That's how I sing it So that song if you're a 90s kid like we are What I mean by 90s kid we weren't born in the 90s

We were just like teenagers in the 90s. Yeah, we grew up with Chris Cross that song was the fucking song at every school dance Like that song is all every school dance that's almost played and you had to go dance with some girl. Yeah. Can you remember the first time like your first slow dance with a girl at school dance? Mm-hmm. The very first one. You try to slide your hand from the lower back like a little art. Yeah. Yeah. To the top of the body. Yeah, the right on the rope.

Right on the other top. What a good question. I don't remember my first real slow dance of the girl. Mine was with Stacy Kyle. You remember? Totally. Really? Sweating your dick off. Yeah.

Oh, right. I pissed off some other girl because I was dancing. Nervous on where the hand goes on the back. How far down are you allowed to go? How far off are you? I went in. I was like, you know, I was like, what are you doing this like oh doing this I'm going to really you want full booty. Yeah, I didn't know what I was doing But yeah, I just kind of hugged her and was like

You got a joker around You saw were we get that tussle were you do you remember the first time you dance with the girl? You still on a experimenting with boys at that time. No, no, no, no, I was already over that face. I remember Crystal meth face. Exactly. God damn. Oh my kids don't listen to this thing. I'm gonna be like, yeah. I don't know you experiment with boys and you dig crystal meth. Listen, I record that.

I must say it's to my kids when they get older and listen to this. Like, no 99% of the stuff that Adam says is so bad. 99%. So anyway, I remember my first... What the fact check that? My first time, I remember my first... What the fact check that? My first time, I was in seventh grade or eighth grade,

seventh or eighth grade, and I meant the, fuck, I can't remember the name of the group now. Ah, anyway, I'm at the dance and I'm wearing, do you guys remember when it was like in style, where you wore like a button down shirt, you tuck it in, but it was in style to have it buttoned all the way up.

Oh yeah. You know, but you didn't wear a tie or anything, you just buttoned it all up. So I had a green shirt on. This is so crazy, I remember this. And I buttoned it all the way up to the very top. And I'm sitting there, and I'm just, no, it wasn't like that.

That's a bottom with no bit tops. No, it was just, but you remember when I'm talking about it. I have no side of time. Yeah. I still have some flanels like that. The bottom was no bit. Yeah, absolutely. No, it was just, but you remember when I was talking about I'm nose-of-the-dose. Yeah. I still have some flannels like that. Right around that time, by the way, the Bolo tie was in style. Remember the Bolo tie?

That was like the one that with the two leather strings that would come down. Oh my god, that was in style. That was never in style. That was like right before the- It was a set for Chuck Norris. No, no, no, no, that shit was in for a second. So anyway, he's the only one that could,

gah, you know, front kickies. So anyway, he's the only one that could go, you know, front kikis. So anyway, I'm at the dance and you know what you do at a dance. Your first dancer and your kid You're just kind of standing off on the side with your buddy and you're just like talking about like the girl I don't know how well. No, no, no, no, no. Anyway, song comes on and I can't believe I can't remember the name of the song I can't remember. It was like two really overweight black dudes and they sang this really cool song that was, I'll remember it. I'll remember it's gonna come to me halfway through the episode.

Two overweight black dudes. Yeah, one guy had kind of dreads a little bit. PM Dawn. PM Dawn. Yes, yes. Oh, I don't know. I was almost gonna say Millie Vanilla. That's a very good shape.

No, they were a good shape. No, they were a good look of dudes. No, it was PM Dawn. And they didn't even sing. And it was that one song, duh, remember the beginning of it, the kind of things like that? So that song comes on, I can't believe I just sang that,

by the way, we're gonna have to edit that out, Doug. No, I wanna hear more. And that song comes on, I'm like, oh, I fucking love this song, like I gotta go ask a girl to dance. And man, I had a lot of balls as a young age, could actually ask a girl to dance. So I go over to her, her name was Laura.

Not gonna say her last name, just to protect her. But her name was Laura. So I walk up to her and I'm like, hey, do you wanna dance? And she's like, yeah. Now, remember in seventh grade, if a girl said, yes, she wants to dance to you and you're a boy, you immediately are like, I knew she likes me.

That's what I'm thinking in my head. But she didn't fucking like me. She just let me dance with her. And I got my hands on her hips and we're doing the barely moving, where my feet don't even move that much, and kind of shift inside your neck. Yeah.

And then after the dance was over, she's like, okay, thanks, and she moves off. And I was like, oh my God, I danced with her. I think she's, I totally have a crush on her. And I remember like, it's school the next day or whatever. I'm like trying to talk with her. She's like, why are you trying to talk to me? She's ignoring you.

And I'm like, we fucking danced. Like, why aren't you, it aren't you it was like we're almost together now yeah you know what I mean it's official no no I think what was your favorite song though I thought my mind was a Brian Adams oh wow remember remember this song for for Robin Hood yeah sure for Robin Hood

very into the movie that's a jam right that's not even his best song dude no but it was somewhere up somewhere up but that one song somewhere six and nine summer six and that's a fucking great song. Brian Adam. But the one you're thinking of was because the popular slow dance songs were Brian Adams. They were a voice to man. And then it was the bodyguard song with Whitney Houston. That shake came on and everybody had to go down.

I die for you. Oh, yeah, that's down. Now it's true. Everything I do. Do honey whoever you are I'm so sorry I can't remember my very first female like slow dance like I'm Unmemorable. Yeah, I know it's I feel like I'm like what a douchebag I am. I'm a man. She's like I remember the first time I dance with mind pump Adam in fourth grade. Dude, I had a good. I don't remember my first kiss. What am I very? I remember that.

Yeah, one of my very first girlfriends who I like because she was my first girlfriend. So I totally fell for her right. Anne Marie, one of my very first girlfriends you would did it Amber would She would get like totally turned on whenever R&B was on for whatever reason like if I put R&B music on Like for sure we're gonna get into actually works yet with her it was weird She's like oh my god Don't put that on because you know how it makes me and I was like of course what I'm gonna put on I'm fucking rmb and She's like oh yeah, oh dude. Let's go in on

Oh fuck call her me bad Color me bad with the shit. It's like back in India dude. Oh, yeah I watched color me bad the other day on YouTube. I'm like, oh fuck, Color Me Bad, they were so awesome. The cheesiest music video I've ever seen in my entire life. Ever. Remember the one dude that looked like George Michael? Yeah, he was like an ugly George Michael.

Yeah. God, what a great, yeah. That was like a Justin Timberlake and that guy made fun of them. Like in the Lonely Island those videos. No, I love that. Now, how important do you guys think in the box? How important do you think it is to have,

have these experiences, right? Where you sweating like crazy, nervous as hell, have to ask the girl, go do this dance. Like, how important do you think these moments were in your life into forming your character now? Like, because I think about this and how different it is. Like, I don't think the kids have to do the same thing where they gotta go ask the girl and that.

They text them. Yeah, they're like, really though. I mean, they do it all aloof. Yeah, whatever. You know what you want to do? I think it's still stressful. But you know what's freaking me out right now. That I'm just literally getting a little bit of anxiety is surrounding this. I'm thinking of the shit that I did with my girlfriend eighth grade girlfriend the stuff that we did and I'm realizing that my kid is one year away from that

Oh, man, I mean we did some shit dude and I was a little kid and we were We were doing a lot of touching a rubbin' and stuff, and that's fucked up, man. If I'd, Jesus, hope my kid's not doing that kind of stuff. A little touchin' rubbin'. I mean, maybe I am, I don't know. I'm with that. Do you guys remember your first kiss?

Yeah. Dude, come on. Yeah. How did you guys work? What was your deal? Were you the one that leaned in or did she lean in? No, mine was organized. Mine was organized.

Like her group of friends, my group of friends, it was the water slide park. It was meadow. She had a crowd. Oh yeah, there was like a crowd in front of her. In front of her. What is that? Why?

Because at that age, there is this, you're the validated. Yeah, and you need that. Plus, what's the use of making out when nobody sees it? And you can't prove it, right? Because you're talking about. Oh, there you can't prove it right because you're at that You're talking about your girlfriend. Yeah, we're lastka. What do we talk about here fourth fourth fifth grade time, right? And I remember wow you were wait you did a full-on make-out in fifth grade like tongue Yeah, but it wasn't like let's be honest with ourselves here

Yeah, it was a little like it was more of oh You know, yeah, not a lot of, I wouldn't call it a make-out session. Like, I didn't, I don't think I was well versed in French until like freshman year high school. I think by then I would say that was a make-out session. But this was like, you know, kissing, a little bit of tongue in the mouth,

come back to your friends and then asking you, did you stick your tongue in the mouth? Yeah, dude, I did, I did. What was it like? You know, go from like a smashing tongue and I'm like, yeah, dude, I did, I did. What was it like? You go from like a smashing phase to like a too much tongue, like, you know, almost like a tube tongue. Oh, yeah. You know, it's like too much.

I remember that we pulled back. It was all scheduled to happen at, like, so I just got this girlfriend. And it was a couple of weeks later, we were heading into like summer and there was the big, you know, where we grew up, there was a water park not far from us. And they were, you know, had a school, it was a school function, but we had a lot of freedom. Like, there was, you know, shaperones and so that, but I mean, it's a huge water park. So you

could go find areas. And so it was like, listen, you're going to go meet Emily over on the picnic bench, you know, after we get there and this and that. So there's this huge plan. And I remember like coming around like the grassy knoll and there's a there's there She is sitting on the picnic bench with like five of her girlfriends. No, are you stressing out? Oh fuck. Yes. So hands sweating like crazy, you know nervous as fuck wanting to back out camp't back out now, you know say everybody's can't back out Not pushing out now like I mean I'm in them committed right doing this said I will of course all kiss her I'll fucking kiss her to know like of course I was going to do that But then when time came to you know go over there and do that it was like oh shit

It's about to go down and so it's funny because it was like she's like 50 yards away So she could absolutely turn around see me standing there with my five friends. She's over on the picnic bench with like her five friends. And then we're like sending one or two friends back and forth. They are you ready? Like are you ready? Okay, you know, he's ready. He we're cool on this side.

Is she cool over there on that side? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, you're just praying for like an earthquake or something. Oh, yeah. I'm like, look at you. I'm like, please, guys, let one of the teachers come over here and bust us and break us all up and tell us to go back and go play or some shit right

But I'm like fuck now. This is going down, you know, so and so I remember walking over there and you know what I don't remember as vividly like All of that detail like I could I could picture it all my head and then the moment between that and us actually kissing and happening Like I don't remember how I made the first move. Like, did I grab her hand? Did I lean in on her? Was it like, just as soon as I got over there? Like, that part is like very fuzzy to me. But I definitely remember the lead up to it. How sweaty my hands were, how nervous I was to go over

and do it, and then the experience of doing it and then being like, fuck yeah, I did. Fuck yeah, I gave her my tongue. Yeah, I did. All, I gave her my tongue All of it dude Gross what are you just said? Yeah, I it was a girl college. Oh, man No, dude, it was like great. I know of course you are. You're the fucking poo-houndy as if it's all come on man Bust chuck. Yeah, seriously. No, it was fourth grade and we were outside of class and like I had my friends ask, you know,

Adrian to go out with me and be like my girl, you know? Like, that's what you do. Back then you said go around. Well, remember that? Yeah. You want to go around? Go out. No, let's go out.

You can go out with her. Oh, I said go around. School year from. Sorry. Yeah, yeah We call it go out yeah, I can't really go out anywhere here. You just go around Yeah, go around and circles here. You guys go around over there. We had open campus You know, so we had we were a lot of go out and go do stuff like that maybe over here in the Bay Harry You guys like go around hang out. Yeah, I can't really leave here

So do you want to go around with me? I can't tell you how many times though? I said, like I'm going out with that girl and we agreed, but we like never talked or like interact at all. 100% so many times. 100% remember. So I like they called me out of that. My friends were like, no, do you not going out with her?

You're just like, you know, you're hanging out with everyone. No, man, I'm going out with her. You know, they're like, no, give me a kiss or anything. I'm like, yeah, do you know I'm totally gonna kiss her? No, you're not. You know, they're just talking shit. And so I kind of went over and like, hey, you know,

here's the deal. Like my friends, they don't believe me. They're going out with you. Like, can we solidify this? You know, we like make this a thing. And so she got all embarrassed, but she's like totally agree. She's like, all right, okay, you know,

I'm gonna kiss him. I'm like, cool, we can kiss. And we had like agreed to this. And she's like, I don't know, my mom, you know, she's real strict, Bob-A-Bock. She's giving me this whole backstory. I'm like, whatever, you know, cool. Let's make it, you know, we'll make it quick, whatever.

And after like school was out, I remember this vividly. She was, she walked down to the, you know, the ramp, you know those trailer, you know, classrooms. Like she was at the end of the trailer classroom. And she was trying to be all cute about it and like, like put her foot back and kind of leaned in with her face all puckering up like, mm, like that.

I was like, I looked at her like, what are you doing? That's so weird. And then I just like, awkwardly kind of grabbed her. And then I just like smashed her into me and just was like kiss her. And then she was just like, oh, like, yeah, then we finished. And then like, my friends got confirmation.

I was like, oh, and then I went on the bus. Next day, she broke up with me because. Because like the teacher like called her mom. She's like, you know, you're your daughter is doing and you know, you're forcing yourself on my daughter. You're cock-blocking teacher. You know what? You just brought up a memory. You know what I thought you think about when I think of fourth and fifth and sixth grade grade The insecurities

Most awkward. Oh seventh eighths all the way up to eighth grade. Oh totally right. It wasn't until high school Did I break free from this of that set time when you're not sure how developed you are as a young boy Like I'm a boy starting to make his way into manhood You know just starting to get armpit hair a little bit hair on your legs And I remember girls that age was the first one with pubes to make his way into manhood, you know, just starting to get armpit hair, little bit hair on your legs. And I remember girls that age. How was the first one with pubes? I remember, seriously.

It's all between me and my friends and cousins. That was the first one with the, oh, see, I wasn't like you prove it. Every day, it was like, remember that. Dude, I, yeah. It was like, it was like a, it was like a source of pride, you know what I mean? Like, like, hell, fuck, you got pubes.

God, you did another memory, you just, is my I remember standing around with my younger friends and Plucking out a pub to show your buddy You have pubic care that was such a thing it was and what it is is girls Girls that you know four fifth and six great some I mean I remember some girls getting their their period as a girl mature fast Yeah, they mature so much so all also in womanhood is here for them. And we're still young boys, right? Oh, we're f**k your zumbling idiots, which by the way, we never grow out of. I remember going to junior high. My mom rolling me up to like, because I went to junior high, that was seventh and eighth. And I'm, you know, boys,

we're still kind of idiots at that age. You, or like I said earlier, we're always idiots, and I'm rolling up, and I'm looking at the girls, I'm like, oh my God, what happened? Like boobs? Like girls have boobs now? Look how tall they are. Like, and you're just like, that's just adds another layer of the awkwardness of being a teenage boy, going through puberty.

That's absolutely hilarious. I remember, that's why hugs were so popular. But, you remember that face? Where it was just like, before I leave school, I went around and like, I remember being,

thinking you had so much swag too. You just like it so many times. Before I leave, before I leave, I was like, oh totally, I was like, yeah, let me hug the seven girls before I leave. Oh, yeah. I'm the man. I used to have a wallet when I was a kid oh totally, I was like, let me hug the seven girls before I leave, real quick, yeah. I'm the man.

Yeah, right. I used to have a wallet when I was a kid. This is funny, right? I don't know if you guys did this. And I had a picture of like every cute girl, you know, in your grade, right? And she was like, I so I had a, I had all of them sign my yearbook.

Oh, yeah. I don't have that one. And then you cared around this wallet full of all the girls. All the girls that were in your class and you got there, you know, when you get the little old mills photos or whatever the fuck, he comes and takes photos

and you get the little wallet size that I had just this wallet full of amershot. Yeah, totally, right? And then for my life school every day, make sure you go around, make sure I got my hug. See you later Lisa, see you later Emily. You later, Tonya. My first kiss was much later than you guys.

I think my last was seventh grade. That that's see what's weird is that you you beat us to the pubic area But you didn't as far skip right pass. Yeah, oh, I was having sex but I didn't I was an anal Are you guys? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, We just sat there and made out like two days in a row and then I told her I don't want to kiss you anymore And that was it. That's the first time. Oh, I'm over it. Yeah, I don't like the taste. Yeah Why'd you make that accent? I don't like the taste Lady I don't like it tastes. I don't like your I don't like your mouth. No, and that was it dude That's how I lost my kiss

Kissing for which if you think about fuck man, that's young dude Doing that kind of shit, you know what I mean? Well, I don't like that now that I have kids I don't want to think about it. Yeah, you think well, I mean it up for boys around that I remember being interested fourth fifth grade man Oh, yeah, but I didn't become serious interested until eighth ninth. Oh, that's when it gets that's when it gets painful Well, for me I was like you know, I mean Justin For me be it do for me being the late bloomer, I didn't have pubes in fourth grade like you did. Like it was like,

I didn't say you have a fourth grade. Yeah, I don't know what greener was. Yeah, it was later for me. So once I had put it together that, okay, I'm for sure a man. And that drive kicked up. My best friend had a mustache. Yeah, I was really,

you are awesome. Right? Right. I used the first go ball. There was like one kid. There's always that one kid awesome right? Yeah, right. We use the first go ball. There was like one kid. There's always that. There's always that one kid, right? That sucks.

It is always that guy. The guy that got the beard and the mustache. Oh, he always got to go ball. That's your kid. Yeah, first time. Yeah, I remember the distinct difference between the junior high relationship going out, going around, when everyone had called it,

courting and how you hung out with, and how you probably treated or acted with your girlfriend versus high school. I went like polar opposites, right? Like Justin said, I totally can relate to dating a girl when you're in junior high type time. You choose your girlfriend, but you never fucking even spend any time with her. You just claim you just agreed that you like each other.

This one over there. And maybe once every three months, you kissed them to say you did it or what I like that and you passed notes every once well. Other than that, you really didn't spend very much time talking to her or spending time, anytime playing with her, because you're playing with your buddies.

High school. Then you find out fun and it is playing with them. Yes. Then you find out they're way more fun to hang out and play with, and then you go to the other extreme. You totally alienate your boys, and you're like at at lunchtime you're holding hands and walking with your girlfriend Everyone's like what the fuck? You changed man, right?

Then you go through that hole that whole couple years I'll see you in practice I had like this little every mad at me because you have a girlfriend Yeah, cuz you can't get a girlfriend. What do you cut your hair? Yeah, what do you cut your hair I try to help him out your face is stupid We got the purge You're cuz of the stagie bird

So 100%, I'm sending this person that direction first is to take them through that process. And then, you know, I'm going to take them through probably a maps red type of structure, but I'm also going to modify it for somebody that is, that's why we did the pre-phase in maps red.

It's a regression for a lot of people that are super deconditioned and one of the most common mistakes that we have seen from people that are trying to get in shape is the over application of intensity and volume out the gates. And if you're somebody who's been sitting on a couch eating bad food and you haven't been training the gym, you really don't need to go in and do a whole lot at the beginning.

So less is really more in that situation. I think definitely prime, prime pro to kind of assess and see where the dysfunction's lie, but really just ramping up everyday activity. It doesn't even matter what, just standing up more, moving more, getting outside, hiking, doing house chores, just moving and tracking that process, really more than anything with somebody in this specific case. Because if you get too focused on having to hustle to produce a result. This is where down the road, she may regret that or may compile upon

an impending potential injury or something like that that may unveil itself. And plus, this is half of the battle a lot of times as your new trainer is like, do I give them exactly what they want, which is just to run and starve themselves? Or is it to actually make an impact that's gonna last a while?

That's the really the important part of this question is as a trainer you're going to encounter lots of clients like this where they want, they're gonna tell you, I need to lose 15 pounds in a month and a half because I'm have a wedding or I'm going to Vegas or I have an event that I need to get, you know, in shape four, that's why I'm hiring you. You as a trainer, know that if you do things

the right way, they're not gonna lose that 15 pounds very quickly, so what do you do? Well, here's my advice to you. As a personal trainer, this is for anybody, but as a personal trainer, do not compromise your integrity ever, okay? Because you may lose a client here and there in the beginning, but if you compromise your integrity, not only will it come back to bite you in the ass later on, but you're not going to establish yourself as the trainer that you can be. So your goal should be with that client who says that to you is to educate them and teach

them that you're going to do it the right way. And no, I'm sorry, I don't train people the wrong way. I don't crash diet. I don't destroy people's metabolism. The way I train people is I get them to a point where their metabolism is faster, they're strong, or they're moving better, where this becomes a part of their life where they're fit and it's easier to stay fit. I don't take people down the path of where they go up and down, yo-yo diet, lose weight,

gain weight, and destroy their metabolism. Don't compromise your integrity because you're going to get people like that. A lot of fields. And this is their mom, though, you know what I mean like especially special case Especially tell us like yeah, especially do not be real This reminds me of like the plastic surgeon who you know You see some of those people get way too much plastic surgery and you're like Jesus You know who's what plastic surgeon's operating on you dude you look like a lizard by now or whatever and look some plastic Surgeons don't have fucking integrity like look yeah, just pay me and I'll do whatever you look like a lizard by now or whatever and look some plastic surgeons

Don't have fucking integrity like look. Yeah, just pay me and I'll do whatever you want like if like what a lot of surgeons Will say is or the good ones will say I'm not gonna work on you man You've had too many procedures done. This is getting dangerous was as a trainer Yeah, they want that in the reputation as a trainer maintain your integrity if a client comes to me and ask me to get to do something to them That's gonna harm them. I'm going to say no. I'm going to say no every single time. Now, if this person has a competition that they want to get into, or they want to do something very, very specific in that particular regard, well, that's very different, but I'm still

going to educate them and teach them what we're doing is for this particular specific thing. I think there's a way for you to kind of to give both right to give Your mom or give a client a little bit of what they're looking for which is results, right? They want they're obviously hiring or asking a a Trainer for help because they want to see changed and they're not happy with and so You can start to make some pretty good changes that can make a difference in her overall health, everything from mobility to her strength, to her eating habits and other markers like her sleep and energy just by making some subtle adjustments. And I think that sometimes our peers in our field overcomplicate this. We all sit up in our IV towers and we debate over who is more right about this and there's

this study that proves this is better than this. And it's like, we're all debating over these things that are like really the small tiny little rocks in the grand scheme of things. And I think assessing your mom's eating habits and her movement patterns and getting her to improve upon a little bit of both every day a little bit more I think is it can be something that could alter her change her give her great results by the time she gets to this cruise and you don't have to worry about potentially damaging her because you're not pushing too hard too fast.

So I would, as far as takeaways here, is I would help her assess her eating. I would look at one to two things that I think that she can get better at. I'll give you examples of when I look at diets, you'd be surprised how common certain habits are as humans. We tend to gravitate towards the overconsumption of sugar and carbohydrates. We tend to under-consume good, healthy fats. If you're the average Jane or Joe tend to under-consume on protein.

You don't exercise or move period enough. So like those little things, like giving mom a goal every day now, okay mom, you weren't really doing this before. So let's go for a one hour walk every day. You know, every day, we're just gonna go for a one hour walk. That's it for the next week or two. And mom, instead of, I know you love this dessert

and you do this a lot, but I've looked at your diet and you're consuming 50 to 90 grams of sugar almost every day. Let's cut back, let's get rid of this and this and replace it with something more whole like this. And let's do those two between the walking more and making that nutritional change. Let's see how her body changes in those next two weeks and then build upon that with that same type of mentality of choosing one to two things to improve her nutritional balance and one to two things to improve her overall movement and always lean more

towards less is more and you can just slowly continually build on that week over week leading all the way up until this cruise time.

With the growing success of mine pump, have you found the need to check yourself in any aspect? I got to check Sal all the time. Before I let myself, before you wreck. You beat me to it. Yeah, I know. So for me, do I check myself on certain things? I definitely I definitely try to do this every single day, regardless of any success that we may find with my impumpest.

This is something I've been making a practice of mine for the last five years. I'd say the last five years of my life have been some of the most difficult years of my life. I've gone through some incredible personal challenges. And through that process, I've learned to do this to myself almost every single day, and it's helped me quite a bit. One of the things I do in regards to Mind Pump is I'm always checking myself in the sense

that I try to remember what I feel my purpose is or what drives me. And everybody's got a little, everybody's different in terms of what they feel the purposes or what drives me. And everybody's got a little, everybody's a different in terms of what they feel the purposes or what drives them. Like for me, I am not a money driven person, typically. Now of course I like, you know, I like money for the things that it allows me to do,

but I'm the last person to, you know, I don't necessarily value lots of material things. Now can I, I can depreciate them, but it's never really a big deal to me. I remember as a 19-year-old general manager, I mean, this is back in 1999, I was making six figures plus living at my mom's house, had tons of expendable income, and I drove a Volkswagen, and I really didn't care. It's the same one. And I really didn't care, and I realized why I didn't care. I wasn didn't care. Sure, the same one. And I really didn't care because,

and I realized why I didn't care. And I wasn't even aware of it at the time. I remember people like, dude, you could buy whatever car, like Corvette, get it, whatever. And I remember like, I just didn't do it and I didn't even pay attention to it, but looking back.

Which is impressive because we had a lot of buddies that were doing that around that time. Yeah. I remember coming up the same time, early 20s and all your buddies that were making the same kind of money were. Yeah, I poor, man. Yeah, I'm Mustang or Camaro or something cool or whatever.

I just didn't because it just wasn't important to me, but I didn't realize it necessarily. Now moving ahead, now I have kids and have all these responsibilities. Money means it's a little bit more important to me, but it doesn't drive me, it's not my purpose. And so I check myself in the sense that I remind myself of what drives me, and what drives me is my message,

is reaching out to people and influencing people hopefully in a positive way, and really feeling, really feeling that I have a positive impact, or at least trying to make a positive impact. And I know that sounds all like Fufu and you know, as a Terrick or whatever, but for me personally, when I remind myself of that, the best me comes out.

That's when I do my best social media posts. That's when I'm the best on the podcast. That's when I'm the most productive with the work that we do. If I start to allow myself to become money motivated, then I start to actually decrease my performance because I'm not my true self. So this is one of my motivations

to checking myself as well, which is kind of interesting. But definitely just reminding myself of what is important to me and what's important to me are experiences and being able to make a positive impact for lots of people and with the subject that I feel like I know a decent amount about which is fitness and health. I tend to, I mean, I go through this quite a bit as well as far as like checking myself on a daily basis, like, you know, just trying to be mindful of like on a daily basis, just trying to be mindful of recognizing people that have helped me along the way.

There's been, I can name off a plethora of people that come to mind that I just know, in pivotal moments of me shifting or going off onto my own and doing training by myself for I had certain clients that really helped me with that process and were totally supportive with that. And if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been able to really flourish in that environment. And then also learning how to,

I met certain people that helped me to reframe my thought process about how I charge and how that formed this entire business model that really worked well for me. And then just like all these different sort of pivotal moments, I can identify certain people that were there. And so I try to keep like thinking about that,

like, who's been, you know, a part of like this next stage or the next sort of platform that, you know, I'm going through and so, yeah, just try to like, not be arrogant and be like, oh, it's all about me and like, how much hard work I've put in and, you know, like a lot of times like it sucked into I'm working so hard. Why is this not, you know Flourishing and why isn't all this stuff happening and it's it's a process man This is always a process and there's always gonna be somebody there that like, you know, I'm leaning on so you know That's that's that's always a constant for me. So I'm trying to like

Get back to that mindset like, hey man, just be appreciative like, you know, these people are here supporting you and like this is a ride. So you've got to go with the ups and the downs and it'll even out. I think we're all pretty similar with that too. I think that I mean, god, I'm constantly or we're constantly checking ourselves. I think that we each pride ourselves on being self-aware men and always reflecting on things that we say. We do how we present ourselves, how we come across, our business relationships, our friend relationships, our family relationships, those we love, care about.

I think we're always evaluating that. And I couldn't ask to be with a better team of guys that not only do that to themselves, but help you do that with yourself in a very non-confronting type of way. I think that we each always help each other in this direction of like paying attention to our own egos, right? And I think we do it in a really crafty way. It's pretty neat how everybody maneuvers around each other's egos. Because I think in

order to have a show like this, you got to have these massive egos, but at the same time, this ability to have unbelievable humility. And I think the boys and I we all we all have this ability to do that so everyone is always checking themselves and and and panting in fact that be honest when I when I first read this question the thing that actually came to mind is checking ourselves almost on the opposite what I mean by that is as almost on the opposite. What I mean by that is, as mine pump has grown, I find that sometimes we can be more PC and we're more afraid of offending somebody

or we don't want to bully somebody. Now, like in the past, when we first started, like, look out, we come a gun, guns of blazing and we didn't give a fuck I mean that was our first t-shirt we ever made and the hashtag that we use was zero fucks. You get everybody to post who owns that t-shirt right right seriously awesome. We should do it. We should do it a little throwback it would be neat and so that was our mentality so when I think of checking ourselves I sometimes think

that we have to check ourselves and to not lose that flavor of a little bit of controversy and going after that because I feel like for a show which we are, I think that that's an important piece to it. And sometimes when you get to a point where you have so many people giving you their two cents, it's really easy to let them influence. I remember the first time we really started to feel this where we'd get emails or DMs or reviews from people being like, I really don't like it when Adam does this or when

Sal says that. And we would really take it to heart. Like, fuck man, I can't, man, did I really come off that way and then we'd be all evaluating it, checking ourselves and like and then you like put in a perspective like wait a second fucking yesterday 50,000 people listen to that and you mean four people all agreed that I sounded that way or you sounded that way like why am I really letting that affect my day and so one of the things I have to constantly check myself on right now or currently in regards to that is

not allowing the few people to ruin my day and I get it now. I didn't get it before like I know I've heard people talk before on the on TV and stuff about how little little Wayne will let his Twitter fans, you know ruin his day and he'll get engaged in it and like bothers him really bad and I kind of get it now because sometimes it can feel overwhelming, you know, Rune his day and he'll get engaged in it and it like bothers him really bad. And I kind of get it now because sometimes it can feel overwhelming when, you know, hundreds of people are firing at you about something. But when you look at it in the grand scheme of things, a hundred is nothing when you're talking to millions of people. So why would I ever allow, you know, a hundred people or 10 people or four people to affect my day? And that is something that I found is probably the most challenging as it grows is because it grossed,

it's now grown to a number that it's so large that it's inevitable. There is, there is yet now to be a podcast where I don't fucking offend somebody like it's somebody is offended right good 100% Somebody is offended. I didn't come off the way They would like me to come off. I they disagree with what I had to say And I just have to remember that zero fucks mentality that I am who I am and I'm not going to apologize for that Yes, I will always be checking myself and evaluating how I come off, but at the same time too, I don't want to change my message because I'm afraid of what others will think of me. And I believe that remembering to have that kind of zero fucks mentality and that

transparency, I think that becomes more important than actually trying to deliver the perfect message that everybody receives and everybody likes. Amen. Tim Imbo feels like you all have evolved since the creation of Mind Pump. Have you ever thought of being a life coach to help others achieve goals outside of health and fitness? Is there any more pretentious?

I am a life coach. Yeah, it's like it's good a party. It sounds like the most. That's a ballsy profession. Yeah, you know what it says? It takes some fucking mass and balls. Hey, are you doing life? Right, like I know you're doing it wrong.

Let me do it well enough. Let me show you how to kick ass at it though. You know what the, you know, okay, so the term life coach, and look, there's definitely some life coaches out there that are very valuable. Definitely Affending somebody right now that do very well. I don't know any life coaches. I'd hang out with but for the most part this This term was Invented because there's laws against saying therapist and unless you're certified in licensed therapist

You can't say therapists so they invented a a, they invented the term life coach, and now anybody can be a life coach. So it's funny when you read therapists on paper, sometimes you get confused. Why? The rapists. Oh my god. Yeah, that doesn't, that doesn't.

But, like, to me, when I try to trip me, I never put that together until right now. Thank you. Boom, you're welcome. Everybody, knowledge bomb. It sounds to me like you had a. Thank you. Everybody, knowledge bomb. It sounds to me like you had a party and you'd say, hey, how you doing?

What's your name? Oh, what do you do for living? Oh, I'm a doctor. What do you do? I'm an engineer. What do you do? I'm a life coach and you're like, he's unemployed.

He doesn't do anything. He just says he's a regular musician. Yeah, I just, you know, life coach. I would, you know what, I've been a life coach. Somebody who rents land. My entire career I've been a life coach is called personal trainer. Right. Let's be honest here.

Right, right, right. Most of the, when you're a personal trainer, most of the training that you end up doing with your clients, or at least most of a lot of what you do with your clients, is listening to their problems, talking with them, being a friend. You know, you give some advice, but really a lot of it's just listening. People like to, it feels good to talk to somebody and have them listen to you. And that's what happens.

I mean, that psychological piece in regards to fitness is important, but there's also just the, man, I would get dumped on by clients, by, you know, what's happening with their spouse and their kids and their job. And, I mean, non-fitness related things was like 80% of the conversation, if not all of the conversation

while we're training. We're training a good friend. Yeah, like honestly, it's so self-right. Which is a job on a tight front. You know, that's so self-serving. Yeah. They go to the live, like, how about you just be their friend? And like, keep them accountable and like tell them

the real deal. Well, we talked about K so, you know, and look, some people get a lot of value out of the end. Well, yeah, okay, so yeah. Complete transparency here, right? I think that I don't think we would ever do something exactly like that where we said that we're a life coach, one, I don't think we would say guru.

Well, we'll be your coach. No, I don't think there's enough money. A money in doing it because I still have it's just like back going back to personal training. I can only help one person at a time and the money side of me, the financial side, says like it's it would be a regression. It wouldn't make sense to it wouldn't be an evolution of what we're doing. It would be regressing. I mean, right now, they're for sure,

is way more than a handful of people that we can help through the podcast, so it would be going backwards. Now, what we have talked about potentially doing is, you know, doing like this full makeover on a person where they get to come in in studio and actually get trained by all three of us, not just personal training, but like all aspects of their life, which is pretty much personal

training for us and has has always been, but that full red carpet treatment where they actually come in studio, they get trained by us, we address diet, we address all the psychological issues, we address all the insecurities, we address all these things that they're battling and dealing with, and we help them through that process. I know that we wouldn't call it life coach, I know that we would name it something different and probably more creative, but I don't think that's an evolution.

I kind of want to be like a life coach, that's like also a magician. Yeah, like combo. Yeah, I don't know. It's just be awesome. Just like do tricks. I could teach you how to do live. Check this out. Eat this box.

It's not a bomb. Look at your fat now. Oh. Yeah, like you have like a tennis ball in your head. How was it a magic trick? This is what we're going to do to your income if you followed my advice. Boom. Four tennis balls.

What called droople. Give me your money. Crag it. Yeah, I don't know. So here's this is you're gonna get it. We're gonna get I know what's gonna happen. We get a lot of messages to people who are gonna be like, Oh my God. I had a life coach and help me so much. And they did. I'm not taking anything away from that. But something you want to ask yourself is how much of that life coach helping you was the life coach and how much of that life coach helping you was the life coach and how much of that life coach helping you was you making the decision

to hire a life coach. You know what I'm saying? Like, and talking your way through all the things. Like, like, you're in that space where you're gonna hire someone. I do, I do think there are a lot of people that can greatly benefit from this. And I think a lot of these are the same people who don't have a relationship or whether it be a friendship or a partner that they

mentorship. Yeah, that they can get this from, which I that's totally understandable. Like I definitely went through a period in my life where I think I most certainly could have used a life coach type of person because at that time I felt I had evolved beyond a lot of my peers. I didn't have a close friend of mine who I felt like, yeah, when it came to advice on things I really was uncertain about, did I have a friend that I trusted to give me good information or give me good advice?

And no, I didn't think I had that really and I didn't have a great mentor. So there was a little period of time there where I felt like, and I was in a relationship with someone like Katrina, that I could bounce things off of and help gather my thoughts. If you don't have someone like that, I think those people make a huge difference

for those people. That's it. To me, the ability, part of what we talk about our growth personally in the last couple of years because of the show is because we have three other men in this room that we respect their level of intelligence, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, to be able to give advice back to us.

And so, sure, we scoff at life coach because we don't see it necessary for our lives because we have each other, and in addition to that, we probably each have other friends or mentors or relationships that we have currently where we can reach out and get that. Now, if you're somebody who doesn't have that,

which is I think a lot more people than we think, that type of person can be. So I just looked up the qualifications to be a life coach. Obviously it's not a regulated industry. So anybody can say they're life coach, but there's actual certification courses. So I can take, it's no different than person. That they become a life coach

and you take their course and then you're a certified life coach. So I mean, look, if it brings you value, that's awesome. I've always thought it was interesting. The name was interesting. You know what I mean? Because life is everything. You already go with that.

So like I'm in everything coach. I mean, it's a lot of, but you know, I'm sure I'm pissing people off now. Not that I mean, look, I mean, if it brings you value. Business. Then college. Then go for it. Yeah, if it brings you value, I'm sure I'm pissing people off now. Not that me, look, I mean, if it brings you value, business, then college, then go for it. Yeah, if it brings you value, go for it. Sure. I personally don't think I could ever call myself a life coach.

Yeah, well, I think what the, feels like you guys have all the creation of my pump have you ever thought of being a life coach to help others to see, to me, that would be a regression to what we're building. I mean, we want to feel it's part of it anyways. You know, you talk about what you're doing. Of course, of course.

And, you know, what's going on, what your struggles are. That's just the natural progression. I, I foresee us going back and building out even more than what we already have. So if you, if you don't know this or those that are listening, you know, we created not that long ago a 30 days of free coaching on our website. So you go to our website, you drop your email at mineputmedia.com and you can sign up for 30 days of free coaching. And we've organized that through all the topics that we kind of address, both physical

and psychological with clients. And I think I could see us going back in bolstering that with even more stuff dealing with your every day life health and fitness and goals outside of just fitness and making it even more thorough and in depth with maybe resources even outside of our own like information that we've provided on this show and bolstering that more. So I definitely think that, you know, but I mean, shit, that to me, that's so much, but we can help thousands of people versus me scheduling time for our blocks to sit down and listen to somebody tell me about how bad their life is and me help them connect the dots on how it's not. And that's, you know, the outlook, the irony of this all is that some of the like top executives of the world have life coaches. Yeah. Well, let's talk about why that is. And I'll tell you right now, I can nail that right away. That's mostly checking them.

Well, and a lot of those, and you can attest to this, think of all the brilliant minds that we've met over the last couple years. Most of these super high level executives and brilliant minds are very socially awkward and don't have a lot of friends and a lot of relationships. That's my coaching, really. Exactly. So, the people that they're talking to are people that are listening to them, seeking advice from them and no one is really checking them and they don't have, and that's, it's very common especially at that level.

So it makes a lot of sense. You're a CEO, you're this super alpha personality, everyone listens to you, nobody, you're no one's checking you on your bullshit. You probably should hire somebody to check you on your shit. We're just aware that makes sense, but then somebody that like, idolizes whatever guru is like, you know, was worked with Steve Jobs, you know, like, oh, I'm gonna listen to everything they say

when they can just listen to their friend. Right. You know, get the same benefit. Right. Quick commercial break, you guys. We keep getting asked all the time, how can I support the mine pump family? Here's one of the best ways you guys can.

Do you believe in psychics and have you ever had a psychic experience? Coriants salwit here. It's stupid. Even though I believe it goes.

Nistro third rail. You love third rail lately man. It's so weird. I like knew you would ask this question. So you know what? You know what? What's that old joke? Like what's the one headlining ever seen in newspaper?

Psychic wins lottery. Psychic. If you ask me if I believe in psychics, you know, Stardom was predicted everything. Exactly. I'll have to say, I'll have for me personally, I'll have to say no. Do I know people who've had some crazy experiences

with psychics? Yes, I have a cousin who went to a psychic and she had gotten out of a breakup, a really bad breakup. And I guess there's a psychic that everybody's like, you got to go see her, she's like, fucking amazing, she knows everything, whatever. She went to the psychic and the psychic literally told her when she was going to meet the next guy, how she's going to beat him and that this was going to be her husband and that they were going to have two kids and they're both gonna be

daughters or whatever and it all it all turned out I'm serious it all turned out that way the this person is probably like artificial intelligence You know what I mean so I have a I have a theory on this and have you guys ever had an experience? I've had lots of people Exactly what you said, lots and lots. In fact, Katrina's family, we were literally just this weekend, her niece went to a medium and had her share all the stuff with her and she was blown away by how on point everything she was.

I talked to somebody maybe six months before that, sharing a very similar story. So I've been around it a lot. And my theory on it is this, I don't necessarily believe in psychics. What I do believe, is I believe the mind is way more powerful than we think it is. And we're still learning about how powerful it is.

And it's amazing when you put thoughts into your head, whatever they may be, good, bad or indifferent, how much more control you have of your life and your life's outcome than you think you do. And I think that to me, psychics prove more of that than they really prove that there's this clear point. Proven the art of persuasion. Right. Like they've mastered it. Right.

And I think that, I think there definitely is a much, there's a skill that comes with these psychics, I think, and I think that a lot of that is like Justin just said is the power of persuasion. And I think if you tell me enough that I'm a good boy and I'm smart and I'm a good boy and I'm smart and I'm a good boy and I'm smart, I must be a good boy. It doesn't elope.

And I'm smart, you know, like it's amazing. And then if you have people on the other side that get told these things over and over how they're stupid and they're not a bad boy and they're stupid in their bad boy, then they grow up and guess what, they end up being stupid in a bad boy. And is that because that person predicted that was that person's life?

Or they offended it in there? And they really believed it as you were telling it. Well, I'll tell you what, here's what's interesting about this is that a couple of things. One, our own government invested quite a bit of money. The Stargate was a man who started goats. Which doesn't mean shit to me, because our government will invest in any chance possible. Well, especially to find the lost art. Especially during the Cold War, right, when they were like, let's just see any edge.

But what's interesting is some of these studies, which you could debate whether the studies were well done or not, but some of these studies showed that with remote viewing, for example, they had a statistically better odds of getting the right answer than just random. And this has been done in a few studies where people will test it.

Because you think psychics should be very easy to test, right? It should be easy. Like, oh, you think your psychic come in here and prove it. And that has yet to happen. It has yet to happen where someone actually solidly proves that they're a psychic. But there is strange phenomena that we observe in science that is kind of weird. Like, they've shown that people can kind of sense when someone's staring at them.

You guys are, I feel like someone's staring at you and you look and they are. Some studies show that that might actually be kind of a real thing. Then there's also a blind site, which is kind of interesting, which we didn't discover. We just discovered not that long ago where people will have a stroke in the visual cortex

of the brain. So that part of the brain is dead. So they're effectively blind, fully functioning eyeballs and everything, but they don't see anything because the brain doesn't perceive sight. Yet when shown pictures of faces, the viewer will mimic the face that they're looking at, even though they can't see it. So the scientists call it blind sight. Like, there's some other parts of the brain

that are perceiving sight aside from the visual cortex. And when they do these tests on these people in an FRMRI machine, they do in fact see other parts of the brain lighting up whenever a face is being displayed in front of them. Wow, they're mimicking it with their expression and everything. Yeah, and it's 100% it's called blind sight. You can look it up.

It's a real thing. And of course, the scientists, you know, they'll go back and say, well, you know, a huge part of our evolution was, you know, looking at faces, facial recognition. Yeah, facial recognition takes up a huge part of the brain. So it's really, there's a lot of interesting things that we start to, like here's another one,

synesthesia, you know, this is where, and there's real cases of interesting things that we start to, like here's another one, synesthesia. This is where, and there's real cases of this where people will see sounds or they'll smell sites. If you say a number to them, they'll get a sensation. It's a real psychological phenomenon. Sometimes, it happens to normal everyday people when they take a psychedelic like you know people talk about Hmm They'll they'll take LSD and then they'll send they'll see the music coming out of the speakers and stuff

So this is also like when somebody gets an accident and I've heard somebody like like all of a sudden could play like classical music Because it unlocked a certain part of their brain or or somebody will get an accident and they'll get a brain trauma or something and then all of a sudden become artists or extremely good at math or they speak with a Russian accent or something like they've never... This is real. This is a trip. It's really weird stuff. So, you know, I don't know if I necessarily believe in the magic of the psychic ability,

but I do think that there's way more than we understand. And if we look at, I mean, here I'm gonna start stretching, now I'm gonna go for a real deep stretch here. It time, as experienced by us, is in this linear fashion, past, present, future. We experience it like we do on a clock. That's how we perceive time.

But science tells us that time doesn't really work that way. Time, space time, or connected together, and it can be moved, it can be bending, and it can be warped, you could slow time down, you could speed it up. I mean, the clocks on the satellites that are orbiting the Earth that give us the directions on our GPS have to account for the fact that they're moving at a certain speed and at a different gravitational pull. So their clocks actually...

Time is different, the further out in space you get. If we took, this is an experiment that would actually be true. If we took a twin of yours and put them on a rocket that sped off at the speed of light and came back 30 years later, you'd be 30 years older, your twin would barely have aged at all. So all this, you know, this points the fact that time isn't what we think it is. So perhaps the psychic is perceiving things and what we might think is the future, but

in reality, they're just perceiving things outside of the perception or realm of time that we think. And so maybe that's how you can explain to me. Everybody joints down. You know, so I that's how you can explain to me. Everybody put your joints down. Okay. You know, so I think this kind of stuff is really cool. I find it that I listen to it all the time. My girl's family is 100% around it in it. And I'm definitely open mind enough of a person

to actually sit and listen to it. I'm definitely not enough of a person or I'm not enough into it to where I would waste my time going to try and get a reading like it's because to me like I think nothing is going to dictate the outcome of our lives than ourselves and our choices that we make and I would hate for a psychic to tell me something that didn't align with my personal goals. You're never going to be successful at them. I'm sorry. You're just psyched. Right.

Seriously, like that. Fuck with your big test. Yeah, yeah, we're totally mess with me. So I have no desire to even roll the dice and think, is this a good psychic or is this some bullshitter? And the risk of potentially getting some bullshitter who gives me some information that I definitely don't want to hear. And then I have the attitude like, well, fuck it. I'm going to be a loser anyways. Why should I even be trying today? potentially getting some bullshitter who gives me some information that I definitely don't want to hear.

And then I have the attitude like, well, fuck it. I'm going to be a loser anyways. Why should I even be trying today? I don't show up to work the next day. You guys are like, where's Adam? I tell you what a lot of successful psychics are good at. Because there's some psychics out there that make a lot of money and celebrities will seek them out. They're really, really, really, really good at reading very subtle body cues and language to where they can tell you things about,

and they're very good with their language. There was that one psychic on TV that would call people out of the audience and be like, I see a name, it's John, J, J, whatever, and a person like, oh, yeah, it's my eyes, my dad. If they get excited and they're like, oh, I'm hon'm holding on this person. People want to believe in this kind of shit.

Like, like your, like your horoscope. Like, it's been proven time and time again that the horoscope predictions are bullshit, but people will read their sign and be like, make it general, a generic enough, you know, somebody's. Yeah. This is what I was the type of stuff that I feel psychics do a really good job of.

When I hear the readings of psych, it's a lot of times it reminds me the readings of horoscopes. It's like you give, if you give somebody, because you rarely, and I, at least I've never heard this, I have never heard someone. If psychics were that true too, right, you would hear this. Now I've heard a ton of readings, just like you said, hey, I have no person has ever came back and told me, dude, the psychic told me that I'm gonna be broke and that I'm gonna marry somebody ugly and I'm gonna have, but that shit happens in real life. People go broke, people, people, people marry ugly people.

This happens in real life. So why does the psychic never tell anybody that? It's the same thing like a horoscope. You never open your horoscope and it says like, today is going to suck for you, stay indoors. Like no one ever sees that in a horoscope. it's always like, they see your hand is like tan a little bit and then it's like, you know, like a little bit white where your ring used to be like, oh, I see, you know, it used to be in the long term, a lation shit.

Right, right, right. Like, oh shit. Well, they see all your gray hair and they're all stressed out. You probably have kids. Yeah, like when you're in your eyes. You're probably not sleeping that much. And you know, how did you know that? Right, yeah, yeah. I feel like they tell you shit that's,

they're good at reading all those subtle things. They take, they, or like the past life regression psychics, like they're always someone famous. You know what I mean? Like, oh my God, in your past life. You were a great leader. It's never so bad.

It's never so bad. It's never some bullshit like, oh, in a past life. You were a great leader. Why did people wanna like, associate themself with that so bad? It's never some bullshit like, oh, in the past life. You're a great war. Yeah, you were a Chinese peasant. Yeah, that's all. Yeah, what else? I'll tell you what, if you're a bad ass psychic

and you're getting irritated with us right now and you wanna prove us wrong, I'd fucking think it would be awesome. Well, they already knew this was happening. That's true. I don't need to say the rest. You want to do. Yes, just eat.

Yes, try email, Brianna. What am I thinking? Email, Brianna, you'll be on the show. Yeah, you know exactly what I'm about here. That's the guarantee, you don't know. It's like what you're a tea. You walk into the psychic office and like, why are you here?

And you're like, I don't know, tell me. Why am I here? Yeah, just give them nothing. What's your name? I don't know, tell me. My name is, I'm not gonna pay. That would be fun. I would be totally open to do that. Yeah, just give him nothing. What's your name? I don't know, tell him my name is. I'm not gonna pay. That would be fun.

I would be totally open to do that. Yeah, exactly. Doug, when is this airing? Because I would like to talk about the Thursday. Thursday. It's over. It's over, huh? It's over.
