For the first 40 minutes, how do you say 40 in Spanish, Justin? Uh, quad. Then put me on the spot. minutes, how do you say 40 in Spanish, Justin? Uh, what?
Starting point is 00:00:25 Qua, then put me on the spot. No, that's 20. I was going to say Quatro, but that's not right. Quarente, yeah, that's something like that. You look at the TV, it's hell of racist, dude. You're the most, I feel stupid. I'm thinking. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Yeah, I knew this question, I failed. So we do our introductory conversation. We start out by talking about my In my encounter you're in less my encounter with the spider Uh, I mean it was a sad scary situation. I'm so glad. I'm safe and here today. Yes, then we talked about spraying DDT on kids I can't believe they did that. You can try this at home. Yeah, keep those kids clean. We're a horrible human being. Talk about the first car phone.
Starting point is 00:01:08 What year do you think the first car phone would be? Justin dropped some knowledge here. Justin clowned on me with this. He actually knew some facts at the time. Yeah, I had no idea. Yeah, I had no idea. All the time. Then we talk about laptop theft
Starting point is 00:01:19 and the airbag bicycle prank. Oh, God, if you guys have time to watch a YouTube, yes, it is worth your time to watch a YouTube, yes. It is worth your time. They deserve it. Oh my god. Then we talk about the vegan meal law. Believe it or not, there's a law now that benefits vegans.
Starting point is 00:01:32 We talked about health IQs quiz and getting life insurance policies on other people, on other loved ones. Kinda interesting, we didn't know you could do that. Health IQ. You had your bed on your mama. Health IQ provides inexpensive, quality life insurance for fit people. So if you're fit, you gotta go to
Starting point is 00:01:52 healthiq.com, for slash mind pump, and get a free quote. Then we talk about Adam's Organifi phone call. Adam likes to talk about all the things we wanna do ahead of time. That's a change, man. That's a change, man. If you get it, you're gonna find out. You read the book, the secret do ahead of time. That's a good idea. Nothing's changed.
Starting point is 00:02:05 If you get it, we're going to find out. You read the book, The Secret. That's why. Organifi.com-mind-pump, end of the code, Mind Pump. You're going to get twice as much as 10% off. Do the math at them. 20%. 20% off.
Starting point is 00:02:17 So good at math. You will. Just don't know it in Spanish. They'll be getting the questions. Bante! Oh yeah! I know that one. The first question was, why is it that someone's 10 rep wait They were getting the questions. Bante! Oh yeah! I know that one.
Starting point is 00:02:25 The first question was, why is it that someone's 10 rep weight can be so close to their one to three rep weight? That doesn't make sense, but it does find out why in that part of the episode. The next question was, what are our thoughts on tempo when we do a lift? Should you slow down the tempo or should you be explosive and quick with your lifts, Justin?
Starting point is 00:02:44 That's the only time you want to be explosive and quick with your lifts, Justin? That's the only time you want to be quick with the lifts. Next question, health and wellness directly affects testosterone and sex drive, but how does your sex drive affect your health and wellness? This is one of those reverse questions. Does more sex or better sex give you more quality in the gym in life and with no- I mean, you're not gonna feel terrible.
Starting point is 00:03:07 That's right, let's be honest. And the final question, what is the meaning behind the color coding of the maps program? We get really scientific here. Easter egg alert. Easter egg. Okay, you gotta listen to the end of the episode to figure out why we colored them the way we did.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah. Believe me, trust me. I want to read theories. I wrote a thing. Spawn from this conversation. A lot of thought went into this. Also, Electromagnetism.
Starting point is 00:03:34 What is... I fucked up on that one. What is Electromagnetism? Yeah. Is that what makes you attracted to that? That's what it is. Also, we are in September and what is turning out to be one of our most popular new program launches ever.

I'm gonna be in the driver. Almost died.
Starting point is 00:05:30 She got a big, bigger truck. It's not the car. It has nothing to do with the car. So we had guests over last night. We had a great time. Jessica's dad came over with his girlfriend. And we had some two good friends of ours come over. And everybody had a great time, great dinner.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Jessica made a nice dinner. Enjoyed everything. And because we had extra guests, friends of ours come over and everybody had a great time, great dinner, just gonna make a nice dinner, enjoyed everything. And because we had extra guests, we took out this folding table so everybody could have a seat. So at the end of the night, I, you know, we're cleaning up and I'm folding up the table to take it out outside. So I take it outside and I put the light on and we have this little like back patio area.
Starting point is 00:06:01 And I'm walking up, there's this little shed, right? So I walked to the shed and the light was on behind me because it's a motion sensor. It turns on and there's a shadow on the shed in front of me. I'm a fucking spider. Massive. It was just the shadow of it. Yeah, so I knew that it had to be somewhere around me or behind me, right? The light, right? Yeah, so I fucking drop the table I'm like who shit and I'd kind of duck and I'm like looking around And I look turn back bro Fucking spy bro is like this big dude. We're just hanging off the umbrella the like patio umbrella. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:06:39 Which uh for sure for sure one of its legs must have touched my hair. Yeah, how close? No, that's how creepy it is. I probably walked behind it. So I walked under it. I'm like, oh, and then Jessica who has a legit phobia of spiders. So I have, I'm probably borderline need help. She definitely is no good with spiders, right? And I don't like them either, but because I'm the guy.
Starting point is 00:07:01 I go on killing sprees. Because I'm the guy and you know how sexism works. I have to fucking handle that shit I can act like a pussy. So I'm like oh my god. So she's in the house She's fucking freaks out closes the door and locks it I'm out of here. Yeah, which is funny to me. I mean she's not coming inside. That's funny to me like why are you locking the door? Yeah Deal with this but it grew up loud back in. It could have, that's how big it was.
Starting point is 00:07:26 So she's like, you can't come in until you kill it. You can't kill it. So I'm like, fuck, I gotta kill this. And I'm like, so I like, convince her to let me in the house, I go in the house and I get two pairs of shoes, right? Yeah. So I had to get two shoes.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Yeah, you need two, and I didn't say that. So I could even have one shoe spider. But you still have to have your own shoes on. Like, I've never been able to kill a spider where I don't have shoes on. Fuck no. That didn't touch your toes. It's on shoe spider. You still have to have your own shoes on. Like I've never been able to kill a spider where I don't have shoes on. Fuck no. That doesn't touch your toe. It's on the ground.
Starting point is 00:07:48 You're contaminated. I have one like hit the ground and run at me. Oh. That was fucked. You know what I'm saying? So I walk out there, I had these two pairs of shoes and she like open the door just to know so I should get out, closes it real quick.
Starting point is 00:07:59 And I got the shoes and she's like, come on, you gotta kill it, please before it runs away. And I'm like formulating like, all right. Like what am I gonna do? I need a plan. It's not on the wall,, you gotta kill it, please before it runs away. And I'm like formulating, like, all right, like what am I gonna do? I need a plan, it's not on the wall, so I don't have anything behind it where I could just smash it. It's suspended.
Starting point is 00:08:12 You almost feel like a baseball bat. Well, I'm like, well, you might just knock it away and then you don't know what happened, right? And by the way, I don't know what your swing looks like though. But it's not good. Yeah. By the way, I'm picturing this right now.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I'm picturing this right now. Yeah. This is a, I'm picturing this right. Yeah. Right. Almost a little spin. A little spin. A little spin. Yeah. The wind just like wafes it up, it comes back, hits you in the face. A little pirate.
Starting point is 00:08:35 So I'm trying to, I'm trying to like talk to Jessica logically. I'm like, honey, these kinds of spiders are probably all around us outside, which is a good idea to say, because then she's really like, ah, those are around us. So I'm like, I have a kill thing. So I get the two shoes and I'm thinking like, okay, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna clap.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Oh wow, you're gonna, you're gonna sandwich him. I'm gonna clap, because there's no other way. I was hanging, like, clap the spider. Here's a grossest part. She didn't see this, because she wasn't close to this. How big was it? It's butt. Kills.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Yeah. That makes it looks more intimidating. How big was it's butt? It's yeah, the butt was big looks more intimidating the butt was big But what was gross was the legs were sharp Looking and jagged and inscribed Striped this one was garden spiders. Was it like kind of a white kind of color? It was like brownish white white. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what the fuck? Yeah, those are creepy Yeah, so I'm like so I'm gonna it. So I put the shoes on my hands. You put them on your hands like inside. Not a bad strategy. Well, your neighbor was like, not a bad
Starting point is 00:09:35 strategy. You're on. She's fucking dying of laughter. Now, as I'm doing this, I don't know if you guys know this but when you when you your shoes Oh, guys they create a gap because they're not completely flat. Oh, yeah, I don't realize this Let's get some Air Force ones or Chuck's it wasn't the Air Force one No, no, no, even your Chuck's they they curve up a little bit right cuz sure sure you don't natural arch there Yeah, so I'm looking at them. So before I kill the spider. I put them together. I'm like, there's not enough surface there. I'm gonna miss. This is not good.
Starting point is 00:10:08 So I'm like, what do I do now? So we're fucking, we're arguing back and forth and she's cracking up. Now we're gonna hit the toes, bro. That's what I was thinking, but then what if it got through the back? I could have gone up your arm. And it was up here.
Starting point is 00:10:20 It was a terrible angle. It was terrible. Trust me, I was doing all the math in my head. So I got, so I'm like, I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get a broom. Oh God. I wish it was there. And I'm gonna knock it off the umbrella off of its little spider web and then stomp it.
Starting point is 00:10:33 And then stomp it. Okay. So that's a big strength. Yeah, that's your shoe idea was better. Well, because now you got them on the run. You know what? Now that I think back to it and I don't have the fear of being near it, you're right. It was a terrible idea. But at the moment, it felt better because the
Starting point is 00:10:50 fucking broom was long. Yeah, it's away from you. Far away from the fucking. So I get the broom and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna hit it just hard enough to knock it down and smash it. But when I was about to, and I took me forever, like to fucking muster up the like, the courage to do it. When I finally went for it, because I was so, like, because I don't like spiders, I use too much force. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm talking about, right? Like you can kill a spider with like,
Starting point is 00:11:17 you overswung. Like this much force, right? But because you're like, no, you know too much. So I hit it and I fucking knock it. Don't know where it goes. Flies off. She's no idea where it is now. She's like, you're not gonna come inside unless I know, I so I hit it and I fucking knock it don't know where it goes flies off Right, you know idea where it is now. She's like you're not gonna come inside unless I know I see you kill it I have to see it die not went into the abyss. So I'm like in my head. I'm like fuck I don't know where it went and she won't she's not gonna let me inside
Starting point is 00:11:37 Luckily it was on the floor she saw it and I just smashed that thing with my foot. Oh, you got it And yep, and I was the hero The great sex afterwards. No, no, I did not deserve sex. I came, I conquered. That was the most important plan. That was the weakest, like, spider attack. I mean, it took me a good 15 minutes
Starting point is 00:11:56 to come up with a strategy and courage. Those things don't, so you guys have things that, you know, I think Justin mentioned that you guys have things that the girls are turned on by that you do. Like Woody, like, like, is your, I know you, I think you're the fucking winner you're have things that you know, I think Justin mentioned that you guys have things that the girls are turned on by that you do like what?

Just, uh, fixed, uh, it was exciting on the house earlier today. No, it's funny, because like, I, I mentioned that one time in the podcast and then every time, like, oh, I'm working on this,

Yeah, I just take my shirt off or just say sex. Just have to say the word. It's just a word.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Oh, it's, yeah. It's a crit. Hey, what's up, sex. We're just kidding. Oh, there's this thing I do too where I just walk in the room. How about you, Adam? I think it's the same.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I don't know what to do. Are these the same thing for you, right? Yeah. Yeah, I know there's certain things that they could treat. I know that like she'll, she gets, I mean, she had it last night. Like there's moments where she catches like a, you know, obviously we're already together all time. So she hears conversations.
Starting point is 00:13:36 When she hears business conversations, it's pretty funny. So if there's something that I'm like, if I'm communicating with like a, another company that we're working with, or an employee or like she hears me negotiating something like she gets all turned on by that.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Oh, yeah, it's like. You turn it up a little bit and she's like, of course, sometimes there's not even real phone calls. Yeah, you fucking take that shit. Who's taking it? And taking it out 20%. No wonder.
Starting point is 00:14:01 It's happening tomorrow. No wonder you talk all weird when I'm on the phone and she's a no. Why are you ranting? No, I'm not. We want to increase by 15% a quarter over last year. If 17 do this now, decrease those margins. I gotta go now.
Starting point is 00:14:15 What happened? Anyway, I'm not a big fan of spider. Are you guys cool with spiders? I mean, I'm somewhat, like I've built up sort of a resistance towards them as far as like used to have that same sort of like super arachnophobia vibes, but... He lived in the mountains too. I've had to get used to it. They just are there constantly, even though I have some guy combined spray.
Starting point is 00:14:37 It's like, and the ones that survive are the fucking biggest ones. You know what I mean? Those are the ones that, he kills all the little ones. You know what I mean? Those are the ones that like he kills all the little ones, but you know, the mega fucking huge, you know, tarantula type spiders are the ones that stay around. We need to bring back DDT. We need to start spraying DDT everywhere. Yeah. You guys are all aging orange. You guys are in my backyard. Yeah. Little just get rid of everything. Do you guys know the whole, you know, in DDT back in the day, so you you know DDT is that famous pesticide that they just spray and everything and you know the original commercials for DDT were no they would have these commercials where they would show I'm not making this up this is like in the 19 Dug is with when's DDT dog 40s and 50s probably
Starting point is 00:15:19 Far back I thought this was like a wrestling move No, it used to be like a radio commercial. Wasn't that Jake the snake? Didn't need to do the DDT. Yeah, did the DDT move? Jake the snake, Roberts? Is it DDT or DBT? No, DDT. What did it stand for?
Starting point is 00:15:32 Oh, it's a chemical thing. Diamond Dallas page. Yeah, that's too long. No, no, no, no, DDT is a insecticide. 1874, I don't even know how to use that. I dug was that old? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Hey, Doug, when you were 13 years old, yeah, but anyway, so they showed, I saw these old commercials for it where they were promoted and say it's perfectly This is remember when the was canceled in 1972 It was so it was going on in the 60s, but when the when the industrial evolution really took off It was like anything that scientists did everybody was behind because science was this new like thing for everybody was exciting Yeah, and so deep they, so they believe scientists. So they came out with these commercials where they would show, I'm not lying, scientists eating spoonfuls of it to show us, safe it was.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Oh my God. They'd be like, it's so safe and they'd eat it. And then they'd fucking blow it on kids. So when, oh my God. That was a commercial. That was a commercial. Not just commercial. This was policy.
Starting point is 00:16:25 So in a lot of poor areas, so like my dad, when he was a kid, and when my grandfather was a kid, especially my grandfather when he was younger, he says that, because license and shit and was a big deal, especially in these poor communities, where my grandfather was very, very poor. They'd fucking, they would either shave your head, or when DDT came out, they'd line the kids up. For school, it's a wonder we all say. They'd line the kids up and they'd fucking you they would either shave your head or when DDT came out they'd line the kids up
Starting point is 00:16:45 For school. It's a wonder we all say they'd line the kids up and they fucking they blast them They blast them with DDT powder or put it in their hair. That's that's horrific. Yeah They used to do this shit to everybody and spray it all over the place. Oh, yeah, we knew nothing back then What the fuck do you know what I did find out though, that was tripping me out. I heard this on a podcast. How old? Carphones, like the first car phone. You know when that came around?
Starting point is 00:17:13 The very first car phone. It was before the 1920s. What? What? What are you talking about? Look that up the, I was like, no fucking way. Well, they invented it before that.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Was it the cup with the string Yeah, like they did like the that game telephone a car phone in the 19 to get out of here. That's no way Yeah, right. That's what I said. It was probably a probably like a CB type phone. No, please first used in St. Louis in 1946. Well, you were only 27. No, that's that's when it was used, but when it was actually invented He's all is all that's before cars were invented.. Wow, no shit, I didn't know that though. I remember when I, well, shit with him. But I just think of it as like the brick, you know, from Wall Street, you know, I had that like one car phone
Starting point is 00:17:57 that would look like a fan. My uncle had one as a kid, he was a painter and he used to, in his paint truck, he had one. And it was a big deal. Bro, you know how expensive the falls were back then? Oh yeah, so I remember we skid in trouble's kids because me and my cousin, we used to, in his paint truck, he had one. And it was a big deal. Bro, you know how expensive the phone calls were back then? Oh yeah, so I remember we skid in trouble's kids because me and my cousin, we used to get in the car and we used to fuck around on it all the time
Starting point is 00:18:09 and he'd freak out. Cause that's for business only. Oh, dude, use that. Bro, a 10 minute phone call costs like 30 bucks back then. I mean, Oh, we got meet the 1920 radio enthusiast right there. Oh, yeah, went through radio. This is okay.
Starting point is 00:18:22 So, what the hell is he holding right there? A little bit different, but. Interesting, yeah. Still interesting, I didn't know. Yeah, but what the hell's he holding right there? A little bit different, but. Interesting, yeah. Still interesting, I didn't know. Yeah, but I didn't know when back way far back like that. You wanna hear something crazy, even a little off topic,
Starting point is 00:18:32 but speaking of crazy stuff, is right now there's this big thing happening right now. So this is, help my audience out right here. So how many times, and just in your notorious for this, you probably did the most of us, going to like pizza, Starbucks, and just in your notorious for this, you probably do the most of us, going to like pizza or, you know, Starbucks and working on your laptop. So you know what the new thing is, is it's becoming extremely popular for people to steal laptops. And I mean, like, literally right in front of you steal it. And so what they're doing, because you have all these
Starting point is 00:19:00 people in coffee shops, and it's such a busy little thing, and people are so distracted with their electronics where you'll look down at your phone and you're texting and you have your computer also in front of you. The moment you look, wipe it off, they just grab it and take off running. Get out of here. And then, and run, and gone.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Where, like what area? It's happening everywhere. No way. Yeah, so it's happening all over the, and Berkeley right now, that it's actually, they're mandating cops to have to be hanging around all these coffee shops because of the happening so much.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Can I just tell you what I would do to someone if I caught them running with my computer? Yeah, I mean, the beat down that would happen. Just instinctually, not because I think. So why you need to train to run? That's the problem. Yeah, we can get you to sprinting. Like if I see them do it in the first 10 feet,
Starting point is 00:19:45 they're gonna get caught after that. Exactly. After that I'm gonna throw something. Well, I think that's trying to hit them with my eye. I think that's probably what happens, right? I mean, think about that. You're sitting down at a coffee shop, you have a coffee, you're probably like,
Starting point is 00:19:56 you know, you got something in your lap or your notes and you got your iPhone and you look down for seconds. Someone grabs that. Have you seen the videos from? It was crazy, bro. You know where that kind of theft is terrible? Brazil. Have you ever seen the videos from Brazil?
Starting point is 00:20:11 So, because Brazil is, you know, you should see the videos on this. There's videos on all those. Look up, look up. It makes me angry. Laptop thefts Berkeley Doug and see how you get. Oh, dude, in Brazil, they have these videos of where people are walking, holding the purse,
Starting point is 00:20:25 and a kid will walk up, rip the purse out of here and just run away. Yeah. And then you'll chase them, chase them, but you're not going to catch them. What kind of makes sense? I mean, it's thousands of dollars right away versus them having to go... I mean, when you're robbing a bank or whatever, don't they have just like a couple thousand, like, they're just spent the total and that's it. No. You know, this is way less risky.
Starting point is 00:20:45 No, it's, it's, I mean, I hate to say something like brilliant because it's fucking fucked up. But it's, I mean, as a thief, it's a pretty smart strategy to go around ripping off these laptops. See, look at this video of these, you know, you're sitting there like a dude in school notes, looking, he looked down for a second. Well, the scary part is is that they can take all of your information, then sell your information on top of that with your laptops.
Starting point is 00:21:08 So your laptop has like all of your shit on it. You know, if they can hack their way through it or sell it to somebody who's trying to steal your identity. So that's what I'd be worried about. Just gone, bolted. Wow, wow, look at that. That would make me very upset, very, very angry. You know what's crazy to me is- And that poor nerdy kid that's on the lap,
Starting point is 00:21:28 you know what I'm saying? Look at it, right. And why did he stop running after him? That's all I'm worried about. I think because you're just like- He's probably think- He's probably think- He's got flip-flops too, he's like, fuck, there's no way.
Starting point is 00:21:37 And he's probably thinking, what am I gonna do if I do catch the guy? Yeah. Oh, look, that guy got caught right there. See, he'd get, there would be a beat down right there, instant. Yeah, I'm not just hugging him. Yeah. I'll tell you that. Hug you so hard. You can't breathe. Yeah. You know, it's, it's in my belief. Oh, wow. Yeah, they're getting a fight on that one. Uh, in my belief is, is violence, theft and property damage should be the highest punishments of all crimes. In my belief. And I think it's crazy that, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:05 like in California, for example, I don't know if you guys know this, if someone breaks into your house and you're not home and they steal less than, I think it's less than a thousand or something like that, it's no longer like that big of a deal. Oh, they don't do shit, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I think if someone breaks in your house, even if you're not home, that should be a very big deal. That's a major, you know, you do violation. You know, I know, true violation. I've talked about it. I've had two of my cars stolen.
Starting point is 00:22:28 And I remember the first one I was in shock and I was pissed. The second I was like, oh fuck, whatever, you know. They don't do anything about it. They come and they write a report. There's nobody goes out and they only other way. It's not CSI. No.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It reminds me of that movie where he's like, leads. Yeah, he starts like cracking up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What have he leads? It's exactly like that. They don't they do not do the only way. Okay. So like if you're a if you steal a car all you have to do is drive the speed limit. You're gonna be fine. If you get pulled over and they run the place. Yeah. And you don't you don't match it. But I mean, when was the last time one of you guys got pulled over? Like just fucking drive safe. You steal a car drive safe. You fucking fine dude. That's how crazy. They don't, you don't match it, but I mean, when was the last time one of you guys got pulled over? Like, just fucking drive safe. You still a car drive safe, you fucking fine dude.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Oh man. It's how crazy. They don't show up with the white glove and everything. Pick up, look at that. I know. Take to this little team. Well, you know what pissed me off on the second one was my neighbor, like, you know, four or five houses down,
Starting point is 00:23:18 actually had a camera outside of his house. So you could, you watch my truck get fucking jacked. Did you watch the video? Yeah. Oh, I watched it. You watch someone get into your truck. Yes. Now did you recognize the license plate? No, you can't see that's a problem. The camera was in detail. But I mean you saw the type of you saw what it was. It was a dark. It was either dark blue or black. That's worse that you saw. Yeah, no, suburban. And you see them. They they get into my truck. They, they, they, they, they pop the door, they, they'll shove those, that year.
Starting point is 00:23:47 So I had a 2000 and this was my O4 lifted Chevy that I had. And I guess, you know, it's really common in these to, you can pop the door handle and get in like really easy. You know, that's what I mean, these guys are smart. They, they figure out what cars are the most come back. I, I had the Acura and Tigra, which was like up there with the top three easiest cars to steal. So, you know, two times I've had,
Starting point is 00:24:08 I just happened to have the vehicle that is in the beam. That's why he used the club. Yeah, that's what they said. Bro, that's what the cop told me. Cop told me that on the second one, he says, says, you know, the best thing you could, because I was like, I was pissed. I had an alarm on that one, really nice alarm on that one.
Starting point is 00:24:22 But what the fuck I have this alarm for? If that, yeah, does it mean you can do it? Yeah, he tells me he goes, you know, I was pissed I had an alarm on that one really nice alarm on that one. What the fuck I have this alarm for if that You know he tells me goes you know honestly goes the number one deterrent from Thaft is a club He goes you put a club on there and the likelihood of you getting your car or stick shift Yeah, that's true. No now it's that for sure. What's that one tracking thing? Oh, I had that yeah I had that on my I had that on my didn't do Once it gets elevated on a like a so here's the funny thing
Starting point is 00:24:50 Oh because like a tow truck. Yes, they so there's a hack low jack. Yes. Yeah, so there's a hack to those Because they because they your it's it's there's set to where if if your car gets towed that it's not supposed to You know the alarm go off or some bullshit so by where they lift it up So there's a way you can you can hack that so even if you have that bullshit low jack or whatever it doesn't work Do yeah, they all suck the club go spend 50 bucks on a We should was like a detonation device. I mean, oh someone stole my car Well, they're dead Car's gone, but they're dead. Well, we should be able to do that. It's a shit like that would be cool
Starting point is 00:25:24 I'm upset but I'm also relieved Justice was served Imagine though I'm just kidding. It just blows in fire. It blows up in flames. Hey, it's my car I should be able to blow it up. You know what I'm saying? That's true. That's my fucking car. Right right? By right my car. That's a brilliant idea man There's this one there's this one on this guys on YouTube I don't know the channel. It's kind of fucked up, but it's also kind of funny where they They go to a park or somewhere and they get like a bike like a nice bike and they'll lean it up against the tree And then they'll they'll set up a
Starting point is 00:26:02 It's kind of fucked up right they set up a airbag device under the seat So you guys you guys know airbags come out with tremendous force. Yeah, tremendous force He probably got catapulted this space and so what they do they have these cameras They do it. This will be so fun and and they'll and these are people those catch people trying to steal their bike And they'll jump on the bike and try and run away then what they'll do is they'll run after the guy and say hey It's my bike and then the guy will ride faster, and then they'll push the button and it just, but you couldn't see that it was on there. And they leaned the bike up against the tree
Starting point is 00:26:47 that was on a hill. So naturally the person would get on the bike and go down the hill, that's what they're doing. So then they're writing, and then they change that. Why isn't there a reality TV show? There it is. Where they just like set people like criminals up. There it is right there.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, 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, ever. He's a man. Yeah. Anyway, there's a lot of these, there's a lot of these videos where see I wish we yeah, it kind of went off a little bit and scared him. Yeah. Anyway, good times. Yeah, that's good. They're all, they're all I don't feel bad at all. Yeah, that's funny. I don't man. If you're stealing someone shit, dude, like fuck you. There's gotta be a deterrent there, right? I'll teach you. That's the lesson that they just had to learn. Dude, you know what it is? It's like, you know, nowadays a lot of people, they're not stealing because they need it, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:50 because that's different, right? Not that it necessarily justifies it, but, right. If you're trying to feed your family or whatever, but it's not, it's a lot of these kids just taking advantage of other people. Yeah, that's, you know, that's exactly what it is. That's the thing that we're doing.
Starting point is 00:28:02 No, it's almost always that, dude, it's rare that someone is stealing for survival these days. It's just someone coming up to you. Well, my house got sad. My house got broken into a while ago. I was a, it's a fucked up situation when that happened. No, hell no, bruts, hell of shitty. Dude, that feeling that you have when someone's taken some,
Starting point is 00:28:18 I mean, it's an awful feeling. Well, the worst part of it for me was, because they stole a bunch of stuff. There was two things that happened that really affected me. It one was, they took my son's piggy bank, and remember my son at the time was, how old was he? Seven. So imagine those seven year old going in his room
Starting point is 00:28:39 and he knows that we got broken into it and they stole his piggy bank. And then the other thing that really pissed me off, I was married at the time, right? They rifled through my wife's underwear drawer and through our underwear's everywhere. Like they just have no soul. Trying to find something obviously,
Starting point is 00:28:52 but you know, you're like, oh, you went through my wife's underwear and you went in my son's room and stole his piggy bank. And I had like, you know, $50 worth of change that you've been saving for the last few years. Yeah. Really, really infuriating. Really infuriating.
Starting point is 00:29:05 No. Anyway, do you guys see my shit? Did you guys see that thing I shared on my Insta story about the new law that they're gonna try and pass in California for hospitals? No. So they're gonna pass a law that's gonna make it mandatory for all hospitals to offer a vegan option for patients.
Starting point is 00:29:26 Oh, yeah, I did see this. Yeah, so they're gonna make it mandatory. Not that- Soaks plain when that's so bad. So I'm glad you asked. So it's not, because it, you know, first hearing that it doesn't sound bad like a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Right, right, right. I think you're, we're gonna tell people that like, they should have this option and it's only fair, you know, if someone's a vegan and they're in the hospital. So why couldn't they have it? Sure, sure, because it's not, they're not forcing that all the meals have to be vegan. Right, right. Now that would be fucked up if all of them had to be vegan.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Sure, but they offer more options. Yeah, they're forcing that the hospital has to offer the vegan option. Now, here's why a lot of laws like this pass. First off, on its face, people think like what you just said, right? Like, well, well, that, why is that so bad? It's just an option. And it's because people don't understand the unintended consequences that happen from legislation
Starting point is 00:30:13 that doesn't match market demand. So let's say, and here's a lot of people that need to understand, a lot of hospitals are private, most of them are. And they will provide what their customers if they're declining because everybody now are vegans and they were serving still meat and that was their only thing they're serving. Eventually they go out of business
Starting point is 00:30:33 if they continued that way and so they'd have to change their way. So number one, if hospitals are getting a large demand for vegan options, they will provide them. If a hospital doesn't have a market demand, then they won't provide a vegan option. Now if a law comes out and says no, regardless of market demand,
Starting point is 00:30:52 we don't care if your customers ask for it or not, we don't care if you think you see that there's viability in this, you must offer a vegan option. It is a waste of resources, so I'll flip this a little bit. Imagine if there was a law that said, mind pump must provide vegan food options for people. It would be a total waste of money for us. We'd buy all these vegan meals that were required to buy.
Starting point is 00:31:16 We'd have to store them and then nobody would eat them and then we'd throw them away. And then we'd throw them away. Or a small percentage of people would. Or tiny bit and then we'd have to throw them away. And so this is the problem. Now the problem is that these hospitals now have to provide this option,
Starting point is 00:31:29 which means they have to buy this food or provide some of it, which obviously they don't have a market demand for, so they're not gonna be able to sell them or whatever. And that cost doesn't just come out of nowhere. It's not like hospitals are just, you know, getting this free food, they pass the cost on to
Starting point is 00:31:45 all everybody else who's using that hospital. And this is why prices go up. So what they've essentially done with this law is they haven't helped anybody. All they've done, or maybe they've helped a small percentage of people that small percentage that, you know, maybe a hospital one out of every 20 demands vegan, but it's not enough to justify the cost. That person now benefits, but all the other 19 people have to pay for the extra cost of food
Starting point is 00:32:09 that is gonna go bad or not be used or whatever. And this is the problem with fucking laws like this. The other part of is the moral issue that I have, which is it's my business, I'll provide what I want. People that want it, they don't, if they do, they try to go to the hospital that does. That's it. That's really infuriating to me that we continue to do shit like that.
Starting point is 00:32:26 And then to add insult to injury. Well, it's not like they haven't been accommodating already either, like as far as like, you know, trying to give them some, you know, well, if you're beginning, you're trying to get like, you know, some food, they're going to accommodate and try to modify as best they can. And then, and then let's take it a step further. Okay. Here's a great question. Does the government or the state have a good track record on promoting what is healthy with me?
Starting point is 00:32:51 Like nutrition or anything? Right? Yeah, terrible. Yeah, never been on point. They're terrible. Well, in fact, it's hard for the average person to see that deep into it. Like you see something pop up and like again, like I said.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Sounds good. Yeah, it sounds like, okay, this is cool. Like, yeah, they should have to provide more options, but you just don't think deeper into that. What does that mean? And who's really benefiting from that, you know? Well, I think every restaurant should give families with two kids 15% off, you know, that makes sense for me.
Starting point is 00:33:22 I think that sounds good, right? All families, if you have two kids or more, it makes, but it doesn't make sense. It only makes sense if the market can support otherwise it's a waste of resources. And you might, it's like you're adding a business. You're adding a tax, you're just adding a tax on to something. And again, government's got a terrible track record
Starting point is 00:33:37 of promoting what is healthy, terrible track record. In fact, your health would probably be very bad if you followed government's recommendations, especially the food-pearedness stuff like that. You'd probably have, you know, you would be eating a lot of margarine, especially when I was a kid, you'd be eating lots of vegetable oils. Your diet would be comprised of mostly wheat, processed grains. You probably wouldn't be that healthy. And so I can pretty much guarantee what most of these vegan meals are going to look like. and be that healthy. And so I can pretty much guarantee what most of these vegan meals are gonna look like. They're gonna be corn, soy,
Starting point is 00:34:07 egg, red, vegetable oil. Which they already have. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. The knockin' it's not like they're gonna provide like any awesome fresh vegan like, like restaurant grade, you know, it's fucking hospital food.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Yep. And on to be dog shit to begin with. And on top of it, when you're a vegan, and vegans who are listening, no exactly what I'm talking about, you can eat a vegan diet and be healthy, but it takes way more planning because you have to match and mix certain foods
Starting point is 00:34:35 to provide the right nutrients, there's certain nutrients that are just not found. In vegetables or at least not in large quantities. And so the hospital, you really think they're gonna go out and give these people who you know It's not the same. It's not the same. So it's not even gonna be that good Doug you just Doug you just pulled up the the health IQs Quiz thing and it looks different is it is it a different quiz or is it the same quiz that we did before?
Starting point is 00:34:57 I'm not sure honestly because the image is definitely different is it is it more related to like the foods and stuff? Can you hit the start quiz? Is it gonna be too much? Yeah, I'll do that. Yeah, I wanna see if it's different or not. Yeah, for health IQ is the... They're bringing this back, though. Just for people who don't know,
Starting point is 00:35:13 it's a health IQ is a company we work with that provides life insurance, but the market that they work with are fit and healthy people. So you take this quiz on their website and it tells you how good your health IQ is and their prices are, you know, the pool of people they work with are fit and healthy people.
Starting point is 00:35:36 So your prices for life insurance are pretty much lower than anywhere else. We could find and Doug used to work in the insurance industry. And he... Well, that was part of how we decided we were gonna to align with them was we had Doug, I mean, because let's go on and stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Wow, look at this. Look at the second question. You asked, so here's part of the quiz. Yes, he has changed. The quiz is a little bit different. You can answer the kind of diet you have, vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, paleo, Mediterranean diet, low carb diet,
Starting point is 00:36:03 intermittent fasting, gluten free lact, lactose free, alcohol free. Do you take supplements? Then I ask you about your workouts, walk, run, cycling, swimming, triathlon, yoga, Pilates, do lyphoates. I mean, it's just phenomenal. And all this way more specific than just like,
Starting point is 00:36:22 how often do you move? Right, like that used to be like the sort of standard for these questions. And you should have life, you should get life insurance, especially if you're a family. I know a lot of people do too with life insurance. I just talked to Jessica's dad was bringing this up. A lot of people will get into a policy on, so like if you're a kid, you'll get it on your parent or you'll get it on someone else. Because you know, if something happens to them, then you'll get money knowing that, okay,
Starting point is 00:36:46 something happens to them, I need to have money to pay for the funeral, I need to have money to pay for these. Oh, you can do that for them. I mean, do they have to sign off on it? Or as a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, I'm not sure of that. You have to have what's called an insurable interest.
Starting point is 00:36:56 So you have to be like a parent or a child or something like that. So you just can't do some random person on your... No, no, wait a second, though wait a second though. That's interesting. That's interesting. On a policy item. Like I think about my mom right away as she gets older and stuff. You can get a policy on her.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Wow. She has a qualify fork. She has a qualify fork. Yeah, she has a qualify. So does she feel still all out? I don't understand. Well, you'd have to help her with the application process probably. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Then she'd probably have to do an exam. But then your pace is important. But then you can pay for it. You can be the owner of the probably. And then she probably had to do an exam. But then your pay's in the same place. But then you can pay for it. You can be the owner of the policy. That makes sense. Yeah. It makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I mean, my uncle is actually always talking
Starting point is 00:37:34 to me about this. And he's like, hey, I look at your relationship with your mom. It's very similar to my relationship with my mom. And he goes, I had took a carver, like my uncle really took on everything financially at the end. And I know it was a major burden amount of money that he had to fork out to really help her through those last probably five, 10 years of her life.
Starting point is 00:37:56 And so I think about that all the time. And I think like, dude, do I start like right now, like putting money aside, like thinking like that? Like we're, but I didn't know that. Yeah, and then you can maybe recoup some of it., yeah, no, you're right, Adam, you know, the cost of healthcare, when they look at the total cost of healthcare for an individual, the vast majority of the cost occurs for the last, I think, five years, something like that. It becomes very expensive to take care of your parents.
Starting point is 00:38:18 No, it's extremely expensive, and I remember seeing him and watching him go through all that, and it's like, and then the rest of the family, one really thinks about it's like oh yeah he's taking care of it. So my ex wife's grandmother when she got sick you know she was healthy healthy and then she had a stroke and they had she had to reverse mortgage her house and it was something like she had to have someone there take care of her everybody has families and jobs so it's like it can so it was like something like 80 or 90 thousand dollars a year just to have someone part time come to her. He was having grand a month
Starting point is 00:38:47 Dude, seven grand a month is what he was paying for those last few years, and I'm like, wow, that's a lot Dude, that's a lot to not be prepared for and stuff. So I did not know that that's that's actually really cool Anyway, it's a good it's a good it's a good organization, I think you know when I first know, when I first got life insurance years ago, I remember when they weighed me, BMI can be pretty high with a muscular individual. No, yeah, we come across as obese. Yeah, you know? So, you know, but then, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:18 I called them and talked about it. That's why there was such a need for a company like this that actually started to, you know, address like really healthy people because that's shit. Those little graphs or charts have been offered. Because that's guys who have muscle. They definitely will flag you down as high BMI. That equals unhealthy. Girls too. Katrina is the same way too. I mean, she hurt her weight and it's much higher
Starting point is 00:39:41 than most people would think it is. That's a big one. I remember, I used to have this trainer that worked for me that was really muscular. And whenever I do a sales presentation or something to a potential new client, you use her weight as a child. I would, because they would talk all about like how much weight they want to lose.
Starting point is 00:39:58 And I say, look, building muscle is one of the best things you could do, it speeds up your metabolism, muscles dense, you're not gonna be bigger, you're just gonna be really tight and toned and all that stuff. And then I call this trainer that worked for me over and I tell them I'd say, can you guess her body weight? And they'd be like,
Starting point is 00:40:13 115, 117, whatever, but she's 150 pounds. You know what I mean? She's a full 40 pounds, you know, 30, 40 pounds heavier than you think. And then they freak out and we'd walk over the scale and we'll weigh them and then boom, they would get it right. Did you really? Well, I actually had a female trainer that was 175 pounds,
Starting point is 00:40:31 but she was like 11% body fat. She looked freaking amazing. She was just solid, solid legs, very, and if you were to guess her way, you would maybe just guess 130, you know? So I used to do that all the time with clients, because you get a female client coming in that weighs 180 pounds and they think in their head,
Starting point is 00:40:48 like, I wanna lose 50 pounds. It's like, well, it's less about you losing 50 pounds is about changing your body top position. A lot of composition, yeah, absolutely. I meant to ask you Adam, you had a phone call with Organify yesterday? Oh yeah, yeah. I guess I'd let that go.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Can we talk about this on air? Yeah, I'll talk a little bit about it. So there's, well, there's two things I talked to them about. One, I was sharing with them the success of the campaign that we had with life aid and how well that went and seeing if they could muster up something similar with their goal juice, their green juice, and their red sampler.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Yeah, yeah, yeah, some sort of a sampler for really cheap. I said, you know, just the life aid thing did extremely well, and our people love it, and they loved it. You know which one wins people over right away? Is the goal just right? Wins everybody over. I've noticed that too. Well, I saw, you know, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:37 It was one of the last episodes I mentioned the thing that you put me on, which by the way, I had last night again too, and I just sleep like a baby. Have you tried it yet? Almond milk, warm on it. Oh, it's ridiculous. You have whiskey too. I'm all about that.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I have my little whisker and it gets it all frothed up. The sleep elixir. Yeah, yeah. Big time. So I talked to them about that. And then the other thing I talked to them about, which was really exciting because they seemed very receptive to it, and it's going to be something they discuss.
Starting point is 00:42:02 I don't want to put it out there that this is for sure at all, but it is something that I thought they would be a great partnership with us. And that's, you know, we just did an episode recently where we answered creatine and creatine is, if there's something that we all have consistently probably used over the life of our fitness career, it's creatine and-
Starting point is 00:42:19 Creatine's a health supplement. It's gonna used to be just a muscle-building supplement, but now we know there's a lot of health benefits to it. So, and if there were to be a supplement that we would, that would be a, you know, quote unquote, performance, but then like you said, it's a staple. Yeah, type of supplement.
Starting point is 00:42:33 It would be like that. And we always talked about too. If we were to do it, it would be some bullshit like, you know, what's the latest and greatest, you know, type of creatine and, you know, getting into that. It's like, we would literally do like in just a organic pure raw version of that. And I said, you know, it's like we would literally do like in just a organic, pure raw version of that.
Starting point is 00:42:47 And I said, you know, it's kind of crazy. You guys don't offer that because you already have the vegan protein. And so I would imagine you have a lot of vegan people that are consuming your products. Like it would be smart. Vegan's benefit a lot from taking, if If you're a vegan or a vegetarian, especially vegan, because vegetarians will have dairy and there's some little bit of crating in that.
Starting point is 00:43:09 But if you're a vegan, supplemental crating, and the odds are, it'll not just forget muscle mass and all that stuff, because yeah, I'll get stronger and all that. Cognitive boost from it. Cognitive boost and you'll feel better. So, because after we aired that episode, I got messages from,
Starting point is 00:43:29 maybe like four messages from vegans who said that they had, when they went vegan after about six months, they started getting anxiety or depression or just these weird mental symptoms. They started supplementing creatine and it went away. And that's actually, one of them actually told me that their doctor recommended it. She went vegan, she started having these symptoms, the doctor put her on Craya team because we're finding now that, you know, it's essential, it's almost essential. If you're low in it, you're not going to feel good.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Well, I know we have a ton of our audience that already takes it. I mean, I've sent people all over the place to different brands and stuff like that that I've taken in the past and I like. And so, I told Organic, I said, you know, even if it was something that you guys weren't going to do as a full product line for yourself you know I'd be interested in in doing some sort of a white label with you and they said oh we already do that so we could definitely do something like that. They're a good company. Yeah so we'll see you know maybe a bunch of people will go over to their page and be like mine pump the creatine you know start like hyping them up, so we wanna do it more. But we'll see. What are you doing, man?
Starting point is 00:44:25 What's the see the demand? The like, now we'll do it ourselves. Good job, Adam. Yeah. Well, at the end of the day, you know, for me, I want a, sorry, dear. I want a source that I can point people in, and I feel like I've been hooking up all these other
Starting point is 00:44:37 companies for a really long time, and it's like, you know, they're a partner of ours. We have, we have a lot of love and respect for, organify, we like what they're doing. They've been a great partner for some time, And if we can point our audience in their direction, and even if it doesn't really financially benefit us, if it's a product that we can truck, because for me, it's like about how it's being sourced and put together. And we know that we don't have the time and resources to pull that off. Yeah, internally.
Starting point is 00:45:00 No, none of us have ever wanted to get into the supplement business. I'm not trying to be trying to get into that. I have no desire to get into the supplement business. I'm not trying to be trying to get into that. I have no desire to get into the shipping and packaging and manufacturing and all that garbage. So, yeah, that was a conversation. It went really, really well. And they're supposed to get back to me. I'm supposed to talk to them later next week. And so I'll keep the audience posted on what's going on.
Starting point is 00:45:20 But pretty exciting, if that happens. Yeah, it'll be. This quad brought to you by Organify.

I picked this question because you actually you see this a lot and
Starting point is 00:46:06 I definitely experienced this because I was somebody who trained a ton in the the 10 rep range and got really good at it right got really really strong and good in the high-perture fee phase like if you Stay in that 10 to 12 rep range for a really long time like yeah, your strength will also progress Even though it's a high-perture fee phase and it's leaning more towards that kind of the pump, you will get stronger, 100% from training in the 10 to 12 rep range. And I did for a long time and I watched them,
Starting point is 00:46:35 we'll use like my bicep curls for an example, right? So like it's an easy thing for people to visualize or not a bench press, that's an easy simple one where I noticed this where I could get up to the point where I could do 225, I could get it up to 10 reps, right? Well, then I would then I finally moved into the, you know, one to three rep range and I couldn't get that much more weight. I could get a little bit more weight, but not much more weight. And a lot of that is because, and we talk about this and, you know, again, there's this, you know, how much
Starting point is 00:47:04 do we know about the central nervous system? But that's really what I attribute a lot of that is because, and we talk about this, and again, there's this, how much do we know about the central nervous system, but that's really what I attribute a lot of that too, is when you train in that hypertrophy phase and that kind of that pump type of training so much, and you don't train a lot of strength training, you don't have that ability to summon all the strength that you need in order to lift that really heavy weight.
Starting point is 00:47:23 So then even when you go down in rep range, that central nervous system hasn't adapted to that to get everything firing at once to lift it. And it took a while before I could learn to do it. My body could learn to do that. And then I started to see my strength go up. Your body, it's funny too, because I was the opposite. I loved training in the low rep range. And I did for years in the one to four rep range.
Starting point is 00:47:44 And I'd lift tons of weight the low rep range and I did it for years and the one to four rep range. And I'd lift tons of weight at that, at that, you know, at that rep range. And then when I'd go to 10 reps, I'd have to lower the fuck out of the weight. I'd have to bring it way down. Super humbly. For the exact same reason, right?
Starting point is 00:47:56 For the same exact reason. And it did just didn't make, even to do six reps, I'd have to lower it way down. And it's, you know, your body actually models itself off of what you do a lot of. And this is, it's just very specific. Your body adapts in very specific ways. You can, you know, people listening, okay,
Starting point is 00:48:13 for the MMA guys who are listening right now, remember the, if you were, let's say you were a Jiu-Jitsu guy and you had great stamina on the mats and then you went and did your first boxing class or whatever. And all of a sudden sudden you're fucking stamina. Yeah, you're sure you're better, you're in better shape than the average person, but all of a sudden you're like, you're gasped
Starting point is 00:48:30 and you're like, what the hell's going on? I could roll for an hour straight, but you know, 10 minutes now and I'm gasping out. It's a whole new set of commands you're telling your body to deal. It's the same thing with the boxer who went to the ground or the cyclist who tried to swim or whatever or again the powerlifter who tried to bodybuild or the bodybuilder who tried to the ground or the cyclist who tried to swim or whatever, or again the power
Starting point is 00:48:46 lift, who tried to bodybuild or the bodybuilder who tried to power lift. Your body's very specific with how it adapts. Now why is this important to understand? Well, I think there's two reasons why this is important to understand. One is if you're an athlete or you have a specific goal, it's good to know. It's good to know that if you want to maximize your performance for a particular event, that you're going to model your training around that particular type of performance,
Starting point is 00:49:10 and you're not going to waste time on a lot of other ones, aside from maybe some of the crossover benefit that you may get. So that's important. But here's the other reason why it's important, and this is probably for most people listening. If you're like the average person who's working out, you're not a competitor,
Starting point is 00:49:26 you're not competing in a particular sport, you really don't care too much about maximizing performance in one specific small short bandwidth. What you're looking for is changing how your body looks, you want to build muscle, you want to burn body fat, you want to sculpt your body. Well, that's a key word. Yes, why is it important?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Change. Exactly, it's important because if you're just specific in one particular short bandwidth, you move out of that bandwidth into something that's a little bit different where now your body has to get used to it, the potential for adaptation or the potential for growth or fat loss is massive. Yeah, that's actually a good sign when you see this.
Starting point is 00:50:02 That means you needed to make that change. Yes. And what people tend to do when they first feel this or notices is they revert back to their other way because they're like, oh, well shit, I was doing 10 reps with almost the same way. I may as well do 10 reps. Like no, what you should do is stay in that three
Starting point is 00:50:18 to five rep range. And watch how much the strength goes through. Right. And keep trying to increase the strength slowly over time. It will eventually get adapted. And you will get stronger and you will increase your weight. It's not a bad sign. It's just a major flag that,
Starting point is 00:50:32 hey, you've gotten really good at sticking in that 10 rep range. And this is a good sign that your body is wanting and needing for you to train in that strength. Yeah, strength phase. This happens. I mean, the law specificity is a law. I feel like a lot of times, instead of principle or here.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Yeah, I feel like a lot of times, we present a lot of concepts and people get distracted by what's flashing and what's, they see other people doing in terms of sports or in terms of their pursuits. And it can be very luring, like I want to try this out, but, you know, there is, there is definitely an advantage to sticking to something until you realize, you know, your body's like goal with this is to be as efficient as possible with this process.
Starting point is 00:51:20 And that really helps to get very specifically driven forward in that pursuit, that one pursuit. But you're going to hit a sort of a point of diminishing return where you do need to interject change. And so if you're going so far in one direction to where it's like, now you're not getting any more progress going forward. This is definitely, going forward, you know, this is definitely, but now what we're trying to talk about is how to stay ahead of that. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:50 And how to look, you know, to win to change. And it applies, it applies to anything. So I'll give you another great example, because you're great analogy. So if you, let's say you trained back squats and front squats all the time, for most people, if you train them both all the time and you get good at them, you're going to still be able to back squat more
Starting point is 00:52:09 than you can front squat. The leverage is much better. Now I'm gonna throw a number out there, and this may be, this is probably roughly where it's at for most people, but it's not accurate for everybody. But you probably should be able to front squat if you train as much as your back squat, anywhere between 65 to 75% of what you can back squat.
Starting point is 00:52:27 So let's just say that's your number. Let's just use a solid 75%. Now let's say you're somebody that only ever back squats and you never front squat. Then you go try out a front squat and your front squats 30% of your back squat. You know what's gonna happen when you go start front squatting and practicing. You're gonna go from 30 to 75% which is that number where most people fall in very fast It's gonna happen very quickly within months because a new adaptation is totally different What do you think's gonna happen to the muscles that you develop in your legs as a result of that rapid increase in strength? You're gonna see incredible change and we had this cascade effect We and we so we interviewed Stan Effarding the other day, and he talked about how he'd been powerlifting forever.
Starting point is 00:53:09 He always trained the low rep wrench because he thought that's what build the most muscle. Then he goes on Hires Flex Wheeler and Flex Wheeler has him train 10, 15, 20 reps. 20 reps, low rest periods. Low rest periods get a pump, and he's like, oh, that's the key to building muscle. That's the key to building muscle.
Starting point is 00:53:22 And I told him, I said, well, it's because you never, your body, you trained so much as... I mean, you did that. You did that and it was like a respondent because I bet you I could take someone who did the opposite. Right, and same thing. And throw them in the heavy stuff. Well, that was me.
Starting point is 00:53:35 I was the opposite of that. I did the hypertrophy and supersetting and high reps for a really, really long time. I had never really mess with the one to three rep range. You know, this is also why yesterday, sound, we did the bicep thing when Justin was doing the video and we talked about, you know, the importance of also phasing your workout so you can see these things.
Starting point is 00:53:53 It's harder to see these things when you go to train a muscle group or, you know, a full body workout. And then the whole routine, you're all over the board where you do one strength type set where you're doing one to three reps and then you're doing strength type set, where you're doing one to three reps, and then you're doing 10 to 12 reps, and you're doing 15 to 20 reps. And every workout looks like that where you have these, you're mixing and matching, which there's nothing wrong with that study show that you can see progress.
Starting point is 00:54:16 But then it's hard to measure and see these types of things. Which variables affecting you? Right. And you can see like, oh, maybe I, like this person that has got the, that can, that notices it, this is a good, it's a good thing that you can see this. That's a great indicator that, wow, I need to be in this one to three rep range
Starting point is 00:54:33 because the discrepancy is so great. Like I have such, like Sal saying, there's a lot of room for me to improve and I'm going to by staying in that low rep range for a while and building that stuff. I remember when Adam, when you were competing in physique, this was towards the beginning of my pump when we first started and Adam trained hypertrophy for a long time. So, you know, 12 wraps, 10 wraps, got pumps, a lot of stuff. And then we started getting into this deadlift thing and how
Starting point is 00:55:00 strong you could, you know, how much weight you could pull. And so Adam went, and by the way, at this point, he was already a pro. He was already a professional competitor. I've already been working out for a long time. He didn't change anything else he did. His diet was always on point, you know, same amount of testosterone. Everything was the same.
Starting point is 00:55:17 All he did was, for like a few months, focus solely on building strength. And he saw his deadlift explode. He added like a hundred pounds. Oh, more or nine. I never deadlifted more than about three hundred fifteen pounds because I never did anything less than like eight to ten. Yes, he went from doing three fifteen to doing singles with five oh five hundred plus in a short period of time because his body now had this new stimulus and he had that potential within him. Now, what do you think happened to his back in that three month period? Well, I know because he did a picture, I remember that picture you posted,
Starting point is 00:55:49 it was a side by side picture of your back and it fucking looked like a different person. It was totally, the results you got, now is it because low reps is the answer to building muscle? No, no, it's because it was the answer for you because that's not what we're talking about. Because I neglected it for a long time. Exactly. And when I first did it, like, when I first went, so before that, like, if I did deadlift,
Starting point is 00:56:10 it would be high reps, eight to 10 or higher reps, eight to 10 reps. And maybe the lowest rep range I ever hit was six reps. So I never really pushed over three hundred and fifteen pounds. Well, even when I went down to singles and doubles of deadlifting, I only was up to about three, fifty, three, seventy, five. I didn't get this. Even when I went down to singles and doubles of deadlifting, I only was up to about 350, 375. I didn't get this. I didn't go the first day of deadlifting singles or doubles, but that's what showed me like, wow, I have lots of room.
Starting point is 00:56:33 But week over week over week, I was watching that can increase and increase and increase into the point where I was hitting 550 pounds for a single on deadlift and I had never done over 3 330 pounds or so before because I never done low reps so and the the reverse is true too Like you said like if you're somebody who always Trains in that strength that that strength phase and then you go to high-perch if you have to significantly cut the weight Like that's not a sign for you. Oh, this I suck at this. I shouldn't do this or I'll just stay in the one to three No, that's your sign that you should go up in that high rep range. Just your potential for change is so much bigger in a phase that you don't train in versus
Starting point is 00:57:14 the phase that you always train in. So let me repeat that. If you always train in the low rep range, you can maybe expect a small percentage increase month after month. If you always train 1 to three reps on your squat, you know, how much you're gonna add over three months, if you've been doing it for the last two years. If you add five pounds in three months or ten pounds
Starting point is 00:57:33 in three months, that's a huge victory. But if I take you out of that and train your new phase because your starting point is so low, the potential is massive. If you go from that to 12 reps, you're gonna add 70, 80 pounds to your 12 rep max within that same period of time. Which one do you think's gonna affect your body
Starting point is 00:57:52 with more dramatic results? The one that you grow the most in? Next question is Larisaan, what are your thoughts on tempo when doing a lift? Would slowing down the tempo of a movement to achieve a greater stretch and contraction be more or less effective than moving a heavier weight at a slightly quicker speed?
Starting point is 00:58:10 Oh, another good question, right? You know what's funny about this? So I think a lot of people get confused when they hear the lift explosively, you know, when people say, you know, you need to lift explosively to build more muscle. When it comes to, it's all about intent. It's not necessarily the speed.
Starting point is 00:58:28 So there is power training. Power training's totally different. So we'll leave that out for a second. And power training is your Olympic lifting, where you are moving the bar very, very quickly. So let's just stick to traditional resistance training. When you're lifting a heavy weight, studies will show that exploding does build more muscle.
Starting point is 00:58:46 And again, remember, they're comparing head to head. We're not talking about, like we just talked about with the last question, where, you know, the one you're not doing is the one that's going to give you best results, because I'm sure we're going to go there. But if you just compare head to head, exploding activates more muscle fibers, but the bar is not moving fast. So you still have that time under tension. It's just it's heavy and you're trying really hard versus taking a lightweight and trying to move slow. I don't know if that makes
Starting point is 00:59:10 any any any difference. There's a benefit to being able to push something hard, but it moves slow because it's hard to move. Well, this is also an incredible way for us to manipulate intensity. a lot of the way for us to manipulate intensity. And you can do that many different ways. And doing it, moving the bar explosively is one way and doing that in a slow controlled way. And like we talk about the rep range, I also would talk about tempo. So if you're somebody, and this is, to me, tempo was one of my favorite things to manipulate with, with an experienced lifter.
Starting point is 00:59:45 Because even an experienced lifter has a very specific cadence they typically lift with. It becomes natural. It's weird. Yes. And everybody in this room is guilty of that. It's just you tend to do that. We manipulate all these other variables all the time, programs, exercise, and phasing all this stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:00:02 But very few people speak to and manipulate tempo that often and I used to love to get somebody who'd been lifting for 10 plus years and I would let you know I'd just watch their tempo and see and then I would just take the extreme opposite so if I got like a you know strong guy or powered up to guy like a Justin the way Justin kind of trains more explosively like an athlete I love to make him come train in my hypertrophy bodybuilder 422 tempo because I'll just fuck him up. And he won't be able to do 50% of the weight that he's used to moving because I now take him out of that
Starting point is 01:00:35 one one explosive, you know, tempo to a 422 and it is extremely humbling. But the best part about that is that, wow, okay, if it's that challenging for you, again, like talking about the rep range, that shows you there's a lot of room for improvement and for the body to adapt. And so, and the reverse, if you're the body builder guy,
Starting point is 01:00:56 like me, who loves attiring that 422 controlled positive bottom, focus on squeezing the chest, you take me and you throw me in Justin's workout, and I got a rip a bar up off the ground or I got exploded off my chest. Oh, nothing fucks me up more than that. And yeah, I was trying to think about like how to answer this a little more specifically
Starting point is 01:01:16 because when we're talking about like specifics as far as like what is the greatest benefit. So yes, there are like if you're working with athletes being explosive and powerful is, you know, that's a very desirable attribute, you know. And so that's something that you'll see that a lot in gyms, you know, where it's a high focus. And I even know that there's camps around this
Starting point is 01:01:37 with the marina bitches and like your Nick Kersen's with the speed of sport, where it's like, this is the only thing that's highlighted because of the fact that it really does translate on their skin. Yeah, they speak to it. But, you know, like could these athletes benefit from hypertrophy training? Absolutely. And is this something that they should consider more often?
Starting point is 01:01:56 Absolutely. Because we're talking about chain, how to improve, how to have like, you know, a performance advantage over, building more of a foundational strength base to your body is gonna require you to train a little differently because at a certain point, you only get so efficient. And to be able to get, you have to stretch it out more, you have to optimize, you have to go in that direction
Starting point is 01:02:23 where we have to stretch it out more, you have to optimize, you have to go in that direction where we have to pursue changing the body and then bringing it back to what is the characteristics that are gonna give you the most advantage. And so in body building world, you'd look at that from a body builder perspective of like, okay, where is my high attributes in my totem pole? This is the adaptation that is the most desirable. So this one's gonna be frequented the most,
Starting point is 01:02:49 but I'm gonna interrupt this with other styles and other cute variables to make sure that my body keeps progressing and changing. Beautiful, beautifully said. And here's another factor that we haven't even touched on yet, because I tend to recommend most people, just because most people aren't competitive athletes. I tend to recommend that they mostly, or sometimes always, stay in a very controlled rep tempo, mainly for one reason only.
Starting point is 01:03:18 It is far lower risk of injury. Far lower risk of injury. You can look at pro bodybuilders even who trained at a very high level. You look at the guys that compete into their 40s and late 40s, like Dexter Jackson, compared the way he trains to guys like Doreen Yates and how he used to train, or even Ron E. Coleman and how he used to train. Lots of strength, very explosive, definitely develop lots of muscle, lots of injuries, lots of injuries.
Starting point is 01:03:45 Dexter Jackson still trained today, Vince Taylor back in the day who competed up until his late 40s at the highest level. These guys trained with lots of control, they didn't try to max out on everything, and they were lifting weights at high levels in their late 40s in a sport that you're competing against the football. Well, like Justin said, it's not advantageous for them to do that. Nobody gets up on the Olympia stage and says, oh, Phil Heath and, you know, Sean Rodin, how much was your, your max bench press this year? You know, no one asked that question. They're looking at their, the way their body is sculpted and you
Starting point is 01:04:17 can sculpt and build a physique with very controlled slow movements the entire year and train that way. And then that being said, like to Justin's point again, if you're an athlete, no one gives a shit if you bench pressed, or if you look a certain way, if your legs were developed one way or more developed and the other guys, it's like how do they move? You know, are they explosive?
Starting point is 01:04:40 Can they get across the field faster than this guy? That's what matters. So like Justin was saying, I think it was an incredible point is that, you know, you're going to live in one area most. You're gonna stay in one area most, if you have a specific goal, now if you're the average person, okay? If you're somebody who is looking for just overall health,
Starting point is 01:04:56 you wanna look better, you want more performance, you most certainly should move in and out of it. Which is how we develop, like if you look at our like, our RGB bundle, which is, takes you through basically a year of them, which is how we develop, like if you look at our RGB bundle, which is takes you through basically a year of training, you will move in and out of every one of these different tempos, different rest periods, different phases, strength phases and training phases.
Starting point is 01:05:16 That is the idea. It's complete. That's the thing. It's our idea was to teach you how to program all those. And then, you know, from there, if once you've gone through all those, it's up to you if you wanna keep going through all of our programs, do it stuff. But it was the idea was to give everybody the tools
Starting point is 01:05:32 on how to utilize these types of things and how to manipulate these things, correct? Now one thing I'll say for the average person, I rarely have people go super explosive, the average person, like Olympic style, only because the risk factors, the risk is way up. Yeah, the risk is way up And here's the thing the negative portion of a rep
Starting point is 01:05:48 I'll argue for most people again. There's a special cases like Olympic lifters Were the negative portion of a rep? This is when you lower the rate should be controlled because you're so much stronger than the negative Lowering it quickly you lose the benefit of it. You're if you lower a weight quickly It's not really a challenge try to, more muscles built in the eccentric motion. That's right. In control and lowering a weight... Stability is important.
Starting point is 01:06:10 And lowering a weight and changing direction, this where a lot of injury happens. So, if you look at people when they hurt themselves on a squat or a bench press or a shoulder press or anything else, very rarely is it, you know, when it's continues. It's usually when they're going down and changing direction. Because when you change direction, you know, when it's continues, it's usually when they're going down and changing direction. Because when you change direction, the weight, just because of momentum, is heavier than it actually is. So if I drop, if I have 315 pounds on my back, and I do, I drop into a squat real fast,
Starting point is 01:06:35 when I'm changing directions, I'm actually having to control more than 315 because I have to change the momentum versus a slow controlled squat. So that's where I usually tell people for most of the time, you should always have a controlled negative. I think it's the positive where I do a lot of variation. Unless, of course, you're one of those,
Starting point is 01:06:51 you know, those athletes, like Olympic lifters, I watch Olympic lifter squat and it's funny. They drop in the hole and come back up and it crack. I know. It's crazy. It's crazy. Well, it's not how much they own the bottom of that, dude. Like, you see the way their ankles and their knees can go.
Starting point is 01:07:05 So their knees come in, their ankles row. It's like, it doesn't look like it's supposed, but it's actually advantageous. It is. Next question is from C. Kinsey32. We know that health and wellness directly affects testosterone and sex drive, but how does your sex drive affect your health and wellness?
Starting point is 01:07:22 Do any of you find that a higher sex drive helps in life and in the gym? It's funny that the help me walk down the street. It's funny that their name is Kinsey. You guys know the Kinsey reports from way back in the day. These are the famous studies on sexual behavior of humans and blue. Everybody's fucking minds. It was the first studies where they were asking about everything from homosexuality to masturbation practices to sex with your wife to cheating and all that.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Like all U-Porns analytics, like the first stab at that. Oh, yeah, the Kinsey reports were fucking just mind blowing for people. It would be interesting to look, I mean, I'm curious to hear you guys individually because I think there's a little bit of an individual variance to this right? I think that I think that some some of us have higher sex drives and if you have a natural higher sex drive the need for that for to have a you know a balanced life I think is more important. I think I have a partner that is extremely important.
Starting point is 01:08:22 100% know that if I'm stressed out or when I'm going through what I was going through hormonally and I wasn't able to have sex with her three to five times a week, I know that she's much shorter, she's doing less things for me. And I know that when she's getting sex five times a week or more, she just loves to do anything and everything she can for me.
Starting point is 01:08:42 So it 100% affects my life big time. And in positively mind too, you know, because it's a, you know, it's, it, it, it goes back and forth, right? When happy, they say a happy wife is a happy life, you know, when I'm, when I'm taking very good care of her in that department and, and, and she's very, very happy, then she's, you know, happier around me and doing more things for me, which in turn makes me more happy and makes the relationship better. So yeah, I know some people, I think it's extremely important to me too. If she was depriving me of, that's the partner I have now and I've had for eight years,
Starting point is 01:09:16 I've been in other relationships where I've been deprived and had somebody who has a low libido and sex drive. And yeah, I was irritable and frustrated all the time and like nobody likes to feel that way. This is why I think it's important that you match with what it matches you. Your libido tells you a lot about your health, your state of health, everything from your physical health
Starting point is 01:09:37 to even your mental health. There are dysfunctions where your libido can be, can seem to be super, super high, right? There's dysfunctional sex where somebody's crazy with sex and they become addicted to it or they need it all the time or whatever, that can also be dysfunctional. So it does tell you a lot. And a healthy sex drive is one that doesn't run
Starting point is 01:09:57 or rule your life in either direction. So what I mean by that is that you never have sex and you're like, oh my god, I'm not connecting with it or if it's just like that's all you think about Those are both unhealthy. So it reflects a lot about your health, but you know sex Here's the thing about sex sex definitely okay, of course the the ultimate reason why humans have sex is to procreate But it's there's a close, close second is, because we are very social creatures. Connection, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:10:28 I was gonna say that, it changes, right? Like that, maybe that's, you know, the underlying sort of thing, but it's all about like communication at a certain point. It's like how connected am I with you? How much, you know, like, you find out a lot of like, where the dysfunction's, you far as in your communication win, sex is all of a sudden, not there,
Starting point is 01:10:49 or it's one sided or whatever the case, it's like, I think it's a way that the couples really kind of share that. Oh, we're both in tune, we're all in the same track. Well, dude, for men and women, orgasms frequent, I put in quotes, because that can be different from person to person. Orgasms, alleviate depression, elevate,
Starting point is 01:11:13 feel good chemicals, alleviate anxiety. I already said depression. They help with sleep. They give people better, just a general sense of well-being. For men, if men don't ejaculate frequently enough, your risk of prostate cancer actually goes up. You actually increase your risk of prostate cancer. So we need to, yeah, no, many still can send it to you.
Starting point is 01:11:36 Thank you. Hey, babe, you want me to, I'm at risk. You want me to, yeah. No, you know, frequent ejaculations will reduce risk of prostate cancer. So sex is definitely something we evolved to need. It's why it's such a strong driver. You know, it's funny when we talk about sex, people get weird about it. But if I were to talk about food and if I were to say someone, hey, is, you know, having a normal appetite, a reflection of good health and do you need to eat food to be healthy? Well, fuck yeah, both yes, right?
Starting point is 01:12:07 Sex is one of the fundamental drivers of humans, just like appetite or thirst or whatever. You have obviously, because if no, no humans ever had sex. Right, it's why I build things. Otherwise I wouldn't. Yeah, if we never had sex, we wouldn't be able to. Well, they asked in the question too,
Starting point is 01:12:22 if it helps in life and in the gym. And I think the gym helps more my sex life than my sex life helps my... It's a reflection more of the other way around. Right. If I, there's definitely a direct correlation with when I'm training really good, and not just for the fact that I feel good
Starting point is 01:12:39 and I look good to myself and I feel confident, like that definitely plays into it. But I mean, I for sure, I remember going through the whole decline in testosterone for me and then mode of trying to motivate myself to get in there and lift. And if I could just get in there and get some squats in, I would see a positive effect over the next 48 hours in my libido. And so I see more of my gym affecting my sex life and I see my sex life affecting the gym, but I definitely see my sex life 100% helps in my daily life and my partnership and my relationship.
Starting point is 01:13:15 I mean, that's a no brainer. I mean, shit, just, you know, it's a funny story, we were talking about this. We just came off this incredible trip and visit where Katrina and I were up at a beach, and like, we literally, I think, and we had six days in a row. And then we got back to the other day, three days ago or four days ago, and had sex that night the next night. And Katrina was like, oh my goodness, she's just so happy right now.
Starting point is 01:13:39 She's so much sex right now. She's just like, what are we doing? That's so great. Like, I don't want to mess anything up. Right? And so we get to, I get to work the last two days. And just, you know, a lot of little things. A lot of little things are, you know, everyone's coming back from vacation. So we had some mishaps and, you know, just little fucking shit that normal stuff happens in a business that just gets my brain going.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Like the business is going great, but there's still always shit going on. And, you know, and I'm in the middle of all of it. And so I'm up at night thinking about it, stressing about it, and so what happens the last two nights we don't have sex. And it was funny because she was kind of like, you know, poking at me, and I'm like,
Starting point is 01:14:16 I didn't even want to talk to her, because I'm irritated and frustrated with work. And I finally looked at her and said, hey, listen, I put a lot in the bank the last week here. I said, just let me be an asshole for a little bit. Like, let me, I'm frustrated right now. My mind is somewhere, and what for me, it's like, you know, I definitely see these things
Starting point is 01:14:34 more so than I ever did. I never noticed this when I was in my 20s. I totally noticed this now into my mid 30s when, you know, stuff is going on outside of our personal life. So when it's my business and work life or other relationships besides her, it 100% affects our sex life because I'm just a cerebral person. If I got something else going on at work, even if I do all these great practices to try and settle that down, it's really tough for me to.
Starting point is 01:15:05 That's why vacation sex is always so awesome. Right, you talked to anybody. My buddy, my buddy and his wife were trying to have a baby for like a year. And they just wasn't working. They went to the doctor. They got tested. Doctors like, well, everything's healthy and whatever.
Starting point is 01:15:21 And they couldn't get pregnant. They go on vacation. And my buddy was like telling me when they got back, they go on vacation, and they normally have very stressful lives. Oh, I have to add that out. I have to put that in there. Stressful lives, they both work lots of hours, they're both very successful,
Starting point is 01:15:35 they sometimes work different hours, so don't see each other a lot. They go on vacation, and she gets pregnant. I mean, they went on a two week vacation, she gets pregnant, and he's like, dude, he goes first off, the sex was insane. We don't they went on a two week vacation, she gets pregnant and he's like, dude, he goes, first off, the sex was insane. Like, it was the best sex ever.
Starting point is 01:15:49 And he goes, and then she got pregnant and it's like, well, you know, yeah, you're on vacation, your distress is gone. You guys are connected. I mean, it fucks, stress plays a huge role. It is. And it's more so for certain people, like you said, I think Katrina and I both have very stressful,
Starting point is 01:16:05 and I don't think we're stressful people. I think we handle stress really, really well, but we have, I mean, she works crazy hours, I work crazy hours, and you know, when we do finally get to settle down and see each other, if a lot was going on at both our jobs and work, it's really easy for that to bleed into our loan time, and then like you said, don't want to be vacation like that,
Starting point is 01:16:24 you know, we make certain rules where you just shut down all the electronics and it is just about us. And it takes me and she knows she's like, it takes like two days. Yeah, now she has it down to a T. It takes about like 27 hours or so she says. It takes 27 hours and 42. Right. And she, what's great and what I love about her
Starting point is 01:16:39 is that we've done so many, I mean, we've been together for eight years. We've done this so many times that, you know, at the beginning there was a little bit of this, like, you know, rough patch, but now that she's realized that these are my patterns, she buffers the trip always with that first day. It's like, and I get, and I know she gives me that flexibility because I'm still unwinding from work.
Starting point is 01:16:58 Like when I get out of vacation, we get out to that beach, I'm still attached to the electronics. I'm still checking it up on work. I'm still doing some things. I'm not all the way there. And then after we get like a full night's rest of being on a vacation and then the next day, nothing, then you start to see my whole mood
Starting point is 01:17:12 and who I am completely changed. So. Next question is from high quality fitness. What is the meaning behind the color coding of the maps programs? I can't figure it out for the life of me. It's an Easter egg, man. This is Justin, right?
Starting point is 01:17:27 If you guys don't know, you don't know about the electromagnetic spectrum? Yeah. That's what we're going off of. Yeah, it's a very, it's a very in depth, you know, it's a universal sort of code that we're putting together.
Starting point is 01:17:43 You can figure out the colors. if you can figure out the colors And what they mean you'll get free programs. Well, isn't that the RGB? You didn't know you put all this it's like the building Blocks for all the color base. So I mean it just happened to be that way. Was it by accident? Yeah, I don't think we stone Although it would be blue instead of black. Yeah, so yeah. Well, whatever. Whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:11 Yeah, because you put that in a printer and RGB, that's what you do to print all the different colors. Here's the truth. Here's the truth. OK, here's the truth. Yeah, the guy didn't pick this question. Here's the truth. We had the colors, which is hilarious.
Starting point is 01:18:22 I literally have asked people who have asked me this question several times. There really is no meaning. Here's how truth we had the colors which is hilarious because I literally have at people have asked me this question Several times there really is no meaning here's here's how it started I created I feel like it's kind of this There's shaped up to a meaning now. Well, maybe you started with red and then I started with red because when we did our market research Red about vibrations red is the color like like like like you know Red it attracts your attention. Yeah, ready. I think those are the top three top three colors when you're in marketing the color, like, you know, like, like, you know, red, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a That's all it was. He just picked his favorite color. And then we knew that we were doing aesthetic and that was kind of more centered around me. I was like, I wanted black because I remember we talked about. The black is cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:10 I wanted to go blue. I wanted the black on black and the matte look. I'm into all that shit. So I think that was like my- We already had a color. Well, so but since then, since then- Well, there's no colors right now. Right?
Starting point is 01:19:22 Isn't strong? What's the color? Strong, strong is like a more vibrant red, which, you know, it was just supposed to be the, see, there was a little bit of thought on this. I don't know if it was an underlying thing or not, but like these programs are a little more intense, so we're gonna give them more of, you know,
Starting point is 01:19:38 vibrant sort of shade to that, because like, even hit, you know, for green is like, it's more of a fluorescent green and, you know, so there was a little bit of like, I don't know, we were probably starting. It's an electric green. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:51 Yeah. But it always works out. If you, like, somebody can put the salt together and I guarantee you like they can have like some kind of, like, meaning, like, really deep meaning behind it. Well, you're right. I think the way we fell on red and then green and black was just kind of by us picking what we wanted to do.
Starting point is 01:20:09 But there was something like Sal saying, there absolutely there was thought process putting Y red first and they were, you know, when him and Doug were first creating this to market it online, like that makes total sense to do that. The fact that performance was centered around Justin and kind of his baby that he headed up. That's the fact when he thought he was Irish.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Yeah. Yeah. You're right. What do you get now? Blue and white. What do you get now now that you think you're Scottish? Yeah. I'd be all plaid.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maps plaid. And then I remember when we were doing a Maps Prime Pro with Brink and we were thinking of medical colors. And that was, our thought process was around the blues and that type of stuff So there was little bit of yeah the gut health
Starting point is 01:20:48 program that we come out of it can be massive brown Well, it's kind of funny because when I was like even trying to develop this invention You know for you know with my partners and stuff we got and fights all the time over colors and stuff is so, like, stupid, but like, I was always under the impression that I would base it off of other companies what they did before as far as indicators, right? So, like, you know, if you do like a heat map, you go from like, you go from like yellow to orange to red,
Starting point is 01:21:17 you know, and that signifies like this intense, intensified heat, right, versus like cool colors colors, mean certain things. So if you get into with design and you get in a room with designers, they'll tell you, they all sort of provide a feeling there that people like receive right away. And so it's, I mean, not to completely dismiss it, but I do have, I look at certain things, and I'm attracted to certain
Starting point is 01:21:48 colors, and I'm attracted to certain styles of graphics and certain things for a reason. And I'm sure everybody else is, even if they don't realize. Well, it's funny, because some people will think it's like, oh, is it, there's just something magical about that color, or something, sometimes it's just that, for example, red, like why is red such a good color for marketing? There may be a underlying reason, but a lot of it may be the fact that the most popular brand of all time,
Starting point is 01:22:14 which has been around for a long time, is Coca-Cola, and they were red, and then you have Target, and they're red, and you have all these other companies are red. For example, Adam mentioned, or yellow, yellow is another good, McDonald's. McDonald's, people probably now, because McDonald's, has become so mentioned, or yellow, yellow is another good. McDonald's, McDonald's, people probably now, because McDonald's has become so big, now yellow, it's been conditioned, we've seen it so often.
Starting point is 01:22:31 I remember I went to this internet marketing course and they were talking about all these split tests for the buy button that they would use on their websites. And they did all these tests and they found that when you make that buy button orange, you make like 2% more sales or something like that. And they were trying to figure out why and one of them was like, well, it's Amazon's
Starting point is 01:22:50 color. It's Amazon's buy color. And so people just became conditioned through this big company. And so that may be the reason why some colors, right. And that's why you see sometimes now, like, and it changes too. That's why I see like a lot of blues out there now because of Facebook, because of Twitter, because of, you know, so that's more the majority of where people are spending their time. So we get conditioned like this.
