a baby hey troy got a baby i do how old's the baby six and a half months yeah baby's name this is vera jade uh say it again beard vera v-e-r-a oh vera vera vera vera yeah hey whenever i tell um you know i live in in California, so there's shitloads of Mexicans here. It's like I'll be like I'll be at Starbucks and I'll be like, hey, what's your name? And I'll be like, Sevan. They're like Esteban. And so I just did that. I heard your V as a B.

All those years of Spanish in school. Vera. Vera J. Cantu. Oh, my goodness. Vera, is that a girl's name? Yes, it was my grandma's name. Did you know you were going to name it after your grandma? The baby after your grandma?

No, we didn't even know if we were going to have a boy or a girl. It was a surprise all the way up until the moment. Yeah, yeah. You're like, oh, penis, vagina. All right. Yeah. But it's funny. The only name Lance and I could agree on for a girl

was vera jade and so we kept that on our list throughout the whole pregnancy and when she was born lance caught her i was like what's her name and he said vera jade oh that's awesome you really that isn't it and were you like surprised that that came out of your mouth when you said what's her name were you like what are you doing asking him like you were that that came out of your mouth when you said, what's her name? Were you like, what are you doing asking him? Like you were like having this out of my brain. Yeah, I didn't even know what I was doing. My sister, geez Louise. When my wife had Avi, I just remember the first thing she said.

She looked at me and she goes, I did it. And when I tell her about it, she's like, I really said that? I'm like, yeah, you looked right at me and you're like, I did it. I was like, yeah, you're a badass. Yeah, I think I said, Lance would have to confirm, but I think I said something like, holy shit. That was wild. Where did you end up having the baby?

We had Vera, or I had Vera, on our back porch. How did you end up outside? You know, whenever I visualized my birth and like thought about what I wanted, I knew I wanted to be in nature or have nature like in some form or fashion show up in my labor because I probably walked like anywhere from two to five miles a day and then was in the sun so much during my pregnancy. Yeah. Yeah. And I just felt super comfortable outside. So Lance and his dad built a deck on our back porch and that's where we put the tub. And I think it was way into active labor that I was like, can I get in the tub now?

And I just walked outside and got in the tub. And you were in the tub when the baby came out? Yeah, she was born in the water. Do you have neighbors? Yes, and they probably heard me. At one point during my wife's first birth, she was pretty loud. And then it was the middle of the night, two or three in the morning. And the neighbors came over.

German exchange students from UC Berkeley. And the guy knocks on the door. And the midwife answers. And he says, is everything okay? I thought it was really sweet that he came over. I hear all these noises. And they're like, yeah, someone's having a baby in here he's like okay i don't need any food and you know it's crazy not severely but a little bit i felt like we were doing something illegal totally like we're making meth in here

get out you know i didn't think about it but after the fact lance was like i asked him i was like what was i loud do you think the neighbors heard me he was like oh yeah for sure how cool yeah you um have this remarkable video that i watched twice um with my wife uh last night and it's it's pinned on top of your instagram i'm like which video and it really it really inspired uh a lot um oh oh sorry not on that one uh sorry caleb it's on the birth fit one yeah and and i want to play it it's the um sorry caleb i didn't even send you my notes. It's the it's the second one. And she's walking and talking to the camera. Yep. There it is. Oh, yeah. I want to play this. There's so much in this that's inspired so much about me.

Let's let's go ahead and play this. Here we go. So after I recovered from the wounds of liberal feminism and got clear on my values and desires, I found my king, my now husband, and we got in action in creating the life that we desired. At 40 years old, I conceived and gave birth to our precious baby girl. All natural, birth was on the back porch it was amazing as you know and people often ask me do I wish I would have had my baby girl earlier yes the answer is yes and I would probably have ten kids if I would have done this sooner however that's not my life's journey and I would probably have 10 kids if I would have done this sooner.

However, that's not my life's journey. And I would not know all the things that I knew and all the life lessons. I would not have those under my belt going into this birth experience. So I might have had a completely different birth experience than the pure bliss, magical back porch birth that I had. So it probably took me 10 to 15 years to literally get birth fit, to literally get my head out of my booty and start to live in a way that is very intentional because we birth how we live. So after I recovered from the wounds of, it is,

um, I told my wife, I'm like, Oh my God, it's, it's us in tech. You're in Texas, right?

Yeah. I told my wife, it's us in Texas. You know, my wife had her first child at 39 and then the twins at 43. And, um, and then the twins at 43. And we've had that conversation also about we would have 10 kids, probably if we would have started earlier. But also, obviously, no regrets. We wouldn't be the people that we are. Absolutely. Where were you born?

I was born in Houston, Texas. In a hospital. Of course. That's the only way to do it. And were your parents educators? They were. So my mom was a realtor at the time. And right before that, she was a chemist at Levi Strauss. My mom's very smart. My mom's very smart.

My dad's very smart. He was in home building. But they were very standard American, you know, go with what's being told to the middle class, you know. And having a hospital birth is safest. And what I came, like, long story short, what I found out was that I was actually born. My mom went into labor early at 36 weeks. She went into the hospital and they kept her with medication, trying to hold, hold out till 37 weeks. And she just had a really traumatic birth experience with me. And I didn't really even know that till this

year, which is wild because it makes sense now how I got into birth. Birth, you know, basically called me to do all this unlearning and then have a, you know, really profound, blissful experience. And were your parents Democrats? Were they liberals? Did they talk about politics around the house? No, if anything, they were conservative. And more so as I got older and found out that they're, you know, vote Republican. But I would say my dad grew up very Southern Baptist, which is a whole nother world. And my mom, she grew up in North Carolina working on tobacco farms. They both grew up very poor and, you know, put instilled a huge work ethic into me and my brother and sister.

But, yeah, they're very conservative, Christian, you know, good people. So those were your roots. When did you make the sort of the turn to, and I'm sort of projecting onto you, but when did you make the turn to like peace and love? Peace, love, happiness. Yeah, and accept everybody and it's okay. Yeah. everybody. And it's okay. Yeah. This, you know, this thing that liberal feminism, or I don't even want to say feminism, this thing that just liberals, the shield that liberals use is peace and love for everyone. Yeah. When did you make that? Well, okay, so my real mom, my mom and my

real dad split up shortly after my brother and sister were born. My brother and sister are twins. They're two years younger than me. And that was kind of not great for all of us involved. You mean when the parents break up, that's not good for the kids? Hold on, let me write that down. Parents playing bad. And I'll say, I love both my parents dearly, but they did not have the communication tools, the problem-solving tools to not bleed. And I say that, like, metaphorically, bleed all over us kids, you know. So it was a bit traumatic there. And long story short, my mom moved us, me and my brother and sister, to a town called New Braunfels, Texas. And it's a German town, like German roots, that's right on the river. And there's two rivers that run through

it. So in the summer, it's like bumping with tourists and people floating the river going to the water park called Schlurban. And I would say that town, not what it is today, because it's grown like drastically being an hour outside of Austin, but then it was a very peace, love, happiness town. It's about 15 minutes away from what is now called Texas State. But in that time it was known as Southwest Texas. And that was a very, it still is a very party school,

like collegiate party school. And so I was exposed to a ton, you know, growing up middle school, high school in the New Braunfels area. We snuck away to Mexico, we snuck away to Austin. It was quite fun, quite fun growing up um and i got exposed to you know weed alcohol everything at a young age so so is that where people started talking to you like i'll just say some things that are along the liberal values how they couch things um love everyone don't cut down trees um uh killing babies in the wound is a uh is is actually medical freedom for a woman. Doing drugs is okay. It's experimental.

That's where those things kind of, you're around those people. Then I went to college. I actually went to Texas A&M, which is a more, you know, you would think of it as a more conservative school. You know, you would think of it as a more conservative school. But I like even now, like the schools are getting lost in all the like DEI council, you know, the liberal far left values. And, you know, sorry, can I can I slip another word in there? I just realized conservatives have values. Liberals, I think, have justifications.

Oh, that's a good call yeah right they justify being racist in order to help people they justify killing babies in order to medical freedom they just it's just all justifications they don't actually have values that's why we they're always you can't ever pin them down you know what i mean totally and i think i lost sight of who i was i didn't have a foundation once my parents split up. There's no spiritual foundation. The values weren't there. That's Vera. Hi, Vera. When you go off to college and you have even more freedom, you're like, hell yeah. That's

kind of where I would say I got lost in who I am and who I wanted to show up in this world was through high school and college for sure. And then so after college, what did you do after that? What was your next journey? Yeah, so I had no idea what I wanted to do except that I knew I wanted to help people. And my last one of the last. And that's the good hippie thing. I was like that too. You want to help people. And my last one of the last. And that's the good hippie thing. I was like that too. You want to help people.

Yeah. That is interesting about the left. It's whether it's sincere or not, it's couched in a lot of that rhetoric. We want to help people. That's like another one of the shields that we have to help people. Yeah. There,

as you say, their justifications definitely, you know, warms my heart, you know? Yeah, of course. Okay. I want to help people. I took off a semester at A&M and traveled to Africa, Tanzania, Tanzania. And that's where I was exposed to my first bit of medical corruption. And instead of going to medical school, I decided to go to

chiropractic school because I realized we weren't saving the world with pharmaceuticals. That was like my first realization. So I came back and it was about 2005, 2006, and I decided to go to chiropractic school. Can I, can I interrupt you? What was the medical corruption you saw? What was the. Yeah. So it clicked in me. Like we were in Africa, we were walking miles to go to these remote villages and we had an overseeing doc, like an MD and we would do medical triage and then we would prescribe a medication. And, um,

you know, the, the case that got me, the case that broke my heart wide open was this mom that brought her son to me. It was probably about six years old and, um, had lost sensation, a little bit of,

um, you know, movement paralysis on one side of his body. And long story short, they wanted to prescribe him basically a sedative because he also had seizures. And, you know, what are they like, it just hit me like, what are they going to do when we're gone? Like when they run out of medication, they're going to think this boy's possessed again, gone like when they run out of medication they're gonna think this voice possessed again that he's not healed he got worse and at that moment i realized i don't have any tools i don't know what to do for this woman um but it's sure as heck not medication because that's not what her culture

knows that's not what her family knows so i just took her outside and I was like, I don't know what to do, but give you a hug. And, you know, we had a translator there and I was crying. She was crying. And then I found the only calling card I could and pay phone and called my stepdad at the time. I was like, I don't want to go to medical school. I can't. It's terrible. It's not.

I'm not in alignment with it. You know, he's probably thinking, oh my God, like you need a job, Lindsay. So he was like, that's a healthy response. I like that. I'm okay. He told me you can come home and figure your life out, but you got to have a job. So I waited tables for three months until I got into chiropractic school. And I saved $10,000 and finally moved to Los Angeles because that was the place I wanted to go. I wanted to see California.

And the premise, and the premise of chiropractic chiropractory is that the body can heal itself, right? That's one of the, the body can feel the body and we just simply remove the interference. the body can feel the body and we just simply remove the interference. Let's Judy Reed. Is this the company Asia? Bartow's wife is a part of. Yes. Leah is our online program director for birth fit. Oh, we found a, I have a new idea. Abortion fit. Probably not my best idea.

Michael Lorente. Lindsay was the heart and soul of deuce gym. She's become an incredible leader and a wonderful mother. Thank you. Sabir and Kelly just joined. Is she breastfeeding? Yes. Okay, we're going to get to this question, but give us a second, Eric. Can Lindsay speak on the birth leadership coach process? Asking for my wife, 10 years L&D nurse.

I don't know what that is. And moving toward becoming a lactation consultant eric we will get to that awesome yeah give give me a second okay so you end up in los you want to visit los angeles and you kill two birds with one stone you come to california and go to chiropractories yeah yeah so like i said i was lost i got even more lost in the beginning of los angeles but is that the hive of more of the liberal thinking, right? Yes, absolutely. Right, LA.

Absolutely, because I was going out in Hollywood. I was meeting friends. While at Texas A&M, I worked study hall, and I would check all the athletes in the study hall. And so some of these athletes became security at some of the best clubs in LA and Vegas. Vegas is only three hours from LA. So I kept partying right out of high school, college and into Los Angeles. And then I would say I finally, well, I got a job. Like I always knew keep my grades up and get a job. You know, then I can somewhat look good on paper um but still i

was i was lost soulfully lost and um i got a job working in the industry as they call it in the hollywood industry and um i was basically graduated from chiropractic school yeah i graduated i became a doctor of chiropractic in 2009 okay and then took a job took a job traveling the world um with a guy named tom tom cruise and um really really yeah i can say it now because it's been over 15 years do i know him some people might know him um it's that tom cruise yeah wow so i was working with your husband could kind of be the latin version of that guy now you married the latin version of that hispanic version crazy um and then i worked for a company called sports institute and i got really exposed to like how i did not want to be a chiropractor.

What did you wait? Whoa, whoa, hold on. What did you do for Tom? Like you cracked his neck and shit. Yeah. Adjustments, body work.

You know, I would meet with stunt directors and make sure it was safe for him. Relatively safe. See what kind of building he was going to jump through. See what kind of dance moves he was going to do. Sprints, you know, depending on what was coming up in his movie did you enjoy that was that fun i actually really enjoyed it because it was like problem solving all the time um however i was on like when i was working with him at that moment i was on one client mostly

at the time um And that being him. That being him. And he was a very nice guy. He would provide treatment care for a bunch of his stunt team, take care of a bunch of his stunt team. Very intense. And his work ethic by far exceeds my work ethic um so it is what he portrays he does seem like an absolute savage workaholic like when you hear him talking about work or you hear him

being interviewed about movies oh absolutely his commitment is like almost psychotic yeah and i think that's what makes him great how well he does you know and he he wanted to train like an olympic athlete and um the company i worked with worked with at the time we worked with olympic athletes and so we just you know implemented kind of the recovery and um prep work for him that we would the olymp. Um, and he takes great care of his body. He's like super intentional way before, you know, all these meal plans and everything came out, he was eating, you know, very clean. Uh, Lindsay, how do you get a job like that? It's basically who, you know, um, because, you know, to be quite honest, I probably didn't have the qualifications. You were brand new. You were green. He was like, you experiment, to be quite honest, I probably didn't have the qualifications.

You were brand new. You were green. He was like, you experimented on him, right? Yeah. And so the doc I interned with, he was actually a professional, like, I don't say a professional, but semi-professional runner, athlete for Portugal and through the track circuit he ended up at UCLA ended up in Los Angeles and he had worked his way up um and so it was just like the right time and I interned with him and you know we would started flip-flopping and me him and another guy would take turns on traveling with Tom or working the office. And of course, by default, we came across many different celebrities and athletes due to referrals. And you're in Los Angeles. Just so you know, in full transparency, that's not a real baby that was just a baby uh a fake baby brought on for the

birth fit interview as part of the uh ambiance to give the feeling that uh lindsey actually worked with babies so we've named this baby we've named this baby vera um sarah cox miss lindsey i saw her weekly when i was training at dog town uh Mama. Well, thank you. Those were the days. God, it's such a small world. That's from Sarah Cox. That's from another one of the show's sponsors. Crazy.

Awesome. Crazy, crazy, crazy. Okay, so you have that job, that gig for 15 years, making sure that... No, not 15 years. It was like 15 years ago. Okay, okay. So you have that job for a bit of keeping Mr. Cruises together, working with him to keep his body together. And then what happens after that? you know um and um it wasn't how I wanted to practice and towards the end of this I was also

exposed to the um CrossFit world and at the same time I started using everything I learned from the Olympic athletes from Tom's world from you know the the industry world and using that on CrossFit athletes and so at the, I think it was like 2011, I was working with Hacks Pack and Lindsay Valenzuela, Sam Briggs. Working with them as a chiropractor. Yeah. Okay. Ruth from New Zealand, who is awesome.

And the Hack Pack, they're the one, and I think her name was Lindsayindsey too not lindsey valenzuela that was the lady who during semi-finals was breastfeeding uh in between taylor richards lindsey okay okay what was her taylor richardson lindsey taylor richards lindsey she's like one hell of an athlete were you at that event where she was breastfeeding in between i think it was in outside of denver no um that was that was amazing when i saw that yeah it was like that was that was something that'll stick with me till the day i die in between events she would just run and they won yeah between events she would run off and just breastfeed and then they'd call her name and she'd pluck the baby off the tit and then get back out there. Oh my God. You know, when you come across these athletes and like, I've been exposed to so many athletes being at the Sandy at like Chula Vista center and through the movies and now through

CrossFit, but she, I, by far one of my favorite athletes. Oh, that's crazy. I don't even recognize her there. Yeah. Yeah. Look how big. Oh, she's so young. Oh, really quick. I apologize. The crowd is really rude. Can we get a penis doctor on the show one day? Sure. I have questions. Sure. No problem. And we can fire some questions. She knows a lot of stuff. stuff um by the way if anyone's offended by the term liberal let me let me just help you with this and we'll just couch it as this for now yeah liberals and conservatives let's say want the same thing the difference is this liberals want it for the end or conservatives want it for the individual liberals are willing to take the rights away from individuals and give them to groups gosh so if you're if you're a liberal and you can't figure out why anyone wants to be conservative we Gosh, couldn't have said it better. under the abstraction that it'll make things better and it won't you have to you have to you have to fight for the rights for individuals and then the groups will fall in place our our way kills two birds with one stone yours actually for every step forward you take you take two steps

back yes there's no personal responsibility in there exactly and so if i don't mean you know when i was liberal would bother me that people would categorize us all together, say it like that. So kind of think of it like that. We're the same. But but you have to remember, you're willing to take rights away from individuals and give them to groups under some guide that you can socially construct things better. Whereas the true conservative really wants to keep the rights with the individual. really wants to keep the rights with the individual. Yeah. Okay. So, um, so you, so you, uh, so you get in the CrossFit space. Did you like CrossFit right away? I loved it. Um, you know, in my chiropractic world, people kept saying, Oh, this CrossFit thing was dangerous. And I was like, well, let me, let me see, let me try it out. You know, it's just like, it was like drugs. Let me try it, and I'll tell you for myself. Right. And so I tried one class, and I was hooked.

I was like, this is the most efficient way to train, especially as a professional, as a woman, whatever. 60 minutes in and out, you're good. So I drank the juice. I drank the Kool-Aid right away. I took CrossFit Level 1. I took CrossFit Level 2. um so i drank the juice i drank the kool-aid right away i took crossfit level one i took crossfit level two um i went on to do strongman i took powerlifting crossfit football i took whatever yeah you're obsessed yeah and then at that time my ex and i and two others, we started a park gym.

It was called Functional Fitness on the Bluffs. We would haul equipment out to the park and set up for a 7 a.m. class and a 5.30 class. And then finally we found a space in Venice, California, and we opened Deuce Gym. Oh, shit. You're one of the – I didn't know that. Yes. Holy cow. Yeah, so we opened Deuce gym oh shit you're one of the i didn't know that yes holy cow yeah so we opened deuce gym in a garage in 900 square feet for those of you who don't know um deuce is i don't know if it's still to this day but it was a place of kind of like crossfit folklore like everyone knew it

it had great pictures there was always someone who was someone there totally the community looked really cool people dressed really funky you know you saw someone working out in a leotard a cheetah leotard it was no big deal it had that it was it was a really strong beautiful human beings and with a little bit of wackiness in it was it always looked like a cool place yeah okay great community whenever um i appreciate like i say lindsey was the heart and soul of douche gym like i really really wanted to make the community everything and i would say that chapter that i was there meant a lot to me for sure but but once again that's also the hive those there there is a group in that community the vast majority of people there were the uh i hate to use these examples though were the first to put up the blm signs put on their masks and um and take the injection right i mean

that's that's that's that's that community i don't mean Deuce Gym in general, but I mean that cohort of people feels a lot of – that's a social pressure bubble, that whole Los Angeles area. What's interesting, you say that. One of my best friends is still there at Deuce living in Los Angeles because she has a few businesses there. There's a few businesses there. But other than that, I lost a lot of friends initially from that douche gym bubble, from that L.A. bubble. Because after two weeks of sitting at home for the scandemic or plandemic, whatever you want to call it, I was like, okay, this is horseshit. Like, this doesn't make any sense to me. So I started calling it out. And, you know, people didn't like that do you remember

what the first thing that you saw was where it made you go that something's not right this this seems weird well um this can't be accurate it was just an eerie feeling of and at that time, I lived on East 2nd Street in Austin. Like I just moved from L.A. back to Austin. Which is another hive, which is kind of another weird place, right? Yeah. Yeah. And I'd been there for about two years, but everything shut down. So even when I went on walks, it was like eerie feeling.

And as somebody that grew up with asthma, I was like, this is not a respiratory thing. This is like a metabolic thing. This makes zero sense. And it just, the more I saw on the news, if I would watch the news, you know, it just didn't add up. And for me, like one of the things that are like tracking the cases instead of the death rate, um, that was bizarre to me. And there was no, no zero mention of prevention. Yeah. That was weird. That's really weird. That's still weird to this day that it's not mentioned. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so yeah, those things kind of didn't add up to me. And then when I started, um, I basically was like, okay, I need to get out of Austin. People are weird. They're not living their lives.

And I went South. I went to new Broncos where I grew up and I would play around and people were just living their lives like normal. You know, they, they had, they had seen through the bullshit. Let me, let me show you this article, by the way, that came out today just in, I don't know, to beat a dead horse. This is from the Australian health minister. We believe it's time to stop using the term long COVID, said Dr. John Garrard, Queensland's chief health officer who oversaw the newly released study.

They wrongly imply there is something unique and exceptional exceptional about longer-term symptoms associated with this virus he explained yeah so there's no such thing as long covet if you didn't know if you didn't but stefan i've had it for a year yeah that's because you're just sick for a year because you're eating a canola oil and lollipops. Yeah. Okay. So you go back to your home town and that was refreshing for you that you,

yeah, I would drive. It was only an hour, maybe 45 minutes. And there's this jujitsu gym that opened up and, um, Rob Wolf and Kirk Parsley. I don't know if you know them. They taught me. I know Rob Wolf, of course. They talked me into going. That's when I started jujitsu.

Nobody, I would say, people that do jujitsu just shit on all of what the government said about COVID because you're wallowing around and people

sweat their saliva. Like it was awesome. You know, it's crazy though. You know, it's crazy though. Lindsay in Los Angeles, the jujitsu community embraced COVID full, full, uh, Oh my God. Good. They still couldn't break out the Los Angeles community. Yeah. It's so trippy. And obviously where I was at in santa cruz uh the majority of it embraced it also they would they kept the gyms open but the coaches they would ask the coaches and teachers to put on masks i mean my kids i didn't let my kids wear the mask yeah but there would be kids out there and i i still go to tournaments where there's kids wearing masks no yes i'm gonna go to one saturday and i'm gonna see it like oh just, so just a side note, I just had a new patient at my office and she brought her son

in probably around nine years old now, but he was in the kindergarten class in 2020. And he, when they sent everybody home, the kindergartners got iPads. That's how they started learning. home the kindergarteners got iPads that's how they started learning and then when they returned to school the kindergarteners had masks so now this kid is in speech therapy and trying to figure out how to communicate effectively what bedwetting because of stress and you know trying to do the nervous system based chiropractic care to supplement everything. So that was the freaking kindergarten class. Like, that just makes me so sad.

I saw something that more than 50% of a kid learning how to speak is through lip reading. It's not even auditory. Facial expressions. Yeah. Say it again. The facial expressions, watching the lips move, like all of this basically from the nose down and so when you cover the teachers even if you keep the kid unmasked you shouldn't have kids around people who are masked period yeah yeah yeah i had a friend he got an exemption for his kid in school at the preschool his kid was the only kid who didn't

wear a mask and his kid still got all the learning disabilities that all the other kids got in the school because the teachers and students were masked what are you doing fascinating okay so so you're there and uh so you're there and when do you meet um when do you meet lance when i moved back to texas oh so right away you meet him well Well, I met him actually in 2020. So, um, officially like in person in flesh, um, you know, have you started birth fit at this point? Yeah, I started birth fit in 2013. Okay. Let's go back there. Sorry. Why did you start? Let's go back there. Tell me about birth fit, the birth of birth fit. Yeah, so by this time, we had moved into the gym. I was a chiropractor, and I became a birth doula.

And so I had seen my first birth through a patient client that wanted me to attend her birth. And, you know, for me, that was the switch. I was like, this is the olympics this is sorry this is the crossfit games this is everything the baby's not um stressing me at all so don't worry it's zero i gotta try to keep her face out of it for dad yeah vera isn't um it's not affecting me at all your your picture is so choppy that we can't even see the baby just so you know oh okay yeah your internet's so shitty that we are only listening to you um so yeah i started birth fit basically where the intersection of the chiropractic world the

fitness world and the birth world came together. And that was, I just started sharing my experience, like training women in the birth scenario, misconceptions that I would hear like with from midwives or obese, like, Oh, don't lift this or stop doing, you know,

don't get your heart rate above certain, certain 120 beats per minute stop doing, you know, don't get your heart rate above certain, certain 120 beats per minute. And, you know, all of that was just kind of, I just started digging in and I was like, wait, this doesn't sound right. You know? And then did you come up with this idea of birth fit? Like, was that you? Yeah. So I was just kind of like messing around and I was like, we need to get women literally fit for birth,

ready for birth mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. And it's more than just physical. It's mind, body, soul.

And when they're ready for the birth experience, they're literally birth fit. And so that's, I kind of started as my own self journey, like, okay, what do I need to do to be birth fit? And so then I started exploring my cycle training with my cycle. I'm using the fertility awareness method, I got off birth control. And that's a whole that's, that's, that could be a whole other podcast, just talking about how depleting of nutrients and vitamins birth control is and subduing hormones, pheromones, things like that to really even make you choose a wrong partner or go down that route. Like, you know, go down that route. I've been hearing more and more of that.

Are there legs to that, that basically you become attracted to a different partner? Totally, because your pheromones are different. Wow. Yeah, and smell is a big thing when you're choosing a partner, when you're, you know, trying to make love, things like that. Yeah, you know what's crazy you say that is um i was my wife is the only woman i've ever known who's like talked about my smell and like she'll she'll just she just smells me like she'll just come by me and take a hit she's done that for 20 years you know just like walk by me and just take a big old whiff off me like i'm like

i'm some cocaine or something you are to her for sure yeah it's crazy yeah that's why i tell lance i'm like you're smelling fresh today yeah isn't that isn't that a trip um okay so so like any good scientist you start experimenting on yourself it's funny you see that with just a lot of uh a lot of people of people in my sphere, a lot of great people. I mean, that's what they do. They start, I had this guy on who's only eating raw chicken for a hundred days and I just love him because he experiments on himself. It's wild. It's a, it's a wild Instagram account. You should check it out. I mean, he's basically debunking the bacteria thing i mean okay you know what i mean like hey if you're healthy like there's bacteria in all of us like yeah you know i mean you were probably raised the same way i was you can't even touch chicken

with your bare hands right yeah but yeah this guy the raw chicken experiment guy that's crazy i know it's so great and with the cool thing too, he's not even like, he's nothing like the liver King. You know what I mean? He's not like some big buff guy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he mostly, he doesn't, he just does that for Instagram. He mostly just stuff raw. Okay. So, so you start birth and when does it, when does it actually like you start taking on clients and you're like, oh, man, this thing has legs. I personal trained clients right away. And then I started doing small groups for, like, the prenatal education stuff.

And, like, before that, I was teaching hypnobirthing. So I started teaching hypnobirthing and childbirth education before. That's the class my wife and I took by the way the hypnobirthing class it's a great class um it was a great class and it was that teacher who told us she walked up to us one day and she's like hey i know you guys said you're having a hospital birth but you don't want that and we're like we don't and she's like no she's like not because i'm saying so but i can hear with the way you guys talk. Yeah. Yeah.

She's like, you're describing a home birth. She read right through y'all. And I'm like, no, we're not. We want the safety of a hospital. She's like, that's not what I'm hearing you say. She said safety is relative. Yeah. I mean, yeah.

And she basically, you know, and after taking the course, you know, she lets you know, Hey, the, um, uh, not the doulas. What are they called? The birth mamas, the midwives, the midwife. She said, Hey, they're going to be the most, uh, they're going to be the most concerned out of anyone. They're not going to let you have a fucked up birth at home. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hypnobirthing was cool. Right. Right. You know, Lindsay, she said there were a couple of things that were like the linchpins. But one of them was she said you could take a woman who's completely unconscious and her body could have still birthed a baby. Oh, for sure.

And when she said that, I was like, that really got my wheels spinning. I was like, wait a minute here. And that makes sense. Woman's body is not going to keep a baby in it. No, like your body knows what to do absolutely i mean you can push out a splinter it sure as hell ain't letting a baby grow up in there to be like 13 years old okay so so you have you have 11 years of experience now wow that's so you immediately think about yeah that's wild so you immediately are like hey um i'm going to

start working with pregnant women and you build a pretty big clientele and you get a reputation for working with pregnant women. Yeah. And I saw like the gray area for me that I wanted to fill was fitness and movement. Because I absolutely believe that movement is life and that we need a base level of fitness just as humans to live. And now I do strongly believe that you need a base level of fitness just as humans to live. And now I do strongly believe that you need a base level of fitness to show up to birth. You got to be able to embrace movement because birth is a dance and it happens in all planes of motion. You know, you mom and baby are dancing. Basically, baby's coming down. Mom's dancing baby out and down.

Right. And you guys don't stay still. It's not like a hospital where you throw your legs up. Like the wife's like, I'm going to the bathroom. I'm going to the tub. I'm coming to the living room. Yeah. Like she was all over the place. My wife was all over the place. I probably spent the most time on my hands and knees. And if I didn't have shoulder strength, like I put a face plant. Right. Right.

shoulder strength like I put a face plant in right right um and during this process when do you start thinking about maybe did you think at this time you weren't going to have kids yourself well yeah I never like I was somebody that was like I don't I don't know if having kids is for me because until I became a doula I had equated kids having a baby to like birth in the hospital. But then when I became a doula and was exposed to a different way, then I was like, oh, okay, this, I could do something here. Like I, I want to explore this option. For yourself, you started thinking, so around 2013,

you started thinking maybe I'll grow a baby in me. Yeah. And at that time I was in a, in a relationship. And so, you know, the conversation definitely came up. She wants to look at the screen. I don't blame her. Who doesn't look at me, look at me. at the screen i don't blame her who doesn't look at me look at me um but yeah so then that's you know i was like if i'm gonna have a baby one day i gotta be birth fit so started experimenting with movement nutrition you know lifestyle stuff sleep um, like getting my circadian rhythm in check, all that good stuff. Hey, um, is there, let's say you're a voice coach, right? And then you've been a voice coach for 20

years. And then all of a sudden, one day you have to go on the stage and perform, but really all you've been as a voice coach, you kind of went through that, right? So for 10 years, you were teaching people about pregnancy and then it's like all right lindsey your turn was that was that trippy you're like oh shit well it was it was like i did have a little little bit in my head like oh okay like so many eyes are on me yeah like hey you better just breathe this baby out and not feel any pain and home and yeah and then have the baby and just walk over to the stove and stir your broth you know what i mean yeah yeah but uh one of my mentors um yolanda norris clark she you know she's

Yolanda Norris Clark she you know she's Val Housewife on social media but um I was like how do you not let that get to your head oh she's wild by the way she yeah you know I don't intimidate I follow her on Instagram she intimidates the fuck out of me she does not give one one f no I would be really curious to meet her husband. Oh, for sure. I would be really curious how he manages that, but we'll come back to that. I got some questions about husbands for you. Okay. So, so you're talking to her about your, your, your.

Yeah. And she's like, you just got to live your life. Like you're according to your values and your desires. She was like, I think about that all the time because you know people are looking at me because she's had now 10 free births at home and um you know she's like there's always going to be haters out there um what's her instagram again what is it bell house Bau Housewife. B-A-U House. I think it's H-A-U Housewife. Yeah, here she is.

She's had 10 kids. 10 free births, all born at home with no assistance. Oh, so she just squats down and gets the baby herself? Yeah. Yeah, she's a savage so god she looks so good i'm not a big fan of bangs but that's just a personal yeah i cannot believe how beautiful she is and she's at it's wild oh oh oh oh my goodness and our wow yeah look at this chick this is crazy that's her tin so that's your lady that's your lady you what she's the one you talk to when um

yeah she's like um i definitely talked to her to her a lot throughout pregnancy and um she what there's one question i asked her i said how early you know what's early to you or would you show up to a hospital she's like there's no reason i would ever go to the hospital um but then she replied also that you know she's been support for women that went into labor at 35 and 36 weeks at home and they had a great experience and it's wild and what's what's legitimate gestation is 42 weeks 40 weeks is 40 weeks is average but then anywhere from 37 to 42 would be considered full term yeah avi came out at 43 and i remember the midwife were tripping a little bit. Not tripping that he wasn't okay, but just tripping because of the law. Because in California, you can't do that.

Yeah, it's pretty much like that in every state, like Texas too. But the wild thing is, for me to ask her that, and then Vera, she was born at 36 weeks and two days. Holy shit. Yeah. So you're just sitting there. So what are those things called? Braxton Hicks. So you're just sitting around and then like three days before she comes and you're like, hey, Lance.

She's like, what? You're like. It's good. Yeah. No, it's like one friday my water started leaking and if you're counting it was exactly when i turned 36 weeks uh-huh and um i knew exactly what it was and this this goes into like you know the all eyes on me like oh god um and i'll try to you know tell the story super short but um you don't have to i'm good i'm good i like this shit i like all the details hey to, you know, tell the story super short, but, um, you don't have to, I'm good. I'm good. I like this shit. I like all the details. Hey,

how do you know it's the water? Um, does it smell a certain way or does it have a texture? How do you know it's your, it's just like a cloud. I would say almost like a cloud, clear, cloudy film, but like intuitively I just knew. Um, and i was at an airbnb in new brumples with my sister and um we were gonna have a girls weekend and um are you pretty big at 36 weeks or did you have a big like a big yeah crazy okay okay um i i definitely was large for me. And I like basically was like, oh, okay. My water's leaking. Taylor, that's my sister. She goes, oh my God, what do we need to do?

I go, well, I definitely need breakfast. So she gave me breakfast. And then I called Lance. I let him know he went to work for half a day. And then we met my midwife at home. And this is important to note because my midwife who we had worked with throughout my pregnancy as a CPM, a certified professional midwife. And in Texas, they can only attend out of hospital births between 37 weeks and 42 weeks per their license.

So we meet the midwife here at the house and she's basically like, she's like, my hands are tied. I need to refer you to the hospital to get induced. And we're like, no, like that doesn't sit well with us. So we sign. And that's hard too, because you are very, at that point, you're very intimate with people. Don't know your midwife's doing all your gynecological exams. You and the husband sit around with her on the bed. You ask questions.

It's a very intimate relationship. I mean, our midwives were like our homies. Like they, like, like they would be examining my wife and I would just be in the room always, you know, and always happened on my wife's bed. And like, yeah, there it's, it's kind of crazy. So for her to say that, um, it would be easy for you to go to a weird spot at that point, like feel betrayed almost for something. Right. Even though they just, they just don't want to go to jail. They don't want to go to jail they don't want to go to jail she had a student under her and um the and she knew me um because i throughout my pregnancy i declined vaginal exams most tests no ultrasounds i was pretty even from your midwife you declined vaginal exams yeah oh interesting okay. Which is good in hindsight,

considering my water broke early, um, because less risk for infection. Um, Oh, interesting. Vaginal exams cause a risk for infection. I guess you're putting something in there. Once your water leaks, then I would say stay away from putting anything in there. I would say stay away from putting anything in there. Right. Okay. Right. Yeah.

Um, so we were kind of stuck, you know, like you, like you said, you could feel betrayed, whatever, but we didn't, we knew,

um, like we felt good. Like I was healthy, everything, everything else felt good. And we literally, did you own a stethoscope? No,

I, uh, I do own a stethoscope, but we didn't, we use the blood pressure cuff. I had bought a stethoscope and I would always be listening to the babies. Like from the second she got pregnant, I was always listening around. That's awesome. Yeah. But intuitively I knew the hospital wasn't the thing for me.

And we sat around, we said, okay, let's, let's call Dr. Stu. Dr. Stu Fishbein has been another mentor, guiding light of mine. And he's, he was an out of hospital OB in Southern California for so long. And he has a podcast called birthing instincts. And so we called him up on FaceTime and, you know, he was super, super kind to get on FaceTime with us on a Friday evening. And I think it was great for Lance just to be reassured by this, you know, older gentleman doc who has seen so many, so many births, thousands, like by default in Southern California, he got a ton of multiples and many births thousands like by default in southern california he got a ton of multiples and breach births because they want they still wanted a home birth or that birth experience but um you know they um dr stew was their only ob option for out of hospital so his stats are

still amazing when the feet are pointed down. Yeah. Booty down. Booty down. Okay. So we got on the phone with him and he was like, Hey, you could go a whole week with your water leaking. But I guarantee you'll have that baby in two to four days. We were like, Oh shit. Okay. We had nothing set up.

We hadn't even bought our family car yet. Um, so we're like, okay, he goes, what you need to do, you either need to find a certified nurse midwife in Texas. Cause they can attend birth at 36 weeks, or you need to plan a free birth you need to get okay with doing a free birth um and so and you had the certified one it was just she couldn't be there legally right because she was a cpm she was not a cnm oh c okay okay yeah so you know we basically had to ask ourselves like okay if everything went just dreamlike, where would you want to be? And you want to be at home. And then we asked ourselves, okay, if nothing went according to planned, worst case scenario, where would you want to be? And we'd want to be at home.

And I think that's those are the two best questions you can ask yourself if you're trying to decide where to birth your kiddo. And home was it. You know, Lance was saying, you know, I can't imagine, you know, being in a hospital and having to decide between staying with you or staying with baby. Because if we're in the hospital, I'm 40 years old, they're going to consider me high risk immediately when I walk through the door. Immediately. Immediately. Yep. And they're going to hate on you because you didn't come in earlier.

For sure. And they're going to consider me high risk because I didn't take the GBS test, the group strep B test. They're going to consider me just positive for group strep B. group strep b test they're going to consider me just positive for group strep b right um and when the baby's born prior to 37 weeks at most hospitals they're automatically taken to nicu right and that's oh we couldn't imagine that so then they're going to start feeding your kid shit and poking out yes yes um so we made the choice okay Let's let's we're doing it at home. I'd run into one of my certified nurse midwife friends at a dance class the day before.

And it was like serendipitous. So I texted her and I said, Hey, Lauren, Lauren Foreman. So if you're in Austin, she's a great midwife. Do you want to attend my birth this weekend? And Hey, just so people know too, midwife schedules are crazy. Getting a midwife on short notice is crazy because they have a lot of like sleep issues and not like they have trouble sleeping, but they have to be, their schedules have to be really refined in order to be prepared for their two or three or four clients they have. So to get one on short notice is not, it's not like, hey hey will you come over and fix my toilet it's not like that at all no um yeah uh they're they're on call schedules wild yeah crazy they devote their whole lives to

their clients yeah when they come to your house they have like you have to have like food prepared for them and then they got they even like sleep around in the room and shit like they're there for three days like you got to make and that because they have to be on their a game yep they um so lauren agreed and um she was like can i get your file from your previous midwife i said yes um she checked it out she was like oh you're good she was like can i do doppler listen to baby's heartbeat so she came over this was saturday now listen to baby's heartbeat in the afternoon she was like oh baby sounds great and by this time i was having late let me tell you lance was stoked when he heard that lance is freaking out but he's not telling you no lance is so calm cool and collected

because the whole birth i'm freaking out but I'm acting so fucking cool. I'm just chilling. Yeah, so baby's heartbeat was good, even through contraction. And then Lauren left, went and hung out with one of her friends around us. And then probably about two to three hours later, labor picked up. And by this time, I had acupuncturists come over. I drank a castor oil shake, you know, castor oil. It's going to work.

Yeah, I did. I did a little bit, not the whole deal. Like I put like half the dose, but I was like, I'm already in it. Like, let's send it. And if it's, if it's going to work, it's going to work. I did two times the dose for my wife and didn't tell her. Oh my God. She had the shits forever.

Dude, it was. And I took her for a walk away from the house. And so she starts basically shitting herself. And she's like, well, yeah, you gotta take me home. I'm all fucked up. I'm like, no, no. I brought you a clean set of clothes and some wipes. I had them in the backpack.

She didn't even know. I was prepared. And she went into a bathroom and we changed her up and then put clean clothes on her. She's like, dude, you got to take me home. I'm going to have this baby. But the castor oil is crazy, right? Yeah. And I would say for anybody, like, if it's going to work, it's going to work.

And take it when you're already having contractions. Like, don't take it before. She wasn't having contractions. And it just, like, it went from zero to y'all dude. It was crazy, but the same thing, her water broke. Right. And she, she wasn't having contractions and the baby's been in there 43 weeks. So I didn't tell her, but I made her a double dose and I mixed it with like a chocolate ice cream and to this day she won't eat she basically hates ice cream now i've destroyed ice cream for that's hilarious yeah oh okay okay so so you take a little castor oil that exacerbates the contractions yeah well i would say i was already pretty much there okay but then active labor

picked up probably around 8 p. This Saturday night. And I just go in it like so inward. And I think I'm naked by this time. I'm either on all fours in our living room or in the bedroom. And Lance Lance is amazing. Like he's totally my rock. He was quiet. He got me water whenever I needed it, turned on the shower when I wanted to get in the shower. He was amazing. And, you know, if you ask him now, he told me, you know, I was doing those hip squeezes and I could feel your body ripping apart. And he was like, was it painful? Or could you feel it i was like no like i would not use the word pain to describe birth at all like it was it was the best trip of my life wow wow yeah my wife disappeared like before my eyes that inward thing you're saying like i was doing all

that stuff too squeezing her and like staying quiet and getting everything she needs but she was gone yeah i was in another world for sure she wasn't even there it was a trip yeah not in a bad way like in a good way yeah but but but but but you're no one's going with her no she solo journey gotta take that yeah solo tripping and like with each contraction i just kept thinking thinking, okay, go deeper, surrender more. And then, you know, I will share, there was one bit where it got super intense and I was on the toilet, which we call the dilation station. And that's where, you know, as Yolanda about housewife will say, you can either choose to be a victim or, you know,

take radical responsibility. And I, I had to, in that moment, think I get to do this. I get to have this contraction. I get to birth my baby. Did you prep that mantra before? Oh yeah. I would, I said mantras every single day. So you, so you prepped that up in case like shit got weird. Yeah. You drew from, okay. Okay. Yeah. And I think that's so powerful because yeah, the the the contraction real quick a distinction here you said in case you get in your head which is different than going inward when you're referring going inward to soldier you're talking about going into your body yeah you're you're you know you know 99 of people don't know what that is right going into the body

yeah so primal brain um more like your limbic system. Because when you are in that thinking brain, you're not, you're not relaxed. You're not, you're still on this planet and you cannot stay on this planet to have a baby, you know, to expand, to go to, to enter the portal of birth. So yeah, it's, I would say the mindset piece, like the fitness is like the bottom of the triangle and then up the track, like the foundation is mindset, like right on top of that. So mantras were so big and prayer was so big. And I would say them out loud every day during pregnancy. Like I am worthy of the birth. I desire, I am enough. I get to do this. I get to be a mother. Um, you know, and I think that that was the one you use when she hit, hit the fan.

When the crossroads came, you, you said, um, I get to do this. I get to do this. Yes. I get to, this is my choice. I get to be here and that's powerful like we always have a choice in everything um and then the other thing that helped me when it was super intense was visualizing the amazing women that i had stood by you know prior that i was their doula so i would start to visualize let's say say my friend, Ashley or Leah or Kat or whoever, Hannah. And like many women have done this before me. They believe in me. They know I can. Oh, believe in that's huge too, right? Lance believes in you having people believe in you.

Yeah. And so I think like the fact that I believed in birth, I said it out loud. I made a choice like each time, each breath, like I get to do this. Like there was no nobody at my birth that ever doubted the physiological process of birth. You know, I think that's really important. But yeah, then finally I walked outside into the tub and Lance was there. Lauren was there and my previous midwife. So it had come full circle. Lauren had asked if my previous midwife could attend.

And I said, absolutely. You know, we had a relationship like you were talking about. And she wasn't nervous at that point she's like fuck it she threw caution to the wind and came yeah she asked me if it was okay and i said yeah um and i was in the tub and i could just feel now vera moving down and i just worked with my breath and worked with her and she would come she would come out a little bit go back in come out go back in and um there was a I was like on my hands and knees and a few times Lance would say stand up and shake it out and I would stand up shake it out wiggle my booty and then a big contraction would

come um and then finally when it was time I could feel her head like i reached down and i could feel her head and then i was like lance you better get in because we're doing this um and it was awesome like i didn't tear i didn't you know have any sort of hiccups in that department my placenta came out very smoothly and so once the placenta comes out that's the completion was the baby small since it's 36 weeks like did you see the baby and you're like oh it's not cooked no she was six like six six which is okay yeah my kids yeah my kids were six six seven six um and she went she latched almost immediately like within a couple hours. Yeah. If I would have waited until 40 weeks, she would have been 10 pounds at 40 weeks.

Wow. I know. She's a little chunky monkey. So everything normal? Everything was fine. Yeah. Everything completely normal. Yeah. Yeah.

We let her cord pulse all the way out, and then we did the cord burning ceremony. Yeah. We stayed in we were really strict about the 30 days of lying in just because she was a month early what does that mean 30 days of lying in so i vera and i for sure stayed in and around the house for 30 days oh yeah yeah yeah we got some sunshine via the back porch. We started going on little walks around two weeks postpartum. Lance had a full two weeks off of work because he's an electrician now. Bless you. Bless you. And people dropped off food. It was, they were awesome.

Our community was awesome. I couldn't, you know, thank them enough, but, um, yeah, we really honored the slowest fast journey of the postpartum for sure. You know, what's crazy is so when our babies were born, we, I don't remember anyone telling us any of that. Um, but we basically, my wife had the first baby and like you said, so the baby comes out an hour later. I don't know. A few minutes later, the placenta comes out. Then an hour later, you cut the umbilical cord. And then the baby's feeding on the boob.

And then everyone leaves your house and you're just there with the baby. Yeah. No one's saying anything. Oh, my God. We never even bathed the baby. No, we didn't. We didn't do anything. And my wife just sat there and fed the baby on a, on a, we, I got us a, we got a nice recliner. That was like the only fancy thing we got. I spent, you know, 1500 bucks on a recliner and, and then she fed the baby there

for a month. And then with the twins, Lindsay, she didn't leave the house for 90 days. I believe it. Lindsay, she didn't leave the house for 90 days. I believe it. And my wife's crazy fit, crazy fit. And she felt no pressure, nothing. She's like, the only thing that she struggled with with the twins was the first baby was 18 months. And she had been with that baby 24 hours a day for 18 months. And then all of a sudden, I would leave the house every morning with that baby for hours yeah and go on walks and stuff and so she felt a little bit of a uh just she would get a little sad yeah she missed that baby yeah she missed she would miss that baby yeah but a great

time for me yeah heck yeah like i like i like i could like 90 days with my 18 month old baby just hanging out at coffee shops and outdoor bars and just raging. You know what I mean? Going to walks, just rate. We just raged. We just drank and ate all day. Caffeine, alcohol and food. It was great. Okay. So, so you, so you do that and now you have this six month old baby. Yeah. I want to, I want to go back. So what was birth fit in 2013 and what is birth fit today? What's the evolution of birth fit?

Like when people ask me about what birth fit is, I say, I don't really know. So I make up some shit. I say, Hey, it's a mindset. It's a, it's a method. It's a mindset for getting pregnant, having a baby and raising a baby. The whole, the whole thing. It's definitely a lifestyle. And like, like what you said, it's a mindset shift. It's a, it's an embodiment practice. You know, I would say 2013, I was just on the cusp of birth fit.

And now I fully with a baby embody it because I got to practice it. I got to try it out. You have a prop now. You have a legitimate prop. Yeah, I got an extra prop here. But it is. It's about taking radical responsibility for your health and showing up as the feminine woman, the nourisher of your family. And, you know, part of that includes fitness, part of that includes nutrition, part of that includes mindset practices. And, you know, the fitness programs, I like to say are just the, they're the little avenue by which we expose

people to a deeper way of thinking, a deeper way of showing up or being in this world. So yeah, we absolutely have, you know, intentional programs that support one's nervous system. We have, you know, postpartum rehab journey that goes in different phases and super intentional programs. But, you know, it's your choice what you want to do. It's your choice how you want to show up. So all in all, it is a lifestyle practice. And like I said, in the video you played in the beginning, we birth how we live. And those, those choices, those lifestyle choices start long before conception. You know, they're forks in the road that are part of your life's journey, you know, way, way before you even get to labor.

And I think that's why, you know, for me, like I said in that video, like I had to do so much unlearning and reprogramming in order to have the blissful birth experience that I had. Because if I had given birth in, let's say, 2013, 2014, a year or two years after starting BirthFit, I don't know if I would have been able to advocate for myself like I did at 36 weeks and my water leaking you know if that makes sense what about the advocating things cool because that's one of the things I learned at hypnobirthing they because we so we were going to have the baby in the hospital and one of the they give you all

these tricks to advocate for your wife yeah so if they want to like give her drugs and you know your wife's plan is to have the baby naturally you you say, Hey, can I get two minutes to talk to my wife alone? Yeah. And then you give her, and then you walk your wife through breathing exercises or something, or, you know, try to facilitate her getting to a different spot. Hey, um, when you say you had to unlearn, can you give me an example of something you had to unlearn? Well, I would say the victim mindset, the victim consciousness was a big one for me. Can you give me an example of that? Yeah. So like in this world, we can say, oh, that was done to me instead of for me, or they did that to me instead of for me.

And, um, you know, there was a, I used this example the other day and I hate to like, Oh, sorry, be super negative, but, or have a darkness about it. But, you know, sexual assault, you know, sexual assault. There's a history of sexual assault in my past. And I could totally say I'm a victim. Yeah, this is a powerful one. I'm already feeling like defensive for you. I'm like, no, no, that was, I already want to argue your victim status for you.

You know what I mean? It's crazy. You already got me off on the wrong leg. Go ahead. I love this. You have me so uncomfortable. Let's do this. So I could use the victim and say, oh, I was a victim of sexual assault, but I choose not to identify like that because all the choice points are forks in the road that led up to that experience. I see where I made those choices. I see where I could have taken responsibility and gone a different way, turned left and start instead of right. That doesn't excuse the, the dude's behavior, the person's behavior. But, you know, it, I showed i showed up you know as somebody not in alignment with my values and that's how i got in that scenario in the first place wow damn dude what an incredible oh sorry go on go on no but that that like you know whenever that the that me too movement was

happening like i could have chosen to hashtag me too, but I choose not to identify like that because I don't like, it's like people identifying with their disease. They're you're get, you're identifying with your diagnosis and now you're the victim of that diagnosis. Did someone help you through that? Did you have to go to a shrink to walk you through that? Yeah. Yeah. The pushback is like, fuck you. You're saying like immediately because it's a really fine line, right? Where it could be completed. The response is like, fuck you.

Like you're telling me that me walking through the park at night means that I'm deserved to get raped. And you're like, no, that's not what I'm saying. Not at all. Yeah. But it's so close to that, man. It's very close. That's not something that the evening news is going to try to tackle. No.

But taking, you know, I would say the best thing I did in my life was take radical responsibility. Or as like Jocko says, extreme ownership, you know. And the truth is this. At the end of the day day you're better for that you're freer for that yeah oh with radical responsive like freedom has radical you have to embrace radical responsibility so it kind of comes to the question also is do you want to be right or do you want to get what you want and And you chose to get what you want, which was freedom from – like you could defend being a victim forever. Yeah.

And most people would believe you that you were right or you can get what you want, which is freedom from that past. Yeah, cut those energy ties. What shrink did you go to? can you share the name of it um so originally i went to a woman named kim vincent and she's out of ohio and she was ohio california yeah wow what a magical place yeah she was trained in nl neuro linguistic practitioner training and so this was the first person that really made like I could feel shift happening within within my body and so then I went on and I became a NLP practitioner and I took global NLP practitioner training. And Nikki, I worked with Nikki actually during my pregnancy. But Nikki owns global NLP.

And she has trainings all over the world. She's amazing. What's her last name? Nikki. Look up global NLP. Nikki. MLP like Matthew, Larry. Oh NLP. Nikki. MLP, like math and Larry. Oh, N, okay.

N like nerd. Global NLP. Oh, NLP. Yeah. NLP. Neurolinguistic programming. How can I be a bad hearer? I have headphones on and it's like going straight to my brain.

Yeah, Nikki Schneider. And think of NLP like you're retraining the thought patterns in your brain, just like you retrain movement patterns. So you have to redo those those avenues, those paths that have been created. You have to establish new paths. those paths that have been created you have to establish new paths i really got caught up on the thing also that you said is that your values bring you to where you're at yeah because we make choices we act in accordance with our values and if we don't have values then we're just flailing along like i was you? Yeah. But where did you get your values at? Like, where did you learn? Where did you even learn what values are? Where did you get your values at? Um, let me think, you know, I, so around the time I started doing NLP counseling therapy,

what year was that by the way? Was that, it It was probably 2009, right as I was finishing chiropractic school. So when Lance met you, he got a pretty evolved version of you. He got the best version of me so far. He's stoked. You just came right out of the auto body shop. New paint, all the dents taken out. Yeah, the baggage in the closet had been cleared. Yeah, that's awesome.

He'd give you some new baggage. Yeah. But I'd also done something called the Landmark Forum. Yeah, I heard about that. Sarah Cog, isn't that crazy? Sarah was an instructor at Landmark. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. It was big in L.A. during that time.

And that, that helped me a lot because I started investigating reality and seeing what was true, not true, getting clear on certain things, helped me with communication skills. I'm trying to think what else. Were you scared to do landmark? No, no. Yeah. I mean, it felt a bit cultish but um i was like let me just try it out let me see what's going on yeah like i like i said earlier i i like to try things and experience things um so that was cool i also read a book it was called loyalty to your soul that was really good um miriam williamson's book return to love was really good. Miriam Williamson's book, Return to Love, was really good.

Oh, man. Did you see what happened to Miriam Williamson? No. Actually, I have not watched the news. I don't think since here. I really liked her. You know she ran for president, right? Yeah.

Yeah, she went full unconscious. It was crazy how many people went unconscious you know who didn't go unconscious was tole did you see did you ever hear him talk about the pandemic no oh it's amazing i was so proud of him yeah marianne went full uh um she locked herself in a fucking apartment for two months like she lost her shit yeah she went off the deep end oh it was crazy that's heartbreaking yeah and and her hatred of trump is kind of crazy like whether you like him or not it's like yeah like that's not good for you like what you're doing no she's running on this platform of love while she hates trump i'm like oh man you're you're a libtard like i was damn yeah oh i will say those press conferences with trump during

the pandemic they were kind of a highlight for i it was like comedy hour for me oh he's so funny it's hilarious he's i've really learned to enjoy him yeah totally i've really learned to enjoy him what a what a wild world we live in okay so i want to go back to what birth fit is so birth fit is so there are yeah i but there are tools there so if you are thinking about getting wanting to get pregnant you are pregnant or you had a baby yeah basically any question you have it's a resource for you should i have birth in in a hospital? Should I have it at home? Should I – if I have sex doggy style, I'll have a boy. If I – like it's a whole –

I don't know how you predict that. I know, but someone could be like, hey, that's bullshit. But what I'm saying is there's no – it's a forum and a place with people with tons of experience to any questions, fair game. Totally. And Hey, what if the, what if my baby's born breached and I have to run to the hospital? Like all those questions that people worry about.

Yeah. You hit them up or I can't get pregnant. You're having trouble. Let's talk about it. Yeah. Um, Oh, Hey,

me and my boyfriend have been having sex unprotected for two years and I'm still not pregnant. What's up? Birth fit. BirthFit's a resource for you. How about this one? How about this one? My boyfriend or my husband wants to or boyfriend, whatever, doesn't want to have a baby and I want to have a baby. Oh, then you got to talk about it. Yeah. Is there people at BirthFit to talk to about that also yeah so we have a huge um i would say a virtual community uh-huh and um you know lots of virtual gatherings

um hold on sorry take your time come here Take your time. Come here. How about this? She's playing with sticks. This audience is so cool. They're so used to all the chaos. There we go.

No, what I was going to say was we're a virtual community. We switched and did so much stuff online due to the pandemic, as most people did. So we have probably one virtual gathering of some sort a week um and then in may i think it is i'll be teaching a live um birth at basics postpartum class so that's coming up but say that say that time. In May? Yeah, in May, there'll be a birth basics postpartum class. So that's our way of trying to bring the live experiences back. So in May, the class is for women who've already had babies?

Yes, yes. What if you're pregnant and you want to take the class on what it who've already had babies. Yes, yes. What if you're pregnant and you want to take the class on what it's like after you have a baby? Can you do that? Well, we'll have separate classes for pregnancy. For those still growing. Okay. I know that it's been long, but I still have so many questions. Let me see if I can get someone through the questions of the audience. And then I want to go back to this thing that you mentioned, if we have time where you refer to the woman as the nourisher, that was a really powerful comment. And I want to like, I don't know how much time

you got left. I got plenty of time. I'm more concerned about you. Cause I know that you're holding a baby. Yeah. She maybe has five or 10 minutes left. Okay. Here we go. Um, uh, Eric wise, can Lindsay speak on the BirthFit leadership coach process, asking for my wife, 10 year LND nurse and moving toward becoming a lactation consultant? Okay. Yeah. So right now our BirthFit coach course is the wait list is open for enrollment. And we have one BirthFit coach course this year due to mom life. Hello. And it's a 13 module course that you complete on your own pace.

And once you've completed the modules, ideally you get through those, you know, in June or July, August at the latest, then we have the live integration calls in September and October. and we'll wrap those first week of November and then you'll become a birth fit leader or a birth fit coach just depending on what kind of credentials you have in your past so if you're an L&D nurse or doula more like a birth fit leader if you've taken you know CrossFit NASA CSCS some sort of fitness certification in the past, you'll be a birth fit coach. And that's mainly, you know, to coach women moving equipment, having some sort of equipment

experience. But the coach course is awesome. We cover everything from the sacred female cycle to sovereignty in the birth space, birth history in America. We cover obviously modifications and adaptations through each trimester, rehab and healing postpartum. We talk about nutrition and nourishment and then business questions like business support, business questions. Because a lot of people do this in conjunction with their crossfit gym or their existing business um you know as a chiropractor or physical therapist or you know l d it's a great um i would say accessory or supplemental thing to maybe something that's already existing or stay at home mom that wants to work part time.

Buttery bubbles. Thank you. Birth fit. Your Instagram page helped us find a provider for my unvaccinated son. Oh, great, great, great. Yeah. That makes me happy to hear a Braylon Braylon, a tenor fitness competitor. Have you witnessed a stillbirth? Oh yeah. Well, I haven't witnessed, but I've definitely, we've had people within the birth community and in my chiropractic office. It's heavy stuff for sure. One of my, one of my kids was born not breathing and it was pretty wild.

Yeah. But, but Hey, and I thought the whole thing took 15 minutes, but when I looked at the diary that the midwives came, they got him 90 seconds after he was born, he was already breastfeeding. So in that 90 seconds, they got him breathing again. They brought his color back, but they had to resuscitate him with like a turkey baster on his face. Yeah.

It was crazy. My wife's like, why are you crying? Because she couldn't see the baby because they were working on the baby on his face. It was crazy. My wife's like, why are you crying? Because she couldn't see the baby because they were working on the baby on her back. She was on all fours and they used her back as the table. It was wild. Graciano Rubio. Lindsay's the real deal. Take her courses.

Thanks. He's taken, he took one of our live courses in the past. So much appreciated. Boys take them too. Yeah. Whenever we had the coach seminar, the live version, probably, you know, anywhere from two to five of the participants would be gentlemen. Wow. That's awesome.

Makes me happy. Yeah, because then they would learn about breath work and stability breath and the core and pelvic floor. would learn about breath work and stability breath and the core and pelvic floor and then they could go on as crossfit coaches and adequately coach their class because breath work applies to everybody that's for sure and yeah and did you say and the coaching piece right yeah yeah carolyn m a lot of women these days have massive anxiety. Are there some women who won't be able to get to the birth fit mindset? Introducing TD Insurance for Business with customized coverage options for your business. Because at TD Insurance, we understand that your business is unique, so your business insurance should be too.

Whether you're a shop owner, a pet groomer, a contractor, or a consultant, you can get customized coverage for your business. Contact a licensed TD insurance advisor to learn more. Well, like I said, it's a choice. You you know we definitely have people that um come in and they're like oh i can't do that or you know that's too hard or i'm not going to ask that or you know when they share an example like they went to their provider whatever it gave something happened we're like hey maybe you should seek out another opinion maybe you should get a consultation from a local midwife or another OB. And they're like, no, I'm good with this one.

That's a choice right there. That's you choosing to stay in that situation. So there's always choices involved. But I would say there's so many tools to, I would say, mitigate the anxiety. Anxiety is, you know, really, you're not allowing yourself to live in the present. You're missing out due to fear of the future. And that was a big thing I learned in NLP was how to mitigate anxiety.

Okay. Last question. I know, I know we're at the end here. I know you got to go. Lindsay, women can grow babies in them and men can't and here's another and here's another crazy thing that women can do i wonder so a man can be ready to be a king but he can't be a king unless a woman makes him a king he behaves like a king he attracts a king i just got inspired by this by watching your thing i never realized like it's this thing like it's this thing like it's like this bad thing like someone might say like a woman should not want to find her

a king she should want to um be her own queen but the thing is is like a man that's the power of a woman she can believe in a man and make him a king i mean the man has to be ready you have to be fucking ready but when you're with a woman who believe what does that mean to you when i say that what's it mean to to i always couch it as you if you if you find a woman who believes in you keep her yes absolutely like that's all you need from a woman to believe in you totally she like if a woman believes in you she's gonna love you nourish you she's just gonna uh why is it that women are nourishers? Why do you call them nourishers? That's exactly what my wife is.

She nourishes everything. She nourishes our souls, our tummies. She nourishes like our, she's like, my wife is the great nourisher. It's funny. I never, I just realized that when you said that earlier. And when you, when a man allows the woman to be the nourisher, she flourishes. It's like the ultimate feminine expression. Yeah. It in us it's within our biology and um you know women i like to say are the bridge between man and their source their god yeah yeah and there's nothing there's no other

proof better than that than birth you know because the woman reaches through a different portal to touch God to bring a life earth side. But yeah, I think, yeah, if we, if we, oh, this, like, if we actually tapped into our biology, our innate biology, and lived in accordance with that, we would have less dis-ease. We would live more in harmony. You know, the rest and relaxation recovery period of postpartum would be a little bit more honored. And, yeah, the women are ultimately the nourishers. I don't know a better word for it. But they make a house a home you know they make um so so women just think about that for a second you can have your own king

it doesn't make you any less that's how powerful you are you can anoint the makers yeah and when you basically as a nurse and I think that's what I had to step into was like I don't want to live independent you know who wouldn't want a king I want a fucking king

my next life I'm getting a king who wouldn't want a king like I don't want to be a girl boss independent i want somebody to provide stability for me i want somebody to um you know hold the the fortress down you know birth is a great example. Protect the cave. And then within that, I can be, I can express my creativity, express my nourisher, express my feminine vibe however I want, you know. But the male biology creates the boundaries, is the protector and um the females like the the artist within it i feel like my wife is what brings the magic into my house oh for the mystery the wonder the wisdom the all the wisdom yes she brings the and maybe she doesn't even maybe i get it before she even

gets it but it's there because of her because because of the space she's created, because of what she's given me and the boys. But when you were saying that, I think it's so important to realize that, hey, as a woman, you will be really happy in the woman's role. But you're also really powerful in the sense that you also have to assign that role. You have to find your behavior will create the man that will, that will allow you to be your role. It's a, it's a, it's a very powerful position. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Women are so powerful. They just sit back and lean into their innate biology, you know, life felt so like, this was a good example for me, like, trying to keep up with the rat race and, you know, trying to be a CEO, as you have it in your background. But living with all these, you know, masculine energies on the forefront of my life, like,

trying to crush it that way, rather than what postpartum ultimately has taught me is to surrender to motherhood, to surrender to the flow. And I'm not even kidding. Like there's ease that comes with that. Like sure, postpartum has been messy, but it's really been probably one of the most fun I've had in a long time, you know, um, just surrendering to the feminine energy, the mothering energy. And I think that's, that's hard, you know, somebody that, um, you know, so strict with studying, working all the things before, and I maybe would have not done that, you know, 10 years prior. So that was some unlearning that needed to happen.

Yeah. You just described my wife after she had kids too. It's crazy. She's so let go. Yeah. Let it go. Hey, Lindsay, thank you so much. Thanks for the support of the show. Hey, I would love to have you on all the time. You're so cool anytime you want to come on i'd love to talk to you sweet well i appreciate you having me yeah and uh congratulations on the baby give my love to lance and uh we'll talk soon all right thank you bye savann all right ciao All right, ciao. Jake Chapman. I like to remind my wife who her king is by waking her up at 3.30 a.m.,

standing at the end of the bed, shouting, worship me with a crown and a huge erection. Yeah, totally. I do that too. I use a Burger King crown. Mine's a little... Perform the standee. God, Lindsay's cool as shit, man.

I feel like my life and her life are so parallel, like her and Lance's life. It's nuts. Except he's like more of a man, like electrician. Jesus Christ. He's a Marine too, I think. Yeah, he was. I put a hole in the wall in my office the other day trying to mount some lights And I'm like probably have to pay someone $1,000 to fix it probably I could probably do it for 20 bucks

I went to Home Depot myself. Yeah, you just get a patch and some Paste and throw it over the top. I'm just gonna ignore it. I covered it with some sounding for sound foam That's good, too. Maybe though's what we do to the house. I should just sound foam everything. Yeah. That way I don't have to look at it. Yeah, it's a cool look. Savon, my two-year-old loves Matuthian.

I know. Isn't it crazy? My kids love it. They love the process of it. It's so much better than putting paste on your stick. Jake Chapman. It's amazing how similar I am to all these incredible guests.

Savant. Diverse. I really wanted to go to the skate park today, but I got a show at 115. We got a show at 115. Are you going to be here for that? Yep, I'll be here. Is that what time it starts?

I think, yeah. What a weird time. What a shitty marketing strategy. Some off number. Yeah, that's stupid. Who came up with that? So 115, the show starts. And then at 130, that's when. Who came up with that? So 1.15, the show starts. And then at 1.30,

that's when you guys, like, 1.15, I'll just be jerking off Born Primitive and CA Peptides for 15 minutes. Thank you. Thank you. I liked how you looked over how excited you were. You're like a kid that just saw Christmas present under the tree.

And then at 1.30, Colton versus Taylor. Talking to her makes me want to have kids. Doesn't it? I'm done, though. But, I mean, I have kids. You want more? I mean, it would be cool. More.

More. If a malevolent corporate interests who want to profit from poisoning kids. I don't know if I like that opening line. Let's just say. Let's say if I'm. Let's just say this. I'm i'm let's say let's just say this i'm going to edit this a little bit if corporate interests who want to profit off your kids capture the american academy of pediatrics how would you know

the american academy of pediatrics pediatriciansiatricians, TV, News, Government, and Academia would not tell you because they are similarly captured. So seriously, how would you know? Courageous parents caring for their injured children would tell you, as would a handful of brave pediatricians who would soon lose their licenses for telling the truth. And that's how you know, and that's exactly what's happening. And that's how you know, and that's exactly what's happening. This is a pretty, I took out the word malevolent and profit from poisoning your kids. I don't know. Maybe that's more appropriate.

But those of you who still think that vaccines and all that stuff are okay, you should just keep looking into it just remember you're here i hate to be a cheese dick but just remember hey you're here listening to this show for a reason just look into it read a book like um uh the moth and the iron lung or whatever that book was i read or dissolving illusions just look into it just see and just remember like those parents out there who are showing concern for it they don't have any interest except the life of their kids and the other people they may have interest in life of their kids too but they also have a huge interest in making a shitload of money and so just uh just be smart they're those books are great too and they're not like um propaganda books they're not they're not like books beating over your head the moth and the iron lung isn't even like uh it's not even um it's just a story of the polio uh what happened with polio it's not it's not like

there's nothing anti-vax about it then again you know that stat that only people the the vast majority of people who are dying from covid are have four more comorbidities and over are over the age of 80 you would think that's anti-vax information but for some reason that's not it's just a huge slap in the face to to anyone who got it i i did see this i it's i did see this asymmetric gear seven did you see the candace versus macron i did see that i to to be honest with you i actually watched it twice because the first time i watched it i really the first time I watched it I really didn't want to believe it and I kept punching holes in what she was saying and then

and then a friend of mine that told me yeah told me that they're really kind of disturbed by it so I watched it again oh let me see go down what's it called what's the title called go the other way right winger wow this is the first one that popped up it's crazy right winger candace owen promotes terrifying theory of liberal pedophile i mean that's what you have to put if you're going to put right winger you have to put then why not call it radical violent liberal i mean right winger candace owen promotes terrifying theory that france's first lady is trans i don't know why it's terrifying oh they're quoting her it this is a uh

this is a trip this i watched that episode it is a trip i mean you I watched that episode. It is a trip. I mean, you have to take a lot of what she says it for face value, but, um, it's weird. And another post she added after looking into this, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Bridget

Marcon is in fact a man. Wow, dude, it's a, it is, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Bridget Marcon is in fact a man. Wow. Dude, it is. I mean, fuck, watch the video. It's really hard to refute her. Listen, though. It's like the Michelle Obama thing. I'm the same idiot that saw an inconvenient truth and thought global warming was real.

You know what I mean? Like in thought that we would be dead in 12 years. It's a compelling movie. So, I mean, fuck, what do I know? I listened to The Moth in the Iron Lung this week. Absolutely fascinating. I'm going to get the physical book so I can underline, take notes. Yeah, isn't it wild?

The book could have been half as long it's really long i listened to the audiobook it just went on forever and ever but man the history of the country and those moths and the silk moth and and how it's all tied to war and like making clothing and i mean fuck dude I mean, fuck, dude. Serious question. Why are liberals pedos historically vast conservatives who are touching little boys and paint? Yeah, I agree. I don't know what happened, dude. Hey, it's the same thing with it used to be liberals that wanted to close the border.

And it was conservatives that were trying to smuggle in Mexicans to work in the field. I mean, look, I just watched this the other day. I don't I don't know what's happened dude I don't know why I know exactly I agree with you Pat it was conservative fucking priests that were fucking diddling kids now it's every fucking now it's liberals the script got flipped look at this

doses look at this one I have like five videos like this I have look at this shit right here dude it makes me feel better for being a libtard for so long when i see stuff like this look look at this look at this fucking beautiful barack obama with his beautiful voice um uh yeah uh judy reed uh they're sickos on both sides only the right won't condemn it the left encourages it with celebrities yeah i kind of agree with that but check this out doses look at this look at this this is this is this might as well be trump now

talking listen to this trump now trump is saying the exact same thing that obama is this is not going to be a free ride it's not going to be some instant amnesty what's going to happen is you are going to pay a significant fine you are going to learn english you are going to go to the back of the line so that you don't get ahead of somebody who was in mexico city applying legally it's not something that is guaranteed or automatic you've got got to earn it. I think the American people, they appreciate and believe in immigration. Do you know that if Trump said that you got to learn English to come to this country,

he'd be fucking hanged as a Nazi? It would be fucking crazy, dude. Racist! Yeah, it would be so crazy. But they can't have a situation where you just have half a million people pouring over the border without any to control it. So we've got to deal with that at the same time as we deal in a humane fashion with folks who have put down roots here, have become our neighbors, have become our friends.

They may have children who are U.S. citizens. That's the kind of comprehensive approach that we have to take. All right? This is not going to be a free ride. It's nuts. I don't know. I don't know what happened. You know, all these people who are saying, hey, it's just they're both the same party and all that shit. Maybe they're right.

Fuck. Do you guys want to see something? Do you want to see a chick with big old titties? Or do you want to see the guy who beat up the cops in New York City? I mean, we can see both. Big old titties. Okay, big old titties it is. Look at this. I saw this post the other day.

This is crazy. I want to see the big old titties. This is... This This is, um, this chick's a cop in Australia. Damn. I'm moving to Australia. Crazy, right?

But I, I of course would never say big old titties if it wasn't a quote from something. Cause I'm not a look at, she wrote them big old titties. What's working harder? The zipper on this tri-suit? What's working harder? What's working harder than a full-time working mom

and four training for a marathon? Jesus H. Christ. My goodness. Christ my goodness the Internet's just for perving out on people those abs damn I wonder if that's what 80% of the people do they just perv out on people she

had four kids wow that's nuts i'd like to see a little more depth on that squat but it's cool less gloves so this one's not going to surprise you guys one of the boys that beat up the cop last month you guys remember that when the cops were those those uh seven or eight illegal aliens were beating up the two cops on the streets of new york city do you guys remember that you guys remember that everyone remember that caleb remember that oh i remember i'll never forget imagine imagine people beating up cops on the street and getting arrested but because they're from a foreign country you can't hold them because it's a sanctuary city so you let them go back into the city hey by the way there's

no republicans who agree with that so that's like that's the that's my deal there's like There's no Republican to agree with that. So that's like that's the that's my deal. There's like that's just a that's just a Democratic justification for kindness. So that's the example I'm saying. They want to take rights away from the individual. Those are the cops that got beat up and give them to a group amnesty for this group. So we've all lost our rights and sanctuary cities to be protected from violent, illegal aliens. rights in sanctuary cities to be protected from violent illegal aliens that's like a perfect example because it should just be individual rights the individual rights for everyone is is that no one no one gets beaten on the streets but once again the democrats believe that taking rights away from individuals these cops were stomped and giving them to groups, illegal aliens. But here it is. You can't even fucking believe this shit. Migrant teen that was arrested for attack on police officer was arrested again

for shoplifting and assaulting a security guard. No shit. Just a reminder. They want to open up your home. So guys like him have somewhere to live. Brand new video of the suspect in that NYPD officer beating. He was just arrested in a separate Macy's robbery case, suspected of being involved in a security guard beat down. The security guard outside Macy's was punched and kicked. Darwin Gomez was one of

those beating suspects. A judge initially freed without bail after the beating of two NYPD police officers in Times Square earlier this month this is brand new video of the suspect in that NYPD officer beating he was get a get a plane fly him over Panama open the door and push him out and and and have a parachute just automatically pull no okay or not just malfunction that's so so this is what makes me like like i don't want to i don't want to like hate anyone but this makes it like i can't be friends i like the people who are putting people the people who vote democrat are putting these people are allowing this to happen. And this is eventually going to happen to someone's mom or sister or what is happening already, right?

People are already getting fucking raped and beaten and killed. And like, Caleb, you and I cannot go outside and fucking me and you'd be like, wait for a cop to come by and stomp him and beat him up and then get released. No, that's why you carry everywhere you go and i don't want to get released i don't want to be on the same footing as these people i want to live in a civilization where there's rules there need to be rules yeah that's crazy did you see biden like somebody asked him uh we felt bad about calling that illegal and illegal yeah he said he regrets it not really supposed to be here but yeah i guess i wish i wouldn't have used that term it's illegal you're not supposed to be here you're illegal lifelong democrat surprises

bet reporter was a black entertainment television reporter with shocking confession the politics are an ongoing debate between azad ahmadi member of the georgia black republicans and his girlfriend a Alexandra, a registered Democrat, who at times sit on opposite sides of the aisle. So even though you have political differences, it's not a deal breaker. No, it's not a deal breaker. Oh, no, no, no, absolutely not. So in 2008 and 2012, you voted for Barack Obama, Barack Obama, 2016. I voted for Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton. 2020? Donald Trump.

They still think they're dealing with the old Democratic Party. And really young people because they don't give a fuck. They're still like, fuck it. and really young people. Cause they don't give a fuck. They're still like,

Oh, here we go. Oh, yeah, yeah. This is great. This is good. Speaking of black guys. This is probably going to get the video fucking a ding, but whatever. Women do creepier shit than that. Women have sex toys.

You know what I'm saying? Sex, like toys that they have sex with. You get what I'm saying? Sex, like toys that they have sex with. You get what I'm saying, Nick? Remember when you was a kid and you used to play with toys? They fuck their toys, dude. Adult women. And not like a whole toy dude. No, no, no. Just a severed penis toy.

They fuck a severed penis toy. But we're the creeps. I know that sex toys for men, but we can't actually buy one and have it and let you find it and then explain it. Well, you know, it's really hard to meet people, but the boy's got his needs. Am I right? So I stick my dick in this rubber Pringles can. Anywho, I sent you a burger. That's cool. What's mom like?

They don't stop there, man. We never make fun of them. They can fuck whatever they want. We don't make fun of them. We don't judge them. We don't call them creeps. They can fuck all the toys, shower heads, washing machines, carrots, cucumber. We don't give a fuck. Yeah, vegetables. You ever had a salad?

They'll fuck what goes in a salad. You get what I'm trying to say? They'll fuck what goes in a salad. You get what I'm trying to say? They'll fuck what goes in a salad. Oh, my goodness. When I was in high school, I had a friend who would just buy a cucumber and condoms. He was a dude. Buy a cucumber and condoms and then just

that was it on the Walmart conveyor belt yeah and they'd be like and the cashier would always just give them weird looks and like he did it just for fun just to get a reaction just to fuck with cashiers yeah that's great and he would always find the biggest one so he'd get like a probably a 16 inch fucking cucumber. And then the, the, the Magnum condoms. Even, even this is zucchini seasons coming around.

It's almost time to plant zucchinis and every zucchini. I like when I go out to the zucchini and pick them, I just see penises. Yeah. I've never, middle cocks. Yeah. I've never matured.

Uh, wow. Uh, Christian Kettler. I had a friend who made a homemade fleshlight out of soup can and lunch meat. Oh, my God. What was that thing called? A wizard slab?

A wizard? Wizard sleeve? Wizard sleeve. Jeez. Oh, pool boy. I can't read yours. Sorry. Jesus Christ. What if you got a paper cut doing that

you can't be fucking a toilet roll what if you get a paper cut do you soak the toilet roll first oh get a little wet yeah blunt to sharp edges yeah not too long

just enough make it a little squishy alright let me see any other things being with a great man what's this please be a comedy let me see what this is this might be funny too

I like funny stuff. Here we go. It wasn't only second. Everything else came before me and I couldn't understand why his friends got his time, his work got so much effort, everything in his life got so much effort and time, but I was always put aside for years. Like it took so long.

I just kind of accepted it because that's, I knew he was an addict. And, but then I was like, but why can you do this with his friends? But he can't go out with me. Or why can he spend this money on a festival? But he can't go to dinner with me. I wasn't only second, everything else came before me. You know, it's kind of crazy about this? This is titled, What's the Deep? A Gambling Addict's Wife.

Last week we spoke to Elliot. It was actually his wife who reached out to us about his story, and I feel it's really important to share both sides of one. Tamara shares what it's been like living with a gambling addict for so long, hoping things would change. Oh, what has been like living. You know what's crazy? When I heard this, though, too, is like,

if you're going to live with someone who's going to do great shit, like Hillary Froning and Sammy lived with – I mean, those are – their husbands have addict type qualities. The success that they have, I mean, you have to be fucking singularly committed. Same with like musicians, right? Like if you want to marry fucking Mick Jagger, well, dude, you're going to be second. Fitting in with people who are doing great shit is not easy. I had a girlfriend before my wife who was like, just who just was always talking about settling down.

That's all she wanted to do is settle down, settle down, settle down. That sucks. Yeah. I think she made, yeah, I think she made the fucking, eventually she,

we parted ways. and I wonder to this day I wonder if she's like happy with the route she took I heard something the phone doing weird shit I can understand wanting to stay in one place but I just I couldn't just stop doing everything

like I'd get antsy like I was talking to Leaf Edmondson yeah and he was saying he's like yeah i've been basically not doing anything really just hanging out with my kids and stuff and he goes i'm not sure how long that's gonna last i'm gonna want to like do something because he can't just sit still and be doing nothing you know yeah it's hard to do that if you're if you're gonna be with someone who's great like you're let's say let's say you're a chick and you want to marry this and you're with this guy and you want to sleep in with him every

morning and just lay around in bed and eat breakfast listen but he wants to be the world's greatest guitarist you you have to decide you sit there and listen to him play guitar or do you yeah you have to you have to fucking decide right it's like you you guys might not hang out much for five or six years he's going to spend every six he's going to be poor and he's going to spend every cent he has on guitars now listen if he's a fucking drug addict or a gambler no but dude it paid off for Sammy and Hillary right their boys fucking grinded

and now they fucking they're set they believed in their dude they hung in there and now they're bringing in the cheese now they have a massive farm plot and now they're rich rich as fuck. Clock, every time I pick zucchinis, I see penises.

All right. I need to go work out. Get crazy caffeinated. You going to do the open workout today? I'm going to call my wife. I don't know. I'm going to... Probably. I could spontaneously do it. If do it if i broke if i'm like just walking around the house sweating do you have shit to do it if you want to spontaneously do it at the shattuckin could you

uh i don't have a pull-up bar stable enough but uh i did it this morning already i went to my affiliate oh you did did you make it to the second round to the rest yeah i did so yeah i got through one round and then i got three bar muscle ups in the second round so so you did seven thrusters to 135 and then some bar muscle ups yep yeah i did so seven thrusters seven bar muscle ups seven thrusters and three bar muscle ups i was thinking that if i could get through the whole first part i'd be pretty happy so basically i was thinking basically what i could get through the whole first part, I'd be pretty happy. So basically I was thinking basically what I have to do is every 90 seconds, like in 90,

I have to do five thrusters in 45 seconds and then five thrusters in 45 seconds. Then I have to do five chest to bar in 45 seconds and then five chest to bar. Did you kip it all the pull-ups or did you just do that? I did pull-ups and then kipping bar bust ups, obviously, but I broke it up. I was doing six thrusters and six and four thrusters and then

like six and four chest-to-bar basically. Not that I care, but is it legit to switch? I'll do all my shit strict. It's fine to shift your grip, right? When they say pull-ups, that doesn't matter, right? No, yeah. I think you can switch grip. You can do whatever, but as long as you're going from a dead hang

and then touching your chest to the bar. Okay, so that's my plan. If I can get through just to, God, how are those 135 thrusters? Did you do onesies? No, I did four and three. Holy shit. Damn, dude. My legs were toast for sure.

So you're stoked you got out of the way yeah i'm glad that i did it i'm glad i'm also glad that i got to the bar muscle ups at all to be honest usually when there's bar muscle ups in an open workout i get like two because i'm just not fit enough to get more of them and how many did you get you got one i got 10 total. Oh Ten bar muscle-ups. Yeah, so you finished a whole round. Yeah Feel pretty good about that fucking a dude No rips hands are good I haven't done a 95 pound thruster in a while really I haven't done a 95 pound thruster in a while. Really?

Mm-mm. You were catching those barbell thrusters when we did that. Yeah, I'm great. I'm a beast at 45 pound thrusters. World-class. Did 18 in a row. I can remember the very first time I did 21 thrusters with 95 pounds the first time in fran i didn't break up the first round i can remember i was at a gym in pittsburgh really fuck it hurt yeah oh man it hurt i remember doing i've always been able to do fran

like thrusters pretty much unbroken, but today I was, I don't think I could do it when I did the level one, it was five rounds of 10 thrusters and 10 burpees. And I was like, Oh, I could do those unbroken. And I got through like one set of 10 and I was like, fuck,

that's not happening. So that's why I thought that's why I broke it up on this one. Cause I figured it'd be about the same. 95 pounds is going to be heavy for me yeah asymmetric gears 21 thrusters are not bad if you stop right there i don't know man if you just do 21 thrusters yeah i don't know it's bad did you did 60 yesterday 60 60 thrusters? Dang. Are you doing cap? Doing cap programming?

All right. What about that leak, man? That's pretty funny. I love it. So good. I love that people are complaining that people brought it to everybody's attention it wouldn't have been a problem if nobody

had said anything about it what do you want to do dude those people are crazy they put it up on YouTube I've never gotten I got 30 text messages and 30 DMs to test with the screenshot everyone saw it and if you have notifications on for the

CrossFit Games YouTube channel, you're getting that notification. Everybody got it. So you went there and then you saw it. There it is. It's up. Yeah. A million people got that notification. Wait, is the actual picture in the notification the workout? No, it was just like, I think the picture

was just Tola Maracanio doing bar muscle-ups. Or doing a bar muscle-up. Oh, shit. Really? Yeah, it's just 24.3 and then Tola at the top of a bar muscle-up. God, that's hilarious. Yeah, so at least you knew it was going to be

bar muscle-ups at a minimum. And then it was up long enough for people to screen record the actual thing. Seve, Dave said Roe is a better interview than you. I listened to that podcast. I didn't hear that. God, Jake, you are such a douche nozzle. I like you so much.

And then you fucking, you take two steps forward and then three steps back. Do you still take suggestions on guests or is that just your thing now? No, actually, if you give me a suggestion, I'm going to come over to your house and just shove it up your ass. I mean, what what is your testosterone just plummet? Yeah. Do you take suggestions? No. If I see you type a suggestion, I plug my ears. What is your testosterone just plummet? What does that even mean? Yeah, do you take suggestions? No, if I see you type a suggestion, I plug my ears and close my eyes. God, Jake, were you the kid at school who was like, can I hang out with you?

Be like, no. And can you hang out with me? Rule number one about hanging out with me. Don't ask me if you can hang out with me. jake i'm judging the fuck out of you right now i um basically if anyone gives me a suggestion in the dm if you give me a suggestion in the dms and you send the instagram with it i'll immediately go to the person's instagram and nine out of ten times i'll um oh yeah he's typing i fucked him up right there right he's like i fucked jacob so hard right there he stumbled back off his computer he's like what the fuck i just got toe up by a midget um toe up from the

Hey, I'll try anything. I'll try anything once, too. But what I'm saying is, is like I don't take the word of someone who's like getting paid to do it like the way they are.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. But a lot of people love their shoes. I haven't heard one person say anything negative about their shoes like you could find endless negative shit about Noble. I don't find anything negative. Yeah. The only thing negative i find about rad is uh daniel brandon's attitude towards me other than that everything's good hillary sent me a pair of nobles for doing the nopen last year he hates you that's his way of saying oh yeah that's his way of saying he hates you this is all i got he hates me yeah if he sends you a pair of nobles that means he hates you that. That's like, hey, when I pull my fucking pickup truck up to your house and empty out my old meth kit out of the back of the truck and drop it off on your driveway, I hate you. Knowing 20 minutes the FBI is coming too. Send you nobles.

the savage one there are like 400 reviews and nothing less than three stars let me see what one of the bad reviews is what the fuck could you possibly say hey i guarantee you it's like it showed up a week late let's see it's even that's actually okay quality seems good she was unfortunately too wide for my foot oh you fucking pussy that's amazing i listen so i've never experienced a shoe that's too wide for my foot.

Listen, when I put my foot in a shoe box, it's too wide. Like if I take the shoes out and I put my shoe in the shoe box, it's too wide. Like I step into it and I step out of it. Imagine a shoe that's too wide. Have you ever experienced a shoe that's too wide? If you put a shoe on, it's like, Hey, it's too wide. Bir put a shoe on it's like hey it's too wide birkenstocks i don't like my sandals sand my feet move around sandals too much when i'm barefoot my shoes too wide i used to shove my feet into soccer cleats for a long time yeah and my feet were like super narrow and then i started wearing bevo barefoots and just like going barefoot a lot and now like everything

Is too narrow yeah that's what happened To me too the nano twos ruined me Jake Chapman across it I like my shoes Like I like my vaginas Toy Loose no wide Wide and loose Only issue

With the savage ones is no side protection For rope climbs oh so they just get That's the other The next three-star review is about not being good for rope climbs But Hey, let's R&D that Fix it Yeah, Savage 2s

Exactly I hope they don't fuck the shoe up Because the Victo's 2s are horrible The Core 2s are horrible They're big and clunky I mean, they're wide they're big and clunky yeah i mean they're wide they're just too clunky that's crazy 400 reviews and all of them are top notch dude the shoe's so good you'll be so happy but but but it could do that for you it could if you're

used to your feet being smashed in and then you set them free, you could be set back for life. I could never wear a pair of Nike Cortez's. Those used to be my favorite shoes. I could never wear those now. Yeah. It'll take some time for your feet to splay out if you're not used to that. Your feet aren't meant for that. To be tied up.

I've not actually had a pair of shoes that stands up to rope climb since the Nano 10s. Wow. Maybe you're just doing too many rope climbs. Unicorn of CrossFit shoes. That's a review. I wonder how many sales they lost by not having shoes in. I don't know.

You can sign up for an email when they get back in stock. I wonder how quickly they'll be able to restock those. I should send my pair to someone. I should give my pair away. Size 2. Because I don't wear white. Size 8 in men. 10 in women. I think this is a wear white. Size 8 in men. 10 in women.

I think this is a 10 in women. 8 in men. I don't even know where the other one is. Just send him one. Send him that one. Does someone wear a size 8? Does someone want these? I'd give them away in the...

Who wants these? Does anyone have a size eight?

How about black with the gum bottom? It's better, but... When I see black shoes, I imagine them as work shoes.
