- 1:31Speaker 1: because a lot of times we have to read the
- 1:33Speaker 1: email address and you know, unfortunately, you know, it's it's
- 1:36Speaker 1: not the greatest recognition, but it's what we can do
- 1:39Speaker 1: so far because it's you know, you know, we just
- 1:40Speaker 1: need a little help on that end. So we would.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Appreciate it and thank you all very much. Yes, first
- 1:49Speaker 2: question is kind of an interesting one. It has to
- 1:53Speaker 2: do with food and dieting and stuff like that because
- 1:56Speaker 2: people are vegetarians and things like that, and that's fine. Yeah, Yeah,
- 2:01Speaker 2: for vegetation vegetarians, they have some plant based meats on
- 2:08Speaker 2: the market for them, and tradition it usually comes from
- 2:11Speaker 2: beans or another source. But their new technology comes out
- 2:18Speaker 2: culture from animal cells. And is animals still meat culture?
- 2:23Speaker 2: Fake vegetarian? Yeah, that's fake vegetarian. If it's an animal
- 2:27Speaker 2: cell culture, it's an animal. I mean, it's like anything else.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I mean, you're the culture of the actual DNA of
- 2:38Speaker 2: the animal, and it's just culture. Is the muscle of
- 2:41Speaker 2: the animal, it's still you know, it's still animal muscle. Yeah,
- 2:47Speaker 2: if it's culture, if it's if it's yeah, if it's
- 2:50Speaker 2: cultured from an animal muscle cell, then it's going to
- 2:55Speaker 2: be neat and that's just how it is. Yeah, So
- 2:59Speaker 2: that's not really a vegetarian. If you're going to not
- 3:02Speaker 2: eat meat. That is not that's you're eating meat. Yeah,
- 3:10Speaker 2: that's all I can tell you. Yeah, So it's the
- 3:13Speaker 2: simplest answer I can give to you for that. But yeah,
- 3:17Speaker 2: I mean it's not like a plant based growth of anything.
- 3:22Speaker 2: It's it's somebody trying to find a way to get
- 3:25Speaker 2: people to spend their money. Yeah, it really is, and
- 3:30Speaker 2: trying to find a way around a around what somebody
- 3:36Speaker 2: wants to do.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Well, they're trying to find a way to make money
- 3:39Speaker 1: off of a product that they can sell. Is something that.
- 3:42Speaker 2: It's not correct and yeah it's yeah, animal cells or
- 3:48Speaker 2: animal cells or animal cells. Yeah, you know, and if
- 3:53Speaker 2: you're culturing those, yeah, that's that's an animal cell. So
- 3:56Speaker 2: it's an answer to your question. So there you go.
- 4:00Speaker 2: There you have it. Culture, muscle cells, our culture from animals.
- 4:06Speaker 2: It's culture meat yep, it's it's all is. It's not vegetarian.
- 4:12Speaker 2: So sorry, my nose a little stuffy today, guys, My apologies.
- 4:18Speaker 2: So I'm gonna be breathing and inhaling a lot, which
- 4:22Speaker 2: I feel fine. I just got a stuff he knows,
- 4:25Speaker 2: just weird, all right. The next one kind of kind
- 4:30Speaker 2: of hits kind of weird and sad and it's a
- 4:38Speaker 2: bad topic, but I want to talk about it. There
- 4:44Speaker 2: was recently a subway station attack in Taiwan and four
- 4:52Speaker 2: people lost their lives and eleven people got injured during this,
- 4:59Speaker 2: and they're asking should people try to protect each other
- 5:03Speaker 2: or or like run and just try to get away
- 5:08Speaker 2: from the person. Here's the problem. If these people aren't
- 5:13Speaker 2: stopped right away, they're gonna they're gonna hurt people. They'll
- 5:16Speaker 2: hurt whoever they can catch. The slowest moving people will
- 5:19Speaker 2: be the be the victims of this person. Instead of
- 5:23Speaker 2: all the people running away from the guy, everybody disabled
- 5:32Speaker 2: the guy. If you're on a subway and there's twenty
- 5:38Speaker 2: people in the car, there's no way one person can
- 5:41Speaker 2: take all twenty of you. It's they can't. One person
- 5:48Speaker 2: grabbed the arm that's got the knife and hold on
- 5:51Speaker 2: to it, and then everybody attack them. I mean, we
- 5:55Speaker 2: want to stay as peaceful as we can, but we
- 5:59Speaker 2: can't let evil hurt or destroy other people. And part
- 6:06Speaker 2: of this is one of the people that passed was
- 6:09Speaker 2: a fifty seven year old man that tried to stop it,
- 6:14Speaker 2: and he ended up losing his life for it. And
- 6:19Speaker 2: you know, it's a very unbelievably noble thing to do
- 6:23Speaker 2: and not very common anymore. And I think if people
- 6:29Speaker 2: that are doing these bad and evil things, if people
- 6:32Speaker 2: ran and after the guy, I mean gun, a knife
- 6:38Speaker 2: is much different than a gun. I mean, you can
- 6:39Speaker 2: take off your jacket and throw it around the knife,
- 6:43Speaker 2: you know that type of thing. I mean some of
- 6:46Speaker 2: it it's going to stab right through, but if you've
- 6:47Speaker 2: got a denim jacket on, it'll slow it down an
- 6:49Speaker 2: awful lot. And you can just do things to defend.
- 6:54Speaker 2: And if people are not very strong or whatever, still
- 6:58Speaker 2: one three piece people four people can easily overpower one
- 7:03Speaker 2: normal person. And we just have to look at things
- 7:08Speaker 2: that way. We have to look at it differently philosophy
- 7:11Speaker 2: as a society, as everybody's taught to be scared and
- 7:14Speaker 2: run away, and I mean depending on what the situation is.
- 7:20Speaker 2: If it's a gun, there's nothing you can do, I
- 7:22Speaker 2: mean unless you're coming up behind the guy. And we
- 7:25Speaker 2: saw what happened in Australia when people were brave and
- 7:29Speaker 2: got it behind the guy. They really limited the amount
- 7:32Speaker 2: of people that they could hurt by coming up and
- 7:36Speaker 2: getting after the guy. And that's how they stopped him,
- 7:39Speaker 2: and it's going to be the same anywhere. It's just
- 7:42Speaker 2: if you're in the direct line of fire, you know,
- 7:45Speaker 2: get out of it as fast as you can. But
- 7:48Speaker 2: if you're behind the guy and he's busy doing other things,
- 7:52Speaker 2: stop him, and not just one, everybody go after him
- 7:59Speaker 2: and stop him. You know, I know, if I'm in
- 8:02Speaker 2: that situation, I'm going to do everything I can to
- 8:06Speaker 2: keep people from get other people from getting hurt. I
- 8:09Speaker 2: will do everything I can to, you know, stop what
- 8:15Speaker 2: is happening at that given moment in time. And even
- 8:18Speaker 2: if that even you know, even it costs me, you know,
- 8:23Speaker 2: it's it's just not right. We can't let these people
- 8:28Speaker 2: that do harm, the evil in the world succeed and
- 8:31Speaker 2: cause fear. You know, we should, you know, we shouldn't
- 8:37Speaker 2: be afraid of these things. We should mentally and almost
- 8:42Speaker 2: practice what to do in these situations. To be quite
- 8:45Speaker 2: honest with you. On a societal level, you know, there
- 8:48Speaker 2: should be like places where people go and you know,
- 8:52Speaker 2: it would be kind of interesting to see classes where
- 8:56Speaker 2: groups of people that ride the same subway every day
- 9:00Speaker 2: get together and go take a class on how to
- 9:01Speaker 2: defend each other, defend each other on subways, maybe kind of,
- 9:07Speaker 2: because the government has clearly proven all governments have proven
- 9:13Speaker 2: pretty well that they can't protect people. They can't the laws.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Criminals don't care about the laws at all. I don't.
- 9:23Speaker 2: And you don't necessarily need a gun. This guy did
- 9:25Speaker 2: it with a machete. Yep. You know, the guys in Australia.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Some of the strictest gun laws there are on the
- 9:31Speaker 2: planet or in Australia, and they still got guns and
- 9:34Speaker 2: they still did what they did. Exactly. It doesn't laws
- 9:39Speaker 2: don't stop evil. No, good people stop evil exactly, so
- 9:45Speaker 2: good people should stop evil. It's you know, and good
- 9:51Speaker 2: people are gonna suffer as well, but you know what,
- 9:57Speaker 2: it's better to suffer and having protected good people then not.
- 10:02Speaker 2: I mean, you know, yeah, it's just it's sad. It's
- 10:08Speaker 2: sad you have to think of things this way. But
- 10:12Speaker 2: I mean, with with school shootings and stuff like that,
- 10:16Speaker 2: alls we've done is made our schools soft targets, you know,
- 10:20Speaker 2: and and schools and our schools and college campuses. They're
- 10:24Speaker 2: not protected the way our politicians are protected. Our politicians
- 10:28Speaker 2: are protected with highly trained men with guns. And you
- 10:32Speaker 2: don't see a whole lot of things happening to them.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Why because it's not a safe place to do that.
- 10:38Speaker 2: It's not you're not going to be very successful where
- 10:41Speaker 2: our schools should be protected the same way our politicians are.
- 10:45Speaker 2: And if our politicians can't do that, then maybe we
- 10:48Speaker 2: don't need those politicians because our children are a lot
- 10:51Speaker 2: more valuable than our politicians exactly every day of the week.
- 10:56Speaker 2: And we should really look at places not being soft
- 10:59Speaker 2: targets anymore. And if people are going to do evil,
- 11:02Speaker 2: then their forfeit, plain and simple. You know. It's there's
- 11:10Speaker 2: too many ways for people to get out of doing
- 11:12Speaker 2: bad deeds and still, oh we're going to it. Used
- 11:17Speaker 2: to be like if you leave a bad apple in
- 11:20Speaker 2: the bottom of a barrel, it ruins the whole barrel. Well,
- 11:24Speaker 2: it's the same way in life. So we should really
- 11:29Speaker 2: you know, the people that are rotten apples need to
- 11:33Speaker 2: not be rotten apples, you know. And we need to
- 11:38Speaker 2: take care of people, and the people need to take
- 11:41Speaker 2: care of themselves. You should be able to take care
- 11:46Speaker 2: of yourself and take care of others and band together
- 11:50Speaker 2: with others. You should be all to be able to
- 11:51Speaker 2: look at each other and go, okay, you guys are
- 11:54Speaker 2: behind them. We're in front of them, and we'll distract them.
- 11:55Speaker 2: You get him, you know, dude can't be looking in
- 11:59Speaker 2: every direction at once, and you know, you limit their
- 12:06Speaker 2: ability to do damage down to one or less and
- 12:10Speaker 2: maybe it's maybe it's not fatal anymore, and they get
- 12:13Speaker 2: a scar. I'm okay. You know, I'll take a scar.
- 12:17Speaker 2: If I say somebody's life, I'll take a scar. I
- 12:19Speaker 2: got no problem with that, you know. So it's it's
- 12:23Speaker 2: just the way we seed to start looking at this
- 12:25Speaker 2: as a societal thing is don't run and don't rely
- 12:28Speaker 2: on other people for protecting ourselves. Learn how to protect
- 12:32Speaker 2: ourselves and protect ourselves. So I mean it's sad. I
- 12:40Speaker 2: it really bothers me to have to think and like
- 12:44Speaker 2: start thinking that way. But like I said, society is
- 12:49Speaker 2: proving there's enough evil in this world and the evil
- 12:51Speaker 2: needs to be needs to be stopped. And you don't
- 12:54Speaker 2: legislate good people thinking it's going to stop the evil
- 12:57Speaker 2: people don't. And you allow people to protect themselves, you know,
- 13:06Speaker 2: And that's that's a big deal. I mean, you should
- 13:09Speaker 2: have the right to defend your life and it and
- 13:14Speaker 2: you should absolutely should be able to do that. So
- 13:20Speaker 2: alls I can say, is you know, it would be
- 13:22Speaker 2: good to see communities like start to do programs where
- 13:27Speaker 2: you know they they have training for this and do
- 13:30Speaker 2: training for this and.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Even training for self awareness to like recognize, hey, this
- 13:35Speaker 1: guy's off.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Maybe we should you know, one guy on a bus
- 13:40Speaker 2: and say there's six women and five guys on the bus.
- 13:45Speaker 2: You can still stop one guy. You can, you can
- 13:48Speaker 2: stop them. And you know, if you all work together,
- 13:53Speaker 2: if people work together, if the good people work together
- 13:56Speaker 2: as a team, you can stop all the evil people.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Because there's way more good people than there are bad ones. Exactly,
- 14:03Speaker 2: very so we need to work together to stop the
- 14:06Speaker 2: bad ones. We really do.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And our thoughts of prayer's gotten to those people out
- 14:11Speaker 1: there that that so much, exactly so much. Yeah, well,
- 14:19Speaker 1: you know, let's try to pivot a little bit. Have
- 14:22Speaker 1: you seen anything new lately.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Nick, Yeah, but I can't remember what it is.
- 14:29Speaker 1: Like that. Well, yeah, we will talk about is Nick
- 14:33Speaker 1: just got a massage? And how important is getting a massage?
- 14:37Speaker 1: Like like not just like one of those like you know, no,
- 14:41Speaker 1: you need one of those.
- 14:43Speaker 2: This isn't a fun and relaxing massage. Ashley is very
- 14:48Speaker 2: good at what she does and she knows how to
- 14:52Speaker 2: get in there and break things up, but not to
- 14:54Speaker 2: the point where it causes so much trauma that I
- 14:56Speaker 2: can't use the body part for a long period of time.
- 15:01Speaker 2: General rule of thumb is should be you should be
- 15:04Speaker 2: sore from from a massage for probably two days. It's
- 15:08Speaker 2: not something you'd want to do right before an athletic event.
- 15:13Speaker 2: If you do, you want to do it like five
- 15:15Speaker 2: or six days before so you're fully recovered. And then
- 15:18Speaker 2: go in and if you're really tight from like a
- 15:21Speaker 2: plane flat or whatever, go see like the massage therapist
- 15:25Speaker 2: and have them rub into a little bit but not
- 15:27Speaker 2: very hard, and have you have them slowly stretch you
- 15:31Speaker 2: for probably fifteen to twenty minutes instead of digging into
- 15:35Speaker 2: the muscles really hard. The only digging should be just
- 15:38Speaker 2: enough to loosen things up a little bit, and that
- 15:41Speaker 2: shouldn't you shouldn't feel any discomfort in that. It just
- 15:45Speaker 2: kind of like rubbing the area kind of like this
- 15:47Speaker 2: and trying to get blood flowing into the area and
- 15:49Speaker 2: get things to relax, to loosen up a little bit.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Nothing nothing hard going into going into a contest, and
- 16:00Speaker 2: then depending on what happens at the contest, stuff like that.
- 16:03Speaker 2: We've all had to go see somebody like the trainers
- 16:07Speaker 2: or the physical therapists or stuff, and they'll they'll work
- 16:11Speaker 2: on you a little bit and they'll they'll find like
- 16:14Speaker 2: a knot and they'll get the knot out. But again
- 16:16Speaker 2: they're still they're going in there just trying to loosen
- 16:19Speaker 2: you back up. They're not like trying to like like
- 16:23Speaker 2: strip something out and get it to where you can
- 16:25Speaker 2: move that like just dig into it where you're gonna
- 16:28Speaker 2: have to have days of healing from. Yeah, so it's
- 16:31Speaker 2: a it's a pretty good thing to gauge, but yeah,
- 16:35Speaker 2: you don't want to get You want a really good
- 16:37Speaker 2: massage about five days before you compete.
- 16:40Speaker 1: There you go. Now, now let's talk about the every
- 16:42Speaker 1: day person, because, like I said, most people go their
- 16:45Speaker 1: whole lives and never get a massage. Do you feel
- 16:48Speaker 1: there's an importance to that for like the everyday person
- 16:50Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
- 16:53Speaker 2: You know, I get it, Like, yeah, I understand the
- 16:57Speaker 2: everyday person should probably get one every other week. And
- 17:01Speaker 2: you don't have to get a long one. You know,
- 17:02Speaker 2: you can get a forty five minute one into an
- 17:04Speaker 2: hour and then just have them go through everything your circulation,
- 17:09Speaker 2: the way your body feels, everything's going to feel so
- 17:12Speaker 2: much better. I mean, like if your back's out of place,
- 17:18Speaker 2: you go see your chiropractor, but you don't keep seeing
- 17:21Speaker 2: the chiropractor. The massage therapist is the one you want
- 17:24Speaker 2: to see all the time. They're the ones that deal
- 17:26Speaker 2: with the muscles and the connective tissue and stuff like that,
- 17:30Speaker 2: and those are who you want to go see all
- 17:33Speaker 2: the time and then have them fix and then once
- 17:35Speaker 2: your back's back straight, you're good and you can go
- 17:39Speaker 2: see the chiropractor again and once you put it back out,
- 17:44Speaker 2: like I have more times than I can count. But
- 17:47Speaker 2: the massage therapist is like integral. I mean, if you
- 17:50Speaker 2: get a good one that does a great job, that
- 17:55Speaker 2: gets gets the mobility back, gets into the muscles, it's
- 18:00Speaker 2: moving your body around, it's gonna make your body heal
- 18:04Speaker 2: from things a whole lot better, and your body's gonna
- 18:07Speaker 2: move better. You're gonna keep your mobility far, far longer
- 18:12Speaker 2: than you would if you didn't. And it's also good.
- 18:16Speaker 2: It might not be very relaxing when they're doing it,
- 18:18Speaker 2: but it's good for relaxing when they're done. I'm very
- 18:21Speaker 2: relaxed right now. So I'm trying to get fired out
- 18:26Speaker 2: to the show. It's like I'm very just com so.
- 18:35Speaker 2: But it's definitely something intricate. I mean, for like I said,
- 18:39Speaker 2: every everyday normal people, once every two weeks, maybe every
- 18:43Speaker 2: three weeks, will do you actually a lot of good.
- 18:47Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's probably the equivalent on your circulatory
- 18:51Speaker 2: system of running like a half a mile, yeah, you know,
- 18:54Speaker 2: maybe even a mile, because it's going to get the
- 18:56Speaker 2: blood flowing all over your body. It's going to get
- 18:59Speaker 2: them the tissues moving and stuff like that that maybe
- 19:03Speaker 2: you sit at a desk all the time, it's going
- 19:05Speaker 2: to help your sow as and your lower back and
- 19:08Speaker 2: stuff like that, because your so as will shorten when
- 19:11Speaker 2: you're sitting all day, yeah, which will end up making
- 19:15Speaker 2: it tight and cause a lot of problems. So they
- 19:18Speaker 2: can get into that and stretch those things out and
- 19:20Speaker 2: dig into the muscle and lengthen them again. And it
- 19:23Speaker 2: really has a big impact on your overall movement and
- 19:29Speaker 2: range of motion and stuff like that. And it's just
- 19:31Speaker 2: your healing from just everyday live so regular, every day, average,
- 19:36Speaker 2: everyday people. I would say every two weeks or even
- 19:39Speaker 2: every three weeks, go get one spoil yourself. It just
- 19:44Speaker 2: it's good. It's a good thing to do, it really is.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So you know I like to say that,
- 19:51Speaker 1: you know, it's it. You know, massaging massages are a luxury,
- 19:55Speaker 1: but it's also a luxury that you need to actually
- 19:57Speaker 1: treat yourself because a lot of us hold so much tension,
- 20:00Speaker 1: so much stress.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Well, people spend Yeah, people spend you know, five bucks
- 20:06Speaker 2: a day at Starbucks for two weeks, you know, that's
- 20:11Speaker 2: what twenty five bucks a week. That's fifty bucks. You know,
- 20:15Speaker 2: if you do that for three weeks, it's seventy five
- 20:17Speaker 2: bucks just on a cup of coffee. And it's usually
- 20:19Speaker 2: more than that now. So yeah, I'm just I'm being conservative.
- 20:22Speaker 2: So seventy five bucks a good massage is about A
- 20:26Speaker 2: good massage therapist for forty five minutes to an hour
- 20:30Speaker 2: is about one hundred bucks. Yep. I would rather do
- 20:33Speaker 2: that than just buy coffee and make it at the house.
- 20:37Speaker 1: That's what we're saying though, is that way.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Yeah, there's many there's so many ways to make up
- 20:43Speaker 2: for it financially and take from other little things that
- 20:46Speaker 2: you do to treat yourself to this one's actually going
- 20:48Speaker 2: to make a really big impact on you and you
- 20:50Speaker 2: feel a lot better. Exactly.
- 20:53Speaker 1: That's the point that I'm trying to drive home for
- 20:55Speaker 1: some of these people, because, like a lot of people,
- 20:57Speaker 1: you think of this it's a spa day. It's a
- 20:59Speaker 1: same It's like, no, you get massage therapists that come
- 21:02Speaker 1: to your house. There's places that you just you make
- 21:04Speaker 1: an appointment, you show up, you know what I'm saying.
- 21:06Speaker 2: And also feel good while they're doing it. It's gonna hurt,
- 21:10Speaker 2: it's gonna be uncomfortable. It's gonna test your ability to
- 21:16Speaker 2: put pain to the side while they're doing it. It
- 21:18Speaker 2: doesn't feel good while they're doing it. If it feels
- 21:21Speaker 2: good while they're doing it, they're not doing it right there.
- 21:26Speaker 2: It shouldn't be so painful and it shouldn't be so
- 21:28Speaker 2: excruciating that you can't move either. It's gonna be uncomfortable,
- 21:34Speaker 2: it's gonna not feel that great while they're doing it,
- 21:37Speaker 2: but when you get up and you start moving around,
- 21:38Speaker 2: you're like, oh, oh, oh, it's so much better. And
- 21:43Speaker 2: you just got to understand it's not gonna be something
- 21:46Speaker 2: You're gotta feel good when you're done, not while you're
- 21:48Speaker 2: doing it. So exactly, no exactly.
- 21:52Speaker 1: You know, that's just one of those things. But also
- 21:54Speaker 1: to us, it's something I always want to point out
- 21:56Speaker 1: because a lot of people, you know, and when I
- 21:58Speaker 1: mean a lot of people, regular men just feel that
- 22:02Speaker 1: it's it's not a manly thing to do. But like, no,
- 22:05Speaker 1: it's a we wreck our bodies. Oh you know what
- 22:08Speaker 1: I'm saying. We like men have a lot of men
- 22:11Speaker 1: out there have hard jobs, beat themselves down and then
- 22:15Speaker 1: there's no self care or self love in that fact
- 22:18Speaker 1: of like you're doing something to maintenance your body. Because
- 22:20Speaker 1: that's just something I always want to drive home because
- 22:22Speaker 1: I know a lot of guys they talk about getting
- 22:24Speaker 1: a massage. I'm like, yeah, it's we trust me. It's
- 22:28Speaker 1: a lot worse than you think, but it's a lot
- 22:30Speaker 1: better than you think.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, it's just you'll find it. Sometimes you'll
- 22:36Speaker 2: go through two, three, four therapists before you find one
- 22:39Speaker 2: that works for you. And you got to find one
- 22:42Speaker 2: that works for you. There's there's a lot of great
- 22:45Speaker 2: people out there, and it's just finding the match for
- 22:48Speaker 2: what your body needs that makes a big difference. Exactly.
- 22:51Speaker 2: So more pivoting, yes, I uh, which is gonna bring
- 22:58Speaker 2: me to two different subjects. But I was watching Eddie
- 23:02Speaker 2: Hall's YouTube interview that he did with Mitchell No. I
- 23:09Speaker 2: know there's somebody else, but I was watching it and
- 23:14Speaker 2: he got asked who the strongest person per pound that
- 23:19Speaker 2: he thinks he's ever seen. Yeah, and I couldn't agree
- 23:22Speaker 2: with Ed Moore. It's Eddie Cohen. Yeah. Yeah, it's how
- 23:29Speaker 2: you know, which brings me to the next subject today.
- 23:32Speaker 2: There's a guy out there right now that's pulled like
- 23:34Speaker 2: one Thoy seventy seven sumo. Oh yeah, And I'm not
- 23:40Speaker 2: saying the guy is not strong, but there's a massive
- 23:44Speaker 2: difference in Eddie's deadlift. In his deadlift, they're not the
- 23:49Speaker 2: same lift anymore, no, they they've the bar, probably gave
- 23:56Speaker 2: five inches the bars. First of all, the bar is
- 23:59Speaker 2: longer so you can spin your feet wider. Then on
- 24:03Speaker 2: top of that, the bar is thinner, so it bends
- 24:07Speaker 2: more and it makes it easier to wrap your hands
- 24:09Speaker 2: around and thumb lock. And to me, there's no difference
- 24:13Speaker 2: between thumblock and wearing straps, no other than other than
- 24:17Speaker 2: not wearing strapped. Wearing straps doesn't. It doesn't hurt, and
- 24:21Speaker 2: thumblocking hurts until you get used to it because I've
- 24:26Speaker 2: thumbl locked before. I know what it's like, and it
- 24:29Speaker 2: takes about four or five months to really get used
- 24:32Speaker 2: to it, and then it's just maintenance from when the
- 24:35Speaker 2: skin breaks but or the nail that you lose during
- 24:39Speaker 2: that process. But I think it's no different than using
- 24:44Speaker 2: a pair of wrist straps. I really it's not very
- 24:46Speaker 2: much different. And you know, the bars if you want
- 24:52Speaker 2: to be that type of a lifter to be considered
- 24:54Speaker 2: in the range of where the goat is, where Ed
- 24:57Speaker 2: Cohen is pull it on the bar, he pulled it on.
- 25:00Speaker 1: And guess what, I agree with them and do it.
- 25:03Speaker 2: With a two hour away and yeah, because that's how
- 25:07Speaker 2: he did it. Yeah, and we've kind of lost all
- 25:11Speaker 2: of that. Alls we're concerned about is developing something to
- 25:15Speaker 2: change the lift completely. The list. The deadlift back in
- 25:20Speaker 2: the day is not the same deadlift they're doing now.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they have such a big mechanical advantage. Now
- 25:26Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because that's what it is.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Let's get it straight. It's a mechanical advantage because they
- 25:31Speaker 1: really do you want.
- 25:32Speaker 2: To be judged on actually getting stronger and being as
- 25:37Speaker 2: strong as one of the greatest of all time, because
- 25:39Speaker 2: if you do, then you need to do it the
- 25:41Speaker 2: way he did it. Yeah, not not do it with
- 25:45Speaker 2: you know, a squad bar that doesn't bend well, I
- 25:49Speaker 2: can't stand the kabookie squad bars. They oscillate, but not
- 25:55Speaker 2: not doing it on a bar that doesn't bend, that's thicker,
- 25:59Speaker 2: that's long, longer, that's wider, that you can move your
- 26:02Speaker 2: hands way out here, work on your shoulder billing ability
- 26:05Speaker 2: each where you can get into in the Leco bar
- 26:10Speaker 2: right now, the only bar that's even close that USA
- 26:14Speaker 2: Powerlifting uses it, and I think the IPF uses it,
- 26:16Speaker 2: which those are great bars. You don't see a whole
- 26:19Speaker 2: lot of thousand pound deadlifters in the I p F
- 26:22Speaker 2: or in the USA Powerlithing reason being bar doesn't bend
- 26:28Speaker 2: five inches. It might bend a half or one at most,
- 26:34Speaker 2: So it makes a massive difference. So those are legit,
- 26:38Speaker 2: legit deadlifts. And that's why people are screaming about sumo,
- 26:43Speaker 2: and that's why, oh you sumo. And then there used
- 26:46Speaker 2: to not be a very big difference between sumo and
- 26:48Speaker 2: conventional because the bar didn't give so much. Conventional you
- 26:53Speaker 2: might get the bar to move give like an inch
- 26:55Speaker 2: or two maybe two now on these new bars, but
- 26:59Speaker 2: giving five, you know, I all you have to do
- 27:02Speaker 2: is look, there's a couple of videos out there the
- 27:04Speaker 2: guys wearing like Adidas socks, yeah, and the bars below
- 27:07Speaker 2: the Adidas three stripes yep, and then the bars over
- 27:16Speaker 2: those stripes when it comes off the ground and it's
- 27:18Speaker 2: like this far yep. Which my hands are big, so
- 27:22Speaker 2: that's probably like four to five inches. So yeah, it's
- 27:27Speaker 2: it's it's not the same lift. It's not, it's not,
- 27:31Speaker 2: and it's it's just people wanting to lift more, and
- 27:35Speaker 2: it's just like, yeah, yeah, we all want to lift more,
- 27:39Speaker 2: but we want to lift more with the standardized equipment,
- 27:44Speaker 2: and yeah, okay, you want the all time world record,
- 27:48Speaker 2: the most ever done, but it's not you're not doing
- 27:54Speaker 2: it to the same standards. If you want to say
- 27:57Speaker 2: you beat the goat or the greatest of all time,
- 28:01Speaker 2: then you got to do it the way he did it.
- 28:03Speaker 2: If you don't do it that way, you didn't beat him.
- 28:05Speaker 2: You you did it with different rules, you did it
- 28:08Speaker 2: in different situations. You know, I would like to see
- 28:12Speaker 2: these guys do it with two hour wayans. I had
- 28:14Speaker 2: to do that when I to both the Nationals and
- 28:18Speaker 2: the Worlds, I won. We had two hour wayans.
- 28:21Speaker 1: Yeah there was just like you said, you dead lived
- 28:26Speaker 1: with the same bar you squat with.
- 28:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, squat benks and deadline with the same bar. Yeah.
- 28:33Speaker 2: It really, it really takes a lot of the manipulation
- 28:40Speaker 2: out of it. You got to get back to being strong,
- 28:43Speaker 2: you know.
- 28:43Speaker 1: That's you know, and we're not saying these people aren't strong, No.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Not at all. But if you want to compare yourself
- 28:52Speaker 2: to that man, then you got to do it the
- 28:54Speaker 2: way he did it. If you don't, if you don't
- 28:56Speaker 2: want to do it the way he did it, don't
- 28:58Speaker 2: act like you can eat to him. Just that's my
- 29:02Speaker 2: two cents on that. There we go.
- 29:04Speaker 1: So and I agree, and it's a good friend to
- 29:08Speaker 1: both of us. And I love that man to death.
- 29:11Speaker 1: He's the only person his size I feel can kick
- 29:14Speaker 1: my ass in a knife fight.
- 29:19Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still he's over sixty and you still get
- 29:22Speaker 2: nervous when you shake his hand, let me tell you so.
- 29:28Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just yeah, he's got vices for hands.
- 29:33Speaker 2: And but I mean, he he loves everybody and he
- 29:38Speaker 2: will help coach anyone.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Yes, you know, and he really takes the time.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll take his time, he'll work with you, stuff
- 29:48Speaker 2: like that. He just wants to see people be successful.
- 29:51Speaker 2: And you know, same way I feel this. That's one
- 29:55Speaker 2: of the people I learned it from. And I tell
- 29:57Speaker 2: you what, it's it's neat to still have people from
- 30:01Speaker 2: when I was a kid that I looked up to
- 30:03Speaker 2: that I can still look up to today. That's not
- 30:06Speaker 2: very common anymore. There's not Ale. I've met a lot
- 30:09Speaker 2: of my you know, heroes of the people I looked
- 30:11Speaker 2: up to, and a lot of them I don't look
- 30:14Speaker 2: up to him very much anymore, I don't, you know,
- 30:17Speaker 2: but him, he's one that I still to this day
- 30:21Speaker 2: will look up to. Yeah, I mean, because he just
- 30:24Speaker 2: leads that life and sets that example so exactly. It's
- 30:28Speaker 2: it's pretty cool. So yeah, yeah, watching the things get
- 30:35Speaker 2: posted about this guy's you know, I'm just like and
- 30:39Speaker 2: you're just looking at the bar and it's like, yeah,
- 30:42Speaker 2: the weights are way down here, and I'm just like,
- 30:44Speaker 2: come on, man, Well you.
- 30:46Speaker 1: Know, it's like even too, there's a lot of the rules,
- 30:49Speaker 1: Like you know, one of the things that I didn't
- 30:51Speaker 1: really know too much until we started working and we
- 30:54Speaker 1: started to go into events and shows. Is how like,
- 30:57Speaker 1: even with straps, how far most people's fingers.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the you know, on the bar.
- 31:03Speaker 1: And that they even have to make rules to be like, no,
- 31:05Speaker 1: you have to finger and thumb touch the bar. You
- 31:08Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Because there's so many little tricks
- 31:11Speaker 1: in there that people can get away with.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Oh yeah, when you're when you're using the figure eights, yeah,
- 31:17Speaker 2: you can just barely have your fingertips around the bar
- 31:21Speaker 2: and you still got the bar. So yeah, it's there's yeah,
- 31:27Speaker 2: I mean regular wrist traps. I think they should go
- 31:30Speaker 2: back to just the regular risk wrist traps and get
- 31:33Speaker 2: rid of the figure eights. It's the figure eights. You've
- 31:37Speaker 2: seen people if they black out, they can't let go
- 31:40Speaker 2: of the bar. They're coming right now, right now. You
- 31:43Speaker 2: see them do a face plant and flip over backwards
- 31:45Speaker 2: and stuff. You know, I just don't think they should
- 31:51Speaker 2: be used in the competitions really, to be quite honest
- 31:54Speaker 2: with you, just just get a longer pair of straps.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Even with the longer straps, you can still let go
- 32:00Speaker 2: with a par yep, you know, and you still have
- 32:04Speaker 2: would still have to have even if you held the
- 32:07Speaker 2: straps with your fingers. You still can't have it so
- 32:10Speaker 2: far down because it'll still come out of your hand.
- 32:12Speaker 2: You have to hold on to the things, so you
- 32:16Speaker 2: can only manipulate it so much where you get exactly
- 32:20Speaker 2: you might get half an inch out of it, not
- 32:24Speaker 2: like an inch and a half to two inches like
- 32:26Speaker 2: you would with the figure eights. So it makes a
- 32:29Speaker 2: big difference.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, you know. And I've seen you pull
- 32:33Speaker 1: five hundred for twenty on an axle, and you know
- 32:37Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's just we all know I think
- 32:40Speaker 1: an axle is it's yeah, yeah.
- 32:42Speaker 2: Well the crazy thing is is the two thousand and
- 32:45Speaker 2: eight America's strongest man. I broke the world record in
- 32:51Speaker 2: the deadlift with a two inch axle and it was
- 32:55Speaker 2: for reps. I think we were doing like six hundred pounds. Yeah,
- 33:00Speaker 2: and I think I did seventeen or eighteen reps in
- 33:03Speaker 2: sixty seconds with no straps. Yeah, so you can mismatch
- 33:08Speaker 2: grip it. But when you it's on wheels, so it's
- 33:12Speaker 2: a little bit higher than normal. It's probably a thirteen
- 33:14Speaker 2: instead lift. But yeah, I managed to win that event
- 33:19Speaker 2: at the thing. But yeah, they two in chacks holes
- 33:22Speaker 2: hard to hold on to. Yeah, it is. Even with
- 33:25Speaker 2: the mismatch grip. There are a lot of guys that
- 33:28Speaker 2: in that show that could out deadlift me at that
- 33:31Speaker 2: time and might still beat him because they couldn't hold
- 33:35Speaker 2: onto the bar. Yeah.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Well, also, do you train your grip in a way
- 33:40Speaker 1: where I've never really seen anyone else train their grip,
- 33:42Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, because like if we've
- 33:44Speaker 1: had a few people over your house where you know, like, hey,
- 33:47Speaker 1: this is what Nick does for grip training, they're like
- 33:50Speaker 1: what you know? Yeah, but it worked for me, Yeah exactly.
- 33:57Speaker 2: It won't affect me picking up a blob that much.
- 33:59Speaker 2: It won't affect me doing stuff. But when you got
- 34:01Speaker 2: to hold onto a bar, it helps you hold onto
- 34:03Speaker 2: the bar pretty well. I mean most of my deadlifts
- 34:07Speaker 2: and powerlifting I did the mixed grip, but most of
- 34:10Speaker 2: it was on my fingertips. Yeah, I'm holding on to
- 34:13Speaker 2: it with my fingers and it's not in my hands
- 34:15Speaker 2: all the way.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what a lot of people are. You know,
- 34:18Speaker 1: even when you show them how you hook a bar,
- 34:21Speaker 1: they're just like, it doesn't doesn't click into the head
- 34:24Speaker 1: until you actually show them what you physically, you know.
- 34:27Speaker 2: I know, but it's kind of cool once you figure
- 34:30Speaker 2: it out. It's kind of a neat thing. And then
- 34:33Speaker 2: you see people start training their finger strength and then
- 34:35Speaker 2: all of a sudden they don't have a grip problem anymore. Exactly,
- 34:39Speaker 2: you got to train your finger strength, not just like squeezing.
- 34:43Speaker 1: This way, yeah, crushing, crushing, yeah.
- 34:46Speaker 2: Putting things here and training it. There is going to
- 34:49Speaker 2: be a big difference. Like holding deep dish one hundred
- 34:53Speaker 2: pound plates for time, that'll that'll get your fingers a
- 34:57Speaker 2: little stronger.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Just a tad just so you know. But like I said,
- 35:03Speaker 1: there's a lot of crazy stuff when it comes to
- 35:05Speaker 1: that too. And like you know, just like we were saying,
- 35:07Speaker 1: it's like some people just have those kind of hands
- 35:11Speaker 1: that you can just grip and pump pull your skin
- 35:14Speaker 1: off like it, you know what I'm saying.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I'd say the person that had the hands
- 35:20Speaker 2: that can just hold on to things would be Felix
- 35:24Speaker 2: Mark Phillis.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:26Speaker 2: Yeah, even his hands and it's like, oh, mine kind
- 35:34Speaker 2: of disappeared, you know what. I Yeah, it was pretty
- 35:40Speaker 2: It's kind of crazy. That guy's hands are just unbelievable
- 35:43Speaker 2: and his grip's really good too. So but yeah, and
- 35:48Speaker 2: I'm still not going to do the things he's done
- 35:49Speaker 2: unless you got a good grip too. But he's built
- 35:52Speaker 2: for it, so it's good. Yeah.
- 35:54Speaker 1: Some people just born with a good blessing and know
- 35:56Speaker 1: how to put it to work.
- 35:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. I mean, if you're blessed in a way,
- 36:02Speaker 2: you still have to put the work in. You still
- 36:04Speaker 2: have to do all this stuff. It's just when you're
- 36:09Speaker 2: that well, let's see here, when you're that well gifted
- 36:13Speaker 2: and you put the work in, it turns out pretty good.
- 36:18Speaker 1: In your favorite Oh yeah, well, what do they say, Uh,
- 36:22Speaker 1: hard work beats talent. But when talent works hard hard,
- 36:28Speaker 1: that's it.
- 36:29Speaker 2: Until the talent works hard. Yeah, hard work talent until
- 36:32Speaker 2: the talent works hard. So once the talent works hard,
- 36:35Speaker 2: then you know, then then you really get into the
- 36:39Speaker 2: mental game of things and start start finding ways to
- 36:44Speaker 2: to take a little point here and a little point
- 36:46Speaker 2: there and stuff like that. It takes a couple of
- 36:49Speaker 2: tip away. I mean, there's some guys I've seen that
- 36:51Speaker 2: were so talented, so talented Louis Louis Felipe is one
- 36:57Speaker 2: of those guys. Just one of the most talented guys
- 37:00Speaker 2: I've ever seen, And right towards the end, he ended
- 37:04Speaker 2: up getting in a snowmobile accident which kind of stopped
- 37:07Speaker 2: his career. Broke his hit pretty bad, like hitting handlebars.
- 37:12Speaker 2: He hit a wall that was hitting in a snow
- 37:14Speaker 2: bank and then came to a pretty quick stop and
- 37:17Speaker 2: it just went over the bars and just snapped. His
- 37:19Speaker 2: hip was never quite the same after that. But he
- 37:24Speaker 2: had started figuring it out like, oh, because he had
- 37:30Speaker 2: bad event, he would kind of dwell on it. And
- 37:33Speaker 2: so you gotta have a short memory. If you're competing
- 37:35Speaker 2: in the contest, you have one bad event, you gotta
- 37:38Speaker 2: have a short memory and make up every point you
- 37:40Speaker 2: can to the rest of the show. And he started
- 37:42Speaker 2: figuring out doing that at the end. And I remember
- 37:44Speaker 2: when he he won Warwicks Warwicks Contest up in Canada,
- 37:54Speaker 2: which at that time Warwick was It became the Arnold
- 37:57Speaker 2: I think then the next year the year after that Canada.
- 38:01Speaker 2: But it was far and away the heaviest show in Canada.
- 38:06Speaker 2: I mean, it wasn't even close, and there was a
- 38:08Speaker 2: lot of events. I think there's either ten or twelve
- 38:10Speaker 2: events in that thing. And Loui I was just like Louis,
- 38:14Speaker 2: you should just be running away with this. And because
- 38:16Speaker 2: he had like one bad event, remember just turning and
- 38:20Speaker 2: kind of leoning him a little bit. I'm like, and
- 38:23Speaker 2: he pulled his head out of his ass and he
- 38:25Speaker 2: ended up winning the competition. And if that guy ever
- 38:29Speaker 2: really realized how strong he was, he'd have been pressing
- 38:34Speaker 2: five hundred overhead no problem. Yeah, and just yeah, I
- 38:39Speaker 2: mean it just yeah, it's just nuts. The guy never
- 38:45Speaker 2: seen that much talent, never unbelievable.
- 38:49Speaker 1: You're right in the mix, so you can tell.
- 38:52Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you get to see her close, you're like, cow, yeah,
- 38:57Speaker 2: you know, it's yeah, it's pretty. And then you see
- 39:01Speaker 2: how he trains and see what he does and you're
- 39:02Speaker 2: just like, okay.
- 39:05Speaker 1: That's it. Well, uh, you know we're getting pretty close
- 39:11Speaker 1: to that mark. But it is New Year's Eve, and
- 39:16Speaker 1: you know we need to talk New Year's resolution. We
- 39:20Speaker 1: need to talk uh maybe just throw out goals to
- 39:26Speaker 1: help people start, you know what I'm saying, because there's
- 39:29Speaker 1: a lot of you know, you hear New Year knew me.
- 39:33Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose weight, you know, like I'm going to
- 39:38Speaker 1: do this and then you know, with a with ahead
- 39:40Speaker 1: of steam. But the you know what happens when you
- 39:42Speaker 1: go too fast, you burn out.
- 39:45Speaker 2: M m hm. Yes. So for like New Year's resolutions,
- 39:52Speaker 2: it just gets old because you know everybody does the
- 39:55Speaker 2: same thing. New Year is that? I mean you set
- 39:58Speaker 2: of goals for which one Yeah, New Year should be
- 40:01Speaker 2: a reflection time what you got right during the ear
- 40:04Speaker 2: and I start with what you got right. That's a
- 40:07Speaker 2: mistake that most people make. Start with what you got
- 40:10Speaker 2: right and how to replicate that. Start with that, and
- 40:15Speaker 2: then go through the things. Make a list of all
- 40:19Speaker 2: the things you got right, and then figure out how
- 40:21Speaker 2: to write how you're going to replicate that. Think about
- 40:24Speaker 2: the then think about a few things, not a lot,
- 40:27Speaker 2: but think about the biggest disappointments in that year and
- 40:32Speaker 2: what they were, and fix them. But make a decision.
- 40:39Speaker 2: It's not New Year, knew me. It's decision time. It's
- 40:43Speaker 2: it's it's it's time to make a decision. You're either
- 40:46Speaker 2: gonna go left or to go right, or you go straight,
- 40:49Speaker 2: but or backwards for that matter. But you're gonna go
- 40:53Speaker 2: in a direction, and you're gonna you're gonna aggressively fix
- 40:58Speaker 2: one to three things. That's it. Just fix one to
- 41:01Speaker 2: three things and that'll be pretty darn hard because if
- 41:05Speaker 2: you really go after it and you really do the
- 41:09Speaker 2: thing that's setting you back or holding you back or
- 41:11Speaker 2: keeping you back, those are usually things that are very
- 41:15Speaker 2: very hard to overcome. And so you only need one
- 41:19Speaker 2: or two. What you need to do is replicate, write
- 41:22Speaker 2: down everything you got right, and replicate that while changing
- 41:26Speaker 2: one or two making a decision on one or two
- 41:30Speaker 2: things that you were not satisfied with this year. If
- 41:33Speaker 2: you do that, you're going to have a better year.
- 41:36Speaker 2: And then have subtitles on the things and other areas
- 41:40Speaker 2: that if you have the ability to work on. But
- 41:44Speaker 2: the main thing is get one or two, get the
- 41:47Speaker 2: top one or two things that you didn't feel you
- 41:51Speaker 2: were able to accomplish in this year. So if you
- 41:54Speaker 2: wanted to lose fifty pounds and you didn't lose any
- 41:57Speaker 2: weight at all, start with a new diet this and that.
- 42:02Speaker 2: The goal is to lose something reasonable. It's the goal
- 42:07Speaker 2: is to lose five pounds a month. There you go,
- 42:10Speaker 2: that's it.
- 42:11Speaker 1: Nothing crazy, yeah exactly, and it's.
- 42:15Speaker 2: Not water weight. It's just I'm going to make a decision.
- 42:19Speaker 2: So then you're going to sit down and go through
- 42:21Speaker 2: how you eat what you can adjust from there and
- 42:27Speaker 2: how you can eat better with pretty much the same
- 42:31Speaker 2: lifestyle that you have. Now. When I said it's difficult
- 42:37Speaker 2: to do, it's difficult, but it's not impossible. So if
- 42:42Speaker 2: you know, if you need to lose five pounds a month,
- 42:45Speaker 2: that means we need to get it's thirty six hundred
- 42:49Speaker 2: calories per you know, pound of fat, so we have
- 42:52Speaker 2: to reduce that thirty six hundred calories. So we probably
- 42:58Speaker 2: need to reduce four thousand calories in a week. Yep.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Now that sounds like a lot, but to be honest
- 43:05Speaker 2: with you, it's really not. If you put cream in
- 43:08Speaker 2: your coffee, there's a lot of calories. Yeah, put creamers
- 43:12Speaker 2: in your coffees. There's some things your body has to process.
- 43:17Speaker 2: It's gonna slow things down a little bit.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Exactly how much sauce are you putting on your food?
- 43:22Speaker 2: Correct? I mean, yeah, exactly. Salad dressing is very high
- 43:27Speaker 2: in calories. Everybody's they're eating a salad thinking they're eating
- 43:32Speaker 2: something healthy, and then they put something on it that's
- 43:35Speaker 2: got more calories than.
- 43:36Speaker 1: Full of seed oil all the food that.
- 43:39Speaker 2: They're gonna eat with it. So, you know, I think
- 43:43Speaker 2: about these things. Find something else to put on there,
- 43:46Speaker 2: you know, a balsamic vinegar and small amounts with a
- 43:49Speaker 2: little bit of salt and pepper exactly. It's gonna taste
- 43:52Speaker 2: really good the on the salad, and you're gonna be
- 43:55Speaker 2: able to eat it. It's just different, and your body
- 43:57Speaker 2: will get used to it and you will eat that way.
- 43:59Speaker 2: But you'll still lose probably fifty to one hundred calories
- 44:04Speaker 2: a day just by changing something as simple as that.
- 44:07Speaker 2: And then so okay, well, if we're looking at four
- 44:11Speaker 2: thousand calories in a week divided by seven days, you know,
- 44:15Speaker 2: we're looking at what five hundred calories a day, yes,
- 44:19Speaker 2: six hundred calories a day ish. So that just got
- 44:23Speaker 2: rid of probably two hundred calories out of your day
- 44:26Speaker 2: right there, you know, getting away from the seed oils
- 44:29Speaker 2: and stuff like that. You know, eating a little bit
- 44:32Speaker 2: of avocado, eating a little bit of olive oil, you know,
- 44:36Speaker 2: with things and stuff like that, but still small amounts.
- 44:38Speaker 2: It's nine calories per gram on fat, So you need
- 44:42Speaker 2: some You need fat. You need fat, let me say
- 44:45Speaker 2: that again. You need fat for your hair, for your skin,
- 44:49Speaker 2: for your joint, brain, your brain. Yeah, and you need
- 44:52Speaker 2: some cholesterol for your brain because your brain's almost entirely cholesterol.
- 44:57Speaker 2: People don't really think about that. So you can have
- 45:02Speaker 2: way too high a cholesterol, but you can also have
- 45:04Speaker 2: way too low a cholesterol. So you got to find
- 45:07Speaker 2: that happy spot in there and adjust exactly, and it
- 45:13Speaker 2: makes a big difference. But little things like that and
- 45:16Speaker 2: taking like if you have a big dessert, so cut
- 45:20Speaker 2: that dessert size in half, don't get rid of it,
- 45:23Speaker 2: don't not have it, just whatever it was. Cut the
- 45:26Speaker 2: size in half. So if you had a piece of cheesecake,
- 45:32Speaker 2: have a piece of cheese. Have a piece of cheesecake. Yeah,
- 45:35Speaker 2: you know, just just eat a little bit less of it,
- 45:39Speaker 2: but eat all the good food that you were eating
- 45:41Speaker 2: in the same quantities, you know. And like if if
- 45:46Speaker 2: you're going into a restaurant and you have to order
- 45:48Speaker 2: from the restaurant, ask them not to you know, ask
- 45:53Speaker 2: them to prepare it a certain way. Tell me you
- 45:55Speaker 2: have a food allergy that works really good. I have
- 45:58Speaker 2: a food allergy. I'm allergy to this type of seed
- 46:01Speaker 2: oil or whatever you cook it, don't cook it in
- 46:03Speaker 2: the oil. Don't cook it.
- 46:04Speaker 1: And most restaurants do offer a healthy choice. We just
- 46:08Speaker 1: don't consciously think of ordering it because you're at a restaurant.
- 46:12Speaker 2: Right, or like if you if you're in the crunch
- 46:17Speaker 2: and you have to go to a fast food restaurant,
- 46:20Speaker 2: just order the hamburger patties. And the funny thing is
- 46:23Speaker 2: is order a small fry, just a small fry, not
- 46:27Speaker 2: a large fry, not a big huge fry, but just
- 46:29Speaker 2: order a small fry. They'll give you enough carbohydrates to
- 46:33Speaker 2: mix with the meat to where you're gonna function pretty good.
- 46:36Speaker 2: And there's a lot of salt in there. So it'll
- 46:39Speaker 2: do it.
- 46:39Speaker 1: Lettuce wrap, you know.
- 46:41Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you can do it lettuce wrap around the hamburgers.
- 46:44Speaker 2: Stuff like that as well. But like like one of
- 46:48Speaker 2: the ones I'll do, I'll go to In and Out
- 46:50Speaker 2: and I'll get six hamburger patties. I'll get the fry
- 46:53Speaker 2: because they don't have a size for fries. Yeah, and
- 46:56Speaker 2: then I'll get a nice tea. There's no calories in
- 46:59Speaker 2: the see there it is, you know, And that's what
- 47:04Speaker 2: I have is like if I'm gonna, oh god, I
- 47:06Speaker 2: don't have time to get something properly, I didn't have
- 47:09Speaker 2: time prepare or whatever. It's what you do, but make
- 47:12Speaker 2: a decision to pull about five to six hundred calories
- 47:17Speaker 2: out a day. That'll help you lose about five pounds
- 47:21Speaker 2: a month. And then just be a little bit more
- 47:24Speaker 2: active when you get done eating. Like Stan Efferdine's a
- 47:28Speaker 2: big proponent of this, when you get done eating, don't
- 47:32Speaker 2: sit down, go take a ten minute walk in a
- 47:34Speaker 2: brisk walk. Yeah, not like but a brisk to where
- 47:39Speaker 2: you're moving pretty quick. You can still hold a conversation
- 47:43Speaker 2: with somebody. But and it's just ten minutes. It's ten minutes.
- 47:46Speaker 2: That's a ten exactly, just spend ten minutes. So if
- 47:49Speaker 2: you got a half hour for lunch, eat and twenty
- 47:52Speaker 2: move for ten back to work, you're gonna you will
- 47:57Speaker 2: change things. And it's just simple things like that. And
- 48:01Speaker 2: it's not major adjustments to your life. It's not major
- 48:04Speaker 2: adjustments to anything. It's just functioning in the area that
- 48:08Speaker 2: you are and streamlining it to work better. That's it.
- 48:13Speaker 1: We're not talking about flipping your life. We're just talking
- 48:14Speaker 1: about a small tweak.
- 48:17Speaker 2: A lot of people can't change everything. And then a
- 48:22Speaker 2: year from now, change the way you eat a little
- 48:26Speaker 2: bit more, and then a year from after that change
- 48:28Speaker 2: a little bit year and five years you'll be eating
- 48:30Speaker 2: completely different to where your body will work for you
- 48:33Speaker 2: while you're eating. You'll have the whole process down. It's
- 48:37Speaker 2: the major changes that you do all at once that
- 48:40Speaker 2: people end up not being successful at because it doesn't
- 48:44Speaker 2: become a habit. It's not built in like going to
- 48:47Speaker 2: the gym. For me and a lot of the other people,
- 48:51Speaker 2: it's built in I'm going. There's no I'm not training,
- 48:55Speaker 2: and I build that time into everything that I do well.
- 48:59Speaker 2: It's it's not optional, it's going to happen. So it
- 49:04Speaker 2: takes a while to build that habit with anything that
- 49:07Speaker 2: you do, whether it's eating, lifting, or anything else. So
- 49:11Speaker 2: just alter your current status in ways that will make
- 49:17Speaker 2: you successful. Not scrap and restart over the whole thing,
- 49:21Speaker 2: because a very large majority of people can't scrap the
- 49:25Speaker 2: whole thing and start over. People can. It can be done,
- 49:29Speaker 2: but most people don't have the discipline to do that
- 49:32Speaker 2: because it's not a motivational thing. It's a discipline thing.
- 49:36Speaker 2: Try not to be motivated for the next year. Try
- 49:39Speaker 2: to make a decision and have the discipline to execute it.
- 49:42Speaker 2: Those are the two biggest things to make, the double
- 49:46Speaker 2: D decision, discipline. Put them together and you're going to
- 49:52Speaker 2: be super successful and have a very happy and prosperous
- 49:55Speaker 2: here so on, behalf of Bend and myself like to say,
- 50:00Speaker 2: happy New Year. I wish you happy and success in
- 50:03Speaker 2: the next year. And no matter what you go through,
- 50:06Speaker 2: keep a positive attitude when you're going through it, and
- 50:09Speaker 2: and try to stay as calm as you can going
- 50:12Speaker 2: through it, and you're gonna be a lot more successful
- 50:15Speaker 2: in the day. I wish you nothing but the best
- 50:17Speaker 2: for the next year and for me and Ben, thank
- 50:20Speaker 2: you so much for everything this year, and train hard,
