1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,120 Just deciphered that this is episode 17 of the work. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,440 Congratulations Greg, you are now a podcaster. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,680 Most podcasts in all podcast players, like on iTunes, have 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,280 less than three episodes. We're at 17. 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,880 You're like a bona fide podcaster now. 17 is a special 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,480 number because that's my birthday in September. 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,440 In September 17th, I like the number 7 for whatever reason. 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,720 Like that is like I typically do things in increments of seven. 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,960 That's weird. I know. 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,479 I don't know. Most people would be that's that 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,960 would flare My OCD needs to be an even number. 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,720 See I have really bad OCD and like. 13 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,520 Can you still stick to 7? Or 9 or 9 like. 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,920 When I do push ups, I'll do 79 push ups. 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,560 Yeah, I'm weird. OK, so let's say you have a 16 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,760 carton of eggs and you take several out and make something 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,680 to eat. How many do you leave in there? 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,480 0. That's an even number. 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,160 All right, Well, I posted something online the other day 20 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,960 that's like your OCD. My OCD flares up when I have an 21 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,000 odd number of eggs left in a carton because you can't like 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,080 balance the design, like the you can't balance how they are in 23 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,360 there from either left to right or front to back or whatever. 24 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,920 When you have an odd number in there. 25 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,520 So you have to like there's three in there. 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,320 I have to like stagger them a weird way. 27 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,800 If there's four in there, it's easy. 6 is easy, you know. 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,760 I had a lot of eggs. Yeah, I. 29 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,120 Know I've been getting a lot of eggs, chips been giving me eggs 30 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,880 and then crystals been getting eggs from another local person. 31 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,920 That one egg that you showed me, the date chip, that big one I 32 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,920 gave that 1A diesel is definitely a double yogurt. 33 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,720 Was it a big old juicy egg? Yeah, that chicken has a flared 34 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,080 butt. That was a big egg. 35 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,760 That was a big egg. I'm going to get chickens here 36 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,520 soon. Clancy is selling like 8 of his 37 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,680 I think, and we painted the chicken coop last weekend, the 38 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,800 inside of it. So now we're gonna get chickens 39 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,480 and I'll have my own eggs. What are you gonna do with 40 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,480 diesel though 'cause wasn't he the culprit last year? 41 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,120 Or last time, that was before he went to training. 42 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,960 So I think we could put his collar on now and probably, 43 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,080 like, train him not to mess with the chickens. 44 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,600 Like, I think he would be able to be receptive to that. 45 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,360 But also I'm gonna have a chicken, poultry electric fence 46 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,280 surrounding the chicken yard. So that would also keep him out. 47 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,880 Yeah, that'll be good. But we'll we'll start small with 48 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,360 only like 8 chickens. 8 chickens will probably get like 6-7 eggs 49 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,280 a day. Plus we've already got and 50 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,200 getting from Chip. I mean I could eat and I 51 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,280 normally eat like 12 eggs a day. Yeah, pretty typical like 52 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,880 Gaston. I'm like Gaston. 53 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,080 I got a lady in town here that gives me pastured eggs for $3 a 54 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,840 dozen and that's just insane. I saw somebody post that they 55 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,040 had like the alfresco eggs at Whole Foods and it was like I 56 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,120 don't know if it was real or not but it was like 1699. 57 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:46,920 Oh, they're crazy. Yeah. 58 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:51,880 If you, if you try to get decent like regenerative pastured all 59 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,760 the buzzwords, you're 10 plus dollars a dozen. 60 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,160 It's crazy. That is, wow, I don't mind 61 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,080 paying it if I know that it's done right, but like when you're 62 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,560 getting anything in a supermarket, you don't really. 63 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,120 Know you don't know it's. Probably not. 64 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,160 Probably not. So what are we going to dive 65 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,000 into today, man? So we got the Rocktown Naturals 66 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,720 competition coming up this weekend. 67 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,000 Yep. Saturday, we're going to go to 68 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,080 that, but you're going to actually, you're going to take 69 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,600 part in that like. That was totally unintended. 70 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,920 So we were, we're sponsoring it, Keto Bricks sponsoring it. 71 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,480 So we were going to have a booth for that reason, but I didn't 72 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,520 even know if I was going to go because we just had a baby. 73 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,680 And it's a little ways away. It's. 74 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,360 A couple hours 3. Hours away, but my granny's got 75 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,360 a birthday this Thursday, tomorrow I guess. 76 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,560 So I've got to go spend time with all of them. 77 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680 They're doing like a family reunion get together for her at 78 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,640 my folks house on Saturday night or afternoon. 79 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,320 So I'll go to Rock Town with you Saturday, you'll come back. 80 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,640 I'll stay the night there, spend time with the family, come back 81 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,040 Sunday. So I told them, hey, we'll go 82 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,080 ahead and have a booth. And then coincidentally 2 of 83 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,880 their judges dropped out last minute. 84 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,240 So I'm like, well I can be a judge if you need me to because 85 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,480 I'm a certified judge and they're like great, we'll use 86 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,720 you. And then they asked if I could 87 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,000 head judge and I'm like, I never had judge before so probably 88 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,160 don't want to do that. And they're like, well our MC is 89 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,040 a head judge so he could be the head judge and you could take 90 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,000 over the MC spot. And I've never MC before either. 91 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,959 But I've talked a lot on podcasts and whatnot so should 92 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,440 roll with.

Let us know in the comments. 150 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,720 By the way, we got a bunch of good feedback on the podcast AMA 151 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,320 that we did where you were reading off questions and I was 152 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,840 just improving the answers. I think that format was well 153 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:02,400 received, so we'll do that again. 154 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,760 Keep that in mind and. Yeah. 155 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,320 And just for reference, anybody that listens to this, if you 156 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,560 submit questions, we'll compile those and we shipped everybody 157 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320 whose questions we used. Free bricks. 158 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,800 So yeah, you got nothing to lose. 159 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720 And that was like 8 people. Yeah, it was 8 questions and 160 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,240 that was that was cool, 'cause. I like. 161 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,960 Just thinking off the cuff and you know, going deep on 162 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,120 something. So that was good. 163 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,600 I like the format. You and I are both doing high 164 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,320 fat this week because I had done that two week experiment with 165 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,120 the FGF 21, saw positive results hormonally and metabolically and 166 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,000 we decided to do the same thing for you. 167 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,600 For a week. So you were. 168 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,280 Basically at the depth. Of your cut, 1700 calories, 1690 169 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,200 pretty low for you. So we're doing a week of four to 170 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,280 one, less than 9% of calories coming from protein. 171 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,440 We got you at 2500 calories. This week, I believe, yeah. 172 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,320 I'm just going to double check it. 173 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,040 I think it's 2550 or something like that. 174 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,880 Yeah, 2550. So we'll do that for a week. 175 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,240 You're doing cod liverim like I was whole goal being improved 176 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,760 hormone function, increased testosterone and improved 177 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,120 metabolic rates. And it's only Wednesday at the 178 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,000 time of this recording, but you're already feeling a lot 179 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,800 warmer. So that's a pretty good time 180 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,480 cater of increased metabolic rate. 181 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,160 And then after this week, we'll drop you down to like 2200 182 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,600 probably so significantly higher than the 1700 that you were at 183 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,039 and that'll give us more caloric runway from which to taper until 184 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,000 your next show in September. So that'll be good. 185 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,080 I think that's going to be a good way to elongate a prep in a 186 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,880 healthy manner. Yeah, I think so. 187 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,919 I mean, if you think, if you look at it or think about it 188 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:47,800 visually, it's like taking, you're going to stair, you're on 189 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,440 a stairwell and you take 2 steps up for a week and then you can 190 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,280 take one step back down. So you're starting off a little 191 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,080 bit higher. On the exactly. 192 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,720 Outside of that week. Exactly. 193 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,560 So yeah, we'll. See how it goes. 194 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,600 Saturday will be the last day of the high fat and then Sunday, 195 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,320 Whatever we decide, my macros will be for next week. 196 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,720 Instead of initiating those on Monday, which is typically what 197 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,680 happens, I'll just kick them, kick start them one day early on 198 00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:15,840 Sunday. Yeah, but so far you get a 199 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,160 little bit more bloat because you're having a little bit more 200 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,920 fibre to kind of soak up the. Fan it's been. 201 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,720 It's been. Honestly, it's probably been a 202 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,720 decade since I've done much with cauliflower rice and that's what 203 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,080 I've been having 2 to 2 1/2 servings of with the cod liver. 204 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,040 So just crack it into a pan just like you were like you were 205 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,560 eating. Crack it into a cast iron or a 206 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:36,840 pan. Tastes pretty good. 207 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,160 Though, and it's super good. In fact, I'm probably going to 208 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,920 keep eating it. I might not do it with the 209 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,240 cauliflower rice or anything, but stir that all up in there. 210 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,000 Ton of salt, crack an egg, stir in some sauce, you're good to 211 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,040 go. I need to buy more cod liver 212 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,680 because I may be short for this whole week. 213 00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,800 Oh, I got some. I just got a dozen from Amazon. 214 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,840 Well, I'll order some, but if I'm short before it gets here I 215 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,400 may steal one from you temporary. 216 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,400 How many you need 'cause I can grab you one tomorrow. 217 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:07,800 I think I've got 4 left, 3 or 4 left so I'll be short a little 218 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,520 bit. Well I ordered a dozen on Amazon 219 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,440 and they came the next day. Yeah, well, I'll order some 220 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,280 today and they should. Be I bet you the pills be here 221 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,440 tomorrow. So that'll be good. 222 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Interestingly enough, you and I were training at J Street on 223 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,160 Saturday. We were doing legs with your 224 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,200 buddy Gary. We slammed legs. 225 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,080 We did 60,000 lbs of volume. We only did three exercises. 226 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:29,680 I did. Well, we did we. 227 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,000 Did 4. I guess counting calves we got 4 228 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,800 so leg press and then we did vertical. 229 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,960 Heavy on leg press. Yeah, heavy on leg press. 230 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,760 Then we did vertical reverse hack squat for like an RDL or 231 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,240 Good Morning and then. Quad extension. 232 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,480 Yeah, quad extension. That was it. 233 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,480 And then dunking the cab, Yeah. But we were there for nearly two 234 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,240 hours. Yeah, it was a long. 235 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,960 Slam and y'all were there earlier because y'all were doing 236 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,080 Stairmaster, so pretty good Leg day. 237 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,120 Yeah, I haven't done a dedicated leg day in a while, but that 238 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,920 felt good. But interestingly enough, while 239 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,200 we were there, we're talking to people. 240 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,560 That's definitely like a bodybuilding style gym. 241 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:06,360 I. Love that gym. 242 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,680 It's a good gym and we were. Talking to people who were like. 243 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,000 Hey, if you know anybody for the show, let us know. 244 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,920 You know, September 27th, bring them on. 245 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,880 If you know any clients, if you got any clients, if you know 246 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,320 anybody interested in competing and like we would say natural 247 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920 and then be like automatically all that rules out everybody we 248 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,520 know. And it's like we were talking to 249 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,960 people. I mean, they had impressive 250 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,560 physiques, but like they weren't, and they're all females 251 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:33,440 too. That's the weird thing. 252 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,040 Like they were females that were impressive, but they weren't 253 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,080 like Olympia level by any means. You wouldn't, you wouldn't 254 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,360 assume they were an unnatural. That's it. 255 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,000 You wouldn't assume they were not, and they looked totally 256 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:47,960 obtainable. Naturally. 257 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,280 Oh yeah, they looked good. But they weren't. 258 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,840 But they may be unnatural for reasons outside of, you know, 259 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,000 performance enhancing totally. True, valid point, but it's just 260 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,200 crazy that like they know so many people that would be 261 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,480 interested in competing, but the moment we say they got to be 262 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,840 natural, it like, oh, we don't know anybody. 263 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,840 It's like, so that just kind of speaks to the popularity of 264 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,280 taking drugs in the sport, which is unfortunate, but. 265 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,600 It's the reality. We live in. 266 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,960 That same day, actually, before you guys, before you got there, 267 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,160 I was chatting with another competitor or somebody who had 268 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,600 done competitions in the past. And her coach at the time was a 269 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,520 huge advocate of PEDs and was pushing it and pushing it and 270 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,320 pushing it because her hormones were maybe lower than what he 271 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,080 was expecting or kind of athlete he works with. 272 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:43,080 And he was super pushy. So she was saying that she she 273 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,960 bucked back and she's like, no, I that's not that goes against 274 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,200 what I want to do. I don't, you know, I'm firing 275 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,320 you as a coach. This is not the way I want to do 276 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,520 things. So maybe that is kind of why 277 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,080 some of these athletes are no longer natural is because 278 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,320 there's so many coaches that are out there pushing that. 279 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:03,240 And you know, I've seen several people post this week, last 280 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,720 week, whatever. It's peak week for a lot of 281 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,040 athletes right now. And we we're going to the 282 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,640 Rocktown Naturals on Saturday. So there's obviously some 283 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,000 athletes in peak week for that and I've reached out to several 284 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,040 of them and just shoot them quickly. 285 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,000 I'll DM or comment on something that they're posting online and 286 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,640 just say, hey, which which show are you doing? 287 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,320 And everyone that I've connected with is doing the other one, the 288 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,360 NPC show this weekend. That's a non natural show. 289 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,160 It's like why is why is everyone so non natural? 290 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,280 That's. Well, I definitely. 291 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,600 Think the coaches are blamed for a lot of it because I mean, 292 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:34,880 I've. Heard horror stories of. 293 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,520 Clients that are working with me that came my way. 294 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,880 Because they were pushed towards drugs from their prior coach. 295 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,640 And it's like this is this is them. 296 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,480 Doing their first show. Often times. 297 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,120 Like their coaches are pushing drugs. 298 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,120 On their first show so. It's not like they're. 299 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,520 Depending on it. For their livelihood, for their 300 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,160 business like. For any of that, they're just 301 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,360 doing it as a hobby and they're like pushing drugs on them, like 302 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,800 young girls. And it's like it's. 303 00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,880 So it's so unfortunate. It's so unfortunate because 304 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,080 you're impressionable to to crazy extent when you're, if I 305 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,360 would have thought back to my very first prep when I didn't 306 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,720 know a damn thing about anything, didn't know how to 307 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,960 even weigh food. And I hired a coach. 308 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,320 And if he would have been like, yeah, this is what we need to 309 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,160 do. You need to buy this, you need 310 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,080 to order this. We're going to inject this or do 311 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,080 whatever, you know, like we're going to cycle these things. 312 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,720 And that thing. I probably would have said yeah, 313 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,160 because I was like, OK, you know, you're the pro. 314 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,480 You have got all these physiques behind you that have won pro 315 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,640 cards and trophies and blasted shows and whatever they're doing 316 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,440 obviously is working. You know what you're doing, 317 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,960 whatever you're doing with your athletes, I probably would have 318 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,680 been susceptible to being definitely down that tunnel. 319 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,000 And I'm glad that the coach at the time, who I first reached 320 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,400 out to and worked with for the first time ever, wasn't that 321 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,160 kind. Of Guy. 322 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,400 But yeah, imagine, imagine just being so moldable, 323 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,920 impressionable, and your coach saying, yeah, we got it, this is 324 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,800 what you need, and then you're screwed for the rest of your. 325 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,120 Yeah, I mean, I don't have anything. 326 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,840 Against people to take it. It's like neither do I. 327 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,520 I mean, I look at people that are competing at the highest 328 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,160 level at the. Olympia and the Arnold and like, 329 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,400 that's their. Livelihood and they may be 330 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,160 signing an early death sentence for themselves, but like that's 331 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,320 what they chose and they're on board with they understand the 332 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,200 consequences more power to them. You know, like, who am I to 333 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,560 judge but for like. People that are just. 334 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,240 Dipping their toe into the competitive. 335 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,200 World. They're totally healthy 336 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,760 otherwise. It's like, why would a coach 337 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,160 automatically push that as like the the default? 338 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,920 And it's super unfortunate because like you go that path, 339 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,440 you can't really. Reverse or back step that. 340 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,480 And what's unfortunate is, like I used to train at a Gold's Gym 341 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,400 in Washington when I lived there, and there was this guy 342 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,160 that was, I mean, he was. Like the dealer locally for all 343 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,080 the steroids. And stuff. 344 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,760 He's a super nice guy, like I enjoyed talking with him, but he 345 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,640 would come. In he was. 346 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,600 Big but like not. Like. 347 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,240 Super shredded, like not that impressive, like very impressive 348 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,280 like bigger than me, but like not like, oh, he could stand up 349 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,200 next to Ronnie Coleman and compete nothing like that. 350 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,680 And he would come in, he'd train hard, he'd be all happy and 351 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,040 jovial and happy, go lucky. And then like a week or two 352 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,600 would pass and he'd come back. I wouldn't see him and he'd come 353 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,880 back and he'd be just like super depressed, like taking 354 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,880 depressants and just like distraught. 355 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,920 And it's like you could literally time his emotions 356 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,320 based off whether he was cycling on or cycling off because like 357 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,360 he would deflate, he'd look smaller and you could just tell 358 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,160 he was. So his identity was so wrapped 359 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,360 up and like how he looked that whenever he was cycling off, it 360 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,480 just like depressed them. His hormones are constant in the 361 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,240 state of flux and. That's why a lot of. 362 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,480 Guys never even cycle off. They just have like this, I 363 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,840 don't even know what they call it another terminology, but like 364 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,160 running and gunning or that's not it. 365 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,120 It's, I don't even know the terminology, but like they'll 366 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,640 just stay on like a blast Cycle, I think is what they call it 367 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,560 when they're taking more of it and they just have like a cruise 368 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,480 cycle where it's taking like lower dosage of it, but they're 369 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,319 never cycling off because they don't want to go through that, 370 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,960 you know, withdrawal and like deflation period. 371 00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:13,880 But to me, it's like I'm an extremist. 372 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,480 I'm like all in with everything I do. 373 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,880 So I did that. I wouldn't want to cycle off. 374 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,680 I'd be like, no, I don't want to lose 20 lbs. 375 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,720 I don't want to look less full, less vascular, less yoked, Like 376 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,000 I just want to keep blasting. And it's like you just like, 377 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,760 what's the point? Then it seems like it's a never 378 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,840 ending. Yeah, it's never ending downward 379 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,600 spiral. I was chasing the the carrot. 380 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,800 Yeah, and I feel like there's a lot of talk about TRT now, but a 381 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,080 lot of people are on TRT that don't need to be on TRT. 382 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,720 I was talking to my buddy yesterday, Chris, and he's on 383 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,880 TRT now and he and I've been friends since high school. 384 00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:49,600 He's not a bodybuilder. He doesn't lift. 385 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,240 He's like same age as me, but he eats like crap. 386 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,320 I was. Just going to say it but he eats 387 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,040 like shit. Doesn't. 388 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,280 Doesn't. Get sleep too much. 389 00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,720 Wasn't working out, wasn't sleeping. 390 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Super stressed. He tried to own his own 391 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,040 business, got super stressed so like he lost all his sex drive, 392 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,760 energy, would wake up feeling tired. 393 00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:09,600 So he changed his whole diet. He's doing carnivore now so I'm 394 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,640 proud of him there. He's been like 3 months in the 395 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,400 carnivore, lost a little bit of weight, but then he started 396 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,680 doing TRT and nothing crazy. I think he's doing like 200 397 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,880 meals a week, whatever. It's a pretty standard dose for 398 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,200 TRT, but it's like, man, you could have totally negated the 399 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,960 need for all of that if you'd just been healthy on the front 400 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,560 end, you know? So no, man, it's tough. 401 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,640 I think I mean, society in general is to a point where if 402 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,040 there's a shortcut, it's appealing to everybody, you 403 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,920 know, and I guess I shouldn't call it a shortcut. 404 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,040 It's maybe doesn't need to be the first option if you haven't 405 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,440 ever tried any of the other options. 406 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760 You know, fix your diet, fix your sleep, fix your stress, all 407 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,680 that kind of stuff. Yeah, true that man. 408 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,920 Eat some kind of liver, do a week offense, see if it does 409 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,480 doubling effect like it did for me. 410 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,240 I get to eat a whole entire toasted almond coconut brick 411 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,960 today. We're sold out of those right 412 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,640 now. We are sold. 413 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,280 Out of those, but we're. Gonna be making more. 414 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,320 I work at the a couple weeks so I get one. 415 00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:11,560 I found one we got like an employee stash of all the 416 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,840 flavors we do. But we also have a stash for the 417 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,200 mystery boxes. Which we do. 418 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,560 If you guys have ever seen the mystery box, the Keto Berg 419 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,760 mystery box, it's a pretty sweet deal. 420 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,920 You get 30 bricks a month at the deepest discount and it's 421 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,440 randomized and sometimes it's sold out flavors. 422 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,440 Oftentimes it's soda flavors. There's not gonna be any 423 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,680 blueberry muffins in there though. 424 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,040 There's like 1 blueberry muffin in existence and it's mine. 425 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,760 I would be willing to bet somebody else out there has 1 426 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,560 hidden. I used to. 427 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,720 I had one for probably. Well what year was that 428 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,520 blueberry muffin? That was a couple years back. 429 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,120 That would have been. Two years, three years 3. 430 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,840 No, it was before 23 I think, I think. 2022. 431 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,720 Maybe, yeah. I had one. 432 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,000 I even even moved here with it, like I've had it for years since 433 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,240 since Ketocon. And one day I'm like, I'm just, 434 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,320 I'm gonna eat this. And it was so good. 435 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,800 Yeah, that is a good one. We'll we'll bring it back. 436 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,120 But that protein specifically the lead time on that one is 437 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:11,160 like 18 weeks. So it's like I got a plan for 438 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,840 producing that one and we got some other exciting flavors. 439 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,320 We got a lot of other flavors in the works. 440 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,400 Yeah, yeah, 'cause I mean for, you know, this year is flying 441 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,080 by, dude. Like it's it's almost August. 442 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,200 Well, we have. We have flavors planned out 443 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,720 already almost through the end of the year. 444 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,760 We do. Yeah, we have. 445 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,400 Flavors literally planned at the end of the year. 446 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,360 I'm booking out podcasts in January right now. 447 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:31,280 That's crazy. So like it's. 448 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,440 Still middle of summer. We gotta slow this. 449 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,360 Thing down, I'm booking out podcasts in January already. 450 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,040 I got Nick Bear. Come on the podcast. 451 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,280 In a couple weeks that'll be cool. 452 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,160 And then I've got, we just signed up for meat stock again 453 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,320 next year, just put the deposit down on that sponsorship. 454 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,480 That's Gatlinburg, TN again. It's in Tennessee again. 455 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,520 It's a new venue, but I think it's still in. 456 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,880 Gatlinburg. Yeah, I think so. 457 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,120 So that'll be exciting. Meat stock was super awesome 458 00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:02,960 this year. And then we'll be at Pack Your 459 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,720 Health in December. We're not going to a booth 460 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,720 there, but we'll go and I'll speak and all that good stuff. 461 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,360 Then I'm going to Tennessee again beginning of September for 462 00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:17,520 low carb for better health speaking there and then two 463 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,880 weeks after, that's our show and then we also. 464 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,200 Got to get a retreat plan because. 465 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,840 We got to do. We did a retreat in February 466 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,880 with Bill Schindler and then. Then the second one was didn't 467 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:28,840 quite come together. Yeah. 468 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,200 The second one of the timing didn't work out. 469 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,160 It was going to be in Washington, but that one didn't 470 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,920 pan out. We'll probably do that one at 471 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,880 some point in the future, but I want to do it right. 472 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,360 And then the third quarter, it's mostly competition focus because 473 00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:45,000 we got that in September, but we might do like a mini retreat of 474 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,640 sorts with that. And then we got to plan out a 475 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,400 retreat for fourth quarter. So that'll be good. 476 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,920 We might do it here. Northwest Arkansas. 477 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,200 I could do a hunting. Style retreat at the farm. 478 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,360 That'll be during hunting season. 479 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,720 I don't know. I got to figure that details out 480 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,440 on that one. Yeah. 481 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,880 All kinds of good stuff, yeah. And Speaking of competition 482 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:14,040 related details, we just met with Jerry yesterday, the owner 483 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,040 and operator of the new Dexafit location here in Farmington. 484 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,880 And we're going to have a pretty cool opportunity for all the 485 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,360 competitors or anybody else who's in town for the 486 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,720 competition. We're going to have an open 487 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,920 house for the competitors at his Dexafit location Thursday 488 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,800 evening before the comp and Friday morning before the comp, 489 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:38,360 and he's going to offer 50% off DEXA scans for anybody who wants 490 00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:41,160 to show up and hang out and. And if you get a DEXA scan at 491 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,120 50% off, he's going to give you a free. 3D. 492 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,680 Body scan which is pretty slick as well. 493 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,600 And I've never heard of any other competition doing that. 494 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,760 That's pretty cool. And I feel like, you know, if 495 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,640 you're going to a competition, you're in peak week. 496 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,240 The day before the show, 2 days before. 497 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,840 The show is like the ideal time to get a DEXA scan because 498 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,200 there's just fewer variables in your. 499 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,280 Well, and you're, you're in, you're in stage conditioning. 500 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,280 You know, it'd be nice to have that data. 501 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,480 Then as you reverse back out of it, you'll have a reading. 502 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,040 And for your next show, you'll kind of know what you need to 503 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,560 beat in order to look better for stepping on a second time. 504 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,920 So yeah, I'm excited about offering them. 505 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,320 Jay's a cool dude. I like him a lot. 506 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:24,360 Yeah, he and he knows his stuff, like you can sit and talk to him 507 00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:27,120 for forever. He he knows the insurance and 508 00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:28,240 outs. We're actually going to go there 509 00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:31,400 tomorrow, Thursday, tomorrow, because today's Wednesday and 510 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,200 we're going to go there and do AV O2 Max. 511 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,320 Which I've never done before. Me either, I'm a little scared 512 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,480 because I don't do a lot of cardio but at least it'll be a 513 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,960 baseline, you know? Then then if we do any other 514 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,800 cardio training or hiking or whatever, we can kind of 515 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,960 revisit, yeah. I did the RMR. 516 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Test that he offered and that was insightful but with that one 517 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,720 you're basically just chilling in a chair for 15 minutes while 518 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,160 it calculates your resting metabolic rate, but you're 519 00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,360 still. Hooked up to the same oxygen 520 00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:00,960 machine. I don't know if it's the same. 521 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,080 I think it's the same machine. So yeah, it should be pretty 522 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,760 much the same setup. But then with the VO2 Max, he 523 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,240 said that that you're basically going to get like a a baseline 524 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,920 for 5 minutes and then he's gonna just steadily increase the 525 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,240 incline of the treadmill until you're going all out. 526 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,160 Until he, he says. Until you pretty much your tap 527 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,760 out. Yeah, and the whole point being 528 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,920 to figure out your lactate threshold and basically at what 529 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,520 point your body shifts from metabolizing fat for energy to 530 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,960 glucose. So yeah, I'm pretty curious 531 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,280 cause like he says that, you know, like clockwork, everybody, 532 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:36,200 they're gonna hit that threshold regardless. 533 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,520 That looks different for everybody, but they're going to 534 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,880 hit it. And the actual mirroring of it 535 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,080 is pretty consistent across the board where it's like 536 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,040 predominantly fat burning, predominantly fat burning and 537 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,400 then that drops off and then glucose picks up. 538 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,760 But what I'm curious to see is with us both having been, you 539 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,720 know, fat adapted following keto for 10 plus years, I would 540 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,720 imagine our. Rate. 541 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,160 Of leveraging fat metabolism exists for much longer than the 542 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,880 typical test subject before we go into glucose metabolism. 543 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,640 I think I think that's what's going to happen. 544 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,200 So yeah, it'll be, it'll be curious on the, on the RMR test 545 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,120 that I did, he said that he used me as an example because it 546 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:20,440 shows on one of the screens whether you're, you know, 547 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,960 burning predominantly fats or predominantly sugar. 548 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,200 And it's often times like a split, you know, like 4060 or 549 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,840 whatever, most people are carb burners. 550 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,240 And then he was like, you're the only one who've ever tested 551 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,680 that's 100% fat burning. So I'm like, heck yeah, that's 552 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,680 right, man. Well, see in 2021, I think it 553 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:44,120 was 21 when I was in prep with you, I ran several mud obstacle 554 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:46,320 courses like a Tough Mudder. I one of them was AI think it 555 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,040 was a 10K Tough Mudder. And I had no carbs prior to and 556 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,920 you know, everyone else is eating carbs and gel packs and 557 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,080 bananas and all that kind of stuff. 558 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,800 I had Keto Brick and Redmond relight in my out of the back of 559 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,560 my car before the race, and it was so weird because we all 560 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,560 started as a group. If you've ever done one of these 561 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,320 that you know, you go in waves, you start at the starting line 562 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,160 and they blow the horn and you all take off. 563 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,880 Well, everyone takes off and they're kind of at the same rate 564 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,600 and you're just kind of pacing yourself. 565 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,000 Everyone was starting to fall off and I felt like something in 566 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,320 me just opened up a whole new can of gasoline and I was able 567 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,040 to just RIP and it was like I didn't stop. 568 00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:29,240 And it was. I had no carbs. 569 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,000 Everyone's stopping at the little things halfway through 570 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,920 and having a banana or a granola bar or whatever and a glass of 571 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,280 water and stuff like that to rehydrate and get some energy. 572 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,080 I just ran right past it and not a single person passed me, but I 573 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,240 felt like I passed so many people. 574 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,160 My energy was just unhinged. It was crazy, crazy. 575 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,760 Yeah, I mean, like I don't do a lot of endurance work, but like 576 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,720 when I ran that marathon, I did it totally fasted and I never 577 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,080 once bonked because like most people running marathons, like 578 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,640 they were all getting the jail packs and goos and stuff like 579 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,400 that or like car blown the night prior and my feet were wrecked 580 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,360 because I had went from never running to just signing up to do 581 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:09,840 a marathon. So don't recommend that. 582 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,600 But like from an energy standpoint or a fuel standpoint, 583 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,360 I felt totally fine the whole way through. 584 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,600 That's crazy. So. 585 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,720 So Speaking of energy, we've we're also, we just, we just 586 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,840 kind of teamed up with a cool dude in who's gonna run the 587 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,600 length of India. Yeah. 588 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,760 He's a fat adapted athlete. He's gonna leverage A ketogenic 589 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,480 nutritional protocol. Diagnosed with cancer. 590 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,520 He is a terminal cancer survivor. 591 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,040 I do believe he's got a brain tumor. 592 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,760 His story is absolutely phenomenal and he he's setting 593 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,880 out to run from the very northernmost tip of India to the 594 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,720 most southernmost tip for 80 days. 595 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,360 And he's going to run however many miles or kilometers per 596 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,760 day. And we're going to supply him 597 00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:56,440 bricks to make that happen. So we're pretty stoked about 598 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,960 that. He's going to probably hop on 599 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,520 your podcast. Yeah, I'm going to give him the 600 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,680 podcast pre and post run. I want to kind of just hear the 601 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,160 whole story because you've been interacting. 602 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,720 I haven't really talked to him much, but I'm excited to flesh 603 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,200 this out. Yeah, we connected on social 604 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,280 media and he he's, he's a pretty cool guy. 605 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,120 And he's, he's going to do a whole bunch of, he's going to 606 00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:13,720 document the whole thing. So he's going to have a whole 607 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,800 bunch of data, a whole bunch of content, a whole bunch of 608 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,080 interaction along the way. So I think that kicks off in 609 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,800 September. Nice, that's cool. 610 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaking of podcasts, after this, I'm recording a podcast 611 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,800 with Jay Horley, who is a client of mine. 612 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,800 He's like one of the top level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu guys for his 613 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,000 weight and age. I think it's like ranked number 614 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,560 one or two in the world right now for his stats and he's type 615 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,720 1 diabetic. He does all of it with keto. 616 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,360 So like we've been like he still take insulin, obviously like 617 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,480 insulin bolus dose is minimized and he's had several 618 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,080 tournaments. He's got his biggest tournament 619 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,800 tournament in November, but we've been like manipulating his 620 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,880 macros and like kind of peaking him as we would a prep to like 621 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,880 make sure he makes weights. He competes at the under 84kg 622 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,000 and under category. But it's pretty cool man, Like 623 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,240 it's. Cool for me to see. 624 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,840 People in different athletes in different sports leveraging keto 625 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,280 and just like wiping the floor with all these people that are 626 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,840 like, oh, you got to have carbs, you got to have carbs. 627 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,320 You know, it's pretty cool. Wow, that is cool. 628 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,800 Heck yeah. So and that'll be like, I hadn't 629 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,680 got the podcast with him talking about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 630 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,560 Yesterday I had a podcast all about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 631 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,760 I'm probably just going to take the gloves off and start doing 632 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,200 Brazilian next. Thing next thing you know will 633 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,360 be you'll be all in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 634 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,000 Well, I said on the podcast yesterday, it's like, man, I 635 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,720 want to do it. I've dabbled in it like casually 636 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,640 with the crew here at the compound. 637 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,480 We got mats and everything. And I haven't like totally 638 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,760 jumped in because I know that when I do, I'm probably just 639 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,400 gonna be like, you know, just obsessed. 640 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,600 And I don't want it to conflict with my bodybuilding endeavors 641 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,440 'cause that's priority numero Uno from an athletic standpoint 642 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,840 for me. But Rigel, they've got like a 643 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,120 three to five year class. So I think it came into. 644 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,560 It. And I need to go like I went in 645 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,840 once before and they all seemed cool, like the Dojo seemed nice. 646 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,200 So I want it because we had Rigel in like swim lessons like 647 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,800 a year ago and he really liked that. 648 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,600 But it was like an hour and a half away to get there. 649 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,600 It's ridiculous. But this is like in 650 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,280 Fayetteville, so 25 minutes away and they have like 4 classes a 651 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,160 week for three to five age group. 652 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,800 So I might be able to get him into advance and like, let him 653 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,040 interact more with, you know, kids his age. 654 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,440 And like, I think I was talking on the podcast, this makes a lot 655 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,800 of sense. Like, you would appreciate this. 656 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,920 You never really did any team sports, or did you? 657 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,720 Well, it's, it's funny you're Speaking of this because when my 658 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,960 brother and I were kids, our parents put us into karate 659 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,760 lessons. So we were doing hands on 660 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,600 karate. My dad was in it too, so it was 661 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,440 like a family endeavour and it was awesome. 662 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,680 We learned a lot of, we learned a lot of discipline, respect, 663 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,760 self-control, you know, interaction with other kids. 664 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,000 There's a lot of cool core values that you build during 665 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,520 doing stuff like that. Yeah. 666 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,720 And I feel like like bodybuilding has done that for 667 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,080 me, like discipline, consistency, hard work. 668 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,120 But like, it's like team sports I did. 669 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,200 And like, I did baseball, basketball, but I never really 670 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,880 enjoyed them. And they would frustrate me. 671 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,400 Like I could be just hustling. Then I have a team member that 672 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,640 was like slacking and it was just like, you have to be a team 673 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,120 unified effort. And if you got somebody that's 674 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:28,800 like a bad apple, it just poisons the whale. 675 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,160 So I didn't like that aspect of team sports. 676 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,520 I like having a team, like I, I get that, you know, being the 677 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,280 leader of this team and having that kind of camaraderie, but 678 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,920 like I didn't get that in sports necessarily. 679 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,480 And then bodybuilding is on the complete OPS in the spectrum. 680 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,720 Like you're just, you know, independent solo, you're up 681 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,000 against you every single day. You reap what you sow. 682 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,520 But like, there's not really a team element at all with 683 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,040 bodybuilding. Just in the trenches, in the 684 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,960 darkness. If you slack, there's no one 685 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,400 picking up the slack. Yeah, but like I was talking 686 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,120 yesterday on this podcast and he made a good point. 687 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,480 He's like, cuz he did like high school wrestling and he's like 688 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,400 with wrestling, with jiu jitsu, it's an individual sport. 689 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,640 Like if you fail, it's because you messed up. 690 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,240 Like you can't point the finger anybody else. 691 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,400 But it's got a very strong team component because you're 692 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,840 learning these skills and grappling with all the members 693 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,680 on your team. So like if you win, it's because 694 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,000 they help prepare you to develop those skills. 695 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,800 So it's kind of like you're getting the best of both worlds. 696 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,680 You get the individual sport. You can't point the finger and 697 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:38,480 blame anybody else if you fail, but you get like the team 698 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,880 camaraderie because like they're helping you build yourself up 699 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,720 and vice versa. So it's it kind of like opened 700 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,520 my eyes to that functionality of it. 701 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,760 I'm like, man, that'd be perfect for Rigel, you know? 702 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,160 Yeah, that's that's a pretty great analogy. 703 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,560 So we'll see. I might, I might pull a trigger 704 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,400 and get him in involved. But then if he doesn't, it'd be 705 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,640 cool if like I started doing it too and we just like learned 706 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,200 together and grappled. But I need somebody bigger than 707 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,960 Rigel to roll with. So, OK, all right, all right. 708 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,120 We're going to compete against each other in 2027, so we'll be 709 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,680 in a bulk together. 26.
