If you want to pump your body and expand your mind, there's only one place to go. Mite, op, mite, op with your hosts. Salda Stefano, Adam Schaefer, and Justin Andrews. In this special episode of Mind Pump for the first 48 minutes we do our introductory conversation, Adam starts off by doubling down on his NFL versus soccer. Did you really put that in the fucking nose? We only put it in two minutes. It's all right.

I support this. I can't even handle all the fucking hate mail I'm getting right now. You know, my half my DMs are shit talking and then the forum is just flooded. Everybody wants to take a shot. It's hilarious. It's fine. We also are all like you, soccer. You're any hooler, they're fake injuries. We also, we like you soccer. You're having a huge nerve. They're fake injuries.

We also mentioned Adam's CD Fire Sale. He likes using the show to sell his own personal stuff. It's DVD, my bad. To sell his personal stuff. We talk about the crazy housing prices in the Bay Area, the connection or the potential connection between sunglasses and skin cancer. That's right, looking cool, may not be good for you.

We talk about skinny dipped almonds. This is one of our new sponsors. Now these are... Super pumped. Delicious. It's like a dessert. Amazingly good. But they're actually relatively healthy.

We also have a code for you. If you go to skinnydipped.com and do the code Mind Pump, you'll get 20% off a bag of the almond. Try these, you will not regret it. I mentioned a new documentary I just watched on Amazon Prime called Fasting, it's really good. Justin reveals his new diet. Ooh, yeah, listen to this episode,

find out what kind of a diet Justin is doing. Is it an all cheese diet? We don't know. You're gonna say that, you asshole. Yeah, this contest is getting crazy. Adam trying to keep up. Heard his back. He deadlifted 135, pulled his back a little bit. So now he's got to cut a back. And my consider the behind am I the dark horse in this one? You consider the lead horse in this? I don't know. I'm not going to give you that motivation. The dark horse

motivation. That's a strong one. No, you're in the lead, bro. Yeah give you that motivation. The dark horse motivation, that's a strong one. No, you're in the lead, bro. Yeah, you're winning. And then Adam talked about using Organifies Tumoric and Hydosis to reduce the inflammation from his back pole. If you go to Organify.com forward slash Mind Pump and enter the code Mind Pump, you'll get a fat 20% off. Then we get to the questions.

The first question was, what should you do when you hit a plateau and simply cannot gain muscle or even strength anymore? We actually give out a secret tip, secret. You gotta listen to this episode to hear it. Next question was, we've had different doctors on the show, all very smart. One of them was Dr. Terry Walls

and she advocates eating six to eight servings of vegetables a day. We've also had Dr. Sean doctors on the show, all very smart. One of them was Dr. Terry Walls and she advocates eating six to eight servings of vegetables a day. We've also had Dr. Sean Baker on the show, also into the smork eye, who says, don't eat any vegetables at all, and just eat meat. When it comes to eating vegetables, how are we supposed to figure out what is right for our individual bodies?

The next question was, what are alternatives to infetomines to help the younger generation focus more? Exercise. Yeah, beatings, exercise. One of those things. Like beatings first, just kidding. And the final question was, what are some of our top items that we have

on our bucket lists? Only one of us has interesting answers, the other two. The kind of boring bucket lists for the birds. Somebody obviously wanted to answer this question. You should have given us a heads up. I enjoy life right now. I do. I do want to mention that this month, this has got to be our most successful promotion ever by far. It's killing it. Maps, Annabolic, half off all month long. So we took the price cut it in half. It's under $60.

Maps and a ball, it's the program that started it all. It's excellent for muscle building. It's excellent for strength and it's fantastic.

Full on beard and like, said great. I had my friend does. I had a full on bush, I think by the time I was 13.

But anyway, so. Did you really? Yeah, I did. I was the first one among all my, you really have an age, actually. You prove it, huh? Oh yeah, all the time. Yeah, and you're like,

point, yeah, I was like here, check it out. So anyway, I got, I got, you just brought back some fuck. I never prove it Yeah, you remember remember kids plucking their pubes Yes, yeah, that's that's so disgusting. Yeah, we just went way down the way that's too far I do remember that's what you do. It's a thing. Yeah, it really happens because it's cool Yeah, cuz you're cool. Well, I remember when you're older boys. You better do that with your adult. That's so crazy bro Open your hand for a second.

What are you putting in my hand? Pugh. Oh wow, you're gonna go to force that. Just wanna show you that I have some. Yeah. Why is that like a universal proof? I mean, we grew up across the way far away from each other. It's a right of passage.

It's like, is it? It's a right of, you know what it is? There's a right of passage is that culturally have happened and all kinds of cultures. And for guys, we really don't have one anymore. We don't go hunting, we don't do whatever. Girls get their period, what do guys get?

You know what I'm saying? We get pubes. Yeah, we get a boner and pubes, basically. This is what happens. So anyway, so anyways, this is birthday. I got him a new computer because he loves gaming and shit like that. And you know, you were talking about the Lego convention.

So I was, you know, I was talking about it and he's really into it and his friends are all into it and that's what kids are into nowadays, right? And I was asking like, so who's the best among you and your friends? And he's like, well, me and this other kid were the best ones. So I'm like, are you just saying that to sound cool

or you're, he's like, no, I'm actually the, I'm really a bad ass dad. So I'm like, all right, that's cool. I said, you know, I heard that. I'm the real deal. I'm like, I heard kids make, can make a lot of money, gaming like there's leagues in shit and my son goes, oh yeah.

He goes, oh, he goes, you have no idea. So he shows me this kid, who made $8 million last year in these tournaments and shit getting sponsored by these computer companies and headphone companies and video game companies, $ $8 million, dude. That's the athlete of today. That's the athlete of today. I mean, if you really get into like the professional gaming

league and you look up like some of the top performers in there, they make so much fucking money. They make more money than like a lot of the soccer players and you know, the top players in the world. They brought up soccer again. I did, look at you running. You got a front door. Oh my god dude.

You look at some, bro. You got, you got, Adam, you got real. Oh I did. I did. I offended. So I did. It was all fun, you know. Well, let me ask you again,

that's a part of it. Are you going to go back on your statement if saying that the NFL is going to surpass soccer one day? I actually still, I still stand by that. I do. I do. I do. I do. I wouldn't have said. I wouldn't I wouldn't have

said if I didn't believe it. Like I and I know people think because of the if that ever happens, let me take let me see what would be like the God of because that's such a well here's here's odds are so here's where people here's what where people aren't thinking. Okay. I and I've said this on the show before this is my role. Yes. Yes. This is why you're so silly right here. If you really think that the the NFL as an organization is why you're all dumb. Yes, this is why you guys are silly right here. If you really think that the NFL as an organization is gonna go away because of everything that's happening, it's not gonna just disappear, it'll pivot.

And what I told you, what I think is gonna be the future of how we watch sports is we're gonna have these AIs that are gonna look like humans, that are gonna be replicated just like probably the real humans that play this sport. And they'll fucking kill each other. They'll blow each will hit each other so hard they'll blow up and we'll see all this. And it'll be something that I don't think it'll be football. I think if that happens, it'll still be the NFL. It'll be like it'll be football with guns or whatever. Whatever. You know, maybe it's a blend of, you know,

like what your son's doing with the NFL or whatever, but my point is that I think it's becoming bigger and bigger and bigger, where speaking of which, I saw videos the other day of, dude, Russia has the craziest MMA type shit I've ever seen in my life. Really? No rules. No, they had one where guys were wearing armor

and they were fighting with the shit and like like battling? Swart of God. No, Swart of God. Well, I mean stick fighting. I want to remember. Remember or take that's what tape started with. Oh, like a screamer.

Yeah, what was it? What's it called? A screamer. Oh, I didn't even know the name. Cause I've seen 15 actual MMA fights like in like a field where those are in Russia too. Yeah, we're like people just like, it was no holds bar, but they didn't have weapons,

but they all fought like MMA style without any boundaries. Rushing's are crazy. Rushing's are crazy. I saw the one where they had weapons. They literally had weapons. They were blasting to the, crazy. And then I saw one where it was a group. Damn.

It was a group of, it was two groups of like five. So it's like five against five, no holds barred fight. And you know what ends up happening with that? Like first it's one on one, but as soon as one guy knocks the other guy out, it starts to become like, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, you know what I mean?

We're gonna jump this other guy. And so the fight quickly, quickly devolves into like two guys fighting for guys. Oh my gosh, crazy. You got a royal rumble of MMA. Dude, they're insane. It's absolutely insane. Anyway.

I want to see that. So I watched the dumbest movie of all time. Also this weekend. Really? Yeah, the first purge. Oh. That's in theater right now. Stupid.

Oh, I thought it looked kind of cool. Dumb. Dumb. Oh my god, it's dumb. Really? Oh, I walked out. It wasn't scary at all or any of that. God, I'm so stupid.

It's like, or did you, did it have like political other tones that you didn't like? That's what it's all about. Well, all of them, you say stupid, I feel like. No, stupid is in it, it wasn't made well. It was like, it was violence for the sake of violence. It was just excessively,

you know, when you watch a scary movie that's trying too hard, it was like that, it was just, it was dumb. And then did you guys watch the first, the first purge? Yeah, I'm sorry. No. it was okay. No, I didn't watch any of those series. I liked what was it? What was the other one with the creepy guy that that drove around on the the cycle? Saw saw. Yeah, did you like that? The first couple one all 13 of those. And then it just kept going and you're like,

I get it. I know I saw that I saw that first one scared to shit out of me on the way and go back. Did it relate the first couple or Christ was in the theater And then it just kept going and you're like, I get it. I know it's all that first one. I saw that first one scared to shit out of me on that. I didn't go back. Did it relate the first couple or crisis? I was in the theater opening. You were an adult. I wasn't even that long ago. Of course I did.

So fucking still scared. You're really scared, huh? Of course I do. I mean, times I gotta admit that on the show. What are you doing to get scared? Fucking, I don't know. You can look at my fucking asshole puckers up. And it gives me anxiety in my heart rate.

And my heart races and I sweat. Yeah, it's like not fun watching movies. Did you watch a really scary movie when you were a kid or something that did that to you? No, I think it's because I didn't. So I have like cousins that were like exposed to it as little kids and watch. I never really watched scary movies as a kid growing up. And and then when I was introduced to it, I thought, well, this is stupid. This just gives me anxiety and makes me sweaty and like, that's either fun.

No, that's not fun at all. That's not a roller coaster to me. It's like, I'll go to a fucking theme park if I want to feel like that. Like, if I want to watch a movie, I want to relax. You know what I'm saying? I want to be entertained. I don't want to be jumping out of my seat. But anyways, I was at Soft for the opening weekend,

the first one. Your girlfriend must have convinced you at the time. You probably, because I'm sure I wasn't with a buddy of mine. Unless, maybe, you know what, maybe it was my buddy. My buddies love to make me watch scary movies like if it's there's three of us And if I'm the odd man out on a movie like I'm not that much of a plus that I won't go watching You know I'm saying okay, well if I'm out numbered here We'll go which is probably what happened but we were in the theater for saw and it was

Sold out everybody was in there and it was opening we can so you don't know any of the parts that are coming You know because after a scary movie comes through like people you know tend to ruin it for you Oh watch the one part, you know like the Blair Witch project. Yeah, right people ruin that for me Just about as I was gonna go watch it So the part where the maybe I think one of the scariest moments in scary movie history At least for me because I I haven't watched a lot, so you can argue this if you've watched a ton. But the part where he's walking around the apartment,

it's pitch black and he's using the camera. Oh yeah, that's brilliant. Oh my God. So the whole theater every... Pfff. Every single time the camera flashes. And then when it flashes and you see the clown face, like the whole fucking theater scream like on On-Port,

right with everybody just screaming. Do you get nightmares? No, I don't get nightmares. Okay, just you just don't like the anxiety while you're watching. I mean, I love to, I'm a huge movie buff and you won't see my, by the way, I'm selling that. So I just found a new app.

Guessing what? I'm selling all my stuff, right? So we're moving soon, so I'm selling everything. And my DVD collection, I have like between... Do people buy those? No, I was either. Well, I mean, I'm like practically giving them away. I mean, these things, I have,

well, like, one blockbuster like in the Christmas season. You're doing one blockbuster like in the Christmas season. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I really sell my shit real quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had WWE, WWE, yeah. Forward slash my butt. Sell all my shit, spire sale. I thought, are you guys familiar yeah. Forward slash my butt. So no, my shit.

Fire sale. Are you guys familiar with this app right here? I'm sure Enzo is. It's called Let Go. You guys heard of this before? I've seen a commercial. It's like, it's like, it's kind of like Craigslist, but virtually, right?

So we're doing like 50 cents each or something like that? Dollar each? Yeah, I would like a dollar each. You know what, what I'm trying to do is sell the whole collection for five hundred bucks And there's well over five hundred in there. I won't I stop counting at five hundred right so there's a bunch more and there's like I've got PlayStation X box. I've got games games and movies that don't even open probably 50 stuff things that are In there on accident. There's porn in there. There's everything in there. It said yeah

It's a plethora of Entertainment in there so if Anybody's looking for some DVDs, sell them the TVs, everything's going, bro. What are you doing, the whole thing? Everything, the whole thing. I took a, I took a train of the only thing she's allowed to bring is the box spring.

That's it. Everything else has got to go. Everything we're starting to see. I like doing it like that too. Yeah, just a lean break. Well, you know, when I moved, when I sold my house and moved in with her, she had already had like all of her shit.

And then I brought in all my stuff. So we have like a storage in the back, our garage is full, we've got a spare room full of shit. We just make smash. So much shit, yeah. And I'm like, I don't want any of it. Have you decided to buy or to rent first? Rent, right?

Are you gonna keep the quad? So, I know, I'm selling the quad, selling the Camaro. I sold the Toyota. I sold the Camaro Camaro. I sell it at, well the Camaro's only nine. Ouch, do not sell the Camaro. If someone Well, the Camaro's only out. Do not sell the Camaro. If someone gives me the right price. You made money on that.

Yeah, so if I maybe, if I sell it, I made money. You mean it goes, they go up on average 8%. That's on the side. Yeah, every time one of those things come up, fall off the road, those things go up. It's a sick ass car too. You never drive it though. I know, that's the reason why.

And we're gonna do this little, you know, for six months because I still, to buy over here in San Jose, the house that this little, you know, for six months because I still, to buy over here in San Jose, the house that I want, you know, you need a bajillion dollars. So they made up a new name for the number you need. It's a bajillion dollars, right? So I'm gonna, we're gonna lease for us, we're looking for a six month lease to kind of hold us over

until I got a couple more bucks to go buy. See, the problem with buying in the Bay Area, obviously, always you can speculate, is the value of the property going to go up or is it not going to go up? Bay Area is just so expensive and so many people are coming here to work, especially in Silicon Valley. But the problem is when you buy a house here, a decent house is gonna cost you over a million dollars. And I mean, when I say decent, I mean like,

a normal, small family home. I'm not talking about like a regular home, a regular suburban home will cost you over a million dollars. So if you want something that's a little nicer, you're gonna spend about 1.3, 1.4. That ties up so much of your money because you put a down payment on that. What is that?

$300,400,000? You've got so much money tied up and it's not liquid unless you sell it. If the market goes down, you're fucked. The other option, if you want to be smart with you, except I've talked to a lot of family members that are investors and they're telling me like, it's not smart what they're saying is,

rather than tying up all your money in the property. Buy a two or three investment property. Yeah, buy a few investment properties or by two and then put some, so the market is. Which leads to the discuss this, but we're Katrina and I are out with settling down and starting to say.

And then there's why I know we're gonna say. So my theory and the reason why we're not jumping into a place right now, so I could jump into a place right now, but the problem is the place that I would jump in right now is around the range that you're talking about right now, which is that one to 1.2. What I want is more like 1.5, 1.8.

The reason why, for me, the way I look at it when I talk at Trina is that whatever we buy, I want to make sure it's a house that we feel okay if we were in it for the next 10 to 15 years. That's why I'm in this limbo. I can just go get a house to get into a house, but I don't want to buy a house that I don't want to be in three years later And if the market does dip in three to five years, then I'm fucked right whereas if I get something that I Really like and I would be okay if we were stuck there for 10 or 15 years Which we know over the course of 20 years real states always an incredible investment

I mean the it may unless there's some disrupting technology, like 3D printed homes, it just destroys the... You never know? No, you know? No, even then, but here's a thing with that, right? It's still in these spaces. Yeah, you need, you still need, what's so expensive in the Bay Area is not so much the homes.

The homes aren't, it's the land. I mean, you're paying, there's low supply. Yeah, I mean, excuse me, yeah, there's low supply and high demand. Yeah, you buy a house in the Bay Area for 1.5, 1.8, 1.2 of that is the fucking property. So the house is only really worth $300,000. Dude, there was a two or $3 million house

in Palo Alto's 800 square feet. They just bought it to tear it down. And that's how much they spent on it. Yeah, so you're really playing for the land over here in the location we're at. So I'm in the middle of that right now. So I'll probably end up, and all of it's up in the air. It's like there is a possibility we may buy something

really quick. I'm even looking into this area right here because Google's coming in, all the property that's gonna get built, or that is built, or that is here. Probably gonna go up. Yeah, I can't imagine Google dropping in here. And you can see it. If you drive down San Carlos, you can just see all these.

The thing about California too, that's crazy. Is that, you know, there's more people leaving than coming in though. That's the other thing. There's more, right? There's like an Exodus they're talking about. And in the biggest city, San Francisco just lost, there's this convention that goes there every year.

And I can't remember the name of, I don't know if maybe Doug can find it. Maybe look up Doug convention, leave San Francisco, I can't remember the name of, I don't know if maybe Doug can find it. Maybe look up Doug convention, leave San Francisco, I don't remember the name of it. But it's a big convention goes every year, this is the first time they said we're not coming because of all of the safety concerns because of the crime, the homelessness

and how expensive it is. Oh wow. So I don't know, man, it's weird for me because I feel like it's either gonna keep getting more expensive or what we may see is this like, what happened to don't know, man, it's weird for me because I feel like it's either gonna keep getting more expensive or what we may see is this, like, what happened to, you know, because there's areas like Detroit, you know, Detroit used to be one of the best places

to live in America when the auto industry was exploding. But then the auto industry failed to be able to compete with, you know, Japanese cars and other cars, and a lot of that had to do with all the regulations and all that kind of stuff. And now Detroit is just, it's, you know, they have like a quarter of the population they used to and it's not a place, it's not a place you want to live. So I don't know, man.

Well, I mean, I would 100% if I was like a guy who wasn't trying to start a family and settle down like that, I would for sure investment properties. It's not even, it's a no-brainer to me because like you said, I mean, when you're talking about 1.5, 1.8 million, you can buy some nice houses for 300 grand in other places. So you could have three fucking homes, you know what I'm saying? You could buy right away pretty much, I mean, you couldn't ride away,

but you would one after another be able to probably pick up a couple of problems. That was so enlightening how, like, it's not expensive to actually build the house. That's not the expensive part. No, it's the property. It's the property. Yeah, and that's why I think even 3D printing

won't destroy the housing market in an area like this. The area will continue to be desirable. There's still a ton of money. You know what I wonder might change. So it was a medical convention that canceled. So you know what I would I think might change house prices because I've been thinking about this a lot like, okay, what could, because in the reason why I was thinking about this a lot, like, okay, what could, because, and the reason why I was thinking about this, I actually posted an article in the forum

about the cost of the taxing medallions in New York. I don't know if you can see that. I did, so a taxing medallion, you have to have one and it allows you to be able to, if value of it's dropped down to one of the three. It used to be worth over a million dollars. Yeah, that's a good one. Now it's 100, something they don't even know

because people haven't sold them in like a few years. And it's because Uber came in and completely, because they consider buying one of the what do you buy in the book? Why what are you buying when you get the medallion? Yeah, I mean, I'm no I know I get what you're getting with the medallion But I was like if you're somebody who would even consider buying one right now nobody's in a buy one. Yeah Why nobody makes no sense? That's what I'm saying that the values probably zero to be honest with you Yeah, and it's because it was an artificially inflated market and because of, you know, it was a monopoly, they only limited so many.

And now here comes a disrupting technology that just destroyed that market because that market was propped up by, you know, other circumstances. Well, so archaic, remember when we were taking a taxi in LA compared to Uber, so they gave us shit for not having cash.

They destroyed themselves. Who are you? So, so when I think of the housing, the cost of houses, and I think, what could disrupt that industry, right? And I thought, okay, 3D printing, but then you're right about property, like the actual size of the land, a lot of stuff. You know what I think might actually affect it quite a bit?

Self-driving cars. Because when self-driving cars become the norm, you have to imagine for sure traffic is going to become almost nonexistent because most traffic is not the result of too many cars. It's the result of human error. And when cars can synchronize and move together, you can fit way more cars on the same road and find that there's no traffic whatsoever.

And the fact that people will be able to work in their cars on the way to work, it'll make it much less of a stress. I feel like that may change the prices because people will just, you know, let's say the jobs are in San Jose, someone's gonna be like, well cool, I'll just work two hours away. Yeah, but what you're talking about right now is something that's gonna take us 30 years, you know, saying, but for that to complete. You think so? Oh, yeah. I mean, I agree with you, but by the time, by the time San Jose's freeways are converted to self-driving cars and all those things like that, I mean, we're talking minimum 20 years. I mean, just to just to build that out, what that would take.

You have to go through government, you know, because of the road. Yeah, exactly. So that's what's going to be the hold up for sure, because all the regulations and shit. I feel like they may be, they may be something that, because on the one hand, they may not want to do it because there's all these lobbies, the special interests, but on the other hand, cities may want to do this because they may find that they're not able to get people to live there and to, you know, because of the cost.

I think they will. I think they may actually make a lay. I think they can ride it that that's the future. I do. I would not disagree with that. But I really don't think that's gonna, I don't think that's gonna affect the housing as much as we think it is.

I think it's gonna continue to rise for a couple more years and then it'll plateau maybe dip again. And so as long as you can ride it out for 10 to 15 years, now if you were looking, like if I was looking to buy, this is what I don't, I don't wanna starter home right now, I already had my starter home.

Yeah, here's what I'm saying. So I don't wanna. I'm with you. Yeah, I don't wanna starter home that I was planning on trying to the thing. So I don't want to, I'm with you. Yeah, I don't want to starter home that I was planning on trying to flip and sell in three to five years to upgrade to a bigger one. You're gonna live where you're gonna live for a while. Yeah, and that's what's taking so long

for me to pull the trigger on all of this. I'm with you. I'm with you. That's why I'm not gonna buy something that I'm gonna live in. If I'm gonna buy anything, it'll be investments. And I'm gonna wait, like, because I feel like in two, three years I'll be able to get more, more, what I want.

I mean, and remember, I owned a nice house, not that long ago, you know, not my name. I'm just gonna demo my house and start over. Did you, did you, did you love my property? Did you give her all of that? I don't remember if you told me that or not. No, we, she, I mean, she has the house,

but she had to pay me out, but obviously I got the shortage in the sick on that because of the, you know, the value of the homes goes up quite a bit. Right. And I'm not, especially right now, you're home is the homes goes up quite a bit, and I'm not especially right now. Well, your home's probably well over a million now. It's probably 1.1.1. Here's the thing with that, it's when you're in a situation where you have children and you want the best for your kids.

Right, to no brain. Here's a deal. The worst is tough to go through to begin with. They're already going to move because now they're going to live with me half the time, so that's already a big move. I'm not going to also force them to move out of the house that they were born in and grew up in because of this whole thing. So, you know, I want to make sure we work together as well as possible for the benefit of the children. And if that means that she on some ends gets, you know, a better deal, that's fine. On other ends, I get a better deal too. I mean, she's extremely flexible when we travel a lot and stuff like that. And she does a lot of the planning when it comes to part.

So I'm not like bitter. I know I joke around about it, but I'm not bitter. Yeah. It is what it is anyway. So I read some really cool articles this weekend that I want to share on the show. Here's a fascinating one. So there's a theory, this one really blew me away.

There's this theory that's circulating that wearing sunglasses may actually increase your risk for skin cancer. Hmm? wearing sunglasses. Yes. So, when the UV rays hit your eyes, there is a compound that's released by the brain and I can't remember what it's called. I'll look it up.

That prepares your skin to deal with the potential damaging effects of UV rays. But when you wear sunglasses, your brain thinks it's dark. It's giving you a mixed signal. So your skin is less prepared to deal with the potential damage of the sun. How do we finally put this together? Well, this is a theory. It's not proven yet, but it... Okay. You know what? I would bet my money that there's probably something to that, right?

Because we know what happens. Well, it makes sense. We know what happens with your ability to sleep just because you've been exposed to it. It's like a sensor. I mean your eyes will gauge, you know, what kind of intensity is out there. So that does make logical sense. It's very straight. Okay, it's a Melano sites. The blind people got to be fucked in, right? How's that worked in? You know what's funny about that? Blind people have, I can't remember the name of the... What's it called? It's like inside your nose and your ears,

like I remember Ben Greenfield talking to you. Oh, there's light sensors in your nose and ears. But with blind people, they have this, a lot of them suffer this condition where they, it's hard for them to fall asleep and wake up at consistent times, because their brain isn't perceiving, you know, that it's daytime or night time. But no, I think that's a fascinating theory, fall asleep and wake up at consistent times because their brain isn't perceiving, you know, that it's daytime or nighttime.

But no, I think that's a fascinating theory and I would bet money that there may be some truth to that because, you know, for sure, do you think your brain knowing it's daytime is gonna cause reactions in the body to prepare it for the fact that it's daytime? Or when it's dark, prepare your, because we know this,

if you don't have light coming through your eyes, it's like let's say you wear blue blockers, right? Your brain prepares itself to release melatonin and it gets you to go to sleep. We know that for a fact. So wouldn't the opposite also? I got something you better prepare for. Inzo.

I better prepare for. No, Inzo better prepare for him, getting his ass whipped for eating all of our new sponsor. Dude, those things are so good. I can't blame you. I'm not. No, Inzo better prepare for him getting his ass whipped for eating all of our new sponsors. Dude, those things are so good. I can't blame you. I'm blaring you, Inzo. I was so excited. This is probably one of my favorite new sponsors that we just got.

And I was so excited. They shipped over a box. A ton of them. Yeah, yeah. Skinny, skinny dips. I go to look inside and this little motherfucker has eaten like almost all the almonds over there. I know. you know what's funny? And he went and had to go buy a bunch of them to replace them.

So a lot of companies will send us stuff thinking that we're going to try it like it. And 99.9% of the time, we don't like it. We're just like whatever. But it has to blow our mind. But we're willing to try it. We'll try it. If it blows our mind, then we'll talk about it and maybe we'll work with you. Well, these were so good. Yeah.

And they're not bad for you. No, no. Yeah, I mean, it's low on the sugar. I mean, there's some sugar in it, but it's like, Oh my God. But it's chocolate, and it's, oh my God, they're just, they're just, the beauty of the one.

It's a nice little snack. No, it's so, it's smart, it's simple what they did. I mean, all they really did was, instead of, because anyone's had like chocolate covered almonds, not like revolutionary, like it's not like the first time. There's just not a instead of, because anyone's had chocolate covered almonds, it's not like revolutionary, it's not like the first time. There's just not a lot of chocolate. It's just enough.

It's just a very thin coat, so you kind of get that. So it gives you this kind of switch, which for someone like me, who has been addicted to sugar his entire life, and it took forever for me to kind of wing myself. And when I have these moments, they're like, oh, that sounds really good. For example, we were at the movies last night,

and again, with association, like my brain says, like, oh, my can really good. For example, we were at the movies last night, and again, with association, like my brain says, like, oh, Mike and I sound so good right now. But I know, like that would just give me fuck my stomach up later on, and I know regret it. So you didn't have them? No, so I had this skinny dips and so. Perfect. So Katrina brought it with her purse

and they're smuggled it into the theater, still feels like you're smuggling whenever you go to the movies with them. Dude, they don't check that anymore. They don't, like I've, I've, I've wanted that conclusion too. They don't give a shit I've gone in with sandwiches. Yeah Yeah, I came in with a big old soda now part of that might be because we're older big men too

That's what I think and yeah, yeah, cuz this is gonna say I remember as a kid I used to get caught up all the time with that shit But that's gonna use some skinny little kid walk through and then somebody else Excuse me, sir. Yeah, especially the way I walk when I have this when I have a thing I'm not supposed to have I walk right but Tell me I can't have my sandwich I Actually have to do for myself, but they are really really good and they are relatively low sugar for something like that

So they did a pretty good no, I have to say it's one of my favorite sponsors that we we've picked up Which one did you have the peanut butter one? I've had them all now, man. No, which one did you bring? Oh, so no, I have the coffee one. I like the coffee one. Super good. Yes, it's good. Have I tried that?

I haven't tried that yet. Every once fully, we didn't give you any on purpose. Yes, yes. No, now that the contest started, you can have them all you want. I've had them all. I've had them all, my least favorite, although they're still good are the raspberry one, because I thought that's kind of a that's different.

And the secret is to put them in the refrigerator, if you guys haven't figured out already, put them in the refrigerator, they're really, really good cold. But I like them all. I mean, the peanut butter one and the coffee ones, I mean, they're like, and they did what they did,

really was really smart that I like about it. And I was telling you guys this before we got on air, is even if you went crazy, right? And you ate the whole thing. They packaged them into, I think I wanna say, it's about 500 or 600 calories. So it's not like eating a whole bag of chips or a whole pint ice cream or a whole box of candy

that most people could do. Even if you go in on them, at least the damage that you're doing from it is. It's not bad, reasonable. Yeah, yeah. For me, 500, 600 calories is not like the end of the world. I do think you're right, though. I think that the kids are supposed to stop us, but they're scared. That's what that's. So you have you guys ever had a front desk person

at when your gyms work there and not say something to someone because they're intimidated and haven't walked by it. You ever seen that? Yeah, yeah. Of course. Oh, I did that. I saw that once where my friend desk. There was this dude just like, excuse me, sir, and you just kept walking and then he let him because the guy looked kind of intimidating and that of course I went and confronted him and everything that was a big old deal about it. But it is, you can, a lot of times just walk in. Oh yeah.

And people say shit. No you're right. I know where I'm going. If you act like you own the place, it's when you walk in and you look all lost or confused, you're not sure or guilty. Where did we try doing that? We got stopped.

We almost made it. Oh it was at the wine and the cute festival. It It was the wine. Yeah, across from paleo effects What do we do this? Oh, they tried so hard to get in. Oh my god. I don't try I'm getting the security guy dude. You really did a good job. You tried so hard. I didn't you guys feel calm I thought you were gonna get it for sure. Yeah, we were close Yeah, and we convinced at least those are like two people. $200 tickets a piece that we almost walked through. That was it.

Who stopped us? There's this old salty dog. That's just like, damn. Yeah, those are the people we hate for it. Yeah, if you ever see an old man working at the movies, for sure, he'll stop your ass. Yeah, he's like, he's shooting his mom out of my walk. He was hired just to ruin kids days.

That's what he was hired for. We need a guy who's willing to ruin kids days right here. This guy's perfect for that. Dude, you guys gotta watch. Not a pushover. I found another fasting documentary on Amazon Prime. It's literally called fasting.

Really fucking good. Dr. Walter Longo's on there. There's a couple of things I don't like about it that they kind of highlighted people's weight loss through fasting, which, you know, Jessica and I were watching it. We're both cringing like, oh, don't like about it, that they kind of highlighted people's weight loss through fasting, which, you know, Jessica and I were watching it, and we're both cringing like, oh, don't set this message out because you're just gonna get a bunch of people,

you know, anorexic or whatever. But they were going over some of the science. One of the scientists on there brought something up and I did some more of my research and I found that it seems to be true. Some of this seems to be true. So you know how when you die it, when people cut their calories and they do it

for a long enough period of time, they get metabolic adaptations and metabolism slow down, right? We talk about this all the time on the show. Fasting does that to a far lesser degree. So instead of just going low calories all the time, with people intermittently fast, and then that ends up resulting in less calories. The metabolic adaptations, the slow metabolic, the slower metabolism that you may get from that,

is much lower with the fasting. And they theorize it's because when you have no food, your body wants to burn. When you're eating food, it wants to store. When you're eating too little, it kind of mixes those signals up a little bit. So it's better to eat in a time restricted fashion. Like a career signal. This is the priority right now. That's the theory, but I thought that was really fascinating because I would think that it would cause the same kind of... And I would assume if you did a lot of fasting, that would end up happening, right? If you over did it, but pretty interesting. That is really interesting because it makes me think about like prepping for a show

and if it would be a smarter strategy than in stuff. I'd have like high calorie days. And then like, no food. Yeah, literally like we're not gonna eat this day like a day off of, I would, I see it, that's where I'm conflicting. I can even like 500 calories more, like what would a high day look like?

Well, you just average it out, right? So you would look at the whole, so let's say you had a female athlete or whatever eating 2000 calories a day, and that was their contest prep, let's just say, right? So you would look at the whole, so let's say you had a female athlete or whatever eating 2,000 calories a day, and that was their contest prep. Let's just say, right? So that's 14,000 calories for the whole week. I wonder if instead of, and let's say, let's just imagine that that puts her at a 750 calorie deficit every day. Rather than doing 2,000 calories a day, maybe take those 14,000 calories and do it over six days and then make one day no food. Right. I see. Right. So that, and you take those 2,000 calories and do it over six days and then make one day no food. Right.

I see. So that you take those 2,000 calories and add it to the other days or something like that, right? It'd be interesting to see if they're like that. I'd love to see a study like that comparing to groups like going, yeah, going, the only thing that bothers me about even talking about this on our show is, yeah, what I adopted for fat loss. And here's the thing that scientists

don't understand because I hear these guys talking on this on this in this documentary and in Jessica and I are just cringing at some of the stuff they're saying that because what they're saying is wrong but because how people receive it I've trained so many people we know why I already feel like it even on since our show has been going now for three and a half years or whatever and we came out at the very beginning talking about all the pros of fasting. Now I feel like I want to reverse my stance and tell everybody it's turning into a fad just like we thought it would. And everybody I hear people all the time like I hear people with the hair salon that

be cutting hair and I hear girls to you know to salons over. I just fast for 40 now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, what are you doing for your diet right now? Like, oh, I'm doing intermittent fasting right now. Like, that's like everyone. Well, because it becomes the thing.

It's the only thing. You know, and they overdo it. And for back when we started, like nobody was doing it. So that's why we brought it up so much. And we try to promote the benefits of it. The problem is just got away. The problem is, is that starving yourself has been rebranded now as fasting.

That's what it is literally. Because when I first became a trainer, people who just didn't eat to lose weight, we used to say, oh, you're starving yourself and, or, that's a potential eating disorder or bad relationship to food. Now, because we call it intermittent fasting because we see all the health benefits of doing it,

people think like, oh, this is cool, this is just what I'm gonna do, it's more socially acceptable. Whereas, you know, 10 years ago, wasn't socially acceptable for you to say, if someone came up to you and said, hey, how are you losing weight? Oh, I just, I don gonna do, it's more socially acceptable. Whereas, you know, 10 years ago, wasn't socially acceptable for you to say, if someone came up to you and said, hey, how are you losing weight? Oh, I just, I don't eat on Tuesdays.

People are like, oh my God, that's terrible. It's socially acceptable now to say, oh, for weight loss, I fast, you know, I just don't eat. I still think that's a terrible approach. I think it's a terrible approach to use it. For weight loss, I think it's a terrible approach to use any diet like that for weight loss, instead of just eating in a way that's good for your body and the weight loss, I think it's a terrible approach to use any diet like that for weight loss instead of just eating

In a way that's good for your body and the weight loss habit. Now by terrible too I think you what you mean as the majority right? I think it's terrible for the majority although I think that it can actually be a great thing right there that there is yeah, they have a good right you got a Foundation you got to have a good relationship with food first like that's I feel like there's there's levels to doing something like this And I can get stuck there. I mean, it's just like, I FYM, like where we had a problem there. It's like people just get stuck into this one, like, you know, operating mode. And that's what they're gonna stay with for long term.

But it doesn't, it's not gonna benefit. You have to be flexible, weave in and out and you have to use these tools, you know, like, sparingly, like use them when it's appropriate. There's two, there's two major eating, I guess, dysfunctions that I see that come from people who abuse fasting. One of them is, I donate and then when I eat, I binge or eat a bunch of shitty food, right?

That's one where I see people try to correct, like, that they ate a bunch of crap by fasting and then they justify it. And so it's like, on or off, on or off. And it's extreme. That's one. Then the other one is the obvious one, which is people who just fast, just far too often, and then when they do eat, they still eat too little.

And so they just end up constantly in this crazy deficit, and those are the two problems. But aside from that, if you have a good relationship to food, it's fascinating to me, and it just makes so much sense when you think of it from an evolutionary standpoint, right? If you're not eating anything Your body is in birth and this is what the scientist said you're either burning or storing you're not doing both He's like you're either your body's either trying to store or it's trying to burn those are the two kind of operating systems

Just like when you're trying and obviously sometimes ones happening the ones happening many times. It's balanced So you end up you up kind of the same. But it makes perfect sense. And eating constantly all the time is kind of confusing that a little bit. And like he said, the research shows that ends up slowing down the metabolism. There was a mouse study that was just published.

And again, this is with mice, but many times this point scientist in a direction with humans are 24 hour fast and mice sped up their metabolism. And they think the reason why it sped it up is because it stimulated stem cells that end up turning into new cells post-fast. So, and I've experienced this, and I've told you guys this,

I've said this many times on the show, when I do my, cause I just did one this weekend, I did another, I did like 36 hour fast this weekend. When I do my 48 because I just did one this weekend, I did another, I did like 36 hour fast this weekend. When I do my 48 or 72 hour fast, I do notice that two to three days after the fast, when I start refeeding, I get like this muscle building, fat loss kind of like amped up effect, and what they said in the mice is that kind of happened,

and they think that it has to do with the fact that your old cells die off. And then when you refeed, you know, because you have all these stem cells that are stimulated, they turn into new cells, and that process happened and they think that has to do with the fact that your old cells die off. And then when you refeed, you know, because you have all these stem cells that are stimulated, they turn into new cells and that process itself, I guess, feeds up the metabolism. Yeah. How many months you go on now? You're, you're good six, seven, seven months of consistently doing that.

And I'm really learning how to use it when I need it. It's, it's been a very valuable tool for me and my, you me and my gut issues, which are for sure immune related, for sure. Here's another connection I made with my gut. If I'm starting to have a really bad immune reaction, if I take an anti-histamine, it actually helps a little bit, which tells me that there's for sure that type of an immune reaction that's happening for me.

What are you using for an anti-stake? Like Zertek, Zertek or whatever? Oh really? What other ones are there out there? Flerotons, Zertek, you know, Benadrill, which make you drowsy. Yeah, yeah. So I went on, I'll visit forums with people who,

because you can read people's experiences in a lot of these forums and the sciences and support it yet, but you can see a lot of anecdotes, right? Cause there's thousands of people on some of these forums. And sure enough, lots of people with irritable bowel syndrome type symptoms and stuff like that say that, they do get symptom relief with an anti-histamine like claritin or zirtec.

Now the reason why I put that together is I have another strange symptom that I never connected until recently, is every once in a while, I'll get like very small and random hives on my on my body very random and it's nothing crazy or nothing for me to worry about just nothing to do with the herpes or anything. No it's not it's not my herpes thanks Adam. Yeah. A couple times a year. It's in remission. But I don't have herpes. So anyway, I gotta make sure I put that out. Yeah, make sure I put that not on my genitals. But I'll get I put that out there. Yeah, I'm sure I put that out there.

Not on my genitals. But I'll get every once in a while, I'll get these hives. And then I started connecting that when that would happen, my gut would be off. Now, as this related, I remember we talked with Dr. Ruscio and he talked about certain foods that motivated histamine. And you started to eliminate that, but then you started reintroducing it.

Now, do you notice, like, as you've learned that about yourself and you've eaten those that, but then you started reintroducing it. Now, do you notice, like as you've learned that about yourself and you've eaten those foods that have histamine, how's that affected? I haven't connected that to the hives yet, but what I have connected is that it's just a systemic immune response. When my gut is off,

it's my immune system that's causing the problem because it's reacting to foods or whatever, right? And when my immune system's off, it's my immune system that's causing the problem because it's reacting to foods or whatever, right? And when my immune system's off, it's going to be, it's going to, it probably will display symptoms of, you know, autoimmune, which may be increased rates of asthma. It may be more skin issues like Adam will start to notice his psoriasis, it starts to flare up more. It may be itchy eyes, it may be running nose, it may be congestion, it may be sleep apnea.

By the way, sleep apnea is strongly connected to, well, I don't want to say strongly connected because it's still loose. But anecdotally speaking, and a lot of functional medicine doctors say snoring is sleep apnea might be less due to the fact that you're overweight because they always say, oh, you're overweight or you have to get your tonsils removed. No, more likely due to the fact that you're overweight because they always say, oh, you're overweight or you have to get your tonsils removed. No, more likely due to the fact that you have food intolerances. So people have those issues. They're finding go away when they treat

the food intolerance issues. Broke, be your cheese. Yeah, it might be. I'm going through this process for this competition. Oh, what did you, what have you guys started so far? I don't know if I want to, if you would not leave or we're not having each other know in trade secrets here or what. Yeah, I when are you actually doing that? It's fine

Yeah, no, I'm going all carnivore diet. Oh shit. So you're eliminating vegetables to all of it I'm so gonna. Did you start that already? Yeah, get fucked up when did you start that? I started like maybe three days ago Fuck off. Yeah, so just meet I won't fuck off off. So just meet, I won't fuck off. Yeah, fuck in. Yeah. Yeah. No, I just started eliminating all that and then up my butcher box. And this is a free plug for them. But I made sure that I got like as much meat as I could in the house and stocked up. And so I'm just trying to not because it's something that that caught my interest was and then you mentioned sleep apnea, I was listening to Jordan Peterson on Joe Rogan.

Oh, he did say that. And he said that it really helped him wake up in the morning. He felt like all this energy. And that was the thing that got me, not like Dr. Sean Baker, like I wasn't like, I mean, it was a great compelling case. He was promoting with it. But for me, I just was like, well, why don't I try something I've

fasted before? I've done that. Have I ever done just a, you know, meet specific diet for a couple weeks? No. So that's, I just fit, like I figured that it would be worth experimenting. So to see, sure, 30 days of gives a shit. Yeah, it's like, and maybe, maybe there are some vegetables that are promoting, you know, some intolerance that I like I need to address You know, but the like I'm gonna reintroduce it and and kind of work my way Now, they three. How are you feeling great? Yeah, how's your poops? You're full on fine. You're like you're full on already Like there's no you're not kind of doing it. It's funny one of the questions in the Talk is about is about carnivore. Oh. Yeah, so we'll get into it.

Okay, cool. Yeah, we're good because I want to get into it now, but we'll wait till we get to the question. Yeah, that's crazy. I don't know. Look at this guy's going to be all undercover and not say anything. Well, of course, he's singing now. Yeah, yeah.

So I don't know, man, I just was like, this is something I want to do because it's more health driven. I know we're all trying to promote our physics and shit. I give a shit about that. Like I just want to get healthy She's gonna beat us, bro. I would say that if I was the fat guy too All you're doing I just realized something Adam all you're doing is you're making him super motivated No, you feel everybody say shit. Yeah, definitely fuels me

I'm excited I'm so you're doing a good job. I'm so good. You're doing a good job. I don't listen to anybody. You don't need to go to the heart. I'm 100% for myself. You look so good. You look so good already. I know, and you hurt your back.

Yeah, dude. Showing off. I'm an asshole. You're trying too hard, man. Well, I was warming up with some weight and then you went to try a deadlift and... This is why I don't work out with nobody, dude. You know the worst part about Taylor?

I don't know what he's talking about. He's like, I wasn't even looking at him. It doesn't matter. It's because you were around, you know what I'm saying? He was just saying, we were deadly, he was working out with me. Inzo and him have been lifting. We've been all lifting together whenever I can, right?

And Taylor got his workout in with me and it was a back day, right, we're dead lifting. And I just felt great, man. I was feeling strong and just weight going up. You saw my video, you saw my post. I'm sure it was a little bit of all that shit. You know what I'm saying? You got me dude, you fucking brain-engineed me a little bit there. You know what I'm saying?

Didn't even know I got you. Even tagged you guys off. I know. I did that so funny. Yeah, so you know I pulled the 405 up and it was just coming up like butter the first set. And I was like, man, this is the, I hadn't pulled 405 for reps. I think I pulled five or six reps, really clean, beltless, everything. And felt so great, ran it back the second, the next set.

And on the third, second or third rep, I heard this pop when I was about midway up and I just let go with a bar. And like instantly kind of felt my back sort to seize up and I thought, oh god, please no, walking around. And then I realized like, oh God, please no, walking around and then I realized like, oh shit, I'm done. So it's been, what am I on day three? It's a muscle pull though, you're looking. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm okay. Like I know that I've been here before where I've,

you know, again, this is a jam. You just been old. We talk about it all the time. Like we preach all this shit all day long, and if there's any, and this is, again, another reason why I like to train by myself. When I can train by myself, it's easier for me to take ego out. It's easier for me to be smart.

It is. It's easier for me to be smart. I don't even have this temptation. If I'm by myself, there's no one to show off for. You know what I'm saying? And I know my own limits. It's like, I would be happy that I was pulling the 405, but I wouldn't go back to trying that.

I could totally see that, because I work out with Jessica and she keeps me straight, right? She's very smart with the training. Both of us are pretty and it works out great, but I can see working out with younger guys That might core it's not my cause you in there making comments like damn dude you could pull that up Watch this I can do a lot more than Exactly I'm a lot more than that. Yes, exactly. You're like, you have no idea. I can actually do a lot more.

The two times. That's a trap. The two or three times we worked out together. It's like without even, without us realizing it starts to turn into that kind of shit. Oh, it ramps up quickly. Yeah. Super fat.

There was that one time we were dead lifting at Justin's old gym. So I want to know, I want to, I should ask you this because I ramped up. Can I overdose on turmeric? I mean, I've been, I've been eating, I've been chewing the fucking organic turmeric pills like candy right now. Can I hold you? Can I hold you on turmeric? Not tag. I mean, of course you can overdose on anything. I mean, I'm doing it. I'm hard to do. It's a day. No, you're fine. Okay. That's what I do. Okay. I do eight pills. Is

there like a too much or what? Can it be if it upsets your stomach? Sure. Okay. If you start to smell like I was already doing it four and four. I thought about kicking throwing in the middle there too. But if you're doing fish oil, I am doing our fish oil too. I would go eight, eight capsules of fish oil also. Damn, with the eight of 16. Take them together because the fat helps the turmeric get absorbed.

You trust in them during competition mode? Oh yeah, you try to fuck with me right now. No, listen, that's something about me. That's something about me. I'm straight up when I'm fucking with you. If I I'll post a video and tag you and that's and you know like he's fuck. I'm not sneaky. I won't lie Yeah, I don't want to win. Listen. I don't want to win because I lied or because I tricked you I want to win because you tried your hardest. I tried my hardest and I won I agree that's when it matters

I feel it. Yeah, I don't want to like I don't want to free it. It doesn't feel like a win if you fucking you know some sneaky shit. I like I hear you saying that. I still don't trust you. Yeah. Justin doesn't trust you and I. You think you're a conspired. I don't know. Well now that I know he's on myself. Now that I know he's on all meetings to fight that I'm going to be sliding carbs in all the years. I'm gonna make a stick for him. I'm gonna make a steak for him, I'm gonna make a steak for him, but I'm gonna put like grains of rice, like steak in the... Is that just injected? You know, it's like...

Just a little bit of starch, just a throwy-up. Yeah, sugary water. Yeah, no, no, not gonna do that. It's gonna be, from, you know what my goal is, my goal is to, we'll do this contest, that's gonna be fun. I really wanna pull 600 dude before I turn 40. Nice.

That's the next year. Do it. That's a big goal, man. I know. And I want to do it while not weighing too much over 200 pounds, maybe around two to five something like that. It's funny that that's yours and I was talking to you the other day. No, sorry, and that's 658.

I can I'll go for six. Let's say 600. Dude, six. I pulled 600 before, but I was a big fucking heavy fucker. Yeah. I don't want to do that. I want to do it while they're giving me. Dude.

We'll see dude. We'll see if my, you know see if my gut health seems good. That counts as a mask. You guys are fucked. Listen, if my gut health is good, you're done. Where's everybody right now? Tell me where you are right now. Where's everybody weighing right now?

I'm asking, no, where are you, where are you, where are you now? I'm around 200 probably. You're at two flat right now. Yeah, around 20. Just some where you at 20. You're at 220 right now. What do you have? 218.

You're at 218? Yeah, so we're all around each other right there. Yeah. Alright, let's see what happens. Yeah, let's bring it. It's on my donkey comb. Bring the bird. This quaz brought to you by Organify. For those days you fall short on getting your organic veggies or whole food nutrition,

You hit your genetic potential. Wouldn't it suck? That was the advice. Sorry. Yeah. You're not building any more muscle. You know, so the kind of people that tend to ask this question, because I think to myself, like, okay, the average person, when they plateau, they probably just need to eat a little better and maybe work out more.

But when people tend to ask this one about, I can't gain muscle or strength, I feel like he's probably doing too much, like he's pushing too hard doing too, this was me when I was a kid and I would plateau, my MO was, oh, that means I need to do more drop sets, more failure on my sets, I need to add more drop sets, more failure on my sets. I need to add more exercises. And I did that for a long time. And it took me a while to figure out that the answer was to do. So I think it tends to be, or for sure, me and the people that I train that would fall

into this category are the ones that tend to be following a similar type of a routine. Like that's not a change. They don't periodize their workouts. They stick to one kind of modality. They're constantly chasing, building muscle or strength, which can be very closely related. And so a lot of their programming looks very similar. At least for me, this was a lot of the challenges that I had.

I would hit these plateaus. And then, you know, when I looked at them, I had always think it was, you know, oh, I wasn't training hard enough or had something to do with my diet, which of course those areas are, you know, intensity and diet have a big role to play, but many times, you know,

I was just kind of stuck doing the same types of exercises or the same rep range, same rest period. And so there's a lot of variables that I think that you can manipulate and play with, or what I would do is I would manipulate one of them. Like, oh, I was tiny change. Yeah, a small change. And it's too close to what my body was already used to.

It needs to see something else to kind of shock the system. Yeah, because what I've done in the past with people like this is I'll have them do a radical change. Right. Okay, so you're doing, you know, 10 to 12 reps in your rest periods of 30 seconds and you're doing lots of sets. Well, we're going to use, we're going to cut your sets in half or do less exercises, more sets per exercise. You're doing low reps and you're resting longer in between sets. And what I would do in between that switch many times,

which is because here's a deal. If you're at this point where you're pushing your body so hard and it's plateaued, many times a week off and then a switch works better than just going straight to the switch. Sometimes they both work. But many times what I've done to people, especially in this particular situation that I'm explaining, is I'll say, okay, take a week off.

And then the next week, when you come back, you're gonna start a completely different type of work. That works really well when it's what you're saying. When it's somebody who has been hammering their body so much, they're training five to seven days a week minimum and they're in their lot of volume and their workouts. That's an incredible suggestion. If it's somebody who's not so crazy

and they've hit a hard plateau, my suggestion would be to go the office straight. So if you're somebody who's not so crazy and they've hit a hard plateau, my suggestion would be to go the office right. So if you're somebody who like, South saying low rest periods, 10 to 12 reps, then giving you these longer rest periods, lower reps. Now if you're somebody who's doing the lower reps, long rest periods, then actually going up to 15, 20 reps and super setting and doing that type of training

could, could, oh yeah, that's where I'm at right now. That's to be, I mean, what Sal was mentioning is probably more common in our space as far as like gym people, but like, yeah, for me, it was always like, I tend to love the low reps and rest kind of a phase versus, you know, the high reps and hypertrophy and the, you know, super setting and, you know, that high reps and hypertrophy and the, you know, supersetting and, you know, that type of training. So, so that's just an indication that I need to, I need to step into that and definitely like shock my system and get better.

I think you're, I think you're more on the, I think what Sal saying is less, is less common, but maybe in his experience, but in mine, that's what I see. I see it even ourselves. Like when I look at and evaluate all of us in this room, you know, if there, if there is a weakness in mine, that's what I see. I see it even ourselves. Like when I look at and evaluate all of us in this room, you know, if there is a weakness in our programming training, is that we all typically, even ourselves, tend to gravitate towards things that we'd love to do the most.

Of course. You know what I'm saying? How many times have you walked in the studio and seen Sal do in 15 to 20 reps and super setting it with an exercise? You know what I'm saying? Like you just, that's not a favorite of his. He's admitted that on the show plenty of times.

Like, I never before you guys, I'd never trained one to three rep, I never did that before. And so I think if it's most people tend to gravitate towards what they're good at and you've probably gotten really good at the way you're training right now, which is why you've seen a halt in your strength.

Yeah, the day I was, we were here kind of late. Oh no, I got in here in the morning. Justin was fucking sweating his ass off and he was doing maps aesthetic, right? Which is so different from how you normally, by the way, how did you feel after that workout? Would you overdo it? Or was it, or no, actually no.

That has been the game for me, is to really do this, and again, like Adam, I'm susceptible to that, like being like caught, if there's people around me, like like loading more weight, you know, going less wraps, like really trying to press myself in that direction. So for me to go, you know, less weight and more reps, I really have to like get into my own zone in my own corner. And so, no, I didn't overdo it, but at the same time, I was fucking beat you know it was tacked. Did you get super sore? I was sore but I wasn't like super sore you know I was like just sore because there's new

stimulus but my my overall energy has been increasing as a result. Really? Yeah so you feeling better? I'm feeling a little better. We awakened a beast. I started split happening. You did split and I know I'm on the the third day. We wrote that shit really well. I am very impressed with ourselves. I started splitting. You did splitting, I didn't. Yeah, I know, I'm on the third. Dude, we wrote that shit really well. I am very impressed with ourselves. I know, you know what? That's on you.

I tell you what, I get caught up in my own shit sometimes, where I want to go in and just do what I feel. I know. But sometimes you got to follow a program, because when we wrote it, we were in the right state of mind, we weren't working out, there was no egos, it was like, okay, we're writing this for other people. It was, so it's, well made.

I'm so glad. I'm so glad. Freedom in it, you know? Like really just going off of a plan versus like drumming it up as you get into the gym. Well, I'm really glad that I waited like, I waited until I felt like I had increased the volume in my current training to even warrant moving over to split.

And I probably, after feeling what I felt like after the first two days of training split, I could have even followed more of a red or black protocol for a little bit longer before because I definitely got sore. It got me. It definitely got me. I hadn't basically focused on a single muscle, one or two muscle groups like that in an entire workout.

And we definitely put some stuff in there. You know, if this person is looking for me to mention, or for us to mention like one trick to change, or to break through a plateau, although they don't work nearly as well, as like what we're talking about earlier, where you change your routine completely, or take a week off,

there is one thing that I've used in the past, one small thing that I've added, and whenever I add it, I do see myself break through plateau, and that's occlusion. Occlusion is silly as it is, as it sounds, and it's different, though, which is great. Dude, and I haven't done it in a while,

and I'm saving it. I'm saving it for the end of this contest, but when I used it on my calves and my arms, it was like, boom, I saw muscle growth. Well, anyway, and what all I do is add it on my calves and my arms, it was like, boom, I saw, you know, muscle growth. Well, anyway, and what all I do is add it to my routine and change anything else. Dude, my favorite video you've done so far is the when you included your biceps. Oh, yeah.

That's hilarious. Oh, I teach I made it some now. Yeah. If I were to give one, one piece of advice to this person, I would say, look at your rep range, look at your rest period, look at your exercise, change all three of those variables and try and change them as dramatically as possible. So if your rest periods, if you're leaning towards the higher end where you're resting 90 seconds or more,

go to really, really short rest periods. If your rep range is really high reps, then go all the way down to low rep range or flip it if it's advice for your exercises. You can follow whatever whether you're doing a split or an anabolic full body type routine. You can still follow all that, but flip all your exercises on a set.

So if you change all three of those stimuluses, I can't imagine your body not responding. What happens is you tend to, like I said, gravitate towards two or three that you tend to like. And changing exercises, I cannot. I cannot. Even just changing exercises, I can't stress enough how impactful it can be and how much I forget sometimes.

It's like, I incorporate the snatch grip high pulls and I've been fucking doing shrugs and training my traps forever. Did that? Boom. Did you, in general, a lot of people avoid power, right? So that's a great way to stimulate new results. Did you guys see our boy Ben Pollock actually switched? He you know that guy is massive as he is and as strong as he is never has done a lunge

Wait, never say that again. Yes. He's gonna get crazy. His squats are gonna go through the roof. I know So I think that's what you done, yeah, I was gonna say, has he done any Bulgarian split? None of that. That's what he had. This shit's gonna go through the roof, dude. I know. I'm excited to see how his body responds.

I saw, he just posted on his Instagram, like maybe a week ago or so, and it shows him with the 45s, which is so funny to see even a, just one plate on the bar the on the on the bar for him. The fact that he's probably it's probably difficult for him because he's never done it. He's probably getting a crazy pump. Those games and that are going to carry on. Oh my god. You can just see stability. He's going back. Yeah. Look at when you guys get a chance.

Go to his go to his Instagram. Look at the video him doing it. And you could just see what a new stimulus it is for his body. He's so used to, you know, being on both feet and squatting heavy as fuck away, just putting 135 on his back and lunging forward. You can just see his body having to work so. What a great experiment. He's gonna explode. What a great experiment. So again, that's another example of like, you know, I think you could probably find some movements, you know,

that you're competing, powerlifting while he was like cutting down for, you know, that you're competing, uh, powerlifting while he was like cutting down for, you know, bodybuilding. Oh, there's, there's the video right there. There's crazy. You're looking out, Doug. Yeah. There you go. Look at it. There 135. You see them. 15 years of lifting and, and six years of powerlifting. This was the first time doing lunges for him. Oh, yeah. Look at that. You can totally tell. Oh right. Oh yeah, see, it's that back, it's that split stance stability that he's having issues with. So great dude, look at how concentrated. Concentrating really hard.

You know what's the thing about it, man? You know what I like about him a lot? Is that because he's lean, you could clearly see the type of muscle development you get with heavy training. And he has very dense looking muscle, and he has a very strong looking core. I mean, his obliques are insane, and that's because the fuck are deadlifts and squats.

Yeah. Shit tons away. He's got nothing but load carried on his back. Yeah, man, and if you're a, you know, if you want to build that quality looking muscle, and a bodybuilder's talk about muscle maturity, lift heavy. Yeah.

That's where you get it, man. For those of you that are listening that obviously you guys can't see and some of that, you guys can look up our boy, you know, Ben at PHDEDLIFT on Instagram and he does all kinds of great videos, really, really smart guys, but on our YouTube channel. Good friend of ours. All right. Next question is from Sprickers. Dr. Terry Walls advocates eating at least six dates, servings of vegetables each day. Dr. Sean Baker advocates eating only meat.

Eating six-date servings of veggies seems like a lot, and eating none doesn't sound ideal either. When it comes to eating vegetables, how do we find our individual minimum effective dose? Well, first of all, I think we should start with, I don't think that Sean Baker advocates eating only meat. I don't think he's telling people that it's a it's the ideal diet for most people. Did you get that from him? He's not saying maybe that specifically, but he's definitely advocating for the carnivore diet. Yeah. And saying how and he's pushing for people to move in that direction to experience

it, I think. So, yeah, and he does say a lot of stuff like, you know, vegetables contain, you know, things that, you know, cause, you know, immune reactions or your body's gonna digest them and You know, here's a thing with diet that I think we need to and this is why it's so crazy This is why why information is so conflicting and this is why we've had them both on the show This is why it's so conflicting. Holorize right away when it comes in nutrition the information we can get you can read one that says, do study shows that eating a, you know, mainly vegetable-based diet reduces risks of cancer. Oh, this study shows a keto diet, reduces risk of cancer inflammation and diabetes. Oh, this study shows paleo, this study shows Mediterranean diet.

Like here's the deal when it comes to nutrition. The, your individual body and your immune system, which plays a massive role in how you react to food and how you assimilate food, your immune system is a fingerprint. It literally is very individual to you. And you'll be more similar to people you're related to than you will to people you won't. This is why you'll see people in families tend to eat better or tend to do better on the similar diets than people who aren't. It's an immune, it's your fingerprint. This is why we'll find people who do really, really well on a carnivore diet or you'll find people who do really, really well on a vegan diet.

There is no one diet that is best for everybody and people need to read because people debate the shit all the time like they're debating math. You know, it's like they debate math. One plus one is to wait to the same thing. No, it's like they debate math. One plus one is to wait to the same thing. No, it's not the same at all. Now, I think the reason why, and I know you're trying the Carnivore diet Justin, the reason why I think a lot of people do well in the Carnivore diet,

or not a lot of people, but the people who say they do well in it do well in it. Because what they're eliminating. It's what they're not eating. Exactly. Has nothing to do with the fact that it's me. I'm very aware of that. And that's really the point of doing it for me is like-

This is like an elimination that pretty. It's exactly, that's exactly how I'm using it. It's an elimination diet where I'm just focused on one thing where I can now reintroduce things and then see how that affects my body. Pay attention to the signs and signals and move forward. But I'm not gonna stay just eating meat regardless of if I feel awesome,

right? That's not flexible, that's not like a long-term strategy. And it all goes down to, you have to look at the context of evolution, always, whenever you look at these things. And humans, there were many times that humans were very few of us on Earth, we almost starved, almost died, or died out because of whatever, you know, the ice age or just life is fucking hard for a human

in the natural world without technology, without, we take all that for granted. And so we lived through periods of eating, whatever was around us. I guarantee you ancient humans, ate insects. I guarantee you that. I guarantee you they ate a lot of plants. You think a caveman is gonna walk by

Edible plants and be like no, I'm a carnivore. Yeah, no the ate it if it was there to eat it Devegan's have a problem with eating insects. I'm just curious No, I don't think so because insects aren't cute. Yeah, insects were cute. They would have a problem. Yeah, buggy eyes Yeah, you never see them trying to save little mandibles, but yeah But I you know again,, what a caveman turned down of a hunted woolly mammoth and be like, no, I'm sorry, I'm a vegan, I only eat. No, man, they ate.

You're hungry. So that meant that there were probably large, long periods of time where all they ate was meat or all they ate were plants or all they ate was both or they ate nothing. This is why fasting is so healthy, because humans routinely went without food for long periods of time.

So you gotta look at it that way. What's the right effective dose for you? This is the advice I give everybody when it comes to nutrition. There's general rules, here's a general rule. Avoid heavily processed foods. I think that's true for everybody. That's foods. I think that's true for everybody. That's one that I think is mostly true for everybody.

Heavily processed foods haven't been around that long. They are designed and engineered to be highly palatable. So good luck trying to figure out whether or not you're eating enough or eating too much or whether you're hungry or not, because those foods are designed to fuck with all that shit. I experienced that recently. I experienced that. Recently, I was eating dinner and I found myself full, but I for sure could grab potato chips

anymore. Even though I knew I was full, my stomach hurt, but I could for sure grab potato chips. That's something to pay attention to. I'd say avoid heavily processed foods. Don't overeat all the time. Don't eat until you're uncomfortable, that's another one. Other than that, a lot of things are kind of up for grabs and you gotta kind of listen to your body.

Like, if you're eating a lot of meat and you're finding your digestion is off, you're not sleeping well, you feel inflamed. I've had clients who had an intolerance to meet where they couldn't eat red meat, for example. Oh, that's rare. Rare, but can happen. I would tell that person. Medium rare. Not to eat, not to't eat red meat for example. Oh, that's rare. Rare, but can happen. I would tell that person.

Medium rare. Not to eat, not to eat much meat. Yeah, lame. I've also known people to have intolerances to most vegetables, like Dr. Sean Baker, Christina Rice is someone like that. She can eat a lot of vegetables because they start to bother her. I would tell that person, listen to your body,

but your body changes too, by the way. So let's say Justin does a carnivore diet and feels fucking amazing. He would be an idiot to think that he's going to force himself to eat like this forever. I would eat like this until you start noticing that, you know, some things kind of be off and that happen to me with keto. Like keto makes me feel really good, but I notice if I'm on it for too long, I get some detrimental effects and I start to get benefits. Yeah, I anticipate that's going to happen, but you notice if I'm on it for too long, I get some detrimental effects and I start to get benefits. And I'm in a bunch.

Yeah, I anticipate that's going to happen, but you know, I don't know, I'm going to go through the process and see. Well, this is a little bit of like we talked with Dr. Drew about the other day, just, you know, with his experience with him. Yeah, the experience with Keto, my experience with Keto, just, you know, I think it's, I think it's really advantageous for us to just rotate through a lot of these diets and pay attention to how you feel. When I used to coach clients, this is exactly what I would do. They would ask, well, what kind of

diet we're going to follow? Well, first of all, we're going to follow any diet. First thing we're going to do is I'm going to assess how you normally eat. So you're going to track and show me what you currently do. And then we can start to, okay, let me. And what I'd like to do is I always like to take them to the other side, right? So if you're somebody who's like gravitated towards sugar and lots of carbohydrates, then yeah, no running sore, I paleo or a ketogenic type of style would be a great way. Let's see how your body responds when we do this.

And then let's see what it responds when we go vegan. Let's see what it responds when you do like a zone type of diet. Let's see how your body's responding to all these different. And I think that you gotta be careful of is when you see the results, because what happens the most people. You get attached to it, man. Right, then they become very dogmatic. You get attached to it, man. Right. Then they become very dogmatic.

Oh, my body just does so well with this. Well, does it do so well, or are you so far on the other side for so long that you made the switch, and so your body's thanking you for that. Finally, maybe it'll do that again six months down the road when you decide to switch out of that diet into another. Right. Even Dr. Mccola, who's like the god like the Godfather of keto, right? He's the Godfather of eating no carbs, eat lots of fat.

He's been talking about this for decades on the internet. Even he now advocates for once a week, eat enough carbs to kick yourself out of ketosis. He even says that that's probably healthy and beneficial. So, I mean, I coach people now, I have people now that I don't work with a lot of people, just a few, like I've said before, to keep my finger on the pulse of what's going on. But they're radically different. I'll have clients that, and what I typically do when I, when I coach someone,

is I'll give them, you know, three or four days a week of a, of a low carb option and three or four days a week of a higher carb option. And then we observe and see how they feel. Now most people are kind of okay with both because if not extreme, I don't go extreme high carbon, extreme low carb, we'll just kind of, but I do get the occasional people who they'll give me, you know, feedback and they'll be like, oh man, the low carb days, I feel terrible,

I have no energy, I don't feel strong in the gym, I don't have good sleep, and then I'll get the opposite where people tell me, oh man, the low carb days feel the best for me. That's when I have the most energy. And so then we start to kind of lean towards what is feeling better for that person. I tried the carnivore diet and it's funny because

I got a lot of flack for this from people because they're like, you gotta stick to it longer, you gotta go through the initial period or whatever. Look, okay, I went into the carnivore diet after a fast and after that and before that fast I was eating keto. So it wasn't that big of a difference. It's not very dramatic. Yeah, the difference was that I just didn't eat vegetables. I also know my body very well and I know the difference between my digestive system adjusting to a new diet versus having a major reaction to

not eating the way my body wants to and needing to come out of it. So two, three days later, carnivore diet, I couldn't do it. I had to have vegetables because what I was experienced was no bowel movements and then the opposite, which was like a flood, and it was not good. And I could tell my immune system wasn't reacting well. So I came out of it. I didn't need to go longer.

I didn't need to see if I can stick to it longer. You know, if it worked the other way, would I have continued longer? I just would have listened to my body. So you kind of have to do that for yourself. What I typically recommend clients do is eat more vet. Usually people need to eat more vegetables in my experience. They usually do better eating more vegetables. I agree. Well, cooked vegetables seem to be easier to digest for most people. So that's another thing too. So if I tell people, okay, you're only eating one serving of vegetables a day, let's double it and go to two.

I don't typically recommend they go to a raw vegetables right away. I'll say, let's go well-cooked, because that seems to be easier for people to digest. And I'll slowly increase their vegetable intake until they're like, I don't want any more vegetables, or I'm not feeling that good. And then I back off a little bit, and then we find out what that's sweet about.

The bottom line is you've got to pay attention to yourself, and look at these things, like energy, mood, your sleep, your libido, your digested, your stool, your payments. Yeah, pay attention to all those things, and you may be somebody who, you know, when you lean more towards an all-meat diet, you feel better on you, maybe someone who

leans more towards a vegan-type diet, you feel better, or you might feel great right in the middle. So it really just depends on how you feel. I feel personally, I feel best when I have a serving of vegetable with every meal. I agree. Are you the same way?

Yeah, I'm the same way too. And part of that for me is it actually helped. So when I look at my plate, I tend to go to the vegetables first and then I go to the meat and fat. And the last thing I do is the carbohydrate. So I like it just because of that too. It kind of keeps me, because for most of my life I was the opposite. I was starched, and it's filled up on the starches.

The potatoes and the rice is impostas and bread and just drill all that. And then maybe I get to the meat and then rarely ever get to my vegetable, where I've just kind of flipped the order of eating, and not only do I feel better, but it also keeps me from overindulging on certain foods that I probably shouldn't. Something else I've noticed that that's interesting. I'm gonna keep paying attention to it.

I wanted to bring this up, and I forgot to. I seem to do better, because now I'm having more starches. I seem to do better when I have the starches by themselves. So if I eat my protein and fats and vegetables, that seems to, I seem to digest the better when I have that by itself, and then later, an hour or two later or whatever, just have the starches all by themselves, which is counter to what I used to think, which was have the fats and proteins to blunt the insulin response, but my digestion wasn't as good. Now, I've read, I know in Chinese medicine

and aeravetic medicine, they recommend not combining starches with proteins and fats. And I think it's interesting, right? I'm gonna keep paying attention to that and see how that feels for me. So we'll see. Next question is from Johnson35.

What are your best alternatives to amphetamines to help the younger generation focus when they need to be productive? Oh wow. This is a crazy turn. This has got to be a response to ridling what we've been talking about. We talked about this with Dr. Drew. Do you see Dr. Drew's response? Oh yeah. He was so angry. He didn't even want to talk about it. Yeah, yeah. He said that the medical community is doing with amphetamines what they did with with opiates. Yeah. Because right now we're in an opiate epidemic, but right on its heels is an amphetamine epidemic. Which is gonna pass it.

The way it's going right now. Well, we're giving it to kids. They're just handing them out. Like two frivolous. It's one, what is it? One of every 10 kids is on amphetamines, young kids. And the doses they gave them, I mean, you guys remember when we all tried,

was it Ritalin or Adderall at 10 milligrams, we're all like, holy shit. It was powerful. And then I looked up like how much they give to kids and oftentimes kids will take twice that much. Young kids, eight years old. It's crazy. You imagine giving a kid 20 milligrams of fucking makes me angry. Yeah.

It's insane to me. I think part of the problem. And I remember in the, was it magic pills or what was the document? Oh, take your pills. Take your pills. I don't like you saying magic pills. Take your, I think it's part of the problem and I remember in the was it magic pills or what was the documentary? Oh take your pills. I don't like you say magic pills take your I think Yeah, really that's like cross over there. No, I think that one of the one of the moms in there I think he hit it hit it on the head which was you know I used to just take him outside and run and exercise and and and get him outside where I feel like we lit the generation coming up now You're just so glued to your computer screen and we're so sedentary that it's just they're wound up. They're just wound up and all that it's hard for them to settle down and focus on one thing.

And of course there's exceptions to the rule and this is a total overgeneralization, right? But I think that's the first place that I would go is to getting them more physical, active, disconnected from the electronics and then see how that starts to help them when they actually sit down and focus on a task. Agreed, there was a school in Texas that tripled recess time to try and combat this or work with this. And they almost all, this was the article,

the news article, they almost all but eliminated ADD symptoms in the kids because they had them go, here's the thing, like your brain, your brain doesn't just produce, you know, what it wants to, it also receives feedback and then that kind of dictates how the brain operates. And a lot of that is this, your senses, in some of the senses are sight and sound and smell and others are movement and touch and feel and experience and if you don't go out and move a lot because kids don't move nearly as much as they used to. So I've noticed that for my own kids, I noticed that as a big one. If my kids are on the computers

for two hours, it directly affects their mood. 100%. Yeah, 100%. I have to go and plan my day around getting them exercise and getting them out, getting them activities because and it starts from the very moment we wake up. It's like, you know, their mood is affected by, you know, the time it takes for Courtney and I to get out of bed and then they've been watching TV or like being on some kind of electronic device. And by the time we connect to them and start our day, it's like, that sets the tone. Yep, yep, and then the other one is food.

When I see my kids eat, a lot, especially that's a sugar and lots of process foods, I notice their ability to focus is much lower than more irritable and just harder to deal with. And if you're a teacher, you know, I got these bunch of kids that are hard to deal with, a drug like Riddle and Raddle, all is like a godsend, like,

oh, look, my class is listening. Everybody's paying attention. The scary part about all this is it fucking works. Of course, you know what I'm saying? That's the scary part is that this shit. That's why it's so popular. But here's the thing that Dr. Drew said that I thought was brilliant is he's like, yeah,

they do a study with these things for one or two months and you're going to get great results. You keep someone on this stuff for years. You start to see some interesting things that start to happen because emphetamines are connected to mental disorders, schizophrenia's, or you know. It's going to have detrimental effects on the brain. I can't see that it won't. I don't know.

Well, haven't, didn't one of you, didn't you share an article with us that like almost all the shootings that we've dealt with in the last decade or whatever had had something to do with what was going on? Yeah, they're all on psychotropic type medications and phedomines and on other types of medications. That's a hard one too because is it,

you know, because of a fact, nobody wants to hear that. Well, it could be cause of effect too, is that they already because we want to hear what he wants to hear that well It could be cause or effect you is it that they already are troubled and which is why they're on them or could because look We all know how how like the classic tweaker and how crazy they can behave and what they can do you know Actually, I didn't even tell you guys my ex-wife's dad a fucking tweaker broke into his house in the morning when he was home Kicked his door down in the morning in the morning when he was home kicked his door down in the morning in the morning when he was home Kick the door down like how early it was like 6 a.m. Oh my god Wow, it's my doubt it kicks his door down and comes up stairs

He confronts the guy and the guy runs away Cops show up and they find the guy down the straight street breaking up breaking into cars He was obviously just not there. Yeah, just to try to get his fix I said we grew up I'm like cousin grew up in a town that was like tons of tweakers. And that's literally you have to be from midnight to four in the morning.

They're just, we'll climb in someone's room, dude. Just like climb in and just try and steal something that could turn around and flip and sell for 50 to 100 bucks real quick so they can get a fix. They're very focused, you know, on one thing. Yeah. But they don't consider all the rare occasions or anything, they're just like, I'm getting this, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.

Yeah. No, I think some good alternatives are scheduled activity. It has to be scheduled nowadays because it's not natural for kids to move a lot anymore. And then watch their diet. Have them eat a diet that's low in sugar, low in processed type foods.

And then pay attention to if your kid does better with more frequent feeding or less frequent feeding, and one of the ways one of the signals you can read for that is your kid hungry. So because some parents will force feed their kids because it's a time to hungry, not cravings. Right, right, right. Because they're asking for chips or you know all that kind of shit that's just because they're craving a car. That was a hard one for me because my, especially my daughter, she's just not,

she wants to see like the once or twice a day. That was a hard one for me. That's my youngest, yeah. That was a hard one to deal with for me because I was raised like, no, you eat when we're supposed to and you force feed your kids. So now I'll ask her, you hungry and she'll say no and then that's it.

You know, obviously I'm not a child dealing with this, but I know this just happened to me yesterday, right? So Saturday, something I've been trying to get better about is, you know, I went back, I saw family, and so I completely set down the phone and didn't use it. I didn't answer it and get any social media. Didn't do none of that shit. The only problem with that is come Sunday morning

or whatever when I open up, I've got fucking bajillion DMs that I have to answer. So I'm sitting there and I'm like answering come Sunday morning or whatever when I open up, I've got fucking bajillion DMs that I have to answer. So I'm sitting there and I'm like answering on Sunday morning and it took me about an hour and a half, two hours to get all the way through it. And then I just felt this like unmotivated like all day long type of feeling. And I remember telling Katrina because she was doing that, she was working on like the house stuff and things that we're looking for for that. So we were both kind of like on our phones and computer like all morning long.

And I'm like, you know what? And I didn't want to do it. I just felt like, so with Arter's like, let's get out, let's just go for a walk. Let's just go for a nice walk for about a mile or two. And I remember, she was kind of like, I don't feel like we have to do this, we have to do that. I'm like, let's just break from what we're doing right now

because I can feel, I can just feel the energy. I feel like that about what we're doing. I don't feel very productive anymore. Got up, took a walk and completely changed my mindset. Just being out in nature, not having my phone on me, walking outside, and then I was able to come back and get more work done. So I don't know what you guys think about,

breaking up whatever the kids are doing, whether they're doing homework or working on it. For sure, change the environment. For sure, 100%. That's what that school did. They tripled the recess time. Kids scores went up. They were focusing more.

It was easier for them to focus, symptoms of ADD and ADHD went down. I just think the current environment of poor food intake low activity, recess is not even a thing anymore. And they're cutting physical classes or whatever. Increase activity, change the process food thing, change the learning environment a little bit, and I think we wouldn't have a big issue,

and I know it's harder to do than giving people pills, but is it really though? What are we heading for? I don't know. Next question is from O'Reilly O'6. What are some of the top items off of each of your bucket lists before you die? Oh wow.

Yeah. Do you guys have anything like that? You know, like big things where you're like, okay, this is something I want to do before. And I'll create one. I don't really have any but I'll think of something. Yeah, I'm sure I would create a bucket list. Do you have one sound?

Yeah, well, I want to definitely write a book before I die, it's something I want to do about bucket list. Do you have one sound? Yeah, well, I want to definitely write a book before I die. It's something I want to do maybe sometime soon. That's one, I want to do a very, very long, maybe hike that Appalachian Trail where you go and do that long hike or you're out there forever and you have to drop your food off. I want to do something like that and I haven't really thought of anything else.

You know. That's a tough one. I wanna throw $100,000 in ones at a strip club on the floor. And that would be good. What the fuck? I think it'd be kinda cool. $100,000 in one.

Classic Adam. You know what, you can almost make it rain. You can almost, Donald duck swim through $100,000. Oh, it's like duck. That's crazy. That's not all that. Bro speaking of stupid money. You want to hear something just made me so furious this weekend? What? Furious. What? So Forbes magazine, Prince the St. article, Kylie Jenner, is worth $900 million.

She's maybe the first billionaire under a particular age, whatever, fans have created these donation pages. Just to get her there. How per get there? To help her become a billionaire. Wow. Are you fucking kidding me? Wow.

So far, over 90, you have to do it. So far, over 90 people have donated over $2,000 to get her to that. Shut up. How sad is that? That's more important in curing disease. How sad is that? people have donated over $2,000 to get her to that. Shut. How sad is that? That's more important than curing disease. How sad is that?

That we're donating money to fucking people just because we, oh man. Can we redirect that money? It shows you the power of social media. It shows you how bad people want rulers. That's what it is. We want, like England has their royal family. We do it with our celebrities.

Like we want these people to, we put them on a pedestal. We want them to do it. We miss guided power. Stupid. That's crazy. So dumb. Just we want you to be a billion people. That makes me angry.

Yeah, I don't, you know bucket list wise, I don't have too many. I tend to like, you know, like Katrina and I do this a lot, where we decided in the beginning of the year, like, oh, we want to go here, we want to do that. And we set that goal in the beginning of the year and we typically do it. There's not a lot of things that I've said

that I really, really want to do that I haven't done yet. But I'm sure this stuff will come up and I'm sure as we get older to where, like, I'm looking at the end of my life, I think more. Like right now, I don't feel like I look at my life that often where it's like, I guess I'm going to swim with sharks or something like that. Yeah, yeah, that's like, and it's not to say that I wouldn't want to do some cool shit like that. Like, I'm definitely somebody where it's like, I guess you don't want to swim with sharks or something like that. Yeah, yeah, that's like,

and it's not to say that I wouldn't want to do some cool shit like that. Like I'm definitely somebody who would be like, okay, I'm down for it. Like I love the podcast like that. You know what I'm saying? I want us to do some crazy, podcast with sharks.

Yeah, well I like what Taylor's idea of like podcasting like the most crazy areas. I think we would just be cool to be the ones who do that. So I mean, you could put that on a public list. That'd be cool. Yeah, we want to do a hot air balloon. We want to do it underneath the sharks. cool to be the ones who do that. So, I mean, you could put that on a bucket list. That'd be kind of cool. Yeah. We want to do a hot air balloon, we want to do it underneath the sharks, we could do some cool shit like that.

Yeah, that'd be fun. But I don't really have a crazy bucket list. I haven't thought about that. I think, yeah, I don't know about bucket because what we're doing right now kind of provides opportunity like as far as travel goes, like eventually I figured like, we'll hit the spots I want to go. You know, like I want to go to Machu Picchu. I want to go like, you know, Egypt and like, check out all the old ruins and all that kind of stuff.

But I mean, that's not like anything that crazy. But I do have like this sci-fi book. I want to finish it. Yeah. You like how I set that up? Yeah. I don't really have much. I don't have anything left.

But I really want to write this sci-fi book that I've been working on my life. Well, any idea that I've had that I haven't fully actualized, like I want to fucking complete it. I want it to be out there in the world and be done. So it's like I expunge it out from my existence. Maybe we'll be the production company to support your exactly.

Exactly, well, this is what we've been building all the back in for all of my ideas. You guys didn't know that. Can I be in it? Yeah, all right cool. I feel bad. I feel bad for this person because I think it would be a looky It's it could be an interesting question. I just never sat down. Oh, I have another one for myself I want to run for public office one day some kind of public office really? Yes You've tortured yourself. Uh-huh. Oh, my goodness. I mean, we'll support you

Yeah, I'll have a bumper sticker. Yeah, make sure you hide I'm gonna piss everybody off goodness, I mean, we'll support you. I'll have a bumper sticker. Yeah, make sure you hide. Yeah, I'd love you to hide. Yeah, I know. I'm gonna piss everybody off. That's scary, dude. I know it, can you wait till we're like super, super successful before you decide to do something? Oh, I'm not thinking about doing anything like a chance of you being assassinated.

Gotta be like a 50-50. Oh, yeah, for sure. I got such a big mouth, someone's gonna wanna. That'll be the goal, too. All right, I'm done. You've tried to kill him before I had to go out of the bag. No, but yeah, that's was something that I'll be the goal too. All right, I'm done. I'm gonna try to kill him. Go out of the bag. No, but yeah, so that's was something that I've thought about for a long time,

but mainly it's just so I can say what I want to say in the right arena, I guess. But, you know, who knows, maybe I'll just do it through this, you know. Right. I don't know. So check this out, we have like 12 guides. They're totally free and they're very valuable.
