Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey everybody, what's up? After Show Podcast coming in hot
- 0:03Speaker 1: on a... What's today? Tuesday? God, this morning on the air,
- 0:07Speaker 1: I was talking out of a segment into a song,
- 0:10Speaker 1: and I said, on this Wednesday. And then if you
- 0:12Speaker 1: listen closely, I go, on this Wednesday, I mean Tuesday.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Live radio, you gotta love it. Yeah, I don't know.
- 0:19Speaker 1: I got a good night's sleep last night too. Only
- 0:21Speaker 1: got two hours on Sunday, but I got... Ooh, hold on,
- 0:24Speaker 1: let me check my AmazeFit watch here. I got... I'm
- 0:29Speaker 1: going to guess seven hours. Okay, here we go. I
- 0:33Speaker 1: got six hours and 55 minutes of sleep last night.
- 0:37Speaker 1: I went to bed at 834 is when I fell asleep.
- 0:41Speaker 1: And I got up at 334, which is actually late
- 0:44Speaker 1: for me. I usually get up about 315. I had
- 0:46Speaker 1: an hour and a half of REM sleep. I had
- 0:49Speaker 1: an hour and 13 minutes of deep sleep. That's good
- 0:52Speaker 1: for me. Wow. And I had four hours and 12
- 0:56Speaker 1: minutes of light sleep. And I was awake for five minutes.
- 0:59Speaker 1: I wonder what that is, the tossing and turning. Anyway,
- 1:02Speaker 1: I track my sleep on this watch here, my Amazfit, which,
- 1:05Speaker 1: by the way, is like the best watch I've ever had. Well,
- 1:08Speaker 1: I've only ever had an Apple watch, so I can't
- 1:10Speaker 1: compare it to a Garmin or any of the other ones.
- 1:13Speaker 1: But this one is– it does everything other watches do.
- 1:16Speaker 1: The only difference is it has like Hyrox workouts and
- 1:19Speaker 1: Hyrox tracking in it. They're like the partners with Hyrox.
- 1:24Speaker 1: When you go there, they're one of the– they're the
- 1:26Speaker 1: official wearables. of all the high rocks events, which is,
- 1:29Speaker 1: you know, pretty cool. So yeah, I, I wear this
- 1:33Speaker 1: all the time. It has a very good battery life.
- 1:35Speaker 1: This isn't a commercial for the watch, by the way.
- 1:37Speaker 1: I'm just, you know, I'm just, I, I wear it.
- 1:39Speaker 1: It's a big part of what I do. I wear
- 1:42Speaker 1: it all day long. The battery life is incredible. It
- 1:45Speaker 1: lasts up to, I'd say two to three weeks. It
- 1:47Speaker 1: says three weeks, but I found like two weeks. So
- 1:51Speaker 1: on a full charge, it will last at least two weeks.
- 1:54Speaker 1: which is really cool. I haven't charged it in probably
- 1:56Speaker 1: close to two weeks, and it's at 19%. So the
- 1:59Speaker 1: battery life is really good. It tracks my sleep. It
- 2:02Speaker 1: tracks all my workouts, and it has this hybrid charge thing.
- 2:05Speaker 1: So if you're an athlete or if you work out,
- 2:09Speaker 1: you can enter all of your workouts, everything you do,
- 2:12Speaker 1: even just walking. If you go for a walk somewhere,
- 2:14Speaker 1: you put it in there, and it kind of puts
- 2:17Speaker 1: that in your sleep, in your heart rate, your HRV,
- 2:21Speaker 1: all that stuff. and gives you a score, a hybrid
- 2:24Speaker 1: charge score to tell you how ready you are for
- 2:26Speaker 1: your next workout. I don't listen to that hybrid charge
- 2:29Speaker 1: score because I have a set schedule. So regardless, unless
- 2:32Speaker 1: I have a really, really hard day, I'm going to
- 2:34Speaker 1: go to the gym. Like today, I have a class
- 2:36Speaker 1: at noon. I'm going to go to, what's my hybrid
- 2:39Speaker 1: charge score? You didn't ask, but I'm going to tell you.
- 2:42Speaker 1: It's 47, which is, it's kind of mid-range, so that's
- 2:46Speaker 1: not terrible. But I took yesterday off because I work
- 2:50Speaker 1: out Saturday and Sunday, and then I always typically take
- 2:53Speaker 1: Mondays off as well. So that's what's going on with me.
- 2:55Speaker 1: But yeah, AmazeFit, I have the Balance 3. They make
- 2:58Speaker 1: a bunch of different ones. If you just want it
- 3:00Speaker 1: for sleep, they have the, I think it's called the
- 3:02Speaker 1: Helio or Helo, which is just, it doesn't have a screen.
- 3:05Speaker 1: It's just a watch that you wear to bed, and
- 3:07Speaker 1: it will track your sleep and let you know. And
- 3:10Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you, tracking my sleep,
- 3:12Speaker 1: it can be, you know, make me anxious, but it
- 3:16Speaker 1: also helps me because it helps me go to sleep earlier.
- 3:18Speaker 1: because I want to get a good sleep score, and
- 3:20Speaker 1: I can see how long I sleep. So the goal
- 3:23Speaker 1: is seven hours. That's the goal on weekdays. On the weekends,
- 3:28Speaker 1: I still get about seven, sometimes eight hours. But on
- 3:31Speaker 1: the weekdays, the goal is seven, and I fall short
- 3:34Speaker 1: nine times out of ten. It's very rare that I'm
- 3:36Speaker 1: able to fall asleep by 8, 8.15 to get up
- 3:39Speaker 1: at 3.15. It's typically six and a half to seven hours,
- 3:43Speaker 1: and sometimes even worse. I mean, Sunday night was only
- 3:45Speaker 1: two hours, so that was not good. But I really
- 3:48Speaker 1: like it. So check it out. It's the Balance 3
- 3:50Speaker 1: by Amazfit. All right. What's going on here? Hey, Justin.
- 3:54Speaker 1: I just saw this tremendous yard here in Venice, Florida
- 3:59Speaker 1: with all kinds of Halloween things. And I'd love to
- 4:02Speaker 1: be able to send you the picture, but I don't
- 4:05Speaker 1: know how. I'll listen to see if you can let
- 4:08Speaker 1: me know. Thanks. Bye. Well, you can send it to
- 4:11Speaker 1: me on Instagram. That's probably the best way. If you
- 4:14Speaker 1: send me a DM. Just if you do. It's at justabeezy.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Send me a message to check my request folder and
- 4:22Speaker 1: all that because it won't just pop up if I
- 4:24Speaker 1: don't follow you. So I don't usually check that folder.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Sometimes I do if I'm told to, but that's where
- 4:30Speaker 1: all the crap goes. A lot of crap on social media. Yeah,
- 4:36Speaker 1: I don't know. I blocked this girl yesterday. She's probably
- 4:38Speaker 1: listening to this right now, and she's not going to
- 4:41Speaker 1: be able to respond. She can respond on the talkbacks
- 4:43Speaker 1: just between her and I. But yeah, she was upset
- 4:46Speaker 1: about Maura Healy being on. There were some people that
- 4:50Speaker 1: were upset about that. It's weird though. It's like both sides.
- 4:55Speaker 1: There were people that were happy and sent like talkbacks
- 4:57Speaker 1: in and they were like, this is so great. They're
- 4:59Speaker 1: like Democrats and they're happy about the governor. And then
- 5:01Speaker 1: there were the people that were not happy about it
- 5:03Speaker 1: because it's re-election right now. The election is coming up
- 5:06Speaker 1: and they're Republican anti-governor. And I've explained this before. And
- 5:12Speaker 1: it's funny too because when this girl was coming at me,
- 5:14Speaker 1: I wrote this whole thing and then I unsent it.
- 5:18Speaker 1: I just blocked her because I'm like, what am I
- 5:19Speaker 1: doing right now? What am I doing? Why am I
- 5:21Speaker 1: responding to this? I made a joke about it at
- 5:23Speaker 1: first because it was like, why would you ever have
- 5:26Speaker 1: the governor on? And then I said, well, I live
- 5:29Speaker 1: in New Hampshire, which is true. I was born and
- 5:30Speaker 1: raised here, but I live in New Hampshire now, so
- 5:32Speaker 1: I can't even vote here. And I think I even said,
- 5:35Speaker 1: I live in New Hampshire, baby. Not baby as in
- 5:38Speaker 1: you're a baby, but just whatever. I was just trying
- 5:40Speaker 1: to make light of the situation because I fucking don't care.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I don't care. Like I've explained it before. Like this
- 5:46Speaker 1: is this is the mass poor thing. We partnered with them.
- 5:49Speaker 1: This is an this is a huge, huge deal. I mean,
- 5:51Speaker 1: think about this story. Right. There's a lot has gone
- 5:54Speaker 1: into this contest. And then, you know, the day comes
- 5:57Speaker 1: and the governor who's the current governor of Massachusetts right now. OK,
- 6:02Speaker 1: so then they say, oh, by the way, we're bringing
- 6:04Speaker 1: the governor in because she wants to be a part
- 6:06Speaker 1: of this. OK, why she wants to be a part
- 6:07Speaker 1: of it. Not our problem, but she's coming in. What
- 6:09Speaker 1: are we supposed to say? No. No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 6:13Speaker 1: We got to have Mike Minogue in too because we're
- 6:15Speaker 1: going to make this a fucking political show. No, she
- 6:18Speaker 1: wanted to come in and be part of the announcement.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Did she have ulterior motives? Probably. It's a huge contest.
- 6:24Speaker 1: A lot of people were listening. Probably a lot of
- 6:27Speaker 1: people were tuned in on this, so it was an opportunity.
- 6:29Speaker 1: But you know what? You play the game, right? I'm
- 6:31Speaker 1: sure the other side does it too. Everyone does it.
- 6:33Speaker 1: You play the game. So, yeah, it wasn't like we
- 6:37Speaker 1: called up the governor. And said, hey, you want to come?
- 6:39Speaker 1: It's not how it works, man. So, you know, I
- 6:44Speaker 1: just don't like being accused of things. Like you don't
- 6:49Speaker 1: know me. Like you know me as a personality here.
- 6:51Speaker 1: I open up a lot of myself. I feel like
- 6:53Speaker 1: you do know me. A lot of you do in
- 6:56Speaker 1: a sense. But, you know, don't come like accusing me
- 6:59Speaker 1: of stuff, you know. So even when I responded back,
- 7:01Speaker 1: then she like pushes it further. She's going off a bolt.
- 7:05Speaker 1: illegal immigrants and rapists and how she allowed a rapist
- 7:10Speaker 1: to rape a 13-year-old girl, which if you know me,
- 7:13Speaker 1: you know that is number one for me. Okay? Number one.
- 7:16Speaker 1: All right? You know, and then she ended with something like, oh,
- 7:21Speaker 1: I thought you cared about that stuff. Oh, I guess
- 7:23Speaker 1: you don't care about that. You don't care about girls
- 7:26Speaker 1: being raped. What? What are we talking about right now? Oh, man,
- 7:31Speaker 1: you think it's easy? So block that. There you go.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I'm sorry. So if you're listening to this, I do apologize.
- 7:36Speaker 1: But I don't get time for that. The best part
- 7:38Speaker 1: is that person doesn't even live here. That's the other part.
- 7:42Speaker 1: They don't even live here. They can't even vote for
- 7:45Speaker 1: the governor. They're on the other side of the country,
- 7:48Speaker 1: and they're angry, angry about the governor's race. You don't
- 7:51Speaker 1: even fucking live here. Oh, man. God, and I like
- 7:56Speaker 1: this person too. She's cool. Like we share a lot
- 7:58Speaker 1: of the same beliefs when it comes to, like, medicine
- 8:01Speaker 1: and you know longevity things like that that I'm into
- 8:05Speaker 1: because I'm that's what my passion is like I like
- 8:08Speaker 1: health and all that stuff and she's into that so
- 8:10Speaker 1: it's just you know don't come at me like that
- 8:12Speaker 1: especially on a day okay and I think I talked
- 8:15Speaker 1: about this yesterday getting through yesterday was a weight that
- 8:21Speaker 1: was lifted off of my chest it was very stressful
- 8:25Speaker 1: it We got it done. We nailed it, okay? Nailed it.
- 8:30Speaker 1: So I was riding a high all day. That's really
- 8:32Speaker 1: the part that really got me. I was so happy
- 8:34Speaker 1: all day. I went home. I told my wife. We
- 8:36Speaker 1: were hanging out. We had a conversation. The kids weren't there.
- 8:39Speaker 1: They were in school. We spent some time together, and
- 8:42Speaker 1: she was talking about her job, and I was talking
- 8:45Speaker 1: about my job, and I'm like, you don't even understand.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Just to get this done in the happiness of everybody,
- 8:51Speaker 1: how good it sounded, my boss, Massport, Everyone, Governor Healy, block, block, block.
- 9:00Speaker 1: Everybody was super, super happy. And I was proud to
- 9:04Speaker 1: have a part in that, to help put it together
- 9:07Speaker 1: and kind of orchestrate it and make things happen and
- 9:10Speaker 1: really get it done. So I was riding high all day.
- 9:15Speaker 1: She also got me right before I went in the
- 9:17Speaker 1: ice bath too. That was the other thing is I
- 9:19Speaker 1: was like literally getting ready to go into the sauna
- 9:21Speaker 1: and the ice bath, which is my peaceful time every night.
- 9:24Speaker 1: After we eat dinner and the kids eat and the
- 9:27Speaker 1: kids take showers and everyone's chilled out getting ready for bed,
- 9:30Speaker 1: I go downstairs. I go in the sauna, ice bath,
- 9:32Speaker 1: hot tub, whatever. My weirdness, again, longevity and health. So
- 9:39Speaker 1: that was a bad time. So that's that. What else?
- 9:43Speaker 1: What else? What else? Yeah, so the mass sport, the
- 9:46Speaker 1: voting begins on Saturday. I should mention that. So if
- 9:48Speaker 1: you haven't met the finalists or heard the finalists, you
- 9:50Speaker 1: can go to voiceoflogan.com. I think they're going to be
- 9:53Speaker 1: up tomorrow or this week, maybe even today. All their
- 9:57Speaker 1: auditions will be up there, and then you can vote.
- 9:59Speaker 1: It's only a four-day voting window, so it starts on
- 10:03Speaker 1: Saturday the 24th, goes till the 28th, and then November 5th,
- 10:08Speaker 1: I believe, they're all coming back. I don't know if
- 10:11Speaker 1: the governor's coming back, but Massport is going to come,
- 10:15Speaker 1: and they're going to crown the winner based on votes,
- 10:17Speaker 1: based on On the public's votes, there will be a
- 10:22Speaker 1: voice of Logan. So it's just a really, really cool contest.
- 10:25Speaker 1: So that's going on. What else? Oh, local legends. Billy
- 10:29Speaker 1: and Lisa went out to surprise a local legend. They
- 10:31Speaker 1: did that right after the show today. They're on their
- 10:33Speaker 1: way there. So that's cool. You can nominate somebody. Kiss108. com
- 10:38Speaker 1: slash legend. And you can go there and pick somebody
- 10:42Speaker 1: in your life, in your community that's doing amazing things.
- 10:45Speaker 1: You want to get them some recognition. Get them some
- 10:48Speaker 1: sold-out Jingle Ball tickets and passes to the pre-party at
- 10:51Speaker 1: Big Night Live. Go there. Nominate them. Let them know.
- 10:55Speaker 1: You never know. Billy and Lisa might show up. They
- 10:57Speaker 1: might show up. Or maybe we'll bring them into the
- 10:59Speaker 1: studio too. We kind of have the option there. So
- 11:02Speaker 1: Local Legends is going on. And, yeah, it looks like
- 11:05Speaker 1: a beautiful day out today. I'm going to go to
- 11:07Speaker 1: my class at noon, my workout class. It is a
- 11:10Speaker 1: shred class, which means it's heated fitness. So it's a
- 11:14Speaker 1: heated room with bikes. And it's not, so they have
- 11:17Speaker 1: two heated rooms at my gym at drive. So they
- 11:19Speaker 1: have a phase room. They actually have three heated rooms
- 11:22Speaker 1: cause they have a yoga room too. But the, the
- 11:24Speaker 1: two cycle rooms, one is called phase and it's just cycling, right? Heated.
- 11:28Speaker 1: And then they have shred, which is cycling with weights.
- 11:31Speaker 1: So it'll be like shred core, which is today. So
- 11:34Speaker 1: shred nabs or shred and, um, shoulders or shredding, sorry,
- 11:39Speaker 1: shredding arms or shredding legs, shredding back. So it's really
- 11:44Speaker 1: cool cause you do back and forth. And, you know,
- 11:46Speaker 1: I'm really into the hybrid fitness. You know, that's why
- 11:48Speaker 1: I love High Rocks. It's kind of both. It's cardio
- 11:51Speaker 1: mixed with weights, which is really against everything that I
- 11:54Speaker 1: was ever taught about working out because I did more
- 11:57Speaker 1: of a bodybuilding. You know, you never, ever, ever rule.
- 12:00Speaker 1: I mean, that was like rule number one, right? Is
- 12:01Speaker 1: you never do cardio with weights or before weights. Never, never, never,
- 12:07Speaker 1: because it makes sense, right? If you're trying to grow muscle,
- 12:10Speaker 1: which is the idea of bodybuilding, you want to have
- 12:12Speaker 1: as much energy as possible. You don't want to waste
- 12:14Speaker 1: your energy on cardio. So you always do the cardio
- 12:17Speaker 1: either separate completely from the weightlifting or you do the
- 12:20Speaker 1: cardio after. So what a lot of bodybuilders do is
- 12:23Speaker 1: they get up in the morning and they do fasted cardio.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Before they eat, they'll do 30 minutes or an hour
- 12:30Speaker 1: of cardio and then they start eating their meals and
- 12:32Speaker 1: then they hit weights later on in the day when
- 12:34Speaker 1: they have more food in them. That's usually how it works.
- 12:37Speaker 1: But with hybrid fitness, you're doing both because the goal
- 12:40Speaker 1: isn't to really build muscle. The goal is to build
- 12:45Speaker 1: your cardiovascular health. And I think you also build muscle
- 12:49Speaker 1: as well. So I just like the idea of it
- 12:52Speaker 1: because I want to live longer. I want to live long.
- 12:55Speaker 1: And not just that, I want to live a good life, right?
- 13:00Speaker 1: And I really think that your fitness is a big
- 13:04Speaker 1: factor when it comes to living long. And plus I
- 13:08Speaker 1: like it. I like the high from it. I like
- 13:10Speaker 1: the push. And really, I was just getting injured weightlifting.
- 13:14Speaker 1: You know, I stopped lifting heavy because everything hurts. My
- 13:18Speaker 1: shoulders banged up. My knees banged up. It just sucked.
- 13:21Speaker 1: You get to a point where, you know, you go
- 13:22Speaker 1: to the gym because it's a habit. It's something that
- 13:24Speaker 1: you do. It's a part of your life. Like, I
- 13:26Speaker 1: don't even have to think about it. I never have, never,
- 13:29Speaker 1: very rarely do I ever have the thought, oh, I
- 13:31Speaker 1: want to skip today. It's like you just go. It's
- 13:33Speaker 1: just a part of my life. It's like when I
- 13:34Speaker 1: do the ice bath at night, I just do it.
- 13:36Speaker 1: I just do it. So it got to a point
- 13:38Speaker 1: where I would go to the gym out of habit.
- 13:40Speaker 1: And I'd be in there like, man, this doesn't feel good.
- 13:43Speaker 1: And it stopped giving me what I originally had gone for.
- 13:48Speaker 1: So shout out to my boy Adam, man. My boy
- 13:50Speaker 1: Adam invited me to come to a drive. I would
- 13:52Speaker 1: never go to a gym like that because my ego
- 13:55Speaker 1: would tell me that that's a girl's gym. I don't
- 13:57Speaker 1: do classes. I don't do spin cycle, although I did
- 14:01Speaker 1: have a Peloton, which I loved. I don't do those
- 14:03Speaker 1: classes like that. And he kind of talked me into it,
- 14:06Speaker 1: and I went, and I fell in love. And now
- 14:08Speaker 1: I'm into, well, cycling. I'll be doing cycling today at
- 14:12Speaker 1: noon in a heated room. Oh, God, you sweat so much.
- 14:15Speaker 1: You feel so good. It's really good. It's a really
- 14:19Speaker 1: good time. So, yeah, that's why, again, my watch. My
- 14:23Speaker 1: watch is really good for the hybrid fitness. And that's
- 14:26Speaker 1: just where I'm at today. You know, the High Rocks
- 14:29Speaker 1: thing could go away. I'm trying to convince Zeb to
- 14:32Speaker 1: do it with me or to do– sorry. I have
- 14:34Speaker 1: my partner. But I'm trying to get them to do
- 14:36Speaker 1: it because at High Rocks, you can do it solo
- 14:39Speaker 1: by yourself. You can do doubles. That's you and somebody else,
- 14:42Speaker 1: whether that's a man or a woman. It's men's doubles,
- 14:46Speaker 1: women's doubles. Then they have mixed. You can do a
- 14:47Speaker 1: man and a woman. Then they have the relay, which
- 14:50Speaker 1: is four people. So you split the entire race. So
- 14:53Speaker 1: each person does two runs in two stations. So it's
- 14:57Speaker 1: much easier. So I was thinking next October, I was
- 15:00Speaker 1: telling Zeb this. I go, dude, if you start getting
- 15:03Speaker 1: into this, next year, next, next October, because it's a
- 15:07Speaker 1: four day thing. Um, obviously I'm gonna do the doubles
- 15:09Speaker 1: with my boy, Mike, that, you know, we did it last,
- 15:12Speaker 1: last weekend, but we'll do a relay race too on
- 15:14Speaker 1: a different day. Cause that's much less work, right? It's only,
- 15:18Speaker 1: you know, a fourth of the work. So I'm trying
- 15:20Speaker 1: to get Zeb to do that. That would be cool.
- 15:23Speaker 1: That would be cool. But he, he is showing interest.
- 15:26Speaker 1: He said, I would like to, uh, to try it
- 15:28Speaker 1: because he's in the same boat as me. Zeb has
- 15:30Speaker 1: a lot of injuries, you know, his shoulders messed up. He's,
- 15:34Speaker 1: Been lifting for a long time. He's a big dude.
- 15:36Speaker 1: He can lift a lot of weight. And it just
- 15:38Speaker 1: sucks that you can only go so far. You don't
- 15:42Speaker 1: want to be 50 years old, 60 years old, and
- 15:45Speaker 1: have all this muscle and be big but be good
- 15:47Speaker 1: for nothing. Like not be able to move, not be
- 15:50Speaker 1: able to get on the ground and play with your kids.
- 15:52Speaker 1: Last night I was playing with my daughter, playing Barbies.
- 15:55Speaker 1: And she's like, Dad, you want to play with me?
- 15:57Speaker 1: She's on the ground. I just get right down on
- 15:58Speaker 1: the ground. I want to be able to do that. Long-term,
- 16:02Speaker 1: my father is 74 years old. He just turned 74,
- 16:06Speaker 1: and he's pretty agile, I must say. And he's been
- 16:09Speaker 1: working out his whole life. He's been going to the
- 16:12Speaker 1: YMCA his whole life. He walks every single day. And
- 16:15Speaker 1: so he's on the floor with my daughter, his granddaughter. Also,
- 16:20Speaker 1: he goes down my slide. I have a slide in
- 16:22Speaker 1: my pool. It's pretty tall. And he goes, he loves it.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Think about how many 74-year-olds are going down a slide.
- 16:30Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, Billy could, Billy's very agile too. Definitely,
- 16:33Speaker 1: definitely agile. Like I told my friend recently how old
- 16:36Speaker 1: Billy was. He couldn't believe it. My friend, Adam, who
- 16:39Speaker 1: went to go, who met Billy, I brought him on
- 16:41Speaker 1: the boat. I told him afterwards, no way. Like he
- 16:44Speaker 1: thought Billy was much, at least 10 years younger. And again,
- 16:48Speaker 1: he took care of himself. You know, I did a
- 16:51Speaker 1: thing on Saturday. I went to this event at my
- 16:53Speaker 1: gym and the guy I was partnered with, he's cool.
- 16:57Speaker 1: I think his, his wife, I don't know if it's
- 17:00Speaker 1: his wife or his friend, but she's a listener. So
- 17:02Speaker 1: he introduced me to her. It was actually cool because
- 17:04Speaker 1: I was set up at one station. It was this big,
- 17:07Speaker 1: it's called Driven Drive for breast cancer to raise money
- 17:11Speaker 1: for breast cancer. It was really cool. He took over
- 17:13Speaker 1: the whole gym and they had all these different stations
- 17:15Speaker 1: around the gym that you would move through. And so
- 17:18Speaker 1: I was set up at one and he came over
- 17:20Speaker 1: and I knew him from like working out there and
- 17:22Speaker 1: he said, hey, you want to come join ours? So
- 17:23Speaker 1: I went over there and I don't know if it
- 17:25Speaker 1: was his wife or his girlfriend. She's a very nice girl.
- 17:27Speaker 1: But she is a listener. And so I met her.
- 17:30Speaker 1: She was super nice. But he is in really, really
- 17:34Speaker 1: good shape. And he's older. And I feel like with
- 17:37Speaker 1: people that are bald, you can't always tell. If they're
- 17:40Speaker 1: bald and clean-shaven, you know, if they don't have hair
- 17:42Speaker 1: that's gray, sometimes it's hard to tell. So I couldn't
- 17:45Speaker 1: tell how old he was. My guess was like early
- 17:49Speaker 1: 50s in my head. That was my guess based on
- 17:53Speaker 1: how he looked, his physique. And so after we were done,
- 17:56Speaker 1: I said to him, can I ask you how old
- 17:58Speaker 1: you are? He said, 64. And I was like, wow.
- 18:03Speaker 1: And I just said to him, dude, your goals. And
- 18:04Speaker 1: he's like, really? I'm like, yeah, your goals. Like, that's
- 18:08Speaker 1: what I want to be. I want to be, you know,
- 18:10Speaker 1: 64 and look like I'm 50. And again, a common thing, right?
- 18:14Speaker 1: They're consistent. They exercise. They eat well. And trust me,
- 18:19Speaker 1: food is a big issue for me, especially lately, because
- 18:22Speaker 1: now that the High Rocks race is done, I was
- 18:25Speaker 1: so dialed into that. You know, my brain is, I've
- 18:30Speaker 1: changed a lot in my life, but it's always there, right?
- 18:35Speaker 1: There's that voice. It's the same thing with drug addiction, right?
- 18:38Speaker 1: I can be clean forever, but there's always that little
- 18:40Speaker 1: voice inside. They call it like the monkey, right? The
- 18:43Speaker 1: monkey will always be in your back. It just shrinks
- 18:47Speaker 1: down and you don't want to like let it get
- 18:49Speaker 1: big again because then it turns into a gorilla, right?
- 18:51Speaker 1: And that's when the relapse happens. But it's the same
- 18:54Speaker 1: thing with food, right? Like it doesn't matter how long
- 18:56Speaker 1: I go eating clean, tracking my calories, tracking my macros.
- 19:02Speaker 1: You know, once that voice starts saying it's okay, it's
- 19:06Speaker 1: okay to eat Oreos, it's okay to eat some Nutter Butters,
- 19:10Speaker 1: and then once I do, it opens up the floodgates.
- 19:12Speaker 1: And before you know it, I'm eating like crap all
- 19:15Speaker 1: the time. So that's kind of where I'm at right now.
- 19:18Speaker 1: You know, I'm eating my meals. I'm eating my protein meals.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I have my shakes and all that. But because the
- 19:23Speaker 1: High Rocks is done and we're going into winter, you know,
- 19:26Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I can have that, you know, and
- 19:28Speaker 1: nobody else eats really clean in my house. Like my
- 19:32Speaker 1: wife does, like she eats clean food, but she buys snacks,
- 19:34Speaker 1: a ton of snacks, snacks for the kids, snacks for her,
- 19:37Speaker 1: and she'll come home with the craziest stuff, even from
- 19:39Speaker 1: Whole Foods. So the other day she brought home baklava,
- 19:42Speaker 1: which I'm not like the biggest fan of, but there
- 19:45Speaker 1: it is on my counter. And so like I go
- 19:48Speaker 1: into my kitchen, I'm ready to eat a meal. I
- 19:51Speaker 1: see the baklava and then that little voice is like,
- 19:54Speaker 1: just have one. Even though I know it's a lie
- 19:56Speaker 1: because I can't have one of anything. Once I have
- 19:58Speaker 1: the one, I have to have two, you know, and
- 20:00Speaker 1: before you know it, I keep going back. That's just
- 20:03Speaker 1: how it works. And I feel like I have discipline.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I do have discipline when it counts. But then there's
- 20:09Speaker 1: periods like this where I kind of– I don't think
- 20:12Speaker 1: it's a fall off per se. But it's allowing the
- 20:16Speaker 1: door to open a little bit. And before you know it,
- 20:19Speaker 1: the door is wide open. Before you know it, I'm
- 20:23Speaker 1: eating candy, Halloween candy. And it's fine because I do
- 20:27Speaker 1: believe in living. I really, really do. And I know
- 20:31Speaker 1: that when it's time to lock in, I'm going to
- 20:33Speaker 1: lock in. And this body dysmorphia that I have. It's
- 20:38Speaker 1: going to be with me forever. You know, the pictures
- 20:41Speaker 1: that I took with Massport and Governor Haley and all
- 20:43Speaker 1: them that were posted everywhere, it's weird. When I first
- 20:47Speaker 1: saw them, my first thought is, oh, my God, I
- 20:49Speaker 1: look so terrible. Like I look fat. And because I
- 20:53Speaker 1: know myself, you know, I went back and looked at
- 20:56Speaker 1: it again and I was like, actually, I look okay.
- 20:58Speaker 1: I look pretty good. I don't look fat. That first thought, again,
- 21:02Speaker 1: that voice. Do you have that voice? Is that voice
- 21:05Speaker 1: inside of your head? And I don't think you have
- 21:07Speaker 1: to be an addict or an alcoholic or have addiction issues.
- 21:12Speaker 1: I think that everybody has that voice inside that's telling
- 21:16Speaker 1: you you're not good enough or to do something bad,
- 21:19Speaker 1: to eat that food, to, you know, whatever it is.
- 21:22Speaker 1: We all have that voice. And yeah, I don't know.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Back in the day, it was a lot of things
- 21:30Speaker 1: like praying, you know, to a higher power and talking
- 21:33Speaker 1: about it. And, you know, I still do those things
- 21:35Speaker 1: in a sense, but. It's just always going to be there.
- 21:39Speaker 1: So I don't know. That's just my daily reminder that
- 21:42Speaker 1: when I go home today before my class, I don't
- 21:45Speaker 1: have to eat the cookie and I don't have to
- 21:47Speaker 1: eat the baklava. I can pass on it. I can
- 21:51Speaker 1: have some chicken and rice. And, you know, when the
- 21:53Speaker 1: weekend comes, if I want to splurge a little bit,
- 21:55Speaker 1: we're going out to eat on Saturday before that big
- 21:57Speaker 1: punk concert, the hardcore show. You know, I can have
- 22:00Speaker 1: some cake or have some dessert or whatever. There's really
- 22:03Speaker 1: no reason for me to eat that way on a Tuesday.
- 22:05Speaker 1: It's just my thought. So. I guess I'm saying it
- 22:07Speaker 1: out loud so I don't do it so it holds
- 22:09Speaker 1: me accountable. It is what it is. Anyway, have a
- 22:12Speaker 1: great day, everybody. Tomorrow we will talk again. As always,
- 22:15Speaker 1: leave talkbacks, questions, comments. You can communicate with me. All right.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. I love you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
