So it looks like I'm doing your amazing stuff. Yeah, that's not really a day in a lot. That's, that's your real life, don't lie. It is. Well, this, I had a day in a lot of life. That's your real life. It is. Well, I had to talk about this. You guys believe it or not, it's more interesting than you guys think. I mean, it's not interesting to you. Like, Doug was like, I don't, you know, what do I do?

I'm like, I just, I'm working all day. I'm like, yeah, but that's interesting to people. Be Doug. Share what you are doing all day. So a lot of people think that it's a lot of him walking his dog. You know, it's a lot, it's but that's interesting to people. Be dug. Yeah, share what you are doing all day. So a lot of people think that. It's a lot of him walking his dog. You know, so it's a lot. It's a lot of stuff with Bella.

It's all he does. We're sitting in front of him. No, no, no, no, in the videos. Because he's always showing. By the way, that dog's adorable. That's the cutest little dog of all. Did you see that we were walking? She told me.

Because dug in passing conversation said the word vaccine. It got thrown up on my, yeah, get the warning and everything like that. And wow, they're listening to vigilant. Intently. Yes. He's talking and that we're walking of the other day when we're out getting sun. This episode's gonna say that now, right?

I know. Isn't that wild though? He'd be flagged. That he, all he said was vaccine. And it pops up the CDC warning, popped up. It wasn't even me, it was him in the back. What a weird time to be alive. Because you have on one hand,

you have countries and people that are in governments and nefarious groups that really try to pump in information to fuck with other countries, right? So let's say, for example, you know, which by the way, we do to other countries too. We do that too, right? So let's say, right, you're in a pan. way, we do to other countries too. We do that too, right? So let's say you're in a pan for being terrible. Thank you for being terrible.

I'm gonna create another scenario. You probably started that game, huh? Yeah. You're in the fucking playbook. So let's, I'm gonna create another scenario. Let's say that there's a pandemic and there's a vaccine that actually solves it and you're in another country that competes with this country

and you want them to succumb to it. Then what you do is you pump that country full of information about the medicine making people not want to use it. There's that, right? But then there's also the like, well, what if it's true? Like what if this is an issue or what about this? Or what, it's like, what a weird time, dude.

Well, I'm taking the Russian vaccine, I don't know about you guys. Are you really? You just want to see what it does. Look up in the morning with turning into a bear. Grizzly claws. Yeah. Roo. Riding a horse with no shirt on.

You guys ever seen that picture of Putin? Yeah. It's like the most, I'm not a Putin fan by the way, except for he does judo, which is kind of cool. He's a black belt. He's on a horse and he's riding it with no shirt on. He's like, fucking, you know, he's in a real photo or is it put a shot in the middle of time? No dude, it He's like, fuck it. You know, he's in a real photo.

Or he's a peacock in the middle. No, dude, it's a real, I mean, I'm sure he staged it. But he's actually on a horse riding it with no shirt on. Let me see this Douglas. Yeah, and then we have like, and then, you know, look at our presidents like, I know, he's a sleeper. Forgot, forgot who's the same. You gotta go wake him up.

Look at that, dude. I'm fucking manly. That's what I am. Look at that. That is pretty awful right there dude. And you're watching videos of him doing judo and shit like kicking people's asses. Was it any the head of the KGB at one point

or something where he worked on the KGB? Yeah there's a lot. Yeah. Now obviously in Russia he's revered right? I mean people love him right? I mean how did he get in? How does he keep winning? Right that's why I went out.

How does he stay in power? It's not, I think, from what I think, I know he won with a tyranny there. And then he's like, because he can't be the headguiny more, so he moved into another position, but he actually controls. I don't know, but there's arguments. People disappear, is what I know.

There's arguments that say, Can you school me on like Russian politics? Like how's it work over there? No, you don't know. Not much. Okay. But what I've heard is people say that it's not, it's the free is you think or is honest as you think

or whatever, I don't know. I thought they're one of the countries with one of the largest black markets, don't they? For what? Just all things in general, I thought. They, well during the Soviet Union, they had lots of black markets for everything. Yeah.

I had a friend. I had to had a, I'm curious about that. Especially like jeans, right? Like, ski vies, jeans and stuff. Largest black markets in the world. That's America, dude. We have the, do we? In terms of dollars, America. The largest black,

anything has to do with dollars, we cross. Really, because we're so free, I would think that's not true. I would think that, are we? Well, I mean, in comparison to other countries. In comparison to the countries we're very free. Depends on what you're talking about. See, there you go, easy. Highest number of black markets in the world, of course. Harrison to other countries and comparison to the countries were very free depends on what you're talking about see There you go easy the highest number of black markets in the world of course. We have the biggest amount of money in America

Does it say a big number top 10? Let's give it a big one. The next one is it right underneath it says top 10 countries largest black markets in the world Like China would think would be up there because we're double China looks like you saw double Yeah, China Mexico. Wow, Mexico, Italy. Yeah, but you saw a double. Oh, yeah, China. Okay. Mexico, Spain, Italy, Japan, Canada, India, United Kingdom, and then Russia. Russia's 10, yes, they're not that big. Yeah, I had a client that I trained that went to Russia,

his parents, for what they did, but they went there, and this was during, this was in the 80s, right? So this was during the Soviet Union was around and he's like man There were people were like behind the scenes offering me so much money for my Nike's Oh wow for my Levi's he's like there were black markets for like milk You know because otherwise if you wait in line for your milk and if you don't get it They have to create black markets to kind of crazy so messed up up. How do they, how do you think they measure that? Measure what?

Black markets. Like how, I mean, how do they know? That's true, huh? Yeah, like it's black. Yeah. It's not very black. If it's, if they, you know the number, you know what I'm saying?

They obviously have somebody in there that like, you know, is in the system. Yeah, but it's an estimate. It's like, like very general, not very precise estimate. I mean, come on. How do you like it's like the science stuff at them? Yeah, how do they know how old that tree is? That's why I got a point this stuff out I mean come on like people we just we read it we read it on Google and automatically like oh yeah definitely 600 billion there like Like it's a stat that was there probably because it's based off of the amount of drugs

that we catch and amount of stuff that we see that then they create an estimate, right? Well, maybe there's a formula like, I mean, we can't obviously track a lot of, we can track the legitimate money that's in circulation. And if we know the total amount of money is there out in circulation and you subtract that, maybe that's how there's got to be a logical method.

Well, they took down like that one website, the Silk Road, and that was a huge, it was generating a ton of money in the black market. So I'm wondering if maybe they're getting it and pulling it from a lot of those like a type of websites and getting their analytics. I know, but then what's the formula? 10X that, 7X that, 100X that, Like I mean, you just, yeah, making it right. So my guess, I'm totally, no idea, right? So maybe somebody much smarter than me can school me

right on this. I would think that we have an idea of how much total money is in circulation and what's trackable as far as paying taxes and stuff and then you would subtract that. I don't even think that's so hard. They don't have any clue. I mean, I feel like that's be the most accurate way. They don't know how much money's in circulation

How much is actually being used? They don't have they don't have big number and then they just don't yeah, they don't they don't know all that I think it's more like we estimate you have a dog in this fight Doug No, you have no he used to be a kingpin in the black market That's why I guess so many alias a big black market guy Out of all of us. He's the black market. Yeah. Have you bought any black market?

How do you do that? I mean, I mean, I'm intentionally, right? I mean, you could buy something unintentionally on the black truck. You know what? We're like stereo system or like your speakers. Oh, you know what? That did happen to me one time.

Yes, I see. I told you. I did. Yeah, that's probably bought some black market got, I got like bamboozled totally like, so the shitty stereo something. Yeah. So yeah, I was, and I was close by to, I was like a best buy and I was, I was driving by in this guy like approached me in the parking lot, of course, is like such a hustle. And he had the, the speakers that I wasn't even really interested in speakers, but I saw

them. And like he even played them and everything, and they worked really well. And he was like, I'm gonna give you these for like a fraction of the cost, whatever. And so I was like, nah, I'm not interested in whatever. I don't have money. And so he actually followed me to go to like the ATM, I pulled money out and then bottom thinking

I'd give it as a present to like my brother or whatever. And I didn't even Cross my mind that they were stolen their hot, you know like duh of course So I got hustled the same way. Did they work hold on a second were they good? They did work Yeah, they did work, but they they're totally stolen. Sorry. I got a good deal Fierce I got hustled where the guy said that he had to She bought the stereo system online and they sent him two. And he gave me the receipt of what it was,

showed me everything, it was the two, one was not box, the other one was box. And he's like, I'll give you this for like half the price. But some ridiculous, a couple hundred bucks for someone that was worth like a thousand, some dollars. And yeah, totally suckered me into it. And then I went home and plugged them in and it worked. Oh yeah, that was very sad.

Very very. Hold me. 20 is when I worked at Calvary McKee. Damn, you're in your 20s. When you find out, well, sh**, that kind of money where I can even afford to do that. He caught me coming out of work, headed my car in the parking lot and swung in and showed me like the stereo system. And I was, you know, probably gave it away to,

at that age, when you had like stereo systems in your car, so I had like three, 12. That was a thing back in the day, wasn't it? It's still a thing. I was thinking about getting something the other day. Well, hold on a second. Hold on a second. I don't see it as much.

It's not as popular. Well, because car CDs are the worst. Cars come now. Cars come take that bag. It is as we just were older and we hang out. You don't hang out a bunch of stuff. I don't think it's that big of a deal. Like it used to be because back back no, no, you know why? Because back then nice cars still have shitty stereo system. You had to put in this aftermarket. Now they come with pretty damn good system. I'm not like you would you know what? Yes and no. Like I mean, very luxury cars have always had nice stereo systems.

That's kind of, that's one of the typical things of the upgrade that you get when you buy a $100,000 car. But what I will agree with you is that like a Chevy truck now has Bose speakers. That's what I'm saying. Right. So, and like, but my, both are, I mean, we have the same truck, and I We all do now right though those stereo the stereo system. It sounds great. Yeah, now. I mean I still would prefer a little really Like a crazy like two tens two tens isn't like over the top You know, you'd be that guy where you hit the you turn on and I really vibrate I can hear now

No, no, that's when you go over that's over. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't even have it allowed music. I can't compete with this. I got a, what is it? Not the subwoofer tube, what is that called? Subdued. It was a cult sub tube, okay. And there was member, Fosgate Punch. Yeah, okay. That's a good brand. That was a good brand. That was a very good brand.

Well anyway, I went to the flea market and I saw one and was called Crunch. And it looked like, I've seen that. Straight from T. I thought it was, I'm like, any no me, do you know I'm always like, it's good to be. I bought my share of folk leaves. Did you?

Yeah. I wonder statistically, how much that actually, that actually works on people. Like when people brand things like similar to, but it's not exactly the same and it's like made to look, like these, your example, you just brought like, you weren't the only, it works enough. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

You obviously did it. I'm sure I'm guilty of doing it. I mean, shit, I think I've shared this before on, when I was a kid, my grandma used to send us clothes like every, I don't know, six months, I get a box of clothes. And it always had like Nike and all the name brand stuff on it. But later on as I got older,

I found out that she literally used to buy this from like a guy in the back of his BMW. He popped the trunk and then sell this stuff. And when you looked at the tags, it was Haynes. Like a Haynes t-shirt, but then it was like all Nike branding and stuff like that. So like that's when I was in high school. Nobody knew, don't you think?

Yeah, of course, no, kids didn't know. You know what I'm saying? And I didn't know any better. I didn't know until I got older and realized like, oh, Haynes doesn't make the shirts for Nike. I was raised on that shit, bro. Like remember, my parents are Sicilian, and they were poor.

Tampa Bay wasn't the Super Bowl champion. Damn it. That was my mom's favorite thing to do. Her favorite thing to do was to find the knockoff shit. She'd be like, oh, you like my grandma. Oh, you like Cheerios? Don't worry. Furios, they're really good, too.

They taste the same. Or whatever, right? No, my grandma was like, I do grandma was saying, exact same way. She almost like was competitive about it. Like she was all about, I mean, two of two in embarrassing fault too, right? I think I told you guys,

you gotta respect it though. I know. My grandma, I'll never forget this. We were in like marshals, right? Which is already discounted. Shit as it is, right? So you get like brands like guests when that was popular when I was a kid.

And my grandma would take me shopping, so I'm more excited. And she would go and she would take like the stickers off of like a- Oh, she was gangster like you. She would take the sticker price and put it on the other ones. And then when we get up there and they would go like,

oh no, that's like 60 dollars. She's like, no, it's not. And she would like, loud. Oh my God, bro, it was so embarrassing. And but, you know, at least five, five out of 10 times, they would just go, okay, okay. And just give it to her and then something.

No, my grandfather, my grandfather, who was like, you know, fresh off the boat, like, and he, obviously, he grew up very, very poor. We go to the grocery store. A couple of times I took him grocery shopping, he'd buy vegetables or whatever, which he used to always piss him off, because he grows his own.

He's like, he'd hate that he have to buy certain ones. Why didn't your grandma just want to eat what I grow? I got to grab her. He told me that he cuts those things off. Oh buy certain ones. Why didn't you grandma just want to eat what I grow? I got to grow it better. He've told me that he cuts it. Oh, no, no, bro, we were buying, I don't remember we were buying, we were buying, I don't remember what vegetable it was. And I put him in the bag and he goes,

whoa, what are you doing? And he takes it out of the bag and he pulls out a fucking pair of like scissors out of his pocket. He carries. And he's cutting the stems off. I'm like, what are you doing? No, no. And he goes, I'm not paying for the stem.

You know, you get away, you're not that way. I don't know. We were just saying like five cents. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Yeah, I didn't think of it too. Growing up, my mom would take us, this place called the bargain barn, right? And like she always prided herself on being thrifty,

but really, like now that I'd really, we were poor. Like, I didn't even realize it, but she would like, they would, you know, work their way around it, and so we're paying for everything by the pound. So you get in there and you just, you just, you just rummage through all this trash and shit. You know, like I'm like, finding all these toys and things

and you're trying to make weights so you're like cutting some of it up. Yeah, dude, I had no idea like that was like not a thing. Dude, I used to go with my dad to work sometimes at help him work, and then my favorite thing was to go to the dump with him after work, because if you did a job or he tore down stuff, we'd go to the dump.

You know why I used to like go in the dump? I'd always find something cool. That's the dump. I was, I found a ninja star one time at the dump. I mean, I swear to God, I found a mini bike. I found a syringe. It was awesome. Yeah. Some drugs were stolen up in it. Yeah, I mean, I swear to God, I found a mini bike. I found a syringe. It was awesome.

Yeah. Some drugs were stolen. You did? Yeah. I mean, I'll try that. Oh, whoa. I could feel that. No, we got a mini bike one time there at the dump.

My dad got away. I could fix this. We took a home fixed it, roar around. Sick. Oh yeah, it's a good time. You know, I did this girl. Her dad was like all about like fixing stuff of that. He used to.

So you hit in Santa's A, you guys should be aware of this. Like once a year, there's a time where you can, you can throw out like your big appliances that are broken or what that and the city will come pick it up. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget what the day is. I know it's talking about that. Right. And then you, you, you see all kinds of washers and dryers and barbecue pits and just all broken down like big pieces that people don't want to haul off

the dump and pay, the city will come pick it up. Well, he like schedules that day to go around town and like look at. Swoop up. Oh yeah, I had just bought my condo. It's a come-up thing. I had just bought my condo. Like, so I'm 20 something years old, real young,

and I'm dating this girl and her dad does this. And I was like, oh, I need to get a barbecue, but you know, I'm like living to paycheck, paychecks. I can't afford to get a barbecue yet till the next paycheck. And he's like, oh, I need to get a barbecue, but I'm like living to paycheck, paychecks. I can't afford to get a barbecue yet till the next paycheck. And he's like, oh, I don't know. I'll take care of you. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, you don't have to do that.

I'll get it next, shows up with this barbecue pit. And then like, works fine. I'm like, where did you get this? And then he tells me that. So I'm gonna try to throw away. Yes, I'm gonna try to throw away. All I had to do is a $5 part that he had to fix and then got it up and running.

You know that that's big business now, right? So people go on, I mean Craigslist or whatever now. And there's always people giving away stuff for free. If you come pick it up, I'll give it to you. And what people do, and this is like a big hustle now. And then actually people can make money doing this. They'll get free stuff and then they'll sell it again on Craigslist for a little bit of money.

Yeah, incredible. They'll come with their truck and their trailer and all. And I kind of ran into this because they'll, you'll agree on a price and then they'll come in and be Craigslist for a little bit of money. It's incredible. They'll come with their truck and their trailer and all. And I kind of ran into this because they'll, you'll agree on a price and then they'll come in and be like, oh, I got this much cash, you know. And then they're trying like hard, ball you. And I'm like, well, you obviously didn't bring enough. You know, like, well, I have the truck here, you know, like we can take care of this now. I'm like, we're gonna have to drive back.

And he's just like, what? Because that hustle always works for him. Yeah. Well, I'm so, I'm so expedient. Like, when I want to get ready, you're gonna have to drive back. And he's just like, what? Cause that hustle always works for him. Yeah. Well, I'm so, I'm so expedient. Like, when I want to get my, you'll get me, I don't give a fuck. Yeah, you would get me too. Now Jessica, she's like,

That's a principal thing for me. Did we agree on that and then go fucking. No, Jessica will literally sell something for dollars. Like literally, I'll be like, what happened to the, whatever, oh, I sold it for five dollars. Like really? You made five, okay, cool. But I don't, I'm so expedient, I'm like.

I mean Gary, Gary. This is how I found Gary Vee. Gary Vee was like, is the master at this with like, he's great. Garage sales. He has so many people have no idea the value of some of their jump that they've had. You can always make money.

That's why I love about that approach, you know? He just finds a way. Like, it was hustle these and they'll make money. It was so brilliant how you even show me. He walks over to these garage sales, literally looks up on eBay on his phone, what they sell for, wheels and deals, you know, $3 margin for himself,

and then, you know, does that all day long, collects, and then at the end of the day, he's got, you know, 20 different pieces of things that he's purchased, that he could sell for a $3 to $5 more than one. He immediately re-sells it. This is a tuning to it. Have you guys ever seen where they have storage units

in somebody or yours? Yeah, so what's the deal with that? So people that just abandon it? So what happens is, and you sign this when you get a storage unit, like if you don't pay your bill, I think I want to say it's 60 or 90 days afterwards. They'll cut the lock on it and put their own lock on it. So you lost your, you lost whatever's in there at that point.

So if you don't pay your bill first. Now how do they sell, do they sell the things in their piecemeal? No, no, no, no. They sell the lock. No, no, no, no, no. They sell the lock. So basically they lock it up and then they would, they have these like auctions where they auction off the way they do it, they raise it up.

But they don't let you go through it? They can't, you can't go through it. No one can walk in. You can look, you can look from the outside, all you want. Do the people that own it, look first and grab all the good shit? No, I don't, well, I can't speak for every storage unit.

I mean, if we, yeah, well, yeah, if you bought, I mean, there's gold bars in here, dude. Yeah, fuck on that. I'm sure every storage unit has their own poly. I mean, we've talked about investing in a storage unit before, right? If we had our own, we would definitely

rummage through it ourselves or pay someone to do that for us. You know, I think these big companies. You know, against the first. Have like kind of a standard process. And what that looks like, according to the show, like if you watched, I'd like to, I love that show. Like a watch. Oh, yeah, I love that show.

I've never seen it, but I still watch it all the time. I love that show. So they, yeah, they, So, they raise it up. They have X-Men in minutes for everybody to kind of peak at it. And then they close it back down and then the bidding starts. And then they just auction it off and then you go through it. And it's, but that's gambling, right? Because a lot of times people, these guys and girls

that go around it. Because sometimes it might look like the stuff on the front looks like shit, but there may be something expensive. Right. That's when you get a gold mine though, but a lot of times they over bid, because they see something, oh, they have a nice this, a nice that,

and then there's tons of boxes, maybe they have really nice stuff, and then it drives up, and then they end up getting dumb shit. Wow. Wow. Too bad, you know, the X-ray glasses don't exist, huh? Cause then you can see what's going on.

I believe in that, though. Dude, did you ever order the X-ray? don't exist, huh? Cause then you can see what's going on. I believe in that, though. That's a kid. Did you ever order the X-ray? Yeah, of course. I'd be like the little circles. Yes, yeah. Fucking a real ball. Didn't do anything.

Did you ever see that? No, I did. And the C-monkeys. Yes, dude. You know what I did have, though, that I thought was circle and I probably wore them for like a good year or two as a kid. You remember the kind of,

they're like almost like a rectangle, like frames and they had mirrors On the sides I think it's see behind you. Yes. I thought that was so cool. Yeah, do you guys remember those? You know the little spy stuff You can watch someone behind you if no, I did they had no value whatsoever And I don't think I have any functional reason why I think I worry Did you and beyond so I can be like this look in the other way and so it's all gonna be like, no, you're new. Hold up your hands, four.

Yeah, I knew that. Yeah, I knew that, man. So you never got extra glasses because when you read comic books in the back, it was always, I was a big comic book creator. Oh, I was a bit. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I know I was and of course I got them

so I could see people's bones, right? I was in like, sport, girls. I wasn't to look at people and other things. Yeah, not at all. It was an advertiser like that either. Yeah, exactly. Hey, and Lily, other things. Yeah, not at all. It was an advertiser like that either. Yeah, exactly. And really, that's how you get getting ready.

That's how they sell it. Really? Yes, dude. Comic books, I told you. Yes, no, they did not. Yes, they would. It'd be some lady you'd see her broader. Yeah, away.

I guess so you're the kids comic book that's how they sold it. Yeah, you're 13 year old, come on. I'm like, you're like, dude, I'm getting this. I mean, it's like Punisher Wardrobe. That's not how X-rays work by the way. That's kind of brilliant actually. I did not know they did that.

Yeah, dude. It was always bullshit. They can't get away with that now though, right? I don't know. They get away with a lot of crazy stuff these days. Now I have a question for you Adam, be honest too. Did you ever wear the glasses that they were just like a bunch of lines?

You know I'm talking about? No. You know I'm talking about no like they were you know I'm talking I well Justin has it in some of his yeah, I had some of those. Yeah, those stupid. Yeah, it was like What was it this deep deep space nine and Star Trek or had the guy from reading rainbow had those? Or I think a little tiny made those popular again did he I thought I came from like a music video back in the 80s That's what I think it came I all I, I, I remember it. It was Kanye. One of the Kung Fu gangs in a big trouble in little China. One of the greatest movies of all time, by the way.

Yes. One of them, there was a guy in there that wore them. Remember when, in the beginning, when they go kidnap the girl, the Asian girl with the green eyes, because they're so rare, that was the thing. Yeah. And, and then they're like, the kidnapter and they're driving away. You know, when the thugs, it was just likeugs that was just like you know that the Kung Fu guy.

Bro, can I just tell you what a great movie? It was the last time you guys watched that by the long time ago. So good. Every time I'm sick. Which hasn't been very much ever. That's when Ride in became a thing. It was before more of a combat and have Ride in. That's came from there too.

Yeah, no, you know what? We have no one's been sick here in a while, huh? Dude, it's been years since I've been sick. Yeah, we're trying to jinx us. I'm not saying. What do you think that is? Now have you always been that way? When I it's been years since I've been sick. Yeah, we've tried jinx us. I know, I know. What do you think that is? Now, have you always been that way? When I worked in the gym, I was sick.

It's because who are you around, dude? It's, be honest, not that many people anymore, right? Have you been around a lot of people? No, that's part of it, for sure. Yeah, I don't know. Like, it's just healthier habits, I think. I think I'm more conscious of that now. Really?

What are you doing? Well, you're suffering from anything I'm supposed to do. Well, now, I finally have you guys taking vitamin D regularly after we put it in here. I someone just asked me that on my stories. I get a lot more sun. I'm being a little bit more emotional. What, we more in touch.

I take regularly. That's about the only supplement I take every day. Vitamin D. You know what's made? It's a rotation now consistent for me. Actually, you were telling me, because you saw me take a bunch the other day. Every day I use the mellow. Yeah, mellow. I use it every single day. I am now right now. So I'm still waiting

for what I think my body's going to adapt to it and not see the same results from it and it hasn't happened. I drink that almost every single night right now because we're so deficient right in magnesium. I imagine that like taking it more frequently is probably a good thing anyway. So that's kind of how I've decided like well my body's probably lacking in it is why because I'm sure like so Katrina takes it and she's like oh yeah I felt like but she don't feel like I feel it. I feel it like and she sees it in me. She's like like I'll go to drink that she's like oh I'm not getting any tonight. You know, she knows right. Two milliliters?

Yeah, yeah. If I drink it and I'm in bed lights out and I'm in the dark, 30 minutes, I am definitely out hard and it's crazy how well it, but I have done this where I'm drinking it and yeah, it kind of mellows me up and then I watch TV and I'm doing some of that, then it doesn't work the same. It doesn't make you sleepy, it just makes you chill. Yeah, it does. No, I use it regularly, and now I've always,

not always, I'm sorry, for a long time, I've used magnesium supplements, very different. So I used to use the popular magnesium brands that you scoop into your water and you mix it and it fizzes and whatever. And from what I learned, your body does a shitty job, it doesn't absorbent very well. It's basically a laxative.

That's what you're taking when you do it that way. The magnesium that's a mellow apparently, I'm absorbing, because I can actually feel it. Even though I've always supplemented, or I should say, for a long time supplemented, yeah, with magnesium. I've been doing that to you, and Zank was another one that I've been pretty frequent with,

as well, and I felt like that made a difference. I must have been deficient. The last time somebody was sick was me, right? Last year, I would say. Yeah, that's last time I, huh? You were the last one I remembered. We thought you had the bid, did. I, and he didn't.

I, maybe, I still did. Yeah, I don't know. The whole testing thing was a little weird. It was weird. We did a kind of an experimental test, so, but I feel like that. Yeah, it's just how I was like, why are they doing this correctly? I have no idea. Nobody else is

Source right whatever keep testing me. Why do you got to keep doing that? Is it only once why so frequent? Yeah, this is all weird. Can we can we enter an accurate? Can we talk and speculate on this potential business venture that we might do? I know Doug hates when we do things like this, but I think that before it's finished and created, I think it would be neat to hear feedback from our audience, but so anyway, we have a partner, NCI, who we love, you know, Jason Phillips in his company, they've been working with.

And- Yeah, online coach certification. That's right, and we have a good portion of our audience, our coaches and trainers, or people that are aspiring to be coaches and trainers, maybe one of the most common DMs I get is questions around that we've got to a place now. And by the way too, like I saw somebody on,

I think Justin's page or something that was frustrated because they didn't get an answer from one of us and they DMed us. On average, I know I get the angry ones. I know, right. On average, we get 150 to 200 DMs every single day. We do our best to try and answer as many as possible. We have a customer service team,

that their job is to handle people like you in case you can't get through to one of us. So we made that promise a long time ago that we would try and answer everybody's question personally. It's just not feasible. It's not, it's impossible. And we still try anyways. But if you ever need anything,

you go to info at minepuntmedia.com, you can email them. Adam always answers the nude photos though. So if you send a nude photo to Adam, he helps, that's for the guys. Always answers. So anyways, we get lots of questions around trainers and I've had people offer me money to talk to me on the phone for a half hour to look at their business,

to help them out with this stuff, blah, blah, blah, blah. We've been trying to figure out a way that to help mount with this stuff, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We've been trying to figure out a way that how we could help that community, but also be efficient with our time. And so it was actually Jason Phillips who proposed this idea that we do something because he's getting so much good feedback. Because he does a lot of these where they coach coaches on how to build, set up their business, build their business, take it to the next level.

A lot of people like it quite a bit. He does a good job and so we may be doing something like that with him. And the coach, which is really. Which is really, it's really is a way to give back to the trainer community because at our core, that's what we are. I know you know us as Mind Pump and podcast,

so and all that stuff, but we're trainers. That's what we did. So we started with, so we did for a long time. Yeah, that's our heart for sure. And that's yeah. And so other trainers are always, always gonna be very special to us. And I think the way it's shaping up is that, you know,

every week there'll be a call with Jason and one of us. And, you know, we'll cover everything on the, every aspect of, you know, building a business around coaching and training from virtual to in-versive topic and then some Q&A added in the title. Yeah, the people that will be a part of this group will have direct access every single week to Jason and one of us to be able to do that. And our big thing was like, listen, if we're going to do something like this, it has to be tremendous value.

Like, it's not going to be something that's super expensive for everybody, like these crazy ass, mastermind groups, 50 grand a year for you to do this. The idea is to make it very, very feasible for literally anybody and everybody that is extremely valuable. Yeah, and extremely valuable, so it doesn't feel like. Speaking of wish, you just see the opposite. So they have an offer. They're going to run a Rolls Royce.

So they actually have an offer right now for trainers. So it's if you go to the NCI certification.com.com. Mind pump, you get a free master class plus 50% off your next class or course through the end of the month. So that's their current promotion. So really what they do is they do certifications and courses for online coaches to educate them

and make them a great resource. Doug, I texted you a link. I'd like you to pull something up. This is an incredible technology. This is night vision technology now that the military is using, at least what they're showing us that they have. This shit's crazy, bro. Look at this.

Can you buy it? This is how they'll see it at night. So yes, so is there a video Doug you could play? is it just that like that? I was lying them so perfectly I got it the technology does that so there I think there's a video that shows what it looks like yeah click click play there Watch this look at that dude. So this is pitch black video game This is pitch black and it literally outlines people and shows you where they are where they're moving Wow and it literally outlines people and shows you where they are, where they're moving. Wow. Oh, dude.

Look at that. Isn't that crazy technology? You can't hide anymore. Dude, that's wild to me. Yeah. So you're fighting at night in the pitch black and you can clearly see like it, like probably better than daytime. Yeah. With something like that.

Wow, that's way cool. Isn't that wild? So that's the latest. Can we buy a pair of those? I know we should I'm serious probably not dead serious. You can get regular night vision, but I don't think you can get that But that's the name of Doug. Let's look it up. It's called this would be a really good mind pump investment It's called the ENVG dash B. Yeah, so I'll give me a heart Just like on Amazon can't yes, even get it. No serious people I mean, hard. Just like on Amazon.

Can't, yes, even get it. No, seriously. People are hiding in the bush. Just take it out of Justin's bag. Speaking of which, Doug, maybe you can Google this. Actually, I'll send you a link to it because I want the boys to see this. Have you guys seen the new Air Force One

that they're gonna start building? The sneakers? No, Air Force One. The plane. So dumb. The Air Force One for, you know, that the president flies in. Yeah. Because you know they've been flying for a long time in the same, what is it, 7.4. How long know, that the president flies him. Yeah. Because you know, they've been flying for a long time in the same,

what is it, seven four, seven? How long have they had the same, yeah. I mean, it's all a crazy tech and it and stuff. Right. But it's just a regular Boeing, you know. Yeah, always, you would think that the president would be rolling around and like something that's like super like, well, Doug, I just sent you a link for.

Missiles and badass tech. Well, shit on it. Make no mistake. Inside the current Air Force One is probably ridiculous technology and they have jets that are near it and all that stuff. Well, it's more like computers and servers and all that stuff, I'm sure. So you can check it out.

Yeah, all that kind of stuff. Look at this new Air Force One. This new Air Force One is a picture of it right there. It's gonna be super sonic. That's sick. It's gonna be a supersonic Air Force One. So it'll be faster than any Air Force one that we've ever made.

And they do, hey, there's our tax money. Let's see a Doug, let's see what we bought. Bro, that's like a fraction of your tax money. I know, it's a great place it's going though. I mean, at least use it for something cool. Yeah, that's I feel like you're good to get your money. At least build cool shit. Yeah, get some death rays or something.

So this thing goes, it's supersonic, right? But one of the problems with supersonic jets. What's supersonic mean? Remember that song? Supersonic. Yeah, so is it go mock one? Now, it goes fast on the speed of sound, right? Wow, so it goes, it's mock one.

It's gonna be mock one or maybe even mock two. But twice the speed of sound. Oh, mock two. Wow. Now is that okay? I don't know what that means. Is that the definition? I'm trying to get it clear. I can't be alone here. No, wow. What do I mean? Remember, we're not scientists. No, no, no, no. I think 600 and something miles an hour. So, super, what is the definition of supersonic? Faster than the speed of sound. Okay. Okay. So speed of sound is what is a 626 miles an hour or something like that, Doug? Maybe you can look it up. Look so speed of sound is what is it 626 miles an hour something like that dog? Maybe you can look it up look at a speed of sound and I 161 761 so mock two is twice as fast so two times

So this thing you go 1400 miles an hour maybe apparently wow now here's a cool thing about this is that when you go faster than the speed of sound You create a sonic boom, which is very loud. It's a sonic boom. Right? It's very loud. People on the ground can hear it. It's not good. Well, they've designed this jet to not create sonic booms even though it breaks through the aerodynamics. Something. Yeah, something like that.

There you go. Wow. So when are they going to make one that can go outside or atmosphere for the whole space force thing? I don't know. 1500 miles an hour, dude. That's crazy. Is that crazy?

Now, imagine like, it'll have that capability, but they'll probably cruise just the time, right? Yeah, because you wouldn't want to be, you know, flexing like that all the time. Imagine the gas. They just want to have the capabilities. So they can use the gas to do that. They take some diplomats up there. They check this out. I heard some crazy stat on this,

like a Ferrari in 1977. So if you did a Ferrari in 1977, and then 1997, and then 2017, the how fast it is in a... Bro, they weren't even that fast? No, it was 60. So 0 to 60, 1977 was... Like, eight seconds or so?

Eight point four seconds. And then, and then 97 it goes to 4.6, yeah, 4.6 seconds somewhere around there. And then 2017 down to 2.9 or two. Bro, cars are so fast now. When I was a kid, if you got a car that was 200 horsepower, it was like, dude, this is a fucking fast car. Bro, many vans, 200 horsepower now.

It's like nothing. Yeah, that statistic was in this book that I'm reading right now and he brings up this point. He's like, imagine the guys that built the Ferrari in 1997. If you told him that you would be able to get that Ferrari to go from, you know, the 0 to 60 from four seconds down to 2.9. They look at you as it's impossible. And definitely the guys in 1977 would be like, no way that's even possible. So to try and fathom, where will it be 20 years from now?

You know, there were theory of flux capacitor. Yeah, that's the reason. You know, there were, there were scientists that when they built trains that went faster than horses, there were scientists that actually petitioned and said, don't do this, you're gonna, people's gonna melt and we're just gonna happen. And that's supposed to go that fast. Like the G-forces, is that true?

Yeah, that's bad. Everybody was like, can that's supposed to do that? I mean, it felt like that, yeah. I'm gonna be honest. And being on those fighter jets was like, oh my God, my internal organs and my skin's like melting. Yeah, well, that's a fighter jet, bro.

These were trains at one like 50 miles an hour. Yes, a little bit different. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's true. Every time they invent something like that, everybody freaks out, but what's the next thing going to be? You know? Well see, and I hear that, then you guys get all weird

time when they're, you know, making a monkey slash human. I think that's all. That's way different than going out. Yeah, there's no reason to do that. That is what we're concerned about. Well, I bet you people back then that there was no reason to go 50 miles an hour like who isn't that much of a hurry They need to go 50 miles an hour. I get that you know, but I'm 10 minutes early, but I'm Monday human bro So I mean their rational is that they're gonna like harvest organs from it is what I heard

Yes, that's what that's the same thing and there's there's your rationale your rationale. No, no, yeah, like that's so twisted and So why don't they do this? Okay, you just keep riding horses. Well, why don't you just make a heart in the lab? Why you gotta grow in a monkey fuck? Yeah, well, I'm sure there's some there's some logical reason why that is done in a monkey Because probably the closest thing. Oh, no, you're a sign all of a sudden I think I think? I think this whole thing with robots is a farce. Like, what, dude? Because like, you know how all these movies are like,

oh robots, we're never gonna get that far with robots. We need a lot further with human beings. We're just gonna integrate it all within human beings. Oh yeah. No, 100%. Who had the meme that had the robot that ate the girl's hair? I did. It was a robot. Yeah. Like a robot. They're all like,

just clunky. I mean, I follow that. I follow that one page. What's how do they move? So accurate. Yeah, I'd say, I mean, some of them are pretty creepy. You know, like Boston Dynamics is one of those pages I follow the time and they show like some progress with some of them where they can actually like dance and you know figure things out but they're still just like no you're I'm with you I 100% believe that we're gonna see that that's most likely as people that I mean we're already you're in robot hybrid well there's already people that do all the you know biohacking stuff to increase their sound they're already perfected have you got to do is add stuff? Have you guys seen these backyard? Not backyard garage scientists. Okay, so for technology dudes, right?

Because because you can get a lot of these this technology and chemicals What is wrong with people? It's through a great market and you can say it's you tube it You know, these guys are experimenting on themselves doing weird bio luminescent stuff. They're injecting their eyes Yeah, dude shit. Yeah, I mean I'm down. I'm a cool. That's fine. Do these guys are experimenting on themselves, doing weird bio luminescent stuff, they're injecting their eyes. Yeah, dude. Shit. I mean, I'm down. I'm cool.

That's fine. But it's your body, right? Go for it. I mean, you'll like to come with blood. I mean, let's be honest. So that's probably how we're going to have a breakthrough in that is someone who has the balls that do weird shit like that.

We bring, I mean, this is kind of a crazy, you know, analogy or parallel to draw here, but bodybuilders. I mean, how much they progressed weight training because they had the balls to do crazy. You think we'll be able to, okay, what's the first breakthrough you think is going to come out of something like that? What if we could regrow limbs, just like lizards? That's how lizard fucking man and spider man was made by the whole family. Exactly.

That's exactly how he's made it. He was a guy, he was an amputee in the comics. Oh, in the comics. And then he wanted to figure out how to grow back. And comics is like, I mean, you guys, hey, it's real. A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi-

A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi-

A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- A lot of shi- It's gonna be really interesting what people are gonna do to their bodies and what are they gonna come out with? I don't know it's gonna be kind of cool, but I know self experimentation is I mean that's science That's how the first vaccine was developed you guys know that right yeah the first vaccine was the scientists You saw the cowpox with similar to smallpox Took some of it and created a vaccine actually tested on his son and himself and then discovered that a vaccine works And then that was it Experimented on his kid. That's kind of a good deal, huh?

Yeah. But if it didn't work. Yeah. I mean, usually, I think we're going to see like the chip and the brain real soon here. I think what we're one of the things we're closest to that I think is going to be the most revolutionary out of everything out of all things we're talking about is literally the ability to Google search and get the information that you have in your phone, but just by thinking you have that. That'll be more than revolutionary.

That's what I'm saying. I think that will disrupt more than anything else. That'll disrupt everything. I feel like there's gonna be a lot of people's brains like just melting. No, what you tap into it. I think that'll be the worst fucking thing we could do. Like, really think about how inundated you already are

with just stimulus all day long, and then to have that it's the worst possible thing you could do. Like, think about how inundated you already are with with just stimulus all day long and then to have that. It's the worst possible thing you could do. It will destroy humanity. I'll tell you why. Okay. We have I think that we now know for sure that knowing shit just doesn't make humans act better. Just because we know stuff doesn't make us wiser. Yeah. Because we have access to all this information. And there's now people, there are groups of people that still believe that Earth is flat. More now than the war 30 years ago, right? Yeah.

So you wanna have access to the internet, with your brain, you know, crazy and weird shit's gonna get. It's like equal parts, like good information with disinformation. I mean, at the same time. I mean, I don't know. I don't think it's that far different than now. The only difference you have to activate.

Very different, bro. You think so? Yes. The bottleneck with your hand act very different, bro. You think so? Yes. The bottleneck with your hand and the phone is very different. Like that's a massive bottleneck. It is. Oh my God, my phone is so far.

I don't want to fucking search Google. One, two, three, yeah. It's not the same. When you can think it, okay, when you think of a thought and you connect abstract ideas in your brain, you have no idea how complex that is. Well, I envision it to be an on and off switch too, because that could be torturous to be stuck in the web all the time.

Like you would never want to, I wouldn't want to have a conversation with you, and as we're having like a fun debate, all this information is being fired. I don't know what thing you want. I mean, it looks like, like how does that work? Do you close your eyes and then, you know, you're, that's why I think there's an on and off switch.

I feel like it's that, it's that. It's like I can just switch it off. I mean, you make a good point. Like what would that hell with that look like without driving you crazy? Yeah, you'd have to, you have an on and off switch. I feel like it's that it's that it's like I can I can just switch it off. I mean you make a good point like what would that help with that look like without driving you're crazy yeah you'd have to have it on an off switch. You have to be in the way you want. You need like some kind of glasses or something to push your nose. You put it here. You put it here. You put it here. You put it here. You put it here. You put it here. No that's be wished. Oh be wished. You push your nose and then it turns on the the soft one. You shift the fart. Yeah. really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really,

it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's really, it's No, no, no, no, no, what I'm saying is, I think that the very first thing we're gonna see

is a black mirror episode where you zoom with one eye. Yeah, where you literally can like, you have like a ridiculous camera. There are just hemting Google Glasses like that. Yeah, but it's like either a lens or like a contact lens. Oh my gosh. Yeah, so you could just see like,

hell of a far away or whatever. Speaking of cameras, you know what I just realized about my iPhone, I told I shared this with Justin yesterday that, you know, your iPhone is set a lot of times on a default camera that saves your battery the most because obviously that's one of the biggest selling points for resolution. But there's like, what?

It goes 4x clearer. Shut your face. Yes. No. Go to your phone right now. Go to your camera. Our videos can be so much better. And tell me, okay, go in your camera.

Open the camera. Open your camera. Look at the top right hand corner, what does it say? It didn't say it was just a little dot. Oh, yeah Yours is really no camera not photo go to camp like a video camera What if your camera? Oh, go to the camera and was it say top right? Oh, it says HD 30 bro? It goes to it goes three four Yes, the 4K now look now look around. No. Yes That's weird you You've been- Isn't that funny?

Well, because it eats up your battery, right? It's a pretty small end because, of course- Oh my God, I'm so annoyed I didn't know that. Right, why didn't anybody tell me- So, one of the selling points for phones, like one of the number one selling points is it's battery life. Like, at least with the smart phones today, because, you know, the-

I've actually the more power they're using, the more power they need to do these things, they suck- Dude, it made a huge difference every time I clicked it. Yeah. That's annoying. I haven't always, did you have my son clear? I know.

I just found that out the other day. And the way I found out was Katrina had hers, obviously, on the higher resolution. And I know that I have a newer model. So she's got the older model, I grab it. And I'm like, why does your camera look so much better than when I have a better phone? It doesn't make sense. And I look at it. And I'm like, why does your camera look so much better than when I have a better phone? It doesn't make sense.

And I look at it, and I'm like, so then I go to the default, and I go look up, I pull up in your settings, so that's where you go, and your settings go to camera, and it shows where your default video camera settings, and they have it like on the second one, it goes like six levels, all the way to 4K, 4K 60. Wow, that's annoying. We've been missing out, it's all tough.

I just found that out, so there's a little plug for somebody. By the way, did you know that sometimes you say grab instead of grab? Grab? Grab. I say grab. Grab the guy. So we say I grab it, you say I grab it. It sounds like you said a V.

You know what? I do a lot of stuff. You don't even know, do you? Well, somebody asked me if I was dyslexic and I, and I responded. No, they didn't. Yeah, no, they did it. But they did it in a very genuine nice way. They're like, you know, my,

Hey, do you have any learned? You, you, you learned the same way. They did. Well, they said it like they said, um, I have very serious question. You know, like, do you have dyslexia? Because I have a son that does and I want, you wanted to, she said it was actually like a compliment, right?

I believe it or not. Like a backhand and like a shit sandwich, actually. She was like, you know, I wanted to share with him some inspiring people. You've been so successful to spite your learning the ability. Yes. That's what you're saying.

Shit salad right there. That's great. You're saying. Hey, I firmly believe that some of the most successful people are learned differently than most of them. So coming from a mother who has a son who's dyslexic, she said that she's read a lot about it. She says they're actually,

there's some very, very successful people because they've had to deal with that their whole life and they've overcame that adversity at a young age. And then they build character. It builds incredible character. So my answer to her was, I've never been diagnosed with that or ADD, although I speculate that I've struggled with both.

I mean, for somebody who reads as much as I read, I should be able to speak a lot better than what I read. Oh, you're very good communicator. That's not what I mean. Well, you just pronounce words weird. Yeah, but that's it. It's a difference, right? Good at communicating, right?

And getting people to take a very complex thing and then give it to them in a way that that's easy to digest. Which, you do that very well. Well, yes, but as far as the words that I choose to put in there to get that get to that. No, you do really well That's not true. I'll say I'll say a word that you've never heard of before and I'll hear you say in the next conversation and use it in context Properly well, just so you know that's also just put flair that's it on your word. This is a skill that I think you just wants to be unique Yeah, that's it. I just like a shoes. I trust the enemy. I am not trying to pronounce things the wrong way. It's a skill though, what you just said

that I had to teach myself how to do. So I, and I remember doing, like vividly, remember, or actively making a conscious effort to do this when I would learn something, I knew that I had to immediately go teach it. Even though I'm too... Because you're learning about it now. No matter how green I am to learning it,

this is what made me good at training. I knew very little coming in, but I was thirsty to learn, and I always asked people much smarter than me questions. They would tell me something immediately after that. Even if it didn't fucking apply, I was teaching it to the next client, because I knew that I had to do that

if I was going to... Just a little... I knew that I had to do that if I was going to solidify. Yeah, that it would stick. Yeah, that it would stick. I think my theory is that people who think differently, and I know there's actual, you know, they call them disabilities, but I think oftentimes it's just you think differently. Innovation, risk taking, oftentimes that comes from places where you just see things differently. So everybody sees things a certain way,

it's hard to innovate because everybody sees the problem the same. Then you get someone from the outside who without, they can't help but think outside the box because they think differently. They have different ideas and that's why, that's why you see in studies, entrepreneurs actually have higher rates

of some of these things, like ADD, for example, I would bet you a million dollars that sales people on entrepreneurs probably a greater percentage of them have ADD than people who don't. Well, I think for me, it's maybe even simpler. Just everything has been hard for me in my whole life. Which is also why I always get really, like what is one of the things that drives me crazy? Someone tries to pull like the white privilege card on me and so that's like, that drives me crazy because my whole life has been riddled with adversity. Is there people out there that

have it worse? Just to be honest, there is. Yeah, I'll use all the words. But nothing has come easy to me. Not sports, not learning, not anything I've ever done came easy to me. I always had to work at it, but I'm extremely grateful for that. You were just attractive. I mean, let's be honest. Yeah. It's not true either.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, still attractive. I don't care what you say. Yeah, attractive. Yeah, you are. You're on camera, everybody can see it. Hey, maybe halfway today, maybe today, like because I worked hard at that. You know what I'm saying?

I had to fucking, you always dated hot girls. Yes or no? Personality though. Attractive. That's what I mean by attractive. Attractive personality. Okay, I'll take that. So for sure, like in school, I think I've shared that before, right?

Damn, it's working. What he's doing right now. See, he's doing, making me give him compliments. Yeah, yeah. Well, hey, when I was in high school, I was 830 pounds at six foot something, right? Shredded. I had cronotrated ribs sticking six foot something, right? Shredded. I had cronotrided ribs sticking out like this, right? You know, bony elbow and stuff like that skinny arms, right?

And I had both my front two teeth were completely crooked. Yeah, I saw a picture. And turned in, you know, I did my family didn't have money, so I was wearing knock off clothes, you know. I drove a piece of shit car when I finally could drive. This is like my life story. But, I also, I was comfortable with making fun of myself. Because in high school, I mean, everybody, you're gonna get teased.

And if you're just true, it doesn't matter what you're doing. Yeah, I went through teasing, bullying, all that stuff like that. And I just, I learned to laugh at myself. I couldn't do anything about those things, right? I didn't have the money to go get braces. I didn't have, couldn't change the way I dressed. In fact, that's actually what made me the guy

who wore unique and different stuff. So I started to create my own... A drift store. I created my own style. Because if I tried to fit in with everybody else, I would be made fun of more for trying. So I just carved my own path. No, that's a great, you actually made a phenomenal point there.

What a skill is to be able to learn it yourself. You know, important that is, to laugh at yourself. Sorry, how important of a skill that is for people. Very challenging, right? It's a lost art. If you can laugh at yourself, and oh, that's funny. Oh yeah, I can see how I did that bad or whatever. You almost become invincible to like the challenges

that people present you with because. It's like, well, you're gonna say to me that I haven't said you're not gonna pile on somebody., you know, well, you don't give the gas that somebody who is, okay, somebody who's doing that is, that's putting down somebody else is, it's a reflection of themselves. They're insecure. And they're looking for instant gratification to put you down to give them that temporary feeling of feeling better by themselves. If you don't give that to them, it doesn't work. It doesn't work.

They move on to the next person. They move on to the next target that we'll give to that. They move on to the next week person. This is what you learn growing up. You gotta go through that. You know, that's, I'm sorry, but there's value. Just as like, I taught so many kids. Yeah.

I'm so responsible for all these kids. Bubble tape the whole thing. And it's like otherwise we end up with everybody that's just so soft. Well, it's just hard because not a lot of people I think. I mean, I don't think I, this is also another thing that's good about being an older father.

Like I fully grasp that as a 40 year old man. I can, and I can, I can communicate that to my son when that day comes. If I was 25, I was still putting that together. I was still growing through that and moving beyond those insecurities. So if I had a son who's going through a two, like you're just reactionary.

No, you're right. You're being an insecure dad versus being a secure dad. What a difference. What a tremendous difference. Right. So now when those, and so you gotta think of parents who have kids that are going through that, that that are 22 years old and their kids getting picked on

They just want the school to intervene or they just want rules and laws to be put in place So that doesn't happen and let's put my kid in a bubble because they don't have the foresight Yeah, to see that oh wow actually this may develop their character and if I as a parent can communicate this So they understand what it's a discipline the parent has to apply. It's just really hard to convey it. Because you have kids having kids, yeah, exactly. And you teach kids how to handle and move through situations.

It's like, what is it? What do they say? Like, don't change the world for your kid because that's impossible. But get your kid to adapt, to be able to navigate and whatever comes their way. Yeah, so you make your child tough. Resilience.

What are your thoughts on super slow training?

Super slow training. Is there a franchise that still exists that's around this? I just remember the one that was off silver creek. Yes, but really they actually have places that are Yes, they do. Yeah, they just do super slow training kind of fascinating as a young trainer. I used to shit on it. Really? Yeah, as a young trainer, not kind of being aware of like how valuable that actually could be for somebody. So they obviously targeted the older population and that was the angle was they were explaining the importance of resistance training but and the safety of going super, super slow.

And they have all these machines and they would literally do like a single rep that like took 30 seconds or a minute. Yeah, so I actually read about, I don't know that by the way, I read about this or a minute. Yeah, so I actually read about, I don't know that, by the way, I read about this as a kid, like it was super into trying to build muscle. And I found, anything I could read about building muscle,

the history of building muscle, the science, I would consume, and I read an article about super, they called it super slow motion training, and it started during World War II. During World War II, it was very difficult to get iron. In fact, the government limited how much iron you could buy for things like weights and whatever because they needed it for the war effort. So you had all these people that were lifting weights, not a ton, but enough to where they're like, what are we going to do? Our dumbbells now only go up to 30 pounds. We only have a few 10 pound weights.

And so these bodybuilders invented super slow motion training. Whereas with a normal rep, it might be a two reps down, two reps up. They would do something like 30 seconds up, 30 seconds down, or 60 seconds up, 60 seconds down. And their intention solely was to see how much they can make it more difficult and challenging

with their limited amount of weight. Yes. Now, there is diminishing returns. You can't just go ridiculous with slow-mo training and expect better and better results. In fact, at some point, when the time under tension is too long, it becomes an endurance exercise rather than a strength training exercise. But that being said, slow-motion training, if you do a 30 second rep, think about how long a set normally takes you. How long would a set of 15 reps traditionally take you? Yeah, 30 to 45 seconds.

Right, so if you did one rep, that took 30 to 45 seconds. The time-under tension similar. I had a boss that competed in bodybuilding. He was a little guy. I know you're talking about him. I had a boss who was... Yeah, the shoe skates little guy. Oh, I know you're talking about him. I had a boss who was... Yeah, the shoe skates.

Yes, he did. And he used to roll around. He has a weirdo. Yeah, right? He was weirdo. And he was kind of, yeah, he was a different guy for sure. And this was the first time. The first time?

Yeah, he was little round the gym in him. Yeah, yeah. He was great physique though. He did. Great, great physique. Shredded. And this is how he trained. I'll never forget watching him train. He would go grab like a pair of 80 pound dumbbells and do one

rep. Very, very slow. And so he, like you bring up the point of like, you know, that's limiting because you can't, you know, you don't want to do it for, you know, three minutes because then it becomes endurance. Right. Wouldn't do that. He would just do it for, and he had this incredible physique and he trained every muscle group like this. He would be one to two reps tops, and it would be incredibly slow, and he would pick a weight that's probably up there towards his 80% or so. Well, interesting.

I've never seen anybody do that. Yes, that's how he trained, and that always, not like sometimes, you always train this way, and he had a great physique. And I see, and it makes sense. And this was a young guy. Now, I see tremendous value for somebody who's older. Totally.

And because this is way safer, if you grab a weight that you can control on a 15 second negative, it's a weight that is for sure a lot lighter than a weight that you could probably push out five or six reps with. So the fact that you can control it like that, and you're not just using the rebound effect, which a lot of people do when they're coming out of the negative,

I just think that's really, really valuable for that clientele. I'd imagine there'd be a lot of other benefits to it, like cognitive benefits and like focus benefits, you know, for going like super slow and being under that amount of tension that whole time and being able to account for every little movement and everything like that, I think that your brain will be highly a spark. To that point, I used that as a great way to teach form. Of course. So if I had a client that was, and I wouldn't do it the whole set or the whole workout like

this, but if let's say I was teaching something as basic as like a straight bar crawl and it doesn't matter how many times I showed him, he was still rocking the elbows and doing all of this stuff. I would then go, okay, we're gonna go real lightweight and I'm like, I want you to go super slow. You're gonna see 30 seconds I want you to count in your headway, do this. And I would be positioning his body.

So he got to different parts of the red. I would adjust, I would adjust. I'd be like, no, no, no, see You're almost gonna go, then I would readjust. And so once they felt that go through like two or three, like really slow reps, it would click for them, like, oh, I need to keep myself like this. If you really do some interesting stuff like this for sports training where we do squats, but then we'd have somebody sort of pushing them from one side, so they had to count for that type of force, is there going down?

So that way too, like it was like a stability issue too. Like somebody had a little bit of instability that could really address it by going super slow and then accounting for that all the way down. Yeah, well with this, you get great stability and you get great connection. If you have trouble connecting to a muscle and a compound lift, do a really slow rep, right?

Because as I'm going down in a squat and if compound lift, do a really slow rep, right? Because as I'm going down in a squat, and if I want to feel my glutes, I can each increment, readjust, and continue to concentrate on the muscle that I'm trying to target. For example, a bench press, right? One thing you do with a bench press is you can focus on the fact that the chest is what's bringing the humerus to center, right? So what I can do is I can create tension bringing my hands in and I can bring my arms out as I go down and know that the chest is resisting that kind of outward motion as I come up I'm focusing on bringing the elbow in rather than extending the arm, which is a tricep So it allows you to connect it builds stability What it doesn't do is it doesn't contribute well to speed or power or athleticism except for from a stability

standpoint. I think this is a great technique to throw one occasionally. I don't think it replaces traditional resistance training, but I do think for beginners too. Yeah, I think it's a great, I mean, it's great to do like a week, throwing a week of doing this or an exercise. Yeah, an exercise, I can see that. Or an exercise and see how it feels. The pump you get from this is insane, by the way. I can see that. Or an exercise. Yeah, yeah. And see how it feels. The pump you get from this is insane, by the way. You get an incredible pump from doing it. I mean, I do this, you know, like almost unintentionally.

So at home, we only have up to 50 pound dumbbells. I was doing shoulders of the day and I can do a lot more than 50 pound dumbbells. And so, you know, I was like, well, I want to get my shoulder workouts. So my press is, I just, I did these, you know, five extremely slow reps. So yeah, no, I think it's, I think it's great value. And I think it's especially for specific groups. Now, obviously to your point, if you're an athlete, or you have specific goals, but for the average person,

intermittently using this into your routine, or doing a phase of it every once in a while, or just every once in a while doing that with an exercise. And I like to pick an exercise that you, you're not the greatest at form and technique wise. It's a good excuse for you to slow it down. I like the discrepancy. That's right. Totally.

Next question is from Hades Grey 9. How effective are upright rows in developing the shoulders? What are the best exercises to have a well-balanced and developed shoulder? This is one of those exercises that we were told that you should never have somebody do, right? That it's real bad for the shoulder, it's gonna cause lots of problems. And I wanna be very clear, definitely more risk

with an upright row because it requires more stability. But if you can do these properly with good control, they're very, very safe. Now, that being said, I love the upright rows for developing the shoulders. In fact, I would put it in the top 10, definitely, maybe even top five of the best exercises for developing shoulders.

And mainly it's because of this. All other effective shoulder exercises involve a combination of shoulders and triceps. So you get that shoulder tricep recruitment pattern, right? So overhead press, right? of shoulders and triceps. So you get that that shoulder tricep Recruitment pattern right so overhead press right shoulders and triceps Well with an upright row it's shoulders and biceps as I'm pulling up Tri-sips are not even activated. It's my biceps. So it's a different Feel to the shoulders and I it's again. It's one of my favorite exercise in fact

I it's always in rotation with my shoulder Well, I also think that it incorporates all three parts of the shoulder really well. Right, a lot of shoulder exercises, I mean, you can't isolate a part of the shoulder, but a lot of shoulder exercises are targeting a specific part of the shoulder. Your laterals, your front delts, or your rear delts.

But in the upright row, you pull with the rear delts, the laterals are incorporated, and even the front is incorporated with the way that you pull with the rear delt, the laterals are incorporated and even the front is incorporated with the way that you pull in it. So it's one of my favorite exercises to do for the shoulders. Now as a trainer, I was told that we weren't supposed to do it because everybody is so rounded forward. Yeah.

Everybody's so rounded forward and then you're doing this exercise that's going to tighten them up in that position. Well, and I think too, yeah, if you're not addressing some of those postural deviations like in that, you may be reinforcing bad patterns You know, but once once you get all that accounted for and you're able to Get set your shoulder in a good position where it's it's you know, it's back. It's down. It's it's it's locked in place You know, it has nothing but value from there in terms of like what it provides for development for the shoulder. Yeah, you know, it's funny is that if you do upright rows properly with full range of motion, especially at the top,

where you actually engaging the upper back musculature, it's not a bad exercise for posture. It actually becomes a good one. So that's how I queued it because that was told that and I still love the exercise. I was like, okay, well, if everyone's, if I'm being told that it's bad because it's just promoting more forward shoulder, when I cue it, I'm going to cue it as that's where you come from, right? So as you pull up, I'm already queuing rear delt and trap back. You know, so it's like this, you pull back versus some people they do this, like kind of raise where they're like, they shrug their shoulders. No, I like to bring it close to the body at the top. Yes, and you pull and squeeze.

Yep. Pull squeeze, yep. Next question is from Coach Cure. Do you find the reverse grip bench press useful or is it just an old school overrated? I cannot remember the last time I did this but a long time since I've done this exercise. So you know when I got introduced to these,

there was a power lifter that was in the magazines a lot who used to do his bench press on it. Something Clark, he looked like he was... He had the record at one point, didn't he? Yeah, maybe Doug can look him up. He was either Filipino or Hawaiian, massive dude. And he would bench press like 700 pounds with this reverse grip. And I remember thinking like, what?

Let's see advantage there. What's the value, right? So reverse get bench presses first off, get it comfortable with them, okay? Cause you don't wanna fail on that. And also, racking up with a reverse grip can be very scary. This is like a good partner exercise.

Is it a good partner exercise or get yourself in positioning, practice, and learn how to do it right? Oh, was it Anthony Clark? Yeah, show a picture of this guy. So this is the guy that- So if you remember that. I don't know, just pause. I remember- I know, picture of this guy. So this is the guy that, that you remember that. I don't know, just pause.

I remember, I know, I remember that guy. But I would never, I would never be able to, wow, look at you, remember all that. Yeah, I was Filipino. Yeah, so, and he would bench like ridiculous amounts of weight with the, with the reverse grip. But anyhow, the reverse grip, what it does is it forces the elbows in.

Yeah, 805 is his bench record. Yeah, so it, you passed away actually in 2005. So this is insane. It forces the elbows in so you can use more front delt and believe it or not, elbows in, actual works also works the upper chest more because of the way that the fibers, the upper chest, orient when your elbows are in,

do you sell it and they come up? And they come up too. I mean, aren't you engaging your biceps a bit more? It's maybe stable as they stabilize it. Yeah, I don't. A lot of tricep though. Yeah, I get, aren't you like engaging your biceps a bit more? It's maybe stable as they're stabilizing it. Yeah, I don't. A lot of tricep though. Yeah, I get a tricep front belt. And you get that upper chest.

Now, I noticed when I did these and I started to practice them, get good at them, that I got a little carryover to my regular bench press. And this is why I started doing them because back then, bench press was the... I liked them. I was on a kick for a while or it, or I used to put it in the routine. That's why when he brought this up, I was like, wow, I haven't even thought about that exercise in so long. You know, it's, I mean, here's a great part.

Once you've been lifting for a really long time, it's a great movement, and you can absolutely, you know, where would you put it though? Are you guys putting it in as a replacement of a chest exercise, or would you put it in as a, oh see, so I would use it more often, like a close bench press for your triceps. I would sometimes do a reverse. No, I would do a tricep thing. I would do instead of a bench press,

or I would do it as another press for chest, right? So I did my bench press, so I use it for triceps. That's, and by the way, you can do that. Just you can. You can, you, with an exercise, especially like that one, you can you can you with an exercise especially like that one You can put more emphasis on one muscle more than the other like Sal was talking about the main ones that are

Incorporated there if you're trying to get the chest out of it You can really focus on chest if you want triceps you can focus on using more That's what's kind of cool about compound lifts is you can mentally concentrate on a muscle that you want to take over the lift More yeah, you know, you know, it really to what it does what the bench is you know how if you want to take over the lift more. Yeah, you know what really too, what it does with the bench is, you know how if you want to bench a lot of weight, how you get real tight, and you kind of suck in the elbows and activate the lats,

the reverse grip bench press really encourages that tight feeling. In fact, I'm surprised just in, I've never done this. I've never, yeah, experimented. This is my brain, you know, going. This exercise has your name all over. I feel like if you did I'm you'd actually well, it's interesting because you know how the the stance. I don't know if it's like Taekwondo where they always have this

position It reminds me of that's like the power stance But yeah, I've never messed with that. I know would you also then experiment with doing something? Like if you take that and then you bring it back over your head and then you do some pullovers with reverse grip. Wow, so you do like a pullover to a press. Yeah, I'm wondering. That's an interesting exercise.

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I feel weird. Well, the amount of weight you could probably press is not much. Yeah, you'd have to use light weight in order to do this. No, I mean by itself. Like I would just be using, yeah, for doing that, with just the reverse grip. I'm just thinking about using reverse grip. I'm not to experiment. Well, like, Sal said, I think, I mean, this exercise, I think, would be

in your wheelhouse. It's like playing all your strengths. Yeah, it's your strengths. I mean, so I imagine, you know, as many times as I've done it, we could probably do it right now. You probably outperform Sal and I both because those are your strengths. Next question is from Rary Walnitz. What's the proper amount of volume per body part per week? Is it a different amount for the larger muscles versus the smaller muscles? Yeah, you know, okay, so you're gonna hear a say is that this is very different from person to person,

which it is, that being said, studies show that the total set volume, so for a whole week, whether you work out your body parts twice a week, three days a week, or once a week, is anywhere between 10 to about 18 sets. So you got a pretty big range. Most people doing well around 12 total sets per body part per week. Now, is it different for larger muscle groups or smaller muscle groups? No, not really. Probably because the smaller muscle groups are getting work typically done with the larger muscle groups and we don't typically count that volume. So in other words, I'm only going to count the volume for my triceps when I'm working my triceps, although when I do my shoulder presses and my bench presses, my triceps are obviously going to be

quite involved. But that number is a general number. And here's the truth. The truth is, you got to figure this number out for yourself. The right dose for you is what's going to build the most muscle and give you the best results. More than that is going to slow down your progress, and less than that is going to slow down your progress. So, in my number of changes, I definitely, there are times when I'm doing closer to 20 sets per body part per week And then there's times when these sets are much lower. Usually it's the intensity. There's such an individual variance for Versa in two like some people can just handle so much. I mean, you talk about this a lot with your legs like your legs can handle

So much more volume than other body parts. I mean, I was thinking about that. Yesterday I was training shoulders here and I can just, I can take a lot on my shoulders. Yeah, same I could do that. I could take a lot of my shoulders. I barely have to hit my chest or my back to get as sore. So, and I've found that to be unique to every person. So, you really have to figure out where that point is for you.

And certain muscle groups you're going to be able to do more than others. And so once you figure that out, and then trying to track it and then slowly scale it. And then the only thing too is like when you scale it, I think the mistake that most people make is they go right to, oh, I can handle so much more. Like if I'm just starting and I've been

I'd be very, very gradual. Yeah, you don't have to. In fact, my goal when I was, because I was tracking this a lot and I've been, it's gonna be very, very gradual. Yeah, you don't have to, in fact, my goal when I was, because I was tracking this a lot when I was competing, my goal was always to make sure I, at least accomplish what I did last week or a little bit more. Because what most people have a tendency to do

is to go backwards a little bit. They start out the first week, this is their volume, maybe they track that way for a couple of weeks and then they have a slow week and then they go down and then they overcompensate, they overcorrect and then they go way hard, you know, it's like, no, you don't need to do that. Just a tiny bit. This all, this, this was like a pattern that I had to figure out like where I would take a week off or something I would be on a break and then I'd come back and I'd try and

and hit the same amount of volume that I was doing and it would just destroy myself. And then I would go through that process of like repair, damage, heal, you know. And so I'm just basically healing my way back to get to thinking that that was the most effective way to do it was to just hammer myself to get back to that kind of volume. Yeah, and there's also this,

like there's your limit in terms of how much volume you can handle that you can recover from. And then there's the ideal amount of volume that's going to build the most muscle and give you the best results. And those are different. Like, I can handle more volume than I currently do, but doing so will actually reduce my progress and my goals. Well, we'll slow down my progress towards my goals, I should say. So there is a right dose and it's not the most you can do. The most you can do is the most you can heal from,

but that's not the right dose that'll give you the best adaptation. So, and I wanna say, I used to fall for that all the time, like, oh, I recovered from that, let me add more. Oh, I recovered from that. And then for some reason, I dropped the volume for whatever reason and I'd be like, oh my gosh. I'm stronger.

I'm stronger. Yeah, like what the hell's going on? I thought I could handle that before, and I'd be like, oh my gosh. I'm stronger. I'm stronger. Yeah, like what the hell's going on? I thought I could handle that before, which I could, it just was more than, that was ideal for my body to progress. Look, if you like our content, you got to head over to MindPumpFree.com.
