Starting point is 00:05:58 So, I mean, we've been obviously all over the place with where we're staying these days and whatnot. And so we're at this hotel. And I, the first night I was there, I didn't have a problem because this, this weird, like sort of electrical noise was just something that kind of drowned it out. And I just was able to pass out. But I figured out the next day what it was. We're right next to these elevators.

Starting point is 00:06:19 And there's like an electrical engine room right underneath our room. And so like every five to 10 minutes, we hear a, na-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a I don't want to see Justin break Adam. No, because I feel like. Are you back there tonight? Yeah, bro, you're gonna hook up your brain FM. I, 100%. Oh yeah, I had totally forgot that. You know, you do bring your speaker, do you want me to bring you one? Yeah, I have a little, I have a little speaker.

Starting point is 00:06:53 Yeah, maybe you could play for the whole room and then everybody could just, well, you guys don't know that. And so now here's the other thing too, right? So, I mean, I'm glad I found this place because it's really hard to find right now because everybody else has, it's been evacuated and so everybody's like occupying all these places. But this place had enough space, I could bring my dog, so everything, the layout's great.

Starting point is 00:07:14 But also the AC is only in the other room with the pull out bed for the kids. So it's right next to them and they freeze, so they turn it down at night and we don't have one in our room and it's walled off so I have like a little fan but like I so around 4 a.m. too like it gets like swelteringly hot in our room so I had to open the door and then put that and suck all that air in and anyways that's that's my job. Well you are in charge of the, so you can switch the rooms with your kids if you want. Yeah. Hey, do you guys want the big bed? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:07:49 Oh my God, yeah. Yeah, I know, right? They feel like champions, maybe I will do that. Yeah, dude. Oh, man, I don't want to see Justin crack, dude. Yeah, it's getting close. Yeah, so if I have a moment on here, you guys know why. I don't want to see Kong come out.

Starting point is 00:08:02 Did you guys watch that? Have you guys seen that? Speaking of Kong, there's a series on Netflix I've only watched two episodes But it's really entertaining. It's called high score. Oh, I see I saw the preview to it But I want you to have it so it's all about like the history of video games and how they took over and how they grew and Sick oh, it's, it's so cool. So I did not know this.

Starting point is 00:08:26 So Donkey Kong was Nintendo's, when Nintendo's first big hits. This is when they were making arcade games. They got sued by Universal Studios because Kong, because King Kong. And they said, oh, it's King Kong. And so what they did is the makers of Donkey Kong got a team of lawyers and they ran all around America and other countries finding other businesses

Starting point is 00:08:54 using the word Kong. They found like a Kong car wash and a Kong play thing or whatever. Yeah, they get like dog toys named Kong. Yeah, and yeah, so they brought that to the court and they basically said, look, like dog toys named Kong. Yeah, and yeah, so they brought that to the core and they basically said look all these people use Kong and

Starting point is 00:09:09 Nobody's going after them. They're just trying to squeeze this for money and they won and that was how Nintendo was able to get a Foothold catapult and really grow. Yeah, so the whole is the best part the the show parts of it are narrated Yeah, by the guy that invented or that created the worst video. That's widely considered to be the worst video game of all time. Do you guys know what that game is? Is that the pong back and forth? No, that game was sick. Yeah, that game changed everything. Hey, Paul, which was the... Okay, so do you guys remember? Did you guys have Atari 2600? Yes. Okay. Okay, think of like the worst worst game. I bet if I say... Adventure Island. That was pretty bad.

Starting point is 00:09:45 I don't know if it's a bad one. I know you're talking about it. That's the pitfall one, isn't it? Or are they two different ones? No, no. No, pitfall's different. It is. Okay, so the worst game,

Starting point is 00:09:52 because when he said it, when they showed the game that he made, and he's like widely considered the worst game, I own this game, and it was the worst game of all time. What is it? ET. Oh ET, yeah, that was such a letdown.

Starting point is 00:10:05 Cause you're like, this is after it was popular and the movie was out and everybody's excited about it. And you notice it's terrible. You didn't even know what to do in the game. Like, move around. He falls and you're dead and you're like, what happened? So the story behind that apparently is this guy, the Atari was crushing and they were making good games

Starting point is 00:10:22 or whatever and they got approached by the movie, what is it, the production company that makes ET? I don't know, who made ET or whatever. Like MDM or silver. Whatever. They approached Atari and said, Dreamworks or something. Yeah, we wanna give you, I don't think Dreamworks existed.

Starting point is 00:10:39 Yeah, probably. We wanna give you guys the rights to make the ET game, okay? But we need it done in two months. So back then games took minimum nine months to make. So this one, you know The programmers who was super cocky. It's funny when he tells a story. He's like, hell yeah, I can do that Oh, shit. He just throws together some BS game 24 hours a day. He worked on this game delivered the game And he's like, oh, I did it. Well, they ordered millions of copies of this game. It was the biggest flop in video game history. And then it led to Atari basically crashing

Starting point is 00:11:12 because then they, all they, their strategy was, flood the market with as many cartridges as possible and all the game sucked. So was this, is this the birth of Nintendo at the same time? Well, Nintendo, dude. Okay, do they go into like the history of Nintendo, how long they've Well Nintendo, dude, okay, do they go into the history of Nintendo how long they've existed? Oh, it was in Japan.

Starting point is 00:11:29 Yeah, but it goes way further back than I even realized. Doug looked that up, because it was like, I mean, way back towards the 19, I wanna say like 30s or 40s. There was like 40s. Yeah, way back. Oh yeah, that's no. I'm serious.

Starting point is 00:11:46 Bro, they had secret video game technology that they did not let know. It's stupid, dude. Nintendo's not that old. No, Nintendo, a video game console isn't. But yeah, but the company itself is insane. Right, I didn't even know that. So Nintendo, the company was, is, goes, let's wait

Starting point is 00:12:02 to see the action. It was fact check time, back check time, Douglas. 1889. In today, like, what? Is that mind boggling or what? So it was a playing card company. And it was this Japanese playing card company that made these cards and then they got

Starting point is 00:12:18 into the video game business. So I got one for you guys. This didn't even make sense. So my buddy, my buddy still has this. It's great. And it's like his parents passed it down from their parents a game. It's like the first like their first version

Starting point is 00:12:31 of a video game. So this is well before Atari didn't know anything like that. And what it was, it was a football game. And it was a bot. It's like a, it's like this cardboard box. And there's a light bulb underneath it. And it's football. So we're playing against each other.

Starting point is 00:12:44 Your offense, I'm defense. And you have all these cards and you put your play down, face down so you can't see it. And then I put my defensive play down and over it. And then you slide the cardboard down and then the light illuminates the play. And it has little lines of like where your receiver or you're ready to go.

Starting point is 00:13:06 And then if my defender lined up right with it, that's what yard line you stop on. If I didn't have a defender there and you go all the way to the touchdown, you score touchdown. Okay, why did that sound like a super fun game? It is, we still pull it out and play it every once in a while. Literally, remember the one that vibrates,

Starting point is 00:13:22 all the little guys on the top, so on the bottom it like moves and shifts the guys so we used to have that one too It's awesome. So they were talking about do you guys remember? God, what was it called? What was the arcade that they had at like Oak Ridge Mall or all the malls It was like a brand of arcades was it wasn't Gallagher. That's an actual game. It was like We had special effects up in our area. So they showed the arcades and how kids used to hang out. Yeah, that's what it was called. So in Japan, space invaders got so popular,

Starting point is 00:13:52 they actually had a shortage of 100 yen coins because so many people were playing. Just constantly throwing them in there. Yeah, do you guys remember when you first got your Nintendo? Yeah, oh, that was like totally like the biggest thing for me, my brother. We had been like begging and pleading, doing extra chores and working for my dad

Starting point is 00:14:12 and all this stuff just to get this Nintendo because we did have the Atari, but we saw like our friends have the Nintendo and it was like so much better. It was not even fine, like, I mean, they were playing Zelda, they were playing all the Mario's and yeah, dude. So you're saying Donkey Kong was the big,

Starting point is 00:14:29 so I thought it was Mario brothers, that Mario brothers. So Mario was in Donkey Kong. Yeah, he's the guy, the character, but that's Mario. So Donkey Kong came first and then Mario. Yeah. And then Mario, I thought it was the other way around. No, Aladdin's castle, that's the name of the arcade. Do you guys remember Aladdin's castle? No. Oh, that was the place, that's the place other way around. No, Aladdin's castle. That's the name of the arcade. Do you guys remember Aladdin's castle?

Starting point is 00:14:45 No. Oh, that was the place. That's the place you went. You know, it's funny. So when they're showing the video games, so my kids obviously are obviously a lot younger than me. So to them, this is all I- Obviously.

Starting point is 00:14:56 Yeah, no. It'll be weird if they were a little bit. I had a child. I had a child before I was born. For the audience. Yeah. We defied the loss of this as a kid. My kids are watching this. And oh, yeah, there's Aladdin's castle. Up top we defied the loss. Claire is kid. My kids are watching this and oh yeah, there's a

Starting point is 00:15:06 lad in castle up top left. Look at that. Oh, I remember that. So that's just that's not a brand of it. It's a brand of an arcade arcade. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So anyway, my kids are watching this. And to them, it would be like me watching, you know, when I was a kid, World War II videos, you know, every world like, that's hilarious. So they're watching it. And there's there's old clips of like the malls and kids hanging out.

Starting point is 00:15:25 And my son's watching this and I realized just how strange this must be to them. Of course, they're commenting on the style. My daughter's like, why are there hair so big and why are they dressed so stupid? And I'm like, you just wait, that'll come back in style. And then my son's like, why is everybody just like

Starting point is 00:15:39 leaning up against the wall and like not doing anything? I'm like, because that's what we did. We didn't look at our phones. We all hung around each other. We didn't look at our phones. We all hung around each other. We looked at people. We would just sit there and talk to each other's faces. So fun.

Starting point is 00:15:51 And not do anything. Dude, and hang out. You know, it's funny though, about like Nintendo and the, so I try to get my kids all into it, because that's like nostalgia for me. And so we're playing Mario and I found out like on YouTube there's this whole thing where you do runs like as fast as you possibly can

Starting point is 00:16:05 I've done that. Yeah, and so we started to try and do you remember how hard the physics are With with Mario like if you get really into it like you're trying to go for speed like it really fucks you up Yes, I I got to the point where I could beat the entire game Without dying and less than I think it was like 10 minutes. What? Yeah, because there are, there's always shortcuts and warps and stuff like that. So like I think it's the third level, you can warp to like level six. On the first Mario, you talk about Mario 3.

Starting point is 00:16:35 No, no, no, first Mario. Oh, I don't remember that in the first Mario 3 is my favorite. Oh yeah, oh, dude, my brother was so into it, dude. Do you guys remember Nintendo Power? Yeah. Okay, so this is the magazine. It gives you all the secrets. So before that, Nintendo had like counselors

Starting point is 00:16:48 that you could call in, because it's before the internet, right? Now you go, they did. So you have Nintendo accounts. Yeah, now if you have a struggle, walk into this. You go on YouTube, like my son does, he goes on YouTube, I can't get around this whatever

Starting point is 00:16:58 and then the dude on YouTube tells him what to do. Back then you call in, and there was a counselor, and they had a binder in front of them, and they would tell you what to do And then they had an intendo power. This is how into my into it my brother was you needed that for Zelda Dude, I couldn't find anything my brother wrote letters to Nintendo power got one of them published. No, no, he didn't You did got one of his letters, please tell me you have that. He's got to have that. He's got to have that He has it. That's that's right. Yeah, so this is like a big deal

Starting point is 00:17:24 Yeah, they have game Jeannie, which was have you ever did you ever play with that? So you're She codes. So it was funny about it was you started to learn that you could write your own codes and just see what happens It was like anarchy, you know, like you told I would get like all these like crazy turtles just fall from the sky Different colors and just like, whoa, that was crazy. Game genie kind of ruined it. It did.

Starting point is 00:17:48 If you think about it, speaking of video games, Justin, you hit that Instagram post out the part. Oh, yeah. And that was so the audience. The audience doesn't know. Well, I don't know. Maybe they know now because we probably commented on the page or whatever. But Justin organized that

Starting point is 00:18:06 with Rachel. I had found this thing on like it was a viral TikTok and it was this dad that was that someone did and he was like, you know, it was a change your dad character and the dad was, you know, mowing the lawn, a weed whacker, a hammer and it was funny. It was really funny. It's like when you're scrolling through characters on a video game. Yeah, so then one pops up and then one pops up. So I totally stole the idea. I brought to Rachel, I'm like, this is hilarious. We've got to get Justin to do something similar,

Starting point is 00:18:32 but for Jim Bros or Jim Guys or whatever. So she gets with Justin, they put together a series of all these and they shoot it. And then we're all talking about it. And you know, it'd be really funny is if we make Sal a character in the game and we don't tell him.

Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah. And so we're all in on it, but Sal was just, yeah, naturally. And I shared, I showed Rachel, I was like, listen, I've got this photo of Sal that I shared on my Instagram like two years ago that. Oh, the sexy one? Yeah. That he posted and then I, too.

Starting point is 00:19:03 It was a good field, though, I'll be honest. I was like, I kind of, I could kind of get into this shorty short. Yeah, the the wife feeder with some booty shorts and the and the chalks dude. That's the and then the key. The broccoli was a nice touch. I didn't know it was great. Oh, dude, it was awesome. I'm I supplemented back. Yeah, you've kind of so, so here's a thing that I don't know how I feel about this. Jessica, so Justin talks to Jessica and tells her he needs a pair of the shorts that I wore in that picture that you're talking about, Adam. So, these are their short swim trunks.

Starting point is 00:19:35 That's the style in some places. Yeah, so in Europe. Yeah. It keeps things free. Hey, no, the style is there. So, we're rousing you. And I mean, the Ori just dropped their short shorts. Hey, no, the style is there. So we're razzing you. And I mean, the Ori just dropped their short shorts. Right, yeah, yeah, I saw that.

Starting point is 00:19:49 I was like, oh, Sal must be so excited. Here's the deal, bro. You got nice legs and quads and hammies. Yeah, put on them short ones and go to the beach. I mean, no, no, they're showing off. Short shorts are in. Tucking your wife, beater, and do your short shorts. I don't know how much that is in.

Starting point is 00:20:03 I tuck them into it. Do they tuck in the wife, beater? No, no, no't know how much that is in. I tuck them into it. Do that tuck in the wife be the two? No, no, no, no. I was just trying to be as accurate as possible. So you gotta see the waist, yeah. That's why I gotta see how the waist tape is in. No, but so Jessica's like, hey, before you go to work,

Starting point is 00:20:16 can you take this purse to Justin, he's gonna give it to Courtney because she wants this purse. So I'm like, okay. Knowing you wouldn't look inside, because it's a purse. And inside the purse was the short, that I did it. What is that about men?

Starting point is 00:20:28 That's like, you're just like, ugh, you just kind of grab it. It is, right? I don't want to see what's in there. And you can't just hold it over your shoulder. You got to just kind of like pinch it. Hold it away from you. You know, like the further away from you, it's like a more manly one.

Starting point is 00:20:41 We have to give Jessica credit. That was a brilliant, very, very smart. She lied so good and so smoothly. Now I'm questioning everything. Yeah. And she's really good at that. Yeah, I know. Now I know I can trust her.

Starting point is 00:20:52 So no to women, if you ever want to smuggle anything with men, just bite it in a purse. Yeah, I've put in your big ass purse. We'll never look in there. But do you ever go to the mall or you're at a, you know, whatever, and you see man outside of a, like a store outside the women's bathroom and they're holding their wives and girlfriends' purses.

Starting point is 00:21:08 Oh, yeah. None of them are holding it properly. All of them grip the purse with their hand and just kind of hang it like this. It's way out here. Okay. Hey, I'm doing this as a, you know, for my wife. I feel like that's like the ultimate wife flex.

Starting point is 00:21:22 You know what I'm saying? Hold my purse. Hold my purse, honey. Hold this box of tampons. Really? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm not gonna hold it the right way. I don't want someone to think it's mine.

Starting point is 00:21:32 Yeah. You know what I, you know what the male flex is? Do you guys do this? So, you know, Jessica always cares a purse. So she also has my keys and my wallet and stuff inside of it. So I don't put it in my pockets. I put it in her stuff.

Starting point is 00:21:44 That's not much of a flex though. It's hidden in her purse, not a big in her stuff. That's not much of a flex though. It's hidden in her purse, not a big deal. Have it out, your wife making you hold your purse is like her purse is, the old time to do the man spreading it. You know when I sit anywhere, so it's space. Especially with the short shorts.

Starting point is 00:21:56 Yeah, exactly. Show everybody, let them out. Show everybody what time it is. Air it out, yeah. That's disgusting. Hey, so I got some feedback now for the neural effect from Paleo Valley. So they sent two bottles of this new product called Neuro Effect and I've been using it now for about 30 days legit. Yeah, you mentioned that. I think the last

Starting point is 00:22:18 time, right? Did I, did I talk about it already? I thought you meant it. So it's, it's legit. So it's designed, it's a supplement, a natural supplement that is a newtropic. And so some of the ingredients include things like lion's mane, cordiceps, raishi, there's some organic whole, excuse me, coffee, arabica, whole fruit extract, which spikes something called BDNF,

Starting point is 00:22:43 brain-derived neurotropic factor. So when you take it, especially if you combine it with caffeine, which is what I did, I do notice a different level of sharpness, especially after I've taken it for like a week or two. So paleo, paleo, paleo, valley's hitting it out of the park a little bit.

Starting point is 00:23:00 Now, is there anything different with this than like your typical neutropic that you've tried before? Is it? I don't like synthetic neutropics. Yeah. So there's there they're there. They're the racetim supplements like parasitam and aniracetam and all that stuff. I don't like them. They can feel little stimulatory. You build a tolerance and it doesn't give you a nitropic effect by improving your brain health. It's almost like forcing. Yeah. It's end up getting headache., it's the end of getting a headache. That's, I get a headache from on to.

Starting point is 00:23:27 Doug, you said your teeth hurt and then you got a headache, which is a weird comment. That's what he said. It's weird. He said, I made my teeth feel fine. He filled my hair growing. And then he got a headache. It could have been the cocaine that I smuggled in there.

Starting point is 00:23:39 Yeah, it must have been. And then here's the other thing, their organ complex. I absolutely love it. And I'm having Jessica take it because it's high in the B vitamins and Some of the other nutrients that you get from organ meats and because she's pregnant You know and organ meats. I hate to say this they're disgusting. I love supplementing organ meats. Yeah, they just mainly for that reason. Yeah, it's hard It's hard to I mean sometimes you can get creative and kind of work it into like burger patty and meat and stuff like that, but for the most part, it's so much easier supplement.

Starting point is 00:24:08 Yeah, here's what I do. I get the chicken liver, so I'll get like maybe two ounces of chicken liver, and then I'll cook it with a bunch of bacon and seasoning and butter, and then she'll get like big ass piece of bacon with the liver and just, you know, real quick, try to eat that. Don't even notice it. Don't even notice it. Don't even notice it.

Starting point is 00:24:25 Speaking of meat, did you guys see KFC is pulling back their slogan that they've had forever, the finger-looking good? Oh, God. Why? Because of COVID. Oh, brother. Yes, yeah, because of COVID. It's like their slogan said, sneeze everywhere.

Starting point is 00:24:38 It's your own finger. I don't want to live in a world where I can't lick my own damn finger. Yeah. You don't think? live in a world where I can't lick my own damn finger. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's what was happening. Well, they changed, remember when they changed their brand the first time? Oh, yeah. What was, yeah, remind me, I remember.

Starting point is 00:24:53 It was called, it wasn't KFC, it was called Kentucky Fried Chicken. Fried chicken. And was that to make people that are overweight, happier or something? It was the whole like, you know, bad press about fried foods. Yeah. So you don't want to put fried in the title. Here's what I think. Well, it still stands for that though, right?

Starting point is 00:25:11 It's literally what it is. Yeah, but now people just call it something else. They'll fool them. You know what I think? I think companies need to just be proud of who they're like, just own it. Like Mr. Salty, peanuts. You know what I mean? Those fuckers don't. They're like mr. like mr. Salty peanuts. You know what I mean those fuckers don't they're like right out with it Salty eat this is hella salty, you know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:25:31 What do you get it? Yeah, nobody goes to jay nobody goes to KFC to not get fried chicken If you go into kFC for healthy food, you got more problems in the name of the food. Oh, yeah Yeah, I'm saying just it just be contained in fried real big. Hey, did I was watching some weird thing. This is totally, well, it's kind of on topic related to, and the KFC was one of the companies they were comparing. Like in other countries, you know that the size of the drinks and the serving size

Starting point is 00:25:58 are actually all really different. Did you know that? From the country to the country. Yeah, for cars is enormous. Right, like so they think KFC was like one of the examples and they showed like the popcorn chicken, the chicken nuggets, like what their small, medium and large consists of.

Starting point is 00:26:12 And then they did like this thing where they come, it was on food wars. So there's like a YouTube channel I think it is that it's called food wars and they do all these different things. And this episode I was watching was they took all these different fast food restaurants that are all over the world that are popular like KFC

Starting point is 00:26:28 and they compared them to the US and like, and ours are like crazy different. I mean, way, way different. Like there's some countries where, you know, the large soda for them looks like, I think like with a standard large soda, then over like the large soda at KFC is like a, you know, two liters or some shit of soda. Same thing over the large soda KFC is like two liters or some

Starting point is 00:26:45 shit of soda. Same thing with the fried chicken, the popcorn chicken. It's all the culture, dude. America is a bigger, bigger is better country, and it starts with early culture because we had so much space. So if you go to like old European countries or countries that have been around for a long time, you'll notice that their house is in the space that they, like you go to a refrigerator in some parts of England, they'll have refrigerators, they look like mini refrigerators,

Starting point is 00:27:14 but that's what they use. Same thing in Italy with house sizes and stuff like that. And so we started with more land, we have more space in our houses, our cars are bigger. In America, we eat out of buckets. Yeah, let that sink in. Bucket chicken. Here's your trough of mashed potatoes.

Starting point is 00:27:33 Dude, all my family from... mashed potatoes isn't even a thing in the other country. Oh, really? Only in America the mashed potatoes engravy is the thing at KFC. That's like a staple of dirt here. What the hell are they doing? So we go to like, Sweden or somewhere, I can't remember where they are comparing,

Starting point is 00:27:46 but you go somewhere else and you try and get, they don't even have mashed potatoes in there. They're gonna put vinegar and salt on their, you know, fries. What's happening? Well, they have mashed cod fish. No, they don't even have that. It's just not a part of it. It's just not part of KFC there.

Starting point is 00:27:58 Why do you even call it that then? Change the name. Well, no, it's still KFC. They're still chicken. How do you know that fries? There's nothing in mashed potatoes engravy in the kfc yeah I don't know man isn't it yeah it's like when my family what comes to visit for middle or when they first would start to come

Starting point is 00:28:12 they would remark about how big the cars were they couldn't believe it and they couldn't understand they did not understand why Americans drove trucks they they thought that was a strange why do why do they own a truck do they is it for work I'm like, it just drive trucks. Like does the make any sense? The utility of it makes plenty of sense to me. Everything here is just big, including our food, which is not the way it's all over. Speaking of big, have you guys seen our boy, Juji Mufu man, Ginn, Jack? Oh, he's got, dude, so I saw him last night on American Ninja Warrior.

Starting point is 00:28:43 What? I didn't even know he was on that show. Did you wear all of that? Well, he went through maybe the first two obstacles and then he kind of got over the part where it was like on the rings and then he fell into the water. But I mean, he did a pretty good appearance. It was just funny because I was watching it with my kids and everything because they're really getting into parkour

Starting point is 00:29:03 and like, you know, that was one of the big bummers of this whole thing, is they were just starting to really get into that gym, where they're being able to do all these crazy, gymnastic parkour moves and stuff. And so American Ninja Warrior became a big thing. They were getting excited about maybe sometime they could compete. And then I saw a Juju move on there. I was like, hey, this big ass, you know,

Starting point is 00:29:26 bodybuilder, acrobat guy, trying to do it. Have you thought about actually exploring, you know, paying for like one of these guys that does that? Like if they're like, to teach your kids. Well, yeah, that's what was the gym was that way. I took a few. I know, well, obviously the gym's not open anymore, but have you thought about reaching out

Starting point is 00:29:42 or finding somebody that trains for that? I mean, we've had dudes on the show that are in your neighborhood. No, not yet Like I think I would I would totally look into that That's why I was trying to build things in my backyard and all that You know we'll see if it's still there You go right now and Dodge Frank is gonna say it would take you to the fire you You only get one chance Oh, we lost another one You're up next you know if you know if Justin hires someone to teach his kids park or you know for sure

Starting point is 00:30:18 He's gonna take the same class of course. Oh, I'm in dude. I've told you guys. He secretly wants to do it I know 100% he's ready. Yeah, Mufu's getting it's getting jacked. Yeah, he looks great He's a beast. Yeah, let's feel that natural stuff. He's doing yeah Yeah, I said I saw him pull the I saw him pull like 700 on the on the trap bar deadlift like it was nothing Now that dude is strong flexible total they eat such an anomaly, bro Do you think he could go on stage and do well, bodybuilding-wise, because he's like it. Amateur, yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:49 Local amateur, probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, I mean, that's so competitive. And because he's trained to be like a strength athlete and flexible. I like his physique. That's the kind of physique. Don't get me wrong, he's got a great physique,

Starting point is 00:31:01 but he doesn't have a pro. Little more athletic than bodybuilders. Yeah, he doesn't have like the big bubbly, you know, arms and you know, but they look like chest isn't there. Like no, he's got, yeah, he's got a lot of area. Like, I love talking shit about a dude. I know. I know. I know. It's not talking shit. You asked a, you asked a straight up question, and I'm giving you a professional critique. Right. That's all it's like no doubt. But the judge all this is stronger and looks better than I do right now. So it's not a professional critique. Right, that's all it is. Like, no doubt. How they judge all these things. The dude is stronger and looks better than I do right now. So it's not a talking shit with no other. It's like, he looks great. I would get crushed on a competitive stage right now.

Starting point is 00:31:32 Okay, so it's not me talking shit. It's like those dudes online that critique like models. Like this really pretty model. He's like, her elbows too pointing. Yeah, I like her eyebrows or what. And then you see Ben Pollock just pulling like an ungodly amount of weight these days as well. He's a huge, and he's another good example, right?

Starting point is 00:31:50 Like he did okay in bodybuilding, right? Like did he? It looks like you'd do better now though. Yeah, and saying what, Juji, he's been training like a bodybuilder. So, I mean, I definitely wouldn't count either one of those guys out if they really decided to take bodybuilding serious for two years.

Starting point is 00:32:04 If they actually decided to train to be a competitor, I mean, a guarantee they would look good. Now here's the thing, this is for all those people out there that in some people that we know, you know, closely that we still work with, who say that the deadlift is not the best back exercise. Okay. Look at the bag.

Starting point is 00:32:20 Look at Ben Pollock's back and look at Mufu's back. Now both of them did other exercises like pull-ups and rows and that kind of stuff, but they did a lot of dead lifts and that was primarily what they did. They did. And look at their backs. Look at the thickness.

Starting point is 00:32:35 I think Ben Pollock did a post, maybe about a month ago or so of like a throwback to when he competed. And you know, he's got two guys on each side of him. And his back just dwarfs the two dudes that are in the same category, same levels. And he wasn't doing lap pull down. He was a power lifter.

Starting point is 00:32:55 And his back just dwarfed them. And it's all from deadlift. That's why I think it's really funny when we see these, I mean, it's all for clickbait, right? And I always try to remind people that like tag me in those posts. We get sent that a lot, right? Cause we tout the,

Starting point is 00:33:07 how important that the dead left is for, for the back so much that there's this, this counter message that's out there right now from some, and some smart trainers, right? That that, that wanna break down the movement of it and be technical about, oh, it's not really a back exercise. It's a hip hinge movement, that's the primary movers.

Starting point is 00:33:24 But that's just it. Sure, it's that. But the isometric hole that the back is involved in and when you can pull four, five, six, 700 pounds, like 800 pounds, like these two guys can do, you're gonna, as a side effect, you're gonna get a massive back. 100%.

Starting point is 00:33:40 Hey, so do you guys know about that at Tillus Gym in New Jersey? Yeah. Okay, so that's uh... in smith and frank trombetti resisted guy that's been fighting back and forth with being closed down yeah i'm you know it's make it's infuriating to see that what the mayor there is doing to them and i'm just glad to see somebody fighting the system and here's

Starting point is 00:34:00 why this is some of the reasons why i love america okay it's because of smart entrepreneurs so he found a way and by the way nobody is going to that gym And here's why, this is some of the reasons why I love America. Okay, it's because of smart entrepreneurs. So he found a way, and by the way, nobody is going to that gym who doesn't know the potential risks that they're gonna have exposing themselves. They've done all the precautions. This is obviously they're trying to make an example of them, the mayors, I don't know what the fine was.

Starting point is 00:34:19 $10,000 a day or something stupid like that. You know what just says, what you're just trying to flex your political muscle on a guy like that, which is just insane. You can't boarding up his door and everything and then try to mean to put, oh, so they just moved in. Yeah, they just lived there. Because they say they're gonna put like a steel door

Starting point is 00:34:33 on there now. What? Yeah, so yeah. Anyways, just this fight with the city and it's just so stupid, so you know what he did? So that makes me so happy. He was able to register his gym as a campaign office. And now they, because it's a campaign office, they can remain open. He's like a Republican campaign party. Yeah, just

Starting point is 00:34:54 to oppose the mayor, but here's a deal. If you want to go there and work out, you register as a member of the campaign. And now you can legally be there. So smart. Isn't that wonderful? That is. You use your own tactics against them. Totally. I did not know that was going on. Oh yeah, I mean, just a brilliant, brilliant move on his part. And look, I feel so much for businesses right now,

Starting point is 00:35:17 for people trying to do it legally, trying to do it the right way, who are not trying to lie to people. They're trying to be smart, they're trying to be safe. It's at some point, like we have to, I feel like there needs to be a bigger movement that really like emphasizes small businesses and really like helps who's been hurt the most,

Starting point is 00:35:36 you know, as of late to, I mean, these policies have crippled our small business economy. Well, they're trying to take care of themselves. If they have no money, they can't take care of themselves. What do you want them to do? Go riot, so now we gotta depend even further on the government to pay for their interests. He's trying to take care of himself

Starting point is 00:35:54 and the members coming in, know the risks and he's taking all the precautions. It's insane. Well, to pile on this conversation, did you guys see the guy who got busted for the PPP loan? So, for fraud, almost a million dollars, like 800 something thousand dollars. More to come.

Starting point is 00:36:10 That's my point, right? Is that you have businesses like this trying to legitimately run a business, struggling, they're trying to shut them down, close them. You're talking about his livelihood to the state. It's nothing. It's pennies probably for them, but for him, it's his livelihood. And we're trying to condemn him, it's nothing. It's pennies probably for them, but for him, it's his livelihood and we're trying to condemn him

Starting point is 00:36:27 and shut him down. Then you have other people that are taking advantage of the system. This guy, it was a contractor who had a business that defaulted like four years ago and applied, then reapplied, and ended up getting like $800,000 thousand dollars for that PPP loan. And obviously, you didn't have even a business running whatsoever.

Starting point is 00:36:46 It makes you wonder how many people took advantage of that, and how many people did that truly help out. It's like cockroaches. Where you see one, there's probably, you know, a hundred of them. And of course, this is going to happen. They pushed it through real fast. What they're going to do now is go back at some point and audit this shit out of everybody, which is why I recommended to people, and they asked me about it, unless you absolutely need it,

Starting point is 00:37:06 don't get it, because now you are shackled. You're gonna be tied to all this, so just be very careful. That's what's gonna happen, but I mean, I am afraid this is already starting to happen. We already are having a growing black market of work.

Starting point is 00:37:21 People are starting to operate, who've never broke the law before, who need to feed themselves, need to care themselves, are now operating the black market because they have no other choice. Do that or go steal, which they don't want to steal. We just drove Uber and Lyft out of California. Actually no, they suspended, they paused that.

Starting point is 00:37:39 Oh, they did. Oh my God, sweet. So the courts paused that for a second to reevaluate and see what's going on. Oh, I didn't hear that. Oh, good. Cause I heard it move through and I was angry. Wow. Oh, look there's another one.

Starting point is 00:37:51 Doug just pulled up one for boy, that trumps mine, huh? Wow. My Ami man used fraudulent PPP loan to buy a Lamborghini, $3.9 million. Wow. Wow. At the balls of these people. Gosh, I feel like, I don't know, man.

Starting point is 00:38:03 I feel like these people should be honest to the whole extent. Helicopter money, you know, when we fly out there and just throw all this money out to anybody that applies for, and you saw, I mean, you guys heard how the, I mean, I think Doug looked into it at one point, like the back, how much the backlog on the banks, I mean, it was so overwhelming,

Starting point is 00:38:20 I'm sure banks were just approving stuff to get through everybody, to get to people that actually need help. So along the way, I'm sure hundreds if not thousands of people took advantage Well, what I'm afraid what I'm really afraid of is you have a huge Percentage the majority of people in this country are good people They want to take care of the families. They want to follow the law and They get pushed and pushed and pushed and pushed and what I'm afraid of is at some point

Starting point is 00:38:44 It's like awakening a sleeping giant and they're all gonna be and pushed and pushed. And what I'm afraid of is at some point, it's like awakening a sleeping giant and they're all gonna be like, I can't. That's enough. I need to be able to take care of myself. I need to support myself. I can't survive anymore. That's it.

Starting point is 00:38:54 I'm gonna do it anyway. And then you're gonna see negative repercussions from that. So I hope they consider all that stuff. Anyway, back to fitness, because we're a fitness podcast. Men's Health published a study on resistance training versus cardio.

Starting point is 00:39:07 Really? Oh, interesting. You want to take a wild guess at which one was better? Yeah. I mean, I know, but do they know? Yeah, resistance training. Resistance training in terms of burning calories and all that, body weight exercises, just as effective a course long term.

Starting point is 00:39:23 Resistance training, more effective because of the muscle building signal that you're sending from it. You know, one of the things that people don't realize with relying on cardio to burn all your calories is you're sending a signal to your body to get better at cardio. Part of that signal is let's learn how to burn less calories. And so you start to pair muscle down. When you do it with resistance training, you're still burning calories, but you're also sending the signal, which says, we need muscle.

Starting point is 00:39:50 So less muscle loss occurs. Or if you do a really good job, you actually start to get some muscle building. So it's another study to kind of support that. And I'm happy because I think- Is this becoming more mainstreamy thing? Is this something that the general public is like, well, maybe we don't need to just run on a treadmill all day to breathe out. Hopefully just in time for Sal's book.

Starting point is 00:40:09 In my opinion, we're like five to 10 years away from resistance training, really going mainstream. I mean, like moms and dads and grandmama and whatever, when they wanna go and be active rather than putting on their jogging shoes or trying to get on a treadmill, they think, I'm gonna get myself a pair of dumbbells and I'm gonna do some strengthening exercises.

Starting point is 00:40:31 I think that's, we're getting there and all these studies are starting to support it and that means that doctor's important. I'd be great to see that, yeah. Isn't that great? Yeah, that is good. You know, Justin, I wanted you to bring something up because I think you mentioned it last week

Starting point is 00:40:42 and I never actually has to talk to you about it, is you said something about Dion Sanders, what's going on with him? So I just saw that he became one of the main hosts for Barstool, I think, on their sports side. Oh wow. So they actually, which is a big deal because he actually came from ESPN and major network television to now jump on to something that's like more social media, related, but Barstool is so big now, it just kind of shows you a big shift, you know,

Starting point is 00:41:11 in entertainment and the different platforms and the weight that they carry these days. Yes, I you're familiar with him, right? He's a famous badminton player. Yeah, he's a football player. He's a shovel cock around. Didn't he play for the Falcon? Fantastic at it. He did. He did actually. He did Falcon? Fantastic at it. He did, he did. He did actually.

Starting point is 00:41:26 One of the teams he played for. He played for the Falcon. 49ers, I think you played a little bit, didn't he? Yeah, the Cowboys. The Cowboys he played for. Okay. I just looked it up. Yeah, come on.

Starting point is 00:41:35 Dude, Bartsel is crushing it. The Lion of Braves. They are crushing it. As a media company in general, those guys are really good. That owner guy, I don't know what his name is, but he cracks me up. Have you ever watched his videos where he's talking about the trades that he does on the mark? Yeah, he's talking shit. He talks shit to what's his name warm Buffett He literally calls about I'm out-performed. You look at my pics. Look at my number. I love his personality

Starting point is 00:41:59 Yeah, very entertaining. It's absolutely hilarious. It's really oh oh, I want to ask you, Adam. How's Mazi? I forgot to bring that up. So what was the deal? As I remember, I told you they got into, the boys got into a fight, you know, a while back and it was so bad that Bentley had scratched his eyeball and like, remember, I told, I think I talked about this in the podcast.

Starting point is 00:42:19 I don't remember if I did or not, but like maybe almost a month ago, they got into a really bad fight. And like blood was like squirting everywhere and all over my walls and it was just a mess. And Katrina screaming downstairs and I come down and you know, Mazi's eyes all bloody and stuff. And you know, they get in the scuffles all the time and you know, Bentley just caught him with his fingernail and it caught him right on the eyeball and

Starting point is 00:42:46 Just fucked it all up and it's just it's something I we can't fix like surgery and because the bulldogs have a hard time Breathing and their mind are getting older. They're at risk to put under for surgery So it needs to be like a life threatening thing for you to even risk putting them under to it Is it because they when they go under anesthesia, they might stop breathing? Yes. Because they already have trouble breathing as it is. You put them under and then there's a good chance that they might not come out after that.

Starting point is 00:43:12 So is it infected now or is this something you're gonna do? So it was getting better and we had, you know, a poor guy has to wear that little donut thing that all the time that I know he absolutely hates. And I had got it down and then he also has allergies. So like when the allergy season kicks up or if there's something going on that is high for allergies for him, all of a sudden he'll be itching a lot.

Starting point is 00:43:35 And so his face was irritated, itching, he was rubbing it. I came out one day and like his eyeball was like inside out. Like it was just completely all this, this guard tissue had built up and it was inflamed and yeah, my poor dude, I feel so bad. So what do you do? Any body? Yeah, antibiotics, give them some pain killers, and then he has like this, you know, what's it called? Like very similar to what you use for contacts. Like I drop. Yeah, but

Starting point is 00:44:02 there's I forget what the what it is. Strings. Huh? No, no, not by Zine. Yeah, but I forget what it is. Strangely. No, no, not by Zeen. I'm talking the type of fluid that it is, but. What do you mean? Yeah, it's, there's a type though, it's not what we meant. But I've got to put that in his eye every day right now to keep it down.

Starting point is 00:44:17 Is he late, you touch his eye? Yeah, he does, because I think it hurt, I think it bothers him so bad that I'll put like a hot compress on it to calm him down. You could tell it feels good for him, because he can't do anything himself. So all I gotta do is put it on him and he sits there right there.

Starting point is 00:44:30 So you could tell that probably relieves him. How old are they? Seven and nine now. What is the life expectancy of a bulldog? That's about where they're at. You're kidding me. Yeah, most bulldogs don't live past 10 years old. So if you get a bulldog to go 10 years,

Starting point is 00:44:43 but so my hope is, because I feed my bulldogs different than like our breeders thought I was like starving them all time. They just let, because they'll eat, they'll just eat and eat and eat, and they sleep and sleep and sleep and they don't require much exercise. Like exercise for the bulldog is like,

Starting point is 00:44:58 one walk around the block, that's it. Like they do that once or twice a day, and that's complete exercise for them. They're not, that was part of the appeal to them for me because I bought Bentley when I was still in my condo. And I was like, okay, I don't want like a dog, like Justin's dog that needs to be ran and exercise on a daily basis or they destroy things.

Starting point is 00:45:17 I need a dog that wants to be lazy. I'm around, yeah. Exactly. That want to sleep and just kind of lay around and the bulldogs are like the best for that. But yeah, so they're not supposed to live very long, but I also keep their diet in check. They eat a half raw, half dog food type of diet.

Starting point is 00:45:33 I manage base off of their movement, so I feed them more when we are going out and they're active and I feed them less when they're not. And I think some people that see that, I remember my breeders used to think I was being cruel to the dog and I feed them less when they're not. And, you know, I think some people that see that, I remember my, like my breeder used to think I was being cruel to the dog and I'm like, I'm not being cruel to the dogs. I watch their weight and they easily can go up. And I've noticed when, anytime they get about 10 or 15 pounds

Starting point is 00:45:57 heavier than what they are, which they can easily put that weight on, if I let somebody watch them for like a week when we travel and they just feed them treats and feed them so that I'll come back and they won't even fit in their harness in their league. I'm like, fuck man. Isn't that funny?

Starting point is 00:46:10 Yeah, I get the whole time too. Like if Arlo has like any of his ribs showing it all, even though he's like lean and like muscular and like people be like, I don't know if you're feeding him enough. Feed him. You just want him to be like a fat waddling turd. No, it's our country. It's like our country.

Starting point is 00:46:25 It's where we think we do the same thing to our animals. It's true. There is no exaggeration. There's a dog obesity epidemic too. There is. I know. We overfeed him. We feed him table food.

Starting point is 00:46:37 And I just don't do that stuff. So my hope is that because I've taken good care of him, I thought, when they put on that extra pounds, what I was alluding to in that story is that right away, I can hear wheezing and they have a hard time breathing. They snore way louder when they're overweight like that. When I keep their weight in check, they breathe normal, they don't have anything going on

Starting point is 00:46:56 with their wheezing, their snoring is still there, but it's cut to a minimum in comparison. So I don't know, I hope I get more than 10 years out of them, but they're definitely getting up their age.. Yeah. Yeah. Jessica told me she found a dog she said, I look like maybe Doug can pull it up. Look up giant schnauzer. Schnauzer. I was going to say schnauzer. No, you weren't. I was. See, dude. I don't know. She's like, this dog looks like you. This is the kind of dog you should get because it kind of looks like you. Oh, let me see. Let me see. Yeah, look at the picture and tell me what you think. Is that what's

Starting point is 00:47:23 in Lady in the Tramp? I feel like you look like the lady in the tramp dog. Damn. I guess I do Like goddess sure Yeah, oh yeah, that's the lady the tramp. Yeah, you totally look like yeah, why do I look like it? How do I look like a schnauzer? I think you even look like the lady the tramp dog even more He's got a little bit of a great him pull up lady the tramp. I don't really yeah, yeah, I look like a schnauzer, huh? Yeah, it is so I look so these dogs are apparently dude. That's totally you Oh Today's calls brought to you by Max and a boy if you're looking to maximize your overall muscle and strength The first question is from Camel WBFF Pro.

Starting point is 00:48:29 What is the best way to keep muscle while cutting? Is it possible to still build the body part while in a deficit? All right, so let's start with the first part. Is it, what is the best way to keep muscle while cutting? First of all, if you're anybody who's trying to lose weight, anybody who's trying to burn body fat, one of your primary goals should be to maintain muscle. Okay, because every time you lose muscle, you reduce your metabolic output, meaning you slow

Starting point is 00:48:57 down your metabolism. That means it's more difficult now to maintain a lean body weight. And the likelihood that you'll gain the weight back later on increases in response to how much muscle you lose. So this should definitely be a number one goal. Now there's two main ways that you prevent this from happening. The first one, lift weights, obviously. Lifting weights sends the right signal to the body. It says, we need this muscle. Even though calories are low, we still need to be strong. Now, to be more specific, in my experience,

Starting point is 00:49:31 one of the best ways to keep muscle while dieting is to train for strength. It actually works better to train for strength while you're dieting because strength is such a loud muscle building signal. The second thing is have high protein. High protein low calorie diets by themselves, even if people don't lift weights, they turn out with less muscle

Starting point is 00:49:53 loss. So regardless of how you're working out, if your protein is high with your calories below, that alone will help you keep muscle. Yeah, which is definitely like again, this is counter to a lot of people's thought process when they're trying to lose weight because they're trying to really put all their attention in that direction. So they'll add on the hit training style, they'll add on the circuits and extra cardio

Starting point is 00:50:14 and cut their calories kind of all at once, which again, we're inevitably we're gonna do this long enough we start losing muscle as a result as well as the rest of your body mass. So, to focus your attention more on strength while your cutting is such a more effective strategy. I'll add a little bit more to that.

Starting point is 00:50:33 I think I don't think it's as simple as just strength training as far as your training. So, if you just came out of a strength cycle and you're going into a cut, I think changing into anything that's novel to the body is ideal. So if I was training a 5x5 routine or I was lifting for strength right before I went into a cut, which was normally very common for me. A lot of times I was in a strength cycle when I was adding calories. When I switch out of that, I want to train what's most novel. So if I'm used to training a 5x5 or a strength routine, going to a more hypertrophy type of routine actually kept more muscle on my body than staying in the 5x5 type of training. So it really matters what you were doing before you head into the cut. So I always like to change my client and my own programming when I transition from,

Starting point is 00:51:28 either bulking or maintaining whatever you wanna call it to a cut for a show. So whatever your programming looks like, heading into the cut, I wanna do something a lot different. So that's the first thing. The other thing is, I also wanna minimize how much cardio I'm doing in order to cut.

Starting point is 00:51:47 I like to do it all through calorie and manipulating my training program before I start to add any of the cardio in there. A big mistake that the competitors that I would train would make or assume is, okay, I'm eight weeks or 12 weeks out from a show, it's time to start cutting. They introduce cardio right away. I think that's a mistake when you're trying to hang on the muscle. As much muscle as you have on your body going into a cut, it is not advantageous to keep all that if you're also running on a treadmill or doing the stair master.

Starting point is 00:52:18 The body will see that and go, or feel that and go, oh, let's get rid of some of this expensive tissue because he or she is making me sit on this stairmaster for 30 minutes or an hour every single day or in some cases two hours a day. So minimizing the amount of cardio you're doing during a cut and using your calorie intake or your manipulation of your training to create the caloric deficit is a far better strategy

Starting point is 00:52:42 than just adding than cardio. And then I think the obvious one, especially when you're talking to someone who's a WBFF pro, I'm sure she knows that, you know, keeping up the protein is a must, right? So that's a must. I think that's an obvious one. The common offenders that I see with the competitors is they are following a routine that is similar to the one they were following before the cut. And that's not going to send a very loud signal for the body to adapt and change and build

Starting point is 00:53:09 muscle. So you want to change the programming. And then the other big common offender or mistake I see is the adding cardio right away. I'm saving cardio for that peak week or maybe the week or two before. I'm not introducing it until then. And that was something that I think was really hard for a lot of people that hired me to when I was coaching them to grasp when I would tell them, like, no, we're not doing any cardio, not yet, not yet.

Starting point is 00:53:34 And I'd save it till the final weeks so I could preserve as much muscle as possible. Yeah. Now, as far as possible, is it possible to build muscle while in the deficit? Yes, is it likely? No, it's highly unlikely. It's steroids. Yeah, if you're natural, you can do it, but boy, you need to be at a very small deficit, meaning you're not trying to burn a lot of body fat,

Starting point is 00:53:55 you need to have the right amount of training, high protein, good, loud muscle building signal, and then maybe what'll happen is your body will take some of the calories and energy it needs from body fat. And you'll have enough that you're in taking to fuel muscle growth, but it's very unlikely. It's very hard to build while in a reduced calorie diet.

Starting point is 00:54:16 Now, if you're a beginner, I've done this all the time with clients. When it's a brand new, you're not lifting weights, you're coming to me and you're totally sedentary. I've gotten people to burn body fat and build muscle all the time. As you become more advanced, it becomes far more difficult to make that happen.

Starting point is 00:54:31 Next question is from Point Blank Strength. Do smelling salts actually do anything physically to help you lift? I heard one power lifter say it opens up your sinuses for easier breathing, but is that accurate? Ooh, did you guys ever use smelling salts at all in your brain? Yeah, and I picked this question because I actually had one of my best PRs of all time bench pressing. I did smelling salts right before that, and I don't know. It really, to me, it was more of a alertness like I've never had before. Like I was very just like very clear.

Starting point is 00:55:07 Everything was like around me. I was just very focused on just one thing. And so I could kind of, I could kind of see the benefit to that to where I'm just literally, I'm so present that everything was actually working in unison at once. I don't know, you know, the science behind all that, but I know it definitely, I felt the effects of it. Yeah, I discovered smelling salt.

Starting point is 00:55:28 So I knew that power lifters sniffed something and then would do a lift, didn't know what it was. I knew boxers, these to use in boxing, with the, you know, the boxer goes in between rounds and then I saw that in Rocky, right? In Rocky, you know, Mickey gives them the smelling salts to wake them up or whatever. But I'd never, I'd never tried them or anything, right?

Starting point is 00:55:45 So fast forward, I'm managing a 24-feet. I'm probably 21 years old, so I'm young. And we had the first aid kit at the front desk. Every gym has one. And in the first aid kit, there are smelling salts. Oh, really? Yeah, all of them have it, right? They know that.

Starting point is 00:56:03 If someone passes out, you could help wake them up. I didn't know that. So if someone passes out, you could help wake up. I didn't know that those were in there. Yeah, and so the way they work, the way that those ones work, is they're like these little packets and there's like a little, it's like a blanket opener. It's like a glass ampule inside and you just crush it and then, all right, so, and then you smell it or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you smell it. And so, let's say Doug pulling up a picture of them.

Starting point is 00:56:23 No. So anyway, so I had these at the front desk. I saw that they were smelling salts, didn't know what they were, or how they worked. And I thought, huh, there's like 15 in here. Let's take one out. Let's see a couple, yeah. I'm just gonna take one out and see what it does, right?

Starting point is 00:56:39 Right. And I had no idea. So I crashed it and I made the mistake of just going for a big huff. Oh yeah. And it knocked me on my ass. Good to know. I went back and went, oh, so then what I did is there's that CVS or whatever.

Starting point is 00:56:52 That's like two stores down from the 24th of it. I went in there and I bought a bunch of smelling salts. I'm like, this is going to be the best thing. I don't even know CVS carried that. Yeah, you can get in there. No kidding. So I got what I would do with my sales guys, is when they were on the phone making phone calls

Starting point is 00:57:09 or whatever, when I noticed that they weren't making calls or they were the thargic, I would have one in my hand, I'd crack it and I'd put it right in front of their face. Get down and wake them up and then they'd get, oh, stop it, we had this blast with smiling sauce. So that was my experience with them. Then I never used them to lift until later on, when I really really got into heavy dead lifting

Starting point is 00:57:30 and wanted to see what I can go to. So I bought the same ones, and before I would do a heavy, heavy lift, I would sniff it and then it'd go and I'd lift the weight. And yes, anecdotally, it definitely worked. It definitely gave me a new sense of alertness. I felt like I can rip with more strength and a lot of stuff. And so anecdotally, they definitely work boxing now banned

Starting point is 00:57:52 Smiling Salts. I don't know if you guys know this. Because the belief was if someone has a concussion, then we don't want to artificially wake them up and go get beat down more. So they banned Smiling Salts because they thought it would motivate fighters to keep going out even when they were hurt. Yeah, get more head trauma.

Starting point is 00:58:10 Now, the science behind them is interesting. It does irritate the membranes and your nose and in your lungs, causing you to inhale and increase oxygen intake. So it does give you that kind of, and it just stimulates central nervous system response. So you do feel like you're kind of moral wake. It also, the smelling salts also increase nitric oxide, believe it or not.

Starting point is 00:58:31 Oh, really? There's this paradoxical effect with smelling salts where stimulates the central nervous system but blood pressure drops because your blood vessels open up. So for those reasons, yeah, it probably does help with your heavy lifts, but here's the thing. You don't wanna overdo it. Unless you're, yeah, if you're a competitive lifter, it's fun, go for it. If you're not, waste of your time, waste your money,

Starting point is 00:58:54 and don't play it, it's not something to be played with. If you've never taken a sniff of smelling salts, you are gonna be in for a rude awakening. It can't be good long term. I've known some power lifters that like use it all the time. Like almost in every workout session. I'm like, dude, this cannot be good. You know, for your health later on, I'm sure like there's no studies out there.

Starting point is 00:59:17 There's gotta be some brain cells getting killed. Yeah, like a lot of them. Storning up so like that. Hey Doug, did I ever have you smelling salts when I trained you? Never. Never did, okay. So I'm glad I did. okay? So I'm glad I did You love a check real quick. It definitely works. I mean there's something to it

Starting point is 00:59:29 I have you guys use it once I mean I've used it plenty of times. I just thought it was I thought it was like waking the CNS up That's what I feel I figured just ample by Yeah, yeah, it's very temporary, but it really like kicks in right almost like what is it a post activation? Potentiation or whatever it's like in slapping the face. Yeah, we're getting slapped really quick. Kind of way too. Yeah, right. I feel like it's more like that. I didn't know that I actually didn't know that it increases nitric oxide. Yeah. A little bit interesting.

Starting point is 00:59:53 But it's not enough to make a difference. So before everybody go buy a bunch of small insults for the new lift or whatever, it's not going to make a difference for you. But if you if you're a strength athlete and you compete, you need to practice using them. Yeah, are they allowed to use it in a lift and a meat? Powerlifting, yeah. Oh yeah, yes. So I see value in it for that person.

Starting point is 01:00:12 If you're competing. Yeah, if you're competing and it gets you that extra five or 10 pounds out, but I mean, for the average lifter who's just trying to get stronger, and I don't think it's beneficial for body builders or people trying to connect. If anything, it'll probably prevent you from connecting to a muscle because your instinct when you smell it

Starting point is 01:00:28 is just lift. You're not like, it's almost fight or flight, just baaah. Yeah, it's not like you smell it. You're like, I'm gonna connect to my glutes more. It's like you smell it and you, ah, you know, you go after it. I'll try to connect to the glutes. But you do build up a tolerance.

Starting point is 01:00:38 This is how, this is to back up what you're saying, Justin, it's probably not good for you. I mean, they'll start with the little ampules of smelling salts. Next thing you know, they go to nose torque and then the strongest versions of like... Well, that nose torque, what a great name. Yeah, it's literally so strong that you open the bottle

Starting point is 01:00:54 and you hold it like a foot or two from your face and then do one of these with your hand, you kind of walked it in. Woffed it in, yeah. Yeah, you can't like... Oh my God, if you smelled it right up your nose, they'll start bleeding. Yeah, unless you have a high tolerance. What is it ammonia? Is that ammonia salts?

Starting point is 01:01:07 Is that what it is? Oh wow. Next question is from Kegan R. How often should I be doing mobility work for each body part? I have multiple areas hindering my lips, but find it hard to spend the time needed each day. Yeah, the best way to approach, first of all, let's think of the goal with mobility training. The number one goal with mobility training is to improve your coordination and connection to ranges of motion. The goal is not to build muscle. The goal is not necessarily to get crazy strength gains.

Starting point is 01:01:39 Now more mobility leads to building more muscle and more strength gains, but the goal of mobility training is not the same as when you're lifting weights. The goal is to connect, and the best results you get from connecting is frequent practice, frequent short practice. So in other words, 30-minute mobility session is not going to be as effective as 5, 10-minute or 5-minute mobility sessions, I should say, or something like that, or 5, 6 minute. And it's such an individual dependence on.

Starting point is 01:02:08 So if it's impeding on specific lifts, like your technique, I can't hold my shoulders in that position for very long, my knees are always buckling out, things like that. It really, I would say that it is a priority. It's something now that you do need to consider long term. If you don't address it, the more load and stress you apply to your joints that are not in a favorable position where they're supposed to be, you're going to suffer the consequences

Starting point is 01:02:36 of that. It's really up to assessing which ones are the biggest offenders. I would focus my attention more on the three or four exercises that will really help to address those specific issues you have in terms of not being able to hold yourself in a specific posture to promote those types of movements. I feel like we get this question a lot.

Starting point is 01:02:59 I get this a lot in my DMs too. I don't know if you guys get this a lot. I do a ton, maybe because I talk about mobility a lot on my Instagram. And people are always looking for like a prescription for me, like tell me how many times I need this or how many times I should do that. And this is a really hard one.

Starting point is 01:03:15 And I think Justin, you hit it on the head really well, which is, look at what the greatest offenders are first. Like what is hindering, you know, whether it be your squat or your deadlift or your overhead press, whatever movement that you're trying to get better at. What is the greatest offender? Is it your ankle mobility?

Starting point is 01:03:34 Is it your hip mobility? Is it your ability to retract your shoulders? Is it your forward head? I mean, all those things are probably issues for most people. It's very common. It's very common for people to lack ankle mobility. It's very common for people to lack ankle mobility. It's very common for people to lack hip mobility, shoulder mobility, to have this excessive forward head.

Starting point is 01:03:51 Those are all very, very common. So it's like, okay, where do I start? Well, personally, I started with my ankle and my hips. That was, I was trying to improve my squat, the grossest offenders on there, even though I had forward shoulder and a slight forward head, and that is an offender too, the greatest offender was my ankle and hips. My ankle and hips was not allowing me to get depth

Starting point is 01:04:14 in my squat, and so I just kind of hammered those, I crazed, that was the one. And for me, it's all about, it's trying to create this as a habit in my daily routine. It's not like, oh, programming it, and we did this in prime and prime pro for people to make it easier for them, so that we teach them how to program it in those programs.

Starting point is 01:04:36 But really, it's about repetition. It's trying to do it as much as you possibly can. You frequently as possible. Yeah, my recommendation is to go through something like prime pro, and you pick out one or two joints that you really want to improve the mobility or that's the greatest offenders and you all day long, you just, you know, get down in that combat stretch all day long, get down in those 90s.

Starting point is 01:04:58 I mean, you're trying to do it like Sal was saying, you know, five, five minute times is far better than you doing this one long session of you trying to get as frequent as possible and then you address the next joint. And the best way to do this is to inject it into your regular day. So let's say at night you watch TV with your spouse or whatever.

Starting point is 01:05:19 Okay, while you're watching TV, get into mobility positions or every morning and every night you brush your teeth. Okay, while brushing my teeth, I do this mobility move with my ankle, or after dinner, or when I'm washing dishes. If you inject it throughout the day with your normal routine, you'll do a very good job of being frequent

Starting point is 01:05:40 and you'll see really rapid results. If you try to structure it and schedule it like a workout, it's not going to work as well. Next question is from Leonza Peroni. I've been tracking and working with an online trainer for a while, but the constant tracking, measuring, and weighing has started to become an issue for my mental health. What are your suggested steps for someone who wants to continue to stay healthy, but also wants to transition into a more intuitive, less calculated lifestyle?

Starting point is 01:06:13 Okay, so Adam always talks about something called what's your intended result? Or what's the intended? Desired outcome. Desired outcome, right? What is it that ultimately you'd like to achieve with your nutrition? And ultimately, I think I can confidently say that

Starting point is 01:06:28 for most people or for everybody, the goal is to have a comfortable, stress-free, healthy relationship to food, with food where you eat healthy and you eat in a balanced way where you can enjoy the occasional dinner out and pizza or drinks, but for the most part, you eat in a way that's very healthy.

Starting point is 01:06:46 And you don't sit there and stress about it all the time. It's just a natural part of how you live. That's the goal, okay? That's where we all want to end up. Now what you're stuck at is you are stuck at right before that, okay? So I'm going to go through, I've talked about this before, but there's really four stages of awareness or learning around anything that you're trying to accomplish. And I'll go through them real quick, but the first stage is unconscious incompetence. You don't know what you don't know. This is where most people, by the way, most people

Starting point is 01:07:18 are here. They don't even know what they don't know about nutrition. They've heard a few things on the TV or on the internet, but they really don't know what they don't know about nutrition. They've heard a few things on the TV or on the internet, but they really don't know what they don't know. Then they pick up their first book or they listen to a mind pump episode, and then they start to realize what they don't know. Like, wow, I really don't know a lot of stuff. That's the next stage, which is conscious incompetence.

Starting point is 01:07:38 You're consciously incompetent, okay? The third stage is where you're stuck. The third stage is conscious competence. You have to like consciously think about what to do in order to eat healthy, okay? That's a great stage to get to, terrible place to stay at. So let's use something else. Let's forget diet for a second, okay? If you're listening to this podcast right now, you are breathing in a way that is unconsciously competent. Okay? You naturally breathe.

Starting point is 01:08:06 You don't have to think about every single breath, although maybe you are now because I mentioned it. Imagine if every time you walked or every time you breathe, you had to consciously think about every step I took or every breath that I take, it would feel very much like you feel right now with your diet where you have to weigh and track and measure everything. Great place to transition from terrible place to be stuck in. This can become a stress in and of itself. It can also create a bad relationship with food itself. So how do we move out of it very slowly? Here's what I recommend. Give yourself right now one day a week and call it your intuitive day and your goal in that day is

Starting point is 01:08:47 To ask yourself how do I feel? What foods are gonna best serve me? Am I really hungry? Am I bored? What feelings am I having around food? While I'm eating I'm sitting down. I'm not distracted. I'm being very aware of the food How does it taste? How do I feel afterwards, how do I feel before, and don't judge any decisions you make on that intuitive day.

Starting point is 01:09:09 100% I guarantee it's gonna resemble more of a cheat day at first, but as you continue to get used to this intuitive day, it'll become a little bit more comfortable, a little bit more healthy. Once you've mastered one intuitive day, don't track, right, don't judge it. Once you feel comfortable with it, and it starts to feel healthy, then you add another day

Starting point is 01:09:29 and so on. And eventually you have seven days a week intuitive. This doesn't mean you'll never go back to tracking. It just means now you're starting to figure out how to do this without having to track all the time. Now that was a very sensitive approach and I think probably good and we'll stick with that being the best answer, but I can't help but want to challenge a little bit of this because I want to know what a wild means and I also want to know what is it doing to

Starting point is 01:09:54 your mental health. Sometimes people get frustrated clients, we get frustrated when I'd ask them to track and I know we talk about that tracking also and weighing your food all the time can also be an eating disorder, right? But when I see that, I don't see the person who's trying to learn how to eat properly or learn what macros are.

Starting point is 01:10:18 That's normally the competitor who's been tracking and weighing for five years consistently and they don't know how to operate without doing that. They've attached themselves to that so much that they don't know how to move away from that. I don't see that as often in a client who just hired me and I'm trying to get them to learn what they're consuming on a regular basis.

Starting point is 01:10:41 So when I hear something like, I've been training with an online trainer for a while. Well, what's a while? Two months, five months, where we talk about three years, he's had you tracking like that. If you've only been tracking for a month or two, and you think it's affecting your mental health

Starting point is 01:10:56 and you're ready to give up on it, you wanna go to Intu.TV. You may not be ready for that yet. So I would caution you of, to thinking that it's creating some sort of mental issue with you because you're having to track right now. And maybe you just need to continue on

Starting point is 01:11:11 with tracking for a little bit until you learn. Until here's what I would do with a client. If I can't put a plate of food down and you give me some idea of how much protein, carbs, fat and calories that plate is, and you're completely clueless to it, you still got some tracking to do in my eyes. You do, but I'll say this,

Starting point is 01:11:29 if you're already identifying that it's causing you undue stress and issues, you said mental health, and you're identifying, I don't like this relationship and developing with food. Yes, you probably, and if it's only been a short time at some point, you need to revisit it and see if you can get through without it feeling unhealthy, but it's okay to take a break.

Starting point is 01:11:49 Cause here's the thing, if you push through and you already have, and you're, and even if it's only a week, and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm having this, this real unhealthy relationship with food that's developing, and you're identifying that, it's okay to take a break, gather yourself, and then revisit it.

Starting point is 01:12:05 Here's a couple tips. One, stop weighing yourself and stop focusing on aesthetic goals. Start there because sometimes they go hand in hand. Typically, somebody who's constantly weighing themselves, constantly looking in the mirror, testing their body fat, goes hand in hand with this stress over weighing and measuring food. Instead, maybe focus on performance a little bit. How strong am I in the gym?

Starting point is 01:12:28 How good do I feel? How's my mobility? That might help. You might need to take a break for a couple of weeks, go back to it with that attitude, but Adam's 100% right. The only way you can get to intuitive eating is if you have knowledge of an awareness around food.

Starting point is 01:12:43 And some of the most basic knowledge around food includes calories, protein, fat, and stuff. I can't help but think of like the kid who's wanting to skip doing all the long form and learn how to do division. And they just want to get right to the calculator. Like give me the calculator. This is, well, I feel like to me out too much

Starting point is 01:12:58 to have to figure this out. I feel like to maybe this trainer kind of jumped them right into tracking versus focusing on something that wasn't too foreign for them in terms of their lifestyle currently. That may be a bit of a resistance that they're feeling now to where this is so different than what I would normally do to where I could just introduce whole foods. I could just introduce slowly a ways to incorporate healthier habits versus all of a sudden now I have to be so dialed, so measured with

Starting point is 01:13:30 the way that I'm approaching this. That's a great point. That's an excellent point. And so I hammered this person first. Now I'm going to come back and defend you with the point that Justin's making that I would never start any client with, you know, if you're in your first month or two of me, we've talked about this in the show. I'm not making you way and measure and track and do all those things. We're doing, and we've talked about this on the show many of times, is I'm looking to introduce foods to you, and I keep it simple. I'm going to be the one who looks, I might have you track for one week so I can get an idea of what you're doing. And then from that, I have a snapshot of your

Starting point is 01:14:04 habits and behaviors and the foods that you're probably lacking. And then from that, I have a snapshot of your habits and behaviors and the foods that you're probably lacking. And then I'm gonna tell you I want you to add something. So I might say, eat just like you're eating, but now what I want you to do is add, you know, a bowl of brussel sprouts every single day or this and give you three or four different options. It keep it very simple.

Starting point is 01:14:19 That's all, and then I'm gonna add something else down, you know, three, four weeks down the road. So, you know, like this could also be the lack of experience coming from the trainer, knowing how to work with you. So part of our job is to be able to work with all different types of people. And if you're somebody who has a really hard time tracking,

Starting point is 01:14:37 you may not be ready for that yet. And so I would have a different approach in your defense. Yeah, now here's some, without knowing you, so I'm going to, I'm going to guess here. But I think what might be a good approach for you if you wanna try something different to start with, if this kind of tracking isn't working for you, try doing this, try just hitting protein targets

Starting point is 01:14:54 and avoiding heavily processed foods. That's it, don't worry about calories, carbs, fats, anything else, just worry about, I'm gonna hit my protein target, and I'm going to really try to avoid eating heavily processed foods. Start there, usually what happens when people do that is their body self-regulates and they start to eat right amounts of calories.

Starting point is 01:15:15 Heavy processed foods really encourage just to overeat and nine out of 10 times when I have clients kind of cut those out, their calories tend to fall right where they need to be.
