In this episode of Mind Pump, Justin, Adam, and I have some fun introductory conversation. It lasts about 44 minutes. We went on for that long. We did. Yeah, we did. We talked about Jerry Belvedere, the mouse. Who is that? He's a friend of ours that lives in here now. Got to find out. We talk about me mispronouncing a word, actually made up a word, mini moles. My apologies. We talk about my keto dinner at the Brazilian Steakhouse. Delicious. We talk about trailer parks and how Adam thinks that's the next place that everyone's gonna want to go.

Yeah, I did. This is not the rainbow. We won't post that one. Don't worry. Then we talk about eco sexuality. You love the environment. Yeah. What's the last time you flew?  Show us how much you love the environment. We talk about the split of California.  And the high speed rail that we're building here versus the hyper loop. Is it really that fast? Cranks are going to split us anyway. And we mentioned our sponsors. We talked about Thrive Market. We actually opened up a box of stuff for me from Thrive Market.

Then we get into the questions. The first question was, look, if our bodies are super adaptable, like we say they are, why haven't they adopted, adapted modern society yet? Like why aren't we adapted to a high sugar diet, not moving that much, not sleeping that much? Like when are our genes going to catch up? Yeah, come on, man.   The next question was, if we're built for survival, then why aren't we craving greens and veggies and fruits and stuff that are good for us? Or would you? Yeah, exactly. Next question. We've all been working out for a long time. Do we still find it exciting and fun? Is it like that first day? Or is it boring now? Our answers might surprise you here. They will. The last question is, what is our opinion on all the hype surrounding vegan and vegan, vegan, vegan, vegan, vegan, why is that so hard to say? Apparently in January, that's why there's this trend where everybody's avoiding meat in January. And what do we think about that? Do we bash it or are we on board? Probably both. Also, it's still January. It's still the month everybody typically decides to get super serious about fitness. I don't believe you, but if you are, if you are super serious, I got a great way to prove you wrong.   This is what you do. You enroll in our maps super bundle. It's a year of exercise programming.

I'm trying to... Jerry? Because I feel like Justin will come up with the best name. Yeah, for... What can we name the mouse that we have in the studio? That's not original, dude. A little schnauzer. No. What? I don't know. I think I hyped you too much. He did. Schnauzer? Like yeah, a little schnauzy. Let's come up with a name right now for the mouse. I'm thinking... I don't know. I like Belvedere. Oh yeah, that's a good call. I'm going to call him Belvedere. Yeah. What do you think, Adam? Belvedere for the mouse? I like Jerry, man. Little buck. Okay, so Jerry Belvedere. Jerry Belvedere. Jerry Belvedere is the mouse. That's pretty regal. I want to hear what happened. Because we already got one. We got... No, two. There were two that we got. One... Yeah, we snapped one. One... Before that. Wow. I don't know if I was going to admit that on the show. Get a lot of pissed off people about that. But we did eat it later. So the body didn't go to waste. Yeah. So we caught one in a box that Justin... Yeah, I was trying to be all cool at first. But hey, man, you didn't get the message. I wonder if it was the same one. We snapped you. You think it came back? Maybe. So we caught one, then we killed one, and now there's another one. But this is the last mouse standing, and he's a survivor. What did he do, Adam? I want you to tell everybody what he did. Well, Doug got smart and figured out that he liked the peanuts, and we've been buying peanuts from Thrive Market. And so, since we had an abundance of these, which is probably what drew these guys into our studio, Doug decided to double down on the peanuts. And he's now using the peanuts on the traps, and it's been working. But apparently, Jerry is a little more... is smarter than his brother, because he's found a way to get the peanuts off the trap without getting the trap to go off. That's tricky, Jerry. That almost makes me not want to do any... I want to almost catch him and keep him as a pet. Because he's smart? Well, he deserves it. You won. Yeah, he deserves the whole thing. Do you remember the game Mouse Trap when you were kids? I love Mouse Trap. Oh, shit, what are those called? That was elaborate to set up. Hold on a second. There's a name for creating a very complicated... Is it a Rube Goldberg? Rube, Rube, Rube. Yeah. A Rube Goldberg? Rube Goldberg? Yeah, a Rube Goldberg. Rube, Rube, Rube. What is it called? What is it called, Doug? Those big, complicated... Yeah, it's like a Rube... Is it a Rube Goldberg machine? Yeah, it's like Rube.  I love it sometimes when I'm right. Listen, I got to say something real quick. I'll listen to an episode. I was listening to one of our last episodes and I mispronounced the word so bad. That was... And I fixed it in the episode, but as I heard it, have you guys... It's a Rube Goldberg. Have you guys ever listened to yourself on the show and just felt so embarrassed about yourself that you had to stop? Almost every day. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay, so this is the first time... I listened in moderation. You know what I mean? I have to blast myself all the time, just keep myself in check. So I was trying to talk about how many key tones I had in my urine because I did the peach strip and I said, instead of millimoles, I said mini-moles. I heard you correcting yourself on that. I was like... Mini-moles? So me and my girl... It's like a strip mole. A little mini-moles. Me and Jessica were on our way to dinner last night. By the way, celebrated an early anniversary. We have our anniversary coming up. All right. And we were driving over there and we listened to the episode and I said mini-moles twice or something like that. And I didn't correct it for like five minutes later. Dude, that was so... I got so angry with myself. Did anybody call you out on Instagram? It's a new episode. And so I'm hoping that this one... What for all the scientists? I want this one to get out first. I want this one to get out first so someone will correct me.  You can live in my world for a day. You know what I'm saying? Because people love to DM me right away. Let me know.  Mini-moles? Yeah, dude, I know that. Thank you. My co-host pointed out right away. It's not a word that... I was there too. It's not a word most people know, so I know some scientists or doctors and be like, hmm. Yeah. Mini-moles? Yeah. They're probably in the lab just... I knew he was wrong. He probably just like... He's such a know-it-all. I knew he was wrong. Dude, yesterday I went to the best restaurant for a keto diet, keto paleo diet ever. Oh, the Brazilian steakhouse? Wow, I didn't know. Of course. That's like... That's when I was on the keto diet. That was like Katrina and I, like every Friday was going down to the Brazilian steakhouse. Oh, my God. It's designed for the keto diet. Totally. We went over to Fogo de Chao in Santana Roa. Yeah. Wow. That is... I still haven't been there yet. Bro. I really want to go. Bro, I had probably... I'm not exaggerating either. I had at least 150 grams of protein in one meal.  Easy to do. In that situation. Here's the crazy thing.  You know, I'm always leery of talking like this because I know it's going to happen.  But here's the deal. I've just recently switched over. I hadn't done keto for a while. And I ate so much food, but I avoided all the carbohydrates and starches. And I didn't even have fruit. It was just all fats, vegetables and meats. And I ate a lot and I left there and I felt totally fine. Normally, I would leave a restaurant like that after eating that much and I'd be bloated or painful or whatever. No, man, I came home and I felt good. Had sex and everything. You know what I mean? That's the trifecta. Yeah, because normally after a meal I'd go like that. Justin and I went and had famous Dave's yesterday without you guys. We did. What's famous Dave's? It's like armadillo willies or dickies, like a barbecue place. The chain came from Chicago. I was actually pumped when it came out. It's in... Off Kirtner. Yeah. The Monterey goals. The plant? Yeah, the plant. It's right in there. You guys always wait until I'm gone. That's what we did.  Want to talk? Want to talk? I say, Justin, you know what?  The company's taking us to lunch. I had to go on our own diet. I'm just kidding.  Yeah, of course. Of course. We had them always. I don't get jealous because you guys have your own little friendship that you guys do without me and stuff. We have something special. Me and Doug hang out a lot, so it's all good. You know what I mean? Fine. Hey, I'm going to take a left turn on you right now. Listen, you guys are always taking off without me, so whatever. We do. That is true. That is true. That is true. Left turn real quick. I've been, I don't know where I read this, right, but this was recent that I saw this, that there's this kind of new emerging market that's happening right now with these small homes. Now we've seen it and we've talked about the minimalist homes before. Now you're talking about like small- Molecule homes. Are you going to want small cholos or small houses? No, no, no, no. Actually, trailer parts. Small homes. Small homes. Dad joke. Oh, I got to throw them in every once in a while. You didn't have a lot of mulligans lately. A lot of mulligans going on over here. He's pushing it, so. Hey, let me introduce you. We're going to have to let that one ride. We have to play ball on that joke. Let me introduce you to my small homes over here. He's small, buddy. Hey, I got your back. No, I mean more like trailers. So even people like Warren Buffett are invested heavily in this right now, which is these trailer parks are becoming the new thing where you go because of where the market is in housing. They're going to get expensive. The average, well, yeah, they are. They're smart. They're buying up these trailer parks and they're modernizing them, right? So they're making them cool trailers, but they're making them kind of hip, like complex. That's interesting that's taking off because when I was going to buy a house, like this is right at the, like right after the market really crashed, I got kind of lucky going in, but I was talking to one of my friends and he's like, dude, why don't you just buy a modular? Yeah, a modular home.  So why would I do that? And I guess it was picking up steam even back then, but has, you know, got to this point. It's trendy. It's not trendy. It's actually, I think it's, I think it's here to stay. Oh, I don't think it's not going to stay. I agree with you. I think it's trending in the sense that it's, I can see it. Oh, definitely. So I think it's brilliant. I think it's smart. So I had a girl I dated years ago who lived in a trailer park and she had a modular, but it was beautiful. It was like a hundred. I think she bought it for like a hundred grand, but it was like a three bedroom, two bath, like modular that was put together and the house was all modern and looked really cool inside. But she lived in like this trailer park type of a community that I felt was like real old and retired. There's all these like, yeah, like people have a certain perception of a trailer park. So what these guys are doing and what I think is brilliant is they're just changing the image of it. Instead of it being just drawn, appealing to the old, older population that's retired, making it more hip and more cool to where they've got these little, you know, like when you go to an apartment complex and they've got... Like full sets of teeth. Well, pool, a pool and like a basketball hoop and things that, things that you would want in your apartment type complex. These trailer parks are, they're remodeling them. They're buying these old rundown ones, buying the whole thing out. Cleaning house. Yes. So can I tell you my dream? If I, well this is, if I didn't have kids, this would be my dream. Sal has a dream. If I didn't have kids, I 100%, not making this up. I've talked about this so many times with people close to me and me and Jessica even talked about this and she would be super down. Can't do it because I got kids and all that.  Does that all the time? I could see you doing that. I would love to do that. You know how awesome it would be to have like very minimal, like physical possessions? You invest your money so you're set and all that stuff. I would get old for me. I don't think so. I love how he's silly. You know how awesome it would be to have like nothing? You know how cool it would be to have nothing and drive around and have like, like, no, actually, that does not sound cool at all. I think it would be, it would be great. You could travel like a mini tour with our band and I got frustrated after this week. Bro, you could trap, you could live on the beach for a second.  You could drive over here. Sell it, brother. Sell it. It's like you're in your hippie spirit. I love it. It is. That's you. It is. A whole 14 days of that would be more than enough for me right there. And even that's pushing it. I think seven to 10 days of living the minimalist lifestyle. And you know what? And I know there's someone who's listening who totally agrees with you. There's for sure people out there that, and I believe, I have to do it occasionally. I believe as a group, right, we do over-consume.      You know what I'm saying? And I like having those things. And I do get usage out of some of the things. But there are some things I do believe are wasteful. But I also believe that's part of growing and evolving and learning about yourself too. I think you only make that mistake of wasting money on a thing one or two times.   What am I doing like that? I would never go run out and buy a quad again because I've got a $10,000 quad that sits in my living room, right? That doesn't even get driven anymore.  Are you going to sell it? No. I won't because you know why? Because I won't get nowhere near the amount of money that I've put into it. That's more than zero. Right now you're getting zero for it. Yeah, but if you, a quad like that you can find online used even though mine has really low hours and has about five, six grand into it. And it's already brand new and $8,000 quad. I wouldn't even get six or seven grand for it. So to me... Well, whatever you get is more than what you're getting now. That's the way you got to look at it.  You think why? Because I know me at one point I'll be on Pismo Beach again and I'll have wanted, I want to drive it. Rent it, rent one. No, you can't rent one like mine. Oh, okay. Well, if you're going to use it that's different. But a lot of times what people will do is so I can't remember the name of it. There's a term for it in economics and it's where people make this, they use this rationale and it's actually, economically speaking, irrational but it feels rational.  That's irrational because you've already spent the money. The money's already gone. No. So you're not, it doesn't change anything the fact that you're sitting there throughout a movie that you don't like. In fact, you're actually wasting your time. Right. I think the rationale that you have in it so let's, you know But if you're going to use it Absolutely, this is the way I look at things. Yeah, but what if I don't for another year? Is it what I still, I still think it's a smart. No, no, no. Because if you, if you rent something like that even though you couldn't rent something as nice as that but even the lower models are still costing you $250 an hour. You know, so excuse me, $250 for like four hours. So if I did something like that all I would have to do is in my lifetime use it for five days over the course of the rest of my life. And I've pretty much Right, that's what I mean.  Totally. Have you guys seen the new trend that's all over the internet right now? On what? Trend. A lot of trends. Oh, okay.  Oh, I know what you're going to talk about. Are you talking about the things put in your mouth?   Katrina told me about this last weekend. I forgot to bring it up. Yeah, Justin. What? It's a challenge for me. Okay, it's the ones we get. Do you use these? I use these. Yeah, so I use the generic version of them but I know what they are. Yeah, you've seen them before, Justin. They're little gel pods. Maybe Doug can look it up on YouTube, put the Tide Pod Challenge or something. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. For the dishwasher. Yeah.  No, they don't eat them. Why? The challenge is to put it in your mouth and keep it in your mouth for as long as you can without it breaking. Right, so. Yeah.  Yes. Why would you do that?  Doug, can you find that? It is the Tide Pod Challenge. Tide Pod Challenge. Why? Why do people do... Why? I don't get it.  Look how many videos there are. The Tide Pod Take, the Tide Pod... Wow. A lot of people are doing it and then there's videos of it exploding in people's mouths and then they're spitting it out or whatever. Getting all sick and everything from that.  Well, you're drinking detergent. You could completely burn the inside of yourself. Can I watch one? I haven't watched one. I want to see exactly what they say or what they do. They're a short one. Watch the top view one maybe. Someone reminds me of when I was in junior high and it was popular to push on somebody's chest to make them pass out. Make them pass out. You remember that? Yeah. I couldn't believe kids were doing that.  What is he doing? What are you doing, you asshole? Well, somebody at work needs to slap him. Well, he's got 260,000 views. That's what he's doing. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.  Yeah. And these days it's just amplified because of media, social media, whatever. So fast forward to the end, Doug. I want to see it blow up in his face. Yeah. It's almost the end. It's a short video. Oh, no. He's talking about it.  He's not going to actually do it. Again, a grown man. Put it on one of them kids. He just totally faked us on that. Yeah, he did. Yeah. I think he's just talking about how bad it is and all that stuff. Tide pod challenge. Oh. She's trying to eat it, bro. She's like chewing on it. No. People are chewing on it. Why? Are you sure it's not that they're eating it, bro? Why? No. It's definitely in her mouth. Oh. She's not. Are you sure it's not to just eat it? Let's look up what is the tide pod challenge. Doug, if you don't mind looking that up and then letting us know. What is she doing? She's like convulsing. Dude.  That's so funny. You brought that up. Katrina was sharing that with me last weekend. She's like, you see what all these kids are doing? I'm like, no. She's like this, the tide thing. You know what I think? You guys watch this.  And they get like millions and millions of years. What? Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know how you search that. Okay. Maybe we'll make Drew do this. What? The tide pod challenge? Yeah. You know what we do? What?   And then afterwards, it's just protein powder. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's like when you like, you know, there's movies where they make, what movie was it where these guys were being hazed? They were trying to get into a fraternity. Oh, the brick.  But then the rope is too long so the brick. That's Home Depot. It's, I've made some things to do. We're streaking. Yeah, that's that. Yeah. Yeah. Like I think the name of that right now. Come on, Justin. Old school. So the Tide Pod Challenge is a viral phenomenon where people bite into the Tide brand laundry detergent. See? Oh, I thought they were supposed to just keep it in their mouth. No, no, they bite it. Why? Why? I don't know, dude. Kids are dumb. That's why just kids are dumb. Yep. Yep. That's exactly why. There's no other explanation. There's zero explanation. You know what's weird? Thinking of something as ridiculous is that how it could, how it takes off and people start doing it. Like who was the person? Who was the big famous person that actually got the momentum going? There was somebody big who actually had to get that going for it to go viral. Because this doesn't go viral with a bunch of kids that have 100 followers share it. That's not how this works.  So, oh, here's the lipstick challenge. What's it called? What's it called? I wanted you guys to see this. Oh, I've seen this. It's popular in Asia. So, we talked about this where you do the lipstick challenge or the lollipop challenge where, so what they do is they put like a lipstick on and he's got to taste, he's got to guess the flavor, right? So, she kisses him and then she's got to figure out what the flavor is. This is literally all that happens. She put lipstick on, right? Yeah. Make some weird face and then like eats. That's the whole thing? That's it. And it's to do what? To show you that the lipstick doesn't come off?  I was trying to see if you guys know. Why? Why is this so dumb?  I'm fascinated by it. Yeah. See, Adam, I don't know, buddy.  Sometimes it's unexplainable. No, it is. I'm telling you right now. How many views?  You get like five, ten million views. Yeah. I don't know. Whatever. Anyways, whatever.  Let's come up with a like contribute positively to society challenge. You'll never go viral. You know what I mean? Turn into the ice bath challenge. Do a good job challenge.  Let's start something like that.  Yeah, that would be awesome. Be nice challenge. Yeah, be cool to people.  Nowhere. Dude, it went viral to like a thousand people. For sure. So I'm going to talk to you guys about another thing that I read about today. I actually posted it in my Insta story. Have you guys ever heard of eco sexuality? No. Making love to dirt or what? Yeah. No. Like humping trees.  Now, some of it is mild. Some of it is the internet has allowed all the weirdos in the world to find each other and actually have a voice. So it's 20 years ago. Connection machines. So there's a range. There's a range of eco sexuality on one side. The kind of I'm really into go for hold.  That's all right.  Yeah. She'd like to have sex.  Yeah.  Like dudes, banging trees or the ground girls. Splinters. Grinding on. Yeah. Like and there's and I was reading this article on it and because it's fascinating. I wasn't Googling it brings a whole new light to tree hugger. Right. Tree fucker. Yeah. It all starts with a hug. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.  That's going to be my favorite tree. Yeah. How much do you want?  This is my this month.  You are. What are you some kind of tree fucker? He's a good tree fucker. Hey. Talk about one uping someone, right? Yeah. You're at it. You're at a, you're like I had to save the earth like convention or whatever you like at all these people. Yeah. And you're talking to the guy next to you like yeah man.  We're like we need to protect the earth. You know what I mean? He's like yeah. I'm like what do you do? Do you hug trees? Like yeah. I like to hug tree. I sing to him sometimes. It's not enough man. Yeah. You got to make love to the tree.  You got to. You really love nature. You got to love nature. Yeah. Do you really love nature? So is it really? I mean is it really a thing at the level where people are doing this? Here's the thing about humans. Oh my God. Here's the thing about humans.  That we're sexual apes. We have these instincts, but we're so complex that we can distort it and you know direct it into like weird ways where some people get turned off.  There's a name for it.    Like where though? Like the exhaust? Yeah. Like I'm just, I'm thinking physics. Yeah. That's all. Hey baby, turn the car off and I'll tell you. Whoa. Hit the gas. Yeah. Anyway.  So I mean it's not that much different right? Yeah, but here's the difference.     It's just, it's just something to put your dick inside. You're not looking at the mattress like, oh man. Yeah.  Well you know, so is it, that's what I would assume these guys or girls or whoever is doing this. No, they're attracted to the nature. That's weird. Yeah. They're vain. They're, exactly. You're weird. Hashtag true. That's A man.  You don't even know. Yeah. Let's do it.  Doug, Doug, bring it on, man. Oh no, no. I got more news. Oh, there's more. I got more crazy news. Wait, wait, wait. California. I don't know if you guys heard about this, but they, there's a petition that's been signed by quite a few people that California. Oh, I segregate. What's the break apart into two states? You know, you posted that. Is that, is that a real thing people are thinking about? They've been saying it for a long time. Some joke. It's, it's, it's a real onion article. No, no, it's a real thing. It's highly unlikely. Yeah. Extremely unlikely. There's no way.  I don't blame them. I don't blame them for having that idea. I really don't. For people who live in California, it is the most, you want to talk about gap. It is, there's two, there definitely are two Californias. I could split, I could split it up in even more. But for sure, if you live in California, you're, there's very, very few in the middle. It's either you make a lot of money, you make no money. Yeah. Very, very, very divided. Here's some statistics. California has one-eighth of the population of the U.S. It's a big state, right? It also has one-third of the welfare recipients. One-third. Wow. So of all of the U.S. That's a great start. One-third are in California. It is, it's the poverty rate is actually the, California has the highest poverty rate of any state. And that's all inland for the most part. The majority.  Yeah. Like it ain't, people are struggling. Yeah. And the, the shitty part is a lot of the policies, most the policies that are passed in California are from these elites that live in these wealthy areas. So they raise, you know, crazy taxes and regulations and we need more environmental stuff.   They can't even start anything. Yeah. So it's just horrible, this, this huge gap. And so I can't blame, I can't, I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think it's a wise thing. I do think these people need to get in and vote and actually start to make a difference and start to change things. It needs to be a collective change. But yeah, dude, it's, it's, you don't know that stat, huh? No, I didn't, I did not know that stat. That's fascinating to me that there's that, that much of a drastic difference. Bro, and the highest poverty rate, California, the nation. There's also the, there's also the highest poverty. Has the highest poverty rate when you do, when you control for cost of living. So definitely, you know, poverty here earns more than poverty in Mississippi. But when you look at the cost, like everything in California is more expensive.  I remember when I bought my condo, you know, when and back then it was, I think it was 320 is what I paid for it. Yeah, 320 is what I paid for a three bedroom condo way back when, which now would probably go for a half a million. And I remember thinking like, fuck, dude, I just, I don't like paying this much money just for a condo. What if I went to like an hour and a half inland, you know, that's it. Just an hour and a half inland. That would have bought me like a five bedroom brand new home. Sure. That's 3000 to 4000 square feet.  Only an hour and a half inland from there. It's where we're at. The Bay is just, Bay and L.A. is fucked. It is, California is, and I'm going to stir it up. California is a fantastic example of shitty economic policy. It's the richest state we've got areas where, with lots of innovation, but for the most part, it's extremely expensive. It's extremely inefficient.  Nothing has run well. We've, we're spending, I don't know how many billions of dollars on a, on a fast train. You guys know the speed rail? Yeah. I'm putting in quote now because it will literally be the slowest speed train in the country, in the world. It'll be one of the slowest in the world. So it's slow.  And the people who are building it are connected to the politicians who passed it, of course. So they're reaping all the benefits. And it isn't going to benefit that many people. It's like the railroad all over again. It's a fucking, it's a boondog. It's a clusterfuck.  It's just terrible.  I don't know very much about it, but is it, is it shaping up the same way how it was just as how political the whole railroad system was? I heard them talking about it forever, the last five, 10 years. First of all, it's costing us now, I don't know, how many times more than they estimated, of course, that always happens. Whenever government says we're going to spend, if they say they're going to spend $5 billion, you expect to spend at least $10 billion, right? So it's way more than they estimated and the estimate was way high because it could have been done for a lot cheaper.  The way the track is being laid out, the places it's connecting, it's not going to benefit, it'll never, it's not going to get back any of them, it's not going to get back the money that it cost to put it all together and we're all, they're trying to make us pay for it with our taxes and all this other stuff. What is, Where is it run from where to where? It's going to be from the bay area down to, I forgot how far south, I think LA. Connecting the two. And how fast is it supposed to go? I don't know the exact speed but I do know that it's very slow compared to other. Well, when you say very slow, I think like 40 miles an hour. Oh, I hear what you're saying. Yeah. No, I'm comparing it to other speed rails. I have no idea what speed rails are. It's got to at least go 100 if it's high speed. Yeah, I don't know. I have to look it up. Let me look it up. Because you're not really saving much time if you can't compete. Yeah, you might as well drive, you know. Yeah, no, I mean, it'll be faster than driving, the highest cruising, high speed rails in the world are around 200 miles an hour. In France, it gets up to 220. Not sure how much the California, let me see here. It doesn't say here.  I wouldn't mind having a train though that connects us to LA because how much we go to LA and if it got us there faster than what it takes us to get to the airport or do all that stuff and for half the price or more than half the price. That would be great.  This is why Elon talked about the Hyperloop. Yeah. He talked about creating a Hyperloop because he was just frustrated with the whole. Because he sees what we're doing.  I could do a Hyperloop for one fifth of the cost. What's the difference? Explain the difference. Hyperloop is a vacuum tube with pods inside of it that the technology will allow them to travel extremely fast and it's also very inexpensive. It will be estimated to be very inexpensive. Again, what's extremely fast is like 20 miles faster. I don't know. The standard there is 200. I don't know. Go up from there. That's a good question. I don't know. Because that would be fascinating if you could move this thing at 300, 400 miles an hour. Oh my God. You're like almost G-Force. Well, now you're moving like a plane would move. You know what I'm saying? Now you could get across to a place. That would be dope. That would be sweet. Yeah, I don't know. I saw his plans though for like some of the parking where he had this whole like underground like subterranean like service where you could like you basically park a car and then this platform kind of drops you down into the subterranean part and kind of parks it for you and then you come back. It comes back up. It gets another car. So it's like, you know where you go to parallel park on a city. So now that platform is going to drop you down. Subterranean is going to park it for you. You come back. You have an app that you get your car fished back for you. It was interesting idea. Was that at CES? That was something that I saw a video for. Yeah, somebody show that. That sounds cool. It was pretty dope. I was like, but again, these are such big ideas. I'm just like, oh my God, like he just wants to take on like massive, massive things that'll like revolutionize everything, which that's why I appreciate it about it. Well, I feel like we're due for it. Like when, like it wasn't that. I mean, how long ago what did planes start like commercial flying and stuff? When did that happen? Really started taking off in the 50s, 60s and 70s really started taking off. Before that, we were flying, but that's when the market really started. And then when it got deregulated, Howard Hughes and him, like it was at TWA. Yeah. And then when it got deregulated, it really, it really took off. I think Reagan, if I'm not mistaken, started deregulating the airline industry and made, you know, cheaper airline travel much more possible. I like what they're doing right now with the whole bringing the Uber to the private jet thing. That's really interesting. Is that taking off? Interesting model. I believe it is doing well. I haven't looked, I read an article not that long ago about it and I mean, more and more companies are jumping on board to do it. It's becoming competitive. So, I think that's kind of cool where you can hop on a private jet for a pretty reasonable price, you know, and do it kind of Uber style where you share the flight. Yeah, it's affordable. Right, right. I think that's cool. Now we got the bird coming. The bird is the word. Are we birding or are we opening up a box? We got our Thrive Market Box and unfortunately, Jerry Belvedere got into it early. Did he really? Jerry! Or was it Adam Schaefer? Is this, now we were going to do boxes, individual boxes. She called Newman. Is this an individual box or is this a group? Yeah, this is actually your box, Sal. He's a pest. My box? It's your box. Let's hear what you got. And so I came in this morning and Adam was eating one of your items.  Because I knew it was his box.   So first up on Adam's, or Sal's order was Sal Suds, of course. So we got this last time and I used it, I used it to wash my dishes and it's my favorite dish soap ever. So I've been using it. That's why I wanted more. Is it like, what do you like about it? It's Suds, Sal Suds. It just cleans really, really good. It smells really good and it's super pure. It looks like you're getting a lot for your, is it a pretty good price, price point compared to like bottles? I don't remember what the price was on. Both the same thing, Doug, or something different? No, the second thing is children's shampoo. Oh, yeah. So I get organic shampoo for my kids. Yes, that's the move. You know, a lot of shampoos contain compounds that act. Yeah, make your scalp tingling. Well, not just that, but they act like they weak estrogens in the body. So there's been cases where kids will be using these things and then we'll start to have estrogenic effects. So organic compound, organic shampoos are probably better.  And I would admit that probably 10 years ago, I would have been somebody who rolled their eyes hearing that also. You've grown so much. Expect a lot of the answer. You served that one up nice, right? That was great. No, but really, I would have been somebody like that and I have grown so much and so now I don't. No, what it is now is that it's, we have just become so inundated with.  And that was getting better about turning the Wi-Fi off in my bedroom. Oh yeah. And it's such a simple little thing that I can do that I know cannot be really good for my body to have that running right next to my head next to my nightstand all night long. And to be honest with you, I don't know if it was one of you guys or one of our forum members that shared that study. Did you guys see that?  Did you guys see that study? No. Oh, this was very fascinating to me. Because Dr. McCullough has been hammering this for a long time. And here's the thing. If we were to talk to one of our buddies like Lane, it'd be like, well, that's just correlation. We have improved any causation by this yet. Well, okay. Well, here's the deal. That's his voice. What they did was they took they took a bed of seeds and it was like some sort of grot. Yeah. And they and one of them they and they both of them all the same. Same temperature, same everything, light water, all the same. And one of them didn't sprout. And the other one grew to like two, three inches after just being two weeks and a half. Was that so that was an actual study? Was that a real study that happened? So I think it was an experiment that these that these kids did that ended up prompting a study. Interesting. Yeah. And so well, we do know that. I mean, there's a lot of radiation. Now, we're exposed to a lot of radiation all the time. So the argument is like, what's the big deal?  Well, that's just it is.  I don't think anyone's going to die from using per plus. I don't think it's going to kill you if you were to do that, but it's the it's the compounding effect. There's lots of low dosages of all kinds of different things. And it compiles right.  So this is very different than when we were kids.   Now there's 60 and they're otherwise healthy, but something boom pops up. It's hard to pinpoint what caused it. It was a combination of a lot of things. But, you know, it's one of those things or should we be getting cancer at the rates that we get at the ages that we get them? You know what I'm saying? I don't think so. I don't think 50 year olds and 60 year olds should be getting... And here's the way I look at it.  It's like there's certain things...  Apparently hippies are into anal. There's certain things that it all like last night all it took me doing. And mind you, there's three phones. I've got two phones, I've got one phone and we have the laptop all sucking Wi-Fi from my router out in the living room into my room. And I'm thinking, you know, it's just me actively turning that off when I'm asleep anyways and not using it. It's not like I'm having to change my lifestyle. It's not a major change. It's just being aware of that and doing that. Same thing goes, I'm not like married. I don't even know the name of my shampoo right now. So using some organic shampoo that's better for me to me. Those type of things make a lot of sense. And I think it depends if it means I can have one more Diet Coke a year. I mean, I think that's going to win. Well, think about this way. Like parabens, which are found a lot of shampoos, parabens have been shown to have estrogenic. So Xenoestrogens are chemicals that have a weak affinity, typically a weak affinity for the estrogen receptor in the body. That in children, in particular, developing body, probably not a good idea. You know, especially young girls who seem to be having their periods at younger and younger ages. Like today, did you know the average age of a girl getting her period like a hundred years ago was around 17? Today, it's like 13, 12. I think that's like all the growth hormone and all the food and all that. It's a lot of stuff. It's a lot of stuff. So anyway, next product there, Doug. Sorry. All right, continuing on here. Drive Market just got like a three minute five minute commercial there. So we got some Pirates Booty and this also got bounced into. This is what I got into. Yeah, you ate one of my kids snacks. So this morning, I was so hungry. I had an interview and I was here early. And so I was like, man, I got to get something in my stomach. I didn't have time to go running to get food.  First time I'd ever. They're good, huh? Yeah, really good. My kids love them. Yeah, my kids like love those too. Yeah, the whole the whole bag is is 19 grams of carbs, only 140 calories. And I liked it better than I like cheese. It's not ideal. You know, but if you're going to give your kid a processed snack, that's like a treat that I'll give him sometimes. No, I like it. The bag of macadamia nuts. Yeah, that was that was that. Toad. Yeah. Sneaking. The box was open. What can I say? We also got some other things. Well wrapped. I got to say that about the market. They do an excellent job without their recycled paper. Right. Oh, avocado oil. Oh, yeah. We use that for high temperature for high temperature cooking. Avocado oil is really, really good. Revolution in a box. Super tampons. Yeah. Organic. I was going to tell you you need some of those. That's good. Get that shopping. So those are obviously for my girlfriend. Why? Why is that obvious? Yeah. So feminine hygiene products are many times have chemicals in them because they're regulated like tech like textiles. So the cotton may have pesticides. They may have chlorine in them and you're putting that in your vagina or on your vagina, which is an area that is pretty permeable. You can absorb it through there. So people don't think about that. You're going to use this tampon or these pads all the time. You're better off going with the organic. Oh, that's the other trend happening right now. The coffee enemas. That's not a trend. That's been around forever. Yeah. Oh, no, it's hot and trending right now. It's on the rise again. Yeah. It's on the rise of people. In fact, that and then the and the alcohol straight to the ass, right? That's that's that with the people that drink their own pee. It's like all part of the world more than once. Safe, safe, not synthetic panty liners made with organic cotton. There you go. Sal. There we go. This is obviously Sal's box. Yeah. Going final sound, nothing like this box. Yeah. Next is some L. Theanine. Theanine. I like to take that with coffee. If I'm don't have my camera. And the final thing in the box is some extra virgin organic olive oil. Mm hmm. And this is from California from Napa. Good stuff. Olive oil if you're tying. Yeah. Mandatory.  Just lather everything. All right. We're ready for the bird. Bring on the bird. This was brought to you by Organifi.

If our bodies truly are adaptation machines when will our bodies adapt to modern society? Why haven't our bodies learned how to more efficiently utilize excess amounts of sugar, operate on less sleep, etc. When will our genes catch up to the environment? What do they have? Sure they have evolved. Are you kidding me? They have, but it also takes a long time. That's first thing. It takes a long time for evolution to happen. And the second thing is we kind of slow it down because we're not letting people and I'm not saying we should do this by the way.  Wait a second here. I'm going to challenge that a little bit. Our bodies adapt to the level of intake of sugar and things that we do fairly quick. You can be somebody who doesn't feel exhausted right now. We're all talking about how we feel so great right now. Well, none of us probably have consumed over 100 grams of sugar right now. And if we were to go eat 200 grams of sugar, which is not that crazy. That's somebody smashing a box of cookies one day, or half a box or whatever that, which all of us probably in our life have done that at one time.  But I most certainly could ramp myself up by tomorrow doing 50 grams, the next day but my body will be adapted to intake that amount of sugar and not getting sick. Oh, no, totally. I think what they're asking, though, isn't necessarily that. I think what they're talking about is more like why aren't we healthy in modern society? Why aren't our bodies, why haven't we evolved to do well in modern lifestyle? To handle things that weren't designed to be in our body? Yeah, exactly. Because it's new. It's relatively new. Modern lifestyle, shit, even the agricultural revolution in the grand scheme of things wasn't that long ago. But if you add in processed foods, our lifestyle with technology, that's not even a second in the time of human evolution.  We do a good job of keeping people alive. That doesn't mean we're living great but we're doing a pretty good job of keeping people alive in an environment that is suboptimal. I mean, again, I'm not promoting this but if we just let people do what they want and we didn't take care of them, you'd have a lot of people dying a lot sooner and the ones that survived and you throw thousands and thousands of years later all of a sudden now the best diet is high sugar processed food, low activity all these different things that we're experiencing. There are, there are also I feel like when you put it in that when you put it in that perspective of that it is only like a second in the grand scheme of things of all of evolution, I think we've actually evolved quite a bit with the lack of sleep and the ability to consume that much when you look at what just 60 years ago, 100 years ago what did that look like the lifestyle like the go-go and the tech and the stress and the everything that we're doing. I think it's amazing that we have been able to be able to handle that. I think we've adapted pretty damn well in the short amount of time. I mean, it's Well, so stress is an interesting one. Okay, imagine like just envision this for a second. Take somebody from 1910 and just drop them in, you know Well, their head would explode. Right, drop them into Silicon Valley and and tell them to survive for a day and it would just be so overwhelming. I think they'd have a better chance though than somebody from today in 1910. I mean, so when people talk about stress and how stressful it is today, like I want to be clear although we do have a lot of stress, you know, in modern life, I definitely would never trade it for stress that we've experienced in the past. It's different stress.  It's not like a lion's going to attack me out of a cave. Or it's not like I might not be able to find food. Your body's still weird. Over certain things like somebody sends you a message via text and you have that same, you know, like stress response that you would otherwise.   We're not going to have food for the next week. There's no way to make money. What are we going to do? Like it's different. Different kind of stress. I'm very concerned over all of these things. As far as being efficient in trying to make our lives easier we've added so many things that now I think it's more of a management issue. So it's like what do I shut off? What do I focus on? Focus is that portion that back then it's like you knew what your job was. You got up, you did this, you did that.  Like you knew exactly what you're doing. Like today it's like oh my God Today, I can say I confidently that I think a lot of people are missing is idle time Like there is no more idle time. You are if you're quiet and alone. You have nothing to do You're still doing something you're still watching TV or you're on the internet or you're on social media Or you're doing something that is very stimulating Versus in the past at the most they'd be reading. You know what I mean? Or they would just be quiet Like they would just be out and it would be alone me by myself. I walked out of the house I'm gone. Nobody can reach me because there was no way to do that and there's hours where it's just me and my thoughts and a lot of Processing and growth happens from that. This is why I think people Love nature so much. You see a song. You know how many people you who are like city folk who go on and I'm one of these People by the way, this is something recent for me where I started experiencing nature the way that You know, I think I should experience it for the first time relatively recently and it blew me away I'm out there and I'm like, this is the most enjoyable rejuvenating thing I've ever done and really it's because I have there's nothing It's just me and maybe another person and nature and I'm with my thoughts and I'm thinking and just Experiencing and growing and we kind of miss that and I think humans have always had that You know, if you look at shit, man, you guys ever you guys ever trip out over the Ingenuity of the human mind when you consider what people were able to do in ancient times Yeah, like like the pyramids how precise they were built and the dimensions and how they you and I were skill set people had back Then is just astounding you and I were just tripping out on this when we were in LA Remember we were looking out at all the skyscrapers and thinking like don't you ever think it's so fascinating like This whole thing that we've created out of nowhere. You know, it's crazy It's but they didn't have modern technology and they understood like there were calendars that were written thousands of years ago That are we're accurate down to like the millisecond in terms of what would happen with constellations the Sun the moon They watched the sky the tight all night long because exactly you got nothing else to do Here's another great example.  You know that there's there are complicated Economic markets in prisons with drugs and cigarettes and sex and food There are I mean ingenious ways that these people have developed ways to communicate that they've developed weapons and Things it because they got nothing better to do. They're just and these are not necessarily the brightest people in the world I'm sure there's very bright people in there But a lot of them are aren't necessarily and yet they're coming up with these Brilliant things that they're doing are these ways it because they're just they're just sitting there And I think we're missing that so, you know, that's a big one The other thing we should talk about is epigenetics and how you what you do now is also just transfers to your kids Yeah, they're showing that like a if a mother is in a stressful type situation or whatever or her life is very stressful that the child comes out and is more likely to Be hypersensitive to stimulus or whatever and it makes perfect sense when you think of Evolution the sense that the babies genes are getting ready to be born into an environment That is being you know that at that point the best judge of the environment is the mother So if the mother is in this type of a minor environment then the genes of the child are going to develop to be able to Survive in whatever environment they're going into so that's even getting changed aside from just you know The regular genes but as far as you know adaptation is concerned your body adapts all the time But if you're talking about evolution That's gonna take a long time to happen and technology Evolves so much faster than our bodies do that. I don't think the next frontier to interweave with yep With the human race. I do not think the next frontier of evolution is is organic natural evolution I think the next frontier is humans will be evolving themselves through technology I don't think it's gonna be like I believe we're seeing it already Yeah, I don't think you're gonna go a thousand years in the future and see like Humans with super long fingers because we type and you know our bodies adapted to our diet I don't think it's gonna happen. I think we're gonna force it embedded with chips and computers Yeah, we'll build it into us. We're gonna build it into us and force ourselves to adapt that way So it's gonna happen subtly, but it'll happen. Oh, you know what? We're talking about sleep I didn't even tell you guys so I did you have you guys tried the four stigmatic sleep Blend yet the stick. No.  No, no Camemill or melatonin. I didn't add anything. I just had the sleep stick. I did it, you know 45 minutes before bed. Is it like a tea doesn't make you can make it warm you can do a warm it actually tastes, you know halfway decent but I Pounded it because that's how I take supplements.  Was I in a coma? Yeah, I didn't even see did we get that or did you order that yourself? No, no, we got it and I took it, but you know, we're even cuz you ate my kids snacks I'll give you one but no, it's the it's their sleep stick So for sigmatic what we what I've been using from there is a lot of other individual stuff because I like to take Things by themselves, but now I'm experimenting with their blends. So they have a brain stick They have a sleep stick They have like they have other blends that they do for performance or whatever Kind of cool the way they put them together is really good. So I'll be experimenting with those cool Next question is from Joe Begadona.  I wanted I wanted vegetables. That was when that was sprouts this is a why I like the question is that I Think I would have agreed with Joe back then and thought the same same way, too Until I experienced like fasting and then dieting extreme dieting where I was restricting for a long period of time For the first time ever in my life that I feel my body crave those things I never crave greens before but I have now and I have and that's just in the last five six years Have I even did I ever make that connection? I just you've been dampening all those signals Yeah, I've been trying to talk to you. Well, you're you're these signals exist And have and were evolved in a completely different environment largely different environment than the one that we live in so I'll give you a good example If you try to give a kid something that tastes bitter, they'll probably spit it out if you give them something that's sweet They'll likely eat it now. Why why do why do kids want something sweet and something and they don't want something It's better and this is largely true for you for adults. Yeah, it's safe. Yeah, yeah sweet in nature sweet usually means not poisonous And in nature bitter usually means or many times means poison Well, you don't think it's also the the subconscious effect that they're getting to that the mental stimulation from the uptake of the sugar Coming into their body, too It could be but even before that happens just this like if you give a kid artificial sweetener or something that doesn't have sugar, right? the taste of sweet Signals something to us now.   No, we focused most of our energy on Can we can this food last a long time in the shelf because that brings down the cost right makes it easy to transport And how good does it taste? That's the two areas that we've invested most this helped us to survive longer You know, we had more abundance of food that way once we figured out how to farm and you know get into agriculture and all that So it's like, you know, what benefited us now is is a hindrance it is especially all the the time money and energy we've spent on taste because now I'll bite into something that's processed and It's causing something in my body that just wouldn't happen. It's not gonna happen in nature.  We've all experienced it where you may not necessarily be stuffed You're just sick of eating that, you know particular same flavor. Well foods that are processed are engineered to Extend that to prolong. Yeah to get to the point where palette fatigue Doesn't happen much later.  So You know, that's really what it is. It really boils down to that now Can you get to a point where your body's signals now point you in the right direction? You can take some work though eliminating all processed foods Experience fasting so you know what real hunger feels like you understand that you start to learn now that sometimes I'm hungry Just because I'm supposed to be hungry or sometimes I'm here because I'm bored. So fasting is a great way. It also resets those receptors and then just paying attention To your the signals your body and just through paying attention Those signals then your body will start to make or you will start to make Associations between those signals and the foods that you're eating and actually I was listening to one of our episodes and Adam this was a it was such a great example when we were talking about the fast and I asked you guys how well you're sleeping You didn't it wasn't even something that you had thought of right right and then you started kind of putting it together Now knowing that can you see can you sense how now you're making more of a positive association? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And I think that's just it is it I think it takes time. It's not like one time of fasting and all of a sudden. Oh my god. I hated greens now I love greens. It's like each time I fast or any time I I Restrict the hardcore restrict calories in my diet It always kind of teaches me something new about my body and I'm always looking for the pot of things I want to want greens. I want to want to sleep better.   It's amazing I read the other days people always ask me what's the difference between craving and Being hungry and that used to be a very difficult question for me to answer cuz I was like, ah, you know, how do I?  I'm so hungry and I say to them.  Let's go eat Mexican. No, man I'm not in the mood for Mexican. What about a burger?  That's what I want to eat. That's a craving when you're hungry and you're legit hungry Everything sounds good anything. Yeah, you put food in front of me and I'm gonna want that I'm actually gonna desire to eat that that is the difference and 100% I experienced that with fasting 100 You could put anything in front of me and I would have looked at it and be like god That looks good. Oh, yeah, the broth and the bus Brussels sprouts that I have to word that was the best broth I've ever had and best bowl of Brussels sprouts I've ever had and I don't think it was the way Katrina prepared it that night I think it was because I was so damn hungry that any and I experienced this when I was Competing so I don't think you necessarily have to fast if that's not your thing But I do believe that you got a restrict and you've got to push yourself to that point where you're that you're not used to because we believe it or not we're all Just totally over saturating ourselves with all this junk and food and even if it's a junk just food period Sometimes you can be a healthy eater But you still are you've trained yourself to eat every two to three hours and so you never really go That long and really understand what it feels like to want some sort of fuel and any fuel Well, it's just a healthy practice to deplete your reserves, you know to just kind of go through that and then you know reintroduce it and I know athletes like I wish I would have known that You know even for performance like just to like restrict and then kind of reintroduce and then get that like Ridiculous energy jolt that I felt after that. It's just like it's amazing and it's funny It's you know as I'm thinking hearing you guys talk You know a lot of growth Happens when we feel uncomfortable a lot of personal growth. So let's use Sadness as an example sadness is an emotion and hunger. I'll put hunger kind of up there. It's a feeling, right? It's it's not quite an emotion But it's a feeling that we have that we don't we don't at all allow ourselves to experience humans in modern Western societies in particular Simply for the most part never experience what real hunger is since we're born.  Nobody wants to be sad, but imagine if we could never feel sadness Imagine all the growth and learning and stuff without sadness. You wouldn't be happy you wouldn't you need the other all yin yin yin That's why that's why fasting when you fast or that's why when you restrict or you do and that's why fasting I believe why fasting is in every major religion and why they advocate for it The reason why you when you fast you feel sharp afterwards is because you're you're not numb You're it's the opposite of numb You're allowing yourself to feel and there's learning and growth that comes from feeling something And if you never allow yourself to feel real hunger, you're not getting the growth from it So, you know, I know it's turned into a fasting, you know conversation, but Really we have fresh on our mind We have fucked ourselves so bad with our food that are you cannot trust your your body's senses anymore The intuitive nutrition guide talks a lot about this. So if you just want a guide and just want to follow something or have some advice It's super inexpensive. You can find in our site mind pump media comm next up is healthy happy and free You've all been working out for years. Do you still find it exciting and fun? Good question She always has great questions. She does. That's your it's your aunt, right? No, this is not anybody connected to me That's not your aunt. No. Oh your aunt is the other she asks good questions to eat sleep run is my yeah That's why healthy happy free eat sleep runs. That's my cousin. Yeah I love they dominate the cause But I you know what yes and no Yes, and no I there's there's times I still find it very exciting and fun and then there's times I don't Because for me a lot of the motivation behind Continuing for years and years and years of doing it is Because I just I want to be healthier. I want to improve my quality of life And so, you know, I treat it that way and sometimes I do the things that I have to do so I can you know Do the things I want to do later that I take that approach to it But there's still our times that are very exciting for me. I love to set new goals You know, I love to set new goals and and try and push my body to different levels I mean, I think probably out of all of us I probably put myself in the most uncomfortable situations as far as their training and routine and diet So I enjoy that I get a kick out of it. So but it's I don't know it's ebb and flow man Sometimes I'm I'm all about it. Sometimes I hate talking about it Sometimes and it's all I talk about all day long and sometimes I enjoy talking about something that has nothing to do With working out. So yeah, I don't know So as as Doug's reading this question, I'm thinking myself like yeah I always love working out and then I think about when I first started working out When I first started working out, I'm you know, 13 years old 14 years old. I'm working out I started out in my parents backyard and It was There's no words. I fell so much in love with Working out and lifting weights and that and this the feeling I had that I got from it and the ability to change my body through and getting stronger and the science and the the the sport and the history and the it was I'll never have that feeling again.   I remember that so I grabbed this and to me it was You know, it was the promise of what it could do for me and all that stuff But I was just excited that I was could buy this adult supplement in a gym So I buy this supplement we walk in and I'll never forget walking in to the machine area And then seeing the freeway there and just looking at everything and I was so excited to be there I was so I was reading the machines. I Me and him did everything literally everything in the gym We did a workout and then we went from one machine and did two or three sets and went to the next machine I did two or three. We were in that gym for Probably three maybe four hours total.  Then I got tired but because I was so excited It was a completely different experience totally exciting totally fun It reminds me of falling in love when you meet someone and you fall in love But at some point do you that feeling goes away? You can't live like that because you'll die and then you become you have this kind of long-lasting Relationship this long-lasting attachment and partnership and that's where I'm at now with exercise for me I'm no I'd no longer get that same Fucking ridiculous excitement that I you know that I got when I was 15 16 years old it evolved into a mature sort of a process totally and that's totally my same experience where I was very Pumped and motivated to work out. It was it was exciting. It was fresh like I felt like man this and of course like the results were ridiculous in the beginning, you know and like everything I was doing was was making impacts and You know over the years like I just would barbell train like crazy For every sport I was doing because I just knew that I it would translate. I would get more explosive I would get more powerful and You know like people would notice and they'd notice my arms my back and all this kind of stuff I get feedback from it and so it's just like keeps driving it and then you know it was kind of like the evolution of like where I go from not being Identified as an athlete anymore and like how do I now kind of steer my way through fitness and kind of make? You know make this process still something that I enjoy and keep part of my my everyday You know lifestyle and it was easy because I always enjoyed the training part of it So that was something that I just would always kept with me, but you know I did get fatigue over barbell training, and I just I had to do something different and That's the great part. There's just so many different Directions that you could take your body through fitness, and I think that You know if you start to feel that fatigue and you start to feel that Ho-hum kind of energy towards it You know really just just look look into something else look into doing something else That's that that maybe novel even if it's for a couple weeks, you know Just get get that spark kind of reignited Because I mean we all kind of go through that where it's like it becomes a chore or job I didn't get my workouts in I didn't get this in I feel the impact right away If I haven't been working out in a while and I feel like shit And I know that that's like a driving force for me to check myself Like I got to get into it.  It makes me remember and here in Sal go back all the way doing as a kid I think that it was really fun when I was trying to piece it together Like the I did I enjoyed the so fun I enjoyed the struggle enjoyed trying to learn I but I really feel like and I'm not by no means am I saying I have figured it all out I'm still learning about my body, but for the most part really understanding grasping You know what my body needs and what I what I need to do to change it a certain way or to build strength or to lean out Or to gain weight to do all those things for the most part I feel like I've put together so I've I've lost the fun in it and I think if Transition into looking at it like more like an investment and sometimes I'm investing heavily into my body and into myself and Sometimes I'm splurging and being irresponsible and I'm totally okay with weaving in and out of that And that I find fun. I find it fun that I can totally Say, you know what right now? I don't have huge fitness goals right now. I'm not trying to compete on a stage I got nothing to prove. I'm not trying to get shredded. I'm not trying to follow some crazy diet right now I'm not trying to figure something out my body is doing. I'm splurging right now, but by splurging to me I'm still responsible because I know that splurging too hard or too long You'd also have a major adverse on my effect and it could also hurt some of my investments So I kind of look at it like that like this every time I work out and I train It's an investment on myself and sometimes I'm just investing enough to keep myself Healthy and in good shape and then sometimes I'm investing very heavy into that and I'm very focused in that arena But I think it's lost its fun like I don't get I don't go to the gym Like this is wow, that was so much fun. I oh my god I never felt that before and I think that you kind of lose that after you've been doing that for a long time And you've kind of figured things out remember the first time because you you and I have a similar History in terms of like we're more from we came more from the bodybuilding side not that I competed but from that world Right. Do you remember the first time you went into a real bodybuilding gym with that felt like? Yeah, what I the last time I remember Expressing something exciting and I actually Justin and I were together and friends and it was before mine pump and why we were working together on level up The last time I got really excited about something was getting in competitive shape because it did take my knowledge to know And I remember him and I would be meeting every week and I come on like problem. This is crazy, dude I'm noticing this and I'm noticing that sharing sharing stuff with him that you know It's all it was all science and all information that I knew but I had never really applied to myself And I had a that was a lot of fun for me competing was a lot So it's not like that long ago that was just a couple years ago that I was competing So I was having a lot of fun, but that's it in order to have fun for me. I need to like Challenge myself in a completely new arena now within fitness then and that was something for me So, you know, but I also don't think I don't think you want that to be your driver because I look at those away It reminds me of people that that let love listening to all these motivational speaker guys like I was just looking at What's his name Andy verse Ella for the first form guys?   It's not real. It's not internal It's not intrinsic, right? I'm not the one who's who's doing that and that will be short-lived I think this is kind of the same thing if you rely on the gym to be fun You'll probably stop investing at one point is I remember like the first time I went into a gold I was 18 and I remember walking in and I saw a t-bar row But the like legit one not what the chest pad not the not the weak sauce one But the actual t-bar row.   But now I mean now for me. I work out. I still enjoy it. I still like it I I'm extremely consistent. I almost never miss workouts unless I'm on a trip or something So I still enjoy it, but it's not this exciting super exciting fun thing It's just I enjoy what it does for me. I enjoy the process. It can be very meditative And that's pretty much it and I think that's the key. That's the key I don't you know what I think is fun and exciting is that I know that I put the work in and the time in to learn And so I love that I have that tool I feel like I have I have Overall all these years of doing so many different things and pushing myself to different levels within the space It's a very good feeling to have that in my back pocket to know that any time I want I can completely Morph and change my physique. I can make myself feel a certain way I know I have that knowing you have that knowledge there Yeah, the knowledge is there then it's only a matter of applying it in whatever direction that you want to go I like that I find that fun I've been that's what I meant by the splurging thing is I find it cool that I can let off the throttle for a few months and Maybe put my energy towards another part of my invest in another part of my life That's showing me different types of returns whether that be family and Relationship or money and business and I can enjoy all the fruits from that and Be not so heavily focused on fitness and not be scared either that like oh my god I lost all my like ten years ago looking at the way I look and feel right now I would be freaking out ten years ago Knowing what I built my physique up to just three four years ago seeing where it's at and seeing where I'm at right now I would be shitting myself But with the level of confidence that I have in myself and knowledge and experience. It's not a big deal to me I get back whenever yeah, I know exactly what it would take me to get back to at whatever point I want to get to Exactly, you know, here's a good challenge if you're one of those people that needs that kind of motivation and that fun I challenge you to complete every maps program.  Mm-hmm. Next question is from banana Yanana What is your opinion on all the hype around?  I've seen so many people on social media Yeah, so I'm on both sides of this right? I really like it and I'm really not a fan of it So I'm not a fan of veganism. I like Movember better But I do I like Movember to but I do like and I and I and I do subscribe to people You know going vegan for a month or trying that I think you I think it'll teach you a lot About yourself your relationship with food. You might notice some really positive effects your body What I don't like and the unfortunate part is I do know that a majority of the people that will go through this Will also all of a sudden now attach themselves to oh my god It's the diet and oh I can't blame and all of a sudden it'll become an ism You know and it turns into that so but I think it would be a great thing I would totally do this. I would we're doing it with keto right now, right? We all just kind of fasted and then we said we're gonna run keto It's probably gonna be about you just have to follow Vegan you arey with what will we come up with February right some kind of carnival go the opposite way right go Keto go hard keto and then maybe go somewhere in between with paleo, and then you move into to like a carb cycling I think it's I just like first off people trying this I think it's good Because it's exposing them to new foods. It's Exposing them to cutting other foods out if people are aware enough it could show them You know positives negatives all kinds of now they don't attach themselves I'm getting I'm getting now that Doug has pulled this up in the screen. Oh, they're blasting you if like Yeah, this is the that's why you feel bad about yourself.  Trying to say that the chemicals in chicken in chicken cause so much sense. Yeah.  This is absolutely brilliant. This is gonna get a lot of people To try to be weak because everybody could do something for a month, right? I like pump tober For us, I think everybody can be like I won't eat meat for a month So I'm gonna try vegan is right. I dare you to listen to mind pump every day for a month. Yeah Let's create a month your mind of right month of my bomb pump pump. February. No, yeah No, I'm I'm I'm cool with it I mean I think because we've all been and I'm probably the person who asked this question Probably thought we would slam it or be all anti I'm not I'm not a fan of The bullshit marketing like you were talking about right now like what the health and all that stuff I think there's lots of benefits to somebody eating this way for a while Just I think it's unfortunate how many people get manipulated though into it This because then it turns into something like just six months ago.  Stay away from the heavily processed foods.  It was like, you know potato chips and it was processed Vegan foods that are made to taste like bacon. Is it just a bunch of isn't most all soy kaka too Soy is altered. Soy is very very very altered heavily covered in You know glyphosates which I feel like most people that are vegan like 80% of the diet makes up of soy products Soy soy has very little flavor and you can Mold it and make it taste like a lot of different things. So when you go To the store and you're thinking yourself.  Oh, it's Doug. Is that saying the uh, these are all vegan products Oreos cliff Doritos, dude. It's marketing. Yeah, okay. Hold on a second. Stop at the top real quick So here's what it says the foods that you can eat that are vegan now They're very smart because what they're trying to do is they're trying to entice. They're trying to entice people Of course pasta spaghetti Uh bread peanut butter ketchup mustard hot sauces rice jelly hummus french fries porridge bagels Oreos, you know doritos laze They are what they're trying to do is they're yeah, bro. Can I can I just say right now that if you ate off that list right there?  Yeah, dude. You're getting fat.   I'm getting Eminem.  I'm all about this diet.  Oh, so smart Very smart.

Welcome, you, to the Fourth Annual ECB Micropodential Policy and Research Conference. This conference is held annually to ensure that we meet regularly and advance our understanding of macropodential policies. This year's focus is on monitoring policy and financial stability, and it represents the conclusion of the ECB's research tax force dedicated to this topic. In my remarks, today I will cover three aspects of macropodential policy and research. First, I will reflect on the economic and financial conditions that may represent challenges for macropodential policy. Second, I will focus on selected achievements at the ECB in advancing the research frontier. And finally, I will address the need of rebalancing capital requirements towards reasonable buffers to allow macropodential authorities to act more effectively in a counter-seqrical manner, especially in adverse economic conditions. As you know, the current environment is characterized by a weakening of the macroeconomic outlook and increasing uncertainty, even though the latest indicators point to a certain level of stabilization of the economic activity. An associated low-for-longer interest rate environment is likely to put pressure on bank profitability. Weak profitability and squeezed margins pose a risk to financial stability as they may hamper banks' intermediation and capital generation capacity. It is thus important to assess the interaction of monetary and macropodential policies while respecting their individual mandates. I am happy to say that quite some research on the interaction of these two policy areas has been undertaken here at the ECB. In particular, two papers of the research task force are dedicated to this issue. One documents the macroeconomic impact of macropodential policy measures and its interaction with monetary policy. A second one sheds light and quantifies the transmission between monetary policy and bank stability. Moreover, ECB research has showcased the particular importance of remaining vigilant about banks' resilience in episodes of increasing cyclical systemic risk. Recent work quantifies how exuberant credit and ex-asset price dynamics lead to large downside risks to bank-level return on assets, putting a banking system's capital at risk over the medium term. The quantification of bank capital at risk can support the calibration of macropodential instruments. In turn, by subjecting the banking sector to specific shocks, a macropodential stress testing framework can help in assessing the capital shortfall in times of stress. Whereas traditional stress testing frameworks focus on initial capital shortfalls, macropodential stress testing frameworks quantify the propagation of costs for banks and the real economy over time. This is the aim of the macro-micro approach which takes into account the heterogeneity in banks' reactions functions. More generally, stress testing has become a key instrument in the macropodential and financial stability toolkit for assessing risks to the banking system in adverse conditions. The bottom-up approach used in the context of the EU-wide stress test relies on banks' own reporting of projections. Based on common scenarios and gives national supervisors and the ECB an important role with regard to quality assurance. Recent research provides tentative evidence that supervisors' scrutiny relating to quality assurance has a disciplining effect on banks' risk taking. We also need to understand how banks will react to the policy measures that are applied to them. A dynamic micro-founded structural model of bank behavior examines changes in capital and liquidity requirements and confirms considerable heterogeneity among banks' reactions. Moreover, our 3D model with default model in the household, non-financial corporations and banking sector has been successfully used in various policy exercises and exemplifies how cutting-edge research can help inform policy decisions. So what's the role of macropodential policy in the current environment? The financial crisis showed that macropodential policies needed to complement supervisory scrutiny by accounting for system-wide macro-financial feedback loops. Macropodential policies called to act counter-cyclically, tightening requirements when we see excessive risk taking and loosening them to avoid a great crunch when risks materialize. Since the crisis, the resilience of euro-area banks has improved significantly and their capital level is currently considered to be adequate. However, in addition to the level of capital, its composition deserves appropriate consideration as well. The macropodential buffers that are currently implemented in the SSM banking system are of a predominantly structural nature and are thus expected to be maintained over the cycle. The counter-cyclical capital buffer, CCYB, is the only buffer that is intended to be released in case of a downturn. However, the CCYB has only been activated by seven of the 19 euro-area countries and currently represents in the aggregate only 0.1% of risk-weighted assets. A lack of releaseable buffers scarps the counter-cyclical role of macropodential authorities. When reaching their combined buffer requirements, banks may uphold capital ratios by disposing assets to avoid the automatic restriction on dividend distribution. If such behavior becomes widespread in the event of systemic stress, it can result in a great crunch, which could aggravate the downturn. This is exactly what we observed in previous crisis episodes and what we should avoid in the future. Macropodential space in the form of realizable buffers could serve as a potential macro-financial stabilization in euro-area countries. The release of the buffers in a downturn should help banks to sustain the flow of credit. In sum, we are in a situation where the overall level of capital requirements is broadly adequate, but the composition may not be optimal. It is therefore important to have a discussion on the need to reallocate capital requirements towards releaseable buffers in a capital-neutral manner. Other national authorities have had or are having similar discussions such as in the United Kingdom and the United States. To me, such a reallocation appears to make sense in the current environment of heightened uncertainty and risks tilted to the downside. The reallocation could be capital neutral because the resulting increase in the CCYB could be offset by a corresponding decrease in other capital requirements. In the case of the Bank of England, it was pillar two capital requirements, as you know. The capital neutral creation of releaseable buffers does not require a regulatory change. Indeed, the CCYB is already enshrined in EU law and transposed in the national context. It is used to address cyclical systemic risks that are common to the entire banking sector. To ensure that all relevant risks in the banking sector are covered, calls for continued close cooperation among all relevant authorities. This includes close coordination of both among micro- and macro-potential authorities, as well as between the ECB and national macro-potential authorities. Obviously, as you know, national authorities will continue to remain first in line to deploy the CCYB to address changing systemic risks in their jurisdictions. Let me conclude. The current macro-financial environment has become more challenging. The lower for longer interest rate environment creates strains on bank profitability with implications for financial stability. This implies that we need to further build our analytical toolkit to identify risks and devise a coherent policy response. It calls for intensifying both our outreach to a state-of-the-art research from academia and our analytical work in house. As mentioned earlier, depending on our understanding on the interplay between monetary and macro-potential policies is a key priority in a low for longer interest rate environment. Furthermore, we aim at better capturing interactions between banks, other market participants, and the real economy in a fully integrated macro-potential stress testing framework, combining macro and micro building blocks. This requires estimating a modeling behavior of financial and non-financial agents to realistically capture their balance sheet adjustments also in times of stress. On the political side, on the policy side, our key priority is to become more agile in fulfilling our counter-scyclical macro-potential policy mandate. We need to ensure that releasable buffers are available to enable the banking system to support the real economy in a downturn. At present, the best option is to incorporate the CCYB in a capital-neutral manner to be able to withstand current handwinds. I wish you all an insightful conference, and thank you very much.


Hello and welcome to this presentation of the STM32 independent watchdog. It covers the main features of this peripheral which can be used either as a watchdog to reset the device when a problem occurs or as a free running timer for application timeout management. The independent watchdog is used to detect and resolve malfunctions due to software failure. It triggers a reset sequence when the counter reaches the timeout value. Since its clock is an independent 32 kilohertz low speed internal RC oscillator or LSI, it remains active even if the main clock fails. Once enabled, it can only be disabled by a reset. One of the main benefits for applications is its ability to run independently from the main clock. Also, the IWDG can be configured through hardware or software using option bytes. And the IWDG counter can be frozen during standby or stop mode. The IWDG features a 12-bit free running down counter. It is clocked by an independent low speed internal RC oscillator at 32 kilohertz. When the IWDG is activated, a reset is generated if the down counter reaches zero or when the down counter is reloaded outside the window, if this option is enabled. The IWDG registers are located in the core voltage domain while its functions are in the VDD voltage domain. This architecture makes it possible for the IWDG to continue operating in stop and standby modes. The 8-bit pre-scaler is used to divide the LSI oscillator frequency. When the IWDG is started, the 12-bit counter starts counting down from the reset value of 0xFFF. To refresh the IWDG counter, the key value 0xAAAA must be written in the key register to reload the counter value. If the down counter reaches the end of the count value 0x000, a system reset is generated. If the window option is enabled, the counter must be refreshed inside the window. Otherwise, a system reset is generated. The IWDG hardware is enabled by the device's option bytes. If enabled, the watchdog automatically starts at power on. To prevent any reset, the key register must be refreshed at regular intervals before the counter reaches zero and within the window, if this option has been selected. The IWDG software start is configured in a few steps. The first step is to write the key register with value 0x000CCCC which starts the watchdog. Then remove IWDG register protection by writing 0x0005555 to unlock the key. Set the IWDG prescaler in the IWDG PR register by selecting the prescaler divider feeding the counter clock. Write the reload register IWDGRLR to define the value to be loaded in the watchdog counter. After accessing the previous registers, it is necessary to wait for the IWDG SR bits to be reset in order to confirm that the registers have been updated. Two options are now available. Enable or disable the IWDG window option. To enable the window option, write the window value in the IWDG WINR register. Otherwise, refresh the counter by writing 0x000AAAA in the key register to disable the window option. The IWDG timebase is prescaled from the LSI clock at 32 kHz. The IWDG PR prescaler register can divide the LSI clock frequency by 4 up to 256. The watchdog counter reload value is a 12-bit value written in the IWDGRLR register. A formula can be used to determine the IWDG timeout. The IWDG time is based on the LSI period and its prescaler as well as the selected watchdog counter reload value. Given the parameter limits, the IWDG timeout value can be between 125 microseconds up to 32.8 seconds. Once a reset is generated by the IWDG peripheral, the corresponding flag, IWDGRSTF, is set in the RCC CSR register to inform the source of the reset. When the microcontroller enters debug mode, core halted, the IWDG counter either continues to work normally or stops. Depending on the DBG IWDG stop configuration bit in the DBG module, MCU APB1 frees register 1. The IWDG can be active in all running and low power modes except in the shutdown mode where it is powered down. Nevertheless, in stop 0, stop 1, stop 2 and standby modes, the watchdog counter can be frozen by programming the corresponding bits in the flash OPTR register.


An undosted high cuts set in a centre stela kibabola an adil mimak yu apemi to several years and five years in prison respectively. The were convicted for forcible entry and conspiracy to commit a felony. The convict were dragged to court by the police for unlawful evasion of land in Undotown. The trial judge, Justice Williams, wrote to Miolabideh, convicted to do while he discharged and acquitted the third defendant, Ojuk Bahutakwe. It is possible they win but in this case Justice was delivered. Justice was delivered for dedicated to the poor people that own their land in Undotown. The case that brought out of this case is the case of somebody who said her father had six thousand seven hundred acres of land in Undotown. I say what is the size of Undotown, he said one person and he began to bulldoze peoples and oppressing them, took them to Alakban even the organized to shoot gun at me. Police came from Stas and Swat on Trump charges against me over land matter because I'm pursuing this case but I'm happy today Justice is delivered. The person have no land, they still went to the point of forging, inducing or leering like said the judicial officer to give possession to somebody that have no land.


Hey everybody, this is Brian, and welcome to the 43rd LAMP tutorial. Today we're going to be discussing cloning. So, what is a clone? Well, clone is an exact copy, and let's examine what we got here. We have a class called person. It has a public called name. We're making a new instance. We're setting the name to Brian, and we're just echoing it out. You can see there's my name right there. Alright, now, let's say we want to do something. So, we'll say, oh, actually just function, do something. And what we want to do here is we want to actually change this. And what do I mean by change this? Well, we're going to change the name of this. So, we're going to say bar, and we're just going to say my daughter's name, Heather. We'll do something, and then we're going to just echo it out again. Now, notice how we have our instance. We set the property. We echo it out. We then do something with that variable, and then echo it out again, and the name is changed. Well, it's because we changed the name. PHP uses what's called a by reference, which means we are not handing a copy of this object. We're handing the actual object over. So, any changes we make in this function will affect the original object. Well, sometimes we don't want that behavior. Sometimes we want to, I don't know, predict the future or do something without affecting the original object. So, what we need to do here is call B, clone, and we're just going to say bar. So, we're going to make a clone of this object, and then work with the clone. You see how now when we run it, we do everything as before. Echo it out. There's a name. Do something. We're making a clone. We're working with the clone right here, and then we echo it back out, and the original object is still the same. So, let's just echo this just to see. So, as you can see now, there's the original, and then Heather is the clone's name, which because she's my daughter, that's actually pretty appropriate, and then there's our original object again. So, that is the foundation of cloning. We're taking this original object and making an exact copy of it in memory. That way we can manipulate the object without affecting the original. Pretty simple, pretty easy to understand, but it's one of those gotchas where people will make a function pass a variable to it. They don't realize they're passing it by reference. They change a bunch of things, and then they get all the changes back when they didn't want them. So, that's all for this tutorial. I hope you found it educational and entertaining, and thank you for watching.
