5
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:27.839
know. I haven't watch him in
a minute. That's a class I need.

6
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.359
Yeah, I love that, little
Gym says with Scump, I'll love

7
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:32.039
to shake his hand. I mean, he's the king for a reason.

8
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.679
Thank you. Here's the king for
a reason. Lebron was maybe not?

9
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:40.359
Was Lebron was, Oh yeah,
no, definitely not. Yeah, definitely

10
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:44.359
not because Scump's probably what thirty twenty
nine, probably twenty nine thirty, he's

11
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:48.560
probably twenty ten, twenty, twenty
eleven, twenty twelve. Yeah, what

12
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:52.119
Cord really started to crush you internet? Moner War for two, Monal for

13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.679
two two US. Yeah. Then
Black Ops two went off, and it's

14
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.759
definitely definitely Black Ops one, because
very good work for two. After Black

15
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:06.879
Ops one, I think was it
before before? It was right before Black

16
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.319
Ops one was on the internet,
for sure. The real Cord, the

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:15.719
real Cord I was in high school. The first cod ever that was that

18
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.920
went head to head with Halo to
War, Yes, yeah, that went,

19
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.040
yeah, World of War. That
one head to head with Halo too.

20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.799
Halo was the pioneer for everything because
that probably Halo trick shotting all the

21
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:33.280
screaming YouTube clips. Yeah, Halo, the Halo two, even Halo two

22
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:40.680
was, but Halo two was some
of the first console online competitive scene where

23
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.359
PC kind of did it. But
that was like Quake maybe Doom recording.

24
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.239
Yeah, sure, we'll give them
a little video game history. Let him

25
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.760
know that I know knowledge. Yeah, yeah, those are I didn't watch

26
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.719
YouTube. I didn't know it was
a thing in high school. Shot out

27
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.560
Ryan Hega, Yeah, that was
that. That's long, I guess because

28
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.319
it wasn't a thing. YouTube became
a thing in eight Yeah, I graduated.

29
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:07.360
Oh seven, Yeah, I literally
think it became a thing in a

30
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:13.400
weighty six six. Yeah, but
that was the first year. Was like,

31
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.319
they have electricity when you were around. That was good, man,

32
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:21.960
that's really good. I don't know
it. So what like that shows your

33
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.080
lack of history. No, that's
not on me. That's on you now,

34
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.159
Like I know, because you're so
old, like ninety two, do

35
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.039
you know what electricity was invented?
You little dumb shit. Yeah, I

36
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:37.680
know, but like you're that old. No, the Internet. I didn't

37
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.599
have the Internet until like ninety nine. That's that's how you know I'm old.

38
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.280
Damn. Not that the Internet wasn't
out, but we didn't have it.

39
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.400
We didn't have the AO eldest we
did, but in like ninety nine,

40
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.719
that's when. That's when on the
cars came out though with the the

41
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:55.879
middle console phone. Uh no,
that's earlier. But we did have a

42
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.879
car. Yeah, that's what it
was a thing. Yeah, you know

43
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:00.439
I'm old because as a kid.
Yeah, my car had a phone in

44
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.680
it for sure. Tough though.
Yeah. And the Benzes. Not many

45
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.960
cars in the Bends. Yeah.
And the beam yeah we had had we

46
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.919
had We didn't have a Beamer.
We had an Easties Bends with it.

47
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.840
And then maybe my three eighty that
might have been too old. First car

48
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:19.280
was a nineteen eighty three, uh
sl Benz And I don't think that a

49
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.919
phone in eighty three. What was
your first car, Dym. My first

50
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.719
vehicle was a sixty eight Chevy pickup
and then after that I got a should

51
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.479
have kept that thing, I know, seriously, I like I go through

52
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:39.159
for about like rebuying old vehicles that
I that I owned. That that would

53
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.039
be one. Yeah, that would
be sick, that'd be one. I

54
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:46.400
had an after that, I for
years drove a set nineteen seventy four Toyota

55
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:52.719
Corolla and then drive to Yeah there's
a little drift, a little square body.

56
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:57.319
Huh yeah really, I mean everything
about that car was great, except

57
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.840
how fast it went through points,
Like it would burn points so quick,

58
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.680
Like I could uh change and gap
the points in that sucker on the side

59
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.000
of the road with a with a
nail file literally like I did that one

60
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:16.079
time. Shit, probably the right
gap. We're going to do that right

61
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:20.879
now. Uh and with your first
cardue to twenty twenty something. Whoa,

my dad like bought the three eighty.

72
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.600

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:44.319
Yeah, I had a dots and
slash Nissan pickup. Literally it was

79
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.240
mixed badge. That's probably worth money
now too. I wish I still had

80
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:53.240
that. That's all the things that
that I've ever had that I wish I

81
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:58.439
could redbud. I don't gotta miss
beggar. I guess my first car was

82
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.240
actually my dad's friend gave me a
shell of a nineteen sixty Ford F one

83
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.800
hundred. That's a banger too.
It was a shell. It was a

84
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:08.240
shell and then banger. He told
me he was going to build it with

85
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:12.160
me, and Uh, I went
and derusted the whole thing in like sixth

86
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.839
grade. He gave it to me
when I was a kid kid, So

87
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:19.279
I literally by hand and a little
bit electric. Uh sanded the whole bitch

88
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.600
down because it was just like cosmetic, but it was the whole thing frame.

89
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.600
There was no bed. Uh.
And then we're going to start to

90
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.920
work on it, work on the
engine and getting it in there. And

91
00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:31.360
then he had a kid and adopted
a kid, and so he was just

92
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:36.000
too busy. So I can't blame
him that nothing would be fire. Yeah,

93
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.959
I had some banger. Yeah that
was cool. It was cool.

94
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.360
Yeah, you don't really get that
nowadays it's harder, Yeah, because what

95
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.839
are you going to get like a
twenty twelve whatever? Yeah, you know

96
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.040
what I mean. Whatever, kids
in high school like, it's just not

97
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.920
that cool. Yeah, there was. There's a lot more character and cool

98
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:58.000
shit back in the day. No
more tell him Young Gun made the same,

99
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.519
but there is a lot less headaches. Like my like my daily driver

100
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.079
now is at twenty fourteen, and
like I've had no headaches. I don't

101
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:08.759
miss that. Like, my dad
would buy so many cars. At one

102
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.519
point there was four five drivers,
I guess in the house because I think

103
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.319
my grandma's maybe driving when me and
my sister drove version the house and we

104
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.720
had like seven cars because one is
going to break. Yeah, I actually

105
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.439
keep my truck. I keep my
truck just for that reason. Both of

106
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.759
my cars were in the shop last
week at a different times. Yeah,

107
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.600
I think of that. For all, our cars were like thirty years old

108
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.000
and we bought them all for like
under five grand. But at the point

109
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.079
of the first car that was like, it is supposed to be shitty.

110
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:36.040
I know. But the point is, you buy a twenty fifteen whatever,

111
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.240
it's probably gonna be okay. Soft
hands, kids, they got soft hand.

112
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:45.600
Yeah to you, I spent Your
ninety nine CRV has eight hundred thousand

113
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.600
billion miles that's still running. That
didn't happen with my eighty three SCL.

114
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.680
I'm getting jumped on the side of
the road. Brother. There's a lot

115
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.920
of work I put it on that
dan In. It's different. I'm saying.

116
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.279
The kids nowadays barely know how to
change the time. There's not a

117
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.959
carburetor in your CRV. Yeah,
and that'll I'm saying all my cars were

118
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.959
in the eighties. That ship would
explode all the time, overheat. I'd

119
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.720
have to run the heater in the
summer in California, so my card and

120
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:15.279
overheat to try to get that heat
on. Oh my god, I've done

121
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.680
that. Yeah yeah, or I'm
running out of gas or ship's going away.

122
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.480
You got to turn the AC off. First five cars never had a

123
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.600
C. None of my cars had
a C. Nois. Yeah, the

124
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:28.160
character was Yeah, for sure.
I love Nois like jet out. They

125
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.560
got the best first cars gas.
I'm not saying on mind. I'm just

126
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.799
saying, any kid now is the
twenty ten fucking Lexus I s and that

127
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.440
thing's kidded. Yeah, true,
Yeah, that makes sense. It is

128
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.720
different, makes sense, it is
different. You're different. Soft hand culture.

129
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.200
Yeah, ninety nine CRV soft hands, that's the brother was not CRBS

130
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.080
flaring like the highest rated car in
the history of cars. They were awesome.

131
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.159
I remember, Yes, I wanted
one. Yeah, yeah, totally

132
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.039

these people make me feel why two

139
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.240
K nine eleven were crazy. I'm
a kid, and I knew what Y

140
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.279
two K was. That's how crazy
it was. Well, I was fresh

141
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.519
out the womb, so yeah,
yeah, you know, hospital didn't go

142
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:41.519
out with the with all the zeros. Too many zeros on the zeros were

143
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:48.360
worried about too many zeros on the
internet almost killed us. You don't know

144
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.240
that fear for sure. I weren't
staring at the light, just waiting for

145
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:58.080
that clock load. Now I got
the twenty twelve, remember that one in

146
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.600
my calendar whatever whatever you don't even
know is the Mayan calendar? That wasn't

147
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.399
I feel like the fear wasn't there. I don't think it was there.

148
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:09.000
Y two K was legitimate fear.
The news was talking about it like,

149
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:15.919
Hey, the grid's gonna explode,
like grab fucking cereal, Grab cereal and

150
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:24.360
toilet covid is. So the level
of COVID. COVID was crazy because like

151
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.200
I don't know what the right war
would the execution that the aftermath was real

152
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.320
and like white two K. The
fear was that for a month, but

153
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:35.600
then you just didn't have it after
I was like, oh, everything's fine.

154
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.080
Nine eleven, like the repercussions nine
eleven. You literally do see today

155
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.440
that you guys don't even know.
TSA used to be a joke, bro.

156
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.639
Yeah, the high five to you
and you'd walk through. I remember

157
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.600
getting out of the airplane or we
would go to the terminal to because my

158
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.720
dad traveled a lot for work,
to get him walking off the airplane to

159
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.399
welcome him. Right, I mean
you can, like can kind of not

160
00:10:56.559 --> 00:11:01.360
really close, but you can't just
you ain't gonna be home in the same

161
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:05.240
car. You can sometimes because like
some airports still don't check tickets at the

162
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.159
TSA. No they all do.
No, No, they don't. I

163
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.639
travel every week, kid. Uh
if they do, your driver's license and

164
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:18.840
your driver's license connects, so I
don't think they look it up because some

165
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:22.279
places have you scan your your boarding
paths and some don't. Yeah. Well

166
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.679
and here in Sack, it's just
your your D. But I've had my

167
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:35.559
boarding pass checked and sacked too.
It's no because I travel insane amount and

168
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.320
sometimes they'll check it, sometimes they
won't. That's weird, and I think

169
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.080
it's just random because I bet you
you can get in there just on ID

170
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.279
and not have a flight. I
don't know. I bet you can if

171
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.000
it's the right time or I don't
know what their sequencing is. I don't

172
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.000
know. People just don't. But
that used to be the Oh you bring

173
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.279
flowers in a balloon, just straight
up to the thing, they walk out

174
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.799
that ship, you hug them.
You don't know that unless you are one.

175
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.399
I don't remember that shit. I
don't know what this I had topics.

176
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.679
Well, let's let's let's roll one. Then what's the name of the

177
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.360
show again, everybody topic? I
was gonna say fifty percent fact? No

178
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.519
shot? These are these are like
general broad ass shits. Well, you're

179
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:28.440
just gonna give your take or your
experience on Yeah you're first, Oh right

180
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:35.000
now, yeah you ready? Okay? How do you stay motivated consistent anything

181
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.960
in fitness even though life gets busier, challenging times, et cetera. Holidays

182
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.960
are a big one, Like Alan
did a really good post this week on

183
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.600
Alan throw on Tame Strength about like
how many people leave the gym and exactly

184
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.480
why they leave the gym in December, how many people and how that happens

185
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.320
up. His video is actually really
good, although it was so concise about

186
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:58.799
gyms and world and pop in USA
versus small gyms pop world in USA and

187
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:05.080
the trends and how the trends like
hit smaller gyms harder in all the worst

188
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.919
ways. So like you get just
as many people leaving those style gyms in

189
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.240
December just because people travel and they
quit and they're lazy and they go eat

190
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.720
donuts all day. Like us,
how many people join gyms in jan February

191
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.399
doesn't hit us in the positive manner. It's kind of the same, like

192
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.519
our neutrals are more neutral. But
how does that affected you in your times?

193
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.279
You're in school, you've had jobs, you've had a bunch of shit.

194
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.720
To me, it didn't really affect
me that much because I think I

195
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:35.480
always like the gym is like get
away time, a way to treat myself,

196
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.000
and so for me it was like
the escape I needed from like all

197
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:45.600
the hectic life of like annoying family
gifts, all that gym was always there.

198
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:46.960
But so for me, I can't
relate to that, but I can

199
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.000
get why, like school would make
you want to like leave the gym.

200
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.480
It's like, oh, time to
be me. But I guess Jim,

201
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.879
yeah, never had that problem.
I've never really either, to be honest,

202
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.480
I don't think we're the right people
for that one. Yeah. Well,

203
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.879
just like the motivation thing isn't like
a factor to me. You know.

204
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.519
I guess early on maybe it was
because I want to be really good

205
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.799
at basketball. So like I think
if your goals are outside of what you

206
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.679
do and they're like real, then
the motivation might be there. You know,

207
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.399
like young dads or middle aged dads
saying they want to chase their kids

208
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.600
around or something, so the gyms
allows them to do that. So like

209
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:26.000
that motivation is so intrinsic and like
so real. And then cause like just

210
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:31.399
like looking good to like talk to
hot chicks just isn't like deep enough.

211
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.840
I think for any human, I
don't care even if you're a shallow keep

212
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.919
you going. Uh. And for
me, like basketball was like a real

213
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.399
love, so that was easy.
And then beyond that, it's just like

214
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.960
part of my checklist, you know, it's just part of like, yeah,

215
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.480
like I got a shower so my
balls don't stink. I have to

216
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:50.440
work out, so I like I'm
strong, Like you know, like there's

217
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.679
certain shit you have to just do
in a day, whether I got like

218
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:58.000
I've worked for myself now since like
two thousand and nine when I dropped out

219
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:01.039
of school basically, so like checking
my emails every morning and every night is

220
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.799
just what I do. I think
you build like such routine in it,

221
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.039
and even on holidays, although like
it was a little weird in the beginning

222
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:15.080
maybe for me because when I played
basketball even then, because like redding up

223
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:20.600
in November and December, it's all
preseasons, so like we almost always had

224
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.840
a scrimmage or a game two days
or a day after Thanksgiving, so like

225
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.200
I couldn't be too lazy on sports. Yeah, yeah, I'm still gonna

226
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:31.159
I'm still gonna shoot around on a
great Giving songs like oh yeah. And

227
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.960
then now it's it's kind of the
same too, Like I look at like

228
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.919
what gyms are open, what days
in Vegas, because yeah, I'll probably

229
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.039
just wake up and maybe it'll change
the schedule, like I'll work out work

230
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:43.080
out at like eight in the morning
so that I can hang with my mom

231
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:46.720
all Christmas Eve. But it's just
like something I'm getting rid of. Yeah,

232
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.000
I don't know the motivation and stuff, and and life's been busy.

233
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:52.120
It's not like my life ain't busy. Life's been busier or not busier,

234
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.600
and obviously it's around it. So
maybe that makes Maybe that's why it's yeah

235
00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:02.519
for me back back in the day
when I actually had money, nothing motivated

236
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:06.919
to be like, uh, competing, Yeah, not that I was competing

237
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.080
with anybody or a care, just
just being able to put on a good

238
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.840
performance. You know, we guess
what they say, get through the meet,

239
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:17.320
and thats suck. In a previous
podcast, like, yeah, if

240
00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:19.879
you don't put your ass on the
line, you're probably just not going to

241
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.240
do If you don't have like a
set time, a set date for your

242
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.120
goal, you're much less likely to
do it. And that is the beauty

243
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.080
of competing and powerlifting for many,
not necessarily myself, but I've seen it

244
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:36.399
time and time again with thousands of
lifters. Like nervous to be in front

245
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:37.440
of people, although people don't care, you're nervous to be in front of

246
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:41.200
the judges, in front of the
lights and on a platform, so you're

247
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.279
less likely to get like goof off
yeah and miss sessions. Over the past

248
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.360
couple of days, there were a
couple of social media post relative to the

249
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.159
motivation thing, and I did not
really run it down too much. But

250
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.960
a friend, Lane Norton, who
just turned forty two can have your birthday.

251
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:04.119
Lane posted something about a study that
was done about motivation and the conclusion

252
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:10.200
he draw drew from reading whatever part
of it that he read was that external

253
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:15.000
motivation doesn't really do anything. It's
really all about internal And then this other

254
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.640
person that I follow, it's it's
science by J J. A. E

255
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:26.119
Uh. He literally just called out
Lane and said, did you read the

256
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.160
study? Because what the study actually
says, and it's a small it's a

257
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:37.519
small group study. What actually says
is thatvation it may not be like necessary

258
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.559
necessary, but it plays off the
internal motivation. It kicks off the inner

259
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:48.359
the inner motivation. So like if
you like, if you see somebody lift

260
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.000
up up, you know, seven
hundred pounds and you say, oh,

261
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:55.160
I want to do that, you're
motivated by that. Your motivation does and

262
00:17:55.640 --> 00:18:00.519
to prepare themselves for whatever whatever,
or if you're if you have a goals.

263
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:03.920
You see somebody you know, yeah, you have a poster on your

264
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:06.720
wall every day, right, Like
I want to do that, but like

265
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.839
that kicks off, and then your
internal motivation is what keeps you going.

266
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.359
Well, it's all like psychology,
right, and even even in psychologists or

267
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.480
whatever might be offended. But they
call it like a soft science, right

268
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.720
yeah, because you can't like,
yeah, there's studies and there's things that

269
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.480
point at it, but it's not
the same as mixing fucking chloride and water

270
00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:30.240
and seeing what happens and so and
because humans are so complex. Yeah,

271
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:37.640
yeah, if it's a small group
study study my and I love psych like

272
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:38.519
that's what I was going to study
before I dropped out. It is what

273
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.160
I studied before I dropped out.
But you just have to take so much

274
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.400
into the individual, right, and
that's where like self awareness comes in,

275
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.279
because yeah, maybe the masses or
the majority are kind of a trigger of

276
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:52.200
both. But maybe maybe there are
mother I mean there are they're literally dudes

277
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.200
you talk to because my girlfriend broke
up with me, or because I wanted

278
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.920
to date so and so, or
because I like Goku. Uh you know,

279
00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.640
like that's just straight true, Like
people got in Yeah, that got

280
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.880
into fit is just because they want
to be cool like Goku or look like

281
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.759
them, which is obviously pretty external
and shallow and whatever. So it is

282
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:17.160
just a complicated thing. But thing
is just to look in yourself and be

283
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:19.799
real with yourself. What actually does
push you and keep you on on on

284
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.759
log, you know, keep you
locked in because it's just the consistency over

285
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.640
time. And so for me,
it's building routine. But that's a broad
