One of the most effective ways to lower depression,

improve happiness, reduce blood pressure, make yourself live longer and have better relationships is to have a spiritual practice. This is clinically proven and I'm blowing everyone's minds, but a spiritual practice has been proven to improve your health in almost every single parameter that they measure. I had a day in the life yesterday on the Mind put media IG and that was actually one of the I posted a picture of the two of you said ask anything about just or so and they actually asked me you know what your spiritual practice was so I didn't know you're going to go this direction but I I answered that I think it was prayer I said I didn't know for sure if there

was other practices or whatever would you guys say that you would that you your way of practicing practicing spirituality. Yes. And you know what's funny about this is that well, it's not funny. It's actually quite interesting is that when you pursue fitness, usually you get into it because you're trying to change how you look. So it kind of starts off as this cosmetic thing, maybe insecurity based, right? Then you go along that path. And if you stick to it long enough, you start to develop acceptance because either you're

aging or you realize, oh, like, I'm enjoying this for other reasons. Then you kind of develop this more health-oriented context around it. And then it's like, I like the mental effects, I like the psychological effects. And you continue to pursue health, eventually you land on spirituality. And what's interesting about this is in our space, there's lots of evidence-based individuals. Like, the evidence shows that the data is clear with calories, with proteins, with fats, with carbs. The data is clear with strength training. The data is clear with cardiovascular training. The data is clear with spiritual practices. So forget the and you know, forget the esoteric part, right?

The mystical aspect of it. People who have a spiritual practice are healthier. They live longer. They have lower rates of depression. They have happier children. This is all in clinical data. So a spiritual, if you're a health-minded person, and this is something that's important to you, you can't deny the data. There's something there, so I think it's important to be open-minded, because if you really want to improve your health, that is such a big chunk.

In fact, spiritual practice has as big of an effect on your health as diet and exercise. Well, I think it provides a lot of things that people sort of seek out and say that they do it in different sections. Like, so I'm seeking out purpose and I'm doing that through work or I'm doing that through relationships or seeking a way to de-stress. I'm seeking a way to kind of lower my overall volume of stress and prayer itself for me is a bit of a meditative process with

that too, which, you know, I do a bit of both, but I mean, they both serve like that same kind of purpose and physiologically, which is stopping and acknowledging, you know, things outside of yourself. And then also, I mean, to the first, I just lost my dreams. No, no, no, no, no, no, so check this out. This is what I think is really important because you're arguing about how it makes you feel purpose, meaning, and I think a lot of people understand that.

But where people don't get it is are the measurable physiological effects. For example, if I say to you, eating healthy has been shown to boost immune function in actual studies where they look at things like T cells in immune cell count, right? Spirituality's done this.

There's a study that was done at your University of Los Angeles, I pulled up right now, and it showed that HIV positive patients who meditated slowed down the decline in their immune cell count. Another study found that mindfulness produced demonstrable effects on brain and immune function. So it's not just you feel better, it's not just you have a better outlook on things.

They can actually measure and show changes in your physiology through a spiritual practice. So what would you connect this to? Because would you connect it more to the power of the mind, would you connect it more to the foundation of having morals and values and a greater purpose? What would you connect the scientific literature to the response? So there's obviously something is happening where with the people that choose to live a life that is ingrained.

And it could be any spiritual practice. They show this with all spiritual practice. So it does, it does, it does, it does, it does, it does. It's not one religion is superior to the other. It's that believing in a higher power and a purpose and having these kind of moral, these moral codes or values in life, what do you, what do you attribute?

Do you think that's just, it's because, you know, mentally the mind is that powerful that if I think positively, if I think that I have this reason, and therefore these things happen, or do you think there's something there? I think it's very complex. I think that's part of it. We've all been in tough situations,

where you're in this really tough situation, and then you find a way to reframe it. And usually that requires you take a 40,000-foot view of the issue. And then all of a sudden, that problem now, it goes from unbearable to, uh, it's a driver, right? Or it's motivating or there's, I can see the meaning behind what's going on. That definitely will affect your physiology, just how you think we've proven that. Is there a metaphysical part to it? That I don't think you can ever prove the metaphysical part.

That's where the faith part comes in. But the practice of the spiritual practices, it has a profound effect. And like I said, measurable metrics of just health. Which, why do I argue it does in terms of belief? So what does belief do in terms of like, if I believe that I'm gonna get better, if I believe that, you know, that I'm going to get better, if I believe that you know that I'm

going to heal, if I truly believe in that direction, you see placebo effects of that physiologically versus somebody who has maybe a negative aspect in their mindset towards recovering from certain things. So this is an interesting perspective listening to YouTube because we, and because now, and I'm like, I've formulated my own thoughts around this already, and I guess we've never really had this dialogue openly like this, and really thought about it, right?

Because I've had an interesting path with spirituality and religion. Like I grew up in it so strongly in the point that my parents wanted me to be a pastor one day and go in that direction. And I never had any desire to. And I had a, you know, we, we won't hash out all the things that I went through as a child and stuff like that with my father and my mom remarrying and all that. But I saw a lot of hypocrisy as a kid. And I saw a lot of dogma. And so when I got older, it really kind of turned me off.

Religion in general, spirituality in general. And I kind of, I wouldn't say that I straight away from my faith, or I didn't believe anymore, but it was just like, I was really turned off by a lot of that. The human element, the pageantry of it. You're right, for me. Well, you're right.

And that's, and that came full circle, and I, and I, and I, that came full circle for me. Now, later in adulthood, this is like getting into my mid to late 20s. What I started to notice in my life that really started to be really interesting to me was when I kind of like had abandoned going to church and thinking about that stuff,

it was no longer, it was no longer a thought for me of this is why I do this or not do this. I, I, I, I no longer really thought for me if this is why I do this or not do this. I know we're longer really thought like that anymore. But I still had that moral foundation was built because I grew up in it, right? So I did have the values still in there. And when I started to notice when I wasn't being forced out my throat or choosing to go somewhere and be in this collective group all the time was the more the things that I decided in my life aligned with these values that I learned through these spiritual practices, the better my life was.

And sometimes that meant sacrifice, sometimes that meant saying no, sometimes that meant taking the higher road. Oftentimes it was the harder decision. And many times I didn't, you know, and I would make the probably more expedient decision and what always would happen was shit would happen in my life that didn't go right. But every time that I made these decisions based off these values that were ingrained in me, my life enhanced and got better

and better. And it was really crazy. And I've gotten older now. And so I've realized that now, how valuable that is and how healthy my life has been. The people that I tracked in my life, the people that are in my life that I surround myself with, because I've become closer and closer to this person that has all these values. I now attract other people that are like that, which is also elevated my health mentally, physically, all those things. So for me, it's been a lot about the values that come with somebody who has a lot of these spiritual because you take somebody who grew up like me and then Katrina was very different.

They're very her family's very anti-religion, but then they have spiritual practices. So that was really an interesting, you know, situation for me for someone who grew up in a very structured, religious home and spiritual home. And then meeting somebody who had this kind of like free kind of spiritual out, he where it's just like, yeah, you know, no, not claiming that this religion or this belief is the way it is, but yes, there's a greater higher power. Yes, we should do good to others and like having those still some sort of a moral fabric

and then realizing like how good of people her, she was and her family, it's like, oh wow. So maybe it's less about, you know, the religion or my religion and it's more about the moral fabric and values that come from those practices. There's two things that I think about when I talk about that specific topic with that. One, how arrogant we are to look at spiritual practices that have existed for thousands and thousands of years.

Actually, I mean, recorded human history shows that humans have always had some kind of a spiritual esoteric type of practice. So how arrogant are we to say, we don't need that. I think we do. I think we do need that. And the ideas that have stuck around morality as it is, that you see lots of common morality and lots of different spiritual practices, lots of common, like different religions, different spiritual practices, and there's some common threads. That's wisdom, that's truth. And those things have stood the test of time, just like evolution, right?

So how evolution works is, you know, bad things that don't work, tend to get thrown out, good things tend to continue moving forward. This happens with ideas as well. And we're very arrogant to look at things and go, that's dumb, we're smart now. Let's just use reason. Reason is great, but it's super limited

because we're so smart that we can reason ourselves to almost anything. We can reason almost anything into existence and make excuses and reasons for why we act a particular way, why we take advantage. It's far more reasonable and more natural to look around at people and say, yeah, you're weaker than me. I should have power over you. We're obviously not all. We all aren't born with equal rights. That doesn't make sense. Your tall, your short, your handicap,

your not. With a strange belief system that we now take for granted is that we all have these kind of, we should all be treated a particular way, regardless of how we're born, where we're from, whatever. Now, it's not exercise perfectly, but that's a crazy belief that came from these spiritual practices, where there's a lot of wisdom. And then also this life is hard for everybody. Okay, it's always gonna be challenging for everybody.

And I know the argument, oh, some people have a heart of the others, I think that that's very general. I think it's hard to look at an individual and say, well, you have it easier than me because you're rich or because you're, because we don't know what's going on. What makes life bearable, obviously, is giving meaning to this challenge. Otherwise life is unbearable.

My God, we would be just seeking out drugs and pleasure and all the time, which we know of that lead. So there's value there. And then again, the argument that I'm making here is for health and fitness people who are data driven, forget all that stuff I just said. Look at the data. The data is clear. You want to live longer. You want to be healthier. If you're really pursuing health, that's really what you're after. you cannot deny the data. So at the very least, you should be open-minded and say, okay, there's something here. Just like exercise, the data is clear.

If somebody tries to debate with me against exercise, I'll show them all the data and say, look, here's a deal. Try it out, you got nothing to lose, be open-minded, all the data says. So the same thing is true of spiritual practice. The data is clear, you live longer, you're healthier, you have better immune system. You tend to have worse health problems.

You have better relationships. People tend to stay married longer and be happier. They had happier children. This is all proven in the data. So, you know, it's a part of health. So if we're a health, you know, if we're health influencers or podcasts or celebrities or whoever you are, you're a personal trainer coach. You can deny that.

The day is clear. To me, it's very similar to when you brought up those community studies that were kind of comparing relationships and toxic relationships with packs of cigarettes and versus like creating this community and like what that does for longevity in terms of your lifespan. And the thing about, you know, there's turn-offs and things for people with religion, but what it does provides a lot of structure there, a lot of purpose, a lot of community,

a lot of moral fabric, a lot of like thinking outside of yourself, which is a very important thing that I think these days, I don't see a lot of it because everything just is pushed into this narcissistic way of voicing my opinion of being me, me, me, me and like showing myself off at my best and just it's so self-consuming. What are you doing for other people?

How many times? I'm just like, that's like the first question I'll ask somebody that's like, you know, in this sort of state of like depression or just like, I just don't's like, you know, in this sort of state of like depression or just like, I just don't feel like, you know, things are going well. Yeah, well, look, religious people is a fact. Again, this is data.

Religious people are more charitable. It's a fact. They give more time, they give more money, and they actually literally help more people. Not that they signal that they help more people. They don't post on their social media that they help more people. They don't get mad and rage on social media. social actually the data shows they actually do more for others

And it's the religion. It's the spiritual practice that moves you in that direction And it's not as much as your obeying words, but rather when you know it's a hack So you're actually touching on set so I actually I was journaling the other night and kind of this is weird We're going this direction and What you guys are talking about is something that I wrote down because it was, I was trying to define, you know, just a handful, three to five of my truths. Or if I were to go back and tell my younger self, like, these are some of the biggest hacks in life.

If you can figure this out, young, like to get like and that was what inspired me to to start and write things. I'll read you one of them that is to the point you're talking about and it's it's actually a Bible verse, 2 Corinthians 9, 6 through 8. Remember this whoever so sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever so generously will also reap generously. And that you hear that you hear that a lot of different versions right? Like you get what you give the energy you put out. Yeah. Back like you hear that a lot of different versions, right? Like you get what you give, the energy you put out, you come back, like you hear that a lot of different versions. But I mean, that's that's something that I've I've lived my my life by, which is, you know, and here's a here's a non religious way you've heard it before, which is you're true

net worth is your net work, you know, and part of building a large network is doing service for other people and living in a life like that where you don't expect something in return. That's like the secret sauce and a lot of the success that I've had in my life is understanding that and having those values of like, I look for people, one that I like and I want to build a relationship and I look for ways that I could be of service to their life. And that ends up always paying me back. Now it doesn't always pay me back with that one person and you have to understand that.

And also you're not doing it for the payback. And that's why you have to do it like that. Because if you do it like that, then you start counting. Like, oh, I done that. And I help this person. They burn me. And it's like, okay, that does happen to me. Let's say 10 times, I live my life that way

where I don't expect anything to return. I genuinely want to give to this person. I want to be of service. I want to help them. But you know what does happen? Is that one person out of 10? And that one person completely radically changes my life. Either levels me up in a whole nother way,

ends up being a crazy best friend or partners, or something else in my life that takes me so much further than those nine other people who did nothing for me. And so if you can live your life that way where you look at it like that, you don't expect anything return, it does pay you back. Well, so you know, people talk about authenticity all the time. Like, oh, be authentic.

This is a big thing on social media. Be authentic. Authenticity is doing things for example, time, like, oh, be authentic. This is a big thing on social media, you know, be authentic. Authenticity is doing things for, for example, doing things for others for the sake of doing things for others, not for the sake of getting something returned, getting more views, making more sales, having that person, you know, oh, I know that person's got connections. So I'm going to do this. And we all know this. We all know those people who act nice to you, but you could tell, they want something back. And those people are just, they just are genuinely good people.

They never want anything in return. It's a totally different feeling. And by the way, you know, if you wanna talk about, you don't have to, again, you don't have to have the mystical esoteric part. So let's take that out for a second. If you look at all these spiritual practices, there are commonalities in a lot of them. And that's one a second. If you look at all these spiritual practices, there are commonalities

in a lot of them. And that's one of them. One of them is what they call the golden rule or in lots of religions. I think if anything, all the popular religions in spiritual practices talk about that. What does that tell you? There is a human truth there. There's wisdom there that people have found that never communicated with each other on corners of the earth where there wasn't crossbreeding of religions and spirit. Yet they figured this out, they figured this out, they figured this out, they all preached this and they say it a little different, but they all say the same thing. That's where you find like really interesting truths that humans have figured out and practice

for thousands and found value in. So here we are, right? Fiber-operative cables, internet, I'm so smart, we got all these studies and found value in. So here we are, right? Fiber offered to cables, internet. I'm so smart. We got all these studies and arrogance. Wow, the arrogance. So cool. It's so crazy.

Well, another one of the truths that I had written down was things don't happen to me. They happen for me. And I think that requires a bit of belief or faith. That reframes the shit out of everything, doesn't it? It does. Nothing happens to me. Everything happens for me.

And you have to kind of have this faith or belief in a higher power guiding that, or whether that be the universe or God or whatever thing you, that I believe that this was a gift. Even in the most awful circumstances, and it's really fucking tough to actually believe that. You have to practice that and when you learn to reframe all those situations, at least in

my life, when I've learned to reframe those situations, you're not going to be able to do it every time, right? Something terrible happens, it could be so hard. Right. Or sometimes what ends up happens, it takes a while. Initially, it hurts so bad. It hits you so hard and you go like, what ends up happens, it takes a while. You know, initially it hurts so bad, it hits you so hard and you go like, oh my God, how could losing this child

or losing this thing in my life for this being fire from the, how could there be a gift here? This can't do it, because it's causing all these other rippling effects. But I truly believe that it always is. There's a reason why I needed to leave there. There's a reason why that person's no longer in my life. So, and then I'm on this crazy path to figure it out.

Like, what is the message? What am I supposed to learn? And that, I mean, that is definitely a part of the spiritual practice is learning how to do that. Have you guys seen the movie, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? Yeah, great movie. Have you seen that?

Okay, so Jim Carey, but it's a serious role. It's actually one of the most underrated movies ever seen. And in it, the premise is that they have this technology where you have like trauma or tough things, you go and they erase it. And so he, in the movie, and I'm a spoiler alert, right, in the movie, he meets this girl, and they start to have this connection,

whatever, doesn't realize that they had been, before had a relationship, and they broke up, and so traumatizing, that they had gone and erased their memories of each other. And you end up realizing the value and the pain and what they went through before that they erased because they got rid of it because they don't want that pain. It's like this popular procedure, really, really powerful movie. It takes you on such a roller coaster. Oh, interesting.

Yeah, it's really good. I can't have never seen that before. So, you know, I watched it one night, because I kept hearing about it. Why is it not so popular? Is it because it has kind of like religious undertones? Because Jim Carrey at the time, I think, was known as being like this fun guy.

Yeah, they weren't taking them serious in a serious acting role, I said back then, but yeah, I was like one of those kind of indie films that just didn't get enough publicity, I think. Yeah, that was fun. It was really good. So talking about love and stuff,

so check this out. Did you know that giving men testosterone or having their testosterone come up to a healthy high level, we all know, it's more drive, more confidence, more strength, right? All that stuff. It's also more affection, more hugs, and more love. So there's a study that shows that when men's testosterone levels were... It's not a toxic hormone. It's a hormone that you you need for health and that when men had low testosterone and they brought it up to healthy levels They were more affectionate with their partners more loving more. Yeah, why are you laughing?

Did you just want to have sex? Meaning I mean I think they have ulterior motives. Yeah, it's funny a lot more heavy pain. I V. No, this was a real hard to say out of that study. You know, I'm saying it's like this was general. It was general feeling. It was pretty well made study. I mean, I appreciate your He buys me more flowers now. It's so weird. Yeah, I get more backwards. He's trying to get laid. Yeah, you know, say that testosterone is running through me. He didn't care so much more.

Well, no, think about this way. When you were, okay, so all joking aside, when your testosterone was super low, you probably were more sad, more irritable, not wanting to have sex, all those things. Yeah, so then when it's higher, you feel happier, you're more likely to feel confident, which makes you want to go. I mean, I think part of why I'm laughing is because I have personally experienced that and I do agree with that. But what I what I haven't done is unpacked my motives, right? Like it's been really been really honest with myself.

I mean, let's beat let's beat completely real here, right? So when my test goes up to my happier, when my test asterone was really, really low, okay? I don't feel good sexually. I don't want it sexually. Like I'm not thinking that way. Therefore, I'm probably not as touchy-feely and kissing on my wife and doing those things. When my hormone levels are up, like, I want to have sex, I feel...

Well hold on, I got something for you. Because we worked with you through this process. We saw your testosterone go low and your testosterone go high. Now, unless you want to have sex with Justin and I, which I don't, maybe who knows, but I don't think so. That uses as a clip. You were, I know. You were, you definitely were friendlier and not like

you're a super touchy-feely person anyway. Yeah. But the, you rub thing that you do, yeah, definitely happen more frequently, being happier. Okay. Yeah, Adam does this thing. Okay, well that's, that's it.

It's the rub your ears. It's really, it goes all the way, I like it now. It goes all the way back to the elevator. been more frequently being happier. Okay. Adam does this thing. Okay, well, that's the rub your ears. It's really, it's like, I like it now. It goes all the way back to elementary school. But it doesn't happen. I'm like, why is it? Where's my ear up? Wait, wait, that goes back to elementary school?

Yeah, yeah, all the way back to elementary school. I actually had a friend that used to do it. He, I can't take the credit for being the first person to do it, like he used to do that. And then I asked you, you used to do it to like, relax me and call me down when I was younger. Oh, what? Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? You know what, it's really fucking trippy, is actually seeing my son do it to like relax me and call me down when I was younger. Oh what? Yeah, you know what?

You know what? You know what? It's really fucking trippy is actually seeing my son do it laying in bed. Shut your face. Yeah, yeah. I don't think I've ever shared that for. Yeah, like I'll like- Isn't that weird?

Yeah, I teach him that. No, of course I didn't teach him that. And he hasn't even seen me do that. So like it's not a learn behavior either, but I've seen him sue themselves like laying in bed and just kind of like play with his ear a little bit. The well. Yeah, trip out. That is totally trip out.

Dude, Aralius. I'm terrible, that. I'll punch my friends in the gut. You're such a big kid. You know why? Because you want to touch him so bad, but you don't want to do it in a way that's cool. Someone asked me, another one of the questions I asked about you guys is, who's more likely to give a compliment?

I said, oh, Sal, for sure. I said, Justin Barry's all his feelings Good ones bad all of them all of them like even if he's like, you know what Adam's a really nice guy Barry Barry yeah, yeah, I don't want him to think I'm attracted to a You know what though, but when he gives a compliment yeah Bro and it's not even a big compliment. You know, you're not right guy. Yeah. Oh, it's not right man.

Justin said something like that. That's right. You need to coach me. So I was gonna tell you guys, so Arrelius has got this thing now where he's so cocky. He says no. It's cocky, dude. He says no, but like, he looks at you and he just goes,

no. So I'll tell you what happens. So Jessica, she has to go to the bathroom. Are Jessica She's she's has she has to go the bathroom. You ready to argue she has to go the bathroom So she leaves the door open because he's playing and they're by the front door So if you go in my house there's a bathroom as soon as you walk in to the right so she goes she's you know about to go the bathroom and He goes to open the front door so the front door opens out obviously the front yard and she goes really is I'm gonna go the bathroom. You can't do that and he goes no and then he

starts to crank on the door really I'm going to the bathroom don't do that and he goes and we filmed him saying this no because it's such a shitty he likes no and he opens the door so now he's looking outside and then he makes this this car noise when he sees cars pull up so he goes boom boom so he's looking outside he goes and he goes boom boom and she goes oh's looking outside and he goes boom, boom. And she goes, oh shit. It's like you P. S. Our Amazon right? She's like, I really close the door and go to the bathroom. No. And then he looks at he goes, hi, Hi in the Amazon lady walks up just because And she brings the packaging like looking around just like, please put it down in the bathroom. Sorry

Little turkey. He does that. It's so weird. Little turkey. He does it. We have to be careful now because he'll just open the front door and walk out. You know what I just did. I just introduced Max to the paleo valley beef sticks. He loved them. Oh, really?

He's like those too. Oh yeah, I just introduced him to him. We were driving somewhere and I had him in the truck and he was asking, you know, his thing is, tummy hurts. Tummy hurts. That's when he's hungry. That's when he says tummy. When he's hungry, yeah, yeah, tummy hurts, you know, all right, all right. Well, get just a little kid eats all day long, like nonstop.

But I wasn't sure if he was going to like it. He loved it. So yeah, we are really. It's like all my kids like the beef sticks, which is cool because, especially for my daughter, it's hard to get her adequate protein. She's not like a protein person, but is cool because, especially for my daughter, it's hard to give her adequate protein. She's not like a protein person, but she likes to meet sticks. So I'm like, here, I think it's like six or seven grams of protein.

Well, it's such a, it goes back to the, it goes back to the conversation I was telling you guys about the whole percentage of protein. It's an actually true protein snack. And it's so hard to find a quote unquote protein snack because you have to normally get a thing of meat in order to get some high good amount of calories. That's also find me other like other convenient protein snacks. Yeah. You know, their heart jerky is one of them, but jerky's dry as hell.

Boy, old age. And kids never like jerky because it's super dry. The meat sticks are like, I think that's why my kids like it because they're not dry. Yeah. You know, they're, you know, I think that's why my kids like it, because they're not dry. Yeah. You know, they're, you know, I hate to use the word moist, but they, they're not, they're not the moist. I know, they'll be like that word.

Also, you know what I'll say introduce them to, not that I'm gonna do this regularly, but I thought it'll be funny. We were in, I think we were little Glenn, and we ate some, some early dinner. And there's this new little candy store, and I love candy stores. I just, I don't know what it is about, am I like walking through them? So I'm like, oh shit, there's new new little candy store. And I love candy stores. I just, I don't know what it is about.

Am I like walking through them? So I'm like, oh shit, there's new candy stores going there. So we take them through and of course he's looking to all the colors and he wants to try stuff. And I sell pop rocks. You guys remember pop rocks? Yes. I'm getting into my kids, dude.

Just watch them. Yes. I'm like, did you sit there just like anticipating? I was like, what is going to happen? So I'm like, this is going to gonna be great and I gave it to him and he's loved it. It sticks his tongue out. And he's like more, I'm like okay,

so he's the popping error. I took a video of it so we'll put that up. It's a good time, dude. Right now we're going through the swimming phase right now, I'm trying to get him to kind of break free. Like first of all, it took forever to get max to get in a cold pool. He got so used to like spas, warm baths, and he like just the cold, a cold pool. He would just freak out, didn't want nothing to do with it.

So almost all of last year, I could hardly ever get him into the pool. He's finally got to the place where, and I think it was just being around a bunch of other kids and playing in the pool. Haven't you noticed it was just being around a bunch of other kids and planning the pool. I haven't you noticed that when they're around other kids are way more likely to try and you should. Yes. Totally. I mean, I think that has a huge, I think that's the main reason because he's seen all these other kids that are close to his age that are jumping in the pool and doing all that stuff like that. I still can't, he doesn't want anything to do with like, you know, all the cool life-fest water-wing things that they have. So he can get in there. He still wants to be attached to me.

Well, yeah, bro. Have you seen the video that he did? He hangs on your back and he's swimming around. That's like the most fun thing ever for a kid. Yeah, well, and selfishly for me too, I like it. Because he's... He literally holds on to you like you. I can't vote.

Bro, I can freestyle swim. I can jump left right. And he just hangs on. Yeah, he cleans. He wraps me. Of course, I can want to like this. Yeah, he wraps me with his legs really well. And he holds on with his hands. And you know, it's put both hands up and he's still hooked with my legs. And like, it's pretty funny how he does it. So yeah, selfishly, I'm like, he doesn't, he doesn't break free.

Yeah, I'm okay with that. Well, see, so no, it's true when kids, the other kids, so it's same thing. We were, we were again again, Will Glenn and my son likes to hold my hand when he goes up and down the stairs, unless he's crawling up, but when he's trying to step down. And there were little kids that were his age, and they were going up and down. Sure enough, he goes to trite and he doesn't, he gives himself on a plow, which is hilarious. But I'm the good chap that does, just because he's your son. He's a good, right dad. Did you just put him in that? because like he's your son. Yeah, he's a good right dad. I said, good job buddy.

Yeah. But I talked to one of the dads because he had a son that was the same age as a Relius. And I said, man, your kids like going up and down these stairs and jumping down and he goes, oh, he's got an older sister. I'm like, oh, that's true. When little ones have an older sibling,

yeah, yeah. They have to quickly. They have to pick up back. Cause I see, yeah, they're older brother. It was funny, he talk about, you know, my son as well, like he, he just, he's been doing piano and learning from my, my mom, like all this, like piano songs

and he's really getting into it and you could tell of it like, you know, the musical side's starting to kind of come in with him, like, like, oh, interesting. Ethan or Everett. His Everett. Yeah. Yeah. And so he, he was asking her about, because I took piano and everything when I was a kid and all the stuff

and so they're talking about it. And so my mom actually pulled out another video. My mom is really good at capturing everything. So these all VHS and pictures, she has albums for everything. That's awesome, bro. Which is great. We're terrible with that. I mean, Courtney, stopped filming the kids doing things and capturing all these moments. But it's just, I forget that sometimes. And she's like, oh yeah. So I have this video of my first piano performance. And it was like Moonlight Sonata, which is like this great song.

I don't know if it's Beethoven or whoever, but it was like a watered down version of it. So it was like a little easier. I was just like, I think it was like nine years old or something. Yeah, and so I'm playing it and I'm getting all into it. Like, cause I really get into music, but like back then I was a kid and have any sort of like social cues

or filters in terms of like, I just started really getting into it, rocking my body. Was it a recital? Yeah, it was a recital. I'm playing for all these people, and I get to the point where it's towards the end, and I'm just trying to play it softer, and I'm playing it softer,

and then I'm like, hunching and then all the way down on this like this. Oh no. I wanna see this. Yeah, it cuts, you know, everybody's like, on pins and needles and they're like, you know, like done, but it was just so, it's so beautiful.

How old were dramatic, dude? He said like seven, right? There's no nine. It was like probably like nine, eight or nine, yeah. Oh yeah, oh. But yeah, I was pretty hilarious to watch. I did one piano subtle recital and I played, it was a Hot Cross Buns.

You know, that's the song everybody learns. Oh, yeah. And I just, you could tell. If you, I don't know if all of it would be, I'll find this video, but I remember watching it because my mom showed me like 10 years ago. And I'm tripping on the way in,

trying to step over something and then I just did another music person. You mentioned that you and Courtney are really bad about kind of documenting everything with the kids like at this point Like and you what about you Sal with you and Jessica are excellent. She's really good. She's super good and you're not so good No, so I'll take a lot of pictures, but I never organize them. I just don't I have my phone's got bazillion pictures face but but she'll she's very good as she'll go on my phone or She'll tell me send me all the pictures you took just now right away. I send them to her and she actually takes the time to organize them

into digital albums and then what she did recently is she printed albums. So we have 2017, 2018, 2019. I think we have 2020 and their albums of like, you know, good, like pictures that are meaningful throughout the year of just her and I us with the kids, whatever. So we had and so she does a great job. I would I'm terrible. I would never it would get lost in the next. I never look at them again. It's awesome to have that. I think you guys do that. Yeah. I'm I'm actually the one who does that. I wish I wasn't. But It's a lot of work. It is. It is a lot of work. Because it takes our hour. It's a lot of work and I do all of it. Like I do all the photo taking, the videoing, the organizing of it, the building maxes like page. Like I separate them over, but I separate them by year also.

So they're all in chronological order and I have different albums for each one. So have you tried printing them yet? So I've made books. So what I do is I go to Shutterfly and I actually create albums in Shutterfly. Yeah, and then we print like... That's what she does.

Yeah, yeah. So that's what I do. So you have those. Yeah, yeah, I've done it for Katrina and I's relationships since we started. I used to be really good at the beginning. I used to... Yeah, that's a very romantic.

It's actually had a necessity because I think I really appreciate that stuff. I actually, until Katrina, I would never did that in my relationship. So I wasn't the guy who, but I've had, I've been in relationships with girls that do that. And I really appreciate it because I come from a family that didn't have a lot of stuff. There's not a lot of video of me as a kid or a lot of photos like my mom has minimal stuff that I could look back at.

And same thing goes for like my dad. Like I have very little stuff in my real dad that I wish that I can look back at. And the same thing goes for like my dad. Like I have very little stuff in my real dad that I wish that I could go back, watch, or look at. And so with that, I really don't. So I've always liked that stuff because I want that for my son or my kids like to be able to go back and like look at albums or watch videos so I make an effort to do it.

You know what I hate? I've said this before, but Facebook will be like, eight years ago today and it's a picture of my kids, messes me up for a good 30 minutes. Oh yeah. Every time, I just saw one the other day. I was at Disneyland, my son and my daughter, she must have been three, so he was seven,

and they're just standing there all cute and little. And now, you know, he's 17, she's gonna turn 13, and I was like, oh, turn the page. Yeah, I can't do it yeah it's just it gets a little hard anyway I just watched the new predator have you guys seen this what yeah so I mean is it on Amazon like we're just find it oh hulu okay it's like for real like real or is it like some knockoff version is it like no no it's predator it's called prey is it a it a movie? It's a movie.

Okay. Prequel. No, it's just in that universe, right? In the whole universe of Predator, right? Because you have the original Predator. Yeah, in Predator 2, then you have Predator, and the Inverse Predator. Then you have Predators.

Yeah, so in some of them are cheesy, some of them are gray. Obviously, the original is the best. The one with Arnold, there's like none of them come close to that. Yeah. This one takes place, and's like none of them come close to that. This one takes place. And it's probably if I had to guess, 1700s in North America. Oh, I did see, okay, I saw a trailer for this.

And it was like, yeah, you had the Wild West, kind of settlers and all that. It was Cherokee. Cherokee. Yeah, so there it is right there. So it would be technically prequel. I guess, technically. Arnold time is predator one.

Yes, technically, right? Yes. But it doesn't, it's not that, there's nothing that really harks you. Oh, like so it doesn't tie in at all. No, it's just, the story is, if you're, and I'm a huge predator fan, when I was a kid, that original one, I must have watched at least 50 times, right? So it's like this in a different setting. Yeah, the whole story is, right, that predator, it's the species of alien and their favorite

thing you do is hunt. And what they do is they go at other planets and they're always looking for the hardest, most challenging prey to hunt. And that's why in the, I think it was predator two, the one with Danny Glover, where they go, he goes on the ship and then you see the alien skull in the background and that's why they connected him because obviously they hunted You know the alien monsters or whatever but anyway, and this one it's Cherokee and This and the predator looks different. He's got a different like mask on almost like they're a little bit more primitive because maybe it's before

Yeah, so their technology is a bit even slightly more primitive. Oh interesting Um, but it was it was pretty cool. you know, parts of it I don't like, like, you know, it's just petite Cherokee chick and she's like a ninja, you know, like she's fighting this predator. I'm like, he literally slaughtered 15 men with muskets and you have a hatchet and you're just like kicking his out. Like that kind of stuff, I'm like, come on,

let's make it more. But I like the predator, I like the way he looked, it looked different than the original one. So you could tell it was just easy. A little different. No, interesting. But if you're not a hardcore fan, I don't know if it's... I mean, I liked it. I liked even some of the cheesy ones.

I watched. I mean, I definitely watched... You liked it then. I watched Predator One, Predator Two. I actually was one of the probably futile. I liked the Alien vs Predator because I liked it. Oh, I liked it. Yeah, I liked it. I thought it was cool. I think the hunting...

But you have to go into it with, yeah, like knowing there's a little cheesy all the way. I like the hunting weapons that they use. Like they remember the one where the net flies on you But then it shrinks in the like it's like you know, you know, you know, he has that aiming device It's like three laser points. Yeah, and this one he shoots like these these like darts that go through people Like instead of the laser or something. Yeah, and it's almost like his, they will only use technology that makes the challenging. They won't go, like he could obviously slaughter

everybody for that. Is it always the same writer? Is the same writer wrote all of them? I don't know. I think a question. Yeah, because I feel like they're so different that sometimes I feel like maybe it's like different people picked it up and we're writing it

or is it been consistent? Find that out, I don't know. I seriously doubt it. You doubt it's the same person? I doubt it's the same person. Do you know the camouflage technology that they showed in the first predator? Which one was the first predator, mate? Was that 89?

I think it might have been. Yeah, they figured that out, which is good guess. That's real. Yeah. That's sci-fi. And that's when science starts to follow sci-fi. 87. 87.

That camouflage, works almost like. Cameras behind you, right? And then they can project it in front of you, which then creates the solution. They now have technology like that. Yeah, literally off the, like based off what the predator did. That's wild.

Isn't that crazy? Things like the imagination of predicting some of that. Did you finish listening to the Babylon B CEO interview? I'm like an hour left. So are you listening to it? I'm like 45 hour left. So good. Are you listening to it? I'm like 45 minutes in. Oh, okay. So I've listened almost all of it.

And there's a, I don't know if you guys got to this part yet, but he actually brought up to Joe. There's 20, I think it's 20 predictions. They made memes about. 76. Oh, 76. Oh, it was 20. I just listened to that part.

Oh, so 76 things they predicted like through like joking memes You know like slightly true or like yeah, I mean so the most but some are like dead on and like You know some of those things with like Gavin Newson being like the the top salesperson for you hall You know that like he did he did like like a couple months before, like it was released that like, you all said, like yeah, we ran out of trucks, like they're all going to Texas. And so things like that, it was like, it was pretty funny that they've nailed spot-on culture

before. Really good conversation around abortion between the two of them. Well, it was civil. That's what I mean by this. They disagreed. Yeah, and they were civil. That's actually what got me to listen to the interview

I mean, I'm already curious and interested about the Babylon B guy Already so I probably might have tuned in a little bit But for sure what got me was the clip of you know what makes Rogan so good is that He can he can have a different opinion from you But he's curious and he'll still, if you're logical, he'll say, okay, well that makes sense. He'll still listen.

Yeah. And I think too, like, to, you know, which was weird, it was a little misleading because some of the cut that brought me into that interview was, it seemed like it was a little more emotionally charged and driven, but like when you actually listen to them talk it through, there might have been like a little bit of like, well, what about, you know, but it was really evenly composed, like both were just kind of, you know, calm about how they're delivering their point of view. I thought the bad one, Beek, I crushed it because I thought that Joe came off a little bit aggressive.

Like I actually didn't like it. He was deliberately trying to challenge him actually. He wasn't like, you know, even like, okay, so I actually, because I haven't seen that many, you've seen more Joe Rogans, but I have never seen him like right out the gates, puffing on a cigar and blowing the smoke and stuff like that. And I thought he kind of had this edge,

like he knew he was gonna go after him on some things that he knew that they wouldn't agree on. I felt that. I always thought I felt that energy from the end. I'm sure he plans stuff like that, right? Oh yeah, but I thought, I think somebody on and you're like, a guy, I need to kind of challenge some of these ideas.

I appreciated the whole conversation so far from what I've heard. No, it was sound like, but I thought Joe was like getting louder and louder and kept saying like, you're gonna tell my 14 year old, like he was getting aggressive or the, he was kind of like,

well, no, I'm not saying that. I'm just, you know, this is, you know, I don't think that one murder definitely makes a rape right. So I thought he kept his calm really well and explained his. I like afterwards, they kind of came full circle together. I like it. I like it when people can discuss something that they disagree on. Continue to disagree. You don't have to agree, but also it's civil and it it's good and we're making points and I can see your side and you can see my side

Okay, that's it versus this like shouting or how we can all live together. Yeah, you know Otherwise this whole thing of like oh no like we just got to get rid of that kind of talk completely and push these people away Like how we ever gonna live with each other. That's crazy. Hey, I pulled up some really amazing studies on a supplement called Rhodiola, which you guys, I've talked to you guys before about Rhodiola. It's in the Organifi Red Juice, one of the main ingredients in that.

There was a lot of Soviet studies on Rhodiola. So the Soviets heavily invested in studying Rhodiola and they found tremendous benefits, improvements in speed and strength for track and field, swimming, speed skating are phenomenal. And then I followed up with studies that were done here in the States, that kind of mirrored it. So really interesting compound. It's one of the few ancient, I guess, or they had a lot of data behind it.

Strength, stamina, not just the endurance, then, huh? Strength, was it rodeola? One of the ones they were considering banning from Olympics. I thought there was a mushroom that they were doing. No, there was court. There's court of saps, rodeola, ecti-stereon. The one that's banned is ecti-stereon or will be banned. Yeah.

But rodeola's got, like clinically proven, mental and physical performance enhancing benefits, where you can see like statistically, there's a difference. And the Soviets, again, you know, remember this was state-sponsored athletics and during the Cold War it was like, you know, whoever does better is superior. So the Soviets spent a lot of money on researching some of this stuff. And Rodeola has been an ancient, you know, practice for a long time. So they spent a lot of money on it. And the studies, I mean, it's for sure,

it for sure has an effect. Now, I've used Rhodiola, I use the red juice to get off caffeine, and I notice a significant difference. When I go off caffeine without it, I does not feel great. When I do use that, wow, does it take the edge off considerably? Yeah, I was looking into this, because I had thought, and I'm,

I guess I'm wrong with this, but like there was, you know, Olympic, there's an Olympic team that was using beetroot powder and that somehow was targeted and then they became one of those substances that they weren't going to allow. But I don't think that's true, but I know that there's been a lot of buzz around beetroot powder as well. Indurance.

Yeah, natural oxide. Yeah, this is an extra oxide and endurance. That's another one. It's hard though to find something that does both mental, physical, performance, and then in physical performance, strength and endurance. Usually it's one or the other, and Rodeola shows both. So it's just across the board, improvements and performance.

Oh, and mental performance. So cognitive tests, fatigue, that kind of stuff. So the fatigue people, have them take a cognitive test, fatigue another group, give them Rhodiola, and they do much better. So, it's like it basically, you know, they're concerned and adapt to Gen, but it basically makes your body more resilient. That's the term that they use in these studies. I mean, I feel good when I take it.

And it's how I use it. I always use it when I take it. There's a right dose though. It's, like I noticed for me, if I take too much, I don't feel good. Meagie sleepy. Yes, so I have to take a low dose. Now I know other people who could take a higher dose and feel better.

So just caveat, if you use it, start low, see how it affects you before. Interesting. You jump on it. I know we're in science right now, but I want to transition over into the economy because Doug sent me over some stuff on real estate last night about the Bay Area market, which I had been falling already and see it's coming, right, as far as the reduction in prices.

Then I also saw, and I didn't think that this could happen already, I thought this was something that they were going to vote on. Did I hear that Biden signed the Tax Reduction Act or whatever like that? Is that going through? Tax Reduction Act? Or the inflation? Oh, that's, excuse me, inflation. Because I don't think it's gonna reduce the,

well, they're presenting it like a tax reduction too, right? I mean, there, but the inflation reduction act. Tax enforcement. No, no, you're ready for this. Taxes across the board are going up, except for super wealthy individuals, according to the inflation reduction act. Lots of wealthy individuals.

Yeah, it's gonna crush the middle class. Is it ridiculous? I said, we talked about that with the whole IRS thing. 80, 80, you know what I mean? So misleading, dude. Well, did you, said, we talked about that with the whole IRS thing. 80, 80, get what you're doing. So misleading, dude. Well, did you, okay, so check this out. You wanna talk about like, it makes me wonder if, cause these lobbies, there's these big lobbies

that work with government. We know this is not a secret. So they have an electric car subsidy. So electric cars, if you qualify and you go by an electric car, you'll get $7,500 for the government or not you but the electric car company. So that way they could make it cheaper and more affordable. Did you see what Ford and GM did? Raised it up. Raised the prices of the electric cars, but I guess how much?

This is actually $7,500. $7,500. You know what's late too? Look at that. This sweet spot you have to be in. Like the car has to be under 80,000 under 80,000 and you have to make under 100 something like that Yeah, yeah, but it's interesting. I wonder if GM and folks. Those are powerful lobbies right powerful American companies I wonder if they behind the yeah behind the first year they're like do that. We'll raise the price it all be good

You know, we'll get more taxpayer money whatever. I mean here's the thing. Okay, and I was going to bring this up as like a speculative discussion because like, we actually like had a bit of an issue with like IRS was like, no, you guys need to pay still like based off of taxes that we had paid and this and that. And there was some discussion there, but like they finally came back months later and like, oh, we were wrong. You did pay that, right? And so now we're getting all these IRS potentially, like new agents that are coming in that are gonna be strapped have guns.

Like, what's gonna happen when they're wrong? Then you're contesting it, and now they're, that's not like a sparse, that's what's happening. That's part of the in the budget. So I told you guys the other day that it was $80 billion or something like that, with they're increasing it too, which is like...

Ten times? Yeah, almost 10xing it. And one of the main... What's the motivation with them to have guns? Well, it's because what they say is that there's a lot of people who don't want to pay taxes. There's going to be a lot of resistance. There's this... You know, this faction, this extremist faction that believes that taxes are theft,

which technically, if we wanna be technical, it is. Listen, they're not wrong on that part. I've shared the story with you guys off air, I think, my experience as a kid, how I learned about car repos. Yes. Someone coming to repo the car from my dad and him standing on the back porch with a shotgun, you know,

saying like, you're not taking our car. Like, so, and there's obviously a potential, and if you're coming to collect on somebody who owes $50,000 in the IRS or whatever it be, and they don't have that kind of money, I could see that. So, I get that, although it's a slippery slope, right? Are you starting me? We have police for that. Now what if that although it's a slippery slope, right? Are you starting me? You give me.

We have police for that. Now what if they're wrong and they take all in your assets and then they find out months later, but like you've had to, you know, go through hell, you know, to fight that. Well, here's the way. This is why I look at it. First of all, we have police. Okay. We have police.

So what they could do is they could work with local law enforcement, which they've done in the past and collect the differences. This is a federal agency that's armed to collect Yes, means that they overstep any local police. Well, the difference is that IRS come in and don't have to contact a local police. The difference is that and what I'm I'm I'm most worried about for for just us general, like society, right? Is that you, if you almost 10X the IRS, what is that? What is how much does that increase your odds as just the average

Jane or Joe to get audited? I think that just means that the, and the reason why they're in need that and the reason why they can't get the support from police is because I think that is going to be a ridiculous increase. Like, we're going to see a lot of that. Oh, I think they're going to go after things like PayPal, Venmo, tips, people getting tips. They're going to go after crypto. Oh, for sure. Yeah. So what does that say there, Doug?

Well, they've always had the Criminal Investigation Division, which is carried guns. So I don't know if this is just expanding that part, or if it's going to be general, it's dramatically expanding. Yeah. It's dramatically expanding now. Yeah, that's what's happening. So that's, so that none of that is like, you know, conspiracy theory. I mean, that's happening. They also throw 80 billion dollars.

Yeah, I'm not worried it's gonna get like, we're gonna get, you know, people are gonna show up and throw us in gulag. But I think that they're gonna go after like regular people. The, they're not going after billionaires. There's 700 billionaires in the US. They got 80,000 new IRS employees. It ain't for after billionaires. There's 700 billionaires in the US. They got 80,000 new IRS employees. It ain't for the billionaires.

It's for every day, it's for small businesses and for people making cash and, you know, doing online businesses. That's what we're doing. Yeah, who are much easier to trip up than somebody who's making billions of dollars has multiple, CPAs, lawyers,

and I need for me of like increasing the amount of enforcement with guns from the party that doesn't want anybody to have guns. It's only, it's just like my brain hurts. So go back to my original question. So did, can you look this up? Did Biden sign that? I thought I saw, I believe it was signed, yes. So is that official?

Did we just, did we just infuse another $600 billion into the economy? Oh, but that reduces the inflation. You got the fuck up, bro. It's like putting a fire out with gasoline. Yeah. Hey, you got to do fire out with this big old thing of gasoline to put this fire out.

Let's see how you do. I got a new fire extinguisher. It's full of gunpowder. Oh my god. Don't worry, you had enough. I mean, that scares the shit out of me and that of like trying to figure out what's gonna, so I mean, Doug sent me over the housing thing,

oh, the Bay Area starting to reduce prices, yada, yada, yada, on stuff like that. Okay, but if we all said now, shoot another $600 billion in the economy, don't be surprised if it goes back up again. I'm hoping of taxes. Did you guys know what marijuana dispensaries are doing that I just figured I just learned this?

Maybe you already know this, because you know how, okay, so you know this because you were in the business. If you own a medical marijuana or even a recreational marijuana, state legal business, it's very hard to do banking. It's very hard to deposit your money, put it anywhere. When I was in it, you couldn't do it.

Right. And my partner's part of their big vision was actually to open a bank that actually would take that money. Yes. But the federal government makes it. Right. And my partner's part of their big vision was actually to open a bank that actually supplied- With that money. Yes. But the federal government makes it very challenging and almost impossible.

Very, very. So these marijuana growers have to do illegal things to get this money to pay taxes on it. They actually have to find ways to pay taxes on it. So it becomes- Yes. Anyway, check out this brilliant, brilliant method that they're totally gonna crack down on.

You go to this recreational marijuana place, you take your credit card, you convert it to crypto, you take the crypto, you buy the marijuana, they immediately convert that crypto back to cash. Now it's just, they just took crypto, you just, they just took crypto, turn the cash pay tax on it. And literally he says it happens on the spot,

literally on the spot. How much do you wanna buy? $100, boom, Ethereum. Boom. Cash. Here we go. Pretty smart. I'm telling you right now that that's like the number one way that and why cryptocurrency is being held up right now is for things like that. It's from black market and that.

Shit like that. It is completely... Well, they're going to go after it for sure. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, I actually think that I know we, you know, we're talking about how it for sure. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, I actually think that, I know we, you know, we're talking about how it's gonna fuck the middle class, which I think it's going to for sure too. But I think their main motivation is go after all the crypto money.

It's gonna be, it's crypto, Venmo, PayPal, all those, I mean, think about. Easy, come easy, go. Yeah, Apple Pay, sending people money, you know, they don't track any of that. So it's basically like, it's a digital way of, because cash, cash has always been a problem, it's hard to track cash.

But digitally, I mean, if they have enough people technically, they could go in. Yeah, they don't have a firm grasp on it yet, but it makes sense that they would start targeting it. I mean, look at how many people you, I mean, everybody has a friend or somebody who made a bunch of money in crypto in the last two or three years. And so, and I don't know a lot of those people talking about how they're going to pay the taxes on that.

No, unless if you don't declare it, they're yet they will, but yet they don't know way of them knowing. They can't. They can't go to these wallets or these companies and say, who made money? Well, you know, this is what made me switch sides of the calendar in the marijuana industry, right? So originally I started as an operator, right, as somebody who ran one of the clubs. And when I saw the way the tax laws were written for the farmer, I was like, what am I doing? Like, so this is how it used to work, right? The laws have progressed, but this is what originally made me jump to the farming side was, okay, farmer comes in. I don't know who he is. It's the first time he's ever meeting me. he has, you know,

five pounds of marijuana. That time, like the going rate, let's just say was like $3,000 a pound, right? So like $15,000 worth of marijuana he walks in with. And I look at it and go, okay, this is this works. I like it, whatever, I agree to it. I will pay him the $15,000. I am responsible on my end for tracking that transaction, paying that he is protected by

another law of his I can for farmers and his identity that he does not have to give me any of his stuff. So then it is on up to him. So you have to jump through a bunch of hoops and break laws to make that he it's up to him to decide if he's going to claim that and I'm always dealing in cash in the marijuana business, it's always cash. So I'm handing him $15,000 in cash. I have to log in in my books, pay my taxes

on what's going on, right? He doesn't. He doesn't have to do any of that. He's supposed to on his end claim any sort of cash or income that he gets, but I mean, there's nothing that tracks or is traced back to him. And I was like, oh my God, I'm on the road. Could he, I'm on the wrong side

of this account. Could he also technically be like, I sold corn, I sold and they wouldn't know and then you'll pay taxes on it, type of deal. Sure, yeah, sure. Wow, yeah, or nothing at all. Isn't that funny? I don't have it.

I mean, the federal government literally, nobody is tracking his trees and pounds of weed that come from like, no, what's that? How funny is that the federal government literally is creating black markets? Yes. And more and more black markets. It's so wild.

I mean, that's what, so what happened again, what made me leave the clubs to another part of that equation was there, and we all used to meet, right? So I was there when it was, we were one of the first four and then there was like 10, and we had, and we created a group called MC13, which was the original 13 marijuana clubs.

And we'd all get together and try and fight the city on things like that. And quickly, it became very competitive with pricing and stuff like that. And I remember, you guys know me, like I'm always doing the numbers and it's like, this doesn't mathematically make sense. There's no way these guys are selling this. With I know all the way that you're going to get the pay taxes. I know it's not

making sense. And then when I find out it's like, oh, because everybody's doing backdoor deals. Everybody's doing illegal stuff or taking stuff off the books or selling something else. And if you want to do it legally, they won't let you. Yeah. And so then you either going to play the same game as them doing illegal stuff in order to compete and stay, keep your doors open, or you try and be legit and you end up getting crushed because you can't afford to stay in the market. And so it was like, the writing was on the wall for me really early. Like, I gotta get out of this. I gotta go or go to another side.

And at that point, it was like, oh, the farming side. That's where it's at. The farming side, it's still so gray right now. I can go be a producer for all these people. And then it's up to me to claim how much I can go be a producer for all these people. And then it's up to me to claim how much that I'm making off of doing all that stuff. Wow.

Yeah, wow. Hey, check this out. Look, you're into health and fitness, but you also like to enjoy yourself sometimes with the occasional alcoholic beverage. The only problem is it makes people feel bad sometimes. Physically, makes them feel bad. We'll check out this company we work with called Z-Botics.

This is a probiotic drink that is genetically modified. So you'll never find this anywhere else. This is patented to break down acetaldehyde in the gut. What's that? Some of the negative byproducts of alcohol. So when you drink alcohol, acetaldehyde gets produced. Your liver breaks down pretty much most of it. But some of it ends up in your gut, goes in your bloodstream, ricks havoc, okay? Z-biotics takes care of that. It's remarkable. Drink this, then go drink some alcohol,

and notice how you feel the next day. It's pretty awesome stuff. Go check them out. Head over to zbiotics.com, that's ZB-I-O-T-I-C-S.com, forward slash mine pump, and then use code mine pump 2-2 for 10% off your first order. All right, here comes the rest of the show. First question is from Olivia A. Pretty.

Hanging leg raises have been very difficult for me. What kind of progression plan would you suggest to be able to do them with ease? Okay, so regregression is the world world. Yeah, regressions. So the short answer is reverse crunches. That's the best exercise that a lead to hanging leg raises. But the point I want to make with this is that hanging leg raises are one of the most challenging exercises for the core, for the abs, to do properly.

A lot of people do hanging leg raises, very few people do it properly. A lot of people do what are called hip flexor raises, where they're just bending at the hips and bringing the legs up. I see people do this all the time at the gym. I work out in the morning, and I see middle-aged people who have no business, getting on and hanging on the straps or holding on to the one that supports the arms

and they're doing the program. Just hanging leg raises are in no BS six pack. Just that one. That's the only program. It's not a popular exercise. I recommend. No, because if you do them right, they are in the federal muscle builders. Yeah. But the proper way to do a leg hanging leg raise is you have to go your pelvis has to rotate up. That's the part of the abs that's working. It's not bringing the legs up. The legs are just the lever. The lever is long

because your legs are long and it's not the hips that you wanna flex. That's your resistance. Yes, you wanna get the pelvis to rotate up and squeeze the core. So it's not just bringing legs up, it's rotating the pelvis. And by the way, this exercise is very hard for most people. Strong people.

Even people who think that they can do it, most people do it wrong. Yes. Most people use mostly hip, it's why I don't like using it until I've got somebody who really understands how to do that. So let me give you an example of what I'm talking about

to kind of illustrate this. If, imagine I'm on the ground, and I'm laying flat on my back and I have my arms out over my head, and then I just do this with my arms. Okay, that's the equivalent of what people do with leg raises. And you'd be like, you're not working your abs, you're just moving your arms. Well, that's what people are doing with their legs. Now, you may feel equivalent of what people do with leg raises. And you'd be like, you're not working your abs, you're just moving your arms.

Well, that's what people are doing with their legs. Now, you may feel some of it in your abs because your abs have to stabilize, but that's what's happening. Now, if I wanted to do this and work my core, my arms stay in position and I roll up and work the core. It's the same thing with hanging leg raises. Think of it as a hanging reverse crunch. That's what you're trying to do.

And if your knees are bent, it's easier if your legs are straight. It's harder. Then you'd probably say like we refer them to your hip flex or deactivator video first in terms of like the technique of being able to connect there within that position and then move towards your reverse crunch.

And then what do you call it? Is it a Roman chair? I call it Roman chair. Is it a leg lift, right? No, it's not. It's a Roman chair, I call it Roman chair. It is a leg lift, right? No, it's not. It's a Roman chair. Your arms are pushing down and then you're doing leg lifts. That's what I call it.

I don't think it's a Roman chair. But either way, for me in terms of scale, in terms of like progression, and that would be the next, and then we get up to where we're actually hanging, because that's very difficult just to hang there and then quit, you know, you're buying it from moving. All regress it even more.

This is what it'll look like for me. Laying flat on the ground, reverse crunch first, flat on the ground. Getting that down, knowing how to bring it with your knees tucked up. Then you go to a decline bench. A slight decline. Slight decline bench and do that rolling up.

Then you can incline a little bit more and roll it up. That's exactly it. And then you eventually get to the chair, you're talking about, and then roll it up. And then, right, like, you decline, banter, hold until you get it. And then you get, that's a Roman chair. I knew it. Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, what do you call the other one? I don't know. That's like a hanging leg raise apparatus. I have no idea. Okay. Well, that's interesting. I called it Roman chair, just in two forever, maybe because I taught you

Set me up for failure Well, you know they did rad. I'm gonna blame it It's be too adjusted like 15 years ago. So this is a bit of an atom thing Hey, well, look I did originate in Rome What do they call right there? It's a vertical knee-rays chair. Yeah, let's stupid Even looks more like a chair. You're like sitting in. Yeah, that's why I never question him. It doesn't even relate to a chair.

I never question him. No, remember the function of the abs, you think of, this is your spine. The function of the abs are, they attach here at the lower rib cage and at the pelvis. They have to flex the spine in order to move through their full range of motion to roll it up So roll it up the hips

You know now it can stabilize with hip flexor exercises This might people but I feel a burn I feel a burn. Well, yeah It's it's holding on and stabilizing, but you're not really working on it I understand that you're you're spine can stay like this and you could literally do this with your hips I'm doing it right now, so that's I'm doing this right now It's the if the action of the abs is to roll the spine up and yet you do this with the hips all day long, which is what people do with leg raises and knee ups all the time. And the only reason why they kind of feel the abs is like you said, as it come up and they

come down, the abs help kind of stabilize the deceleration of the, of the legs coming down. So they do feel some abs, but it's not directly hitting the abs at all. It's a terrible exercise. And so I would regress it back to like I said, on the floor, then a slight incline, then a more incline, then the chair that Justin and I thought was the Roman chair,

and then leg raise. And that's a long, like you should do one of those for weeks. And then the next one for weeks. You could easily do that at first. Yeah, you're not doing that for a while before you get to something like that in my opinion, like we're really good. Unless you already have a pretty strong core and are a little more advanced in your own. But once you get there, this is like the app building exercise, one of the most high resistance app exercise for you, right? Well, that's why it's high resistance. So,

if you get to the place where you have really strong abs and then you just do some leg races every now and then, not everybody does it bad. I've seen really fit. I could do maybe 12 or 15 max. And you guys know my course per shot. I'm trying it. At most, right?

Usually it's eight to 10. And people doing those windshield wiper ones. Yeah, lazy. They all fancy with that. Yeah. Next question is from Elsa Vasquez. What should you do if you sleep wrong? Is that your body telling you something?

Define wrong. I know. I said, yeah. Yeah, I know. I was awake all night. I slept wrong. No, I was wrong. They're probably referring to when you wake up

and you have a stiff neck. Oh, okay. Your shoulder hurts. You know, this is just poor sleep usually. Usually poor sleep can result in pain and inflammation. Also, previous injuries can sometimes show up when you're in bed, not moving. So like, you got a stiff shoulder, but because you're moving it all day, you don't notice as much.

Then you're in bed, you're laying on it, not moving for eight hours. Then the pain kind of shows up. But when people would come to me with this, and we even when I would experience this, if I improve the quality of my sleep, like if I didn't look at electronics two hours before, make sure the room was cool, make sure that the room was pitch black,

didn't have stimulants pass the certain point over time of the day, I just didn't wake up feeling achy. I felt really good. I actually noticed the reduction inflammation from using the ulla too. That's one of the companies we work with because it kept my bed cool. So I mean, I would say this, what you, what should you do if you sleep wrong? Is that is that your body telling you something?

Something. Well, yeah, it's telling you that you slept wrong. So let's just take like an example of like you, your pillow was too elevated, and so then your neck is all stiff. Or you were on your side, so your shoulder fell asleep, and so then your shoulders all stiff. This is where prime pro is magical, in my opinion.

So this is like a perfect example of, if someone like a client told me an area like that, I would send them videos from our Prime Pro. So they did slap wrong on their neck and their neck was all locked up in stiff. I would say do the exercises for the neck in Prime Pro and that'll help prime you warm you up and then go about your normal day.

If that was in the shoulder, hip, whatever name your place, we address all that in Prime Pro and they're all mobility drills and priming drills that get you ready. And so I would have them do that. That would be my advice. Yeah, I don't know what times to. It's like the preceding day.

Like maybe you had an intense workout, or you had something that you're, where you're like, I was doing yard work, whatever. And I just was super tight going into sleep. And then I slept in a position that aggravated those same muscles that I had like super tight, I already wake up and I'm just stiff and locked up.

But yeah, like opening up with mobility exercise can help a lot with that. Sometimes that just doesn't mean anything other than like, that's just the position you're locked up into. And maybe you know, maybe you do going into sleep. So that way your body, you know, won't have that tendency to tighten up and firm and feel like it needs to provide stability while you're laying.

Also, as you start to develop muscle or as you start to lose weight, the pillows that you use in your sleep positions may have to change. If you're muscular, you need a bigger pillow. When you're muscular, you got big arms and shoulders, you need more pillow to keep your head. You need one to hug. Dude, I'm serious. I need one to hug.

I'm just sleeping. I'm hugging a pillow. Do you have a face on it? This is nothing new with your fetishes, bro. Don't go down there. Let's say a Drew face on it. Listen, it helps. Well, hey, so here's the side sleep.

I mean, Sal's starting to go that way right now. So I guess if you are consistently feeling pain or stiffness in the same area every time because you sleep, then you do need to look into your bed, your pillow, your sleep routine, getting ready for bed. So your body could be telling you that. So I guess maybe that's what this person is asking. So if you are chronically feeling this same stiff neck,

the same all the time, and- Adjust what you're using, how you're sleeping. Yeah, so there absolutely could be something with the mattress that you're using, the pillow that you're using, even how you get ready for bed and your rest of your hips. To the biggest hips,

you maybe need the wedge pillow in there, for your hips. Two, those are the two, I was just gonna say, the two biggest places where people mess up is the pillow was the wrong size for the size of their shoulders and their neck mobility and they need a pillow between their legs.

In fact, the bigger my legs get, if I bulk and get bigger legs, I need to put a pillow between them. Otherwise, my hips can start to bother me. What was that great company we worked with for a while there? There's your one. Pluto pillow. Yeah, they customized your pillow for that.

I thought that was a really cool company that we only worked with them. So a lot suggesting you hug a pillow and you have one between your legs. I don't have one. That's my legs. It's just one. No, no, no, no, no, it's a hip thing. It goes down below. Yeah. Let's see how see you tomorrow. That's hilarious. Next question is from Seamoss 23. Does blending foods make the nutrients more bioavailable? Oh, what a good question. Depends and people take this to crazy levels. So blending foods breaks them down, increases the ratio of surface area to volume, thus making

it technically easier to break down. But people forget this. Chewing food. A great absorption change. Well, chewing food, yes, you break it down to smaller bits, but the chewing process also produces digestive enzymes in the gut and in the mouth. So when you just blend and drink food very quickly, you're bypassing that process.

You're bypassing a very important signaling process. So like if you just blended your meat and drank it all the time and think, well, I could get more food down this way and I could digest it more, I bet you would probably find digestive issues as a result. Now in some cases, you need mechanical ways

of breaking foods down. For example, wheat. Like you ain't gonna grab wheat off the stalk or whatever, chew on it and be okay. We have to mill the shit out of it in order to make it bioavailable. This is true for a lot of plant foods where you really have to break them down

or cook them, right? Otherwise, this is largely oversold. The whole like... Doesn't it, well, isn't there a role that the air and oxygen plays in the value of the nutrients, too? Like, if you blended up like that, I know, I remember reading like if you left like a,

like if you blended like a, a smoothie or whatever and you let it sit overnight in your refrigerator and then you drank it the next day, some of the nutrient value would go down or get ready. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure that. No, I do know that with certain like, I know that if you, for example, make potatoes or rice and then store them and

reheat them, some of the starch becomes resistant. I'm talking about fruits and general fruits and vegetables in general. Yeah, I'm not sure about that. And the process happens so much faster when it's been blended. If it's fruit is sitting in its holes, it protects it. That's right. When the fruit is sitting in its hole, its hole, its hole and the skin is on there. Could you look that up for Doug maybe for me

and maybe you can fact check, this sounds logical. Well, you know, here's the other thing too, that this is why I'm not a big fan of blending food. Talk about some movies. Whenever do you eat, you know, three apples, two bananas in an avocado while at once, right? Almost never, but you'll blend the shit out of that

and make it a smoothie. Go get yourself a, a jamba juice. Because I'm not a big fan of juicing or juicers, because you have to go through, you have to have so much. So constant. Oh, it's like a hundred grams of sugar. And one, what you would never do if you ate the fruit

is vegetables. It's one thing, that's another, because the vegetables are so low. You want to know what else, too. You know, a lot of fruit is really hot. There's a case, and I actually believe this case. There's, you know, we have to remove our wisdom teeth, right? Oh, we gotta get rid of our wisdom teeth all the time.

Do you know that children who grow up chewing on tough things? It actually spreads their palate and creates space for the teeth to come in. So when babies are fed constant baby food that's blended up, we develop smaller jaws and we have less space for teeth. So that chewing process, there's much more to it than just it breaks the food into smaller bits. up, we develop smaller jaws and we have less space for teeth.

So that chewing process, there's much more to it than just it breaks the food into smaller bits. There's a lot of physiological things that are happening and there's a lot of value in that. And of course, for most of human evolution, we didn't have blenders. So it kind of makes sense. What does it say there? It does, but it says it's not going to be great.

Okay. So because of oxidation. Yes. Yeah. I don't think it's not going to be great. Okay. Cause of oxidation. Yes. Yeah. I don't think it makes that big of a difference. I'm not a huge fan of blending shit up, except for enjoying a smoothie. I like the way you do it. Also talking about the bioavailability

by blending or not blending. We're also talking about things that I would never talk to a client about. Like if you're splitting hairs at that rate, like trying to increase the bioavailability of it by blending it up. Or, or to what I was bringing up, but worrying about the oxygen of it,

that's like, come on at the end of the day. It can make sense for certain plant foods, like chlorella, for example. Chlorella is just very nutrient dense, you know, in plant terms, algae, I think chlorella is an algae if I'm not mistaken. But if you, if you try to eat it and chew on it, and you get anything, you have to break it down

and break it down and mill it, same thing with wheat, same thing with other vegetables, you can cook plants and that'll help quite a bit. But for the most part, like the chewing process, there are things that happen in the brain, the body, like I said, digestive enzymes, hormones and chemicals that release, that are from the chewing process that you bypass

when you drink your food. And again, I'm gonna go back to babies. We feed babies because they don't have teeth or whatever, but it actually changes the shape of our jaws. And children who don't chew on tough things tend to need braces and tend to run out of room for their teeth. Whereas when kids are allowed to chew on tough things like they do in ancestral cultures, they don't need to remove their wisdom teeth. They actually can fit everything. Next question is from Thabish K, do performing squats, dead lifts, and overhead presses make you shorter.

That would happen, Doug. Were you big, were you big over head presser? Very big. He was six, seven, four. He's been crushing him. And then pounded into the ground. You know it's one of them. Okay, so this is a funny question.

It reminds me the old myth, like the children lifting and they just stut your growth. You know, that's what they used to tell you when you were, you know, it's a little persist. You know what's funny about this is that people as they age do get shorter, but it's not because, no, it's because they're lifting heavy shit. It's literally because their bones are deteriorating.

Deterrating in their, in their ground. Yeah, they're closing up. They're closing up. Yeah, and even if you straighten them out. Space between their vertebrae and then y'all. closing up. Yeah, and even if you straighten them out. Space between their vertebrae and everything else. Even if you, yes, even if you straighten them out, they're shorter. Yeah. But it's the opposite, lifting heavy things, first off,

lift the appropriately, right? You can injure yourself, but lifting heavy things appropriately over the years, over the decades, for the entire life. Slow that one. Well, maintain your height. That's right. It won't make your shorter. It'll keep you from getting shorter. And in multiple ways, because you're right, your bones like are going to deteriorate. But you also you, I think like when, so for example, my uncle always

talks about this. Monk with Casey, who you guys know, because he was, you know, he says he was 64 or 63 and he's like two, a good two inches shorter than me now. But he's also got terrible posture. Yeah, that too. Half of it is like the rounding of the back and closing in and then also to your point what's going on. And both are improved by weight training. If you perform a really good squat and overhead press for most of your life, you're going to have pretty damn good posture. You'll maintain it.
