, win hope then. You know? You're poor kids. Yeah, that's a part that sucks about my house too. So you know, mine's this three levels, right? The bottom level is like, cold, I mean, see your breath cold, but then you get all upstairs, it's like 68.

Yeah, so it's like, it's tough to try and keep the, and that's where all the bedrooms are. Yeah. Well, now we have the baby. So it's, uh, everything's about the baby. So, yeah. So house, the 70, 70 rooms. So what I did, and you could do the same thing, I actually stole one of our, uh, portable heaters here, and we regulate his room. So we had, on the Nanit, it has a temperature. So we manage his room with that heater, and then I keep the rest of the house cold. He's sleeping in the same room right now though. He's so young.

You know, we do, we put him in this little, I call it the Noah, not Noah, the Moses bed. Oh, why do I know that? The docketop. Is it what? A docketop. Why do you know all the names of shit? Huh?

Is that the designer of a brand guy? Yeah, it's totally brand snot. Anyway, it looks like I call it the. Yeah, it's totally brand snop. Anyway, it looks like I call it the Moses bed because it's like the bed that Moses was put in when you sit down the river. Like a wreath basket. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, we put him in there in the bed so he's in our bed with us.

That was one of, I think, one of the best investments we got was the doggatop. Oh, there it is right there. Doggatot. Oh, the doggatot. Yeah, it's it. I like that name. It's fun. Yeah, I don't know who got that for. Was it you? Maybe you guys got that for us. I don't remember what we got. We got you guys a bunch of other terrible. I probably even know I spent more money on you than that.

Come on. Did you get me something Justin? I did. Oh, I got through Courtney. Yeah, she's good with that stuff. Yeah. Does that happen you guys when you guys go to like a birthday party whatever and the kid opens the gift? Thank you, and you're like what I get you all the time Yeah, well, thank God in our Katrina and I been together for 10 years, right? So like all of my friends and stuff that I get shit all the time like my best friends that we go back to childhood Like they get they give me so much shit because Katrina handles like all all scheduling all gifts all everything

Like so, you know that's the big running joke in our thread together is like, if we all want to get together, nobody asks me. It's just like, I'm not gonna ask Adam if they can get together in two weeks. I'll just text Katrina. Yeah, because you don't know what the hell's going on. Yeah, same here. Actually, Doug, I'm gonna send you something.

I want you to pull this up on the screen. So this is what Doug's gonna pull up right now is a picture of what the vaccination cards will probably look like. Yeah, so this was the Department of Defense, I like how it's the Department of Defense. I understand why it's... Defending the invisible enemy. Yeah, so the Department of Defense has released

the first images of a COVID-19 vaccination record card and vaccination kits Wednesday so vaccination cards will be used as the simplest way to keep track of COVID-19 Shots so it's weird. They didn't do this for the flu Yeah, or any other vaccine or any other. Yeah, so everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them So everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and tell them. I need a card to tell me.

It's not for you, it's for other people, I'm sure. So this is gonna be the card. Interesting. I'll look this up, I just have that. You guys think there'll be a black market? I bet you that there'll be a black market for cards like this. Of course, yeah, of course. You know what else I was thinking?

I was thinking at the moment, I'm sure later this is going to change. We have a postpartum doula, right? And so I was talking to Jessica and we're talking about, oh, what if we need a nanny or whatever. I was thinking about the value, at least until the vaccines are all out. It's actually valuable if you're working for other people in the service business to have had COVID. So you can tell them, oh, I already had COVID. Yeah, I already had COVID, you know, that's whatever.

It could become now like a selling point. Yeah, if you have like proof of that, and you can have, I mean, I could see that totally being like a selling point. Yeah, like, oh, we'll hire them. Oh, what about, oh, they already had COVID a month ago. They're immune, so now they can come into our house. So I got a message from my buddies, like,

why we're talking right now. It said in 20, this was over an hour ago, so or 40 minutes ago. It said in 20 minutes, California coming out with a new mandate. New mandate, yes. So what you saw in LA might be moving its way all the way up to us.

I was gonna tell everybody, stay home. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. How are they gonna enforce that? That's what I wanna know. I'm serious. We're not going to,

how would you, oh, just, just that I was, I don't wanna talk about the other people's mood. I'm just that I was blue about, God! No, seriously, how would you enforce that? That's what I want, that's a big question. Because what if a lot of people just say no? Well, they just wanna say that.

So they, you know, they sound like they're protecting everybody and they sound like this righteous hero of ours, you know, like keeping us from this like invisible enemy that's destroying all of us. I don't know, it's gonna be weird. I mean, I know way more nuanced than that. They can mandate whatever they want. The problem is, is gonna be enforcing it.

Well, the problem is their economy. Yeah, right now. That's a real problem. We, we hit records today, right? Is that right? Doug,. That's the problem. That's the economy. Yeah, right now. That's a real problem. We hit records today, right? Is that right? Doug, we hit in the US. Oh, I have the recording this podcast.

Yeah, I believe we hit records as far as death toll on a single day, right? No, so number one. Is that what it is? Number one in the world. Oh, wow. What do you know? We've been number one. We're number one again.

He had no shit in some getting very flaky. First in something. Yeah, no, it was a record in deaths, I think, in cases. So I think we're at over 200, as of the record in the podcast, 288,000, maybe, or something like that more. Yeah, so, hey, look, I tell you, I wish everybody the best.

I think the, I want everybody be healthy and safe, you know. Don't get me wrong, it's just, again, I just, it's frustrating existence right now. They, they, you can't keep using this as a way to curtail. Yeah, you can't just tell. It's the side effects of this. I mean, again, I look at my kids

and they haven't gone to school for a year. Oh my god. And they're stuck inside. And those heartbreaking pictures of even the, one, the schools that are open and trying to like, they put like chalk square. They're chalk square, they're all like looking at each other but with masks on and they're all like super depressed and lonely. It's awful. Well, we were transition, but you know, we've

been talking about the whole fight thing that happened with Logan Paul or Jake Paul. I mean, this big argument that there's going to be an opportunity for this boxing and fights that have nothing to do with, you know, these pro fighters, right? Did you guys see Snoop Dogg? What's he going to do? Snoop Dogg has started his own pro boxing league. Oh, okay, I thought he was going to fight because of a guy. Yeah, Google that up, Doug says.

Oh, I heard actually, like Snoop Dogg's pretty decent athlete. I mean, I actually heard he's thrown punches before. Snoop Dogg, I'm not even joking. He did like a football thing. I saw that years ago. Well, yeah, he used to, yeah, he used to be, I mean, his son's a really good. Whoever his agent is, is a football athlete.

Have you seen, he gets involved, he did like a cooking show with somebody. Smart the Stewart. Is that who he did it with? He had him in Martha Stewart, Like ever since they did the roast, you guys ever watched those roasts in Comedy Central? Yeah. So they had like really good chemistry

So I, so I'll let me go first. So I read this app. This was like a thing for a minute. It was like a year or two where this kind of became a thing. So I was training this lady. First time I heard about it and she goes, I'm my friend lost, I don't know how much weight, 30 pounds, whatever. Doing this new diet called the HCG diet.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember when this was a thing? This is still a thing, yeah. So I was like HCG diet. I had a sister-in-law who just did this like a couple of years ago. Still? Yes.

Okay, so I'm like 100 calories and they run you on HCG. Well, let me get it, let me get it, go through this. So she goes HCG, so I'm like HCG. I'm like, you mean human, caronic, gonna add a trope in, or whatever, that's like the human hormone. Women produce it when they're pregnant. That's what birth, you know,

birth, whatever, peace sticks, or whatever, pick up. And if you give it to a man, it boosts testosterone. So athletes will take it sometimes to come off of testosterone, or whatever, so I'm like, is it this? It can't be that.

I don't think they could prescribe that for diet purposes, or whatever. Well, sure enough, that's what it was. And she says, the HCG makes women lose so much weight, So I'm like, is it this? It can't be that. I don't think they could prescribe that for diet purposes or whatever. Well, sure enough, that's what it was. And she says, the HCG makes women lose so much weight or whatever. So she's like, should I do it? I'm like, okay, they're gonna inject you with this hormone

or this precursor. I don't think it's a good idea. Definitely not. It doesn't sound like a good idea. Let me look at the whole plan. So she brings me the plan. It's 500 calories a day. Yeah.

500 calories a day. And then they inject you with the HCD. I look, here's a deal. If you It's 500 calories a day. 500 calories a day, and then they inject you with HDD. I look, here's a deal. If you're on 500 calories a day, they can inject you with anything. And you'll lose weight. It doesn't matter what it is. They can inject you with, I could put you on the, you know, the vitamin B12 diet.

I could put you on anything I inject you with. 500 calories you lose weight. So I tried to talk to her about this and said, look, you're gonna really hammer your metabolism. You're gonna end up losing a lot of muscle. And there's no way you can eat 500 calories to maintain. So when you go back, you're gonna gain the weight back. She didn't want to listen to me.

She ended up doing it. And I had a lot of damage control to do with her afterwards. But it was a thing there for a second. I'm surprised she's still doing it. Yeah, no, it's still a thing. I, like I said, my sister-in-law was just a couple, oh, maybe it was two or three years now, that she came to me. And she was already in'm still doing it. Yeah, no, it's still a thing. Like I said, my sister-in-law, she's a couple, oh, maybe it's two or three years now, that she came to me and she was already in the middle of it.

Like she was dropping weight, and we were all like a family event and everyone's like, oh, you look great, how do you do it? And she's like, oh, my doctor's got me on this HCG diet. And of course, my peak up, what? Explain to me. Same thing, she explains it to me. That was actually the first I had heard of it.

So you heard of it way before I did Um, and she came the way back. She of course and more so and I mean I she was already in the middle of it So I couldn't get her to stop and of course a doctor told her. Yeah, so you know, who's you know her brother? That makes me yeah, yeah, doctor tells her so of course I'm not gonna win this argument But I'm explaining to her. I was like, you know, sis., you really think that you're gonna eat 500 calories for rest of your life? Like, well, no, no, I just wanna get down to this, that's what they all say, right? You just wanna get down to this weight,

and then figure out from there, it's like, no, that's not how your metabolism works. So your metabolism will screw me up, and then we'll figure it out from there. That's what you're doing right now, is you're gonna get used to eating 500 calories, and then when you go back to normal life, and especially this family, I'm like, we drink and eat,

and we do all these festivities all the time, like, there's no way. I mean, you crush, you crush your weekly intake in one weekend with this family. I was like, there's no way you can sustain off this. So yeah, no, she, she ended up putting it all back on. So that's a terrible one. Here's another one that I still see this. This is really popular. Still is these body wraps. Oh, right. And the claims that they make, the amount of weight and calories it burns and everything, and it's really just water weight, right? And I didn't know exactly, it's hilarious. And it's like they wrap you in like saran wrap your entire body.

And they sit you on like a massage table and you know, I think you sit on there for like a good solid hour or whatever. I put like a heat suit. Like a heat lock. Yeah, they wrap you you like a few clients. Like a cocoon. And you know, it's funny because, you know, it's one of those things. This is like how-

It's a temporary like illusion. Yeah, exactly. You definitely look exactly. That's why it's like, it's how easily we are manipulated and why things that people can feel or see, we're so easily sold on right away. Because if you do go completely suffocate your body for an hour and heated up like super hot and sweat, you know, three pounds or five pounds of water out of you.

And then you get up and you look at yourself in the mirror. Yeah, you're gonna see, you're gonna look smaller. You're gonna feel close, but all you've done is just like, leaked out a bunch of water weight. As soon as you go pound a gallon of water at one point, you're gonna put it all right back on. And so it's very temporary. Yeah, and I mean, they charge big money and the claims

that they make for how many calories that you're burning in, and I was like, get the hell out of here with that. Yeah, another one is even just liposuction, you know. I remember as a trainer, I was young, I was 18 maybe, 18, 19, and I was doing this body fat test on this woman. And back in those days, actually it was the same kind of body fat test we did later on. So it was like bicep, tricep, sub scapula,

super, super iliac crest. So those are the four points that you do with the caliper test, right? So the bicep tricep, that's easy to know where that is. So the super iliac crest, it's right above the hip and then sub scapula that's below the shoulder blade. So you test all these points and I remember this woman came in

and she was overweight and so she did a free body fat test with me and I tested her bicep fold and then I went to her tricep fold. It was very strange because she had more fat on her bicep than she did in her tricep and that never happens. You store more in your tricep, especially for a woman. And here I am as a kid.

I'm 18 years old and I did this and I was like, this is very weird and her arm looks strange. She was overweight, but the tricep was laying in the bicep. So I sat her down and we started talking. I said, have you ever had liposuction? And she looked at me like I was some kind of wizard. How did you know? I said, while I tested your tricep and your tricep fold

was less than your bicep, it looks to me like you got well, I tested your tricep and your tricep fold was less than your bicep. It looks to me like you got fat sucked at your tricep. And when you went and gained the weight back, you don't lose the ability to store body fat. You just store it in other places now. So then when it ends up happening, is you store body fat. And now you have this weird fat storage on your body

because it doesn't store it like it naturally would. And she's like, no, that's what I mean people that have have have have sought out Lipo surgeon hate to hear this conversation, but I would tell I'm like I'd seen enough clients do it so much to my honestly I you look better 30 pounds overweight Natural naturally balanced the way your body genetically is made and designed to store body fat fat naturally balanced to a your body genetically is made in design to store body fat then to lipo and then put 30 pounds on a body. It was the same sort of a thing like I used to train a bit of obese clients like that would come in with a stomach staple and that was their their answer to you know shedding an extreme amount of weight because that was I mean obviously that was the big pressing issue was

like we got to get this way off. And so the doctor would sell them on, you know, being able to staple and like shrink the size of their stomach. They could only fit so much in there. They could eat whatever they wanted. So it just seems like, you know, well, I just get full. So I'm going to be good. And then this is, you know, how I'm going to live my life

from then on. And I'm going to keep shrinking. And, you know, and the weight definitely came off and it all went that direction. And I'm just like trying to tell them to, you know, be reasonable about this, like think about building muscle, think about long-term behaviors and habits and things like that. And inevitably, you know, most of them that I've stayed in contact

with have gained in spite of the size of their stomach or had stretched the stomach back to its original size. Yeah, the worst one that I've ever seen though, the worst was the tube that was attached to the stomach. Oh, yeah, yeah. We talked about that when we first started mind-blowing. It's attached to the stomach and it comes out of your body and you literally eat and then you go

and empty your stomach into the toilet. Yeah. It's bulimia. It's bulimia. You're just not throwing it up. You're putting it through to. Medicole bulimia the toilet. Yeah. It's bulimia. It's bulimia. You're just not throwing it up. You're putting it through two. Medico bulimia. Crazy.

Yeah. Next question is from Sarah Gottfried. How does aging affect weight gain and metabolism? How much of an impact can resistance training have on this? So aging does affect both. You tend to lose muscle as you age. Hormone starts to change and men testosterone starts to decline. Of course, women go through menopause, which is a huge

hormonal shift. You lose strength. As a result of the weight, the muscle loss, your metabolism starts to slow down. Resistance training, how does it affect it? It has a massive impact on all of this. Tremendous impact. In fact, as you age, the impact becomes bigger for your body in the context of your age. And so what I mean by that is,

if I were to take two 20-year-olds, one being fit, who exercises every day, and the other one being the typical 20-year-old who doesn't really exercise and just eats whatever, you would definitely notice a difference between the two. But if I were to take a 60 year old, or one of them had been working out for years every single day and eating right, and the other one was the typical 60 year old, the difference is profound.

Nighting day. Profound. The difference is now one person is fully functional, totally independent, healthy, good vitality and libido, and the other ones ill on medications and has lost mobility. So as you age, resistance training, now you can't, you're not going to fight, it's like you can't live forever, you're not going to stop the clock. But boy, do you make a big difference?

And in comparison to your peers, the gap gets so big as you age if you maintain a good lot of confidence. It the gap gets so big as you age if you maintain a good loss. Yeah, I definitely think that there's declining factors as you age for sure, but if you were to actually repeat the same patterns of healthy practices, resistance training, eating correctly from your 20s and carry that on a consistent basis all the way up. Like, I would be surprised to see it dip that much versus, you know, what just inevitably happens over time is we get consumed with other interests or, you know, we have a family or we have, you know, business or, you know, we're sitting a lot like our patterns is what changes. And then our patterns contribute to these declines

in hormones and weight gain and things that you see. Patterns is what changes. And then our patterns contribute to these declines in hormones and weight gain and things that you see. Well, not only that, this makes such a difference. And I guarantee you guys have had this, because I've had this tons of times where I get a client at 40 or 50, who's never worked out before. And I get them training and dieting

and they're with me for a year or two. And then the response I give to them is they are stronger, fitter and healthier at 50 than they were any other point in their life. So that's how much that can affect you. And you guys are talking about, okay, someone who's been training their whole life and comparing a 70 year old who has and one that hasn't. Yes.

But it's so big of a difference as far as reversing aging that you could take somebody who's never trained and then at 40 or 50 put them in the best shape of their life at Advanced Age then they were when they were a teenager. Totally. Next question is from Lindsay Wundov. I'm struggling with pain in my toes and arches. How do you best strengthen the feet? Okay, so there are specific foot exercises that you can do. In fact, we have a lot of them in our maps prime pro. We have short foot and piano toes to be specific. Yeah, those are two easy ones, right?

So short foot is... Like in your arch. No, not easy at all. It was a thought, right, right. So short foot's one where you strengthen your arch. Piano toes is literally articulating your toes like you're playing the piano. But like strengthening anything, it's a slow process.

Okay, so what you don't want to do, just like working out the rest of your body, you don't want to jump in and do tons and tons of exercises right out the gates. You want to start very, very slow and be patient with yourself. For example, piano toes, for some people is so frustrating at first that they literally

have no connection to their toes. So you tell them to do piano toes, and all the toes move at the same time. It's really at the same time too, they can't individually articulate them. It gets frustrating. So yeah, definitely take your time with it. Definitely start with just trying to walk around barefoot.

And that's the easiest way to just get this going in the right direction, just to be able to start having that sensation and feel different surfaces. That's all going to provide feedback and get muscles a little bit more involved in the stabilization process that maybe we're dormant because of always keeping them confined in this sort of a cast through your shoes. And we're always trying to form things where our feet to be comfortable to where we're not really like training them

to be able to have like more strength and stability just like you would any other muscle. So I remember when Dr. Brink really broke me down and lighten me on how weak my feet were, and that was something that I started to really work on probably what three, four years ago now, and feel like I've come a long way. But I do remember what that looked like

when I first started, and so I first would start with trying to become a B-bearfoot more often, right? I was never bearfoot really, and I always trained in shoes. And what I'd have to do before I would start training is I would take the lacrosse ball, and I would roll the bottom of my feet just to kind of like wake up everything that was like completely like, I felt like my foot was like seized up, you know, like at that same, when she talked about pain in her toes, and then the arch and feet, I had that also. So I couldn't go from training in my shoes, my whole life, and also in barefoot training

because it would cause these like pain in my arches and in my toes. So the first thing I'd have to do is to kind of roll everything out with the lacrosse ball and then do exercises like short foot and piano toes and just kind of wake everything up. And then after I did that, then I would try and, you know, intermittently train barefoot, which was like once, maybe twice a week, and then got to the point where I'd start doing these walks, and if you've been listening to podcasts for,

which I think Lindsay has, so she might remember this. I used to like story this on when I was talking a lot about this three, four years ago, where I would, I started to walk my dogs, one of the two walks I walked in there, I walked them barefoot. So that was, for me, it's only like a 10 minute little walk that I would, I started to walk my dogs. One of the two walks, I walked them every day, I walked them barefoot. So that was, for me, it's only like a 10 minute little walk that I would do.

And so I just started incorporating more times where I was outside, in dirt, on ground, barefoot, and then also doing the little short foot and piano and then the lacrosse ball. And then it got to a point where that would became very consistent into my routine. And then it became where I point where that would became very consistent into my routine. And then it became where I was always barefoot training. Like I would be barefoot training

three to four times a week. And then starting to do exercises like tipitose squats, things that would start to really challenge and strengthen my feet. But that first you got to address the the connection, the lack of mobility and just getting used to doing that walking on sand is phenomenal. So if you're somewhere where you can get to a beach or a park walking around on that is really good to help strengthen the feet. But I think Sal said is you just got to be careful or just on who said it. You just got to be careful that if you haven't been training this way or addressing this,

you easily can overreach and then then you're gonna be sore and toes and arches hurting on the floor. Yeah, one thing to add to the walking patterns and just starting with that is to notice where a bit of wear and tears happening with your foot. So a lot of times you'll see that with like calluses or you'll just see like where it may be, like more pressure that you're applying

towards your big toe versus your pinky toe and trying to be conscious of that and even that out in terms of that triangle of points of pressure applying pressure. So basically towards where you tie your shoelace up there versus your big toe and your pinky sort of distributing that evenly. What a great point. One of the things after Brink and Lightning on this, up there versus like your big toe and your pinky sort of distributing that evenly.

What a great point. One of the things after brink and lightning on this, I started to kind of look at the bottoms of my feet more and I actually, I used to, and it's no longer there. So this is like for, to give people some hope that, that deal with this, I had a, on my left foot, I had them on both feet, but I had it more on my left foot. I had a massive callus that had been there my whole life on the inside of my, or excuse me, on the inside of my big toe of my left foot

because that was always... You were pressing it there. Yeah, I was pressing it, so pronating, right? So my feet, my heels were collapsing inward and I was always putting a lot of, and then it had just said this callus. I've had it my whole life and just thought that's how I was. It wasn't until I addressed all this and then I become very aware

that my feet were collapsing inward. And so I always try to put emphasis on rotating out. And it started with just the awareness of it. And for me, I know we're talking to a girl here, so this doesn't really apply, but just bear with me. Every time I would go pee at my house, I'd be barefooted, I would rock on the outside of my feet because I wouldn't, it would be standing still for a few seconds

and just getting that, that understanding what's going on and paying attention to that, and I do that at least three to five times in a day, and just becoming more conscious of how you walk and how you distribute your weight on your feet. Next question is from Dante Vitt, is the at-home digital fitness space getting crowded? No. Yeah, not even close.

No. No, I think it's a huge opportunity, huge market. There's a, if you look at the demand for fitness and the way people get access to fitness, and then you look at how many people have access to digital fitness, there's a huge discrepancy. I think the opportunity for digital fitness right now is massive. And it's massive because we have an artificial market pressure and a natural market pressure that is preventing people from going to gyms.

The artificial one being many local governments are telling gyms that they have to operate at 20% capacity, 10% capacity, or in some areas. They can't be open at all, and then there's a natural barrier right now, or pressure, which is COVID, so a lot of people are afraid of working out with other people. And you also have technology now, which is better than ever. It's easier now to stream workouts. It's easier now to communicate with people people. And you also have technology now, which is better than ever. It's easier now to stream workouts. It's easier now to communicate with people online. This is the beginning of a huge potential for growth

in the digital space, digital fitness space. I think in five or 10 years, it may be much more difficult, but right now is a great time in my opinion. I don't even know if it's ever going to get that difficult. I don't think there is enough trainers to service all the people that are out there. I mean, you don't, you really don't need as much as you think you do. I mean, if you got a few thousand people, two to three thousand people paying you on a monthly

reoccurring service that, and you're providing extreme value to that network, you can be never known. No one will ever know who you are except for those few thousand people, which is not a lot of people at all in the internet, e-commerce world, and be a millionaire. I honestly think it's massively needed. Because think about who's getting the money right now.

It's these influencers that have never even had a certification or any kind of fitness background, but they're just looking up to them for their body and all these dumb reasons. Go ahead. Yeah, and it's just like, to me, it's really upsetting, but also that to me speaks of a massive opportunity to get more people flooding the market

to actually like pull them into a right way of doing it. There is huge. Okay, so I just did this. I shared it at article on my story and I talked about this. We saw this really early on. We saw Bodybuilding.com and Beachbody, two leaders in the e-commerce space of you know digital fitness programming, right? That's probably two of the biggest names that are on the web. They can't. They can't. They can't.

And so, and they're doing, right, each one of those companies at this time, I don't think BodyBillion.com is doing billions anymore. At one point, I think they were up there or close to at least hundreds of millions of dollars in total revenue that's going through, trafficking through their stuff. For sure, Beachbody, they're two billion plus.

We saw an opportunity to do the things that they were doing better. I mean, we looked at it and went like, I didn't look at it like, oh my God, they're already selling. It's saturated. Yeah, it's so saturated because there's only $20 billion of revenue out there in the fitness space and they're taking two of that and so and so's taking one of that. And so there's no room for us. We looked at the people that were making all the money

and said, can we provide better service? Can we add more value than these people that are making billions of dollars? And the very quick answer by all of us was like, of course, yes, when we look at the programming, when we look at the content, the information they're providing, and we don't need to get to all, you know,

100 million people they have. I just, we just need to convince a small percentage. We just need to convince one to two percent of those people that we have a superior product or piece of content that we can provide for them than what they were doing. So I don't think the space is crowded at all. I think there's a huge opportunity for, I mean, you're some of the best guests

that we have on this show that are fitness professionals, like our good friends, like the Mike Matthews, the DeFranco, the Ben Pekolsky, the Paul Chex. A lot of these guys, and Laurie Christie King, you have a lot of these great people in fitness that are just making their way into the virtual world. And the virtual world's been dominated by these influencers for like the last decade. So if you're a good trainer and you have good valuable information, education and experience, there's tremendous value in this space. Well, there's also a huge opportunity to reach an untapped market.

Every time a new innovation happens in fitness that reaches an untapped market they explode. I remember in the 90s, in early 2000s, there was a company called Curves that opened up these facilities. It was women only. It was this really non-intimidating kind of circuit style workout with pneumatic equipment.

And they had reached an audience that had no interest or were intimidated to go to gyms. And the result of that was curves became the number one franchise and exploded all over the scene. Now they didn't succeed, but that's for other reasons. But they took off because they were reaching a segment of the audience, of the population that regular gyms didn't. Planet fitness kind of is doing the same thing.

They kind of are reaching people that normally wouldn't go to gyms. There's a huge percentage of people that are interested in improving their health and fitness. They don't want to go to a gym. They don't want to go to workout classes. They don't want to go to see people in person. But they may do it at home. And now with the internet and now with the way we can stream things, they may be available. They may now be a part of the market. So the opportunity right now is massive for digital fitness. It's the best opportunity I've ever seen for digital fitness. It's nowhere near a crowd.
