What's going on, Ian Roberts, thanks, ketose, a.com, welcome
to episode, five hundred of the podcast.
This is a big one. Today's episode is going to
consist of myself Crystal and Ranger.
We're going to talk about the fourth.
Trimester, we're going to talk about some homesteading
Endeavors. We're going to talk about some
business Endeavors, some life goals, and just what's going on,
our crazy chaotic life right now, post birth of rigel, so he
was pretty pretty noise the whole time.
He was, he was getting pretty active, he was not sleeping, but
you'll hear him in the background.
And for sure, but if you're interested in a little
up-to-date behind the scenes of what I was going on in our life
right now, that is what this episode is all about.
Thank you all for tuning in. Let's roll the intro.
This one is episode of 500 big 500.
We got crystal in the house. How are you Crystal?
I'm doing great. I also got rides on the house.
We've been tossing him back and forth between us.
I've got drool all over my shoulder, so if you watch it on
YouTube, you can see the drool happens when you see the rigel.
Yeah, probably. Yeah, how are you passing them
back in here? I'm, that's for sure.
Yeah, the goose and the guys, and the cooing that's that's
Crystal Rogers. Sleep right now.
But I figured for episode five hundred, first of all, I'd like
to say, thanks for all the e. All of y'all that have tuned in
and listen to this podcast. 500 podcast episodes, deep over 3
million downloads. This is definitely my biggest
platform and it wouldn't be possible without all of you all
tuning in listening, so thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
We figure, we kind of Hodgepodge episode because we haven't
talked about the fourth trimester yet.
So we'll talk about them. Talk about some business stuff.
We'll talk about some family stuff, talking about some live
stuff you want to kind of just dive into the fourth.
Trimester knock that out. Yeah.
What is the fourth trimester? Because most people probably
have not heard of for trimester. Yeah, but so trimester Tri means
three. So, you only expect three the
first second, and third one master yet, but the fourth
trimester is something that's like, not really talked about a
lot and And people forget that in after you've had your baby
that that's what they consider the fourth.
Trimester it's a 12-week period after you've had your baby and
this is a time to like take care of yourself and take care of
your baby. And I think a lot of people find
difficulties during this time or need extra support during this
time and just really want to feel connected to their baby.
During this time, it's also the fourth trimester because it's
Your baby is still connected to you but they're outside of your
body now. So it's like a such a weird
transition of like protecting them and being there for them.
But outside of your body is a really weird experience.
Yeah. And a lot of people this is when
most mothers take like you know maternity leave and that's
typically what like depends I guess on the employer for how
many weeks your employer is pretty ruthless though as much
time off dog. I think I got two weeks off.
Two weeks, I think I was still probably bothering you to do
emails and payroll and everywhere.
So yeah. But what's it been like first
baby out the hatch and we got we talked about all of the actual,
you know, procedure and everything.
Right? Let me talk about we did that.
We did a birth. Yeah, we do already.
Did that. Yeah, so people definitely
should tune in to that one because it was not quite the
burst, or we had anticipated. Now Rangers, here he is growing,
he is noisy. He's making some funny faces
over there. I'm gonna go ahead and feed him.
All right, you go and get situated there.
It's crazy. I can still talk, but I feel
like when it comes to the fourth, trimester there's a lot
of Unspoken. You might just get him fixed up.
All right we're working on here. Be able he doesn't knows when
it's time to eat. Yeah.
Man, he's not doing very well with intermittent fasting right
now. He's hungry.
Is none of that. All right, is it good?
Yes. All right, we're good.
He's latched. All right, so let's talk about
for trimetric. Slept like, a lot of people,
it's an emotional time people. Oftentimes don't talk about it
and you're gonna be able to speak on that much better than
me. So, the floor is yours.
Crystal, what's the fourth trimester?
Like what look like for you as of late?
Yeah, it's it's very different for each person I think.
And it's when a lot of people find their postpartum
depression, postpartum anxieties, things like that.
I have been really lucky to not have to deal with any of that so
far, which I feel very blessed. I know it's really hard for a
lot of people and so that would be kind of during this period of
time also like taking care of yourself after having your baby,
things like that. Like because my Mine was a
surgery. There was a little bit more, I
don't want to say more care. I had to give but it was like my
had a major abdominal surgery so that was also different as well.
I didn't get the experience of what a vaginal birth would be
like. I know that that is a whole
different type of recovery. So I can't really speak on that
but there is a lot. There's so much that happens to
your body during postpartum period.
It's kind of wild. I can you just live it?
Like you just live through it and it's kind of crazy and it's
messy. And yeah, and you're learning
how to be a mom. You're learning what your baby
wants and needs and it's a lot. It is a lot, and I feel like I
kind of just like I don't know, I don't even know like I just
now looking back. I'm like, whoa, that was a lot
of stuff. How did I do that by myself?
You know, like not that like you weren't there?
But like as a new mom, like how did I do that?
Like how did I, how did I go through all that?
And like, not really think twice about it.
You just kind of do. It looks like the biggest
surprise, our aha moment, like, when people are liking someone's
listeners and they're about to have a baby, what do they need
to know? What I need to expect the
healing process is a lot. It's pretty long, I mean, that's
why they tell you like, six to eight weeks.
I mean, you are like bleeding and stuff for a while.
It's, it can be uncomfortable it.
It's hard but like you're learning to breastfeed and I'd
say with breastfeeding, just stick to it.
I got a lactation consultant, I didn't actually end up needing
it. He was a great feeder because
ever he's freaking out right now.
Yes, But yeah, get yourself a lactation consultant ahead of
time and have them so that if you need them you can just call
them because breastfeeding is so important.
And I know not everyone gets the opportunity to do it and it's
harder for some people than others.
But if you can get yourself a lactation Consultants, the ones
at the hospital aren't really that great.
Sorry for a Hospital, lactation consultant.
A lot of them aren't that. Great.
But if you get one that's outside of the hospital, they're
usually really awesome. That's what they do for a living
and they are really passionate about it.
So I feel like he's been pretty easy from a breastfeeding
standpoint though. Welcome, he's not been sucking
on my nipples. So I can't really speak from
experience but it seems like he latches quickly lets us know
when he's hungry and just pretty, pretty normal, like not
any extra issues there and we don't really do any bottle
feeding at all, unless you're at the gym, and I'm watching for
like an hour or so. And he had an IT issues with the
bottle, either on those rare. Yeah, patients.
So a lot of people have a hard time getting their babies to
take a bottle. I got one type and then that was
it. And like, he never fuss about.
It didn't care that. He's like total, he's so chill.
He's a pretty easy sleeper. And like, yeah, he's a good man,
he'll sleep with us. And a lot of, there's a lot of
controversy over co-sleeping. Yeah, but hadn't really been an
issue for us. That's what that really.
Well I get way more sleep co-sleeping.
Being with him and I think he sleeps really well and I feel
really safe with it. There's like some guidelines.
I'm like, you want to be ya, belligerent drunk?
Yeah, anyone who's been drinking tea in the bed.
Anyone who's been smoking shouldn't be in the bed, you
know, there's There are rules to kind of like follow.
Wow, you are just a crazy pants right now.
I don't know what his deal is. I think he's just tired.
Yeah he has not taken that nap yet so any Yeah, that let's see
what else there is important things.
I am the type of person that really likes to take care of
myself. I don't really like help.
I'm going to switch sides. I don't really like help and I
have a really hard time accepting help but looking back
I remember telling Robert at the hospital because I had had a
surgery. I was like, you know, go ahead
and tell them that they can. They can come.
Like as soon as they're ready because we have a lot of had a
couple days in the hospital when you say that you don't like my
folks. Yeah and Andrew you are not a
good punch. Okay, we do anywho.
Okay so I told you go ahead and like have them come whenever
they're ready to come like wool, will use the help.
And I before I was like, I think I want several days to ourselves
which we kind of got because I had him on Wednesday night and
we got to leave Friday afternoon and and but I was ready.
I was like ready for someone to be there and then his parents
got covid. So they couldn't come up.
And my parents had planned to come out two weeks after to just
like, give us a little bit of time.
I didn't have any help, I didn't have any assistance, Robert went
back to work on Monday and I had a postpartum doula, but it was
almost like a little bit weird for me because it was someone.
I didn't know I couldn't be like.
Hey, can you make me breakfast? Best, you know, like I felt I
couldn't get myself to ask because I'm not good at asking,
but had it been like someone I was more comfortable with.
I probably would have been a lot better, but instead I was up
like taking care of rigel and taking care of myself and like
doing all the things and I just had a major surgery and a
newborn and like learning all the things and it was just a
lot. So now, looking back, I, I guess
I would have tried to set Myself up for more success.
That way. It was fine.
I do totally great. I did it all and it was fine,
but I almost wish I would have used that as an excuse to rest.
Yeah. Because I think new moms need
rest. And even though I wasn't
exhausted, everyone tells you you're going to be exhausted.
I'm not exhausted. Like I actually feel like I have
more energy now than I did before.
I was pregnant. And I am tired at times like I'm
like this morning I woke up and I was like I could just use a
day where I just like sleep you know.
Like that would be really nice but I feel when I am awake, I
feel more energized. I feel better, but we're going
to be changing nutrition at all. Nope, not really pretty much.
Say the same thing, you're counting roughly track him a
curve right now. Yeah roughly I've gone on and
off tracking macros but probably around 20.
Six 2700? Yeah, probably don't ya and
there are days where I do eat more because I'm just so hungry
and then there's other days where I'm just like busy that I
like forget to eat and I'm like, oh man, at the end of the day,
I'm trying to like get into food because it's important to have
enough calories to be able to feed a baby and drink enough,
water and electrolytes and all that kind of stuff.
So, he's not had any trouble growing.
I mean, no, he's so healthy. He, he was in the upper
percentile when he was born and it was likely in Because he was
42 weeks and not 40. Yeah.
But then we just had our first check up the other day and he
was a percentile across the Spectrum and length weight head.
Circumference. He's weighing in at 15.1 15
pounds 15 pounds 10 ounces, 15 pounds 10 ounces and almost a
pound a week. How many weeks?
But he's like 15 weeks ago? Yeah, 15.
I think yeah, that's 3/8 arguments.
So yeah, I mean he's Going, fine, I don't know.
I'm curious to see like so many people were knocking us for
being key to threat. Pregnancy.
Keo, Sarat breastfeeding, assuming that he's going to have
some stunted growth issues and he's growing massive.
Yeah, he's growing like crazy massive.
He's just he's really healthy. He's like 75th percentile for
weight and 8088 sir height for length and then 90 something for
head. Circumference can big head?
Yeah. So I mean he's just he's just D.
I mean our doctor just said the other day we had to his checkup
and he's like, just keep doing whatever you're doing.
Like he's looks great, he looks healthy and just keep going, you
know, we'll see you in a couple months so yeah I was cool and
he's wearing six to nine month clothing, which crazy, yeah,
three months on. He's wearing six to nine-month
clothing if you happen to get on.
Now the nine-month open is a six to nine-month outlet and it
makes my heart so sad. I was so sad when he was two
months and he was in three to six months and now he's three
months. He's sitting see.
Six to nine months. And like, can we just stop here
for a second to be a bodybuilder.
Yeah. He's building the money right
now is get, like five chins. Yeah, he does.
Yeah, CAT5 chins, and baby fence rocking on, hold on the level.
How are you doing as far as post post birth?
Are you feeling pretty good? Yeah, like, there's been a bunch
of emotions as of late. Like, it is, like I said, it's
not all sunshine and rainbows. I mean, you like you coming to
you get like a plane, you got a routine, you get a Structured
here in life and we're very structured people.
And we have our hands and multiple things.
Multiple businesses are relationships stressful as it is
and you throw in a little baby, who's demanding all your time
and attention. And it's just total chaos.
Yeah, it is. And we've been traveling like
crazy for conferences and stuff. And so, that's been a lot, too,
because I'm still new at this. You know, he's only three months
old and, and We're still working on it, you know, but he is
awesome. He does an awesome job, sorry
he's ever being. If the bring that mic closer to
you would know if you had your ear muffs on.
But you don't know where many must I don't like the message.
You happiness can be fuzzy, I don't know.
We'll see you guys red tint to his hair was not sure where it's
coming from. Yeah, but anyways, it's been a
little bit chaotic chaotic as you guys can tell because this
conversation is chaotic, but we have been traveling a lot.
And things like that you just get like we've had like as of
late we've had like I don't know was it like 15 weeks that are
booked out and yeah there's something like that.
Yeah. Gone every single week for like
15 weeks or so crazy. It is so crazy.
Yeah. So probably not normal.
I mean know most people probably aren't doing that with a
newborn. Yeah, we took when we took him
to the conference Aikido conference and people were like,
really being King. Yeah, I know.
And I was like, I don't know if that's like a compliment or
like, wow, you guys. Are doing it, you're here.
Or if it's like, why are you here?
You know, like, he's pretty tough conference.
I mean, yeah, he was and that keto calm.
I didn't. Really let anyone hold him or
anything like that. He was just so little and, and
he's, you know, starting to Adventure out a little bit more.
But I can tell it, definitely stresses him out being around
that many people just gets exhausting.
Let me imitate crashes. The next day, sleeps, all day.
The next day. He sleeps all day and He gets
irritable. So I'll just feed him a little
bit more and just try to like get some one-on-one time with
him. Go outside walk around, but he
does great, he's great. I mean, if he's going to be our
kid, he's gonna have to get used to the chaos a little bit.
Yeah. So totally totally.
It's me more chaotic and starts crawling and moving and walking
and stuff. You're talking about emotions
and I would say, like, the first little bit, like people were
talking about, like, this crazy hormone crash like, like, oh you
got all the hormones rushing through you, and so emotional
and all the Stuff I never had that.
I never had any crazy hormonal things, like my whole pregnancy.
I was not that crazy pregnant lady I'll because you on top of
nutrition, I mean I think a lot has a lot to do with it
nutrition. Trying to stay active getting
Sunshine, all that kind of stuff.
I never had that crazy hormone thing and there was definitely
times in the first few weeks were, I did cry.
I feel like that's normal, you know, like you're adjusting to a
Raising new different life and you have someone who relies on
you for everything to change them to make them happy to feed
them to you know everything that happens in for them.
It is happening from your body. So but then I like haven't cried
for weeks like I can't cry. Like there's been a couple times
where I've gotten really emotional and like wish I could
cry right now just like get it out, you know.
But nope, nope. I can't slap.
Laughing right now. Laughing he's smiling.
I feel like, I feel like there's, I don't know, I feel
like I'm trying to really adopt a stoic mentality with
everything in life, but I feel like having a kid, it just
amplifies it that much more because it's like nothing.
He really comprehend what's going on right now because he's
too young, but I feel like having kid automatically makes
me feel like there's other people relying on me, depending
on me, and there's no good. That's going to come from me.
Having like a breakdown in losing it.
So, I got to represent myself. Sup well for him and you and
because he's Gotta Have, Gotta Have a good role model, you
know. Yep.
But he's pretty pretty awesome. Like, for me, I didn't know what
to expect. I think, I think having a kid
was like a big question mark in my life because I'm very much.
So, go, go, go have all these Ambitions, all his Endeavors and
having not had a kid before. It's like, I don't want having a
kid to become this. This crutch, because I feel like
a lot of people use their kids, as, as scapegoats like that.
They say, oh, I can't pursue this or that dream because I
have a kid and I feel like I'm, it's just like a backhanded.
Excuse for a lot of people. I didn't want that to be my
excuse. I didn't want that to be a
reason why I couldn't pursue what I wanted to pursue.
So for me, I'm just kind of reshaped the whole mindset
around it and it's like I want all those things that much more
and I want to show rigel how I go about getting those things
that I desire. So that he feels emboldened and
empowered when he has those desires of his own.
It's kind of my mind's been. Yep.
Totally agree. But then make it easy though
because I don't, you get on to me for spend too much time at
work, I do. Yeah, that is the part that I'm
not a lot of people see that but I Robert loves work.
That's, that's the thing it's so hard because like, he's doing
what he loves, but like, we're ready for him to be home, you
know. So, we now have a time every
night that he has to be home. Yes, to be home by got a curve,
You yeah it's not a curfew but it's just you know it's like if
we're going to spend the evening together or eat dinner together
or whatever it would be nice to have a couple hours because
rigel is only a wake, you know, for so long.
And I want to spend time together as a family and we're
here all day. But like I'm I've been leaving
at like 11 or noon every day and going home because Rachel
doesn't really sleep very well at the warehouse.
Yeah, so I've been going home to get some sleep.
Keep or to get him a nap and I'll work from home.
So we're not really spending much of the day together either.
So I do feel like it's good though like and we're gone every
weekend doing something. Yeah but like where as you know,
you didn't really have much of a maternity leave.
You you are not bound by like a strict schedule.
As far as like you got to be at work a certain time clock at a
certain time. So most of your responses with
the businesses you can do from anywhere which is nice because
like if he's super fast and you just want to work from You can
do that and never really stopped.
But I feel like you've got a lot of flexibility in that regard,
which is kind of nice for him because we haven't really
considered getting any day care service for that because I don't
think we need it, you know? Yeah, it's definitely.
I mean if you are thinking about working from home and being a
mom, all at the same time, it is hard.
It is, it can be a big struggle. Whoops, there goes.
It can be a really big struggle. Ghal because you're trying to
balance everything and everyday is not the same.
Every day is different one day. He's fussy, one day, he's great.
One day. He sleeps all day want.
You don't? It's just like, you never know
what you're going to get any time.
I have to schedule, like, a client call or something like
that, have to make sure Roberts available which he's like never
available. He's always like doing a podcast
or on a call or doing something. So it's a lot it's so hard to
like schedule things out because I never know anything.
Asleep and maybe as he gets older will get like a routine
nap time or whatever. But I just like to do things
naturally when he's tired, let him sleep when he's not, let
them be awake but it is hard. It's like really difficult.
It's and I don't want to say that to like scare people but
it's a lot. You have a person who relies on
you all the time plus you're trying to keep up with work and
do all the things. It just did a video full day of
eating. For rigel.
And I talked about how breastfeeding just
breastfeeding. Just them at your breast, is a
almost equal, almost equivalent to a full time. 40 hour week job
with three weeks of paid leave, and are with three weeks of
leave. So that's that's all time job in
itself is just breastfeeding and then there's like, changing
diapers and keeping them happy and take him for a walk.
The getting outside and like, all that, that's another
full-time job. And then you're trying to
actually do a full time job that it's wild.
It's so much and I don't handle stress super easily or super
well, so it's a lot, but it's totally doable.
I mean, we're definitely doing it all.
Like we haven't let anything says Robert who's not
breastfeeding or staying home with him.
I was about to ask you. So what's my, what's been my
biggest contribution as a father so far?
For the first week of diaper changes.
And no, no no answer. Yeah, the first week I was like
is that physical element? Yeah.
The first week of diaper changes that was your, that was your
thing. I do, I do what's on your
working out? Like a try and yeah, you make me
is him when I workout make me look bad here.
Babe. You want to call yourself out?
Yeah, I do, I do my favorite time of Raj.
Those like in the morning I'll make coffee and then like he's
already breastfed that point, she's pretty chill.
And then I'm just sit on my lap. We drink coffee.
I want to send him out that he is super relaxed in the morning
and it's really great. Yeah, love it and I would
suggest that for anyone who it who has a new baby, we get him
up at like 6:00 6:30 every single day and he has well he
doesn't have coffee with us but he sits there while we drink
coffee on the porch. But he is able to watch that sun
come up. And that sun is hitting his
body, getting his circadian. Rhythm all up and going and
doing good and And I just think it's really good for him.
I really feel like it's been so healthy and so natural for him.
So if you can sit on a porch and watch that sun come up with you
baby. Yeah, totally, totally him.
You made hold them. If you want to it will little
worm pass them over here. Rigel.
And so forth. Now he felt bad because he felt
like he didn't do anything. And I presented the cloth
diapers have been working. Pretty good.
Yeah, we've been using cloth diapers and less, we're
traveling for like a conference or something, where we can't
wash them. We've been using cloth diapers
and it's been great. I love them like a lot of like
when we tell people, we have cloth diapers to kind of get
grossed out but they're like, they're used to like just an
towels with a safety pin or something.
Yeah, there's it's not that they get grossed out.
I was like oh it's so so much work.
Blah, blah blah. It's really not.
I have like a little spray hose that's connected to our toilet
and I spray it off into the toilet.
You're not touching any of it, you spray it off in the toilet,
throw it in the washing machine. Yeah, boom done.
And I just wash the diapers by themselves.
Like I'll get a fun bunch of divers from the day.
There's like ten. However, many diapers are.
I mean, dirty diapers are going through a day.
I don't know, I'd have to like look at it some days, he'll
literally not go at all and then the next Next day, he goes a lot
which is totally normal. Like it's normal for them to go
a couple days or a day or whatever without going to the
bathroom. But yeah, like pooping, they can
piece that will still pee. It's pretty awesome, though.
I love this little munchkin bunt, he makes my day, much
better. Yeah, he's like a puppy, dog.
You know, that you have a hard day at work.
You come home. You got a puppy dog, you can't
be mad at anything and then Rogers like just a cuter puppy
dog, right? But he's a human, but he's a
human. He has his thoughts and he's a
little mean. Um, what do you mean talk about,
now, you will talk about some business Endeavor.
Some homesteading stuff which had a pretty intensive,
homesteading day, we cleared a bunch of land.
My folks, came up with the tractor, we cut that a ton of
trees, burned a bunch of brush piles tore down, some just
debris in front of the old shop Old Barn.
Let me take down the fence, take down the fence in the backyard.
We kind of mapped out, potentially, we're going to put
our big fence across the property.
So once we get that up and running, we can actually start
getting some animals. So that should be pretty good.
Not excited about driving fence post because it's going to be
driving through rocks, pretty much where we're at but it'll be
good. Workout, nonetheless, what
animals doing it first chickens? Yeah, chickens are just so easy.
It's a kind of chickens and a garden and then maybe pigs next
chickens garden and then pigs I guess we got to cross fence out
a section for the pigs because I don't need that much space,
right? They don't.
I mean, unless they're gonna Eat the grass, like it.
What's on the ground? Yeah, you know if you're just
going to pin them off and then like feed them with feed, I mean
they still need space because they still run around.
But what about that that Big Field that we cleared out in the
bottom? I'm going to have that for pigs.
Are we just gonna put Lambs there?
What are we thinking? I think, I think just Lambs or
goats or something like that. How little miniature highland
cow? Robert is stuck on getting a
cow. I really want to go to.
We just don't have enough land for all of those.
So think we have Italian one cow.
It's like a miniature highland cow though.
They don't need near as much space.
I think if anybody this is this is a highland cow expert.
Let us know eight. Since shoot us an email.
We need to pick your brain about miniature Highland.
Cows are just miniature cows in general because I feel like
maybe people are very expensive. So it's like are you really
Getting your bang for your buck, you know?
Yeah. But we would save I mean I don't
know if it would say it's probably like hunting, you know,
the plan on hunting cause you're trying to save money on game
meat and then you wind up spending more hunting gear and
guns and cool gear and stuff like that.
But I think Kevin cows be cool. Yeah.
What about business stuff? Where you get going?
What is Lady Savage going to be doing now?
That evolved at all since having rigel know, I kind of turned off
all my coaching stuff when I had him and then I picked it back up
again. So I opened that up again on my
website and it's been going just fine coaching has been great.
I still have my workout programs and everything on lady Savage,
but I'm just not creating more. I'm actually super excited.
I'm going to talk to you about this but I haven't.
I have Set out in my head a like workout program that I'm doing
for myself and I'm going to like just document it.
And then if it turns out great then I'll turn it into a program
which people can buy. But I want to see like the
growth that I experienced myself.
Training split. Yeah.
Just like, I really want to focus a lot on my legs but I
just had a dexa done. And all of my body parts were
higher percentage than the Average person my age and
exception of lean mass. Yeah, like yeah.
My lean mass was higher than the average person, my age.
And my legs were the only one that wasn't.
It wasn't like they were like super small compared to everyone
else. It was just like you're just
average and I thought, I don't want to be just average.
I want to be better. So so I'm going to I'm building
out a program to really work on my legs and while you know,
keeping up Upper body as well, but I'm really excited about it.
So that's my next goal to getting feisty again.
I'm thinking about doing revamping my trainings, put to.
So I did is AMA videos and somebody asked me about
full-body splits. So I did am a video explaining
why I don't like full body splits and then he responded to
me an email like this. They got it submitted, the
question. I responded to me an email with
some studies, or with a video, explaining some full-body
splits. And I'm like, you know what?
I haven't honestly given a full body split an honest effort on a
stri. So I may just do a full-body
split for the rest of the year to see how my body responds one
benefit. I think, is that with us
traveling? So much right now, like, at
least everything will get worked at some point, you know, man?
Right up again. Back to Mommy goes so yeah.
I think I'm going to revamp my transplant and do like full body
for the next four months or so basically remaining of the year.
And in the past what I've always knocked full body splits for is
that each muscle group is not going to get enough intensity in
that session because like if you're just doing a few
exercises like I wouldn't be enough to fatigue my chest for
instance, but if I'm doing that over the course of an entire
week, you know, five or six sessions then total volume.
Likely obviously frequency is going to all be improved.
So I'm not sure how it's going to pan out in the long run, but
I might try that and see how it goes.
Yeah, I'm pretty curious to see how it goes for you, but I'm not
going to join you. I'm going to do my own thing.
If it rocks and rolls, though, you mad?
And I might, yeah, it's also hard.
That's another thing is, I work out for myself and a lot of
people like that, but I personally think a lot of those
people are working out by themselves, surrounded by other
people who are working out. Yeah.
They're not working out in a gym that's empty by themselves and
that has been a really big struggle for me.
I, it definitely has made me made it harder.
It's harder. I don't know why you'd think I
would have liked internal motivation, you know that I can
like find within myself but I'm struggling to like be excited to
go into the gym and I think it's honestly a lot to do with the
fact that there's nobody in there.
Why do you think having you know like being in solitude?
Like for me I like to train around.
The training or like everyone's. So I could totally get in the
zone doing my own thing. But yeah, you know, first thing
in the morning by yourself. Yeah.
And dark cold. Jim little bit harder to get a,
it is. So I've been like, really
debating. There's a gym that's like, right
down the road that it's really that shape up.
I think, yeah, it's a fine Jim. I mean, there's a lot of really
old equipment, but it's close enough to where I could probably
make it home for rigel wakes up. And and flowers are like, you'd
be able to do that more? No, no.
I think it's funny for our. Remember, you have that little
card? But yeah.
I it's something like where I can go be around other people
who are working out and a new environment at maybe a day or
two a week. You, I just the fuzzbucket, he's
pretty fussy right now is not only this ballistic but it's
because he hasn't taken a nap. It is, I'll have you guys know.
It is. What time is it?
Like 11. Yeah, 120.
And he has not taken a nap. He took like a 20-minute nap and
usually sleeps for a couple hours.
So maybe a shorter podcast, it's such a tragedy rigel.
Snappiness, schedule. I think that makes sense don't
have an access to that. Yeah, so I think like just doing
that would be really good but that has been a struggle for
sure because Robert and I used to work out together.
Yeah, we used to work out together.
And yeah, I had my partner to spot me and do all the things
and haven't had that now. You know, so it's a lot harder
to get myself. Pumped up to work out, I do, I
do want you to make that a priority for yourself because I
know you'll do better. If you've got that as a solid
foundation because I know the type of person you are.
If you got that box checked. Yeah, just do better all around.
Like you didn't do the 50 mile March where this and I could
tell that bummed out. I was so bummed I could not do
that. But I'm even already thinking
about next year and I'm like, I cannot imagine leaving rigel
overnight, like, I just I can't like I can't imagine it and a
lot of parents do that. A lot of parents.
These are kids overnight or whatever it was that my folks
come up or something I just I don't care.
It's the still the same way. I'm not ready and so not ready,
yet. It's you get you got to live
your life to do, you know? I know but he's just a baby.
Just did a baby, we'll see, we'll see in it.
What he'll be a year old? Maybe I'll be ready at that
point but as of right now it's like I can't imagine leaving it.
Like, in general, I cannot Not. Imagine leaving him.
Yeah yeah that was a pretty cool March though, I did way better
foot wise I got last year we raised two hundred and forty
pounds our veterans. So pretty awesome rides.
Just going to do with this next you will put a little backpack
on us and walk with us a ride with us.
I guess. I don't know about all.
That was so hot. It was pretty toasty.
He get a little sunburned, we have to call this.
I can stand if I could stand and balance that would be helpful.
Is that okay? Yeah.
My little munchkin still, she gonna be in the frame so she
don't know. Not cutting off her head.
Wants to be going. Yeah.
We're just gonna have like all the I don't like going to edit
this at all chips. Not going to add this at all.
We just gonna leave all this in place.
Perfect, this is the chaos of our life.
I like it, I like it the other day we were in our morning
meeting with the crew and Chip got this experience experience.
But rigel was sitting on my lap and like explosion happened all
over me. I don't even like that.
He doesn't. His diapers are great.
Like he doesn't use the day after Didn't go at all.
I think, right? Oh, that may have been but it
was an explosion like all over my lap all over the chair.
All over everything. I was just like, this is my
life. This is this is all the chaos
that I expect, luckily less milk, you know, poop doesn't
stink. It doesn't.
Yeah. It's yellow and we call it
mustard, but for a reason. Yeah.
But but yeah, he's a trooper, he's children.
What else we got on the horizon? Trying to think of some good
high level topics here for this podcast?
Do you have anything new with like the apparel?
They perils gonna we're gonna launch the apparel this month.
So we've got the apparel totally revamped for doing everything in
house. We found a u.s. supplier for all
of our blanks. So everything's made in America
printed by us, super excited about that.
That will be launching later this month in September, right?
Really excited about this. Yeah, Bryson has been rocking
and rolling learning how to do the screen printing.
I've been to the screen printing with them, this shirt that I'm
wearing now is one that we're going to have the faith over
fear is probably going to be one of First launched designs.
Yeah, it's gonna be really good all-around.
I'm super excited that paper. I was kind of like, my little
artistic Outlet. Sub speak.
Yeah, you know, and then the brakes forget, we got lots of
things in the pipeline for the bricks.
We can do we have so much. Yeah, I don't want to divulge
too much information, but we just finished off our Brick by
Brick launch. That was way more successful
than I had imagined. So, yeah, that was.
Thank you, everyone. Yeah, thank you all who got a
break, but then we've literally got the next year.
We're pretty much mapped out for like things that we're going to
be doing with new flavors. The giveaway, like we did that
cat giveaway. That was a big success.
I think. So, we've got really cool prizes
that we're gonna be doing for giveaways throughout the next
several months. So yeah, I'm just super excited
about everything. Keto brick related and then with
keto, Savage, lady Savage when I keep doing content there, I'm in
the process of building out. A course for keto contest prep
that will hopefully launch soon into the new year.
It's me a campaign to the book that's going to be super
intensive chips going to be editing like crazy so get ready
to. It's going to be good.
What else, what else? All right, so we're trying to
lot of homesteading stuff too. Like we want to start getting
that rock and roll them with my folks brought their tractor up
to. It really made me realize how
much I need a tractor. I know I knew it would like it's
crazy like you're just not ready to buy a tractor.
Yeah, I know. But what we can do in two days,
the tractor literally would take me to plus miles without a
tractor beam. It's like mind-boggling.
Yeah, I just realized that I was like, oh my gosh we've been
living here for a year and we still don't have animals and is
making me. So sad makes me realize like we
gotta get a move on but we do need a tractor for a lot of
things. And I don't, I mean, a lot of
people, I guess, don't wouldn't guess in Arkansas that there's
that many Rock, but like we're in the Ozarks, like just Iraq
everywhere. And like, it's yeah, it's just
really hard to dig here. Yeah, but now we've got a lot of
that. Length, clear, we know exactly
where the fence is going to go. I'm going to put t-posts in with
like a fence line. You know, stretch that with
strings, we can really get that dialed in and as soon as that's
done, I'm going, start putting a fence up.
So you'll be able to start getting some Critters for too
long and plant a garden and all that good stuff.
Yep. All right.
I feel like we need to get him situated.
We've been recording for just over 30 minutes and not a super
long podcast but rides will you just, you're still in the show,
bro. Crystal did people go to find
and follow you? This is there.

feel like we've kept them pretty well updated.

biggest platform. I think it's really cool.
Just how well it's done and who knew your voice to be that
popular? I think.
Those voices more prominent in this episode than mine, but it
is crazy. I mean, we started, I started
recording the podcast in 2016 and then I'm a super sporadic
for the first like two years. And then 2018, I think is when I
got consistent about publishing them every single week and then
bump it up to two times a week at some point and then I have
not deviated from that for well, I don't know.
Yeah, absolutely. Definitely been the success.
A lot of people really enjoy your podcast especially because
it has so much diversity in. In it.
