Yeah. That's probably a good transition actually. Well, that's how he's he originally he originally started as a country singer. Uh, and he was he was told that if he was going to make it big or this is that that that he was it was better off that he went into the side. All I know is that that people always tell me you got to go to a country concert. So many hot chicks. That's it. That's all I've ever known about country. I have a confession to make. Okay. That guy you mentioned. What's his name

again, Aaron? Yeah, I forget his last name. Sunson. Yeah, okay for him. Yeah, probably. Do I want to admit this? Yeah. So when I broke up with my girlfriend, like when I was in college and I was like super depressed, right? And it was like the most cold winter ever in like history of Chicago. I don't know if that's accurate. Did she break up with her? Did she break up with her?

She totally broke up with me, but like it was because I hinted at it before I left. And I went there and then like, I remember that song came on. It was the super. I splutch myself in the face and got over it. You cried in the shower. You know what?

Sal's been married since fucking, he was born soon. He didn't go to the, I went to that bro. At one point I remember like, girl for like 20 something. A girl, I was a little bit younger, I was more like 16, but a girl broke my heart when I was about that age. And I do remember like locking myself in my room

for like two days straight. Like my mom's like banging the door. Are you okay in there? And I'm like, headphones on, staring at the ceiling, like listening to all those sad depressing songs like is your cry? I'm fine mom. I'll be out there for dinner Well, I cried Just just something about I I cried this weekend. You did not I swear to God God, I cried this weekend. Over what? Really?

Let me tell you what happened. So family, it's, it's, it's, it's family transition to veganism. No. My gipples are sore. Family, it was family movie night. So we're sitting there and with the kids and I'm like, I'm going to find a good movie that, that we can all watch. And we've seen all everything on fucking Netflix and I can't find anything. So I'm like I'm gonna find a good movie that that we can all watch and we've seen all everything on fucking Netflix and I can't find anything so I'm like oh there was this book

I loved when I was a kid bridge to terabetia anybody read that one yeah that's a great book great book when I was a kid I loved it but I read it like once or twice I didn't remember the whole thing I just remember that I loved it so I went on I searched and there's a movie they made about it yeah in 2007 I didn't see it was any good so I put the movie on right and it's a movie they made about it. Yeah in 2007. I didn't see it was any good So I put the movie on right and it's a fucking great movie and I'm with spoiler alert If you want to watch that movie you might need to you might want to fast forward. Okay, but this kid He's kind of poor gets picked on at school. New girl comes to school She gets picked on to become best friends their neighbors

They have woods behind their house. They go and playing the woods woods. And there's this creek that they swing across this rope to get across. And on the other side, they invented this place called Terabitia. And it's just their imagination. And there's kids. They become best friends. And it's super cute.

And my kids are watching it. And they're loving it. They're like, oh, wow, this is such a good movie. And everybody's in a good mood. And then it gets to the part where it remembers you. I remember what happened. And I was like, too late to like, we're getting there. And I'm like, I look at my wife.

I'm like, oh, fuck. Here it comes. And my wife's like, what? And I'm like, I think I remember what happens now. Oh, my God. So the boy is supposed to meet up with the girl to go play in terabetia. It had been raining really hard the night the day before.

But he gets a phone call from his teacher who wants to take him on a kind of a field trip. And he has this big crush on the teacher. So he leaves this friend kind of ditches her and goes hang out a field trip and he has this big crush on the teacher. So he leaves his friend, kind of ditches her and goes hang out with his teacher, that has big crush on, comes back and finds out the fucking girl, the rope broke, she drowned and died. He died.

Fucking ruined everything. So I'm looking at this and I'm like, fuck, right? It's sad, that's not why I cried. I'll tell you why I cried. I look over at my kids, bro, and they're hugging each other. Ah! My daughter has her head, head in my son's lap, and he's hugging her and kind of consoling her.

And I'm like, I took a picture of them with my phone. Because I like this is too cute. I took a picture of them, and then I'm like, did you guys like that movie? And my son's like, no, he's like, it's too sad, Papa. And then my daughter was like, I just want to go to bed. I just fucking, like it's just deflated everything. I ruined their weekend.

Right. We're waiting to go. I did the same thing. I have to admit with you guys have know that movie inside out. Yeah. Yeah. So that is it. That movie will get you emotional if you have kids though.

Bro, it was, it was, it was crazy. Like, it isn't really sad movie. I mean, it's just like it sets you up like on this like disaster path to like, water town. You know what I'm saying? And it just kind of keeps building and building this, the part where she's like,

they let the sadness kind of take over. Like she lets, okay, now she's in control. And like, I look over my son and just the water works are gone. He's got wife's got I'm just like what's happening? The ship's going down and it was just like bad. No nothing just ruined his whole night. Nothing is more sad than up. Oh terrible. Up is fucking terrible. Somebody in the very beginning. Yeah. Do they build it up? It's this beautiful couple that you fucking You're just like thanks a lot picks are you know another one that you know so my wife was all like kind of pissed off

I mean, she's my girl hates movies like that. She's like why don't we're gonna watch next week old Yeller Disney wants you to know that people die. Yeah, apparently is their plan. Well, see, I like movies that have, I mean, even a sad movie, if it's got a different ending, I hate predictable, happy, same old ending. I was like, that ain't life. Well, we said everybody up like that, that ain't life. Yeah, but it happens.

I don't like movies though that when I leave, I'm in a worse mood than I used to feel. I don't like that. Well, the worst is when you do what you guys did, which is, I don't know how many times I've done that before where it's like, you watched a long time ago and you're like, man, I remember this is a really good movie. Yes, I can't remember what, how it plays out,

then you're watching, you're gonna like, oh, shit. Yeah. Now remember what goes on right now. Oh, dear. This is where it takes a left. But when you have kids, it's especially true because you just try to remember all the kids, the movies when you were a kid

But you can't quite remember them like Gremlins like I put I put Gremlins on now Let me ask you this Adam when the last I was grandma was scary when you were Scary as fuck. Yes. I don't remember it being scary. Oh, yeah I was scary when you're I remember them being cute and then some of them get ugly and I don't but I don't remember them Killing people and they throw them in a microwave and turn it on and fucking explode him crazy shit I put this all my kids and I'm like this little bastard things I had a change dude that shit was it's a horror movie It's like children's film. Yeah, no, it's scary when you're kid. Yeah, children God, yeah, he's a little put on Chuckie

God speaking of that point speaking of predictable so I'm watching to fucking News the other day and they're like oh Charlie Sheen made a crazy announcement. He's got HIV. Was anybody shocked about that? Really? Was anybody shocked about Charlie Sheen getting HIV? No, no.

Just a fact that can still happen, from partying, too crazy. In this day and age, if you get HIV because you're parting, you are going hard. You're going to paint so hard. Well, I think he admitted too that he had sex with over a hundred women while he had it. It's a numbers game. That was after he had it.

So what did he do to get it? Well, I remember actually, remember reading an article in Maxim. Look, we should look this up actually because because I wanna say he had said a number like 5,000 women that he had slept with. And this was Maxim like when I was in high school, bro. He is, yes, I mean, he's not a tear. Yeah, that's crazy. Well, that dude, that's a lot.

Now, I think Wil Chamberlain, I was just saying Wil Chamberlain, does he not? Because if he doesn't, he's a specimen. What do you mean, does he have a... If he doesn't, yeah. Does he? I don't think Wil Chamberlain does it, yeah. But that dude, man, he's a specimen. What do you mean does he have a... If he doesn't, does he? I don't think well-changed one. I don't think he does it, yeah.

But that dude, man, he did some numbers. But he, see Chamberlain was doing it back when it wasn't as prevalent, right? Wasn't Chamberlain, what was he at, like a basketball star? Was that the 70s? Yeah, he was back in the day. That's when HIV was like, still wasn't, like it didn't blow up. Yeah, 80s, obviously 80s would magic got it.

Some of that is probably when it was most prevalent in our society. But yeah, there was nothing shocking about Charlie Sheen coming out. Hey, everybody, it's to me, it's kind of funny about like, I know somebody on my social media was like got kind of sensitive about it at first. I'm like, well, here's the thing. Somebody like that, you kind of bring that upon yourself.

You know, it's not like this guy just accidentally got it. I mean, you're literally, he's on a rampage. Yeah, he's playing craps with his dick. You know, and sooner or later you crap out, you know, it's this. I don't care how hot of a roller you are. Like eventually, you know, you hit, you hit seven. It's gonna happen. He had fucking seven, dude. So you had a hot roll over a long time. Not the way you want to gamble. No, no, no, no, definitely not the way you want to play. Crap. Where are we going with this today? I was just talking about us. Well, we got a holiday coming up.

Thanksgiving. Oh, we're gonna get festive. Yeah, that's festive, bro. You know, because that's how it felt when we started. It did. It was like, it didn't. It was a holiday. We're talking about, we're talking about each HIV.

We'll go right into Thanksgiving. You know what I mean? Keep it in the family. Yeah, that's how we do things. Thanksgiving is easily my favorite holiday. Easily my favorite holiday. It's one of mine. It's top.

It's my favorite because it's Christmas minus the retail. You know what I'm saying? You've got to buy a bunch of shit and go to the mall with all those fucks. You can just hang out and be yes. That's a fair analogy. You just get the family gets together. You eat a shit ton of food, some people drink,

you have a great time, and then no presence. You don't have to worry about all that bullshit. You know what I'm saying? You can go play tag of football. Do you find yourself just in after Christmas like coming home with a car loaded of shit? Oh yeah, she's saying pain. You don't even know where to put it.

There's lots of stuff you get to assemble and, you know. Oh my God, that's true. Damn it. We're so small. I guess that's a good point. I think, I think, right, I hate having so much stuff. First world problem. Bunch of assholes.

How would you mail it to some kids? Exactly, and I'm like, we just put it right in this truck, send it off. I, so I do this every year. In fact, last year was the first year I didn't. You stuffed the turkey? No, no, every year I actually, I adopt a family.

Baby, pipe. You adopt a family? I do. They every year I actually, I adopt a family. Baby, pipe. You adopt a family? I do. They live in your house and shit or? No. I adopt a family for Christmas. So I, and I, for, I don't know. Oh, like you buy them a dinner or something?

No, dumbass. Whoa. You don't even do this. He's all, I'm a nice guy, but the fucker. Yeah. No, no, no, no. You've never done that before. I adopt a family.

Yeah, you get like a, I adopt a whole family for Christmas. So, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, email me a profile and the profile is gives me everything. So it's like they're a fan, you know, husband and wife. If there is sometimes it's just an only mother. And then the age, the age of the kids, where they live, their address with the kids, you know, boy girl, what they want, what they need. And I get all that. And normally I have to do it, like normally they don't have me. Oh, so it's like you buy them their gifts.

Yeah, they're normally really poor. Like I normally have to get a Christmas tree and lights and bring food. That's very nice of you. Yeah, the whole month leading up to that, I normally do nice of you. Yeah, the whole month leading up to that. I normally do it right after Thanksgiving and then the whole month leading up to that. I shop for them, I get food, I get all those things like that, and I can do it. Probably one of the coolest, most rewarding things.

I started it back when I was a manager at 24-Aufendus. The first time I did it, I did it with my staff. It was pretty fucking rad. I got back then, I had like 20 trainers. I did it with my staff. So it was pretty fucking rad. I got, you know, back then I had like 20 trainers. So I got the whole staff involved in doing it. And I had, and I used to have that big lifted Chevy. And I brought over like the whole Chevy was just loaded full of Christmas presents that we have been collecting

for a month. And I probably gave these kids, I felt this lady's house up with like Christmas clothes. Yeah, probably one of the, and rolling up there. It was so cool. And this is kind of, this gives you a little piece of like how I group and what why I enjoy this so much My sibling my family. I used to do the same thing for my siblings now the unfortunate part is I've trained my siblings to Expect that as I've gotten older like that, you know, you know, what's their brother gonna buy them

I mean now they're in their 20s now and grown up adults, so I tell them, you don't get shit. You know what I said? That's what I said. You're grown up adult. Hey, you me this year, man. We're full, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. But, and of course, you know, their list, they would send me, my brother and sister, you know, for Christmas, they would, this was when they were younger, send me over like Xbox 360, computer laptop, you know, HD camera, like Jesus, you know, like, and what's dope is you Seriously, you get these kids like you could go to ride aid bro and get some

Presence and coloring books and these kids are like crying and so excited and happy as soon as you roll up with these toys and stuff Oh, it's it's unreal. It's makes it makes for me. It's probably one of my favorite things to do Maybe we'll do that like a mind pump thing this year. I would love to do that. I would love to. I would love to that. Mind pump adopts a family. Yeah, I'll organize it for us.

And maybe if we actually do it right, we can even do it enough in advance that if we had listeners that actually wanted to contribute or do something like that, maybe we can organize something. But definitely us. We definitely should. Oh, no, yeah. We'll do it on our own if anybody wants to do anything that's great. If we have local listeners, maybe they can do something. So that's a kind

of tradition that you have. Yeah. It's something that I've been doing for a long time as a single dude. So I enjoy doing it. A lot of times I won't do anything at my own house or anything like that. I do. I do have a habit of buying myself something really nice every year. I've done that for a long time too. But you get your stuff from shoes nicer than that normally. Yeah, it's right. Shows are cool, but I know I know I kind of spoil myself a little bit on the holidays too, but I feel like I justify that

because I'm doing something nice for other people too. I think it's fair, right? Karma, the karma balance says that, right? Right? Totally. Selfish if I just bought myself something, but and didn't buy everything else. I think that's how I maybe it probably started when I was

younger and I figured that out. I'm like, man, I feel like such an ass. I got a jet pack. I don't know. A jet pack. Justin, what's your, what's your, do you have a tradition for Thanksgiving? I don't know. Yeah, I guess.

I mean, for us really, I mean, we actually go to cut our tree on what everybody does for Black Friday will do it then. So, yeah, so that's our big thing. Dude, I'm going to be up your way. That's our traditional. Oh, it's great on Friday. Yeah, we come to Santa Cruz. Fuck you.

Yeah, it's off. Fuck you. Yeah, anyway, I have a victory. Yeah, I put that thing on. We're going to equal friendly. Look at you. No, no, it's called lazy. No, it's called lazy.

It's called lazy. I don't want to go hide the book. Yeah, I'm going to jump and put you. No, it's called I have a big no, it's called lazy. It's called lazy. I don't want to go hide The chocolate. Where do you go? I go up to this this farm. It's like up off of Not bear Creek Road, but like the one around black black mountain or black some at the very time I have the same place where we go. Yeah, yeah I have to off to see if we can you know, yeah, no If you're going to be and we normally go the day after thing. Oh, bring the cocoa. Yeah, that's what we do. We do cocoa and so that's like,

I'll take the kids as a swing. Yeah, you know, take the dog and the dog runs around. And yeah, it's always fun. I mean, that was more of my wife's tradition with her family and stuff and I just got adopted into that. But, and then we have, we go back and have Irish coffees and I'm not gonna complain about that. Ooh, what's an Irish coffee?

You don't want an Irish coffee, is it? It's like, it's like all hot whiskey with a splash of coffee. And then whipped cream. Maybe a dab of Baleys. Yeah, that's what that's Baleys sometimes. Yeah, that's one of my favorite drinks. See, for us, for Christmas, we all drive around and look at lights. And there's particular neighborhoods we go to that we drive through.

Oh, yeah, that's fun. So we do that. And then Thanksgiving, my tradition tradition i told you guys this post that the day after is my post thanks giving gweedow workout do that's what we we should do and that's what you all the time all the market can we get to get a good work out of the country you know i feel like

i'm the ass over here's not a really are we all still invited to go to work out of the world you guys want to come to the we got our wife beaters did me. Me and Adam are in the bottom. There's like seven of us. So it'll be a blast. What can we, maybe we can work out at your place? Yeah. Is anybody gonna be, no one will be there.

It's probably not open on things They will it's a day after Thanksgiving it might be open. Yeah, after they know we can probably do things giving Yeah, no, no, it's a day after Thanksgiving. We do it. We don't work out on Thanksgiving It's the post Thanksgiving. We don't work. We're probably to do it your place

You said your place you have it. Yeah, it's a right for a lot of people. That's fine. Let's work this out on air. Yeah. We're talking about it. So, how do you guys prep or anything for things? Because I gain a good 3, 4 pounds. Oh yeah, I'll fast.

We do. Let's give some advice. Let's give some advice to the listeners and how not to become fat asses on Thanksgiving. Right. Or the day after Thanksgiving. So Right. What's the after Thanksgiving? So fasting? That's a good option.

I make my clients and myself what we will do. You make them? Yeah, I make them. I say on Wednesday night. You just fucking eat, I'm gonna put you through. Well, no, here's what I look at. This is my thing. I like you guys.

I'm a huge advocate. I love Thanksgiving. It's one of my favorite holidays and I love all the good food. And I'm at being a personal trader in a fitness fanatic like we all are, that day I'm not counting calories. That day I'm gonna have Irish coffee,

that day I'm gonna have pie, that day I'm gonna stuff my face. Mind you, I'll be mindful about it. I'm not gonna go crazy, but also the same time too. I don't wanna care. I wanna play board games. I wanna enjoy my family.

So, I'll tell, and what Thanksgiving is normally what afternoon, right? Most people are making their Thanksgiving dinner anyway between noon and four or five o'clock is right? That's pretty pretty worth a four. Yeah. Pretty normal, right? So that's perfect for the the the warrior fast type of mentality. So I cut off cut off. So you talk about the day of Thanksgiving the day past all day. No, no, no, day before you cut off at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. And then you and then you don't eat till Thanksgiving dinner. Yeah. I might have like a bullet proof coffee first thing in the morning. So I might do my I may do that. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and like Adam does in terms of what to eat. I kind of just go nuts. And you guys have never witnessed me going nuts when it comes to food.

It's actually disgusting. It's pretty gross. He's like a 500 pound man stuffed in there. It's like I'm a drug addict with food. Because I'll eat and I'll eat and I'll be in pain. I'll sit on the couch and be like, oh fuck, like in pain. And I'll just get up and eat more food.

I'm gonna eat some more of this food. And so, and then the next day after, we have the post things giving workout, post things giving Guido workouts, excuse me. Then we go get burgers and then we eat a shit ton of horrible food that day. And then the day after is when I try to clean it up. And what I'm gonna do this time is I think Saturday,

I'm gonna do just a water fast on Saturday. I'm gonna do a longer fast on Saturday think Saturday, I'm gonna do just a water fast on Saturday. I'm gonna do a longer fast on Saturday. So yeah, I just try and remain active. Like that's my biggest thing. So if I can, if I can eat, and I'm kind of with you, like I'll probably end up doing like Adam said, something similar as far as the pre-fast,

but then definitely taking moments where everybody's just gonna sit like a slug and I'm gonna be up doing you know moving around Doing some shit grab the dogs, you know walk up and down the neighborhood do stuff like that Just so I'm like once I'm like sitting and and I'm probably gonna pass it out and I'm done I'm like a piece. Oh, then you take that I'm gonna do the things giving massive real similar to I'll actually do the exact so why I'm in that Fastest state so basically from you know whenever I wake up all the exact. So why I'm in that fastest state. So basically from, you know, whenever I wake up, all the way to about, so our, our thing's giving,

I believe is at two o'clock this year. So all the way up until two o'clock, it's pretty much everybody kind of drinking and snacking and kind of family hanging out. And I always do the exact same thing. What I'll do is I'll actually either get on my treadmill or I'll walk the dogs a couple of times around the block and just I'll try and get as many steps and calories

burn leading up to that. So because like you once I sit down and decide it's time to eat and get down and you know to be honest, probably probably eat less as a result because you're not sitting around the food the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. Great. So step one, use fasting, step two, move around.

Yeah. What about food choices? Because I've always told clients go for the protein first. Yeah, go for the meat, eat your turkey. Meat veggies load as much as you can fit in there and then fit whatever is left. You still get full on turkey and veggies. If you do then eat the other stuff.

Honestly, if you actually do those two things, we're talking about leading up to like a fast, moving around like that, and then you eat meat and veggies, literally try and get full off of that first. And then honestly, you could go bananas on top of that and you're probably gonna be okay. You'll be like, ugh.

Yeah, you'll eat like two marshmallows. Yeah, if you put a pound of turkey down with a pound of turkey down with a half pound of green beans or whatever your veggie is that you have on your table, I bet you won't even be able to eat that many slices of pie, but go for it. Go for it.

What are some of the worst foods you could go for? Oh, dude, don't give me so that cheese cake. Yesterday was my- What about the egg knock, dude? Oh, egg knock is the worst thing ever. Bro, that's like a thousand calories. It's amazing how bad that is. I love egg knock.

It's impressive. And they actually now have an alternative, which I have in my refrigerator right now, which is almond knock. Oh, fuck that. No, it's bomb, bro. I love egg knock. I can't have dairy.

I can't eat. I can't eat. You can probably have almond. Dude, it's bomb, bro. I love it. I can't have I can't have dairy. I can't have any So you talking about you. I have all of them dude moor's if you're a hermours Moor's look it up. It is the biggest cow calorie bomb ever known to man. What's a moor? It's just the name of the egg not oh moor's is what it's called so egg nog is made with milk egg Yo, but it's fantastic. What else? I love eggnog. Cream and then they put. And then they put alcohol sometimes. I used to love eggnog. So I'm going to get that almond gnarge.

Yeah, it's bomb. It's literally like 110 calories. So listeners, I'm going to get that, but we're recommending you don't. You don't drink eggnog. Stuffing. What about stuffing? No, no, listen, so yesterday was. Do the apple cider, you're probably better off without the egg now

Listen, you ever tried the apple cider the Dickens brand the hot dick insider so good Hot dick inside I love that Long as it is accepting I mean you know how long I've we've waited to use that joke up my putt Time finally came I know I'll just I'll just pat myself for the assist Come and enjoy sales Sal's hot dick inside of it. DICK INSIDER. We're loving it.

We're on it. We're on to something. So yesterday was, when he's thinning him in Katrina's family on Sunday, they all got together. This was their big meeting. So they have a big meeting on what we decide who's responsible for what dishes.

Oh, you guys get crazy. Oh, they, everyone's responsible. So for certain dishes, who's house, all that with that. Oh, everyone's responsible for certain dishes, whose house, all that shit happens. We pick names for Christmas. It's a big tradition for them to do this. I roll and lay. I'm watching football at Sunday.

That's a very important day for betting and watching football for me. So I'm not gonna head over there quite yet. Why head over there? And everyone's giving me shit that, you know, Adam strolls in whatever, and he's not a part of all this stuff. And I'm like, you guys don't want me to be a part of this. Anyways, because I don't like have to shit that you're all bringing.

And everyone's like, oh, what's wrong with it? I'm like, okay, first of all, we do bacon and fucking green beans, which to me is like an oxymoron. I said, then we do a seven layer, a seven layer macaroni and cheese fucking dish, which is literally like seven pounds of cheese layered with butter, like you put four cubes of butter on it, with the noodles and the cheese.

That's just screams hard to attack. Let's eat the cheese. Then we take sweet potatoes, which is one of my favorite things to eat, and we fucking ruin it with maple syrup and marshmallows. Am I the only one getting a boner? Dude, this is the stuff that is going to be at the table where I'll be at right now. So I'm like, you know, I'm cool. I'll just have my slices of turkey and some mashed potatoes and stuff.

I like my staples. Guys, let me explain something to you. Okay, let me tell you something about my culture. Okay. My culture, my people, we don't need an excuse to eat a lot. Like, we don't need a holiday. We just need to get together and we're gonna eat a shit ton of food.

Now, what do you think happens at an Italian Thanksgiving? Okay. Think of all the traditional- A sandwich, of course, meal. Bro, think of all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes, all of them the turkey the stuffing the sweet potato everything right? That's all there we do all that and then on top of it we throw all the oil on everything we know We just fucking port now then on top of pasta and we just passed out it dude then on top of it We throw our own dishes we have our own traditional dishes that we put in there

We have pasta a ford know someone might make lasagna. We have sausages and meatballs all kinds we put in there. We have pasta, al forno, some of them might make lasagna, we have sausages, and meatballs, all kinds of additional Italian dishes on top of the Thanksgiving dinner. Wow. That's what I'm talking about. You know what though, I'll give you credit for that because those things I think are good, rich foods.

If you're gonna get down, the thing I have, like the stuff I was just labeling, like why, I'm like, let's have bacon. I'm cool with bacon, but bacon with green beans, like why? Why ruin my green beans? Or why ruin my bacon? Yeah.

You know, and if you guys want to, that's how butter and my chocolate is growing up. Like my mom would just, you know, try to force me to eat like, he's vest what he wants. So she'd pour like a ton of butter on it or try to like put like, villvita cheese, like,

that made it better. That's what my mom would put. Horrible. We would think this's like packet slice cheese for those Machine craft fucking disgust us. Yes. Why won't we would do like the craft America Choose you pull the plastic off of it and you sit it over the microwave A little bit crispy, you know, I'm saying like it's got some You know, you know, you're like a neighbor to it. It takes all flavorway and just like melts it in the moushy land They'll be the shit. I'm like why it to it. It takes all flavor away and just like melts it in the mushy land.

It'll be the shit. I'm like, why it was awful. Why are we even eating it like this? Like if I, I'll just ask some cheese. I'm something else because I, or on my baked potato or something, that's for you. 100% I think it's so good.

So those are some good tips that we just gave people. Well, I love the idea of information. Going to, going to the gym, yeah, because let's be honest, if you're gonna be loading, I mean, a lot of that good use is going to be ready tomorrow the next morning. Well, see, this is what I'm thinking. I'm thinking, forget about it.

If you don't have access to a gym, whatever, but how awesome is it on the following day that you get your family together and you guys do a hike or something outdoor? Yes. You know, you know, they have what is it? All the, I believe all the national parks are free on Black Friday. They just announced it. Yeah, so you can go hiking for free in these beautiful places the day after,

instead of going shopping like an asshole. And you know what, hey, go online, buy shit online. Why are people still going to stores? Fuck, I hate that shit. Stop it. What, when did national parks start charging to go into? They cost money. Yeah, they did do that. Yeah, they all cost money. A lot of them, you started to fee. You They cost money. Yeah, I did do that.

Yeah, they all cost money. Yeah, lots of money. You see me, you see me does. I don't know any other. They'll charge you a fee on top of the fact that basin. Yeah, everywhere around here. Really? Yeah, yeah.

Oh, I never knew, I never knew. I bet that they're free on that day. But I don't know even, what's the newer national park to us? There's gotta be one in Santa Cruz, right? Well, big basin. Yeah, basin is at the nearest big sir. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.

That's so that's a nice that's a nice little thing maybe do something the day after. Yeah, you know, we're actually people play football sometimes on things. I used to do that quite a bit, especially with my friends. The best is when it would rain and you get a football. I did. Love it. Yeah. Little turkey ball. I play football once. Yeah, we have we have a basketball this year. We're gonna do basketball. So that's gonna be cool. There Love it. Yeah, little turkey ball. I play football once. Yeah, we have a basketball. This year we're gonna do basketball. So that's gonna be cool. There you are.

Yeah, most all of Katrina's family played ball at one point. So last year I tried to get everybody to do it. And everybody was like, oh, I had my show. And everyone's like, oh, no, you could get hurt. And then you show. And then we're gonna feel so bad. I'm like, I don't give a shit. Come on.

They're like, no, no, Katrina's like, no, no. I'm still like pretty. So this year I'm like, there's no show. There's no reason. I don't care if I get hurt. Let's go play. And I think it's a great idea right after we eat, like that's go burn off some stuff. I think that's the main thing is that it's like one or the other, right?

Either you need to have some sort of self control and moderation. If you're going to sit around and watch football all day long and just talk to your family and drink and eat, you know, like be careful because that could really be compounding really fast. But if you make an effort like possibly to fast before or be active and move before and move after, it really, I mean, you minimize a lot of the damage. Yeah, absolutely. And you know, one thing too, and this is anecdotal, but I've had a lot of clients, talk about

this. And even some people in the forum where they'll have like a, like they go on a vacation and they eat really bad for three days, which is fine, you're on vacation, enjoy yourself. Then when you come back, you notice your cravings are much stronger for bad foods. And it's very hard to get back into gear. A lot of, I've heard from a lot of clients and from a couple of people in the forum

that a fast resets you, much easier. So you gotta have one hardcore day and then the next day your cravings are gone. Well, how I explain, you know what that is? That's your leptin being shot up. Yeah. The larger the meal, the more calories you put down, the harder your leptin shoots up. And that feeling that we get is those elevated levels.

If you just can discipline yourself in leptin, I hate that so much. If you can just discipline yourself the next day, you get actually huge benefits for coming back in control, but it's really hard for people because they still find themselves doing it. Here's another tip that we didn't give Give all your leftovers to your fat aunt Yeah, give them all to her What if what if the fat aunt is listening? Hey listen if you're listening right now and all of a sudden everybody
