Why you gotta wear it and you gotta weird look on his face? Yeah, you know what that looks like? I still, I don't understand. I don't understand. I'm just like working outside. That's the look of dominance. So the only thing here it is.

Starting point is 00:07:54 Let's talk about the positives and the negatives of having an 18 inch stick. Are there any, well, they're okay, there are some positives. There are positive, number one, I don't care what group of men you're around. You have the biggest thing. It's always, it's the only thing. It's the only thing. And you know it.

Starting point is 00:08:08 And there gives you, there's a different swag you have when you know that. Of course. Well, think about this. You're talking with the group of guys. Everybody's talking shit. One guy's like, I make, I got a Ferrari and something like that. Oh, you got to do this. I got the Nobel Peace Prize.

Starting point is 00:08:19 I got the biggest day. You just pull it out. You know, like you win still. You beat that guy. You pull it out, put it on the you win still. You beat that guy. You pull it out, put it on the floor. Yeah, take a look at that. Instant dominance.

Starting point is 00:08:29 That's number one. That's a good thing. Number two. I solved cancer, you know. I got a big deck. I can't think of any other positives though. Yeah, there isn't a lot because let's be honest, most women would be very turned off by that.

Starting point is 00:08:42 Like it's too much. I don't know if they'd be turned off. And I know there's a couple of them. They would like There's a dozen of slats that are listening right now. Oh not me baby But for the most part most women would be like a foot and a half dick is too much thick They would want to see they'd like look from afar You know what I mean? Like you can get all up dude. I just really scary. I just realized something He only ever puts the tip in you know that old trick you played when you're you know

Starting point is 00:09:03 We first are dating. Let me put this How fresh the holy ever does how frustrating yeah. You know that old trick you played when you're, you know, when you first started dating, let me put this thing. That's the only ever does. How frustrating, yeah. If you're that guy too. Well, yeah, you can't ever go all in. The other question I have is, can you get a, can you get an erection? Like a full erection, right?

Starting point is 00:09:15 It'd be too much weight. Well, I can't do it. I can do it. No, I think it's probably like two corners, like, you know, there's no way. You said too much weight, but then it lifts itself. Then what I was saying is the blood loss, like would you get dizzy?

Starting point is 00:09:29 Think of the drop in blood. Definitely get fatigued. You know what I'm saying? To fill it out quicker. Yeah, that's gonna be a least prioritized for a court to blood right there. Where's the blood gonna come from? Anyway, I'm gonna lose feeling in one arm.

Starting point is 00:09:43 I'm sure you're prone to work. Probably. Probably. Yeah, I'm gonna lose feeling in one arm. I'm sure you're prone to probably. Probably. Yeah, anyway. Where did you come, what are articles are you reading to come across stuff like this? I was trying to see how normal I am. You know, I said apparently I'm,

Starting point is 00:09:54 I'm just kidding. Somebody sent it to me, which is even weirder. Somebody DM me this article. That's fine right there. Yeah, somebody DM me this article, so I shared it in my answer story. And it's true. Look at that.

Starting point is 00:10:04 There's an x-ray of what is a CT scan of his of his junk? Whoa That's a that's a lot of yeah, it's a lot of recruitment there anyway. Anyway, I had a good time with you guys at Discovery Bay Yeah, man. I like that. I like that place. What is that area anyway? It's it's the probably the nicest homes they have built in the Delta Hmm and the Delta is kind of like weren't right. It's not like the nicest homes they have built in the Delta. And the Delta's kinda like, it's not like the nicest piece of water. How far does it go?

Starting point is 00:10:29 It was all the way to... It was the ocean. Okay. Yeah, yeah, it taps into the ocean. So there are ocean taps in the heavy one, okay. So it's literally like a big canal. It's like all these canals. Canal?

Starting point is 00:10:41 Yeah, canal. Canal. Yeah, you're saying it like Chanel with a K, but it's not canal, canal. It's canal canal. Can I say I said canal canal? Yeah, you said canal Remember this guy Lucky guy, I think now he just looks for him. Yeah, he's like here's a 50 shot He's gonna make a word right here, and he's like trying to be the first one to catch it He's gonna make up a word right here. And he's like trying to be the first one to catch it. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:04 Whoa, what's it say that one more time? Cunelo. Say it one more time. Yeah, so it's not like really sexy, but Discovery Bay, they've built all these beautiful, you know, multi-million dollar homes. Monster homes. Yeah, on the water.

Starting point is 00:11:19 And it's a little area that's really nice. My buddy just bought a house over there. It's a really cool place. And you know, he's got a boat dock right there. So so you just pull your boat right up there cruise all over the place So it's it's a nice area where we were at. I mean the rest of the delta is kind of like. Yeah, it's all right I just have fun, man Because we get together and then with the goal of creating new things and yeah, it's a great state of love It's a great state of flow. It's probably my favorite thing that we do.

Starting point is 00:11:45 It's always fun for me to see because we've now done so many different homes where we go to is like which one creates the most. You know, like where did we get like the most creative or the most productive. I'd have to say, you know, the last trip was pretty fucking productive. Dude, we put together some new stuff. I mean, I thought Reno was the magical one forever. I agree. And this one actually, I don't know, you know, hot. No, when you think about not only what we created, but then also just the little things

Starting point is 00:12:16 that we got to touch on with the business, I never realized how important it was. I remember when I got back, I told Katrina, I said, you know, we're going to have to make this a regular monthly thing. And the reason why is because, you know, we're going to have to make this a regular monthly thing. And the reason why is because, you know, we didn't have to record anything that day. We didn't have to record any podcasts. We don't have to do any YouTube. So it truly gave us an entire. And we're out of the studio. Yeah, we're out of the studio. So 48 hours of not thinking about the day-to-day stuff and like really evaluating our business and saying, okay, what's going well? What are we doing really good? What are we, what do we see that we're fault? We're failing on, where can we be better?

Starting point is 00:12:46 And just the whole conversation nonstop was about all these things that I felt like we needed to do a dress. And I know we have our minutes meeting and stuff like that. And that seems like we, we talk about that. But that seems to me more like it's future stuff, like where we want to be or taking care of, like pressing issues that we need to sign,

Starting point is 00:13:02 something or whatever. But this allows us to be in a creative environment where we can be very creative about the business and then also can start to address. It helps you look at it differently too. Right, so it's like you see the same things, like constantly in the same environment, but yeah, this always helps you to kind of look

Starting point is 00:13:18 a little bit higher from a different angle, and then it starts to kind of help fill a lot of those holes. So you just wait, you just wait listeners, we got some news for you. Yeah. You just wait. Just we were all fired. His tagline, we're going to fill them holes. We're going to fill them holes.

Starting point is 00:13:33 He definitely was the one who came up with that one. Yeah. We're going back and we're trying to figure out who came in with each one. I was like, you know what, that is definitely just, he just used that line. I didn't hurt them before. Did you guys, so you guys, you guys saw that, that Instagram post I did, right, where I talked about, this is when, right when they, when they passed

Starting point is 00:13:49 the new tax cuts. I think I blocked you last week, so since then I haven't seen you ever. You haven't seen me. So I did a post on the tax cuts that they had passed, which were massive, it's one of the biggest tax cuts. Oh yeah, so. In decades, 230 comments.

Starting point is 00:14:04 Woo! Underneath it. Wow. Just, I didn't know people would get angry over getting more of their own money. It's a weirdest fucking thing. You know what I, bizarre? I resommered.

Starting point is 00:14:13 I go on both of you guys' pages, and I read the comments when I have, this is not all the time, like when I get a chance I do this. And there seems to be a type of person that comments on each of our pages that's different than the others. There's like, we have like some people

Starting point is 00:14:27 that talk to all of us all the time, but there's obviously certain people that gravitate towards each of our pages, right? Yeah. And Sal definitely gets, he's got a large, and I'm gonna insult all your followers right now, they're gonna yell at us.

Starting point is 00:14:39 I just don't wanna lose like some. All the salvians. No, that they, I feel like, because they know he's like the, he's the one who remembers all these studies he's the super intellect over here they love to like won't they kind of it's like they wanted they want to when you being a big guy when you walk in a bar you see everybody can size you up it's like everyone's kind of sizing him up. Yeah, that's what I feel like your page is on like picking Sal will say something on there fucking put in the bait out there and here come all the other intellects or

Starting point is 00:15:07 or or something that's want to be intellects yeah put their two cents in it's really like let me see if I can handle this the worst is like the person that'll read something like some click bait like article or something like oh I totally know about this subject

Starting point is 00:15:22 good to know I'm writing something you're wrong big mistake right right no I couldn't believe how many people were it's so crazy how and be like, oh, I totally know about this subject. I'm writing something. You're wrong. Big mistake, right. No, I couldn't believe how many people were, it's so crazy how shit gets spun so much, like the media will spin things, to the point where people are actually mad

Starting point is 00:15:36 that there's tax cuts, how weird is that? You're gonna get more of your own money. Remember when I was, I was so, it's so fucking crazy. I was having a conversation with one of my best friends and like he was upset about it before or it was, he was pessimistic about it. He's like, I'm gonna end up paying more.

Starting point is 00:15:51 I know it's for the rich. Let me put it in the calculator real quick. It's not gonna work out the way that it says on paper. He ended up with like a seven year old saying that. He ended up with the savings. Yeah, some like, which is hilarious. Some like 80% of the tax savings

Starting point is 00:16:06 or whatever go to middle class people. Most people are gonna make money. Not to mention big business, you know, when they paid less of their taxes to the government, they spend their money, how they see fit, and they typically spend it better than bureaucrats do. Just the way it is, but people were so, it's so funny how people get angry over that.

Starting point is 00:16:23 How do you get angry over that? Well, I thought for sure, when people get angry about things like that, especially when you're talking about like economics, it's like the same thing when people get angry with nutrition. It's irrational. To me, that's your first flag you have an issue.

Starting point is 00:16:34 Like, if you get angry over it, like if you get angry over something like that, like that, if it triggered you, like, hello, you got an issue here. Like, whether you like it or not, it is, or also it wouldn't trigger you. Otherwise, you could just have an intelligent conversation back and forth.

Starting point is 00:16:47 But if you get angry over some shit, it's like, you just give yourself away. Oh, I love that. I love the discussion. Yeah, I love the discussion we have. No, I'm excited. And I like when you put stuff like that because one of the things I really, really appreciate

Starting point is 00:17:00 that you do, and I feel like all of us do. If anyone goes off the handle, the most probably me who crosses line. But I think you do a really good job of going back and forth in a healthy debate with people where a lot of people that are reading the conversation benefit from it. Because you allow the other person to explain themselves, it doesn't turn into a name calling thing. It's, I'm going to challenge this person and let's keep going back and forth. And I love that. And some people think it's like, you know, you have this one side of people that think it's oh, it's stupid and why do you even engage?

Starting point is 00:17:33 But it's like, no, I think when you do it with the intent that we do most of the time, which is all, all engaged in a good intelligent conversation with someone, someone talking shit, it's like, I'm not going to waste my time with. But if you have, if you're calling it, it's calling something out and you want to get into a conversation, like like let's do it So people can run you a little bit to where you know your sources are in like you know Maybe I learned a mission from and yeah exactly like give me more details like if you can't provide more details And you just want to see now like this way

Starting point is 00:18:03 Nutrition and politics dude nutrition politics and religion? Well, it's because, because it's so, I can't just discuss it. Because there's a lot of information out there that's designed to sway your opinion and it's clever, the way they say it. For example, if you hear people who say that they're opposed to tax cuts,

Starting point is 00:18:21 they'll say they're opposed to tax cuts because they'll say, oh, the wealthy are just getting into the break. So in other words, they'll say they're opposed to tax cuts because they'll say, oh, the wealthy are just getting another break. So in other words, they're upset that they're not getting something and someone else is. So that's the thing that's getting tapped into with that. Now someone could argue and say, we're going to have more debt, which is an intelligent, that's an intelligent point. And there is validity to that. But the whole like, but the rich are getting a break. Are you paying more? Oh, you're not, but they are getting more back. Why is that a bad thing? So I asked questions because I want to know what people think and what the problem,

Starting point is 00:18:54 what's the real problem, not just what you're told the problem is. And one of them is, you know, understanding that whenever you collect taxes, it's a, you're automatically destroying wealth every single time you do that. Just from the simple act of collecting it and then having a bureaucracy to handle it and then redistribute it somehow, that costs money by itself. So you collect $1,000, even if you do it as efficiently as you can, you've already destroyed wealth just in that collection and redistribution process. So that alone destroys wealth. So when I try to explain that to people,

Starting point is 00:19:25 it starts to make more sense, but it's, it's, it's, there, nutrition, religion, religion, we base everything off of how, right now we base everything off of how it directly affects us,

Starting point is 00:19:33 which is not like true economics, dude, not if you're the global economics, we're looking at how we're gonna affect the entire country and the world, like my personal income and how it affects me should not be the only thing that dictates whether I'm pro or anything also. Well, here's a, so just because it might hurt my taxes 100 up or down, whatever that may be. Like to me, those are all arbitrary numbers because what really fucking matters is what it potentially could do for the economy.

Starting point is 00:19:57 And hopefully that in turn maybe it doesn't pay me right now, but hopefully it pays me in three or five years when we actually get it. Well, that's a fundamental question. Do you, who do you think spends money the best? Do you think a, an individual entity or organization that has, that didn't earn it and has no consequences for wasting it, spends it better than the person who earned it and who pays the consequences of spending it poorly? Who do you think is going to spend it better? Now, I, I, I'll all day long.

Starting point is 00:20:23 Yeah, but a lot of people don't understand what that means. I think, because people don't understand the Federal Reserve and how we do with money and how we reprint money. They don't understand how they, how the government doesn't pay for it. If I give, so if you had 10 grand, if I give you $10,000 and I say to you, go to Vegas and gamble this,

Starting point is 00:20:38 and by the way, whatever you lose, I'll replace, you're going to gamble differently than if it was your $10,000 and if you lost it, you lost it. It's just a different decision-making process. So when people keep more of their money, they tend to spend it better than when someone else takes that money from them and pays no consequences for fucking it up. And that's why you get lots of waste. So you can make the argument all day long about, what are they gonna spend it on?

Starting point is 00:21:05 And whatever they spend it on, it's typically better than what someone else is gonna spend that other person's money on. Well, I used the example of my buddy, and I said, I know this is all anecdotal because it's our own personal business. But if those new tax laws save us, let's say hypothetically a hundred to $200,000 a year,

Starting point is 00:21:22 like that's not going out and buying me a Lamborghini. Now I have this money I can reinvest into staffing, which we need so bad, which is the number one thing that you need when you need a scale. So it would be people, which would be more jobs. And more money going into someone who actually now has more money, could now go spend it and this makes more sense. But let's even go back, let's go back a few,

Starting point is 00:21:41 let's go back a few seconds. And I know someone's going like, oh, that's not how everybody, yeah, I know it's not how every company was. There's going to be some greedy CEO that puts it all in his pocket. But that's the point. It doesn't have to be, it doesn't matter.

Starting point is 00:21:50 So let's say you did take that extra $100,000 and you went and bought yourself a new brand, new Corvette, expensive Corvette. There's people that make that car. There's a company that produces that car. There are people who are employed to produce that car. There are people who make the tires in that car. There are people that, you know, make the gas that goes in the car.

Starting point is 00:22:07 Like, it's still not bad. It's still still. Because it looks like an expensive car and you think yourself like, oh, that's a waste of, it still is something that needs to be produced by other people and kept up by other people. Well, what would then some people will say,

Starting point is 00:22:21 well, what if they just took that money and just threw it in the bank then and didn't give it to anybody? That's where your, that's where the investments come from. You know, the money that goes in the bank doesn't just sit there. That's very important money for the economy. That's how loans come from.

Starting point is 00:22:33 That's where investment comes from. So it's a fundamental belief. Do you think bureaucracy will spend money better than the people who earn it and who pay the price for spending it poorly? Who do you think's gonna spend it better? That's the fundamental question. Then there's a moral question.

Starting point is 00:22:48 You earned it. Why shouldn't you keep more of what you earn? That's the moral question as well. But that's a discussion. Now we can have an intellectual discussion, but not the whole like, well, he gets a cut and I don't. So what?

Starting point is 00:22:58 Yeah. You should too, everybody should. The argument shouldn't be, he shouldn't. The argument should be, I also should. Yeah, he's gonna say, yeah, yeah. It's weird. It is weird. Well, he shouldn't. The argument should be, I also should. Yeah. He's gonna say, it's weird. It is weird. Well, like I said, it gets back in,

Starting point is 00:23:09 it's like a, you know, politics, religion, nutrition, all three of them, you get the same type of, somebody identifies with something, and a lot of times it's, something with one of those three things has impacted their life significantly, or somebody close to them significantly,

Starting point is 00:23:23 that now they identify with that. So with politics, it's very common that you see somebody who doesn't even have a side, they stand on very much until something, you know, affects them to where they lose a job or they can't get a surgery, you know, or they get the weight in line for something, or something, fucks them personally. And now they become, they then are now emotional over the decision. And now all of their research, everything that they look for is to confirm what they're already angry about, and now you become

Starting point is 00:23:51 this zealot. You know, you get to become into this person, it's so dogmatic and attach themselves. I feel the same, I see the same thing with religion, I see it with nutrition, nutrition, you get somebody who is, you know, seen results for the free nutrition and working out, they find something that works really good for them, changes their life, they're in the best shape of their life,

Starting point is 00:24:08 they've never felt like this. They're evangelists. Right, now they fucking identify with just that way of training or just that way of eating. It's no fucking different. Politics, religion, nutrition, all of them people get like. Yeah, it's crazy. It's like if somebody said, I don't eat wheat

Starting point is 00:24:23 because I feel so much better. My skin's clear, I've lost weight. And then someone else comes out with a study and says, oh, you know, wheat's not a problem. Everybody, you know, wheat isn't cause issues. And then the other person gets pissed off. First off, it doesn't change the fact that you feel better without it.

Starting point is 00:24:37 So what the fuck's the difference if a study says, you see what I'm saying? Right, right. But yeah, there's that whole identification process and it prevents good debate and discussion. And you know, it's funny, social media is encouraging that so much, man. You go, you scroll through your feed.

Starting point is 00:24:53 I start seeing articles about shit I wanna read. That's when I know I need to start liking other stuff. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like I wanna read the opposite because it can't be all what I can. Well, I speculated that this is gonna be one of the greatest challenges going forward in the next 10 years or so is this generation coming up That's already it's already it's already formulated for them. Yeah, they already by time they fall in around forever

Starting point is 00:25:14 Right, it's just information like exactly what they're into with the like it's feet right up to so it'll it'll it'll be interesting to see what what things come out to help It'll be interesting to see what things come out to help that generation coming up to find things that conflicts with their already their beliefs or what they've been reading already like or you're gonna have to go somewhere to research that Some smart guy will come up with some algorithm that like okay, all the things that you like here's the Challenger, there's the opposite page. Oh shit, then you got trust somebody to do that for you. Yeah, right. What are you guys doing for New Year's, by the way? Yeah, I'm going down to pick up a new puppy. Oh shit.

Starting point is 00:25:51 So, yeah. What kind of dog? What kind of dog? Before the New Year, a whimerainer. Yeah, because my other one passed last year, so. That was, it was one of those things in my wife. It was, it's actually almost a year, exactly, right? When we did the Paul Check episode, I don't know if people even knew because I didn't

Starting point is 00:26:07 talk about it but yeah that like my dad my dog got hit by a car like that day did the kids know you're getting another dog yeah no they know we told them like Christmas they're all pumped yeah what do you guys name it so my wife came up Arlo and I was like that's cool Arlo Arlo Arlo and I was like, that's cool. Arlo? Arlo. Arlo and me. Yeah. Is that a movie? Yeah, it's either a movie or a book. Yeah. I've really seen that.

Starting point is 00:26:29 Yeah. Yeah. There's a my lo and me. There's a Marlo or Arlo. My it's Marlo. It sounds like it. But yeah, like that. Some like that.

Starting point is 00:26:37 I could be totally wrong. So you guys, that's what you're doing on Christmas Eve. Yeah. So on Christmas Eve, you're going to go grab a dog. Uh, no, that's what we're doing the next two days. Hmm, so yeah. You gotta drive hell far for it. Yeah, so here you go.

Starting point is 00:26:50 Oh, all the way down there. Yeah, we pick it up from the breeder. Can you fly it back? I mean, you could, but then it's like, you know, the trauma and all that, you know, like my friend actually had them like, creating like, basically fly it from the breeder from like Kansas to his house. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:06 Which, you know, the dog was like super like skittish forever. So I saw that and I was like, yeah. One of those dogs bred for what's the, what's the history of the breed? Hunting. It's hunting. Uh, yeah. Hunting, yeah. Well, kind of like a bird dog.

Starting point is 00:27:19 Oh, yeah, yeah. Like, fesinstance. Is there, they're, they're first supposed to be, is it waterproof? Um, or water resistant? It's, I'm sure it is, yeah. Is there, their fur is supposed to be, is it waterproof or water resistant? It's, I'm sure it is. Yeah, because they like to squint. Short area. Yeah, they're always in the water.

Starting point is 00:27:30 I don't know what that never heard that. What are, what are Bulldogs bred to hunt? They're for hurting bulls, bro. Hurtin bulls. No, not the England, not the one you have. You're talking about the way they used to learn. Well, that's all part of, it's like saying you're not full Italian because you don't have the same, not the one you have. You're talking about the way they used to look. Well, that's all part of them. It's like saying you're not full Italian

Starting point is 00:27:46 because you don't have the same, it seems to. Well, no, I look like, bro. A modern, like the English bulldog you have does not, looks nothing like the bulldog. It does too. They stretched out, they're taller and longer. Yeah. You're not as agile.

Starting point is 00:28:01 You're not as big as the old Greek gods and say, you know what I'm saying, dude? It's like the same thing, bro. You get to claim a tell you and do it in all the Italian great traits. So my English bulldogs get to have all the great fuckers. No, the original bullbating dogs were like taller and like more like the American bulldog.

Starting point is 00:28:17 Yeah. Yeah. Yours was like American bulldog crossed with an English bulldog that was kind of like with the old bulldog. Yeah, because your dogs bred to be just cute. Yeah. I mean, that's what they're bred for, right? To be honest, Mal, this is how cute it is.

Starting point is 00:28:29 They're not, you know what I mean? They're bred to be like, no, no. The NAR lovers, they're definitely, they're definitely, you know, family dogs. They can be around kids. They're like squeezing their dogs. Yeah, no, they're definitely like, how are they with kids? Really good, actually. Bentley gets a little excited and he's he doesn't know

Starting point is 00:28:45 his own weight. So there'll be times where he goes like lick a kid's face and he'll send the kid back like four or five feet. So I do get a little nerve and if the kids energy is really high, so like the dogs pick up on the energy, right? I'm always trying to teach Katrina this too. And she fucking dog start fighting. She starts screaming getting scared too. I'm like that just heightens the whole fucking situation. I'm like you get to control and be the alpha when that happens. So anyways, the dog, when kids come in, if

Starting point is 00:29:08 their energy is really high and they're like, ah, screaming and yelling and like, hitting the dog and running and so that, they think they'll want to play with them and they'll elevate and then when they go to jump on them and so that, they'll send the kid flying. Did you get them fixed? No. You didn't. So they got full. They got balls. They're fully loaded. I want my dogs that. We got balls. They're fully loaded. I want my doubts at this. All our second though, but then it's just the two of them. So they just, prison love.

Starting point is 00:29:29 They don't really get a chance to. No, and they don't, they don't bang each other. They don't like, like if one of them tries to get on the other one, they, ooh, gets, it gets, it gets, maybe because you're around now. Oh, maybe. Maybe when you're not around. Maybe.

Starting point is 00:29:39 I have cameras though, so. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You never know. Yeah. Well, I've seen them, I've've definitely seen him one of them attempt on the other one one of them's in heat the or one of them's fucking horny whatever is ends up what girls are in heat right so whenever one of them wants wants to he'll try and mount the other

Starting point is 00:29:56 one and they end up getting in a fight so frustrated you got to get him some some dog to get some dog things they know they when we travel a lot when we travel we take them over the doggy hotel and there's plenty of chicks. When we travel, we take them over to the doggie hotel and there's plenty of chicks over there from the gym. Do they really get to banging other dogs when they're over there? I'm sure. I'm just smelling.

Starting point is 00:30:11 Personally, I think she's not supposed to, but I'm sure she does let them because there are, that's our breeder, and they have great genes, and it would be great to get free sperm from my dog, and I'm not gonna say otherwise if he's over there having a good time. Are they super relaxed and cool when you get back? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:27 So they probably are. Totally banging. Yeah. They're all there. I'm providing free sperm right now for some of these dogs. They're going to the most. I get, I think you get paid 27 or 3 grand for that plus the what?

Starting point is 00:30:40 Yeah. That's three, but they have to successfully impregnate for just three grand a show. Right. So a lot of times they do that or the price of the dog, like one dog. Yeah, but they have to successfully impregnate for just three grand a show. Right, right. So a lot of times they do that or the price of the dot, like one dog. So you as a stud, if you're the male, if you have the the meal, if you own the male

Starting point is 00:30:52 and you stud them out to like someone like that, it's normally the price of the dog's worth or the first, you're a pick of the litter. And so it's what we could be setting that up. You know, it's bulldogs having sex, it's gotta be hilarious. Yeah. It's not that weird. Yeah, theredogs having sex, it's gotta be hilarious. Yeah. It's not that weird.

Starting point is 00:31:05 Yeah, there are two big, big balls. Yeah. A lot of sounds. Yeah, lots of like gutter old music. I used to have a, I used to have a pug and he was, you would have a pug. Oh, a pug, it's so cute.

Starting point is 00:31:18 You could go a pug guy. He was very strange. He was, Is there a watch of men in black? Bro, he used to sit in the sun and he just sit and stare up in the sun So I just call him philosopher because he just I feel like he's thinking about some shit, right? And I just go in deep you know, I mean like he's just like me

Starting point is 00:31:32 Yeah, he's going deeper. Where did he throw that this was he really throwing a stick? Oh, he's taking out but the other thing too is he was easily the horniest dog I've ever seen my entire life easily the horniest dog I've ever any dog that came over my house, he would relentlessly hump. And when I say relentless, I'd have to like separate them and then he loses breath and get as much shit. Because really? Yes. He was just so crazy. How long he lived? We ended up having to give him away to a friend of ours. Do you know if he's still alive? Yeah. Yeah, he's still alive. He's like hump like really big dogs too. It didn't matter who's, it didn't matter what dog was there. That's hilarious.

Starting point is 00:32:07 Watch the little dog. I'm trying to climb up some big dogs. He was male, female, big, small, whatever man. He was just, see my boys, my boys want to hump when that, when women come in, they can, you can smell the estrogen and they're all over girls. Yeah. They won't hump a guy's leg or anything like that,

Starting point is 00:32:22 but if there's a girl that's getting down to their level low, they'll be trying to jump on Really? I don't know. He tried to do me the other day Yeah, I'm just gonna let it just like it Yeah We're not the vibe That backfire Yeah, yeah

Starting point is 00:32:36 That was a backfire joke Yeah We're gonna go we're heading back to that discovery house for your new year. Yeah, we're heading up there with Nice house. No, it was cool. I liked it I mean I like houses like that they're big and open, you know, so I especially when we have a big family like hers Like there'll be 20 something people there at one point now do you guys get smashed her family drinks? Yeah, for sure you guys all you guys can get smashed to I don't know Are you saying like in general for new years? Yeah, no, I normally don't I normally don't this would be I if there was a time that I was watching the kids

Starting point is 00:33:10 I would this would probably be a time that I would hmm. Yeah, I don't I don't really enjoy getting smashed anymore too much Just a little bit, you know, yeah, no, I'd ever since we started drinking the Moscow meals before that Dude, I don't ever drink alcohol, but those actually sit well in my stomach. Yeah, I can have three four them fuckers at just a mix and I feel good Justin you're getting good at that by the way. They are really they are really honing on that I think you know, it's funny. I want to make like a we talked about a recipe guide or a book or whatever That let's make a drink, but I want I was thinking like I don't want it to be just purely healthy like I wish Like a mind public so like things like that, fringe, like. Yeah, like the Moscow Mules, and I had these,

Starting point is 00:33:47 oh man, I had these apple pie, Katrina made these apple pie treats that were so good. And there, there's nothing really healthy about them. They're less bad, and some of them, like it was their flower list, and they didn't take a ton of sugar, and there's an apple in the middle and cinnamon. So it's like, they weren't like over the top bad

Starting point is 00:34:06 and they actually upset my stomach. I tried a few of them. So I'd like to do some things like that in our recipe. But we're just making alcoholic beverages like Organified Green Juice or something like that. Yeah, you know what I mean? Well, we got those thrive market cups for the corporate

Starting point is 00:34:20 and some bread up there. We'll get all of our sponsors together. Yeah, we're gonna unite all the sponsors, make sure it all works out We already use I use a lot of organifi stuff Katrina and I go through that pretty quick man I we we use the green juice a lot have you brought you haven't brought any of them here yet the treats that you guys have you guys make so many No, I did I brought those ones that one. Oh, yeah, that's right. They were good. Yeah, I brought I brought those down here

Starting point is 00:34:44 Those were those are the cookies right so we were good. Yeah, I brought those down here. Those are the cookies, right? So we were making a lot of cookies heading into the hall. And that's what Soka Trina pretty much what we gave. She made these cute little like, you know, 10 foil bowl looking things that had like a ho-ho Santa Claus lid. And she baked cookies for all the, because we had so many families, we saw this trip. I mean, we probably saw at least 12 or 15, like,

Starting point is 00:35:05 you know, aunts and uncles and cousins and shit like that. So she made every family, you know, cookies and she packaged them in there and they're all the... Did they like them? Well, I haven't heard the feedback yet. They're really good. We gave them all out. We gave them all out.

Starting point is 00:35:17 So I knew yours will be back together. So we'll ask you, like, what do you think of the healthy cookies? So speaking of which, dude, I almost got found out, which I should have let myself get found out. It was a good opportunity, but you know, you put out cookies and milk for Santa. Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:35:29 So we did that at my house, right? And my daughter, she's eight years old, and she goes, Papa, why are we doing gluten-free? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Cookie Santa is just, Santa has some problem. Santa's got some problems. She goes, why are we doing gluten-free cookies

Starting point is 00:35:46 in coconut milk? And so I'm like, oh, I'm like, you know, coconut milk's got this kind of fat and it's real healthy, whatever. She was like, yeah, but you said regular milk's healthy too. She said, does he, I thought he drank like regular milk, like we do. And I'm like, what do I say now?

Starting point is 00:36:02 So I'm like, oh, I wanted to give him something a little different for whatever. And she could see her face her like her wheels are turning that's your milk motherfucker I'm saying come on dad we had we got out with it gluten-free sugar cookies and coconut milk so buddy you're like San is on a diet honey yeah it's healthier this year he barely fit down the chimney last year we didn't Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Bird, the magical bird.

Starting point is 00:37:12 Quee-qua-wee? Our first question is from Carter's Consumptions. Let's say one lacks proper levels of serotonin in their body and believes some of their fatigue, depression and digestion symptoms are caused by it. How would you go about upping those levels of serotonin naturally? Wouldn't you address probably sleep first? Well, I mean, we'll go there, but I'll tell you this much, your digestion is not caused

Starting point is 00:37:38 by it. Your digestion issues are probably part of the cause of feeling like you have low serotonin. So, there's a couple things you want to address here. The serotonin model is a little bit flawed. So we think, you know, serotonin is the answer to a lot of our problems. This makes us feel good. Yeah, we create, you know, selective serotonin reuptake inhibiting drugs, prozacus, like a common one we know about.

Starting point is 00:38:04 That increases circulating serotonin in the brain. We think that solves depression. In some cases, it seems to, in other cases, it doesn't seem to work well at all. So that all being known, can you cause yourself to have dysfunctional or serotonin issues, I should say, issues with both the serotonin receptors themselves because those can down regulate. So you may have normal levels of serotonin

Starting point is 00:38:31 but your serotonin receptors may be down regulated or have actual low serotonin levels or you're just depressed. Maybe your serotonin levels are fine but you still feel depressed. All of those issues I think can be improved upon with better digestion. Your gut actually produces the majority

Starting point is 00:38:48 of serotonin in your body. So your brain does produce some of it, but most of it's produced in the gut. There's a very, very strong connection. So would you recommend this person, like going to get a test first and seeing what could be going on with their gut or would you just be like,

Starting point is 00:39:02 would you give a generic probiotic, go eat these things, stay away from this? Fix your digestion. When you fix your digestion, you should notice improvements on all of those things. They're connecting now gut issues very strongly to depression, anxiety, other mental disorders. They're connecting gut issues to a lot of different issues, but in particular to mental issues. So I would say fix your gut first. And the protocol for that is the one that I always recommend.

Starting point is 00:39:31 Like eliminate processed foods, eliminate common food intolerances, start with that, eat good vegetables, healthy fats, don't avoid any macronutrient, specifically. So some people keto may help, but other people that may hurt. that's don't avoid any macronutrient, you know, specifically. So some people keto may help, but other people that may hurt. So I don't typically recommend going hardcore in any direction initially. If you do find that carbohydrates aggravate your digestive issues, then I would say avoid

Starting point is 00:39:57 those. Although too low of carbohydrates you're used to be to turn into serotonin as well. So that may even be an issue. So typically I'd say eat balanced and avoid foods that cause gut issues and start to heal your gut and you may start to notice improvements in depression. And then exercise. Exercise is one of the best things you could do for depression. In fact, when they do head to head studies with exercise versus antidepressant, you gotta get sleep too at one point. Sleep is huge.

Starting point is 00:40:25 If you've got someone who's complaining of fatigue and serotonin too, like I know you've got digestion and that could be causing a lot of things, but so could lack a sleep too. So if you're getting lack of or poor sleep, you know, every night and pushing high stress levels, some of those symptoms are all going to look really close as too. If you've got high stress a lot of times, you'll feel like you have digestive issues. You could have fatigue and depression going on. So stress could be a factor and sleep would definitely be an indicator of that.

Starting point is 00:40:51 So I'd look at it. I mean, how do you feel when you don't get good sleep? The next day. Right. You always feel terrible. And fatigue, you feel depressed. And that tends to compound over time as you have. And it's not just the sleep quantity,

Starting point is 00:41:03 it's also sleep quality. Yes. You know, I was talking to a family member last night at our party and she was telling me how she goes to bed at 9 p.m. and wakes up at 6 p.m. And so because we were talking about she was having some of these issues and I was telling her about sleep

Starting point is 00:41:21 and I said, well, sleep's her own portion. She was, oh, I go to bed every night at 9 p.m. And so all the time you get up, she goes, six a.m. So, she's like, okay, well, let's, let's plenty of sleep and say, well, how well do you sleep? And then the story changed. And she says, well, almost every single night. She's like, like, hours of the night.

Starting point is 00:41:35 Yeah, she's like, almost every night I wake up at least once and I'm wide awake and it takes me an hour or two. Isn't that interesting? A lot of people don't really associate that. Like, they think that they're, they're a total amount of hours. Well, when you're saying, I am getting eight hours of sleep. You also think you're normal? Interrupted the whole time.

Starting point is 00:41:51 You also think you're normal. I mean, I thought as a kid, I remember I slept on like a hand me down bed for most of my life and just was a taught. I tossed and turned all night long. Never could sleep. Never could sleep. And all of a sudden I get a nice bed when I got older and moved out. And all of a sudden I had like this, this sleep that I'd never even

Starting point is 00:42:12 thought I could have. I just thought I used to tell people like, oh, I'm a restless sleep. The drooling sleep. Right, right. I'm just a restless sleeper, you know. So a lot of times people don't realize that they don't have good sleep because they've never had it. And then they've gotten them by their whole life that way. And so they don't look at that. But yet they don't realize that they don't have good sleep because they've never had it and they say if they've gotten them by in their whole life that way and so they don't look at that but yet they don't realize that it could be a compounding thing that's been going on for 15, 20 years their life they've been having this rest of sleep and yeah sure didn't bother you when you were 22 but now that you're 35 and you've had kids and you got work and marriage and all this

Starting point is 00:42:41 other stress in your life now that fucking sleep lack of sleep is starting to catch up to you. So I think I always try and drive people now back that way is to kind of at least eliminate that first that's not potentially you because that could be causing a lot of these issues to you. I like to tell people to think of sleep like they would, like a good workout.

Starting point is 00:42:58 Like when you're gonna go, when you know you're gonna have a good workout, typically start your workout out with some kind of a priming session, a warm-up, mobility work, you have a bit of a routine that you do before your workout, whether that be drink a little caffeine or coffee, or have a pre-workout or whatever,

Starting point is 00:43:14 then you're finally ready, you've done your stretches, you've done your warm-up, you've done your priming, you're 15 minutes or 30 minutes or whatever, then you get into your workout and you have a great workout. Very rarely is it where you're at total rest and then you jump right into a hard workout. Well, sleep is similar in the sense that you're on your computer, you're on your TV,

Starting point is 00:43:33 you're having real intense conversation with someone. You can't go right into sleep and expect to have good quality, it takes time to wind down and studies will show that giving yourself about an hour before bed where you turn off all electronics, you lower the, you lower, dim the lights in your house. Exactly. Actually, that's true, you know?

Starting point is 00:43:57 Listen to quiet music, meditate, drink Camelmilti, but give yourself about an hour to be prepared yourself for sleep, cool the temperature down in your room. That's another one. Don't sleep with clothes on. These are all proven by the way in studies. And then you are making me hot, sir. And I'll go in. But it actually helps.

Starting point is 00:44:15 It helps with sleep quality. A good seven quality hours of sleep is going to benefit you more than 10 shitty hours of sleep. And then exercise is the other one. Like regular consistent activity is fantastic for producing serotonin and for upregulating the receptors for serotonin. Sunlight is another one. Go outside and get some sunlight,

Starting point is 00:44:41 producing that vitamin D and that vitamin D acts like a hormone in the body. Low levels of vitamin D are very strongly connected to depression. Do you think we might get into some of this one at the Fit Expo? I feel like because we're going to be talking about the intuitive eating and stuff like that. We might head in this direction a little bit. That's right. We're heading over there. We should probably let people know. What are the dates that we're going to be speaking? Is it the fourth and fifth and fifth?

Starting point is 00:44:58 No, I think it's fifth and sixth, August. Fifth and sixth, it's the Saturday and Sunday, first weekend of January. So me and Adam will be talking at the Expo I think we have two talks if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, there's one Saturday and one Sunday and it's On the it's on the sixth and seventh there you and we'll be talking about Intuitive eating and we'll be probably will be covering some of the stuff that we're talking about right That's why I said that's it just reminding me that that we have that coming up and that this is the type of top Topic that we're gonna get into because I feel like not a lot of people are talking about. Right, that's why I said that's a just reminding me that that we have that coming up and that this is the type of topic that we're going to get into because I feel like not a lot of

Starting point is 00:45:26 people are talking about this right now. So I feel like that'll be kind of cool right at the one with the fit expo. Now you can there are natural supplements that you can take that may help that are not prescription. One of them is Sam E. That's S-A-M and then the letter E. That's actually a prescription antidepressant for mild depression in Europe, here in the US you can buy it over the counter. If you're a high, if you have, if you're bipolar, probably not a good idea, because it can trigger manic episodes,

Starting point is 00:45:57 but for mild depression, Sami is effective. Oshwaganda is another one that's been shown to alleviate depression. One of the ways it's believed to work is it increases the receptor density to serotonin. So it doesn't increase serotonin, but it makes the serotonin that you have be more effective in your brain. And then I think Raishi, if I'm mistaken, is a mushroom that you could take for depression.

Starting point is 00:46:21 But none of those will do much for you. If your diet is poor, you're not exercising, you're not getting sunlight, you're not getting good sleep. Those are the most important things to do. Start with the big rocks. That's it. Next question is from Art of April. My chiropractor says most of my hip pain is due to a weak core.

Starting point is 00:46:38 What is good at home core routine I can do daily to help with this? What are the best moves? You know, I tell you what, when you think of the core, and you wanna think of exercises to work on the core, think of the muscles and their primary functions. So you have abdominals that shorten the distance between your pelvis and your ribcage,

Starting point is 00:46:59 so that would be like a crunching type motion. You can either bring your ribcage closer to your pelvis like a sit-up, or you could bring your pelvis closer to your ribcage which would be like a reverse crunch. Then you have internal external obliques that stabilize the core, but they also rotate the body. So you may want to involve some kind of rotation movement. And then the TVA, right?

Starting point is 00:47:20 The muscles that suck in and draw in the midsection. So you probably want to create your body's natural weight belt. That's it. Support system. So I think if you address those kind of three main things, you're probably, you're probably all good. I mean, for a great one would be the six pack or the no BS six pack abs or to go through our YouTube series where we've done core and ab stuff and go through those types of videos, deactivators and the vacuum pose and all that. What about some tension moves? I think it's important though too that I think she knows too that and I know your chiropractor is telling you this,

Starting point is 00:47:52 but it's not just your core. Like if you if you've got, if she's got dysfunction and poor recruitment patterns and she just gets a strong ass core, it's not necessarily going to fix her hip issues. So she's got to address that also. But I think having a weak core can exaggerate that, right? Or make that worse. And I think having a strong core is necessary to help support

Starting point is 00:48:16 that good system while you address what's going on with you, but to say it's just from a weak core, that's a little vague because if you have hip issues, that's not, that's not. Well, it's just from a weak core, that's a little vague, because if you have hip issues, that's not... Right. Well, it's definitely a communication issue. So like one way to communicate, you know, and you need to reconnect to a certain part of your body or a certain movement or function is isometrics and is to be able to kind of create

Starting point is 00:48:39 more tension and get that recruitment established again, that communication between the brain and firing with the neurons to the muscles. So if you wanna just go ahead and focus on like certain areas of like hip function or like going through the entire core and building up that process of like each one of those crunching moves or twisting moves and just really holding and solidifying it and reinforcing it.

Starting point is 00:49:07 It's a great way to just rebuild that firing sequence. You know, a good old fashioned plank is a great movement to build better tension and control of your play. And the way that you have shown. That's what the different pelvic positions are. So when you get into the... If you have the funds, Prime Pro and no BS6 pack abs, like that's literally like the answer

Starting point is 00:49:29 for you for this question right now. Like Prime Pro, go literally to your, go to the hips part and address all the issues potentially with your hips, use the no BS6 pack abs to do core training and ab training that's gonna help solidify all that and you're good. And if you wanna couple that with a weight training program that you're already currently doing on the maps,

Starting point is 00:49:48 and I'd say that, but those two right there is like, that's why we created those programs for people just like this. Mm-hmm. Next question is from Dunn drummer. Are behind the neck presses good or bad? Man, those were all the rage back in the day. They were.

Starting point is 00:50:02 When I was, then I went the other extreme, right? It did. When I went extreme, the They were. When I was... Then I went the other extreme, right? It did. When I went extreme, the other extreme. When I was a kid, grown up reading the Bodybuilding magazines, like all the top bodybuilders did. People who did it, like, Fregno and... Everybody did it. It was like a staple pressing movement.

Starting point is 00:50:18 The Barbarium Brothers, I don't know if you guys ever knew what those guys were. There were these two characters. They're super like crazy strong dudes that would go, they'd work out a lot of Venice, you know, golds and make a lot of noise and do crazy shit. Those guys would behind the neck press over 300 pounds. It was like, it was something that a lot of bodybuilders did and got really popular and then behind the neck exercises

Starting point is 00:50:39 seemed to have falling, they fell out of favor. I feel like they've just lost mobility. You know, this race to to get super big with machines and having all these fixed positions all the time, and hypertrophy being the focus, I wonder if they lost favor in doing stuff like that because the mobility was there anymore. Well, most bodybuilders are even at a professional level

Starting point is 00:51:02 or genetic flexible freaks too. I don't have it met one that is like actually stiff as born. Everyone teases and acts like they're so stiff and rigid. They look like that when they're walking in the water, but most of the guys at that level have this just, they're genetic freaks. They have this ability to not only put on muscle like crazy, but then it doesn't limit their range of motion that bad.

Starting point is 00:51:22 I mean, remember, I was getting in the way, you mean they're just not tight. Right, right. Trids a trip. It is a trip. Because it's true. What? Because it used to trip me out that it, when I started pushing up to 32,

Starting point is 00:51:32 40, and I could be leaning in great shape, but fucking jacked, like, I'm just not functional. I become extremely tight. I cannot, I've lost my range of motion. Like, it's crazy. And, and you think that if, oh, that could have been the way you're training, no, it's like these guys have, they have this ability to still do the splits

Starting point is 00:51:50 and do shit like that. That's not like, because he's working on going to do the splits all the time. It's because Tom Platz is a good example of that. He was a bodybuilder in the 70s and 80s, and that guy was very, very flexible. He's also one of the strongest squatters in bodybuilding history.

Starting point is 00:52:03 I think he did, if I'm not mistaken, I think he squatted 315, something like 50 something times and 500 pounds. So I crazy. Yeah, just insane amount of, and crazy flexibility. But, you know, it's neither. It's neither good or bad exercise. If you can do it, here's a, here's a little trick here. Well, talk about why we just, we just recently

Starting point is 00:52:23 didn't put it in one of our programs and we wanted to, but we all agreed that we didn't. Most people don't have the mobility to do right. That's all. That's all we do. Because we agreed that it could be an incredible movement and it could be something that I mean I could work towards it. Right.

Starting point is 00:52:38 And there's a process that you could go through to get there, but for us to just throw that in there as a new move, you know, is probably not the best. No, here's a deal. If you can do an exercise or a movement with good control, good mobility and good stability, then that exercise is good. And pain free. Right, then that exercise is good.

Starting point is 00:52:56 If you can't do an exercise with any of those three things, then that exercise is bad. It doesn't matter what it is. It could be a push-up. If you don't have the mobility and stability to do a push-up, then a push-up now is a bad exercise for you. A behind the neck press, if you can do it right, it's a great exercise.

Starting point is 00:53:12 I personally really enjoy doing behind the neck presses. I do them at least two or three days out of the month. I enjoy doing them because it is a different recruitment pattern than a standard military press, so I feel it differently. Well, I think I don't like to lose that. I think it promotes good posture because it's countering the most common things that we see in people. So I like it for that reason, but for me, I remember when I started doing them, I didn't do them until I did them early on in my weightlifting career for the first couple of years. Then I avoided them for many, many years, and then I went back just recently after I got done competing to get to the point where I could put, but I had to start with the bar. I mean, I had to go all the way

Starting point is 00:53:53 down to a 45-pound bar, which is really light for me to shoulder press, and just getting my shoulders to retract and stay in a retracted position why I moved this bar behind my head and up was really challenging. It's a totally different skill. Yeah, yeah, it's a manage, but I always found too that it translated well to backloaded squats too. So I felt like really strong in my posture and everything,

Starting point is 00:54:18 my upper back, from doing those types of presses. Yeah, there's some people know, some people will say that behind the neck press doesn't, because when you do a military press, a heavy one, you actually believe or not, you actually work a little bit of some of the fibers of the highest part of your upper chest, and it's a really heavy and the anterior portion

Starting point is 00:54:39 of your deltoid. Some would say that the behind the neck press involves more of the lateral head of the deltoids. I personally, the way I feel it, is I feel good mid-back recruitment from a behind the neck press because when you come down to the bottom, you have to have really good thoracic engagement and you need to be able to engage the upper back. Otherwise, if you, if you round your shoulders at all, you'll hit your neck with the behind the neck press. You're not gonna work out.

Starting point is 00:55:06 And I go really light with it, and because I go so light and I have to squeeze my arms back, I get a really good pump with the behind the neck press. So I really, really enjoy them, but most people just can't do them right. Yeah, most people don't have the shoulder mobility, and that's because of their, I mean, their older suffering from up across syndrome

Starting point is 00:55:22 or whatever, and they've got this. But dude, you look at old videos of the bodybuilders of the 70s and hardly ever would they do shoulder workout without doing, and they go all the way down. Like these guys would go all the way, touch their traps. I tell you what, because people who say this is a terrible exercise are full of shit. If you can develop this mobility, if your work on it,

Starting point is 00:55:41 it takes a lot of time. Oh, I see, I think that's definitely a wrong way to say it too, because it's not, because I like it, fuck, who cares who did it 10, 20 years ago? I like it because it does, it forces you into good posture. You can't do it behind the neck, behind the neck press without getting your shoulders in a proper position.

Starting point is 00:55:58 Like, you can't cheat that. Well, dude, you can't. Olympic lifters who arguably, I would say, among all resistance training type athletes or athletes that compete with weights Arguably I would say Olympic lifters have the best shoulder mobility Just from the the snatches and cleans off stuff they have to do But they do an exercise where I don't know what you call it But they'll start with the bar on their traps and then they'll pop it up like they just finish the snatch bring it back down

Starting point is 00:56:23 On the trap behind the next push press, but they just finished a snatch, bring it back down on the strap behind the neck, push press. But they go all the way down to their traps each time, and it's part of their routine. Famous strong man, Mario's push and ask you, you can find a YouTube video of him doing this with 315, where he's got it on his traps, and he's like, he does, it's almost like he's completing it. So push press.

Starting point is 00:56:39 Yeah, but behind the neck. Yeah, behind the neck push press. Oh, it's nasty. Yeah, those are nasty. Shan Trimble, more talk on conspiracy theories. Are there any conspiracy? Have we even talked about this? Yeah. Do you guys have any? You guys have any conspiracy theories that you think may actually be true? Well, I think, I think Netflix is behind all these.

Starting point is 00:57:00 I just get a stick with that. I do like that one. I do. I think that, well, I should let me retract that because I don't need Netflix fucking to sell me or what I thought. I have no idea who it is. I, but I definitely think there's some conspiracy behind all the coming forward of all the famous people in Hollywood that, you know, touch children or sexually harass somebody or did some of it.

Starting point is 00:57:22 It just seems like every day we have somebody who's going down and It just seems odd that it's all happening together even stuff that's surfacing from 20 years ago and stuff like that's coming out right now So that to me tells me that there's more it's more than just a coincidence that all these this is happening at one time And so then the next thing leads me to okay who would benefit the most from Hollywood technically going down or who would benefit the most from Hollywood technically going down or who would benefit the most from Hollywood stars going down and the only companies I can see that really would benefit like that right now a lot is like Netflix is a company that

Starting point is 00:57:55 like that's doing you know creating their own content now and soon having their own actors and shit. Speaking of which I watched bright did you watch that movie on Netflix and then did you watch it. What do you think of it? I was not impressed. I loved it. The end shot. The point of the fuck out of me. Well, Brennan Shobb. I saw Brennan Shobb's post and I knew it was coming. I was really excited to watch it. And then I saw his post saying like, oh, fuck the critics there. Ron, this movie's dope as fuck. And so I was like, oh, cool. Okay. So I told Katrina. I'm like, I like Brennan Shobb. I think we, you know, we'd have similar taste in movies. And so I decided to watch it. And I was, I thought for

Starting point is 00:58:29 sure that, okay, this is Netflix, like first attempt at a blockbuster, bringing on and actually dropping a full, full length movie, right? So I really expected them to come out of the band. They got Will Smith. So they got a big name actor. So I thought, okay, there's your first tab plot seems interesting, you know, it was a a big name actor, so I thought, okay, there's your first app. Plot seems interesting, you know. It was a major let down for me. I thought I don't like the way it ended. Yeah, I didn't like. There was nothing about it that I really liked.

Starting point is 00:58:53 It had it's moments of humor that I thought were great, which is very bad boys, men in black-esque, you know, so it kind of had that taste to it. But it just didn't appeal to me. The plot wasn't good enough. It didn't end well. The acting in it wasn't superb. Like I was let down. I was let down.

Starting point is 00:59:14 I was disappointed in you Netflix. Oh man, that's too bad. I haven't seen you. And I was like, till you don't watch it. You have to watch it. Yeah. Off to see now. I'll give you.

Starting point is 00:59:22 Yeah, it's worth it. But I mean, I liked Hellboy better. You know, I thought yeah, I thought I helped yeah, I liked hell I thought hellboy was cool So I thought I liked it even better than that and so I had higher mind you I had a lot I had higher expectations for Netflix in their first movie to draw their first like blockbuster to drop because yeah You name like Will Smith like he's you know, it's your first one right? This is your first splash into hey We're gonna start because advertising on movie theaters

Starting point is 00:59:46 and shit like that to see. I think they could have ended it way better. They had a good opportunity at the end and it was kind of like, what? Yeah, it was weak. I was the way the end it was totally weak. No, I wasn't happy with it. I was trying to think of conspiracy theories

Starting point is 00:59:59 that I actually believe in. I know Salah has a bunch of them, dude. I think there's a little bit of truth in a lot of them, though. That's the shitty part. It's like, yeah, because if you really think about it, like that could happen. Like there's some shitty people out there that could like orchestrate stuff and do things, you know?

Starting point is 01:00:17 Well, there's conspiracy theories that I believed that then came out to be true. Like one of them was the drug prohib prohibition and one of the conspiracy theories was that the that the government went hard after drugs because we had the counter-culture movement Who was protesting the Vietnam War? They were causing a lot of problems. There was a lot of upheaval We were in the middle of a cold war. they presented a threat to us, to destabilize us, which we don't want to do with the Cold War going on.

Starting point is 01:00:49 So the government decided, well, how do we go after these peaceful protesters without infringing on their liberties because they're all protesting, like that's protected by the Constitution. So they made the drugs of the counter-culture, the, you know, the enemy. And so LSD, Silasai, and Marijuana all became schedule one that way they could throw these people in jail. And then it comes out that that was true.

Starting point is 01:01:14 Yeah. You know what I mean? That's exactly what happened. Yeah. You know, the other one that I subscribe to is that, you know, for a long time now, we've only had two political parties in power. I think, for, it always looks like they fight and they hate each other and this, that and

Starting point is 01:01:28 the other. I think they fucking work together. I think they love each other and I think that what they're trying to do is create the illusion of choice. They make you think your two choices are Coke and Pepsi and those are the only choices you have. So you forget about seven up, you forget about Sprite, you forget about Mountain Dew, you forget about all up, you forget about sprite, you forget about mountain dew, you forget about all that

Starting point is 01:01:45 of the stuff, you think I only have two choices. And I've seen this happen now several times where you'll have a candidate from another party come over and try to run. And they'll both work together to eliminate them, to eliminate them to keep them from even talking. They don't like the third party person. There's no doubt in my mind. I mean, you watch house of cards. Yeah, I've in my mind. It's like, I mean, you watch house of cards?

Starting point is 01:02:05 Yeah. I've only seen a few episodes. Wow, I see. Why? It doesn't make sense to me. Why you wouldn't love me? You and I got into that one. You will enjoy that show.

Starting point is 01:02:12 This is what it gets into all the fucking shit and the behind the scenes. I have not to say that house of cards is what proves the point. But yeah, I believe it's accurate too. And I think it's right up the alley what you're talking about that. I mean, let's put this way.

Starting point is 01:02:25 If you make it all the way to the White House, dude, like you've been on your game for fucking a long time. Not for like five minutes. Like you weren't just like a popular guy. You did some really good shit, and then someone said, hey, let's put this guy in the White House. Like a master manipulator at point.

Starting point is 01:02:39 You look at fucking shit. And how many of these candidates were tied to somebody later on who was an opposite of what they support. I mean you always see that. It doesn't matter. It's all part of their playing together and we're the ones that are getting beat all the time. I also think there's I agree with that. I also think there's real conspiracies against besides what I just said about the counter-culture that there are big conspiracies against the, you know, liberalization of the laws on cannabis and

Starting point is 01:03:08 some of the science that's coming out showing its effectiveness against lots of different diseases. I think that pharmaceutical companies don't like that because you're dealing with a natural plant that you can't patent. So they're trying to figure out ways to synthesize and make it patent, you know, something you can patent and until that happens, they're going to keep that shit illegal. I mean, it's, and I think, and that one's kind of, I mean, I don't have evidence to prove that, but I don't know how many people have disagreed with me. Well, I definitely believe in the flat earth. So let's talk about that.

Starting point is 01:03:38 Yeah, let's go in that direction. Yeah, no, I, I do think the like with the whole moon landing like so another case scenario like Where did you even talk about Elon Musk taking off? Yeah, oh yeah, remember that yeah the rocket thing that happened just recently But talk about what it would happen. I wouldn't pay attention to that you can see Elon Musk taking off and his rocket over no What he went he flew in his own rocket? Yeah, I don't know if he was personally in it He's definitely space X. Yeah, he launched it, but yeah, I can't we I thought for sure. That was trippy. I know it's launched and made a bunch of you know, a bunch of people film the

Starting point is 01:04:12 Yeah, yeah, I don't know anything. Well, what's the deal about? No, I haven't read anything on I thought for sure I expect my my nerdy friend to be just testing it as far as I got expecting you to have read this already I came to work today going like you know, can't Weed to ask Sal about the fucking spaceship. It's up in they just got launched You know what's what's like landing on the moon, right? So like it had to have happened I mean yeah, look at how shitty our technology was back then and all that but like like there's both So you have the studio in in you know, Hollywood that's taking pictures and like setting it up and everything, making sure that worst case scenario, I'm sure they're gonna take pictures and fake it, but at the same time, they're sending people to the moon.

Starting point is 01:04:53 You gotta keep a mind that we have these organizations that exist in our country, that exist solely to protect the interest of this country and to protect our country. And depending on the size of the threat, they will go to great lengths to do that. So during the Cold War, that was a time when there were nukes pointed at Soviet Union and US had nukes pointed at each other, threatening the destruction of the entire world. For sure, they did a lot of crazy shit to guarantee or to try and get your asses.

Starting point is 01:05:28 Of course they did a bunch of crazy shit. You know what I mean? Exactly. Dude, we actually spent money on psychics to try to tell us the menace there it goes. That's true. We actually did experiments with psychedelics where we see if we could brainwash people.

Starting point is 01:05:43 We did all. Teleporting. There was something called Operation Northwoods, which was signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which said that we were going to stage our own terrorist attack in Miami and blame it on the Cuban so that the US public would support attacking Cuba because of course we don't want missiles to be in Cuba because it'd be close to the US. So, of course, so that's why when I say conspiracy theory, sometimes I'm like, I don't know, man.

Starting point is 01:06:08 Because, yeah, I don't know. Because, yeah, there's definitely, it's always like, some kind of intrusion there. Did you guys read the recent article in New York Times about how high-ranking officials are saying that they definitely believe aliens have visited Earth and there was some documents that showed, as recent as 2004, you have these military pilots who encountered flying objects that were very close

Starting point is 01:06:34 to their airplanes, that flew at speeds and maneuvered in ways that just not possible with current technology. And apparently they're saying that there's some hang or somewhere with some of these metals and stuff that we found that we believed to be from UFOs. They're trying to study them and stuff. What do you guys think about that? I have one for you. I love, man.

Starting point is 01:06:55 Like, have you heard what was his name? Tom DeLong or whatever? From Bleakwin 82. Talk about this kind of shit. It's like, he goes, he goes balls deep with this kind of stuff. I think for sure if they found evidence that there were UFOs, they wouldn't tell us. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:07:08 Everybody would freak out. Well, yeah, yeah, that's the thing. I think most of it, most of it on, you know, what we do see is definite like military testing. I mean, for like, they love that these like, conspiracy theories exist. That's true. Aliens and, you know,

Starting point is 01:07:24 covers their ass. Oh my God, but they're really just. Oh, it's probably UFO. Yeah, all this money they're trying to put in for some awesome like space-aged weapon thing, fucking death star thing they're building, you know. That's more likely. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:07:37 But yeah, I mean, who knows, dude, I don't fucking know. You know, like, it's kind of fun to think there'd be aliens that exist, but I don't, you know, who the hell knows. If they, it's highly likely that if they did, that they wouldn't be organic, there'd be robots. They'd be the most organic. That's a lot of work.

Starting point is 01:07:53 At some point, they reached a... How would they travel for that long and not deteriorate? Or just they just evolved and now transferred their consciousness to computers? Who knows? Maybe the aliens that visit us are us in the future. We are aliens. Boom, not even high, Adam. I'm totally sober, right now.

Starting point is 01:08:10 I think in our time, we will see, and I think sooner than later, I think we'll see the collapse of the dollar. I think that'll happen in our time. You've been hanging around my people too much, Adam. I do, no, I just say, I just say, I think, New World Order. I think that we'll see that,

Starting point is 01:08:23 and I think there's a lot of signs pointing that direction. And we talked a little bit about that with Jordan on his episode with what we see some of these big companies doing with cryptocurrency, with the dollar where it's going, with the printing. What if the cryptocurrency was, it would be so easy for an agency like the CAA

Starting point is 01:08:41 to create Bitcoin or whatever, to track, to be able to track these on these underground purchases and shit on exclusively. Yeah, but if you don't want to blow their cover, you know what I'm saying? So they're just observing. Well, do you do know that the way they were created were like the by cyber punks. So these were hackers. That's the story. Yeah, that's the you're right. That's the story. Nobody knows. Yeah, but I tend to subscribe to that story more than I subscribe to what you're saying right now.

Starting point is 01:09:08 That the government's under, is beneath it all and is doing it. No. They've done a lot of, I think these are, I think these are a group of free market guys that really wanted to protect their ability to purchase online. Do that is originally how it started and then evolved into something much bigger.

Starting point is 01:09:24 And even crypto or no crypto, right? It still doesn't matter. It's still points in the direction that that we're going that way. So maybe Bitcoin fails and it is what you think which I disagree, but let's say it all is and it all takes a shit. The blockchain technology is out there. And like, and enough people that understand it, understand where it's going, it makes total sense that this will be the evolution of our money. Money always does seem to evolve and it's going to, and it's only a matter of time and the direction that we're taking it right now by printing more of it, it's only destroying it. It took a hit right, didn't Bitcoin take a massive hit recently? Are they back up or what? Yeah, it's not back up to it, it's not at its peak, but it's,

Starting point is 01:10:00 it's done that several times. Yeah, yeah, it's done that several times where, you know, the thing right now is the thing that Everyone that I talked to said that cautions about it is that you know what we're seeing is all these like IPOs hit at one time and everyone's trying to figure out whose Google or Amazon and you just can't Figure that out right now, and so we're getting manipulated to by some of these companies that are coming out with these cool videos. There's tons of shit floating around on YouTube now. And like people are saying like, oh, this is the next one that's going to do this and do that. And so everyone's jumping on the bandwagon. And there's obviously going to be some people out there that are going to, you know, they're going to use that to

Starting point is 01:10:38 their advantage that we can get a bunch of quick money right now by making people believe that we're going to do this. So there's going to be Charloton's out there also right now by making people believe that we're gonna do this. So there's gonna be Charlotens out there also right now. So where crypto goes, I don't know, but I definitely believe in our lifetime that we'll see either the elimination or the destruction of the dollar. I don't think that- Do you think it's gonna happen that soon?

Starting point is 01:10:56 I do, and I think it's sooner. I do think it's sooner than later. That'll suck, you know, that'll cause massive, massive issues. It could, it could. Oh, for sure. You can, you take away a country's money and you've got chaos big time. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:11:10 Well, if you say it like that, yeah, I can, but I think if it's if it we evolve that way over time, which I think we're doing that right now, Ain't nobody gonna let that shit evolve nicely. There's no way. You know, you know, much money there is and making our money. Yeah. No, I know. No, they're not going to be like, federal service, the biggest gangsters in the country, arguably the world.

Starting point is 01:11:30 So I were still running on oil. I mean, it's the best, who gets, who gets to loan money and then also decide their interest, right? How fucking gangster is that? I'm going to loan you fucking money and then I'm going to decide how much you got to pay me back. It's my decision. Every, there's penalties if you don't, but nothing for me. Every dollar is fucking gangsterish shit.

Starting point is 01:11:49 Every dollar is debt. How did that happen? Do you guys know the story of the creation of the Federal Reserve? Yeah. So it started, it's a true story, by the way. You got a dollar started originally as paper receipts. It was paper receipts for gold. Yeah, and it evolved to this point where

Starting point is 01:12:06 no, the Federal Reserve Act was literally written on an island, Jekel Island, by some of the most influential like guys in America at the time, like what's his name? JP Morgan and like anyway, these big, they went over there and they had, they wouldn't even give the real names when they were on the trains because it had to be so secret. They went there, created this act, brought it back to Congress, waited for a period of time.

Starting point is 01:12:32 I can't remember when, when a lot of Congress would be out. I think it was a holiday and they had their guys in there and voted in. It's pretty, pretty crazy story, pro. The fuck's. Look it up, I'm not making this shit up, this is all true. So gay. This is all true. So gang. This is all true.

Starting point is 01:12:46 And presidents have opposed federal, having a like a federal reserve many, many times. And the ones that oppose it tend to get assassinated. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. I don't know. It'll be interesting to see how it all unfolds. I think it's all for the good though.

Starting point is 01:13:01 I really believe that we're heading in the right direction. That just sounds scary to say that, to say like, oh, the claps of the dollar. It sounds like, oh, shit, we're going to die with it. But I think it'll all for the good though. I really believe that we're heading in the right direction. That just sounds scary to say that, to say like, oh, the collapse of the dollar, it sounds like, oh shit, we're gonna die with. But I think it'll be a slow transition. And I think what you're seeing with companies or seeing with like Bitcoin is that, regardless of it's a worldwide adopted thing that ends up taking over the dollar,

Starting point is 01:13:18 I do believe it'll be something that is accepted by certain companies and we're already seeing that happening and talking in the news right now. If someone's like, listen, we'll take it. And if you're willing to put a thousand dollars of your dollars in there to get X amount of these digital coins that protect you from ever being found out that you're purchasing or doing something a lot of people see value in that a lot of people I agree with you. I just do not think it will be slow I don't think it'll be peaceful. I think you have countries like China that manipulate their currency like crazy. You have us and our Federal Reserve Bank.

Starting point is 01:13:47 No way in hell are they going to not try to cause, like it's going to be a big, if the dollar does collapse, it will literally be a collapse and it'll be a massive problem. Actually, I don't think any, I don't think there's ever been a gradual slow evolution of currency. I think it's always been. No, it's been a massive fail. It's always been this, they end up devaluing the money by, I forget their name. Like there's a term for it where we do, we print money.

Starting point is 01:14:16 That's when we're doing it. Super inflation. It's like super inflation. It's like super, like times normal inflation because we start printing. And it's always, it's from that. We push really hard then it just drives down the drives down the dollar. We're doing that you know I'm saying we're doing that as we exist and when you talk about the things that are happening with like when we talk with

Starting point is 01:14:35 Chris Crest for the other day and like guys like him or like do we're gonna go bankrupt from the healthcare well we're gonna go bankrupt from the healthcare we'll bankrupt over here we're driving the dollar down. It's probably a perfect storm of all this. It's all happening and I feel like somebody's gonna have to get a hold of it and it might be start all over. You know, start all over. We've already proven that this fucking system doesn't work. Let's be honest, it's all based on which I used to love to ask people that's like, if you're a man of faith, like are you a man of faith and you have somebody who's like totally not religious about that. No, no, no, no, no, this not like well, sure you are you use dollars, don't you?

Starting point is 01:15:07 It's fucking you. I believe you. Yeah, you got a lot more faith than you think you do. You're handed over paper to give so get something from someone in return like that you it's not backed by shit, dude. True. Right, nothing that supports that. Oh, crazy. Right, it's a piece of fucking paper, man. I like the Federal Reserve so
