Painkiller Nearly, episode 221.
We heard your concerns, and we're willing to spend the whole time talking about fitness,
if need be.
And so we'll make sure to do that for every PK between now and the end of the contest.
Yes, yes.
We should go well into December, I hope.
Who knows?
Maybe after month one we go, God damn, I feel fit.
Let's make this a six month thing.
And then by the end it'll be us and like
four people who like fitness.
Taylor,
I didn't see you say it, but I guess
the fans did. Did you tweet or something
that you found a house you liked?
You're close to closing? What did you tell the world?
I'm not close to closing or anything. I was saying
I'm putting a contract on a few of them.
A few of them?
Yeah.
Is that how that works?
Yeah. You can put a contract on multiple
homes at the same time.
At any time, you can have an inspector
go in there and then quit.
They don't even have to you know then they don't
have to find anything if you don't want to you just you know so i've been like sending some low
ball offers to houses that i like just kind of trying to get especially ones that have been on
the market for like 60 plus days seeing like you know most of the time what i've found is like
well first of all this is a really fun process and also really fucking stressful because it's
the biggest purchase i've ever made in my life.
And so like it's crazy looking for houses how every three days there's like a new one that you're like, all right, we're going to get this one now.
Like this is it because like I pursued like a couple till the very end, like a week or two ago.
And then it was like, oh, well, turns out there was a reason that you were getting such a good steel because it has aluminum wiring.
And I'm like, all right, well, I'm not buying a home with aluminum wiring.
I'm going to pay like four times as much in insurance costs.
And these people aren't going to fucking put $35,000 wiring costs into it.
And so it's like, all right, well, see you later.
Best of luck.
And so that's kind of like an aggravating part with it that it feels like you're like imagining all the stuff you'll do with the house.
And then you get one block further and you go,
oh, all right, well, never mind.
I guess I didn't want it that bad anyway with all the wiring issues.
But I'm really liking it.
I found a couple now that I'm looking at this weekend again.
The one I was talking about a couple days ago,
put a contract on it, sent an offer in,
and they made a counteroff that was frankly ridiculous and it
was like all right well enjoy sitting on the house for a while maybe i'll come back but because
like you come in with like a low ballish offer and they're like all right i'll move 250 dollars
and see where he goes from there like yes i'm gonna take off yeah i'll take three grand off
and it's like all right well you can eat shit like no no not doing that with you but yeah I've been on both
sides of that whole thing
the selling and the buying
when we were selling that last house
it was I don't know if I ever
talked about this but it was the most stressful
thing ever because these
motherfuckers at the end of my
driveway bought like
the three acres next to my driveway
and built up and started building a fish restaurant oh no yes yes and and and my driveway
is very long i don't technically own the driveway you know i've got like what do you call it when
you've got the right to pass through someone else's land just right of way right of whatever
yeah and um i own like the four or five acres
yeah so they literally set up a fish restaurant between that house and the road
lucky joe's chum bucket but basically like you could turn out of my driveway into the fish
restaurant that's how close it is and you mean that so i've been to this house and visually
you would think that that property was Kyle's.
You would think it, just the way it fits.
No.
I've got the five acres in the woods.
So that field in the front wasn't mine.
So if you're coming down my driveway heading toward the house, the part on the right, like on on your right that's what they purchased and they
start bulldozing and grading and putting in like gravel driveways everywhere and then there's a
concrete pad and i'm i'm like i see the guy one day and he's like hey i'm your new neighbor and
i'm just like hi was this like right as you were trying to sell yes right as i'm trying to sell it like
construction is ongoing and so when when when like i don't remember i i whenever i was selling it
when they came back and they were only like i think i i think they were like forty thousand
dollars off what i said and then i came back and tried to get like another like met him in the middle so I came off my asking price by like
$20 I was just like
woohoo
let's see how fast we can get this paperwork
when we were in the lawyers office
signing things I was
I have never signed
pieces of paper that fucking fast
cause you know there was a guy pulling
the lever like pulling the sign for
Joe's Chum Bucket as you were signing it.
They knew about it. They knew about it. That was the thing.
Well, we love fish.
He could have got more out of us. He said that.
He said that. Well, we like fish.
That'll be nice. We will put our
own driveway in in the back, though,
you know, so we don't have to drive past. And I'm just
like, well, you're going to have a hard time.
Yeah, yeah, that'll be cool.
Yeah, yeah, you won't have an issue from the two property owners behind at all.
I'm sure you can get a driveway in.
Yeah, let's just these.
I was so happy.
I was so happy.
Because I was just like, I'm going to fucking lose money on this fucking house.
Somehow, the house that I bought during the the housing crash and now we're in an
economic like like upturn i'm gonna loot but but now made money so happy that that it all went well
it was it was terrifying because it was like i'm gonna lose a hundred thousand dollars here i'm
gonna sell this fucking house for for like nothing because there's going to be bootsies fish emporium down there and the the
you i don't they fry fish so there's going to be they're going to be dumping the oil the fish oil
in the back dumpsters it's going to stink out there like that nice hot tub out there in that
covered area enjoy that on a on a cool winter's evening smelling the catfish brine.
You let him keep your hot tub?
How do you move a hot tub?
Or was it a built-in hot tub?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My realtor called me like two days ago
and he actually called.
So I don't answer my phone for nothing.
It seems I get so much spam.
But anyway, he calls Jackie
and she's like,
and she gives his name.
I'm like, that's our realtor.
And she's like,
I already told him that I,
you know, that you were here.
So I talked to him for a bit and I'm homeschooling Colin.
So I'm kind of like trying to get off the phone.
But he's like, Woody, I have retold the story
of selling your house at least a dozen times now.
Would you come to my pumpkin pie,
like party that I'm throwing?
And dude, this guy invites me to things all the time, and I wanna be like,
I don't do that many real estate transactions.
There's been two in my life.
I'm 45, right?
Like, you're really gonna be-
Two of two have been completed.
You're gonna be primed in this pipe
till I'm 68 at this rate.
Like, this is really gonna be a while.
But, so what happened is my house we had a
seller or i'm sorry buyer back out and the second one nearly backed out because i'm on youtube and
they they like start googling it they find out who i am about the swat attacks that came to that
house there's like npr stories on it yeah yeah they're like all. And they're like, you know, things come in the mail.
And prospective buyers were just like, I don't want any part of this guy's house.
I don't want to be the new recipient of all this nonsense.
And he had to, like, I didn't realize how hard he was working to smooth over concerns
and fears.
Because, to me, this stuff is all semi-normal.
Like, oh, yeah, the SWAT team comes every
once in a while but yeah it's cool you're gonna make a big deal out of that but uh you know that
the buyers didn't like it sometimes so he just told the story again and again and he he really
would love for me to come to his pie party but now you get free pie out of it that's not my scene
so I don't I don't know I don't know when i wouldn't want to go hang out with a random real estate agent either you know i'm so green with the whole
real estate thing i didn't know like i was like doing a contract my agent the other day for one
of those homes and uh and as i was like walking through like there's still furniture and stuff
and like pool tables and ping pong tables and and stuff like that in the home that the people
haven't moved yet and uh my agent was like you know you can put anything in here as part of the contract that
you want to keep and i was like no yeah really and she was like yeah you can just walk around
and be like boom i like these i like those i like that and so i was like walking around these
people's house like and i want your pool table, and I want your fucking nice-ass sectional couch, and I want this, and I want your ping pong table, and that's an isolyptical.
I don't want to deal with buying my own.
I'll take that.
These Bowflex weights, I want those.
It's a really good deal, right?
The Bowflex weights, I'm assuming they're heavy.
They're weights, not like bending things.
They're the kind that you can adjust between 5 and 50 pounds, and they take up no space.
They're super, super nice. Actually, now that you mention adjust between 5 and 50 pounds. Right. And they take up no space. They're super, super nice.
Actually, now that you mention it, I looked into those pretty hardcore.
Things like that.
If they hire a mover to move them, it costs like three-quarters the price of the Bowflex weights.
The elliptical.
A lot of those.
Pool table.
Moving a pool table costs like a grand.
And there's special pool table installers that level it and break it down and stuff.
So we've done it with a refrigerator.
We had a buyer who was like, you know, we'll give you $450 for your refrigerator.
And I'm like, well, damn.
Refrigerator's only worth like $900.
So we're just putting – you're giving us like half a new one.
And the math doesn't seem to work out now.
But at the time, it seemed to make a lot of sense to be like, yeah, it's going us this much we were gonna like pay 450 to have a used one now we could pay 450 to have a
new one that was the thought process so uh um yeah so sometimes stuff like that is a win-win
for both parties i think i'm gonna go a little slower on it next time though instead of just
walking around being like man that's something i kind of like. Yeah, take it. That's a nice dog you have there.
That's a nice dog.
We had the smallest.
In the Apex house, there was some sort of hanging thing from the ceiling
over the island that held pots and pans.
We loved it.
My wife and I were both like, this is the coolest way to store pots and pans.
It was decorative and functional, and we wrote in there that we wanted to keep it.
I'm sure the sellers were like, it was decorative and functional. And we wrote in there that we wanted to keep it. And I'm sure the sellers were like, yeah, fine.
You know?
I was looking at some of the kitchen features.
You know those big magnets where you just keep your knives?
Like you slap them on there and stick them in there?
Oh, yeah, I'm aware of that, yeah.
There's one of those in there.
And I was like, well, I can buy my own knives.
But my first thought was like, man, that's cool as shit.
Like in the case of a home invasion, imagine that second that i save in seizing that knife instead of having to pull it out or it gets
tipped over that's a good point if there's a home invasion either you or the burglar will have a
knife on you that's true oh we'll probably both have not
what if you're just standing there like facing off of the burglar and you're like you know
nothing's happened yet you're just standing there, like, facing off with a burglar, and you're like, you know, nothing's happened yet. You can just leave.
I would be like, you know what, man?
I've seen Kill Bill 15 times.
Let's do this shit.
If I'm the burglar, I'm like.
My neighbors over there definitely are out of town.
Or you could leave.
Just saying.
Fair enough.
I'll be back in one hour?
How long does an average burglary take?
I'm sorry, this is my first time.
You've got your burgling sack there, but if that fills up, a couple laundry baskets over in the corner.
There's pillowcases on the bed.
If you could leave, I don't know the bow flex weights they're not worth
much to you but i leave them every day hey that guy's skull in with that other dude's bow flex
weights yeah uh yeah yeah i'm enjoying the hunting thing it's really fun it's fun to like here's the
imagine all the things you can do in there like i'm trying to figure out a way to do a projector and one of those 110-inch screens.
Because you know how in 2002,
a shit-tier plasma screen TV was expensive as shit?
I feel like that's what's happened in the last four or five years with projectors.
Because just like five years ago,
those HG projectors were like 20 grand or something insane.
And I hopped on Amazon and looked,
you can get like 4K,
really highly reviewed name brand projectors for like $5,000.
Less?
If not less.
Yeah.
So this is something I know about,
because we got a 4K projector two months ago,
and it was two grand.
Yeah.
Can you,
let me know.
We don't love it.
So maybe this isn't a great example.
Yeah. Here's my fear.
So I've been in the market for a new television for about three years now.
And I don't want to do something stupid, right?
So my requirements are 4K, got to be 4K.
I want it to be at least as big as what I have or bigger.
Which is huge.
It's 72.
The current one's 72.
It's a handful. And it's still excellent. I love it. It's 72. The current one's 72. It's a handful.
And it's still excellent.
I love it. It's 1080p though.
But when you're sitting at a certain
distance, I mean,
it doesn't really matter that much.
But I do want 4K.
And because I'll be judged by
Dr. Chiz, I want
OLED.
Because I feel like if I were to get an LED screen...
Oh, you peasant.
He would really turn his nose up at that.
What is the difference between OLED and...
There are 33% more letters in an OLED screen.
Each? That's true.
I want each individual pixel being controlled
by a fucking computer.
I want the blacks to be as black as possible.
I want this thing to have a high refresh rate, at least 120 hertz.
I want it to be the TV that I have for the next five to ten years.
But what I don't want is to buy this thing, and then next year, the OLED.
I don't want to buy an LED,
and then next year the OLED is $3,000 or something like that.
So I'm waiting basically for the TV that I want
to be a little bit more reasonable
because right now I think it's probably somewhere between $5,000 and $8,000
for exactly what I want.
I haven't looked today because it seems like it's always fluctuating,
but it's somewhere in there if i look on amazon but but my fear with the projector would be two things because
i i like to watch tv during the daytime as well sometimes i would be worried that it doesn't have
enough uh what is luminosity lumens whatever to like to like fight against the ambient light of
a room and be as as to pop as much as an led screen would or an oled screen
whatever they've got this uh this is q led i don't know if that's different than oled same
amount of letters yeah same amount of letters but this samsung 82 inch is only like three grand
i've looked at this one and i'm looking at getting this one like all the reviews online
are pretty great for it.
And 82 inches is enormous.
I will say that with the projector,
even though our room gets pretty dark,
it gets darker than an average room,
during the daytime,
you notice it's not a regular TV.
That's what I'm seeing.
It's almost like it's a theater room
strictly for nighttime.
All the people I've seen talking about it are like, yeah, it's really cool, but if you want to watch an afternoon movie, be prepared for things to look a little too light and washed out.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
That's my fear.
I almost took it as an advantage.
In my house, what the fuck are you watching television in the middle of the afternoon for?
Don't you have something you're supposed to be doing?
So that's how I feel 99% of the time.
The other 1%, it's like, you know, I wish I could watch TV in the afternoon a little nicer.
Well, it is a Saturday, and this is my house.
But yeah, we usually just watch TV at night.
There's always something to be done.
But yeah, we usually just watch TV at night.
There's always something to be done.
What's something fun that you have in your homes or you've had in your homes
that you'd recommend to someone
that might not think about it?
I know there's the whole bidet thing.
Oh yeah, that is pretty cool actually.
I know that's a good one.
I was going to say the gym when you started the question.
I really like having a dedicated gym.
I think part of the coolest thing of having a dedicated gym is that I can walk in and use it.
Like sometimes I like, not like pull-ups, but I like that I'm decent at pull-ups.
And sometimes on non-workout days or maybe I worked out earlier that day, I just walk up to the pull-up bar and use it.
Whereas if I had to set up my gym, then that wouldn't be the case.
So having a dedicated space for working out, I think, is really nice.
Yeah.
I'm really excited.
I really enjoyed the hot tub.
I think there will be a new hot tub at some point pretty soon.
Very big fan of it.
I don't know how big it was, like eight people or six people.
It was big enough that I could totally like like the length of my body
would not i couldn't touch the other end with my feet you know what i mean like like it was plenty
of room for someone to sit across from me and that not to be weird if it was a dude was it one of
those like set in brick with like the surrounding like steps up into it like an in in ground almost
no but it was it was definitely an above ground hot tub built
onto a like wooden uh deck type situation okay um i liked it a lot uh that that was really nice
especially how much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking i think that the deal was
that it had these panels on the side and one of the panels on the rear had a crack in it and i think it was eight thousand
dollars and we got it reduced by like two thousand dollars because of this crack that didn't fucking
matter and you just faced away from where people yeah exactly like you'd literally have to like go
in the woods and get a flashlight to see this crack in some plastic that like nobody gave a
fuck about and so i think maybe had like six grand in it with the deck and
everything like that and it was got a ton of use out of it i loved it in the winter time like when
it was freezing cold and like just the like you're like taking your clothes off and you're like holy
fuck i can't wait to get in there and like like you get get back out to like put the cover on
you're like fuck why do i have to be the one put the cover on oh and you're like, fuck, why do I have to be the one to put the cover on? Oh my god! By the time
you get back in, you're already shivering. It's so
fucking cold. That was really nice.
I'm digging my rowing machine now.
That wasn't even that pricey.
No, I got a cheap one. Like $400 or $500.
And I got no issue
with it.
I like it a lot. I did get the cushion for it,
which is nice.
Nice knives. issue with it i i i like it a lot i i did get the cushion for it which is nice um nice knives like if you cook like if you prepare meat and vegetables having a chef's knife that is decent like i still
use the rape squad killer knife that that that uh loot crate company sent me and uh it came with a
sharpener so i'm in there like like sharp this thing up. I cooked some steak last night or the night before,
I don't remember which,
and it's just like, just draw it across the meat
and it does all the work for you.
It's really nice having a razor sharp, durable kitchen knife.
My wife really likes gas.
We actually have propane,
but it's pretty similar in user experience for the stove.
Yes.
Smell the meat, not the heat.
I agree 100% with that.
I've had both, I suppose, like many people have.
The gas heats up things so much faster,
and it's most noticeable with the oven.
The stovetop, of course, gets hot fast,
but I never really noticed that my pans weren't getting hot that fast anyway
and a little bit of extra time can be not that big of a deal when you're preparing things and
like cooking three or four dishes at once but when you're trying to get the oven to like bake
at 400 to like make something you want it there lickety split and gas seems to get from zero to
400 in five minutes what i like just i'm sorry i can see how much gas there is right so
like if i have an electric stove and i turn it up to a third it's hard to measure like what's a third
of an electric full capacity but when you can see the flame you really know the impact that you
change that you're having on yeah you know boiling your water also like also on my stove like the
different burners or have different functions.
There's one of them that's like a fast-boil
burner, and it on
high is fucking insane.
It looks like it's a
propane cooker you're going to fry a turkey on.
Does it sound like a
roofing torch?
Yeah, it's a little loud.
It gets going.
But then there's back burners, which, you know,
oh, I put that on the back burner, you might hypothetically say.
Well, my actual back burners can go incredibly low and precise.
I don't know.
Yeah, I agree with you 100% though.
Gas stove is great.
Yeah.
That's good to know because I do want to start cooking more
and I have a nice ton of kitchen space.
It's nice to have a
secondary freezer in your garage.
Like just one of those
lift top freezers.
They're very affordable.
Especially if you buy them used.
And you know
if you're ever
if there's one of those nights where you get home late
and you don't want to cook and everything's closed
it's nice to know that there's just 18 frozen pizzas out there in the, in the deep freeze.
So something Taylor might not know, cause I don't know the broad category of old man knowledge,
your real estate agent is not on your side. Like, are you aware of this? Right? So the,
the name of the game, and this is for listeners too, the name of the game, if you're a real estate
agent is to close as
many deals as possible they really don't care about how much you pay right if if they can save
you 10 grand then they earn less but that's not even the big deal the big deal is getting Taylor
to closing and then out the door that's where they make their money the difference between
them making their commission on I'll make make up numbers, you know, $190,000 versus $200,000 is very minimal, right?
But the difference between trailer buying a house in two weeks versus six weeks is gigantic for them.
So what they really want to do is anything they can to close the house.
And what you really want to do, though, is look out for yourself because that $10,000 will take quite some time.
That's a big impact to you.
It's either a change in your monthly balance or maybe it takes an extra year or two to finally get out from under the mortgage or whatever it is.
It's a really big deal to you and it's minimal to her.
The big deal to her is just finishing with you.
That's definitely good to know.
I've talked to family members who are in that industry.
Okay.
It's definitely good to know.
Like I've talked to family members who are in the kind of that industry.
Okay.
And their big advice is kind of what you said, where it was like, don't feel pressured to get into anything you're not a hundred percent comfortable with.
Like force your agent to do their job, like make them put in multiple contracts of like
low ball style offers for car, not cars for houses that have been on the market for like,
you know, one or two months without that much activity. And so, yeah so yeah my agent's gonna be doing a fuck ton of work for me because
i think i'm not your agent will be inclined to say that's a really good deal taylor right wanting
you to be like well if i'm getting this expert advice over here that says i should buy the house
then i probably should yeah your expert wants you off her to-do list and there's so much to look at
it's like then you have to look at like comp houses to like make sure you're not buying something where you're gonna lose money on it and
like school districts and shit you have to think about that's weird so we hired even if you don't
have kids like the realist or what schools they're in is like so much more important than like i mean
obviously like if you ask me like our school district's really important for real estate
like well yeah of course but like getting into it, it's like, ah, well, this is even more important than I imagined as far as resale.
Even grade schools and shit, they'll be like, ah, this one here is not going to sell for as much because it goes to Stevenson grade school instead of Jefferson or whatever the hell it is.
It's just so multifaceted.
I can't wait until I get in the house, and then I'm like, all right, how do I clean gutters?
I guess I have to buy a ladder and get up there with gloves.
No, you hire a guy.
It's $75.
I want to get this out.
And I know Kyle sometimes thinks along these lines too.
You always have to look at people's motivations.
And when you hire – no, better yet, if your real estate agent says, you know what?
I've got a home inspector that you'll love.
Do you want to go with my guy?
That guy knows his future business and livelihood is based on pleasing that real estate agent, right?
He's got some incentive to keep his name clean, but he has a big incentive for that real estate.
If he goes in there and ruins the deal and says, this house is crap, you don't want it,
then that real estate agent will be looking
for a different home inspector.
It's like an incestuous family.
I want to say on this last house...
I don't know if that's...
That's actually different.
You're right, it's not that bad.
There's only fucking kids.
I want to say on this last house that Kitty purchased,
the home inspector gave the all
clear but what there's something in the attic that's like a it's not the insulation it's some
sort of like plastic that gets laid down i can't think of what it's called um but anyway it's some
sort of insulating plastic layer and he said it was all good and on his checklist but it wasn't and so
that had to be replaced at a cost of like nineteen hundred dollars that but in his contract if he
misses it it's on fucking him so go right back to his contract hey dave you fucked up here's your
bill for nineteen hundred dollars and dave had to pay for that shit so it's it's nice to have an inspector
who's who has a contract like that i don't know if that's i haven't done it enough i'm not in real
estate to like know if that's a commonplace thing but it's nice when he's on the hook if he misses
termites or if he misses radon or if he misses uh which are all things you're going to want to look
into like if you got rad you've got a fucking problem.
I don't know what
you'd rather have, radon or... It won't make me a superhero?
No!
You might react differently, Taylor. Can't be sure.
With God, all things are possible.
It'll make me Leukemia Man!
He can
vomit in the toilet every morning in a single
bath.
You're going to want to know if there's a crack in the
foundation or if there are termites or if there's
mold. These are all things
that are super important. Those are the things you're
actually looking for. Things like aluminum
wiring, CPVC piping,
asbestos.
That piping thing, I've already
ran into that. Asbestos,
the grade of lumber,
all those things are very important water leaks
you know and not current water leaks necessarily but past water leaks you know there's there's so
much to that you want to know before you buy a quarter million dollar three hundred thousand
dollar big wooden box yeah uh home insurance is nearly worthless in my experience like you when you buy your house
it might come with a warranty uh i had heard that these warranties were not worth the paper
they were written on and we discovered something like there is an issue with our uh ducting so
because we did all these renovations before we moved in. It took forever. And I made a warranty claim
and they were just not honoring it.
And I went back and forth with them a couple of times.
It wasn't even that much money.
It was like $600.
And eventually I was just like,
fuck, here's a check for $600.
Your warranty is no good.
And then they came back at me again and again and again
trying to sell me a warranty extension. And it's's like you fucks already don't honor your warranty why would i pay for an extended
not honored warranty uh but like if there's something that makes you feel really uncomfortable
about the house don't let that warranty make you feel better about it because it's shit
yeah yeah that's definitely something i've heard too like oh you've so much to try and keep track
of like With that,
about the past leaks, Kyle,
you're mentioning, I walked into one house that I was like, this is a couple
weeks ago, I'm like, god damn, this house is awesome.
This is sick. It's got
everything I want. The price isn't too bad.
The price was actually
so low, I was walking around like,
hmm. Like Fry?
Is there blood splatters
somewhere here?
Was someone murdered?
That would be my ideal.
Someone gets murdered
in like a ghost house
and they're like,
well,
this house is worth
fucking 600,
but we're letting it go
for 265
because of how many kids
got raped in there.
It was a,
it was a child porn
syndicate house.
Nobody on earth
wants to buy it.
Sir,
you're,
you've got cash in hand.
Okay.
I would totally do that.
I don't care.
Just so you know, there may or may not be some DVDs and hard drives in the walls.
You find them, I recommend you burn them right away.
So my retaining wall is made of old terabyte drives.
It's fun to shop for houses, though.
Like both times that we bought it, I've only bought two houses in my whole life.
But both times, it felt like I was making huge lifestyle upgrades.
It was like, this is going to be the new me?
Do all these people selling know that I'm not worthy of this place?
I felt that way in Apex.
It's like, I'm kind of a guy who lives in apartments next to drug dealers
and people who beat their wives.
This is a really safe neighborhood.
This is not where I'm from.
It just seemed like both times I bought a house that I wasn't worthy of it.
It was pretty cool.
It's funny to walk into a house.
First of all, there's nothing more uncomfortable than walking in there
to look around and have the people who live there still there especially if they're
trying to sell you on it where they'll be like and here you should look at this and it's like
i want to be like i'm about to i love this house so far i'm about to leave like you're you're you're
waiting you're pouring on always i always asked that they not be there like like and the real
estate agent passes will pass that on for you.
Just let them know, and that'll be taken care of.
Because it's very uncomfortable for them to be there.
Because I'm here to look at this thing and like...
And analyze it, figure it out.
This is where they are living currently.
And I'm here to judge it as harshly as I possibly can.
Like, oh, look at that.
What the fuck were they thinking?
Oh, that's ugly-ass crown molding.
Oh, your wife picked it out?
Why would you paint everything green?
Almost as bad as when they just leave.
I don't know if you guys have done that but like I walk into a house
and it's like this baby formula is still cold like I really booted these people out of their
daily routine that's breast milk like like that's a real thing like yeah and another thing this you
can't be like me in this regard but I see see their family's pictures on the walls, and it's like, huh, they're fat.
I don't know if I like this place.
This is a fat person, so what a bunch of losers.
I don't know.
I totally am doing that, too.
I'm looking at people's pictures.
It's especially sad when you pictures of like clearly people who have
died in their family like the grandma and grandpa remembrance photo like i was walking around a
couple of them and it's like it's like two 50 year old like older people who live there like
an older married couple and like my only thought is like man if you knew the plans I had for the home you raised a family in.
The sex swings going here.
Oh, yeah.
This is our mobile for our young child. It's like, not anymore, motherfucker.
Can I hold 300 pounds?
Are those beams load-bearing?
Excellent.
We're going to
take this crib out and put in a round
bed with cheetah sheets.
I wanted to ask you this.
I know, Woody, you built your own house,
so it doesn't apply really.
No, I haven't. I built my own house.
I thought you built three extensions onto that or something.
No, they remodeled it.
We remodeled it.
I always had it in my head
that you added a lot to the house.
No, that's the way this house grew. It's been added on to but that wasn't us oh okay uh so like
my big thing i don't want to go into somewhere where if like someone's like oh you just need to
put like 30 into this kitchen and you're gonna make way more money like my first house i don't
want to do that kind of shit i want to like get a turnkey
house like maybe like you know if i need to put 10 15 grand into it to like make little upgrades
make it look nicer and whatnot like maybe a new countertop i don't know like little things i'm
okay with paint carpeting but like i really want it to be turnkey is that what you did kyle for
the house you're currently living in were you looking for something where you're like i don't
want to have to redo a basement i want this to be fucking live ready where i if i want
to add something i can but i'm not pressured to yeah for sure yeah didn't want to like go through
a whole bunch of stuff um with that that house back uh back in franklin county the the basement
was unfinished but the the upstairs was like 26 270000 square feet. And then the basement almost matched that, I think.
So it was like, this is all extra room that is completely unneeded.
Like, I'm fine with it being sort of rough.
And I don't even remember the exact situation it was in.
I remember there was no flooring down there.
It was concrete.
But there were a lot of walls in.
I don't recall if
there was sheet rock on those walls um but and eventually there was sheet rock put on the walls
and doors were hung and molding was put in and i put it and we were talking about those leaks
earlier you know i put in that lovely real hardwood no it was the glue down hardwood floor
um because that what else you can't really put
nails in concrete i mean you can but not not not for this purpose and the hot water heater leaked
and all that water went under the the uh the hardwood under 800 square feet of hardwood
and i and when i was getting the um the upstairs carpet replaced was like, I'd like to rip all of this hardwood
out down here.
And she's like, yeah, it's ruined, huh?
I'm like, yeah, you see how it's kind of bubbled up and it's discolored over here?
She's like, yeah, that sucks.
I was like, do you have someone who could do that?
And they're like, yeah, we've got two guys who could probably do it.
I was like, and we'd already settled on the price
for all of the flooring,
and I felt like we'd gotten a good deal.
I don't remember what the flooring was,
a square foot or whatever,
but I'd gotten her like 20% off that price,
and it was like, ah, as a whole,
this is a low dollar thing,
like seven grand for a house full of carpeting
upstairs and downstairs,
and it may have been less.
I don't remember, but I was like,
how much would it
be to get them to rip all this out and take it away she's like i don't know i was like well you
know let's settle on it today and she's like eight hundred dollars and i was just like sold
what do i sign those poor motherfuckers were in there with hammers and pry bars.
It's glued down to concrete.
And when you start prying it up, it doesn't just come off of one big sheet.
It doesn't come off of one little board.
It tears apart and splinters.
Oh, jeez.
They were down there, and they don't have a truck.
So I give them two really big trash cans and they fill a
trash can up and then they take it all the way out of the basement around the house up the hill
and put it in a dumpster it was it's exhausting sounding it was exhausting it was horrible what
they had to do it was absurd for eight hundred dollars for eight there's two of them and the boss is taking a cut oh man yeah well yeah i'm glad i'm
buying the house and not the guy dealing with you know ruined you know fake wood chips in the
basement and glue yeah so you found a couple that you like so far how many yeah uh two that i've put
contracts on both of those, they've responded saying
with their counter and been like,
and the counter to me is like,
no.
No, I'm not doing that.
It's not like you're
not coming to the middle in a way that I
think is appropriate. No, I'm not interested.
And so... You don't want to counter
$250 from your last offer?
No, no. I was talking to like people i know and they're like like a big thing with real estate there's always another house
out there you got to tell yourself there's always another house like there's always it's probably an
exact same replica of that house around here because floor plans aren't unique like fingerprints
and so never be afraid to walk away that's especially true in the normal house market
like if you're buying a three-bedroom home, there's
a lot of them.
If you're buying a
6,000 or 8,000-foot home, then
there might just be a couple of those.
Yeah, all the ones I like the most
are
three-bed, three-bath,
or four-bedroom, three-bath, kind of in
that range. It's nice to have
a room that you have no idea
what you're going to do with it.
Oh, yeah.
And it may just end up being a junk room,
you know, just with an old elliptical in it
and eight boxes worth of sweaters that don't fit or something.
But where the fuck else were you going to put them?
You know, it's nice having that room.
The last house we looked at, I still sometimes think about it sometimes i loved that house it was
beautiful the walls were like fabric on which sounds stupid but i'm telling you it looked
high class it had an indoor pool an indoor pool you know how cool that is to me like i remember
it was incredible it was really nice it was on a
peninsula surrounded by lake like it was really nice that sounds awesome on top of a hill and uh
when we had it inspected the guy's like i've never seen anything like this before do not buy this
matter of fact the inspection was fairly expensive and he's like i could just stop inspecting now for
half price and tell you not to
buy it how about i don't write your report and just say run away from this thing and uh the real
estate agents were all like man we don't need this to fall through what if we could get you a
different inspector that did give it the thumbs up and i'm like dude that doesn't make the house
any better like just because you could find some lackey he'll put his stamp on it i'm sorry sir you have stage four uh pancreatic cancer here is the proof of it nah i'm gonna get a second opinion
the pool leaked so the crawl space filled up to be a pool and and they're like yeah all this
insulation all this plumbing all this subfloor all this
has to go like that's most of the first floor that is the first floor and all the things that
floors do yeah and they're like yeah the duct work is probably moldy and this is like you're
buying the second floor of the house wasn't the roof like patched with like newspapers and tar
or something like that? Yeah.
So this was another scary thing to me.
You might feel differently, but the guy was a builder.
And when I Googled him online, he was like notorious for building shitty stuff.
And his own home seemed to just be like, oh, is the roof leaking?
Well, what if we just pour like half a gallon of tar on the top and see if that stops it at all?
I went on top.
There were repairs all they're like i don't want to make up a number eight 13 patches on the roof like clearly this roof was done shitty like you don't have 13 patches on a roof
it wasn't that old at home um the it didn't he didn't like um what's the thing at the bottom
of a gutter it's kind of a concrete water guiding thing,
like a tray almost made of concrete usually.
I don't know what it's called.
I know exactly what you're talking about.
Okay.
Well, he didn't like those.
He thought they weren't that cool.
And his gutters had these chains.
You know, they're usually a downspout.
Well, in Japan, I guess they use these like big iron chains.
I bet they weighed like 600 pounds.
And the water would come along the gutter and just like trinkle,
trinkle down the chain and be guided.
It was really neat.
Guided into the crawl space, really, because he didn't have those.
And by the way, this is an 8,000 square foot house.
It's a lot of water to guide into your crawl space.
But that was the system.
All because he didn't
like the little concrete things yes yes that you would have guided away they're like we can get
that graded yeah but for like the last 12 years you didn't you know that's the issue here the last
house like the gutters came down and then there was um it was guided down into like a pvc pipe
system that went down and then we have underground yeah
like that's nice like then you don't end up with sometimes a really big rainstorm comes and it
overwhelms whatever you've got but that that doesn't happen when you've got that like piping
that takes it away or whatever yeah on really big rainstorms like the last two hurricanes
so we have like half of our house is guided into this like six inch big pipe and i'll like go
outside during the hurricane just to watch the water go like oh it's really coming down now
and it's just like you don't see that many gallons flow of the water all that often it's cool
but yeah anyway i'm excited for your house shopping it should be fun yeah man yeah yeah
that's really neat i i really your comment resonated with me of the whole like
do these people know that i am not worthy of living in a house like this like i'll walk
around and like look at pictures and it's like people who lived their whole life in a house
there and it's like well i'm buying it as my first one like yeah you know i don't feel like i'm giving
the respect you guys gave to this place but
i don't know whatever i get i'm really really stoked like it's gonna be nice to finally have
not be sharing walls have my own space be able to do whatever i want with the space i have
like i'm so excited i've already told my mom who's like really into decorating and shit i'm like
when i i want to pick out my couches and my furniture, all the comfy stuff, and the electronics.
And then all the little bullshit dining rooms and things like that.
You just tell me what looks good and I'll get it.
Because the things you want me to put on the fireplace that look nice and modern, I don't care.
Just do whatever.
It's going to be super neat to have your own space like that.
I'm totally not regretting at
all stepping away from the whole condo idea because that would just be kind of i don't know
just the more i thought about the one like this is kind of like more of a lateral step i feel like
i mean still step up because you're building equity but like it's a half measure yeah good
way to say it i'd rather take a full measure where i really feel like i have my own space
a nice yard some of these places good, it is so frustrating to go online
and look at pictures and be like, God, this is so fucking nice.
This is so fucking nice.
And then you get there and you're like, where's the yard?
There's no yard at all.
I look out into the side.
This literally happened this last Saturday.
I was so excited to go to this house in an area that I loved.
And I got there and the inside was beautiful. And then I look out the outside and I shit you not
16 feet from my kitchen window that looks out. Cause it was a ranch style home. Like I'm not,
I like ranch style homes a lot. So I'm not settled on two story versus ranch and 16 feet away.
Someone else is the side of their house. Like they could like look in and it was a two story
house next to a ranch. And so it's like, I can't even put up a house. Like, they could, like, look in. And it was a two-story house next to a ranch,
and so it's like, I can't even put up a privacy fence
because they could just stare right in if they wanted to.
And I'm like, fuck this.
No, this is awkward as shit.
Like, what?
No.
So, ah, you get your hopes up and then back down so quickly.
So you want a little bit of elbow room.
That's what the yard is for, just the separation from your neighbors?
That and, like, if I if i you know when i have kids
or if i ever get a dog or something like i want to have enough room for that and like i don't need
a huge yard or anything but like this yard is like it was it was insane yeah how small it was
sometimes the size of the yard is almost determined by the location right like oh yeah you know you
you might want to be i'm making things up i don't know your situation, you might want to be, I'm making things up. I don't know your situation, but you might want to be really close to work. And that would just be prohibitively expensive,
you know, to have a big yard near the job. So you decide to travel and yeah, it's choices.
Yeah. A lot of shit to balance, but you're right. It is fun.
Yeah. You know what's not fun? The fitness competition. I'm not enjoying it at all.
I look at...
I seem to...
All right.
The Mr. Blue thing doesn't score points for shit.
Because at the last PK, if you don't remember,
I was like, I'm just going to stay in the blue.
I'm going to work out for eight hours.
It's going to be cool.
Well, that is awful.
That is awful to just be doing doing shit all day every day and i find that i can hit the green and the yellow more easily
than i thought i thought it was destroying me and it's not i can do it um it almost reminds me of
being an actual athlete like i'm sore and like when I was swimming in college and stuff, no one was ever
sore. They were tight, right? It's the same fucking thing with a different word. Like,
ah, I'm feeling tight. Oh, are you feeling tight? I have a suggestion for that. Get in the fucking
pool, work your ass off. It'll go away in about 15 minutes. And it does, you know, you start an
exercise tight and whatever, warmups, loosen it out and you get back in the groove
so that's what i'm doing now i kind of have a migraine before the show more so than right now
and uh yeah it's it's i'm not one of those people that calls everything a migraine but it was a
headache and i was light sensitive so you're nauseous at all no no that's good yeah if it's
a migraine if you would call it that, it would be a mild one.
Still not a fan.
Did you drink enough liquid?
Possibly not.
I've been drinking a ton of this stuff.
Just like electrolyte solution from Walgreens.
It's been really helping me.
I've been drinking about eight fucking 20-ounce Gatorades a day.
I've been drinking a lot.
When I do go to sleep, finally,
I wake up three times, four times in the night just to piss.
And it's an emergency.
There's no laying there for a couple minutes like,
maybe I could just sleep this piss off.
Like, nope, nope.
I spring out of bed and fucking,
oh, that's a good one pit kind of
piss that i need to take three four times during the night i am sometimes peeing with a uh a
pressure that i'm not accustomed to right like normally i pee and whatever it's just pee now
it's like i gotta put a hole in the back of this porcelain you know this is gonna wear i will admit this like sometimes
i'm in the green right like i i i like floating in the green for for long periods of time like
like not crazy long but like one to four hours like i i've definitely held it and and there's
blue dips but the blue dips are often me changing the song i'm like what what the fuck am i listening
to this isn't pumping me up this is
how did we get into country music all of a sudden i've been listening to this for four minutes
already yes or like like like i'm halfway through a johnny cash album i started on acdc how did we
get here like because i'll just zone out and and i'll be like i don't want to walk to the bathroom
and lose my green and i'll just grab a gatorade bottle and I'll piss right there where I'm working out.
But you got to be careful because I drink lemon lime Gatorade.
All right.
It's easy.
It's easy to make a mistake.
I haven't made that mistake.
There's a sniff test involved.
Hey, that'll get that heart rate pumping.
Sometimes you're too thirsty to be taking time sniffing.
And again, you don't want to lose your
green or yellow or wherever you are so i so i switched to blue gatorade and that solved the
whole problem we don't have to worry we can tell the piss jug from the gatorade and it's all it's
all good it's become a mental thing with me i have a strong desire not to exercise like i did
right now so i've been doing two days i do two days almost
every day and uh i have a headache i'm kind of sweating just sitting here and i don't want to
change my clothes and work out we'll see if i do but yeah yeah well i'll tell you what if if you
don't work out tonight i won't eat you have girl coming over. This is my chance to catch up. I'm telling you what.
I mean... I know there might be a certain bit of exercise happening.
Perhaps.
But...
If you work out, I'm just going to have...
After I'm done with her, I'm just going to get right
back after it and I'll do whatever you
do tonight. No, you won't.
I do every single night!
Well, I'm... you that is true actually
well okay fair it's a grueling process where like every time woody doesn't work out i i look i see
what woody's done and then i beat it and then i go to sleep and i wake up and what he's done
another one so i get up and i go until I beat it. And I've been doing that
for what feels like
three years, but
it's been five days or something like that.
It's been grueling. It really has.
I'm not sore.
I'm about the same soreness.
The ice baths help.
And my motivation's staying pretty good
because I can see
myself literally losing weight.
Really?
With all the liquid I'm drinking, I've still lost about seven pounds.
And I've had to tighten the actual belt twice to keep it fitting.
It was slipping down toward my belly button.
It was slipping down to my belly button.
And I was like, oh, don't lose any maps.
Oh, that belt.
I thought you meant your regular.
I'm the opposite.
Well, I think I don't have to raise.
I'm taking in more calories because I'm working out all the time.
And sometimes it's a little bit of like forgiveness.
Like, what do you work so damn hard today?
You can have a sugar drink or something.
The other thing that happens when especially it's been raining
lately so i'm on my daughter's exercise bike in her room just underwear that's all i'm wearing
i took a photo of myself and tweeted it i threw that shirt on for the photo i was just in my
i took a version without the shirt and i was like they're gonna meme you woody you can't put this on
the internet they're gonna meme you evenody you can't put this on the
internet they're gonna meme you even though it was just like this high like someone will find
something negative about it like to put throw a shirt on i throw it but the point is she has a um
is it called a wardrobe mirror you know it's like body length and it kind of tilts and stuff
it's pointed right at the exercise bike the The exercise bike is not a flattering angle.
It doesn't have normal handlebars. It has like a tray in the front where you can watch your
computer like I watch Walking Dead or listen to music or something. So I'm leaning over,
pedaling, pedaling, pedaling, pedaling. Two things are going on. One, whatever stomach flab I have,
which exists, it's totally on on display I have an elastic waistband
and I'm hunched forward to I have this Meps counter thing under my chest now
without an elastic band under my boobs my chest 5 out of 10 right it's not
where I aspire for it to be but you wouldn't look at it and be like look at
that girl if you put the elastic waistband under the jugs.
Oh, you look terrible.
Two out of ten.
Two out of ten.
It's a poor look.
If I'm in the middle of working out,
because I'm still doing weightlifting and stuff,
and I'm cooling down and I walk into the bathroom
and I see myself shirtless with just that band,
that itself is the motivation well yes you
need to work out harder you fat fuck oh okay it looks like you're a fat girl in
a tight bra just like a little pedal pedal pedal with that mirror put that I
didn't put the mirror there it's been there since before this competition
started with myself in the mirror it's like work your ass off that's not that
is not the target guy in that mirror over there and uh it's it's motivating
to be this ugly i guess i gotta say like i'm i'm super impressed with everybody so far like kyle's
putting in an insane amount of work i did not like i knew you'd work hard but you this is insane uh
chiz it's much harder for him given his his physical size but he's really doing his best but what i i am most impressed
with you woody so far i did not you're killing it like i did not see you going on these like
two hour straight yellow binges like this consistently into it and like your your
workouts are hard and i can be like that sometimes it's like you can see your your
competitiveness your competitiveness shining through but yeah you should you got like 15
years on all of us at least and so you should be really proud of these results well thank you
uh Chiz is the one that stands out in my mind like the stories of his blisters and his back pain
and uh just like I I think basically everyone butyle has a pretty legit claim as to why this competition
is really hard for them and uh sorry kyle kyle you got 254 maps doing pay killer already i don't
know how you do i i'm fucking the whole time i'm fucking tensing up i'm like he's masturbating
that was my secret. Got me one met. He's fucking twerking at it. South Pole game. I'm doing it right now.
I'm the same way.
And I don't want to hear about Chiz's blisters.
I popped my blisters and put fucking super glue on them.
I don't want to hear about blisters.
I've actually never heard of the super glue.
Anyway, so you two, but I guess I just,
I have an imagination where Chiz is enduring,
even though he's, I think, third in points,
he might be first in pain.
Like that's what's between my ears.
Oh, that's probably true.
And that's why I'm so proud of him.
I don't know.
The soreness aspect, I'm really not,
like I'm used to,
so I changed my actual workout routine
because I try to do the similar two a day kind of thing.
I wasn't able to do anything this
morning, so I'm going to have to go after this and get a smaller day, unfortunately.
But I took out any kind of weighted lower body exercise for the month. So any kind of squats,
any kind of lunges, anything that puts deadlifts gone, anything that is primarily focused on legs
with weights, I got rid of. leg day can wait till next year yeah all core and upper body is what i'm working out and i've added
like as another letter in my like repeat times five routine is like at the end of all those i
do like 15 minutes of like not intense you know usually like green like kind of riding like just
and that kind of like adds a little bit to it and
keeps your heart rate going and makes it so that even though you're doing weight lifting where you
don't earn nearly as much like you still stay high enough like you can see my workouts which ones i'm
doing weights because it'll go like yeah you know blue green yellow uh green blue you know
green yellow like it goes up and down and up and down so i can't tell what what you're doing, but, like, knowing what I did, I can see it.
Like, if I hit the exercise bike, that shit is steady.
That is, like, two hours of busting my ass.
There's also paramotoring in there.
And I'm like, that's where I went somewhere else.
That's where I loaded the truck, which is about as difficult as, like, putting luggage in the car.
But I was in a hurry, so I'm running back and forth.
I'm like, oh, I got a couple of meps out of that.
There's the drive.
No meps.
Here's where I set shit up on the field.
There's where I was about to launch with like 70 pounds on my back, and I realized I left the car door open. So I had to march that shit like across a football field and back like in terms of distance.
You know who I'm not impressed with?
You know who I'm disappointed in?
Not impressed with one bit?
Fucking Joe Rogan. Fucking Joe Rogan.
Fucking Joe Rogan.
Come on, Joe.
I'm going to have your score by, what, day seven?
Day eight?
I'll definitely have his score by day nine.
I'm going to beat his score for the month.
I haven't picked the day, but I'm
70% of it in five days.
In 30, there's no chance I don't pass him.
At this rate, I'm going to beat his score for the month are you i didn't look yeah they like my whole goal is like 500
average a day like just slow and steady rolling average 500 coming out of the gate 350 was my goal
i thought if i got 350 every day that would come in just shy of joe ro score, and none of us are going to compete with Joe Rogan, clearly, right?
That was the thought process,
and that didn't turn out to be true.
Nope.
Yeah, he...
I wasn't sure where Kyle was going with that.
I'm like, who is he going to dig at?
Joe Rogan?
We're all doing this thing.
Look, I'd be fine if we just went until we all beat Joe Rogan
we should race to beat Joe
change the fucking
change the fucking
parameters
let me and Woody
look how about this Woody
you and I we beat Joe Rogan
and then we cut our shit down
500 a day each
agreed I like that plan a lot We beat Joe Rogan, and then we cut our shit down 500 a day each.
Agreed.
I like that plan a lot.
I'm not even kidding.
I might be trying to trick you.
Oh, I mean, I'll back your score or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
I upload immediately after every workout.
Yeah, I do too.
Yeah, I don't sit on it and play games. I'm afraid to.
Yes, me too. I don't want to lose it. Yeah. I would be so afraid to do that. i don't sit on it and play i'm afraid to yes me too is it yeah
i i would be so afraid to like to do that how it works if that app closes is it gone or i don't
know right i don't know i don't know the answer to that question and so i don't fuck with it i i
i've lost meps before like i've been working out and it just got it is i look i'm like let's just
say 100 maps and i'm all right all right let's go till 250 we'll get some water zero and i'm like oh
wait wait wait maybe what into the ether into the ether went those 40 maps that's
i'm glad that's happened to you i don't think that's ever happened to me another thing that
surprised me problem because that's happened to me too yeah one thing that uh my range is longer than i thought
like i've had my phone in one room and i'll like wear the thing to the bathroom and come back it
seems like it connected the whole time totally okay well by comparison i also have um wireless
headset and it drops way more easily than this my zone thing does so there's something good about it it has a lot of range yeah all right i i don't
know how it works yeah um but i but like i said i i try to upload as soon as possible like like
whenever i'm done i i sit down and start like my cool down period and then whenever i get to like
one map a minute or when it when it starts going like one map zero map one map zero i'm like all
right it's time to shower and fucking i take the thing off it go it beeps and then i upload that that that's been my process
so far and i'm a i'm a i don't know if there's a thousand ways to skin this cat but that's the
one way i know to do it where i nothing bad happens and so i've gotten into that routine
because i don't it'd be it'd be if i lost a 500 met workout 600 met workout
i i i don't know what i'd do you would just have to be done for the day it'd be one of those things
where it's like okay tomorrow we'll we'll start up again i have a nice lead so if i lost 500 i
would be livid dude i'd be like well fuck, fuck. Guess I gotta get 1,000 tomorrow.
A lot of my workouts are longer than I
intended them to be. And I guess some of this stuff I'll
repeat on Thursday for the broader audience.
But I'll go in. I'm like, I'm gonna get
400 reps. That's my morning goal.
And then I get to it
and I'm like, you know,
you're not dead. And
you're still fat in that mirror there.
So why not do 450 i get to 450 like
i'll do 500 and it's like i'm gonna do 600 and i get to 600 it's like well let's just do 20 more
let's let's not go 100 increments that we're really kind of exaggerating what we need to get
done and uh yeah i just it's it's kind of it's just you know well like why stop when you don't when you can go and and
that happens to me a lot are you are you doing any weight lifting still all right barely i have i've
given myself some breaks so i've missed days um i especially do the um the calisthenics basically
push-ups and pull-ups and uh you know but there'll be times where it's just like, fuck this.
I was, uh, I was talking to Chiz last night, giving him, uh, just back and forth on Skype,
giving him tips cause he was complaining about, uh, like, oh, the soreness. Like I'm feeling
really bad. I'm like, yeah, I can't imagine, dude, you, you, you're probably really struggling
right now. And I convinced him to buy those Bowflex weights we were talking about. Okay. And made him like a quick little seated upper body workout that he could do.
Like I just, you know, 20 minutes or so online trying to find stuff he'd be good at.
And like I told him, if he starts this, and I know Woody, you'll agree, like he'll be blown away by his difference in strength just by the end of the month.
He'll be blown away by his difference in strength just by the end of the month.
If he just starts doing preacher curls on his thigh and then lateral arm raises and curl and press and just things sitting down, seated shrugs, whatever. By the end of the month – and the thing about upper body soreness I was telling him is it's not like lower body soreness.
Lower body soreness sucks dick.
It's no fun.
Upper body soreness, you're like, hell yeah.
This means I'm getting bigger.
I'm getting stronger.
Muscles are building.
It's a more exciting, better sore.
One thing that I found motivating about lifting is,
so I do, I think five, I have different,
I have an ABAB and then ABA, the next day is BAB, yeah.
And almost every exercise, one of the five things I do will improve.
So it's not like, I don't know, running or something.
Like you don't get better every single workout.
But in lifting, you know, I'll add two and a half or five pounds to something.
You know, I'll add one more pull-up than I did before.
And there's just always progress yeah so i hope he i hope he sticks to that and does it uh because that would
be good for him like that like people saying it's not good to lift weights on this contest like if
you just make it upper body weights it's really like you're kind of keeping you know your waist
is a berlin wall you keep your lower legs working, your legs working when they have to,
and you keep your arms working when they do.
Not too much crossover, so you're maximizing both.
I would agree that I'm not finding that upper body lifting weights
is a good way to build MEPs.
I mean, I just don't pile on the good numbers.
I get into the 80s every time I do.
But for how long?
If I bust out like – well, I do like supersets a lot,
so I'll like quickly chain from one workout to the next.
So like I'll do chest press and then I swing with my legs up and
immediately drop into my sides and then I'll do farmer's carries.
And so like,
that'll get me up into like 86,
but the highest heart rate I've gotten was from a farmer's carry.
So far I got to like 94.
Like,
yeah.
So my experience,
I'll do like seven pull-ups and then colin will slip in and i'll
sat back down and then yeah i can see why if you're busting it out back to back
yeah it's still hard but i don't want to lose gains in this month
all right well i guess i gotta hop on a bike
well if if you want woody i'd love to just chill with this young lady and watch a movie.
Sounds great.
But if you want to work out, then we can work out.
It's really your choice.
A bit of recovery might do us both some good.
Again, I would say my soreness is about a 5 out of 10.
It's your choice if we're going to work out.
It's probably about the same.
um it's your choice if we're going to work out it's probably about the same i uh but i i have found that if i start working out you know i stop thinking yeah it goes away yeah it's it's really
when i get out of bed in the morning it's like ah i'm a little stiff here and let me do a few
laps here all right all right all right here we go again yeah once you get through the first 10-15 minutes, not too bad. Yeah, yeah.
Alright.
