Well, no, it's not, it kinda is though, you know.
Starting point is 00:04:48 It's like, I don't watch Chappy. It's like the, yeah, the evolved version of it, right? Yeah, he becomes like artificial intelligence. Yeah, and then he gets into a gang and everything. It's very, it's, they totally remade the movie. No, you're right, actually. Yeah, if you look at, you know, it's short circuit. No, they totally, I like my robot movies dark. I don't like the night, you know what I mean? Like, I'm a robot and I'm cool, hey, a short circuit. No, they told you. I like my robot movies dark.

Starting point is 00:05:15 What's it called? You. Okay. Why owe you? That's it. You know, I got my buddy, my best friend listening to it. It's on YouTube. Netflix.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Netflix. Did I say YouTube? You did. I did, buddy, my best friend listened to it. It's on YouTube. Netflix. Netflix. Did I say YouTube? You did. I did, really? Yeah, sorry. I apologize to the audience. It's you. My buddy said that it was originally a lifetime series.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Oh. Which is funny because I'd never want a good cry. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, watch some life. But it's not like that at all. It's definitely not a cry. It's a, you're going to like it because it's intelligently written, it's twisted.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Oh, I love that part. Yes, I know, I know you like that. And it's extremely unique. I can't, does it leave you at the end of it feeling weird? Yeah, like, yeah, I have to take a shower. You know, I mean, like, do you question things afterwards? Like, what is this? It did a good job on me going, I can't wait for season two.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Okay. So it did a good job of that. That's good. And it is also one of those shows that it can, every episode I think I think it got better and better as it got deeper, it got better. And maybe the first episode, I don't even think the first episode was slow. The first episode, because it was recommended to me, I always give something more than one, one episode.
Starting point is 00:06:23 All right. Because you know, it takes a little bit sometimes. The first episode is always tough. Yeah, this is, this is so much to cover. Yeah, I, uh something more than one episode. Because it takes a little bit sometimes a bit. First episode is always tough. Yeah, this is so much to cover. Yeah, because Jessica's, she's going to go visit her family. So I'll be, I'll be able to watch the relief weird twisted shit now. Yeah, she kind of bothers her a little bit.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Like that, let me remember. This one she would not like then. If that's how, if she doesn't like twisted stuff. So my best friend, what I was going to tell you is my best friend, him and I have very similar taste in movies and shows, and I love to get recommendation from him. And so I send this one over to him. And he gets back to me like a couple of days later.
Starting point is 00:06:54 He's like, he's like, man, I'm surprised you really liked that one. I was like, I was like, really? I was like, you know, I like something that's well written and I like twisted shit. I think that's, and I thought it was very unique and had the perspective that they tell the whole story from. And he's like, yeah, no, he's like,
Starting point is 00:07:11 I give it like a C plus or whatever. And I'm like, really? And he's like, well, he goes, his wife, he goes, you're hated it. And I'm like, oh, I could see how, it's pretty creepy for a girl. Okay. If you're a girl and you watch it,
Starting point is 00:07:24 I could see you're like a little creeped out from it. But I think you'll like it. Yeah, because I've now had Jessica watch Hill House, which she loved, but also Terrible Sleep. Yeah. And the first black mirror, there was that one episode where they were trapped. The Christmas one.
Starting point is 00:07:41 That one. It's so good. But that one really messed with me. It messed with me. It was so good. That's so good. That's why I liked it so much. But it messed with her so bad that she wasn't normal for a day or so. Like the next day she was off. And I'm like, what's the matter, babe? And she's like, it's that thing we watched. I don't know. It might be just this the reality. Yeah. I started making a question shit. That's what I like. I like that shit too. Yeah, I like to be all weird about shit. Yeah, without giving away what this show is all about, it's a newer show. So it gives you kind
Starting point is 00:08:12 of this perspective from it's a like a millennial perspective. The social media twist is on it a little bit. So I really like, I really like where they wrote this. Yeah, I don't want to give it away. I'm just watching. I just want to talk to you. I know that you'll get a kick out of it. I don't know if you'll talk about that one. And then my sister told me, because I trust her, she knows me really well. She told me to stay away from the Hill House one,
Starting point is 00:08:34 because I won't like it. She goes, because her two scary me. Sister said that. Yeah, God, God. Why would she do that? Well, because she knows me. No, she knows me well. Stop babying a brother.
Starting point is 00:08:43 But she did say, your brother's a big boy. You can handle it. She did say I would like bird box out. Okay. She goes watch bird box. You'll like. You'll like hill house too. I don't like, no, you're just trying to scare me, dude.
Starting point is 00:08:52 What if I watch it with a well written? Yeah, hardly. Are you more likely to spoon me? Well, I mean, if you want. Are you more likely to watch it if Justin and I were there to support you? No. Really?
Starting point is 00:09:03 Are you more like, okay, let me ask you a question. Under pressure, yes, I will. If you, okay, I'll never be that guy who's, I wouldn't be the dude in the room with the three of us were all traveling somewhere. I'm like, let's watch this and I'm like, no. Yeah. If I'm out numbered, it's three to one.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Like, we're watching. Well, let me ask you this, are you more likely to watch scary things alone or with a group? Which one are you more likely to do? That's a good question. Because there's probably, I'll probably with a group. Which one are you more likely to do? That's a good question. Because I probably only a group because by myself I would never probably do that. In a group I could be pressured. But let's say you had to watch it one way or the other what would you prefer alone or with a group. With a group. I don't care if you guys need scared.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Okay. Because there's that side of it right? Do you want to show it to me? Well, you know me. I'm secure. So it's like whatever. I openly admit on the show. Well, that's scared of scary movies that time I told the the campfire story at the in Tahoe you jumped pretty you got everybody everybody everybody each other was really I wish I didn't forget how you told it because it was really good oh it's a great story I can't tell it on the show, so it won't work. No, it won't work anyway.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Man, I should be tired, but I'm not. Why? You ever get that like that where you recognize, I didn't get good sleep last night, and then I got up early because my son's doing his eighth grade pictures, and for the first time, he wants to look good. Like, he actually starting to care now a little bit. And yeah, so he's like, he's like he's like I'm gonna wake up a little early and
Starting point is 00:10:27 Can you help me with my hair and then I want to shave the night before because you just started shaving so I'm helping him out and everything Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, so I had to wake up early and that meant I had to get my workout started at 5.30 It's terrible. So I had to start my workout at 5.30 Didn't get good sleep. I knew I had to start my work out at 5.30, didn't get good sleep. I knew I had to get a high volume workout today. I did three, let me say, I did nine sets per everybody part. So I had to finish that all in under 60 minutes

When I was a kid, I had so much hair that just wouldn't work everywhere. And now I've lost enough to where it just,
Starting point is 00:16:12 you know, I'm not, I'm not kind of state. Yeah, I'm not fighting a lot of them as much as I was before. Yeah, that's why it only takes one. Yeah, I just, it's stuck in the position I want it to be anyway. Did you guys see that article that, who shared it?

And these are all descriptions that are these are all verbatim. Okay, so ready for this. Now before I get into what people had stuck in their butt, which is the most common one, let's start with penis. Apparently people got things stuck inside their penises. So let's
Starting point is 00:17:04 start off with the first one pipe cleaner Somebody got a pipe cleaner stuck in there. Yeah, someone out straw. Well, you're oh Can we skip this part?

And he said that they couldn't pull it out because it created a vacuum. So every time they try to pull it out, it was stuck harder. Yeah, and so you don't want to like pull everything out.
Starting point is 00:18:42 So they'd drill a hole in the glass or something. They actually had to crack and break the glass and pull the pieces out Yeah, wow This another person got crack cocaine stuck up there.

He used to tell stories about that same thing and how common it was the same story like every time like somebody had something stuck up their ass. It was like the same field carrot, you know, or it was like this. It was already like, you know, manicured kind of a phallic vegetable. And they're like, yeah, I was, I've
Starting point is 00:19:21 slipped and fell on it in the kitchen or, I was in the produce section and it just fell and it's like, come on! Yes, that's exactly what my client said. No, Dr. Mimepa, he told these stories. Yeah, and he talked about that when they come in a lot of times, they slipped and fell on the show. Like it's an accident, you got a hot wheels in your recto.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But you're already there and they're working on you. How do you tell the story? Like, you know, I was taking a shower and I was making a salad at the same time. And yeah, I just fell on the cucumber.
Starting point is 00:19:56 So right up there. You just fell on it. Yeah, you have to think about like the what goes through someone's mind on the way to the emergency room. You got to come up with a really elaborate light. Yeah, what story would you come? Nothing works. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Just be honest. Every one of those stories has to start with, you won't believe this doctor. Get my free call. You're not gonna believe what happened. I'm gonna share the one that Jackie sent over because Jackie, I appreciate the psychology stuff that you know, I enjoy that, and Mark Manson, I think, he's a great author. He wrote a blog on six toxic relationship habits.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Most people think. Oh, I saw that. Our normal. So I'm gonna read him to you guys. If you guys have examples, I think that's great, too. Not necessarily examples with your partner, but where you've heard this or seen this. Sure. So six toxic speaking on a Friend of mine. Yeah, but for you, I know somebody else. I know got six toxic relationship habits. Most people think are normal number one being the relationship scorecard Right, so that's the you know keeping tally of all the times you fuck up and then reminding you in an argument Yeah, that is a six time. I've told you.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah. I have initiated sex seven times. You've only done it four. Yes. Yes. Scorecard. That's a fail. Epic fail if your partner does that.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Not good. Two, dropping, quote unquote, hints and other passive aggression. This is a common one, right? Like the giving, giving the hints to try and get your point across or being very passive aggressive. Yeah, you know what, babe? But what do you think of fat girls, you know what I mean? They're not the hot, right? Anyway, so what's going on later?
Starting point is 00:21:32 What do we have for dinner? Good example. Number three. Great. Holding the relationship hostage. Yeah, that's a bad one. Right, right. That's a common woman hold sex. A lot of that's their hostage. Or just threatening the relationship. Right, right. That's a common women hold sex a lot. That's their, that's their, their, their hostage.
Starting point is 00:21:45 Or just threatening the relationship. Right, right, right. For blaming your partner for your own emotions. This is probably one of the most common. Right. You make me feel this way. It's your fault. I feel this way. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:57 Yeah. Number five. I made a girl's voice and you said that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't say that was like, this is my argument voice. It's a little different.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Displace of loving jealousy. Probably one of the major reasons. Loving jealousy? Yeah, that's like, what's loving jealousy? Loving jealousy is like, I'm going through your phone because I love you and I want to protect you. From all the pedophiles out there. I really just wanted to see who the fuck you're DMing.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Six, buying the last one, buying the solutions to a relationship problem. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't think that one, I mean, that one probably, most people that are in a relationship that are allowing that to happen, the girl's probably, or the guy, whoever is getting
Starting point is 00:22:36 shit paid for them is probably aware of that, and okay, with that, I mean. And so this was written by a legit, like, relationship expert. No, it's written by an author, Mark Manson. Because sometimes, who wrote the subtle art of not giving a fuck? Because sometimes I'll read articles like this,
Starting point is 00:22:51 and I like, this is just click, baby. Like, 10 tops trades of an empath. Oh, do you have an empathetic brain? I'd read the trades and like, this is just somebody who's, no, I would read it unless I think it's, I think they're really good points, actually. I think there's something, and I'm sparing people from the,
Starting point is 00:23:08 you know, underneath each one of those topics and says what it is, so it explains in depth, and then why it's toxic, and then what you should do instead. So it's actually a really good article for people to read. I'll have Jackie put it in the show notes. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Because I think communication is probably one of the things that most people struggle with in any relationship is the ability to communicate to your partner how you truly feel about things. It's so crazy. I was watching a show on Netflix yesterday. What is it? It's about tidying up your house. Something tidy. Oh yeah. It's the the the, the, the, the, the,
Starting point is 00:23:45 the Asian girl, the Japanese lady. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I love her, she's adorable. Absolutely lover. I don't know if you dug, have you seen this? The tidy up lady? Yes. Kondo?
Starting point is 00:23:55 Yes. Yeah, yeah. Have you seen the show on the board? I haven't, I saw, I put it on my list because I'm interested in, and following that. Anyway, it's really, really good. And the first episode was this couple with two kids, normal family.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Love actually nice people, loving family. Last name is friend, I believe we're not the last name's friend. And their house wasn't even that messy. It was just a regular house with two kids. And they had the regular challenges that couples have with kids, you know, just their little kids, so they're busy, two ships passing the night, and as you're watching that, you can see that they both love each other, but they're busy, two ships passing the night, da da da. And as you're watching that,
Starting point is 00:24:25 you can see that they both love each other, but they're both so frustrated because they just, they just don't get each other, just not communicating with each other effectively. And in the show, as they progress or whatever it organized the house, it kind of loosens things up and they're talking about how they flirt.
Starting point is 00:24:40 But in the beginning of it, the guy works a lot, like 50 to 60 hours a week, he said, and he goes, yeah, he goes, my family doesn't get the best of me right now because I'm so busy and stressed out and then he pauses, and you could tell he heard himself. He's like, wow, my family doesn't get the best of me. It was a really, really good show, but yeah, that communications everything. Yeah. Absolutely. Kind of on that topic about men and women, This study was published early last year in sciencedirect.com. It's a great website. That will post some interesting studies. This is in the segment of evolution and human behavior. The article is titled, Different Impacts of Resources on Opposite Sex
Starting point is 00:25:20 Ratings of Physical Attractiveness by Males and F. Okay, so basically what they did was is they combined images of male and female body shape with information on annual salary to elucidate the influence of economic status on the attractiveness ratings by the opposite sex. So how much the person earns per year, how much of that impacts, how attractive they're considered by the opposite sex. Oh, that's great. Okay. Now, I can't wait to hear the variance between men and women.
Starting point is 00:25:52 I'll think of a difference. Oh, I think it's at least 60% different. Yeah. That's my guess. What about you, Justin? Yeah. I would say he copied me. He copied you.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Yeah. You should do it like the game shows where they just go like one. Yeah, I guess 61%. Yeah. I'm going he copied me. Yeah, I would copy you. You should do it like the game shows where they just go like, 61%. I'm gonna go with 16. Justin's closer. $1. $1.
Starting point is 00:26:12 They, in the article, we found that ratings of attractiveness were around 1,000 times more sensitive to salary for females, rating males. Wow. Rating females. Wow. So women are 1, thousand times more sensitive to, in terms of judging a man's attractiveness
Starting point is 00:26:31 based on their annual salary versus men to women. One thousand. Well, I mean, you know what? It makes sense, right? Evolutionarily, it makes sense, but it also makes sense from this standpoint. One, women who see men who produce a lot. Who see men?
Starting point is 00:26:48 Wow. Nice. You can connect, you can use them. Women who, you know, they'll know a man and see that he's producing a lot. He's very successful. That she's going to consider him very attractive. For sure, there's the evolutionary, you know, explanation for it. You know, he can provide more resources and that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:05 And there's also the obvious stuff. It may say more other things about him, like he's confident and all these other things. And man, many times we'll find a woman who earns more than him less attractive, which they didn't talk about in this article. And I think part of that may be just the threat, like he feels like it's less about himself
Starting point is 00:27:23 because he sees a girl that makes more money than him. But anyway, it's a thousand times. So if you're like, if you're just fucking ugly, you know what I mean? If you're just an unattractive dude, you can increase your attractiveness a thousandfold. Just getting real successful. It's get busy. I mean, I'm really busy. I saw you trolling the other day. I haven't caught you trolling. Oh, no, it wasn't. Yes, you were. I saw you trolling the other day haven't caught you trolling. Oh, no, it wasn't yes. You were I caught you troll who you trolled Elliot holes. Oh, that was a trolling. Yeah His post was not good. I know Yeah, it was really nice. No, he did this nice. There's a nice little
Starting point is 00:27:59 schooling. He did this this feminism post that He really didn't do a good job of communicating what I think he wants to communicate. And I don't know exactly what he's trying to communicate, but it's a picture, first of all, he picked the wrong picture. So it's a picture from like the 50s with a woman with an apron on,
Starting point is 00:28:16 she's getting a cake out of the oven or something. And it's like, and it says feminism is the idea that women are free when they serve their employers, but slaves when they serve their husbands and children. And then he's writing about how, and then in the post, he writes about how, you know, feminism makes women unhappy. And, you know, if you're, if you're, they die miserable childless in the loans surrounded by a thousand cats, I mean, it's really, it's really not, you know, he's, he's kind of
Starting point is 00:28:43 not trying to communicate what he's, you to communicate what he's trying to say, I think. I don't know, I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. But anyway, so I just wrote underneath it that that's not what feminism is all about. Feminism was about, you know, women couldn't vote. They had to jump through legal loopholes for property rights. And the key is to give people, to treat them like individuals. So if they want to do something, then they should be able to and pursuing their own happiness,
Starting point is 00:29:06 whatever that means. And if that means that they are, stay at home on, and that's great, if it means that they work, and that's great too. But the other thing that irritated me was the whole, you know, serve, serve their employers, and you know, slaves, whatever. When you work for someone,
Starting point is 00:29:19 let's be honest here, when you're working for someone, it's a mutual beneficial agreement. It's voluntary. I don't care how much you hate your employer, you're there because you're working for someone, it's a mutual, beneficial agreement. It's voluntary. I don't care how much you hate your employer, you're there because you're getting something. Otherwise you wouldn't be there. So if it wasn't benefiting you, you would be gone. So a lot of times people look at their employers
Starting point is 00:29:36 like they're these slave drivers or whatever, but let's be honest here. You're getting something for it. If you could get something better, that's where you would be, but you can't. So fucking be cool with it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:48 But anyway, the response was kind of whatever. Yeah, well, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, you give you a response, you get a lot of it. You got a lot of love though, I saw. Yeah. I think he got what he wanted from that post though. I think he got, I mean, four or five times the views
Starting point is 00:29:59 and likes and comments. Yeah, I mean, it's a pretty divisive way of putting it, yeah, and like the way that he presented it for sure. Well, I think, I mean, that's the thing. I think you can challenge it on both ends and like you made a good point of it being an individual preference thing. That's, like, there's a stigma for a while there for stay at home moms and I think that definitely needed to be challenged.
Starting point is 00:30:26 But then again, there's great benefit into independence and being able to pursue whatever the fuck you wanna pursue. So it's a family's choice at that point. Like, well, I was best for your dynamic of your family. I mean, Katrina and I have discussed this and personally, I want her to stay home. But I also don't care what.
Starting point is 00:30:48 But what she decides is up to her. That's how I feel. It's like I would love for her to stay and be home with the kids. And shit I would, if she made more money than I made, then I would do that. I don't give it. It's not a sexist thing.
Starting point is 00:31:01 It's like the partner at the two of us that's able to supply enough income for us to live the lifestyle that we like to live. It just makes sense. Yeah, it does. And so, but, you know, she's also pretty adamant about not. Now, I think things would change when she has a baby and maybe she would feel differently,
Starting point is 00:31:18 but she was raised by a mother who, you know, worked a full-time job and built a business when she was a kid. So she's used to that and she's okay with that. And I'm okay with it too, but I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting that. No, it's like running a company, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:32 you have people taking over certain roles. And look, if everybody did everything in a company, a company would be wrenched terribly. Yeah. You can't do it that way. You can't be the multiple hat person. No, and a life raising a family and having a life together It's a lot of stuff
Starting point is 00:31:47 There's that of course is earning money part But then there's a managing the personal life in the home and if you have children children take up a big chunk of time as well And their development to inter like all kinds of Factors there of how you want your kids to be raised well the best person that's gonna raise your kids is you Yeah, so you want your kids to be raised. Well, the best person that's going to raise your kids is you. Yeah. So you got to think about it. It just makes sense that you would divide and conquer. Right? Okay. I got this side. Don't worry about it. I'll handle it. You got that. And now the truth is a lot of people don't have that luxury. Yeah. A lot of people, you know, have to both work because they can't one person in the reality. That's
Starting point is 00:32:20 the reality these days. The only, you know, feminism's gotten a bad rap lately, and I think it has to do with just the, them being more against things than four things, right? The more like, you see a lot of them hating on men or saying that, you know, it's all about men being oppressive and that women have to work. And this and that's like, no, no, no. The whole idea behind feminism was that,
Starting point is 00:32:41 that women can choose to do whatever they want, whatever's gonna make them happy. Being equal doesn't mean being the same, being equal means we all have the same liberties and rights and that we all should be respected as individuals. That's what it's supposed to be about. There's definitely been challenges with, because you also wrote in there how women's ratings of happiness has plummeted over the last few decades. But so is men's.
Starting point is 00:33:07 It's not, I don't think it has to do with the fact that the feminism, I think it has to do with the fact that we're just kind of losing our purpose. And the family's not becoming the center of our lives that it used to be. And family, it's one way to really get a lot of purpose. And so I think that's really the issue. I don't think it has anything to do with feminism.
Starting point is 00:33:24 So anyway, I read that and was like, let's do this. Yeah, so dude, did you guys see the rechargeable like note, you could literally recharge it, unplug it, juve red light, the small ones. Did you guys see that they're coming out with that? Is it out or is it gonna come? I think it's, is it out yet? Let me see here. I'm so on the devilian. I need a list for it right now. Oh, okay, I was gonna say, because I didn't think it was out yet. I heard that it was coming.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Dude, it's the medical grade LEDs. It's the same quality that you get in their other lives. It's supposed to be cheaper than anything you have to. Yeah, it's inexpensive, because it's smaller, wireless, rechargeable, it's handheld, so you could travel with it. I think this thing's awesome. Now, here's why I like a travel form of this product.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Especially if you travel long distance, using photo, bio-modulation is a great way to help overcome jet lag. It's a fantastic way to do it. Shining this on yourself when the sun is supposed to be up and when the, you know, and of course, where blue blockers and a lot of stuff on the sun goes down. So let's say you're in a hotel room in a new country
Starting point is 00:34:31 and you're waking up, you know, when you're supposed to or whatever, but you're jet lagged, sit under one of these things or shine this thing on your face for 15 minutes and it should help with the... I remember when we first... That's exactly how it is. One of the first interviews that we had with Ben Greenfield, that was like his go-to hack.
Starting point is 00:34:48 And I think it was one of those interviews that we did where we were talking about all these little fitness hacks that we've hacked into and he's talking about how when he travels that going and finding an infrared sauna is like his go-to thing. Yeah, sauna, sunlight, blocking out the light when it's supposed to be dark. Yeah, and then also getting on whatever time zone you're in,
Starting point is 00:35:11 on that schedule of eating as well. Yes, that's a big one. Yeah, just so that way, you have that process and your digestive track and everything else is on point with that. Yeah, apparently, I didn't know this until maybe two years ago or last year that your digestive system runs on a circadian rhythm as well. Yeah. So if you're eating in the middle of the night of the new place you're supposed to be in your body, your digestive
Starting point is 00:35:35 system, it's hard. It slows down the adjustment to the time schedule because your body thinks you're supposed to be awake. So what you want to do is let's say you're on the plane and where you're going is nighttime, even though you're where you're leaving to be awake. So what you wanna do is, let's say you're on the plane and where you're going is nighttime, even though you're leaving is daytime, don't eat anything. Get your body used to, get that circadian rhythm to kick in and adapt faster. And then of course,
Starting point is 00:35:57 now that you can use this red light. Well, speaking of juice, did you guys, so Rachel came in the other day, Rachel takes care of all of our accounts and keeps us up the speed on what's new, kind of like this. I didn't realize that they have a 60 day money back guarantee thing.
Starting point is 00:36:14 That I just learned too. Yeah, I didn't know that. So what I would suggest, because I get messages all the time about this particular technology, like is it really worth it? Does it work? It sounds kind of whatever.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Fuckin' get it. Use it for 60 days and see for yourself. Yeah, if you use it for two months consistently, you'll see it. Yeah, they use it consistently. No, that's the key that I know even now. When I fall off, I can see the difference in my skin. I can see the difference in the thickness of my hair.
Starting point is 00:36:41 All the things that I notice from the benefits from it, I notice if I don't do it. So that's the one That's the one thing that you have to take into consideration that it's not a oh Use this for a week and then you're done and then it fixes everything for you I like the the term medical grade LEDs because I know that they've separated themselves in the market in terms of like You know the quality of the type of output that they have. So, you know, versus other things you can buy if Amazon for cheaper. And these, so it's nice that they're bringing an option that's a little bit more affordable
Starting point is 00:37:13 for people to give it a shot. Speaking of Amazon, another article, Jackie sent, which she's winning the article war with the rest of the staff, by the way, you guys pick up your game. This, this, she knows us the best, that's why. So Amazon is going to just, they're already dominating, okay, what was that last statistic I read with something like they represent it? He's getting a divorce, yeah, that's enough.
Starting point is 00:37:35 So we could talk about that too in a second. It was, what were they doing? Like 70% of all e-commerce or 80% anyway. Check out what they're gonna do now and tell me that this isn't gonna just murder their competition. Amazon is piloting a program that's gonna let brands send free samples to consumers.
Starting point is 00:37:52 So what they're gonna do is, Amazon through Amazon Prime knows your purchasing history, knows what you like what you don't like, and then they're just gonna send you samples. Free shit, they're just gonna come to your door. You're knowing that, let's say you order, you know, protein powders or you order supplements or you order hair products, whatever.
Starting point is 00:38:10 And they know what you're kinda into. You're gonna get a free sample delivered to your door of another product and it's free. You can't tell me that's not fucking good. Yeah. How do you compete? And imagine how it's probably gonna come with an offer. Like, hey, you know, 50% off of your order today.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I'm gonna have a prime. Brilliant. Fucking, you know what's gonna, so think of all the shit that's gonna do. This is gonna create major competition amongst all these brands on Amazon, because they're gonna start stealing each other's customers through this type of process.
Starting point is 00:38:40 So you're gonna start getting free shit left and right. This is gonna be awesome. Hooray for consumers. Oh, this is one of the best things that I've ever heard of. I think it's gonna be, I can't think of why it wouldn't succeed. Now, what's this about? Bezos is getting a divorce? Yeah, I'm as wife.
Starting point is 00:38:54 25 years of marriage. Yeah, I've made, it's funny because like I, you see Amazon and I say, you know, like, he's getting a divorce. Like Amazon is getting a divorce. It's like, no, it's, it's, it's based on bro. That's yeah, it's, I don't know what that's going to look like in terms of, so is it? Cal, he's not California. So what are the laws in terms of, cause it's half here.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Doesn't matter. 25 years they were married. He, he, he married his wife. So that's got to be like half a year before they started Amazon. So she gets half. Yeah. So he's a, what is he worth $160 billion? Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:27 So that's gonna be, this will be the most expensive. That is a payout. Divorce of all time. Wow. Yeah. It's not crazy. It will go down, is that? Probably. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Think about it. Who's more than half? If she gets half, she's gonna get billions for sure. Billions and billions. Now, how does that work? Because that's what the company is value. It's not that he's not that liquid. So you're gonna have to share as I think,
Starting point is 00:39:50 or something like that. Or the value of it. Right, it'll have to be something like that. Because you won't be able to, I doubt he has enough liquid cash to cash out what he's valued at. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:02 So he's got a personal stake in Amazon estimated to be worth $160 billion. That's what it says. Oh my God. So I don't know because she's got to get, she's going to get half of the value of them or something like that, right? I don't know. Now, I mean, the way I look at it is this. I mean, they were married for 25 years. You got their judge would be confused on that one. Well, he's like, this is so much, my calculator just showed us high. It exploded. It doesn't fit that many zeros. You know, he's gonna be infinity.
Starting point is 00:40:30 You know, he's gonna make out like bandits over this. All the lawyers and shit to figure that out. Of course. We need some more time. Yeah, because they're amicable. On the clock. Apparently, they're amicable. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Well, maybe they won't need a bunch of lawyers. Oh, you still do. How complicated is that? Think about that. Well, I would hope that him or her would just agree on something like, what's the, okay, 160 billion, like, are you really going to buck over, you know, a few different billion? What are you going to do with all that money? Yeah, you know, I think if someone were to, okay, think about this for a second.
Starting point is 00:41:04 If someone were to cash you out on 80 billion, you may spend I think if someone were okay, think about this for a second if someone were to Cash you out. Yeah on 80 billion you may spend the next five years counting it With a team. Yeah, like that's really how long it how long would it take you to count like is she gonna start How long would it take to count that anyone under our bills? Okay, but understand this they could be super amicable They could literally decide between the two of them, what you get, what I get. You still need a team of lawyers to go through all that legal mumbo jumbo to figure out how you divide it, how you get what.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Okay, you need to remain the shareholder of Amazon, but how's she gonna get the valuation? What that's gonna look like? It's still, you're still looking at hundreds of hours of lawyers. Yeah, the lawyers are gonna make a shit, you're rich, if you're the lawyer dealing with this divorce the lawyer's gonna make a shit. You're rich. If you're the lawyer dealing with this divorce,
Starting point is 00:41:46 you're gonna make a shit. You're gonna make 100,000 massive pants just on some basic stuff. You know what I mean? Crazy, crazy stuff. Speaking of making out on money. So check out these statistics I just got to this morning from Health IQ,
Starting point is 00:42:01 the Life Insurance Company. I didn't know this. Apparently if you can run an eight minute mile without stopping, you have a 35% lower risk of all cause mortality. There's also a significant risk of death, all cause if you could just deadlift your body weight. How cool is that?
Starting point is 00:42:19 I saw it's funny you bring that up because I actually screen-shotted. Health IQ is, I think they're really on to something the way they're marketing. And I saw on Instagram today, I was scrolling through and they popped up in my feed and I took a picture of it and it's actually very similar to what you just read. Let me see where I hear it.
Starting point is 00:42:41 It says run a nine minute, it says run a nine minute mile, get one million in life insurance from $36 a month. Yeah. These are the kinds of things. This is why I think that's pretty cool. I keep telling my, I have family members that are really into fitness and I keep telling them, like when you go to life insurance,
Starting point is 00:42:59 the kind of stuff they look at is do you smoke, do you know what's your blood lipid levels, how much you weigh, that kind of stuff. And health IQ does that too, but they also go do shit like that. Like okay, how, do you know, what's your blood lipid levels, how much you weigh, that kind of stuff. And health like you does that too, but they also go do shit like that. Like okay, how fast can you run the mile? You know, how much can you squat? How often do you lift weights?
Starting point is 00:43:12 How often do you do cardio? Do you meditate? Like this is the shit that they factor in. Like you measure both things that healthy people do to stay and prevent disease. Otherwise you pay more. That's the part, like, because I've gotten life insurance before
Starting point is 00:43:26 and because I'm heavy, not fat, but I have muscle, life insurance companies, I've had to go back on fourth of them. I wonder how much more accurate it is for them to do it that way and how much more successful they are because they do that, which is kind of cool. The consumer wins because it's like, hey, I'm a healthy person who does all these things.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Why do I not get benefits from it? So if you're somebody who exercises, then it's kind of a. The consumer wins because it's like, hey, I'm a healthy person who does all these things. Why do I not get benefits from it? So, if you're somebody who exercises, then it's kind of a no-brainer company to go through. It has to be the best people to ensure. You, it has to, if I'm a life insurance company, I would love to ensure a bunch of fit and healthy people because I'm probably gonna make them, right, they make their money on you not dying, right?
Starting point is 00:44:00 Exactly, yeah, every time, they don't want you to die. That's, that's, basically it's a bet. That's what life insurance is. The life insurance figures out what they think you're not dying, right? Exactly, yeah. Yeah, they don't want you to die. That's basically it's a bet. That's what life insurance is. The life insurance figures out what they think you're, you know, if you're gonna die or whatever, how much it's gonna cost them to make a profit off that. That's all it is. It's in their best interest for you to keep being healthy.
Starting point is 00:44:17 So I think it's nice that they're finally catching on to that. And I would love to see where the progression of this goes. Yeah, I want to see more things geared around fit and healthy people because I'm sick and tired of paying for and subsidizing for all the unhealthy people out there. Like, you know, with all these other insurances that you pay for, it needs to be more, there needs to be a segment for responsible, healthy people who take care of it. I got my shit together. Yeah, I don't want to pay money for the guy over there that smokes and whatever.
Starting point is 00:44:46 I don't want to have to pay more because of that. I would love you to pull all of us together, fit in healthy people, just deal with us so that I can pay lower prices or whatever. And they did that with life insurance. I think they're the only ones too that are really going that route. As far as I know, Doug would know better than anybody
Starting point is 00:45:01 because I know he's been in that world. I feel like this isn't really much related, but Carl's Jr. just started promoting this meatless, the vegan burger. Vegan burger. I saw it. Did you see that? No. I saw it. Yeah, it's fail. Yeah, I just won't do well. Well, it's interesting that is there really a demand for that for people like to seek out fast food like specifically doing only the vegan diet? I think that maybe it's because it's been around long enough now that people are like the new years around and people have all this motivation to try like a diet out.
Starting point is 00:45:40 It's getting all this attention. I think so. I mean, you know, be cool thing to Google Doug is how many people actually buy salads from McDonald's. Yeah, that would be interesting. Well, I think you'd be surprised. They don't make money, they have their core audience
Starting point is 00:45:54 of people that buy their products, other core customers, are these consumers that come two or three days a week. These are not people concerned about their health. And on, but to that point, there's a lot of vegans that don't give a shit about their health either. They're vegans because they don't want to eat animal products, but they're still overweight and they like you. No, they're good at chewing.
Starting point is 00:46:13 They're good at chewing on that. They don't really care or consider the processed part of that, like all this food that they're replacing with. Now, here's the thing that I would think about. If I'm a vegan, I'm a hardcore vegan, and I'm very, what's the word? My morality is based around that. Based around that. And I go to, would I even go to a Carl's June,
Starting point is 00:46:36 you're knowing that they serve so much meat, even if I'm not ordering it? Right. Because you're still giving them money. And you have, I mean, you're grilling it on the same grill, I imagine. No, I think it's different. Yeah, I think it's different. You let's get a saying that's...
Starting point is 00:46:49 Yeah, it would happen. It would happen. You'd be different, right? The billarie's like, well, why does this taste like meat? Well, yes and no, but let's get in the mind of the kid that's behind there. That's like some high school kid. Who doesn't give a shit? Who doesn't give a shit about your vegan burger?
Starting point is 00:47:02 Yeah. And it's just gonna, you know, grill it in with all the rest of the oils and sure residue from all the gets fired. Well, you saw what you think, so. What Doug just pulled up, a McDonald's salad with the dressing has more calories in a big bowl. Oh yeah, it's over a thousand calories. They're not in there to get healthy.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I remember the first time I had I drove through to get a Jack in the box, so Jack in the box McDonald's all the same thing. I went to Jack in the box to get a sal, this is when I was a trainer in my early 20s. And I remember getting it and then looking at the, looking up, because this was before fast food restaurants
Starting point is 00:47:34 had to put the macronutrients on their food. So I would have to go home, in fact, I think I used calorieking.com back then, or I had a book. Oh, I remember calorieking. Yeah, those go to places, a trainer before all these places had to put it on there. Remember coming home and looking at the breakdown for the salad, the holy shit,
Starting point is 00:47:54 I should have had two jumbo jacks instead. I would have it would have been healthier. And all of that is because of the dressing. I mean, they give you like a cup of ranch dressing or whatever. Croutons and all that. Yeah. And the cheese that's pound, that's all over. We do what I did and just dip your nuggets in the ranch.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Yeah. And then you're all good. You're good. I haven't had of all of the fast food restaurants, the one that I haven't had, like the longest period I've been without. Okay, so I haven't gone to fast food. Yeah, one's the last time one of you guys drove through
Starting point is 00:48:22 a McDonald's, a Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr. Talk about, it's gotta be a decade at least. I don't even remember. At. Yeah, one's the last time one of you guys drove through a McDonald's, a Jack in the Box, Carl's Jr. Taco Bell. It's gotta be a decade at least. I don't even remember. At least 10 years, if not more. At least, I've gone in and out. You know, that's the one if I'm gonna do something
Starting point is 00:48:32 that's semi fast food or whatever. Oh, yeah. I don't care. Actually, yeah, five guys. I can. In and out and five guys are gourmets. No, but you're talking about the... Tills are gourmets.
Starting point is 00:48:42 You're talking about the... The King's of Fast Food. I love it. You cut that. No, I haven't gone through, like, about the the the the no I haven't gone through layout like one of the the big I know I did with Katrina when we first dated she caught me like
Starting point is 00:48:54 she was with me in the the marijuana time right so when I was in the cannabis clubs I was eating some fast food so I at that and I think Jack in the box was probably my go to the tacos at Jack in the box was like go to place for sure And that was eight years ago. Well, mine. I've been reading the colossal burger there. It was like bacon
Starting point is 00:49:14 Patty bacon patty bacon patty. Yeah, we don't mess around. Yeah, we only put bread on it so your hands don't get dirty Exactly. That's a great slogan. Yeah know, this is fucking pimp me. I still have fond memories though of McDonald's french fries. I haven't had them in 10 years. Oh, they're still good. But I feel like they're the best french fries that exist. It's like angel dust. Yeah, whenever they're not profitable or they're low in their profits, they just start highlighting
Starting point is 00:49:41 the fries again. Yeah. Because they have the best by far. That gets everybody back hooked. Yeah. Because they have the best by far. That gets everybody back hooked. Yeah. Because it is one of those. One of these days I'm gonna get mastered that. Just french fries.
Starting point is 00:49:51 I'm just gonna get french fries. Try some of them. Get french fries. Just I just wanna, much french fries. I never liked them. You wanna get them? I feel like I'll be, I'll feel like, you were never a McDonald's fan.
Starting point is 00:50:00 So in order, your top three fast foods when you were eating fast food. Oh, Carl Jr. then Wendy's probably. Oh, Wendy's? Yeah. Oh my God, I hated Wendy's. Really? Unless you're getting a frosty and dip in the french fries.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Well, because I was a chicken sandwich guy. That wasn't as much of a burger guy. God, for me, my thing was this was my meal. This was my bulking meal. Now remember I was 16 or 17, so I was a kid and I was really trying to put on mass and I thought it was all about eating as much as possible So I'd lift weights at the 24-off fitness go go hard or whatever work out like an idiot Because I know any better then I'd drive to McDonald's and I'd get a double quarter pound of which is
Starting point is 00:50:37 Super sized meal and a 12 piece piece nugget in ranch dressing and and Which what is it ice cream cream what are they called? Oh, yeah, Florida. Florida make flurry. I'm like flurry. That would be my meal. Yeah, wow. And if it wasn't that then when I was like really got hip to like oh I think I could push
Starting point is 00:50:54 my food even more. Then I'd go to hometown buffet and yeah make myself sick. Another gross one. Yeah, Mickey D's probably the top for me. Did I did I had the most you know Mickey D's and then probably Mickey D's. Yeah, Mickey D's. the top for me. Did I, did I had the most, you know, Mickey D's and then probably, uh, Mickey D's. Yeah, Mickey D's. It's their cool name.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Right. Say it really cool. Mickey D's, so McDonald's and then Jack in the box when I was older, because the top, I think that was when I started drinking, right? My, my mid 20s, early 20s, mid 20s, uh, you know, nothing like two or three clock in the morning. Try because remember jackal box was the first one to open up 24 hours. They were the ones the catered degenerates. They were brilliant. Yes, they were brilliant Yes, they catered to the degenerates, right? Yeah, and I was one of those right at two o'clock three clock in the morning after the bars or what about heading?
Starting point is 00:51:40 They just posted up a duise check station Yeah, heading out if they just posted up a DUI check station. Oh my god. Yes. I remember assholes walking like like like four or five guys. Yeah. Like they we were on the car. They were not in a car. They were walking up through the track. I've done that demanding bird. I've done that before. When you're so drunk and you don't want to get a DUI, so you walk to the next, you know, Jack in the box. So Jack in the box and then probably Taco Bell is a kid. I couldn't eat Taco Bell next jack in the box. So jack in the box, and then probably, Taco Bell is a kid. I couldn't eat Taco Bell as I got older.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Taco Bell never made filled me up. It was the first thing that I think I got a real, yeah, no, you had to go and spend $20 to spend a lot of money. Yeah, and I'd be like, you get two numbers and a side thing. Those bean burritos were violent. I'm dry.
Starting point is 00:52:21 That was a violent experience. They were like all cheese, dude. It was still cheese for beans. Yeah. And tortilla. Yeah. This really, it's more like a quesadilla with a couple beans in it. Yeah. It's just all beans. And they're tor- cheese. The burrito. I hate it. My crazy. Yeah. Quik-quik! I'm going for everything.

Starting point is 00:53:40 upper and lower extremities because really if you think about it, the parts of your body that connect to the world and that move, things and move your body are your arms and your legs. And the upper and lower body are connected by the core muscles. And those muscles need to be strong enough to support that kind of movement. So from an athletic standpoint, you wanna have a strong core so that you can generate a lot of force with your hips
Starting point is 00:54:07 and with your upper body for certain movements. And there's exercises that are phenomenal for stability, but then there's also exercises that are phenomenal for aesthetics, you know, for like building the abs. And I learned this later on in my career. It was probably, I wanna say in my mid-20s, by this point, mid to late-20s, I had gotten, gone through a couple cycles of getting lean. I was able to get my body fat down to like 8% body fat,
Starting point is 00:54:34 which is relatively lean, right? Single-digit body fat percentage. And I never really had a six pack, even at 8%, unless I really flexed my abs hard, and then I could see them. But then when I was relaxed, you know, I had a flat midsection, but I didn't have like, I was very envious of guys who they would relax and they just had these bricks, you know, abs.
Starting point is 00:54:54 And I was like, God, I want that. I want my abs, I want to have a six pack without having to flex them. And I would do all, you know, I do hundreds of, you know, crunches and planks and all this, you know, stabilization exercise. And nothing was happening. I would get, you know, my abs were developed, but they weren't really popping out like the rest of my body. And then I don't remember what it was. I think I remember what article I was reading, but it dawned on me that if I want my abs
Starting point is 00:55:19 to really be visible, I have to build them. Well, very few people, strength train, abs. Very few people do that. We just, I think, I don't think like that. Abs and calves are both these two areas that I know for many years, you know, I was under the belief that, oh, because these are fast twitch fibers that we should hit it
Starting point is 00:55:40 with high repetitions and it supposedly responds better to high reps than lower reps and It's false because what we we tend to do is we always tend to train that way when we're training abs You do all these crazy bike abs and 15 30 reps and you superset But when was the last time you did a really controlled ab exercise for five to six reps and actually do it with some heavy weight now I know that with that comes more risk. So if you have low back issues and you don't have a strong core, I don't advise somebody going out and lifting really heavy weight with their abs, but if you want to build blocky
Starting point is 00:56:19 abs, one of the best things that you can do that you're probably not doing is strength training. Straighten them like any other body part you want to develop. And you're right. You're right about the reason why people don't do resistance with their abs partly is because they don't know that they should to build them. The other part is they're so weak and they have such poor control that going heavy doesn't make any sense.
Starting point is 00:56:41 It just turns into hip flexor exercise all day long. Yeah. And I think it's interesting to me to think about that because going up through the gym, you just didn't see a lot of people like really strength training their absolute than like the high reps or the stabilization exercises. I know for me, like just unknowingly, I knew that increasing load for like doing rotational exercises
Starting point is 00:57:06 was very beneficial. And I saw great carryover to that. And it really helped to build up a strong powerful body for me with all my lifts and also out on the field. But it still didn't even register to me that building up my abs, just like I would build up my arms my chest my legs like any other part of my body It it was not part of You know a thought process of mine. Yeah, like let me put it this way if you have a very muscular back with lots of muscle on it
Starting point is 00:57:40 It's going to look leaner even if you're out of higher body fat percentage. And if you have no muscle on your back and your lean, your back's not going to look as lean because you don't have the muscle to show. So building out the muscles of your midsection will make you look leaner at higher body fat percentages. To the point now, for me to have a six pack before, I had to get down to eight, maybe seven percent body fat. Now I have a six pack at about 11 percent body fat. And it's mainly because my abs now stick out more,
Starting point is 00:58:07 so it's much more visible. You know what it was, too? A lot of strength athletes and a lot of power lifters would scoff a lot at the core and ab work, because they're lifting so much weight. You know, and they're stabilizing all this weight with their core anyways. But again, this goes back to just stabilizing all the time.
Starting point is 00:58:24 That's all you're really contracting and working isometrically this muscle group. Yeah, so consider this. When you look at the very basic muscles of the core, and we're talking aesthetics now, because we're talking about building, you know, this guy says, building out the app, right? You have your abdominal muscles, and then you have your internal and external blake. So those are the main aesthetic portions of the core when people are talking about having a nice six pack
Starting point is 00:58:49 in midsection, right? So let's talk about the abs for a second. When you look at where the abs attach, the lower ribcage and your pelvis, when they contract, they flex you at your lumbar spine. So if you look at your back, if you look at a side of somebody standing up straight, they will round the lower back when they contract. And when they stretch, they extend the lower back. That's
Starting point is 00:59:13 where the, that's where you bend when you're working your abs. Not the hips. So just because you're bending forward in an exercise, like you're doing sit-ups and you're bending forward, if you're not flexing at the lumbar spine and you're just flexing at the hips, you're working the hip flexors. Now your abs may be stabilizing you, but you're not working them through a full range of motion. So first, understand that because a lot of times I'll take people through workouts and they'll say, okay, I want to build out my abs and I work out my core all the time, but I don't have visible abs. And I'll say, okay, let's look at your, how strong your actual abs are. And I'll put them on a phys's look at your, how strong your actual abs are.
Starting point is 00:59:45 And I'll put them on a physio ball. The reason why I put them on a physio ball is if you're getting the right position and you stabilize your hips, it encourages lumbar extension inflection because it's round, right? So you lower back on the top of the ball, you can wrap your,
Starting point is 00:59:58 you're low back over the top of the ball, and then you have to crunch over the ball while keeping your hips up. So you're not rocking on the ball. And I'll have people do that and with no resistance, they'll barely be able to get eight to 10 reps without any resistance because they're actually working
Starting point is 01:00:13 through this full range of motion. Oh, I love to teach the perfect setup and the visual of rolling the spine up, I think is what helped me learn how to pull your hip flexors out of the movement because it's just natural if you fold the body to want the hip flexors to kick in and help out. So I like to take somebody and put them on the floor. And by the way, we've done YouTube videos on all the things we're talking about, right?
Starting point is 01:00:43 So we've got a second ab section on the YouTube channel, on Mind Plum TV where we've actually addressed all this. And I believe you also wrote a free guide on the apps. So yeah, so a lot of this information we have already out there in detail for the person who's asking this question. But I personally love the perfect setup and getting somebody laying flat on the ground
Starting point is 01:01:04 with their knees bent, right? Like 45. And then first getting them to do a back press, right? So that right away starts to take the hips out. So just flatten your lower back against the floor. Right, right. You press your low back flat against and then you just roll the spine all the way up.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Way harder than it looks. Oh my God, it's hard. It's hard to do just a couple of those. You know, you do two or three of them. But that really just shows you like, you know, how weak your abdominals are and how much of when you do a lot of these other exercises that you are using momentum and hip flexors to contract. Or you're just stabilizing.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Like one of the most effective, yet most difficult to do properly exercises is the hanging leg raise. It's also the one that I see the most common one done wrong. Yeah. When I see people do leg raises in the gym, it's like all you're doing is you're working your hip flexors. You're adding up, I feel it in my abs. Yeah, because they're stabilizing your spine, but you're not working your abs through a full range of motion.
Starting point is 01:01:55 When you do a real leg raise, that is a long lever, full reverse crunch. And that is a lot of resistance. If your legs are a lot of resistance, especially when you stretch them straight out when you don't have your knees bent. So like for me, for example, even at my peak when I was really hitting my abs hard, I would be able to do maybe 12 full reps max
Starting point is 01:02:17 of a leg raise. And I know people who do, oh, I do knee tucks and leg raises. I'll do like 30 of them. It's like, no, no, no, no, let me watch your form. Like if you do it properly, with the way a leg raise should look, is your legs, obviously, you're straight, right? You're straight up and down at first.
Starting point is 01:02:31 You're bringing your legs up, but then you're tucking your tailbone and you're curving your low back. You're literally rounding your body at the top while maintaining straight legs. You can't do that unless you're really, really, really strong. So if you're just getting into trying to build your abs, you're probably not going to be able to do that.
Starting point is 01:02:47 In fact, I would have you start with a regular reverse crunch on a flat bench where you tuck your legs and just roll your butt up off the bench. With your legs tucked, by the way, don't shoot your legs straight up in the air, kick your legs behind your head because you're just using momentum. Roll back and then roll back down and see what happens. So my favorite, for me personally, what really built my abs out the most were the hanging leg raises done properly. And then just good old fashioned Roman chair sit-ups
Starting point is 01:03:13 with towards the end when I got really strong, I was able to put a 25 or a 45 across my chest. And I would tuck my tailbone at the top, squeeze my abs, so now I'm in that kind of that lumbar flex position. And then I'd slowly the top, squeeze my abs, so now I'm in that kind of that lumbar flex position. And then I'd slowly roll back, extend my back, and then roll my way up, and man, that made my abs. I like that exercise.
Starting point is 01:03:34 That's probably one of my top ones too, because what I like about that is that you teach people to start in this kind of round, I could put you in that position, in this rounded position first, and teach put you in that position in this like rounded position first and teach you, like, you know, squeeze your abs, stay around it. Now I want you to slowly open up. And they'll come a point when you're slowly opening up.
Starting point is 01:03:53 If you take your time really slow, where you feel it, go from your abs to now you're low back in your hip flex, especially when you start to let go. And that's where you kind of cue them to close back up. So I think that is a great exercise to teach somebody.
Starting point is 01:04:07 Again, I think it's another YouTube video that you've done on this. The other one too is, let's talk about planks for a second. I love planks is a good stabilization exercise, but a lot of people, if you're trying to hit your abs with them, a lot of people aren't really doing them the right way.
Starting point is 01:04:21 When you're in the top of a plank, you want to tuck your tailbone. You don't want to have this arch in your low back. You see a lot of people do a plank and they have this arch in their low back where the butt's kind of sticking up a little bit. No, no. Tuck your tailbone and crunch your abs, now hold the plank and that's where you start to feel in your abs. Then if you want to take it a step further, you do what are called active planks, which are an excellent ab building exercise. When an active plank is, you start at the top of a plank with your tailbone tucked, and then while keeping your upper body
Starting point is 01:04:50 positioned up above your elbows, slowly lower your hips until they lay down on the floor, relax. And when you relax on the floor, you're going to go into this natural back arch position, and then pick your hips back up and then tuck your tailbone again at the top. So you're making reps out of it. You're making reps out of it and you're really, and I mean, there's a lot of people that are like,
Starting point is 01:05:09 oh, I don't wanna work out my abs or my obliques and I'm afraid of getting a bigger waist. Don't worry about that, that's so silly. Very few people can build muscles that big to where their waist is big because they have such big core muscles. Very rarely, I mean, I can probably count on, maybe two fingers people, I've actually seen where I'm like,
Starting point is 01:05:27 whoa, those are abs, it might be a little too big for your body, but it's almost never happened. All that it ever happens is you end up getting looking just defined. Now, I mean, let's talk about athletics for a second. Let's talk about the obliques. Yeah, they're huge for stabilizing all those forces. I mean, it's crucial for you to build your obliques.
Starting point is 01:05:48 So you have the, the ability to rotate and, and to be able to cut laterally and be able to stabilize it. So for me, that, that's what's always challenging for me is when I hear from the aesthetic world, things like trying to, you know to shrink down the waist and taper everything in and it's too blocking, too blocking. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me because what my view of the human body is this beautiful performance machine. My abilities enhance because of what I'm doing
Starting point is 01:06:23 in the gym as opposed to me just trying to like, conform my body into a certain type of a look. But, yeah, so obliques are, I mean, they're a vital component to, if I go into deadlifting, if I go into squatting, like it's all these other factors of stabilizing the spine is just, it's going to enhance that process, like 10 fold. Yeah, the whole super tiny waist, super wide shoulder look for bodybuilding is an exaggerated perverted version
Starting point is 01:06:55 of what we deemed to be attractive, which is healthy, which is if you have a natural strong body and you're naturally lean, your waist will be smaller because that's where men carry body fat. So if you're lean, there's no fat there. And if you're muscular, you're naturally lean, your waist will be smaller because that's where man carry body fat. So if you're lean, there's no fat there. And if you're muscular, you'll probably have muscular shoulders and back. And so you'll have what's called a V-taper.
Starting point is 01:07:12 But bodybuilding and physique competition, they've perverted that to make it so extreme to where it may look good on stage, but in real life, it may actually kind of look kind of weird, right? It doesn't look like it. And when the goal be to get bigger shoulders, chest to promote that look, excuse me,
Starting point is 01:07:31 instead of trying to eliminate a blockier way. Look, it's no different than men find women with supple breasts attractive, right? So getting double D implants is a perversion of what we consider to be attractive. The reality is it's supposed to show youthfulness and, you know, fertility and all that stuff. And so it's the same thing with extreme small waste. I'm going to wear a squeam. I'm going to atrophy the muscles of my waist. And I'm going to balloon myself up with, you know, all this, you know, upper body muscle. And it's going to look kind
Starting point is 01:08:04 of crazy. The reality is a real life, if you're lean and you develop your midsection, you're gonna look really good. Like nobody's gonna be like, oh, you know what, you shouldn't be working at your obliques anymore because they're too developed. That's not gonna happen, men or women.
Starting point is 01:08:17 In fact, there's a lot of, one of the things about CrossFit that's been pretty interesting is this promotion of kind of this functionally strong looking women. I don't know, I use the word functional because they don't look like female bodybuilders, but they do look muscular. But all these women, if you'll notice, they show off their mid-sections
Starting point is 01:08:34 and they've got these nice developed abs and a bleak and the cool thing about it is women are really like, oh, I wanna look like that, you know? So it's pretty cool, but what do you see me favorite exercises for a bleak, Justin? Do you like just a side chop type stuff? Cause that's my favorite. Yeah, I do.
Starting point is 01:08:48 I do. I love side chops. I love even if I'm just trying to stabilize and I'm doing suitcase carries with kettlebells and there it is. You know, I love doing those types of things where unilaterally I can challenge the obliques. But yeah, in terms of like trying to do like some of the, what do you call
Starting point is 01:09:07 that one that the sort of like teeter totter, like left to right, like I kind of avoid that very specific. It's like a few well exercised more than it's. No, this quad university guy actually just did a great little post on that. Yeah, he compared that versus the suitcase carry and just how, yeah, how superior the suitcase carry is to. I like that. Yeah, I like the side chops is to. I like that guy.
Starting point is 01:09:25 I like the side chops and the downward chops. And then you shop some of the favorite. And then you send mine rotation stuff as well. Oh man. Oh man. Danny just did a great YouTube on this. And he did some variations with it I really liked. So you want a good little oblique routine.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Man, go check out that video he just did. Next question is from Custom Concern 15. What do you think of people who say glute bridges are the number one compound lift? Oh my God. This is a result of all the great information that Brett Contreras has been putting out. And I think that, I think it's in great information
Starting point is 01:10:03 that he's providing. And I think that he's completely, I mean, changed the way people have been exercising in the gym. I mean, when was the last time you guys went to the gym and not seen somebody do a hip thrust or a floor bridge and that is the result of that man. I mean, he literally...
Starting point is 01:10:20 You never saw anybody. No, especially men. Yeah, he has literally just changed how many, many people exercise and work out. And for the better, I think for the most part, I really think that it's an incredible movement for somebody who's trying to build glutes, especially if they, especially if you have a challenge, if you're not very good at squatting. So I do think it's a great complement to the other superior compound lifts,
Starting point is 01:10:49 like squatting and deadlifting in my opinion. I laugh at it when you try and say it's the number one compound lift because it's not. This isn't a debate, it's not the number one compound lift. The skill set that it takes to squat or deadlift is far greater. And if the skill set that it takes to squatter deadlift is far greater. And if the skill is higher, the rewards are going to be higher, the carryover is going to be higher, the benefits that you get from the movement.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Now, can you make the argument, and this is the argument I know that Brett makes with glute bridges is that it's the best lift for your butt, specifically just for your butt. And there's an argument there that you can make, but if we're just comparing straight up what's the best compound lift, no, it's not. Yeah, they're just trying to eliminate risk is how I look at it for glute development. And there's always been this argument
Starting point is 01:11:42 of like compressive forces on the spine and trying to really see whether or not the squad is the king of all the exercises versus, maybe even like unilateral training, for instance, like some people think that unilateral trainings the best way to go. And I mean, you could build up a case in an argument for all these things,
Starting point is 01:12:04 but in terms of compound exercises, I mean, compound like squat, it's really hard for me to listen to anybody that doesn't, that argues against the backloaded squat. Yeah, is there any, I mean, is there any more foundational human movement than being able to squat? If you go out the carryover that has in the rest of your life. Well, that's why it, that's why it, there's not even an argument that this is a better win in your life. Will you ever ever be laying down on your back with your knees bent at 45 degrees
Starting point is 01:12:35 and have to lift 400 pounds off of you? Win. Tell the timing. I'm telling you, just a win. It's a real win. Real will. Never, ever, ever will that happen in your life? So, so it is not the number one. For me, it's for something to be the number one, it has to have, it has to have some, some definite points
Starting point is 01:12:53 towards functional. And just because it's addressing the posterior chain, because I know that's a debate that somebody on our forum, like a year ago, got into this with me. You remember that? We went on that, we went back and forth on this little bit, smart kid too. And tried to argue that the hip thrust is the most functional movement that you could do. So I've heard the most functional. Now I'm hearing the number one compound lift. It's not a...
Starting point is 01:13:15 I have a scenario for you, okay? Let's re-enact this. So a car runs you over, but just your lower body. And it's life or death death you have to get out and so hip thrusting It off of you. No, I just don't think you're breaking chairs for that one. Yeah, no You can't come look at a barbell squat also works the posterior chain It also works a lot of the anterior chain which the glute bridge does not you hit very little of the anterior chain With the glute bridge that's referring to the muscles the front side of the anterior chain, which the glute bridge does, not, you hit very little of the anterior chain with the glute bridge, that's referring to the muscles
Starting point is 01:13:47 the front side of the body. How important are the quads to overall function, overall human function? Oh, very important. They're extremely, they're some of the largest muscles of your body. They're extremely important, probably as important, maybe slightly less important than maybe your glutes or hips, but they're extremely important, probably as important, maybe slightly as important
Starting point is 01:14:05 than maybe your glutes or hips, but they're still way up there if not at the same level. And so if you're just going to glute bridge, you're not going to get very developed quads, you're not going to have a good, and also positioning of a barbell squat with the thoracic mobility shoulder position. And there's no comparison. It's definitely not the number one compound lift. Well, the reason why it's not is if you are going not the number one compound lift. Well the reason and another reason Why it's not is if you are gonna only do one or the other for the rest of your life one of them actually you can get away with
Starting point is 01:14:32 Squatting I mean if you were to if I were to do a one lower body movement and I couldn't do any other Oh easy squat and we had to pick one and only one. That's all you get It doesn't even come close. No, it doesn't. No. It's a good exercise, but if I were to list the top five compound movements, you'd be like barbell squat, deadlift, overhead press, those probably your top three bench press would be in there, maybe a row would be in there, that's five.
Starting point is 01:15:03 I'd say glute bridge would make top eight maybe, maybe top 10, but I don't a row would be in there, that's five. I mean, I'd say glute bridge would make top eight, maybe, maybe top 10, but I don't think it would be top five, definitely not top four. Definitely not one. No, and definitely not one. But it's a great movement. So I think it's important, it's like anything else, right? We, it wasn't around just 10 years ago pretty much, right?
Starting point is 01:15:21 It just really didn't exist. Not at the level that's been pushed now. And I think it's incredible. I mean I it's just gained popularity. I mean I make Katrina do them all the time. Any client of mine that ever wants to build their butt. They're it. You're doing it. Yeah. What's today's workout? Blue bridges. That's all we're doing. Blue bridges. Pimperous. That's it. No, I mean it's it's it's an incredible movement. It's it is. I don't want to sound like we're shitting on the movement, but it's what happens when something new, it's novelty, right?
Starting point is 01:15:50 We just love it. It's new, everyone's doing it now. It's just, don't you wish you were the guy, because he's like forever the guy that is the hip thrust guy, right, forever, right? But what if you were the squat guy, like what if nobody ever squatted, and you're like, do you check out the second,
Starting point is 01:16:03 you start teaching people, you'd be like the The trainer of all time right you're introduced to squat beyond the Mount Rushmore for sure Next question is from Tracy Lovale thoughts on unsolicited gym advice. Hmm. You guys ever get this? Of course you did yeah, you still always get this people just come up to you to start I mean, I don't get it now, but I used to get it a lot. Yeah, especially as a young trainer as a young trainer, I used to, I used to fucking hate it when somebody would do this when I was with a client. You ever get that? Oh, you ever get some fucking old guy who's been in the gym for 30 years or something? I heard her knees. Yeah, right? Then he comes over and tries to coach you.
Starting point is 01:16:38 I've heard that easy guy. You see weight belt cable guy. Come over. It's weight building. It is. It's that guy. It is. He's in a tank top. He's got a weight belt on. And he's swinging his arms doing cable curls. Coming over, telling me my single leg toe touch is going to hurt my client. So funny. Dude, you just said that I kick. I kick someone out for doing that. I always around. I actually kicked out a guy out of the gym for doing that. Right. A bait weight belt old guy, belly dude around and he kept he kept going up to my trainers
Starting point is 01:17:09 While they were with clients that guy and he was giving every gym has that guy Yeah, and I went up to him and I pulled him aside and I'm like listen, I said I know you you feel like you need to give people advice, but please don't approach my trainers while they're with clients Because it doesn't look good for them. He's like, well, they're doing everything wrong. I'm like, well, if you do it again, I'm going to kick you out. And he did it again and I kicked him out. And you've been a member forever, which is hilarious.
Starting point is 01:17:33 Yeah, no, I don't like an unsolicited advice given to me and nor do I like to give it to other people. In fact, I remember to be a trainer and I'd have clients come to me or people come to me on the gym that knew I was a trainer And if they saw somebody doing an exercise wrong or they would come over and be like how come you don't go talk to her or tell her that or go tell them that and just You know there there's a right way and a wrong way to do this and I really feel like you have as a as a trainer you have to learn To to pick up on the signals that somebody is looking for help. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:07 Social cues. Yeah, there are. And to me, because I've been doing this for a very long time, it's very obvious. There's been looking around. Yeah, they're looking around. They're reading the machine. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:18:18 Like they have this, they look up in the sky, puzzled look after they do something. It's a very obvious. Please come up with 45s on them. And then they're like, no. And they get a lot of potential. It's a very obvious, please come out. It put 45s on there and then they're like, no, and then they get a lot of potential. There's a lot of great signs. It says, this person is not gonna be offended
Starting point is 01:18:31 by me walking over and saying, hey, sir, or ma'am, can I help you? Or would you like me to show you how to use that? Those people don't mind, but the chick or the dude with his headphones on that's getting after their workout, sure shit don't want some fucking young kid walking over tapping on the shoulder in the middle of a set telling them how better question is, has that ever worked? Giving someone advice.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Yeah, like somebody is like, thank you. No, I was doing that wrong. Not unsolicited when it's when it's like when it's like that, it most people have puts a bad taste in their mouth. Plus, and this is just in communication period, you're not gonna ever get a win and argument, you're never gonna get your point across until the person you're communicating the information
Starting point is 01:19:13 is willing to receive that. And if they're not in that place to receive it or asking for help, you're really only feeding your own ego to go do that. So it's almost always that guy, you know, like the visual that I gave everybody, it's that guy who is full of himself or wants to feed his own ego and his insecure
Starting point is 01:19:33 and that needs to come over and feel important to tell. We were doing that balancing shit in my day. Yeah, then once it come over and tell somebody what to do. So this is when I start to feel bad for some women in the gym because this is a way for, I've seen in my experience, this is where I see guys trying to flirt with girls. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:52 You know, they go up to them, hey, let me show you how to do this. That exercise properly, young lady. Yeah, yeah, yeah, smooth move. And then the real cute smart girl goes like, oh, I'm gonna get some free training right here. Yeah, or I can meet you on Tuesdays at five o'clock and make how many of those guys have you met today?
Starting point is 01:20:06 Well, I've just seen the idiot in the gym, also try to help girls. And he has no idea what the hell he's doing, which always cracks me up. I actually had somebody early in the early days of maps and a ballacle when we first launched it. This might even been before Mind Pump. I don't remember, it's like we sold
Starting point is 01:20:23 really sold a few programs, but a young lady was following the program and was doing shoulder presses, phase one, heavy. And some guy comes up to her in the gym and she had headphones on and everything. He comes up to her and he's like, we's waving at her and she takes the headphone like halfway through her set and he's like,
Starting point is 01:20:40 you shouldn't be lifting heavy for your shoulders. You don't need to train your shoulders, just focus on your, and he's like, tell me what to work on, on her body. And she was like a Paul, and she was in our forum early days, and she was writing about it. And I'm like, did you have headphones on? Were you looking at him?
Starting point is 01:20:55 She's like, no, I was looking straight ahead. Look at what a piece of shit. You know what I mean? He's just trying to flirt with you right now. No, that's probably the most common thing. You know what I think. That's gotta be the most common. And I do feel for girls that do go through this because I think every gym has multiple guys and a lot of trainers are guilty of this. A lot of male trainers that used to work
Starting point is 01:21:15 for me were, and it's not to say that women can't possibly do this. It's a male dominated space and a lot of guys have done this that work. It's probably easier for a female trainer to approach guys than it is. Unless it's a Zego, you're hitting. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, no, I don't know. Yeah, no, that's a tough one. I think it's probably for a female trainer to approach a male
Starting point is 01:21:34 in the gym to give them advice. That's actually true because it's their ego, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. That looks like it's too heavy for you. Yeah. You need some help? What? Oh.
Starting point is 01:21:44 I, you know, on this note, I will say this, if you need help in the gym and you're working out and you see someone who looks like they know what they're doing and they're fit and all that stuff, nine out of 10 times, it'd be more than happy to help you. If this has always been my experience, and it's funny because the fit, muscular people in the gym who really look like they know what they're doing,
Starting point is 01:22:04 they look intimidating many times, but when I was a kid, I'm the nicest people sometimes. I mean, even when I'm in my workout and I'm in a hurry and I'm in the gym, if somebody's honestly asking me a question and needs some help, I have no problem devoting five minutes of my time to help them out. Well, what people need to understand, it's actually a very nice compliment. If you've worked at your craft, you've got great form, you got a great physique, and someone comes up and asks for your opinion,
Starting point is 01:22:30 there's a, and they don't know who you are, that's a compliment. They look at you, you look like the fuck you know what you're doing, so I'm coming over to ask you, most people are not asked about that. And so to your point, Sal, this is how I think advice should be given in the gym is that it should it should be less of people giving people advice and it should be the people that need the Vice should be more comfortable with asking ask people and not be afraid to approach some of these people that look quote unquote like
Starting point is 01:22:58 the head and that we stereo we stereotype these poor guys that they are intimidating and they're fool themselves. Nice as people you'll ever run to. Yeah, do you guys? Some of the most hardcore, filthy, bodybuilding dungeon gyms I've ever been in, as a kid, I go up to them and you ask them questions and they will all help you. Some of the best advice I got early on as a young lifter.
Starting point is 01:23:22 I was a kid, man, I was like 14 or 15, maybe 15 years old. Fucking group of power lifters in this squat cage. Squat and hell of a wait. These guys were all probably in the 30s and 40s, older guys, Jack, and I'm watching them, and I'm working up the courage. And they're grunting and yelling and slapping each other. And I'm like, oh my God, I'm gonna ask them for help.
Starting point is 01:23:40 And one of them's gonna kill me, as I was also intimidated. But I worked up the courage one up there. And those fuckers, they spent, they actually took me through a workout and they helped me out and showed me what to do and forever changed, you know, how I lift the weights. That's the ironic part.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Like it's funny because most of the intimidation, especially with women too, like some of these other gyms that are kind of dirty and you see people that are like, in there just about themselves and doing work and Putting it in that's honestly where you're gonna get harassed the least You know as opposed to these other like Big box commercial gyms where everybody's in there. It's like this meat market everybody's you know like harassing and flirting and doing all this nonsense if you're walking up to ask
Starting point is 01:24:24 And and of course I'm saying this, there's always an exception to the rule, but I mean, I'd be willing to bet quite a bit of money that you won't run into a problem with somebody like this because I can't think of ever meeting somebody who has an incredible physique. Like if you can just, you look at somebody you can tell that person has put probably years into their craft
Starting point is 01:24:42 to look this way and a lot of discipline and consistency. And you asked him a question about something in the gym. I've never met one of those people to be rude at all. I've met a lot of rude people in the gym. For sure. A lot of rude people. And a lot of people I want to throw through the window. It's never the guy or the girl that is jacked
Starting point is 01:25:02 and looks like they've been lifting every single day for the last five years. It's because they respect. Yes. It's just like what Justin was saying. It's like their church. You know what I'm saying? And it's literally like somebody who is a part of congregation and and respect that area so much. And a new person comes in. And they know how hard it is to get from where you are to where they are. Exactly. And they are not, they're not field, they don't feel competitive with you, they don't feel like you're, at all your, it's more like, man, I really hope this, because they know the failure rate.
Starting point is 01:25:37 They know that there's a very high chance you will never get there, and they're not ones to say, ah, you couldn't get to this. They're more like, let me give you some help and tips. I'm telling you, some of the most amazing respectful places you'll ever go are these old school dungeons with these hardcore lifters. You'll go in there, you'll see the old guys and their 50s and 60s who are revered as gods
Starting point is 01:25:59 just because they've been lifting forever. Like everybody respects them. Then you've got the young kids coming in that everybody's kind of helping out. You've got the girls that come in there, and all the dudes are like big brothers to her. I mean, it's just a great environment, and it is, it's just because they respect the craft so much.
Starting point is 01:26:15 And so if you need help and you see some of these people that look really fit, they've been doing it for a long time, they've got good form. I, nine at a 10 times, if not ten at a ten times. If you go up to them and say, hey, do you have a second? I have a question you look like you know what you're doing. Would you mind helping me on something? Watch what happens. Right. Next question is from Jake Fricky. What is a good starting point for a complete newbie wanting to learn about entrepreneurship, books, websites, etc. Hmm. Good place to start. Just start doing it.
Starting point is 01:26:46 Yeah, I mean, there's just so much to cover. Like, I don't know that like a very specific book had that much impact other than like experience, but I know there's a lot of books in this direction. There's a lot of gurus in this direction. And there's just a lot of different paths that you can take with it. And again, there's the process lot of different paths that you can take with it. And again, there's the process too of paralysis by analysis.
Starting point is 01:27:09 I think if I was to give myself any advice was to just get going, like get going even earlier than I did just to really like learn and hone in on what it takes to actually keep it going. This is actually similar to the last question, at least to how we ended it off. I think the most valuable thing you could do if you wanna learn about entrepreneurship is to offer your services for free
Starting point is 01:27:36 to another entrepreneur who is willing to mentor you. Literally tell them, I will do whatever you want. I'll shadow, if you could just let me shadow you and just watch what you're doing. I'll help you out to be kind of a free intern and to value that observe and to value, fucking value that mentorship. Okay. I can't tell you this enough. If a kid comes to me and says, I want to be an entrepreneur, I'll work for free. I'll do it. Just let me hang around and be around you. I'm gonna want to help this kid out. If I got a kid who comes up and
Starting point is 01:28:01 is like, Hey, I want to learn from you, but I want you to pay me. Part of me is going to be a little bit less like, okay, a little less enthusiastic about it. So the entrepreneurs, successful ones really love help another people out. And I can't think of a better way to learn how to be an entrepreneur than than having a mentor, like shadowing someone, shadowing a mentor and watching them. Yeah. And to Justin's point to just getting out there and failing. I mean, to be honest, I mean, Gary Vase says this really well. Like, you know, you point to just getting out there and failing, I mean, to be honest,
Starting point is 01:28:25 I mean, Gary Vase says this really well, like, you need to eat shit for eight to nine years. Okay, that's about right. And it's true. I mean, I think it's very rarely ever. I mean, personally, I don't know a single entrepreneur that hit it out the park their first time, their second time, or probably even their first three or five times.
Starting point is 01:28:44 I mean, most people that are really, really successful that we all look up to and we read all their books and we aspire to be like them. Most all of them failed, you know, 10 to 50 times before that. So I really think that part of it is repetition. Now, I can give you some really good books, books that impact me along my journey. One of the best books that I recommend to people is Jack Welch's winning. That's a really good business book. I love anything related to leadership because I think being a successful entrepreneurship requires you to be a great leader. Even if you're only leading yourself, I still think, and that's why I love to start people with John C. Maxwell's developing the leader within, and then there's a follow-up book to that, developing the leaders around you. I think you're great. I think one-minute managers, a one-day
Starting point is 01:29:39 read that I always recommend to people. I think that's a great read. And then anything on like, on failure, and I can't draw on a blank right now on a good book, and I know I've read several along that line. And I think- I was reinventing yourself was a good one. Oh, there you go. Re-work, that's another- Re-work is a good book.
Starting point is 01:30:00 I love a lot of the information. I know the boys are not as big a fan as I am of Gary Vee's stuff, but I think Gary Vee puts out a lot of relevant stuff today. I think building a business today, I mean, no, I like his mentality of what you can control. So if you have things, you can sell those things. You have to do the mundane things in order to build something.
Starting point is 01:30:24 Right. Yeah, like you can't avoid the mundane things in order to build something. Right. Yeah, like you can't avoid the mundane side of business. Like you have to really just dig yourself in. And each shit, as he says, I do agree with that 100%. And there's times of going through the process. I think the books themselves will reveal themselves to you of where you are in the stage of your entrepreneurship. will reveal themselves to you of where you are in the stage of your entrepreneurship.
Starting point is 01:30:52 And like for me, E-Mith was huge for me just to understand like where I was as a technician. Like I was like so involved in my business and like trying to structure my business personally to work for myself, but how do I pull myself out of that? I had no idea. You know, it's another good thing you could do to learn how to be a good entrepreneur is to work in a corporation, move yourself up to management so you can learn how to manage people. They have systems already in place, so it's a great way, like with training wheels, so you can kind of learn what it means to run a business. And also to do a sales job and learn how to be good at a sales job.
Starting point is 01:31:20 I think that those skills will benefit anybody, but will definitely benefit an entrepreneur because one thing that sales teaches you is how to deal with failure. I mean, if you're especially a job with a high, a high, a fast sales process, like selling cars or the fastest sales process was like selling gym membership, for example, you're going to learn how to deal with a lot of no. You're going to learn how to deal with a lot of failure because you're going to be swinging the bat quite a bit. If you get good at that and good at dealing with that, it's going to set you up for dealing with what I consider the most challenging thing with starting a business which is failure.
Starting point is 01:32:00 Not necessarily failure that your idea may completely fail, but the fact that how you think it may have worked might have to completely change. And for some people that feels like failure, like they have this dream of, this is what my product's gonna look like, this is what I'm gonna sell it. And they realize like, okay,
Starting point is 01:32:15 it's not gonna look anything like that. I'm gonna have to move in this direction. And you gotta be able to deal with that. It's a big flexible. You gotta be able to deal with it. Well, I'm gonna be frank with you too, Jake. I think, you know, you gotta to learn to ask better questions too. And to Sal's point about having a mentor or following somebody around that has a successful
Starting point is 01:32:32 business, I think one of the biggest pet peeves that I've had, I've mentor a lot of trainers that used to work for me and people that I'm connected to. And one of the things that frustrates me the most is that they don't ask. Like, I'm an open book. One of the things that I've always promised that I will give every bit of information and knowledge that I have, I don't have a scarcity of minds that I'm not afraid of you taking all that I've learned
Starting point is 01:32:56 and compounding and surpassing me, whatever I did. So you just got to ask. And I'm surrounded by young minds a lot that are with me on a very regular basis. And they all are talking about how they want to be these great entrepreneurs. And then they don't even ask me certain questions. And I think like you have this resource in front of you.
Starting point is 01:33:18 And it just blows my mind that for some reason that people just fail to ask, like learn to ask question and be specific, like this is a very vague question, like where do I start, complete newbie to learn entrepreneurship? Well, fuck, I don't know where you're at, where you struggle, because I know I listed a bunch of books, but if you're the type of person who struggles with self-discipline, I have a different book for that person.
Starting point is 01:33:42 If you're somebody who has terrible organization skills Then I have a book for that person like if if you don't or you don't even have an idea like start with why there's a great book Like if you don't even know your why or purpose of what you're trying to build There's a there's a great book we didn't even mention so the when I recommend books I normally recommend books to people based off of where I think they need the most help and the only way you're gonna Get through to someone like us on on Q&A like this is asking very specific questions about the business. Like, you know, maybe you're not somebody
Starting point is 01:34:11 who understands the back end of everything that goes on at MindPump, but fucking ask a question. You know, ask a question that's related to that that we can answer and say like, well, this is how we set that up or who we have working that side of the house. This is what they do. This have working that side of the house.
Starting point is 01:34:25 This is what they do. This is what it does for the business. This is how important it's been to the business. Like, so if you can surround yourself with successful people and then you can learn to ask the right questions, I mean, much of my success has come from that was surrounding myself with great minds and very successful people and not being afraid to ask very direct straight questions. What's the worst they're going to tell you is no.
Starting point is 01:34:50 I don't want to tell you that. And fuck that guy or girl. You know what I'm saying? They don't want to tell you that. Like, I'm not that person. You could ask me anything and I'll tell you. But to me, that when people ask these very vague questions, it's like you got to learn how to ask the right questions
Starting point is 01:35:05 that are going to truly help your vision or your goals or what it is that you're trying to aspire to be or do. And the better that you get at asking your questions, then the better you're going to be as an entrepreneur. And then if you can learn to surround yourself with as many successful people in entrepreneurship and ask the right questions, shit, I mean, you'd be surprised what you'll get for that.
Starting point is 01:35:29 What I think is cool about this is entrepreneurship seems to be on the upswing, or at least the talk around it seems to be on the upswing. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. Well, I think it's cool. I do. I really think it's cool because forget about the fact it was whether or not, I mean, if you throw some fucking ass shots up
Starting point is 01:35:44 and you have 10,000 followers, everybody's an entrepreneur now. It reminds me of like the we're gonna qualify with, yeah. You're gonna say, and you have free. I own a business. Three companies you're affiliated with and you make 10% commission
Starting point is 01:35:55 and it comes out to be maybe 800 bucks. I'm a monovirap. Call yourself an entrepreneur. Yeah, I sell amway, so I'm an entrepreneur. But I like that there's a lot more respect around entrepreneurship It seems today than there used to be it's it's becoming more of a and I like that I like that because entrepreneurs that's funny you say that because I disagree you think there's less respect
Starting point is 01:36:14 I think there's less respect. I think it's they I think the more I think the last I think a lot of people bastardized the name I think it's become Everybody's now like like I don't say if someone asked me what I do I most certainly don't say entrepreneur if I say entrepreneur then someone goes like oh you're unemployed Yeah, you know that that's what that you're like an artist. Yeah, that's what it seems like it's become that now to me Because yeah, I could see that too because so many people Call themselves that because they have somewhat of a following on social media and then they've now have somewhat of a following on social media and then they now have allowed these companies
Starting point is 01:36:45 to take advantage of their small following and they sell their products for a percentage of money, which is normally next to nothing. I see that too, but I also see the side of, if it sparks, if it gives someone enough courage to go that route, but then figure out that they need to take another step, I like that, because-
Starting point is 01:37:02 That's fair. You know, because on take that. Yeah, because entrepreneurs, the ones that shake things, are the ones that move things, were the ones that employ people and create new industries in America was built on there. And it's still, I mean, the tech industry is, which is driving the world now,
Starting point is 01:37:15 and the age of information is driven by entrepreneurs. And so I think this is a, I don't think everybody's built to be an entrepreneur. I'm not saying that, I think most people are not, but we need people to be the ones that have the courage to risk their capital to do this crazy shit. I mean, it's their capital, let them risk it, but the fact that they're willing to do so, I mean, there's people who, I know people who have successful businesses who didn't make a dime for five years. So they risked all their capital for five years
Starting point is 01:37:48 to finally be able to make a profit and employ all these people. Imagine if they were afraid and they said, no, I have to make money. I can't not make money for five years. Then all those jobs and all those amazing opportunities when it exists. So I think it's a, I think it's one of the first questions
Starting point is 01:38:01 that Shark Tank guys ask after. They ask the people of their revenue. One of the first questions, almost always Mark Cuban or one of the first questions that Shark Tank guys ask after they ask the people of their revenue. One of the first questions, almost always Mark Cuban or one of the other sharks from Shark Tank, always follow up and ask, which is a great show to watch. But that follow up and ask is, you know, they, they, they, they first ask, well, would your company make this last year and you go, oh, it made, you know, 1.5 million or whatever. The very next question they want to know is how much of that did you pay yourself? And you can just see them roll their eyes when you have taken 80% or more of the income that the company has made.
Starting point is 01:38:29 Because they just know that's not, you're not building a solid foundation for a business long term by every, by cashing in, by taking all the money. It's the, those that think of it at long term typically take a, a significant, you're not building a paycheck, you're building a company. That's the thing, that all that stuff comes later. You have to build something that's going to have staying power. Exactly, and with that, go to mindpumpfree.com and check out our free guides.
