The new blue planet blew my mind. Did you watch the one where the sperm whales just, I had a lot of blues. Where they're just like, this look, they're just hanging. They look like they're plants.

Starting point is 00:06:03 Yeah. But there's floating in the ocean. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. No, they're just hanging. They look like they're plants. Yeah. But there's floating in the ocean. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. No one had that one hanging. Those cuddle fish with the changing pigment. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:11 Oh man, that was a trip to the fish. How about the fish that's smart enough to go get like the clams on the edge fish? That's a lot of finding these. I'm slamming it and slam it against the rock and open it. Fishers, I thought they were dumb, but they were smarter than we think. Oh, and they talked to each other. Like who pat, like you know we talked about the Nintendo thing. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:30 Like who passes that down in the fish world? Like you're just born and you know to go get, you know to go get these clams and slam them against the rock. It's a little weird, don't you think? Yeah, it is kind of weird. I bet you there's an under the sea internet. The internet has the saw go. Under the sea internet How's the song go? I'm convinced it could have been the weed though that had me think so I have to do I think that was it

Starting point is 00:06:55 Were you I don't know you were doing that? You were sitting there blaze and you were thinking What if I lived under there ocean? So my favorite thing to do. My Mermaid exist. I haven't watched it. You guys have talked about it now twice on the show. And I've been itching to watch it. And I haven't had a night where I've got home before Katrina. And I've had the house to myself. So last night I got home and she had to do some work of it.

Starting point is 00:07:18 I came around with what she was doing. And so she wasn't going to be home for a couple hours. And I was like, what am I going to do? I'm like, oh, I don't know what I do. Poor no. I'm going to. Oh, my bad. Yeah, that's different. That I gonna do? I'm like, oh, I don't know what I do. Poor nub. I'm gonna sh- Oh my bad. Yeah, that's different.

Starting point is 00:07:26 That's different. Yeah, that's yeah, Thursday nights. No, so I was like, oh, I'm gonna watch Blue Planet. So I got my little ass tray already and I got the surround, so I got my DevTek surround town, surround town all set up now. Oh, shit. So if you have like the perfect TV

Starting point is 00:07:40 and everything, like that is such the perfect show. Was it just like, were you, it's euphoric. It's very, very euphoric. It's amazing. Did you cry a little bit? I don't cry, but it sucks me in. It does to me sometimes. She'll come in, and I'm that.

Starting point is 00:07:54 Huh? If I see something that is enthralling, it has to do with nature, I wanna cry, I don't cry, but I want to. You want to. Yeah, I can't make myself though, I'm too strong, but I try. You push it back in. Yeah, it just goes right back inside.

Starting point is 00:08:11 But that show is, and I have to admit something that's a little bit, I don't know why it's embarrassing to admit this, it shouldn't be embarrassing. Because you know why it's embarrassing? Because girls claim this a long time ago, and I'm gonna take it back. Dolphins are the baddest animals on the planet. That's it, I said it baddest.

Starting point is 00:08:27 Dolphins are awesome. They're intelligent, extremely, but baddest? Bro, they're fast. Come on, dude, orcas. They're fit. Yeah, they'll eat them for breakfast. But they're like dolphins, they're all the same kind of family. Yeah, I mean, they're majestic.

Starting point is 00:08:42 But they're so smart. And then they think of different different adjectives and they do ship for fun. It's a fish that does stuff purely for fun. A lot of them do. No, they don't. Did you see the stingrays? What did they do for fun? When they get over to the, I forget what, what, what, what, what part of the ocean they get to, what they all migrate to an area, when they jump out and they jump out and they, and they belly flop.. Yeah, they're all doing belly flops Yeah, why they do that? That's just they're cool That's like you it's summer camp. You know, I'm saying belly flop and dolphin spin things

Starting point is 00:09:11 Dolphins are just super rad and then they they have lots of sex don't they have lots of sex rest then I think you were telling me something about that Absolutely. I've watched it. They're super into cool stuff. Yeah, and you know that everybody did you know that dolphins? and put it into cool stuff. And you know that everybody. Did you know that dolphins have been known to save human lives? Did you know this? No. Yes, there's plain.

Starting point is 00:09:30 There's plain yourself. I've heard about that. True stories where people were in the ocean and were surrounded by sharks or something, or like a shark, something dangerous. And dolphins will come over and they'll hit the shark with their nose and get the shark away and surround the human to protect them

Starting point is 00:09:51 from the dangerous shark. Really? Name one other animal in the ocean that protects humans that way. That's what I'm saying. So dolphins are awesome. I don't care, I'm not embarrassed to say it. I mean, it explains.

Starting point is 00:10:04 I mean, that's the tattoo I'm I just explain the low back tattoo now. Yeah, it does explain It's a I don't know why it's leaping over a record a quote that ass right? It's it's it's jumping over stars. Yeah In the moon. Yeah, I just like their language Yeah, they do what did you just say I? I mean, I'll leave that to interpretation. Yeah. You know what's cool about dolls. So did you guys know that that a long time ago,

Starting point is 00:10:31 I might be making this up. You ever make something up once and say it enough times and you don't know if it's true or not? Maybe you did all the time. Doug, try to confirm that I believe you like every time. So far, I've been, I've been, it hasn't happened, but maybe I'm wrong on this. But I think that at one point there was researchers that gave dolphins LSD to see if they could communicate with them or expand their mind or whatever. Did you guys know this? No. Look up LSD.

Starting point is 00:10:58 There it is. There it is. What we've learned from giving dolphins LSD, look at this, look at this mom is face That's crazy the color is so cool. So it it worked. It says communication between humans and animals may be possible after all Well, they do communicate with each other and what I find that so fascinating is here we are Apparently the smartest animals on earth Apex predators we invent all kinds of cool stuff

Starting point is 00:11:25 We think so abstractly, but we cannot figure out Dolphin language. Yeah, we cannot figure out how they communicate with each other and it must have to do with Something other than just the sounds you know, I mean Mm-hmm It must have to do with the tempo or it's something so complex clicking in this or something outside of our scope So outside of our scope that so outside of our scope, that we just can't, because imagine if we could figure it out,

Starting point is 00:11:47 and while they're talking to each other, it's sometimes a lot of fun. Under water, I mean, you have to make sounds that carry really far. Yeah. So I just don't think that we perceive that tie. It's almost like a dog whistle or something like that. So you just don't hear it the same way.

Starting point is 00:12:01 Wow. What does that say right there, Doug, about what happened when they were on acid? It says that they were bespoke the dolphins. Let's see, they remember were far more vocal than usual. So I guess they spoke a lot more when they were on acid. They're probably like, help me. Take it out. I'm afraid.

Starting point is 00:12:21 Or what if they just all of a sudden were like, whoa, I'm a dolphin. Well, I think it wasn't blue planet, but it was another one of those shows that talked about how a lot of these animals are most animals do seek like euphoria through other ways. Yeah. I think dolphins will, won't they do something with pufferfish?

Starting point is 00:12:37 Mm-hmm. And it'll take their getting high, but the pufferfish. Yeah, it's like almost every species gets high. Mm-hmm. A lot of them do. Some animals will make themselves dizzy. They'll spin. Same difference, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, they'll get gets high. Mm-hmm. A lot of them do. Some animals will make themselves dizzy. They'll spin.

Starting point is 00:12:47 Same difference, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's getting high. And then there's other, I forgot what animal it was. They get twisted, join up, they would. I know birds eat certain kind of berry or something like that. Now birds do the ants, the fire ants. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:12:58 So there's birds that will get like the fire ants and they'll put them under their wings. And because the fire ants have like a little bit of, it's like their bites, a little poisonous, just enough to like get them high. And so they rub the fire ants have like a little bit of, it's like their bites, a little poisonous, just enough to like get them high. And so they rub the fire ants on their stomach and their wings. That's crazy. Isn't that weird?

Starting point is 00:13:11 There's also animals that will eat certain types of fermented berries because it's like, it's got alcohol. Yeah. So they sit there and get drunk off of the fermented berries. I feel like it's crows. Is it crows that do that? They're really smart. Yeah, all kinds of crazy stuff.

Starting point is 00:13:27 Yeah, there's a theory that humans developed the concept of afterlife and religion and all that stuff because of psychedelic natural compounds, like hunter gathers, right? And so, the gathers, so probably, the first high people will probably women because they were the gathers, right? And so, you know, the gathers, so probably the first high people will probably women because they were the gathers. So there they are gathering food. It makes a lot sense.

Starting point is 00:13:51 And they're gathering, you know, different edible things and they find mushrooms and they're probably like, you know, okay, well, we don't have much food today. Let's test this out and see what happens. Eat the mushrooms. You know what I mean? Yeah, wasn't there some kind of stoned ape theory? Was Terence McKenna or the McKenna's?

Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah, they were talking about that. And as far as brain development, like we had this like rapid development after we found psychedelics. Well, this is all stuff that we hate. This is all stuff that we know, right? In terms of like what we can find, because there's stuff that's so old that we don't have record. But for what we have, it's like humans were the same, and then all of a sudden, I think, I don't remember what it was around 10 or 20,000 years, something like that, or no further, all of a sudden, humans displayed belief in, like, after life, and they started coming up with what looks like rituals that are, you know, religious based or whatever. But before that, there wasn't anything or any type of evidence. And so they

Starting point is 00:14:50 think what happened was these people discovered natural psychedelic compounds. And it's just, because think about it this way, like if, if, think about how abstract some of the things that we take for Granadar and how a leap of mind power took to come up with some of these concepts like the afterlife. That's a very abstract thought that we don't even consider anymore. We think it's not a big deal. But humans were like animals, so we just, we're alive and we're dead, we're in the moment. Somebody came up with this concept of no, your existence happens, it continues past the time

Starting point is 00:15:27 that you actually die. That's a very abstract, crazy thought. Very abstract. Yeah. Maybe we figured out that that gave us purpose and we started to live longer and live better. There's definitely, they call it the god gene. There's an evolutionary purpose for us believing

Starting point is 00:15:42 in that kind of stuff. And a lot of scientists think that's what it is. Right, it makes sense. Yeah, like why would you do anything for the next five generations when you're not going to benefit from it? Right. You know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:15:54 You know, you should go over that mountain over there and we know that there's saber tooth lines and shit, but for us to continue to survive, and you know, you'd probably be like, now I'm cool. Yeah, I'm all right. Yeah, you go. You, now I'm cool. Yeah. Yeah. I'm all right. Yeah. You go.

Starting point is 00:16:06 Yeah, exactly. So anyways, did you guys see what a green span said? You guys know green span is right? Of course. If he says it, it's what's going down. Well, when it comes to the market, man. He's the fed. He's the former.

Starting point is 00:16:19 He was the first one to come out with before the big housing crisis. Yeah. You call that shit way early. So he was a federal reserve chairman, and he warned us two decades ago that irrational exuberance in the stock market, you know, would see equity prices

Starting point is 00:16:33 kind of do some crazy shit. Anyway, he's saying right now that the markets could still go up further, but he warned investors that the correction is gonna be very painful. He says that the end of that run, run for cover. And he basically said the title of this article was, investors should prepare for the worst. That's right.

Starting point is 00:16:56 And down the hatches. Yeah. And this reminds me of a few staple things that I think people should all consider what comes to like protecting your money and investing. Like things that we don't even consider, especially when we're young. Like having liquid cash, I think is real important. You know, we tend to put ourselves in debt and we buy things, we have payments on stuff.

Starting point is 00:17:18 But having liquid money in the bank, that physical assets. Yeah, yeah, physical assets can protect you, but if those value of those assets decline, like the housing market, you know, like if you buy a house for 600 grand and you get a loan for 600 grand and shit goes south, and now your loan is for 600 grand,

Starting point is 00:17:36 but your houses work 200 grand. Like, you know, that's what happened with the housing market, right? Like people had to walk away. Life insurance is another very important staple thing that a lot of people do. I was just looking at that with Doug. Doug had me. What were you guys looking at?

Starting point is 00:17:49 Well, he had me up on the health IQ thing and there, you know, Rachel and him were trying to convince me to do that in my life insurance. Yeah, but I'm like, I don't wanna fucking leave my money to anybody. There's nobody I wanna leave money to. And then, Rachel, you're stingy, you're dead. I know.

Starting point is 00:18:02 Rachel spoke up. I feel like she should leave it to us. Well, what about Katrina is what she said to me. Oh, yeah, we'll take care of her. And I said, okay, well, that's a good point. But I said at the same time too, I don't want to leave her so much money that she's motivated for me to die.

Starting point is 00:18:14 You know, so we figured out that I'm going to do a million dollar policy. So a million dollar policy, which I feel good about that. I'm like, that would handle any sort of major bills or anything that she might have and I'll feel good about that. Like that would handle any sort of major bills or anything that she might have, and I'll feel good about that. But it's not quite enough money where she's like, you know, this guy is not gonna make very much money.

Starting point is 00:18:31 Because right now you're worth more than a million. Right. Well, a million, but then you're saying you're gonna make more than that. Yeah, exactly. She's like, keep them around every year. I'm gonna make that kind of money. She's more potential, I can squeeze that.

Starting point is 00:18:40 Exactly. So I don't wanna like, a 10 million or a hundred million dollar type of policy. Cause then it's, she's like, I don't know if you're gonna make that one. Yeah, she's better off dead, right? So I don't want to like a 10 million or a hundred million dollar type of policy Because then it's just like I don't know if he's gonna make that one. Yeah, it's just better off dead, right? So I don't want it to be moated. She starts rolling tobacco in your joints. Yeah It's only it was actually only a long play five a little over 500 bucks For a 20 year policy 500 bucks. What a year. Yeah, so it's not bad less than 50 if you're fit and healthy This is see health IQs. They're freaking amazing. Yeah, they're's not bad. Less than 50 bucks. Dude, if you're fit and healthy, this is, see, health IQ is, they're freaking amazing.

Starting point is 00:19:05 Yeah, they're on top of it. They're amazing in this because if you're a fit, healthy person and you go to a regular, go get a regular policy, they don't really consider, I mean, they consider good health, but it's not, they're working with a pool of average people. Health IQ is working with just fit and healthy people. So you can get the best prices.

Starting point is 00:19:21 Well, and that's what I was saying, okay. I, because I was at, I've been, I've been, it's 50, less less than fifty bucks it was like five twenty million dollar policy right and that's and that's enough to where I feel like okay if if I were to go that she wouldn't be fucked she would be fucked with bill she could take care of all joking aside and I I know we're making joke in light of this but do you know how much a funeral cost right oh it's's dude, yeah. That is, that's the most unfortunate side that people don't want to write me on fire.

Starting point is 00:19:50 Oh man, I have been on a cruise. I mean, literally throw some gas in the middle. Yeah, no, I'm with you. I'm with you, like, yeah, just break the law for me. I've been through a lot of time. That'll cost me. I'm saying, scatter me on, you know, the universe, I don't care. No, it's, there are tens of thousands of dollars

Starting point is 00:20:04 for a funeral. So it's like, you know, I don't care how filthy Rich I am when I die. Like I want my family to just not spend any money on that. Really? Yeah, okay. Can I put you in like a, you could put a powder?

Starting point is 00:20:16 Whatever, cheaper. Pro-teen powder? Cheap for the better. Ingester S.S. Yeah, put pocket the money. I'm saying, if I leave you with a million or 10, I'm not planting Adam Tree. You go as cheap as you can, me the smallest little put a little plaque

Starting point is 00:20:28 Where you guys can all show up once a year and be like we miss you bro? I'm saying that's it. Adam tree. Yeah, the top of it's gonna be like that that we leave. Yeah That's not funny. It's not funny at all Little brown I'm sorry Just a little brown She has a little bit of that is not Sam blitz not funny. Oh, why is the plant tree grows I'm so full and lush so weird Or tell I was I was gonna donate like a big library, you know, oh Town Adam's Adam library. Yeah, everybody.

Starting point is 00:21:05 All the book check out digital books. You have life. Do you have a life insurance already? I do. I have kids. I mean, season of the thing. It's like, you think more about these things in, but I think the like in an Adam's case, if he got on this now, he could even have better rate. I would I would imagine. Yeah. That's what Doug was showing me. I mean, the younger you are, the cheaper. I mean, if you were 10 years younger than I was, it would be, it would be, I wish I would have got mine earlier. Is what I'm saying. I'm telling you, it's a dumb thing to not invest in.

Starting point is 00:21:31 It's not expensive. If you're fit and healthy and relatively young, it's just not, how many things do you spend more than 500 bucks a year on? That was my point to Doug. I was like, okay, I literally have like five gym memberships that I'm paying like $49, $39 a month. It's like, I cancel one of those gym memberships

Starting point is 00:21:47 and now I have life insurance. So, and I'm covered for 20 years at a million dollars. It's kind of a no-brainer to at least have that at the bare minimum. I did mine a while ago. This is before Health IQ, and I'm gonna do another policy because you can have more than one policy, right, Doug? I can have a bunch of,

Starting point is 00:22:05 I did one with Doug years ago when he was my client and I think I wanna get, definitely get another one and I might get one that's like you said, a million or two million. Yeah. Yeah, we don't wanna motivate or better have to get rid of us. Yeah, no, it's just like, you don't wanna leave too much for him.

Starting point is 00:22:19 Can you leave it without her knowing? Doug, can you leave it just to your kids? You can make anybody a bit of a fish here. Even underage, you can do that and then they'll get it without her knowing. Doug, can you leave it just to your kids? You can make anybody a bit of a fish here. Even underage, you can do that. And then they'll get it when they turn 18. Unfortunately, I have no microphone. He has no microphone, but I'll, yeah, here we go. Use justines.

Starting point is 00:22:34 You can leave it to anyone. However, kids are under 18, so they need some type of guardian. So it's ideal if you have a living trust, which will dictate how the money is distributed, who's going to be the guardian of the children, et cetera, et cetera. So that's important to do that. But yes, you do want to have your kids as your beneficiaries, ideally, your significant other as your primary.

Starting point is 00:22:57 Justin, did you smell a little bit like Douglas Fyr? Is that purposeful? Yeah, he's got the... Yes, yes, we do have a guest here today, Christina Rice is sitting right over there. She has my microphone, but she gave me some essence of Douglas Fir. Douglas, it's exuding off of you.

Starting point is 00:23:15 So, Justin, you did it, so you have life insurance, and you did you dictate that or what? Like, the said what Doug was just saying? Yeah, no. My wife was responsible for that, so I had to have to check that out with her. So I didn't do any of that. So she's fine. She'll be just fine.

Starting point is 00:23:32 She had the exact, I might have to actually revisit it. And look and see if I can cut myself. You're finding glass in this pasta? Like what the hell? Why is there a piece of glass in this pasta? What's going on here? Yeah, weird. Hey, did you guys see the advertisement My eyes were piece of glass. I'm just laughing at this. What's going on here? Yeah, weird. And what?

Starting point is 00:23:45 Hey, did you guys see the advertisement that Google did with the Home Alone remake? Oh, you can't. I can't just say that. It's so good. It's McCulley Cogan, but he's an adult. And they did a whole remake of the Home Alone scene of the classic.

Starting point is 00:23:59 Yeah, no, it's a great little ad. It's hilarious. Was it really good? Yeah, yeah, you guys are going to watch it. And now is it just for online? Are they posting it on TV? Oh, I don't know, I might hit TV, I'm not sure. It's online right now, she sent it over in an ad

Starting point is 00:24:12 and I just watched the ad, it's pretty hilarious. Oh, Justin, I got some good news for you. You do? I got really good news for you. Sweet. New York, okay, so now when you go to New York, you can now carry nunchucks. They're not, they're not, finally that wasn't allowed.

Starting point is 00:24:29 Yeah, it was actually banned in New York state in 1974. They actually banned nunchucks. You ready for this? What? They banned it in 1970. This is a great example of how silly government can be because they'll just overreact. I have nothing to do, right?

Starting point is 00:24:44 Oh, we gotta make more laws. It was banned were they had some fears that youth inspired by martial arts movies would create widespread Mayhem With what it like this one the Kung Fu movies were getting all popular like every kid on the street Yeah, yeah, not to make like it here's a deal none checks are only really dangerous. We really know how to use them Yeah, they're more dangerous to yourself Also, you're something head also it's it's hilarious The trucks are only really dangerous if you really know how to use them. They're more dangerous to yourself. Yeah. Also, it's something that you're selling the head. Also, it's hilarious.

Starting point is 00:25:08 You imagine, oh, we should have banned none trucks. That's otherwise that whole thing would have never happened. How great would you see someone try to like hold up a bank or something like that with none? Yeah. Yeah. Just swinging. I don't know about you guys, but just hit a button.

Starting point is 00:25:21 Somebody pulls a none truck, so I'll ask me for my wallet. I'm gonna give it to him just cause it's cool, but I'll show me some shit. Yeah, I'm going to sit there and watch for a minute. You then let him hit me. You deserve you deserve my wallet for that, sir. Anyway, yeah, some guy had him and got busted and some cops took him in. Use that law to is there a lift on Ninja stars, too? I mean, did it, you know, we're looking at yeah, Ninja stars were banned.

Starting point is 00:25:44 I think too, in a lot of know, where are we looking at? Yeah, Ninja Stars were banned, I think too. And a lot of states. Yeah. Which I find hilarious too. Yeah, I told you about growing up, my friend Karate Chris, right? Yeah, actually he was named Karate Chris. He called them Karate Chris.

Starting point is 00:25:55 I mean, he was that kid that would always go up to Chinatown, he'd get like every illegal weapon you could possibly get and bring it back. And we all, you know, in his backyard played with him. Really? Yeah. And just throw him against the fence. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:10 Ninja stars, don't you know, we had like smoke bombs like you name it. What's a ninja star? What's a ninja star? What? You need to leave right now. You're new here? Yeah, I am. A ninja star is a metal. It's a sharp metal. Wait,

Starting point is 00:26:26 listen, you didn't watch teenage mutant Ninja turtles. No, I wish I had one right now. They scared me. They're all slimy. Oh my god. Ninja turtles weren't slimy. What the hell kind of Ninja Turtles you watching? The old the old one with the really, yeah, they're like, right? No, no, no, no, no, like they were you're too young for the original original one. What was the original one? Original ones were. No. Not like they were, You're too young for the original ones. What was the original ones? Original ones were way old.

Starting point is 00:26:48 So that goes all the way back to when I was like a kid. Teenage Mutant Ninja's, yeah. Turtles. Like vanilla ice wasn't it? Did you see vanilla? No. Sit down right there. Go ninja, go ninja, go.

Starting point is 00:26:58 Oh, that's called an injustice. Yeah, and then you can throw it and because it has multiple points, it will stick into your adversary. Perfectly the jugular. Into your ass. Oh, you know what happened to me when I was a kid? My dad found a ninja star at the dump, which by the way, side note, little side,

Starting point is 00:27:14 we'll just go to the left here for a second. You can find all kinds of crazy shit at the dump. Yeah. Do you know what I think my dad brought home from the dump? I don't. I don't. I'm really curious though. A lot of cool things, trust me.

Starting point is 00:27:26 So what, my, I said pretty much my bedroom set. That's how I, that's how I, that's it, my sweater. That's how I got my. My great rug really ties a really good. That's how I got a minibike.

Starting point is 00:27:35 That's where your style comes from. Someone actually dumped a minibike at the fricking dump and my dad got it, brought it home. That's awesome. So he brought home a ninja star once and I thought it was the coolest thing ever because I'm 12, and I was throwing it at the fence, making it get stuck in the fence,

Starting point is 00:27:50 and I threw it, and it went over the fence, and killed the dog. No, it almost hit some kids. It killed the dog. I threw it over the fence, and I'm like, ah, and it ran out there, and these kids were looking at me, and I could tell that I had,

Starting point is 00:28:02 like, kind of went between them. You imagine hitting someone with a ninja star in real life. Yeah, that would hurt. In your defense with a dump, the screw. I tell you a good strategy if you live in a near or in a rich neighborhood.

Starting point is 00:28:13 Once a year, these neighborhoods will have to have in their trash. No, they have this where you can put any size stuff that you want to put out on the front of your house and they'll pick it up. I forget what the name of the day is, but we have all the nice. Did they have the big dumpsters? No, no, no, this is like you put it out on your front.

Starting point is 00:28:34 You could put like, you know, let's say you have an old barbecue, you've got an old washer machine. It's something out. Huge. Yeah, a big piece of furniture or appliance that you want to get rid of that would be a hassle to take the dump. And one time a year, they allow you to put that out in front of your house.

Starting point is 00:28:48 And when you cruise the rich neighborhoods, a lot of people just get rid of their old stuff that they didn't want. And so I had a girlfriend and her dad was like, Mr. Handy guy that always made me fix shit at my house which just drove me crazy. But I remember telling him that I was like, oh, I gotta get a new barbecue.

Starting point is 00:29:04 Yeah, why would you buy a new barbecue? People would get rid of those things all the time. And he one day waited till the insure shit, somebody pushed the barbecue out and it was broken. It didn't work, you know, but there was just a couple of things that need to be fixed on it. And then I had like this, you know, $300 barbecue

Starting point is 00:29:18 that he picked up off of someone's house and fixed like a $20 part on it. That's fun. Yeah, I actually, there was a day like that when I was in Chicago and I was living off campus and I was, you know, at this college and that was the thing was this rich neighborhood they would put out all of their old furniture or whatever and like old is in quotes

Starting point is 00:29:37 because it was like basically like a year old. Yeah, like there's like, yeah. And they got like brand new stuff. And so we would just, we would just drive around with trucks. And just like, like, fuck by it, we were dirt poor. Yeah, we were at college students. And it like seriously outfitted our entire place. It's great stradding.

Starting point is 00:29:55 That's so awesome. Yeah, when I was a kid, the reason why you would pay attention to what things threw away was because that was the only place you would ever find pornography. Yeah, that was old. That was like a find pornography. Yeah, that was old mine. That was gold mine. Yeah, and sometimes people throw away a dirty magazine

Starting point is 00:30:09 and you were like, whoa. Yeah, yeah. I have a question for you guys. Do you guys know what cassava is? Yes. Yeah. Well, I know you know what it is. No.

Starting point is 00:30:19 A mask in these guys. I don't. Oh, that wasn't like a group, anything. I know it, like, probably about as much as she knows Ninja Turtles. Yeah. So, so it's not like an alcoholic drink. No, break down Kassava, Christina, because there's a lot of, well, I'll tell you why in a second. What are you going to break down about it?

Starting point is 00:30:35 It's a root. It's a Kassava flower. Yes. It's a paleostarch. It's a starch that you can, so if you're sensitive to certain types of starches, if you want gluten-free or whatever, there's this company, and I hope I'm pronouncing it right, I got these chips from Thrive Market that are still amazing. The company's Siete, Siete.

Starting point is 00:30:57 They have these nacho cheese chips made with cassava flour, and they're fucking amazing. Oh, that sounds amazing. They're, Doug's gonna pull it up right now. Look up, look up, S-I-E-T-E chips. And so these guys can see what it looks like. Huh, and they're. So it has really good tortillas and chips.

Starting point is 00:31:17 Oh, you can. And then you notch a T. Who does Santa? No, see a T. Yeah, look at that. No, not Santa. So it's not for. Oh, I've seen these.

Starting point is 00:31:24 They're so good. This company is based out of Texas. Yeah, they're in Austin. Yes, when we were out there, I saw all the, all the on it people were repinting this brand. It's there that bomb, huh? They're super good. Don't they come in like this cool box

Starting point is 00:31:40 that you can order them into? I thought I saw somebody showing them on their Instagram. They're rancher like ranch Doritos. Yes, really? Yeah. She's not exaggerating. So tell me what's so much better about it

Starting point is 00:31:50 than they're like ranch Doritos. They're healthy chips. Yeah, they're healthy. So why are they healthier? Look at the ingredients. They're all putting ingredients so you can see. Now why would this be better than having the grain ones? Because grains contain lectins, so fuck up or gut.

Starting point is 00:32:05 There you go. You know why? Look at the ingredients. First ingredient, cassava flour. Look at the oil they use of a cuddled oil. It's not safflower oil or sunflower oil or some other inflammatory oil. So that's our ground chia seed.

Starting point is 00:32:19 Yep, tomato powder, nutritional yeast. Now this one, is that one ranch, Doug? Yes. Okay, no dairy. And look at how little those ingredients, like look how small that list is. Yeah, there's no dairy in them either. Doug, can we, we used to, for Thrive Market,

Starting point is 00:32:33 for the commercials, we used to do a box opening, can we, I, having some good chips around the place? Those, those are the last two seconds. He wants the chip. I do, I, they, I want them to. Well, this is delicious. This is not the first time I've seen these. I've actually seen these pop up with, I mean, with our friends over in Austin, I've seen them wrap in the shit. I do, I want to. I want to. Well, this is delicious. Well, this is not the first time I've seen these. I've actually seen these pop up with all,

Starting point is 00:32:46 I mean, with our friends over in Austin, I've seen them wrapping the shit out of this brand. I didn't know that, of course, Thrive Market's, this one market sells everything. Bro, these bags will literally last two seconds in here with Justin. I promise you. Yeah, you don't want to,

Starting point is 00:32:57 you don't want to, we can, I don't know if there's not you, I want to get my own little locker here. Yeah, really? Yeah, I want to be my own little locker or I can put the stand. We're going to end up getting mice again. Yeah, like in place. You're in mice? Yeah, we did have mice. We did. Yeah, one? Yeah, I want to be my little locker or I could put the stand. We're gonna end up getting mice again. Yeah, we did have mice. We did. One of them crawled up my leg in the bathroom. That's a true story. Yes. It was literally happened.

Starting point is 00:33:13 It was the best thing that's ever happened. Jerry, little Jerry. Yeah. Yeah. Too bad we killed him. He's a friend. So, dude, did you guys know that? Okay, so swearing actually makes you stronger. Just a study. Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. We already found out that you're smarter if you swear. Right.

Starting point is 00:33:31 Because we obviously were onto something, we didn't even realize it. So yeah, there was a study, it's out of the journal of psychology of sports and exercise. And basically, what it said that there was like a 4.6% increase in power during a stationary bicycle test that they were applying with people allowed to swear their way through it basically. Well, you know why I think that would work. You know, it's funny. It's, fuck, and they're producing more power. We got to remember it's not the word that has the power. It's the feeling behind it. And, and cuss words are still taboo enough to, they're so taboo still, they're not as taboo as they used to be.

Starting point is 00:34:09 They're still taboo enough though, that when you say them, there's an emotion or feeling behind it. Well, that's what they relate that it's a different part. It's not the linguistic part. It's more tied to the emotional side of your brain. And so you're accessing that. And so therefore that helps to contribute to more output apparently.

Starting point is 00:34:28 Yep, and I think the more you cuss, or the more a society cuss is, probably the less power it has. Like for example, if you go to Australia, pretty sure that the cussing doesn't give them that much power, because they cuss that crazy. So I'm curious when we're gonna come out, they're gonna come out of this study with,

Starting point is 00:34:42 what is the right dosage? Of cussing? I think it's gotta be more than you used to. You know what I'm saying? No. Look, if you're, let me put this way. I use Australia as an example because they love to cuss. One of the reasons why I love the Australian people.

Starting point is 00:34:56 But for example, they use the word, they say a word that is super taboo here, but they say it over there. Cunt. Yes, they say it there like crazy. Like crazy. I bet you if you measured their brain activity when they said that word versus like a typical American here, it's totally different because for us, when you say that, we're

Starting point is 00:35:13 like even now you just said it. I got a little bit. Yeah. Because it's so, well, I think it's so taboo here. Let me hear you say, Christina. Cut. Oh my God. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:35:23 Oh my God. That's a very hard team. I don't let her speak anymore. Yeah, so way too much I edit that one out. I don't like when people are afraid of words. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but we like you Yeah, that's what that's the only announcement We need to put soap in your mouth You guys ever get soap in your mouth. I did yes, I definitely did know what the worst was though was the liquid soap You guys didn't get that in your mouth? I did. Yes, I definitely did. You know what the worst was though was the liquid soap. Oh my God. You guys didn't get that.

Starting point is 00:35:48 Your mom's fucked up. I mean I straight like flipped her off their face. I deserved it. Oh my God. Oh yeah. Yeah. Wait a minute, you flipped your mom off to her face. Yeah, that's when my dad, you know, he,

Starting point is 00:36:01 I get my figure broke. I got my ass kicked for that one. Let's put it that one. How old were you when you did that? I was, I was like 12, you know, I was like a total like asshole. I can't even, I can't even begin to comprehend. Well, what would happen to me if I flipped my mom off to her face?

Starting point is 00:36:17 There was, there was a learning curve between me and my mom that had to take place and, on whose part? Yeah, both. Because there was, there was a lot of incessant, like you have to do this, have to do this, like on top of me constantly, and I have a breaking point,

Starting point is 00:36:34 and that was one of my breaking points. So you leveled up with the bird, and she leveled up with dish soap, dude. Liquid soap. Liquid soap on my toothbrush. So, what about that? You can't get rid of that. Like I tasted it for like months. Really?

Starting point is 00:36:49 Yeah, hold on a second, hold on. Try and wash it off and you still get remnants of it. Could you imagine if your kid flipped off your wife or you to your face? Oh yeah, no, my dad trust me. Oh it's coming, it's coming, that's it. I know it, that's why I believe there's a Jesus, bro. He makes sure shit like this comes around full circle.

Starting point is 00:37:08 Testosterone is a hell of a hormone. Oh my God, I just got it. I said to my mom, this is exactly what I said. We were fighting, arguing back and forth. First off, I couldn't raise my voice to my mom, but I would still argue. I was an argumentative, yeah, I was like, little shit. So I, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

Starting point is 00:37:26 back and forth, back and forth. And then all I said was, this is all I said. I said, well, that's stupid. I didn't call her stupid. I didn't say you're stupid. I just said, that's stupid. My dad was around the corner of the wall listening the entire time.

Starting point is 00:37:42 And I could, and apparently he was listening and building up the anger. Yeah. Yeah Yeah and he's you know what he did. He slapped you in the back of the head probably. Oh no I got what I got. Oh it was a good time. I got stuff between the bed and the wall. That's what happened to me. It was it was a lot of you know it was a lot of fear stuff so we didn't even get a beating or anything like that. Yeah. But I ended up in between the bed and the wall. I remember I was like this. When my legs up stuck in there I didn't say she was stupid. I just said that was which didn't make it any better. Right. Right. Can imagine

Starting point is 00:38:14 Like liquid soap. No epic. I had a horrible my mom used What was it? What soap was it the The green one Irish spring. I Irish spring. I Respring put that put that in my mouth and then she tied me so I had to hold in my mouth safe guard That was the bar that I saw how funny is that that we were remember the brand. Uh-huh. Oh my god How memorable is that that's what head zest over 30 years ago? Exactly clean. Yeah, you're not fully cleaning unless you'll see sorry I always did you remember the genus that's what you got this open It's what you got liquid soap in your mouth because you fuck your brother Mom probably stuff the bar so they can fun of it. Yeah, she's like no we were he x you know

Starting point is 00:38:50 Intensive knowing Justin. He just take the bar of soap and you didn't That's he's like I like it Wouldn't down it. She's how using Ajax eat this mother He's this you know. Yeah, that's the worst you got I can't if you gave your mom the bird. I think like the worst thing that I did. Kristina, you just an asshole for a period there. You just, No, yeah, I want to know, would you guys, have you ever done that, put soap in your kitchen?

Starting point is 00:39:11 I've never done it. And you know what, I forgot that technique. I did too. I think it's a horrible, no, don't do that. Why is it horrible? That's a horrible technique. Because it's like, you're fucking with their health. Really? I'll get out of here.

Starting point is 00:39:22 Soap is, are you kidding? Kidding, it's fucking dirt. That's good for you, so it's so biotic, it's an bacteria. Kids are out there eating dirt and shit putting whatever in their mouth. I'm not gonna give them antibacterial, trickless and soap. It's gonna be organic.

Starting point is 00:39:38 Yeah, you know he's got hippie soap in his house. It's gonna be soap from Thrive Market. Yeah, that's right. It's a good stuff. Yeah, it just, when I was young, my mom left the Chlorox out and I drink it and then it almost burned myself. Oh my god. Yeah, I know.

Starting point is 00:39:52 And here you are. It's what I'm saying. Kids put way worse shit in their mouth. It's good. That was an accident. You were, you were even tied pods before it was cool. Yeah, true. Friend, setter. Pop and open.

Starting point is 00:40:02 Where are you set of clean in there? Yeah, nice and, you know, I totally forgot that technique. Yeah, my kids have it easy. I gotta reevaluate my approach here. Now, has either one of your kids pushed any sort of crazy boundaries like that? To where you guys came unglued?

Starting point is 00:40:16 Can I tell you something? Kids these days, and for better or worse, they're just, kids are just weak sauce this day. Yeah. And I don't mean it in a bad way. Yeah, I would totally agree with that Dude my my boy now he's 13 now so now it's different, but when he was 10 or maybe maybe nine so nine years old he came home and we were I'm like how school

Starting point is 00:40:38 He's like oh someone at school today, you know said a really bad word and he had this look on his face of like I can't believe I heard this terrible word and yeah and at the time me and my wife were like oh crap like I was like, cool today, you know, said a really bad word. And he had this look on his face of like, I can't believe I heard this terrible word. And at the time, me and my wife were like, oh crap, like, I'm like, can you tell me what the word was? And he's like, no, I can't say it. And I'm like, and so it took me like 10 minutes to get him to tell us that the word started with the letter S.

Starting point is 00:41:00 So I'm like, they must have said shit or something like that. Finally, I got the word out stupid. Someone that's cool said stupid. You know weak sauce that is? When I was nine years old, the words I was saying at that age were horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible stuff. So it's just different, you know? Yeah, it is different. So you need to want the kids to like,

Starting point is 00:41:18 done something that's just crossed the line where you were already thrown through. No, mainly it's just the not listening aspect of it that really gets under my skin, like in terms, especially if it's me or it's Courtney, I'm like, I have to make a point of like, really pruning this right now because it's a cycle that it gets worse and worse to where they just start ignoring and then they do their own thing. And I just, that drives me crazy. My daughter is so headstrong, which I really appreciate. I really, really like that she's headstrong and confident. But let me tell you, the challenges with her.

Starting point is 00:41:56 If I pick a battle, first off, I have to be very careful with the battles that I pick. Because whatever battle I pick, it's going to be a war. And she will dig her heels in, and this is gonna take hours. And so I don't pick very many battles with her because I just don't have the time. I don't have the time to deal with this.

Starting point is 00:42:13 But if I pick a battle, okay, we're gonna be here for a couple hours, and I'm gonna have to gradually ramp up. Yeah, I'm bringing my helmet. And I have to think about the punishments, because whatever I say, I'm probably gonna have to fold. Like, what do you mean? What kind of battle is she bringing to you at that age?

Starting point is 00:42:29 Like, what is she, to where you would actually spend an hour of going back and forth? Like, let's say, let's say I told her to clean a room and she didn't and I say, clean your room and then she doesn't. I have to be careful. Like, if I say, if you don't clean your room in the next five minutes, I'm gonna throw all your toys away. If I say that, I have to do it.

Starting point is 00:42:44 Of course. So I can't say that, I have to do it. Of course. So I can't say that because knowing her, she'll challenge me and she'll be like, fine. And then I'll do it and then she'll cry and then I'll feel terrible. And then where do I go from? There's nowhere to go from there.

Starting point is 00:42:56 It's like when you train it, it's like when you give someone personal training. Isn't that like one of the number one rules as parenting is like, don't make threats that you can't follow through? Yeah, 100%. Like that's like a major. No, it's all calculated and your response

Starting point is 00:43:10 is all calculated too. Like you don't lose your shit. Like that's the first rule. Don't lose your shit. You know, really take yourself out and then assess it and then get to a calm state, re-approach it, and then then you have a plan. Like, I can't react.

Starting point is 00:43:26 Like, I've taught myself to not react right away when I see something I'm like, oh my God. You know, it'll be like a hundred times worse if I do it that way than to pull myself out, come back. Oh, you know what? It's all right to change subjects on you, but you just reminded me some of this whole, like rebellious type of talk we have right now.

Starting point is 00:43:46 The app tip TikTok. Yeah. And would you think of that video? Fascinating. So TikTok, I asked you if it was publicly traded. Is this new app that I just learned about yesterday because I remember who sent it. Yeah, how do you send it to me? Is it? It's pretty new. I asked Enzo about it and Enzo was like, yeah, all the kids are using it. And it's this app that it's kind of like Vine. I asked my son, I said, do you know what TikTok is? And he said, oh, it's like Vine. And they post 15 second videos.

Starting point is 00:44:14 And the reason why it's making the news is because this generation Z is posting stuff that is very, see, opposite of what the millennials are posting. The millennial generation is the pushing the cry closets and the oversupply of everything. They're pushing those boundaries. Like there's videos like a black guy out there

Starting point is 00:44:34 like picking cotton in the grass. Oh, terrible. And he did it himself. Yeah, yeah, no, the people are itself defecating humor. That's what it is. But they're doing shit that's very controversial. Yeah, very controversial. But they think it's funny. Right. Crossing all the inevitable rebellion. No, that's very controversial. Yeah, very controversial. But they think it's funny, crossing all the inevitable rebellion.

Starting point is 00:44:47 No, that's what this video is, this video that South sent to us that I thought was very compelling is he's right. And kids inherently have this rebellious side to them. And no matter whether it's, we have a cultural wave that's happening right now that's pro one where the generation coming up is gonna be anti that no matter what.

Starting point is 00:45:06 So it's natural, which is what I always say, I don't stress out because I really believe that this is what happens. We swing the pendulum one way. I always have to happen. And then we naturally, I am. And ironic about it is like this whole movement to liberate except ever like have created

Starting point is 00:45:21 so many more rules for everybody to abide by. And of course people are gonna rebel. You know, you can't just like demand that from everybody to act like exactly the same way. They'll rebel against whatever their parents think it's cool or tell them to do like that. I guarantee you marijuana use will go down in kids. As it becomes legal.

Starting point is 00:45:42 Totally will. It's cool. It's cool right now. It's exploding. Everyone's getting on it now. After, after, You're gonna like, give it five, 10 years and then it'll be,

Starting point is 00:45:51 it'll be, you know, Oh, my dad does that. Oh, yeah, yeah, totally lame. And, you know, sex is another one, you know, it's like,

Starting point is 00:45:58 this whole like everybody have sex and kids now are like, yeah, I think I'll wait. That's already happening. I mean, that would, they talk about that in the I-Gen book. Like, this, the generation underneath us, like, Mill, I think I'll wait. That's already happening. I mean, that would they talk about on the I-Gen book. Like, the generation underneath us, like Millennial Generation became so promiscuous

Starting point is 00:46:09 that the generation coming up, and it's so easy to find someone to fuck. Funny fish, you know, saying tender. I mean, it really is. In our generation, that sounds like the ads you get on the, you know, the... Adam's so strong right now. Find somebody to find it.

Starting point is 00:46:22 It was like a lot of work as a kid to find someone to hook up with. I mean, you might go to four bars at night and strike out completely because you don't find the right person that even likes you. Where, man, you could sit on your couch and line it up before you even go out

Starting point is 00:46:35 and then you're lined up for your night. So it's become so easy that it's not cool anymore. Now it's not cool to hook up because it takes more self-discipline to say no. So when I asked Enzo about the Enzo said and I said, dude, I said this article is saying that there's this like this wave of rebellious kids and the way the rebelling is they're going opposite direction of millennials and they're saying super controversial shit, whether it be sexist, racist, whatever, they're joking about it and laughing. And this is everybody that's on this. And you know what he told me?

Starting point is 00:47:07 He said that there's this wave of young conservatives that's starting to grow. All these kids are like, I'm a conservative type of deal, which was never cool. I want to circle back to the debate you and I had almost a hundred something episodes ago. Episodes go when you told me to watch that Netflix thing where the kids are fucking everybody.

Starting point is 00:47:26 And I said, and you're like, man, I'm really worried about this culture. And I'm like, dude, exactly what's going to happen. It's going to become not cool to do that. And this is exactly what we're seeing now is the opposite. It's not going to be cool to fuck everybody because it is so easy to do that. So I never worry. It's amazing how we are, how we are as humans and as a society as a whole. And now that we're even more connected, what we're seeing is the swings are faster now. Yeah. In the past, it would be like,

Starting point is 00:47:54 and we used cigarettes as an easy example of how cigarettes came on the scene, how long of a swing the pendulum, and then it came back. We're now when we see crazy shit, it may be a sharp swing and everyone's like, ah, freak out, I can't believe we're doing this, but then it comes right back really quick.

Starting point is 00:48:08 Because movements happen so fast. Yeah, because how quickly can connect with each other. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if these swings happen. But one thing that's very predictable is kids are rebellious and they'll rebel against it. It reminds me of I had friends, I had some people that I trained a long time ago, became good friends with them.

Starting point is 00:48:28 And these were, they were a couple, they were super hippie, super free love, super like, you know, like extreme in that direction. And their daughter became this hardcore, like Christian conservative person. Obviously, rebelling against her parents. You know what I'm saying? And that's the predictable thing about kids.

Starting point is 00:48:50 So maybe we should change our approach at home. Yeah, I think about that all the time. Start acting like an asshole. Whatever they're into, I'm just gonna get into it like a hundred percent. Yeah, if it's something that you don't want them to get into. Yeah, you know what I mean? Exactly.

It's the motherfucking f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing f*** claim the winner is the fittest on earth, who is right? I think they're both wrong. Yeah. Yeah. That's, you know what that reminds me of? It's like when you see a coffee shop in the science

Starting point is 00:49:51 that says best coffee in the world. Yeah. It's the same thing. Yeah. 100%. How the hell did you get that kind of the best coffee that we've ever had? No, we just gave it to ourselves.

Starting point is 00:49:59 Yeah. I think they say this because they incorporate a lot of different attributes of fitness. So like CrossFit, you get stamina, you get endurance, you get strength, you get mobility. If you compete and you're good at it, Spartan, same thing, you know, strength, stability, you know, stamina, all that stuff. Yeah, endurance. Now, to be, and I think like Adam's right, right, I don't think anybody, I mean, how

Starting point is 00:50:23 do you, the fittest has to be context, like fittest for what? Yeah, right. You know what I'm saying? Like the fittest Spartan racer is the fittest Spartan racer for Spartan type races. There's clear lines between the two. Like if you were to ask me

Starting point is 00:50:35 who would be better at a marathon run? Uh, those two, well, the Spartan racer would be who would be better at deadlifting? Well, the cross fitter would be. It would be whatever adaptations, those guys are chasing when they're prepping for either one of these sports. better at deadlifting. Well, the CrossFitr would be, it'd be whatever adaptations, those guys are chasing when they're prepping for either one of these sports. Okay, I'll set up some context. Okay. It's the apocalypse.

Starting point is 00:50:54 Oh, okay. zombie apocalypse. You need to survive. Who is more likely? Like Spartan. So, so saying. Yeah, that's what I would say. Because a Spartan racer can climb shit, they can do. Well, here's where I would say because a Spartan racer can climb shit. They can do. Get away. Well, here's where here's where I'll challenge that. The crossfitters got a bunch more muscle mass on them. So they have a plenty more stored energy. Whoa, whoa, whoa. A bunch more muscle mass.

Starting point is 00:51:14 Well, yeah, yeah, crossfitters have a lot more muscle mass than a fucking tough mutter. Really? Yes. Yeah, I don't know. Let's get the more steroids Spartans. But yeah, exactly. Yeah, right. I'm sure it's creeping into there too. Spartans, yeah, exactly. Yeah, right.

Starting point is 00:51:25 I'm sure it's creeping into there too. Spartan racers in tough mutters. Well, I'll take that back because of the, look at Ben Greenfield. The lifts that they do. Ben's a good friend of them. They're lifting, but the wind blows in a noximal. No, he's like a Bucco 5.

Starting point is 00:51:39 Just doing it really fast. Listen, listen, let me explain. Listen, Linda. Listen, listen, listen, listen, Linda. Having a lot of muscle is not beneficial in a survival situation. really fast. Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen,

Starting point is 00:51:48 listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen,

Starting point is 00:51:56 listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen I'll take that. It's like, what is it, 36 days later, whatever those crazy ass zombies that are sprinting at you, you know, you wanna get the hell out of there. Yeah, I mean, if we're in one of those movies, right? And I had to pick who I want by my side,

Starting point is 00:52:14 a cross-fitter or a tough-mider guy. I don't know, I kind of want the cross-fitter guy. Now, which one, how about the, you ever seen in Throws-Off Ball? Who? Yeah, they can. You know, might need to throw some dynamite or something crazy. Just saying like, throw some, just randomly, circle, nade.

Starting point is 00:52:32 Who would you, okay, how about this? I already know who. Yeah, but the, throwing spears. Yeah, I challenge that. Yeah, that's more, you do throw spear in that. Okay, which, which set of skills has more utility? Spartan. Spartan.

Starting point is 00:52:47 Spartan for sure. Like you're gonna. That's not true. Way more utility. You climb, okay, CrossFit climbs ropes. They throw soft balls. They walk on their hands. You never know we might have to do that.

Starting point is 00:52:59 You're right. Yeah, that could come in handy. Right. You do something. Okay, if a boulder falls on you, you want the CrossFit or with you. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I don't have a power lifter. Okay, if a boulder falls on you, you want the cross-fitter with you. Right. Yeah, I don't have a powerlifter. Boulder, if a boulder fell on me.

Starting point is 00:53:09 Right, but I mean, are there? What between that and the Spartan Racer? Cross-fitter. I don't have to look like a champion cross-fitter too, because maybe because they're on the roads, I don't know, but they look more body-builder-ish. So that's more of a look that I would want than the Spartan type of look.

Starting point is 00:53:24 I mean, here's the thing, they're really both good at doing what if there was a hard shit Yeah, they are what if it was a what if there was a war about this a war of an army of crossfitters versus versus an army of Spartan Crossfitters open their ass. No way no they're they're big targets correct. Yeah, dude. There's no bro big Look at the top. Imagine them both charging at each other. Yeah, they were like stabbing each other with like, yeah, and I was just, look at the Christmas.

Starting point is 00:53:53 Imagine a hundred crossfitters running at a hundred Spartan racers. What happens when they collide in the middle? War is a game of attrition. Spartan, they got like archers until they started from the, you know, from distance. Listen, let me, okay, look at the top warriors in an hour military. It's getting crazy, yeah. Look at the top warriors in our military.

Starting point is 00:54:13 Have you ever met Navy SEALs like in range? They look like crossfitters. No, they don't, they look more like Spartan racers. They don't? Bro, the average Navy SEALs like 5, 9, 5, 10, literally, they're not massive. They're are 165 though they're not fucking 125 a Spartan racer's not 125 a 5 foot 6 Spartan racer is fucking 125 9 510 maybe that can look up the average look up champion Spartan racer

Starting point is 00:54:39 and then look up champion crossfitters and let's look at them next to each other there you go well what do you define as fitness though, because asking who's the fittest, so then what does that mean? Well, that's context matters. Yeah, we have a different, I think, definition. Yeah, what they would say. For me, fitness personally means being healthy, having longevity, and being able to be strong enough

Starting point is 00:54:59 and fit enough to do the things I wanna do. If I could pick between having CrossFit fitness and Spartan kid. I'd want to be the King of Spartan. Look at him. Put that kid next to the King of CrossFit. Look at that guy. He doesn't eat two meals. He's fucked. Two meals, bro. He's fucked. He looks like a Navy SEAL. Those guys, all those Spartan racers. One guy, those aren't even the best. Go to the top where you were, Doug. Said the King of Spartan. All the guy that he's not those aren't even the best go to the top where you were dug said the king of the king of Spartan All the way top

Starting point is 00:55:27 Yeah, right there top right king the king of Spartan put the king of Spartan next to the king of Crossfit Yeah, and then and then look up king across and then look up Navy seal No look at king of Crossfit and see who but they look like more look at they get swim Don't they have to swim in Spartan champion Crossfit Champion. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, look at that. They look like fucking bodybuilders. Yeah. I mean, it's cool. I'd rather look like that to be quite honest with them. No, the dude right there, that looks like a Navy SEAL, bro.

Starting point is 00:55:51 Rich Froning looks like a Navy SEAL. No, he's way too big. Well, a Navy SEAL on steroids. That's what he looks like. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. You're right. Do you think that steroid use is more prevalent in CrossFit?

Starting point is 00:56:01 I do, I do now. Yeah. After talking to Romano. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I, I, I. I do now. Yeah. After talking to Romano. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I speculated on that, but here in him talk about it and the conversations we add off air, I'm like, oh Jesus, it's way more than I thought. Yeah. There's more of an endurance component for sure.

Starting point is 00:56:18 Look at those seals. Just to recover it makes sense for me. They look at Crossfiters. They do not look like Spartan Rates. They don't look jacked, bro. They don't look jacked at all. They don't look jacked at all. They look lean and functional. Because you've got to be able to last.

Starting point is 00:56:29 Justin, we need you for the killing machines. They're the killing machines. Well, I'm a skill guy, so I'm trying to decipher which one provides the more unique skill set that I'm looking for. Because Crossfit, for me, is just this like muddied hot mess of, you know, attempts at different skills,

Starting point is 00:56:47 but just like, you know, speed their way through it all and find a cheat code there. Listen, if I'm drafting one of them to be a seal buddy of my mind, but I gotta pick physicality, I think you're right, they have that advantage. Whereas in terms of like, if I'm gonna go for somebody that I wanna survive and make a camp and go the long haul with, I'm going with the Spartan race.

Starting point is 00:57:11 That's right, and so that's, it's a war as a treasure. You know, I'm kind of conflicted, I'll be honest. Yeah, it's hard, he's in a conundrum because usually he always agrees with you. But he also hates talking about, I take your side quite a bit, man. And then he gives me shit. That's really the truth.

Starting point is 00:57:27 And I get in your line, then. You give me shit. Lock out of my really light. I get on board with you here, but you're fucking backing Crossfit, right? Exactly. That's my real connection. There's real light.

Starting point is 00:57:35 I can't really give them any light that's that shiny. Yeah, it reminds me of like, how funny was it when we get, when we're traveling? And we're getting lined to get, you know, to put your shoes on the thing and go through the metal detector and and there's Adam will pick one line and I'll purposely pick the other line and then just it's always like I'm in this awkward shuffle. You know, you know if we were to actually say the fittest on earth I and if if fit it if fittest encompasses health

Starting point is 00:58:02 Then I could argue that the two of them, neither one of them follow that. Two extreme. Yeah, because if you're a champion crossfitter or a champion's partner, or the level of extreme training that you're going through in order to be a champion in that sport is gotta be unhealthy for anybody. Yeah. The wear and tear on the joints, the constant repetition,

Starting point is 00:58:20 the pounding of the body, the stress that you're putting on yourself. Extreme performance does not equal extreme longevity. Yeah, fitness, repetition, the pounding of the body, the stress that you're putting on yourself. Extreme performance does not equal extreme longevity. Yeah, fitness, if you, if we're using fitness and we're trying to say that like as in fitness and health, then I would argue that neither one of them know the healthiest person is going to be someone that does a little of everything. They know when to press and stress their body and they also know when to pull back and

Starting point is 00:58:44 relax their body and they also know when to pull back and relax their body and it's not the extreme athlete. Extreme athletes are healthier than the average, you know, fat unhealthy American, but they're not healthier than somebody who takes a health approach with fitness. Yeah, they should have called it like the most resilient to like gauntlets or something.

Starting point is 00:59:01 Yeah, some stupid. The one that can take the most punishment. Yeah, the most punishment taker. Or what we think is gonna be around longer. Isn't that like a standard fitness test? Like they used to do like NP or something. Yeah, the presidential fitness, we used to get presidential fitness awards.

Starting point is 00:59:16 Did you guys get those by the way? Yeah, totally. I got the, I got, so what you used to do is you used to have to do pull ups. I got to pull up one. Yeah. I did well. I did really well as a kid.

Starting point is 00:59:24 You didn't get the general one? Was dips, part of it. I know that there was like the mile run, which I did well in that, but I'm trying to remember if there's dips or if that was just with the school specifically, because I broke a record at the school for dips. No, I don't think that was in the national one.

Starting point is 00:59:37 Well, this should have been. This should have been. Did you, I would have killed it. You didn't get the national? No, so the way they broke it up at my school, so this was when I was in seventh grade, you had all the things you had to do to sit and reach, the pull-ups, I think push-ups,

Starting point is 00:59:50 they're on the mile, I don't remember all of them, but I remember I did really good, I did better than anybody in my class for the pull-ups, but that was it, I didn't beat everybody else on everything else, so I didn't get like some big work. But there were standards you had to meet to get presidential. Do you remember which ones you missed? I don't think I missed anything. I think I think I I passed all the

Starting point is 01:00:08 Yeah, I made the pros and the pros and I got the we didn't get I don't remember getting it like a no war Maybe a certificate like 10 maybe I got a certificate. Yeah, I know I did like 15 I did like 10 crushed everybody you did at 16 That's funny. Don't ever remember that. It's weird. Actually, either one, two, three, four. Yeah. I had one more than that. All right, next question. All right, next question is from Mallory Galazuski.

Starting point is 01:00:33 What are some killer snowboard prep exercises? Great question. I put this up here because Taylor actually was, it's been hounding me for this because he's gonna ride on New Year's, right? Is this mean he's gonna listen to the show now and listen to the answer? Yeah, no, I don't know. I'm gonna make him know.

Starting point is 01:00:47 I'm gonna be like, I told your answer on the podcast, you have to find it. So there's a lot of different things you do. There's two things that I always do. And then this has just been kind of staple. I've been snowboarding for, uh, I've been priming those hips. Right. I've been, yeah, I've been snow boarding for as long as I have been lifting weights. So when I was lifting weights, I remember the first couple

Starting point is 01:01:08 seasons, I never did anything to try and prep myself. And then later down the road, as I became more educated in the field, I learned, okay, there's some things I should do. The hips, what you pointed out, Justin, wasn't something that I addressed until I got older. The two exercises that I love to do are tempo squats with an elevated heel. So I'll get like the half foam roll and I'll elevate my heels really high on the, on the

Starting point is 01:01:34 half foam roll. And then I will do really slow light. I don't need heavy weight. In fact, tempo and slowing, slowing it down is more important than pressing a bunch of weight because I'm trying to mirror the similar type of intensity that I would going down the mountain. When you're on, when you're snowboarding down the mountain, you're on the balls of your feet a lot. You're on the balls of your feet as you're cutting, carving back and forth and your quads just are on fire and that's where your people are typically sore. So that, I love ice skaters for this. So talk about a move that I normally don't program into somebody's program,

Starting point is 01:02:10 where I do see some validity to it. This is an area where I would do ice skaters. And then 90, 90, like doing the hip mobility work, like you were saying, Justin, those are kind of my three go to exercises or movements to include. If I know I'm getting ready to go on the mountain and I just rode for the first time in over over two years because I didn't ride last year because of the Achilles and had a great ride and my I was teasing my nephew who's only 22 years old and he was like, oh, I'm so

Starting point is 01:02:40 sore. You're going to be so sore old man. And I was like, I was fine, bro. I was totally fine. I primed. I did all those, I did those movements. You're gonna be so sore old man. And I was like, I was fine, bro. I was totally fine. I primed, I did all those movements leading up to the week before I went and rode and then get sore at all. You know, when you look at skiing versus snowboarding, it's instinctual to think that the things you should prepare

Starting point is 01:02:58 for are the same, but they're actually quite different. Skying is a little bit different because your foot is locked with this long ski, which now lengthens the lever that your foot would be. Now, why is that important? It creates a lot of potential torque and twisting torque on your legs. If your hips have poor internal or external mobility and strength, then you get a lot of knee injuries. You see that in skiing.

Starting point is 01:03:25 Snowboarding is a little different because both feet are attached to the board. So they kind of protect each other a little bit, right? So you don't get the knee injuries as much. Believe it or not, you know what the most common injury in snowboarding is? The wrist. The wrist.

Starting point is 01:03:37 So it's important for injury prevention to tailbone too. I mean, it's one or the other, typically, especially if you're first starting out with snowboarding, where you're gonna get a really sore butt because you're constantly falling back. And then it's either your wrist is going to help kind of absorb a lot of the impact or it's going to be your butt. And it's like one of the two. Otherwise, it's, you know, worse, which is like your head or something like that, which

Starting point is 01:04:00 is going to be a nightmare. But yeah, that's definitely something to account for. No, that's a fixed position. That's a really good point if you're, because a lot of people are like, oh, I got a strength in, you know, make sure I prevent knee injuries, because they're thinking skiing,

Starting point is 01:04:13 it's different with snowboarding, right? Because you're locked in, both legs are on the board. Well, what you bring up a really good point, and the way my mind is working right now is I'm a snowboarder who's been riding for a long time. I don't fall down, and so I'm not even, I'm not even taking into consideration how I would prep a brand new snowboarder who's been riding for a long time. I don't fall down. And so I'm not even taking into consideration how I would prep a brand new snowboarder versus someone.

Starting point is 01:04:29 Me, I'm thinking I'm gonna be riding down the hill, non-stop. Performance. Yeah, performance. My quads are gonna be on fire. I wanna make sure that I'm mobile. I wanna make sure that I'm strong. And now when you're cutting back and forth on a snowboard,

Starting point is 01:04:40 and by the way, I'm speaking from a completely inexperienced position, I'm not a snowboard. I've just seen it, so I'm breaking it down from what I see. When you're cutting back and forth, are you moving from toes to heels to move back and forth to cut? Yeah. So that's a lot of ankle strength, I would assume. Which is why I also like the elevated heels when you're doing that, or tippy toe squats.

Starting point is 01:05:01 Tippy toe squats. Now, what about the tippy-yallis? I would imagine that your tippy, because most of us never train our tippy-yellis muscle, and I would imagine that that would get fatigued. Like combat stretch. Yeah, trying to cut back, right? That would be a good one to happen. Does that happen often?

Starting point is 01:05:14 Yeah, you're a little more heel-side than you would be toe-side. It's more common to dig heels in than you were to dig your toes. Although you're pulling up like this, you're gonna be using the TBIOS quite a bit. Yeah, it's less of pulling up as much as it is as leaning back. So you're leaning more back on it. But ankle mobility, absolutely. Like, I mean, when I primed before,

Starting point is 01:05:34 I did all my basic priming that I would do just to do my exercises. That's the irony in it, right? It's not that different. Combat stretch is what I did. 90, 90 work is what I prime before I left. And then the training that I was talking about, that's the only real difference that I changed up.

Starting point is 01:05:51 And for me, I was thinking more performance. I wasn't thinking of what things I would do to combat the beginner snowboarder who's probably going to fall on their tailbone. And can you write, wrist, or really common? People don't have the wrist bone. Yeah, and the only thing I would add in terms of something for anti-rotation, with some kind of like a lateral pole where I'm not allowing my hips to basically move

Starting point is 01:06:16 and rotate at all, so that way I'm getting more of that control over these rotational forces, because like a lot of times where people get into trouble is when things get away from them and certain movements cause your upper body to turn one way, your lower body to turn the other. So just to be able to stabilize quickly and really have control over that would be huge.

Starting point is 01:06:40 And there's a lot of lateral stability. I would imagine that you need, right? Because you're facing, you're going down a hill. That's why I like sideway. The ice skaters are like a go-to for me. I mean imagine that you need, right? Because you're facing, you're going down a hill. That's why I like sideway. The ice skaters are like a go-to for me. I mean, that's the only time I really use them. There's no other application for me really. For me to be real comfortable with that.

Starting point is 01:06:54 Yeah, ice skaters in my normal routine is kind of like, whatever. It's not something that I think it's a stable move. But if I know I'm gonna be snowboarding, absolutely training up into that, I'll just me perfecting that move, leading up into snowboarding, makes a world of a difference. So I would imagine then, especially for a beginner,

Starting point is 01:07:12 you probably want to do stabilization lateral exercises like a side plank to create strength and stability in the lateral plane. And also, you said ice skaters. What about a cosec squat? Cost of squat. A cosec squat. Wouldn't that be also, you know, good for something like that? And then lots of core of course core strength. I hate saying that because it's such a Yeah, you core you need a lot of core strength to do this like everybody says that about every activity Yeah, so yeah, it's almost like a tube walking, but basically you have a band instead and you're holding it out and

Starting point is 01:07:44 Well, no, we did a we did a great basically you have a band instead and you're holding it out in front. No, we did a great YouTube on that long time. We did a good search, mind pump, anti-rotational. So we did an anti-rotational series that all those movements would be great. It's what Justin, we're alluding to right now, is your arms are extended, you're holding on to a band. So you have a band distraction while you're doing a lunge, which which would be great. I mean, that's, would be a great, there's, so there's a lot of creative things you do that. I mean, for me, keeping it very simple by keeping the joints mobile and priming them correctly, and then just to be able to increase the stamina that I'm going to be on the balls of my

Starting point is 01:08:18 feet by doing these really slow tempo squats with my heels elevating. How long do you prime before you go snowboarding? Before, right before I get on the mountain. Yeah. Well, the 90, 90, I had to do before I left the house, right? So I'm not gonna get down on the snow and the concrete, you know, wet and stuff like that to do the 90, but I did my combats in the parking lot.

Starting point is 01:08:39 So I did like a combat stretch in the parking lot like when I was there. Now, did you feel like you were, because I know when I prime versus when I don't prime and I work out, I'm in the zone lot like when I was there. Now, did you feel like you were, because I know when I prime versus when I don't prime and I work out, I'm in the zone right away when I prime. When I don't, it's like I gotta do three or four warm upsets. Did you feel like that with the priming where you were able to get into it?

Starting point is 01:08:55 You know, that's a really good question. I don't know if I felt that from that. That's hard, it's hard to tease that out and say that so much skill. Yeah Well, yeah, and not to mention for me. I've been riding for so long It's like riding a bike like dude does somebody prime their body then get on a bicycle and then go like wow This bike ride is fucking way easier. It's like snowboarding is way easy for me. It's not I've been doing it for so many years That I'm as comfortable and locked into this board as I am walking down the street.

Starting point is 01:09:27 You're right. Body that neural pathway, like that's what the priming process is. You've already done that for many years. Right. It's not like, yeah, that's going to aid in like sometimes when you're at that level where it just comes automatically, I would assume that you know, you know what I noticed and I piece this together. I don't know how long after high school that I was know what I noticed, and I piece this together,

Starting point is 01:09:45 I don't know how long after high school that I was riding when I started riding with headphones in. Man, when I listened to music, and this is why I like to ride by myself, you know, last time I rode, I went up there all by myself, I'll put my music in and I get into flow state, and that's where I really noticed my movement.

Starting point is 01:10:01 It's, my movement gets better from the mental focus and the flow state than the priming and everything else that I do. Well from the mental focus and the flow state than the priming and everything else that I do. Well, the priming gets the muscles ready, but there's so much skill involved with that activity. You have to be in that head space. Didn't you say you used brain FM? Yeah, I used to use brain FM.

Starting point is 01:10:16 When we first started to do stuff with brain FM, one of the first things that I applied it to was snowboarding. And I was like, fuck, this is crazy. I mean, I know it's a bigboarding. And I was like, this is crazy. I mean, I know it's a big difference. Oh, that's right. Yeah, it was cool. You can get it though from music too. So the similar to the effects, not as climbing brain FM

Starting point is 01:10:34 is like scientifically produced for that. So obviously it enhanced it that much more. But music gives me a similar feeling. If I get into, like I have like a snowboard list, that's different than my workout list and things, and it's a much more calming type of music than it is intense. I'm not listening to, you know, fucking

Starting point is 01:10:56 mortal combat, Metallica on the way down. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Yeah, it's much more for you than lost or completely We'll come back bring it girl. Yeah, all right next question is from the lab strength Hypothetically if you were stuck in a gas station for a week and there was nothing else around what would you do or eat to stay healthy? Twinkies. Yeah, I'm the way Nice question. Yeah. I would fast for most of that. Be sure. Gas dishes aren't that bad. No, it is. Well, you know what? Depending where you are, that do not eat sushi. Oh, so I say that somebody. No, my wife's one of her friends that works with her,

Starting point is 01:11:40 came into work and was just just looked pale and green and just awful, right? And she sushi at a gas station. came into work and was just just looked pale and green and just awful right and she she had a gash she's done it a few times and like told everybody like I just had this sushi that I mean it's weird like I don't know it's wrong she had like the worst food poisoning ever like it knocked her out for like a week after that and I'm like hello sushi and a gas station like you don't see any red flags you deserve to get said so Yeah, so much. So gross. What are your guys' go-to foods at the gas station?

Starting point is 01:12:07 Beef jerky. You always get jerky. I did. Beef jerky is like a go-to. Because every gas station has beef jerky. You can count on beef jerky and cigarettes there, for sure. Those are two things that every gas station 100% has.

Starting point is 01:12:21 That'll keep you alive. Right. I'm a cashews, I'll always, because you know when we do our road trips, I always, you guys know that, I always go? I like I'm a cashews always because you know we do our road trips I always you guys know that I was it going there and end up buying cashews and if I'm gonna get anything else it might be it might be jerky depends on the kind of jerky not all beef jerky It's not all created equal some of the jerky and there's like like slim Jim. That's not really the same thing Yeah, I just processed meat. It's just like condensed in a tube

Starting point is 01:12:42 Yeah, I and then they have bars now and but bars again are usually great. I'm surprised that the last couple of gas stations I went into had kombucha. The gas station, which I think is insane. That is interesting. That was pretty hilarious. But what else is good in the gas station? There's not much. Yeah, I mean, jerky nuts. There's gotta be some cheese. So, I'm gonna say can fish fruit. They have fruit in a lot of gas station. They do actually, they do.

Starting point is 01:13:12 Dried fruit, you can get dried fruit. Is the longest thing? No, as long as they get candy bar. As long as it's not sprinkled with all kinds of sugar. If you get dried fruit, that's the thing. Gonna be here a while, get a Snickers, Funnyans. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:13:23 All right, well, how about this? What's your favorite worst like bad food from the gas station? Oh, so you know, whenever you've got, when I used to get high, sometimes like, you would go to the gas station, right? And there was these orange cupcakes from Hostess. Ew.

Starting point is 01:13:44 It sounds disgusting, but it was the most magical thing I've ever had. Oh my God. Orange Cucumber. That hurts my stomach just a lot. Yeah, it was. I could never do that again. Wait, they're yellow or orange?

Starting point is 01:13:54 They're like yellow. What the, yeah, like a orange frosting. Did it have the white cream in the middle? But did it have the disgusting again? It's disgusting. Did it have the color? Yeah, it's got the little, I love those. Yeah, are they called zingers?

Starting point is 01:14:08 Yeah, well, there are zingers that are like it too, but I love zingers. The hostess version. I was going all in, I'm going in with a cancer coke, funnions, and miconikes. Miconikes. I'm all in. I'm all in on that, we don't need to survive.

Starting point is 01:14:22 There it is. There it is. Orange cupcakes. Yeah, they're actually really to survive. There it is. There it is. Orange cupcakes. Yeah, they're actually really, so. Did it taste like orange? It's like a citrusy, yeah, kind of. When I was 15 years old, I went on this mission to bulk. I'm like, I'm gonna gain mass at all costs.

Starting point is 01:14:41 And what I did was as I bought, I went to the grocery store, because I've been working since I was like 13 half 14 Went to the grocery store rode my bike there and bought Boxes of these cupcakes and zingers and I bought the oh the little pies. Yes. I know the home run pies home run pies They're super cheap for for a dollar. Yep, and I want you didn't eat those and they have fruit and I bought I bought a bunch of five I bought a bunch of whole milk. And what I would do in the morning is I'd wake up

Starting point is 01:15:09 before school, I'd wake up a little early, and I'd pound 500 or 600 calories worth of these cupcakes, and then on the way to school, I would chug a half a quart of whole milk because I did the math on the couch. You were so healthy. Did it work? I gained weight and developed a dairy intolerance. That's the bonus.

Starting point is 01:15:28 Super successful. That's exactly, you know why? I know that's how I caused myself to have a dairy intolerance Christina because I started out with regular milk and I did that until I got diarrhea. Okay, you guys have heard of big gulps, right? Seven, eleven.

Starting point is 01:15:40 Yeah. I didn't know there was such a thing as double gulps, but my brother used to drink double gulps of cherry coke Oh, do you remember that picture I took it was like this big when we first started mine pump I took it. There's a picture. I think way back on my it was like a gallon. Yes I forget what they call it's like a super duper gulp. Yeah, it was along those lines Yeah, I think it's like two liters. It's a it's a two-liter mug. Oh, yeah, that's the handle. Yes. Yeah, I think it's like two liters. It's a two liter mug. Oh, yeah, the handle. Yes.

Starting point is 01:16:06 Yeah, I know exactly. That's fucking insane. That's not brother. Put that down like drinking a liter of Coke. I'm surprised he hasn't had diabetes. That's a construction thing. That's like you get you early in the morning, you pick up. Those guys eat so terribly.

Starting point is 01:16:17 Oh, yeah. And that's why you still see construction workers that are overweight. You think how can you be overweight? You're freaking swinging a hammer all day long. Right. It start off with donuts and then you drink, you be overweight you're freaking swinging a hammer all day long. Right. It's start off with donuts and then you drink you know 94 ounces of powdered donuts. All day. And then you

Starting point is 01:16:29 see that when I work construction. Yeah. And then lunch is fast food. Yeah. Or the taco truck. Always. Always. The dashboard burrito. You guys ever do that? No, what's that? So you take one of those frozen burritos? Look at that dude, 128 ounces. Team goal. Team goal, like the whole team, but it's just you. Yes. What's the dashboard burrito? I wanna hear about this. So you take, it's like a bean burrito that has cheese and beans, obviously.

Starting point is 01:16:55 And what you do is you take the frozen one, you put it on your dashboard, if you truck, and then you work, you know, half the day, and by then the sun cooks it to a perfect temperature at lunchtime and you eat it. Wow, very scientific. Look at science. You know what else I used to get?

Starting point is 01:17:12 Construction workers know what I'm talking about. You know what else I used to get at the gas station that I never really got anywhere else for whatever reason, it's special to the gas station, and it's the worst grossest candy of all time, but I don't know, I liked it. Circus peanuts. Oh yeah. It's the big grossest candy of all time, but I don't know, I liked it. Circus peanuts. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 01:17:25 It's the big kind of orange, like, little light, little, foamy thing. Yeah, it's like a big spongy piece of sugar, and it's not a peanut. There's no nut or lagoona. It kind of reminds you of like insulation. A little bit.

Starting point is 01:17:39 Pull up circus peanuts, Doug, so we could show, see right there. It's like a, it's like a, I don't know how to explain it. Be careful how you word it. Interesting. Yeah, it's like a, those are disgusting. They're, it's like a marshmallow. Those are disgusting.

Starting point is 01:17:52 They look gross. They are disgusting. It reminds me of like packing those, packing insulation. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's what it looks like. Love circus peanuts. I see over this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, yeah, slurpees are good.

Starting point is 01:18:04 They have such a weird texture to them. I love, that's why I love about them. I see over this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this 40 years that nobody wants. That's the worst original. Yeah. Which I like those better. You break your teeth on those two things. Dude, I like butterscotch discs too. That's my other favorite. No, no, I can get down with that jam, but those are awful. You can't, you can't open a bag and throw on the ground and hope that rats would eat it. They wouldn't even touch it.

Starting point is 01:18:38 I used to crush those. Do you guys remember those candies that you would see at old people's houses and they were in a, they were usually like in a Brothers no they were in like a hard candy. They were hard candies, but they were all different seas No, they weren't seas they were hard candies They were all different and some of them were like multi-colored Strawberry wrapping one they didn't have no wrapping though so that if you left them long enough you tried to lift one the whole thing would come out

Starting point is 01:19:02 Do you know what I'm talking about? Oh? No, I don't they They are old school candies. If Doug, if you find them Doug, you get a bonus. Because old school candies. Yeah, old school candies. He's giving out the whole thing to find that. Old school grandma candies. I don't know.

Starting point is 01:19:13 They're so, they're good. I like old people candy. I've never met anybody that likes the circus ring that's for these suckers. Dude, circus candies are amazing. These are the things, you know where you get these two, you get these at the 99 cent store. Yeah, you do.

Starting point is 01:19:28 That's where they sell these fucking things. They still sell those? Yeah, after they're 20 years old. Oh my God. They make it to the 99 cents or the people, they try and sell them for a dollar 99, it's safe way. They don't nobody buys them yet.

Starting point is 01:19:38 They then they get shipped to the 99 cents store. The next decade. They remind me of those, you know what those soft mints, like what do you know how to say? No, those are good. Those are really good. What do they kinda look like though?

Starting point is 01:19:47 Is it that same texture? It is similar to, it's kinda similar to that texture. But those actually taste like it. They like melts in your mouth. Yeah, no, those are good. These are, why don't I have like the worst shit in gas stations still? Yeah, they do.

Starting point is 01:19:58 They're better now, depending on where you go. Well, you're in Hawaii. Yeah, I don't know about that. You're in LA gas stations are different. Heliproves. Go I-5. Yeah. But don't know about that. You're in LA gas stations are different than your helicopters. Go I-5. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:20:07 But they sell incense and gas. I'll be there. Inse. Yeah. All right, next question. Two-three. Tim Imbo. What's a part of the business you have to do on a day-to-day basis, but absolutely hate

Starting point is 01:20:18 doing. Oh, man. That's a tough one. Instagram. Really? Yeah, I can't stand it. Oh, that's probably a good. I I was gonna say one of the things about this This partnership that we created it's been really cool to

Starting point is 01:20:31 Watch us all kind of naturally fall into the things that are our strengths and and to hand off things that We typically don't like. I mean if there's a part of this business that one of us does not like, you're probably not doing it. I mean, I think we've done a really good job of allowing those that are great at that or like doing that to do those positions and to not have to do the things that you don't really like to do. I would have to say with Justin, you know, there's a pressure to, and I feel it more now than ever, we definitely created a monster with being very active on Instagram and social media and answering

Starting point is 01:21:09 people's questions and responding to everybody. It's gotten to the point now where it's impossible. I can't, at all times, I'm behind 50 to 100 DMs. And so if you're listening to this right now, I apologize, I'm always trying to get to all of them. So that can be a little daunting sometimes and frustrating because we preach on this show a lot about being disconnected from your phone.

Starting point is 01:21:33 And if I were to execute this every single day, it would require me now to be on my phone almost two to three hours straight of just answering. Yeah, I don't think it's necessarily the interaction or having to answer questions or, you know, I actually enjoy that quite a bit. I think it's approaching every day like a unique thing. Like it's like trying to like think of something

Starting point is 01:21:56 that's clever or like entertaining or like some kind of some value or it's just, it's just another one of those things that you're like, well, they've heard everything. Like, what else can I really like put out here that isn't stupid and been done to death? And I don't know. I think it's just what I overthink it. Let's put it that way. Yeah. It's too much. It's a tough question because I've never been in a position where I like everything. Right. You know what I mean? Yeah? So even the thing I like the least is, I like it exactly.

Starting point is 01:22:27 I like it way more than anything else I've ever done. I don't mind Instagram as much as I mind when we do like funny silly things on video. And it's not because, you know, I don't like stuff with a sense of humor. It's that when we're supposed to be silly, so like when we did the Christmas cards, you know, that was fun and stuff,

Starting point is 01:22:48 but it's hard for me to do it when I know I'm supposed to do it. Like, oh, Sal, you gotta be funny now. I don't know how to do it anymore. You know, it's stressful. It has to happen naturally for me. And so that for me can be more difficult. Like if Taylor tells us, okay guys, I want you guys to go to this gym over here.

Starting point is 01:23:04 You're gonna work out in a funny way. You're gonna make a video about it. It would be more difficult for me. But even that's fun. You know what I mean? There's really not. Well, I know I didn't like, I hated the YouTube. So I hated YouTube doing that.

Starting point is 01:23:15 And you know, fuck, we did that for 400 something videos for the first two years of doing that. We did that. I never liked doing that. And the reason why I didn't like doing it is it, I'm a very outgoing person. I love people. I like communicating.

Starting point is 01:23:33 I don't get nervous in front of crowds. But this idea of pretending like I'm talking to somebody who's not there, because I'm staring at a camera all by myself, or with Eli or Taylor behind the camera, but I'm pretending that I'm talking to the masses, or I'm speaking to this kid who wants to build his chest, right, or I don't like the pretending piece.

Starting point is 01:23:56 I just don't do well with that, and so I really didn't like doing that. Now, I'm very competitive with myself, so like Justin's like, this sounds like this, we're all like this, where if there's something that we don't like, it doesn't mean that we quit it, we quit it, or we decide like, I'm not gonna do it, I became competitive with myself, like, okay,

Starting point is 01:24:15 I'm gonna master this, or I'm gonna get good at it. And so I learned to like the things that I don't like by becoming competitive with becoming better at it. And so that was the approach with the YouTube channel, but I couldn't be happier to be away from it now now to have somebody like Danny who thrives in it that loves doing it, which is to me, being a great leader or a great team player is being able to be okay with that. I don't think I could do this without the partners that I have because

Starting point is 01:24:46 we don't all have these control issues where we need to be in control of everything. All of us are okay with stepping back and allowing somebody who either excels at that or loves doing that. And that's a perfect example of something that I really hated doing for two years now. But I needed it. It was a necessity that I did it for that long. Now that we have somebody in that position that can do that, I think does a better job than I do. And loves doing it. That's a win all the way around

Starting point is 01:25:15 so I can now move myself out. Yeah, I don't mind talking to the camera. It depends on the context though. If I'm just talking to the camera or interviewing someone, I enjoy that. Not as much as I enjoy podcasting. Nothing comes close to podcasting, but I enjoy it.

Starting point is 01:25:30 Now, if I'm doing an exercise demo, then I can get bored with the process on camera. But nothing that we do compares to sitting down and podcasting, this is what I enjoy doing the most. Absolutely. Yeah, there's hands down. Yeah, hands down, there's nothing that compares to having good conversation with smart people,

Starting point is 01:25:49 with people I enjoy talking to, because the truth is if we didn't record this, I'd still have this conversation, I'd still wanna do this. So this by far is one of my favorite things. The other favorite thing I enjoy doing is I really enjoy the creative aspect of what we do. When we are coming up with new ideas and new angles of how to communicate certain things and new ways of working with our partners and sponsors or new programs that we're creating

Starting point is 01:26:16 or different angles that the examining the market and seeing where it's going and how we're going to work with it. That kind of stuff gets me really excited because it's challenging and it's fun at the same time and so I feel like it can never get boring. Yeah, no, we've done a good job again. Like I said, I mean, there's a lot of things that Justin does that I fucking hate. There's a lot of things that Sal does. I fucking hate. There's a lot of things that Doug does.

Starting point is 01:26:38 I hate, but I don't do them. That's really what's made this really magical is, I mean, when Justin sits down and has to write cues and oversee the projects of us redoing all the programs and managing that whole process, I'm like, I don't want nothing to do with that. When Sal sits down and writes a fucking 5,000-word document, are you kidding me? That would take me two weeks to do what he does in three hours. The shit the dog has to do is sit down and edit and be constantly working with the bookkeepers

Starting point is 01:27:09 and oh, that shit I would never, I hate all that stuff. So you keep in contact with everybody, we've come across and all that, like that's totally not one of my strengths. Yeah, everyone's really naturally fell into the things that they enjoy, that they do or that they do really well. And it has allowed us to continue. It's what makes this thing really exciting even after four years and to see where it's

Starting point is 01:27:33 going to go from here is because we've done a really good job of, you know, we're all okay with doing something that we don't want to do. You do the things you have to do now so you can do the things you want to do later. So all of us have done anything that's being done in this business right now, all of us, or at least one of us, has done that for the business at one point to understand it and to manage it and lead it,

Starting point is 01:27:54 but we're all okay with delegating it out and being done with it and moving on to another part of the business. Yeah, what a great situation to be in because it sucks to have to do things that you really dislike As part of your day-to-day job.

Starting point is 01:28:42 money's going and coming from. That's a massive problem. Yeah, so find something that you like about what you hate doing and do it or hire somebody to do it because it won't get done otherwise in my experience at least.
