From the beginning of time, man has explored, experimented, invented ways to improve the quality of life. Men and women of invention, innovation, imagination. Hello, I'm Marcia Davis, and this is the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Arlington, Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C. The American patent system is one of the oldest activities in the federal government. It was established by Congress, written to the Constitution to protect an inventor by excluding others from making, using, or selling his invention. The first patent was granted April 10, 1790, for making pot ash and pearl ash, two ingredients used in making soap. Inventors, people of vision like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Wilbur Norval Wright, apply for patents to protect and secure their inventions. Today, you'll meet other people of vision and ingenuity. They are not as familiar as our most famous inventors, but you'll recognize some inventions and learn about new ones. Lewis Howard Latimer was born in 1848. His father was a runaway slave who managed to obtain his freedom and live in the Boston area. Lewis Latimer was a self-taught draftsman. He learned his skill while working as a clerk for a patent attorney's office, and eventually, he was promoted to chief draftsman. Around this time, Alexander Graham Bell hired Latimer to draw renderings for various patent applications. Few people are aware of Latimer's contribution to the field of electricity. He invented and received a patent in 1882 for an improved carbon filament to Thomas Edison's original filament for the electric lamp. In 1918, he became a charter member of the Edison Pioneers, an exclusive organization of scientists, technicians, and inventors who worked very closely with Thomas Edison. Granville T. Woods was an exceptional inventor from Indiana. He holds 60 patents relating to the railroad industry. His patents range from a steam boiler furnace, a telephone transmitter, automatic air brakes to slow or stop trains, and overhead wires used by cable cars and street cars. He invented more than a dozen devices to improve electric railway cars. Granville Woods' most noted invention is the third rail system, which is the power source to keep cars running. This is the same system that is used in our subways today. George Washington Carver was born to slave parents at Diamond Grove, Missouri, about 1864, but was freed in infancy. George Washington Carver is known for his experiments in plant chemistry and agriculture. He developed 300 products from peanuts, 118 products from sweet potatoes, and 60 products from pecans. Dr. Carver holds three patents for processing paints and stains of superior color and sheen, and for producing cosmetics. He also developed products such as bleach, shaving soap, lanolin, paper, and ink. Dr. Carver dedicated his life to his experiments and studies in agriculture at a school which is now the Tuskegee Institute at Tuskegee, Alabama. Garrett Morgan is not a household word, but his patent affects our lives from one day to the next. Garrett Morgan, an inventor from Cleveland, Ohio, designed and patented the traffic signal to control the flow of traffic. His invention provided a mechanically controlled apparatus to raise and lower signals to indicate a stop or go at regulated intervals. Electric lamps illuminated the words giving the signal. Garrett Morgan is also noted for his gas inhalator or gas mask. Various kinds of noxious gases were used during World War I. Garrett Morgan's gas mask as well as other versions were used while troops fought in the trenches. When the Nazis were storming across Europe during World War II, a young doctor from Washington D.C. was experimenting with methods of preserving blood. Dr. Charles Richard Drew developed and researched a revolutionary process of separating red blood cells from the plasma and then storing it for later use. Dr. Drew worked with the British military during the war and helped to establish mobile units to provide plasma and emergency aid for the wounded at the front lines. After World War II, Dr. Drew was appointed the first medical director of the American Red Cross Blood Bank. The patent system is a major link in the technology chain. It provides financial incentives for inventors, business investors who know that their achievements are safe from exploitation by others. Minority inventors have made a significant contribution to our nation's technology as well as to our business growth by providing thousands of jobs for American workers. And dedicated scientists continue to work hard, develop their ideas, and experiment until the dream becomes reality. And this is where the dream begins. There are over four and a half million patents filed at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Every patent is assigned a number given a classification and stored here in these stacks. All of these documents are available to the public for research on any patent filed in America. Today, computers are being used in homes, schools, police and fire departments, hospitals and all areas of public and private business and industry to improve the quality and efficiency of processive information. Research in computer technology was making advances when an immigrant from China began graduate studies at Harvard University. When you buy word processing from Wang, you get more than just the best-selling word processing in the world. You get an easy-to-use system that opens the door to the world of office automation. The results of Dr. Wang's creative geniuses touched all forms of American life. Dr. An Wang, founder of Wang Laboratories in Lowell, Massachusetts, is the mastermind behind the original development of the basic components and systems of digital computer machines. As high technology continues to advance, minority inventors continue to play a significant role in development and research. Philip V. Stevens, president of Ultra Systems Incorporated, is a member of the Ogallasu Indian tribe. These dreams and ideas have resulted in a number of patents for defense systems. During the early phase of the United States Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Program, there were only two large intercontinental ballistic missiles, and both of them used liquid propellants for rocket propulsion. This missile is a Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile of one of the early vintages of a liquid propelled missile. These missiles are characterized by a rocket propulsion system in which the rocket nozzles could swing or vector. No one knew how to control the thrust vector from a rocket nozzle that used solid rocket engine technology. Here's a typical solid rocket engine nozzle. One of the concepts in my invention was a concept that would cause the thrust vector to deflect, which would give a missile the ability to control and fly in all different angles. After going through Minimand 1, 2 and 3, I did decide that I wanted to do other things besides just missile development, and then I took the big step of forming my own company. At that time, it was just a one-man company, and we now have about 1,300 people on the staff. Many people tend to gravitate more and more to the company because we are very people-sensitive. We care a lot about our people. When it started, I had aspirations of doing other things to really help the nation's society, things in the field of energy and safety related activities. This is a model of an advanced wood-fired power plant that Ultra Systems Incorporated has pioneered so that wastewood materials can be productively consumed and utilized to generate electricity. Well, I think that it is possible for anyone in the United States to take their dreams and create it into realities. If I'm an example of that, of a kid that brought up on the wrong side of the tracks that was able to work hard and to create dreams that I had into realities, others can do it too. And I think that the key to that is to persevere and to be determined to succeed. The American Indian has, is a very disadvantaged group of people. The American Indian is suffering from all types of hardships, from high suicide rates, high infant mortality rates, high unemployment, and it's really difficult for them. So I'm really looking forward to the opportunity of going back to the Su-Indian Reservation and to talk to the relatives of my forefathers and to see if I can be of assistance to the young people there. Isidore Martinez Martinez is an inventor with a background in aerospace engineering and missile design. He turned from missile technology to medicine, specifically knee implants for victims of arthritis. Knee implants on the market today have a fairly low success rate. Mr. Martinez's patent on a knee implant could revolutionize technology in developing artificial components. My knee is designed to produce a longevity within the patient, allow him the complete freedom of his knee and the normal use, abduction, abduction, rotation, extension, and flexion. Knee is the most pivotal, important joint in the body. And without it, you cannot be able to live a near-normal life. In our earlier development, we had quite a lot of bone removal that we had. We do not have this any longer, but this is a good example of showing how the prosthesis is assembled. We put a structural member into the midline and then engage it with a secondary structural barrel section that forms a support of the conical area. Then we do the same type of construction within the tibia. As soon as you've completed this, then you have a completely assembled device. This demonstrates the principle of our invention. So we have gone further and here's an x-ray. This is, we work with primates at the Tulane University's Bivarium. At the medical school, this is a normal primate limb. One of the three primates that was implanted, we were able to sustain him for five years and he was able to produce every function, including some that humans won't have to do and that's hanging upside down or climbing trees. The latest on the traveler's advisory, traffic is slow due to dense fog. As the morning progresses, we'll be seeing a warming trend and the fog should burn off by noon. If you're flying out of the city, expect some delays. You know, in this country, their airlines are reportedly losing about $300 million a year because of diverted flights when airports get socked in with fog. They burn up fuel and they have to go to alternate airports. And so this could mean a bottom line savings to them at normal fuel prices of about $300 million a year, so it's important to get rid of it. Dr. Gordine's latest patent is a fog dispersal system, specifically for airport runways. Small boxes line each side of the runway about an eighth of a mile apart. Each box contains a small generator that shoots compressed air about 300 feet into the fog. The air is charged with negative ions and mixes with the neutral fog particles. The negative ions charge the fog particles, which in turn are attracted to the positive ions on the ground. Essentially, it rains and the air is clear of fog, which gives a pilot clearance for takeoff and landing. Soon as the airplane can see the landing lights from, say, 300 feet up and say a mile away from the strip, well, of course, the airport's open, he can see. There's no reason to worry about fog at all. When I went up to Cornell as a freshman, I wanted to go into engineering physics, but in the meantime, I concentrated on track and field. I got to be captain of the team, all American, and a couple of events, hurdles, intermediate hurdles, low hurdles, and in the broad jump. And in 52, I went to the Olympic Games and I got silver medal in the broad jump and I missed the gold medal by four centimeters. I'm very frustrating, but it was a very, very fulfilling experience to go over the air. Two zero times one, two, five equals. Dr. Gaudine is president of Energy Innovations Incorporated. Although he has become progressively blind over the last 10 years, he continues to develop his theories of electro gas dynamics. Presently, he holds over 50 patents worldwide. This inventor is Mrs. Mildred Austin Smith of Washington, D.C. Mrs. Smith has been a victim of multiple sclerosis for the past 20 years. Despite her confinement to a wheelchair, Mrs. Smith continues to play a very active role in her church. Mrs. Smith invented a unique genealogy game which teaches family relationships for people of all ages. This is a logo of the game, family tradition. It was my idea about it. It just came to me all of a sudden one day that about relatives. I got the thing, I said, my mother's sister is my aunt. It just, just like that. My grandmother's son is my father. Terry and Thomas, you'll look at, we have a lot of cards on the table. After I started developing it, I went to church one day and I got, my son is a minister and he brought two of the kids I told my one to test them on the game. And surprisingly, they knew nothing about relationship, which I think is so important to know about the relationship. My grandmother's daughter is my mother. It keeps that closeness with the family. When you know what Ken, this person, even with cousins, if I know that you're my fourth cousin, I have a warm feeling towards you. The 1950s was an era of innovation and discovery. America turned its optimistic eye to the future. We discovered micro-encapsulation in the 50s. Carbonist paper is a result of micro-encapsulation. When you write on the paper, micro-capsules of carbon are released onto the next copy and leave a dry impression. Doesn't smear. Robert Bayless, president of Capsulated Systems Incorporated, has enhanced and patented this process of micro-encapsulation. It is a method of mixing two solutions that have opposite qualities, such as oil and water, and encapsulating the product with a protective shell. When oil is mixed with water, the oil forms an emotion of tiny beads. A polymer, such as polyvinyl alcohol, is introduced into the water phase, surrounds the beads, and forms a protective wall. The walls are hardened through a chemical treatment to ensure stability. When the water is drained off and the beads are dried, a powdery residue is left, which is, in fact, micro-encapsulated beads of oil. Of the many applications of micro-encapsulation, one can think of the agricultural industry, the industrial industry, pharmaceuticals, foods, flavors, medicines. I'm going to show you dry water. This indicator paper will turn blue if there's water present. Watch me crush it. Voila, blue paper, presence of water. Capsulated systems has developed a chemical locking device for threaded fasteners. This material has been applied to a threaded fastener so that when a nut is screwed upon this on the thread, the epoxy reacts with its curing agent and chemically locks itself within 24 hours. Such that the nut will not be removed. I'm placing on this piece of paper some micro-encapsulated inorganic dye. With that in the second bottle, I'm placing a co-reactive, an acid. As I break these capsules, I generate ink. Micro-encapsulation is such a large, large area that I cannot perform or cover its capability in my short lifetime. This whole concept of micro-encapsulation is starting. It's in its infancy. And I think that and hope and dream that there will be some youngsters, high school, college, and graduates who will pursue this technology to its fullest extent in their own way, in their own time. One can hold a flame close to micro-encapsulated gasoline and not have it burn. I demonstrated one principle that I have eliminated, if not reduced, the availability of vapor. The vapor around a volatile solution is the cause of explosions. So you see that technology goes on and on, all for the purpose of just bettering mankind. Creating new technology is difficult, but obstacles can be overcome as we've learned from these people. Each of them had a dream, and they pursued that dream until it became a reality. Abraham Lincoln said, the patent system added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius. As we approach the last decade of the century, we hand the torch of innovation and imagination to a new generation of creators, potential inventors, people like you, will pursue their dreams till they become reality. Invention is the bullet grabber, and the pilot is supposed to be the person who finds the wars and he sits up here. And then when he spots them, he sends a message down to these two guys who operate the magnet. One is supposed to pick up the little guns and rifles, and this is supposed to pick up the big bombs and cannonballs. Invention is a phone for blind people. I thought that if there was a phone for blind people, that I wouldn't have to call for my grandfather, and so I made big numbers. I put foil over umbrella, and the person would be cooler than using a regular umbrella. I thought a lot about and said to myself, if only I had a drawstring shower curtain, I just could have pulled the string without standing. And this is how it closes by just pulling the string. My invention is the no hands umbrella. I got the idea because my mother didn't like to hold an umbrella, so I hooked it to my back. And I got this little tube, and I put it in, and I got these belts, and I just strapped it to him.


Yes, people who are expecting this level of emotional IQ and they're with someone this level, oftentimes create aggravating circumstances which is called drama. Okay, now coming back to your question.  That's right. They have difficulty expressing their actual feelings. Men in particular happen to be rather emotionally constipated. It's not that they're not capable of it but we haven't been given, most men were taught to stuff their emotions, keep it stuffed in, we weren't allowed to be very expressive. So I do believe men and women combined can be very challenged when it comes to expressing their emotions.


I'm speaking about data protection and security and compliance for NoSQL databases. Specifically, today we're going to be talking about MongoDB support, so how we can provide a data security and compliance solution for MongoDB. So the things that I've been hearing as I've been sitting and talking to people, I'm seeing a lot of people here who are sort of at the leading edge, either at the research areas of their companies or some people have come on their own because they want to be at the leading edge. So I'm hearing a lot about people just wanting to understand the different technologies and a lot of good discussion about the architectures and how to deploy these solutions. How I think it will evolve, well, what I think will happen is that it will consolidate, there will be a few perhaps major players, but regardless of what happens, I think it is going to move more and more into the enterprise, become more business critical, and for that reason, I mean, involve that coupled with the data compliance and privacy issues and all the current standards that are out there. My product, which is to help people comply with those standards, will continue to evolve along with those NoSQL databases so that these companies can do things like roll it out into the enterprise and use it for protecting customer data, financial data, any sensitive data for competitive purposes. So I think we're going to be right there along with the industry as it evolves. I think I've learned that there is still a lot of questions about where this industry is going and which should I pick, and there's just a lot, I think a lot of people here are searching for answers. And what I came here to find out was, you know, are the vendors, the NoSQL vendors, starting to talk more about governance or are there other people talking about governance and security and privacy? And I think I am seeing that happening. It is definitely starting to evolve as a topic.


Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty. Tell us a little bit about yourself. What was your path on this? How did you get involved with this organization? How did it start? And what are some of the challenges you face? Sure. So in 2007, no, 2007. Yeah, 2007. Late 2007, my wife and another couple, we were out in the desert on federal land. And we were camping and off-roading and shooting and, you know, doing everything, doing nothing illegal, doing everything right, you know, cleaning up after ourselves. We were in an area that was okay to shoot and off-roading. And a law enforcement officer harassed me. It was really what happened. He came and was ready to arrest me over a pump action shotgun that he said was illegal. And when I showed him, you know, that he was wrong, very politely and professionally that no, my shotgun was completely and totally legal. He kind of, the attitude, I guess, towards what we were doing is if we were doing something wrong rather than doing something that I felt more people should be doing, you know, the fact that he was ready to arrest me, even though I had had a conversation with him afterwards and found out, you know, I was being very polite and nice and everything.  I mean, this guy had the upper hand. He's a federal agent. He could have arrested me.   I was very polite, fresh home friendly. And come to find out he was a gun guy and he actually came to that same chunk of land with his friends and did the same thing and didn't agree with the laws that he didn't understand and was ready to arrest me over. And that was heartbreaking. I can't put it any other way. It was not just, it didn't just make me angry. It wasn't just inconvenient. It was a very, it was an emotional experience that this guy was, you know, all it took for him to sell his principles down the road was a government check. That's all it took. So I went back and told coworkers and friends what had happened to me over the weekend and their attitude was disheartening as well. They were, I kind of got this, well, what were you doing out there with guns?  That whole thing, I knew right then and there, things have to change. And I jumped in with both feet. I got involved. The NRA had some local meetings, joined their group, joined the Republican Party, joined a bunch of different campaigns and just got as involved in politics as I possibly could. Did some things right. Did some things wrong. Made some mistakes. Learned from the mistakes. And then back in about 20s, it was 2017, got together with some others that said, hey, we're going to start an organization. We're going to start a second amendment organization that basically that has the same traits, has the same characteristics as some of the other political organizations in town. But we focus on the second amendment. When we started, all the organizations that were really making things happen when it comes to public policy, were really just focused on tax policy. And that's fine. But there are a lot of people that don't get all charged up about tax policy. They do get charged up over their civil rights. And there were a lot of gun owners who said, you know what? Republicans aren't doing anything. We had one party that took us for granted, the Republican Party. And another party that thought we were evil, the Democratic Party. And then we had the Libertarian Party that was completely ineffective and did absolutely nothing of any kind for anybody. I mean, it was just, the San Diego Libertarian Party, at least at the time, was a book club. You know, they'd get around in a meeting and six or seven of them would talk about some book they read and there's a lot of hand-ringing and then they'd all go home. You know what? We have to do something here. So we pulled, you know, different characteristics from these other groups which involved money and people. The only two tools you have in politics are money and people. If you have great ideas and you have no money and no people, they don't get implemented. If you have horrible ideas and you have a ton of money and people, you turn into California. They get implemented. So we decided, you know what? That's what we're going to emphasize. We're going to have a full-time staff. We're going to get as many people as members as we can. We're going to raise as much money as we can. We're going to have a budget to help politicians directly get involved, get elected, I should say. You know, and that was the basic idea but then a lot of things came of it. We turned into the Second Amendment community or anytime media has to, you know, needs a comment. You know, they'd go find the weirdest looking person they could find, you know, and they would ask him some complicated political question and whatever his answer was, they'd put it on the six o'clock news. And now they have a professional source that gives thoughtful answers who understands, you know, the nuance and can sit down and explain to them and their viewers why things are good or bad. So that came about. Orange County and Inland Empire, that's Riverside and San Bernardino County, saw what we were doing. We expanded into those counties. So there's Orange County got owners and Inland Empire got owners. We found out that, you know, people would make it to 40, 50 years old and never have touched a gun. So we do these educational shooting socials where we teach adults how to shoot a gun for the first time. So and we have a women's program called Not Me.  She'll get you to a store and show you how to buy a gun. She'll find training for you. She'll help you fill out the application to get a carry permit. And if any of that is cost prohibitive, we'll find a discount or a grant. And I gotta tell you, the thing I am most proud of with this organization is we are no nonsense, we're all firsts and get the job done. There's not a lot of pontificating and complaining and, you know, we're not a book club. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always. Thank you.


Here's what's interesting, right? When you look at studies on what men and women find attractive, even women say this about men that they like to have, that they like well-developed glutes. Now, why is that? It's a sign of health. It's a sign of power to power performance, functionality. So unlike other body parts that we, you know, we try to change with injections or whatever, although they do have glute implants now, which is interesting. It really is just a reflection of your fitness and your health. That's also why that's become a popular thing now to do the surgeries because, because it is, you know, we're drawn to that already. And so people have, you know, not everybody wants to do the work for it. So they artificially do it. Now, here's the thing. I've trained lots of people. I've been doing this for over 20 years. I've always succeeded at building a woman's glutes. If that was her goal, I've always succeeded with it. Now that didn't mean there weren't challenges and struggles, but it's not a hard. It's not. It's not a muscle. It's a big, it's not like calves.  It's a big muscle. And if you feed it and train it correctly, it grows. All right. Here's the giveaway for today. Now in this episode, we talk about building your butt. So it only makes sense that we give away our best butt building bundle. It's called the build your butt bundle. This includes maps, anabolic and maps aesthetic. And they're tweaked for people who really want to focus on building their butt. Here's how you can win. Leave a comment below in the first 24 hours that we dropped this episode, subscribe to this channel, turn on your notifications, do all those things.  Also, we've made that bundle 50% off for everyone else. So if you're watching this episode, you want to focus on your glutes.  Um, and you want to follow those programs. You can get it for 50% off. This promotion will expire Sunday. So right when we dropped this episode, it's going to expire Sunday, uh, April 10th. So this isn't going on for long. It's 50% off. Here's what you do. If you want to sign up for it, go to but bundle.com and then use the code, but 50 B U T T five zero. No space for that discount. All right. Here comes the rest of the show. You want to know what's funny? Uh, we all saw this in our careers. The evolution of desirable body parts to build in, uh, in people and in women in particular, we went from, I literally remember starting as a trainer at in 1997.  And then all of a sudden, and I think it was like 2000 shifted the arms, I think they don't like real sculpted tone arms. I think that was when Michelle Obama was real popular G.I. Jane even before that. Oh, right. Exactly. Do pull-ups or yet or Sarah Connor in a Terminator two, that did that a little bit. Okay. But it was like, no, I want to get my butt smaller.  Oh, cool. Jennifer Lopez completely changed that. Did they narrow it down to her? It was 100% 100%. It was our music video. Like after that, it became a thing that and, uh, Vita Guerrero, Vita Guerrero. There's a famous, that's a fit. That's all fitness. There is a there is a famous, uh, magazine picture of her getting out of the pool and her and it's her butt. And that thing went viral. I remember that. Yeah. And my buddies worked with her.  Like girls actually asked for that at one time, which sounds crazy right now. If you're, if you're under the age of 30, that sounds nobody says that sounds ridiculous to you.  They're part of a lumbel pelvic hip complex. They stabilize the body in terms of primates. One of the muscle groups that separates us from other primates is our ass, is our glutes. If you look at chimps and orangutans and gorillas as big and strong as they are, they don't have really small glutes because they don't walk up right. They don't run very quickly. So it's like these really, it's, it's these characteristic muscles that humans have. They give you stability and strength and in terms of athletics. And Justin, you're the, you're the, the hardcore athlete. I've got a funny story around that. You can tell me you can, you can almost always tell if an athlete's got explosive power. Oh, I've always said this. Yeah, I've always said this, especially like one of the guys on our team had like just enormous glutes and he was, he was the best player by far. Most explosive would honestly was, was the guy responsible for like all of the records broken in our school. And I attribute all to his glutes. Yeah. Well, this is so accurate that in, and I remember in my 20s as a trainer when I started to figure this all out and we used to play like pick up basketball games and like, I would intentionally not pick the, you know, you, when you're lining up, you're getting ready to play and you're like, okay, I got him. Yeah, I would never take the dude with like the biggest glutes because I didn't want to get dunked on. I didn't want to get lucky and it was always that guy. You know what I'm saying? It was always you got that just had the built, the built legs and glutes that would be just that much faster and more explosive than everybody. And it was always that dude. If there was someone that was going to make them turn around or every line up. No, you could always say it was always like, like you're saying there's always like somebody who has like, you know, abnormally large glutes, thighs and legs like that, that just stood out, especially this basketball, like everybody's pretty lean. You really see like a, like a lineman sized guy playing basketball. So you, the dude would be lean, but then he would be just built in his glutes and his legs. And you knew that dude was able to throw down or would be just so much faster. This is an important, it sounds like we're joking around whatever, but here's what's interesting, right? When you look at studies on what men and women find attractive, even women say this about men, that they like to have, that they like well-developed glutes. Now, why is that? It's a sign of health, it's a sign of power to power performance, functionality. So unlike other body parts that we, you know, we try to change with injections or whatever, although they do have glute implants now, which is interesting. Yeah, it really is just a reflection of your fitness and your health. So I encourage people to build this. That's also why that's become a popular thing now to do the surgeries because it is, you know, we're drawn to that already. And so people have, you know, not everybody wants to do the work for it. So they artificially do it. Yeah. Well, this is why I was behind the movement, because it's like actually a place of your body you can build and develop. Totally. It's not like, you know, when the boobs, boobs. Yeah, you could say it. Yeah. But how do I say it? Yeah. How do I say you can't grow boobs? Yeah. No, it's because it's not muscle. Yeah. Right. Now, now here's the thing. I've trained lots of people. I've been doing this for over 20 years. I've always succeeded at building a woman's glutes. If that was her goal, I've always succeeded with it. Now that didn't mean there weren't challenges and struggles, but it's not a hard. It's not. It's not a muscle.  It's a big muscle. And if you feed it and train it correctly, it grows. It will. Almost every single, I mean, every time I've ever done it with someone, so I'm sure someone listening or watching right now is like, what do you mean? Like I've been doing this for so long. It's not working for me. And why isn't it working for me? This isn't happening. So what we did is we listed out the main, and these are very common. What we're about to go through are very common reasons as to why in particular women often will say, Hey, I can't build my butt. I'm trying, and it's just not happening. Um, the very first one that comes to mind for me, and I really think that this is, is getting better, um, today than it was back when we're talking about when we first started. I know what you're going to say. Oh, this was always the problem. Lifting heavy. I mean, it was also the secret. So by the way, it was also the secret just to just build a body on a female because they were, they were so apprehensive to, to lift heavy weight because still back, you know, 20 years ago, lifting heavy weight equal big, you know, get big and muscular body. And no girl came in and said, Hey, I want to get all big and muscular looking back then. Nobody was saying that. So they just assumed that to build their butt, they would do these other, all these, you know, high right, light weight type of exercises and get the butt to burn, you know, and get that feeling, but not lift like heavy to build it. No, one of the worst myths, uh, really damaging myths to women in fitness is this idea and the fitness industry partially to blame is this idea that if you work out like quote unquote, like a man, you're going to look like a man. In other words, if you lift heavy, you're going to build these huge muscular, uh, arms and shoulders and back. You're not going to look feminine. This is a terrible, terrible myth because that simply does not happen. Now I know someone listening is thinking, what would you mean?  Like what are you talking about? Okay, we have to be very clear here that there is a spectrum. There's a spectrum of genetic ability to build muscle on one end of the spectrum. You have physical disabilities, like people who have real medical issues in their bodies, just don't repair and build muscle and way on the other end. Those are rare, by the way. Those are extremely rare. Like, you know, think right now how many people you know or you've met in real life that have those types of genetic issues, right? Very rare. On the other end of the spectrum, as rare or possibly even more rare are people that just build muscle like, like so fast and so easy. Super, it's more rare than people who are naturally seven feet tall. The problem is we look at magazines and we look at social media and we're led to believe that that is so common, that, oh my gosh, if I just, you know, if Mrs. Johnson goes and does eight heavy reps of squats, she's going to wake up tomorrow and look like, you know, Miss Olympia, doesn't happen. It just does not happen. You can train like a bodybuilder. You could eat like a bodybuilder. You could do all that stuff for years and years and years and 99.9% of people watching this are just going to look the way that they've always wanted to look, which is good. Sculpted, have some shape. None of them are going to look like that Miss Olympia. I also think that part of the reason too is, I mean, just imagine for a second, you know, a female client of yours hires you or comes in and starts working out in the gym and her body fat percentage is higher than she wants and she also wants to build a butt, right? That's not, that's a very common. Yeah, yeah. I'm not as lean as I would like and I would like to build a butt and they listen to advice to go lift heavy and they go do that. And temporarily when they're in the gym, they air up the fluid. You got blood, the blood, they get this pump and their legs feel big and tight and they feel their pants out. So I do think some of this is psychological reinforces that fear. That's right.   Not only that, but to add to that, women's pants and jeans are not designed for athletic female women that have some hamstring, some glue, a little bit of quad, forget like massive just some muscle. That's both sex. And so that's true for both. You're right. But especially for women.  Now your jeans, which were designed for flat butt or no butt, start to feel tight. Oh my gosh, I'm getting too big. And I've had women come to me and say, okay, Sal, I know I lost four percent body fat. I know I'm leaner. My jeans aren't fitting. And I used to tell them I say what about the waist of your jeans? Oh yeah, that's way looser. Okay, don't worry about it.   The truth is building muscle is such a slow arduous, hard process simply because building muscle requires more energy to be consumed to survive your bodies. Our bodies evolved with scarcity.  They want to become more efficient. So it's a hard long, slow process. And so if your goal is to build your butt, what you want to do is you want to train in the most effective way possible, which will still make it happen slowly, but it'll happen faster than if you avoid those effective techniques. If you're fearful and say, I can't train heavy, I'm scared of getting big. Now it's not just going to take a long time. It's never going to happen. So you want to train in the most effective muscle building way possible, which is to lift heavy. You want to train with a high intensity. You want to keep your reps. You can go as low as two or three reps as high as 15 reps. But once you start to get much higher than especially when you get above 30 reps with lightweight, the muscle building is just slows way down. You're just not as effective. It does take a little bit of time to learn proper technique. And I think the some of the reservations is a reservation. Thank you. Reservations that a lot of women have had is that it's just barbell training in general, you know, it takes proper technique. It takes the educational process and like going through that. But it's so worth it. It once you establish good form and good technique, that's something that you know, will you can build this foundational muscle that you wouldn't have had otherwise. Dude, I'm going to tell you when we in tell me if I'm wrong, when we first became trainers, once you started to figure this out, it was easier to give women results that is way easier because all of them did that. None of them trained heavy. And all you had to do was have him trained. That's right. And that's part of the part of the reason that this is so important is because it speaks to the point that we always make on the show, which is the importance of novelty. Yeah. Right. So the reason why this works so well and why this is so important to listen to and then to go apply this if you if you're this person, right, is because most women were not lifting heavy. They weren't lifting heavy at all. And just simply doing that is going to get the body to respond. Not to mention that is going to be the best way for you to build the glutes and build muscle. But that's even even more so when you never do that. So now if someone's listening right now and they train really heavy on a regular basis and you're a woman and you try to build, you're going to get less from this advice because that simple reason. But that's not most that's not most female clients. Most female clients have avoided that, you know, three reps or five rep range. Just look at the programs that are out there. The majority are booty band driven or high reps or yeah, it all kind of stemmed I think from like sort of that jazzer size generation. Yeah, there was a lot of at home multiple reps type program. Well, that's the next point that is the wrong exercises or wrong movements. I mean, it's just you're doing these exercises that I think that you feel and they burn.  You don't get a massive pump from it. You don't build a lot of muscle from it. So you don't feel the legs expanding. You don't feel that, but you feel this burning sensation. So you think, Oh, I must be building that muscle. And so you continue to do those type of exercise and burn fat, right? They sound the same. Yes. If I burn, if the muscle burns, I must be burning fat. And that's not what's happening at all. They're not connected whatsoever.  It doesn't come from doing lots of reps and feeling a burn in a particular muscle. If if lifting heavy, if telling women that lifting heavy would make them look like guys, so they need to stay away from lifting heavy. If that's the worst myth, the second worst myth is that there's exercises that men do and there's exercises that women do. That is so wrong. There are effective exercises and there's less effective exercises. That's it.  If a barbell squat, which happens to be one of the most effective lower body exercises, that's effective for a man. It's effective for women as well. It's effective for both of them for their goals. There is no female barbell dumbbell machine exercise. Now they market them that way.  In fact, if you look at the machines themselves, here's what's funny. When I noticed this, you go to the gym and they didn't do this back in the day, but now a machine will have a little picture of either like, like an illustration of a person doing the exercise. You could see, oh, that's how you do it. Go to the abduction adduction machine. It's a female model.  It's a female model.   So they know, and this is what they're marketing to, and it just feeds into this terrible myth. And so what happens is women for a long time have done the least effective exercises, which is silly.  Definitely nobody. And most people are going to pick a shovel and go with the backhoe. I really think though it has a lot to do with what they feel, right? Like, okay, let's let's take two examples. And we both know or we all know exactly what is going to be way more beneficial for building the glutes. But take, take the same client and you do three sets and three like fast sets where they're 30 second rest periods and she does frog pumps. Yeah, just three to 20 reps, 20 reps of frog pumps for three sets, 30 second rest between there. What do you know is happening? Ass is on fire, right? Take that same person. Okay. And instead we're going to do three sets of five by, you know, five by five type of squats, right?  What do you think you're going to get told? Yeah, the opposite of what's most effective because you feel it more. And that to me, that's the real hurdle here is that you it's really tough when there's already this myth out there that you've heard for so long. So you already have a bias. That's right. You already have a bias going in. But oh, I'm open minded. I heard these guys on Mind Pump saying this. So I'm going to go do these these squats for three to five sets, you know, five reps. And after they do them, they're kind of like, I don't even know if I really felt it in my body.  But what they don't realize is these compound lifts stimulate the body and create such a loud signal for you to recruit even more muscles to be to contribute to this. And so it tells the body, oh my god, there's much more demand. This is a much more taxing situation we need to build to be able to make our way through this crazy environment. There's no comparison. Look, you go back to my digging a whole analogy. Which one are you going to feel more digging a hole with a spoon or using a backhoe? Right? At the end of it? Hey, which one? Hey, which one made you work harder? The spoon?  The guy over there with the backhoe who said he didn't feel anything. It was super easy. He did the 10 feet. So stop basing it so much on how you feel. And I'm not saying ignore your body, but look at the results. But the best exercise, the exercises by far that are the most effective in the context of building the butt barbell squats, hip thrusts, deadlifts and variations of those. So you can go split stance type squats, which are lunges or Bulgarian squats, right? All the variations of barbell squats, all the variations of deadlifts from stiff legged to single legged to sumo, right? Good morning. Good morning. Those exercises right there. Only those will build your butt to a great degree. You can do one million other exercises that promises you that and none of the inco and none of the combinations of the other exercise will even compare. I'll tell you what, you do barbell squats and hip thrusts by themselves. You can do 10 other exercises in your workout and you'll build more muscle in your butt and get better results and get it rounder and more shapely with those two that I just said. That's the difference between effective exercises that we're talking about. Well, there's another massive hurdle or elephant in the room here, I think is so go back to that original client I said that comes in because this has got to be like one of the most common things is come in and a female client tell me, Adam, I want to shrink my waist or I want to lose some fat, but I also want to build my butt. So this presents a challenge not only for the client, but even for the trainer. Okay, well, what do I do here? Because I know that in order to build a muscle, we need to be in a caloric surplus. You have to have extra fuel. That's right. Right. So and that's to build any muscle, whether it be the butt, the biceps, the shoulders, the cat. It doesn't matter if you are going to build okay, anabolic refitus. That's right. We need to feed it. It needs to be in a surplus in order to add tissue. So if that's what we're going to do, we have to be in a caloric surplus. But then I also know if my goal is to lose body fat and be catabolic, the opposite is true. I've got to be in a calorie reduction, right? Or and be in a calorie burn, right? So if you get a client that says that as a trainer, you have to make this decision. Okay, which way do I go first or how do I communicate this to my client on what we should be doing? There's two ways to do this. One is let me make the client happy. So I'm just going to have them burn calories and get them to lose an initial five pounds, because that's what people associate with success. The second way to do it is the experienced trainer, which says building muscle is going to get your body to burn more calories naturally. Let's do that. First, the fat loss is going to be easier if we start with the building. Okay.  They can't eat too much. It's scary. It's scary. Look, I understand this from the opposite perspective as a kid. I was skinny and I was afraid of being too skinny. So I was always trying to eat more, which actually prevented me from ever really getting super lean until I got much older because if I got, if I lost two pounds on the scale, mess on my head, oh, better start eating every, you know, every other hour. So on the opposite end, I understand that, but you have to eat enough to build muscle. It ain't going to happen. You could have the best workout. You could be on to all the steroids you want even. You don't feed your body enough. You're not going to build any muscle. So and this is a big one. And most women, when they start working out and you ask them, have you ever tried to purposely gain? Yeah. No, it's always on accident, right? No, no, I don't try to feel back. I mean, we had one episode just geared towards a shooting ball in bulk. Yes. And it was like mind blowing, and because nobody's talking about that. And it is so true. It's like, why would you go into a building type of programming and you're not feeding yourself adequate amount of nutrients? Like, how are you going to pull this off? You need to have the materials in order to build the desired outcome.  I would never put her in a cut to start. No, never. No, which is no, because building helps by the way, though, that's a really hard thing for a young trainer to try and communicate. Right. You got someone walks in. There's the we know we need to lose body fat. They know they need to lose, but they admit it. They don't like where they're at. They don't like how they feel. And they're like, hey, I need to lose a significant amount of body fat. Please help me. But I also want to build a butt. We're good. We're going into calorie surplus. And I think that is just so hard to communicate that to somebody who thinks that, oh my God, I'm already overeating. Look at me. I need to drop down, but then also has this goal of building a butt. But you as as an experienced trainer, you know that like your point, Sal, if I if I get her to focus on increasing her caloric intake and building muscle, even if it's for a short period, just for a couple months that we focus in that direction, if I can add three to five or maybe get lucky and add seven pounds of muscle on her body in that period of time, the her metabolism is going to be so much faster that when we decide to cut and go the opposite direction and reduce calories, she's going to drop weight even faster than if I would have said, okay, let's first cut down and then we'll try and build the butt. Yeah. And it took me a little while to figure that out as a trainer because I just was failing. You know, you get the initial 10 pound weight loss.  Yeah, rather than what they need. Yeah, exactly. You you fall prey to like, well, I do know if I if I restrict your calories and I make her butt burn, I can make her lose 10 pounds. That's right. She'll lose 10 pounds.  Oh, we must be training my butt like I asked. And so I think a lot of trainers fall into this trap of giving the client what they want versus giving them what they need or what they should do for their their ultimate goal. Think of it this way, right? The when you work out, you're sending the signal that says, let's build. So imagine it this way, right? You're trying to build.  OK, so that represents your body. And so what you do is you send the plans over with no material.  Here's the plans. You got the work and they're all ready to go. All right, we know what we need to do and then have no brick. Shit, who father who forgot the wood? No wood. They have no, you know, no, no concrete. They have nothing to work with half the supplies, right? Yeah, they just going to sit there. They're just going to sit there with the plans. Nothing's going to happen or make it even worse. You start to starve the workers. And now the workers are like, in order to survive, we got to go. We got to start taking. We got to start taking bricks off of other stuff. Start eating the bricks. Yeah. And so so you can't. It's building without eating or feeding in your body enough is impossible. So you got it. So oftentimes again, this is and this is third for a reason. This is the third reason when we would come to me. And sometimes it's this was pretty rare. Usually it was that we're not lifting heavy enough for doing the right exercises. But oftentimes I'd look at sometimes I get a client. I'd look at their work. I'd be like, OK, squatting and deadlifting. That looks good. OK, you're you're you're lifting heavy enough. This looks pretty good. Let's look at your diet. And I look at their diet. I'm like, OK, you're eating 100 colors. Yeah. This isn't going to happen. We got to and I would just have them eat more.  OK, so this next one is more common today than ever because and look, there's definitely been some progress in the fitness space. Women, nobody lifted heavy before. Nobody did barbell. Not just women. Men didn't even do barbell squats or deadlifts before, let alone women eating enough. That's still an issue, but less so today than it was before. You see some female fitness influencers now promoting eating more protein and bumping up calories. But here's the one now that I see it's a little bit more common, which is that they lack connection to their glutes in the sense that when they do those really effective exercises, rather than the barbell squat hitting the glutes, it hits more quads rather than, you know, a lunge doing what it's supposed to do with the butt. Again, it's building the quads more. This is where you're ready for this. We're going to go back a little bit on what we said earlier, but I'll explain why. This is where all those exercises that we made fun of earlier in this episode, the frogs, the purpose, that's what those are for. Those exercises teach your body to connect to your glutes. So that when you do your squats, your deadlifts, your hip thrusts, now you can target those the muscles that you're trying to work. So that's the value. And I want to be clear. There's definitely way more effective muscle building exercises than other. But all exercises have value if used properly. Those exercises that are sold to women are terrible muscle builders. But many of them are great at getting you to connect to your butt. So how does this work?  Not fatiguing it.   Now you've got better technique. Now you're making them glute squats, not just quad squats. This is the hardest one, I think, for us to help people via podcasting, right? The other one, I think, is like we could communicate. Yeah. The other three is like very straightforward to eat, eat more calories, do the right exercises, lift heavy. Like if you weren't doing those things, you take that advice, you can definitely see the difference. This is the one that I get where I were having a coach or a trainer or somebody who is, you know, experienced to be able to help you with the mechanics, because this is the, and this is, I feel like the first half of my career, the front three things that we talked about were like all of the conversation. Now, it'd be like your point, Sal, like people are squatting and deadlifting now. They're doing the right movements. I mean, Brett Contreras is famous on social media. So you know to do these type of movements to build a butt. And so the communication is out there now, but that there still are people that are challenged with this. They're like, hey, I'm doing all these things you're saying, I'm eating in a surplus. I'm lifting heavy.  And this is just the area where it's like, OK, and it's common in both men and women is we're not able to get the glutes to fire properly. And then to your points that's where you use an exercise like a frog pump. And instead of saying comparing the frog pumps to the barbell squats and saying, OK, which is better? Or I'm going to either take this path or that path that this is where you marry these or they were they both have values. OK, I'm going to take my client who has a really hard time getting their their glutes to fire. We're going to do a one set, you know, of those frog pumps for 15 to 20 reps just to get that burn going. And then we're going to move over to the barbell squats and then have them do the exercise. Yeah, that mind, muscle connection is so important to establish in the beginning. And again, this is where it's real helpful to have a coach to have those eyes to kind of, you know, see your your mechanics. So to a big point with the back loaded squat is depth and full range of motion. So if we're not really breaking parallel, you know, we're not asking quite enough out of the glutes to contribute. And so there's just things like that, that even though maybe you have a weight like you woke them up and you got the recruitment process started with these pumps or these, you know, lateral tube walking or whatever it was.  Well, that's part two of these exercises to help you connect, which is they improve your connection and mobility. They improve your functional flexibility. So like, you know, let's say you do have issues with going below 90 degrees on a barbell squat. And we know this for a fact that squats going all the way down, proper squats going all the way down will activate the glutes way more than a parallel squat or squat that squat that's above parallel. So what if and I'm going to use I'm going to illustrate an example. This isn't everybody, but some people they can't go all the way down because they lack ankle mobility. OK, so in this case, I'm going to do yeah, I'm going to do an ankle mobility exercise like a combat stretch before I do the squats, get to the point where my ankle mobility is now a little better. Now I can break parallel and activate my glutes a little bit more, right? What if I combine that? Oh, it's my ankle mobility. Plus I don't feel my glutes anyway. Let me do my combat stretch. Let me do my frog pumpers or let me do my lateral tube walking or let me do my body weight single leg hip thrust. Get those glutes to fire. Get my ankles out of the way. Boom. Now that barbell squat that's so effective. I'm I'm getting the real benefit of those barbell squats. I'm getting the maximum benefit. This is also an example, though, too, where you would use things like squat, squat shoes or elevated heels to to do a squat because someone has a specific goal like this. And you know that working on ankle mobility is going to take time and I can right away get to starting to get the glutes to fire. So there's a great example because we're all we're I mean, we're not we're not promoting tools like that that often. But herein is an example client who let's say that's their specific goals, like I said earlier about losing body fat building the glutes. And then let's say that the one of the first big hurdles we see is that oh, they can't break 90 degrees because they limit ankle mobility. So obviously we're doing combat stretch. We're working on that. But what I know is that one session of combat stretch is not going to get my client into the proper depth to get the glutes firing right away.  Yeah. And that's it. But with the ultimate goal of I'm going to get this ankle mobility there to where she no longer needs these squat shoes or no longer needs to elevate the heels. But temporarily why we're doing these barbell squats and we're not getting past 90 even with us priming in that session with their combat stretch. This is where I'm going to allow something like that or I'm going to use a tool like that. We gave examples earlier of the best most effective exercises. As Adam said earlier, that was a much more straightforward. I'm going to give some good priming examples. What we're talking about right now is priming. So when you do a movement before your most effective movement to help you do the effective movement basically you're priming your body. That's that's the terminology. So I'm going to give some some general good priming movements. Now the problem with what I'm about to do is that it's much more individualized than what we said earlier, you know, squats, deadlifts, hip thrust, like they build best butts in everybody. Okay. So long as they can do and they build the best butts in everybody. What I'm about to talk about are generally good priming movements before you train exercises for your butt. The only problem again is that it's very individual. Okay. So they this may or may not work for you. But I'm going to pick the most common ones. I already mentioned combat stretch. That typically helps a lot of people with better depth in a lot of these butt building exercises. 90 90 with external internal rotation that tends to help with hip connection and hip mobility which sometimes gets in the way or even core stability can help with some people.   You could pick two of them.  What would you guys say is the most common ones that you would use to prime or that you that you found most effective when you're when you're teaching somebody like this. I mean obviously those are the ones that I mean for me it was like those those would be the most effect usually. But man sometimes it's so it's so different from person to person. I've had clients that I had to to to prime their adductors which is not common. It's usually abductors. But I've had clients I've had to prime their adductors. That's really very squeeze like a basketball or something. Yeah. So it's like that's what I mean. It's so individual right. Yeah. You take that person if I took that person I do two blocks it would have made them worse. I mean in my yeah I think in my opinion two blocks are one of the one of the main ones are leg swings or anything to get them to promote opening up their hips as they drop in the hole. I think one of the most common things you say and this is men and women is that you just lateral stability. Yeah. Yeah. I mean we just we just locked that and because we lack that what ends up happening is is naturally as you drop down into a squat the knees collapse in for leverage. They collapse in and really you're you're shutting off the gloomy right. Your butt has three parts right. And that's one of the muscles that give you that kind of heart shape or allow you to see the butt from the front is that muscle. That's what keeps the knees from collapsing inward. So priming that muscle to be firing when you go into a squat. I would say is one of the most common that I think I use with almost every one of my clients before we get into. Yeah I would agree. I would agree. Now this last part this is where it gets a little complicated. And this is that there's a lot of bad workout programming. OK. So what does that mean. Workout programming is encompasses all the components of a workout which include how many sets of the exercises you do. How many reps you do the tempo. So like how fast you do the reps. The order of the exercises in the workout how each day communicates to each day during the week. I did this workout today. How does that affect tomorrow's workout that I'm supposed to do. Right. As well. Does it phase. Does it change. I do this for three weeks or four weeks. Then I change to something else. All these factors all work together to make a workout very effective or make it make a workout totally ineffective. I mean you could actually have everything be identical in two workouts and just have the exercise order be totally off or have the volume be totally different like one factor. It will make the whole workout not effective. Yeah. One thing I always see in a lot of these types of programming that's like glaring for me right away is the lack of recovery emphasis and you know strength focus and rest period.  You know as many reps as possible get the burn. Even if you are doing compound lifts it's just you know the tendency a lot of times is to just I need to be doing something right now instead of you know adequately applying that rest period so your body can get the right signal. I think that's the move with this point to be is to actually share what poor programming looks like opposed to trying to explain what good programming looks like. I think trying to explain good programming to the audience right now is a lot more complicated and individualized because of all the nuances but I think communicating what to look out for as bad programming is is an easier way to say and at your point I think the most common things I see are tons of super sets. A lot of these circuits. Yeah. No rest. A lot of these burn type of exercises.  If you see any type of jumping or explosive movement in your workout and it is not a specific sports plyometric workout in other words a workout that was written for basketball players football like really written by good coach garbage throw it away. Jump lunges you see a lot of that bullshit in these types of this is why I think that you see you don't see a lot of women going for lifting heavy because it's they're thinking too much about what's next you know what's and so to keep loading weight doesn't make any sense because they're not going to be adequately recovered they're just so taxed. Now you know what's funny about this is back in the day you know before I you know we had created programs and stuff like this when I would have a family member asked me like what do I do what do I follow. Do I follow the shape magazine workout or I don't say look all those workout programs are garbage. I said if you want to follow a program that's actually give you good results some of the best programmed workouts out there are like power lifting. Yeah. So I'll tell my female family members do you know you know West Side Barbell powerlifting program and they'd be like what do you mean I don't want to be a power if I say look it's way more effective than anything else you're going to find and mainly because strength focused competitive type focused programs have to be good because otherwise people don't do them they go and they go to a meat either they're stronger they're not they outperform what they did last time or they don't otherwise it's all this kind of subjective you know kind of mumbo jumbo garbage. I will say this which is I find interesting and I've communicated I communicate this as a trainer oftentimes people are so willing to spend so much money on ineffective things like supplements and diet pills and powders. I used to tell people this all the time potential clients that say look you you buy two workouts with me for two hundred bucks. No. I get you're going to get way more value out of two hours with me than the two hundred dollars worth of diet pills that you bought that will last you a couple months I guarantee it at the very least I can teach you proper biomechanics and I can write down a very basic workout. It's going to give you way better results. So I like to tell people this if you invest in anything invest in a good workout program because at the very least it was written well the programming is the most of all the stuff that we talked about this is the most complex because we could literally do we could do 50 episodes on exercise programming and what'll end up happening is we'll be speaking to other high level trainers because it can get quite complicated. In fact we had a question the other day about working out and the guys was out of remember who it was we were talking to and they were saying how they weren't feeling very good.  Yeah it's going to make your back hurt. He's like that's sure enough what happened my back hurt my hamstring. You know I got a Charlie horse or whatever. So the workout programming part is the most complex. If you are going to invest in anything.

On March 11, 1947, Admiral Byrd wrote in his diary, I have just attended a staff meeting at the Pentagon. I had stated fully my discovery and the message from the master. All is duly recorded. The president has been advised. I am now detained for several hours, to be exact six hours 39 minutes. I am interviewed intently by top security forces and a medical team. It was an ordeal. I am placed under strict control via the national security provisions of this United States of America. I am ordered to remain silent in regard to all that I have learned on behalf of humanity. Incredible. I am reminded that I am a military man and I must obey orders. On Monday, we started to explore the mystery of what lies beneath our feet. The idea that our earth is possibly hollow. That episode will be down in the description box below as we now move into part two. But before we go any further, you know what to do. Please hit that subscribe button and give us a like.

My name is Bryce and today on part two of our series of Hollow Earth, we are going to be talking about agartha. Before we get started, I am back in my bedroom as I was on Monday and I appreciate all of you guys being so understanding of the fact that I had to move locations. Again, there is something going on in our front room and so I had to move back into the bedroom. I hope that the sound is okay and again I really appreciate your patience. These last couple of weeks have been very very hectic for not only me but for my boyfriend as well and so we're trying to work around each other as we continue to do a lot of our own work from home. Now as we venture into part two of agartha, I do want to note that there will be a video in the description box below from a bit chute channel that goes into the scientific study of gravity. Science is not my favorite subject. I'm not good at numbers. It's not my will house if you will. I'm more of a philosophy, history, literature type of person. Always have been, always will be. But if you want more information on the scientific study of the possibility of a hollow earth, please make sure to check out the video down in the link below. Admiral Richard Bird was born in 1888. He came from a long line of very prestigious people in the Americas. You see he was from a line of families who was one of the first families to settle the colony of Virginia. In fact it is said that Admiral Richard Bird was a descendant of Pocahontas and her husband John Rolf. Admiral Richard Bird would go on to win the Medal of Honor and be a very celebrated person in our American Navy. This was not a man who made up wild stories. This was a man who was very much respected by the American government and the American people. In 1947 Admiral Bird decided to take an expedition and fly over the North Pole. The North Pole is not accessible to many people nowadays. In fact in order to get that close to the North Pole or the South Pole you have to have special permission from all these governments who've arranged a treaty to keep the North and South Pole inaccessible to the average human. Upon Bird's arrival at the North Pole it appears that he ended up flying his plane down into a tunnel or a portal if you like. In fact it is said that he traveled 1700 miles into the center of the earth. It says that when he realized what was happening he lost control of the plane but then these other flying saucery ships showed up and started guiding his plane to land. Admiral Bird said even though they were coming from the North Pole where there was snow and ice all of a sudden the temperature changed and there was vegetation. There were mountains and rivers and lakes and animals. Not to mention when his plane landed he met the inhabitants of this mystical place that appeared to be in the center of our earth. They took Admiral Bird to their leader to their master who told them that they were greatly concerned about the condition of humanity up above them. Since the atomic bomb had been created and things like Hiroshima had happened they were greatly concerned that humanity would end up destroying itself and destroying the kingdom beneath humanity. They ended up telling Admiral Bird that they had allowed him into this mystical land inside the earth's center because of his character. It appears they wanted Admiral Bird to go back up to the surface and tell humans about this land in the middle of our earth that we were not alone that we shared this place with other beings. In 1947 Admiral Bird also said I would like to see the land beyond the pole the area beyond the pole that is the center of the great enigma. This place beyond the poles is also called by some cultures the rainbow city but its most famous name is that of Agartha. Admiral Bird would go on to lead another expedition in 1956 in the south pole to also try to get back to the kingdom of Agartha that is supposedly in the center of our earth. This time Admiral Bird got 2300 miles into the core of the earth. Now as you saw from the beginning as I read from part of Admiral Bird's diary he was quickly silenced by the military. He was reminded by the United States government that he was a soldier and a soldier's main duty is to obey orders. It seems like the United States government convinced Admiral Bird that by speaking about these beings that lived in the center of our earth would be traumatic for humanity. Therefore ignorance is bliss. However in 2021 we now know that our government should not be trusted and I have my suspicions on why they wanted to silence Admiral Bird. Well it seems that Admiral Bird's son potentially allegedly in my opinion might have felt the same way because after Admiral Bird died his son published his diary. You can see his full diary in a link in the description box below. As we talked about on Monday as we introduced this huge, huge mystery that literally concerns every single person on this planet the idea of a hollow earth or a kingdom within the hollow earth is nothing new. Our ancient ancestors collectively told stories and legends and folklore of beings coming from the inner earth. In fact if you google passages in the bible regarding the inner earth there are quite a few. Two that really caught my attention were Philippians 210. So that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth. And also Exodus 24 you shall not make for yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. Now we know that Admiral Bird spoke about rivers and lakes and all sorts of bodies of water existing in this kingdom within the center of our earth. So it seems that the information regarding Agartha has been in front of us the whole time. It truly is just like what Edgar Allen Post said. As mentioned in one of my sources I used to research this information the best place to hide something is always in plain sight. Another person to greatly believe in the idea of a kingdom inside of our earth was a 19th century occultist by the name of Alexander Saint Eves. Alexander Saint Eves believed in this idea that all of humanity was connected. That everybody affected everybody else. That basically we are all one. This is not a new concept to us today but in the 19th century that might have been quite a scandalous assumption to make about the state of humanity. Now Alexander Saint Eves was a Rosicrucian and a Freemason. And even though we know the Freemasons might not be that benevolent if you know what I mean I think we do have to take what they believe seriously because they have been responsible for helping to hide the truth from humanity. Now in 1885 Alexander Saint Eves claims that he had communication with a being who lived in Agartha. He claims that these beings in Agartha went down to Agartha in the year 3200 B.C. In fact out of all these claims there are basically two species from what I gather that allegedly live in Agartha. One is the Reptilian race. We're very familiar with the Reptilians, the Anunnaki, the Draco, the lizard people if you will, and the other would be a race of giants tall and lanky. Now whether these two species get along I have no idea. However in 1886 Alexander Saint Eves wrote a book documenting his communication with a being that lived in the center of our earth. After he wrote this book he ended up destroying every copy except for two fearing that humanity was not ready to hear the truth. He was definitely afraid that he had said too much and in fact he has quoted as saying that the kingdom in the center of the earth will be accessible to all mankind when Christianity lives up to the commandments. Alexander Saint Eves was not the only person to write about correspondence with the inhabitants of Middle Earth. In 1908 William George Emerson wrote the book The Smokey God. This was the biography of a Norwegian sailor named Olaf Jensen. Olaf Jensen allegedly sailed through the entrance of the North Pole and lived there for two years with its inhabitants who he claimed were 12 feet tall. Allegedly Olaf Jensen made this trip with his father on his way back on their way back to our plane of existence. His father did not make it. Now sadly Olaf Jensen once he returned to his home country was put into an ascent asylum for his claims of living in Middle Earth for two years. Another book written was that by Dr Raymond Bernard who wrote The Hollow Earth. This was regarding Dr Nefi Cotton of Los Angeles who had a Nordic patient with a similar story. In this story it is written by the Nordic patient. I lived near the Arctic Circle in Norway. One summer my friend and I made up our minds to take a boat trip together and go as far as we could into the North country. So we put a month's worth of food provisions in a small fishing boat and set to sea. At the end of one month we had traveled far into the north beyond the pole and into a strange new country. We were much astonished at the weather there warm and at times at night it was almost too warm to sleep. Then we saw something so strange that we were both astonished. Ahead of the warm open sea we were on what looked like a great mountain. Into that mountain at a certain point that ocean seemed to be emptying. Mystified we continued into that direction and found ourselves sailing into a vast canyon leading into the interior of the earth. We kept sailing and then we saw what surprised us a sun shining inside the earth. The ocean that had carried us into the hollow interior of the earth gradually became a river. This river led as we came to realize later all through the inner surface of the world from one end to another. It can take you, if you follow it, long enough from the north pole clear through to the south pole. We saw that the inner earth surface of the earth was divided as the other one is into both land and water. There is plenty of sunshine and both animal and vegetable life abounds there. We sailed further and further into this fantastic country. Fantastic because everything was so huge in size as compared with the things on the outside. Plants are big, trees are gigantic, and finally we came to giants. They were dwelling in homes and towns just as we do on the earth's surface and they used a type of electrical conveyance like a monorail car to transport people. It ran along the river's edge from town to town. Several of the inner earth inhabitants, huge giants, detected our boats on the river and were quite amazed. They were, however, quite friendly. We were invited to dine with them in their homes and so my companions and I separated. He going with one giant to the giant's home and I going with another giant to his home. My gigantic friend brought me home to his family and I was completely dismayed to see the huge size of all the objects in his house. The dinner table was colossal. A plate was put before me and filled with a portion of food so big it would have fed me abundantly for an entire week. The giant offered me a cluster of grapes and each grape was as big as one of our peaches. I tasted one and found it far sweeter than any I'd ever tasted outside. In the interior of the earth all fruits and vegetables taste far better and more flavor some than those we have on the outer surfaces of the earth. We stayed with the giants for one year enjoying their companionship as much as they enjoyed knowing us. We observed many strains and unusual things during our visit with these remarkable people and were continually amazed at their scientific progress and inventions. All of this time they were never unfriendly to us and we were allowed to return to our own homes in the same manner as which we came. In fact they courteously offered their protection if we should need it for the return voyage. Now Admiral Byrd himself also spoke of a son in the interior of the earth. And as you guys know from a very old video we did on the giants it is believed that the giants are still living in stasis in caves and caverns here on our planet today. If you have not seen those videos I will place them as well in the description box below. And speaking of the giants the legend of Gilgamesh states that he himself would go into the inner earth to visit his family his ancestors and we know Gilgamesh was giant. We also know that there was very interesting information regarding Gilgamesh in some emails written by Hillary Clinton in WikiLeaks. There also appears to be tunnels under the pyramid of Giza. In fact it was believed in Egyptian legend that the pharaohs were able to go into the tunnels to communicate and talk to the beings that lived down in the inner earth of Agartha. Now in the epic Indian story of Ramayana one of my personal favorite stories coming from all of this folklore from the Hindu faith it is believed that the avatar of Rama came up himself from the land of Agartha. The people of India also believed in a group of people called the Naga. These people were serpent like people. Interesting right since people who have had these experiences with the inner earth inhabitants speak of giants and reptilians and serpents reptilians kind of the same thing. So interesting. Now they believed that the serpent people were waging war with humanity. Now the name Agartha is a Buddhist name and the Buddhist people believe that many many many years ago people were led to the center of the earth by a leader. The capital of Agartha being a city called Shambhala where this leader allegedly still lives today. Now the people of Tibet the Buddhist people believed that the people of inner earth were way more advanced than humanity on the outer earth. Now something that was very very new to me is that they believe that the Dalai Lama is the terrestrial representative of the king the leader of Agartha and it is through one of their temples that's guarded by llamas that this tunnel still exists where the Dalai Lama communicates with the leader of Agartha but more on that in part four of our series of the hollow earth. Yes I know this is part two. There will be one more episode regarding the inner earth before we get to the interesting and somewhat scandalous story of the Dalai Lama. Now again I've got a lot of references down in the description box for you including Admiral Byrd's diary. In my opinion he seems to be the most reliable source. This was not a man that took to fantasy or whimsical ideas and for me the legends of Agartha are way more plausible than the idea of a flat earth even though an inner earth could also be in a flat earth as well. At the end of the day as I said on Monday I have no idea what the truth is anymore. I just want to know what the truth is. So what do you guys think of Agartha? Let me know down in the comment section below. I hope you all have a wonderful Friday and a fantastic weekend ahead. Thank you again to Josh McKay for doing our music. If you would like to purchase the full opening song there is again a link down in the description box below and as always thank you so much to Todd Roderick for helping me get this video out to you guys today. I hope you all again have a wonderful day and I will talk to you soon. Bye!


Alright boys, to be honest, I'm sorry about this one. I may have gotten this video idea from YouTube Thoughts. I'm pretty sure this is totally a girl video. I've definitely seen on my training page some chicks doing like assumptions about me. It's always like, I assume you're, I assume you get with all the boys. So I may possibly be completely robbing Thought Video ideas, but not playing Madden, so sue me. Now, I put it on my Instagram story. Let's go find it. Also, let me just say that my Instagram story today was absolutely hilarious.  All right, update. I don't know if you can hear me. If your pressure gets me and I hit the jewel one time and my peen decreased in size by four inches, worst decision in my life, we'll never do again. That's actually a fact. I never ever hit the jewel because jewel is not cool. Hit it one time, my peen went from five to one, like that. So if you're gonna hit the jewel, be ready. Like, hit the jewel, peen size. You make your own decisions, friends, but it's all I'm saying. She goes on, in case she says something metal gets in your lungs. I know this is a tangent, but she's hilarious. You have to see this. Yeah, sir, I'm trying to eat. Sir's me right. It's just, the band you have it, you get the metals in your lungs and you get the metals. There's so many bad things about it. Like, blockies everywhere. Don't jewel, not cool. Thank you for that, mama. All right, but what this video is about, I told you guys, yeah, I know the pictures really do. She, I'm really sorry.   Not that I know what that is, nor have I watched literally every single video on it. I might need to sanitize this thing Sticks! Yo, by the way, I get a question about this like every single day because people want my music on Spotify. I haven't, I don't have a lot of good playlists right now but my Spotify account, pretty sure my Spotify account's Matthew Maher. I'll make some playlists for you guys if you want to like listen to certain types of music. People always ask me for this. It's kind of random, but sorry. I need to start this video already. Pretty much only been listening to a lot of Delray though for being honest. All right, I'm gonna be honest. I know that about 90% of these are gonna be talking about my talk. All right, let's read, let's read some assumptions.  You're more chill and calm IRL and act energetic for better videos.  Anyone who knows you in real life knows I'm, I'm probably worse.  This dude is the homie, SR Guest 15. He actually like recreated my merch picture.  Guy's a stup. This is, if you guys didn't know, if you guys remember Justin Bro, this is his Instagram. Can't PKPVM get an infernal cape or last a full inventory at red cape without dying to PKers? I must say about 95% of you don't get that reference and if you don't that's totally okay but if you do, my OSR ST's names pop up pubes hit me up. Kaylee is your sister. Focusing on me, yes it is. Okay, we're good. Rich White Kid runs a YouTube channel while his parents pay for college. Yeesh, people try to become friends with you because you have clouds. Sometimes I do wonder that, not a lot. But then again I'm like wait, I don't have any friends. So how could they like me for my cloud if I don't have any? Best man YouTuber ever except for your boy pizza blocked. You're absolutely blocked. Rich boy, get those airpods out of.  Dude, what is this thing with the airpods? Kay, this is dead serious. What is this big old like, why does everyone think someone's clouding up on you if they're wearing airpods? People have been wearing Bose Quiet Comfort headphones. What? And the Beats Studios, Beats Studios are 300 and Bose Quiet Comforts are 300. Airpods are like 180. So I don't know where this thing came from but I always wear those, yeah, you're getting double flexed on at this point but I always wear those Bose Quiet Comforts when I record madness so I can't hear myself.  And now I wear airpods one time. Everyone wants. You get peer pressured by your mom to jewel even though it ain't cool. Mom, if you're watching this video, if you ever peer pressure me to jewel again, I don't even know what to say, to be honest. I really don't know what I could say to my own mother but jeweling isn't cool. You were a senior virgin, honestly boys. As much as I may be an absolute unit now.  Definitely not, that's not appropriate. At least now. But I was pretty close to being a virgin senior year at high school. If that makes you feel any better about yourselves. Actually jewels but says you don't. I would never jewel. 100% tells people after threatening them that my dad is a lawyer. Wanna hear something hilarious? Like dead serious? My dad is actually a lawyer. I would never say this to anyone. I would never say that to someone being serious. But he actually is a lawyer. So that counts for anything. Lightweight? You think I'm 652.45 and a lightweight still? That's not even how it works, bro. I am a total lightweight. I mean I just turned 21 so I just had my first ever sip of alcohol. So obviously I'm a lightweight, right mom? Show this to my mom. Everyone send this to my mom. Alcohol's bad mom? These are so sus. None of these are appropriate enough to read. You act completely different on camera than in real life. This is like vaguely true but vaguely not. It's hard to explain. I think a lot of people assume that YouTubers act different on camera but I don't think you realize how hard it is unless you're literally playing a character. Like you know those people who have a character as they're actually acting as someone else? You don't know how hard it is to be two different people. It would be very difficult for me to be a different person on camera than I am in real life because you can't act for that long especially when you're recording like gameplay videos so I'm very, if you ever meet me in real life I will be pretty damn close to what you see on camera. I promise you. By the way if you ever see me in real life please no matter what I'm doing come say hi. Like some people are kind of weird about that I don't know but like I don't care what I'm doing you can totally come say hi you will not be bothering me. I will gladly like say what's good. Dude the amount of these that say I'm six five, two 45 is unreal. That person who plays basketball and has all the gear but none of the talent. I kind of want to make a one-on-one basketball bed so if any of you are in the Grand Rapids area hit me up. I do not think that you were a kicker. I know it's like the lamest position but it's also the coolest position. You know what I mean? Shout out Destroying by the way.  That is the coolest thing ever congratulations bro. That's nuts.  Honestly definitely glowed up in my opinion but I think everybody thinks they glowed up because that's what puberty is supposed to do for you presumably. I don't know if you guys watched the vlog but before I got my ear surgery I had a really bad acne and before the ear surgery I was a corn ball. You will have an IG thought daughter. Honestly that's my biggest fear and please don't ever say that to me again because I am so scared about happening. Dude imagine you are a father and you work so hard with your wife to raise a daughter and then she turns into summer Ray like. I didn't edit for you a long time ago and never heard from you again. Ow Chad hits home. I gotta send you a message I'm sorry man. I assume you boy pizza let you win. Here's the thing guys. You know damn well he was trying just as hard as I was in that game. That was a legit game. Can easily bench 650 pounds. When you're something sad I think right now I'd probably bench more than I could squat. It's real sad. When you are near I quiver in my shoes because my girl's stud sensor just went through the roof.  Ever. We're homies now I would never do that to you. I wish she would come back into my life as my father. Bro I'm going to get milk and I will be right back. The milk store was completely out of milk two more years down the road is another milk store. I'll go two years that way get the milk come two years back I'll be back.  Smash or pass boy edition. I'll be honest I really wanted to make another smash or pass but now that I am actually working for Pepsi with this internship I feel like it would just not be in my best interest to make a I feel like that's a very inappropriate video and it was funny and I liked making it you know three years ago but I like I feel like that's just not a good idea. Looks happy on the whoa looks happy on the inside but your soul is slowly dying cause you miss Bella.    I was like come on like I was like come on it's part of my life the whole channel it's a meme now like you signed up for this but I should probably respect that. Well honest YouTuber doesn't hide anything. I just read a legitimate comment that was nice. You secretly steal your mom's jewel at night and hit it.  That photo was your first time shaving.   I want a glistening like oh. You know when they ask you how you are you just have to say that you're fine and you're not really fine but you just can't get into it because. Best YouTuber out there not just Madden. Love you guys. You have stubs for thumbs. Papa is gone. Okay I posted one picture. Why do you guys think my thumbs are.  I'm so mad about this. I posted one picture where my thumb looked kind of weird at the end. I'm really self conscious about this. My thumbs are normal. Oh brother. What do your thumbs look like. Fightin. I'm actually the type of guy who's E.A. bastard is cheek clever 69. Dude don't hack all my comments. You're gonna be sure but then I realize you're actually 67. The funniest thing is when people do meet me in real life. First thing I would say about 50% of people who have met me in real life go. They go oh you're not 65. Worst story ever oh my god. This is one of the most embarrassing things ever. Okay we all. Okay yes I'm 65 245. Obviously I'm not 65 245 but we get that it's a joke right. Well everyone comments it on my Instagram pictures and girls don't really watch my YouTube. Like girls that I go to school with and go to MSU with. Obviously I don't watch my YouTube channel. I mean like some of them do but like I make this content for you guys. I don't make it for them.  I was going to Chicago once for Lala Palooza and this girl that I really vaguely knew. I did not know her that well. Said that I could like stop at her house before I went to Lala for like whatever two hours just to like drop all my stuff off cause it's like a four hour drive. That part doesn't matter. Basically I was stopping by this girl's place. I didn't know her that well. And oh this is the worst. I like don't even want to tell this to her it's so embarrassing. She legitimately thought that I was going to be 65. You're insane. Because of all my Instagram comments.  It was a very, she was like pretty sure the first dude this is the fattest L I probably ever take it. She was the first thing she said to me was like I thought you were super tall. Oh my God. You know I played it off like a champ but if you want to make the 65 jokes do it but if your sisters or anything ever ask let them know I'm not actually 65. To be honest, I don't know you that well but I see you in the hallways at school. Right? Seven.  You never dated a black chick. Sorry Matt. Not true. Absolutely not true. Totally did. Get wrecked.  What does that mean? This guy's assumption is fishing. All white people don't love fishing but I do love fishing. So embrace some stereotypes. My sister is obsessed with you. Mission accomplished boys. I can log on. I feel as if you the type of person to go get milk and actually come back. So I'll say it before. I'm on my way back and give me a few years. All right, I'm ending on this one because this is so cute. The man I aspire to be is at your older. Love you Papa. Adler Johnson, I love you too man. Stay strong. You got this boy. All right boys, you know what? I'm gonna end the video off there. This was a blast. This is what I've been yearning for. I'm feeling a lot better. Didn't have to make a mad video.  So I'm feeling good. I hope you guys enjoyed this. I'll make tons more content like this. I'm trying to post, I probably won't. But I'm trying to post like five days a week. So if you wanna shoot me some suggestions I would love them because this world of YouTube where I don't make mad videos four days a week is kinda new to me. So the awesome videos and suggestions. But that is it for now. I love you all. Thank you for sticking with me. Despite not posting mad, that is so like, Stay strong. Don't jewel. Get good grades. Get jacked.  That's closing notes. Have fun boys. I love you. Peace out.
