If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there did. We talked about Jerry Belvedere, the mouse. Who is that? He's a friend of ours. That's Tony buddy. That lives in here now. Gotta find out. We talk about me mispronouncing word, actually made up a word, mini-moles.

In a whole different way. We've got some Adam there. My apologies. We talk about my keto dinner at the Brazilian steakhouse. Delicious. Yeah. We talk about trailer parks and how Adam thinks that's the next place that everyone's gonna love.

And you've been on the phone. You heard it here first. Invest, invest, invest. Then we talk about the new stupid challenge people are doing on the internet, the tied pod challenge. I'm confused by that. Are there some fat burning benefits?

Find out this episode. Good one. Then we talk about the lipstick challenge. Justin did that on Adam. Yeah. This is not the rainbow. You won't post that one. No worry. And then we talk about eco sexuality. You love the environment. Yeah. What's the last time you fuck through it? Yeah. Prove you love the environment. Show us how much you love the environment. We talk about the split of California, gotta love those stupid economic policies. And the high speed rail that we're building here,

versus the hyperloop, is it really that fast? Or quakes are gonna split us anyway. And we mentioned our sponsors. We talked about Thrive Market. We actually opened up a box of stuff for me from Thrive Market because they're our sponsor. We've actually hooked you guys up with some. If you go to thrivemarket.com forward slash mind pump, this is what they're going to do for

you. And this is only for mind pump listeners. You get a month free membership, $20 off your first three orders of $49 or more, and free shipping. You basically have nothing to lose. We also mentioned our other sponsor for Sigmatic. I talked about their sleep stick drink this before bed, sleep like you're dead, but be alive.

Wow. If you go to for-sigmatic.com-for-slash-mind-pump, you gotta spell for, and enter the code MindPump at checkout, you'll get a huge discount. Then we get into the questions. The first question was, look, if our bodies are super adaptable, like we say they are, why haven't they adapted modern society yet? Like, why aren't we adapted to a high sugar diet,

not moving that much, not sleeping that much? Like, when are our genes gonna catch up? Yeah, come on, man. Maybe we should just let people die. Or we're gonna be like, shit, and be awesome. The next question was, if we're built for survival, then why aren't we craving greens and veggies and fruits and stuff that are good for us? Or would you?

Yeah, exactly. Next question, we've all been working out for a long time. Do we still find it exciting and fun? Is it like that first day? Or is it boring now? Our answers might surprise you here. They will. The last question is, what is our opinion on all the hype surrounding

vegan and vegan-uary? Vegan-uary? Vegan-uary. Vegan-uary. Why is that so hard to say? Apparently in January, there's this trend where everybody's avoiding meat in January and what do we think about that? Do we bash it or we onboard? Probably both. Also, it's still January, it's still the month everybody typically decides to get super serious about fitness. I don't believe you, but if you are super serious, I got a great way to prove you wrong. If you're like, hey, Sal, you're full of shit, man, I'm fucking serious.

This is what you do. You enroll in our maps, super bundle. It's a year of exercise programming. We're calling it the Maps Challenge. See if you can complete all of the Maps programs as they're laid out in all of 2018. Take a before, take an after picture, show everybody how effective the programs are

because they are super effective. It's the Super Bundle. It's the only program that we know of in existence that'll plan out your entire year. But in January, we've added another awesome thing to this. Sal doesn't believe you can do this. If you enroll in any of our bundles, because we have other ones, you're gonna get a free t-shirt.

Now, these t-shirts are phenomenal. They are limited edition. They are very comfortable. Adam wears one to bed every single night. You'll get a free one with any bundle. If you're interested in this, all you have to do is go to mypumpmedia.com and enroll. Let's name the mouse in the studio.

That's what you said. I know, I'm looking at Justin and I'm trying to... I'm very? Because I feel like Justin will come up with the best name. Yeah, for sure. What can we name the mouse that we have? I like Jerry. Name the studio.

That's not original dude little schnauser Yeah, I think I hyped you too much he did schnauser Like yeah, all right little schnauzy. We need to let's come up with the name right now for the mouse Okay, I'm thinking I don't know I like Yeah, I'm thinking, I don't know. I like Belvedere. Oh yeah, that's a good call. Wanna call him Belvedere? Yeah.

What do you think Adam? Belvedere for the mouse? I like Jerry, man. Little buck. You like, okay, so Jerry Belvedere. Jerry Belvedere. Jerry Belvedere is the mouse. That's pretty regal.

I wanna hear what happened, because we already got one. We got, no. Two. There were two that we got. One Yeah, we snapped one one before that. Wow Mm-hmm. I don't know if I was gonna admit that on the show you a lot of pissed off people about that But we did eat it later. So it was Body didn't go to waste. Yeah, so we caught one with in a box that just in Yeah, I was trying to be all cool at first,

but hey man, you didn't get the message. You are wonderful as the same one. You snapped you. You didn't come back? Maybe. So we had, we caught one, then we killed one, and now there's another one, but this is the last mouse standing,

and he's a survivor. What did he do, Adam? I want you to tell everybody what he did. He, well, Doug got smart and figured out that he liked the peanuts and we've been buying peanuts from Thrive Market. And so since we had an abundance of these, which is probably what drew these guys into our studio, Doug decided to double down on the peanuts. Yeah, double down on the peanuts. And he's now using the peanuts on the traps and it's been working but with Apparently Jerry is a little more is smarter than his brother because he's found a way to get the peanuts off the trap without getting the traffic

Jerry that that almost makes me not want to do any I went almost catch him and keep him as a pet because he's smart Well, he just he deserves it I yeah, you won. Yeah, he deserves the whole thing. So, God, do you remember the game? Mouse trap. Playing games with us. I love game. Yeah, mouse trap.

It's a, oh shit. What about the elaborate to set up? Hold on a second. There's a name. There's a name for creating a very complicated. Is it a roo-boot? Roob-boot. Roob-boot.

Yeah. Roob-boot. Roob-boot. Roob-boot. Roob-boot. Roob-boot. Roob-boot. What is it called? Roob-boot. Roob-boberg. Rubed, rubbed, rubbed, rubbed. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg.

Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg.

Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg.

Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. Rubbed Goldberg. I mispronounced the word so bad. That was, and I fixed it in the episode, but as I heard it, have you guys, it's a root goldberg? Have you guys ever listed to yourself on the show and just felt so embarrassed about yourself?

Did you have to stop almost every day? Oh really? Okay, so this is the first time. I listened in moderation. You know what I mean? I have to blast myself all the time, just keep myself in check. So I was trying to talk about how many ketones I had in my urine,

because I did the peat strip, and I said, instead of millimoles, I said mini moles. I heard you cracking your stuff on that, I was like, mini moles. So me and my girl, you're like a strip mole, a little mini mole. I mean, Jessica, we're on our way to dinner last night, by the way, celebrated early anniversary, we have our anniversary coming up All right, and we're driving over there and we're listening to the episode

I said mini moles twice or something like that and then correct it for like five minutes later Dude, I was so I got so angry with myself Anybody call you out on Instagram? It's a new episode and so I'm hoping that this one scientists I want this one to get out of your measure I want this one to get out first so someone will correct me. I know bitch listen. You can you can live in my world for a day. You know, since people love the DM me right away. Let me know. Hey, did you know you fucked this world? I can do it. I know that. Thank you. Yeah, I'm like my co-host pointed out right now. It's not it's not a word. I was there too. Yeah, it's not a word. Most people know. So I not a word most people know so I know some scientists or doctors who like yeah

Mimi mole They're probably in the lab I knew he was wrong. He's such a no it all knew he was wrong. Dude yesterday. I went to The best restaurant for a keto diet keto paleo diet ever. Oh the New million steakhouse. Wow. Yeah, of course That's what I when I was on the diet. I was like Katrina night like every Friday was going down the Brazilian steak house. Oh my It's gone. It's designed for the keto diet totally. We went over to Fogo to Chow in Santa Nero. Yeah, wow that is stuff. I been there yet. Bro, I really want to go.

Bro, I had probably, I'm not exaggerating either. I had at least 150 grams of protein in one meal. And you know what the crazy thing is? It's easy to do. Here's the crazy thing. Here's the crazy thing. And I hate talking, I'm always leery of talking like this because I know it's going to happen.

A bunch of people are going to become keto are gonna become keto addicts or whatever. But here's a deal, I've just recently switched over, hadn't done keto for a while. And I ate so much food, but I avoided all the carbohydrates and starches, and I didn't even have fruit. It was just all fats, vegetables, and meats. And I ate a lot, and I left there, and I felt totally fine. Normally, I would leave a restaurant like that

after eating that much, and I'd be bloated or painful or whatever. No, man, I came home, and I felt good. Had sex and everything. Wow. You know what I mean? That's the trifecta. Yeah, because normally after me, like,

Justin, I went and had famous Dave just today without you guys. What's famous Dave's? It's like Armadillo Willys or Dickies, like a barbecue place? The chain came from Chicago. I was actually pumped where came out. It's in Kurtner. Yeah near that the monoray goals the plant. They have the plant wow try it in there you guys always wait like I'm gone That's what we did like what the fuck is salif work a really one-triety just now you know what fucked that Companies taking us to lunch

Just say, you know what, fuck that. Companies taking us to lunch. I had to go on my own diet. I'm just kidding. You guys had fun, huh? Hey, yeah, of course. Of course. I know. I don't get jealous.

I don't get jealous because you guys have your own like little friendship that you guys do, you know what I mean without me and stuff. We need something special to do. Me and Doug hang out a lot, so it's all good. You know what I mean? Fine. Hey, I'm gonna take a left turn on you right now.

You guys are always taking off without me. So whatever. We do. You know what I mean? That is true. Yeah. That is true. Yeah.

Left turn real quick. I don't know where I read this, right? But this was a recent that I saw this, that there's this kind of new emerging market that's happening right now with these small homes. Now we've seen it and we've talked about the minimalist homes. Not every time I'll like small, like minimalist homes. Now you're talking about small, like your homes. Are you on small cholos or small houses?

No, no, no, no, actually trailer parks. What? Small lobes. Small homes. Dad joke. Oh, I'm right there with the A- I gotta throw them in everyone's soil. You didn't have a lot of mulligans lately.

Yeah, a lot of mulligans going on. Dries pushing it, so. Yeah, I have to. Let me introduce you. We're gonna have to let that one ride. We have to play ball. Yeah, a lot of all games going on. He's pushing it. So, yeah, let me introduce you. We're gonna have to let that one ride. And just let me play ball. Let me introduce you to my small home. So, he's, he's, he's small. Okay, I got your back.

No, I mean more like trailers. So, even people like Warren Buffett are investing heavily in this right now, which is these trailer parks are becoming the new thing where you go, because we were the market is in housing, it's just the average, well yeah, and they are, what they're smart, they're buying up these trailer parks and they're modernizing them, right?

So they're making them cool trailers, but they're making them kind of hip, like a complex thing that's taking off, because when I was going to buy a house, like this is right after the, like right after the market really crashed, which I got kind of lucky going in, but I was talking to one of my friends and he's like, dude, why don't you just buy a modular?

Yeah, a modular home and I'm just like, well, get the fuck out of here. So why would I do that? And I guess it was picking up steam even back then, but it has, you know, got to this point. This is trendy. I did, it's not trendy. It's not trendy. It's actually, I think it's, I think it's here to stay and I think it's, I don't think

it's not going to stay. I agree with you. I think it's trending in the sense that it's, I can see you. Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. So, and I think it's brilliant. I think it's smart. So I had a girl I dated years ago who lived in a trailer park and she had a module, but it was beautiful.

It was like a hundred, I think she bought it for like a hundred grand, but it was like a three bedroom, two bath, like modular that was put together and the house was all modern, it looked really cool inside, but she lived in like this trailer park type of a community that I felt was like real old and retarded.

There's all these like, yeah, like, people have certain perception of a trailer park. So what these guys are doing and what I think is brilliant is they're just changing the image of it. Instead of it being just drawn appealing to the older population that's retired, making it more hip and more cool to where they've got these little, you know, like when you go to a apartment complex and they've got full sets of teeth. It will pull a pool and like a basketball hoop and things that, things that you would want

in your apartment type complex, these trailer parks are they're remodeling them. They're buying these old rundown ones, buying the whole thing out. It's cleaning house. Yes, and they're, so can I tell you my dream? If I, well, this is,

if I didn't have kids, this will be my dream. So, it has a dream. If I didn't have kids, I 100%, not making this up, I've talked about this so many times with people close to me. And me and Jessica even talked about this and she would be super down. Can't do it because I got kids and all that. But I would for sure

be one of those people that buys a fucking motor home, lives in that shit and just travels around and shit does that all the time. I could see you do that. I would love to do that. You know, awesome would be to have like very minimal like physical possessions you invest your money So you're sat and all that's up for me I love how you silly you know awesome would be to have like nothing Yeah, cool would be to have nothing and drive around and have like no actually that does not sound cool I think it would be you could travel like a mini tour with our band and I got like frustrated You could trap you could live on the beach for a second.

You could live in the fucking mountains. You could drive over to sell it. Sell it, brother, sell it. Oh, it would be great. That's like your inner. Or a hippie spirit. I love it. It is.

It is. A whole 14 days of that would be more than enough for me right there. And even that's pushing it. I think seven to 10 days of living the minimalist lifestyle. And you know what? And I know there's someone who's listening who totally agrees with you. There's for sure people out there that, and I believe occasionally, I believe as a group, right? We do over consume. Yeah, we do have too much shit. I have too much shit. I'll be the first to admit

it. 100% have too much shit. But I also value a lot of the shit that I have too. You know what I'm saying? And I like having those things, and I do get usage out of some of those things, but there are some things I do believe are wasteful. But I also believe that's part of growing and evolving and learning about yourself too. Like, I think you only make that mistake of wasting money

on a thing one or two times, and then you start to realize like, you know what, I really don't fucking use that. What am I doing? Like, I would never go run out and buy a quad again because I've got a $10,000 quad that sits in my living room that doesn't even get driven anymore. And it's selling such a brilliant idea

when I bought it seven years ago or whatever it was. So I- Are you gonna sell it? No, I won't because you know why because I won't get nowhere near the amount of money that I've put into it. That's more than zero. Right, I'm not getting zero for it.

Yeah, but if you, a quad like that, you can find online used, even though mine has really low hours and has about five, six grand into it, and it's already brand new and eight thousand dollar quad, I wouldn't even get six or seven grand for it. So, to me, Well, whatever you get, it's more than what you're getting now.

That's what you gotta look at it. Then it's a stupid way to look at it. You, to me, whatever you get, more than what you're getting now. That's the way you gotta look at it. Then it's a stupid way to look at it. You think why? Because I know me, at one point, I'll be on Pismo Beach again, and I'll have wanted, I wanna drive it.

Rent it, rent one. No, you can't rent one like mine. Oh, okay. Well, if you're gonna use it, that's different, but yeah, a lot of times what people will do is,

so I can't remember the name of it. There's a term for it in economics, and it's where people make this They use this rationale and it's actually economically speaking Irrational but it feels rational so for example if I go to a movie and I pay for a ticket and it's $10 $10 ticket and I sit down and I'm watching it and in 30 minutes later I'm like this movie fucking sucks, but I already paid for a ticket So I'm just gonna watch all of it

That's irrational because you've already spent the money the money's already gone fucking sucks, but I already paid for a ticket, so I'm just going to watch all of it. That's irrational because you've already spent the money. The money's already gone. So you're not, it doesn't change anything, the fact that you're sitting there throughout a movie that you don't like. In fact, you're actually wasting your time. Right. I think the rationale that you have in it, so let's, you know,

but if you're going to use it, absolutely, this is the way I look at things. Yeah, but what if I don't for another year? Is it, would I still, I still think it's a smart. No, no, no. If you rent something like that, even though you couldn't rent something as nice as that, but even the lower models are still costing you 250 bucks an hour, you know, so I could, excuse me, 250 bucks for like four hours. So if I did something like that, all I would have to do is in my lifetime use it for five days over the course of the rest of my life. And I've pretty much negated it.

That's what I mean, if you're gonna use it, it's fucking worth it. So, totally. Have you guys seen the new trend? That's all over the internet right now? On what? Trends. So, a lot of trends. Here, oh, okay, so,

throughout most of history, kids, teenagers, have done stupid shit. Oh, I know what you're gonna talk about. Are you talking about the things put into your mouth? The fucking, the dishwasher tie pod. Yes, I'm so glad you brought this up. Katrina told me about this last week. Yeah.

You forgot to bring it up. Yeah, Justin. It's a challenge for me. Okay, it's the ones we get. Do you use these? I use these. So I use the generic version of them, but I know what they are. Yeah, you've seen them before, Justin.

They're little gel pods. And maybe Doug can look it up on YouTube, put the tied pod challenge or something. So it comes out. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, for the dishwasher, yeah. You fucking eat them. No, they don't eat them. Why?

The challenge is to put it in your mouth and keep it in your mouth for as long as you can without it breaking. Without it breaking. Right, so. That's ridiculous. Yes, why would you do that? It's totally stupid.

Doug, can you find that it is the tied pod challenge? Tied pod challenge. Why? Why do people do, why? I don't get it. You know, I remember being a stupid teenager and coming up with weird things today, but this one is just, look how many videos are.

The tied pot take, the tied pot, Wow, a lot of people are doing it. And then if this video is exploding in people's mouths and then they're spitting it out or whatever. Getting all sick and everything. Do you know the potential shit you could do to yourself with one of those things? Well, you're drinking detergents. You could completely burn the inside of your stomach.

I watched one day, I haven't watched one. I wanna see you exactly what they say or what they do. They're a short one. Watch the top view one maybe. Someone reminds me of when I was in junior high and it was popular to push on somebody's chest and make a pass out. You remember that?

Yeah. God, I couldn't believe kids were doing that. I never got into that. This is a fucking grown ass man doing it. What is he doing? What are you doing you asshole? Well, well, yeah, work needs to slap him. Well, you asshole? Well, I'm only at work and he's the slap hit. Well, he's got 260,000 views.

That's what he's doing. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Because back in the day, you would do something stupid. Or in the self-out. And you would get attention, right? Yeah. And these days, it's just amplified

because of media, social media, whatever. So, fast forward to the end, Doug. I want to see it blow up in his face. Yeah. It's almost the end of a short video. I don't see it blow up in his face. Yeah, it's almost the ends a short video I'll see the money shot Doug. Oh, no, he's talking about it. He's talking shit about it. He's not gonna actually do it Again a grown man put it on one of them kids. Oh, he's fake. Ah, he just totally faked us on that. Yeah, he did yeah Yeah, he was I get think he's just talking switch talking about how bad it is and all that stuff Tied pod challenge. Oh, oh, she's she's trying to eat it, bro. She's like chewing on it. No people are chewing on it

Why are you sure it's not it's not that they're eating it, bro? Why no, oh, yeah, she got to crack. Oh, it's definitely in her mouth. Oh, oh, she's not are you sure it's not to just eat it? Let's look up what is the tide pod challenge, Doug. If you don't mind looking that up and then letting us know. What is she doing? She's like convulsing, dude. Oh my God. Stupid.

That's so funny. You brought that up. Katrina was sharing that with me last weekend. She's like, you see what all these kids are doing? I'm like, no, she's like just the tide thing. You know where things are? No, you know what I want to make? I brought this up a while back,

but I want to make you guys watch this. It's like, I forget what the name of it is, but basically these girls, they put lipstick on, and then they go to eat something, and then they make some stupid face, and they get like millions and millions of things. What? Yeah.

Yeah. I don't even know how you search that. Okay. Maybe we'll make Drew do this. What the Tide pod challenge? Yeah. Millions and millions of what yeah, yeah, I don't even know how you search that what okay Maybe we'll make Drew do this what the tide pod challenge. Yeah You know we do what we make a fake one that's full of like protein powder or something So it's not poison yeah, and then we like we peer pressure the fuck out of them to do it Just to see if we can and then after we're glad it's just just protein powder Yeah, you know what I'm saying it's's like when you, you know, like the,

what is, there's movies where they make, what movie was it where these guys were being a haze, they were trying to get into a fraternity. Oh, the brick. Yeah, when they tie the rope to their, to their dick and then they throw the brick off the bridge, but then the rope is long, too long, so the brick. That's Home Depot, it's, I mean,

it's the things that you do. We're sprieking! Yeah, that's that. Yeah, yeah. Why can't I think It's, uh, we, uh, I made some things to do. We're streaking! Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Yeah. Why can't I think the name of that right now? Oh, cool. Oh, cool.

So the Tied Pod Challenge is a viral phenomenon where people bite into the Tied brand laundry detergent. See? Oh, I thought they were supposed to just keep it in their mouth. No, they bite it. Why? Why? Beak.

I don't know, dude. Kids are dumb. That's why just kids are dumb. That's why, just kids are dumb. Yep. Yep, that's exactly why. That's the, there's no other explanation, huh? There's zero explanation. You know what's weird, what drives me crazy is that, thinking of something as ridiculous as that,

how it could, how it takes off and people start doing it. Like, who was the person, who was the big famous person that actually got the momentum going? Some, there was somebody big who actually had to get that going for it to go viral. Cause this doesn't go viral with a bunch of kids that have 100 followers share it. That's not how this works.

Somebody, somebody with a large enough following decided to do this stupid challenge and it's gone huge. So, oh, here's the lipstick challenge. That's a problem. Yes. I wanted you guys to see this. Oh, I see this. It's possible in Asia. So we were, we's the lipstick challenge. Oh, that's a cool. Yes, I'm fine. You guys can see this. Oh, I see this. It's popular in Asia.

So, we were, we talked about this where you do the lipstick challenge or the lollipop challenge where, so what they do is they put like a lipstick on and he's got to taste the, he's got to guess the flavor, right? So she, she kisses them and then she got to figure out what the flavor is. This is literally all that happens. She put lipstick on, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Make some weird face and then like eats. That's the whole thing. That's it. And it's what it's to do what? To show you that the lipstick doesn't come off? I have no fucking idea. I was trying to see if you guys. Why is this so dumb?

It's like, it's so dumb on such a dumb level. I'm fascinated by it. Yeah. See Adam, I don't know buddy. I think the whole viral thing, it's how dummy can be. Sometimes it's unexplainable. No, it is. I'm telling you right now. How many views? There's some dumb famous girl that did this first or five ten year in views. Yeah. I don't know. Whatever. Anyways, whatever. Let's come up with a

like contribute positively to society challenge. I'll never go buy some shit It'll turn into the ice bath. Do a good job challenge. Don't be an asshole challenge. Let's start something like that To be an asshole challenge. Yeah, that would be awesome. Be nice challenge. Yeah, be cool to people I thought our I thought our ice bath challenge was brilliant and hilarious and that didn't fucking go nowhere No, dude, it went viral to like a thousand people really and hilarious and that didn't fucking go nowhere. No, dude, it went viral to like a thousand people. Yeah, for sure. So I'm gonna talk to you guys about another thing

that I read about today. I actually posted it in my Insta story. Have you guys ever heard of eco-sexuality? No. Ha ha ha ha. Making love to dirt or what? Yeah, no. What?

Get the fuck out of here. Like, hump and trees. So these are people that get turned on by nature. Now, some of it is mild, some of it is. The internet has allowed all the weirdos to come, all the weirdos in the world to find each other and actually have a voice. So 20 years ago,

connection machines. So there's a range, there's a connection of it. There's a range of eco-sexuality. On one side, the kind of, I'm really into go for whole. That's still kind of weird, but isn't terribly weird, is that sex toys are made out of eco-friendly, you know, really good.

Okay, that's all right. And, or I like to have sex in nature, which is just, I just placed that in the category I just like to have sex when people are, I like to have sex in nature, which is just, I just placed that in the category I just like to have sex when people are, I like to have sex in nature. Yeah, she likes to have sex. Then it goes all the way to people who fuck nature. Yeah.

So like, let's violate mother nature. Like dudes, banging trees, or the ground, girls, splinters. Raining on, yeah, like, and there's, and I was reading this article on it and Because it's fascinating. I wasn't googling it brings a whole new light to tree hugger, right? That's true. Treefucker New the new standard

Ag tree fuckers and all starts with a hug. You know what I'm saying? They're talking shit to the tree I'm gonna be my name a tree. How much do you want? Don't you fuck this is my, this month I'm using, that's going to be my jab for now on, on social media trolls, fucking hashtag tree fucker. Tree fucker. You are. You're gonna have to kind of tree fucker, he's a good tree fucker, you know.

Hey. Talk about one-uping someone, right? You're at a, you're like, I had to save the earth like convention or whatever you're like at this big protest with all these people. And you're talking to the guy next to you like, yeah, man, we need to protect the earth like convention or whatever you're like at this big protest with all these people Yeah, and you're talking to the guy next you like yeah, man We need to put this we're like we need to protect the earth you know what I mean is like yeah

I'm like what do you do hug trees like yeah, yeah, I like a country. I sing doing sometimes not enough man Yeah, you got to make a lot of the tree You really love nature you got a love nature Do you really make sure so is it really believe you is it really a thing at the level where people are doing this? It was an article on it and I looked it up. And you look up, you go, here's the thing about humans. Oh my God. Here's the thing about humans.

If stuff like that doesn't prove to you that we're just complex, fucking apes that were sexual apes. We have these instincts, but we're so complex that we can distort it and, you know, direct it into like weird ways where some people get turned off. There's a category of people that fuck machines and fuck cars. There's a name for it.

You got people of fuck nature, people of fuck cars. You got people who are being, it's a bunch of weird shit, man. Like where the like the exhaust? Yeah, like I'm just fuck cars, you got people who bang, it's a bunch of weird shit, man. Like where the exhaust? Yeah, I'm just thinking physics, you know. Yeah, that's all. Hey, baby, turn the car off and I tell you. Yeah.

Whoa. Oh! Hit the gas. Yeah. Anyway. Well, I think almost every 17 year old boy is fucked to sock or a fucking mattress. So, I mean, it's not that much different, right?

Yeah, but here's the difference. You're not fucking the sock or the mattress, like you're trying to fuck the sock. Like you're fucking the mattress. How sick. Right, you're envisioning your girlfriend or you're envisioning some hot chick. It's just something to put your dick and say.

You're not looking at the mattress like, oh man. Yeah. I'm gonna fuck that mattress. Well, you don't, and so is it, that's what I would assume these guys, or girls, or whoever is doing, no, they're attracted to the nature that's weird

Exactly your weird hashtag that's amen you think you're a fucking you think you love the earth There's another level out there's another level here if you're really hardcore you need to go fuck some plants next next level Right yeah make this do it. Let's do that shit Doug Doug bring it on oh no, I got more news Oh, there's a it. Let's do that shit. Doug, Doug bringing on. Oh no, no, I got more news. Oh, there's more. I got more crazy news. California, I don't know if you guys heard about this, but there's a petition that's been signed by quite a few people that California. Oh, I segregate.

What's the break apart into two states? You know, you posted that. Is that a real thing people are thinking about? They've been saying it for a long time. Some joke. It's a real. It's a onion article. No, no, it are thinking about it. They've been saying it for a long time. Some joke. It's a real... Like an onion article. No, no, it's a real thing.

Is it gonna happen? Highly, highly unlikely. Yeah. Extremely unlikely. It's in a way. But I'm gonna piss people off, but I'm gonna say this. I don't blame them. I don't blame them for having that idea.

I really don't. For people who live in California, it is the most, you wanna talk about Gap, there definitely are two Californias. I could split it up even more. But for sure, if you live in California, there's very few in the middle, it's either you make a lot of money, you make no money.

Very, very, very divided. Here's some statistics, California has one eighth of the population of the US. It's a big state, right? It also has one third of the welfare recipients, one third. So of all of the US, one third are in California. It is, the poverty rate is actually, the California has the highest poverty rate of any state. And that's all inland for the most part.

Like the majority. If you take out the coast, you take out like the Bay Area, LA, like those areas. Yeah. Like it ain't, people are struggling. Yeah. And the, the shitty part is a lot of the policies, most of the policies that are passed in California

are from these elites that live in these wealthy areas. So they raise, you know, crazy taxes and regulations and we need more environmental stuff. And so let's make it impossible to build a business here because I want everything to look clean or whatever, in the meantime, real people who don't have a shit ton of money can't even get in the market,

they can't even start anything. So it's just horrible, this huge gap. And so I can't blame, I don't think it's gonna happen, I don't think it's a wise thing. I do think these people need to get in and vote and actually start to make a difference and start to change things. He needs to be a collective change. But yeah, dude, it's, it's, yeah, you don't know that's that, huh? No, I did not know that's that. That's fascinating to me that there's that much of a drastic

difference. Bro, and the highest poverty rate, California, the richest state in the nation, there's also the rich, there's also the highest poverty rate California the richest state in the nation. There's also the rich, there's also the highest poverty rate. When you do when you control for cost of living so definitely you know poverty here earns more than poverty in Mississippi but when you look at the clock like everything in California is more expensive. Everything gas products, fucking your home, you know, everything's more expensive because we regulate in tax and create an environment that makes it just impossible.

Well, I remember when I bought my condo, you know, way back when and back then it was, I think it was three 20s, what I paid for it. Yeah, three 20 is what I paid for a three bedroom condo way back when, which now would probably go for a half a million. And I remember thinking like, fuck dude, I just, I don't like paying this much money just for a condo.

What if I went to like an hour and a half inland? You know, that's it. Just an hour and a half inland. That would have bought me like a five bedroom brand new home that's 3000 to 4000 square feet. It's just, that's a huge fucking difference, only an hour and a half in line from there. It's where we're at, the Bay is just.

We, Bay and LA is full. It is. California is, and I'm gonna stir it up. California is a fantastic example of shitty economic policy. Fan, it's the richest state we've got, areas where with lots of innovation, but for the most part, it's extremely expensive.

It's extremely inefficient. California's got this, terrible roads, public schools, state, everything sucks, nothing is run well. We're spending, I don't know, how many billions of dollars on a fast train, you guys on the speed rail? I'm putting in quote now because it will literally be the slowest speed train in the world.

It'll be one of the slowest in the world, so it's slow. It's costing so much fucking money and the people who are building it are connected to the politicians who passed it, of course, so they're reaping all the benefits. And it isn't going to benefit that many people. It's like the railroad all over again. It's a fucking, it's a boom dog. That's a cluster fuck. It's an absolute boom doggle and our state

is just a great example of how shitty things are run when you allow politicians to run a lot of shit. It's just terrible. What we need is for them to fucking shrink everything, get the fuck out of the way and let everybody, do you know very much about that train? I don't know very much about it, but is it shaping up the same way

how it was just as how political the whole world was? Oh, dude, it was like, it turned into just a person talking about it forever in the last five, 10 years. First of all, it's costing us now, I don't know, how many times more than they estimated, that always happens. Whenever government says we're gonna spend, if many times more than they estimated, of course, that always happens. Whenever government says we're going to spend, if they say they're going to spend $5 billion,

expect to spend at least $10 billion, right? So it's way more than they estimated, and the estimate was way high, because it could have been done for a lot cheaper. The train is slow as fuck when you compare it to trains that exist in like Japan and other countries where they have high speed rail. The way the track is being laid out, the place is connecting, it's not gonna benefit, it'll never, it's not gonna get back any of them, it's not gonna get back the money that it costs

to put it all together, and we're all, they're trying to make us pay for it with our taxes and all this other stuff. What is, what is it? Where is it running from, where to where? It's gonna be from the Bay Area down to, I forgot how far south, I think L.A. L.A.

Yeah, I think it'll be connecting the two. And how fast is it supposed to go? I don't know the exact speed, but I do know that it's very slow compared to other. Well, when you say very slow, I think it's like 40 miles an hour. Oh, I hear what you're saying. Yeah. No, I'm comparing it to other speed rail. So I have no idea what speed rail is.

It's got to at least go 100 if it's high speed. Yeah, I don't know. I have to look it up. Let me look it up. Because you got at least go a hundred if it's high speed. Yeah, I don't know. I have to look it up. Let me look it up. Because you're not really saving much time if you can't compete in. Yeah, you might as well drive, right? You know, yeah, no, I mean, it'll be faster than driving,

of course, but let's see, the highest cruising high speed rails in the world are around 200 miles an hour. In France, it gets up to 220. Not sure how much the California, let me see here. It doesn't say here. I mean, I'm not going to lie. I wouldn't mind having a train though that connects us to LA because how much we go to LA. And if it got us there faster than what it takes us to get to the airport, do all that stuff. And for half the price or more than half the price, that would be great. Why has Elon Musk been advised with this whole process at all?

This is why Elon talked about the Hyperloop. Yeah. He talked about creating Hyperloop as he was just frustrated with the whole. Because he sees what we're doing. He's like, that's stupid. I could do a Hyperloop for one fifth of the cost. What's the difference?

Explain the difference. Hyperloop is, it's a vacuum tube with a pods inside of it that the technology will allow them to travel extremely fast and it's also very inexpensive. It'll be estimated to be very inexpensive. Again, what's extremely fast is like, I don't know what I'm asking. I don't know what I'm asking.

The standard there is 200, so go up from there. That's a good question, I don't know. Because that would be fascinating. If you could move this thing at three, 400 miles an hour, like, you're like almost G-force. Well, now you're moving like a plane would move. You know what I'm saying? Now you could get across to a place.

That would be dope. That would be sweet. Yeah, I don't know. I saw his plans though for like some of the parking. We had this whole like underground, like subterranean, like service where you could like, underground subterranean service where you could basically park a car and then this platform kind of drops you down

into the subterranean part and kind of parks it for you. And then you come back, it comes back up, it gets another car. So it's like, you know where you go to parallel park on a city. So now that platform is gonna drop you down, subterranean is gonna park it for you, come back, you have an app that you get your car fished back for you.

It was interesting idea. Was that at CES? That was something that I saw a video for, yes. Let me show you that. That sounds cool. It was pretty dope. I was like, but again, these are such big ideas. I'm just like, oh my God,

you just want to take on like massive, massive things that'll like revolutionize everything, which that's why I appreciate about it. Well, I feel like we're due for it. Like when, like, it wasn't that, I mean, how long ago what did planes start, like commercial flying and stuff? When did that happen?

Like what year do you know? Really started taking off in the 50, 60s and 70s, really started taking off. So it's before that we were flying, but that's when the market really started. Right, the 50s, 60s and 70s, really started taking off. So it's before that we were flying, but that's when the market really started. Right, and then when it got deregulated. And then when it got deregulated, it really took off. I think Reagan, if that mistake

and started deregulating the airline industry and made cheaper airline travel much more possible. I like what they're doing right now with the whole bringing the Uber to the private jet thing. I think that's really interesting. Is that taking off for a sea model? I believe it is doing well. I haven't looked, I read an article

not that long ago about it. And I mean, more and more companies are jumping on board to do it and it's becoming competitive. So I think that's kind of cool where you could hop on a private jet for a pretty reasonable price and do it kind of cool where you could hop on a private jet for a pretty reasonable price and do it kind of Uber style or share the product. Right, right.

I think that's cool. Now we got the bird coming. The bird is the word. Are we birding or are we opening up a box? We got our Thrive Market box and unfortunately Jerry Delvedere got into it early. Did he really? Jerry! Or was it Adam Schaefer?

Now we were going to do do boxes, individual boxes. Is this an individual box or is this a proof? Yeah, this is actually your box, Sal. My box. It's your box. Let's hear what you got. And so I came in this morning and Adam was eating one of your items. You mother fucker.

Because I knew it was his box. Like fuck, this guy gets to be the first box. I'm gonna was his box. Like fuck this guy gets to be the first box. I'm gonna hit his shit. So first up on Adams or Sal's order was Sal Suds. Of course. So we got this last time and I used it to wash my dishes and it's my favorite dish soap ever. So I've been using it.

That's why I wanted more. Is it like, what do you like about it? It's such a good. It just cleans really, really good. It smells really's how it looks. It just cleans really really good. It smells really good and it's super pure. And it looks it's very pure. It looks like you're getting a lot for your is it a pretty good price? Price point.

I don't remember. I don't remember what the price was on. Are they both the same thing? Dug or something different? No, the second thing is children's shampoo. Oh yeah. So I get organic shampoo for my kids. Yeah, that's the move.

You know a lot of shampoos contain compounds that act. Yeah, make your scalp tingling. Well, not just that, but they act like, the weak estrogens in the body. So there's been cases where kids will be using these things and then we'll start to have estrogenic effects. So organic shampoos are probably better. You know, there's some people that hear that and they roll their eyes

And I I would admit that probably 10 years ago I would have been somebody who rolled their eyes hearing that also you've grown so much I'm like, you served that one up nice, right? That was great. No, but really, I would have been somebody like that and I haven't grown so much into that one, but no, what it is now is that it's, we have just become so inundated with, so last night, and what makes me think of this

is something that I did last night that I would have never done even just five years ago. And that was getting better about turning the Wi-Fi off in my bedroom. Oh, yeah, not. And it's such a simple little thing that I can do that I know cannot be really good for my body to have that running right next to my head,

next to my nightstand all night long. And to be honest with you, what's there that I don't know if it was one of you guys or one of our four members that shared that study. Did you guys see that? I was know if it was one of you guys or one of our four members that shared that study Did you guys see that I was actually a four member? Do you guys see that study? No. Oh, this was very fascinating to me and Dantra McCollough has been hammering this thing And you know if we were to talk to like one of our buddies like Lane who'd be like well That's just correlation. We have improved any causation by this. Yeah. Well, okay. Well, here's a deal

That's his voice. What they did. That's pretty good. What was they took? They took a bed of seeds. And it was like some sort of grime. They wouldn't sprout. Yeah. And they, and one of them, they, and they both them all the same, same hit, temperature,

same everything, light, water, all the same. And one of them didn't sprout. So, and the other one grew to like two, three inches after just being two weeks and a half. Was that, so that was an actual study? actual study- was that a real study that happened? So I think it was an experiment that these kids did that ended up prompting a study. Interesting. Yeah, and so- Well, we do know that, I mean, it does pose, it does present us with a very low form of radiation.

Now, we're exposed to a lot of radiation all the time, so the argument is like, what's the big deal? Your TV radiate? Well, you know, these are different things. Well, that's just, it is. That's when I was getting at with this whole shampoo thing is, you know, yeah, what's the big deal? I don't think anyone's gonna die from using Perth Plus. I don't think it's gonna kill you if you were to do that.

But it's the compounding effect. There's lots of low dosages of all kinds of different things. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, you're probably gonna have wife in your house till the day you die. You're probably gonna be using products like this forever, right? So, you know, you're a kid growing up in this.

So this is very different than when we were kids. Although when we were kids, there was a lot of shit too. But if you're a kid now, you have a baby now, and that kid grows up and is exposed to these things every single day. Yeah, for a lot of times a day. 50 years, 60 years. Now they're 60 and they're otherwise healthy, but something boom pops up.

It's hard to pinpoint what caused it. It was a combination of a lot of things, but you know, it's one of those things. Like, should we be getting cancer at the rates that we get at the ages that we get them? You know what I'm saying? I don't think so. I don't think 50-year- 60 year olds should be doing it. And here's the way I look at it. And instead of being like super hippie crunchy about it,

where I'm like, anal about everything that I use in my shower and brush my teeth with and why it's like, there's certain things. You're an anal and shower. Yeah, I can say. Apparently, if you're an anal. There's certain things that it all like last night, all it took me doing.

And it's up mind you there's there's three phones I've got two phones Katrina's got one phone and we have the laptop all sucking Wi-Fi from my router out in the living room into my room and I'm thinking You know, it's just me actively turning that off when I'm asleep anyways and not using it It's not like I'm having to change my lifestyle. It's not a major change. It's just being aware of that and doing it Same thing goes I'm not like married, I don't even know the name of my shampoo right now. So using some organic shampoo that's better for me to me, those type of things make a lot of sense. And I think it depends on the person.

So like paraben, it's something. And if it means I can have one more diet, cocoa year, I mean, I think that's what you can win. Well, think about this, like parabins, which are found a lot of shampoos, parabins have been shown to have estrogenic. So Xenoestrogens are chemicals that have a weak affinity, typically a weak affinity for the estrogen receptor in the body. That in children, in particular, developing body,

probably not a good idea, especially young girls who seem to be having their periods at younger and younger ages. Like today, did you know the average age of a girl getting her period like a hundred years ago was around 17? See, today it's like 13. So you think that's the, I think that's like all the growth hormone and all the food and it's a lot of the stuff. Right.

It's a lot of stuff. So anyway, next product, they're done. So, yeah, all right, continue in a dry, drive market just got like a three minute, four, five minute commercial there. So we got some pirates booty and this also got this is what I got into. Yeah, you ate one of my kids next.

So this morning, I was so hungry, I had an interview and I was here early. And so I was like, man, I gotta get something in my stomach. I gotta have time to go running to food. So I dug into your shit. First time I'd ever. They're good, huh? Yeah, really good.

My kids love them. Yeah, my kids like love those two Yeah, the whole the whole bag is is 19 grams of carbs only 140 calories and I liked it better than I like Cheats, but it's not ideal You know, it's not like I have to do something but if you're gonna give your kid a process snack That's like a treat that I'll give him sometimes. No, I like it next Half-fifty bag of macadamia nuts. Yeah, that was that was who is that? The box was open what can I say?

We also got some other things well wrapped. I gotta say that about They do an excellent with all their recycled paper, right? Avocado oil. Oh, yeah, we use that for high temperature for high temperature cooking. Avocado oil. Oh yeah, we use that for high temperature. Primal kitchen. For high temperature cooking, avocado oil is really, really good. Revolution in a box, super tampons. Organic? Oh, like cotton. I was gonna tell you you need some of those.

That's good. So get that shopping now. So those are obviously for my girlfriend. But why? Why is that obvious? So feminine hygiene products are, are many times have chemicals in them because they're regulated

like textiles. So the cotton may have pesticides, they may have chlorine in them, and you're putting that in your vagina, or on your vagina, which is an area that is pretty permeable. You can absorb things through there. So people don't think about that.

You're gonna use this tampon or these pads all the time. You're better off going with the organic. Oh, that's the other trend happening right now. The coffee enemas. That's not a trend, that's better than forever. Oh, no, it's hot and trending right now. It's on the rise again. It's on the rise of people.

In fact, that and then the alcohol straight to the ass, right? That's it. That with the people that drink their own pee. It's like all part of that scene. Wow, sorry, not to be a tourie there. Yeah, we've been derailed more than once here. Sorry. Safe, not synthetic penny liners made with organic cotton.

There you go. Sal. This is obviously Sal's box. Going final sound, nothing like this box. Next is some L-theanine. Theanine. Theanine, I like to take that with coffee if I'm not gonna have my chumera.

And the final thing in the box is some extra virgin organic olive oil. And this is from California, from Napa. Good stuff. You gotta have olive oil if you're a tyin. Yeah. Man, mandatory. I like to rub that on myself. Just lather everything. All right, we're ready for the bird. Bring all the birds! This quaz brought to you by Organify. For those days you fall short on getting your

If our bodies truly are adaptation machines, when will our bodies adapt to modern society? Why haven't our bodies learned how to more efficiently utilize excess amounts of sugar, operate on less sleep, et cetera? When will our genes catch up to the environment?

Sure they have. Sure they have evolved, like, are you kidding me? They have, but it also takes a long time. That's first thing. It takes a long time for evolution to happen. And the second thing is we kind of slow it down because we're not letting people, and I'm not saying we should do this by the way. We don't let people die and we don't let people. Wait a second here, I'm gonna challenge that a little bit.

Our body's a adapt to the level of intake of sugar and things that we do fairly quick. You can be somebody who doesn't, for example, let's take us coming off fasted right now. We're all talking about how we feel so great right now. Well, none of us probably have consumed over a hundred grams of sugar right now. And if we were to go eat two hundred grams of sugar, which is not that crazy. That's somebody smashed in a box of cookies one day, you know, or half a box or

what about that, which all of us probably in our life have done that at one time. If I were to do that right now, I would be sick to my stomach. But I most certainly could ramp myself up by tomorrow doing 50 grams, the next day doing about 100 grams, the next day I have to do about 150 and then 200 grams. And then before you know it, my body will be adapted to in taking that amount of sugar and not getting sick. Oh no, totally.

I think what they're asking though isn't necessarily that. I think what they're talking about is more like, why aren't we healthy in modern society? Why are our bodies, why haven't we evolved to do well in modern lifestyle? To handle things that weren't designed to be in our body? Yeah, exactly. And it's because it's new, it's relatively new.

Modern lifestyle, shit, even the agricultural revolution in the grand scheme of things wasn't that long ago. But if you add in, if you add in processed foods or lifestyle with technology, that's like, that's not even a second in the time of human evolution. So that's number one, but number two, to make evolution work, you gotta let people who's bodies can't handle it die

and the ones that can pro create. We do a good job of keeping people alive. Now, that doesn't mean we're living great, but we're doing a pretty good job of keeping people alive in an environment that is sub-optimal. I mean, again, I'm not promoting this, but if we just let people do what they want,

we didn't take care of them. You know, you'd have a lot of people dying a lot sooner and the ones that survived, then you throw that, you know, thousands and thousands a year later, all of a sudden now the best diet is high sugar, processed food, low activity, we do well on, you know, all these different things that we're experiencing.

There are there are also I feel I feel like when you put it in that when you put it in that perspective of It is only like a second in in the grand scheme of things of all of evolution I think we've actually evolved quite a bit with the lack of sleep and the ability to consume that much when you look at what just 60 years ago a hundred years ago What what did that look like the lifestyle like the like the go-go, and the tech, and the stress, and everything that we're doing, I mean, it's amazing that we have been able to

be able to handle that. I think we've adapted pretty damn well in the short amount of time. I mean, it's... Well, so stress is an interesting one. Don't you think, okay, just envision this for a second. Take somebody from 1910 and just drop them in, you know, other head would explode. Right. Drop them into Silicon Valley

and tell them to survive for a day. And it would just be so overwhelming. I think they'd have a better chance though than somebody from today being thrown in 1910. So, I mean, so when people talk about stress and how stressful it is today, like, I want to be clear, although we do have a lot of stress, you know, in modern life, I definitely would never trade it for stress that we've experienced different stress. It's different stress. It's different. It's mild and it's not going to kill you.

It's not like a lion's going to attack me out of a cave. Or it's not like I might not be able to find food. This body's still responding the same way, which is weird. Yeah, over certain things, like somebody sends you a message via text, and you have that same, you know, like stress response that you would otherwise.

Dude, it's like today you go home, and you're like, oh fuck, work was so stressed, I was stuck in traffic, and my boss is being a dick, and I have to do all these, answer all emails and a hundred years ago was oh my god We don't have food. We're not gonna have food for the next week There's no way to make money. What are we gonna do? Like it's different. I just think there was less things, right? So we've we've compiled on top of all these things like it as far as like being efficient and trying to like make our lives easier We've added so many things that now I think it's more of a management issue.

So it's like, what do I shut off? What do I focus on? Focus is that that that portion that back then it's like you knew what your job was. You got up, you did this, you did that. It was hard as fuck, but guess what? Like you knew exactly what you're doing. Like today it's like, oh my God, I'm just pounded with a fucking thousand things. The thing today, I can say, I confidently that I think a lot of people are missing this idle time. There is no more idle time. You are, if you're quiet and alone, you have nothing to do,

you're still doing something. You're still watching TV or you're on the internet or you're on social media or you're doing something that is very stimulating versus in the past at the most they be reading. You know what I mean? Or they would just be quiet, like they would just be out and it would be alone, me by myself.

I walked out of the house, I'm gone. Nobody can reach me because it was no way to do that. And there's hours where it's just me and my thoughts. And a lot of processing and growth happens from that. This is why I think people love nature so much. You see so many people who are like city folk who go out and I'm one of these people by the way. This is something recent for me where I started experiencing nature the way that I think I should experience it for the first time relatively recently. And it blew me away. I'm out there and I'm like,

this is the most enjoyable, rejuvenating thing I've ever done. And really, it's because I have, there's nothing. It's just me and maybe another person and nature and I'm with my thoughts and I'm thinking and just experiencing and growing. And we kind of miss that. And I think humans have always had that.

You know, if you look at shit, man, you guys ever trip out over the ingenuity of the human mind when you consider what people were able to do in ancient times, like the pyramids, how precise they were built and the dimensions and how the- You and I were guilt set people had back then is just astounding.

You and I were just tripping out on this one here in LA. Remember we were looking out at all the skyscrapers and thinking like don't you ever think it's so fascinating like this whole thing that we've created out of nowhere. It's crazy. It's but they didn't have modern technology and they understood like there were calendars that were written thousands of years ago

that are we're accurate down to like the millisecond in terms of what would happen with the constellations, the sun, the moon, the sky. The tight all night long. Exactly, you got nothing else to do. Here's another great example. If you ever wanna see how fucking intelligent and things we can achieve when we have idle time,

look at what prisoners accomplish in prison. Look at the, you know that there are complicated economic markets in prisons with drugs and cigarettes and sex and food. There are, I mean, ingenious ways that these people have developed ways to communicate that they've developed weapons and things because they got nothing better to do.

They're just, and these are not necessarily the brightest people in the world. I'm sure there's very bright people in there, but a lot of them aren't necessarily, and yet they're coming up with these brilliant things that they're doing or these ways it, because they're just sitting there, and I think we're missing that.

So, you know, that's a big one. The other thing we should talk about is epigenetics and how you, what you do now is also... It transfers. It transfers to your kids. They're showing that like a mother is in a stressful type situation or whatever, or her life is very stressful that the child comes out

and is more likely to be hypersensitive to stimulus or whatever, and it makes perfect sense when you think of evolution in the sense that the babies, genes are getting ready to be born into an environment that is being, you know, at that point, the best judge of the environment is the mother. So if the mother is in this type of environment,

then the genes of the child are gonna develop to be able to survive in whatever environment they're going into. So that's even getting changed aside from just, you know, the regular genes. But as far as, you know, adaptation is concerned, your body adapts all the time. But if you're talking about evolution, that's going to take a long time to happen. And technology evolves so much faster than our bodies do. That I don't think the next frontier of an interweave with, yep, with the human race. I do not think the next frontier of evolution is organic natural evolution. I think the next frontier is humans will be evolving

themselves through technology. I don't think it's gonna be like, Oh, I believe we're seeing it already. Yeah, I don't think you're gonna go a thousand years in the future and see like humans with super long fingers because we type and, you know, our bodies adapted to our diet. I don't think it's gonna happen. I think we're gonna force it.

Or we're gonna be embedded with chips and computers. Yeah, we'll build it into us. And we're gonna build it into us in four-hour-sourced to adapt that way. So it's gonna happen suddenly, but it'll happen. Oh, you know what, we're talking about sleep. I didn't even tell you guys. So I did, have you guys tried the four-sigmatic sleep blend?

Yeah, the sleep stick? No. Wow. That'll, you'll sleep like a, like your dad. I didn't know about that, probably. It's a stick, you said? So it's that. Oh, it's a stick you said. So it's you know, it's called a sleep stick, but it's a like a little, you know,

the long packets that they'll come in. Yeah, yeah, you tear off the top and you pull. Yeah. So, you know, Raishi, Ashwaganda, Thienine and Trip Defant. So Thienine and Trip Defant by themselves will chill you the fuck out, but you throw in some Raishi and some,

which I always, I love it. No, no, no, no, Camel or Melatonin. I throw in some right she and some which I always I love it No love right? Camel or melatonin. I didn't add anything. I just had the sleep stick. I did it, you know 45 minutes before bed. Is it like a tea? Does it make the you can make it warm? You can do a warm and actually taste you know halfway decent but I Pounded it because that's how I take supplements. I'm not drinking it for the taste or whatever Slept hard like the kind of sleep where you wake up and you're like, well, did I just fucking wake like?

Like did I just sleep on that? Was I in a coma? Yeah, I didn't even see did we get that or did you order that yourself? No, no, we got it and I took it but you know, we're even because you ate my kids snacks I'll give you one to try. But no, it's the it's their sleep stick. So for sigmatic, what I've been using from there is a lot of other individual stuff because I like to take things by themselves, but now I'm experimenting with their blends. So they have a brain stick, they have a sleep stick, they have other blends that they do for performance

or whatever, kind of cool the way they put them together is really good. So I'll be experimenting with those. Cool. Next question is from Joe Begadona. Yo, Joe! If we are built for survival, good so I'll be experimenting with those. Cool. Next question is from Joe Begodone. Yo Joe, if we were built for survival, how come our palettes don't crave greens and veggies

that are nutrient dense? They do. They do, we just threw them the fuck off. I just confused them. What did you guys crave after your fast? A salad bro, I want to, I want to vegetables. That was brussels sprouts. This is a, why I like the question is that I think I would have

agreed with Joe back then and thought the same, same way too until I experienced like fasting and then dieting, extreme dieting where I was restricting for a long period of time. For the first time ever in my life that I feel my body crave those things. I never crave greens before, but I have now. And and I have and that's just in the last five six years Have I even did I ever make that connection? I just you've been dampening all those signals. Yeah, I'm trying to talk to you

well, you're you're these signals exist And have and we're evolved in a completely different environment largely different environment than the one that we live in. So I'll give you a good example. If you try to give a kid something that tastes bitter, they'll probably spit it out. If you give them something that's sweet, they'll likely eat it. Now why do kids want something sweet and something

and they don't want something that's bitter? And this is largely true for adults. Yeah, it's safe. Yeah, sweet sweet in nature sweet usually means not poisonous and in nature bitter usually means or many times means Poison well, you don't think it's also the the subconscious effect that they're getting to with a Demental stimulation from the uptake of the sugar coming into their body to it could be but even before that happens Just this like if you give a kid artificial sweetener or something that doesn't have sugar, right? The taste of sweet signals something to us.

Now, we can break it down now, but if humans didn't break it down, they just knew that they liked it. And the reason why the body evolved, liking certain tastes is because those tastes meant something in nature. It meant I'm gonna get certain nutrients or it meant easy source of energy.

Another reason why we like the sweet taste is because in nature, if I eat something sweet, it's probably packed full of easily digestible and quick to use energy in the form of fructose, which is nature's sugar. And because sugar is relatively rare to come across, if you're in the wilderness, you're not going to find naturally growing fruit all over the place. Every once in a while you will, but it's pretty rare. And honey, which is one of the more concentrated forms, is hard to come by. And when

you do come by it, you got gotta get through bees to get to it. But when you do get it, you eat the fuck out of it because it's easy, simple, energy, and in the context of survival, it makes a lot of sense. So, these cravings came from evolution. The problem is, is we've thrown them off. Your body will adapt to your environment by up regulating and down regulating receptors

for certain things. This is true for everything. Sex is one of them. We all crave sex, but if you're thrown a shit ton of variety and sex your way, you'll start to crave more and more novelty and your desires will get more and more extreme versus if you abstain from sex for like a year and didn't see, you know, around women, weren't around anybody for a long time, you know, it could be somebody that isn't that attractive, it could be whatever, and you're going to be attracted to them because those

your body's really craving, you know, that sex. Same thing happens with the food. This is why we recommend- So, what happens in prison? Exactly. This is why we recommend people cut processed food out or one of the reasons why. Because processed foods are engineered and designed to hijack all the shit. And there's no way. If I have, if I'm eating all these processed foods,

these highly palatable foods, I'm gonna lose my craving for greens and veggies and fruits because now I'm gonna perceive them as bland. Yeah, you know, it's not attached to's not attached to those vitamins, those minerals. It's engineered to make you get that same response, but at the same time, you're not getting the fiber and everything else that's gonna come from nature at the same time. No, we've focused most of our energy on, can we, can this food last a long time in the shelf? Because that brings down the cost, right?

It makes it easy to transport. And how good does it taste? That's the two areas that we've invested most. This helped us to survive longer. We had more abundance of food that way once we figured out how to farm and get into agriculture and all that. So it's like, you know, what benefited us now is a hindrance. It is, especially all the time, money,

and energy we've spent on taste, because now I'll bite into something that's processed and it's causing something in my body that just wouldn't happen. It's not gonna happen in nature. It's gonna, the time that I reach palate fatigue, palate fatigue is when you're eating something, eating something, you get sick of it and you don't want any more. We've all experienced it. Where you may not necessarily be stuffed, you're just sick of eating that particular same flavor. Well, foods that are

processed are engineered to extend that to prolong. Yeah, to get you to the point where Palette Fatigue doesn't happen much later. This is why you can eat a bag of cookies or a bag of chips, but if I were to fill a bag up with plain boiled potatoes or something like that, you would eat some of them and then after a while, I don't wanna eat anymore. So, you know, that's really what it is. It really boils down to that. Now, can you get to a point where your body signals now, point you in the right direction?

You can, take some work though, eliminating all process foods, experience fasting, so you know what real hunger feels like. You understand that. You start to learn now that sometimes I'm hungry, just because I'm supposed to be hungry or sometimes I'm angry because I'm bored. So fasting is a great way. It also resets those receptors.

And then just paying attention to the signals of your body. And just through paying attention, those signals then your body will start to make, or you will start to make associations between those signals and the foods that you're eating. And actually I was listening to one of our episodes and Adam, this was such a great example when we were talking about the fast and I asked you guys how well you're sleeping. It wasn't even something that you had thought of, right? Right.

And then you started kind of putting it together. Now knowing that, can you sense how now you're making more of a positive association? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I think that's just it is. I think it takes, it's not like one time of fasting and also and oh my god, I hate it green. It's now I love greens. It's like each time I fast or any time I I restrict the hardcore restrict calories in my diet, it always kind of teaches me something new about my body. And I'm always looking for the pot of things. I want to want greens.

I want to want to sleep better. I want these things. And so I think you've got to reframe it for yourself. And as you, at each time that you do that, that's what you're searching for. It's like, okay, I'm gonna go through this fast or I'm gonna go in this diet. And when I do that, like, I wanna get,

and that's why I like the fast things and things so much for craving greens. If you can't tell you what, if you don't eat and try and go as long as you possibly can, as many days you can without eating, at one point, fucking green beans will sound good. They will sound good. I promise you, you can hate them.

But if you go long enough, they will sound good and they will taste good when you eat them. It's amazing. I read the other days, people always ask me, what's the difference between craving and being hungry? And that used to be a very difficult question for me to answer because I was like, oh, how do I help define that? So I don't remember where I read this.

So I apologize if I'm not giving you credit, but it was one of the wellness experts out there. So, you know, again, I apologize for not naming you, but it was the best way of explaining it that I've ever heard. When you have a craving, you, there's a particular type of food that you enjoy. For example, if you're with your friends and your friends are like, man, I'm fucking starving, I'm so hungry and I say to them, oh shit, let's go eat Mexican. No man, I'm not in the mood for Mexican. What about a burger? No, I'm not in the mood for, you know what I want? I want a pizza, that's what I want to eat.

That's a craving. When you're hungry and you're legit hungry, everything is out there. Anything. Yeah. You put food in front of me and I'm gonna want that. I'm actually gonna desire to eat that. That is the difference and 100% I experienced that

with fasting, 100%. You could put anything in front of me and I would have looked at it and be like, God, that looks good. Oh, wait that. That is the difference. And 100% I experienced that with fasting. 100%. You could put anything in front of me and I would have looked at it and be like, God, that looks good. Oh, wait. Yeah. The broth and the bust Brussels sprouts that I have to were the was the best broth I've ever had and best bowl of Brussels sprouts I've ever had. And I don't think it was the way Katrina prepared it that night. I think it was because I was so damn hungry that any and I experienced this when I was competing. So I don't think you necessarily have to fast, if that's not your thing, but I do believe that you got a restraint and you've got to push yourself

at that point where you're not used to, because we believe it or not, we're all just totally oversaturating ourselves with all this junk and food. And even if it's not junk, just food, period. Sometimes you can be a healthy eater, but you still are, you've trained yourself to eat every two to three hours. And so you never really go that long and really understand what it feels like to want some sort of fuel and any fuel. Well, it's just a healthy practice to deplete your reserves. You know, to just kind of go through that and then, you know, reintroduce it. And I know athletes, I wish I would have known that,

even for performance, just to restrict and then kind of reintroduce and then get that ridiculous energy jolt that I felt after that. It's just like, it's amazing. And it's funny, as I'm thinking, hearing you guys talk, a lot of growth happens when we feel uncomfortable. A lot of personal growth. So let's use sadness as an example. Sadness is an emotion. And hunger, I'll put

hunger kind of up there. It's a feeling, right? It's not quite an emotion, but it's a feeling that we have that we don't, we don't at all allow ourselves to experience humans in modern Western societies in particular, simply for the most part, never experience what real hunger is, since we're born, we're fucking eating all the time, just bottom line. Think about sadness, like sadness sucks, nobody wants to be sad, but imagine if we could never feel sadness.

Imagine all the growth and learning and stuff that you're not sad. If you're not sad, you wouldn't be happy. You wouldn't need the other all, ying, ying, ying. That's why fasting when you fast, or that's why when you restrict, or you do, and that's why fasting, I believe, why fasting is in every major religion, and why they advocate for it. The reason why when you fast, you feel

sharp afterwards is because you're not numb. You're the opposite of numb. You're allowing yourself to feel, and there's learning and growth that comes from feeling something. And if you never allow yourself to feel real hunger, you're not getting the growth from it. So, I know it's turned into a fasting conversation, but really, we have fucked ourselves so bad with our food

that you cannot trust your body's senses anymore. The intuitive nutrition guide talks a lot about this, so if you just want a guide and just want to follow something or have some advice, it's super inexpensive. You can find it in our site, mindpumpmedia.com. Next up is Healthy, Happy, and Free. You've all been working out for years. Do you still find it exciting and fun? Good question. She always has great questions. She does. That's your hand, right? been working out for years. Do you still find it exciting and fun?

Good question. She always has great questions. She does. That's your aunt, right? No, this is not anybody connected to me. That's not your aunt? No. Oh, your aunt is the other, she asks the good questions

to you all. Eat sleep run is my good. That's why healthy, happy free, eat sleep run. That's my cousin. That's my cousin, my bad. I love it. They dominate the cause. But you know what, yes and no. Yes and no. There's

times I still find it very exciting and fun and then there's times I don't. Because for me, a lot of the motivation behind continuing for years and years and years of doing it is because I just want to be healthier. I want to improve my quality of life. And so, I treat it that way. And sometimes I do the things that I have to do so I can do the things I want to do later. I take that approach to it. But there's still our times that are very exciting for me.

I love to set new goals. You know, I love to set new goals and try and push my body to different levels. I mean, I think probably out of all of us, I probably put myself in the most uncomfortable situations as far as their training and routine and diet. So I enjoy that and I get a kick out of it. So, but it's, I don't know, it's ever been flow, man.

Sometimes I'm all about it. Sometimes I hate talking about it. Sometimes I, it's all I talk about all day long. And sometimes I enjoy talking about something that has nothing to do with working out. So, yeah, I don't know. So as Doug's reading this question, I'm thinking myself like, yeah, I always love working out. And then I think about when I first started working out, when I first started working out, I'm, you know, 13 years old, 14 years old, I'm working out. I started out in my parents' backyard. And it was, there's no words. I fell so much in love with working out and lifting weights in that. And this is the feeling I had that I got from it.

And the ability to change my body through it and getting stronger and the science and the sport and the history and the, it was, I'll never have that feeling again. I remember the first time I had a gym membership or at least to a big gym. The first big gym I ever belonged to was the 24th Fitness, the one on Hillsdale, the old one. And I remember my mom, this is before I even have a driver's license, you know, my mom dropped me and my cousin off for our first fucking workout in 24-A fitness. And we walked in there and I had some money on me. So I looked behind the counter and I saw

the premixed American bodybuilding drinks. And I bought Blue Thunder and my cousin bought a Mino something 3000. But I remember blue thunder because I looked at all the bottles and I read it and I had the most ingredients. I'm like this for sure is gonna fucking be awesome. I remember that. So I grabbed this and to me it was you know it was the promise of what it could do for me and all that stuff but I was just excited that I was could buy this adult

supplement in a gym. So I buy this supplement we walk, and I'll never forget walking in to the machine area and then seeing the freeway area and just looking at everything. And I was so excited to be there. I was reading the machines. I, me and him did everything, literally everything in the gym. We did a workout and then we went from one machine and did two or three sets

and went to the next machine and did two or three sets. We were in that gym for probably three, maybe four hours total. I mean, we did every single piece of equipment. I got a pump, then the pump went away, then I got tired, but because I was so excited, it was a completely different experience, totally exciting, totally fun. It reminds me of falling in love when you meet someone and you fall in love, but at some point, that feeling goes away. You can't live like that because you'll die. And then you become, you have this kind of long-lasting relationship, this long-lasting attachment and partnership. And that's where I'm at now with exercise for me.

I no longer get that same fucking ridiculous excitement that I got when I was 15, 16 years old, it evolved into a mature sort of a process. Totally, and that's totally my same experience where I was very pumped and motivated to work out. It was exciting, it was fresh. Like I felt like, man, this, and of course, the results were ridiculous in the beginning, you know, and like everything I was doing was, was making impacts. And, you know, over

the years, like I just would barbell train like crazy for every sport I was doing, because I just knew that I, it would translate, I would get more explosive, I would get more powerful. And, you know, like people would notice and they'd notice my arms and my back and all this stuff. I get feedback from it and so it just keeps driving it. Then it was the evolution of where I go from not being identified as an athlete anymore and how do I now steer my way through fitness and kind of make this process still something that I enjoy and keep part of my everyday lifestyle.

And it was easy because I always enjoyed the training part of it. So that was something that I just would always kept with me. But I did get fatigue over barbell training. And I had to do something different. And that's the great part. There's just so many different directions that you could take your body through fitness. I think that if you start to feel that fatigue and you start to feel that whole home kind of energy towards it, really just look into something else, look into doing something else that may be novel,

even if it's for a couple of weeks, and just get that spark kind of reignited, because I mean, we all kind of go through that where it's like, it becomes a chore or a jala, I didn't get my workouts in, I didn't get this in, I feel the impact right away if I haven't been working out in a while, and I feel like shit, and I know that that's like

a driving force for me to check myself, like I gotta get into it. But what direction am I gonna go this time? You know, listening to you guys, it makes me remember and hearing Sal, go back all the way doing as a kid. I think that it was really fun when I was trying to piece it together.

Like I did, I enjoyed the struggle. I enjoyed the struggle, enjoyed trying to learn, but I really feel like, and by no means am I saying I have figured it all out, I'm still learning about my body. But for the most part, really understanding, grasping, what my body needs, and what I need to do to change it a certain way, or to build strength, or to lean out, or to gain weight, to do all those things.

For the most part, I feel like I've put together. So I've lost the fun in it, and I think I've transitioned into looking at it like more like an investment. And sometimes I'm invest in heavily into my body and into myself, and sometimes I'm splurging and being irresponsible. And I'm totally okay with weaving in and out of that.

And that I find fun. I find it fun that I can totally say, you know what, right now, I don't have huge fitness goals right now. I'm not trying to compete on a stage. I got nothing to prove. I'm not trying to get shredded. I'm not trying to follow some crazy diet right now. I'm not trying to figure something out my body is doing.

I'm splurging right now. But by splurging to me, I'm still responsible because I know that splurging too hard or too long could also have a major adverse on my effect. And it could also hurt some of my investments. So I kind of look at it like that, like this every time I work out and I train, it's an investment on myself. And sometimes I'm just investing enough

to keep myself healthy and in good shape. And then sometimes I'm investing very heavy into that and I'm very focused in that arena, but I think it's lost, it's fun. Like I don't go to the gym. Like this is, wow, that was so much fun. I've, oh my God, I never felt that before. I think that you kind of lose that after you've been doing

that for a long time and you've kind of figured things out. Do you remember the first time? Because you and I have a similar history in terms of like we're more from, we came more from the bodybuilding side not that that I competed but from that world, right? Do you remember the first time you went into a real bodybuilding gym with that felt like? Yeah, what I the last time I remember expressing something exciting and I actually just didn't and I were together and friends and it was before my pump and while we were working together on level up, the last time I got really excited about something was getting in competitive shape because it

did take my knowledge to an elevator and I remember him and I would be meeting every week and I come on like, problem, this is crazy dude, I'm noticing this and I'm noticing that and I would be sharing sharing stuff with him that you know, it's all it was all science and all information that I knew but I had never really applied to myself. And I had, that was a lot of fun for me. Competing was, so it's not like that long ago. That was just a couple of years ago that I was competing. So I was having a lot of fun.

But in order to have fun for me, I needed like challenge myself in a completely new arena now within fitness then and that was something for me. So, you know, but I also don't think I don't think you want that to be your driver because I look at that. It goes away. How can I get consistent?

It reminds me of people that love listening to all these motivational speaker guys. Like I was just looking at what's his name, Andy Vercela, for the first forum guys. I sent that over to you just to look in there, by the way. And you know, listen to this stuff. And I like the stuff that he's saying, but then I think about like all the people that like have to follow and listen to that. It's all a lot of the same stuff.

You know, it's this hype and motivation. Fuckin' get your shit together and grind and people that are telling you this. How bad do you want it? Yeah, yeah, it's kind of that stuff and I'm just not a real big fan of that. Not because I watch it and listen to it, I'm like, fuck yeah, I get that same feeling.

It does affect you, but. Yeah, it does affect me too positively like that, but then I'm also very aware that it's a false motivation. It's not real, it's not internal, it's not intrinsic, right? I'm not the one who's doing that and that will be short lived. I think this is kind of the same thing too. If you rely on the gym to be fun,

you'll probably stop investing at one point. It is. I remember like the first time I went to a golds, I was 18 and I remember walking in and I saw a T-Bar row, but the like legit one, not with the chess pad, not the weak sauce one, but the actual T-Bar row. Yeah. And I saw it and I got so fucking excited because I'd seen Arnold use a T-Barrow and pumping iron.

I was like, they got one. But now, I mean, now, for me, I work out, I still enjoy it, I still like it. I'm extremely consistent, I almost never miss workouts unless I'm on a trip or something. So I still enjoy it, but it's not this exciting, super exciting fun thing.

It's just, I enjoy what it does for me. I enjoy the process, it can be very meditative. And that's pretty much it. And I think that's the key. You know what I think is fun and exciting is that I know that I put the work in and the time in to learn. And so I love that I have that tool.

I feel like I have, I have overall, all these years of doing so many different things and pushing myself to different levels within the space, it's a very good feeling to have that in my back pocket to know that anytime I want, I can completely morph and change my physique, I can make myself feel a certain way. I know I have that.

Knowing you have that full control. Yeah, the knowledge is there and then it's only a matter of applying it in whatever direction that you wanna go. I like that, I find that fun. I, I, I, that's what I meant by the splurging thing is, I find it cool that I can let off the throttle for a few months and maybe put my energy towards another part of my,

invest in another part of my life that's showing me different types of returns, whether that be family and relationship or money and business, and I can enjoy all the fruits from that of returns, whether that be family and relationship or money and business. And I can enjoy all the fruits from that. And be not so heavily focused on fitness and not be scared either that like, oh my God, I lost all my like 10 years ago, looking at the way I look and feel right now, I would

be freaking out. 10 years ago, knowing what I built my physique up to just three, four years ago, seeing where it's at and then seeing where I'm at right now, I would be shitting myself. But the level of confidence that I have in myself and knowledge and experience, it's not a big deal to me. I know exactly what it would take me to get back to at whatever point I want to get to. Exactly. You know, here's a good challenge.

If you're one of those people that needs that kind of motivation and that fun, I challenge you to complete every maps program. You'll have at least a year of motivation the entire time. Complete, anabolic, complete performance, dropping off. Esthetic, complete. Like, do all of them and that'll get you through that whole, like, I need to have a lot of fun. Mm-hmm.

Next question is from Banana Yanana. What is your opinion on all the hype around veganuary? Oh my god. This is just coming up with whatever. Brilliant. Brilliant marketing. Brilliant. To name a month and then say,

Here's everybody's try veganism for a month. You know how many people are gonna fucking try? It's blowing up. I've seen so many people on social media. Yeah, and they're her. So I'm on both sides of this, right? I really like it and I'm really not a fan of it. So I'm not a fan of veganism.

I like Movinber better. But I do, yeah, like Movinber too. But I do like and I do subscribe to people, you know, going vegan for a month or trying that. I think it'll teach you a lot about yourself, your relationship with food. You might notice some really positive effects, your body. What I don't like in the unfortunate part is I do know that a majority of the people that

will go through this will also, all of a sudden now, attach themselves to, oh my God, it's the diet and all of a kind of, and then and all of a sudden it'll become anism, you know, and it turns into that. So, but I think it would be a great thing. I would totally do this. I would, we're doing it with keto right now, right? We all just kind of fasted and then we said we're going to run keto.

It's probably going to be a lot of. You just have to follow the vegan you are with what we come up with February, some kind of carnivore. Go the opposite way, right? Go keto, go hard keto, and then maybe go somewhere in between with paleo, and then you move into like a carb cycling mind to whatever. Paleo, that doesn't work.

No, no. I think it's, I just like, first off, people trying this, I think it's good because it's exposing them to new foods, it's exposing them to cutting other foods out. If people are aware enough, it could show them, you know, positives, negatives, all kinds of things. Now they don't touch themselves. I'm getting, I'm getting now that Doug has pulled

this up in the screen now. They're blasting you with like, yeah, this is the, that's why you feel bad about yourself. This is brilliant. If for animal lovers, because I guarantee you this is motivated by, not by we want everybody

to become a vegan because it's healthy, but by we don't want anybody to eat animals. 100%. Brilliant marketing, because they've been trying a long time to get people to become vegan and the ways they've been doing this stupid, it's so bad. Like what the health documentary? Complete bullshit, terrible, you know, the way they presented everything was so biased and so terrible, or you have these PETA campaigns that they just turned people off. There was one that I posted on the forum where it said, eat chicken and your child will have a small dick.

Not making that up. Google that. Did you guys see it? In the forum? What? Trying to say that the chemicals in chicken and chicken cause so much sense to them. Anyway, my mom hated chicken.

Yeah. Wow. Your mom ate horse. So this is brilliant because when you get me, when you create a, like a trend and you get everybody on board with a trend, like you said, like November, look what that did. That got everybody trying to grow a mustache. A mustache. This is absolutely brilliant.

This is going to get a lot of people to try to be weak because everybody could do something for a month, right? I like it. Pumptober. You see me. I think everybody can be like, I won't eat meat for a month. So I'm gonna try veganism.

Right, I dare you to listen to Mind Pump every day for months. Yeah, yeah. Let's create a pump for your mind pump, right? Month of my pump. Pump, pump, February. Yeah, and I'm cool with it. I mean, I think because we've all been, and I'm probably the person who asked this question,

probably thought we would slam it or be all anti. I'm not, I'm not a fan of the bullshit marketing like you were talking about right now, like what the health and all that stuff. I think there's lots of benefits to somebody eating this way for a while. Just I think it's unfortunate how many people get manipulated though into it's best,

because then it turns into something like, just six months ago, you didn't give a shit about the cows. Now all of a sudden, you care a big time about the cows. You know, the general rules apply. You want to, you want to eat vegan? Stay away from the heavily processed foods. I know way too many people who are like, oh, I'm, you know, I went vegan.

It's tough, man. And I feel terrible, or I gained body fat, or whatever, and I look at what they were eating. And I was so poorly planned. It was like potato chips and it was processed vegan foods that are made to taste like bacon. Isn't most just a bunch of shit. Isn't it most all soy, kaka too? Soy is altered.

Soy is very, very, very altered, heavily covered in glyphosate. Which I feel like most people that are vegan like 80% of the diet makes up of soy products. Soy, soy, that has very little flavor and you can mold it and make it taste like a lot of different things. So when you go to the store and you're thinking yourself, I wanna eat a vegan burger, it's probably soy. And they've engineered the fuck out of it

to make it taste like beef or whatever. So stay away from the processed foods and plan out your meals so you get your nutrients, probably a good idea to take a multivitamin, but if you do it for just a month, you're probably going to be okay. And that's pretty much it. Oh, it's genes. Daga, is that saying that these are all vegan products? Yes.

Oreos, glyph, Doritos. Dude, it's marketing. Yeah. Okay, hold on a second. Stop at, glyph, Doritos. Dude, it's marketing. Okay, hold on a second. Stop at the top real quick, then. Wow. So here's what it says. The foods that you can eat that are vegan.

Now, they're very smart because what they're trying to do is they're trying to entice people. Yes. Pasta, spaghetti, bread, peanut butter, ketchup, mustard, hot sauces, rice, jelly, hummus, french fries, porridge, bagels, Oreos, you know, Doritos, Lays, bring them. They are what they're trying to do is they're looking at a trick. But can I just say right now that if you ate off that list right there, you would be fucked.

You're getting fat. Yeah, dude, you're getting fat. You're fucked. If you're eating off that list right there. You're gonna be hungry and you're getting fat. You're fucked. If you're eating off that list right there. You're gonna be hungry and you just keep going. Pino. If you're like, fuck, this vegan thing is legit. I'm about this right here.

I can't Eminem. I'm gonna make myself an Eminem Cheeto Oreo sandwich today. This is fucking rad. We're all about this diet. Look at this with the marketing eyes though. Of course. Brilliant, because you know they went to Oreo and whatever. Like, hey, we want to list your food. Meet people on vegan food. Cheedy diets are at. Oh, so smart. Of course. Brilliant, because you know they went to Oreo and whatever, like, hey, we want to list your food,
