Welcome to the Behind 00:03:37.430 --> 00:03:39.389 the Shield podcast. As always, my name is James 00:03:39.389 --> 00:03:42.129 Gearing, and this week I am so excited to bring 00:03:42.129 --> 00:03:45.650 back on for the sixth time strength and conditioning 00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:50.030 coach and the man behind StrongFit, Julian Pinault. 00:03:50.710 --> 00:03:52.729 Now, for those of you who have heard Julian's 00:03:52.729 --> 00:03:56.050 episode in the past, you will see this metamorphosis 00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:59.509 from strength training to everything from trauma 00:03:59.509 --> 00:04:03.229 release, nutrition, accessory work. And for lack 00:04:03.229 --> 00:04:06.330 of a better word, un -effing CrossFitters. Well, 00:04:06.449 --> 00:04:09.250 in this conversation, we circle around having 00:04:09.250 --> 00:04:13.110 last spoke during COVID and reflect on so many 00:04:13.110 --> 00:04:16.329 elements that need to be discussed. From the 00:04:16.329 --> 00:04:18.750 destruction of the strength and conditioning 00:04:18.750 --> 00:04:22.269 industry during that period. How removing these 00:04:22.269 --> 00:04:25.750 positive places of community and health negatively 00:04:25.750 --> 00:04:29.930 impacted the athletes. The cancer of extremist 00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:33.350 wokeism. The lack of ownership and responsibility 00:04:33.350 --> 00:04:37.350 of mistakes made during COVID and so much more. 00:04:37.670 --> 00:04:40.129 Now, before we get to this incredible conversation, 00:04:40.389 --> 00:04:43.170 as I say every week, please just take a moment. 00:04:43.470 --> 00:04:46.529 Go to whichever app you listen to this on, subscribe 00:04:46.529 --> 00:04:50.250 to the show, leave feedback and leave a rating. 00:04:51.069 --> 00:04:54.209 Every single five -star rating truly does elevate 00:04:54.209 --> 00:04:56.910 this podcast, therefore making it easier for 00:04:56.910 --> 00:05:00.670 others to find.

Thank you 00:05:45.459 --> 00:05:48.279 so much for coming back on the Behind the Shield 00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.300 podcast for the sixth time now. My pleasure. 00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:54.680 My pleasure. I can't believe it's been six times. 00:05:55.279 --> 00:06:00.240 On my Facebook memories a few days ago, it came 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.259 up, the picture when I actually came to visit 00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:04.379 you and you trained with me that one time in 00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:07.060 California, and that was probably, what was that, 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.360 eight, nine years ago now? i don't know because 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.220 i don't have access to facebook because i got 00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:16.860 banned permanently years back well there's an 00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:20.279 icebreaker let's talk about that i i got my instagram 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.740 page shut down um because i was posting kindness 00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:27.259 and compassion videos so um complete no warning 00:06:27.259 --> 00:06:33.600 it was too much about men yeah so yeah talk to 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.660 me about that let's open the the door we have 00:06:36.660 --> 00:06:41.069 social media platforms that are basically allowing 00:06:41.069 --> 00:06:43.829 porn you know on on the the normal social media 00:06:43.829 --> 00:06:47.269 we have we have the super violent stuff the horrible 00:06:47.269 --> 00:06:50.930 accidents that are on there so talk to me about 00:06:50.930 --> 00:06:53.850 your perspective on why people that seem to be 00:06:53.850 --> 00:06:57.069 trying to make the world better seem to be the 00:06:57.069 --> 00:07:00.589 most cancelled and restricted groups of the whole 00:07:00.589 --> 00:07:04.610 social media spectrum yeah but it's honestly 00:07:04.610 --> 00:07:10.860 i wish it was evil uh And the banality of it, 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.000 I think, is truly what scares me the most. Because 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.279 I see the same thing, the evolution of the fitness 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:22.199 industry, right? Where you had Greg Glassman, 00:07:22.459 --> 00:07:25.300 Dave Castro, the people like that. And now we're 00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:29.879 back to bodybuilding and biohackers. And now 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.500 that the fitness industry runs through YouTube, 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.939 you're going to see more and more of that and 00:07:34.939 --> 00:07:38.379 less and less of that. what sells the most is 00:07:38.379 --> 00:07:41.120 obviously half naked ladies and so that's where 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.980 instagram basically is going so now they're gonna 00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:45.860 i'm sure at some point they're gonna try to compete 00:07:45.860 --> 00:07:48.360 with only fan so you're gonna have girls with 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.620 subscriptions on instagram more and more where 00:07:50.620 --> 00:07:53.040 they can have their you know whatever they call 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.240 that their uber contact the stuff you don't see 00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.240 normally and then the text messages and stuff 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.250 but honestly this follows the same trend like 00:08:01.250 --> 00:08:03.889 we lost the culture war like about 10 years ago 00:08:03.889 --> 00:08:06.790 i will still blame me too to start the the whole 00:08:06.790 --> 00:08:10.050 avalanche toward that thing because what you 00:08:10.050 --> 00:08:12.870 have now is just a bunch of upper middle class 00:08:12.870 --> 00:08:17.629 college educated like elitists on the feminine 00:08:17.629 --> 00:08:20.810 side men and women by the way that won the culture 00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:23.410 wars and pressure that are telling us what to 00:08:23.410 --> 00:08:26.620 do and and they live in a bubble that is so thick 00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:29.000 that they can't imagine for a second that their 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.860 world view is not the correct one but the problem 00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:33.940 is they make the whole they make all the decisions 00:08:33.940 --> 00:08:38.460 and so at instagram at facebook but i think we're 00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:40.179 going to see in the fitness industry what we 00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:43.639 saw in the in hollywood so what happened to hollywood 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.659 also this is how come it's at the hand of a bunch 00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:50.360 of google sheet you know college educated people 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.879 that do not care about movies Well, because that's 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.440 not who finance movies anymore. If you see Disney, 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.700 for example, Disney does not make money on movies. 00:08:58.899 --> 00:09:03.259 It makes money on theme parks and merchandising. 00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.960 They never needed to make money on movies. So 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.879 therefore, who do you think was in charge? It's 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:12.600 just Google shit people, really good at finance 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.299 and pushing numbers and there. Then you get Apple, 00:09:15.379 --> 00:09:18.159 same problem. Then you get Netflix, which is 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.009 about volume, not movies. Then you get Amazon, 00:09:21.330 --> 00:09:24.870 same thing. So suddenly, instead of having producers 00:09:24.870 --> 00:09:28.570 that are responsible to the public, you have 00:09:28.570 --> 00:09:31.110 producers that are responsible to people that 00:09:31.110 --> 00:09:33.529 do not care about movies, that only care about 00:09:33.529 --> 00:09:36.049 their bottom line. And those people make the 00:09:36.049 --> 00:09:38.970 decisions. And so you take that within a bubble 00:09:38.970 --> 00:09:41.269 and a culture war and you push it forward and 00:09:41.269 --> 00:09:43.870 you end up with people that are just horrible 00:09:43.870 --> 00:09:47.590 at what they do. And so after that, it's... the 00:09:47.590 --> 00:09:49.649 bubble they live in and making sure they look 00:09:49.649 --> 00:09:51.629 good with their friends and they go look who 00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:54.370 i ban we don't have those people on my platform 00:09:54.370 --> 00:09:58.649 and then you get that basically you know cultural 00:09:58.649 --> 00:10:01.169 war going into the stuff so people like us are 00:10:01.169 --> 00:10:03.370 the first one to go but don't worry he's coming 00:10:03.370 --> 00:10:05.590 to you as well that's the thing with identity 00:10:05.590 --> 00:10:09.830 politics is sooner or later he'll be you he starts 00:10:09.830 --> 00:10:12.379 with us all the white men but don't worry Don't 00:10:12.379 --> 00:10:14.720 worry. Sooner or later, they'll be at your doorstep 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.519 and you will be the undesirable. And since it's 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.779 a Google sheet, they'll press that button on 00:10:20.779 --> 00:10:23.240 you just like they did on us. Me, I got banned 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:27.019 because I dare talk about the Wuhan virus. Like 00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:29.500 that maybe came from a lab. And back then you 00:10:29.500 --> 00:10:31.360 could not say that. So I got banned permanently. 00:10:31.659 --> 00:10:34.100 And then I got shadow banned on YouTube as well 00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:37.980 and the whole thing. But so men's values are 00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:40.820 not exactly hip right now, right? Because we're 00:10:40.820 --> 00:10:43.450 going back to... upper middle class, you know, 00:10:43.490 --> 00:10:46.450 very feminine and everything, like people are 00:10:46.450 --> 00:10:50.509 us, are the problem, and so therefore. But I 00:10:50.509 --> 00:10:53.090 don't think there's, unfortunately, I wish there 00:10:53.090 --> 00:10:56.070 was an evil there, because it would be a lot 00:10:56.070 --> 00:10:59.830 easier to fight. I just think there's just an 00:10:59.830 --> 00:11:03.470 apathy and a lack of care, and men can suffer, 00:11:03.590 --> 00:11:06.070 who cares, because honestly, it doesn't create 00:11:06.070 --> 00:11:09.129 a ripple. It never did. Men are expendable, always 00:11:09.129 --> 00:11:11.070 will be, that's okay, that's all wrong. That 00:11:11.070 --> 00:11:14.649 always will be the case. And so to those people, 00:11:14.750 --> 00:11:18.070 they're like, what difference does it make? It's 00:11:18.070 --> 00:11:21.409 the apathy of it that scares me the most. Well, 00:11:21.529 --> 00:11:23.970 I think where I've seen it so blatant recently 00:11:23.970 --> 00:11:26.529 is, and I talk about this all the time and I 00:11:26.529 --> 00:11:28.090 was talking about it and then I got shut down 00:11:28.090 --> 00:11:30.870 on Instagram. There may be a correlation there, 00:11:30.990 --> 00:11:32.629 but, you know, because I talked about, you know, 00:11:32.649 --> 00:11:35.350 the vaccine mandates and how it was wrong with, 00:11:35.409 --> 00:11:37.149 you know, everyone, everyone that was holding 00:11:37.149 --> 00:11:39.730 the line. And then, you know, most recently is 00:11:39.730 --> 00:11:43.639 with Gaza. it's not taking a side it's like okay 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:45.580 you guys have been at each other's throats there's 00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:47.960 you know it's very similar to the uk and northern 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:52.620 ireland that i grew up with um yeah but then 00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:55.580 you have this massive overreaction and you know 00:11:55.580 --> 00:11:57.879 right at the very beginning the people that i 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.120 surround myself with were like well time out 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:03.279 this is this is not a reaction to one thing this 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.480 is you know like i said this is watching someone 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:07.320 get punched in the face and then the other person 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.080 beating them to death there's a certain point 00:12:09.690 --> 00:12:13.190 where it's not a retaliation anymore and to have 00:12:13.190 --> 00:12:16.669 an apathetic nation the tens of thousands of 00:12:16.669 --> 00:12:19.490 children are being slaughtered no child can be 00:12:19.490 --> 00:12:22.789 a member of hamas no infant you know the paramedics 00:12:22.789 --> 00:12:25.169 the firefighters the doctors the nurses they're 00:12:25.169 --> 00:12:27.470 all just trying to live their life or even you 00:12:27.470 --> 00:12:29.730 know the the people at the front line are trying 00:12:29.730 --> 00:12:32.049 to rescue lives and save lives and preserve lives 00:12:32.049 --> 00:12:34.730 and they're being slaughtered the apathy and 00:12:34.730 --> 00:12:37.789 the lack of courage to stand up and say that 00:12:37.789 --> 00:12:40.669 is wrong Yeah, it doesn't make you an anti -Semite, 00:12:40.669 --> 00:12:42.289 you know what I mean? But to just have the courage 00:12:42.289 --> 00:12:45.309 to say that is wrong, the fact that this nation 00:12:45.309 --> 00:12:48.090 won't do that, that's absolutely terrifying. 00:12:48.309 --> 00:12:53.169 This nation also did not say anything while we 00:12:53.169 --> 00:12:57.289 are sterilizing 10 ,000 kids. It's still happening 00:12:57.289 --> 00:12:59.710 today. I'm sorry, but like, so the trans movement 00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:02.490 is losing because of women's sports, but not 00:13:02.490 --> 00:13:05.110 because we're sterilizing kids. What does that 00:13:05.110 --> 00:13:06.830 tell you as to where we are? Isn't that insane? 00:13:07.580 --> 00:13:10.700 that the trans movement is losing because of 00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:13.360 women's sports. Because now women are like, well, 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.820 that's not fair. But transitioning kids at eight 00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:22.139 with cancer drugs, and we know the consequences 00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:24.379 of that. We know the sterilization with the pre 00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:26.720 -hormone blood. We know all this. That didn't 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.600 move the needle, but women's sports do. So what 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.360 I mean, like, then do you really think Gaza is 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.590 going to move that? No, I think it is now. It 00:13:38.590 --> 00:13:41.309 is now, but that's after, you know, 60 plus thousand 00:13:41.309 --> 00:13:43.769 dead, of which 20 ,000 were children. People 00:13:43.769 --> 00:13:45.950 are now going, oh, but I don't think it's because 00:13:45.950 --> 00:13:48.269 it's coming from a place of courage and compassion. 00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:50.809 It's coming a place of, oh shit, other people 00:13:50.809 --> 00:13:52.690 are talking about it now. Let's talk about that 00:13:52.690 --> 00:13:54.850 so we don't seem like we're the bad guys. They 00:13:54.850 --> 00:13:57.889 went so far into it. They went so far past what 00:13:57.889 --> 00:14:00.990 is... Like, look, if they had cut that in half, 00:14:01.049 --> 00:14:03.350 people... would have been like, oh, yeah, they 00:14:03.350 --> 00:14:05.730 went a bit too far. Like, at some point, you 00:14:05.730 --> 00:14:08.049 have to go like, look, it's been too long. Like, 00:14:08.070 --> 00:14:11.470 come on, people, like, hello. But, yeah, but 00:14:11.470 --> 00:14:13.710 at the same time, like, I'm still surprised it 00:14:13.710 --> 00:14:16.509 lasted that long because now you're being called 00:14:16.509 --> 00:14:19.669 an anti -Semite. And the anti -DEI people now 00:14:19.669 --> 00:14:22.669 are pro -DEI when it comes to Israel. So we're 00:14:22.669 --> 00:14:24.429 going to end up in the same place we always do. 00:14:24.490 --> 00:14:28.899 Like, that culture war we lost a while ago. I 00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:30.759 think it's Jordan Peterson who was saying that 00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.580 the first war we had to understand was the first 00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:37.519 war of competence. Own competence. And honestly, 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.820 that's what I see. I just see of we get rid of 00:14:40.820 --> 00:14:43.320 competent people, that's what you get. For example, 00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:47.320 why do you get Gaza? Because Biden was half asleep 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:51.440 the entire time. No one is truly in charge. Then 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.840 you let Netanyahu in charge and he does what 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:56.940 he always wanted. We should get rid of them anyway. 00:14:57.539 --> 00:14:59.940 And so now they just, you know, like they don't, 00:14:59.940 --> 00:15:02.799 that's how evil moves. It doesn't have to be 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.320 a big thing. It's just you let it slide and then 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.200 you just, and then, and then, and then, and then 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:09.519 you get a stupid situation like a Biden who's 00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:13.000 not capable of running a country like the U .S. 00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.580 And four years later, you wake up and you go, 00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.620 what just happened? But look at what COVID did. 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:21.100 How many people did COVID kill? Like how many 00:15:21.100 --> 00:15:24.960 suicides? How many? alcoholism i mean kids abused 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:28.279 women abused men like and we're never going to 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.320 tally it up and we still don't talk about it 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:35.019 well let's get to that yeah that is that is insane 00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:37.679 to me that we are talking about epstein as we 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.700 should as we should but not about the covet files 00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:44.379 that is nuts to me three years shut down the 00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:47.700 world like buddy how many poor people start because 00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:50.019 of this Because we have the number, right? And 00:15:50.019 --> 00:15:51.940 we're not talking about that. That, to me, is 00:15:51.940 --> 00:15:53.940 just mind -boggling. That's why the guys I stopped 00:15:53.940 --> 00:15:57.440 on this week, it surprises me to talk about it 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.740 as much as they do. Well, when we sat down, it 00:16:00.740 --> 00:16:04.860 was February 2022. So in Florida here, we had 00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:06.860 already kind of gone back to normal by that point. 00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:09.200 But there were many other places around the country 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.919 and the world that still weren't. And I think 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:15.019 you and I, I revisited all. all of the people 00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:17.200 that I had on the show that could give actionable 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:19.019 information to people in their homes, whether 00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:20.679 it was nutritionists, mental health, strength 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.379 and conditioning, because the only truth, in 00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:26.080 my opinion, in COVID was the healthier the nation, 00:16:26.179 --> 00:16:30.500 the higher chance of survival, period. So let's 00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:32.879 revisit it now in 2025, because I couldn't agree 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:36.519 with you more. The back end of this in America, 00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:39.820 we have 70 % of the population that's obese or 00:16:39.820 --> 00:16:42.019 overweight. We have smoking, we have all these 00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:46.179 other things. You know, if they really were worried 00:16:46.179 --> 00:16:48.360 about the health of the nation, we would have 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.820 seen local farmers, you know, subsidized to grow 00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:52.820 organic food. We would have seen PE programs 00:16:52.820 --> 00:16:55.340 put back in school, real food cooked in school, 00:16:55.500 --> 00:16:57.279 you know, all these different initiatives to 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.240 make the country better. But like you said, the 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.019 moment this thing kind of finally concluded, 00:17:02.259 --> 00:17:06.940 there was not a single mention of. you know what 00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:08.799 have we learned and then what can we do to prevent 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.500 the next one so i have my opinion so i'm going 00:17:11.500 --> 00:17:13.420 to give you the mic talk to me about you know 00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:16.359 from february 2022 onwards and your reflection 00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.720 of this right so actually i have an interesting 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.700 view on this because of what happened so when 00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:24.400 i'm talking to you i'm in amsterdam right and 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.819 we have the lockdowns nine o 'clock till like 00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:29.279 six or eight in the morning where you can't be 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.380 on the streets the whole stuff liquor stores 00:17:31.380 --> 00:17:33.559 are open in the u .s remember but not the gyms 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.299 so they closed the gym they didn't even let you 00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:39.920 train at the park anymore you couldn't even go 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.660 to the park to train outside by yourself even 00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:44.740 that they started closing down it was insane 00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:47.400 and even during the day was you could you couldn't 00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:51.259 have group classes like the shutdown was the 00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:53.680 most insane thing that we know for now is complete 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.400 bullshit which is what we said at the time so 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.200 i'm i moved to brazil right so turn out the pandemic 00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.339 in brazil lasted three weeks and everybody went 00:18:04.339 --> 00:18:07.559 like no you know type of things like we're not 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:09.900 doing that again so you know what's the most 00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:13.099 interesting thing in that is if covet had been 00:18:13.099 --> 00:18:15.279 what he said he was and as dangerous as they 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.400 said he was the favelas would have been overrun 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.980 with bodies because those are places that are 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:24.220 you know on top of each other or hygiene everybody's 00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:28.000 living like this and you have no access to certain 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.180 parts of it so the bodies would have been piling 00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:33.839 up on the street and you know what we saw nothing 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:38.859 but the difference is brazil everybody is very 00:18:38.859 --> 00:18:40.980 fit right by the way they don't eat that well 00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:43.900 they love sweets they don't eat that well it's 00:18:43.900 --> 00:18:47.259 mostly rice and beans and but they are active 00:18:47.259 --> 00:18:49.680 people they're much stronger they're much younger 00:18:50.509 --> 00:18:53.430 stuff like that. So at first you saw the wave 00:18:53.430 --> 00:18:56.970 of, you know, like older people, basically the 00:18:56.970 --> 00:18:59.269 weaker part of the population. They got hit, 00:18:59.390 --> 00:19:01.869 unfortunately, like everywhere else, right? Then 00:19:01.869 --> 00:19:04.210 a lot of the death got attributed to COVID, even 00:19:04.210 --> 00:19:06.730 though it wasn't that. But after that, it died 00:19:06.730 --> 00:19:10.069 down and people, no one talked about Brazil at 00:19:10.069 --> 00:19:12.990 it because the numbers were fairly low. And I 00:19:12.990 --> 00:19:14.730 can tell you, I don't care what the numbers are 00:19:14.730 --> 00:19:17.170 because it's a huge country. We saw it in the 00:19:17.170 --> 00:19:20.930 favelas. There was no bodies. In the favela, 00:19:20.930 --> 00:19:22.769 overrunning the streets like it should have been. 00:19:23.289 --> 00:19:25.349 It's in Africa, like you would expect. If you 00:19:25.349 --> 00:19:29.349 have a true pandemic, places like the favelas 00:19:29.349 --> 00:19:31.250 and everything would be as you can imagine. You 00:19:31.250 --> 00:19:32.210 know what I mean? You would have bodies everywhere 00:19:32.210 --> 00:19:34.630 because you can't get them out, like all that 00:19:34.630 --> 00:19:37.789 stuff. You had none of that. Why? Because Brazil 00:19:37.789 --> 00:19:40.690 is a healthier country. People have better habits. 00:19:40.890 --> 00:19:42.849 They don't eat the best, but at least they move. 00:19:44.369 --> 00:19:46.670 They're not as fat. They're not as big. They 00:19:46.670 --> 00:19:48.529 don't have diabetes. That's what it came down 00:19:48.529 --> 00:19:52.309 to. And so there was one pandemic, three weeks, 00:19:52.329 --> 00:19:56.069 everybody went back to work. This affected mostly 00:19:56.069 --> 00:20:00.950 rich countries, rich people. So the only places 00:20:00.950 --> 00:20:03.269 where the pandemic lasted a bit longer in Brazil 00:20:03.269 --> 00:20:05.809 were the places where they had more money because 00:20:05.809 --> 00:20:09.230 they followed the U .S. The U .S. sneezes, the 00:20:09.230 --> 00:20:13.829 rest of the world catches a cold, as usual. So 00:20:13.829 --> 00:20:15.630 that's why the pandemic lasted as long as it 00:20:15.630 --> 00:20:18.410 did. But by the way, here we had a vaccine mandate. 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:22.039 for a bunch of stuff that most people didn't 00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.400 follow, or got fake ones, because this is Brazil. 00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:28.640 And I came to the US, I had to do the vaccine. 00:20:28.779 --> 00:20:31.099 I could not find a doctor who would do a fake 00:20:31.099 --> 00:20:32.880 one, unfortunately, so I had to get the real 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:36.700 one. But that was the only way for me to travel. 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:40.319 We're not even talking about that. You know that 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.720 bullshit vaccine that was supposed to keep us 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:46.519 from contaminating others or us? Yeah. So that 00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.650 was a lie too, eh? How interesting. And then 00:20:49.650 --> 00:20:52.349 we're not talking about that anymore. And Fauci 00:20:52.349 --> 00:20:55.549 is still not in jail. Interesting. I had to take 00:20:55.549 --> 00:20:57.769 the vaccine to travel as well. And this is the 00:20:57.769 --> 00:20:59.450 thing with, you know, with the conversation at 00:20:59.450 --> 00:21:01.829 the time, you know, for me, that was a choice. 00:21:01.970 --> 00:21:04.509 I volunteered to have it because, you know, of 00:21:04.509 --> 00:21:06.390 the mandates, you know, when I was traveling 00:21:06.390 --> 00:21:08.109 and then I was going to visit my grandmother, 00:21:08.210 --> 00:21:12.130 who was almost 105. So, you know, so I'm like, 00:21:12.190 --> 00:21:15.440 well, I'm going to reduce. To take the vaccine 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:17.539 so I could feed my family. That's true. I had 00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:20.599 that choice. Exactly. But to force it on the 00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:24.339 very people that had no vaccine, no PPE, were 00:21:24.339 --> 00:21:26.200 not in their homes, were worried about bringing 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.359 this disease back to their family early on when 00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:30.779 they thought it was going to kill everyone. No 00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:32.259 one had a problem with those people being on 00:21:32.259 --> 00:21:34.960 the front line then. And then there's a 180. 00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:36.880 And now if they don't take the vaccine, they 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.880 literally terminate. And I spoke to someone, 00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.960 I think it was, where are we now? I think it 00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:46.180 was the end of last year. So end of 2024. And 00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:48.519 he I think he had just been terminated then. 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:50.619 And they're still to this day now trying to take 00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:53.779 jobs from California and first responders. So 00:21:53.779 --> 00:21:55.759 this is the conversation we need to be having, 00:21:55.819 --> 00:21:58.779 because like you said, the efficacy ultimately 00:21:58.779 --> 00:22:01.819 is 50 50, which is no different than a placebo 00:22:01.819 --> 00:22:04.279 or anything else, you know. So it was never, 00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:06.960 ever the vaccine that people said it was going 00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:09.099 to be like, you know, if you take it, you stop 00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:11.200 the spread. I don't think people had a problem. 00:22:11.630 --> 00:22:13.750 as much if that was the case but they were lied 00:22:13.750 --> 00:22:17.930 to even found she said that was that was not 00:22:17.930 --> 00:22:20.710 science made he just made it up but that closed 00:22:20.710 --> 00:22:25.849 all gyms basically right that's how we based 00:22:25.849 --> 00:22:29.289 the restaurants gyms places of the church places 00:22:29.289 --> 00:22:32.769 of worship not uh for whatever reason not uh 00:22:32.769 --> 00:22:36.190 for booze like go figure uh like liquor store 00:22:36.190 --> 00:22:39.779 they were not affected but um Every single place, 00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:41.900 like gyms and everything, closed because of that 00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:46.299 six -foot rule. So those are the decisions that 00:22:46.299 --> 00:22:49.500 sank all of us, our businesses, our industry, 00:22:49.980 --> 00:22:53.359 everything. I lost 90 % of my business, but at 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.339 least I still had a business. The reason I lost 00:22:55.339 --> 00:22:58.480 90 % of my business is because all my friends 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:02.599 and coaches lost their business, 100%. I didn't 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.500 have coaches anymore because there was no gyms. 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:08.630 That's insane. And you realize that six foot 00:23:08.630 --> 00:23:11.109 was bullshit, the mask was bullshit, the vaccine 00:23:11.109 --> 00:23:13.630 was a lie, and we're not going to talk about 00:23:13.630 --> 00:23:17.829 it? Where is my whoops? You destroyed my industry. 00:23:18.029 --> 00:23:21.730 I spent my entire life building the stuff. I've 00:23:21.730 --> 00:23:24.250 helped people. You know what I mean? I do good 00:23:24.250 --> 00:23:27.309 work for society. That was the deal. I'm a good 00:23:27.309 --> 00:23:30.309 boy. I pay my taxes. I help people, right? I 00:23:30.309 --> 00:23:34.049 try to help society. The deal was you let me 00:23:34.049 --> 00:23:36.869 do that. And you're just going to wipe that out, 00:23:36.930 --> 00:23:40.009 wipe out my entire industry, and I don't even 00:23:40.009 --> 00:23:44.109 get whoops. Forget sorry. I don't even get whoops. 00:23:44.609 --> 00:23:48.230 Ah, maybe, no, not even that. We're just not 00:23:48.230 --> 00:23:50.390 going to talk about it. Wiped out, 10 years. 00:23:50.509 --> 00:23:52.109 I mean, a lifetime, but you know what I mean. 00:23:52.170 --> 00:23:55.130 10 years of actual work, Jim, gone. And, ah, 00:23:55.250 --> 00:24:00.430 yeah, sucks to be you. And that's the society 00:24:00.430 --> 00:24:03.170 you guys want us to go to. The problem is... 00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:06.640 And it's a microcosm. You see that with CrossFit, 00:24:06.660 --> 00:24:09.980 but it's everywhere. You know, like CJ Martin 00:24:09.980 --> 00:24:16.500 from Invictus? Yes. He was about to become a 00:24:16.500 --> 00:24:22.000 partner in a major law firm in San Diego at that 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:25.279 time, right? He's very, very smart, and he would 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:27.359 have done very well. And instead of that, he 00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:29.319 chooses CrossFit and the fitness world because 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.579 he wants to help people. Right. Do you think 00:24:33.579 --> 00:24:37.059 a C .J. Martin makes the same choice today? No. 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.079 After what we just showed, like how we treat, 00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.720 no. So this is who we're going to lose, competent 00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:47.819 people, the good ones. What do you think happens 00:24:47.819 --> 00:24:49.859 in five years, ten years, when you have just 00:24:49.859 --> 00:24:54.059 incompetent coaches running global gyms and the 00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:56.160 biohackers come in? They're just going to sell 00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:59.220 you peptides and all that shit instead of having 00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:01.920 people that truly care and try to... further 00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.599 the world of fitness. Ray Glassman, as imperfect 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.839 as a man as he was, has helped more women in 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:09.680 the fitness industry than anybody else combined. 00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:12.839 He's changed the way we train women. Those people 00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:14.819 will not be there anymore. Who do you think we're 00:25:14.819 --> 00:25:16.740 going to get? We're going to get the Google shit 00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:19.519 people from Disney. And then they're going to 00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:21.220 come in and they're going to have their DEI and 00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:22.799 they're going to want to put black women everywhere 00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:25.220 and everything. But at the end, the rate of diabetes 00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:27.799 will go up and people will be less fit and then, 00:25:27.859 --> 00:25:30.660 and then, and then, and then. This is how you 00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:34.299 Get rid of entire industries. Just get rid of 00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:37.200 the good ones at the top. You know that it's 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:39.740 called what? Price is law of economics. That 00:25:39.740 --> 00:25:44.240 on a project, 50 % of the work is being done 00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:46.319 by the square root of the people assigned to 00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:49.140 the project. Have you ever heard that law? I 00:25:49.140 --> 00:25:53.819 have. So 50 % of the work is done by the square 00:25:53.819 --> 00:25:56.859 root of people assigned to a project. That means 00:25:56.859 --> 00:26:00.119 that you have 100%, 10 people do 50 % of the 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.339 work. so also tells you 10 people three people 00:26:03.339 --> 00:26:05.839 do have to work that's about right 100 people 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:09.079 10 people do have to work so the bigger the project 00:26:09.079 --> 00:26:12.200 the more waste you get which is an interesting 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:14.859 anyway so but you know how you get rid of you 00:26:14.859 --> 00:26:17.000 get to a big project you get rid of those 10 00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:21.940 now you get 90 of people doing 50 but those 10 00:26:21.940 --> 00:26:26.000 people where the one that matters it's not that 00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:28.279 hard to get rid of those it's hard to keep them 00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:31.089 but it's very easy to not to not have them wrong. 00:26:31.250 --> 00:26:35.410 And now you get 90 % and that basically was 50 00:26:35.410 --> 00:26:38.710 % of that. Now you got nine people doing 50 % 00:26:38.710 --> 00:26:41.109 of it. And then, you know what I mean? And then 00:26:41.109 --> 00:26:43.869 you keep going on like that. And before you know 00:26:43.869 --> 00:26:46.529 it, you end up with a society that is profoundly 00:26:46.529 --> 00:26:48.970 incompetent and everybody's going to wonder why 00:26:48.970 --> 00:26:51.829 shit starts to break down everywhere. Because 00:26:51.829 --> 00:26:53.609 you got rid of those 10 people that were doing 00:26:53.609 --> 00:26:56.250 half the work. That's why. That's really interesting. 00:26:56.250 --> 00:26:59.049 But you got 90 left, so it doesn't matter, right? 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.140 It's interesting because that mirrors what we're 00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:04.619 going through in the first responder professions 00:27:04.619 --> 00:27:08.619 at the moment when it was very competitive. And 00:27:08.619 --> 00:27:11.339 it's not that they've been really well supported 00:27:11.339 --> 00:27:13.480 at this point. Sadly, there's been a devolution 00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:16.240 of the working environment. Great, great people, 00:27:16.339 --> 00:27:19.380 super competitive, especially post 9 -11. But, 00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:22.299 you know, as people have started to realize that 00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:24.859 we have the cancers and the suicides and divorces 00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:27.700 and alcoholism and all the other things. And 00:27:27.700 --> 00:27:30.619 then people aren't, like you said, wanting to 00:27:30.619 --> 00:27:32.559 go in these professions anymore. That's creating 00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:35.220 more of a void. That's creating more spaces that 00:27:35.220 --> 00:27:37.599 people are forced to work overtime. And now the 00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.230 hiring standard comes down. So the same way what 00:27:41.230 --> 00:27:43.410 we've done is by not addressing the things that 00:27:43.410 --> 00:27:45.170 are broken in the first responder profession, 00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:48.769 we too are kind of driving away that 10%. Now, 00:27:48.789 --> 00:27:50.130 there's still a lot of good people in the fire 00:27:50.130 --> 00:27:53.089 service, but more of that 90 % are coming in 00:27:53.089 --> 00:27:54.549 because they're like, we just come in. We need 00:27:54.549 --> 00:27:55.970 people. You know, you're out of high school. 00:27:56.069 --> 00:27:58.349 You got a heartbeat. Okay, come on in. And so 00:27:58.349 --> 00:28:00.890 with that, you find some great people by accident 00:28:00.890 --> 00:28:02.809 and you have some people that are liability. 00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:05.640 then it kind of costs that department a lot of 00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:08.319 money down the road. And this is what I'm starting 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:10.220 to understand now. And, you know, I'm not the 00:28:10.220 --> 00:28:12.099 sharpest tool in the box. It's taken me to 51 00:28:12.099 --> 00:28:15.779 to understand it. But all these cries, for example, 00:28:15.779 --> 00:28:18.460 financially, oh, we need more tax money or, you 00:28:18.460 --> 00:28:20.019 know, fire department needs a greater budget. 00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:23.400 It's bullshit. It's the false economy of the 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:25.799 way that you're working. Like you said, if you 00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.000 have, you know, 10 % that are working, so 10 00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:31.730 people are doing 50 % of the work. And then you 00:28:31.730 --> 00:28:35.089 can figure out how another 20 people can do the 00:28:35.089 --> 00:28:36.589 other side because you're going to have the people 00:28:36.589 --> 00:28:39.630 that are the best workers. Now, you know, that's 00:28:39.630 --> 00:28:42.269 going to give you the same productivity as those 00:28:42.269 --> 00:28:45.009 hundred. And so you search for those people that 00:28:45.009 --> 00:28:47.430 are, you know, wanting to do the job and then 00:28:47.430 --> 00:28:49.609 you pour your money into them and give them a 00:28:49.609 --> 00:28:52.369 healthy work week, fitness standards, you know, 00:28:52.390 --> 00:28:55.299 mental health counseling. And then you keep those 00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:57.180 people through the longevity of their career. 00:28:57.339 --> 00:29:01.240 And that saves your country, your city, your 00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:03.940 county, you know, billions and billions of dollars. 00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:07.180 People don't understand how easy it is to break 00:29:07.180 --> 00:29:10.480 things, how hard it is to build, because that's 00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.440 the problem too when you get rid of competent 00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:14.859 men, is those are the ones who build things. 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.980 And building things is hard. Destroying is easy. 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.400 Those modern nihilists who want to see institutions 00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.539 go down, you only say that because you live in 00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:28.519 the us when the electricity is always on come 00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:31.339 to brazil try to get rid of structure see what 00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:33.460 happens who do you think is going to save your 00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:36.819 ass right so it's very easy to talk like that 00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:38.579 when you live in the us come live in a third 00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:40.339 world country it'll change you you'll change 00:29:40.339 --> 00:29:42.960 your mind about a bunch of stuff but anyway the 00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:46.359 problem is it's and i'm going to use pixar as 00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:50.180 an example you know wally up all those great 00:29:50.180 --> 00:29:53.130 movies right so You can see that from the beginning 00:29:53.130 --> 00:29:56.009 of Pixar till when it turned to shit, it's simple. 00:29:56.170 --> 00:29:57.950 There's one dude in charge. His name is John 00:29:57.950 --> 00:30:02.509 Lasseter. He's a massive nerd, and he likes to 00:30:02.509 --> 00:30:04.869 hug people, and he gets drunk a lot. But, oh, 00:30:04.950 --> 00:30:07.289 my Lord, and by the way, when he comes to work, 00:30:07.349 --> 00:30:09.769 he's a tyrant, which means he shows up, you better 00:30:09.769 --> 00:30:11.309 do your job correctly, otherwise you're going 00:30:11.309 --> 00:30:13.710 to hear about it. He's super nice, but not when 00:30:13.710 --> 00:30:15.950 it comes to that kind of stuff, right? And so 00:30:15.950 --> 00:30:19.890 he's someone who's worshipped, but not always 00:30:19.890 --> 00:30:23.259 liked in that sense. And that's the Me Too movement 00:30:23.259 --> 00:30:25.319 comes in and they're going to use the fact that 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:28.079 he hugs people. Let's get rid of it. So they 00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:30.160 get rid of John Lasseter. They have a meeting 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.240 to tell he's gone. And suddenly you have one 00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:34.380 woman raising her hand saying, can we please 00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:37.220 get a woman to run this place? Because that's 00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:39.319 the Me Too era. And so they put a woman in charge. 00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:42.640 And the first thing she says, I'm here to make 00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:46.920 sure Pixar is 50 -50. 50 % men, 50 % women. And 00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.619 that's where the incentives are going to be at. 00:30:50.139 --> 00:30:53.460 They get rid of all the older men responsible 00:30:53.460 --> 00:30:56.359 for animation. And now you got Pixar today who 00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:58.839 just released a movie no one can watch because 00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:01.599 it turned to shit. Because you got rid of John 00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:03.819 Lasseter, then you got rid of his people, and 00:31:03.819 --> 00:31:06.579 then you got rid of that square root of people 00:31:06.579 --> 00:31:09.180 that do most of the good work. And now you end 00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:11.140 up with shit and you wonder what happened. We 00:31:11.140 --> 00:31:14.240 put so much money in it. Pixar movies now cost 00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.319 more than when John Lasseter was making them. 00:31:16.819 --> 00:31:20.230 And yet they rack. a fourth of the of the money 00:31:20.230 --> 00:31:23.069 and they're losing money on each movie now because 00:31:23.069 --> 00:31:25.289 they are incapable of making anything of quality 00:31:25.289 --> 00:31:30.809 because no it's not that easy no volume will 00:31:30.809 --> 00:31:33.329 not solve the problem no putting more people 00:31:33.329 --> 00:31:36.049 on the project would not solve the problem on 00:31:36.049 --> 00:31:39.210 the contrary it makes the project worse because 00:31:39.210 --> 00:31:42.029 you actually need to favor the good competent 00:31:42.029 --> 00:31:45.089 people but once you start getting rid of competency 00:31:45.089 --> 00:31:49.960 first and then just to to have some other idea 00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:53.059 of equality of outcome, that's what you get. 00:31:53.420 --> 00:31:55.880 But people will not understand that until it 00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:58.960 starts to go to shit, which is Hollywood. You'll 00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.160 notice some actors now are starting to complain. 00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:03.500 Yeah, because they're losing their lunch. That's 00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:05.559 why. Not that they don't have a job anymore. 00:32:05.660 --> 00:32:07.519 They start to complain. I'm like, how funny. 00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:10.059 How interesting. You didn't care about that 10 00:32:10.059 --> 00:32:12.519 years ago when you told us to stay the fuck home 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:15.019 and how dare you endanger everybody. It's funny 00:32:15.019 --> 00:32:18.369 how that works, right? While your people were 00:32:18.369 --> 00:32:21.210 out there trying to save people without people 00:32:21.210 --> 00:32:23.849 really paying attention whether we were helping 00:32:23.849 --> 00:32:27.869 them or not. No one cared. Nurses and first responders 00:32:27.869 --> 00:32:29.809 and everything. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:32:30.309 --> 00:32:33.809 I mean, how many were fired because of that vaccine 00:32:33.809 --> 00:32:36.549 mandate thing? Like how many refusing got fired? 00:32:36.910 --> 00:32:39.390 We don't talk about that either. Please bring 00:32:39.390 --> 00:32:42.210 up a massive lawsuit about all this and put Fauci 00:32:42.210 --> 00:32:47.480 in jail. Yeah. Well, it's interesting in my profession 00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:51.440 because there were definitely incidences where, 00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:55.220 you know, certain genders or ethnicities were 00:32:55.220 --> 00:32:57.359 not being hired when they, you know, they should 00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:59.200 have been, but it wasn't the demographic of the 00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.319 population. And so the knee jerk, as we always 00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.200 see, was, okay, let's just go and get, we need 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.319 X amount of this type of person or that type 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:10.559 of person. and what that does is again you in 00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:12.480 that group you get some people that were probably 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:14.819 phenomenal firefighters and it was by chance 00:33:14.819 --> 00:33:16.680 that they were in that group and they you know 00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:19.259 an absolute asset to the department and because 00:33:19.259 --> 00:33:21.380 you you just scooped up a bunch of people of 00:33:21.380 --> 00:33:23.740 that particular type you had a lot of people 00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:25.900 that weren't that were a liability to the department 00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:28.480 and that then you know you think about someone 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:30.640 who was a better candidate but they were the 00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:33.359 wrong gender or skin color how that you know 00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:37.660 pissed them off the answer is is is amazing is 00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:40.099 the mentorship programs there's one in my town 00:33:40.099 --> 00:33:42.839 when my friends chris hickman started where you 00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.440 go to the underserved areas because there are 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.240 groups of people that either you know in the 00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:50.259 past because of hiring practices weren't given 00:33:50.259 --> 00:33:52.180 a chance or maybe just in their community they 00:33:52.180 --> 00:33:53.819 never even thought about being a firefighter 00:33:53.819 --> 00:33:55.740 because they hadn't seen themselves and some 00:33:55.740 --> 00:33:58.059 of the people that responded so they reach out 00:33:58.059 --> 00:34:00.920 to them and they have centrally located training 00:34:01.450 --> 00:34:03.650 where they give these kids the training the equipment 00:34:03.650 --> 00:34:06.930 the scholarships for fire academy but they set 00:34:06.930 --> 00:34:08.869 the bar high and like this is what it's neat 00:34:08.869 --> 00:34:11.269 you need to be a firefighter so then you get 00:34:11.269 --> 00:34:13.869 phenomenal female firefighters phenomenal black 00:34:13.869 --> 00:34:16.730 firefighters gay trans whatever the the you know 00:34:16.730 --> 00:34:20.610 the the quota is but ultimately it doesn't matter 00:34:20.610 --> 00:34:22.750 who they are and who they sleep with is can they 00:34:22.750 --> 00:34:25.869 do the job and that is what's so beautiful and 00:34:25.869 --> 00:34:29.119 so easy about the system is that you don't scoop 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:30.940 up a bunch of people and say, we need you because 00:34:30.940 --> 00:34:33.800 of what you look like. We help mentor you if 00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:35.239 you're in a position where you weren't given 00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:38.380 the same opportunity and say, would you be right 00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:40.500 for this position? And that's the difference. 00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:48.340 Yeah. And you know, I live in Brazil now. You 00:34:48.340 --> 00:34:51.380 know how many conversations I have about race 00:34:51.380 --> 00:34:56.420 on a weekly basis? Zero. You know, everybody's 00:34:56.420 --> 00:34:59.900 mixed here. Black, white, right there. So you 00:34:59.900 --> 00:35:01.659 would think that would be a topic of conversation. 00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:05.320 It never is. You know how often I talk about 00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:09.000 gay people here? Zero. Trans people, plenty of 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:11.340 them in Brazil. Comes up once in a while because 00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:14.440 of the U .S., not really. But yet, I know people 00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.539 in my community, we all have jiu -jitsu together 00:35:16.539 --> 00:35:19.519 and everything. The only time we have a conversation, 00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:23.000 men, women, is because of jiu -jitsu. Because 00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.230 it's like, don't beat up the women, please. type 00:35:25.230 --> 00:35:26.650 of thing, because you're not as strong physically. 00:35:26.829 --> 00:35:28.710 That's it. That's about as far the conversation 00:35:28.710 --> 00:35:34.329 goes. I don't care. And can we please stop caring 00:35:34.329 --> 00:35:37.050 and just look at who's the best for the job? 00:35:37.210 --> 00:35:40.730 And getting rid of, not putting competence as 00:35:40.730 --> 00:35:43.010 a number one is a very dangerous game. Because 00:35:43.010 --> 00:35:45.750 going back to those excellent firefighters, if 00:35:45.750 --> 00:35:50.010 they are treated the same as someone who's lazy, 00:35:50.150 --> 00:35:52.210 lousy, doesn't want to do your job and everything, 00:35:52.349 --> 00:35:55.050 they will leave. Why would you stay in a place 00:35:55.050 --> 00:35:57.730 where you're tolerated but not celebrated, right? 00:35:57.969 --> 00:36:00.849 Like, if I'm really good at what I do, I want 00:36:00.849 --> 00:36:03.510 to be seen as such. But if I'm treated exactly 00:36:03.510 --> 00:36:05.289 the same as the guy over there who doesn't give 00:36:05.289 --> 00:36:07.829 a shit, well, I do the extra work, I do the extra 00:36:07.829 --> 00:36:09.929 training and everything. No, I'm not staying. 00:36:11.769 --> 00:36:14.369 Like the CJs of this world will not go back to 00:36:14.369 --> 00:36:17.739 fitness. That is a shame. And people will go, 00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:20.519 it doesn't matter. It does matter because there's 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:23.360 no one to make sure the thing keeps moving forward 00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:25.800 and everything. We're losing CrossFit. CrossFit 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:27.719 is dead. That's gone. The high rocks is going 00:36:27.719 --> 00:36:30.579 to take over. Who does high rocks? It's all the 00:36:30.579 --> 00:36:32.659 runners. It's those upper middle class people. 00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:34.739 They're going to run the stuff. So you're going 00:36:34.739 --> 00:36:36.719 to have basically high rocks is going to be women, 00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:39.840 skinny women that like to run for hours. Men 00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:41.940 are going to do jujitsu and then CrossFit is 00:36:41.940 --> 00:36:43.440 going to die off. And now we're going to be stuck 00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:46.289 with. bodybuilding and biohackers selling peptides. 00:36:46.449 --> 00:36:49.190 We're going to be back to that. He used to sell 00:36:49.190 --> 00:36:51.110 steroids, now they sell peptides because it's 00:36:51.110 --> 00:36:53.309 so much better, right? And then ozone pick in 00:36:53.309 --> 00:36:54.909 order to lose weight instead of getting your 00:36:54.909 --> 00:36:57.190 ass to the gym. Is that the way you guys want 00:36:57.190 --> 00:37:00.670 to be? That's what happens when you get rid of 00:37:00.670 --> 00:37:02.590 competent people. That's what scares me. And 00:37:02.590 --> 00:37:05.190 oh my Lord, do I want competent people as first 00:37:05.190 --> 00:37:09.730 responders? Yeah. Can we have a few like doctors, 00:37:09.809 --> 00:37:14.469 first responders, pilots come to mind? Yeah, 00:37:14.469 --> 00:37:17.769 absolutely. Especially pilots. That'd be nice, 00:37:17.909 --> 00:37:19.550 right? That kind of worries me a little bit, 00:37:19.570 --> 00:37:23.989 I won't lie. It's tough like that. The engineers 00:37:23.989 --> 00:37:25.989 on the plane, I would like for them to be competent 00:37:25.989 --> 00:37:29.769 as well, please. You know the stories about Boeing 00:37:29.769 --> 00:37:32.989 where you go, how did that happen? It actually 00:37:32.989 --> 00:37:35.909 happens very easily. That's the problem. It's 00:37:35.909 --> 00:37:38.170 very hard to build. It's very easy for things 00:37:38.170 --> 00:37:40.369 to go to shit. You live in a third world country, 00:37:40.449 --> 00:37:43.659 you realize how... easily the electricity could 00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:48.840 turn off or the water, the food, and how people 00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:53.860 would turn savages real fast. Like here, they 00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:55.760 stopped the pandemic because they knew if people 00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:59.340 got hungry, ooh, that was not going to go well. 00:37:59.619 --> 00:38:04.880 Like, no, they won't be at home waiting. No. 00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:08.019 Because here, people will starve to death fast 00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:10.400 because there's no structure like we have in 00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:12.710 the U .S. you know europe or stuff like that 00:38:12.710 --> 00:38:15.050 so here if they were not working they start and 00:38:15.050 --> 00:38:17.530 they're like i'm not starving which as you can 00:38:17.530 --> 00:38:21.469 understand so uh all those people that are you 00:38:21.469 --> 00:38:23.369 know with the hashtag stay the and everything 00:38:23.369 --> 00:38:25.889 it's very easy to do that in your air conditioned 00:38:25.889 --> 00:38:28.909 world and everything but the rest of the world 00:38:28.909 --> 00:38:31.769 is a little bit rougher than that absolutely 00:38:31.769 --> 00:38:34.650 speaking of competency i just shared a video 00:38:34.650 --> 00:38:36.929 and again i don't know the back story but obviously 00:38:36.929 --> 00:38:40.380 it was a massive error it was in manchester and 00:38:40.380 --> 00:38:42.840 double -decker bus and the driver went under 00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:44.460 one of those kind of aqueducts where the canal 00:38:44.460 --> 00:38:48.039 goes over the road and sheared you know the top 00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:50.340 part of the bus and there was passengers in there 00:38:50.340 --> 00:38:53.440 like 14 people were hurt one critically and again 00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:56.340 you know was that you know, overwork, you know, 00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:59.639 fatigue driver. I mean, how, I don't even know 00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:01.420 how you go on that route or was it again, lack 00:39:01.420 --> 00:39:05.780 of training, poor hiring standards. But think 00:39:05.780 --> 00:39:08.219 about the human costs, but also the financial 00:39:08.219 --> 00:39:10.099 costs you were trying to cut, you know, costs 00:39:10.099 --> 00:39:12.639 or whatever, you know, pay people worse, whatever 00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:15.280 the thing is, how many millions of dollars is 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:18.300 that going to cost you now? That's insane though. 00:39:19.739 --> 00:39:21.960 how come we have so many of those stories though 00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:23.920 you can say whatever you want if he's one or 00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.880 two okay but man is it on the rise like we should 00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:33.139 be so scared of competence taking a dive that 00:39:33.139 --> 00:39:36.619 should scare everybody and the thing is is you 00:39:36.619 --> 00:39:38.400 know it's the frog in the boiling water right 00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:43.500 you won't see it right away but i live in a third 00:39:43.500 --> 00:39:47.860 world country lesser competence has very dire 00:39:47.860 --> 00:39:50.929 consequences that I don't think people understand 00:39:50.929 --> 00:39:53.489 because they just got too soft. They don't see 00:39:53.489 --> 00:39:55.849 the everyday violence, the stuff and everything. 00:39:56.070 --> 00:39:59.909 But there's many situations here where make sure 00:39:59.909 --> 00:40:02.050 you're not the prey or at least you cannot be 00:40:02.050 --> 00:40:05.110 seen as one because it can be just because you 00:40:05.110 --> 00:40:07.269 get charged five bucks instead of two, you know, 00:40:07.269 --> 00:40:10.150 20 instead of 10. That's one thing. But they 00:40:10.150 --> 00:40:12.469 look around, they see yourself, you know, me 00:40:12.469 --> 00:40:14.489 with my size, they go like, well, it's not worth 00:40:14.489 --> 00:40:16.730 the effort. I'm going to prey on someone else. 00:40:16.889 --> 00:40:23.949 Like you. better convey an idea of competence 00:40:23.949 --> 00:40:27.190 to make sure that things, at least to you and 00:40:27.190 --> 00:40:30.389 your family, do not go against you. And that's 00:40:30.389 --> 00:40:32.730 the real world we live in. You know what I mean? 00:40:32.769 --> 00:40:36.389 Like, do not be seen as a prey. And in the West, 00:40:36.449 --> 00:40:39.730 we are not seeing what the lack of competence 00:40:39.730 --> 00:40:43.329 can bring. Like, we started to sit on the business 00:40:43.329 --> 00:40:46.210 level on corporations, like Disney and stuff 00:40:46.210 --> 00:40:48.409 like that, where you go like, how? Are you that 00:40:48.409 --> 00:40:50.949 incompetent at what you do? You can't make an 00:40:50.949 --> 00:40:54.530 anime movie anymore. Disney cannot make an anime. 00:40:54.710 --> 00:40:57.829 That should scare people. Because imagine the 00:40:57.829 --> 00:40:59.449 number of things that have to go wrong to get 00:40:59.449 --> 00:41:01.349 there. Turns out not that many, by the way. But 00:41:01.349 --> 00:41:03.909 you can get there very easily. But that should 00:41:03.909 --> 00:41:06.650 tell you something about that at least the society 00:41:06.650 --> 00:41:09.349 we are creating is going the wrong way. The response 00:41:09.349 --> 00:41:12.269 to COVID should tell you there's something profoundly 00:41:12.269 --> 00:41:14.289 wrong in the way we've been dealing with things 00:41:14.289 --> 00:41:17.340 for at least 10 years. Let's be honest, 20 to 00:41:17.340 --> 00:41:20.639 30, but let's just say 10, 15 years. But that 00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:23.719 response to COVID should scare us. The fact that 00:41:23.719 --> 00:41:27.739 France accepted the six to six lockdown and everything 00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:29.860 that we hadn't seen since the Germans were in 00:41:29.860 --> 00:41:32.659 Paris. The fact that everybody went with that 00:41:32.659 --> 00:41:38.440 is insane. This is crazy. Those are crazy times 00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:41.179 that don't scare people enough, at least I think. 00:41:41.380 --> 00:41:43.920 And honestly, the fitness industry is going to 00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:47.309 wake up with the same problem. Well, speaking 00:41:47.309 --> 00:41:51.429 of that, so with the peptides, I've found an 00:41:51.429 --> 00:41:53.690 application that's actually good for this community 00:41:53.690 --> 00:41:56.409 because a lot of the firefighters are woefully 00:41:56.409 --> 00:42:00.050 overworked, underslept. And so what is happening 00:42:00.050 --> 00:42:02.150 here, and this is probably since we started talking, 00:42:02.289 --> 00:42:05.489 well, since we spoke last, is now all these men's 00:42:05.489 --> 00:42:08.389 clinics are popping up. And these young men, 00:42:08.550 --> 00:42:10.409 I mean, we're talking, and women as well, that 00:42:10.409 --> 00:42:13.650 are in their late 30s, early, sorry, late 20s, 00:42:13.650 --> 00:42:16.719 early 30s are going to these clinics. And unlike 00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:19.440 the bad old days where the doctor would say your 00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:22.900 testosterone is 251, you're fine. Also wrong. 00:42:23.619 --> 00:42:26.139 Now they're saying, oh, you know, you're still 00:42:26.139 --> 00:42:28.119 low because I mean, it's insane how low these 00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:30.239 guys, you know, blood work is. It's just because 00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:32.920 of the sleep deprivation. They're saying, oh, 00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:36.739 we need to put you on TRT, not peptides, TRT, 00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:38.980 without telling them all the side effects and 00:42:38.980 --> 00:42:40.300 the fact that they're going to be on it for the 00:42:40.300 --> 00:42:41.860 rest of their life because their little balls 00:42:41.860 --> 00:42:43.659 are going to shrink up to the size of walnuts. 00:42:45.150 --> 00:42:51.030 And so lifestyle changes first. Yeah. But at 00:42:51.030 --> 00:42:53.550 the moment, a lot of them can't because they're 00:42:53.550 --> 00:42:56.030 working 56 hours a week. Then they get told they 00:42:56.030 --> 00:42:57.909 can't go home because there were these overtime, 00:42:58.230 --> 00:43:00.329 you know, these vacancies because of this mismanagement. 00:43:00.429 --> 00:43:02.829 So some of them are working 80 hours a week, 00:43:02.849 --> 00:43:05.789 like every other week, some even more. So the 00:43:05.789 --> 00:43:09.789 peptide as a bandaid, as a temporary fix until 00:43:09.789 --> 00:43:12.250 because we're working on shifting this work week. 00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.480 I found them beneficial because it at least makes 00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:17.820 your body make more of the testosterone zone 00:43:17.820 --> 00:43:20.340 and you can come up. I agree with you, but that's 00:43:20.340 --> 00:43:22.539 not, look, it's the same thing as Ozempic. It's 00:43:22.539 --> 00:43:26.500 the same conversation. Does Ozempic work? Yes. 00:43:27.119 --> 00:43:30.059 If you weigh 500 pounds, should you take Ozempic? 00:43:30.500 --> 00:43:33.719 If she, most likely, instead of dying of eating 00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:36.019 yourself to death, most likely, because it's 00:43:36.019 --> 00:43:39.440 going to stop you from eating. Do you really 00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:41.199 think there's two problems with that? First, 00:43:41.539 --> 00:43:43.840 you're not changing the profound issue of you 00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:47.099 eating yourself to death. So you'll find another 00:43:47.099 --> 00:43:50.039 way to fuck yourself up. Don't worry. But that's 00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:52.719 not really the issue of Ozempic. Ozempic, the 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.099 issue is going to be that 17 -year -old girl 00:43:55.099 --> 00:43:58.559 over there who's on Ozempic to lose 10 pounds. 00:43:58.739 --> 00:44:00.599 First of all, she's going to look like a cadaver, 00:44:00.659 --> 00:44:02.960 but everybody's going to go, my God, you lost 00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:05.199 so much weight. Right, because you're not eating. 00:44:06.230 --> 00:44:08.889 Right. And so now the second you stop, you're 00:44:08.889 --> 00:44:10.110 going to be hungry. You're going to get more 00:44:10.110 --> 00:44:12.090 weight than you lost because you fucked up everything 00:44:12.090 --> 00:44:14.690 else anyway. Right. And then now your blood sugar, 00:44:14.869 --> 00:44:17.530 like you have insulin problem, all of that. That's 00:44:17.530 --> 00:44:19.329 going to be the issue with Ozempic. Of course, 00:44:19.349 --> 00:44:21.389 it works for the 500 because you have a lot of 00:44:21.389 --> 00:44:24.650 trainers now saying Ozempic is great. It's great 00:44:24.650 --> 00:44:27.150 for three months to make your people lose weight. 00:44:27.190 --> 00:44:30.329 Yes. But long term, it's a disaster on a societal 00:44:30.329 --> 00:44:34.349 level. right the peptide the problem of course 00:44:34.349 --> 00:44:36.289 is going to help them now but the problem is 00:44:36.289 --> 00:44:39.269 on the larger scale then they never have to change 00:44:39.269 --> 00:44:41.150 their nutrition they're not going to have to 00:44:41.150 --> 00:44:43.889 you know start lifting regardless on how many 00:44:43.889 --> 00:44:46.550 hours they were like that's the problem and so 00:44:46.550 --> 00:44:49.190 of course for them it's a massive help but then 00:44:49.190 --> 00:44:51.210 the next ones and the next one and when their 00:44:51.210 --> 00:44:52.909 work goes back to normal they're going to stay 00:44:52.909 --> 00:44:54.570 on the peptide they don't have to train as much 00:44:54.570 --> 00:44:57.030 and then and then and then then once every first 00:44:57.030 --> 00:45:00.610 responder does that everybody else even the guy 00:45:00.610 --> 00:45:03.590 who quits as a first responder is 26, he's going 00:45:03.590 --> 00:45:05.809 to stay on TRT or he's going to stay on peptide 00:45:05.809 --> 00:45:08.090 or whatever. And now he doesn't have to train 00:45:08.090 --> 00:45:10.710 as much. He doesn't have to eat as well. He doesn't 00:45:10.710 --> 00:45:12.989 have to have the lifestyle that he should have 00:45:12.989 --> 00:45:16.590 had without the peptide. You cannot replace nature 00:45:16.590 --> 00:45:19.730 with technology. I'm sorry. There's always a 00:45:19.730 --> 00:45:22.349 moment where that shit, there'll be another side 00:45:22.349 --> 00:45:24.900 effect. There'll be another problem. There'll 00:45:24.900 --> 00:45:27.400 be muscle density. There'll be bone issues. There'll 00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.880 be somewhere else, somewhere. Your body will 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:33.380 adapt to the peptide. Another problem will pop 00:45:33.380 --> 00:45:39.139 up. You can't... Ozempic for food is the same 00:45:39.139 --> 00:45:41.880 thing as going to someone who has a cocaine habit 00:45:41.880 --> 00:45:47.039 and gluing his nostrils shut and saying, problem 00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:50.340 is fixed. That's true. You cannot snort cocaine 00:45:50.340 --> 00:45:52.980 anymore. I don't think he fixes the problem. 00:45:55.799 --> 00:45:58.219 Yeah. That's what we're going to see. It's like, 00:45:58.260 --> 00:46:00.260 yeah, we might do well for six months a year, 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:03.480 by the way, which allows the people to keep working 00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:06.320 them to death and everything. So that's going 00:46:06.320 --> 00:46:08.780 to delay the response that is necessary as well. 00:46:08.860 --> 00:46:10.659 You see what I mean? Like, this is where we're 00:46:10.659 --> 00:46:12.599 going with those types. That's what scares me 00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:15.219 with that. Yeah. Well, what I've literally did, 00:46:15.380 --> 00:46:18.199 because I went on peptides. It was funny. I had 00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:20.760 actually. pretty decent natural tea but i was 00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:23.639 like well 14 years of shift work you know i there's 00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:26.639 probably a a little deficit there so i just did 00:46:26.639 --> 00:46:29.340 it for a short while and then came off it and 00:46:29.340 --> 00:46:31.760 i was you know telling people that this is this 00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:34.659 is how any med should be you know blood pressure 00:46:34.659 --> 00:46:37.059 med whatever it's like okay this is a bolster 00:46:37.059 --> 00:46:39.760 until you get to a point and then and then you 00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.400 come on that's different you've done the work 00:46:43.400 --> 00:46:46.639 you train you've done the nutrition you've done 00:46:46.639 --> 00:46:49.760 everything I seriously doubt I'm going to find 00:46:49.760 --> 00:46:53.199 Ozempic people. Sorry, my camera is... It's okay. 00:46:53.860 --> 00:46:55.400 Mine does the same thing. I don't know why it 00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:58.679 does that. I'm sorry, but all the people that 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:01.679 take Ozempic, like, those are the same people 00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:03.800 that had the body positivity stuff not so long 00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:07.059 ago. Now, remember, like, how dare you tell me 00:47:07.059 --> 00:47:09.900 to lose weight? I can't lose weight anyway. The 00:47:09.900 --> 00:47:11.820 second Ozempic is out, they will jump on it. 00:47:12.219 --> 00:47:15.059 The Oprah, all those actors, and I've been seeing 00:47:15.059 --> 00:47:20.219 the hypocrisy of it. is monstrous my fear is 00:47:20.219 --> 00:47:22.480 that they start to they do the same thing with 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.059 the peptide he's like no you're not doing the 00:47:25.059 --> 00:47:28.460 work it's you right like a lot most of those 00:47:28.460 --> 00:47:31.039 people do not need to go on olympic is olympic 00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:33.699 gonna work yes is it gonna go faster yes are 00:47:33.699 --> 00:47:35.940 they side effects yes do we know all of them 00:47:35.940 --> 00:47:39.320 no uh they are complication with all of that 00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:42.500 you've done the work if you do the work and you 00:47:42.500 --> 00:47:46.199 test is still at 250 yes peptide and trt and 00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:49.480 whatever the hell you need to do but do the work 00:47:49.480 --> 00:47:54.179 then you add the cherry on top right stop thinking 00:47:54.179 --> 00:47:56.619 there's a solution there are no solutions only 00:47:56.619 --> 00:48:00.239 trade -offs go do the work and then you can take 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:02.539 the trt and the peptide and all that stuff yes 00:48:02.539 --> 00:48:05.400 then only make you stronger faster awesome no 00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:08.760 problem you don't compete in a drug tested sport 00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:11.730 who cares do whatever you got to do yeah i mean 00:48:11.730 --> 00:48:13.969 to be to be healthier and stuff like that understanding 00:48:13.969 --> 00:48:16.429 that there are no solutions only trade -offs 00:48:16.429 --> 00:48:19.909 i'm all for it it cannot cut down on the work 00:48:19.909 --> 00:48:23.170 though and that's usually what i see so you put 00:48:23.170 --> 00:48:26.590 25 euros on trt they will never stop because 00:48:26.590 --> 00:48:30.170 you can't if you start trt at 25 lifting weights 00:48:30.170 --> 00:48:33.170 you will never know how to lift weight properly 00:48:33.170 --> 00:48:36.690 because i got news for you on trt the program 00:48:36.690 --> 00:48:40.230 is different than off trt The volume is greater. 00:48:40.369 --> 00:48:42.530 You can do shit you cannot do without it. So 00:48:42.530 --> 00:48:45.010 it is not the same programming. You will never 00:48:45.010 --> 00:48:48.730 learn to live correctly. And so you will always 00:48:48.730 --> 00:48:51.469 rely on the TRT, usually larger and larger doses. 00:48:51.730 --> 00:48:54.849 And then you won't be just TRT. You'll be like 00:48:54.849 --> 00:48:57.389 that other compound and other stuff and the other 00:48:57.389 --> 00:49:00.190 thing, the peptides and then the thing and the 00:49:00.190 --> 00:49:01.610 thing. And before you know it, you're a drug 00:49:01.610 --> 00:49:06.010 addict. Yeah. Or an expensive habit. Yeah, that's 00:49:06.010 --> 00:49:13.469 what it is. Yeah. Which is crazy. With the ozempic, 00:49:13.510 --> 00:49:15.969 it's interesting because I've lost my wife's 00:49:15.969 --> 00:49:18.710 best friend. And then one of my fire academy, 00:49:18.789 --> 00:49:23.369 you know, friends both died from gastric bypass 00:49:23.369 --> 00:49:27.369 surgery. So they're in those situations and they 00:49:27.369 --> 00:49:29.050 weren't, neither of them were actually even that. 00:49:29.690 --> 00:49:31.989 So this is what's so crazy that they even allow 00:49:31.989 --> 00:49:34.429 that in the first place. But like you said, for 00:49:34.429 --> 00:49:36.650 the morbidly obese, where they're really about 00:49:36.650 --> 00:49:39.190 to get heart disease and maybe lose a leg from 00:49:39.190 --> 00:49:42.090 diabetes, I think it absolutely has a place. 00:49:42.250 --> 00:49:44.909 And the TRT, if you're a combat veteran with 00:49:44.909 --> 00:49:47.510 concussive injuries and your body simply won't 00:49:47.510 --> 00:49:49.989 make testosterone anymore, of course, TRT is 00:49:49.989 --> 00:49:53.610 a great application. But for this predatory element 00:49:53.610 --> 00:49:56.909 where they're targeting teens and 20 -year -olds, 00:49:57.050 --> 00:49:59.909 especially with TRT, you know without letting 00:49:59.909 --> 00:50:01.670 them know that your fertility your hair loss 00:50:01.670 --> 00:50:03.849 your you know your your tits all these things 00:50:03.849 --> 00:50:05.889 that you're going to get the back knee you know 00:50:05.889 --> 00:50:07.869 they're not being told this and they're not being 00:50:07.869 --> 00:50:11.070 told the first change your nutrition start a 00:50:11.070 --> 00:50:13.429 lifting program get outside how are your relationships 00:50:13.429 --> 00:50:18.349 are you meditating level that's not true let's 00:50:18.349 --> 00:50:21.969 be honest if at 25 you're a trt level you know 00:50:21.969 --> 00:50:24.550 where you are at 35. Not at the same level. I 00:50:24.550 --> 00:50:27.150 can guarantee you that. And I can tell you something. 00:50:27.309 --> 00:50:30.130 When you get to 40 TRT, testosterone is not the 00:50:30.130 --> 00:50:34.710 only thing you're taking. Yeah. Because you open 00:50:34.710 --> 00:50:37.030 that door. And by the way, but that's my same 00:50:37.030 --> 00:50:40.050 problem with Ozempic. Instead of dying of gastric 00:50:40.050 --> 00:50:42.150 bypass surgery, of course I want you to do Ozempic. 00:50:42.269 --> 00:50:44.409 But do you really think it is going to stop there? 00:50:44.469 --> 00:50:47.230 Because now, remember, you can't eat on Ozempic. 00:50:47.670 --> 00:50:49.969 Right. So that hole that you were filling with 00:50:49.969 --> 00:50:53.750 food is coming back. What are you going to fill 00:50:53.750 --> 00:50:58.449 it with this time? It's not food. You'll find 00:50:58.449 --> 00:51:02.630 something. So you want to bet that the rise of 00:51:02.630 --> 00:51:06.309 addiction is going to go up amongst people with 00:51:06.309 --> 00:51:09.929 Ozempic? Yeah. Of course it will. Come on. If 00:51:09.929 --> 00:51:12.429 it's not alcoholism, it's drugs. Choose one. 00:51:12.730 --> 00:51:15.030 Yeah, because it was already an addiction. You 00:51:15.030 --> 00:51:17.670 don't need pleasure from food anymore. An obese 00:51:17.670 --> 00:51:20.090 person that cannot get pleasure from food anymore. 00:51:20.309 --> 00:51:25.210 Anybody think this is a good idea? No. You're 00:51:25.210 --> 00:51:26.530 going to kill them with something else, man. 00:51:27.389 --> 00:51:29.550 It's obvious. Except in the meantime, you put 00:51:29.550 --> 00:51:31.909 an entire generation of 15 -year -olds on a new 00:51:31.909 --> 00:51:36.329 form of anorexia. Yeah, which is also what we 00:51:36.329 --> 00:51:38.809 saw in the same era as bodybuilding. We've gone 00:51:38.809 --> 00:51:43.650 full circle, literally. That was the great thing 00:51:43.650 --> 00:51:46.369 with CrossFit. You made them beautiful and fit, 00:51:46.469 --> 00:51:49.949 but you had to train performance, right? So you 00:51:49.949 --> 00:51:51.989 had to eat, because otherwise you couldn't perform. 00:51:53.869 --> 00:51:57.269 yeah and now crossfit is dying the girls got 00:51:57.269 --> 00:52:01.210 got about 20 pounds heavier you know i mean like 00:52:01.210 --> 00:52:04.269 the carb stuff like they we back to food eating 00:52:04.269 --> 00:52:07.769 like we back to real relationship with food we 00:52:07.769 --> 00:52:10.230 just man that lasted 10 years we are we got a 00:52:10.230 --> 00:52:12.670 break for 10 years that's it now we back to all 00:52:12.670 --> 00:52:15.710 that bullshit i'm like oh man yeah my wife's 00:52:15.710 --> 00:52:18.130 into all those tiktoks where they she watches 00:52:18.130 --> 00:52:20.489 other people eat in their car and make all the 00:52:20.489 --> 00:52:23.199 slurping and snapping noises and There's always 00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:25.380 fast food. There's always shit food. This is 00:52:25.380 --> 00:52:28.059 a bad sign. If that's entertainment now, watching 00:52:28.059 --> 00:52:31.019 someone eat shit food, there's your sign, as 00:52:31.019 --> 00:52:36.780 they say. Yeah. We're going to have to understand 00:52:36.780 --> 00:52:40.599 what getting rid of competence is doing to us. 00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:43.579 Yeah. Have you ever seen that film, Idiocracy? 00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:49.420 Yeah. We're basically living it now. The problem 00:52:49.420 --> 00:52:54.349 is the only way you fix that is by... bringing 00:52:54.349 --> 00:52:56.889 bringing competency back or at least the incentive 00:52:56.889 --> 00:52:59.989 to our competent people it's not as simple as 00:52:59.989 --> 00:53:01.949 it sounds because you're gonna have to attract 00:53:01.949 --> 00:53:05.269 them in your place of business and such it's 00:53:05.269 --> 00:53:10.050 uh it's not simple it's not simple i mean like 00:53:10.050 --> 00:53:12.769 that's why i basically went dark me on my side 00:53:12.769 --> 00:53:15.469 because i was like i'm i can see the biohackers 00:53:15.469 --> 00:53:17.570 coming into what i do and i'm like i'm not doing 00:53:17.570 --> 00:53:22.679 this that six weeks like nicotine patch now for 00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:26.079 x and y and z i'm like oh people come on six 00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:28.639 weeks you think you're gonna help with autism 00:53:28.639 --> 00:53:31.840 and anxiety for six weeks like they're just selling 00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:35.599 you something are you not this is snake oil like 00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:39.679 come on the biohackers man this has to stop start 00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:43.099 with the six -week stuff no this will not solve 00:53:43.099 --> 00:53:46.659 the problem the problem is you're not doing what 00:53:46.659 --> 00:53:50.750 you need to do it's you that's it Stop with the 00:53:50.750 --> 00:53:54.510 self -indulgence. You'll lose 20 pounds. Absolutely. 00:53:54.650 --> 00:53:57.389 Well, speaking of fitness journeys, again, it's 00:53:57.389 --> 00:54:01.909 been three -plus years since we talked. To this 00:54:01.909 --> 00:54:03.730 day, when I coach, as you know, when I teach 00:54:03.730 --> 00:54:05.909 my free class to first responders, it's still 00:54:05.909 --> 00:54:08.650 your work. It's still the sandbags, the sleds, 00:54:08.710 --> 00:54:11.590 the yokes, all the things, or your original work, 00:54:11.650 --> 00:54:13.929 should I say. So what has been the evolution 00:54:13.929 --> 00:54:17.769 from that side now in the last three years? I 00:54:17.769 --> 00:54:20.969 came back even closer to the original stuff and 00:54:20.969 --> 00:54:24.349 I cut everything else. So I've cut all assistance 00:54:24.349 --> 00:54:27.150 work and I went back to pretty much what you 00:54:27.150 --> 00:54:31.369 did that day. And this is 99 % of the work. And 00:54:31.369 --> 00:54:34.789 I stopped the assistance work. I stopped everything 00:54:34.789 --> 00:54:38.329 else because first of all, I got tired of people 00:54:38.329 --> 00:54:40.989 asking me about emotional mapping without understanding 00:54:40.989 --> 00:54:44.070 a sandbag squat. And by the way, that's my fault. 00:54:44.110 --> 00:54:47.349 I should have kept my big mouth shut. that day 00:54:47.349 --> 00:54:49.210 instead of talking about all that because they 00:54:49.210 --> 00:54:52.269 all jumped on it because the idea of them being 00:54:52.269 --> 00:54:54.230 able to change how they feel instead of doing 00:54:54.230 --> 00:54:56.989 something about it was the worst idea i've ever 00:54:56.989 --> 00:55:01.750 had uh by far so when i went is i went back to 00:55:01.750 --> 00:55:04.469 the original stuff and you know the best proof 00:55:04.469 --> 00:55:07.510 of all this has been is my wife doing jujitsu 00:55:07.510 --> 00:55:14.630 she's a monster and um She was going to be a 00:55:14.630 --> 00:55:16.550 monster because that's just the type of people 00:55:16.550 --> 00:55:19.230 she is. The genetics are strong with that one. 00:55:19.610 --> 00:55:25.030 But the force is strong enough. But when she 00:55:25.030 --> 00:55:27.429 trained the jiu -jitsu, all the dudes were basically 00:55:27.429 --> 00:55:30.489 at the school. It's a very famous school where 00:55:30.489 --> 00:55:33.110 I'm at. And they were like, careful, you're sparring 00:55:33.110 --> 00:55:36.429 a man. That's not true, but you're sparring a 00:55:36.429 --> 00:55:40.550 15 -year -old man, boy, strength -wise. She has 00:55:40.550 --> 00:55:43.699 the strength of a 15, 16 -year -old boy. which 00:55:43.699 --> 00:55:46.119 is crazy for a woman. You spar with her and you 00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:50.179 go, ooh, I can't just relax. And she'll bully 00:55:50.179 --> 00:55:54.619 you to death if you do. And that's the sandbags. 00:55:55.500 --> 00:55:57.460 That's the yokari. That's the strength work we've 00:55:57.460 --> 00:56:00.019 done with her. It translates to jiu -jitsu so 00:56:00.019 --> 00:56:04.460 well. So well. On someone who's immensely gifted, 00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:07.159 don't get me wrong. But there was a proof to 00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:10.119 all that stuff, the sled, the sandbag, and everything. 00:56:10.219 --> 00:56:12.949 The proof was in jiu -jitsu. whenever i went 00:56:12.949 --> 00:56:15.789 back my strength on the mat was i don't move 00:56:15.789 --> 00:56:18.510 an inch if anything i got stronger from a grappling 00:56:18.510 --> 00:56:22.429 perspective it was it was very very very cool 00:56:22.429 --> 00:56:25.570 to see that i cut all assistance work because 00:56:25.570 --> 00:56:28.070 honestly there's no need for it you know what 00:56:28.070 --> 00:56:30.050 i've learned over all these years is you are 00:56:30.050 --> 00:56:32.590 built the way you are built and you're never 00:56:32.590 --> 00:56:35.829 going to change that so the whole assistance 00:56:35.829 --> 00:56:37.849 work to get i want bigger arms i want bigger 00:56:37.849 --> 00:56:40.920 legs i was like well Does your body want bigger 00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:42.639 arms? Does your body want bigger legs or whatever? 00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:46.039 Because I can squat, chicken legs. She squats, 00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:52.260 she has Brazilian legs. Yeah. It's not the squatting, 00:56:52.260 --> 00:56:54.440 it's you. In that case, it's me. I have chicken 00:56:54.440 --> 00:56:56.719 legs, but I got a really strong posterior chain. 00:56:56.900 --> 00:56:59.219 All right, well. And then at the end, the only 00:56:59.219 --> 00:57:00.800 thing that matters is like, is that what you're 00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:03.920 using when you lift? or when you grapple or whatever. 00:57:04.019 --> 00:57:06.840 Yeah, I use what I have, which means I had strong 00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:09.139 legs. I still squatted 550, so not good, but 00:57:09.139 --> 00:57:11.800 not bad either. But I still did it without legs. 00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:15.539 So, you know what I mean? Because I can't build 00:57:15.539 --> 00:57:17.500 legs. It's just that I have a big back, though. 00:57:18.039 --> 00:57:21.380 All right, so it didn't matter, right? If we 00:57:21.380 --> 00:57:24.260 both do sandbag squats, we're both going to get 00:57:24.260 --> 00:57:28.019 different things out of it. But we'll both get 00:57:28.019 --> 00:57:31.059 strong in a way that we can apply. And when we 00:57:31.059 --> 00:57:33.179 do jiu -jitsu, your jiu -jitsu being different 00:57:33.179 --> 00:57:35.880 than mine you will apply that strength your way 00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:37.960 the same way i will apply that strength my way 00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:41.099 but we will both be strong and so i was like 00:57:41.099 --> 00:57:43.679 so i went back to all the original stuff and 00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:45.980 that's all we do and it works extremely well 00:57:45.980 --> 00:57:50.179 on you not on me on you right and the difference 00:57:50.179 --> 00:57:55.519 is when people say i want x i'm like no this 00:57:55.519 --> 00:57:57.699 is what you do and you're gonna get what you're 00:57:57.699 --> 00:58:00.059 gonna get and if you're not happy with that go 00:58:00.059 --> 00:58:04.659 back in time change your parents Tell your mom 00:58:04.659 --> 00:58:06.960 to have sex with a stronger dude. How about that? 00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:11.059 Tell her to choose better. Go back in time. Tell 00:58:11.059 --> 00:58:13.139 her to choose better. That's the difference, 00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:16.260 right? And so we're going to train with the basic 00:58:16.260 --> 00:58:18.380 stuff, and you're going to get very good results 00:58:18.380 --> 00:58:21.880 based on who you are. And the reason I love training 00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:23.500 – I don't train my wife because you don't train 00:58:23.500 --> 00:58:25.619 your spouse, but I love, you know, like guiding 00:58:25.619 --> 00:58:28.940 her on the journey. Let's put it this way. is 00:58:28.940 --> 00:58:31.480 every single day I realize how unfair the whole 00:58:31.480 --> 00:58:36.440 thing is. Yep. There's nothing you can do about 00:58:36.440 --> 00:58:38.260 it, dude. You're just not as good as she is. 00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:41.099 You know what I mean? It's like, yeah, it sucks. 00:58:41.420 --> 00:58:46.539 Yeah, you're not those people. I think that's 00:58:46.539 --> 00:58:48.519 one of the biggest issues that I see. I mean, 00:58:48.539 --> 00:58:50.780 myself, you know, I've always been, you saw like 00:58:50.780 --> 00:58:52.820 when I was there, I've actually put on like another 00:58:52.820 --> 00:58:55.380 10 pounds or so since I retired and I'm sleeping 00:58:55.380 --> 00:58:59.239 now. But yeah, I mean, I walked out at six foot 00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:02.579 and 168. That was my whole career doing CrossFit, 00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:04.300 you know, pre -CrossFit, all that. That never 00:59:04.300 --> 00:59:06.800 changed. And, you know, you get guys that come 00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:08.960 in and they're, you know, mesomorphs or, you 00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:10.900 know, whatever type. And, you know, six months 00:59:10.900 --> 00:59:13.840 in, they're slinging around way, way faster than 00:59:13.840 --> 00:59:15.940 you, you know, and doing muscle ups. And it's 00:59:15.940 --> 00:59:18.199 like, again, it was frustrating. But just like 00:59:18.199 --> 00:59:21.420 you said, there's pros and cons in jujitsu. You 00:59:21.420 --> 00:59:23.360 know, I've got little. daddy long legs spider 00:59:23.360 --> 00:59:25.559 legs that can you know wrap around and have a 00:59:25.559 --> 00:59:28.199 huge base but am i gonna you know play a pressure 00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:30.980 game very well no of course not i'm like a little 00:59:30.980 --> 00:59:33.920 thick insect so so yeah but i think that's it 00:59:33.920 --> 00:59:35.980 there's a lot of shaming you know even in gyms 00:59:35.980 --> 00:59:37.480 like oh you're not as big as me you're not as 00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:40.460 strong as me and it's like having being truly 00:59:40.460 --> 00:59:42.480 grounded where you're like i'm okay with who 00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:44.980 i am and you know i want to be as strong as james 00:59:44.980 --> 00:59:47.400 gearing can be you know within reason i'm not 00:59:47.400 --> 00:59:49.639 going to focus all my time on strength but not 00:59:49.639 --> 00:59:52.559 looking at other people Yeah, but look, I've 00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:55.980 been 240 between 230 and 240 my, I don't know, 00:59:56.059 --> 00:59:58.440 the last 20 years or so, right?

I'm like, 01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:04.179 I'm not, because I was competing with strong 01:00:04.179 --> 01:00:07.380 men, people that were, a friend of mine was 6 01:00:07.380 --> 01:00:11.039 '6", 350, and I have a picture of him next to 01:00:11.039 --> 01:00:13.880 Hathor, and he looks like a kid. I've stood next 01:00:13.880 --> 01:00:18.469 to Thor, not like an infant. Oh, my Lord. People 01:00:18.469 --> 01:00:20.489 don't understand how big that man is. He's huge. 01:00:20.590 --> 01:00:23.989 Right. So those that were my friends, right? 01:00:24.389 --> 01:00:26.730 And so I was like, you guys don't understand. 01:00:26.909 --> 01:00:28.989 I'm a shrimp. And even the weights I lift is 01:00:28.989 --> 01:00:32.230 fucking so light. So I was all proud of, you 01:00:32.230 --> 01:00:34.429 know, my 900 -pound yoke carry for 100 feet. 01:00:34.510 --> 01:00:37.369 But, right, it's still a warm -up for those fuckers. 01:00:37.670 --> 01:00:41.030 By the way, twice my weight, mutually. I walk 01:00:41.030 --> 01:00:43.670 around 235. The dude over there is 465. I'm like, 01:00:43.750 --> 01:00:48.760 oh, okay. Yeah. Right. So how are you going to 01:00:48.760 --> 01:00:50.599 change that? Well, you're not. I got news for 01:00:50.599 --> 01:00:52.079 you. There's no amount of steroids you can take 01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:54.300 that's going to change that shit. It's just you're 01:00:54.300 --> 01:00:56.920 not that. But I was good as a 230. All right. 01:00:57.900 --> 01:00:59.420 So, you know what I mean? Like, it's relative, 01:00:59.659 --> 01:01:03.659 man. Yes, you're 170, but you're not 135. I got 01:01:03.659 --> 01:01:05.820 plenty of those at the gym. These Brazilian men 01:01:05.820 --> 01:01:10.219 are not big. I got a bunch of 140s at the gym. 01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:12.619 And they're not bad at Jiu -Jitsu, let me tell 01:01:12.619 --> 01:01:17.619 you. Yeah. But then they can move all day. Their 01:01:17.619 --> 01:01:20.099 endurance is insane. And they have like that, 01:01:20.179 --> 01:01:23.260 you know, like that little man motor, like, I 01:01:23.260 --> 01:01:25.539 need to prove something, which means they train 01:01:25.539 --> 01:01:26.900 six hours a day. You know what I mean? Then they 01:01:26.900 --> 01:01:28.460 go to work and they come back. You know what 01:01:28.460 --> 01:01:30.179 I mean? Like, you go like, oh, my Lord, you're 01:01:30.179 --> 01:01:31.940 completely insane. Well, me, I'm more like chill, 01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:33.980 relaxed. Of course, I'm chill and relaxed. I'm 01:01:33.980 --> 01:01:37.079 235. What would I not be chill and relaxed? I 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:38.079 don't have anything to prove. You know what I 01:01:38.079 --> 01:01:40.059 mean? But when half torque comes around, it makes 01:01:40.059 --> 01:01:44.340 me lift a little bit heavier. It ain't fair, 01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:49.539 sister. I mean, like, you do what you got to 01:01:49.539 --> 01:01:52.239 do, but at some point, look in the mirror, it's 01:01:52.239 --> 01:01:54.320 like, where can I get better? So me, I know I 01:01:54.320 --> 01:01:56.639 have my exercises. Like, as long as the sandbag 01:01:56.639 --> 01:01:59.000 carry stays up, my yoke carry, I got a bunch 01:01:59.000 --> 01:02:01.500 of stuff. If that stays up, I'm strong. I can 01:02:01.500 --> 01:02:04.019 still do a lot of jiu -jitsu. There you go. So 01:02:04.019 --> 01:02:06.139 what I've learned, honestly, me, is just I cut 01:02:06.139 --> 01:02:10.320 out all the other shit. It's honestly like... 01:02:10.510 --> 01:02:12.429 Can you give me three good training sessions 01:02:12.429 --> 01:02:14.610 a week? Good. Some people will train twice a 01:02:14.610 --> 01:02:16.929 week and become world champions. Others will 01:02:16.929 --> 01:02:19.750 have to train 12 times a week. You don't get 01:02:19.750 --> 01:02:22.710 to choose either. I need to recover. I can only 01:02:22.710 --> 01:02:24.550 do so many training sessions. After that, I just 01:02:24.550 --> 01:02:27.710 don't do well. I'm a neural output guy, which 01:02:27.710 --> 01:02:31.150 means it's how hard I hit when I hit. Janina 01:02:31.150 --> 01:02:33.349 is more like a volume person. She needs to train 01:02:33.349 --> 01:02:36.989 a lot. Okay, there's no good or bad in this. 01:02:37.090 --> 01:02:39.730 It's just the way you're built. I am built as 01:02:39.730 --> 01:02:42.210 a neural output guy, which means put me under 01:02:42.210 --> 01:02:44.769 a heavy weight that wants to crush me. And if 01:02:44.769 --> 01:02:47.030 I have to make it at that line over there, I 01:02:47.030 --> 01:02:49.570 will make it. Because mentally, I'll be like, 01:02:49.630 --> 01:02:51.690 I'm not letting go. And there's that voice that 01:02:51.690 --> 01:02:53.670 tells me not. And then I'm like, I'm going there. 01:02:53.949 --> 01:02:57.150 I have that. But she has that volume where she 01:02:57.150 --> 01:03:00.010 can just fucking train twice a day, three times 01:03:00.010 --> 01:03:02.289 a day for three weeks and go, I don't care. I 01:03:02.289 --> 01:03:04.130 can't do that. I don't have it. I don't have 01:03:04.130 --> 01:03:07.269 that. But I have the thing when it gets heavy. 01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:09.519 You know what I mean? Like, all right, whatever 01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:12.599 that is, you need to find that, which one is 01:03:12.599 --> 01:03:15.119 yours. And then you capitalize on that because 01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:17.239 the other stuff I got news for you, it's not 01:03:17.239 --> 01:03:21.980 yours. Like, I will look like Arnold. God knows 01:03:21.980 --> 01:03:25.320 I've been trying since I'm like 14 years old 01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:29.239 or whatever. So was it Terminator or Conan the 01:03:29.239 --> 01:03:31.119 first one? It's probably Terminator. I was like, 01:03:31.179 --> 01:03:33.039 I don't care what he does. I need to look like 01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:36.380 that. type of thing. And there's only one. I 01:03:36.380 --> 01:03:38.800 was not born to be a professional bodybuilder, 01:03:38.820 --> 01:03:40.420 but I'm strong as shit and I'm good at grappling. 01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:43.820 All right, well, that's what you do. So save 01:03:43.820 --> 01:03:46.840 yourself a lot of heartache and just find that. 01:03:47.119 --> 01:03:49.300 And so I cut down all assistance work because 01:03:49.300 --> 01:03:52.059 I'm not a muscle capacity guy. So it's useless 01:03:52.059 --> 01:03:54.840 for me anyway. I just get tired. So instead, 01:03:55.019 --> 01:03:58.039 I have my exercises that I can do well with a 01:03:58.039 --> 01:04:00.300 sandbag and stuff. And I just spend my energy 01:04:00.300 --> 01:04:03.369 on that and the return on investment. is much, 01:04:03.429 --> 01:04:07.769 much higher. Cut the bullshit, cut the ego, look 01:04:07.769 --> 01:04:10.309 in the mirror, see what you're good at. There's 01:04:10.309 --> 01:04:12.610 something you're good at. There's something you 01:04:12.610 --> 01:04:15.429 can be good at, right? Something that has a highest 01:04:15.429 --> 01:04:18.929 return on investment for you. Go do that. And 01:04:18.929 --> 01:04:21.710 unfortunately, you might not be the guy you wanted 01:04:21.710 --> 01:04:24.150 to be. All right, that doesn't mean you're nobody. 01:04:25.010 --> 01:04:27.190 You are someone, just go find out who that is. 01:04:27.550 --> 01:04:29.610 He might not be the guy you chose. I chose Arnaud. 01:04:29.769 --> 01:04:34.389 Well, turns out that's not me. Yeah, I see it 01:04:34.389 --> 01:04:36.909 as train tracks. You can be in a station with 01:04:36.909 --> 01:04:40.650 multiple tracks, and it's great that you want 01:04:40.650 --> 01:04:42.110 to be ahead of that other person, but you're 01:04:42.110 --> 01:04:45.090 on a different set of rails. You never can be 01:04:45.090 --> 01:04:46.789 on those other rails, you know what I mean? So 01:04:46.789 --> 01:04:49.909 the way I look at it, if you look at early CrossFit, 01:04:49.969 --> 01:04:52.570 when I used to train from the main site, back 01:04:52.570 --> 01:04:54.769 then it was awesome because I'd find a guy named 01:04:54.769 --> 01:04:57.889 Sven in Sweden who was six foot tall and roughly 01:04:57.889 --> 01:05:00.250 my age and roughly my weight and be like, okay. 01:05:00.429 --> 01:05:03.010 But it wasn't I was trying to beat Sven. you 01:05:03.010 --> 01:05:04.869 were using each other as a barometer, like, how 01:05:04.869 --> 01:05:07.070 are we doing? How am I doing on my own journey? 01:05:07.389 --> 01:05:09.190 And then when the games kind of took off and 01:05:09.190 --> 01:05:11.989 it became competitive, now everyone in the gym 01:05:11.989 --> 01:05:13.809 is trying to, air quotes, beat each other in 01:05:13.809 --> 01:05:16.369 the ward. That's when I think you saw the form 01:05:16.369 --> 01:05:18.769 start to diminish. And then, like you said, it 01:05:18.769 --> 01:05:21.590 was almost discouraging because, oh, I never 01:05:21.590 --> 01:05:23.650 beat Steve. He always crushes me instead of going, 01:05:23.769 --> 01:05:26.190 I'm better than I was a week ago. That's amazing. 01:05:26.780 --> 01:05:28.559 you know and those two things get blurred it 01:05:28.559 --> 01:05:31.579 was amazing because sven beat you at certain 01:05:31.579 --> 01:05:35.679 stuff but you beat sven at other stuff yeah so 01:05:35.679 --> 01:05:38.900 now you understand how life works you go ah but 01:05:38.900 --> 01:05:41.440 he can i can beat him here oh but he's good there 01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:43.659 so let me catch up a bit here hey i'm within 01:05:43.659 --> 01:05:46.780 90 of sven i did good because you know you beat 01:05:46.780 --> 01:05:49.139 him on that and he's doing the same and now like 01:05:49.139 --> 01:05:51.639 you know like how hating that guy gives you so 01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:55.239 much games i love to hate people like those my 01:05:55.239 --> 01:05:57.000 friends are the people i hate Because they're 01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:59.179 the ones who make me do better. I mean, so there's 01:05:59.179 --> 01:06:00.699 always that one guy you hate more than anybody 01:06:00.699 --> 01:06:03.280 else. That's your best friend right there. You 01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:05.820 need to hate that guy, right? But you hate him 01:06:05.820 --> 01:06:07.679 because on certain things he's better, on others 01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:09.519 you are, and then you go back and forth. And 01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:12.179 that's how the thing moves. When we started to 01:06:12.179 --> 01:06:14.280 go, like, I need to be that dude, then you're 01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:15.900 screwed. It's like saying, I'm going to be the 01:06:15.900 --> 01:06:18.099 greatest sprinter that ever worked here, right 01:06:18.099 --> 01:06:23.699 here. With a chances are, no. That piece was 01:06:23.699 --> 01:06:26.610 taken. I ain't going to be me, unfortunately. 01:06:26.969 --> 01:06:30.010 And it's funny because if I say that about basketball, 01:06:30.210 --> 01:06:32.469 I want to play in the NBA tomorrow. Sprinting, 01:06:32.469 --> 01:06:35.510 right? Everybody will laugh. But whenever it 01:06:35.510 --> 01:06:37.309 comes to gym stuff, everybody was like, oh, yeah, 01:06:37.349 --> 01:06:41.110 you just have to work out. Bodybuilding, strongman, 01:06:41.170 --> 01:06:46.570 oh, you just have to work out. No, no, no. Jadina, 01:06:46.590 --> 01:06:49.090 they lift 440 for a reason. She's fucking strong. 01:06:50.969 --> 01:06:53.469 I mean, and she'll get to 500 because she's that 01:06:53.469 --> 01:06:57.460 strong. Yeah, it's not fair. But you're not her 01:06:57.460 --> 01:06:59.880 either. You know what I mean? But it's the idea 01:06:59.880 --> 01:07:02.079 like work hard and everything in the gym. It's 01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:04.880 the same thing as working hard on sprinting. 01:07:04.920 --> 01:07:08.559 Are you going to get better? Yes. That's it. 01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:12.239 That's it. You're going to get better. The only 01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:15.099 thing I can guarantee you is that. But how far 01:07:15.099 --> 01:07:18.800 you take it, who the fuck knows? I don't know 01:07:18.800 --> 01:07:21.079 either, by the way. I just know that within two 01:07:21.079 --> 01:07:22.719 years, you're going to make it at national level. 01:07:23.179 --> 01:07:26.539 you'll never be a world champion yeah you watch 01:07:26.539 --> 01:07:29.079 one of these races with the real champions you 01:07:29.079 --> 01:07:31.659 know and they just get to smoke the rest of the 01:07:31.659 --> 01:07:33.920 course so you see even these elite sprinters 01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:36.159 for example that would crush you any day of the 01:07:36.159 --> 01:07:38.679 week these high level people come and it's just 01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:41.019 another another gene pool completely because 01:07:41.019 --> 01:07:43.840 you know they all trained their ass off it's 01:07:43.840 --> 01:07:46.159 another year you never know existed like honestly 01:07:46.159 --> 01:07:49.539 the rule is simple is a world champion will get 01:07:49.539 --> 01:07:53.110 to a national level in two years cruising not 01:07:53.110 --> 01:07:56.489 training just around and within two years is 01:07:56.489 --> 01:07:58.269 national level and you go what just happened 01:07:58.269 --> 01:08:01.670 i've been here for 12 years working myself and 01:08:01.670 --> 01:08:05.050 then uh three years later is four years later 01:08:05.050 --> 01:08:08.550 is top 20 in the world and now the world starts 01:08:08.550 --> 01:08:11.849 because the next five years is going to go from 01:08:11.849 --> 01:08:16.250 the 15th spot to the fifth that's five years 01:08:16.250 --> 01:08:19.050 right there and the other three years is to get 01:08:19.050 --> 01:08:23.270 from fifth to third that's the problem is the 01:08:23.270 --> 01:08:27.170 work starts once they get to top 20 in the world 01:08:27.170 --> 01:08:31.550 and now you have that top two that is just built 01:08:31.550 --> 01:08:34.909 different from those guys yeah that you just 01:08:34.909 --> 01:08:38.489 don't touch then you get bold and you go like 01:08:38.489 --> 01:08:42.529 yeah well no it's one you know you get that one 01:08:42.529 --> 01:08:47.229 in your generation yeah not to say they didn't 01:08:47.229 --> 01:08:49.829 work hard on any of that stuff you just like 01:08:49.829 --> 01:08:53.699 you don't understand how past humans, some humans 01:08:53.699 --> 01:08:57.800 are. The Haftor, those people, they're just like, 01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:01.460 nah, man, this is built different. It's built 01:09:01.460 --> 01:09:04.539 different. And so, like, we know that on specific 01:09:04.539 --> 01:09:07.220 sports, but I just find it so funny when it comes 01:09:07.220 --> 01:09:09.760 to the fitness industry that just work harder, 01:09:09.840 --> 01:09:12.279 you get the six -pack, you get the glutes, you 01:09:12.279 --> 01:09:13.920 get the pecs and everything. It's like, nah, 01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:16.760 that game is not for you. Those girls on Instagram, 01:09:17.060 --> 01:09:20.039 there's very few. usually they're on drugs and 01:09:20.039 --> 01:09:22.579 then it's a good lighting and it's six weeks 01:09:22.579 --> 01:09:25.619 just to take that one video and you don't understand 01:09:25.619 --> 01:09:27.760 what comes to that and everything it's like the 01:09:27.760 --> 01:09:31.479 there's a there's a web of lies in the fitness 01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:33.859 industry that is becoming that was never good 01:09:33.859 --> 01:09:36.920 but with instagram it's getting worse well i 01:09:36.920 --> 01:09:38.819 think it's it's discouraging a lot of people 01:09:38.819 --> 01:09:41.479 i mean you think about covid what really made 01:09:41.479 --> 01:09:43.640 me sad was there a group of people that were 01:09:43.640 --> 01:09:47.529 in gyms That had really taken a long time to 01:09:47.529 --> 01:09:49.289 find the courage to walk through the door for 01:09:49.289 --> 01:09:51.329 the first time. And then they were carried away 01:09:51.329 --> 01:09:53.930 and they were they were doing really well. And 01:09:53.930 --> 01:09:56.789 then that hard stop hit. And then, you know, 01:09:56.810 --> 01:09:58.289 a lot of them we didn't see again. It was very 01:09:58.289 --> 01:10:00.989 sad. The same thing, I think, with the social 01:10:00.989 --> 01:10:04.170 media thing is, you know, all you see is not 01:10:04.170 --> 01:10:05.930 only people's Instagram highlights, but you're 01:10:05.930 --> 01:10:08.090 also seeing some of the fittest, strongest, fastest 01:10:08.090 --> 01:10:11.409 in the world as well. And so, you know, some 01:10:11.409 --> 01:10:12.869 of these people look at it and go, well, I could 01:10:12.869 --> 01:10:15.579 never get to that level. And it's so sad because 01:10:15.579 --> 01:10:18.300 no one's asking you to get to that level. But 01:10:18.300 --> 01:10:20.579 if you can get rid of the extra 20 pounds that 01:10:20.579 --> 01:10:22.220 you're carrying around and play with the kids 01:10:22.220 --> 01:10:25.279 or stop your back hurting, that is a huge, huge 01:10:25.279 --> 01:10:28.539 leap forward. But you've got this elitism. And 01:10:28.539 --> 01:10:30.000 like you said, a lot of it is fake. How many 01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:32.100 bodybuilders on Instagram are dead now because 01:10:32.100 --> 01:10:34.140 they lean down to nothing and have nightmares 01:10:34.140 --> 01:10:37.800 and strokes and all that? You know, so it's such 01:10:37.800 --> 01:10:40.380 a dangerous kind of wave in the so -called fitness. 01:10:40.439 --> 01:10:42.479 And it has nothing to do with fitness. It's narcissism 01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:45.159 is what it actually is. Oh, yeah, 100%. It has 01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:47.079 nothing to do with fitness. And what chills me 01:10:47.079 --> 01:10:49.659 is those people during COVID that gained 25 pounds, 01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:51.600 they'll never go back to the gym because it was 01:10:51.600 --> 01:10:55.020 so hard in the first place. And it's twice as 01:10:55.020 --> 01:10:57.979 hard to come back as it was to get there in the 01:10:57.979 --> 01:10:59.899 first place. You lost the weight, you're getting 01:10:59.899 --> 01:11:02.359 back, oh, it's a bitch to go back to the gym 01:11:02.359 --> 01:11:04.979 after that. And everybody looks at you, and they 01:11:04.979 --> 01:11:08.520 all know, and oh, my Lord. And so we will not 01:11:08.520 --> 01:11:14.060 see those people ever again. It's not like we're 01:11:14.060 --> 01:11:17.300 winning that war already, right, of the obesity 01:11:17.300 --> 01:11:20.319 and all of that. So then it's just more people 01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:22.840 towards the Olympic, which scares me so much 01:11:22.840 --> 01:11:26.159 because then there's less need of a gym. And 01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:28.279 then again, like, we're losing the CJs, right, 01:11:28.380 --> 01:11:30.600 in the fitness industry. But sooner or later, 01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:32.380 we're going to start losing the gyms as well 01:11:32.380 --> 01:11:36.239 because, you know, like, and by the way, Instagram 01:11:36.239 --> 01:11:38.399 is not helping gyms. Like, you know, with all 01:11:38.399 --> 01:11:41.220 the... Like you see, men are going less and less 01:11:41.220 --> 01:11:43.680 to gyms now because of all the problems we have 01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:47.779 associated with videos in the gym. And then, 01:11:47.779 --> 01:11:50.680 you know, like the TikTok problem and then the 01:11:50.680 --> 01:11:52.579 OnlyFans problem and all that stuff. You have 01:11:52.579 --> 01:11:55.439 less and less men in gyms. So now we're going 01:11:55.439 --> 01:11:59.100 to bankrupt that industry. And then what? Yeah. 01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:04.659 Those are the things that I see on and I'm like, 01:12:04.739 --> 01:12:07.319 fellas. We need to do something about it. And 01:12:07.319 --> 01:12:10.079 CrossFit was really give us like a, like a new 01:12:10.079 --> 01:12:13.319 jolt of energy toward that. But then COVID took 01:12:13.319 --> 01:12:17.119 care of that too. Yeah. Yeah. And now that we 01:12:17.119 --> 01:12:19.159 got rid of Greg Glassman, you know, CrossFit 01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:22.880 is dying. And so where do we go? People like 01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:25.939 you, you or me, where do we go? Yeah. So I train 01:12:25.939 --> 01:12:29.399 at home. We, the, the gym that I train at, um, 01:12:29.479 --> 01:12:31.539 that we were trying to get you to years ago, 01:12:31.619 --> 01:12:33.319 you know, if you ever came to central Florida, 01:12:33.500 --> 01:12:36.720 um, i got to give massive props i mean when when 01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:38.720 the covert thing happened we did everything that 01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:40.500 they said initially you know they closed they 01:12:40.500 --> 01:12:43.579 genuinely did and then we transitioned to outside 01:12:43.579 --> 01:12:45.779 six feet apart and then you know you realize 01:12:45.779 --> 01:12:47.760 wait a second lifting platforms are six feet 01:12:47.760 --> 01:12:49.979 apart anyway so crossfit has always been six 01:12:49.979 --> 01:12:52.720 feet apart so then they went back in but they 01:12:52.720 --> 01:12:55.560 they've they've actually switched to um wolf 01:12:55.560 --> 01:12:57.399 brigade programming now have you heard of that 01:12:57.399 --> 01:13:06.199 yes yeah so greg So, Greg's programming, he was 01:13:06.199 --> 01:13:08.680 a former CrossFit guy as well, but he, kind of 01:13:08.680 --> 01:13:10.680 like yourself, kind of leaned a lot more into 01:13:10.680 --> 01:13:16.619 the heavier side, sandbags, unilateral kettlebell 01:13:16.619 --> 01:13:19.779 movements, a lot of mace work, and we've shifted 01:13:19.779 --> 01:13:22.260 to that. And at first, there was this big kind 01:13:22.260 --> 01:13:24.880 of knee -jerk, startle reflex from the diehard 01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:27.479 CrossFitters because, you know, you're not flogging 01:13:27.479 --> 01:13:29.859 yourself to death every class. And there are 01:13:29.859 --> 01:13:32.560 Metcons, don't get me wrong, but it's more kind 01:13:32.560 --> 01:13:35.100 of leaning towards, you know, what you do as 01:13:35.100 --> 01:13:38.340 well. And that has been amazing because we have 01:13:38.340 --> 01:13:41.359 kept those kind of people in the gym. And it's 01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:43.220 packed now, absolutely packed. And you've got 01:13:43.220 --> 01:13:44.680 to be careful because you can get decapitated 01:13:44.680 --> 01:13:46.619 by a mace if you walk through the gym these days. 01:13:47.239 --> 01:13:50.159 Yeah, you know, 100%, but that's... I love to 01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:52.199 know good people do well, are doing well, but 01:13:52.199 --> 01:13:53.600 that's what we're going to see. We're going to 01:13:53.600 --> 01:13:56.239 see fewer and fewer of those places. So at least 01:13:56.239 --> 01:13:58.039 they'll be packed. So from a business perspective, 01:13:58.260 --> 01:14:02.100 it's good. But I don't, maybe we'll clear up 01:14:02.100 --> 01:14:05.420 people that should not have been there, but we'll 01:14:05.420 --> 01:14:07.399 see what happens in the long run. I am a little 01:14:07.399 --> 01:14:11.119 bit worried about the direction of what we do 01:14:11.119 --> 01:14:14.439 because of, I'm afraid of that we're going to 01:14:14.439 --> 01:14:18.359 start to lack a sufficient number of competent 01:14:18.359 --> 01:14:21.640 people. I'm happy that you don't because you 01:14:21.640 --> 01:14:24.199 have a good guy in him and everything. And there's 01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:28.619 still plenty of them. I just hope he keeps going 01:14:28.619 --> 01:14:30.899 that route. That's all. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's 01:14:30.899 --> 01:14:35.529 so... so far the wrong way when it comes to what's 01:14:35.529 --> 01:14:37.069 needed in this country. Because as we talked 01:14:37.069 --> 01:14:40.189 about post -COVID, we have 70 % of the nation 01:14:40.189 --> 01:14:42.010 that's obese or overweight. And we're crying 01:14:42.010 --> 01:14:44.029 out for all these things, you know, socially, 01:14:44.189 --> 01:14:46.050 whether it's better, you know, schools and PE 01:14:46.050 --> 01:14:48.810 programs and the arts and all these other areas. 01:14:48.909 --> 01:14:50.149 And they're like, oh, we're going to have to 01:14:50.149 --> 01:14:52.449 have more taxes. It's like, well, no. I mean, 01:14:52.489 --> 01:14:56.029 the NHS, for example, in the UK, before it got 01:14:56.029 --> 01:15:00.409 sliced and diced by privatization, the idea was 01:15:00.890 --> 01:15:03.470 If you have a tax based health care system, the 01:15:03.470 --> 01:15:05.689 ultimate push is to make British people healthy. 01:15:05.789 --> 01:15:09.149 So we use the NHS as a little. You have a profit 01:15:09.149 --> 01:15:12.050 based health care system like the US. The push 01:15:12.050 --> 01:15:14.390 is to make people sick. So now you have this 01:15:14.390 --> 01:15:18.010 COVID where drug companies make billions. And 01:15:18.010 --> 01:15:20.210 then all of a sudden, magically, gyms are starting 01:15:20.210 --> 01:15:22.670 to be demonized and closed down. You know, and 01:15:22.670 --> 01:15:24.590 now pills are replacing fitness, like you said, 01:15:24.670 --> 01:15:28.069 with TRT and Ozempic and everything. It's the 01:15:28.069 --> 01:15:32.130 complete wrong direction. And I am an incurable 01:15:32.130 --> 01:15:35.189 yet angry optimist. I believe that we're about 01:15:35.189 --> 01:15:37.409 to see a renaissance. I think people are peeping 01:15:37.409 --> 01:15:39.770 behind the curtain now and realizing a lot of 01:15:39.770 --> 01:15:42.109 this corporate greed and power and everything 01:15:42.109 --> 01:15:44.149 from corporations to presidents. I would agree 01:15:44.149 --> 01:15:47.970 with that. I'm just an action -based person. 01:15:49.980 --> 01:15:52.579 I want to think, and I'm with you on that, by 01:15:52.579 --> 01:15:54.939 the way. I want to think in can, not cannot. 01:15:55.319 --> 01:15:57.279 Always, right? It's like, don't tell me what 01:15:57.279 --> 01:15:59.659 I cannot do, just tell me what can be done. What 01:15:59.659 --> 01:16:01.420 can be done, and then we'll try to do that. I 01:16:01.420 --> 01:16:04.840 just want to have a conversation toward, let's 01:16:04.840 --> 01:16:06.560 stop the bullshit, let's go back to our competence, 01:16:06.819 --> 01:16:10.199 and let's start doing stuff. Not just like, oh 01:16:10.199 --> 01:16:11.960 my lord, oh my lord, oh my lord, every three 01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:14.380 seconds and all that stuff. Like, feelings are 01:16:14.380 --> 01:16:17.100 great. Can we start doing stuff? Yeah. Well, 01:16:17.180 --> 01:16:19.350 I mean, it affects national security. It affects 01:16:19.350 --> 01:16:22.689 the ability to recruit the right military members, 01:16:22.850 --> 01:16:24.569 the right first responders, police officers. 01:16:24.810 --> 01:16:27.010 And let's take police for a second because, sadly, 01:16:27.090 --> 01:16:29.449 there's a lot of videos of the wrong type of 01:16:29.449 --> 01:16:32.470 people in policing. Look at the mistakes, the 01:16:32.470 --> 01:16:34.750 Breonna Taylors, whoever it is. When there is 01:16:34.750 --> 01:16:37.550 an error in law enforcement, Evaldi, children 01:16:37.550 --> 01:16:41.130 die. Young women die. It doesn't matter who it 01:16:41.130 --> 01:16:43.850 is. People die. And then there's a huge, again, 01:16:43.989 --> 01:16:46.590 monetary value to that. The most important thing 01:16:46.590 --> 01:16:49.460 is that you killed someone. the budgetary side 01:16:49.460 --> 01:16:53.039 to that is horrendous too. So by shrinking the 01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:55.319 group that you can hire from, you're making the 01:16:55.319 --> 01:16:58.079 chances of you hiring the wrong person greater 01:16:58.079 --> 01:17:01.239 and greater and greater. That will get fixed 01:17:01.239 --> 01:17:03.899 because I live in Brazil and trust me, you do 01:17:03.899 --> 01:17:07.199 not want to live without cops. Yeah, no question. 01:17:07.420 --> 01:17:09.659 They can talk all they want. That one, you're 01:17:09.659 --> 01:17:11.500 going to know right away. Defend the police, 01:17:11.640 --> 01:17:14.220 see what happens in Oakland. That shape will 01:17:14.220 --> 01:17:16.899 not last another five years because... I lived 01:17:16.899 --> 01:17:19.359 in Fiannopolis, which is the probably safest 01:17:19.359 --> 01:17:22.520 place outside of Dubai I've ever been to. But 01:17:22.520 --> 01:17:25.659 the cops here, they don't play. You know, like 01:17:25.659 --> 01:17:28.319 drunk people or homeless or whatever on the island, 01:17:28.520 --> 01:17:31.060 you see them for a week and you don't see them 01:17:31.060 --> 01:17:32.800 anymore. They're not dead. They just take them 01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:35.359 at night, put them into there, and then put them 01:17:35.359 --> 01:17:36.939 back on the mainland and everything. But they 01:17:36.939 --> 01:17:39.680 do it at night. No one sees it. And you're right. 01:17:39.760 --> 01:17:42.500 We're all like, good job. Don't want them around 01:17:42.500 --> 01:17:45.880 my kids. Thank you. Yeah. And so, but I can't, 01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:48.079 no one criticizes the police here because they 01:17:48.079 --> 01:17:50.739 go, you want to deal with it yourself? Go ahead. 01:17:51.000 --> 01:17:55.260 And then that shuts people up real fast. So the 01:17:55.260 --> 01:17:57.800 defund the police and that insanity that is behind 01:17:57.800 --> 01:17:59.979 that, I'm not too worried about the US because 01:17:59.979 --> 01:18:03.199 you cannot survive without cops for very long. 01:18:03.340 --> 01:18:06.260 You can't survive without gyms, I can tell you 01:18:06.260 --> 01:18:08.880 that. Yeah, that movement is already dead. The 01:18:08.880 --> 01:18:11.579 defund movement just died on its ass after a 01:18:11.579 --> 01:18:14.920 few years. It's like firefighters, like, look 01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:17.939 what happened in l .a and everything you get 01:18:17.939 --> 01:18:19.899 another two of those they're gonna go okay stop 01:18:19.899 --> 01:18:22.100 like that's it like how much money do you need 01:18:22.100 --> 01:18:25.060 what do we do of course people only learn through 01:18:25.060 --> 01:18:29.180 catastrophes and stuff unfortunately but the 01:18:29.180 --> 01:18:31.699 cops will be first the five firefighters will 01:18:31.699 --> 01:18:33.680 be second i have no doubt of that you cannot 01:18:33.680 --> 01:18:35.760 live without those i know that from living in 01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:38.100 a third world country my problem is the gyms 01:18:38.100 --> 01:18:40.579 are far far far down the line of all of that 01:18:40.579 --> 01:18:42.739 which happens to be my world so that worries 01:18:42.739 --> 01:18:47.460 me yeah Absolutely. Well, speaking of the strength 01:18:47.460 --> 01:18:50.340 training and jujitsu, one of the things that 01:18:50.340 --> 01:18:52.680 I've always been told, and again, I'm not the 01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:54.939 power athlete. I am more of the motor kind of 01:18:54.939 --> 01:18:58.159 guy, which serves my profession very well. I 01:18:58.159 --> 01:18:59.699 don't need a one rep. You need to be able to 01:18:59.699 --> 01:19:02.060 work for 10, 20, 30 minutes, an hour, whatever 01:19:02.060 --> 01:19:04.640 it ends up being. But in jujitsu, people kept 01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:08.489 saying about how strong I was. sounds so weird 01:19:08.489 --> 01:19:10.590 to me because i'm in the gym and alongside as 01:19:10.590 --> 01:19:12.369 we just talked about people i'm comparing myself 01:19:12.369 --> 01:19:14.770 to they're a lot stronger but what i realized 01:19:14.770 --> 01:19:17.970 it was the sandbag carry especially the the rope 01:19:17.970 --> 01:19:21.489 pull with the sled that endurance with the um 01:19:21.489 --> 01:19:24.409 you know the grip strength um and then like the 01:19:24.409 --> 01:19:26.989 turkish get up amazing someone's on side control 01:19:26.989 --> 01:19:29.529 be able to just sit up and palm them off with 01:19:29.529 --> 01:19:31.909 this kind of weird look in their eyes so talk 01:19:31.909 --> 01:19:33.529 to me about the application with that because 01:19:33.529 --> 01:19:35.229 i don't think we've talked about training and 01:19:35.229 --> 01:19:37.569 martial arts especially jiu -jitsu specifically 01:19:37.569 --> 01:19:41.630 right well the main thing that you see and that's 01:19:41.630 --> 01:19:44.310 what they all told me is like we see guys that 01:19:44.310 --> 01:19:47.449 are strong in the gym but he does zero for jiu 01:19:47.449 --> 01:19:51.210 -jitsu because they are incapable of using it 01:19:51.210 --> 01:19:53.989 because gym strength is concentric mostly semi 01:19:53.989 --> 01:19:57.319 -centric but it's a lot of you know moving at 01:19:57.319 --> 01:20:00.140 a specific speed and things like that where you 01:20:00.140 --> 01:20:02.720 control and everything. None of that is applicable 01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:04.600 to Jiu -Jitsu because you're never in control. 01:20:04.859 --> 01:20:07.979 You have to be very reactive and everything. 01:20:08.199 --> 01:20:10.119 But the greatest thing with the Senbai is that 01:20:10.119 --> 01:20:13.109 isometric strength it gives you. it gives you 01:20:13.109 --> 01:20:15.149 two things first the isometric because you hold 01:20:15.149 --> 01:20:17.590 and it gives you you know that rotation and all 01:20:17.590 --> 01:20:19.909 of that and the second is that it builds a structure 01:20:19.909 --> 01:20:22.810 in a way that you can just apply pressure and 01:20:22.810 --> 01:20:25.649 take pressure in a way that others cannot like 01:20:25.649 --> 01:20:27.329 what i've seen with people that are very strong 01:20:27.329 --> 01:20:29.449 in the gym is you lay on side control stuff like 01:20:29.449 --> 01:20:32.149 that they can't breathe they have none of that 01:20:32.149 --> 01:20:34.350 structural strength that me i'm used to with 01:20:34.350 --> 01:20:37.029 a setback that is so rough so mean makes you 01:20:37.029 --> 01:20:39.590 ache everywhere at first but it prepares you 01:20:39.590 --> 01:20:42.289 for jiu -jitsu because it's exactly the same 01:20:42.289 --> 01:20:44.770 type of strength. Sandbag, carry, and everything 01:20:44.770 --> 01:20:46.710 is wrestling. It's exactly the same stuff. It's 01:20:46.710 --> 01:20:50.210 farm work, basically. It gives you toughness, 01:20:50.289 --> 01:20:53.130 the rotation, the isometric, the eccentric. It 01:20:53.130 --> 01:20:57.149 gives you capacity to handle difficult work in 01:20:57.149 --> 01:21:00.489 a way that your gym never will. So it's great 01:21:00.489 --> 01:21:02.449 to be strong in the gym and everything, but the 01:21:02.449 --> 01:21:05.449 fact is it's not always usable. Not like the 01:21:05.449 --> 01:21:07.270 sandbag, the rope pull is. You know what's funny 01:21:07.270 --> 01:21:09.970 about the rope pull? It's John Bannerher, who's 01:21:09.970 --> 01:21:13.439 the head trainer. who trained Gordon Ryan, the 01:21:13.439 --> 01:21:16.840 greatest no -gi grappler of all time. His favorite 01:21:16.840 --> 01:21:21.279 exercise was the rope climb for exactly the same 01:21:21.279 --> 01:21:22.880 reason we like the rope pole. So the difference 01:21:22.880 --> 01:21:25.079 is the rope pole is obviously you can change 01:21:25.079 --> 01:21:27.920 the variables much better and then you're not 01:21:27.920 --> 01:21:31.039 going to fall and not everybody can do rope climbs 01:21:31.039 --> 01:21:34.079 anyway. So it was the same idea. Those are exercises 01:21:34.079 --> 01:21:37.340 that just apply themselves extremely well to 01:21:37.340 --> 01:21:40.680 grappling, for example, which is wrestling a 01:21:40.680 --> 01:21:45.140 bear. And the gym works just doesn't. So I always 01:21:45.140 --> 01:21:46.920 found that very interesting. There's nothing 01:21:46.920 --> 01:21:49.859 that mimics, that will give you the grappling 01:21:49.859 --> 01:21:55.819 strength like a sandbag. Yeah, I agree. So, you 01:21:55.819 --> 01:21:58.680 know, it's been, what, 12 years now? Oh, more 01:21:58.680 --> 01:22:03.079 than that. 2014? Right, so over 10 years doing 01:22:03.079 --> 01:22:06.960 this. And I go back to exactly the exercise I 01:22:06.960 --> 01:22:09.100 thought were the best, starting the whole thing. 01:22:09.630 --> 01:22:13.729 Send bags, rope pull, some heavy carries. This 01:22:13.729 --> 01:22:18.210 is where I'm back. Yeah. And carries over more 01:22:18.210 --> 01:22:20.130 than anything I've ever done. 10 years later, 01:22:20.329 --> 01:22:23.970 it's exactly the exercise I used at first. Exactly 01:22:23.970 --> 01:22:27.920 the same ones. What about the nutrition side? 01:22:28.159 --> 01:22:31.020 I remember one of the most recent ones that we 01:22:31.020 --> 01:22:34.140 had was when you were really kind of diving into 01:22:34.140 --> 01:22:37.699 kind of carbohydrates in the morning prior to 01:22:37.699 --> 01:22:40.300 working out, and then you were leaning into the 01:22:40.300 --> 01:22:42.380 proteins and vegetables in your evening meal. 01:22:42.460 --> 01:22:44.600 Is that something you're still sticking to? Yeah. 01:22:45.220 --> 01:22:48.020 The only thing is when it comes to carbs is I've 01:22:48.020 --> 01:22:50.779 switched to basically fruits and honey, and I've 01:22:50.779 --> 01:22:54.680 taken out the grains completely. And what have 01:22:54.680 --> 01:22:58.869 you noticed from that? It's a very, very different 01:22:58.869 --> 01:23:01.970 type of energy and a much better one, I got to 01:23:01.970 --> 01:23:04.810 tell you. This entire podcast we could do on 01:23:04.810 --> 01:23:06.829 propionate, which is a short -chain fatty acid 01:23:06.829 --> 01:23:11.250 coming from the high -fiber, carbohydrate, stuff 01:23:11.250 --> 01:23:18.430 like that. But there is a threshold to the amount 01:23:18.430 --> 01:23:21.329 of overall carbs you can have. There's a threshold 01:23:21.329 --> 01:23:23.689 of inflammation. There's a threshold when it 01:23:23.689 --> 01:23:26.300 comes to the nervous system and everything. The 01:23:26.300 --> 01:23:28.340 grains, the problem with the grains, I mean the 01:23:28.340 --> 01:23:31.340 rice, the bread, all of that, is that it gets 01:23:31.340 --> 01:23:33.720 you closer to the threshold in a very chronic 01:23:33.720 --> 01:23:37.159 way where you don't necessarily feel, but you're 01:23:37.159 --> 01:23:39.359 very, very close to that. And you add something 01:23:39.359 --> 01:23:41.899 to it, like a sugar or whatever, and boom, inflammation, 01:23:42.159 --> 01:23:44.460 sympathetic response, and the whole stuff. I 01:23:44.460 --> 01:23:46.180 took out the grains because with the fruits and 01:23:46.180 --> 01:23:48.239 the honey, I know exactly where I'm at. The honey 01:23:48.239 --> 01:23:51.060 spikes me. If I abuse it, I stop for one day. 01:23:51.449 --> 01:23:54.630 And then I'm back to my normal. I cannot do that 01:23:54.630 --> 01:23:56.470 with the rice. If the rice takes me too far, 01:23:56.609 --> 01:23:58.970 then it's two, three days of being inflamed, 01:23:59.010 --> 01:24:04.010 aching everywhere, the mood, the thing. Relying 01:24:04.010 --> 01:24:06.470 on grain is dangerous, I would say. And no, you 01:24:06.470 --> 01:24:08.930 can still be big without grain. I'm 240 right 01:24:08.930 --> 01:24:12.430 now. So no, fruits and honey, but it's the same 01:24:12.430 --> 01:24:15.960 thing for my wife. We're fine with that. So we 01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:17.899 could do an entire podcast on that because I 01:24:17.899 --> 01:24:19.340 would like to go into propionate. I don't have 01:24:19.340 --> 01:24:21.079 time right now, but we could go because we've 01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:24.119 been at it already. But we could go into propionate 01:24:24.119 --> 01:24:26.659 and what it means. And there are much deeper 01:24:26.659 --> 01:24:30.340 ideas behind all that. But my overall, I would 01:24:30.340 --> 01:24:33.380 tell you, rely on honey more than you rely on 01:24:33.380 --> 01:24:36.609 grapes, for example. I'm going to be mindful 01:24:36.609 --> 01:24:39.090 of your time then and let you go. For people 01:24:39.090 --> 01:24:41.289 listening, because you said obviously some platforms 01:24:41.289 --> 01:24:43.810 have been shut down or shadow banned. Where are 01:24:43.810 --> 01:24:46.350 the best places to find your work, your videos 01:24:46.350 --> 01:24:49.909 now? I'm only on Instagram now. Honestly, it's 01:24:49.909 --> 01:24:53.789 mostly my wife posting her lifting. I went dark. 01:24:54.470 --> 01:24:58.010 I might come back and do the podcast again because 01:24:58.010 --> 01:24:59.470 I've been thinking about it because I got good 01:24:59.470 --> 01:25:02.710 people asking. I'm going to do an episode probably 01:25:02.710 --> 01:25:04.689 next week where I'm going to explain why I went 01:25:04.689 --> 01:25:06.819 dark. because it's been like two months now at 01:25:06.819 --> 01:25:09.640 least maybe more uh not posting and took out 01:25:09.640 --> 01:25:11.720 everything took out on my podcast to catch everything 01:25:11.720 --> 01:25:16.159 uh so i'll explain why i went dark and why i 01:25:16.159 --> 01:25:18.739 might come back so right now you'll see mostly 01:25:18.739 --> 01:25:21.340 my wife on instagram you might see me back on 01:25:21.340 --> 01:25:24.260 youtube here and there i just the fitness industry 01:25:24.260 --> 01:25:26.380 is not the place i want to associate with right 01:25:26.380 --> 01:25:30.239 now but the grappling scene is so i might come 01:25:30.239 --> 01:25:33.880 back to youtube but like the i want nothing to 01:25:33.880 --> 01:25:37.880 do with With emotional mapping, I want nothing 01:25:37.880 --> 01:25:39.899 to do with all of that bullshit. All the people 01:25:39.899 --> 01:25:42.319 that say they talk for me, they don't. If you 01:25:42.319 --> 01:25:44.600 don't hear it from me, it's not strong faith. 01:25:44.800 --> 01:25:46.960 I want nothing to do with all that crowd, all 01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:49.439 the emotional mapping, all of that. People that 01:25:49.439 --> 01:25:55.039 took my work and made it do something I didn't 01:25:55.039 --> 01:25:58.880 want to decide. So I'm going to do my stuff. 01:25:59.369 --> 01:26:01.270 But I will associate much more with, let's say, 01:26:01.289 --> 01:26:03.170 the martial art world than I will with the fitness 01:26:03.170 --> 01:26:05.489 world in that sense. But I might come back with 01:26:05.489 --> 01:26:07.350 a podcast and stuff like that because I have 01:26:07.350 --> 01:26:10.010 some very cool stuff that we've been playing 01:26:10.010 --> 01:26:13.210 with, with all of that. And going back to that, 01:26:13.289 --> 01:26:16.569 the simple ideas of the beginning actually were 01:26:16.569 --> 01:26:18.909 probably the best ones. I can tell you I should 01:26:18.909 --> 01:26:21.310 have shut the fuck up on a bunch of stuff. And 01:26:21.310 --> 01:26:26.729 my earlier simplest ideas were most likely the 01:26:26.729 --> 01:26:28.680 best ones. Yeah. I mean, that's literally what 01:26:28.680 --> 01:26:30.260 I've been using this whole time and they still 01:26:30.260 --> 01:26:31.939 work. Same with foundation training. I mean, 01:26:31.939 --> 01:26:34.000 I've, I've swear by that. It helped fix my back 01:26:34.000 --> 01:26:36.340 and yours and that were kind of about the same 01:26:36.340 --> 01:26:38.979 time and you know, the old stuff still works. 01:26:39.020 --> 01:26:41.560 So I would love to get you back on when you want 01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:43.500 to take a deep dive into the inflammation and 01:26:43.500 --> 01:26:45.899 the diet and stuff too. But in the meantime, 01:26:46.060 --> 01:26:47.859 I know you got to go. So I want to thank you 01:26:47.859 --> 01:26:50.079 so, so much for being so generous with your time 01:26:50.079 --> 01:26:52.439 and for the sixth time coming on the behind the 01:26:52.439 --> 01:26:54.319 shield podcast. Thanks man.
