All right, here comes the show. Don't be afraid of salt. Sodium is probably not going to hurt you. Look, in the extreme cases, yeah, you got to be careful. And then lest your doctor tells you, this is something you need to look at, unless you have a specific reason, stop fearing sodium. It's fine. That only is it fine, but for those of you that work out, and especially those of you that work out and eat a whole food-based diet, you're probably going to want to even add sodium to your diet for improved

athletic performance, better pumps, and and yes better health embrace the flavor. Okay. You think this is reached the masses It well, no, you know you know why you know why I did this one. I was a study that's circulating right now Everybody's freaking out over. Oh, yeah, I'm gonna pull up a study all more really call this disinformation or miss Well, I don't know the difference between the two. Here's the problem. Here's one of the big problems with studies Huh miss or this yeah, what is the difference between those a woman of the big problems with studies. Huh? Miss or Dis? Yeah, what is the difference between those? A woman says one, the other one, guy says. Stupid.

I don't know. That's not what it is. Miss information or disinformation? Miss information is wrong. Disinformation is what I'm purposely trying to make. Like a CPU? Maybe. That's how it is.

Look at misinformation versus the... Am I right? So, misinformation, I just, I quote something wrong. I don't know any better, but disinformation is, I know better, but I'm trying to miss you up. I'm not though. I know we're doubting you I know Thanks, he just I know he's been here how many episodes now? All right, so look this is the study fucking team him today I was waiting for you

What are you guys doing? All day today he's been pushing to team You're right now is a bad day today. So push him to the team. You're right, that was a bad idea. I noticed he was awfully quiet. I'm gonna squeeze you in. I'm gonna cook the bear. Stop. Nobody knows what we're talking about.

We're gonna fight earlier, okay everybody? All right, look, comfortable now. So everybody's sharing the study because the study showed that every single person in the study who cut their sodium had a improvement, not a huge improvement, but had an improvement in blood pressure. Okay, right away I have a question. Yes.

So, did they control where the sodium came from or is it just like, hey, let's just measure people's sodium when they reduce their sodium, do they get better? Okay, so I'll get into the study. But before I get into that, because you're close, and that's what I thought to you, I'm like, okay, this is weird. So first off, is lower blood pressure necessarily always better? There's arguments that could say that not necessarily depend. If you're in a healthy range, in fact, sometimes you can go too low. I know my wife has this where she suffers from migraines from it. And if she gets up too fast from being on the floor or something like that, she

can get dizzy. My mom has this, yeah. Yeah, she'll pass out sometimes. Right, so lower isn't always better. Number one, now in this case, none of them got to that crazy place, but I just want to say that. Number two, there's other studies that show that in the context of a healthy diet, active, the higher sodium intakes were healthier and people had better longevity. So those are previous studies. Nonetheless, I'm gonna read to you

a part of the study that I copied and paced it because here's where it gets interesting, okay? So, and you won't see this unless you go to the actual study and read it, because I read the, like the kind of breakdown on Science Daily, and even that doesn't tell you everything, right? And that's better than a news article. What do the news articles say?

Sodium is bad for you, cut it, it makes you healthier. Right, right. Science Daily, that doesn't say that, but it also, it doesn't give you the details. So I had to actually go to the actual study. With the abstract. To read the actual, not even the abstract, the abstract is not even gonna tell you,

you have to really break down and go in. Yeah, so here's what it said. The high sodium, so they took groups of people, obviously. The high sodium diet was achieved pragmatically by daily supplementation of each participant's usual diet with an additional two bullion packets, each containing 1100 milligrams of sodium. So what they did is they took people and they said,

don't change anything. We're gonna add bullion. We're gonna add these two packets of sodium. So what they did is they took people and they said, don't change anything. We're gonna add these two packets of sodium. Well, it gets better. So let's see what the other group did, right? The low sodium diet, this is where I'm like, how are people even taking this seriously? The low sodium diet was standardized the cross-sites and prepared in metabolic kitchens at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Okay. One week of low sodium meals, snacks and beverages were provided at no cost to participants with instructions not to consume anything outside. That was provided. Okay. What? What? You changed their diet. You didn't just change your sodium. You changed their diet. Yes. You didn't just change your sodium. I'm in the whole diet. You changed your diet. Yes.

So at the very least, the study is not to mention that you take the average person who's eating. They are, and we've talked about this before, most people don't need to add sodium because most people eat highly processed foods, which is always higher. So if you take most people that are already consuming the upper end of sodium,

and they're also getting a lot of other stuff they probably don't need, and eating in a surplus because that's what the normal American diet is, highly processed foods. And then you slap on an extra 111 milligrams of sodium on that, of course they're going to not do as well as the group that you control their diet and made it a kitchen. Good, lower sodium food. I would like to see them do the same, the sodium the same, but now you guys eat the diet that they prepared for you guys eat whatever you want. This at the very least means nothing

because the, and first by the way, they didn't show any other improvements or changes in health markers necessarily. Maybe some in the low sodium group, and that tells me right there that they change, like what did they prepare for them? I'm pretty sure they didn't prepare for them. A diet that was identical to the diets that they had

on their own at home. So it's terrible control. It's completely terrible control. And then apples and oranges. Yes. And then to what you're saying, Adam, like the studies that show that high sodium is bad for you, they don't control for the fact that people get their sodium from shitty food.

This is not people eating whole natural foods who are also having a lot of sodium. I never never have any of us had a client. He come in, you assess their diet and they're eating fast food every day, once to three times a day every day. And we go, Hey, keep everything the same. But I want to pump your sodium. You're fine. No, nobody. The only people we end up doing for is when you get that person who used to eat like that,

you've now got them to eat all whole foods. Right. You eliminated all the processed foods and they're bought into that and they're seeing great results in the gym. But then you realize like, oh shit, I took them from a ton of sodium that they were getting in processed food. Super low. Super low.

Even if they're kind of lightly salted, even salting their food pretty well, they're getting nowhere near. And so that person I'm going, we need to supplement with sodium. We need to get that more. And you'll get better performance, better moms. Because you need a balance. You don't need to be like super low, like you need the electrolyte.

No, no, that's crazy to me. So the people were circulating, I'm like, don't you read like what's going on here? That's a terrible. No one reads past the headline, bro. No, I mean, what I would like to see is two healthy diets, whole natural food-based, controlled, higher sodium, lower sodium,

and then cross over and see what happens to them, and see what's, you know, and look at all things. I would just look at a few points on the, you know, blood pressure, but look at other markers, look at performance, look at perception, you know, perception, do you feel better, cognition? Like all those different, I would love to see this. Maybe, maybe element can get to a place

where they actually run something like this where you have two people that have groups where they're the same maintenance calories, 2,500 calories. They both eat whole foods. One of them, they lightly salt their food, they should have, and then one of them lightly salt and adds two packets of element per day

and see what happens to their performance, their health markers and everything. And I bet you the one that adds the salt in addition to all the salt that feels better. Yeah, element T, by the way, is one of our most repurchased brands. Our listeners will go over there by a product and then keep going back. That's because people are noticing good effects. I mean, I noticed great effects for me. And my performance boost, if it's something

that you're devoid of. But let me tell you, like I'll give you an example. If you took the average American's diet and said nothing else, all you said to them was, you gotta eat less than 1,000 milligrams of salt a day. And then they actually go and try and do this. Right. And they look at all the foods that they normally,

you know what's gonna happen? They would eliminate a bunch of food. They're gonna completely change their diet. Yes, it's not the same food. They're gonna crave it anymore. No, go to the grocery store right now, go through all the processed foods, pick out the stuff that's low sodium,

and you'll have one tenth of the product. And by the way, by the way, okay, that's not a awful strategy to help somebody get healthier initially, to get them to cut out processed foods. Like, so I could train her hack or trick, right? And I tell you, my client, they can't have anything. I'm just going to give them these parameters. And then you know, as a coach and trainer,

that they would be doing, so I get that. That's kind of like what we talk about with adding protein to that. Yeah. Right. I don't tell my client they can't have McDonald's, they can't have this, but if I tell them they have to hit their protein and take, I know what an evidence is going to happen. Right.

They're going to end up getting rid of some of that processed foods. So, from that perspective, it's understandable. But you also have to finish educating around that, like what we just did. It's not like I tell my client, just add protein, then I don't tell them what we did. Like, you know, what I did to you by having you do that, is we've eliminated these foods, and that's why.

Yeah, I heavily processed foods are like 80% of the problem when it comes to the dietary issues that we're struggling with. And the main reason is they're irresistible. Yeah. You overeat with them. And if you look at the studies on sugar, you know, certain kinds of fats that people would say are bad for you, whatever. When your calories are low, you erase a lot of those negative issues. In fact, there's professors and scientists who I personally think are morons, but they like to prove that point. What do they do? A professor would be like, I'm going to lose 30 pounds on a McDonald's only diet.

And I'm going to show you improvements in all my blood markers. And he does. Now, why? He's eating 1200 calories, right? He's eating a cheeseburger and a... Yes, it's a calorie control. Yeah, yeah. So. Now, why is he eating 1200 calories, right? He's eating a cheeseburger and a... Yes, a calorie control. Yeah, yeah. So, my point with that is these foods make you overeat and that's where a lot of the problems come from.

So, just avoiding those foods alone makes it like a million times easier. Who's got the notes on the process food versus those impacts? I got it. What's that on? Oh, yeah. I'll pull it up just now. Right.

That's not kids go there. They were getting mad, right? Because it was like, their profit margins or certain of seeds eating into it, right? When it was like, their profit margins are certain of see it's eating into it, right? When people aren't like snacking as much and like going for these like processed food products. Well, Sal predicted that like about a month ago. I did.

Yeah, you came out and he said, oh, watch what happens if we start to, so that's why I'm asking. Yeah, so this is like a something new. This is how powerful the peptide, some of glutite is, the brain named ozempic, right? It's so effective in terms of, like making people eat less,

that these companies are taking notice. So Nestle, Nestle is a huge company, right, they own lots of different products and foods and stuff. And this is Forbes. Nestle is developing products to accompany drugs like ozempic. Amid fears, they will eat into sales.

So they're actually interesting. Here's our strategy. This is interesting. Nestle CEO, can't beat him, join him. That's right. That's a great, that's great. You got to give him credit. What do you want to do?

Yeah, fear it out. Hey, that's pretty out. Listen to what it says. I didn't predict that coming to you. No, listen to what it says. Nestle CEO, Mark Schneider, said in an earnings briefing that the company is working on a number of health aides Targeted towards the growing number of people using drugs like

Ozempic and we go to smart who's the CEO who's it? Mark Schneider give that guy some credit Yeah, dude, that was his call. That was that's and here and check this out. This is so now. This is so Brilliant, okay, with people eating less and this is what I would do, if I was a CEO of this company, which I wouldn't be because it's, you know, shit food or whatever, but let's say I was, right? This is what I would do. I would look at this and go, okay,

how can we change directions or move so that we don't get crushed? Pro, let's put small-packaged foods for less calories and do things like, no, he's even smarter than that. Okay, let me hear. Listen, we did. With people eating less, this is actually brilliant. This guy deserves an award.

Schneider said there's an opening for products like supplements to support weight loss and ensure people get the vitamins and minerals and other nutrients they need, but may no longer be getting from food, including, so this is some examples. Some companion products could also help limit the loss of lean muscle mass

Mmm. Oh wow and ensure lost weight is not regained so they're literally gonna attach themselves Yeah, yeah to this and the fact that people lose muscle because I did not see that coming brilliant I did not see that come I mean so if the listeners I didn't hear you say that's why CEO's That prediction that you're the thing that you said which I agreed 100 with, is that here, this is like new big pharma versus big food, right? Like those are two behemoths in King Kong and government. And so, and this whole thing is going to oppose each other. And so when normally they're on the same page, right, you can get them fatter and sicker,

we'll give them the medicine on the back and you can get in fact. And so, this is the first time they conflict and so we thought what we were gonna see was a bunch of propaganda On both sides of oh this is awful for you. Oh, this is great for you And you'd see that but instead you see them kind of Joining for proper what big food would want from big format would be a pill that made you lose weight wait and you ate a whole bunch of Fuck yeah from big pharma would be a pill that made you lose weight and you ate a whole bunch of food. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck yeah. You know, you want now.

Yeah, that's also what consumers were on, right? But this one makes you eat less. So they're like, oh, shit. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Wow. I know. I'm impressed.

I know. I wonder how it's going to work out, right? I can see the angle now, right? Because some of Glutide, I mean, it kills your appetite, you eat less. If you don't keep your protein high and you don't strength train like any diet, you cut your calories, you're going to lose muscle. Which by the way, this is the best argument against it. That's right. The best argument that I've heard from the fitness space that like is not pro is like, listen, people are taking

this and they're finding that they're losing as much. Of course. Which is, yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Any diet, you take someone and you put a thousand calorie diet, they're going to lose muscle too. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 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 who knows, right? What potential long-term, whatever. It's probably okay. It's gonna be risks. Yeah, always. It's always, it's probably okay, but yeah, it's interesting. It's really interesting because that's the direction

I would go, right? I would go that, because they're like, oh, well, we gotta keep your muscle. Here's some cool muscle. We put a crate in our smaller packed container. So now what will be even more interesting is it do other companies follow suit with Nestle? Or does Nestle separate themselves

from being the first ones to be like, you know what, let's instead of, we can't be doing it, we're gonna join them. And then the other food companies and big things. Well, is it, Jack had just sent me this infographic. It was like 10 companies that own like food companies that own like all the major food companies. Nestle is one of them. Yeah, Nestle is like,

of course, I mean, I would assume that they're all kind of like connected and talking to each other. Or there's a hand full or somewhat competitive. That's what I mean. Like maybe Nestle decides, this is the route we're going to go. And then maybe somebody else does the other direction, which is the profit you know, this tells me on the outside, on the outside, interesting companies are looking to pivot, because that's cost them a lot of money to do that.

That means they see it already. That means that it's having an impact. Already. This is the first time. What do markets right now are really interesting? Okay, you were talking about reverse market crash. All that does is sounds like economic growth. Yeah, if it's really a reverse.

If it's the reverse, the reverse. So the reason why it's causing us to be a negative thing. It is. That's why it's considered a reverse. If it's the reverse, it was the reverse. So the reason why it's causing me a negative thing. It is. That's why it's considered a reverse market crash. And it's similar to like what a hyper inflation would kind of look like. And that was what's happening is in what they put it. So we saw like if you were to look at today right now

versus last year, homes, cars, things like that, other assets, you would see there has been a dip. But it was so, so high that even the dip is still putting us in there, but it is now starting to level out and even climb in some areas, even with bad interest rates. And then you also have that we're still not enough homes. And what the Fed has came out and said recently where they said they are not going to touch rates any higher, that's kind of scary because if they hold right now and the market is not,

because the idea is that they keep raising rates and then it'll intentionally drop it. Well, we cause a minor recession. That's what they want to see. To have a more healthy economy, that's kind of what we all want, whether we think we believe that or not, but it's not happening.

And what I'm fearful of is that here we are coming into an election year coming up and we're holding steady on interest rates and the actual housing market is still actually slightly climbing or even staying still, not dipping and driving. And then they go and like let's say, Q1 of next year go, let's drop it at half a point.

Yeah, because of motivation with an election year as we can. And. What will that do? That will drive all the investors, all the people that have the assets that have the cash to rush back in the market again, swap up, swap up, which will then drive assets even further. And so this reverse market crash, they say it's already started

and it's just destroying the middle class. Well, what did the WEF say? You will know nothing and be happy. I mean, it looks like they're moving that. I mean, for the first time, like we've talked about this over the last few years, right? We've kind of gone black and forth of what we think is gonna happen, what's not.

I think I've jumped on both sides of, oh, Crash, no Crash. Now I really am starting to believe that this is the most likely outcome is that. We, and I've mentioned this a couple of times already, right? That I'm starting to believe that this is the most likely outcome is that we and I've mentioned this a couple times already, right, that I'm starting to think that we are just in an unprecedented time right now and we'll 30 years from now talk about this period of time of when, you know, the average person could still afford a home and then that just got out of reach for the majority.

It looks like we're moving that direction. Meanwhile, there are things that are happening that like the car market, which more likely resembles the bubble that we had in the house of our mayor. What I told you guys, what they did in the car market this year, how it was related to like the O8. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So that happened. And the same thing happened where there was tons of people buying and flipping cars. So there was a big hustle to buy, especially like a luxury car that was high in demand because of all the chip issues and they couldn't do it. So there was a huge subset of people

where buying cars, okay, brand new, they would get them, not put any miles on them, sit on them for three to six months, flip them himself for 23 to 30. Because in the other car, they run out. That became a legit and you are now seeing, and it's a dead giveaway when you see it, because you'll see a car,

that's a year, year and a half old, 500 miles on it. Like they're all flooding into the market. I've been sitting, Doug, these videos are crazy, because I know you're seeing it. What are the dealer ships? All the crazy hombs videos, I sent you in just last two days. I bought four.

Yeah, wow. We did see a lot of the breakdown of all these vehicles. Would you say Justin? Oh, what if the dealerships done to sort of address this Yeah, they're reducing so for the first time you can walk into a dealership now and get for sure whatever you want at MSRP and somewhere even Disco oh wow, so it's a good time to get a car. Yeah, that's why I said to Doug Because I know Doug is kind of in the market right now, and I said like listen You're gonna get an opportunity to make a good offer on something that you want. Is this gonna be your cool card though? You're gonna get that one, the card that you want.

Oh, that's the thought. I'm a cool card. Let's do it. All right. If I can push on them. 93 Miata? Yeah. It's convertible amazing.

It's convertible. Those were amazing. Those were great. Yeah. You never met a manly guy driving one. I actually just met a dude who told me that him and his son like race him Oh, that would be fun. Yeah, there's there's actually a category that four of ours a valet all right, okay Oh, yeah, and so you guys know what's the one the Villamintavo or no, it's the Mount Winery

Yeah, right right so you do concerts there and everything right and that's where you were valet Yeah, I was there I was there one year and then I was also, I did at the film in Tava as well. But it was just kind of comical because I didn't even know who was playing that night, but it was Miata after Miata after Miata. And then it was like, you know, and it was a lot of ladies,

a lot of ladies, a lot of ladies, a lot of like short haired ladies, a lot of ladies. And then I'm like, okay, what's that? And it was like, it wasn't Lilith Fair, but it was like, you know, it was like Melissa Estra, ethyrid your song.

Oh, I'm like, oh, but it was, literally the whole parking lot was like, Miata, so I'm like, apparently this is a thing, you know, in this meeting. Yeah, it's the Miata Fest. You must have driven some amazing cars in, right? I have, yeah. Like, okay. I mean, one of my favorite, that's why I out of it. You must have you've driven some amazing cars in right? I have yeah, like okay. I mean one my favorite that's why I was always Tony guys like I love like Porsche 911's because you drove one like it like this all the stuff you don't tell people right?

It's like your fears like leaving your car with like like some young like me And there was like this fire road hairpin turn on Vilavo, where we would test every car to be able to see, you know, they can handle that sort of, you know, hairpin turn, and like some of them would fish tail, some of them would like just, just handle it and you were like gold. So, yeah, so of all the car videos and car analysis that I sent to Doug, so if you ever, if you love a 911,

this is gonna be the year to buy one, if you've ever won one. Because of all the car markets, that was inflated the most. It was the turbo 911. That's one of my favorite. Yeah, the GTRS, right? That car, because they still produce a decent amount of them, when you compare them to like Ferrari and Lamborghini,

they produce, and that car, you could get 170 to 200 turbo. Yeah, yeah, early, like just pre-COVID, but they were going for three, $400,000. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Obviously, you can add all the bells and whistles, and they can easily get up to 250 or whatever like that, but yeah, no, in fact, I met a guy that had bought it for 176 right before COVID hit, but those inflated like well over 150 MSRP. And if you look right now on car gurus or whatever, you know, auto trader or whatever, there's tons of them. And they're like low mile 500 miles. You know that I can put on my car. There's a valley function and it'll record the inside and outside of the car So when you drop your car off at me, I'll be like

I wonder how you're not on cuz you know stuff happens you see that in like movies and stuff like that course Prove I'll read well, okay. Yeah, I was yeah, but that's an instant fire though, right? Bro, I was like 19 years old bro. You imagine me a 19 year old Here's my 9-11 go park this. You're not going to be like, ooh, I'm just going to hit it. I mean, it's a pain. I mean, it wasn't like in every time thing. It was like, oh my god. With a certain cars, you're like, yeah, the expensive ones, maybe that's the shitty cars. Yeah, and we need to take it on the freeway or nothing or like outside the venue. It was just like in there, in there. And we had like this one definitive road that were like I'd be nervous being a valet. I would too. I see I would be nervous about driving

Car like that worked with like one or two people that like crashed some cars It was bad like really oh, yeah, and it was and it wasn't like they got any kind of top speed or anything It was they were just backing it in and underneath it was at the opera house in Las Gues And it was like the underneath parking structure and there's all these like big cement pylons and they just, wham and this is the first day this one poor girl, she was working with us and it was her first day and like she got into somebody.

She was about there. Mercedes, yeah this is like, don't say the sexist on her. I'm not gonna say that. I just don't know what the he was talking about. I wasn't, he was talking to say that, I can't believe it. I was just back to him. I'm not gonna say that. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him.

I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him.

I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him.

I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was just talking to him. I was smash, yeah. So it was like both, but that was, that was our very first day. It was like, oh, we can't, that would be awful. Now, I imagine like in order to even have a valet service, like you've got to be insured for stuff like that. You just got to be like a, doesn't matter.

I know, still know the hassle. Smash your car, you fix it all you want. No. Do I ever tell you guys what happened? It's like, when I first got the Camaro, right? So this is like, what, almost 15 years ago, right? I was so excited, right? There's a big deal for me to get that car

and everything like that. And I hadn't driven it more than 10 miles out the radius of my house, never parked it anywhere and stuff. And my uncle, who works for the company, was just like, you gotta bring it over. He lived in Pleasanton, 20, 30 minutes away. All right, cool, I'll drive it over. So I drive over to come see him.

Oh, we're all checking the car out, stuff like that. And I park it. Now, this, they live in this really beautiful, nice neighborhood. So really nice neighborhood, huge wide streets. We used to play roller hockey in there with that. And so I park it on the street and I come in and I'm hanging out with them all day, and I'm having dinner with them.

We're at dinner and my niece is getting ready to go to a friend's house. The girl comes, the lady comes to the house, knocks on the door, my niece gets in, and we leave and stuff like that. And it's like two minutes later, the doorbell rings again. And she's like, is that your guys' car? No, your heart, bro. She literally backed out of the driveway. This thing, it was on the other side part and just because it was black and it was dark.

You didn't tell me this? Yeah, dude, she just freaked. Oh! Right into my whole front fender, dude. Oh! And I just, I mean, I had it for me. You just bought it. I had just bought it, dude.

It's just, by the way, people don't know, it's a 68 Super Sport. This is a very classic. Yeah, the thing is the rain has never even hit the paint job on that thing before. And so it's like, what'd you do? What'd you do? You walk out and just like,

Oh, bro, I was so devastated. I cried, I literally cried. I cried. Of course you fucking, to be admitted, I cried, okay? That was like, because you know why, because I wasn't such a hit.

It's my uncle's, you know, daughter's friend, you know, you could tell she felt really bad, you know what I'm saying? It was an accident and it's like, so the emotions that I had, it was so angry or so frustrated. You had to let it out somehow. Always to be, and we react. But so that the emotions that I had it was so angry or so frustrated

Yeah, yeah I'm trying with this massive dead on the way home crying Yeah, I'm sorry Especially at like that point in my life too because that was that was a big accomplishment a big deal for me Yeah, I meant more than just the car. Yeah, yeah. So it had a lot wrapped into it. It wasn't just like, because if someone hit my car, that would be pissed, you know what I'm saying?

But I wouldn't be like, it's not the end of the world. I told you guys, Katrina's car just got keyed. Yeah, it's really bad. Like, you know, I'm pissed. But there's sentimental, it was a milestone for you. Yeah, yeah.

Have you named your car by the way? Your name, the Camaro? Oh, I have. You're laughing because you have. I have. Everybody has. My mom does that to everything. Yeah, yeah. Well,'re laughing because you have. Everybody's having. My mom does that to everything. Well, you always have a lot of it's weird.

I don't think I'd name it. I don't think I, you know, I probably went through a phase when I thought about it. I did. Well, what I'm trying to think about is if I ever named any of my other cars. I don't think I ever, as obsessed as I can be about the vehicles and so I thought, I don't think I ever knew.

I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,

I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,

I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, His guitar I do that name my guitars are all your guitar named yeah, what's the black one? So that's Veronica and what's the that's Betty Yeah, those are good names. Wait, hold on. That's the comic book. Yeah, that's what's that called Archie Archie Yeah, cool. And what's the ones at home? So then I have Jessica which was before I let you okay, I was like what? I guess it's a Katrina I'm gonna get off real quick like this is good we are doing

he goes home with my acoustic he's got this cover really really comfortable really fast Doug, if you name your stuff do you name your swords? I have not do you name anything? Well, sorry. I have not actually named my sword. And do you ever name your car?

No. I never, I never, I never. People that are car enthusiasts often will name their, I know both, though, for sure. Let's actually, you put, you actually put a name on it. Yeah, yeah, that's like really common. Right, yeah. But wasn't there, wasn't there, what country was it? They putting out a new military ship and they had this big contest for the public. And said whoever whatever Name gets the most boats. Yeah, that was in Scotland. Yeah, boating bo I think there's something about having like the boat name so you can differentiate it from,

because there's so many boats that look a lot like white, all these white boats, some more models. And so having the actual name across it really differentiates. It's not like a car where you have rims and different paint lights, so many different paint colorways. Like it's like pretty standard, right? I don't know. What was that?

There was a horror movie from Stephen King with a car head of name. And it was like a Oh, it was like classic It was like a it was like a hot rod. I'm dude. You know that one traumatized shit. I don't even know the exact Do you guys know some here? Okay, I'm I'm going through Elon Musk's biography right now. Oh, it's really good cool Christine that movie Scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I don't know if I seen that one. It just, it's a car that's possessed by demons.

Oh, I definitely, I'm scared of this. And it kills people and stuff. So, do you know that Elon Musk's story in his super car? No. What do you mean his super car? So, like, Elon Musk, after he sold his very first company, he got like, I wanna say 25 million at once. And he's like, like early 20s or what like that.

This was his first big deal. And up to that point, like, I mean, the guy was sleeping at work, like, like early 20s or what I like that. This was his first big deal. And up to that point, like, I mean, the guy was like sleeping at work, like he didn't have anything more to us. And so he went and bought himself out of a million dollar McLaren. That was like his first big purchase. And he fucking wrecked it with Peter Till, like straight rolled the motherfucker.

Wow. Yes. So the story goes with him in it. Yes. Peter Till was in the car with him when they're and he looked at me say what can this thing do? And he told you don't like about you long sounds like I didn't even know the lungs like a he's a billionaire He can find a picture of the car. He's a billionaire bro You know I'm saying like I feel like I hung out with him, you know what I mean like to hear these stories like I Could see us doing stupid shit like that, you know, I mean we're you know, oh shit

I don't know if I was in my toys You can do any power slide this yeah, yeah, no we're see if you can find the Oh, is that it destroyed right there look at it. Oh He just rolled it Yeah, they they they fucked it up. Hey that that South Park episode did a great little bit on the billionaires How they're like fighting over the moon. That's it right there, huh? Yeah, I think so.

Look at how bad that is though. Yeah, that's crazy. Oh wow. I mean, he'd die. Yeah, him and Peter Teal. Why would we could have lost two of their great minds, huh? And one fell swoop. I can't believe I had never heard that story before.

I thought that was really interesting. Yeah, you ever see a picture of, you know, you know, they used to be balding when he was younger right and I was got a lot of hair so I guess he put some plugs. Yeah, he did the thing to the hair plug. Yeah, somebody was just talking about someone else that just that just did that that was on a documentary though. Oh the um Beckham. He's got hair plugs. Oh, you think? Or when I'm like, oh that's I mean people that don't have fallen in forever like, oh didn't you see what he obviously had hair? Have you seen what people look like after they get that done? Well, I mean he's a great example. He has great hair No, no, I mean like right after oh no, so I know people I'm not gonna say too much

But they went to Mexico because it was cheaper It was good though. It was legit. What's like the freckle tattoo like I Was like oh they do a pretty good job, right? I guess you can't really tell, but dude, the next day bro, his head looked like, he looked like a legit mushroom. Like, legit, oh yeah bro, it's a nasty procedure. I mean, it's crazy, some of these things, right? That we do, I think when girls get their lips done, the next day is crazy, dude.

You got to hide for like, good 40 hours. You got to be dung by a whole hive of ease. What happened by the way? It used to be white hair and bald was cool for guys. Remember that? People used to do that on purpose to their hair. Bald? Bald too. No. Yes. Bald's never been cool. Bro, in yes, it showed wisdom. I mean that sends Vendee, Vendee Soul and Bruce Willis made bald. Yeah. Other than that, it's never been cool. You can look way back as I shaved my head like

all through my teens and then all the way up. Yeah, and then now it's like I never been cool. You can look way back as I shaved my head, like all through my teens and then all the way up. Yeah, and then now it's like, I never cared about, but I told you guys, when I first started sharing my whole hair thing and then shaving my head like the amount of, but I get, I still as day get DMs about that. Like when I first started talking about it, it was a big, I was surprised on how many people,

I mean, it makes sense now, like how big is that market, Doug? What's the hair loss market? It's got billions. Is it billions? I'm sure, yeah. It's got to be huge, too. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense now like how big is that market Doug? What's the hair loss market? Oh Is it billions I'm sure yeah, it's gonna be huge. Yeah, if guys only knew though like if you spend that much time Interrogate just getting jacked and making money you'd be you're up. No, you're right. Yeah, you're right I mean money and or being a better person self like you self-improvement you gotta go the good route. Yes You got to go the good route. Yes, that's what I said I can't jack money You get dollars

Yeah, I was like be a good man. Yeah, you're good person. All right You work on that speaking of money. Did you hear about the war? I'm gonna pull this up between open AI and Google That's happening right now. Oh No, oh, I got to pull this up so open AI is over which ones gonna cause the well No, think about I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I've trained myself to use open AI to answer a lot of my Google questions because it's way more accurate. And then I don't have to.

And then I don't have to go through a bunch of websites to search the material. So next time you guys are thinking about just Google searching something, use that. Use that. And you'll get the answer versus having to find an article and then having to read the article or read three of them decide That's the better article. I don't trust the machines Remember this with the machine up. I'm assuming that that's what that's what the

The argument is or what the well so okay. It's been nice to Siri Right on purpose. Okay, so Right now these artificial intelligence researchers are super high demand because AI technology is like exploding, okay? And every company is trying to get the best people for this, but they're super high demand and they're low supply. There's not a lot of them. There's not a lot of them, right?

So, they're very, very high demand. So check this out. Open AI is in battle with Google to lead the tech industry's artificial intelligence efforts. They're going after the senior, what do they call them? Senior artificial intelligence researchers? You know how much they're offering them?

To bring them over a million dollars, I bet. I bet it over a million. Five to 10 million dollars. Yeah, yeah. Well, remember when, I thought it was you who brought this up about the, or somebody who we interviewed brought this up about the, the difference between like a super engineer versus like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so like, that's one, one excellent engineer will do more than that.

You'll save money if you've, right. So it's worth to pay a guy or a girl for a million dollars a year. Well, that's a super engineer because they'll do the work of like 10 or 100. Well for something like this, like if you want to, you want to, like you're in this battle because whoever owns is going to be crazy. It was, it was a crazy number like that. So they're fighting over a few people and they're rich, right? Open AI and Google obviously have a lot of money.

Yeah. So you got very wealthy companies, a high demand for what you do and you're not, and you're one of the few people that does it, you're gonna make a lot of money. Doug, I might need you to look this up, because it's, there's this like offshore kind of boat that is storing all of these units for basically being able to deploy like AI units and everything, and it's like government funded,

and it's like, it basically has like cloaking device and camouflage itself, like it's all to be able to prepare so we have like this offshore way of like deploying these things. Well, wait, why would we need to... No, I mean to fight like bad AI with good AI. Yeah, basically. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh. So it's like an emergency.

Some kind of emergency step that they just signed off on that It's like it has it have to pull it up so I can get some more of the gut cells in there. It's a government run like AI center, you know, like almost like it's like what would you call this like storage for for all of like a training services and all that like that they have clouds? Yeah, the cloud. It's like it's basically that, but for like AI. Wow. Interesting. Wow. I was like, what are we going to use this for?

It's going to get weird. I don't know if that's literally sky net or if it's like really trying to help. It is going to get real. I know that we are joking in the day about the South Park episode. But there's a lot of truth to that possibility. I mean, the way the AI is getting as far as what it can create,

and it's just here too, it's just getting. You know what it's getting? Well, a lot of people are just missing it because it's just like chat. Like it's social right now. Like they're just basically scouring the internet for all the data points and everything. And it's based off of what we already know.

But once it turns the corner and starts doing things and learning on its own, it's a whole different thing. The problem, the challenge is that people are, they're convinced that their problems go away if they had all the money in food or products that they could get. And if they didn't have to work to get it. Because that's the promise, right?

The promise is a Few people will own this power this power provide everything for everybody. There's no jobs That's okay because we're gonna give you guys you know you be I money or whatever and so people like well That's gonna be a great life and that's psychological I think it is so naive to think that you heard me on the multiple times talk about like for some That's gonna mess with people like we think think we for some reason, we have positioned it in our society that to have privilege, to have all the money, to have all the options and what that is,

such a better place to be. Like we've positioned it that way. And I think in our lifetime, we will see, we will get to a place where most everybody can have everything for sure all their needs met and some and I think we will have more depression, we'll have more suicide, we'll have more anxiety, more addiction, more addiction, we'll have more of all this bad shit that we, it's that's not the answer. We are, we are literally wired to be challenged and to do things that

have deep meaning. And if we don't have those things, we're a big trouble. It reminds me of the advice you got from Arthur Brooks about, you know, instead of just giving money to a homeless person. Homeless person, thank you. Yeah, we're gonna see. I know, I always get a sick. I've better, I paused. I paused for the assist.

I paused for the assist. Come on, guy. Gonna give you some credit for that. Oh well. Speaking of bombs, like, you guys see that, you know, so it's shooting ping and all these we mats are over here, right? Because Gavin Newsom cleaned everything miraculously.

Well, I guess like a foreign reporting group, like that were there kind of. Oh, I saw this. Yes. They got robbed. They got robbed. Yeah. I knew we should laugh. I knew something from I forgot where it might have been one of the Netherlands.

It might be one of the Eastern, I don't know, but anyway, they showed up to do like media report. They got held up and basically had to give them all of their like recording equipment. We're here to we're here to report on the safety of San Francisco. What do you want? Oh, here you have my camera. Wow. Wow. Dude, it's such a shit. Right. Finishing that thought with the homeless person, that's the

reason why Arthur Brooks would say to you that, you know, to ask them to press ask for them to do something for it, right to give them purpose. To somebody who doesn't obviously have that in their life right now and they're suffering, and then like, You know, I've done that a few times, I've done that a few times where I'll give them

some money and then I'll say, Hey, could you pray for my son or could you pray for my daughter or whatever? And the look on their face is always, I mean, it tells you a lot. And they're like very much like, Oh, yes, I could do that for you. I bet you have no idea what the trickle effect that is too. I bet, I mean, it tells you a lot. And they're like very much like, oh, yes, I could do that for you.

I bet you have no idea what the trickle effect that is too. I bet, I mean, who knows what ends up happening that person after or something like that to give them hope that? Oh, I can provide something for something. Something of value. That's right. Yeah, and I just think that, boy,

we think that we want all these answers. It's just like too, like, and we have so many examples and stories of this where somebody does a New York Times best seller seller gets a win fall of money wins the lottery and they're more depressed or celebrity celebrities they get all the stuff they want and then they're more they're worse off than what they were before like there's something to be said about that there's something to be said about actually

the fact that you can't get everything that you have to work towards these things and that journey towards that well Well, so, you know, there's spiritual truth that you'll see that spans across religions. So, whether you're Christian, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, you know, Sikh, whatever, that the major world religions, you'll oftentimes see messages that are the similar or the same across all of them. And what the religious leaders would say is that that's spiritual truth. So although we may disagree on who God is and some of the other details, the fact that we all agree that this thing here is important shows that we've all identified like some serious spiritual truth.

Well, one of those things is the message of detachment, or in Christianity they're called the be attitudes, right? Where, if you're not careful, you will worship earthly things, you will worship money, power, honor, or pleasure. And those, because you're trying to fill a spiritual hole, and this is what all these religions would say in one way or another, because you're trying to fill a spiritual hole and this is what all these religions would say in one way or another Because you're trying to fill a spiritual hole with something that is not

In their case what they would say is God that you will be frustrated and you'll want need more because it's not working and you create these addictive Patterns and anxiety and depression around those things. Yeah So and by the way take it back to fitness, so this doesn't sound like I'm else then leading a cult or something. Bring it back to fitness, what we say all the time that we learned is,

if you fall in love with and worship the results of your workouts, of looking good, of getting strong, of burning body fat, or whatever. If you fall in love with that, it will be very hard for you to maintain a healthy relationship with exercise for the rest of your life. You you fall in love with that, it will be very hard for you to maintain a healthy relationship with exercise for the rest of your life. You cannot fall in love with the results.

You have to fall in love with the process. You recognize it's good, but also too, you have to include all the other goods. So all the other things that are necessary to take you through that journey and that process. That's crazy how much it parallels what we're talking about in real life. 100%.

So here you are, you're in this new world, where they give you everything. There's no, you don't have any challenge. There's really no meaning in what you're doing. And now you get everything you want, you're gonna figure out real heart, real quick that, oh shit, this is not what I thought. I heard out in the hell,

if I can articulate this well, but like Jonathan Pejia was talking about, like Adam and Eve and like how, you know, the fruit, like where we're grabbing the apple of knowledge, right? And really it wasn't the fact that God wasn't going to give them the fruit, it was the fact that they went to grab it for themselves. So like now I'm creating, this is my higher good. And so I'm basically worshiping this, and this is where all of the problems and sin kind of arose. Wow, that's good stuff. All right, you guys want to hear something that I thought was an urban basically worshiping this and this is where like all of the problems and sin kind of arose. Wow.

That's good stuff. Alright, you guys want to hear something that I thought was an urban legend, but turned out to be true. Have you guys ever heard this urban legend? That if you're in a pool with a drain, you know, the drain sucks water. Yeah. That if you like, careful, don't put your butt up to it because it could suck out your insides.

Or somebody did that. There was a story. There was a story. It was some kid was in a pool. I heard this long time ago. You guys apparently didn't. Put his ass on one of those drains. I heard the opposite.

Hey, this really sounds like your mom came out and you fucking around with the drain. I thought she was the one who did the drain. Is she tells you the story? It's really what she better get your ass off of it. Put messing with the drain hole. Put your pants back on. Never mind.

Listen. I just read, listen. I read this story, Sal. I wouldn't be here, dude, if I did that. Because it actually is true. It's happened to somebody. You'll suck your butt all out. It sucked their freaking, their, like intestines and colonel.

Oh, yeah, dude. That's real. Yes, yes. I mean, it makes sense. Physics wise, I mean, that amount of pressure pulling out of the, the, the, the, the, the, that amount of pressure pulling out of the weight volume of that water, pulling out of a tiny little hole that it's like, and then the suction that creates. Oh, man.

Where did you read those moments? Where did you read about them? Well, you ever read something that disturbs you so much, like, any share this with the audience? Thank you, Sal. So we feel the same. Sorry, everybody. I just, everybody listed the black test.

That's like when I brought up botflies on here and I just never seen all the comments like, oh, you ruined my whole community. Yeah, we just ruined everybody's community. Yeah, we're supposed to do an organic fight for the community. It would be so mad. It's great.

I was lost like, yeah, the audience. I want to hear you say the, the, the, all you remaining. What's the flavor? Pumpkin spa. Oh, you said it. No, I don't. You tried to set me up.

You said on purpose now. I do make fun of my list. Like I do. You're gonna say with an end. It's. You see the, it's, it's, Plunkin Sound Scooter. No, they got the pump.

Lackstick pump. No, no, not maybe feel bad. They got pumpkin spice. They're gold juice. You know, yes, they, you know, it's cool. What they do, I actually didn't know this. I was on their website, like checking up to see what new products they have.

They actually have a section that you can search supplements based off a goal. So I said dog, a screenshot of like all, there's quite a few different categories. So you're like a muscle gain fat loss. Yes, yeah. And then it categorizes all the supplements that support. Oh, look at that.

Yeah, see, it's recovery,izes all the supplements that support like that. Yeah. Yeah. See that recovery mood stress weight management metabolism. Look at woman's wellness energy performance, brain health clarity. That's smart. Isn't that cool? What if what if every category had all the stuff? Yeah. Strange. That would be all there. That would be a dirty. That would be a dirty act. It's in all the categories. If you sell one supplement, click on the category. Oh, no, that's cool. Look at that.

And they have stacks. And they stack and bundle some of them. So I thought that was pretty neat. Oh, yeah. Good stuff. They do a good job. Where does Sheila Jeep fit in all that? Huh?

Sheila Jeep would be the wellness. Do they have a vitality section, Doug? Scroll back again? What would you do to the category? Energy and performance. Or mood and stress. Maybe. Most. Moody and stress. Maybe.

Most mood and stress. Moody stress. Moody stress would be a good guess. Let's see. They may not have it up yet. Oh, it might not be up yet. They sold them out. I saw it on the front when you first logged in.

Wow. Cool. Hey, did we talk about it? I didn't know they have essential magnesium. Yeah, they do. I didn't know that. They have a lot of products. We don't talk about like half their products.

Absolutely. We speak like five. It's so bad. Well, it's because we only talk about what we use. I know, I would actually, I would have that. Even though I take my magnesium through mellow, I do, there are times where I wish I had a pill form. Oh, I see.

Yeah, there are times when like I forget and then I I'm trying to like I just heard me talk about shutting my water off Yeah, like if I keep drinking too late I get up in the bathroom And so the one thing I don't like about that is if I forgot to take my mellow a little bit earlier than I'm like right before bed I'm drinking a whole thing of water and that doesn't obviously help is that I know you see you have a small bladder Is that a real thing that some people have a small bladder? Or is that just what you, I know you do pee a lot,

but you always been this way, by the way. It's actually, you know, it runs in the family, right? I know, that's what I was asking you. Yeah, I wonder if that's a real thing. If you, I don't know if there's a direct correlation to like a small bladder, you know, that's what I say. That's, I have no idea if like my, I mean, it could be, it sounds like that could be a thing.

For sure. Yeah, because if you develop this as you got older, then I'd be like, well, you probably should get it. Right, now I know it's genetic, like I mean, it could be, it sounds like that could be a thing for sure. Yeah. Because if you develop this as you got older, then I'd be like, well, you probably should get it. Right. Now, I know it's genetic. Like I said, because literally me, my uncle, my two cousins, like we all are exactly the same. The funniest thing too when we all go to a restaurant together, like no one's ever sitting on the table. There's always one guy up and guy. Yeah. It's the funniest thing you've ever seen. Like if my uncle two cut, what is it? I'm, I'm atomically, it's highly unlikely anyone has a small bladder. Yeah, see, I don't know. So you know what it might be?

You might not produce enough of these hormone that makes you aldastaron. Is that it? Doug, look it up. That makes you withhold fluid when you sleep. Your body will release it. And then for some people, they might not produce it. And so they have to get up and pee. Is it aldastaron?

Yeah, you got it. Oh my god. Why can't I remember any kind of my way? No, no, no. Why does my wife tell me to do something? And I forget right away. But then I remember that. So maybe you're on here. So a hormone, your adrenal glands release

that helps regulate blood pressure by managing the levels of sodium and potassium in your blood. I don't know if that has anything to do with urine. So. Yes, it does. I had someone to make you pee. So I don't know if that has anything to do with urine. So. Yes, it does. I had someone make a pee. So I had someone tell me that if I add salt to the water, it should help me not have

any go pee as much too. It should. So I haven't been good enough. I wonder what, I don't know how. So like your last glass of water? I would do it all the time. I know with the mellow though, I wonder if that would taste good. Maybe if I did the flavorless, I'd just take it.

Oh, I know. You're like, you know, I don't know if it's a taste good. But I mean, I didn't even know that're like, you know, I like the taste. I mean, I didn't even know that organify those pills. I would have both because I prefer Mallow, but if there's Ben times where I'm like, damn it, I don't want to drink all of it. And they go well together. Sodium magnesium go well together.

Okay. Yeah, they both help each other out. So that would be good. And speaking of salt, have you ever heard of Halo therapy? No, but I heard you talking about it. Yeah. So what this has to do with salt mines? Yeah, when you go and I'll pull it up.

So I've heard about this before because who was it? Who is our president, World War II? He had polio. Roosevelt. Thank you. He would go to these, he was super into exercise. He was trying to cure himself through fitness and nutrition. And you would go to these wellness places

that existed back then, which kind of cool. And a lot of them would have you go in these salt mines to breathe in the air that's in them. And it's actually legit. So is that okay, so now on the woo woo side of things? That whole category of people have those salt lamps and lights in all the time. So that's probably where the benefit is probably less of you with the aura and

spirits and ions that are going on. And more sense of ions. It was tough. Neutrons. You know, magical. All the cool stuff. No, it says here. So when you breathe in the air that's got tiny salt particles it tends to help people with lung problems like asthma, bronchitis and coughs. It also can help people feel relaxed

so it has an effect on people like that and helps with skin conditions and allergies. So is this all in the same category too as somebody who does salt baths? Oh, that's a good question. I mean, you're not bringing it breathing in, but I know that that has a different effect on the body. But isn't that interesting? So it came from, in the 12th century, the practice of visiting salt caves for therapeutic reasons was common in Eastern Europe. So it was the most as part of that,

because I know like being in sun, right, in dry areas was, I guess, like, something that people that were suffering from that kind of, like, found their way towards. Oh, I don't know about that. Okay. Yeah, I had no idea. Oh, there is a wet salt therapy. It involves bathing in salty water containing minerals and then gargling with...

Did you see the study on gargling with salt water and COVID? Did you guys see this that just came out? No. But I've had Google somebody, saltwater, gargled COVID study. I know. I heard that actually the whole like rinse, like sinus rinse and then also with the mouth rinse.

Significantly we had it. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense because that's real like you would inhale. Do you remember people saying that and getting kicked off social media and told that there were, this is the annoying, you're information bullshit actually

going on every video reduced infection and then reduce the severity when people did have it new study garland assault water may help prevent covid hospitalization they were telling you not to imagine that that came out could you imagine if that just that art that was that title man yeah that's what's frustrating man and that's where it's like, oh, we

want to have like, it's the government frustrated. The people are still looking up to it. Oh, that's the part. I feel bad, dude. I can't, I can't, I feel bad for them. I can't, like, it cannot help somebody who still is like, like, actually believes that we just now figured this out. I know. Yeah. There wasn wasn't already people talking about all this stuff. And we needed all that time to flesh out all the stuff. So now it makes sense that it's like, dude, you guys are a mess. Jesus.

Just missing all valid treatments. You know, that we're like everywhere else in the world. You know, the reason we're here. I saw a couple of articles that are happening because holiday season's coming up. And it's like, literally, there's articles. And now I hope nobody's taking these seriously, but it's they say things like Things giving's coming up should you wear a mask or how to get your family that won't wear a mask to put one on when they come visit You during the Christmas holiday or something like that. Come on, dude. I mean it's popped up

I mean it's I know already that there's definitely More cases recently because I can see already with the the behaviors around people Of course. I've seen more mass in the last like couple weeks I had seen and probably the last three months before that. So obviously it's fine. We know who we're working with Yeah, right who's our shout out for today. Do we got one? Are we where how about the trainer things? Oh, yeah, let's keep talking about here about this I'll give you this. I'll give you a real shout out and then still plug the trainer thing Elon's book from like

It's just his biography the author is give it to you right now It's the newest one so one with his his big old head on the front of it It's sound about it. I mean like that Walter Walter Isaacson. So it's just, it's little Elon Musk, that's the name of it. And it's the author is Walter Isaacson. He grew up kind of rough too, right?

Yeah, a lot of fights. I mean, his dad eventually had a decent amount of money, but they grew up in a rough area. And it had kind of an unconventional way of like raising him. Like I remember, he got his ass kicked one time at school, and his dad was like, yeah, you deserve that, you call the kid stupid. So, I mean, it's a pretty interesting. Like, a lot of things I didn't know.

I mean, I shared one of the stories already I didn't know about him going through it. So awesome, it's good. And the other thing is that, you know, I'm doing a three part train the trainer series that you can sign up for. It's free. It'll be virtual and it'll be live. You go to mindpumptrainer.com, register. And it's happening. When is it January 15th? It's the first day, right? Correct. The next two days after that. So it's 15, 16, 17.

Use the good mind pump, Get 20% off your order. All right, back to the show. First question. The Ben Melton, are your programs designed to have the same weight throughout all sets or do you adjust it so it says heavy as possible for each set in that rep range? I'm glad someone, one of you picked this.

I hate to pick that one. I didn't realize that we needed to do a trust question. Convers this until we got a couple people on live callers that were mentioning that they're like, yeah, I'm not getting any stronger. I'm doing the same way through a program like, oh, you're a lot stronger.

No, no, no, no, no. The goal is to stay within the rep range that we provide you with the intensity that we tell you to work with. So for most of our programs, you're going to try to stop your sets about two reps short of failure. So whatever weight with perfect form that you could do, that will allow you to hit that rep range that we have in the phase that is within that intensity. That's it. So if if you do a hundred, don't limit yourself. Right.

So if it says, you know, if it says 10 to 12 wraps and you pick a hundred pounds and you get to 15, well then you gotta have to add weight. Or if you put a hundred pounds, you get down, you only get to eight, well then you have to make it a little lighter. And keep in mind that this also can fluctuate based off of your week, like let's say,

you know, last week you did 10 reps of 185 on squats, but you had a rough week, a lot of stress, didn't get enough calories in, didn't get good sleep, and then you come in the gym and you put that 185 on and you can't get more than eight reps. It doesn't mean that you stick to that 1805's, just cause, and this is by the way, this is why we why in our programs,

we don't have like, do 20% of your max rep and we have these formulas that are precisely should choose this weight because you need to learn to adjust your weights based off of you feel. And we try and teach people how to feel what two reps should a failure should feel like, and then you need to learn to adjust the weight equipment. We do have, and I know like most of the programs and we should have it up if not, like there's a downloadable

way to be able to actually track it right down the weights that you used for each one of these exercises, and it would be a valid practice to go through that just to kind of see where you're at, instead of just going with what's comfortable right away, like you can't, you set an intention on, I'm going to try and challenge myself and go five pounds more, a little 10 pounds more this time, and then you know, press the see where you end up with that, and then once you kind of like see how that all works, you start being able to feel the way your body is going to respond before you get to there, or like, you know, your stress levels, all that kind of stuff as you factor in That's gonna help you adjust the weights more accurately But I will say this if you actually can go through maps and a ball

Like and keep the same weight that you did in face one Refs each and do and then yeah, then hit the reps that we say in face two You're getting much stronger and that would be goes from one to five to sixty eight to twenty No, that would be impressive really impressive So you're if you did that by accident, because you just thought you were supposed to, that's a huge win. Most people, by the time they get to phase two,

they have to reduce the weight of, say, 20 to 30% and then when they get to phase three, they have to reduce the weight another 20 to 30%. That's pretty normal and that's really good still. So if you're at all able to maintain the same weight as you increase reps, you are getting significantly stronger. So when you're in a friend trick, you put kilograms on. Yeah, yeah.

There you go. Wow. I do a lot more. Next question is from Graceful Telekinesis. What do you think about doing only concentric exercises for a month or two? What kinds of results, either negative or positive, would come from only doing this for a month or two, what kinds of results, either negative or positive, would come from only doing this for our phase? Okay, so concentric is referring to the part of the rep where you're lifting the way.

E-centric would be when you lower it, and then isometric means it's steady, you're just holding it. So, the question is, what if I just did the lift part, right? What if I didn't do the controlled lowering part, and I just lifted the way? Well, what would happen is a lot less muscle damage, much faster recovery, and you would probably... A lot of lifting basically. Yeah, and you would need to adjust your programming accordingly,

because the eccentric sends a loud muscle building signal, but also causes the most damage. So if you're only doing positive or concentric reps, you're probably gonna have to bump the volume and the frequency to equal the same kind of, I guess, stimulus. Now, that being said, just working on the concentric can make you explosive. It's got some athletic potential. I think for a month or two, it's totally fine. I don't think anybody should always train in one type of contraction. But I think for a month of doing this, you'll probably learn how to be quite explosive would be my job.

Yeah, I mean I think the positives is I think I mean this is what makes training fun and interesting is to play with variables like this like hey, I'm gonna go all concentric training for a month or two and see what kind of benefits I get from it. Staying like that for a long period time not good, the studies all show that the centric portion of the exercise does the most damage, builds the most muscle. So if you're looking for hypertrophy, it would be not in your best interest to probably do that for a long period of time. So I wouldn't neglect that. That's really the only negatives that I see from it,

but as far as like you messing with this for a little bit, I think you're accelerating potential, right? And that snap that a lot of athletes are trying to get, you know, being in that focus of just the concentric portion of each exercise of movement, very valid, you know, very much of a method that I've used before with athletes. But yeah, you also have to then realize that like the eccentric part, that's, you know, you have to be able to decelerate,

too, no, we gotta bring under control. So, you know, that's one component. It's great to hyper focus on that, but, you know, there's a shelf to that. Yeah, totally. I mean, a sled would be good for something like this, not just for lower body, but you could also do sled,

as well as, sled presses. Is this way to do it? Yeah, it would be a for something like this. Not just for lower body, but you could also do sled. Pulse, sled presses. Is this weighted yet? Yeah, that would be a really easy way. And Olympic lifts obviously are, or like a medicine ball too. Yep. Good way to do. Next question is from folio castle.

How can I increase healthy fat intake without adding too many calories to my diet? Well, if you add healthy fats, you're gonna add calories. But if you switch out the fats at eating for better fats or healthier fats, switch it from carbs, then you're, or yeah, or cut the calories out from carbohydrates, then you're doing great.

So some people, a lot of people benefit from, especially people who are listening, right? Typical listener likes to eat a lot of protein, whole food diet, might eat a lot of red meat. You know, switching out some of that red meat for fatty fish, oftentimes has some inflammatory benefits for some people. I, you know, whenever I've had a client

who I've assessed their diet and they're under consuming fat, I've never had to take the calories from somewhere else and then give it to them in fat. I've always been able to bump the healthy fat and the body actually positively responds. So if their goal was to- That could now be healthy.

Exactly. So I don't know enough about this to for sure be about what I'm saying. But more often, if you think that you're under eating healthy fats cause either we told you, a nutritionist told you or someone you've piece it together and figured out, oh wow, I'm under eating fats. And you're concerned about going over your calories by adding healthy fats in the diet. I wouldn't be, to be honest.

I would actually see. I think it was more satiated. Well, it's not just natural. It's natural. You're, you're, you're, you're, you're not, if you're, if you're not getting enough healthy fat, and I've seen this many times with, like, small, thin female clients of mine

that we're eating 25 grams, 30 grams of fat all day, and we're not seeing any, we're not getting any leaner, we're not getting any stronger, they're, like, they don't feel good, and all I do is go like, I want an avocado in there and some salmon or like some steak in there, and I, and I don't care that our calories went up three, 400 calories. They get leaner.

They get stronger. You can do it right away. Yeah. Here's the comparison, right? You have a, because fats are essential. Okay. So you have to consume fats. Otherwise your body literally fails to thrive.

And in extreme cases, you'll die, right? So you're not eating enough fat. That means your hormone profile is not where it should be. It means your metabolic system is dysfunctional. It literally means that you're putting yourself in a position where you're not going to be able to adapt to exercise as well, to food intake as well. Your body's probably in a stress state, so it'll probably want to hold on to body fat, probably will slow down your metabolism. Right, so now you increase your calories by increasing fat, but now you're getting the adequate fat

that you need, yesterday more calories, but now because you're healthy, metabolic rate changes, hormones change, and things work better. So you don't gain weight from the extra calories. If anything, you get a little... That's been my experience. Again, we don't, we don't know everything for this person,

but I normally would do that first before I'm trying to take away from something else because I'm worried that taking them from 2200 calories to 2500 or say 1600 calories to 18 or 1900 calories, because that's not gonna get you fat overnight, by the way. Literally bumping your healthy fats a little bit in your diet

because you're under eating them. The extra 300 to 400 calories is not gonna make you fat. And definitely not gonna make you fat overnight. And most often than not, I want to see what just doing that does for the bot. Next question is from Eck Betts, sauna versus walking. sauna gets my heart rate higher in 20 minutes

than a 20 minute walk. You could smoke crystal meth here. Heart rate goes into two. It's the same. Yeah, the heart rate going up or down. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't matter. So, okay, the question, I guess,

I think the question they're asking is really like a calorie burn. Is there a health, like what are the health differences maybe? Because they both got different health. They're both good for you, but walking's gonna give you more physical adaptations, more stamina, more strength, digestion, and there's all kinds of excess of benefits to walking.

I got a hack. I have to hack pairs and walking circles in the sauna. Yeah. Yeah. I have a hack. Well, I mean, in place, look, they've called sauna. Some people have said that sauna sends a almost low-level exercise signal to the body. Yeah, yeah. And that's, and that exercise mimicking signals.

Yeah, yeah, and that's, that's true, but you're not, you're not going to get from the sauna, what you get from exercise. Well, and a lot of that is the amount of calories that your body has to use to try and regulate your temperature, right? I mean, you increase your core temperature significantly. That sends the signal to the body like, oh shit, we're overheating. So the body's going to do what it needs to do to cool down. That takes energy to do that. So that's where they get that. Oh, this is like simulating a workout.

Or... There's a heat shock proteins that are produced as a vasodilation that happens and strengthening the heart through the process. It's really good for the vast system. Yeah, the vast system, the vast system. Yeah, sauna use seems to have really, really interesting effects.

In a perfect world though, this wouldn't be an either or for me. This would be both. Yeah, both. I mean, if you, let's say you've dedicated 20 minutes every day that you've disciplined yourself to always walk and you also have access to a sauna, I mean, three to four of those days,

I'm gonna walk and then two to three days, maybe I'm gonna get in the sauna. Like, I mean, why not alternate those? If you only have that time and you could do either or, then I think there's value in doing both of them. Yeah, by the way, have you guys ever tried this for a really sore muscle? You put really, really hot water

on it, and then you go really cold water, and you alternate back and forth. You guys ever tried this? It works. So we were talking about the sauna, you know, vasodilating, opening blood vessels, cold does the opposite of constricts. So, you're pumping out. You're pumping out. You're pumping out.

Yeah, and you're pumping out waste projects. Yeah. It'd be interesting to see that with a fun study. I don't know if there's a study of blood. Yeah, you're and you're pumping out ways. Yeah, it'd be interesting to see that what would a fun. I don't know if there's a study on it. Well, it would be a fun study would be to compare that to somebody who's like doing like body weight exercise or mobility through because you're going to get the same. That's got to be a way.
