• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You guys get to you know, do the comments, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you get to see and have access to this first.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So that's the best part of that, you know, Right, yeah,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: we did. We got a question in today.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: All right, I want to turn back the clock a bit.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: How can I train to feel younger, get stronger and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: live longer? All right? So basically, yeah, you want to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: mix things up a little bit. Train about four days
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a week, four days with way to break it down
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to a four day split. You do legs one day,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: then the next day you do your chest, then you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: take a day off, then you do your back and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: take it. Then the next day you go and you
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: do your shoulders. Okay, then you take the next day
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: after that. So you've trained four days with weights and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: probably each muscle group. So like for when you do legs,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you want to do about five to six sets for quads,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and then you want to do and there's multiple exercises
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: to go back and forth to both, like deadlifts get
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: your quads in your hamstrings, but quad dominant stuff, squats,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: leg press, lunges, drags, stuff like that where you put
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: take a tire, put a rope to a tire with
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a handle and drag the tire backwards and then maybe
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: put it, you know, a bag on it and drag
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: it backwards to make it more challenging. That type of stuff.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You want to do about six sets of those. Then
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you want to do hamstring dominant things which will be
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: like deadlifts, stiff leg of deadlifts, back extensions on a
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: back extension machine or hyper extensions excuse me hyper extensions,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and if you can do glute hand raises. Glute hand
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: raises are also very good. Those will help. That'll be
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: like one day, and then do a little bit of
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: calf exercises, so maybe standing calves for like four sets
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: of twenty with a comfortable wait for you to just
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: finish the twenty on each time. That would be a day.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Then for chest, you do no more than six to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: eight work sets on chest, so maybe two work sets
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: a bench, two work sets incline, one work set of dips,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and then one set of presses and flies so it's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a super set with dumbbells, and then another set of
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: incline presses and flies with dumbells. That'll be a good
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: start to that. Then back stuff you want to do
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: about six sets of six to eight sets of acts
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: between pull ups rows any type of row where it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: low row, barbell row, whatever, and then pull ups maybe
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: three sets of those three sets of rows, and then
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: some bandwork and stuff like that for your lats, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: then which you'll get some rear delt work in with
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that so you don't really have to worry about that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: too much, and then a day off and then shoulders
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. So like overhead pressing, you might
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: do four sets of four work sets overhead pressing and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: then some side laterals. You can use cans, you can
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: use weights, you know whatever to do the side laterals
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and then bend over ben over side laterals to work
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: your rear delts at the same time. And that's probably
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: enough work right there to just get work in to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: train with As far as your longevity and stuff, because
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the strong, the more muscle mass you have on your body,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: the better you're going to do as you get older.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the real fountain of youth that's having
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of muscle mass on your body because that's
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: what falls off so quickly as we age. So the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: more you have on your body and the more you
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: train it to stay on, the better you're going to do.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And then basically as far as feeling good, well, that's
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: going to make you feel good too. Getting that at one,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it's going to make you mentally feel good because you've
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: got the training done. Two it's going to make you
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: feel good because you're getting stronger, and it will help
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you live longer. As time goes your bones are going
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: to get stronger. They won't get as brittle. The ostereoporosis.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I hope I said that right will set in way later.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: If at all your bone density goes up when you
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: lift weights. That helps with that. Proper nutrition is going
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to help with that as well. Those are those are
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: big things that they're going to make a big difference.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And then take a day or two and just get
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: out and move, you know, go climb a few hills,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: go for long walks, you know that stuff. Go out
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and be active. It doesn't have to be things that
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: kill you or run into the ground, but it just
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: needs to go out and be active. Go like I said,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: go for walks, climb climb small small hills, small mountains,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that type of stuff, and just go out and be
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in nature and have fun. And if you're in a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: city or stuff like that, you can walk up hills,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you can walk downhills, or you can just walk around
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: blocks and stuff like that. There's things you can do.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: There's always something you can do, so just find the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: thing to do. If you live in a coastal area.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: You can go out to the go out and walk
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the beach. You know, walking through sand is a great
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: way to get in shape. Don't just walk on the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: wet sand. Go out and try to spend some time
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: walking through the through the dry sand, because that's that's
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: where actually the challenge is. So if you can get
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to where your walk a couple hundred yards at a
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: time through regular sand, that's going to do a lot
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to make you get in better shape. That will help.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Those are things that will help, you know, just basic,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the most basic things will do the most amount of work.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why people have to overcomplicate things,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: but it's really not super complicated. It's just finding something
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: where you get enough work in to cause the adaptive
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: stress of the muscle to grow, you get enough rest in,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you get enough nutrition in to get it all to heal.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: The training is just as important as the healing. So
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that's kind of like my biggest point to whole thing.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Training and healing go hand in hand. You can't do
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: one without doing the other. It'll be counterproductive in the end.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And then you got to hit the trifecta here
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: where you know you're doing the training, you're doing recovery
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and you're doing the work. But the thing is is
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: nutrition falls in that large category because guess what consistent eating?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what's the one thing
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that you always noticed what a lot of people do.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't have time to eat eat. And it's the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: craziest thing to hear, because people I don't have time
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to do the most important thing in the world.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: You know, make time. It doesn't have to be real long.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Like today, we're just crazy at the range. Today. I'm
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: just busy running gun and stuff like that. I didn't
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: have time to meal prep today. So I have a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: company where i'll get it's called a local Mocha. It's
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: two hamburger patties and two eggs and white rice. I
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: tell them to leave the gravy off because it's not
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: that good. And I just have an extra bottle of
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: chicken stock that I keep at work, and so I'll
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: get that combination, you know, get it all on the thing,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: mix it all up, and then I'll put the chicken
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: broth on it to make it easy to eat. And
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: today I ate it in like five minutes. I hate
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: the whole thing. In like five minutes because I was
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: in a hurry. You still got time to get your
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: calories in and then in between. I had two protein
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: bars when I first got to work, and I had
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: two protein bars right when I left work. So is
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: it great nutrition? It's not perfect, no, but it's good
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: nutrition and you get the protein in. The protein's probably
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: going to be the most important thing you eat because
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: that's what provides your body the material you need to
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: heal with. Your body needs carbohydrates for glucose storage and
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: things like that and using your muscles athletically. Your body
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: will drop weight faster if you cut those out because
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it burns nothing but fat. But but when you go
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: back to eating carbs, youre gonna have a problem. So
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: try to eat as balanced as possible. You know, carbohydrates
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: forty percent protein and twenty percent fat. That's pretty much
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the most balanced part. You can go forty protein thirty
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: thirty as well, but I like forty forty twenty for
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: me personal.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so well, And that's that's the thing too, is
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: like you find a balance for works for you, because
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that's the one thing too. People think that when you're
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: on a diet, and like I said, this is the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: biggest part of longevity too. People think things have to
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: be very specific one way, and it's not true. You
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: can literally everything's custom for everybody who does something, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: because some things work for other people, some things don't.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Correct people don't realize, oh, I've read this people in
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: this research. I read this on this research. You're your
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: own research. Let me say that again. You are your
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: own research. Just because it works for this person might
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: not necessarily work the same way. It might work for
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: you a little bit, But might I be perfect for you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: So I want to teach you to use yourself. Give
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: you some guidelines and stuff like that, and then use
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: yourself as your own science science experiment as we as
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: we progress, because that you'll find. Okay, well, I did
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: this type of training cycle and I got pretty good
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: results out of it. I did this kind not as
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: not quite so much, and then I did this and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I got the best results from that. So come over
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: here and do the one you got the best results from.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: When you get bored with it, go back to the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: one you got some decent results from, and trade back
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: and forth so you don't get bored. You know. That's
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: kind of why I like the conj you get method
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit and going back and forth. The only
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: thing is is that that method that you came up with.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Instead of having two training sessions in the week one's
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: weight once heavy in one's speedwork, do it by weeks instead,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you know, have a heavy week, have a speed week,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: have a mobility or a CNS week. Split it by
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: three weeks. You're going to be surprised when you find
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: out how well that works exactly.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And when it says CNS, that's central nervousness for a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: lot of people there, like you. You know, it's something
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that Nick's trained all the time too, because like you
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: have to shock your system for extreme load.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're going to lift heavyweights, you want your
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: CNS to fire, and you have to train it that
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: way as well. So if you're going to lift really heavy,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: go and train train something ungodly heavy at the beginning,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: like a but a partial rep so like a black
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Poles on the dead list, for instance, where you get
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: up into the for me, get up into eight nine
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: thousand pounds range, my CNS is fried when I get
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: done with that, and then then I do the rest
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: of my workout exactly, So it trains your CNS to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: go through it, and then your CNS gets used to
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: recovering from that. Then you get into a straw man
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: contest and the first events like crazy heavy, most of
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the guys will struggle moving on from there. Well, now
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: your CNS is used to it and you're gonna be fine.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: So it's just little things like that make a big
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: difference over time.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they definitely do, you know. And that's one
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of those things too, is like we get a lot
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of questions of training, a lot of questions and nutrition,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of questions on mindset. But the thing is
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: too is people need to understand, like, this is all
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: technique that you have developed.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, over forty plus years of doing this exactly.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: And I've taken a little bit from I've learned from everywhere.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're always trying to learn, and you can learn.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And you know how once you learn how your body works,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you look at something and go that will actually work
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: for me? This might not work too well. You learn
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: your body so you'll go, okay, well this will work.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: That won't. So I'm going to bring this in and
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to do that part. Because you learn
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: how to read your body, and you know what's going
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to work for it. So it's kind of neat how
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: you know you're going to progress when you learn how
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: your body works. You learn how your body, how the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: different types of food affects your body, You learn how
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: different types of training cycles affect your body. Some guys
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: function very very well in high volume. Some guys do
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: like every week they can just do a ton of volume.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: There are weights minimum to minimum heavy, but they benefit
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: from that. Some guys benefit from not doing too many
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: sets but doing super heavyweight. I did a lot of that,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: but then I developed into a conjugate thing for strong man.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I just play out of nowhere because I never really
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: studied west Side until later, much much later, and turned
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: out I was doing a lot of those things. I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: just had my timing different. So it's which is kind
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: of crazy, how minds think alike without even realize what
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: they're doing. So it's it's it's kind of neat, But
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: you're your own. You're you're always your own research. Write
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: your stuff down, or if you don't have time to
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: write it down, do like a verbal notes, Yeah, just
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: talking to something in cord, your voice, record your thoughts
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: on it, what you got right, what you got wrong?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: What anybody.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: You know? It's it's it's not It's not super hard
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to do. But just take your own notes so you
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: can go back on that. Go back on them and
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: look at them and use it as a tool. You
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: have so many tools that you're at your disposal that
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: people just don't use. So use them. They're there to
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: help you for a reason. Develop the good habit of
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: writing stuff down. Write down your food. And if you
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: don't have time to write down your food, either take
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a picture of it or verbally say hey, I ate
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: this much, this, this much, that, this much, this, this
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: much that it'll record it all down and then move
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: on to the next. Thing is that you know that
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't take a lot of time. You don't have to
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: sit there and write it all down. The phone now
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: has the ability to do that for you, So just
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: do that. You can send a text message to yourself
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: that way exactly. It's funny how that works. Click in there,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: click on click on the little mic, talk into the mic,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: say everything that you just did into it, and send
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: it to yourself as a text message.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: You know, one of the things I just saw this
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: week someone actually spoke into their chat GBT every meal
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that they had what they trained and then asked it
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day to put it into
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a spreadsheet. And it was like, oh, all I had
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: to do was talk and it made a spreadsheet for me.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: So how easy is that.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: There's a great way, there's a good thing to do.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I just understand though, that's a useful way to use GVT.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so you use that, But just remember chat
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: GBT is going to go out and pull information from
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: everywhere all the time. Doesn't mean it's good information is
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: pulling from very true. Got to remember that a lot
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: of times. A lot of times it picks up things
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: that are really really good. But at the end of
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the day, it's not always going to pick up the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: good all the good stuff too, It's going to be
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: other stuff around. So just understand that when you're asking
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: it questions. Yes, yeah, And also remember somebody is getting
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: paid to make sure chat DBT works. So your own
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: personal experience, use it in ways that'll be useful to
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: you exactly.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: And document what you eat, document with your train, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: do it in the most easy way that works for you.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Because you're just like Nick said, it's a reference point.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I feel did I feel good that day I had?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Did I have a great training session? What am I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: doing to put myself in a successful situation?
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, go back to
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: your notes, review your notes, and you're going to find
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: all your answers in those notes. Okay, this week, I
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: did like five sets of chex, five sets of this
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: muscle group. I don't feel like I got enough work in. Okay.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: The next week I did six sets. Hmmm, feel a
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: little better, but it's not quite right. The next week
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I did seven. I feel great, I feel stronger. All
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: these things are working better. That's that's that's it, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: it develops way out from there. There's so many different
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: directions you can go into. Yeah, but that's being your
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: own experiment. That's doing your own research on the thing
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: that's going to know how your body works better. Nobody
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: knows how your body feels better than you at the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: end of the day. That I can give you reference points,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: we can give you advice like how I went through
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: things or how somebody else went through things. But and
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: what we've seen work, and what we've seen that makes
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: people successful. But you're your own best diagnostics as far
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: as how you feel and how you're improving, You're always
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: going to be that way. Nobody's going to be able
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: to tell you better than you on what your body
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: is going through at any given point in time.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Exactly exactly, and you and you know, And here's the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: thing too, is like you know, Nick and I we
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: both talk about you know, making time, making effort, but
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: only one person can hold themselves responsible or accountable for themselves.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, and that that that's the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: hardest thing to do, but it's the main thing that
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: we all need to pay attention to because we all slip,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: we all fall.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: We're not oh boy, not even close. But I do
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the best we can and we do the best we can.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: And that's all anybody can do is the best they can.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: And if you're always trying to do the best you can,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: eventually you're going to be pretty darn successful at whatever
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: it is you go after. It's just that simple. If
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: you're always trying to be the best at what you
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: can do and give the best effort into everything that
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: you put that you put your mind to, you're going
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: to do that. You just got to understand, you can
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: be really, really really good at about three or four things.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: You can be average at about ten things, and you
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: can be okay at about twenty things. Do you want
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: to be good or do you want to be average?
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Do you want to be good or do you want
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: to be great? And that's how you got to kind
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: of divide things up. You really do. And it's truly
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: that simple. And if you spend the amount of time
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: in that three to five or six task range, you're
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: gonna end up pretty good at all all. You're gonna
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: end up world class at a lot of those things.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Really will exactly well, let's pivot a little bit. Okay,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Like I said, this was a fan question.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah question.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: That's how we do it though, And those who joined
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the Patreon, we have a Patreon where you it's a
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: group chat. Add a new question and we'll pull it
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: out and you know what I'm saying, we'll discuss it
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: just like this in depth, because that's one of the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: benefits about being a Patreon member. But what I want
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to talk about is this weekend coming up, we are
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: going to be at the Olympia and Nick's got a
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: full schedule, you know what I'm saying, So let's just
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: discuss that right there.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I'll be the Evolution booth where Brianshaw is
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Sign it yep yep from twelve
• 22:03

• 22:14
  Speaker 2: America's Strongest Man and America's Strongest Veteran at the Olympia
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: at the Expo. So I will be there pretty much
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: long days doing the stuff and helping people and coaching
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: from the microphone as I'm talking about guys and their
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: efforts and stuff like that. So it's gonna be pretty cool.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to this. It's gonna be a lot
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: of fun. Yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: So you guys are in the Olympia in the Las

  Speaker 2: do all that stuff. I love meeting people. I love, uh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: just people and stuff.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: You're very appreciative of the fans because you know we've
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: had this conversation numerous times. You know, Nick always says,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: would it be here if it was for you guys,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: And so he holds that near and dear it was
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: hard just see you guys don't because Nick sometimes gets
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: a little emotional and I.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, but yeah, so we're gonna be there doing
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: those things and judging and commentary and just.

  Speaker 2: If you come up and say hi and I don't
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: have time to talk to you, come find me again.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: The only time I'm not going to have time to
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: talk to you for a couple of seconds or whatever
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: is if I'm in process and I have a place
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: where I have to be by a deadline time. If
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I don't have to be anywhere by a certain time,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I will sit there and talk to people. It's just
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: it's I love to do that, and I just understand
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: if I have to go because there's a time constraint
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: and I have to I have to be somewhere other
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: than that, I will sit in there and talk to you.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: If it's if I got a free half an hour,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I will stand there and talk to you for as
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: much of that as possible.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: You know. The one part I love about going to
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the Olympia is it's the meet and greets for me.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about meet and greets for Nick,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: I get to meet everyone that I like and I
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and because of Nick, I get a little bit of
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a line cut there, which I enjoy,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's it's it's it's I feel very blessed.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I feel very fortunate to have been able to do
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: this with my career and I've just had. Getting to
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: do what I love to do is absolutely amazing. And
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I couldn't. I couldn't be happier. I really couldn't. It's
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: so much fun to come up and talk to people
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: and see what they're thinking and talk to them and
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: they can ask me a question or two, and you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I I like, hey, we'll give this a try, give
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: that a try, you know. And it's just fun. It
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: really is. It really is.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I enjoy it quite a bit. Yeah, you know. So, uh,
• 25:08

• 25:10
  Speaker 1: seminar coming up in Pittsburgh, so you know that'll be

  Speaker 1: on the book, uh Richmond Virginia for the strong Man
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Seminar with was it John? Why did I forget his
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: last time? I was just watching a video of him too, Yes,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: John Hack, Yeah, so exactly exactly. He just pulled some
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: serious weight.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: So no, yeah, he's he's a strong, strong kid. He's
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: probably one of the best ever I've seen. So he's
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: done good exactly.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: So that'll be a couple of trips that are coming
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: up this year. And then what else. Uh, well, let's
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: get into the movies here because you did watch a
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: new movie and uh, you know, we did.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: We discussed really switching gears.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really switching gears.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean I one thing I like to
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: do to just quiet my head and do the thing
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: and just escape for a couple hours during the week
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: is I like to watch a movie here and there.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: And this week I watched The Fantastic Four.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: The new one with Pedro Pascal.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, and that's kind of Pedro went from being everybody
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: wanted to see Pedro too. Now people are like, eh,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of over this and you know, kind of
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: the things he said and done, and people are kind
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: of like shying away from it now.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, sometimes you're the guy. Sometimes you know, you're not.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens. But I think people had the impression
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that The Fantastic for was going to be another one
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: of those Marvel mess everything up movies. Yeah, and they
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: actually didn't do too bad. I was quite surprised. I
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: wasn't real happy with who they picked to be Silver Surfer.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: But she did a good enough job. Oh yeah, she
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: wasn't bad. She actually did a pretty good job as
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: a Silver Surfer. And then Galactus was pretty cool because
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: it's Galactus exactly. And the story wasn't bad. And you know,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: they Richard and Sue have Franklin and that was kind
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: of interesting. So that was kind of the premise of
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: the movie. Galacus wanted Franklin. They didn't want to give
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: up Franklin, so Gractus said he was going to consume
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: the earth. So and they were trying to find a
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: way to stop it. And it was it was. It
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: wasn't bad. It really wasn't as bad as I thought
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: it was going to.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Be, because you know, I wasn't expecting to hear you
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: say that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, a lot with the Avengers, I
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: don't like what they did with a lot of the
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: you know, Captain Americas and stuff like that. But this
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: one wasn't half bad. It wasn't too horribly bad. They
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: didn't try to go crazy changing characters or changing They
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: went a little weird on who they picked to be
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: some of the characters, but not too bad. So it
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: was actually, if you've never really if you don't know
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: much about the Fantastic before, you're gonna like the movie.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: If you know a lot about the Fantastic Four, you
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: won't be throwing things at the screen. It'll be It'll
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: be okay.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I said, I grew up heavy Marvel comic
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: books cards, you know what I'm saying.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: And I still have four long boxes of comic books.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: It hurts when when they go so far off script, when.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: They destroy the stories. Yes, it's like the reason why
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: we're watching them. Yeah, they're destroying the stories of the characters. Yeah,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: where you completely miscast a character so bad that it
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: literally destroys the movie or what the character actually was. Yeah,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: that's a problem and I really wish people over at
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Disney would like figure that out. Yeah. The reason why
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: people are going to these movies is because they've read
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the comic books. Yeah, way back in the day.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: So you know, a big chunk of the fans are
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: going to be these purest and the.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Adults have gone over their comic books from when they
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: were kids with their kids. Yep, so their kids have
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: seen the old stories. Yes, No, maybe Marvel needs to
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: figure that.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Out big time.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: So the kids know the original words. Because the cool
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: thing about comic books is once it's printed out and
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: people collect them, you can't change the stories, eh, digital
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: e say, once a book is printed. It's printed. If
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: the book's twenty, thirty, forty, even fifty years old, kind
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: of hard to change the storyline when you got it
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: sitting right in front of you. So you know that.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: That's kind of a pretty cool thing, because like I
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: got Iron Man fifty five, which was the first first
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: appearance at Thanos. Yeah, Man one through ten, the original
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: from nineteen sixty eight, stuff like that. I have some
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: really cool old stuff with really cool old stories and
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of the amazing Spider Man's and stuff like that,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: And it's it's kind of neat when you see things
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: kind of stick to the way the old comics were
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: when you were younger.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: So it's a.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Per wasn't a big Fantastic Four collector, but I knew
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of the basic premises is premise premises of it.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I wasn't like totally disappointed seeing the movie,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: So it was it's pretty cool. It wasn't bad.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: It was I'll definitely give it a watch now.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: It was a nice little escape. Yeah. Would I be
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: happier if they had somebody else in Pedro's character? Probably
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: it's spirally somebody a little taller and a little thinner too. Yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: but you know, it's not a perfect world, and he
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: didn't do a bad job playing Reid. Yeah, there's a
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: couple of times where it's like, you could have been
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: a little stronger about things, but other than that, it
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: wasn't too bad. It wasn't too bad because it was
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: pretty tough.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was mentally tough and mentally strong in his opinions,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: but he.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Comes off very strong, very smart.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Stuff like that, but very decisive.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Sue definitely ends up looking like probably the strongest of
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: all the characters.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: I will say that, well, you know she is. She
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be one of the strongest characters, but
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: she never alludes to it in any of the comic books.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: But I want to say, she's not an Omega level,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: but what was the level underneath it? But she's like
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: almost at that top tier in just her powers alone
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: because of the things that she can manipulate.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, and the thing was supposed to be like
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: really really strong and really really tough, and they made
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: him look pretty strong. So but they didn't make him
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: look like the guy that can fight at the Hulk.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's that's how strong he has to be
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: because he has fought in the Hulk multiple times.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, he doesn't win him.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Exactly, but he.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: He fight he's able to fight the Hulk for a while,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: and then Rockman gets tired and Hulk smash. So uh, anyway, yeah,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: that's uh my comic book.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Well, let's give this movie a one through five here.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Mmmm three point three, three.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Point four, that's not too bad. That's three point.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Stretching it, stretching it. But it's it's it's it's it's
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: not one of those things you're just gonna go, oh,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I gotta go see it. But if it's on, I'll
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: watch it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: So it's it's entertaining, it's not.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: It's a lot higher of a star rating than I thought.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: It's not like some of the other stuff where I
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: see it and I start watching, I'm like, oh no,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: you just shut it off and you're like done. You
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: don't even bother way watching the rest of it. So
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: we all run into those movies.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: So now we definitely all run into those you know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I want to talk a little bit shifting
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: on mindset because you know, we we talked definitely about
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of training and a lot of a lot
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: of nutrition and a lot of you know, accountability in
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the first portion of this. But one of the things
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: that we always need to hammer home is and just
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: like you said, you needed to clear your mind, you
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. We've had a few things happen,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, and it's like one of those
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: things that you you reflect, you think, but you know,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: letting go of what of life stresses is probably one
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: of the hardest things any of us can do, you
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. You have to develop a way to
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: know that there's there's things you can change, and there's
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: things you can't change no matter how hard you try.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: You just there's things that will not be changed. And
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: those things that you just can't change and can't you
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: just have to go okay and settle it in your head.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: All right, I can't change this. It's like there's nothing
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: I can do about it, you know, So therefore I
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: have to understand that and just do the best I can.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: That's it. You just put it to the side, Go okay.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: But these things I can change. I can change when
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I get up every day. I can change when I
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: go to sleep every day. I can change when I
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: eat every day. I can change what I eat every day.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: I can change how I think about things. I can
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: change how I educate myself. That's a big one. I
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: can change how I educate myself. You don't have to
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: necessarily be educated by a college to be smart. Don't
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: have to. I don't think Elon Musk went to college.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Some I checked. Dude's doing okay. He's doing all right
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: for himself. So might not be very well liked right now,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, he wants to.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: He's a smart man and he controls a lot of things.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: There's things he can't control, and he doesn't try to
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: control them. He just accepts them, does the best he can,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: and moves into the next thing. And that's what we
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: need to do, is people and change the controls, control
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: the controllables, alter the controllables, make them fit you and
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: your goals in life. And it's going to be mindset
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: at the end of the day that will do that.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: And some people are very motivated to make money. Some
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: people are very motivated to be healthy. Some people are
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: very motivated to be good parents. Some people are very motivated,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: you know, to just find something to accel at. That's fine.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with any of those, but find them
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: and change the controllables in those things that will allow
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: you to perform better at them. Always be improving as
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the best you can. Doesn't have to be perfect, and
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: quit comparing yourself to other people unless you're actually in
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: a competition with them. Other than that, don't compare yourself
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: to your neighbor or your friend or whatever. It's being
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the best you that you want to be. You always
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: want to improve. Can Ben ever be as strong as me? Maybe?
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: But Ben can be the best Ben? Yep, you know.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Can I be as strong as Brian? Probably when Brian
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: was at his peak? Probably not. But I can be
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: the best Nick and I was able to beat him
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: at certain things. I was able to beat a whole
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: bunch of people at certain things. Well, I made the
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: best of what I was able to do, and I
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: over excelled as much as I could at those things.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: And sometimes you out excel your talent. That's the goal.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: When you can exceed your talent level through work and
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: smart that's which you need to achieve. That's the thing
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: to strive for. Exceed your talent level in anything that
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: is that you want to be. You want to be good,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: you know, book smart, job smart, relationship smart, exceed your
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: talent levels. That's it. The goal is to be the
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: best you you can be. And pretty soon when you're
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: the best you you can be, you start being a
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: whole lot better and a whole lot of other people
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: because people don't try to be better all the time.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: And I don't know why, but if you're trying to
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: be better at everything that you do, you're always going
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: to excel. It doesn't have to be all at once.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: It's not going to happen all at once. Everything in
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: life is a slow, methodical gain. There's gonna be things
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: that pop up that you end up doing really good,
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: really fast, and then it's gonna be slow from there.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: And that's okay. That's where you put the work in.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: That's where the grind comes in, and that in the
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: end will lead to your success.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: It really will, absolutely you know what I'm saying. And
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: just like you said, it's controlling the controllables. You can't.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: You can't. There's things you can't control and you gotta
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: let them go. And the things that can fix and
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: help and motivate you are the things that you can
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: literally tweak, fix a just move, you know, put in
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: a new perspective or whatever you want to call it.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: And just like you said, those slow methodical gains start
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: with those things.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Yep. There, Slow methodical games start there. And as long
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: as you're constantly improving or doing the absolute best you can,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: you're always going to win. At the end of the day,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: you're always going to win. You might not win the
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: victories that you want right away, but you will win.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: And you start stacking and stacking and stacking and stacking
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: and stacking, stacking, and all of a sudden you went
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: from down here to up here. And if you keep
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: slowly stacking over time, you end up up here. That's
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: all it is. It's stacking the days. It's stacking the work.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: It's stacking the rest. It's stacking the mental work. It's
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: stacking the mental rest. You don't always And that's part
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: of the hardest thing about super highly motivated people is
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: they they have troubles too. You know what their trouble
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: is turning it off, turning it off, settling down, letting
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: theirself relax and enjoy enjoy it. They don't have to
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: enjoy it for a long time, but they need to
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: settle it down and enjoy what they accomplished and then
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: move on. They have to turn it off a little bit,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: and they will do so much better in the end
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: if they just figure out a way to do that,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: they really will. So Okay, yeah, there's that.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: But there's that, you know what I'm saying. And uh,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I think we covered that pretty well. But uh, okay,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: you know something. You know the one thing I always
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: get the most questions and the most thoughts, and uh
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's people love the strongest man in history.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: So and uh but and we talked, we we've covered
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: it here there. But I definitely you gotta because there's
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: so many opportunities and things that you guys done that
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: weren't covered in the show. Give me a memory of
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: a moment that you were just like oh that was crazy,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: or like we shouldn't have did that, or like, wow,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: that happened it wasn't on camera.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: I think the funniest thing that happened that wasn't on
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: camera was when we trained at the y m c
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: A and Eddie dropped trow on top of the leg
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: press was trying to fight while Robert was doing the
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: leg press. That was absolutely hilarious. Yeah, that was that
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: was pretty funny. You know, Eddie throwing a snowball at
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: me that just happened to be pissed. So there's just
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: guys being guys and funny, silly things that went on
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: that was pretty entertaining. The the dinner that I guess
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Eddie and Robert had where the guy that made the
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: the battle acts, yeah, you know, I guess was pretty awkward,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: pretty pretty outrageous. So I don't think that made it
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: on the show either, So that that one was pretty funny.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: There's just a ton of things that happened on that
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: show that was absolutely hilarious.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: Well that's one of those things we'll probably have to
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: have a much maybe a whole episode, a whole live
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: stream of just kind of go over those.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, it was really a shame. I think.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Another one of the biggest things is when Eddie was
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: supposed to be there with his family and roast us all,
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: which was in him and his family just gang up
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: on the three of us, and it turned out to
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: be quite the opposite, where all of us were getting
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: up and just giving it to Eddie, which was hilarious
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: and sometimes Yeah, there was a line through the film
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: on all of it, and they couldn't use any of it,
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: and that was some of the most that was That
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: would be one of the funniest nights we we ever had,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: like total overall quality of the whole entire night of
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: us all laughing. That was probably one of the funniest
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: nights that we all had.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: I wish you would release that kind of footage. That's
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff that we, you know, the fans, would
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: quite enjoy.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's trying to get me to smoke a cigar
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: the wrong way. That was pretty funny. Yeah, inhale it.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I think you're.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Supposed to puff it in your mouth, and yeah.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Exhale it. I don't think you're supposed to inhale it
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: because it will make you sick. You'll be totally fine.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, okay, Oh, you know a good friend
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: of ours he smokes cigars all the time, and I
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: decided to join in with him. And it was worse
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: than a hangover, all right.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: I was pretty green.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was not. I am not a cigar person
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: any fat because I was like, I don't feel well.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: I typically don't like to poison myself. That much. Yeah,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: I'll take a zero and things like that, is.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: That you know, I care, you know, where some of
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: us aren't as strong as.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: No we we've like, like I said, nobody, nobody's perfect, nobody,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: very few, let me put it that way. So there's
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: there's always something and you just do the best you
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: can to mitigate what it was and get through it
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: and like, okay, well, won't be doing that again any
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: time ever or ever. Yeah, learn lesson learn. But you know,
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: John talks about a thing, you know, you know, always
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: find one thing during the day that you're never going
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: to do again, yeah, you know, and get rid of it.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: And I definitely did that.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the one purge thing I did for
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: that day. And you know that was something I learned
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: from John that I will be. The way he talked
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: about it is you know, you know, you end up
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: doing it not realizing it. And now it's one of
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: those things, Well, I'll consciously think about that. You know,
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: what's the one thing today that I don't want to
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: do an that I won't do again because it didn't
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: help me move forwards on something today exactly. And it's
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: sometimes hard to think about that. But it's like anything.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: When you keep your notes and you keep track of
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: the things, go back to it and find things that
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: work for you and keep doing them. Find things that
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: don't work for you. It could be more than one thing.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Don't do that anymore. Get rid of it. That includes friends.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: If you have friends that are helping you move forwards
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: and support you and your goal, keeping there and keeping close.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: If you have friends in your life that are trying
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: to divert you and get you to do other things
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: that aren't good for your goals, make them acquaintances instead
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: of friends. Still be friendly to them, still talk to them,
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: still say hi, still keep up with them, But they
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: don't get to the inner circle yes anymore because they're
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: not their Their goals and their pattern and the things
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that they're trying to accomplish are not what you're trying
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: to do exactly. And people that are not, people that
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: are trying to do other things besides what you're doing,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: might not necessarily care that you're trying to excel at something.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: And those are the people that become acquaintances as well
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: and instead of friends exactly.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: And that's truth and that solid advice. You know what
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like you said, you know, every so every day,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't have to be every day, but you
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: find that one thing you need to purge, the one
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: thing you need to let the whether whether you think
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: about it or not, because like a lot of people
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: don't ever really question when they need to purge, because
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: you just kind of think things need to be a
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: certain way at all times. Right, I was like, no, no,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: what makes you happy? Keep doing that, things that make
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: you sad, things that upset you, things that make you mad.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Guess what, you don't have to do them.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Nope, Nope, that's it, and we just move on to
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: the next thing.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Exactly, Man, Nick, I think we kind of hit full
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: circle on today's episode.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Here coming back, circling back, circling back, circling back anyway. Yeah, so,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the day, you know
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: what's going on in your body, So write it down,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: take notes, take advice from everybody, try some new things,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: learn what works, learn what doesn't work. With your food,
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: with your sleep, with your training, and with your learning,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna be a lot You will be far
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: better off a year from now, far better off a
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: year from now. And these things aren't things that are
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: gonna happen overnight. They take time. But a year from
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: now you're gonna be better, Five years from now, even better.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: Ten years from now, you're gonna be untouchable. You're gonna
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: excel at whatever it is that you've decided you wanted
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: to be good at. And you will get there. You
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: will get there. It just takes time. So put the time,
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: put the work in. You're gonna get there. And as oh,
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: you know, and I think that's probably a pretty good
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: way to end the show. So go out, be great,
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: do good things for people, and train hard, train smart,
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: and be the best you can be. That's all you
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: can ever do is go out and be the best
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: you can be. Go out and have a great day,
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: and thank you everybody, thanks for watching this.
• 49:48

• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Physically mentally is debatable, but physically we'll see you. Oh
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: you got to try to throw little humorous where I can.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the best experience would make best
