00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:15.839
Welcome to the hot part of July. It's moving. That's not too bad

2
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.320
though, you know, well,
yeah, I mean right now and I

3
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.320
think ninety seven today, but like
one hundred and eight by the weekend or

4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.039
something like that. Fucking Phoenix Arizona
kind of ship. Yeah, but normally

5
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.960
I feel like May, you know, like we're dying in May because we're

6
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.879
not used to it yet. Yeah, well even then it's like nineties.

7
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.759
But we've had like eighties. Yeah, I know. Yeah, we've had

8
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.799
like an amazing spring. Yeah,
it's been very nice, extended spring.

9
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:43.320
Yeah. That's like the faults or
the negative people say about North Color,

10
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:46.520
Stockermunt in particular. I guess the
whole Central Valley Medesto, Stockton frozeno is

11
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.479
like there's only really two seasons.
Yeah, you get like a pretty cold

12
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:55.039
forties, fifties, some rain,
or you just fucking melt. But we've

13
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:59.200
had a pretty good even even even
fall. I feel like, you know,

14
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:00.520
we had a couple of six seventies
and then it got real wet and

15
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:07.560
yeah, kind of rainy, but
very very wet winter, very very I'll

16
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.799
take a little heat. I don't
really care. I'm not the biggest fan

17
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.000
of heat honestly. Yeah, but
I don't know. I don't really like

18
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.400
cold either. Yeah. I'd like
to find a consistent temperature and just kind

19
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.040
of stay there. That'd be I
mean, that's why LA's La. Yeah,

20
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.799
right, that's why everyone says they
move there. You get seventy year

21
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.200
round, literally, yeah, and
unless you don't, in which case people

22
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:32.239
are really bitch. Yeah when it
gets hot or it gets cold, yeah,

23
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:34.799
or it was super I think they
had a super wet spring, like

24
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.280
wetter than us. Yeah they did. Yeah. I think they even have

25
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:38.959
flooding this year, which is rare. And then it depends where you live,

26
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.760
like La is so big. Yeah, you know, California is way

27
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.079
more giant than everyone listening thinks,
and Las even bigger than you think too.

28
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.000
So yeah, you're overall there on
like Malibu and Santa Monica. Yeah,

29
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.959
it's gonna be seventy five and beautiful
all year. But you go Inland,

30
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.920
it'll get eighties nineties, it'll get
your ass where the Norkel two,

31
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:00.640
Right, you go an hour away
to San Francisco and it's probably sixty to

32
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.480
day. Oh, I'm sure it's
sixty to day. Yeah. We're always

33
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.680
there. Last week and they're pretty
consistent. Yeah, it's cold in the

34
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.919
summer, and it's cold in the
winter. It's cold in the winter,

35
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.080
and spring and fall in the Bay
Area is really the best. Yeah,

36
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.520
I don't even mind. Yeah,
there's summer and I don't really mind that

37
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.560
fag either. Actually, kind of
like the North Held Coast, if you're

38
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.199
prepared for it, it doesn't matter, you know, yeah, like living

39
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.680
in it, and it's not that
wet. Yeah, it's different than like

40
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:32.960
Seattle, which is like it's wet
so much that you it can affect your

41
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:38.439
mood for sure, even Sacramento being
pretty extreme weather's summer winters. I think

42
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.479
it. You don't have to like
change your life, like if you live

43
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.879
in like Michigan, you have to
change your life by season, right,

44
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.520
like your actual wardrobe changes. You
have to get up an hour earlier because

45
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.000
you gotta defroster your car, like
your entire roads closed. Like actually,

46
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:57.719
you know, like you literally your
lives are different from month to month.

47
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.199
Here, I don't feel like I
ride my bike a little more in the

48
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.479
summer, but that's like I'm one
of one. Most people drive off.

49
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.759
Yes, it's like the worst that
it gets during the day. Most of

50
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:12.120
the time in the winter is in
the fifties, fifty five, fifty four

51
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.680
or whatever, mornings are a little
cold. But even then it's like maybe

52
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:17.639
a jacket. Yeah, like someone
just asked about a good company jacket.

53
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:21.479
I don't need to think about jackets
because I wear hoodies. It's a little

54
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:23.520
too warm. Yeah, that that
hoodie that's coming, pretty nice thing.

55
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.000
Yeah. But even in the winter, you know, like the times I

56
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.319
wear a jacket are so rare.
Yeah, Boston. When I travel to

57
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:34.240
Boston or New York, I will
wear one, but it just kind of

58
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.599
I don't know, just layers or
whatever. You know. Yeah, it

59
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.599
was wet, so you got to
wear some ship. Yeah, I'm okay

60
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:43.360
with wearing a hoodie with a with
a you know, kind of a light

61
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.520
rain jacket over it. A lout
of the winter if it's you know,

62
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.319
if it's super windy or whatever.
Yeah, we do have wind. Yes,

63
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.120
Um, this is scintillating part of
the conversation. We're talking about the

64
00:03:53.159 --> 00:04:00.199
weather. That's you know, the
the Fight of the Century, the one

65
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:01.960
it was really good USC card.
I haven't been watching USC as much as

66
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:05.319
I wanted as international fight weeks,
so I tapped in great fights over the

67
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.520
weekend, but the one and it
sounds like it's going to UFC. They

68
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:15.240
have a they have a UFC shirt. The shirt was real. I know

69
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:23.480
the shirt was real. I know
they've talked to Dana Zuckerberg versus Musk into

70
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.879
octagon. That's so crazy. And
they're both training. They're with fucking Lex

71
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:32.240
Friedman and they're with GSP and they're
running around. But what's funny to me,

72
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.720
I mean, it's not that funny, But what's interesting to me is

73
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:41.000
that they automatically, like jiu jitsu
is so popular on the internet, Like

74
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:45.639
it's so trendy that they're both just
doing jiu jitsu where like, and it's

75
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.319
mixed martial arts. Yeah, and
obviously you need jiu jitsu, but like

76
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.040
fights, you know, or a
lot there's a lot of stand up in

77
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.399
the UFC now, so like and
if yeah, if if I'm more athletic,

78
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.759
which I don't know who's more athletic, but all off the rip,

79
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.839
it's probably the robot. It's probably
zuck Yeah, you know, Elon just

80
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:06.800
I don't know, man, he
moves really gangly, like he just looks

81
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.920
like a sack of potatoes and so
like, and not that zucks some fucking

82
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.199
models, is you know Zuck literally
is uh Star Trek? Fucking Who's Star

83
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.800
Trek? That smart dude Sea.
There's more data that either one. He's

84
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:24.920
just some fucking robot and out of
space. Yeah, but he uh,

85
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.120
he already knows some jiu jitsu.
Yeah, so if I'm him, I

86
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.600
mean obviously and maybe not obviously,
but in my opinion, neither of these

87
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:36.040
guys are primo athletes. But no, but if I already know some jiu

88
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.879
jitsu, yeah, I'm just practicing
punching motherfuckers. I'm just gonna. I'm

89
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.519
gonna. And if they actually hate
each other, which it seems like they

90
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.120
really don't like each other, yeah, I'm trying to knock a dude out.

91
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.839
Yeah, I'm I'm fucking working on
my hook and I'm gonna knock the

92
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.319
fuck out of Elon. I don't
really like that them either, one of

93
00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.480
them that much. No, I
mean either. I am cheering for Zuck

94
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.000
just because it's so funny, you
know, like his his barbecue videos.

95
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.920
There's just something more funny about him. Although I just see Jesse Eisenberg every

96
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:06.800
time I look at him from social
network. That's that's all I ever see.

97
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.879
Yeah, he played that real pretty
good. I take that movie as

98
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.920
gospel, even though I know it's
not. Yeah there, yeah, it

99
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.759
probably is. It's probably close.
Uh yeah. They both kind of suck

100
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.680
then once you unravel the dark the
layers. I think they're both darker than

101
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.040
we want to admit to. You
know, everyone kind of sees it was

102
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.680
duck, but people don't see it. Yeah with Elon, but they will

103
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.920
in like five years, just like
how corrupt they probably both are. Oh,

104
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.199
I think people see it really people
love Elon? No, I think,

105
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:35.920
well, I mean people do.
Yeah, for sure. There are

106
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:41.240
definitely stands out there for him,
but there's a shit tone, yeah,

107
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:44.720
but there are. I mean a
lot of people know that he didn't really

108
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:49.399
start Tesla, yeah, I mean
he he essentially bought Tesla. A lot

109
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:54.360
of Tesla's development that's been off of
the back of government funding, yeah,

110
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.319
of course. Yeah, and even
SpaceX right, it's always yeah, it's

111
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.959
always partner of in that stuff there. Tesla's funny, Like I don't think

112
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.720
I've talked about on the thing,
but like I remember hearing about Tesla and

113
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.399
like, oh five my best friend's
dad, oh five, oh six,

114
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.240
my best friend's dad was a financial
guy. I made pretty good money,

115
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:15.240
and I don't know why I didn't. I knew he was into cars,

116
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.160
but I didn't know. I don't
know. I'm fucking fifteen. I don't

117
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.160
know anything. But I go into
his office. I basually lived at their

118
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.199
houses on the weekend, and he's
got all his monitors and ship and he's

119
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.680
like work on one. He's like, Mikey, like, look at this.

120
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.240
And it was like the first roadster
they're making, like all drawn,

121
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:34.279
you know, it was just like
teasing what's coming. He's like, dude,

122
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.879
we're going electric. I'm putting my
name in. I'm buying this thing.

123
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.439
Look how fast it is? Like
yeah, because when the first roadstery

124
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.480
it was like one hundred k or
something. It was like a straight sports

125
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.360
car. He's like, yeah,
we're gonna get that. I don't think

126
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.920
he ever got it, but I
remember hearing it back about it. Back

127
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.560
then, I was like, oh, that's so weird. And then now

128
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:55.800
you hear about a new fucking electric
thing every weekend. Yeah. Yeah,

129
00:07:55.839 --> 00:07:59.079
we're kind of living in that time
for sure, but not a lot to

130
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.160
fruition. Where's my truck? You're
cybertruck? I didn't buy it, all

131
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.720
got duped. Man. I remember
every friend of mine's like, yeah,

132
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.000
I threw one hundred and fifty out
of them, say goodbye to that.

133
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.040
Yeah that was like five years ago. Yeah, and he said it's coming

134
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.439
out in a year. Yeah,
reserve your tesla. That's got to be

135
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.680
like suable. Well, I mean
Microsoft used to do that with software that

136
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:26.319
they didn't really anymore, but it
would never come out. Uh yeah,

137
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.680
yeah that sucks. People suck.
Yeah. It's called vaporware. Yeah,

138
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.600
where you you promote something that doesn't
exist yet and people buy into it.

139
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.360
I understand that. Like, but
if it can, it's got a calm

140
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.159
Yeah, eventually. But I mean
a lot of the ways that Microsoft solved

141
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.639
that you know sort of thing was
by buying companies that were already doing it

142
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.240
and then just absorbing them. Yeah, which makes sense when you got that

143
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.840
much money. But I would like
to wash out fight. And it also

144
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.159
made me think of we talked about
it a couple times here, like the

145
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.759
world we're living in is idiocracy and
also like non conspiratorial. But you guys

146
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:03.919
can take it how you want,
like like media of the past foreshadows our

147
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:09.240
future, and you remember MTV Celebrity
Deathmatch. Oh yeah, do you remember

148
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.320
that. So there's a show on
MTV that they had, like Claymation,

149
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.559
shitty Claymation, and they would have
these celebrities fight each other, right,

150
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.399
and they would be Eminem versus Britney
Spears and they'd wrestle in like a WWE

151
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.600
ring. Wow, that shit's fucking
happening like it happened in YouTube, right,

152
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.120
That's right, that's like the B
League. No one really knows.

153
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.840
Mainstream doesn't care because it's like a
couple of big name YouTubers, but most

154
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.639
of them are just like mid level
to higher level YouTubers, which the world

155
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.840
doesn't know. A year later,
we got fucking Elong and and Zuck.

156
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.759
We even had like sports guys do
it right, like a frank, gorgeous

157
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.879
boxed Adrian Peterson, I think,
you know. And they don't have as

158
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:48.559
much hype because they also missed the
Internet generation by a little bit. You

159
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.879
know, they're more popular in the
early two thousands. They missed like the

160
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.080
not the Internet, but the social
media, so their popularity isn't as big.

161
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.840
But there's another thing, dude,
The Internet so fucked. I don't

162
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.960
know what's real or not is Tom
Brady dating a Kardashian. Oh, I

163
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.080
have no idea. That's a good
question, and then shout out to my

164
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:11.919
boy, Hayden Schneider a lonnie many
of you might know, just did a

165
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.159
gig with Kim Kardashian and I saw
a lot of controversy on it. Yea,

166
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.879
I saw that too. The fuck
your controversy, man, Like,

167
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.120
I'm not a business as business guy, but like, if you have the

168
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:28.600
opportunity to partner with the most famous
person walking the planet or at least top

169
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.600
five, and you successfully do that, give a man as Rosman, shout

170
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:35.480
out to Hayden, shout out to
his wife, shout out to a Lonnie,

171
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.399
Like, that's so awesome to see
someone come from what we do.

172
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:46.120
She was a instagrammer to now partnering
with the biggest celebrity on the planet through

173
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.120
a supplement company that is crushing it. And I give them all the props.

174
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.440
That doesn't just happen, you know. People are like I saw like

175
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.320
a whole Twitter thread like, oh
they should have chosen this person or that.

176
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:00.919
Fuck you. You go start your
company and you partner whoever you want,

177
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.399
you know, like it's just it's
just so common, like the punching

178
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.559
up or whatever. You know,
here's my thought on it. If somebody

179
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:16.399
is like like truly a terrible,
terrible person, regardless of their celebrity,

180
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.360
maybe don't partner with them. But
the Kardashians are just annoying. Yeah,

181
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.120
she's not a murderer, and um, they didn't do an O. J.

182
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.919
Simpson drink. No, the chance
that of to the chance that you

183
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.240
would get to see the inside of
that ship, yeah, like how her

184
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:39.600
operation functions, and you know,
like how how you would be able to

185
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:43.399
tell how on top of it she
is and how much of it is is

186
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.000
is designated to other people, you
know, all that stuff you would you

187
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.759
would see that you have just the
insight that you get from that would totally

188
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.120
be worth the experience that too.
And to me, it's like you don't

189
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.799
get that opportunity unless you already set
your table. So for me, it's

190
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.720
like more props to recognize that they've
earned that. Yeah, Kim Kardashian is

191
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.080
a knocking on our door, right, there's no way to make that happen,

192
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.360
even if we had right now a
billion dollars to say, hey,

193
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:13.840
Kim, shout out our hat that's
not happening. You have to you have

194
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.720
to build your house. And they
built a Lonnie to such a level that

195
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:20.960
her or her people recognize that this
is a possible partnership, you know what

196
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.080
I mean. That's where I give
the props, like the actual partnership.

197
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.120
Whether it makes money or not,
I don't know. I don't care.

198
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.919
But like you've built something to the
highest level of business in the world.

199
00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:37.200
Yeah, if you're getting somebody of
that nature to recognize you, yeah,

200
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.840
no for sure. And I don't
Yeah, I don't know how you say

201
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:43.960
no to that. Yeah, people
like she doesn't lift and all that.

202
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.639
I'm like, that's fine, Like
obviously, like Hayden's a big meat head

203
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.039
and Katie comes from the finite background
and but like that doesn't mean every single

204
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:58.159
person, like you sponsor. Every
company now has a variety of models in

205
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.840
our space, you know, whether
it's big small company, apparel companies,

206
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.639
they use different models that look like
they lift, that don't look like they

207
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.600
lift. Not everybody's a bodybuilder,
and if you want to be successful,

208
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:16.279
you have to try new things.
And then also like if it's cool,

209
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.440
like if if I don't know how
to say it, but like that's just

210
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.120
I think it's just pure hate.
Rade. I think it's just pure I

211
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.360
think that that's true because if it
was you, you'd be about it,

212
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.039
right, You'd be like, dude, I'm working with the Kardashians, Like

213
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.440
yeah, that's fucking cool. Yeah, Like like why wouldn't you. Yeah.

214
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.320
The other thing too, is that
I mean the people who are making

215
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:41.120
this commentary don't know how difficult collaborations
actually are to pull off or period the

216
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.679
business. They're probably not running a
business. Anyone who's running a business is

217
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.039
giving them props. Yeah, it's
everyone who's like sponsored by people or you

218
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.360
know, I don't think it was
here. There's someone weird interview, but

219
00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.399
they're basically like I think it was. It might have been Shali, but

220
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.080
he was like yeah, like I
don't want to be sponsored anymore. I

221
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.559
want to be the guy sponsoring people. Like that's always the answer. That's

222
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.360
the thing I don't understand about some
of you know, some of the higher

223
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:13.039
mid level, lower upper level influencer
types who have their own businesses but also

224
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.360
takes take sponsorships. To me,
it's like if you put a trailer for

225
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:24.159
your movie on YouTube, but you
monetize it like, that's that seems like

226
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:30.080
a hat on a hat, you're
double dipping their I think, at least

227
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:33.159
from like my point of view,
I would do it if it's a product

228
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.679
I truly believe in that I'll never
bake, you know, like a food

229
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.279
one or something, or maybe not
never might because you never know what the

230
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.200
fuck I'm gonna do. Or two
it's the support of homie. Yeah,

231
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.000
and so I know a lot of
my friends are like that. You know,

232
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:48.159
like Guzman I think is still sponsored
by Ghost but he's friends with owners,

233
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.639
you know, so like I think
that's cool. Um, but I

234
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.559
agree, I agree, it's kind
of like to me, it's more though,

235
00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:00.120
like the mid level people that don't
have businesses, that haven't even like

236
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.120
and this is no insult. Everyone's
on their own path and takes their own

237
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:05.279
time, but they haven't even opened
their brain to be like, oh,

238
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:11.200
I'm like being sponsored only like go
build some shit. Yeah you know that's

239
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.240
kind of like, and build like
your own shit, don't just do what

240
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.679
everyone else is doing. Yeah,
for sure? The um what was I

241
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:26.440
gonna say? I think that the
thing that surprises me is that even in

242
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:33.639
this age with social media being what
roughly twenty roughly twenty years old now something

243
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.240
like that. Yeah, I mean
YouTube's oh seven, yeah, my Space

244
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.759
is fifteen plus yeah, now probably
twenty because my Space, I guess would

245
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.440
be the first one ever, right
or AOL messenger that it's still such a

246
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.360
sport to tear people down. Yeah, yeah, you would think, which

247
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.639
is one of our topic one want
to dive into, Like Twitter threads,

248
00:15:54.519 --> 00:16:02.679
debate the threads thing. Someone said
it right now, they're like, threads

249
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:08.360
right now is is culture in humor
and Twitter is news. And they said

250
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:11.639
something else. I was like,
all right, it is kind of like

251
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.360
that right now. And obviously when
you bring news, you bring politics,

252
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.320
and it's going to be a little
more clashy on Twitter where so far,

253
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.639
even though some people respond to me
kind of fucking hot for no reason,

254
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.759
Like I had a couple of tweets
that or threads or whatever the fuck they're

255
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.519
called. I think, yeah,
I had a couple of threads that just

256
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.399
like got a little bit of traction. So people that don't know what I

257
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.360
am or what I do saw it
and commented back and they just came in

258
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.080
hot. And I'm like, and
I'm if anyone follows me on any social

259
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.159
media. I'm not throwing out real
shit, you know, Like today I

260
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.039
talked about low socks. You know, I'm talking about nothing, like I'm

261
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.840
fucking talking about trash. The other
one I was talking about I was hating.

262
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:51.519
I was hating, but in the
form of comedy because the term unhinged

263
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:56.840
is being used a lot. And
then every woman from Instagram, men too,

264
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.360
but mostly women sorry ladies, came
out saying like, oh, you

265
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.879
guys are done now, like I'm
unhinged on threads and then I read their

266
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:07.000
threads and they're talking about They're talking
about their law taste, and I'm like,

267
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:08.319
well, yeah, or like,
you guys are going to see the

268
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.400
real personality and then there's no personality. So like I threw some shit at

269
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:17.160
that out and someone came in hot
about that, but it was like a

270
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.680
dude coming at me. I don't
know. But long story short, I

271
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:26.960
thought Threads may stay tame and cultural
and more pocket one because our niche is

272
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.920
already built out because of Instagram.
Instagram. Yeah, so you're tied into

273
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:36.039
your niche already rather than Twitter.
Even my Twitter's all over the place.

274
00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:38.359
Most I do the for you mostly, and it's no one I know which

275
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:41.359
I like and don't like. But
then the other thing is that your your

276
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:47.640
life and identities tied to threads.
Yeah, I clickly click that Instagram and

277
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.759
I'll see you're a fucking bitch and
you're fucking coming at me, you know,

278
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.880
and you're fucking coming about my dead
listening. It's like Instagram, but

279
00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:59.279
Instagram's fucked up too. There's trolls
there and I can clearly you know,

280
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:02.160
they're talking on my deadlift and I
click on the page. They don't know

281
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:06.400
how the deadlift. So like,
obviously, because everyone says that's the issue

282
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.079
of the internet, right, it
is like no one's been punched in the

283
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.160
face for doing the wrong thing,
and like you wouldn't talk to me in

284
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:17.319
person this way and being anonymous and
all these things. But now in the

285
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:22.160
Internet age, there's levels anonymous.
There's face to face. Obviously you're not

286
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:27.240
anonymous, but like even Instagram is
like a middle level level of anonymous because

287
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:32.279
I'll do a Q and a where
I can see your fucking profile and people

288
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.440
ask very typical shit, Mike,
my deadlist stuck and my bench this and

289
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:40.359
how do you open a gym?
And then I'll do the anonymous one where

290
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:44.599
I literally can't see who's asking the
question, and there's way more questions and

291
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.880
everything's fucking talk about unhinged, it
actually gets unhinged. I've never done on

292
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.000
those probably for that reason. Yeah, it gets crazy, it gets crazy,

293
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.720
and like it's fun. Obviously it's
funny. But yeah, they're what

294
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.200
you would say on your Instagram.
You would, for sure. I'll not

295
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.920
tell me in person. Yeah,
you know, but I can still see

296
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.799
you, like I see your fucking
face, you know, right or not?

297
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:10.440
They're not always private profiles or your
picture yeah, or a picture yeah,

298
00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:11.799
yeah, I know something about you, and a lot of them are

299
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.720
public profiles, so I can score
around, like I see your wife,

300
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:18.319
I see your fucking kids. Keep
talking shit. Yeah, I don't know

301
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.400
people I don't know. I think
that it's been proven too that there are

302
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.039
ways to engage for those people that
actually get them on your side and they're

303
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.359
like more for you than they were
ever against you. Yeah they're yeah,

304
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:33.599
they're just they're lost in the sauce. For sure. I do try to

305
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:40.119
be nice. But did you know
that Threads was coming? Do you know

306
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:41.720
anything about it at all? Ahead
of time? I read about it a

307
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.160
couple months ago, but it was
I thought it was gonna be the Tesla

308
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.000
truck. I thought would come out
in like five years. I think maybe

309
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:52.759
I just sort of glancing blow on
that information at some point but didn't really

310
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:56.200
know. And then yeah, I
didn't dive into it. I just saw

311
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.839
a thing that Instagram or Zuck was
making a Twitter competitor, but but everyone

312
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.839
was and they don't give like good
timelines, so I didn't expect it just

313
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.799
roll out. And then yeah,
I think the day of I signed up,

314
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:17.640
I happen to see in um in
my Instagram notifications that somebody that I

315
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:21.759
follow had posted for the first time
on threads. I'm like, what the

316
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:25.319
fuck is threads? So I google
it and I and I see what the

317
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.880
story is, and there's like how
to how to actually get onto threads since

318
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:32.759
I just did it, and I
I think I have the lowest Threads number

319
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.240
of anybody that I personally know.
It's like one hundred and thirties thousands something

320
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.440
like that, and there's like one
hundred billion now oh people. Yes,

321
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:41.559
yeah, as a couple of days
ago, I don't know where it is

322
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:45.640
now. Yeah, the number when
you sign up is that the number that's

323
00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.880
like codd on me. That's a
little futuristic. So go to your Instagram.

324
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:53.160
I'm a million, you think think
like four or five. Yeah,

325
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:57.000
I'm a million. I'm a million, one hundred thou I'm eleven eleven eight

326
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.240
seven, four to seven six.
Yeah. See, now we're getting into

327
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.440
some sci fi movies where that's gonna
be tatted on my forehead probably. Yeah,

328
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:07.559
yeah, you know, Zuck might
do that himself. Might just come

329
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:11.200
in and and the overard session with
you and just oh roll was Zuck.

330
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:15.400
Yeah, it's all right, Where
did it go? Where's my number?

331
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:29.960
This is great radio right here?
Why is it not showing up? Uh?

332
00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:33.640
Oh here it is one hundred and
sixty eighty ninety one. I was

333
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.119
pretty good. Yeah, I don't
know who I saw, but yeah,

334
00:21:37.160 --> 00:21:38.480
someone hit me up and then and
then it was weird though, because you

335
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:41.160
go to the appy type in threads
and it's not threads. It probably is

336
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:45.079
now, but when I did it, it was some other threads. Yeah,

337
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.359
there's another, definitely another. Yeah, but that was at the top.

338
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.799
Oh yeah, yeah for sure.
Now I'm sure the one. Yeah,

339
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.559
for sure. I think it's cool. It's fun so far. There's

340
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.839
it's literally but what I don't like
is in the middle of that, and

341
00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.480
I guess it probably is smart,
but in the middle of the change,

342
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:03.079
they mess with stuff on Instagram and
automatically mess with stuff there, So like

343
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:07.640
everything's a little weird, you know. Yeah, we're some things you expected

344
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:14.039
just automatically transfer because it's it's literally
an Instagram version of Twitter. That's like

345
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:15.559
if you're trying to figure out how
to use it, that's literally what it

346
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.480
is. Yeah, but there's features
that happen on Instagram that don't happen there

347
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:22.319
that should So I think they just
changed it today. But like you would

348
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.119
click I would have a bunch a
gathering of followers, and so it just

349
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:29.880
says like five people followed you and
just yea, and so you click on

350
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.680
that and expecting to see a list
of just those people you weren't getting.

351
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:34.759
Yeah, we're on Instagram. That
obviously happens. And I think it happens

352
00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:37.680
now or now they're doing like one
by ones unless it happens real fast.

353
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.480
Yeah, it's definitely one by ones
now because I don't think it's I don't

354
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.079
think that followers are coming over as
fast as they were. Yeah, people

355
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.759
aren't adopting it as quickly as they
were the first few days. Yeah.

356
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:52.720
The other thing I just noticed yesterday
is that Instagram changed back how you share

357
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:56.039
stuff. Yeah, because it used
to be that it was all on the

358
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.279
little paper airplane again. I mean
it moved down there and now it's if

359
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:04.079
you're if you're trying to share outside
of Instagram, then it's back up to

360
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.039
the three dots again. Yeah,
yeah, which is like fine. It

361
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.519
is weird how they're all starting to
become the same, which is good though,

362
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:15.799
Like the more sharing is a normal
button, yeah, like give you

363
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:18.119
that arrow buttons kind of new the
scheme of the internet, yeah, you

364
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.920
know, and so like that's all
good. Yeah, I'm having fun so

365
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.920
far. It's actually a decent mix
of algorithms so far from me too,

366
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:30.200
where I get some people I followed
for sure, some I don't. The

367
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.359
surprise to me is the people that
I've followed for a long time who were

368
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:37.200
not showing up through my Instagram are
now showing up in threats. Yeah,

369
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.880
because the algorithm on Instagram is so
heavy, right, Like if you don't

370
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.839
interact with a post, they might
just disappear on your ass, yeah,

371
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:47.599
which is good and bad. And
then obviously we've been on there for so

372
00:23:47.640 --> 00:23:52.000
long that it comes in waves of
who's active and not. Then it all

373
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.000
ties in algorithms are getting strong,
and I don't know if that's good culturally,

374
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.519
um for the world or brains the
other day that I thought it was

375
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.720
a pretty good observation that, like, it's not good for the world if

376
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:10.720
Twitter just becomes a total right wing
thing and and and Threads becomes more of

377
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.640
a left wing thing. I literally
click on it, and I go on

378
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.680
Twitter and people are making fun of
Elon or sorry, making fun of Zuck.

379
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.519
And then I go on Threads and
people are making fun of Elon,

380
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:21.359
right, you know, and so
like that's like the bare bones, but

381
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:23.079
that's where we're headed. But yeah, but it really should be about what

382
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:27.119
the product is and not not not
the people, unless unless you feel like

383
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.160
that you know, it's ill gotten
gains or whatever. There's some of that

384
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:33.799
for sure. But Elon's obviously a
little bit more vocal about some of his

385
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:40.039
beliefs, and he's trolls all over
Twitter, so like, is that hair

386
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.759
of truth when he trolls? You
know, so you can never know because

387
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.279
he's a weird fuck. And then
Zuck obviously has been caught up in some

388
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.759
political things with the whole Facebook stuff, so you never know. So we're

389
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.079
already, like you said, yeah, the product and people already niche them

390
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.640
into their political views, whether they've
never come out and say it like hey,

391
00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:57.920
this is my political view on this
and that and that. But the

392
00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:02.160
world has. But he's changed,
yeah, a bunch. He used to

393
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:07.119
be more more kind of libertarian,
a little more left leaning, a little

394
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.960
more a little European, and which
he is now he's moved. Yeah,

395
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:15.400
he's not really, he's African.
But still. Yeah, you were reading

396
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.079
their book or was it my mom? Your mom? Yeah, because she

397
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.079
said they basically didn't have a home, that his dad was a pilot.

398
00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.400
I think, oh yeah, they
just like flew family. Just the family

399
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:27.559
would fly all over everywhere. His
entire life beside the point his mom is

400
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.839
scary, by the way, Yeah, I think the whole all of them

401
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:32.759
are weird. I mean, anybody
at that level is a fucking weirdo.

402
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:33.960
And that's what the point is,
right, Like everyone knows you talked.

403
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.079
If I like wanted to run a
semi manipulative interview, you know how they

404
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:42.839
do on the streets on TikTok.
Hey do you think most CEOs are crazy

405
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:47.200
and narcissistic? Oh? Yeah,
I've heard studies they're all crazy. I'm

406
00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:48.200
like, oh, you know.
And then I'll ask a few more questions.

407
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:49.680
I'll say, hey, what do
you think about Elon? Oh?

408
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:52.200
I love Elon? Or what you
know? Like, no, bitch,

409
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.319
he's crazy too, you know,
Like why do you think just him because

410
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.240
he has like a little bit he's
tapped into the internet culture, which he

411
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.720
is. He's good at that.
He's a great marketer, right, So,

412
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.079
like just because you think he's kind
of funny and entertaining, all of

413
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:07.799
a sudden, now he's not a
crazy person. What about the Rock?

414
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:11.640
That could just fucking crazy person.
By the way, I don't know if

415
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.559
I brought this up either. My
memory is shot. I'm diving pretty hard

416
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:18.759
right now. My shit's fucked.
Uh. I think the Rock, I

417
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:21.799
think we switched the stone on the
Rock. No pun. I think the

418
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:25.119
world don't like him anymore. I
think that's generally true. I love that.

419
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:27.200
I love that I've been leaning the
way I've been on that train for

420
00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.319
ten years. The world don't like
him nowhere. They think he's corny.

421
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.039
Finally, but I feel like,
but two years ago everyone was but I'm

422
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.759
sucking at stones. If you think
about it, is his whole bit,

423
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:44.640
his whole esthetic was born out of
wrestling about professional wrestling. Oh yeah,

424
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:47.279
he's so it's all a bit.
Yeah he's never been Dwayne Johnson. Yeah

425
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.000
he's still been the roll give Yeah. I don't know where I was heading

426
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.160
with that either, but so Elon's
good at that. They're all fucked.

427
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.200
The left leaning right leaning for sure, can turn into platforms, which is

428
00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:03.559
already happening. Um Rumble is catching
some some momentum, and they're just a

429
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:08.000
looser YouTube right, So some like
kids are going there to put their content

430
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:15.160
because they can get away with more. But also more republican or right leaning

431
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:22.720
news and content creators are there versus
YouTube right, which may not they each

432
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.640
allow different shit. And then besides
politics, I don't even think algorithms in

433
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:36.759
the long term are healthy because it
it forces the human to find an identity

434
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:40.720
with like an interest. Yeah,
and so like just because you have an

435
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:42.920
interest doesn't mean it has to be
your identity. But you start to do

436
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:47.720
that either as a creator or a
consumer. Oh, I'm a Max Tuning

437
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.680
fan. I'm a Guzman fan and
Guzman likes this, this and this,

438
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:52.799
so I like this, this and
this, and then it just separates us

439
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:56.480
as humans even more. And it's
natural, I think, because we're trying

440
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:02.400
to find community online. But there's
a fine line of that, you know,

441
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.720
And I think it's it's already showing
with how separated we are as a

442
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.440
country and even as a world the
world. Bring the world together is gonna

443
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.920
be a tough issue, but we
could definitely bring each other together as a

444
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:15.799
country maybe or a state or a
city or something. But we're just lacking

445
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.839
so much community, and these people
are lacking so much identity because it's so

446
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:27.400
tied to one or two singular nonsense, you know, where the and then

447
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:33.240
and then it's positively reinforced by what
we consume, and it's positively reinforced as

448
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:37.440
a creator and a consumer, and
people seek out the things that agree with

449
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.720
them and of course try to avoid
the things that don't, and if they

450
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:45.400
do, the count of the things
they don't agree with goes back to they

451
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.599
tear it apart. Yeah, And
I've said that's for a long time.

452
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.680
And you know, I say I'm
not political, but I am very interested

453
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.559
at all and how people think and
how the world works. But I listen

454
00:28:55.599 --> 00:29:00.440
to a pretty right leaning radio and
podcasts, and I watch pretty left leaning

455
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.680
YouTube and twitch Like I think that's
the only way so you can actually think

456
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.480
for yourself rather than yeah, diving
into your algorithm, because as soon as

457
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:10.839
you like one thing on one side, it's going to dive you in deeper.

458
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:14.799
Or even like in politics, obviously
you're huge and it is so hot,

459
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:18.240
but like even with fucking bodybuilding versus
powerlifting or whatever it is, the

460
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.599
algorithms are so strong. You like
the wrong thing or watch them the wrong

461
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.599
thing for three seconds, your whole
feed is going to be there. And

462
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.200
so it's like almost and I do
agree with individual responsibility, but like we

463
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.440
have to start to like wake up
a little bit and start to realize what

464
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:36.200
we're consuming. And everyone says that, like, I can you know,

465
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:40.039
consume positive shit. I don't necessarily
think you only have to watch the puppy

466
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:41.680
videos, you know, we can
be real, but I do think you

467
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:48.880
need to watch a variety of things
so you can kind of actually think for

468
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.319
yourself for once. Thinking about the
format, it's kind of seemed to me

469
00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:59.519
that with this thing just keeps falling
down. Pardon the noises I'm gonna make

470
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:07.960
right now. Um, that sort
of helped Twitter. I don't think Twitter

471
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:14.519
was really great for fitness influencers.
I think that it's only the info influencers

472
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:17.839
that that Twitter really worked for.
Even that, I don't think anyone like

473
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:22.200
grew grew there. I don't think
so either. Um, sports news,

474
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:27.720
yeah, sports news, personalities yeah, comedians, comedians, mental health more.

475
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:32.559
Yeah, but it kind of it
definitely does feel sports news when I

476
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:37.839
think of Yeah, yeah, me
too. Um, Instagram definitely, you

477
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:42.079
know, fed the influencer thing,
cars, fitness, yeah, travel,

478
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:47.039
yeah, right, like all the
beautiful fucking landscapes you see in Hawaii or

479
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:48.319
whatever the fuck. Those are kind
of the three that pop up my head.

480
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:52.960
For instance, watches pictures period.
Yeah, not anymore, sadly,

481
00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:56.799
but yeah yeah, um yeah.
In the beginning, it was very yeah

482
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:02.079
yeah, luxury shit, cool life
shit. And I mean TikTok. Everybody

483
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:07.839
talks about that as being um a
short firm inflammation information platform. Yeah,

484
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:15.039
and for good and ill. Some
people have decent additions to the world and

485
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:21.880
other people don't have decent additions to
world. TikTok honestly might be the most

486
00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:26.960
variety that had success. Maybe because
there's some conspiracy shit that goes crazy,

487
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:30.119
there's political shit that goes crazy.
Uh, it is literal just clips of

488
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:34.039
life, right, you get you
get the too long, did not read

489
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.319
version of anything in the world.
Um, so that's fitness too long,

490
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:41.880
did not read the political too long, did not read the fashion too long,

491
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.920
did not read the animal stuff,
Discovery channel type shit. Um,

492
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:52.759
TikTok. Probably I think had And
I'm this is one hundred percent just an

493
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.440
observation, but I bet you if
they broke down the numbers, it had

494
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.079
the most like viral following, most
people built a career or whatever it is

495
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:07.160
in the most variety of shit.
Probably so, And like YouTube isn't one

496
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.359
thing. Yeah, YouTube would probably
number two to TikTok. Yeah, YouTube

497
00:32:10.480 --> 00:32:15.000
is definitely not one thing because there
are plenty of people who and it's algorithm

498
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:17.759
based, but it's also just interested
in what people search for too. Yeah,

499
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:22.440
Like you want to see this stuff
that you're you're actually interested in,

500
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.279
and the trends trends changed. They're
a bunch of two. Right in the

501
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:28.119
beginning, it might have been it
might have been more how two's yeah,

502
00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:30.359
ton of how to ship ton of
music. But now you're right, you

503
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:37.079
can literally probably find anything from political
talk shows fully produced fucking you know TV

504
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:42.759
shows. Mister beasts shows are TV
shows. Mister best shows are better than

505
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.200
Survivor on YouTube or on real TV, which is crazy, you know,

506
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:51.039
And he puts the money into it's
you know, he has seven figure budgets

507
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:54.240
on these things. Yeah. Um, we recently got caught up, not

508
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:58.720
in an algorithm, but in some
I don't know exactly what it was,

509
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:01.160
but some episode that we did I
remember which one it was, I couldn't

510
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:05.039
be monetized. It was something that
was uploaded for a couple of weeks before

511
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:07.079
we released it, and they must
have scanned the thing a bunch of times

512
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.880
and they decided that something was offensive
about it, and so it couldn't be

513
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:13.880
monetized. And I never figured out
what the hell it was. Yeah.

514
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.279
I just saw Max Tuning speak about
the I was just joking about it before,

515
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:22.319
but he was getting angry and bitter
on Twitter at YouTube for reviewing his

516
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:25.599
podcast, where I think he's like, dude, we talked about like nothing.

517
00:33:25.839 --> 00:33:30.640
Yeah, and yeah they ripped it
down and that's another rip down.

518
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:34.160
Yeah, I think because it's so
you know, there's so much there's so

519
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:38.119
much info on YouTube that is obviously
a bot of some nature doing this.

520
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:44.640
It's not individually being watched every video, right that that's again another reason why

521
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:46.319
people are You can call it whatever
you want, but they are calling it,

522
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:49.559
you know, freedom of speech,
which isn't the same thing. But

523
00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:52.119
that's why they're going to rumble.
And I do understand, right, like,

524
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:59.440
if your content is controversial, you
still want to make it, you

525
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:01.880
know, like is it dangerous?
Maybe some but maybe not. All controversial

526
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:06.960
takes are dangerous inherently, so like
you should be able to put them out

527
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:09.519
somewhere. And then same with um, which is the thing I do like

528
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:14.320
about Twitter, Like Elaun's asking creators
to put full length videos there, so

529
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:16.960
he's asking mister beast and stuff,
and he's trying to match the ad sense

530
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:21.440
of YouTube on Twitter, which is
cool at least it's a step forward.

531
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.280
Um. And then yeah, a
bunch of like the young content creators who

532
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:27.960
are just like a little crazier.
They look like to drop an F bomb.

533
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:30.079
You can't do that on YouTube anymore, you know, even with an

534
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:34.559
adult warning and all this shit.
So they're gonna go to rumble because they're

535
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.960
at least allowed to curse or you
know, for from their perspective, the

536
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:43.079
be themselves. So I do understand, and it is about time we have

537
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.239
more competitors, because a bunch came
along over the years, right, like

538
00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:52.000
what's what's the fucking live stream telescope? Periscope? You know? Like those

539
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.320
came and went. Couldn't hang on
what was the second one? I don't

540
00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.559
even know Twitter? Twitter bought one. Yeah, and what was that one

541
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.639
called? I don't know. Was
there one with an animal animal ish name?

542
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:07.960
I don't know. I feel like
there's a fish something in my brain

543
00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:10.480
now. I don't know why I
can't God, damn it, it's it's

544
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:14.880
it's just a word and it's not
it's not um it's like a fake word

545
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:17.440
like yahoo. No, it's a
real word. What were they called?

546
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:21.679
Vines? Oh? Vine? Vine? Vine was successful, it was just

547
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:23.519
short lived. I don't know why
it was so short lived. I don't

548
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:27.960
know. I think money and stuff
on the back end. I think yeah,

549
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.400
kind of like yeah, maybe yeah. I don't know. That's why

550
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.159
we can't have a nice thing.
But that's why I went to TikTok.

551
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:34.840
A lot of those guys that were
successful there went to TikTok. TikTok's yeah

552
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:37.039
the newest vision and TikTok, you
know, it is like popped off in

553
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:38.199
the last three years, but it's
been around almost ten years now, you

554
00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:42.119
know, like it's not new new, you know, TikTok's old issues.

555
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:45.280
So but um, they weren't necessarily
competitors because I think Vine already died.

556
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:49.599
But yeah, for YouTube to have
a competitor, you know, I'm I'm

557
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.280
all for that because then YouTube's got
to step up their game and monetizing,

558
00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:54.320
step up the game and talking to
their creators step up. Twitch is going

559
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:58.360
through a huge thing for any of
those who watch live stream. There's three

560
00:35:58.480 --> 00:36:01.880
or four platforms that are really fighting
against Twitch to make a better kick Kicks

561
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:07.599
the biggest one. Um Rumble does
a little bit of live stuff and they're

562
00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:09.800
starting to push and then YouTube Live
YouTube Live, at least in the gaming

563
00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:14.960
space. I don't think it's much
in other spaces, but in the gaming

564
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:17.000
spaces is making a lot of moves
and trying to sign a lot of people.

565
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:20.519
So I think it's good because,
like you said, social media,

566
00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:22.360
even if it is twenty years old, it's still new, and so it

567
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:24.719
takes time, you know, like
Ford was probably the only car on the

568
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.440
road or ninety percent of them for
a long time, right, so it

569
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:30.239
takes time. But well there were
a ton of competitors, but that was

570
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:37.920
the most most successful. Yeah,
I guess yeah, yeah, top top

571
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:40.079
level and yeah kind of like this
then, right, because then there's the

572
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:44.719
periscope was there but it's not I
liked periscope. Yeah, it's cool,

573
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:46.719
cool, it was cool. I
never really got vines some of the threads.

574
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.679
People say are like, oh,
dude, once the thread coming out

575
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.199
with live and stuff, and I'm
like, well, like why and there's

576
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:53.599
no dms. We can go get
Instagram and get your DM. Yeah.

577
00:36:53.599 --> 00:36:57.119
I think a DM would be okay
because if you find someone new, but

578
00:36:57.199 --> 00:36:59.800
yeah, you could also just click
on the little Instagram and go DM them.

579
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:01.480
Live isn't really needed, right because
then we have YouTube live. Yeah.

580
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:06.280
I'm my understanding is that there's a
bunch of stuff coming threads. This

581
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:08.920
is just like the minimum viable product
version of threads. And then there's a

582
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:13.440
lawsuit. I don't know how real
or how fake or how legitimate that is,

583
00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:15.400
but I think Elon's already soon,
zuck over. I think it's gonna

584
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:22.119
work because none of the because Elon
laid off a bunch of people. Part

585
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:28.039
of their severance package was that they
had a noncompete and then a number of

586
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:32.719
them went to work for Meta,
but supposedly none of them worked on Threads,

587
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.480
probably because because it just Threads has
been in the work since January and

588
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:40.920
he just fired him a year ago
or less. Last of all. Yeah,

589
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.800
yeah, so yeah, maybe it
is cool. I just like competitors.

590
00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:51.320
I keep yelling at myself for not
being the guy that hopped on um

591
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:54.920
TikTok when it came about, and
I'll take advantage of it. So yeah,

592
00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:59.519
I'm on Threads fucking around, and
I feel like Threads might have a

593
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:06.119
better at being a good place for
fitness because Instagram has been. Yeah.

594
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:09.199
Probably, but then that's like the
joke of people being unhinged is like everyone's

595
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:13.119
like all the like, all these
fitness folks are nice to look out,

596
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.639
but they ain't got shit to say. And I feel like that too.

597
00:38:15.760 --> 00:38:17.800
Not that I'm nice to look at, but I sometimes I just I don't

598
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:21.400
always have a joke. Yeah,
I made a couple of jokes, you

599
00:38:21.440 --> 00:38:22.960
know, but it's not like every
I'm not a comedian. I'm not whipping

600
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:27.159
out jokes all the day on Twitter, you know. So I don't blame

601
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:30.400
these pretty fitz bos to not have
an interesting thread and that it's just going

602
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:35.800
to be selfies again, but it
is what it is. I excuse me.

603
00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:39.079
I'm kind of treating it the way
that I did Twitter at the beginning,

604
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.280
and the way that I did Facebook
at the beginning. You know,

605
00:38:43.400 --> 00:38:46.800
it's a honestly a little bit more, a little bit more dialed down,

606
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:52.039
a little bit more real, and
I actually feel somewhat motivated to do it

607
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.159
because I'm kind of demotivated from all
the other platforms at this point. I

608
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:59.719
do think if Instagram and threads want
to be like the same thing, then

609
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.679
they an overlaps too much. So
like already in my head, stories and

610
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:08.480
threads overlap too much. Like obviously
stories are more video, but not always.

611
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:10.599
There's a lot that you scroll through
peoples stories, there's a lot of

612
00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:14.119
pictures, it's a lot of writing. Yeah, um, and I'm sure

613
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:16.400
of a video feature will actually I
think you can already post videos on threads,

614
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:20.119
but I'm sure that will become more
popular, right A text plus a

615
00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:22.559
thing, so like I don't know. And then and then if pictures and

616
00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:29.159
videos plus text on threads become the
norm, which they will, um,

617
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:35.039
then it's old Instagram correct, right, just in a scrolling form. But

618
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:37.519
they're they're kind of addressing some of
the things that have you know, caused

619
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:42.679
Instagram to be less impactful. Yeah, because now Instagram is more TikTok.

620
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:45.800
Right, you're on a real and
it's it's auto replay. So I don't

621
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:49.320
think it's all bad, but yeah, to me, I'm treating threads yeah,

622
00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:51.559
kind of like a like a story. It's similar to my story.

623
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:53.280
Right, it's fast action in the
in the moment. Now not as long

624
00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:59.559
lived, but they but they do
stick around, like like like your timeline

625
00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:01.440
does. Yeah and yeah yeah,
and like you're real. They do stick

626
00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:07.480
around, and even algorithmically they catch
fire a little later sometimes like like a

627
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:12.199
real you can post real back in
Instagram days, like the first half an

628
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:14.639
hour showed if you were going to
get likes or not, because then you're

629
00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:17.280
dead. It's gone. Where Now
things can pop up a week later,

630
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:21.400
a month later, a year later, more like YouTube or something. TikTok's

631
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.800
like that. I think all the
algorithms have taken that. I don't know

632
00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:30.639
necessarily where or how or why that
is, but things can get uncovered and

633
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:39.320
catch flame. Yeah, no,
I agree. The other thing I wanted

634
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:45.800
to talk about today this a little
bit is the issue of home health tests.

635
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:51.400
And like the world you know,
largely changed in the last three years

636
00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:55.159
about around the whole issue of home
testing because of COVID, because so many

637
00:40:55.199 --> 00:41:00.159
people did home COVID tests and I
think that they were, you know,

638
00:41:00.320 --> 00:41:05.679
kind of reliable in their lane,
but they were not perfectly reliable. Excuse

639
00:41:05.719 --> 00:41:12.679
me. But now there's a whole
you know, businesses built around UM and

640
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:16.239
I guess it has been for a
while. But home testing for testosterone stuff,

641
00:41:16.280 --> 00:41:21.880
you know, you know, male
stuff, female stuff, STDs is

642
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:24.960
the biggest one. Yeah, STDs. I feel like STDs and test are

643
00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:29.320
like the highest, right, Like
is a quest quest, Yeah, but

644
00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:31.800
quest you actually have to go in. Oh, but it's like a McDonald's

645
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:36.599
version. It's kind of dry.
Yeah, because those have been around,

646
00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:39.800
I feel like, started popping up
just before the pandemic, and they're kind

647
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:43.840
of everywhere. They're everywhere. Now
they got to be killing it. And

648
00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:45.480
obviously we're in the fitness space,
so it's kind of hard to tell the

649
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:51.400
real pulse of the culture nationally or
worldwide. But yeah, like the HRT,

650
00:41:51.599 --> 00:41:53.760
people don't even say TRT anymore.
I don't they say hrs HRT.

651
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:58.559
They're just like, I am a
bit of a hater, you know,

652
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:01.119
I'm one of the last living now
he's on the planet. But like they're

653
00:42:01.159 --> 00:42:06.400
like I feel like people that take
copious amounts of steroids or are so pro

654
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:12.639
steroids are always finding layers to like
self defend or like water down. Like

655
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:15.599
no, I don't take tests.
It's hormone therapy, like you know,

656
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:20.159
like it's always just always trying to
it could be anything. Yeah, like

657
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:24.320
what the fuck, It's not all
tests. And so those companies there's a

658
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:29.159
hundred of them now ye that are
doing home kids, home doctors, home

659
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.760
this, home that UM and I
don't know. I think some of it's

660
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.400
trendy. Some of it's obviously like
big podcasts even like Huberman and those guys

661
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:45.159
are all about like hormone regulation.
But like again, like is it is

662
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:49.480
it just I think it's just like
so lifestyle based. If you're forty years

663
00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:52.440
old and you've been eating McDonald's for
the last twenty years, like, yeah,

664
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:57.679
your shit's fucked, Like duh,
you're you're fucking fat. You don't

665
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.320
move McDonald's all day, Like,
yeah, something's gonna be wrong in your

666
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:04.400
body when you test it, right, Like I could do the test for

667
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.039
free to like go run a fucking
thirty feet let's see what you look like

668
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:10.599
after. I could tell you your
shit's fucked. And if the tests are

669
00:43:13.159 --> 00:43:15.800
offered by a company that also offers
solutions for the test, yeah, of

670
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:20.000
course, then you kind of have
to feel like it's going to be a

671
00:43:20.079 --> 00:43:22.880
little bit on the rigged side.
But people don't like see that. Or

672
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.199
membership, they're all membership based.
So you're paying like a monthly to get

673
00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:29.159
access to this doctor and then you're
paying for the test is free, Well

674
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:30.519
that's because you're paying for four and
a bucks a month, and then your

675
00:43:30.599 --> 00:43:35.039
drugs cost more than they would from
a real doctor. Why is that or

676
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:37.639
on the street right, Yeah,
for sure, on the street right.

677
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:43.000
So like but because you probably do
feel slightly better because you're automatically going to

678
00:43:43.079 --> 00:43:45.920
look better, it's just a scaled
up version of what we talk about with

679
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:49.360
like supplements, Like every supplement is
gonna have beta alanin in it and caffeine

680
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:52.199
in it, because as soon as
you take it, you're going to physically

681
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.199
feel something, and so then psychologically
you think it's working. And although beta

682
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:59.760
allening and caffeine do work and they
do have you know, positive effects and

683
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:05.119
performance, but you automatically feel something. Now you're gonna be addicted to it

684
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:09.119
because that that sensation makes you think
that you're it's working. And so of

685
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:14.519
course you take test for a month
and you're a woman man in between,

686
00:44:14.719 --> 00:44:16.360
I don't care who you are or
what your levels are, You're going to

687
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:21.519
probably feel better and build more muscle, which is scientifically proven even without lifting

688
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.039
weights, you're gonna build more muscle. So of course you're gonna be like,

689
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:27.599
oh, yeah, I was so
sick, and now look at me.

690
00:44:27.719 --> 00:44:30.079
I got some delts, I got
some traps. I just a little

691
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:34.239
body fat, my hair is sticker. I like, yeah, bitch,

692
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:37.840
yeah yeah, yeah, clearly,
but that doesn't mean it's like, it's

693
00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.440
right, doesn't mean it's good.
It doesn't mean that you probably should have

694
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:45.679
taken other precautions to try to fix
it first correct and because those tests are

695
00:44:45.679 --> 00:44:49.280
just still fucked up, and so
like, I'm not a doctor, and

696
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:52.639
so don't quote me, but the
natural level of like test is somewhere between

697
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:57.360
like three hundred and eight hundred or
something, right, So a doctor will

698
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:00.800
test you. Say you're even twenty
six and doctor tests you and you're at

699
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:04.199
three hundred. Oh man, you're
on the low end of the scale.

700
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:07.239
Let's boost you up closer to eight
hundred. But if you've been at three

701
00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:13.760
hundred your entire life with no negative
sides, yeah, you're in the normal

702
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:17.760
range. It's called the normal range. There's probably NFL players with lower end

703
00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:22.000
test. Like, it's not the
one determining factor. Yeah, that's what

704
00:45:22.039 --> 00:45:24.599
your body does with it, Yeah, because your your receptors matter. And

705
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:28.920
then yeah, like if you're naturally
at three hundred and you got a fucking

706
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:32.639
full beard, your jacked is fuck
and you feel great, Yeah, what

707
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:36.800
are we doing? But they do
Yeah, because again, like you said,

708
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:38.800
like the same person given the test
is the same person with the doctor.

709
00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:42.159
That's the same person selling the ship. It was the same person selling

710
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:45.320
you the subscription that's getting you locked
in. Because it's something I mean,

711
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:47.920
it's the best business model ever because
you can't take it once and it fixes

712
00:45:47.960 --> 00:45:52.280
it correct. It's expensive and you
need a weekly yeah, exactly. And

713
00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:57.519
to me, it's no different than
the anti big pharma crowd. Yeah,

714
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:01.320
but the anti big pharma crowd are
the pro test crowd. Yeah. And

715
00:46:01.320 --> 00:46:07.360
and I mean this is not the
discount that some people, uh, really

716
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:12.480
get good benefits from working with these
kinds of companies. That totally happens.

717
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:16.440
But as you point out, I
would say a higher percentage of those people

718
00:46:16.599 --> 00:46:22.079
are fixing past discretion indiscretions I guess, or fixing things that aren't there.

719
00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:25.039
The other thing I've heard over the
last three years, and this is one

720
00:46:25.639 --> 00:46:32.079
anecdotal just from reading and looking,
is like the culture in fitness and not

721
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:35.840
used to say like, oh,
you're about forty five, Yeah, maybe

722
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:37.239
take your test. Check your test
TR two is pretty good. Were about

723
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:39.119
forty five, Yeah, Then all
of a sudden it's like, yeah,

724
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:43.440
when you start to reach thirty thirty
five, probably check your test. I

725
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:45.079
swear to god, I've seen people
say like, oh, you're in your

726
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:49.880
late twenties, probably should check that
test late twenty Like what are we doing?

727
00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.079
That's insanity, you know what I
mean? Like again, if you're

728
00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:57.239
not fucking and I don't want to
be like the fat shamer. But if

729
00:46:57.239 --> 00:47:00.800
you're not just fucking eating McDonald sitting
on your fucking couch all day, your

730
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:04.280
test is probably gonna be just fine. Yeah, probably forty. Yeah,

731
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:07.079
I feel great, like yeah,
like the breeze are you know, looking

732
00:47:07.119 --> 00:47:09.440
at a fucking you know, piece
of fruit doesn't get me hard like when

733
00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:14.159
I was seventeen, but like you
know what I mean, But it's good.

734
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:16.000
Which I don't want to know which
fruit all of them. Really,

735
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:21.159
that's the issue. Everything but a
banana. Bananas didn't do it for me,

736
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.880
but everything else really rock hard.
But that's a good. That's like

737
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:28.559
a natural progression to go right.
Like your your brain, your two brains

738
00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:30.880
are connected, your cock and your
brain brain when you're seventeen, that's not

739
00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:34.440
good. The bad things come when
they're all connected like that. You know,

740
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:36.519
you don't think the wrong. Yeah, you don't know which one you're

741
00:47:36.559 --> 00:47:37.559
thinking with. Yeah, that's the
issue. And then and then you get

742
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:40.360
into your twenties and now you can
understand what you're thinking with. That's great.

743
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:44.440
That's called maturity, that's called it's
It's okay that my test went down

744
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.880
probably a little bit since I was
seventeen. That's normal. But that doesn't

745
00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:50.320
mean I need to go inject myself
every day. It's clear head a little

746
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:52.880
bit. Yeah, it's great,
it's great. I think I was choking

747
00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.880
out of this conversation when the deem
I was like, Oh, that's good.

748
00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:59.519
You don't want the fucking yeah,
you don't want to look at a

749
00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:01.840
cartooning get a poner like that's not
normal. You know, that's seventeen year

750
00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:05.599
old behavior. You can't write a
bus or a train yeah nothing yeah,

751
00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:10.559
nothing that moves or vibrate. Nothing. But I swear to God that trend

752
00:48:10.599 --> 00:48:14.960
has happened from yeah, forty five, you should probably get your levels tested,

753
00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.440
check it out to thirty to now. I swear they're saying, oh,

754
00:48:17.559 --> 00:48:20.960
twenty year, twenty seven, Yeah, maybe you want to check it

755
00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.320
out. You'll probably feel better.
Yeah, I mean really, it should

756
00:48:23.320 --> 00:48:28.760
probably be driven by symptoms and not
by by lab tests. And then the

757
00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:30.400
thing is that a lot of these
lab tests, even the ones that are

758
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:36.719
not tied to UM two companies,
that solve the problem for you, they're

759
00:48:36.760 --> 00:48:42.679
only so only so accurate. Sure, and you can't test like horniness level.

760
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.239
No, yeah, there's no objective
measurement. There should be a horny

761
00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:47.719
test. You all need it,
well, I mean sort of. There

762
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:57.199
is like a bony yeah yeah,
penileth is legram where they put a ring

763
00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:00.159
around Like that documentary we saw,
Yes, The Vegetarian One, Yes,

764
00:49:00.159 --> 00:49:04.320
where veggie burritos make you hard and
I think you're dick gross. Yeah,

765
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:08.760
exactly, exactly. That's crazy.
The world is crazy. A documentary tried

766
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:13.559
to tell the world and it got
A very popular documentary said that you eat

767
00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:16.280
a veggie breedo versus a steak brito
and your dick is hard automatically bigger.

768
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:21.719
They said it was bigger. What
world am I in? I don't even

769
00:49:21.760 --> 00:49:23.960
know. People believe it, Yeah, people do, because people want to

770
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:29.679
believe that that things they would normally
not have effect an effect over. Yeah,

771
00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:30.800
that they can. Well, and
again it is the easy rot.

772
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:34.679
You know. All I gotta do
is do a Fahita breedo versus a steak

773
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:37.719
brito, and I'm gonna be a
fucking Johnny Sins. Yeah that's a porn

774
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:43.119
star. Don't act like you don't
know any other fuckers. It's just so

775
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:45.039
weird. The whole world I do
feel like we live in. I don't

776
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:47.880
know, you want to call it
the matrix or idiocracy or whatever you want

777
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:51.480
to call it, but I feel
like I'm in it. Yeah. I

778
00:49:52.000 --> 00:50:00.320
recently did a home test for something
and I got one result and it was

779
00:50:00.920 --> 00:50:04.679
directional but not totally totally accurate.
And it was a it was a blood

780
00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:07.679
test. I had to prick my
hand my fingers a bunch of times because

781
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:10.079
I don't bleed very well. Yeah, you should have got our boy Jerry

782
00:50:10.119 --> 00:50:15.760
to do it. Oh. Yeah, he's a phlebotomist. Oh really Yeah,

783
00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:17.559
A little Jerry. Yeah, oh, little Jerry. Yeah, big

784
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:21.400
Jerry. No, little Jerry.
He's big. Jerry's kind of medium.

785
00:50:21.599 --> 00:50:24.360
He's just big compared to the other
Jerry. Yeah and older. Yeah,

786
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:29.159
little yeah. Big Jerry's maybe twenty
eight, twenty nine. Little Jerry's twenty

787
00:50:29.199 --> 00:50:32.039
one, stealing everyone's blood, the
vampire. Big Jerry surprises me because his

788
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:37.119
body weight is not reflective in his
size. J olds are pretty good.

789
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:40.320
I imagine he's what two hundred pounds. No, I think he's like I

790
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:44.559
think he's in like the one eighties. Yeah, I mean he's not super

791
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:47.679
tallly like say, he's probably six
by seven anyway, very powerlifter builds in

792
00:50:47.719 --> 00:50:52.320
here. Yeah, for sure,
the tallest dude in the gym. No

793
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:57.599
though, that one dude is I
don't know his name. Oh yeah,

794
00:50:57.599 --> 00:51:00.960
for sure, not all these brothers
fucking six nine or something. He's a

795
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:05.639
very big boy. Um, I
didn't know he's naturally brought anyway, though,

796
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:08.800
non then got the same tests.
Um, I don't have them all

797
00:51:08.840 --> 00:51:14.360
back yet, but like the same
tests done with blood and the direction is

798
00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:17.519
kind of similar, but it's not
it's not nearly as accurate. I mean,

799
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:22.079
we're just complicated fucking cars, right, So like a mechanic runs a

800
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:24.320
bunch of tests and says, maybe
it's this, Yeah, you know,

801
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:29.000
that's all we are. Yeah,
And I think that you and I were

802
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:32.039
talking about this before that that home
test is kind of the first cut of

803
00:51:32.360 --> 00:51:36.800
is there something to be concerned about
or whatever if you don't have And I

804
00:51:37.119 --> 00:51:42.039
did this home testing because I didn't
have immediate access to a doctor. I

805
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:46.119
could do a whole show on how
fucked up managed care is used. I

806
00:51:46.199 --> 00:51:50.280
used to work in the industry,
and I can tell you that it's not

807
00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:55.719
now the way it was envisioned.
Everywhere's not at all. Everywhere's fucked But

808
00:51:55.800 --> 00:52:01.000
yeah, anyway, though, so
there is a data base that's run by

809
00:52:01.039 --> 00:52:06.199
the FDA, and you can keep
your comments about the FDA to yourself.

810
00:52:06.280 --> 00:52:09.840
Everybody, I don't know, Mike
doesn't have any but about over the counter

811
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:19.400
tests and which ones are actually vented
and approved by the FDA. The list

812
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:22.679
is short, yeah, in a
lot of ways. So there's a whole

813
00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:25.760
lot of because and I'm split on
that, right, because I could just

814
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:31.360
mean that getting the certified test,
because we even know it in powerlifting,

815
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:35.320
right to get your logo certified somewhere, it's like so many hoops you got

816
00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:38.920
to jump through, rather than they
could be using the same protocols and labs

817
00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:43.199
as these other people, so it
could be legitimate, right, they just

818
00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:46.400
haven't paid ten thousand dollars a month
to get their stamp of approval. You

819
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:50.079
know. Like that's what I just
hate about, talk about living in the

820
00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:53.239
matrix. You just can't trust a
motherfucker anywhere, right because everything's like where

821
00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:57.280
the where the money leads, and
then there's so many hoops and yeah,

822
00:52:57.400 --> 00:52:59.360
you know, like trying to start
a business, put a sign in front

823
00:52:59.360 --> 00:53:00.440
of your business, you got to
pay this much per square foot, Like

824
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:06.199
there's always loops in our little world. Imagine something like blood. Yeah,

825
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:10.559
for sure, I think that if
you're if you're actually being sent to a

826
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:15.519
lab to have your blood drawn,
those tests are just inherently more accurate.

827
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:20.320
Ye you would hope. Um,
ones you have to do yourself. Um,

828
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:24.119
some of them are saliva basis,
like like twenty three and me and

829
00:53:23.840 --> 00:53:28.480
ye and ancestry or whatever. It
takes a long time to get enough spit.

830
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:31.159
Yeah, Um, there are plenty
of the testosterone tests and stuff.

831
00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:37.800
Are are our saliva tests? They
yeah, and then that I just don't

832
00:53:37.840 --> 00:53:39.519
want to I don't like the bleed, you know. And then I also

833
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:44.519
never want to do a poop one
because I just can't wrap my head around

834
00:53:44.519 --> 00:53:47.119
how to grab that thing. Okay, well here's I can. I can

835
00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:50.480
give you the four one one on
this. I mean, I know,

836
00:53:50.599 --> 00:53:52.559
I know, I just don't want
to go through all that. Yeah you

837
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:57.079
know, I know it's coming.
Yeah you're yeah, you're still young.

838
00:53:57.199 --> 00:53:59.920
Yeah you're you're younger in that respect. But no, I've had like one

839
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:05.519
pooper regular um colonoscopy. Oh yeah, that doesn't bother me as much.

840
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:08.119
I'm even like like a fecal deal. No, Well, stand by all

841
00:54:08.159 --> 00:54:10.840
right, I'm gonna get there.
Yeah, colin oscopy. I'm not stoked

842
00:54:10.840 --> 00:54:14.559
on. But you know, well, people do it for fun, so

843
00:54:14.599 --> 00:54:17.800
it can't be that bad. I
don't think it's the same thing. But

844
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:21.000
some people shove things up there for
fun. Yea, this is true.

845
00:54:21.039 --> 00:54:23.880
There's a whole there's a whole TikTok
that that a doctor does. It's things

846
00:54:23.880 --> 00:54:29.239
that people stick stuck, stuck up
their ass and it's all like you see

847
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:36.360
um u x rays. Yeah,
jackass did at Uh what's hot? It's

848
00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:38.519
the little cars, not a hot
rod, hot wheel, yeah, hot

849
00:54:38.519 --> 00:54:42.920
wheel up, but up the pooper. Years ago, my my wife had

850
00:54:43.159 --> 00:54:49.320
a patient in the hospital who used
to put the shaved heads of barbies on

851
00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:52.559
a string up his ass. Oh, for fun. See that's what I

852
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:55.000
mean. It can't be it can't
be the worst thing ever. And I

853
00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:58.960
know people probably bleed for fun,
but that's a real small niche. There's

854
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:01.360
a good amount of people that think
like butt play, So keep you that

855
00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:06.519
bad well, and if I have
a hot doctor, you're you're not awake

856
00:55:06.599 --> 00:55:08.320
for it, so oh then that's
even better. Yeah knock me out.

857
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:12.960
Yeah that's rape. Yeah, the
yeah, it could be the one.

858
00:55:13.079 --> 00:55:16.039
The one that I had was that
had trouble knocking me out. I had

859
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:19.079
a lot of trouble blocking me out. And they're like, okay, we're

860
00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:21.159
gonna give you some more of this
is that's okay. And I was like,

861
00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:25.039
oh, all right fine, and
they're like, okay, we're gonna

862
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:29.360
get started now. So I can
see the beginning of it. They like

863
00:55:29.400 --> 00:55:32.079
showed it to me on the thing
and then and then I went down and

864
00:55:32.119 --> 00:55:36.519
then I was out for hours and
hours and I was wiped out for days

865
00:55:36.679 --> 00:55:42.880
afterwards, just from the morphine or
whatever it was, um benadril, ivy

866
00:55:42.920 --> 00:55:45.960
benadril and like valium or something.
Yeah, Like I just did not have

867
00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:50.559
a good reaction to it, and
so I was So that's why when it

868
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:52.079
came around again, I was like, I want to do the other one,

869
00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:55.159
the Kali Guard one where you it's
like a little hat thing. You

870
00:55:55.199 --> 00:56:00.440
just put it in the toilet and
you just like sit on it. It's

871
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:02.719
it hangs in the seat and you
sort of drop it into there and then

872
00:56:02.760 --> 00:56:06.360
you just when you get as much
as you're supposed to, you just pull

873
00:56:06.400 --> 00:56:08.199
it out and then you just pack
it up and send it to them.

874
00:56:08.360 --> 00:56:13.840
Interesting, but I mean it's ikey, but it's less ekey for me personally

875
00:56:14.159 --> 00:56:16.559
than being asleep for a week.
Yeah, exactly, I lose too much

876
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:20.360
time. Yeah, I mean,
if you come up with a with an

877
00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:22.960
odd result on the Coali Guard one, you have to go and do the

878
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:29.239
regular one. But I would just
rather not yea, honestly say all right,

879
00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:35.679
So in the show notes I will
add this database from the fd FDA

880
00:56:35.719 --> 00:56:42.119
about how to find out whether or
not the tests that you're ordering from somebody

881
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:46.760
or anybody or whatever is actually proved
or some a legit. And just always

882
00:56:46.840 --> 00:56:52.599
