- John Adams: you can tape your mouth shut It's supposed to increase sleep quality, sculpt and train your jawline while you sleep, boost and train nasal breathing and prevent snoring. my question for you, Crystal. Are you taping your mouth at night? Crystal Nevedale: I already snore and can hardly breathe. I definitely am not John Adams: And that's my reaction. Welcome back to another week of the Health Tech and Wellness Podcast. I'm John Adams. Crystal Nevedale: And I'm Crystal Nevidale. John Adams: And if you've been listening to this podcast the last few episodes, we've been pretty deep recently. So last episode at the end, I said, you know what, we're gonna talk some lighter topics for a couple episodes just to kind of still stay on the health kick, still talk about, you know, being mentally mindful and healthy, but maybe have some fun with it. So I found a list of some habits. are not really habits, but some trends that are going on in the health industry. and I just want to kind of jump in and discuss those. it's not going to be one of those episodes where we're getting deep, right? This is just going to have some fun. So we're not trying to teach you anything. I'm I just want to real quick do a quick PSA. We've said this before neither one of us have degrees. We're not doctors. We're not making any recommendations. We're not saying don't do any of these. We're just going to give some raw answers, right? I don't want to tell you whether you should or shouldn't try any of this stuff. It's all up to you. You can do the research on your own. We're just going to discuss them. Think of it this way: two friends talking about crazy habits that might we might think are actually pretty cool. Or we might go, yeah, that's a little out there. And at the end of the day, Crystal, you've talked about trying a bunch of new things. You know, every time you think things get stale, you try something. So maybe you'll hear one of these and go, you know what? I'm gonna try that. You never know, right? so are are you ready? Let's jump into this. Crystal Nevedale: gosh. I'm ready. John Adams: Okay. So let's start with one that you may have heard about. our listeners may have heard about. I never heard about this until I started doing the research, and it's called mouth taping. And basically what mouth taping really is. it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. You get this medical tape that you put over your mouth at night. Crystal Nevedale: Get out of here. John Adams: Let let me pull let let me pull the screen share up. Let's just Crystal Nevedale: At night John Adams: let's just pull at night. Let me pull this screen share up. Crystal Nevedale: Well who the hell is eating at night? John Adams: no, no, this is not for eating, this is for breathing. So for twenty nine ninety nine a month you can tape your mouth shut all you want. It's supposed to increase sleep quality, sculpt and train your jawline while you sleep, boost and train nasal breathing and prevent snoring. So, my question for you, Crystal. Are you taping your mouth at night? Crystal Nevedale: No way. I already snore and can hardly breathe. I definitely am not taping anything. I might wake up dead. John Adams: And that's my reaction. So it looks like there's this tiny itty bitty bitty slit where if your lips were just barely parted, that you might be able to get something out of. But no. Because here, first thing I'm thinking, I I tape my mouth. Crystal Nevedale: Mm. John Adams: The first thing I'm thinking is I can't open my mouth. Now panic sets in. I don't I don't Crystal Nevedale: Yeah. John Adams: have claustrophobia, but I think that would that would trigger claustrophobia. Crystal Nevedale: That might throw me right over the edge. John Adams: But now here's my question though. So they say it's also supposed to prevent snoring. So if Emily said, Crystal, would you try this? You snore really bad. I don't know if you I think we've talked about it. You might I can't remember. So so if so if Emily said, Crystal Nevedale: do snore. I absolutely do snore. John Adams: Crystal, you're killing me. You're snoring too loud. I found this mouth tape. I actually bought it. Are you putting it on? Crystal Nevedale: Absolutely not. She's gonna have to sleep on the couch. No way. Can't do it. John Adams: Telling you right now, I'm not putting it on. No, no, no, yeah, not at all. I think that's a quick no-no in both of our books. just because I I'm just trying to imagine. I guess I'm a mouth sleeper, but even if I'm yeah, Crystal Nevedale: I'm definitely a mouth breather. John Adams: even if I'm not though, I Crystal Nevedale: yeah. John Adams: it it would be it's just like telling somebody you can't, that's why Living 95 is great. We don't tell ourselves we can't have anything. We just say we gotta moderate, we gotta be balanced, we gotta this, right? The moment you Crystal Nevedale: Right. John Adams: tell yourself you can't do something, all you think about is that. So you put tape, yeah, Crystal Nevedale: Yeah, is doing it. John Adams: you put tape on my mouth, and I know I can't open my no, I'm I I would probably I would either rip it off and panic or I would die in my sleep. Crystal Nevedale: That round is about the brain. John Adams: Just it's just not gonna happen. so let's kind of move on to the very next one, Crystal. And this is one that I know you've heard of. you may have actually tried. I know I've never tried it. cold plunges. So for anybody that doesn't know what a cloak cold plunge is, and in this instance, they're not just talking about a random day cold plunge. In this instance, they're talking about you wake up at 5 a.m. before you take your shower, before you do anything, out of bed and into a forty five degree or less, depending on you, cold plunge tub. And I'll throw up a screen share for you. at Kohl's for ninety-nine ninety-nine, you can buy a sharper image portable ice bath cold plunge and do this every morning when you first wake up. And that is what they're talking about. It's not just okay, I worked out, I'm sore. This trend is it's 5 a.m. I just woke up. Before I get in the shower, before I do my work, before I do anything, I'm getting out of bed and I'm going right into a forty five degree or less ice plunge. Crystal. Ain't no one no. No. I'm I'm all for morning routines. I'm all for stuff like that. There's no way in hell. You wanna do it? Crystal Nevedale: I want to do it, but this is the only problem. This is the only reason I haven't done it. I had surgery. Well I had surgery and I have nerve damage. John Adams: Okay. Well for ninety nine bucks you can get it. yeah, you don't Crystal Nevedale: So I if I get cold, I'm not to be vulgar descriptive, but my upper body feels as if someone's cutting it off. So I had a really hard time with cold, but I still want to try it. Like when I was in Scotland, there were people out in the water, the water's freezing. There were people out in the water doing exactly that with their little caps on, just doing basically a plunge. And I I think it's really good for your health. Like the research that I've done, I've seen it like really does well. There's a lot of research behind it. And it's it's a mind thing. It's it's learning how to control your mind too. So there's a lot too. But yes, I would be willing to try it. I want to try it. Someone needs to invite me over and let me find an earth thing. John Adams: Well, if anybody listening knows Crystal personally and you've got one of those, let her know. but I'll tell you, so the the way they say is it it's only like a few minutes. Like you're not in it very long. but Crystal Nevedale: Yeah. Yeah, two minutes I think is the time usually. John Adams: the only thing that I do, and this is especially in the summertime, when I'm finishing a shower, before I leave the shower, I take the water from hot to cold because and It works. I it's supposed to be medically proven, but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt it works for me. Is it closes your pores. So during the summer, I don't know if you get this, but I especially when I was a lot bigger, I'd get it all the time. You get out of a hot shower and you're sweaty and you're sticky and you Crystal Nevedale: Yeah. John Adams: feel like you need to get right back in the shower. So during the summer, Crystal Nevedale: Right. John Adams: take your hot shower and then flip it right to cold. Not Not for three minutes, not for four minutes, but a few seconds, and your your your pores just go and you're not sweaty when you get out. So that I do. Cold plunge, though, I don't think I could do it. I I I like cool, but man, I hate winter so much. I hate getting out of the car to pump gas. We've talked about that. I don't know about getting in a cold plunge. But that two minutes even st Crystal Nevedale: Yeah, but it's for two minutes, John. It's two minutes. You're not saying it all day. John Adams: But even standing outside for two to three minutes pumping gas is miserable for me. I hate give me Arizona. I'll go to Arizona in 110 degrees and be a happy, happy man. Crystal Nevedale: Yeah, I mean no way. John Adams: Yeah, I so I don't know about the cold plunge. I would I would try it once. I'm not gonna poo-poo it. Crystal Nevedale: You should try it. We should all we should do that. We should do that one time on on camera. my John Adams: One time. my God. Crystal Nevedale: God, could you imagine how much stuff you'd have to bleep out? John Adams: it would be the scariest thing in the world, Crystal. I'm just being honest with you. I I don't know. We'll we'll we'll we'll check it out. We'll see. We might I can bleep away, trust me. okay. So Crystal Nevedale: You'll have to practice your bleeping skills first. John Adams: we might have to look into if somebody's got one of those, shoot it in the comments or reach out to one of us on social media. Let us know if you've got a cold plunge tub already. we might have to we might have to make an episode about that. see if we can do the entire episode in it. Crystal Nevedale: That'd be fine. I get it. John Adams: I don't think so, but Kevin Hart actually. I don't know if you've ever seen those. And if it if if anybody wat or listening or watching has not, you can look it up. Kevin Hart has does full interviews in a coal plunge. I d no. I mean they're in yeah, it's like Crystal Nevedale: I don't think I could do that. John Adams: thirty minute interviews and they're sitting in those things. It's insane. Yeah, Crystal Nevedale: No way, I would pass out. John Adams: no, it's it's yeah, no. Not for me. Okay. Let's move on to the next one. let's see. So the next one actually, Crystal, is one you said that you do, and I I wanna get a follow up to see if you're still doing it. And then I want you to take a guess. If I tried it and if I did, how long did I last? Grounding. Crystal Nevedale: Okay. John Adams: That made the list of crazy trends. I and you do it, so I'm not saying it's crazy. It was on the list of crazy trends. Grounding. So are you still doing it? Crystal Nevedale: Yeah. So I no, I don't like I do grounding normal outside now. I'm not doing that grounding pad business. I done tried it. It doesn't do jack for me, but maybe it works great for someone else. But I didn't notice a difference in my sleep because I had one for the bed and I had a a mat too. But I noticed no difference. John Adams: What about outside though? You were saying you were doing it outside. Crystal Nevedale: Yeah, yeah. Outside I take off my shoes whenever I can, put on the earth. Like that's yeah, that's normal for me. Anytime John Adams: So are you c Crystal Nevedale: I can be barefoot outside. John Adams: are you s considering that the grounding trend still or just being barefoot outside? Crystal Nevedale: I don't think it's really a trend. I think it's just something that people have done since ancient times, you know, and if you're in tune with your body and the earth and understanding the electrical part of it, you know that there are great benefits from it. And I think all the stuff that they're making to make it simulate it is not always I mean, they have their ha their heart in the right place. You know what I mean? I just don't know that it's really effective as standing outside on the actual earth. John Adams: Okay, so what do you think? Did I do it? Did I try it? Did I attempt it? I did. How Crystal Nevedale: No you didn't. You did? John Adams: long did I last? And this was Crystal Nevedale: What wait, what kind did you do? John Adams: so I went out in my backyard in my grass. I was not going on the concrete. I was not going in the sand. I was not going any further. I said, I'm gonna just because. I'm pre and and I'm gonna be honest, I didn't do it right after that episode that we talked about. Crystal Nevedale: Okay. John Adams: I'm putting this episode together and I said, I better go do it. How long did I Crystal Nevedale: Yeah. John Adams: last? Crystal Nevedale: I know that you had to have lasted more than a couple of minutes. John Adams: I was miserable. I don't like because Crystal Nevedale: WHAT?! John Adams: my feet, I just I don't I hate feet. I don't like my feet. And the whole time I'm thinking my feet are getting dirty, they're nasty, it's just what am I standing in? And yeah, no. I I didn't time it, but I would say less than two minutes. I don't like it. Crystal Nevedale: See, I I find it so like cleansing, I guess. I don't know how to explain it. Like when I feed her with the grass bleeds between my toes, like it's just something. I don't know. Maybe I'm just a weird fury. I don't know. John Adams: Yeah, I d I don't like it. Like, I mean I'll wear crocs, I'll wear flip flops. but barefoot, I just I don't like it. I I be I barely can stand it in my own house. I just I don't like it. I Crystal Nevedale: so we don't like barefoot ever, so that's different. Yeah. Okay. That's a little different. John Adams: I I just don't. Yeah, no. And and and they're they're very sensitive. I'm not gonna lie. Like I can feel every little thing under my feet. I hate it. Like I get a tiniest little sand kernel in my shoe, and it's driving me absolutely insane. I'm ripping my shoe off and shaking it out. Don't like it. Okay, so let's move on. Are we enjoying this yet? Crystal Nevedale: What else you got for me? John Adams: so this is one that I have never done. I don't know if you've ever done any of the like protein shakes or any that stuff. But I've done the protein shakes. Don't get me wrong. I've tried all that stuff. But this is something I'd never knew people were dumb enough to ever do. It's called dry scooping. So, of course, everybody would guess this one started kind of started in the gym world, right? And then social media turned it into a complete viral phenomenon. Like everybody, the these big muscular Gym guys basically saying, instead of mixing your pre-workout or your protein powder with water and shaking it up, just scoop it, throw it in the mouth, and just chase it with a little bit of water. And it gets into your system supposedly that much faster, and it's that much more beneficial. And da-da-da-da-da. I would choke. Crystal Nevedale: Same. Same. John Adams: I don't know I'm sure you've had an incident where you're you're baking or whatever and a little bit of like flour or whatever goes into the air and you inhaled it and you're I've done that. I would choke immediately. Crystal Nevedale: Right. Yeah, I'm not dry doing nothing. I can't do that. John Adams: As a as a dummy in my I don't know early twenties, that whole spoon not not a whole scoop, but a spoonful of cinnamon was that Crystal Nevedale: I don't even know that trend. John Adams: so it was it was before social media. This was just us as kids, we heard about it and we were dumb and doing it, and y y you about choked to death. You can't catch your breath because the cinnamon already Crystal Nevedale: Hello. John Adams: is taking your breath away, and then you've got the dry powder and your It would no. So I there's no way I could dry Crystal Nevedale: Amen. John Adams: scoop anything. Crystal Nevedale: Glad I missed that part of childhood. I John Adams: Ha ha ha. Crystal Nevedale: mean, John Adams: I was not Crystal Nevedale: I've done the whole health shake things. I enjoy taking a I most of the time when I do protein shakes. If I'm doing a protein shake, it's because I'm overeating usually, and I want to try to get my eating back in order again and like be more conscious of what I'm eating. So usually I do that. for like a week and then it helps me like realize it just makes you more conscious really is all that's happening for me. but it always helps curb my appetite a bit so that's what I use them for. And then when I was working out the gym, I don't work out at the gym anymore. When I used to work out at the gym all the time then I took them for health benefits of course for my you know muscles and all that. John Adams: Yeah, when I was first on the beginning of the journey, I was I was doing a lot, you know, mixing up and different trying different flavors and stuff because I wanted the extra protein without all the extra like fats and stuff that came with it. Crystal Nevedale: Right. John Adams: so yeah, I did a lot of protein shakes. I I think that they're beneficial for sure, as long as you're not getting sorry, as long as you're not getting a lot of that are loaded with sugars and stuff, you know, if you're getting, you know, quality stuff. Crystal Nevedale: Well I use a brand called Naked. Yeah, that's what I use. I I have tried that a couple of times and and sometimes I'll buy like a less expensive one and I'll mix half and half just so that it's not so expensive. and I'm getting, you know, both that John Adams: Yeah. Crystal Nevedale: way. But John Adams: Were you ever so I got on a kick for a little while of taking Two percent or skim milk instead of water. And mixing it that way. You never did that. It tasted Crystal Nevedale: Yeah, I never did that. Mm-hmm. John Adams: a little bit better for me to me, I don't know. But I I didn't do it all the time. Crystal Nevedale: I haven't I haven't drank milk in years. I can't John Adams: Really? Crystal Nevedale: even tell you how many years. And milk used to be like one of my favorite things to drink. But just the more I heard about it, the more I thought, I really just don't need that. And so I just I mean, I literally grew up on iced milk. Like we John Adams: Yeah. Crystal Nevedale: always had milk with ice in it. Did you guys do that? yeah. John Adams: Ice milk, cornbread, yeah. I can't tell you how many times as a kid and and I don't know why, I mean we weren't poor, we weren't rich either, but I mean that would be a snack. I would take cornbread, crumb it up, pour milk over it. Crystal Nevedale: Yep. My grandmother, that's how she always ate the cornbread, always. John Adams: Now was her now did she do hers with buttermilk or milk? Because see, I don't like buttermilk, so I did it with milk. My mom did it with buttermilk. Crystal Nevedale: I I honestly don't remember. I just remember her doing it in the big cast iron skillet. And it was real John Adams: Okay, yeah. Yeah. No, I meant I meant when you crumbled it up and poured it over it. Was she doing Okay, yeah. Yeah, no, my mom did buttermilk. That's just nasty. Yeah. but it's rot it's Crystal Nevedale: just regular milk. Yeah, just regular milk. Ugh. I couldn't do that. Did your mom make hers in a cast iron skillet? Yeah. John Adams: My mom fried everything. Big, big tub listen, I didn't get fat for no reason. She had a big tub of lard, which I don't know how we didn't burn the house down, because she had a big tub of lard in the back of the stove on the top between the back two burners, and she would every everything she cooked. I mean, was a a bunch of lard. And then, like, and when she was done, if it was grease left, she'd pour it into the lard. Let it gel up, and then cook another meal and Crystal Nevedale: my gosh. John Adams: listen t I don't know how I'm alive. Crystal Nevedale: Those are the days of was it was it Crisco? John Adams: Crisco, big tub of Crisco lard, yeah. Crystal Nevedale: So my family it was the bacon grease. John Adams: Which is still see, bacon grease and and lard is better than butter, for sure, you know. well if you're getting real butter, I guess it'd be okay, but it's still nasty. It's not good for us. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's gotta be real. Yeah. Crystal Nevedale: See, I love real butter. I won't eat any fake kind of butter or spread or anything. I try to if I'm gonna eat it, I'm gonna eat the real thing unless it's you know. John Adams: For sure. Okay. So moving on. The next one is And this one honestly, I kind of like your grounding. I don't know why this one's on there as one of the crazy fads. because there's a benefit behind it. We'll we'll discuss. I'll I'm going ahead of myself. But dry January. So we all know or well, if you don't know, let me explain. Dry January, you know, you've you've had your holidays, you went through Christmas, New Year, you probably got a little too had too much fun. And now you're gonna dry out for January. So you're gonna go 30 days without a drop of alcohol, and that's assuming you drink a lot of alcohol. Look, I haven't drank well, other than the concert that me and Cindy went to. And I don't know if you saw those pictures or not, but I was a little bit too yeah. I r I forgot that I hadn't drank in three years and eight beers. I was I was bad. It was it was a rough, rough day. Yeah. Crystal Nevedale: wow. I didn't know you hadn't drink for that long. John Adams: I had not. No, because I I had to I had to give it that was the one thing. Like everything else, I said moderation is okay. But that was the one Crystal Nevedale: Right. John Adams: thing that I kinda had to just kinda Listen, Jack Crystal Nevedale: Set it aside. John Adams: and Jim were my best friends. Me and Danny would Crystal Nevedale: yeah. John Adams: do laundry, we called it. We would go in the basement and we would drink Patron tequila black label. I mean, I I I had to. I was besides my weight and the diabetes, I was gonna kill my liver, you know. So I had to. Now I'm not saying I I won't. Yeah, I did. We went out to that concert and I had a blast. Now. I got home Crystal Nevedale: Right. John Adams: the next morning and looked at my Apple card and went, We spent three hundred and fifty dollars on beer. Now or fifteen dollars a beer, Crystal Nevedale: I mean like yeah. John Adams: but still. Crystal Nevedale: Yeah. I don't drink. And you know, I was I don't drink, and Emily doesn't drink. Not that I'm not that I would say I'm not ever going to drink. That's not who I am. I've never had a drinking problem. I've never really even liked drinking. John Adams: Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did. Crystal Nevedale: but I was saying this to her the other day. I'm like, you know how much money we save? Like we're looking over at another table, people drinking and eating, and I'm thinking We already spend 70 bucks to go out to dinner. I can't even imagine if we had a drink or two or three, we'd be broke as a joke. But there's no way. John Adams: Yeah. No, I that was me. I I I had to. So so I can understand the benefits of dry January, but here's my thought on it. And you can you can chime in, feel free anytime. But my thought is this why does it have to be January? And why does it have to only be a month? Look, I went three years and then I had a good time and I I didn't look back. I'm not I didn't go and buy me a bottle to put back in the bar. I didn't do any of that stuff. I we had a good time at a concert and I'm fine now, right? So my question is, why does it have to be dry January? Why can't it be dry December? Why can't it be dry you know what mean? That's my only thought. And and I'm being very nitpicky on this one because I don't even know why it's on the list. So I I had to find some reason. Crystal Nevedale: Yeah. I think that it would be smart for people of all drinking situations to take some dry time. I think that sometimes you can get swept away in anything that you do too much, you know? Whether it's food, drugs, alcohol, sex, whatever, all the things. Yeah. John Adams: Moderation, right? So give me one second. My I throw it so dry today. speaking of dry January, so yeah, so I I think that when I don't really know why it was on the list, you know, and at the end of the day, why dry January? and then the very last one here is another one where maybe it's just me because I enjoyed doing this and I st I'm probably gonna be doing one here real soon. Juice cleanses is on the list. And I mean, if anybody who doesn't know what a juice cleanse is, it's pretty much what it sounds like. you're drinking, you know, vegetables and fruits for a certain amount of days to cleanse your system. You're not putting any solid food into your system. It's kind of like fasting, but you're doing a liquid fast, right? You're not doing a water fast. You're just Crystal Nevedale: Right. John Adams: putting juices and you're doing naturals. You're not adding sugars, you're not getting You know, you're not adding, you know, processed orange juice to it. You're, you know, putting everything in the blender and Crystal Nevedale: Right. It's all my thing. John Adams: you're you're drinking the the pulp and the juice and everything of the fruit and the vegetable. And I honestly think that they're the most beneficial thing you can do. do I think you should do it for a week? No. But you know, a three day juice cleanse, I I loved them. And I think I'm getting ready to do one because I I with everything with her mouth and I told I Said I wouldn't go down any dark paths, but with everything with her mom and with just everything going on, I've fallen it's I need that's gonna have to be my kickstart. I think I'm gonna do a three day juice cleanse, get back on track and then go back. Crystal Nevedale: Well at least you know that you are have fallen off a little bit and you have things to straighten up. But I mean that's half the battle right there. It's just getting back on. John Adams: Exactly. Yeah. I think we the good thing with both of us in the part of our lives that we live in now is we've gotten to that point where we can our bodies kind of talk to us now and we know, right? And without even without Crystal Nevedale: yeah. John Adams: even getting on the scale, I can tell you like I feel I don't feel as good as I was, right? And and when Crystal Nevedale: Right. For sure. John Adams: you when you live clean and you do Great. And then you screw up for a month or two, your your body you start to realize, wow, okay, what happened? I don't feel like yeah, it doesn't Crystal Nevedale: This doesn't feel so good. John Adams: feel so good. so yeah, I think I'm about to do one. So what are your thoughts on I mean, we w I kind of Crystal Nevedale: So I've never done a juice cleanse. I mean I hear all the benefits, my son's really into that sort of thing. And I I think I might be too mean for that. Like I don't think that I would be I don't I I would have to lock myself in a padded room for the three days. Honestly. Like I need food. John Adams: Well, that was gonna be my next question for you because so for me, my my my length before I was ready, before I was just unbearable to live with was three days. so that's what I was gonna ask you. So if if you were gonna try it, what do you think that magic number before you're like, Emily, don't come near me until I have something? Yeah. Okay. Even Crystal Nevedale: Twenty four hours tops. Top. John Adams: even with the juice cleanse, you think? Crystal Nevedale: Yeah, I don't think I don't like a lot of vegetables, number John Adams: Okay. Crystal Nevedale: one. There's not much that I'm gonna like, so I'm gonna feel I'm gonna feel hungry. Like for me to be I feel like for me to be able to do a juice cleanse, like I would have to be on a different road. Like I'd have to be already like really structured again in my workouts and it it would have to be like a goal I was trying to meet. But just to throw a juice cleanse at me right now, you can forget it. I'm clocking out. Yeah. John Adams: It's a great starting point, I will tell you. For me, it was, and that's why I'm gonna do another one. because you can do the fasting, true fasting and stuff, but that's even worse, right? You now you're putting nothing into your body. And then when you do eat, if you don't come out of it right, your body is gonna really revolt at you and you're gonna be sick, right? So the juice cleanse is that Crystal Nevedale: Right. John Adams: happy medium where you are. fasting, but you're still putting nutrients into your body and you're you're doing the right size, you know, three meals breakfast, lunch, dinner, you're not doing snacks. It three juices in that day, and they're all fresh. you're not full, I'm not gonna lie, but you're kind of nourished and your body isn't in hunger mode. Your mind might be. that's why d by day three I was like, give me something solid. Give me a steak. Crystal Nevedale: I'd be willing to try it that, you know, just even per day or three hours. John Adams: Well, if you're gonna do it, you gotta do it at least a day. Three meals. but no, it they're really good. And don't go by like the first time I was gonna try it, I was like, okay, I'm gonna cheat. So I'm gonna go by, they had these little skinny ones, they're called, it's called skinny, I think, where they're they're pre made, but they've got extra stuff in them. They're got they're not they're not natural, right? So Crystal Nevedale: yeah. Right. John Adams: so yeah, I honestly don't know why that one's on there because I think it's very beneficial. And there's actually I I think I've got his card somewhere. There's a guy that was in my car one day and saw my little flyer and he goes, Hey, I have a juice bar if you're ever, you know, interested. So I might go there because they do it's all natural. but they actually do put some yogurts in theirs, which I'll have to look back and pull up my regimen. so okay, let's just wrap this one up, guys, for the week. Crystal Nevedale: All right. John Adams: I think we've had a little bit of fun and I I think that we were successful in keeping our promise, you know, of a lighter episode. And I think we touched on some health stuff and some beneficial things. we didn't have to unpack any childhood drama in this episode. unless you're holding something out. I mean, you know, you're not wearing the invisible backpack or anything, right? So Crystal Nevedale: Ha ha ha. John Adams: so other than that, you know, seriously, we we just want everybody to kind of take this in. You know, is there something in your life that maybe you've tried and you're like, man, you know what? That was kind of goofy, but I had some fun with it. Throw it in the comments. I would love to hear it. Or is there something we missed? Is there a you know, crazy trend that you heard that you were just like, no, there's no way that people are truly doing this. Throw it in the comments. Maybe me and Crystal try it. Like I said, you know, maybe we're gonna do this, you know, cold plunge thing. And we don't know. but at the end of the day, we hope that you guys got something out of a little fun episode. send us anything that you've got. And then, you know, next week, I kind of I I want to do one more little fun episode. And what I kind of want to talk about is something that I think almost everybody can relate to. Some of these you probably couldn't relate to. but I want to talk about the things that we go back to simply because they make us happy. We're gonna throw health out the window, we're gonna throw all the fun, like all the workout stuff, we're gonna throw all that out the window. These are the things that when life has just been kicking us in the butt. That we just go back to these are the things that we enjoy that are just mind-numbingly stupid, right? And I'm not gonna be talking about your hobby of building things because that's kind of a hobby, but you do it for a business. We're gonna be talking about just the hobbies that just you just do. You may even suck at it, but you just do it. So that's what we're gonna be talking about next week. so until then. Take care of yourselves. Don't up, don't overcomplicate anything, guys. Be balanced. Keep it simple. Yeah, Crystal Nevedale: Stay strong. John Adams: stay strong. And as always, stay healthy. Crystal Nevedale: Stay balanced. John Adams: And keep driving forward. We'll see you next time.
