  Speaker 2: of the masses of KTU you do stuff with Z
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: now you're you know, with power on the admin side.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So what does that just.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Musically adding more work, just adding more work for my brand.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It's just I think it's something. First of all, it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: something I've already been doing for a long time, which
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: in the industry a lot of people know. So before
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: before this position, you know, around the right up to COVID,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I was already the music director for for Power on
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: five point one and I was on air there. Then
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I took an opportunity to go down to Florida, move
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: with the family, did the whole Florida thing for a year,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: was down there, shot to the amazing people in Florida,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: did a bunch of things out there. I've been very
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: blessed in my career to be able to have these
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: opportunities to expand the brand. And I think it all
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: goes back to it. And I always tell people, I've
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: never been scared, and I've never been scared to step
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: outside the box or your comfort zone like people say,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: right like, there's a lot of people who say, hey,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I'm doing great. So you know, there's been plenty times
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: in my career where I've gone to a point where
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I'm very successful at something and I could sit there
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: and just do that, right, But I've always wanted more.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: When I say I always wanted more doesn't necessarily mean like, oh, financially,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: like I want more money or more of this. I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: just wanted to learn more. I've always been a student
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: of the game, right I've been doing this is all
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I do, right, Like I've been doing music. I didn't
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: have the opportunity to go to college or anything like that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: And I don't say it in a bad way. I'm
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: just I was already on mainstream radio when I was
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: in high schoo so as soon as I came out,
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I was already up and running, like, this is what
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: I do, right, So music and this music career, in
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: this this industry, in this game I've been blessed enough
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: to be in for three decades essentially, right if I
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: do my math correct almost.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: You know, And.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: This is just what I do, so you know, being
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: able to grow in it has always been the goal,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: right Like, So you know, I started, as you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: a guy in the overnights coming in to do one
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: mix on at one in the morning in Florida, and
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: before that was on college radio, you know, in Florida.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: So it's like and then to make it to the number,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the number one market and be on the biggest hip
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: hop brand for the for the music that I love
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: right in the country, if not the world, with some
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: of the biggest shows. You know, you have the Breakfast
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Club Angie Martinez, you know DJ Cluties are all you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: not only just friends and family, but pioneers in this game,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: some of the biggest voices and people who also set
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: and pave the way for all of us. Right So
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: to be able to work with them and to be
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: in the same building, you know, throughout all these years,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: has just been a blessing in its own So to
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: be able to grow and to take on more responsibility,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: it has always been something that I haven't been scared
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: or I shy away from. It's not for everybody, right,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: So everyone can't do everything. That's just fine.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: You can't trust everyone, yeah, so, and and some people
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: are comfortable and that's fine. I've learned.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I've learned by trying to force others into doing some
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: things where I want them to grow more and realize
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: it's just not for them. And then you realize that
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: not everyone is willing to step away, step outside of
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: their comfort zone, or some people are are happy in
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: the place that they're at and that's fine.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Also, and that's fine some people are.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Absolutely That's why I said not everything is for everybody,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: and people say that, and it's actually true, right, you
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: can't expect everybody to want to do everything right, So
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: all you could really do is control your own, you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: choices that you make. And with this opportunity I have
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: is you know, it's just to grow and to do
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: more and to and to learn. And I'm going to
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: learn more things, uh in this position. And we've already
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: talked about some amazing things we're going to work on,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: and I'm just looking forward to to twenty twenty six
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: and what that brings mm hmm.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: So excited for you. But that and we've talked about
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: this several times over the two seasons of the podcast
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: of get out of your comfort zone, yes, right, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: push yourself and that's where true growth comes from.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: You know. And it's something that I teach to my
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: kids now, right, and even as young as they are,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: you know, my oldest now in our house being nine, right,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: and you know, they're all into sports, like academically, we
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: push them obviously to be their best. Like we we
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: we've always been on top of our kids, making sure
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: that they're ahead of the curve with learning, with reading,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: with this writing, and you know, making sure that they're
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: doing good in school because that comes first, right, But
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: right now they're they're really enough sports like where we're like,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: now me and my wife have become sports parents.

  Speaker 2: some time to absorb.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I think that's for you. How about us, right, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, and so how many sports?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: So so our oldest is playing right now, lacrosse, right,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: that's what he's in right now. Our male child is
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: playing lacrosse and hockey, so he's in those two sports.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: And our youngest in spring starts everything. So he'll be
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: turning five and so now he'll be getting into all
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the rec centers and doing flag football starting next year,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: and doing all these little things.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: So talk to me about that work life balance, because
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: as a dad and as a sports dad, you're doing
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: all of the things and beyond for the three of
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: them simultaneously.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And then my wife.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: You know, you have a presence on three stations and
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: you guys have a businesses and all of that. How
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: do you balance?
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Well, we just do.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: We take it as it comes, right. We cross those
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: bridges when we get in front of those bridges, right.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: So we try to plan ahead as much as possible.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: So like we have like my phone every single day
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: that you know, I get alerts about what that day is.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Because our kids, on top of that, are in you know,
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: they they're really signed up to everything. So they're in
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: after school programs, they're in this, they're in that, and
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: and you know, like our oldest son loves school, right,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: so he's in math like they picked him out of
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the whole athlete.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: He's like he represents like.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: The whole like our area in like you know, math
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: and this and that for in school, and like he
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: already knows what he wants. He's playing football now, but
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: he wants to be a heart surgeon like when he
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: gets older, Like he already has his lifeline like cause
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: you know. So, but for us is planning and just
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: taking care of it as it comes. Shots to my wife,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: she you know, she obviously carries most of the weight
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: when it comes to that if I'm not so me
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: taking on the new the new role obviously, you know
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: it's going to come with more hours and and and shifting,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: you know, things around. Obviously, I'm I'm in New York
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: already in the night time for my show on KTU,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: So there's gonna be now those nights are gonna turn
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: into earlier days as well, because there's gonna be meetings.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: There's gonna be a lot of work to do. But
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: it's something that you just take on and you make
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: it work. You always find a way to make it
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: work when the time comes, whether it's getting friends. We
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: live in a great area, so shout out to our
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: community who who everyone helps everyone also, So like so
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: many of our friends in our neighborhoods, you know their
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: kids also are into these sports.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: It's such a community.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: So most of our kids friends and our friends or
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: families da da da da, they're in sports. So there'll
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: be days where like a mom or dad will take
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: all the kids or I'll be the one to pick
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: the other kids up and back and forth, especially to
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: help each other because everyone has something.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Going on and that's the importance of community.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: And so when you actually start buying homes and looking
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: for where you want to live, and that didn't realized
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: that I got very lucky, uh with with with the
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: area we live in because we didn't have kids at
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: the time, so we weren't even thinking about that. Right.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So now we've grown into it and really got to
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: understand and.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: We're like, wow, we really love where we live because
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: of how community it is and how people really pull
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: together and help each other out in all these different aspects,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: whether it's just anything you know, and the support.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: A support system goes a long way. So as far
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: as the kids go, and there's you know, we make
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: it work.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: And stepping back to your original question of stepping outside
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: the box or feeling or getting in the getting out
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: your comfort zone, right, we're instilling that now with our
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: kids with sports, so like we'll make them work out
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: a lot and.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Trust so they're not bothering you in the gym.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: They're working out with you now, No, they yeah, they're
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: working out with us.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: But we're keeping our kids like really active and training
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: and pushing them and we teach them that like you know,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: getting uncomfortable like doing those things now at this age
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: is going to set them up down the line in
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: the future for just to excel and to be ahead
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: of the curve with everybody.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: So I love that. And that rolls into our health journey.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. Many have DMed asking how our health
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: journey's going.
• 18:19

• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I spoke about that in season one and we would
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: kid around because there was always cookies and sugar, and
• 18:30

• 19:45
  Speaker 1: was very taking shots. No, no, no, Nowadays, if you
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: lose weight, that's the you know, that's.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: The first thing. Did you get surgery a weight?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now it's one hundred. I don't care.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: If you're out there running ten miles a day and
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: and you're they will just be like whatever, you take a.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Shots you what is it called Ocempic.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Ocempic or GLP one or whatever the versions. No, none
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: of that old fashioned, uh is what I've been doing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: So no, it's I decided at the beginning of the year.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I've always fluctuated with my weight. Weight has always been
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: a struggle for me since grammar school, Like around fourth
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: grade is when I kind of inflated a little bit
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: and I really ate my feelings. You know, when you
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: grow up half Greek and half Hispanic. The result for
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: everything is food. If you're happy, eat, if you're sad, eat,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: And it was you know what were the like the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: ho hos and the Nutter butter bars like I just
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: loved all things. And I always fluctuated. And when I
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: was diagnosed and we spoke about this season one, I
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: was three hundred and eighteen pounds. I went down to
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty five within a matter of ten months.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: And it was a drop due to the medications, the treatment,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: all of that, But I did not see the change
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: in myself. When I looked in the mirror, I saw because.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: You look at yourself every day, you know, it always
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: takes somebody who hasn't seen you for a long period
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: of art to tell you correct. And then you know.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I got healthy, and when you get healthy, you gain
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: some And I got to a weight a couple of
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: years ago that I said, I don't want to be
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: here anymore. And I started organically. And then in January
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: you had mentioned to me when we sat down that
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: you were starting this health kick and you were like, no,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: this is my plan, this is what I'm going to do.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: You just need to hold yourself accountable. And I said,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: you know what, I think that's what I'm going to do.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: And I enrolled in a pilates class to try it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: And I was already doing like cardio and chords and
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: all these things, and I'm like, that's not really for me.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I need like structure, I need to build endurance. I
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: need to feel confident in that way. And I started pilates.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I did four classes to see if I liked it,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't think I do, but I'm
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: going to stick with it. And I did a paid membership.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: If there's anything that's going to keep you accountable, it's
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: your wallet.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're paying for something, When you're paying for something,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: So I invested into it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: So I did an unlimited plan and I do about
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: four classes a week. So I do physical therapy for
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: my back, but I'm still doing the pilates and doing
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the things and yeah, I've like fluctuated with weight where
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I've gone up and down and dips. As females, we
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: have our menstrual cycles and all these things, and our
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: bodies fluctuate. So I've lost more than twenty five if
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you count.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you do it slowly.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I've learned this. People lose weight fast will get it
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: back right. So the way we've been doing it is great.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: It's organic.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah it's slow, like you want to get to a
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: certain point fast, right, but that's not the way to
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: do it right. So like if you're starting at so
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: like for instance me, you know, and the day I
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: really like I already had started dieting, I want to say,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: or eating better, but I was up to like two
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: twenty seven or something like that. And so I can
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: only imagine when I wasn't even paying attention what weight
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: I was. But when I started actually paying attention because
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: I started eating a little better and trying to work
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: out a little bit, I noticed.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: That's when I was like, ah, two twenty seve imemtter.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I have a picture of it.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: And I recently hit like one ninety, and I'm just like,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm down, you know, over thirty pounds, you know,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'm going to keep going, you know.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: And you know, I'm up to a point where I
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily have a goal weight. I think it's just
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: feeling better, feeling lighter, and and my kids, I'll tell
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: you what.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: My kids have been a real motivation for me right
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: because of their.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Sports, because you have to practice with them and keep up.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: I'm very active, if you know me, Me and my
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: wife are very active with our kids. I'm outside with them,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: so like we're at the bus stop, like during football season,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: we're going thirty minutes before the bus every single day
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: because they want to throw the football. I'm running around
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: with them. And then now I got a little too
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: cold for that, so now we're in the car. But
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: you know, they come up from school. I've transformed what
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: used to be, you know, the man cave in the house.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Then it became the kid's cave, which is all toys
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: and stuff, and now that's transformed into a full on
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: like workout center, like our whole basement in our house.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: We're blessed enough to have a space where I put
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: in like the grass inside my house on the floor.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Like the turf that's crazy.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I put turf, like a thirty foot turf strip,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: and I have the weight now come in where they
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: have to slide the slide weight so they could push
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: for a just episode.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do it from the house.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm like online, well, because when you know, you
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: get so invested, you know, the kids. I'm living through
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: my kids now with these sports. First of all, I
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: never played any of the sports that obviously we knew.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I knew football and when I grew up those baseball, football, right, yeah,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: basketball here and there for me. Now they're playing hockey, lacrosse,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: all these kinds of sports that I never so I'm
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: learning with them, you know, and so cool it's been, yeah,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: and it's it's so competitive though, and it's like, but.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: You run, Yeah I used to be a runner. Yeah
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I don't run, but I used to job I do.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: You know. I walk little Zeus every morning mile and
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: a half, which is whether he wants to or not.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: But that's a mile. Let me tell you something.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: You know what that is though, you're doing a mile
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: or a mile and a half a day is amazing
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: and that has to do with your weight laws.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when I started, I was not doing a mile
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and a half. So the consistency. So even if today
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: you're like, I'm really tired, I'm just going to do
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: the ten minutes, don't do the full forty.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: It's funny because this whole episode now is turned into
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: the weight loss Journey episode.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I just looked at the Ti'm like, wow, the whole
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: episode's over just about really yeah, no, but it is.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's more of consistency, but it's also.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: That's anything, right if anything like consistency is key and
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: staying to it and practice. Like with the kids with sports,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: it's practice. Everything they do is practice, practice, practice, practice. Hey,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: if you're not starting right now, is cool. Maybe you'll
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: start later this year, Maybe just start next to night.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: You're going to get better. You're going to get better
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: at whatever you're trying to do as long as your
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: practice and you have to put the work in when
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: nobody's watching. Right.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: So, speaking of have you started meditating, I haven't. You know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Wendy's gonna.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna have to learn that. That's something I
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: think it's asking for me is going to be a
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: real tough one. I'm one of those people and my
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: oldest gets it from me. My mind is always racing.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I'm always thinking about things, always in my head, and
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: I feel that.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: If you do it, you don't have to do it
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: every day. But I feel that it will help you because.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I think you have to stop that voice in your head, right,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: like you have to, like the one it for you.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: To get it together.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Stop talking about yes.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, but I feel like it will help you because
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: you have so many things going on.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm okay, though I don't know if I
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: need to meditate. I'm sure some people need to. I
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: don't know if I have time for that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: I have to figure. I just got to keep going.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: You just gotta instead of stopping.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Got too much work to do leadership. I pro just
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: keep going, just keep going. Meditate later.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't. This really did turn into health?
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Why? Oh?
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, because I have a well I'm not going to
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: show because they're not a sponsor, but I have a
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: little Apple sauce pouch. I like my snacks.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: What do we eat?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Meal prep? I do meal prep? And I started doing
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: because you had said like replace with nothing.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I did that.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: So I did the Internet fasting intermediate fasting.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: It is called intermediate fast.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: So for me, and just to go back to the
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: very beginning, what really got me into this is I
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: did a and I kept seeing it. You know, it's
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: like anything on social media. When you look into something,
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: it just keeps coming up on your phone. Yeah, So
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: all these different things about intermediate fasting and fasting and
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: eating every other you know, X amount of hours, and
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: then this three day fast, the three day fast kept
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: coming up, coming up, and how it helps with this
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: you know, resell generation and all this kind of stuff
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: in your bi it's really not about losing weight more
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: than like fixing damaged cells in your system and all
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: this kind of stuff. If you guys really looked into
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: fasting and the benefits of it, it's insane. It's really insane. Yeah.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: See, there's intermediate fast, which those normal folk like myself
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: can do where you don't eat from six pm. I
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: do to ten am. So I'll do like a tea
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: in the morning something like that, and I'll have like
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: lunch and whatever. Then there's pros fast, my fast thing
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: that he only drinks no water for like five days.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, which I'll do that. So when I
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: first say no, when I first started this, whole health journey.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: I started with a three day water fast and I
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: did three days of just water. And it's really as
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: hard as it sounds.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: It's really not.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: It's really not that hard. And there's a couple of
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: things to it. There's so many different benefits to it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: The first thing was will you lose weight? Yes, right,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: but that's not like realistic weight right, Like you'll get
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: a little head start on losing weight because you didn't
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: eat for three days, right, So just water in your system,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: and you could have like black it has to be
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: straight black coffee, but it doesn't way to reach or
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: you could put like restart, like I remember how to
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: order like the salt, like a specific it has to
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: be a specific salt that you could put in your
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: water to keep you hydrated for like electrolytes. But you
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: can't put like a certain type of salt. And you
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: definite can't have any sugar stunt because that eliminates the
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: actual fasting of.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Your of your system.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: So just water and coffee.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: It's just water, realists and coffee.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: That's that's if you really need it, it's they they
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: for me, I did it right, I did black coffee,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: and because I could drink black coffee. And but after
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: you did it, after I did it, I realized by
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: the third day that I felt more energetic than before
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: and I felt great. Then you realize that you really
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: don't need to eat as much food as we've been
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: trained to eat, right, right, And I'm not going to
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: get into this, well that's breakfast breakfast. I'm not going
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: to get into this whole thing of I will say,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I think it's been pushed on us, right, and this
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: will be a whole notherto this will be a whole
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: other episode. Right, But when you really think about it,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: you know, when you realize that your body does not
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: need as much food as it's been to you, you know,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: That's all I can say, right, Like they want you
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: to eat breakfast and lunch and dinner and snacks in between. Right, yes,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: but you know, and maybe some people need it, and
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: maybe maybe some.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: People don't, you know, but oh our bodies are all.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Different, everyone's different here. But but anyway, that's what the
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: water fast. If you could do it, try it. So
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: One is the benefits of doing it for your Like,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: like I said, you'll initially lose a few pounds.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Also, there is a cell in your system. It fixes
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: and repairs cells like you and you could go further.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: These people do five day fasting and all that, and
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: it really gets into like resell generation. But the biggest
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: thing for me what it did is is mentally, it
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: let me know that I could go three days without
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: eating food. So if I could go three days without
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: eating food, when I don't eat because it's been a
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: few hours, I'm like, oh my god, I haven't eaten,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: it puts in a perspective like, let me take a seatback,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: let me really out to social media.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Is it seven days that we can go without eating?
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I think it is the human body. You just need
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: to I don't think if you I think if you
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: did some research, you'll see I forget what it is.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: I don't ask social media, Penelope.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: You guys could write in the comments.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Three to two months, No, just hydrating three weeks to
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: two months.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what how you go from three months
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: to two months?
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: No?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Three, That's all I was gonna say.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: There's actually people like we don't have the time on
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: this podcast, let's talk about it. There's really people that
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: have creed diseases that live longer, that have never you know,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: experienced any sort of medical issues because they either fast
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: or they cmated certain foods. From there, well, you'd be
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: surprised of the problems come from what of.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Much of what we consume have chemicals, and you'd be surprised.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Like when I was diagnosed, I went vegan straight for
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: five years because that's what was required, right with kidney
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: failure and all these things. And when I did that,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: at the beginning was very difficult. But then you're you
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: actually see the differences in your body. So the first
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: time I remember someone offered me, I think it was
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: like skittles and you know that has to dies and
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: all of that. I will stick to my stomach for
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: three days. Yeah, well, I mean so it's interesting when
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: you read things.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: Ye, the first time I ate after the three day fast,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: I ate anything. It like my body like didn't want
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: to accept it.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: It was bad.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: And your body will always tell you what it needs
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: to tell you. But if you don't allow you have
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: to almost do a cleanse. So if you could do
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: it fast, or if you could do anything that really
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: cleanses your system out, if you're out there listening and whatever,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: and it's for you and you want to do it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: I don't preach it on anybody, but everybody's different.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Also disclosure and disclaimer. We are not professional in the
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: health atmosphere. We're just talking about our specific journeys and
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: what we've done for.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, I'm not here to tell you what
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: to eat. People make your own decisions.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: No, And also pro does not tell us his fasting schedules.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: So the second time I don't fast, but I don't eat,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I st I really did help, like what you do.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I try not to eat like five or six o'clock.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: But the second time you were doing the water fasting,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: I was not aware. And it was when I came
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: back from Greece and I brought you a box of this.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: There are these Greek Christmas cookies.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Amazing. I want you fast.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fasting right now, but thanks, But I will
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: say follow some inspo accounts that help you stay accountable.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: There's a few for me. I want to give a
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: shout out to Larrois. She works with Billboard and she
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: has Baby Gains is her account and she has gone
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: through a tremendous weight loss journey and she puts the bad,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the good, the old things, and she posts daily on
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: what she does working out and all of that. So
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: she really inspired me to to kick off friend and
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: to continue and sitting next to pro, that's just depleting
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the pounds to the ground, but it's.

• 34:19
  Speaker 3: and it'll shock you because like, so if I go

  Speaker 3: to gym and pick up a thirty pounds or thirty
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: five pound weight, that much weight is what was on me,

  Speaker 2: I too, have made a science experiment with my eating
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: habits and seeing how that affects well because you learn
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: about yourself. Carbs are not my friend, and that's okay.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: Not for most ice.

  Speaker 3: We love them, and if you are going to have them,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: you have those needs to be what's you know in
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the day, and by carbs.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Fresh bread with butter, it's so good. It's so good,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: but so bad.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: The bread is one thing that's bad and the butter
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: is another. So you're putting two things that are were European.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's in our genetic formula.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I've lost weight, but it's been so boring. It's like
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: a hard boiled egg by itself. Things like that.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: You eat one hard boiled egg by itself, that's it nothing.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I don't just it it. Yeah, I air fry and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: that's it. I don't boil like harbowl like in water.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: That's really like okay, so you air fry one egg
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: and that's all you put on the plane and that's
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: what you eat.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Or like I'll do that with like half avocado.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's good healthy fats.
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: But back back then you would do it and add
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: like a little salt and pepper and the Yeah, I
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: don't do none of that. So, like I said, we'll
