Adam and I do a little debate It's to whether or not the economy is going to continue to blow up or if it's going to pop Then we talk about a study showing how older people who are slightly overweight live longer than older people who are normal weight or Underweight, yeah, shocking, but we have some theories Then I talk about how ice is overrated so putting ice on an injury can actually slow down your recovery. But you know what speeds up your recovery? Increasing blood flow, you know what does that great? Juve red lights.

The next question, this person wants to know what we think of functional bodybuilding. And then the final question, this person wants us to rank our top four supplements,

So I, this has happened now three times. And door number one, two or three times. Or I just missed the last step of the stairs. I'm just, you know, I'm doing something, I'm doing something else, whether it's on my phone
Starting point is 00:05:02 or I'm, you know, looking somewhere else or, and just, I think I'm at the bottom and I'm not at the bottom yet. And I've done this now and it's like, I've strained my self-strained, you have my hip, I've strained my knee, I've crashed on the account. I'm kidding, dude. I don't know what's going on, but it has never happened to me in my life before
Starting point is 00:05:22 where I, you know, fall on the steps and I'm just miscalculating, and I've done it three times now, since I've lived at this house. It's only been two years. Normally, you have good balance and awareness, and now it seems to be. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Is it, am I getting older, and I'm losing my balance in coordination, or am I just multitasking? You told the wrong guy, dude. I'm the, I'm the WebMB guy. You just distract. I'm about to scare the shit out of you. I mean, does this happen to you guys? No, nobody misses step-duck. I feel like I'm the web mb guy. I'm about to scare the shit. I mean does this happen to you guys? No nobody misses step-duck. I feel like Doug should be missing steps.
Starting point is 00:05:49 That's early. That's early signs of you. You went through a phase of that. That's early signs after you. I don't miss steps. Neurological degeneration. Is that one of the first steps? Yeah. I don't hope you're not getting something. I don't know what's going on man. Do you have any tingling anywhere? No tingling although air loss? No, shit It's already gone. Oh no, it's already last It's fine. Those two it means something bad. Yeah, I've done that before okay I'm like you guys are being but I never thought I'm all alone on this But I wasn't the athlete those days so for me it's normal. Yeah, maybe that's why you've only up the stairs or down
Starting point is 00:06:23 It's coming down. It's coming down. So you step bigger than you think. Yeah, so the last one, I think I'm on the main floor and I'm not, I'm on the step and so you, whoa. And then I normally either fall or catch my, no, I always jam up the stairs and then sometimes I'll catch my toe on like the top one and I'll fall.
Starting point is 00:06:41 That's because you're toes weird though. That's because I have weird toes. Yeah, I have points weird. And you have heavy cakes too. So yeah, you know, heavy, I'm trying to really get some energy behind my steps. Like just a lot of momentum. You gotta get local motion. Do you go up the stairs fast because you turn the lights off and the monsters there?
Starting point is 00:06:56 Do you know what I'm saying? I told you guys I have like this fear. What fear? That's always been there. That's someone's gonna reach out to the stairs. So do you remember he said that? Yeah. Wait, someone's going to reach. He brought this up like a couple hundred episodes ago.
Starting point is 00:07:07 My next or neighbor was some of my stairs of my childhood stairs growing up. Like, it turns and it goes around the corner and you go up and it's open. And so, I was just doing my thing, going up the stairs, going to go to the bathroom and grab my leg. From then on, I was scarred.
Starting point is 00:07:23 That's terrifying. Yeah. So the under the stairs. I imagine just like hairy arms. So under the stairs is open. So someone could hide there and kill you. Yeah, exactly. Oh, forget it.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Just take me down to the netherworld. I don't like that. I mean, yeah, I did the whole one. I was a kid. Like you turn off the light and then you just jam up the stairs because monsters are not fast. These truths. And the covers will block them.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Yeah, apparently. Every single thing. I told you guys about when I scared to crap out of my brother. It's one of the beauties about being the older brother is that you are the terrorizer. You're never the one being terrorized. Yeah. So my brother got up in the middle of the night
Starting point is 00:07:59 to go to the bathroom and for whatever reason, I wasn't sleeping and I heard him. And then he went in the bathroom and I went in his room and went under his bed. Oh my God, huh? Hold, hold. Oh gosh, I was probably 15, so he was like eight or whatever, so he's like a good age to scare.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Yeah, that's it. And no, maybe 10, nine, something like that. So I'm under his bed, he gets in bed, and I, this is how bad I was, I waited a little bit. It's like I'm a little doze off. And then I shook the shit of it. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, commercials or any any that you didn't like what was your thoughts on the yeah my favorite commercial had to be the uber eats with wanes world and obviously just fit you know what I'm into which is like nostalgia totally yeah they just nailed it with and it was fun to see Garth and and Wayne you know back at it and they incorporated Cardi B or whatever but like it was just interesting how
Starting point is 00:09:01 they kind of move on that in so they crushed they crushed. I think Uber Eats did great. My actual favorite was Cheetos. I thought Cheetos did the best. Oh yeah, that was good. Cheetos did, they brought back Shaggy. And that was me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't me, that was really, really good. And then the Scots, fertilizer, I think it is, they did one.
Starting point is 00:09:19 You know who did that? Scots, fertilized, that was the one. They had the guy from office in there. They had John Travolta doing the TikTok with his daughter on the grass. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was really funny. It was really good. That was done by a veteran media. No. Really? Yeah. Gary V. Did that one. Did you see? That was a good one. Did you see the Reddit ad? It was like just a powerful person. I read about it, but I missed it because it must have been super short. It's really fast. And so now it's going on the internet. And it's the really,
Starting point is 00:09:43 I mean, the positioning themselves well as the little guy versus the big guy, which is- Well, so Robin Hood had a commercial as well. And it was all positive, you know, like I wonder if they just did that last second, you know, because they knew that the Reddit was doing. Well, you know, that's why they did it. They did it knowing Robin Hood was running it out
Starting point is 00:10:00 and they wanted to, you know, they read it, did it, knowing that Robin Hood was doing in contrast. Yes, knowing they would be running it out and they wanted it, you know, they read it, did it, knowing that Robin Hood was in contrast. Yes, knowing they would be running it out. Well, the problem is that Robin Hood did like a full on minute plus commercial. I remember that. And the Reddit one, I didn't even remember. Yeah, because Robin Hood pissed off a lot of people
Starting point is 00:10:15 because they stopped them from trading. Right. You know what I mean? And they're like, you were supposed to be on our side. You were for the little guy. Yeah, so it's crazy, kind of crazy what's going on. What do you think about it, though? Do you think I mean are do you fault? Robinhood do you think that hurts Robinhood? Do you think they're fine? What's your thoughts on that? I think that it's I think this is interesting
Starting point is 00:10:35 I think the internet has now given enough power because here's a deal if you're a hedge fund manager You're a millionaire billionaire and you're investing you have a lot of power with your money because you're buying Such large amounts of shares. But if you're an average person and you're throwing $1,000 or $2,000 or $5,000 or even $10,000, you really don't have an impact. But the internet now allows enough of these people to get together to where they can put a squeeze on these hedge funds. And that's what they do.
Starting point is 00:11:02 I just look at it as an awesome disruptor. You know? It's interesting to watch, but it's, one of those things you think is almost inevitable because if people can gather together just like in any other industry we mentioned with, you know, the taxi industry, the hotel industry, like they've all been, you know, punched in the face hard. It makes you now, it makes me wonder now
Starting point is 00:11:22 is looking at companies and thinking, okay, are these companies the kinds that these small-time investors will buy because they're cool? You know what I mean? Like, GameStop, obviously, everybody's like, we're gonna save GameStop. I mean, that's, let's be honest,
Starting point is 00:11:36 that's a business model that's totally, you know, it's good for all right? But like Tesla, Tesla's, Elon, he placed them, obviously, he placed them. In fact, he bought Bitcoin. See that? Tesla bought a shit ton of Bitcoin? It was like a billion or something.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yeah. And they went through the roof. Bitcoin's a 40 something thousand dollars. It was a Ethereum, right? Is that what they bought? No, Bitcoin. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Oh, I thought it was Ethereum. No, and they're going to start accepting Bitcoin as payment. Wow. So their shares went through the big move. I mean, not shares, but Bitcoin value went through the roof, which sold them a while ago. It makes me so mad. I didn't need to. I can't even get into mine, dude.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Right now, that's just a sore subject for me. I mean, I think I was the one that was on the Bitcoin train the most early on, right? How many chances you got left, like, too? You know, so we stopped, right? I stopped guessing, so that doesn't happen to me, but we have a ticket in to get to talk to them. Both Katrina and I were both locked out of our accounts. Wow. Now, lucky for me, again, it was gambling happen to me, but we have a ticket in to get to talk to them. Both Katrina and I were both locked out of our accounts. So now, lucky for me, again, it was gambling money to me.
Starting point is 00:12:29 So I never looked at it like I was heavily invested in there. But I mean, it's good amount of money in there, and I can't get my hands on now. I mean, I bought it like three plus years ago. Yeah, I think you bought it when it was 7,000. Yeah, I don't know. I was like 43,000. I don't remember what it was. Yeah, I think you bought it when it was 7,000. Yeah, I don't know. It was like 43,000. I don't remember what it was.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Oh, that's beautiful. Hey, I got two articles. One is for you, Justin. And one is for you, Adam. Oh, okay. Yeah, both are really fascinating. Who wants to go first? Justin's to Justin.
Starting point is 00:12:57 All the years first, Justin. It me. So I'm gonna read to you from this article because you're gonna flip out over those. You're hyping it up a lot. So, this isn't China. So, you know, they do really cool scientific experiments over there. They certainly do, I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Yeah. So, team of Chinese scientists edited the human version of a gene called MCPH1 into Moccox. These are monkeys. The new gene made the monkeys' brains develop along a more human-like timeline. The gene-hacked monkeys had better reaction times and enhanced short-term memories compared to their unaltered peers.
Starting point is 00:13:32 So they took monkey brains and made them more human and then let's see what happened. How far are we into this? What do you mean? It's like a week ago, a year ago, to have some acumen. Oh, well, this was just published. I don't know when this happened, but I think it was recent. And of course, a lot of what are they doing? The scientific communities like
Starting point is 00:13:52 you're planning to the apes is one of my favorite movies. What, bro? Think about it. Like if you're not when it's reality, you know, I don't want to live through that. To the whole, the whole like, you know, sci-fi movie plot where you have like, you know, half monkey, half human soldiers. I mean, they're gonna get the zookeepers first. I mean, I feel like we're okay. Like, I mean, did you do anything bad things about monkeys before Justin? Are you okay?
Starting point is 00:14:16 I was like a little punk as a kid, but I don't think I mess with any monkeys. If monkeys are as smart as humans, we're done because we're way stronger. You know what I mean? Monkeys. If they want to be that way, right? I mean, that's assuming that they're just not gonna be cool. It's be like, hey, let me on the cages and roam around with you guys. You're assuming that they just want, they're gonna be.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Terratic. We lose every sport. Imagine doing gymnastics against a monkey. Wait till they start messing like girls. I don't know. One of the thumbs fuck them up. I feel like we did. And gymnastics?
Starting point is 00:14:46 Oh, okay, short sports. Yeah, I'm not talking about competing gymnastics, okay? They're not winning football, so come on. I don't know, bro, I'm trying to wrap my brain. So like before that, it was like embryos and things are messing with the group. So now they grew, like they're real like live monkeys that act like humans.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Yeah, and they're just smarter. They're way smarter than the others because they did a little too. What the fuck is going on? No, no dude. Do we have footage or anything? Did you go, how deep did you go down the rabbit? That I just won article.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Oh, okay. What if you see the footage and it kind of looks like a human little bit? Right, that's what I want to see. Let's see what their behavior is. Let's start stalking a little bit. Monkey want. Let me hear mine.
Starting point is 00:15:22 What's mine? All right, I got one for you. What's mine? You made a, I know how I feel about that cell. It's pretty bad, monkey want. Let me hear mine, what's mine? All right, I got one for you, what's mine? You made a, I don't know how I feel about that stuff. I, it's pretty, pretty bad, pretty bad. So you, you made a, I don't know if I want to say a prediction, but you kind of speculated on this a while ago. So you're gonna confirm it for me or you can. It might actually be happening.
Starting point is 00:15:36 You can try and shit on it. No, no, no, no dude. Okay, this is, you'll love this. Okay, so this is a bill in Nevada that was put for, hasn't passed yet, because very interesting. Okay. The title of the article says Nevada bill would allow tech companies to create governments
Starting point is 00:15:51 So oh bro. Yes, so what they're doing is that in this bill they're creating like innovation zones, right? So a big tank and they're what they're trying to do is they're trying to track big tech companies This is what I've been saying forever with like at the Apple campus They are gonna bring it at their own little ecosystem do they'll have their doctors or grocery store trying to attract big tech companies. This is what I've been saying forever with like at the Apple campus, they are going to bring it at their own little ecosystem, dude, they'll have their doctors, their grocery store, some money house, yes, their own money, everything.
Starting point is 00:16:12 So check this out, right? So these are called innovation zones and they're obviously to jumpstart the state's economy, which I think would work. I think if they did this, it would explode. So the zones would permit companies with large areas of land to form governments carrying the same authorities counties,
Starting point is 00:16:28 including the ability to impose taxes, forms school districts, and courts, and provide government services. Oh my God. Yeah, dude, so you work for a company. Wow. Just like you said, right? You'd work for a company and they'd be like,
Starting point is 00:16:43 we could pay you, right? And you'd get dollars. Exactly. Or we could pay you an Apple dollar. Apple bucks. Yeah. Which you, we have the best doctor over here. We had the best bowling alley here.
Starting point is 00:16:53 We had the best grocery store over here. So it's up to you. Do you want to get paid? Exactly. $50,000 a year with a hundred thousand Apple bucks. Yes. Which is valued way more within this, whatever. Yes.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Wow. Crazy, right? Wow. Now, it hasn't passed, but if it passes. So, how do you guys feel about it? Now that this prediction that I said is, maybe a reality, do you think it's ridiculous? Do you think it's actually smart? Do you think it'd be good for the country?
Starting point is 00:17:15 What do you think? I think it'd be great. I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as they don't obviously super-seat, and they would never do the super-seat federal law, or whatever. But, could you imagine, as long as they don't obviously super-seton they would never do the super-seed federal law or whatever But could you imagine as long as it have their own little army? I'm scared to say what the hell man Okay, guys, thinking big term here
Starting point is 00:17:32 They're thinking of their own like soldiers Google goes to war with Amazon I mean why? You see a problem I mean to me it's like it's It's completely voluntary that you come you come work there. You have access to it. I think they can even do it in a way where you have the option. You don't, like I said, you can either take the $100,000 salary
Starting point is 00:17:52 where we pay you in US dollars and then you go pay for whatever you want or you can take $50,000 apple dollars or whatever, or two hundred, however you figure it. I'm saying that I think they could do it where you have an option. You're not forced to be in this bubble or whatever, but you have, however you figured it, right? You know what I'm saying? I think they could do it where you have an option. You're not forced to be in this bubble or whatever, but you have the option to do it. And you have to imagine that these private companies would manage their currency way better
Starting point is 00:18:14 than the federal government. Oh yeah. You know what I mean? I don't force them in flailing the shit out of there. Yeah, it all has to equate to something. Yeah, and some value behind it. Yeah, I could see it being very efficient. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:18:24 Like you'd be like, man, it's weird. It cost me this much money for lunch outside of the campus, but in here it's $2.00 and I get this amazing. It is interesting though, because you think about how much money, I wonder how much money they spend on corporate espionage, like type stuff where they're either trying to implant people to other companies or they're either trying to implant people to other companies
Starting point is 00:18:45 or they're also trying to buff up their security and do. Did you watch way too much concern? That already happens. No, it's been nice. Are you kidding me? That already happens. Yeah, I'm talking about that. Why do you think they're so protective over their secrets
Starting point is 00:18:59 and shit? Dude, it's true. He's right, dude. If you have family members that work in fact. Explain what your theory is here. Come on, let's go. He's right, dude. I have family members that work in fact. Explain what your theory is here. Come on, let's see. Okay, so there's a company. They're doing these technological,
Starting point is 00:19:10 a Samsung, right? Or these tech advancements. They're security to get in and see what they're doing. Oh, no, I know that. Okay, yeah, I agree with that. I mean, when Katrina is, like when she worked for JJ Albany's, when they did anything for like construction, right?
Starting point is 00:19:26 Like you're talking about moving dirt and building buildings. They had code names for what the building was. They all had assigned non-disclosures if they took their phone out on the job, fired instantly. Like they're, so yeah, no, I get that because, but that's just them. And also doing stuff so the government can't come in, you know like
Starting point is 00:19:45 I don't know so I don't see that I don't subscribe to what I know what it is is that if you're Apple you don't want Google being able to someone from Google being able to learn whatever tech or whatever you're on to because it's a race for all them that's that's as deep as it goes for me I don't think it's like this crazy government conspiracy or it's like well think about spnage spnage going on it's like you're you're just trying to protect that's a lot more power now or they're like, well think about how spinoge, spinoge going on, it's like, you're just trying to protect your... That's a lot more power now that they have like accessible to them. That's what's my point.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Think about how brilliant this is, right? Because campuses are massive, these tech campuses are huge. Imagine if they buy, and Nevada the land is way less expensive than it is. Right. You know, here in the Bay Area in California. So you buy a huge plot of land in the desert,
Starting point is 00:20:25 and you have your own transportation. I think this is a lot more care. You don't need a car. Right, right. We don't need any, you don't need a grocery store. You don't need massage, you don't need doctors. We got everything for you. You never need to leave.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Like that is, it'd be so efficient in else of production. It would be. I think it's brilliant. And again, you have the option. So it's not like you gotta go, you don't have to go work for Apple. You don't have to go work for Tesla. You have the option, so it's not like you gotta go, you don't have to go work for Apple, you don't have to go work for Tesla, you have the option to go do that.
Starting point is 00:20:49 As long as there's competitors still out there. Well, and what will happen is it'll only make all the other companies have to compete with that, which is for the consumer for us that are living in this world, I think it just makes it a better place. I love the idea. Yeah, and then you're on schools,
Starting point is 00:21:02 you know, all that stuff, that'd be great. And then I mean, it would be hard to leave a place like that because you got everything taken care of. Yeah. You probably create like hardcore employees because you get everything you want there. Talk about just, yeah, entrenching the court even more. Even a social, you know, the social scoring system that they have in China, you could totally do that.
Starting point is 00:21:22 So, oh, you're a great employee at out, you haven't missed a single day. Yeah. This costs 50% off. So I've told you guys that my niece is a recruiter for Facebook, she used to work at Google before, and it's crazy how competitive her position is, and how many people are employed at those companies just to go get people. And then negotiating that happens just to get
Starting point is 00:21:42 like somebody that's really, really high up at like Google to come over to Facebook The amount of money and shares and and perks and things that they get This is just gonna take that to a whole other level. It's like oh well you could we'll get you're housing for free It's gonna allow them to do a lot of cool stuff. I'm all for that. I think it's brilliant I think it is very smart. I think it's very interesting. We'll see if the bill passes Yeah, so when did it when's it when it just went on or what what's it? I don't know exactly when but it's it's very interesting. We'll see if the bill passes. Yeah. So it just went on or what? What's a, I don't know exactly when, but it's in there.
Starting point is 00:22:08 You know, there's interest. Yeah, so we'll see what happens. That's really interesting. Isn't that cool? Hey, I read an article on, you know the theory that humans evolved being like hyper promiscuous, right? That we just had sex at dawn. Yes, sex at dawn.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Yeah, sperm competition and one of the arguments is that because the human male have such a large penis in relation to our size, that that's because it's designed to displace other semen to whatever. It's a plunger. Well, so there's actually a counter theory to this, so I did not know this, but we may have large penises compared to other primates, but we also have very small testicles, compared to they have very large testicles.
Starting point is 00:22:53 And the reason for that is we don't produce nearly as much as much sperm as most primates do. So what does this say? Well, it says that we probably are, we've probably been somewhat monogamous for very, very long time because when you're competing with sperm, it makes sense to produce a lot of sperm. Well, wait a second.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You just brought an article up just like a week or two ago that talked about one like, one like droplet of semen is like is like freaking enough to impregnate like a thousand. Yeah, if you have thousands. Every sperm made it to the A. Well, yeah, but I mean, that's not how it works. The way it works is obviously you produce X amount of sperm and it increases the odds if
Starting point is 00:23:37 there's more sperm. Well, like a gorilla way more sperm than you do. Way more. Just all over this tongue. The oceans of it. So, with that says is because they mate much more, that's the competition. Whereas with human males, we don't produce nearly as much sperm as other primes.
Starting point is 00:23:54 So do you subscribe, I don't subscribe to this. I believe that we were very promiscuous. I think that we've evolved over time, whether it be through our own morals or religious morals or whatever that sacrifice sacrifices worth it. I think that we were, I think we were fucking everything. Here's why I disagree with you. Okay, I'll disagree with you for two reasons.
Starting point is 00:24:12 One, the sperm part, and that makes perfect sense. Here's the other part. Human babies are extremely dependent on humans, on adults. They're like, we give birth to fetuses, right? You've ever watched a chimpanzee baby. It's like automatically can cling to mom's fur. It could do things for itself. Human babies are pretty much worthless for a long time.
Starting point is 00:24:34 And so what this means is, and they're also attached to mom quite a bit. So the human male probably had to stick around a lot and take care of that baby. We were probably much more monogamous than promiscuous. Otherwise, there's no way we would have survived because our babies would have died. What you talk about the argument is the tribe.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Yeah, the tribe would take care of it. Yeah, you are far less likely to take care of someone else's offspring. And this is just a fact. Oh, I'd see, I disagree with that. If you have a tribe, I mean, put us back, however many years where there's 20 of us, and there's not another 20 people for hundreds and thousands of miles,
Starting point is 00:25:10 and it's just us all together. Like, are you kidding me? You're not looking out for your other partner friend that's like, for 10 feet away. And like, for sure I am. You have a kid, we're taking care of it while the men go out and hunt, and then the grandmother,
Starting point is 00:25:24 everybody's banging everybody. You assume it's kind of your kid. You know, it's one of those things. This could be my kid. Kind of looks like me. Kind of looks like it. Well, I mean, in primates, here's it that we find. So I read sex at dawn, right? So the whole thing, and I think that there's a lot of it that I actually
Starting point is 00:25:41 subscribe to. What I don't subscribe to is the leap from that to say that being promiscuous today is in our best interest or how we're supposed to be. So just because we did it before, or that's how we originally evolved, what I don't subscribe to is how that community is now made a leap from that to,
Starting point is 00:26:03 that's how we're supposed to be. There's a lot of things that we did before that we don't do today that is we've learned from and we're better about, and that's one of those things. I agree with that, I agree with that. There's that, but then there's also, our best comparison is comparing ourselves to other primates, because those are our closest relatives.
Starting point is 00:26:20 And they find, again, the primates with larger testicles, more sperm, there's more of that going on with mating. Also, in comparison to other primates, the human penis is actually, and this is their words, extremely dull, this is where, quote, it does not have lumps, ridges, flanges, kinks, or any other exciting feature that other primates have. In primates, this lack of penis complexity
Starting point is 00:26:45 is usually found in more monogamous species. So in other words, all of our... Such a leap though, right there, that sentence you just said is a leap. That's the closest, that's the best thing we have to study that could possibly tell us. Of course, historically, all successful societies had usually some form of monogamy. At worst it was where one man multiple wives, although that's proven to be usually causes war and battles and stuff like that. So that's what this showing, that's what these studies are saying.
Starting point is 00:27:16 So all balls no wing. That's right. We're all wing no balls. We're all wing no balls. That's a weird way to go all wing no balls. So anyway, pretty cool stuff. Well, in sex and darn, it's the type of monkey, it's the bonobos or whatever. Yes, but you did, okay, so they say that bonobos, they have so much sex or whatever.
Starting point is 00:27:35 But you know when you observe bonobos when they're not in captivity, they don't behave that way. So they think it's because they're in captivity. This is how they relieve stress. When they're not in captivity, they act a little bit more. Wait till China gets the hold of them. We'll see what happens. They'll get smart. They'll get smart.
Starting point is 00:27:54 They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart.
Starting point is 00:28:02 They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. They'll get smart. That's a good question, the market. Hey, speaking of market, you see, I'm watching a bumble, right? That they're trying to get into the New York Stock Exchange right now, it's got a $6 billion valuation. So I think that's something I would have been. I know, no, I'm interested in it. I think they projected to open up at like 35 or 37.
Starting point is 00:28:17 So the listeners that are always asking about stocks, like keep an eye on that one. I think that's gonna be really interesting. There was another one too that I wanted to share. I can't remember what it was in the stock market. Have you been, I've been in a row, I thought row blocks was, I don't know when they're supposed to come out, but they were gonna be like a,
Starting point is 00:28:34 have an IPO or whatever. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, just, just watching the market, it's like you can't, kind of like you can't miss. Every day, new records. Everything's hitting right now. You know, I read the news, I'm employing this up, but the stock market is also like,
Starting point is 00:28:45 Oh, okay. Now, I know in stream, you had all of us are the most probably suspect or concerned about where the real estate and where the stock market is at and where you, I mean, the old saying, right, what goes up must come down, right? And that we could potentially be setting ourselves up for a massive crash. Do you still subscribe to that? Do you believe that we are heading towards a real estate and stock market, huge plummet in the next couple of years?
Starting point is 00:29:15 Well, all of the, all of the, if you were to look at the, like the factors that contribute to a bubble, they're all there. Here's the problem. The problem is predicting when there's gonna be a market correction, and that's the hard part. But does it look like it? Well, yeah, it does. I mean, we just came out of a pandemic. You know, people are unemployed. So many people left the workforce permanently
Starting point is 00:29:41 after that happened. Yeah, but at the same time. So at the same time though, okay, here's the argument to that. The same time that you're talking about unemployment and people not making money and losing money, you've got the other side of people that we are Facebook record breaking,
Starting point is 00:29:56 Google record breaking, Amazon record breaking. There's tens of thousands, combined millions of employees that work for these companies that are crushing it right now of what people have stock options in it, that are CEOs and executives. So you've got the rich getting much richer, even though you have the, and so those people have the, have the income to buy stock and buy real estate right now. So they're driving the market.
Starting point is 00:30:19 It's still, I have the still unstable. And you do, you see a record number of first time investors in the stock market right now. So a lot of that. Then you add in that, you add in Robin Hood and then the stock pile and all these abilities to five shares of shares. And that's very much bubble like to see this excitement from new people don't know what's going on and they're putting their money in.
Starting point is 00:30:39 And as far as this, these tech companies exploding, what you saw was a huge market transfer, okay? You saw all these mom and pop stores shut down and tech companies, which, or other big companies that have the ability to operate under new restrictions because of COVID exploding. So you saw a huge transfer, right? Like Walmart did great, right? But if you have a mom and pop store, you're screwed.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Well, that's why I think it's, you can't say that we're, you know, you can't use the example, oh, oh, we're coming out of this pandemic and we have all these, this unemployment and these people losing money because for the same amount of people that are losing that, there's a bunch of people that are gaining it and maybe more. Okay. Well, what do you think would have happened? Have they not printed 40% of dollars? Now that you're only supporting my argument now. Okay. So that doesn't make the economy better well i'm not saying it may this isn't an argument on do i think our economy is better and not the argument is do you think the stock market or the real estate market is going to take a dump and i
Starting point is 00:31:33 don't think so you so you so you so you don't know why don't dollars don't do that no it doesn't necessarily mean it way it's going to crash but now you have all that money circulating you have over 40% of the money that is that is in circulation today was printed in the last year Right, right that is crazy. So all of a sudden we're playing all it really does is make the dollar less money or goods to be way more expensive Right, and that's including with stock So why don't we just keep doing that if there's no side effect to that why don't we just say again? You're you're you're changing changing the argument right now. I'm not I'm not pro that
Starting point is 00:32:02 I'm not saying that we should keep doing that. I don't think it's a smart. It's a losing. It's a long-term losing battle, but it doesn't mean that it necessarily means we're going to crash. Or is a bubble it's going to explode? It's a correction that'll happen at some point. Well, yeah, but so here's okay. What's the correction? Look like does it look like an O8 correction? Or does it look like the typical every five to seven year correction? From every from all the people that I follow, subscribe to, the correction will be bigger than the than the previous one there's a few different factors you have a much larger you have a huge student loan bubble you have uh... they're talking about forgiving yeah which will be great i again i don't agree with it okay so that's what i keep challenging though the things that you're saying because that's
Starting point is 00:32:42 where we're heading for a get rid of of it, no more student debt for everybody. No side effects of that, right? No, I mean, you know that I'm still a change-o. Yeah, oh, nothing bad with that one. Yeah, no, I'm in perfect. I'm with you on the free, when I talk, when we talk about economics, I'm completely free market guy too, so I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:32:59 But it doesn't mean that we're not in that. We're, we don't, people are making decisions that aren't based that off of that. So these manipulations and what's happening, it's a lot of malinvestment that's going on, a lot of inefficiencies and that results in a correction. At some point, there's going to be a market correction. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:33:18 I wish I could predict land and I wish I could predict where. I don't know who could do that, but again, the people I subscribe to are saying, you know, I mean, look, a good hedge against possible inflation or whatever tends to be assets, right? Because you have something physical. So even if it did drop, if the dollar did lose tons of value, probably still a good idea to own property, even if it drops, you're better off than if you just had money in the bank. Right. You said I'm saying. And that's where I am at. Yeah, I, I, and that's where I am at.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And that's what you say, you know, why not just keep doing that? Well, you don't keep doing that because in the dollars worth two pennies and fucking 50 years or like that. So, but if you have land or you have stock and companies that are going to be around for 20, 30 years, to me, that's the best way to hedge against that. And I also think that the market correction, I mean, if you think it's going to be more than OA, I don't think it's going to be more than 08. I think we have different factors involved in what was going on in 08. I think it'll be a correction.
Starting point is 00:34:11 But shit, if we stay on this trend that we're on right now and let's say the correction is at the end of this year, because we can just probably get a print more money in fucking six months, the correction happens at the end of this year or 2022. It happens It drops say 15% which is crazy. It doesn't matter. It's the one of 45, you know, yeah, you're still well You know in in oh way when that happened the amount of money that they printed What's they called quantitative easing back then right QE one? I think or whatever one or whatever That pales a comparison to the amount of money that we're printing now. And so, and listen, in free market economists correctly predicted when we first did that, oh, this will never stop.
Starting point is 00:34:53 They're gonna keep doing this until everything explodes and they were right. We are continuing to do this. There is no end in sight and they're gonna keep doing it. They're not gonna stop because if they stop, the pain starts to set in and there's no political incentive for politicians to do that. If you're in office,
Starting point is 00:35:09 you don't wanna be the one responsible for the pain, so you keep inflating it, hope it doesn't blow up when you're still in office. Are you passing on the next one? Are you familiar with trickle up economics? Yeah, but you know, I don't subscribe to it again. You know, don't get defensive like I'm fucking in pro it. You know, he's throwing at me right now.
Starting point is 00:35:23 It's like, I'm with you on the fucking believing in the free market and I tell we should let it be But it's a comedy. Yeah You like look to my say he looks to be like but what's his name? Andrew Wang was that who's running for yeah, yeah, he he tries to present that that that's what trickle down trickle up Those are political is that problem is it? Yeah, it's not wing Trickle up those are political is it? Yeah, it's not wing oh Pretty it's that yeah, sorry He's all we're just talking about pidos. Yeah, Andrew wing. No, it's a trickle up trickle down
Starting point is 00:35:54 These are all political terms. There is no such thing as trickle down economics. It was a political it was political talk Same thing with trickle up. This is just their way of selling it You know, what's this idea? mean with tesla buying that much bit coin is that i mean is that interesting at all in terms of like them trying to hedge and like going that direction big coin i mean you you got big investment companies now that are starting to recommend people invest in bitcoin why would they do that right you know i'm i mean that former currency i mean does that have i mean it looks to me like that's kind of a lot of power. Well, imagine Tesla's in Reno already. So imagine your bill passes like you're saying,
Starting point is 00:36:27 and then Tesla uses a Bitcoin within its community. Forget having a Tesla coin or whatever that. They'll just use the Bitcoin as that. I mean, it's interesting as shit. It's very interesting. So I'm just hoping that we'll survive that whatever correction that'll end up happening. Save your money or invest it.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Invest in assets is probably the most important thing. Yeah, saving might not even be that smart. That's saving, yeah, which kind of sucks. Yeah, yeah, anyway, I'm gonna take a left turn here and talk again about health and fitness. So the study came out that a lot of people were sharing with me. That showed that older adults with higher BMI's actually had better health than older adults with normal or higher BMI's actually had better health than older adults
Starting point is 00:37:06 with normal or lower BMI's. So, in other words, you know, BMI, body mass and then factoring in people's muscle. So, here's, this is exactly what I was saying, right? So, in this study, they showed that people who are normal weight and then gained some weight as they got older didn't become obese, but became a little overweight, had better health overall than people who maintained
Starting point is 00:37:27 the ideal BMI as they got older, or whose BMI went down. Now, of course, my retort to that is that it's muscle, right? And one of the worst things you could do as your older, being super overweight, really bad, being underweight is almost worse. Being underweight oftentimes indicates high risk of injury, fragile illness, that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:49 And this just goes highlights again why I hate BMI so much, because it doesn't mean much when it's just weight on the scale. No, it's just an easy way to sort of like farm people into a category, like really quickly. Like, oh, you have like two high of numbers, so therefore you need to go through this clinic and take these pills. It's terrible because all three of us I think are on the obese category. Oh at least I got phone calls. I got bullshit. What? So as you guys just do they're trying to get me in some obesity clinic. What?
Starting point is 00:38:25 What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? it? Kaiser dude. That was terrible. Bro, a fucking doctor didn't look at me. No, he did it all on that. I swear it is. You weighed yourself and then you got a phone call from that. Yeah, I'm a trainer. I got a follow up. Like dude, I'll send you a nude right now. Yeah, that's that's it. It just, it just goes, it was so like blatantly obviously.
Starting point is 00:38:38 They didn't even like, you know, have any kind of, like, they didn't even look like with their eyes and like kind of discern whether or not my health markers match what I actually look like. You're all, I'm just thick, okay? I'm just thick, but don't believe what Adam's doing. I'm just heavy on the bottom part. What are they, so whether they try to say to you,
Starting point is 00:38:55 hey, we got these obesity classes, we can get you to sign up for it. Oh yeah, no, it was like when those automated things are like sign up for this obesity clinic there, is like San Teresa. You know it would be funny, though, it's for you to actually like obesity clinic there, is like a Santorisa, you know. You know it would be funny though, it's for you to actually go in there, like, with a camera and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:39:08 and go through the whole process. It was shit of. It would be funny. Go in there and do some like Turkish get-ups. That's all that stuff. Yeah, can a fat person do this? Oh, yeah. Anyway, no, but I mean, it's, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:18 with older people too, you gotta think about this. Even if it's a little more body fat than normal, you know, one of the things that kills older people is when they get injured or ill and they have to go to the hospital, their health declines tremendously. Having a little bit of extra weight is a little bit of, it's like insurance.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Because if you're really skinny or whatever, you go to the hospital, you're not eating much. You see the health decline tremendously. I saw this with some of my older clients. I know you're the one that shares all the articles because you can remember. I don't remember where the hell I read this, but I did read that you're starting to see more and more like and sports teams that are getting away from the rice method. Oh, yeah. Something that I feel like that we have.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Yes, the ice compression elevation. Yes. Yeah, it's so ice in particular. It's funny, I was reading about the same thing a few days ago. Ice in particular, constricts blood vessels and reduces blood flow. Actually, slows down healing and recovery. Right. So you need the blood flow. You actually, if anything, you want more blood flow to happen. So you know the Juve light that we use?
Starting point is 00:40:23 Yeah. Great. That's a great the Juve light that we use? Yeah. Great. That's a great tool to use for that. It's actually been shown because it does penetrate deeper than the skin. The light causes increased blood flow. So, if you put it on an injured area, you speed up recovery. Ice, not a good idea. Ice is good for pain relief.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Well, yeah, I was going to say there's going to be a difference between an acute injury or something that's immediately swirls up and you know, you got to try and like you know prevent that from getting out of control. So it still makes sense right for some of your you know professional athlete you've got let's say so many times in the NBA you could run a game back to back or at least a game within two days right. And you you swell up your knees swell up so bad from playing and you're they're this big right. And so it limits the term right limits your range of motion and you got to run it back you swell up, your knees swell up so bad from playing and they're this big, right?
Starting point is 00:41:05 And so it limits the term, right? Limit your range of motion and you gotta run it back in two days, icing to bring down the inflammation so you can move again. I see the value still at the professional level for that person, but the average person who's just looking for optimal recovery, it's not the most ideal thing.
Starting point is 00:41:23 It actually gets in the way. Yeah, and you know what, that's a good point because short term, there's a different strategy than long term. Do I want to feel and recover better or do I need to feel better right now? Right. So I could play this sport.
Starting point is 00:41:34 That's the same thing with post workout ice baths. So if you're doing double days, then it makes sense to do an ice bath after the first workout so that you can do the second workout. But if you're just a regular person and you work out five days a week and you're trying to build muscle and get better shape, ice baths can actually reduce the muscle building signal that you may send from your workouts. Now ice baths on their own might have some other health benefits, so you have to kind
Starting point is 00:42:02 of weigh that out. But it would be cool to see. I mean, you saw that Juve was in with the Niners training facility. And I would love to see that happen, not just on the pro level, but make its way into the high schools. And you know, and they all start kind of adopting that instead. Well, so Jessica, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:18 so stretch marks are largely genetic. Yeah, so this way I could train I was using it too. Oh, yeah. So largely genetics. So if you're the kind of person that gets stretch marks, then you're probably gonna get stretch marks when you're pregnant, okay. Now Jessica, she had, she's, I thought, we both thought,
Starting point is 00:42:34 oh, you might be the type to get stretch marks as she went through puberty, she had a few. And like if I were, I got stretch marks very easily, I got them just from working out. So it's in my genes also, but she used the Juve light a few days a week while she was pregnant. Zero. Not a single stretch mark she got from the pregnancy.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Yeah, I continued it too. And she went beyond her due date. So that's usually like, if you go beyond your due date, you're much more likely to get those to get stretch marks. Yeah, do you guys see that transition? Sorry, 6,000 employees that are trying to get together in Alabama to start a union with Amazon?
Starting point is 00:43:10 Oh, really? Yeah. Really, all over the pandemic, what happened in the pandemic? You had a bunch of employees that felt like they were being a, I read the article too, like originally I was like abused, what is it? It's like they were being told that they were being,
Starting point is 00:43:24 they got in trouble for not being six feet apart in areas that they could have been six feet apart. They had bosses that, damn companies with rules. I know, when I read all the things that they had listed off for why they're trying to unionize, I was like, come on dude, this is like what was supposed to be so bad,
Starting point is 00:43:41 because I don't know if you guys heard, there was a lot of like uproar about Amazon treating the employees like so bad and was so terrible and you had a bunch of people that were tweaking. I think it's super intense to work there. Like the hours are crazy. Like you have to like get stuff out. Like could we be, we are a bunch of pussy.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Well, I mean, it is crazy. Look, I mean, that's the general consensus I have. I have empathy if you have a job and it's hard, and you know, but, you know, here's a deal. You can always quit and you can always try to work with someone. And you hear the beauty of living in a free place like we do is that you're choosing to work there.
Starting point is 00:44:17 And yes, I understand sometimes circumstances are tough, but usually those circumstances are created by you. So if you're, if you're limited in your choices, it's usually because of your choices that you made with your employment or your education or whatever. And I mean, just quit. If these people, and there's nothing, I don't have a problem with unionizing,
Starting point is 00:44:37 so long as it's voluntary. Sometimes what they'll do is they'll then the company will say, you have to join a union. And then you start to run into some issues. So I have no problem with that, but I mean, good luck. Trying to go be interesting to see how they handle that. Yeah, I'm curious. It just came out, so we'll see what happened.
Starting point is 00:44:55 I don't know if they'll be successful or not. Hey, I wanted to talk about, because I know in the past we've talked about collagen protein and how if you're eating a very high protein diet, probably no additional benefit from having collagen protein, which I'll touch on, but I will say this, so we work with paleovali, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:13 We've had their, we love their meat sticks, that's the thing that we eat the most from them. I got one of them. But they make a bone broth protein, and we've had it in the back for a while, and I have not tried it for the longest time. Well, none of us do for that exact reason. I thought it was kind of a waste.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Yeah. Well, so a couple things. One, it's even for me, I oftentimes miss that super high protein amount. It's just not easy, right? That means I would have to eat 180 grams of protein today. It's not super easy for me to do that. And for most people to eat that amount of protein, where it's 0.8 or 1 gram per pound consistently, most people miss it. Let's just be honest. If you're missing it, then it does offer benefits for skin, hair, nail, that kind of stuff, to supplement with something like bone broth protein or collagen protein. Okay. So my challenge or a question I have about that then is, but we know that way is better still. So if I have an option where I'm gonna, let's say I'm under, okay, let's, I'm like you
Starting point is 00:46:10 182 undergrounds what I need. So why not just go away? Right, I'm 160, right? So I'm at 160 for the night. I'm like, oh shit, I need to get some extra protein in. I've got the option to go try a bone broth protein or I have my way. I'm better off getting my way. So here's, so in, in some cases, I'd say in a lot of cases you're probably right, here's
Starting point is 00:46:28 why a bone broth or collagen protein may be of benefit. Gut issue? By far the easiest protein you'll ever have to digest, ever. It's literally, it's almost like you're drinking water, there's no nothing, it's just so easy on the gut, much, much easier. Now, their bone broth protein, unflavored. So when you mix it, it tastes kind of like bone broth, but it's very, very mild.
Starting point is 00:46:52 There's nothing in it except for that. And you guys know me. I guess any protein, if I have too much powder, it can bother me. Not at all. So easiest I just throw it over. So it makes sense for that. But the whole pitch about it, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:04 being great for your skin and hair and nails and all that stuff like that, if you, like, let's, again, let's go back to that scenario. I don't have gut issues or not, like I'm not as intolerant to way like you are. I can do it at least a day, one at once a day or whatever. So, am I getting the same hair, skin, and nail benefit taking the way as I am with that?
Starting point is 00:47:23 You probably would, unless your amount is super high because of the high hair, skin, and nail benefit taking the way as I am with that. You probably would, unless you're amount of super high because of the high amounts of specific amino acids in bone broth and in collagen that you don't get in the way. Now the reason why way is so amazing for recovery and muscle building is because it's so high in the branching amino acids. Collagen and bone broth protein are not very high in branching amino acids, but they are very high in other amino acids like proline and some others that are have those those collagen boosting benefits Now I imagine to another benefit of the bone broth. I think I don't know. I would think that it's cheaper. Is it cheaper? You know, that's a good question. We get it for free
Starting point is 00:48:00 But I would imagine it's probably not super. Now there's a difference between bone broth protein and collagen protein. Bone broth protein contains collagen in it. Collagen protein is where they go through more processes to just get the collagen from it. So bone broth protein is the least processed form of that kind of protein. So it's just literally the bones broken down,
Starting point is 00:48:24 boiled, whatever dried, here kind of protein. So it's just literally the bones broken down, boiled, whatever dried, here's your protein. So it's very, very minimally processed type of protein. Interesting. Mm-hmm. Shhh. Quee-claw. I'm going for everything.

Starting point is 00:48:57 It's the motherfucking ball. An eagerness landed! Quee-qua- First question is from Abel J. Flores. It's often said that muscles have memory. Can the same be said about fat cells? If so, what does that process look like in terms of time? If a person has lost a significant amount of fat
Starting point is 00:49:19 from a healthy nutrition and exercise lifestyle? You can kind of say this. That's a great question, right? It is a cool question. My fat room is a lot. If you, well, I mean, so you can make the case for it because how you add fat cells. Yeah, so we should talk about that.
Starting point is 00:49:33 So now, first off, muscle memory is interesting, right? You build muscle, muscle fibers grow. You increase the amount of satellite cells that are there. Muscle then shrinks as you stop working out. Satellite cells don't go away. So the build back that muscle the second time around, much faster, and it's actually quite crazy. It took me such a long time to get my body mass up
Starting point is 00:49:54 to 200 pounds working out as a kid. Now if I stop working out, dip below 200 pounds, I work out, I'd be back up there within a couple of months. It took me long, long, long time. Now with fat, it's interesting, right? So you gain body fat, typically the fat cells grow, you lose fat, the fat cells shrink,
Starting point is 00:50:10 the fat, the memory of the fat cells, it hasn't been proven like it is with muscle. However, thinking the behaviors that we tend to get addicted to or that we tend to get used to when we gain body fat, when you lose fat, you change those behaviors. And this is when people talk about set point, like weight, set point. When you lose weight, it's very hard
Starting point is 00:50:30 to permanently change your behaviors. And so you tend to go back to your old behaviors and gain the fat. So in that case, I would say there's what the memory is. Now, it's not the same as muscle memory, but I'd say that's where the memory is, is where if you've eaten a particular way, lived a particular way, that makes you weigh 180 pounds, let's say, and then you lose 40 pounds within a few
Starting point is 00:50:50 months, it's hard to stay to that new lifestyle because you live for so long the way you did before. So that's probably what's causing you to gain the weight back again. Well, not only that, every time we gain the weight back, we also add fat cells, and they don't disappear when you lose fat, they shrink. Yes. So then the amount of total fat cells, and of course it's a lot more than 100, but pretend you have 100, you are you, and then you lean down, they shrink.
Starting point is 00:51:15 That's what makes you lean down and look that way, right? But they're still there. Then you, let's say you fall off the wagon, you go back, you blow back up, you add 30 pounds. Now you add 20 more fat cells. Now you go, okay, I'm back on the wagon, you drop down again, you still have 120. Now this really, now there's studies that show
Starting point is 00:51:35 that this happens, but really it won't so far. When you extreme diet. Yes, it's when you go, when you diet down real hard, and then you go way opposite direction. Which, I would make the case that majority of people do. Well, so especially people who compete in like bodybuilding or bikini, because they'll do this 12 or 14 or 16 week diet.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Well, even the crash diet thing. Yes. Yes. So a lot of people that will lose 100 pounds because they're really just like starving themselves and it's from these like a fad things. Yeah, so to use the example of the competitor, you go 16 week diet, you get super shredded for your show, your bikini competition,
Starting point is 00:52:12 and then you're done with your competition, and you gain back 20 or 30 pounds within a matter of weeks. By the way, I'm not making this up. I've seen this with my own eyes. People literally gain women who hit the stage at 115 pounds, gain 20 something pounds in a month or two. Okay. So that fast weight gain, what your body does is it adds fat cells in the theory is that your body is trying to figure out a way to capture more of this energy, right? You dropped your calories, your metabolism probably crashed.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Now you're eating like crazy, you're doing all the cheat meals, and your body's like, I need to figure out a way to be more efficient at capturing all this energy. They aggressively responds because it thinks it's in famine. Yeah, so you add fat cells to your body. You do that enough times, and this is why competitors will find that it's harder to get sharp for each show. They'll be like, oh man, it was so easy for me to get super ripped and look really good,
Starting point is 00:52:59 but now I've done five shows in the last year, and each time it gets harder and harder, I don't know what's going on. You might be adding fat cells to your body. And like Adam said, they probably don't go away. So you add a bunch of fat cells and now it's way harder to get lean the second time around. And that's from that extreme cycle.
Starting point is 00:53:18 So if you're listening and you do the cut and the bulk, but it really looks more like crash diet and the next stream bulk. You might be doing that to yourself. I think a majoring people do. I think it's more common than it is the other way where somebody is really good about, oh, they lost the weight and then they've slowly let weight come back with a theory. It comes back with a theory because most people crash diet.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Most people go on some radical new change. I'm going to try the carnivore diet this month. I'm going to try the vegan diet this month. They reduce calorie significantly. They run it for a month, two months, maybe even three or longer, and then they go fuck this. I'm going back to what I was doing before, and when they go back to doing it before, it's always way more efficient. It takes way more discipline. Totally. Yes. Yeah, yeah. That's that is such a mental block that a lot of people just well, I just wanna go,
Starting point is 00:54:05 like, because when you have that motivation, you wanna go and get to your destination as quick as possible. And so a lot of people just make these compromises and they get to that place, but they didn't do it in a healthy way. That's gonna last. I would make the case that there's less competitors. This happens to the actual average people
Starting point is 00:54:20 because at least some competitors are privy to this. Not all of them know, but I mean, if you follow like a Lane Norton who's been touting this. Not all of them know, but I mean, if you follow like a Lane Norton who's been touting this for a long time, you're aware of this and it's become more popular to, you know, reverse diet. And that reverse dieting concept has come from the competing world.
Starting point is 00:54:38 That's not in the average person does not talk about reverse dieting. The average person does not lean all the way out and then get shredded and go, oh, I need to slowly reverse back. No, it's the, and this is a psychological phenomenon, right? It's the all or nothing approach. And it's like this, we've all experienced this, right? I'm on a diet and the diet says, I can't eat carbs,
Starting point is 00:54:57 let's just say, I can't, I'm on a keto diet, I can't eat carbs. So I follow that for a while, I lose weight because cutting my carbs has cut my calories and now I'm down 30 pounds. And then I, you know, I go on a weekend or I go on a while, I lose weight because cutting my carbs has cut my calories and now I'm down 30 pounds. And then I go on a weekend or I go on a vacation and I see, no, I'm gonna have a little bit of carbs. But now because I've had carbs, I'm off the diet,
Starting point is 00:55:14 I'm off keto. And then it's like the floodgates are open. It's not like I'm gonna have a little bit of carbs and then go back to where I was before. It's like, I've already broken the rule. I've already stepped over the line. I might as well go nuts. So when I've trained people,
Starting point is 00:55:29 or you know, who've done these types of diets, they almost never gain way back slow. It's always this quick. Well, weight gain. There's another part to that that, this is what I have to talk to clients a lot, is you gotta be very careful because the day after, and even the couple days after,
Starting point is 00:55:44 all these extra calories don't seem to make a bad effect on your body, right? They not at first, right? Yeah, at first you go, holy shit, I drank last night and I had Jack in the box and I woke up and I looked better today than I did yesterday. That happens, this happens, right? Because you've been on the science behind what's going on
Starting point is 00:56:03 is your glycogen levels are so depleted. So your muscle bellies are that flat look. So you've sucked out all the carbohydrates in there and because you're so low calorie. Water. Yeah, and water, and then all of a sudden, sodium goes up,
Starting point is 00:56:16 carbs go up, calories go up, it fills all the muscle bellies up first before it gets over spilled into storing body fat and actually fills you out, so then you actually look better for a day or two, and that psychologically messes up a lot of clients because they go, oh shit, I can get away with this. Then before you know it,
Starting point is 00:56:33 there are two, three weeks deep into over-consuming. Even this, often times, especially with drinking, you'll drink, and then the next day, you'll wake up lighter. Dehydrate. Dehydrate. And by the way, your body doesn't just produce body fat on your body instantaneously. It takes like a week.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Yeah. So oftentimes the weight gain happens a few days later. Right. But we look at the next day, we weigh ourselves on the scale. Totally. Next question is from Kimclothcorn. What are the benefits and disadvantages of different types of pull-ups, such as traditional pull-ups, chin-ups, wide grip, etc.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Is one style superior? Yeah, so just because exercises have the same name, like front squat, back squat, right? Split stance squat, just because they're all considered kind of in that category of pull-up, wide grip, close grip, supinated grip, pronated grip, whatever, doesn't make them the same exercise at all. Now they're similar, but really think of them as different exercises. It's a different recruitment pattern. The muscles will be used differently.
Starting point is 00:57:31 You're going to use the LATS more and one version versus another, the Terras major or minor more versus one other biceps more, one way versus the other. It's just different recruitment patterns, different exercises. And yes, they're similar because you're doing that pull-up motion and you're working the muscles a similar way, but they are all very different. So they all have value. Now, here's what I tell people with pull-ups
Starting point is 00:57:53 is do the ones you have the best mobility for the most, and then slowly practice the ones you have bad mobility with and get good at them. And typically what that looks like is, for the average client, is some kind of a, maybe shoulder width grip, pronated or supinated grip, depending on the person, some people are better pronated, other people supinated, start there,
Starting point is 00:58:15 and then you can start to play with the wider grips. The wider grips require more stability and more mobility. And for some people, it takes a long time to be able to get to the point where you could do a wide grip pull up and then not kind of hurt your shoulders, your body. Well, my response to clients is to do the one that you do the least. If you never do neutral grip
Starting point is 00:58:34 or you never do supinated grip, that's the one. That one has the greatest potential for change for you. If you do a overhand traditional grip all the time when you do pull ups, that has the least amount of potential for change. So if you're looking for change in your body, which is most people, most people are training to change their aesthetics one way or another, if you're looking for the greatest change, then the thing that you do the least or never do is going to provide that, that stimulus
Starting point is 00:58:59 because your body's not used to it. So it has the greatest potential for change. If you do the same stuff all the time, now if your goal is to get really good at pull-ups and you have a competition with a friend on how many you can do, then sticking to one style is what's in your best interest. Some are great for if you're trying to really
Starting point is 00:59:19 target a specific muscle group and get more lead activation or get, hit the biceps a little bit more. Like more of like a narrow grip and you know, supinated grip, something like that. I wanna focus a little bit more on my biceps. I'll tend to lean more in that direction, but yeah, to Adam's point, I do tend to wanna work on things
Starting point is 00:59:36 that I'm not as efficient at, because then, you know, my body will have to really work again, which then promotes, you know, a whole nother cascade of benefits towards my other list. Yeah, I guess we can argue that a kind of a shoulder width grip is probably gonna work the last more through a full range of motion, because you get more for stretch at the top.
Starting point is 00:59:56 It's more of a direct pull on the body, but I've done wide grip and really felt it in my last. From a functional standpoint, this is where people start to, this is where I have fun with the argument. It's like, okay, which pull up is best for functional strength. Well, I would imagine, I would guess that it's probably some kind of a pronated grip pull up because if I'm pulling myself up on a ledge, my hands are probably facing in that way. I can't think of a way where I would. You can't scoop your hands behind something, like if it's just a random object,
Starting point is 01:00:26 you usually have to like put your fingers over the top. Now most people are stronger with a supinated grip where the palms are facing back, and that's just because there's a little bit more bicep. But I, for a while, I practice pronated. And to the point now where I'm actually stronger, pronated, so if I do a pull, if I'm doing any weighted, pronated,
Starting point is 01:00:44 or neutral grip, I can lift more than I can. Neutral grip. It is my favorite. I love that the most. But again, that's feeding my own itch. It's one of those things, too. If I like having everything in tight, too, I press and try and get that spiral line with my overhead press. And it's just one of those things that kind of, it's another addition to that that complements it well. Well, that's going to be the most advantageous for your shoulders, right? Your shoulders are in the most optimal position
Starting point is 01:01:07 in a close kind of neutral grip. You go wide and stuff like that, you're a little more compromised. So it's back to Sal's original point, which is, you know, if I'm talking to a client that is limited because of their shoulders or something like that, a wide pull up is probably more danger way there.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Yeah, it's more dangerous than a neutral or a supinated type of grip. I think your shoulders and a much more favorable position. And here's a little side note, pull ups for low reps are phenomenal. I love it for sure. I mean, add weight around your waist. Really good at that.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Super, super underrated exercise that a lot of people don't do. Oh yeah, get five reps, put some weight around your waist, do five reps for pull up. Watch what happens to your back. A lot of people just don't even think about that. They think, oh, it's body weight, so I'll just keep doing reps. Try reps for pull up. Watch what happens to your back. A lot of people just doing and think about that. They think, oh, it's body weight, so I'll just keep doing reps.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Try low-rep pull up. Super demanding. Next question is from Bauer physical culture. What do you think of functional body building programs? What is this now? It was a new name for everything. I know. I'm assuming what they mean is a body building
Starting point is 01:02:01 kind of aesthetic focused program that also places some emphasis on making you mobile and functional. Because body building is- Are you being mass-reformance? Yeah, it can't be that pathetic. Yeah, I mean, this is... Well, I mean, this is... When we wrote all the maps programs,
Starting point is 01:02:17 I mean, here's a time... Let's make this clear, because I know our audience, not everybody's on the private form where we discuss things like this whole time. When we wrote all these programs, they weren't designed to like, you can't ever deviate from them. They're designed so you go through them.
Starting point is 01:02:30 When we tell everybody, like, follow it to a tee at least one time. After you do that, if you, especially if you own multiple, they're very moldable and you can take things that you think your body needs more of from one program than the other. And an example of this functional body building program literally looks like Maps aesthetic is the programming.
Starting point is 01:02:49 And instead of focus days, you run mobility days. And then you literally have functional body building right there. Yeah, because one of the benefits of body building are it's great for connecting to individual muscle groups, so mind the muscle connection. Nothing beats body building, right? It's very aesthetic focused, meaning you can sculpt and shape your body, kind of like a sculptor with body building type programs,
Starting point is 01:03:13 more so than you can with other resistance training type workouts. Now, what are the drawbacks of training that way? You do lose some of that functional ability, because you're so focused on sculpting the body from a visual standpoint. You don't focus as much on movement. You might not have the same functional ability as someone who goes to the gym and says, and say it works out more like a strong man or more like an athlete.
Starting point is 01:03:36 They're going to just have more that strength translate to the real world. Here's why I think, for the average person, functional bodybuilding, I don't even know that term existed, but let's just, from what we're saying here, here's why I think functional bodybuilding is the best way for most people to work out. Number one, because most people want those aesthetic changes, but number two, the functional component, prevents injury, and here's my argument.
Starting point is 01:03:59 If you improve your mobility, you'll make the bodybuilding exercises more effective anyway, right? So if you're, you know, you're doing your barbell rows, your overhead presses and your barbell squats and that's part of your bodybuilding routine, does improving your range of motion, your mobility, and those exercises make those exercises build your shoulders, your back, and your legs better? Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:04:20 So functional bodybuilding is probably, if you just want to build your aesthetics That's the way you should do it to really maximize the effect of those Army wonders if if you could just categorize it as like full range of motion emphasis like with like hypertrophy style training So like it just I feel like some of that gets lost when you get Really focused on machines and and really trying to get the squeeze and the pump and you're not quite as focused on full body type, you know, compound lifts. Well, yeah, what's hard about that is that most bodybuilding exercises are sagittal playing.
Starting point is 01:04:54 So, you're not doing a lot of, and you're not doing a lot of, you know, lateral work, you're not doing a lot of, not a lot of rotating. Yeah, so that's, I mean, I love this. This is actually, okay, it kind of how I run most of the time because I love bodybuilding training. I just, I, I, out of us three, I probably gravitate to that the most. So I typically do that, but I also have seen the tremendous
Starting point is 01:05:18 benefit of training mobility because there was a while there where I was all about that, where all of my training looked more like match performance and mobility focus or even prime and prime pro. So I like to do a hybrid. I love to train most of the time like a body builder, but then I know the importance of integrating all these mobility type of drills in there and what it's done for me. So I would say this is exactly how I train right now. I just don't have a term for it. I just call it, you know, map-susthetic meets our maps performance.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Next question is from Paula Angela. What are your big four supplements? It's going to be hard for a sal. Yeah. Narrow down to four. Can we make a big twin? This could be an hour conversation. No, you know, I'll tell you what. So here's the criteria that I would say for big four. These are the supplements that most people would benefit from. So that's that I would say for big four. These are the supplements that most people would benefit from.
Starting point is 01:06:05 So that's where I would say that. Because I could make the argument that if you supplement for your needs, well, then that's the most important. So if you lack vitamin D, vitamin D is going to be in your big four. If you lack magnesium, magnesium is in your big four. So I'm going to speak more generally to what most people will benefit from.
Starting point is 01:06:22 And one of the number one supplements is going to be creatine. speak more generally to what most people will benefit from. And one of the number one supplements is gonna be creatine. Criatine is beneficial, not just for strength and performance. It's also beneficial for health, heart health, brain health, mitochondrial health. You're starting to see it now in wellness supplements. You're starting to see now that they're trying to supplement
Starting point is 01:06:41 elderly with creatine because it prevents muscle wasting and improves cognitive function. So creatine has got to be one of those supplements, and it is, it's one of those supplements I recommend to everybody. I don't recommend the same dose for everybody. I think if you have a lot of muscle mass, you're taking closer to five grams a day,
Starting point is 01:06:58 if you're my aunt, and you don't really lift weights that much or even work out that much, then I'm telling you to take like one or two grams a day. But creatines gotta be one of the tops. So I have three right away. So for me, it's a protein powder, creatine, and vitamin D, or the three that I most consistently use. And you make the point of like, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:18 if you're lacking in that, obviously, for whoever it is, but I would make the case that I saw, I thought I saw a survey or study on the percentage of people that lack vitamin D. It's over 50%. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, so I mean, that's going to be most people, right? But of course, find out if you are before you take that advice. Vitamin D, for me, is a staple every day.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Creatine right now, I'm taking every single day. And almost every day, I would say every other day or every couple of days I'm using weight. Now, that is just because weight or I bounce between that and the vegan protein. So, but that is only because I'm not meal prepping right now and I'm not getting all my food or all my protein through whole foods.
Starting point is 01:08:02 When I'm really, really good, I actually don't use protein powder that often, but it's just, I haven't been prepping like I used to prep. Yeah, to the vitamin D, triple of this, right? So I've been supplementing with between five to 10,000, I use a vitamin D a day for a while. And I also take cod liver oil,
Starting point is 01:08:20 which has got a decent amount of vitamin D in it. I went and got a blood test recently for vitamin D because I had one previously and I think, okay, I wanna test my vitamin D levels semi-regularly because I don't wanna take too much. It's a fat, soluble vitamin, and too much vitamin D's not good for you either. I went and got tested,
Starting point is 01:08:37 and my vitamin D was at 45, like right in the middle. And I supplement with five to 10,000 every single day. That's crazy. It just goes to show you. Now, and I try to stay active, I try to, but here's a deal. I'm not outside that much. Most people aren't.
Starting point is 01:08:49 And I live in California. You live in a cold place. Go get your vitamin D levels tested. Low vitamin D, it's like a hormone. Screws up your hormone levels. Your immune system is shot. Ruins your, your, your, your, your, your causinxiety, sleep issues, lots of problems.
Starting point is 01:09:03 I've had clients who've had just all these health issues Got their vitamin D levels tested start supplementing with vitamin D gone all because they're a huge one That's the number one for me. Yeah, vitamin D. I have tried with cod liver oil as well And then you know way protein and creatine and then Let's see the last one was like it was a toss up probably between magnesium and zinc. Oh, can we count your sea allisers at night count? No, that's supplement. That's how I consider it.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Yeah, that's prescription. It's a tiger as the one that does the diphthamb. Oh, it's essential. Yeah. Here's the other one I'll add. Some kind of an omega-3 fatty acid. So, fish oil. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:41 I think fish oil has got a lot of value for the average person because our fatty acid intake tends to be pretty much off. It's got anti-inflammatory properties. It helps thin the blood. It's probably good for you. Now if you eat fish, do you need to take, you know, regularly, do you need to take fish oil? Probably not.
Starting point is 01:10:01 Do you know by chance, so I used to have a rule for how I would take my fish oil. And that was if I didn't get fish two to three times in the week I would take fish oil. If I had it two, three times in that week I wouldn't take it. Do you know what about, do you have any idea of like, I don't know if that's correct? Like if I should be eating fish only once a week and that's plenty to get enough of fish oil in there?
Starting point is 01:10:21 Or? You know what's interesting is that when you look at, and here's a problem with these studies, is they're all survey based or whatever. It's hard because they're not controlled, but it seems to be the more fish you eat the better. So like the people that eat fish a lot seem to have better health than people who eat fish,
Starting point is 01:10:39 you know, sometimes. And they seem to be better than people who eat fish rarely. So I would assume that fish oil, regular supplementation is probably a good idea. I can tell the difference when I take it. That's one of the supplements I take all the time. I take cod liver oil and I take regular fish oil because cod liver oil is not as high in the DHA and EPA.
Starting point is 01:10:59 So I take both. You know where I can see it more than anything is actually in my dogs. So whenever the dogs start to get skin issues or hair issues, I give them fish oil. I give them fish oil and within about three days it clears up. Their coat looks three times richer. Their hair starts to grow back in those places.
Starting point is 01:11:15 And it's quick. So I notice it a lot faster than myself. Like for me it's hard to tell if I'm like, oh did I feel better? Do I notice those things? I don't know so much. It's hard. But I could definitely see it in the dogs.
Starting point is 01:11:26 Like whenever that, I'm not disciplined enough to give it to them all the time. A lot of times I'll notice that I'll start to see something going on with their losing hair or something and then I'll do that. And then I notice that. Now what do you do? You open the capsules and I pour it on their dogs.
Starting point is 01:11:38 Oh, they probably love that. Yeah, because they smell a fish, right? So they won't eat the pill by itself, but if I crack it open and then I pour it all over it, then they'll eat it. By the way, here's a little trick. Some people when they take fish oil, they don't eat the pill by itself, but if I crack it open and then I pour it all over it, then they'll eat it. By the way, here's a little trick. Some people will only take fish oil. They don't like the, they'll kind of taste it afterwards or whatever. Here's a trick, very easy, freeze them. Throw them in the freezer. Yep, take them frozen in there. You don't get that anymore. Oh,
Starting point is 01:11:57 interesting. And it's probably better to do something to do with lemon or something. I heard like citrus. No, they make some, they make some that are like, like, whatever. Yeah, they make the ones, so I have one specifically for the dogs that are supposed to be bacon flavored, but they still smell like fish. Yeah, it's like a nasty burp, dude. It is, yes. And you probably, and you probably a good idea to freeze them anyway because it's going to go bad.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Well, I was going to ask you, so if you freeze it, then it doesn't change how it ends up getting digested and then broken up. It just keeps it longer, I would say. Yeah, I would think it takes a lot longer. And again, fish oil, it's a food, so it'll go bad. So if you keep your fish oil in your cabinet and it's like all the time, here's a test. Take when your fish oils poke it with a pin or something,
Starting point is 01:12:38 smell it. It smells. Branson. Yes, then your fish oil's bad and you gotta buy new one. I wonder how long does it stay good for then at decent amount of time Yeah, but sometimes they'll they'll pack a jump and then have them in storage forever And then you get them shipped to your house and I need and thought and it's one of those supplements too that it does It stays in my house a lot longer than because I'm not taking it every single day
Starting point is 01:12:57 So you refrigerate them or freeze them. Okay, so I do and then I agree with you guys on protein Higher protein intake it tends to make people leaner. It helps with appetite, of course, it helps with muscle building, that's a fact. So I would say protein powder is one of those. And again, and just like you said, at a, use it when you're not hitting your protein numbers. Of course, that being said, most people don't hit those.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Well, that's how I am with all of the, the only one I'm not is creatine. Because creatine is really hard to get that additional like three to five, right? Because I think I forget how much stake pounds of, yeah, you have the pounds of stake to make the go over the RDA, I think, of like creatine, right? So that's not happening.
Starting point is 01:13:36 So creatine, I'm probably the most consistent when I'm lifting and I'm decided I'm gonna take it. But even the vitamin D, if we had a week where, like, you know, I have trips where I'm on a boat in the lake, like, and I am in the sun for six, seven hours every single day, I'm not taking vitamin D during that time. Like, so if there's times where I, or if I'm prepping my food and I'm hitting my protein,
Starting point is 01:13:53 I'm not using my way protein product those times. If I have a week where I'm eating mostly fish all week long, I'm not taking it to the next. So always, the goal is to go after all this stuff through whole foods, but the reality is, I would say those are probably, I created the big four. Here's a special mention.
Starting point is 01:14:08 I'll throw one in just for a special mention is a colon. Coling, there's some debate as to whether or not it should be an essential nutrient. A lot of people lack colon, women in particular benefit from having some colon and it helps with brain function and general health. Where do you get calling naturally? Egg yolks are the best source, but if you don't eat those on a regular basis
