If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go. Mite, op, mite, op with your hosts. Salda Stefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. Did you watch the Super Bowl? Did you watch it? The what? The Super Bowl. That's what they did. Is that the... What is that? It's the one that occurs like multiple times a year, right? Yeah, but they have like five a year.

Did you watch it? No, man, I'm in Thailand. You know what they had on the fucking TV in Thailand? I bet they we had football go. I'm in the Thai boxing. No, it's the Super Bowl, bro. Everybody has a Super Bowl. No, they had soccer. They had soccer, the world sport.

They didn't have American football. Thank you for calling it soccer. Huh? This is over there, they probably say it's football. In Thailand? Yeah. No, it's, I don't know what it's called over there. You know what they say a lot in Thailand?

Sao Adi Cup, Sao Adi Cup, Sao Adi Cup. What does that mean? Sao Adi Cup, Sao Adi Cup. That's exactly what I thought. Cause I was trying to remember. So what they do when they're gonna help you or they say like you get a, like a waiter or waitress, they put their hands together in this little prayer,

like thing. And they come down, like big smile, very nice, very friendly. And they go, Sao Adi Cup, that's what the women say. And the men say Sao Adi Cup. I think they put a P at the end. What's that's what the women say in the men say saladie cup I think they put a p at the end. What's the difference between them two? They both mean the same thing but man says one woman says another one and I'm not quite sure what it means If it's like thank you or I'm here to hell or you know whatever like this courteous thing But I kept forgetting what they were saying and then I remembered it by saying sour de cup

Yeah sour de cups sour de cups and so then when I would say it to people, I'd put my hands together and say, oh, exactly. I put my hands together and I'd say it like that. I go sourd cups and go for it with loser shit. And they were so happy that I tried to say their word. Yeah, you know what I mean? You just battle out.

You're way through that. Little did they mention it. I'm saying something inappropriate. Well, most countries actually appreciate that? You just battle out your way through that. Little did they mention it. I'm saying something inappropriate. Well, most countries actually appreciate that. You try that, right? Like some places they won't even talk to you unless you try and speak their language. They'll act like they don't.

I get embarrassed when people try to do that shit. In Paris, that's how they can... Ooh, long. When I was in Paris, they were like that where you're almost. It's just as like, I only speak American. Fuck you guys. American. I speak American. I. Fuck you guys. I speak American. I speak American.

Just like let it go. America. I'm from America. Four. Why doesn't nobody speak American with his favorite. Chevy tricks. Yeah.

You know what blew my mind with time? My English friend who's from England. That's why I speak English. I just want to specify. Imagine that. He blew my fucking mind one time, dude. Blue my mind with the most obvious shit of all time. We were hanging out, and I'm like, God damn, bro,

I love your fucking accent. And he looks at me and he goes, Oi, he goes, you got the fucking accent. And I'm like, oh yeah. Cause they're the ones that fucking invented that shit. We have an accent, they don't. Oh well, I think when I'm blind blown oh yeah. Cause they're the ones that fucking invented that shit. We have an accent. They don't. Oh well, I think when I'm in the Blown, they sound proper.

We sound like an example. We sound a ghetto. Yeah. We've just taken that language and we've muddled it all up and throw slang terms. And this generation's getting worse. Like now everything is a fucking acronym or like short. Stupid.

Oh, I know, right? Somebody sent me a message other day. It's cause a text message. Yes, exactly. They sent me a text message. And I said, And the idea of all these short little acronyms is to make it,

it's to where you have the text less and it's faster. But I spend more time trying to decode the fucking thing. Yeah. I'm like, BRT, what is, what does this mean? Like, be right. I don't get this yeah yeah

I'm like Google what the fuck is smh yeah that took me a lot yeah I took me a while to get that one to I'm like Google searching all the acronym you guys if you guys ever need to know anything about like pop culture or like what's in yeah just ask me what me oh you're that guy yeah I know I know all your sons as you can't I'm like the fads I know all that shit right. I can hang out with kids. You're dabbing. I hang out with kids and I'm cool You know, we started this stupid shit They're just doing dabbing kids are like the teens. They don't even get it. Hey, Sally's so cool

He's so cool man. He buys us alcohol. Yeah, no, that's not what I do I just kidding. It would always be cool if you do that. Yeah, no, that's not what I do. I just kidding. It'd always be cool if you did. No, it's yeah, languages. And we get fucked because if you have an English accent and you're a man or a woman, you are instantly hotter in America, instantly hotter. It makes you sexier. I'm not saying it makes you sexy. You can still look like shit.

I think other countries think that about us. No, nobody likes American accent. Dude, I wasn't in a club really. Nobody likes American look like shit. I think other countries think that about us. No, nobody likes me. Dude, I wasn't in a club really. Nobody likes me in England. Yeah, no, I don't know about that. Because I was in England in Ireland and we went into a couple clubs and there was like, they call this thing, they call it like snogging. I don't know.

So they make out and shit. Yeah, but they make out. So this girl, and they come up to me and be like, you know, you know snog and they like, they're like, where are you from? They thought I was from either Australia or America. And I'm just like, I don't know, why, you know, why is this, like, it was weird where they would kept coming up to me

and they thought I was exotic, you know what I mean? I'm like, Justin, you're just, it just chicks like you do are very exotic. You could exotic, you could have walked in. You're like a rare animal. You could have walked in there with an Indian accent. And all of them there would have fucking loved you. I don't know why I said Indian.

That probably because that's the least it's, yeah, that's probably the least attractive. It just doesn't sound super racist. No, it's not. It's not actually, it just, there's, it's, it's, I'm just speaking, exactly. I'm speaking on us now. There's certain accents that people are,

consider attractive. And there's other accents that people don't consider. Yeah, like if I came in there with a Russian accent, I don't think I'd get a lot of... You're right, Russian accent. But a Russian accent, you sound like a badass. Like if a white dude came up to you and he kind of dressed a little bit like a preppy looking, but then he starts speaking with Russian accent, then all of a sudden he's like, I don't want to fuck with this dude, he might...

Yes, true. He's kind of a tough... The edge there. You know what I'm saying? He might be tough, you might. He's kind of a tough, the edge there. You know what I'm saying? He might be tough. He's like, you're a leather jacket. It does, it creates that illusion. You know what I'm saying?

Like in a tie and accent, my, I don't cry. It might work and to get women, but it's not gonna really work in a fight situation. You know what I mean? No, a tie and accent, you sound like a pussy when you're speaking with an Italian accent to people. I did a gikily

I click this fucking guy I'm a bit as fast right now I think it works with the ladies It works with the ladies, yeah, with the ladies it works Cause we're lovers, you know what I mean? We're lovers not fighters I'm thinking of sopranos and I'm thinking they sound pretty tough in there That's not an Italian accent, dumbass, that's a fucking East Coast accent

No, there's a lot of Italian. Have you seen some rados before? Hey, that guy's a tie-in over there. Have you seen some rados? Are you seeing some rados? Are you asking so? There's that like half the fucking guys in there are towel. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that sounds pretty fucking tough when they're there.

Although it's not just Italian. It is Italian and like the Brooklyn thing kind of like combined. So maybe that's what gives it to a But English accent definitely makes people more attractive. We're like Australian accent or you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I think we think that yeah, that's what I think I think it's just because it's different for us I think I bet you if we were in Australia they would say the same thing You think they like probably get annoyed with English guys accent listen if you're from if you're an awesome California if you're an Aussie or you're you're a key we are you're from the UK

Let us know what you think. Go to our Instagram page. No, let us know. He's an American accent. He's an asset. He's an asset. It's Kermit Hot. I hate my son for accents.

I'm not asking that. It's not about me, because we know the answer to that. Yes. The, but he's an American accent. Yes. Considered attractive at all. I mean, it's spikoli. Does that sound eloquent to you?

I'm over this over this lifting way thing These guys are really into it. I'm just like nah We gotta think of a backup plan if we ever decide that right? I know cuz you know I remember when I was a kid that they should we're talking about bro

We're in the perfect business wrong podcast if we want to if we want to watch you watching me right now Fat is fuck we could never do any video. Dave Asprey get caught doing some shit like that where he used like Photoshop Yeah, I was just Photoshopped is we'll just Photoshopped the fuck out of all of us You know what though? He had a fat on the dude You know what though considering we might try to get on his podcast We should probably not say anything like Good job Adam. Yeah, that's another podcasting bridges. There's another podcast you fuck this Adam come on That's a hard question. I think number two or three very few podcasters. I think listen to other podcasters

There's a handful of like podcasts and not listen to besides like it's already hard enough for me to stay up on our own Episodes to critique the shit that we do yeah, cuz that's how I listen right now right like I go through an episode I'm like okay, we just did it's not listen to us. I haven't I haven't listened us in a long time But if there is an episode I listen to us, but when you guys talk, I fast forward. I just listen to me. I get it. I'm like, wow, this show's awesome. This guy is still, hey, an hour episode is still

like 45 minutes long. No, I'm just kidding. So, so, so, just and talk about your commute. Oh, it's horrible. Why is it so fucked? Well, because every axis point to get to my house is blocked. I mean, there's landslides all over the place. There's road that literally has been washed away.

All this rain, I mean, it's greatest this rain has been. It is seriously like just demolished all roadways and access like outlets for me to even like maneuver and get out of my house. Is it just me or is California just consistently proving to be a massive pussy? Yeah, with everything like we get rain like other states get fucking weather You know, I'm saying we have like oh my god at rain for five days in a row Washers away a freeway. It's just like the perfect storm. You know, it's like why are we so stupid? I don't know.

And then they couldn't like dig all this dirt away because it's blocking like all these lanes and all stuff because they have this accident in these calutrients. These poor people like they died because, because like this dump truck like backs up and runs these poor workers over. And they're like, oh my god, that's fuck up. And so now they have to have this whole investigation,

you know, to retrace like all that stuff and make sure that it wasn't intentional. Katrina told me they're doing the bid on that. It's like a $30 million job for them. Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy. You know, he's gonna get it. Some fucking cronious person connected

to the state government. Well, it's a massive problem. JJ Albany's will probably get it. There's like so many people that go through, that's like one of the main arteries for just like anywhere along the coast, like just to get into the silicon. And then we got that one damn.

What's that one damn that's gonna fucking explode and they have to evacuate Orville? It already busts. Yeah, it's already already busts the bottom. Yeah, so I lived in, I didn't live at the time, but I was actually, I think I was running Colorado for a year. Dom Pedro, I grew up in Lake Dom Pedro, and that damn broke.

I was a grew up around there when that happened. That was great. When that water breaks like a dam, it'll wash concrete away like it's fucking, like it's dust. It just, it'll go through roads, like once that water and that comes through, it'll carve a fucking canyon for the next like two miles, dude, it's crazy what it does. The power of that water when it gets, when it breaks through like that is. And meanwhile, we're building a fucking high speed, quote, high speed railway, which is

actually slow down to fucking LA. And it's a fucking waste of money. We high speed railway, which is actually slow. Down to fucking LA and it's a fucking waste of money. We don't have the money to fix all this stuff. All I can think is, please save us weed. You know what I mean? We just passed weed. It's going to. We need that.

It's going to. I said that shit. We're not getting any help from the government now. It's like, they're not going to come in and help us with our roads. It's just like now. It's just they're not going to come in and help us with our roads. It's just like now after after after the whole after prohibition right. So alcohol what alcohol alcohol did after those times like watch what exactly we're going to help ourselves. People who say that drugs are not the answer stupid. Obviously the answer. It's funny. It's funny because it's going to come save us. It's funny because you have that

petition for California to exit to secede from the union. You guys see that? Uh-uh. They're all because Trump got elected right. So they're all pissed off. Oh, that's what you said. We're California to ex to secede from the union you guys see that uh-uh. They're all because Trump got elected right so they're all pissed off. Oh that's what you should do. Yeah like we're leaving we're gonna fucking sad is and then Texas do that with Obama. Texas is always trying to secede. Yeah. It's constantly.

But California then is like fuck it. We're leaving too. We're the biggest economy blah blah blah. Meanwhile and then and then fucking governor uh uh uh uh uh uh great Davis is like um excuse me sir can we have some fun federal funds please because our damn broke i'm like wow yeah that's nice

do you think do you actually think that marijuana is what's going to come in and say i believe so i i said it for a long time brown is it damn brown or who i thought i thought our governor was brown uh... no i think it's a white guy it's not great dude you're the politic guy bro you just throw a name so like I'm sorry. I thought it was Arnold Schwarzenegger Brown my bad. Great. David's the other one that's I did check you know Jerry Brown. You're right God just in paying attention over there. I didn't catch that Nobody knows but that's the other problem. No, he knows this guy. No, no, no, no, I knew I

Don't know who politics is fucking sports for nerds? I just mean you Arnold. That's all it is. It's 100% sports for nerds. It is no fucking different. It's the exact same thing. Except it affects your entire law. I know.

No, it really doesn't though, because the guys are getting in and out. It's just like, the people that are really making the decision is just like fucking the commissioner. You know what I'm saying? These guys aren't making the decisions. These in and out people like like just come on, bro. Hello, how's it going?

This is how laws get passed. Not one person comes into office and says, Hey, guess what? I'm changing everything. You know, it doesn't work. That's a good dictatorship. Yeah, that's right. So anyway, we're, yeah, we need to help ourselves.

So I'm saying, yeah, yeah. So we will do that. We will help my commute. Well, did you see it? Oh, many levels. Let's see if I'm doing levels. You know what, Justin? I hate to break this tube, but I'm gonna be illegal to smoke and drive.

Call a rotto. Call a rotto raised $1 billion in tax revenue. That's what I'm saying. Look at what they did. For me, $1 billion in tax revenue. And their snack market exploded. They sold a shit to us. A shit that I don't know.

Fruit loops are like flying off the shelves. Free the lay moved its headquarters. Do you guys remember when the little girl scout girl got in trouble for posting up her girl scout cookies in front of a medical marijuana? Can I tell you something? That was brilliant. Can I tell you something?

I think I want that girl's now. My daughter's just gotten to Girl Scouts, right? Okay. So she's selling cookies now. And that thought, the only reason why I won't do it is because- You know what your daughter on the news? Well, no, that little girl.

First of all, I think it would be a good fucking lesson. Like, I'm not bringing my girl into the frickin' marijuana plan, I'm not, I just not smoking a joint with us. We're gonna sit out, I'm a teacher, like this, hey honey, this is an opportunity. This is a great place. But my ex-wife would at that point probably murder me, so I won't yeah

Well, they hit me up at Pete's so I thought that was an a lesser, you know that that was a more accessible drug That everybody goes to get yeah, well, I'm buying I'm buying a bunch of girl scout cookies because that's what parents do when they do it I was just gonna you're not a big cookie. No, I can't well I love all of them. I wasn't gonna do I didn't give them to Justin because no I don't I can't be cooking either. No, I can't be. Well, I love cooking all of them. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give them to Justin because. No, I'm fucking burned. Dude, I can't have them in my house. They don't eat all of them at once. But that's what I'm saying.

You're at least we're gonna eat them. I don't know how to throw them away. I feel like they make them so you eat them at once. You give them this box so you can fit in your hand. They're saying they slide out. It's just like, they don't make them to have three. You don't even seem anymore. Like those peanut butter ones,

they used to be like, give you a good size. Like, there's like these tiny little thin, what a fucking waste. Oh, they changed them. Yeah, which ones your favorite Is that when you're my favorite the peanut butter one? Yeah, that the one with chocolate. Freeze the mint ones Those are good, too. Yeah, is this the chocolate right they got the chocolate around them? Yeah, chocolate with with peanut butter You know what I've found is I've gotten I've gotten old my favorite that used to be my favorite But now I like the plain ones now. I like like my tolerance for sweet has changed. You're old now, you're old. I know I like I a little I used to be like a candy whore.

I used to candy all the time. I was dude. I loved candy. I love being a penthouse. I was I was in. But now like and I ever sent that candy. Ever since I had to clean my diet up because as a kid and even as like a young adult You in my early 20 did you eat candy every day? I did for a long. I used to I I that are ice cream

It wasn't candy was ice cream every day pretty much Wow for years to my 20s, dude Oh my because you're 20 in my 20s So here's how I justified as a dumb trainer right when I first started was that I just couldn't get enough calories to keep my Size on it didn't matter. Yeah, to me it was I just couldn't get enough calories to keep my size on it. So it didn't matter. It didn't matter. Yeah, to me it was like I couldn't eat enough calories so slamming a 1500 calorie bin in Jerry's at the end of the day, I was justifying it because I was always in search of getting bigger.

I couldn't get bigger. It was always hard for me to put weight on. So you know, I would eat all my meals I'd eat and then on top of that I have candy or I'd have bin and Jerry's ice cream. Which I know there's a lot of motherfuckers that eat like this. For sure, I did that. As a trainer.

Wow. What was your candy, your favorite candy? Oh man, I mean, I probably my favorite candy, I used to, I mean, I've gone through phases, right? Hot tamales I used to love, sour kids, like, what's the purple white ones? I like the black licorice ones, those are really good. It has my canyx. My canyx, I love really good I'm not I'm not very good. You mentioned before I'm not a big chocolate guy

I'll say that so I would I never been a big chocolate guy. I like sour hot or you know cinnamon spicy that type of stuff But yeah that are ice cream and those two thing I mean those two things were a staple food in my diet for years. That's weird, I always hated candy, but I loved chocolate peanut butter combo. It's like this combo that's just like, ah, did you guys ever do that? Because this is what I did. Like this peanut butter?

Yes, I love. That's my favorite. I love peanut butter chocolate combo, but what I would do is I would buy just chocolate and then I'd put real peanut butter on it. Like I'd literally have a jar of peanut butter. I would do that too. Too much work.

It's too much work. Yeah, too much work. So you're just a lazy candidate. Yeah, it was awesome to pilip all that. That's how fast you could get in your mouth. You know, it was the deal. Yeah, no, for long, long time did I eat? Which I fucked, man.

Talk about all the issues that I deal with now with that are autoimmune and shit, I for sure, I'm sure I fucked myself up. Yeah, what's the worst can't? What do you guys think is the worst candy bar? You ever buy one and you just think yourself, like this is a fucking waste. Mounds. Mounds is kinda, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. That's a horrible one. So you say that, but now I like weird things like, like I didn't even like coconut. I love coconut now. But if you had to choose that between that and like other candy bars, you would use the amounts. Well, then I hated stuff like that.

Like, I'll enjoy mountains, those stuff. I used to think then, like, I told people can't eat. But now being older, those are the type of candy bars. If I were to eat something, I would want something with more nuts in it, with more coke and more things that were like more natural in it than actually just sugar and chocolate. Things that are really sweet now. Oh, you know what the worst?

I've set my stomach. You know the worst are like those caramel Anything that's like harder kind of caramel like whether Rips the enanimal off your teeth. You're like trying to eat it. Oh, that's like sour patch kids Oh, it's horrible. They're top of the rip top of your mouth. What about what about what are they called? Juju Not Juju Juju beans What about what about what are they called? Juigi, not Juvia. Juigi beans. Juigi beans.

Oh, those are the ones that we get stuck in your teeth. You eat one and you're working on it for the next 15 minutes. I hate that. I can't enjoy it. Do they still make those? Of course I do. No, the worst was I don't like Milky Way. Milky Way?

No, it's like chocolate. Chocolate. It's one of my favorite. There's nothing in there. It's like chocolate and fluffy chocolate. Oh, I don't know. I'm with... That's a girl bar. That's a girl bar. Oh, no, I'll I'm with girl shot. That's a girl bar

That's a girl bar. Oh, you're gonna call the girl bar. It is because you don't like no, that's not why Well, if you were to say all the girls I know love you were to say Milky Way and payday payday is like a manly bar Milky way right and baby roof is getting that and baby It is that's right. We do we like the nuts. Oh I'm enjoying the speaking of mounds don't speaking of nuts. I don't know speaking a nuts. I feel really sorry for Justin right now. Why? You may tell you what happened at him. Mm hmm. Well, you saw what happened. What do you mean? Sorry, I feel bad for you because you're in a bad position right now.

I was standing outside the studio here just my name I own business being a nice guy. Oh, yeah. And Justin like an asshole. He exposed my ass holeness. Gives me a backhand nut flick, right, right to the balls? I had to. And it just hit me perfectly. I hit the ground. And I respect it. It's funny. It's what we do. But, but guy code, right?

Everybody knows now. He's getting it back. At some point in your life. No, I know. I'm going to make you stress about it for at least a year too I've opened up a can Every time I walk by, what's gonna happen? Don't you feel like this is gonna move our relationship forward?

No, it's gonna escalate Come on, you're not the right guy to do this with Because I know I'm gonna get you back and then you're gonna get angry And it's gonna turn into, and then someone's gonna lose their building up for it You think so? I can take it, dude You don't think I can take it? We'll see. I'll wait to forget about it. I know.

It's gonna go too far. If you do that, then, you know, you should probably do it quickly, so I'm sorry. No, see, I do. Is it a horrible? It's probably get over with. Is it a horrible to stay defensive? Yeah, I don't want to, if I can do it.

You have no idea when it's gonna happen? Damn it. It'll happen. It'll happen. How hard was it for you to get a reactivated from flying back from Thailand? You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna eat your fries

I'll tussle with you. I'll get your tussle You said on the other podcast of another one. You know, we just ordered young man. You just ordered yourself a tussle Fucking die Order up It was the last of the just drop. Oh, I haven't heard it yet I'm not saying that. Order up. What episode was that? It was the last of the just drop. Oh, I haven't heard it yet. I haven't heard it yet.

Tussle. Someone told me that. Who was it? Who was it? Tussle. Tussle storm. You know why I use the word tussle and describing that altercation?

Because when you think of a tussle, you don't think of people punching each other. It's more like a grabbing each other kind of making a whirlwind. And that's what happened. It wasn't like a fun. No, it's probably a much better description of what happens with most fights.

Yeah, I mean, it's tussle, it's a tussle. I've seen a lot of fights. I've been in a handful myself. And they're never like, they don't ever look like what you, yeah, you don't, it's not like what you see on TV. Like two boxers going, I was like, oh shit, I just part of my hair. It's like, if you've ever seen, like, I had to actually,

one of the fights I got into, somebody actually videoed it. I remember watching it afterwards and going like, oh,'ve ever seen, like, I had to actually have one of the fights I got into, somebody actually videoed it. I remember watching it afterwards and going like, Oh, I'm the core thing. It's so embarrassing. Yeah. It's so embarrassing. It didn't feel like that.

Why did I, why did I hate it? I remember. I felt like a bad hammer, though. I was doing this, but I most certainly didn't look like it. Bro, I got to fight one time. As a guy, was that an adult? I might have been an adult. I might have been like 18 years old, which makes it even more more embarrassing because when you're a kid and you fight like an idiot

It's like okay, well as a kid right yeah, but I was I think I was an adult and Got in a fight with some guy. I don't even remember what happened. We're at a party and I had like dress shoes on Oh, and and you know how dress shoes are hard at the front and I threw a couple of fucking toe-pointed kicks at him Yeah, but like it's such a dumb move. Like, and it didn't look very manly. And he shined. He was, he was, he was, he was No, no, I look like a like a cheerleader high kick like yeah And then I followed it up with another one in his fucking shin go team and he's like I like rubbed his leg when you when you're younger you do stupid shit like pushing throwing your arms up a lot of talking as you get older

You think like I don't think I got three minutes of fighting You do like the final blow right away. Dude, there's no like- Bro, one of the- I mean- I'm still trying to perfect the lift of Shirt over their head and then punch him in the face. I'm trying to get the throat jack.

I love that. This is a throw. I'm always the guy, I don't know about you guys, but after the fight, it just, all the only thing I think about for the next two weeks is all the shit I should have done. I know. You know, fuck when his head was right there. I could have totally gouged his eye out.

I still really want to use a leg kick. Yeah, like I'm always thinking about- And you always think- Like my goal. You always think I'm fuck when his head was right there. I could have totally gouged as I am. I still really want to use a leg kick. Yeah, like I'm always thinking, and you always think of how bad ass you are until you're in that situation. And then there's like, like situations present yourself, like, oh fuck, here we are tussling. And his face is right there.

And I've actually had this thought to go through fish hook them. I, huh, I've had that thought. Like I've had the thought in my mind like, I could totally stick my finger inside his eyeball right now. Yeah. But I won't do it, not because I don't want to hurt the guy You're like I don't know if it's on that level yet. Well, it's not a success It's not even necessary because I don't want to hurt him because I do want to hurt him right

It's because I don't want the feeling of my finger poking his eyeball like you Yeah You yucky Like what do you do afterwards? I'm gonna eyeball on my my finger. Oh my god. Watch my head. Watch this. Did you have to break up a lot of fights today?

Okay. At the gym when you ran the gym, did you have any gym that you manage? Well, you know, you manage to have a basketball. Well, if you have a basketball. Yes, court always finds. Oh my god, always. And it's never the kids that fight. It's always a fucking 25 year old dude.

Oh yeah, for sure. That's a matter of fact. That's a matter of fact. If a basketball on somebody's face, like thrown, and then somebody with a broken nose or like bloody nose Oh, dude the best is the best is people come out and be like do you fight? Yeah, it's like go in there with all my trainers, right? So it's like this mob of dudes and we walk in there and they a lot of sometimes it's the fight would stop already

Yeah, and nobody wants nobody wants to get in trouble. So they're just kind of standing around. I don't know Yeah, I don't know what happened. I'm like, are you sure it wasn't you? Cause you got blood on your shirt. Yeah, it is your shirt. It's all like ripped off to your shoulder. I know it's not the 80s. That's not the style. Pretty sure someone ripped that shirt off. Yeah.

Mr. Johnson. Oh man. You know what I mean? I'm not gonna tell you why. It's all sweaty and like, yeah. What is basketball courts do that too, man? Basketball, most fights ever from that for you. Yeah, every time.

It's a physical contact. Yeah, like the swimming pool doesn't do that. You know why? Somebody some asshole you know what it is. It's laziness. It's lazy defense. It's it's win that old man Like he's trying to like keep up with you, but then he holds you and then he throws a fucking elbow at you So I have to I have to teach him a lesson Just defend yourself right now. I like. Yeah, I've gotten he's justifying all the fights he got to pick some guy up We were we were tussling over the ball, right? So we're like Yeah, you got no point where it's like no, I'm I fucking got the ball, you know, and we're in this like nobody There's no whistle because this is like, you know, this is one of those street ball game

And I was taught to go till the whistle. I was like fuck you. I'm taking the ball and the guy was still trying to rip it out of my hands and so I picked him up with the ball and then I threw him on his head with the ball. And then all of a sudden everybody got all like, oh my God, like what'd you do? Have you ever been in a fight where you feel bad right after you feel bad for the person afterwards? Has that ever happened every time?

I never feel good about that shit. You feel bad after that? I don't think I actually have to be honest with you. I think almost every time? I never feel good about that shit. You feel bad after that. I don't think I actually have to be honest with you. I think almost every time. Here's the asshole. No, that's not what I deserved it being. Almost every fight I can think of that I've ever gotten in. It was like, I was trying to avoid it at all cost.

It was like one of those situations where I didn't, I don't want to get in a fight. It was the times I've been in fights. That's true, because they're exhausting. Well, yeah, you mess up your shirt. I'm not that guy either. I'm just not, but. You look like a, you look, that's what it is, your target.

Well, you know, when you're tall and you walk into bars and clubs, immediately all the biggest dudes size you up, you can just feel it, you know, right away. So I'm always like already on the defense and like I come in like the cool guy and nice and say hi. And like, so I'm not that, I'm definitely not that not that guy but because of that I've been put in predicaments where it's just like this motherfucker just won't go away like he's obviously wants to test

himself on me and there's as much as I'm trying to avoid the situation. So then when I whip your ass and I'm like hey you had that come in bro you know like I didn't want to barat it I told you I didn't want to do that. And then this is what happened. No, there's one I will never forget. I actually remember his face and everything. I don't remember his name. If I remember his name, I would apologize right now on it. I feel so bad about this, but I went to school with, uh, I had, there was a cousin

that and we were always going to school together because we live close with each other. So same school district. And he's a year younger than me, right? Now the guy now nobody picks a fight with him now because he's fucking six foot two, probably 300 something pounds big dude, right? But when we were kids, he was a short fat kid. And it's just kind of a short, chubby kid.

So he get picked on. And some kid, I guess was picking on him at the basketball court. So after, you know, break was over, he comes up to me, my cousin is like, his face is all red. So I could tell you've been crying or something. Like, what happened, dude? And he says, I forgot the kid's name.

He's like, so and so. He took the basketball from me. And I tried to get it back and he threw it at me in my face. And, you know, he called me this name. And, you know, so I had to leave or whatever. So I'm like, oh, really? All right. I'm going to have a talk with that kid. So lunchtime comes around.

I find this kid. I walk up to him. like, did you throw a basketball on my cousin's face? He's like, no man, I'm sorry. Like, yeah, you did, you threw a basketball on my cousin's stand right behind me. Like, yeah, you did, you know? So I fucking hit him in his ribs.

I just give him a little, right, in the ribs, right? And I'd never, I'd never seen, like I never expected him to do something back so I could get into a you know full-on fight Hit him in the ribs and he he kind of bends down and he lets out this like And then he go and then I'm looking down like what happened it looks at and he's like and he goes I can't breathe I can't breathe and he like keeps doing it for like

Two minutes. Oh wow bro for like two minutes He's like I can't you break a rib or what I I felt horrible. I was like wow how over you 13 maybe I felt so bad like I was I look at him like oh man And so then while he's down while he's down there and he's like I can't breathe. I like started rubbing his back Yeah, I'm like I'm like this a man, I'm like, you'll be okay, bro, I just, you want some water? I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I just,

I just don't want you to like, like you shouldn't like pick people. I'm like, try to teach him a lesson, I'm like, you should do that. That reminds me exactly, I got in this fight. I felt so bad with this kid, like it was like sixth grade or something, it was some stupid, we were like throwing the ball

and playing football and like, you know, we just got in this little scuffle and it was just like, hey man, you know, like it started to get real and then he was trying to be all tough. And so it was all like in slow motion and he kind of threw a punch at me and I just leaned back and it totally missed. And then I was just like, looking at him, looking at my fist and then I just threw it right at his face, just button, right on the button, and just busted his nose up. And he just started crying immediately.

He was just like, ee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e- He's doing you can't do that finish fucking kick the ass man like yeah like he was like pulling me off and I was like no man I don't know I don't feel good about that. Yeah, you never want to listen to the crowd because the crowd the crowd wants death You just knocked a guy out he's on the ground like stop on him. Whoa calm down everybody man I'm in my point right now. I'm not trying to go to jail. I've been calm down Can you think of like one of the most scariest moments you've been in like that? Like where a fight was about to go down? Whether it be in a group or a situation where you were freaked out. I got cannot be good for us.

So I hung out in junior high. This is back when I thought I was a gangster. Yeah, you're around a bunch of gangsters. It was a junior high. I went to it's like you either were you weren't right. So we were hanging out and another school's kids showed up and it was gonna become like a rumble and kids are picking up sticks

and someone had a fucking chain. Next to you know, someone's like, eh, so and so what's going to do is car to get a gun. Like, he's got fucking like, and I'm like, is this really gonna go down? Like, I thought I was a bad Ask but I'm not prepared for this. I don't want to deal with this situation. How can I run away right now without this? I was actually terrified

Wow because it was like a real like you see this shit on TV and you're like oh that'd be cool man If I get a rumbo my friends we totally but they went in in real situation when people have weapons and shit You're like, I don't want to get hit with the chain I mean I don't want to deal with that situation. I think I want to leave now. I got to go. Rick killed the guy. Yeah.

What about you guys? It's an anchor man. I don't know if I told you guys this story or not, but when we were younger, my cousin, this was kind of like his MO. Like I used to run around with my cousin. He lived like a town across from me and he was a real popular kid in his town.

So we go to his parties in his town, we go to parties in my town. And we always had like this, like we knew when we were going to these house parties that if we weren't getting him laid, we were getting him fight. Like that was his thing was like, you know what I think,

I think he's a closer, I think he did that on purpose. So we'd help him out. And he wants my wing man. Well, not only that, but there was times where like, like, of course, you went to a party where you didn't really know a lot of people

and you were both like the hot girl and going after her and you know, if my cousin, I got her, my cousin didn't. It was like, I was getting pulled away from chasing the girl because I was now in a brawl at some party of people I don't know. So this was like always happening to us, was kids pleading with the girl,

like, do you have a sister? Oh, totally anybody. 100% no joke. If I was in a partner, that's exactly how it would go down. If I was in a party and I met a girl that I was hanging out with, I was always concerned about my cousin because I knew that my night would not be cool unless I made sure he was taking care of with a girl.

Otherwise, I'm gonna be in like mid-makeout or like talking to this chick and be running outside to go get into a brawl right that was just totally totally so that was like art we grew up like that well I got older I moved to the Bay area my cousin lived somewhere else and he came out to to visit me when we were in our 20s now I'm like 22 years old or something like that and we I take him out downtown San Jose for the first time. Now remember, we were like small town guys.

So in our small towns, we were the shit. We knew everybody, you know, worst that was, I think the worst thing ever happened was like a skateboard over my head or something like that. Like never had to worry about a gun or a knife, you know, getting stabbed. It was country, you know what I'm saying?

Like you had a problem with somebody, you duked it out, you got your ass kicked, you learned the code there. There was, there was like code there. Well, we had a code. So now it's fast forward, we're older, we're in the Bay area now, like it's just the melting pot of people, right? And I take them out downtown San Jose,

which I know you guys are familiar with. And this is in your 20s? Yeah, yeah, so this is the 90s. Yeah, or no, right after this is like not the best time. Yeah, early 2000s, you know downtown San Jose A lot of business people lots of lots of culture down there and we're we're we're down there and We're leaving the nightclub. It's 2 30 in the morning or what like that and we're both him and I are drunk and I've got two different Girls that I've got around my arms and they're and they're giving me all the attention and he's just kind of wasted walking

along on the outside of us. And as we're walking past people, he's like yelling racial slurs at every person that goes- He's just trying to start shit. Like he's like so drunk, he realizes that neither one of these girls are into him. We're in sabotage.

We're heading home, yeah. Huge cock blocker. Damn it. And we walk by these two guys and they're promoting their CD. Like, they have a little CD that they may, and they're trying to sell them for five or ten dollars. I can't remember. And they're talking about their standing out, you know, hitting up all these people, walking up in a nightclub, trying to promote their own CD, right?

And one guy looks like the guy from Green Mile and his partner is it much smaller than that. So these guys are fucking like 250, 300 plus pounds. Big ass, literally dudes wearing overalls. Big ass brother, right? And they're promoting their fucking racy. Never fight a guy at all, an overalls. Yes, right?

If you're two in the morning, you're wearing overalls, dude, like, and you're 200, 300 pounds, like, but this is the type of morning, you weren't overalls doing like, and you're two hundred, three hundred pounds. But this is the type of, my cousin, even when we were kids, we definitely were not afraid of anybody size, it didn't matter. But we're in a different era, different time,

different area, area, like, I keep to my own, like in the city and shit. You don't ever know what you're getting into. So my cousin, we walked past this guy. Meanwhile, like I said, he's talking shit to everybody and everyone's staring at us, we're walking down the sidewalk. And the guys are promoting their city, and he just grabs their city and just keeps walking.

Oh my God. Right? And the guy's like, hey, hey, and my cousin just keeps walking. He's like, hey, hey, hey, hey, they both come running up real quick and stand and stop us from walking. I'm like, dude, Juveness CD back. He's like, hey bro, that's 10 bucks or whatever it was.

And my cousin's like, look at it and he's like, and he's looking at the guy. And you're waiting for him. Oh, I'm just, I'm like, oh God, that's 10 bucks or whatever it was. And my cousin's like, looking at it and he's like, and he's looking at the guy. And you're waiting for him. Oh, I'm just, I'm like, oh God, this is not. Yeah, and my cousin looks at and he goes, why the fuck would I pay for this shit? Oh my God. And the guy was just, the guy was like,

hey bro, give me my CD back, dude. And my cousin's like, why? Why should I give you the ship? And I'm just like totally picking a fight with this guy. And I'm like, I'm looking at these guys and I'm like, and my cousin's tough. Like we've been in enough scuffles together, we've taken down some dudes,

and I'm going like, there's no way I'm getting out of this without some serious fucking serious injuries. Even if we somehow magically pull this off, my ass is getting a fucking whooping like along the way. Like these guys are just, I mean, people don't think size matters, but then there's sizes that do matter. You know what I'm saying?

Like size doesn't matter when you do about 10, 15 pounds, but when the guys got 40 pounds and overalls on you, you do a size matter. And I'm looking at this guy and I'm like, oh my God, this is not good. I'm like, Travis, give him his fucking CD back, dude. My cousin looks back at him. He's like, no, and the dude gets up and my dude

gets real close to my cousin's face and he goes, he goes, listen. He goes, I'm out here trying to promote my business. I'm cool with that. He says, if I wasn't, I'd wipe your ass up and down the street right now. My cousin looks at me for a second, it looks back to the dude and then he takes a step closer to the dude's face.

No. And he goes, what are you gonna do? The guy kind of looks over his shoulder and makes sure he's noways looking. Open hand fucking slaps my cousin across the face Open hand slaps him sends my cousin to the fucking ground, dude Yeah, and I'm like, oh shit Right and I know normal me if we were back in our small town like that's this that's the time I jump on the dude now

I'm whooping this dude like I jump on my cousin Jump on my cousin I headlocked my cousin. I started dragging him like we're out of here Sorry dude Like dude you about I was so angry We get back home and about him and I get into a fight afterwards. I was so mad I'm like dude we're in San Jose you had him. Yeah, I'm like, why don't you hit him bro? The whole time he's oh, I don't care. You know, oh, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, man, you don't know that dude's got a knife

and even I've said, even if you and I survived that one, and we actually somehow managed to pull a miracle out on that fight, there's a good chance that we get our asses jumped later on, you know, I'm saying or tomorrow, like you're just, we're not in our small town. No, I had, I had cycle, see this, I avoided a lot of fights because I was really good at

like hype. I was so good at hype. When puff your chest. No, no, not during see. When you do that during a situation it could backfire. But this actually no joke probably three times happened in high school where dude you know want to start some shit, want to to fight or whatever. And I'd say fine. And I always was like, I want to set up some distance, a buffer between now and the actual fight. So that my plan can work. I see. I'm giving it away now. It's just okay now, not in high school anymore.

So I'm like, you know, like if this is the morning, if this is the morning, be like, all right, you want to fight? No problem. After school, I don't want to get in trouble. Yeah. Just me and you, nobody jumps in, and we'll fucking fight. Okay, and we'll get it. And so I knew that alone sometimes intimidates people

because then they get to think about it, right? So that would happen. Now I had the entire school day to terrify him. And the way I would do it is my friends and other people would go up to him and talk to him about how bad I am. So they'd go up to me like, I knew he'd promote this. He'd be like, hey, listen, guy. Oh dude. No, no, no

I swear to God people would be like oh well. I heard you can fight sound like fuck I don't know if you want to do that like I he does judo and fucking do trains. It's all he does man I don't think you want to I saw I'm like fucking choke a guy out made him go to sleep and piss his pants and next thing You know, dude by the end of the school. They like now. I don't want to fight man I heard you like to I heard that's what you do or whatever victory Oh, it was. It was all psychological. It's actually really smart as a young kid. I think as an adult, as I got older,

I started to realize the calmer I spoke to somebody that wanted beef with me, the scarier I was and the less fights I had to get into. I was like, this light bulb went off around like mid 25 or so, I don't remember how old I was. Where I realized like, oh, you know what? If I actually just calm my emotions down, I don't let this motherfucker ride on me up

and I look him directly in the eyes and tell him, okay, this is probably gonna be a bad day for you if we keep doing it. But yeah, you just say something real calm and collective like that on the face. Yes. Calm and then angry. Now I would diffuse it always with humor.

That was like my go to, if the humor didn't work, I was like, I was like, like knock knock. Yeah, you know Your mom Wrong joke, I fucked your mom. It's funny. You know, it's very last that doesn't work Well, I feel like now I would be even better at it like I could totally lie You know what I mean like look listen. I'm here I'm off work right now, but I'm an off duty police officer, I'm actually legally carrying a firearm.

I don't think we should do this right now. They just lie, you know what I mean? Make up some shit and have the guy be like, oh, I'm so big a lab. Yeah, I owe my bad. I don't know. Listen, I killed somebody earlier this week already. It's been a rough week for me.

I'm not, I'm not trying to go back to jail. I'm really trying to do that. I just got out. I don't want to go back to jail. Yeah'm really trying to do that. I just got out. I don't want to go back to jail. Yeah, I tried some shit like that. It always works. Yeah. Actually it might work.

It might work. Oh, good. Anyway, so you were asking about training earlier. Yeah, I did. I asked what's going on with you guys' programs. Yeah. That's everybody doing all right. You want to know what's crazy?

So I have a theory. I've been wanting to share with you guys since I got back from Thailand. So you guys know how I was in Thailand. I got really, I got horrible food poisoning doing right? You wanna know what's crazy? So I have a theory. I've been wanna share with you guys since I got back from Thailand. So you guys know how I was in Thailand, I got really, I got horrible food poisoning, right? There are studies that have been done on people with autoimmune disorders where they give them a parasite or some kind of an infection.

And the autoimmune disease symptoms go away. This is true, no joke. Well, they'll give someone like a relatively benign parasite or you know, some kind of a bacterial infection and then for whatever reason it like either resets their their they don't know why. Resets their immune system or whatever to where it's no longer hypervigiline. Well, with that same thing with diseases like there's certain diseases where they'll introduce an opposing disease and somehow like the fuses it. I'm not quite sure if it works the same way, but with autoimmune diseases, this is something that's very interesting.

In fact, there's like hospitals and doctors in Mexico that actually offer this. Of course, it's not approved in the US at all. And I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do this on purpose, so I'm not advocating this, but, and I'm not advocating what happened to me either, but the weird thing is

Since I had that food poisoning where I you know, I think I reset everything coming back I feel like anything and my stomach doesn't Well, first of all, isn't wouldn't if it's benign wouldn't that mean it wouldn't do anything right what wouldn't is not a definition of it Well, not totally benign, but I don't think I mean what they do with these studies They'll give someone like a parasite. Yeah. And what I mean by benign is the parasite itself doesn't pose a major danger. Okay, yeah.

So, but I would think it has something to do with just cleaning out everything. Cause when you have food poisoning, you literally vomit and shit. So out of both ends, it's like you clean the pipes out. That's what I feel like. So there's like, you know, think of like all. Oh, my pipes are cleared.

Exercise the demons. Yeah, no, I mean, think of like all my pipes are clear exercise the demons. Yeah, no I mean when you when you've had bad food poisoning by you know about hour number six in it's pretty much His water coming through both ends right? I mean literally you can it looks clear. I mean completely both the throw up and what your P. Well, and before that the thought that goes through your mind is I don't remember eating all that like where's that coming from what am I vomiting right now? Yes, horrible. Yeah, it gets everything. But you know, I did that then they put me on antibiotics I was on Cipro, phalaxin which is a pretty strong antibiotic given for various types of infections, but it does treat things like E. coli or whatever and

Went on that took activated charcoal as well Which by the way if you've never taken that before, that shit's fucking amazing. I had to do like the liquid charcoal, because when I was a kid, my brother fed me too much of this cough syrup. It's because he was player playing doctor, right? And I was like a little brother.

And so, and I liked the flavor of it. It was like orange. And I'm like, hmm, yum, they fed me a whole fucking bottle of this. Oh shit. Yeah, almost killed me. So what happened? Just the last 40 points.

So yeah, the stomach pumped me and then they fed me all this like liquid charcoal. How did your parents find out they did that? Oh my God, I'd actually go down. You're actually between the, off the funny part is. So it was with him and his friend and his friend mom worked at the ER, was one of the nurses. And so I went in there and so she knew right away like what had happened and everything.

And so she was just like, so upset that they did that and stuff. But they didn't, I mean, they were just like, yeah, I was playing doctor, it was like, you know, get the younger brother in here and just feed him, you know, coughs here. So you got highest fuck. So what liquid, what charcoal does or activate it? So charcoal has been used for a very, very long time

as a detoxifying agent. Does it, if you're, does it pair with it? Well, so, so what happens if you get, if you get any kind of poisoning, it's like a standard treatment in hospitals. Absorb what it does is it binds with things and then it makes them too large to be absorbed by the body. So it binds with them and then you excrete it.

And so it's a fantastic detoxifying agent. It's so potent in fact that if you take it with certain medications or vitamins, it'll prevent the absorption of them. So you have to be careful when you take it. You if you take it with certain medications or vitamins, it'll prevent the absorption of them. So you have to be careful when you take it. You can't take it with like, if you take it with vitamins, you're going to be wasting a lot of it. Oh, that's good a bit of knowledge right there.

So because I've used chart, we have to keep track of all in the household. Oh, yeah, absolutely. When did you use it? I've used it. Anytime I've had like stomach viruses or things like that that are going on, like that's probably when I would use it, but that's good to know not to pair it with what I'm also taking the medication for that, because if you're taking the medication for the stomach virus and then you're also using charcoal, it's kind of defeating the purpose.

What's the, do you know the window? Do you know how long that would be? Oh, so what I read was is to take it, if you take charcoal, take it like four hours before or like one or two hours after something else that you're going to take. So if I'm taking a medication, if I take that medication, I should wait at least two hours, I believe. That makes sense because that's that's basically what the time you average time you would take to digest and absorb food. So it's a very it's a very interesting stuff never used it before. Lots of my friends who are in the like the wellness industry just

I've used it before. Lots of my friends who were in the wellness industry just rave about it, especially for stomach problems or if you have gas or whatever. So when I got, because I had a doctor actually come to my room when I was in Thailand to do the IV and stuff, and then they gave me a blood test and they saw that I had high white blood cell count like it's an infection, gave me antibiotics, and they also gave me activated charcoal and they told me to take it as well. And it was like fucking magic. Like, it was incredible how it stopped,

all the, yeah, how it kind of stopped everything. But anyway, I did that, and now it's like, then I came home, and my diet wasn't great, because first of all, I had a 20 hour layover in Beijing. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. Good times. Yeah. Yeah. Good times.

Yeah. Did you stay in the airport the whole fucking time? What am I, I'm not gonna leave and have to go through customs and do all that shit again. Oh my God. What a nightmare. Yeah. You know what though?

Shame on you for trying to save a buck on your flights. Why is it good money? Shame on you. No, $500 to get to Thailand round trip. This is, this is one of the things. This is how Katrina and I get into it over little things like this. I'm like, dude, I do, I will spend 200 more bucks on the ticket.

It wouldn't be 200 more bucks. It would be more than double. Well, yeah, but still, $1,000 to 500 bucks to me to not be stuck in an airport for 12 hours. No, 20 hours. 20 hours. Yeah, definitely.

We land on the only worth it. Oh yeah, and it's like purgatory. Well, so what happens is here I am, and I'm now my appetite's coming back and I'm stuck in an airport So I'm just eating Well, I mean yeah, and you have nothing else. What do you do? You have nothing better to do right? I mean it's in the Beijing airport's fucking amazing by the way. It's one of the most beautiful airports ever Oh, wow. Yeah, it's gorgeous. It's massive. It's like a big mall. Thank God, right? And there's yeah

But for 20 hours like I know that place better than I know my own fucking bathroom now. Like I went back and forth and I shopped in every fucking shop there and I ate it every single restaurant and I drank alcohol, there's one bar in there and I fucking, I got drunk like three times and got sober three times. But, and I expected like, oh man, I shouldn't have done that I'm gonna be in pain, you know, I'm gonna hurt my,

no, my stomach's fine, dude. And I had, then I ate a bunch of pasta at my mom's house and it wasn't even hurt my, no, my stomach's fine, dude. And I had, then I ate a bunch of pasta at my mom's house and it wasn't even gluten-free, no problem. I'm wondering if I cured myself. I wouldn't go that far. But I'm wondering if something's going, like if I did something that, you know, it's kind of reset me.

What if I'm normal? Yeah, let's wait on that. I'll get fat now. Yeah, let's wait on that. That's the only thing that motivated me to help me. You imagine, what happened to Sal? You got rid of your parasite, that was making me shredded. No, it looks like fat now. That's the only thing that motivated me to help me. You imagine it could happen to sell. You get rid of your parasite. That would make me shredded.

It looks like crap now. Did you do a lot of maps, prime work, why you were there? Did you say you, because I know you didn't do, you didn't go to the gym. I know that. No, I did a lot of mobility work. I did lots of static stretching and then I would do static stretching with tension and then I would do mobility work. So I kind of sequenced it in that way

and it really worked really well. And so I would do prime, you know, prime movements, tension movements on the beach, which is fucking awesome. And when I came back, of course, when you come back to the gym after taking 12 days off, you get sore, right? You work out and you get sore.

And I go easy on I go real easy on purpose So I went back to Jim and I went real light But my mobility was like incredible man my depth and my squats everything felt amazing crazy You know sometimes we just especially guys I guess with a take the time off just and I noticed you were doing a lot of Stubble your axon stick. Yeah, you've been doing a lot of work with that. Are you playing are you playing with some different stuff as far as like Programming with it and making sure everything works I'm a bit of both with that. Are you playing with some different stuff as far as like programming with it? Are you just making sure everything works? I'm a bit of both, so I'm in the next phase of it, which is just like intensively trying to figure out

exactly what I'm gonna put in front of the world. You know, and so for me, it's like, I have a pretty decent library of exercises that I've kind of come up with and other people have kind of had before, as far as isometric exercises, or like tension exercises that would apply with this, and I could show it, but I have to create a lot of it.

And this is something that I want to expand on further, and that's definitely something like, we're gonna, I'm gonna have you guys come in and help me kind of like create, you know, a plethora of like more options with this, but yeah, I've been just trying to like wrap my brain around it further and just exclusively, okay? So if I'm gonna put this out there,

like what can I do with it that's unique or if I'm a physical therapist, like what really are the exercises that, you know, what would those look like? And so it's been cool because I've been able to think a little more creatively with it. And now I've found a few moves that I really like. And I'm like, wow, that makes perfect sense, you know, to do so.

How much of it can we talk about? Because I've been getting a lot of people. Okay, so it's, we're ready, man. I mean, yeah, I'm excited. Like I've been holding back lot of people. All of it. Okay, so it's, we're ready, man. I mean, yeah, I'm excited. Like, I've been holding back a lot, like, you know, we're kind of like alluding at, like, I've been really restricted with because of all the patents, the trademarks,

like, every little thing, like, even the way we charge it, like, has a separate patent. So, I can't even like show that yet. How many total patents did you have to go through? So far we've got like five like international patents and then it's trademarked and So then there's different areas like there's Asia and all that which we really want to make sure we get like the right type of patents so if we have like

the If we go to get Materials from them and or if they're gonna manufacture it for us and all that, we gotta make sure that everything's protected. Are we gonna, anyway, there's a lot of logistics involved with now, we're in this phase where if we're gonna present it, we gotta have all our shit together and have it all figured out.

Yeah, yeah. I'm super ecstatic for it just because there's nothing out there and I can totally see where like for assessment. So I kind of envision you know evolving because one of the things I miss, I miss training someone on one clients, right? Yeah. And so I've thought long and hard like,

okay well when my pump is kind of on auto and we've got all these things running and we've got all of our programs finished and you know I want to be able to still like assess people and help people out. And like to me, I can see like what an awesome tool this is gonna be for like a trainer assessing clients. Like when you first get them,

like to me, it will become like a staple assessment that I'll add to like my squad assessment for a client. And you know what's cool is, so me experimenting with those different types of, so if I look at the gym crowd or the physical therapy, the therapy world or all these different markets, then I looked at performance. I was just talking to Mike Selimmy, like who we've recently brought on the show and done some kettlebell work with and all that. And so he saw me kind of using it in in our headquarters here.

And I kind of showed him how I did these like tension squats and these things, you know, in the doorway. And I kind of asked him, like, what do you think? Like, how would you use something like this? Or like, how would this, you know, apply to some of your methods. And so he immediately kind of thought about it and was like, wow, because of the fact that I can take this into increments of like, you know, 10 pounds of pressure and I can really discern how much of it I'm giving out, how much I'm pulling back. He said that flux of like being super specific.

So with kettlebells, you want to apply tension at the right time, right? And same thing with Olympic lifting. So for him, looking at it, it's not just that you can ramp up into a max. And I know what that is. It's the process of ramping the max, pulling back, coming about midway, there's like all these increments in between. Now you can really determine and see as a coach like where your athlete is at and how much tension they're playing

and then coach them back off. Yeah, at this point or what I'm right. Exactly, there's like an actual gauge for them now to assess. The applications I think are pretty endless. I mean, I would like to, I can't wait to maybe work with you somehow and create some some kind of programming around it because. Oh, absolutely. And the good thing on that, the cool thing is because we have this facility and now we're going to be hosting seminars here, like all the information that you're gonna learn from some of these new techniques and seminars,

I mean, think about all that, what you can take from that and apply and utilize your stick to work alongside some of these new methodologies and techniques. I mean, it's almost like, one of the best things about being open-minded and fitness as you do that, right? You take something from everything.

Sometimes it's a little, sometimes it's a lot, and you end up developing incredible techniques because you understand things from multiple angles, you know what I mean? Yeah, and what I'm excited about is this not just me that's, like I'm doing a lot right now to kind of wrap my brain around it. I know once you guys have it in your hands more, your brains are gonna go crazy with it. And there's been people that have already given me

good feedback, like physical therapists that are like, wow, I can't wait to do my own tests and test a set of my clients and then give you all the feedback and show you tangibly, this is what I was able to do and this is the kind of results we got and the kind of connectivity we were able to enhance and So like I've had a lot of great like they can immediately see that I think like It's been interesting because I think physical therapy like they deal with a lot of like metrics already So they're they're trying to

Well, you need measurable metrics you need measurable measurable with insurance and all that kind of stuff. So I feel like that's an easy fit. But yeah, for me to show the need for it with what we already got with prime, what we're diving into deeper with it, there's just endless to me. Well, especially like I think of like, so just recently, if you're following on Instagram, I've done like some post of some of the prime movers and things that I've been doing. Like and I right now I use video to show my progression in these things, but man I would love a metric like the stick to

be able to like press against my heel and then I do it and then I continue to do all these priming movements and fortifications sessions. Then I come then I come back revisit it and now I actually have a metric to priming movements and fortification sessions, then I come back, revisit it, and now I actually have a metric to say, oh wow, I was creating five pounds of pressure, now I'm creating 15 pounds of pressure with only putting this much time in, oh my God, look at how much I can progress by doing that,

or it could be able to now compare certain moves, right? Because there's so much information out there and so many different mobility moves and drills. Even just to be able to compare right to left. Yeah. You know, you might be able to lift both legs in a particular position, the same height, but one can create more tension in the other one.

But you won't see that. Very common. Yeah, I mean, that's probably every single time, but you can't see it and you can't, you know, you're not able to really do that, except for trying to feel it, which, you know, you can get away with if you're really, really, really in tune with your body, but if you're not able to really do that, except for trying to feel it, which, you know, you can get away with if you're really, really, really in tune with your body,

but if you're learning a new movement, even how in tune you are with your body, you're not in tune with that movement. You don't have any feel there, you know what I mean? I mean, you know, I'm brings taking us through these movements and showing us the range of motion by manually putting us in there, and then it's like, oh my God,

I feel like that foot doesn't belong to me at this moment. You know, it bends that way, but it doesn I feel like that foot doesn't belong to me at this moment. It bends that way, but it doesn't feel like it can. Which is really bizarre. It's very bizarre, but you're not connected, so having a metrics like that. Speaking of which, I mentioned the seminars, we should talk about our up and coming one, El Noah. Oh yeah, we got all kinds of cool stuff.

Yeah, El Noah, let's talk about that one first, because that's the first one that's coming up. I think that was, you were able to experience one of those specific poses and moves. Tell us about how that felt. Well, here's the first thing. This is why I'm very excited to go to the class. It's on, by the way, it's going to be held here at Mind Pump Media Headquarters. So you get to come take this class, learn this incredible techniques, which by the way, El Doa is breakthrough, definitely breakthrough. But you also get to see our studio,

get to hang out here. It's already filling up, by the way. So at the end of this, I think we'll make sure we tell people how they can sign out because. Yeah, and don't ask me to say what El Doa stands for. I have it all in my a French. It's a French word. I have it all in a French word. It's so, but the date here at MindPunt Media Studio, it's March 11th and 12th. So it's happening here in San Jose, 11th and 12th. Eldoa, if you're a trainer,

is we'll put you at a completely different level from your peers. 100%. Especially if you're in. If you're into like, you know, CES for NASM, correct, corrective exercise specialist, you're in to like you know CES for NSM correct corrective exercise specialist You're into mobility like that addressing issues. I mean which I think in my opinion is a majority of our job as trainers It's I think more than more than half of my clients were you know the average you know

50-year-old woman who's had three kids and deals with low back pain and knee issues and stuff like that. So this will make you extremely valuable as a trainer, even for athletes, like you'll have athletes that'll come in and you'll, you'll, because you took El Dóa, you understand how to take them through certain movements, which I promised you've never seen before.

Like this is not, it's very unique stuff. Very, very, none of, look, I've been in fitness for 20 years, I've been managing big gyms for 20 years, and I've been deep in fitness most that time, and I have never seen anything, like half these movements, I like, what is that? And then you do them and just, you're blown away, but El Dóa, it's a French acronym,

but if you translate to English, not that this is gonna make sense to many people, but it means longitudinal, osteoartarticular decaptation stretches. So that sounds really complicated, but basically, it elongates the spine. Yeah, it's treatments to, for general back pain arthritis, intervertebral disc compression, scoliosis, proprioceptive difficulties, pathology,

articular lesions. I mean, it really has a huge influence on the posterior system, which if you're a trainer, you know that affects everything from high level athletic performance to just everyday walking and sitting or whatever. And it's like I said, it's very, very unique. It's one of those classes you'll take,

and I promise you'll wanna take the next level. So let me just feature featured in Iron Man magazine with him doing LDo. Did you see that? Yeah, he's a big believer in it. At the first time I did it, I was blown away. But the thing that I'm excited about them coming here and actually going through the whole course was,

so one of my favorite things, when I learned something like this, I love it right away. I'll go apply it to a client or a family friend or somebody or myself, right? And this is, there's so many little details in what you need to do intrinsically. So like the first move that I did, I remember when Brink was like teaching me

and Stephanie did it with me also. And it's not like, there's so many little parts that you have to focus on and really easily can you get distracted by just one. So having those coaching cues is everything. It's crucial. Yeah, I could, like I get people are gonna be like,

I know after this episode people are like, oh, post a video or show this. Like the only reason why you haven't seen me post a video on it is because it takes me and another person to give the coaching cues so you can hear. Well, it's not like exercising where you have like, okay, this part of the movement then this and then you're done. You know, like it's like you are manipulating your body as the cues are being thrown out. So you have to be very, very patient and you have to have an understanding

of how to move and adjust and articulate your body accordingly. So it's a very, very slow, methodical process, but it's very beneficial. It's extremely valuable, it's so valuable that we've recognized the value in it that me, Justin and Adam will be taking the course. Also, we'll be in here, Mind Plum Media Studios taking the course along with us. Along with all of the high level trainers and stuff.

And by the way, these are the people, these are the kind of people that take out the way. The kind of people that you'll see in LDoA are gonna be some of the top trainers in the area. Doctors, like osteopaths, physical therapists, chiropractors. It is, this is legit, this is legit shit. If you're the kind of trainer, like I said, if you wanna separate yourself

and really put yourself on a completely different level, this is probably one of the best courses you could take. That being said, I think it's important to note that it's probably on the advanced side. I would say, no, it's, it's, I would, you're gonna learn. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend this to a trainer. You're not gonna come in and breeze through it.

This wouldn't be your first certification. This wouldn't be, this is for someone who's been training for a while. Well, it is level one. This is level one, I'll go. Yeah, it is their level one. But I mean, you understand, you're understanding of the body.

Yeah, you wanna be able to understand basic mechanics in my opinion. I think if you're going to invest in it and come to it, I think it would be most beneficial for somebody who is already a trainer or a PT or a car, but you already have some sort of a base heading into it and then I really see it being huge. Yeah, I don't see you just a crappy half time,

I hate to say that, but trainer, coming in and taking the class and trying to have acid. Now, this is like, like I said, if you really want to separate yourself and I'll tell you what, as a personal trainer, one of the most valuable things that I noticed for myself that really made me successful, and we've talked about this on previous podcasts

in terms of what I have to offer, was my ability to assess people and to alleviate pain and correct pain. That gave me so much fucking value. Oh, for sure. More value than anything else. Oh, longevity. It gave me more, it made me more value

than being able to get someone to lose weight. No joke, like if you're the kind of trainer where your client will call you and say, hey, my shoulder hurts, I need to come see you versus, hey, my shoulder hurts, I have to take a week off. Like that makes a tremendous difference and the kind of value of providing your client, it makes you worth more money.

Like if the average strain in America charges, I don't know what the average rate is in America, probably 60, 70 bucks an hour. If you can also correct pain, you can pretty much add 30, 50% or even double your rate because now, you know, people are like, man, my back hurts. Oh yeah, because I need to go see,

you know, oh, go see this strain of this fucking dude, yeah, because I need to go see, you know, go see this trainer, this fucking dude knows what he's talking about. What's going on? Right. So when someone actually asked me, I was actually, I told you guys, I talked to a lot of trainers that I hired a long time ago that have continued to mentor.

And, you know, I was talking to them on the other day about, you know, moving their rates up and they're asking me like, you know, how did you get to a point where you can move your rates to 150 plus an hour? I just feel like that's such a stretch for me. I said, well, I think what you have to do is you have to either whether it be certification

or experience or, you know, teaching yourself or going to these types of seminars, is once you start to add this type of knowledge in your belt where people can see themselves not using their chiropractor now or not going to a PT or not seeing a nutritionist because you're so valuable. Yeah, because now that's how it becomes that valuable is because not only you am I your personal trainer now, now you feel confident that I can do all your nutrition, you feel confident

that I'm the one to can fix you if you have any aches or pains. So when you become their main source of health and wellness, then 150 an hour is not a lot of money actually because they're paying 70 for this guy, 60 for this guy, 50 for this guy, and you know, combined, it's costing them a lot more than 150 an hour. So that's where you have to get. It's one of those skills where you'll get a client that'll come see you and say, I have back pain and you can say, you know, great, I've, you know, I'm certified in El Dóa. I'm going to take you through some very unique movements and positions.

And by the end of this 30 minute session, you should notice some changes in your pain. You should notice that you get some reductions in pains and some improvements in your mobility. And then you show them and you, and they do it, you're like a fucking magician, like 30 minutes later, they're like, whoa, I feel a lot different. And it's really the thing that I picked up from it when, when Brink took us through. Because by the way, I'm speaking from a completely observational standpoint. I've been exposed to their movements through Brink. I have not been certified yet. So I'm excited to take the course on March 11th. I'm excited because when Brink took us through, I did not realize the connection between the fascia

and tension in my wrist and my back. I'm saying like, he puts you in these positions and you are creating this longitudinal, longitudinal, excuse me, tension through different fascia, you know, direction, fascial directions. I'm not even if I'm explaining it right, that's what it felt like, and you feel, I mean, you really feel a difference,

and you know, I'm pretty, you know, all these lines interconnect. Yeah, that's crazy, yeah. That's what I'm trying to say, like these lines that they've put together of tension that you can create with these movements that require no, I mean, like, how great is that?

You can alleviate someone's pain or correct their posture or change the way their body moves without any type of, you know, like major intervention. It's just movement. Yeah, anybody that I've taken through it, as soon as they get up, they're like, whoa, I feel taller. That's, yes.

That's like the most common feedback I'm getting right now is it's like, whoa, I feel taller. It's funny, Brink said that he's actually had quite a few people take the course who have no interest in working in the fitness industry, but who themselves have chronic pain and they took the course so that they can fix themselves and they've had great success. It's a good move too.

Yeah, I think he's had some patients in fact that he's recommended, like, hey, listen, I think you should start working. That's a good point too. I guess that's the other person that I would recommend. If you've dealt with posture and back issues for a long time and you've been frustrated because you've seen all these specialists and no one's helped you out. Going through this certification for yourself could be super beneficial. Speaking of that, what is the rate on it?

Do you know what they... So it's, I mean, it's a two-day course, right? It's a two-day course and in comparison to other two-day courses, because when Bringsent is the price, I was like, that's it. Like, I know other certifications. Like $1,000? No, it's $5,99 is the regular price. For a two-day Aldoa, which like I said, you're $4,000. No, it's 599 is the regular price for two day Aldoa, which like I said, you're, you're getting a lot of good information. But there's

a, yeah, most of the other certifications, I know we have coming through here. I have a thousand plus. Yeah, I know the check coming eventually. Yeah, those are all thousand dollars stretch coming. But I do know that if you get, if you sign up early bird, you say 50 bucks is 549 is what he sent us here in the text. And then you say 50 if you sign up early. No, that's what it is. Yeah, 549. The way you sign up is you go to, which one is it? Oh, beach, beachfitness.com. So I guess the ones that put this together.

Well, I tried to add a link to, if you go to the Mind Pump Instagram page, because if you go into, yeah, the link where the website normally is, because they made it a little bit challenging to get to the meat of it. You can go to our Instagram page. We have a link up there. Or if you go to beachfitnis.com, you go up or right, there's a drop down menu, click on Aldoa training, and then go on the San Jose.
