Everybody welcome to today's live stream and we got a lot of things to go over. I mean a lot of things go over So let's just jump right in so leave this all comes down to the title and the thumbnail and everything else It's just about rumors and how that's going to push up the Bitcoin market Bitcoin and crypto market But how it's it's like lighting It's like putting gas on fire, but on the same token. Yeah, you can also get burned So this is what we're talking about today rumors So this today We talked yesterday about of course the spot Bitcoin ETF and how it's gonna be great And we talked about some of the some low-cap gems that people might be getting into but I said, you know It might be a good idea to take a look at the Bitcoin ecosystem and we laid out three of course we talked about Bitcoin and then we talked about stacks which is a layer two for smart contracts and then we talked about ordinals or transcriptions essentially NFTs in the Bitcoin blockchain and We thought we took a look at ordinal or orty one of the tokens and how it had just had a monstrous run But then this morning I saw this this is Luke that sheer nailed it Roman Catholic husband father of eight children Wow Bitcoin core developer and CTO at Ocean mining So into Definitely knows his way around Bitcoin and he talks and he put out a tweet He said hey a PSA public service announcement inscriptions I ordinals are exploiting a vulnerability in Bitcoin Core to span the blockchain Bitcoin core has since 2013 allowed users to set a limit on The size of extra data in transactions. They rely they relay or mine By office getting their data as program code inscriptions bypass this limit So basically what he's saying is like we don't like ordinals. We don't want them to be on the Bitcoin blockchain They suck and we're gonna remove them This bug was recently fixed in Bitcoin knots v2 5.1 It took longer than usual due to my workflow being severely disrupted the end of last year Bitcoin core is still vulnerable in the upcoming v2 26 release. I can only hope it will finally get fixed blah blah blah, okay So I thought it was interesting because I'm like wow Here's a core developer talking about that, but then I thought myself. All right, is this all core developers speaking and The question from Jasper is is so if this is a bug or vulnerability is fixed Doesn't mean the ordinals and BRC 20 tokens would stop being a thing. I'm confused. Please explain it. He said, yeah, that's right Once we get this all out. We're gonna get rid of ordinals, which I gotta tell you That would be pretty bad for number 53, which is already which has done in a massive run Over the last 30 days. Look at this in 30 days is up 780 86.5 percent And I'll ask seven days up to in 29 percent a lot of people got in this it has a market cap of 1.32 billion dollars and the trading volume has been 1.8 almost 2 billion dollars in trading volume What the heck is going on? So I Just took a look at what's happening in the Twitterverse and I said wait wait wait hold off on these already buys Let's let's get to the bottom of this and then I said, hey, uh-oh because it went from a high of like 62 50 6277 or something that and it dropped all the way to 45 dollars in less than like 12 hours So you're thinking self this is gonna crash all the way and of course Steven says who would publicize this vulnerability? And he says PS. I got some already now Here's where it gets interesting This is insight from F2 pool and this is was put out by Wu blockchain Bitcoin developer Luke dasher responded that after the vulnerability is fixed It means that ordinals of BRC 20 will no longer exist Shen Yu co-founder of F2 pool said in community Bitcoin is not a theorem That's a that's a pretty good stab and developers do not have full decision-making power Meaning essentially that the community will decide and the the Bitcoin operators the miners will decide and I got to tell you last week Bitcoin had higher transaction fees than a theorem did because of why ordinals so I was saying myself Why would they get rid of that? That's what the people want the people But here we are and then there was another little piece. Where did I put it?  He goes. I was asked by the block for my thoughts on Luke and here's what he says Luke has made some sporadic contributions to open source Bitcoin products over the years But he does not own the chain co-founder Bitcoin Ordinals project taproot wizards. We told the block He's been rage-tweeting about ordinals inscriptions since February I was unable to stop them We expect the coping and seeding to continue as ordinals for the shrink in their position as the main use case of the Bitcoin chain We'd like to use this opportunity to thank Luke for hosting our wizard J pegs on his Bitcoin nodes forever So again, it is amazing to me. Let me just break this down the last 24 hours Here's what happened to ordinals or to orty the token You had 63 dollars Somebody tweets that they're gonna remove it and it goes from 63 to 43 That's quite a drop and then of course everybody gets it sorted out and then here it comes up again So again pay attention to power that is the rumor because they can move markets I hate to say that. I mean, let's be honest I think Jerry's got a point on some of these things and now some of you're looking at this like like saying well I'm too late Bob. We told us yesterday. I missed the boat. You didn't miss anything. I want you to I want to show you a chart real quick Would you buy this right now?  But look at this. It didn't do anything This is back in 2020 didn't do anything The price was 50 cents 60 cents, you know for months and months and months and then Somehow it just started to blow up and it went from 60 cents Over here 90 cents it doubled dollar dollar 80 or so and then it came over here and did 370 And then it came here 478. That's a pretty good run from August To June Two months roughly, right? Would you I'm just gonna ask you right now. Would you buy into this? You don't know what the token is. Would you buy this? We'd be like I miss my opportunity. There's no way Because if you look at that you're like that's that's already pumped. I missed it. I missed it Well, guess what friends? That's Solana and Solana You are here You are all the way down here and if you would have said I missed it at over Louise over here. You missed all this So I'm not telling you what to do. I'm not a financial advisor I'm just saying there's a lot of runway to happen and this is a very strange Bull run. This is the most Frantic frantic that I've seen so far and there will be some pullbacks There will be some problems, but I think this is one of those runs that we could really see I mean real face nothing stuff. Anyway, let me show you think about that in the comment section and speaking of rumors This might be one of the reasons why yesterday we saw a big pump And again, I asked the community because I'm not that smart I need the help of everybody who's smarter than me, which is not hard to do I might add and I said can anyone confirm the rumor that Katar is adding Bitcoin to its sovereign wealth fund because this was from Max Kaiser. No problems Max He seems to really love Bitcoin Let's be fresh be truthful And he put this out. He says the God candle a hundred thousand dollar uptick and Bitcoin is in play It will shift the global access of wealth and power in one tick. I Have one word for you a hundred thousand dollar Bitcoin Katar the rumors are getting very loud on this The SWF rumored to look to buy a half a trillion in Bitcoin and added to their Sovereign wealth fund and then on top of that Mad monkey send me this he goes hey Rob's looking pretty good the mirror of Qatar just landed in El Salvador So that means they're gonna that might be true half a trillion dollars put it into Put into a sovereign wealth on a Bitcoin. Well, no wonder it's going up. I don't even know what it is today. I lost count but then Documenting Cardano made a good point. Why would Qatar announce or leak this before buying? Good question. Must they've already done it already? And the next thing is here From matrix. It's not I don't think so The Qatar investment authority Estimated there's 475 billion of their wealth fund of assets under management 475 billion They're missing 25 billion.  I'm just saying kind of fishy. I Don't know where to believe that or not. That just is a rumor. But again, what can rumors do? Well? I'll show you what they can do. They can make Bitcoin go again bobble up above 44,000 Did it hit 45 now? It's a 439.  I'm saying they're bad I'm just saying watch yourself because guess what some rumors are legit some maybe not and lastly Whoops another rumor, which I like this one This is from Kagi Kagi's got a great YouTube channel and on on X it says breaking my source say with confidence that there's a big possibility Of the sandbox game moves to the Ron or Ronan network Sandbox hundreds of partnerships of big names of brands such as Ubisoft Snoop Dogg Biggie deadmau5 I will say this Helium not too long ago moved to Solana. Do they not? It's gonna work out pretty well for helium. I'm just saying what it happened. I don't know, but it's an interesting prospect and So far Kagi's been pretty good. Well, he had him on August 30th His top picks were this was three months ago Ronan the Louisville X game Swift and Avogacchi He did great on all of them as a matter of fact so With all these things happening, I had to have Kagi back on and we did a quick little interview This is about 12 minutes or so and listen to what he says about Ronan and a couple of different web 3 Prospects that I even I didn't know about so I'm gonna play the interview right now Then we'll come back and we'll do a little Q&A and we will go from there So just take a listen. Let me add this in and away we go so we know that the web 3 crypto gaming landscape is absolutely exploding and Thankfully, I've got somebody much smarter than me to talk about it And we've got Kagi back on the show for the second time Kagi welcome back to the show. Thanks for coming on Thank you, man. Thank you for bringing me back. I always enjoy my time here Well, this is my second time but the first time I enjoyed myself. So let's get it Let's get it was fun time and just to bring everybody back in like a little bit walk down memory lane You can find Kagi. He's on a plethora of different social media platforms Twitter X being one of them a lot of good content over there also I got his YouTube channel links in the description and the last time you were here Kagi We took a look at just web through gaming and I wanted to get the best and the brightest in the field So it was you stash Johnny hustle and Jesus Martinez's formerly classy games and the plays that you laid out for us Which is now in Dan teaches crypto on the 100% free website. Everybody's just signed for that. I'm in spam Yeah, but your plays were pretty solid Ronin alluvium a meetable X game swift and avagacchi And this was on August 30th. I'll remind everybody and of course I've been hearing this a lot from stash forever But in the last oh, I don't know 30 60 days you guys have been proven right So you had Ronin what you called back then at 50 cents and now we're cheese the leaves are out $1.20 a Mutable X you call it over here at 54 cents even before that and it topped out a dollar 38 Now we're at $1.42 game swift again It's with seven cents and I went up to get lord 47 cents and avagacchi Okay, kind of flat and a little bit of a pump in last 90 days, but not too bad and now of course One of your bigger plays is Ronin and pixels So I got to ask you the question because I tried playing this and Like it's a very simple game and of course farming But why pixels and why Ronin and then we'll get into some of your other top 10 plays and what you think Yes, absolutely. I think First let's start with Ronin, right Ronin reality is the number one Uh gaming chain every single one of those chains that I mentioned before their potential they have potential like immutable Um game swift these are a change with potential They're they don't actually have the completed product But you know we are in a speculative market So people love to look at the future, right? But if we're talking about pure numbers and pure products Out in the market and users as well Ronin is number one in the gaming chains. Most of the chains do not have their product ready So that is why a lot of games are actually wanting to build on Ronin and they have a little bit of a closed ecosystem Um, they rather not dilute Their user base by just bringing a bunch of games just to look good So they are picking games one by one And making sure that they have the most upside For the users and for themselves as well, right when you look at immutable, they have like 200 games, right? Right, but there's a lot of those games might fail. But that's another strategy.  So that is a good strategy in my opinion Especially in the market where a lot of people come here to grab liquidity and get out by the end of the bear mark The bull market Gotcha. So talk to us talk to us real quick about the Ronin chain itself. I know they have pixels on there What do they have right now or what is coming out? What's the big play there because it sounds to me like Ronin the chain Is it like a studio? Is it a chain? Is it just one single game? How does this work? It's a chain and that is what chains are doing right now. They're acting as publishers as well They're acting as publishers So it's a blockchain But they're also Allowing games to come in and use their infrastructure so that they can publish their games Under the running network and immutable is doing the same thing games with this doing the same thing Right. So you can actually download the mavis hub Which is a hub where you can find a lot of games and right now we have act infinity machines arena tribe sir um There's some others there wild forest as a really good game and pixels and there's a few other games coming next year Next year. They're gonna ramp it up. Um, there's some there's some There's some leaks out there of some mmorpg coming to Ronin's like I said, it's everything is little by little They have a lot of requests a lot of requests. We just recently saw the head of Ronin Say on twitter. She said I am Dealing with 80 deals as of right now Um, this is overwhelming, but it's exciting and all of that. So you see like they're doing it Behind the scenes. They're not just flashing. Oh here partnership partnership partnership It's a very meticulous way to go about it. Holy smokes 80 deals I I think and this is what we talk about here in the channel We take a look at because we went through a pretty brutal bear market now. We're coming out of it It's been quite some time But I've always said this before the ones that actually build in the bear will crush it in the bull And I think that is one of those systems like what you guys did I mean for all of the the web three in the game And you guys took your took your lumps for quite a long time Like I said, I hear crypto stash on this two years ago three years ago And I'm like, all right, buddy. Sure. And now here we are right now And I got to tell you like if you got 80 Not and we know that 80 games are coming But they'll probably it'll be like an incubator probably like look Okay, this game looks good. This one's falling off. We're gonna do this one They're gonna take the best look at 80 deals like 80 potential. That's what That's what they're chiming. Yeah, gotcha. You know, we had uh, we had uh, Jesus Martinez on from what was classy Games and he talked about that was his big play as well Which was he goes individual games are great We talked about alluvium and that type of thing and star atlas and such But he said, you know, if you if you really want to take a look at its studios and notes And he goes, I like studios. He named games with I think we talked about ronin So I can definitely see that but any other piece of of ronin that we should be aware of of as far as like investors or Here's another another question for you People have said to me like you got to play the games, man You got to play the games because that's where all the enjoyment comes from and that's where actually I get the most NFTs the most tokens from actually playing the games. Is that There's somewhat accurate Yeah, I mean, there's some games that do have air drops as of right now There's a lot of games that want to bring players So there's a big opportunity if you don't want to Spend money in terms of like investment and you just want to put in your time There is games out there That do have air drops right now because they want to bring those users in right they want to lure those users in So it's a great opportunity for the people that don't want to invest and just sit back If you really want to be active There is a lot of games out there. You just got to pay attention So right now I just uploaded a video on a new game that has a seven million token air drop For free to play players so anybody can participate that is seven percent of their supply And it's one of the best looking games out there in terms of In terms of the gaming ecosystem and it's not AAA It is A pixelated game as well But I do see massive massive potential because they are in the magic ecosystem And the magic ecosystem for the people that don't know They are they got the biggest bag of arbitram From the air drop Right the biggest bag. So in the in the dow. They're the top. They're the top So that's the reason why they got that air drop is because they're an important piece of the arbitram ecosystem The magic the treasure now. Yeah, there's a very important piece of them Of arbitram and within this if you hit games right here You're gonna see they have a lot of indie games. That is their bread and butter in the games So if you go to kurota beach, which is the six game Number six. Yep, that one is having an air drop And they have two types of games. They have a pvp arena and they also have an adventure mode Holy smokes. These guys had a lot of games as well. It looks like everybody's just coming out. That's the thing That's okay. So what we know about this and then before I move on just to talk about like validators For ronin you can become a validator. I just took a look at it As we were before we came on and just you know, if you want to become a validator for ronin Watch out because the requirements that I can see right here is 250,000 ronin And I think right now ronin Is roughly a buck 20. So if you want to go that route, uh, maybe that's for you. That's I don't know if that's for me, but uh, you know, these types of games could be the big thing. So Gaggy we we we talked about ronin and we talked about magic, but there was a video just put out Actually end of october 100x crypto crypto games and he talked about most of things that we talked about in our original video I mean he talked about game swifts. He talked about gala. He talked about what else did you have? immutable Mira maria is Pumping like hell. Yeah crazy maria. Yep. And then also there was one that she's talked about scale Yes, this is one that we actually had talked about on the on the on the channel as well You know, I think that that drawed me to this project was zero gas gas lists type of ecosystem What do you can tell us about this one? Yeah, I mean scale full transparency. They paid me for this. Um, but like like like every Like every chain right now. They're trying to find their market fit, right? So gaming of course is their market fit. It's the one that makes the most sense So they have an incentive program, which I think is really interesting A lot of games cannot get into ronin a lot of games cannot get into immutable A lot of games cannot game into games because there's a lot of people applying to be part of this ecosystem because they have They have the most hype So you got something like scale with they're using some type of zk technology And they have a hundred million dollars to give out To games so they're incentivizing people to go. So that's why I took the sponsorship. I'm like, yo, this makes sense I gotta make a game. We gotta make a game tag. We gotta make a game right now Yeah, if uh, if a game is looking for funding, they're looking for a place to to have a home Yeah, they might not have the users but you might take a bet there As a game developer and be like, you know what I'm gonna go there. I'm gonna get some money And I'm gonna build my game out, right? So that's why I took that that sponsorship It's not like I know a lot about scale, but they do have a few games on it So first of all, thank you for saying that They paid me to do that because in this in this somewhat dirty industry that we are in It's very uncommon for people to say those things. So thank you k you appreciate it Oh, yeah, I I said it in the video too. I don't have a problem with that. I mean Whatever, you know, hey man. Hey man. Look if you get paid and everything in in description Of course, I say this affiliate link does not of course a sponsor is right above your head right there crypto ira at I trust and uh, unfortunately ben doesn't pay me for into the crypto verse, but it is an affiliate link If you want to check that out go be my guest So to wrap this up keggy excellent answers good things to look at let's uh, let's shift gears for the last question and just talk about Where things are going and of course the different speed bumps that we're going to run up against which are people We're going to say this isn't needed.  Why are we doing this web? Two works just fine crypto isn't even needed in general So what i'm coming from is there was a piece that we talked about this is uh, john reed stark I like john. He's uh, you know pretty down-to-earth guy hates crypto, but not a bad guy He's the president john reed start consulting uh former chief sec officer in an enforcement And he was gave a comment Yesterday about Crypto and he said this he goes because he doesn't understand why it's pumping He says and believe me this john knows about crypto. He says for crypto. There's no inherent value There's no cash flow. There's no yield. There's no employees. There's no management. There's no balance sheet There's no product. There's no service so on this one, I think When people from the outside looking in they take a look at crypto and they just see like the bitcoins Or they see like the xrp or the bit connects or whatever you want to say What can you say to people like that? Especially people who are watching the video right now going? Where's the utility? What actually gets done here? Where's the use case? Yeah, absolutely. For example, we could the games with as an example games with is a blockchain That will have many games, right if they succeed at what they're doing. It's having a platform like steam That means that all this transaction all this revenue is going to Be brought back a percentage of it. I think it's like a 20 percent 20 percent of all the revenue is going to be brought back Two token holders and stakers So if we're talking about a platform that is worth right now like steam A couple billion dollars in valuation based on their revenues if games we A gameshift achieves What they're intended to do something like steam they like the steam platform That means that all that revenue 20 percent of all that revenue is going to go back to token Stakers and we're talking about real yield. We're not talking about more tokens There is a part of that 20 percent that is more tokens, but there's a another part that is a real yield So if you want to take a bet on games with into the future 10 years down the line This becomes a multi-billion dollar company producing A massive amount of revenue With trading NFTs premium currencies and all of that You can capture all that value through the gameshift token Now that doesn't mean that's going to happen next year or in two years That's probably going to take five to ten years. That's the truth So there is use cases for crypto The thing is that we don't have the regulations in place to be able to do more revenue share Tokens that's a problem That is the main issue that we have but gameshift is not in the united states. So they're doing it So very few projects have tokens with real yield But that is the future real yield is basically the same thing we see in the stock market dividends, right? Right So, yeah, he's right But there's there's also something with the regulations that's happening that doesn't allow you to to Provide real yield for the people that hold the tokens. Sure.  Well, I got this cool You know pickaxe and I got this cool thing.  Can I get any money back? No Well, now maybe like parents look at that go, okay, let me get this straight So I can pay for this and then maybe you can sell this to somebody else in the game Or maybe you can bring this over to another game within the ecosystem of a game swift of a ronin or something else Well, that sounds a lot better than me just putting it into roblox and uh, or mine or Minecraft and just you know ton of different fun. So I can see a little bit of a utility right there Moving forward. So definitely and let me tell you like the president of roblox just came out I don't know like a month ago saying talking about nfts. Yeah in the future. We want to implement nfts So I and the president of roblox as well. He's invested in the sky mavis team. He's invested in ronin network So obviously these people are invested in many things.  I'm sure they're invested in hundreds of companies anything from ai to crypto to whatever but the president of roblox does know the sky mavis team very well and He's taken a look very closely to see how this Gaming ecosystems Develop over time so that he can take the best out of that and see how he can implement it in roblox in the future Because this is the future and he knows it Well said gaggy man.  It's a lot to digest So I would highly recommend because they're gonna start moving faster and quicker Especially as we get into this bull run end of the year moving into 2024 and a bitcoin halving. So It'd be so kind. I think it might behoove you to uh Enjoy the content that gaggy puts out on x also on YouTube find them over there great game or great videos like the hundred x gaming series And of course all the different games you can actually get into and i'm not like hard games to play Like some of these like triple a me and gaggy are on the same wavelength I think it's going to be a casual type of games. It'll take over But only time will tell only time will tell yes Yes, and I think the last thing I would say man If people used the coin market cap watch list that I gave last time It's a great way if we look at that watch list we can see I would say most of the tokens did pretty well since we talked about it And you're right. I would got you didn't do that well But bro that watch list is filled with A bunch of tokens that did well at the end of the day guys Everything is going to pump. We're speculating here We are speculators. You know what we'll do so in the description everybody I'm going to put in that watch list gaggy you bring it over to me and then I'll let everybody View it you guys go from there. All right So everybody thanks so much for stopping by gaggy I appreciate it once again if you like today's video give it a thumbs up Consider subscribing everything we talk about is time sensitive and things are going to move fast So subscribe to somebody to get your information, but that's it for today. Thanks so much for stopping by See you on the next one Yeah, well wait because we're going to do a little Q&A So again, I want to thank gaggy for coming on for the second time and dropping some really great information also I have to apologize because The last time he was on he told me about this watch list and I didn't put it in so Uh, where am I? Ah, here I am. So I added this in there's a link in the description for Caggy's personal watch list of gaming ip coins and some of these I've never Heard of like this one. Has anybody heard of wilder world? Well, it's up 34 in seven days star atlas. Yeah smooth love potion. All right That I think is a xy wagmy games Again, I don't know what that is ztx spinelins. What 56 percent It's something to watch out for and then also these are the gaming chain tokens gallo up 17 Everybody knows that one magic what he was talking about 14 percent. We mix 15 60 percent in a week So just take a look at that. That's personally what uh caggy is Observing and watching on his watch list itself and you can check that out Again links in the description and then lastly is a quick reminder We're gonna have nfa live tomorrow. That'll be on my site It's uh me ben and the cryptiverse and guy from com bureau Actually guy is going to be out saving the world do whatever he does.

I do appreciate it Like and subscribe all that good stuff


One slow day at a time, we will make Draft Champions screen again. Now that that's out of my system, I do want to say thank you. I'm surprised you guys showed so much love on the last draft video. And today, I can only draft a player if I know exactly how old they are. I ran it. I'm gonna be using Wikipedia for this information, okay? And I know your teacher wouldn't be proud of me. So I'm gonna build the best team that I can, only using players whose ages I definitely know. And due to coach's countness, how would I know how old these dudes are? I'm going with Matt Nagy because why not? Calvin Beecham, Daniel Hunter, Maurice Hurst. Hunter's kinda old? I don't know what you would consider kinda old, but I'm pretty sure he's like 27. You're like, that's right at the tipping point? 27. Oh, he just turned 27. I'm a god. Gronk is old. And I want Goddard, and Goddard is young. Goddard's gotta be like, oh, how young is he? I'm gonna say 25. Guys, we're six.  Whoa, whoa, whoa. How old is Gronk? I'm gonna say 33. I actually don't know though. Ah! He's 32. Oh, he's a Taurus like me though. His birthday's May 14th. I'm May 4th. We don't care. Let me tell you. We don't care. And the last one is Hunter Henry 29. 26. All right. I'm a bumble. I think if I don't get any of them right, I gotta take the worst option. I think Gronk is the worst option here. It's the lowest overall, so. Akeem Hicks is old. I feel like I've been hearing the name Akeem Hicks for so long. I'm gonna say 31. He's 31 and he turns 32 in a week. I just got bailed out. Let's go. Byron Jones. Devon McCordy. Jibril Peppers. Jibril Peppers has got to be 28. I feel so confident in that. Devon McCordy, how old are you?  You're 30. He's 34. Oh my God. For Byron Jones, he's not that old, but he's still older. I think he's older than Jibril. And Jibril is 26. I'm gonna say Byron Jones is actually 28. He's 29. I think the worst pick here is Byron Jones though. So I'll take Byron Jones. Dude, this is harder than it looks, all right? Hey, and you know what time it is, boys? It's Raid Shadow Legends time. The best game that you could possibly have on your phone. I'm always talking about Raid Shadow Legends. The badass champions, the insane bosses. But today I want to dive into the true end game content. And that is the Doom Tower. The Doom Tower is basically a gigantic prison. Now inside this prison is a ton of incredibly powerful monsters that need to be contained from the rest of the world. This was working out pretty well, but right now the Doom Tower is kind of starting to fall apart. Luckily, people like me and you can go into the Doom Tower, crack some skulls, and keep it contained. There's nothing I love more than a good boss fight. The Doom Tower's got it, and it's nuts. And if you want to beat some of the awesome bosses in the Doom Tower, you're gonna need a squad of awesome champions. Let me show you some of mine. Recently I've been upgrading Ugo. She's an awesome support champion. And then this is Jirojin. He's my tank. He just soaks up all the hits for my squad. Plus there's a ton of new stuff in Raid right now.

I'm thinking about saying 30 for Jack Conklin. But since these two dudes were all 27, I'm going to say 27 for Jack Conklin. He's 27. Jack Conklin. TJ Watt is 27. And I want him. He's got to be 27. I think I actually know that one. I'm a god. I'm a god about that. TJ Watt. Let's go, baby. Lamar Dak Justin Fields. Lamar? Lamar Jackson 24. And that's who I want. January 7th, 1997. Lamar Jackson is 25. Dak Prescott. I wouldn't get you anyway. Justin Fields got to be 21 almost, right? Or is he 22? I'm going to say Justin Fields is 22. Oh, he is 22. And he's March 5th, 1999. He's 22. He's a little baby. You know what?  So to appease Bears fans, I am going to go Justin Fields. Sexy running background. How old are Khmer and Cook? How long have they been in the league? I feel like they've been such stud running bags lately for so long, but they can't to be as good as they are. They can't be over 28. I think all three of the dudes right here, I think they're all 26. Alvin Khmer at age 26. July 25th. Alvin Cook age. August 10th. 26 years old. They're just their prime running backs. You've got to be somewhere around that age to be a prime running man. I think I want Khmer. I want Khmer. I get the choice here. Dante Jackson. Let's say 27. 26. Lageria Sneed is young. 24. 24. 25. I got Lageria Sneed right. So that's who we're taking. Odell. Odell's washed. We don't have to go there. He's got to be 28. Oh, he's 29. Oh my God. Oh, just because it was just his birthday, he got released by the Browns on his birthday. I should have known that. I should have known this one. He got released by the Browns on his birthday, November 5th. DJ Moran would say 25. 24. I have to imagine Chase Claypool can't be younger. That much younger because he's such a beast, but he's very young. Honestly, Chase Claypool is 23. Jordan year feels like me. July 7th, 1998. 23 years old, Chase Claypool. A little Mac. Jair Alexander. Shaq Lawson. I already have T.J. Wa. So I really want to get Jair Alexander up.  He's got to be young, bro. There's no way, no shot. He's over 25. Jair Alexander is 24. February 9th, 1997. Jair Alexander is 24 years old. I don't got to think about anything else. I knew I wanted him, bro. He's a beast. Quinn Nelson's kind of young too. Quinn Nelson cannot be over 26. And Joku cannot be over 27. CD Lam cannot be over 22. I'm going to go 23 CD Lam, 26 in Joku, 25 Nelson. Quinn Nelson is 25. Let's go. And Joku is 25. Damn. So I did get that one wrong, but CD Lam could literally be 22 actually. He's 22. That's insane. That's literally insane, dude. He's 22. He's born in 1999. April 8th, 1999. He's almost a 2000's baby.  I think the best figure is Quinn Nelson. Someone for Khmer to run behind and it's also the only one we got right. Zack Martin got to be 30. He's been in the league for so long. McCaffrey, I'm thinking is 27. And Michael Thomas is pretty old too. Michael Thomas might be 27, 28. Martin, is he 30? He is 30 on the shmoney. I could have a God tier offensive line. McCaffrey, are you 27? Oh, he's 25. He's way younger than I thought. And Michael Thomas, I said 27. He is 28. So Zack Martin's actually the only one I got right. So I have to go second. And boom. Bosa's young. Vita Vea, I don't know. I would love Vita Vea, but I don't know. Buda Baker, also relatively young. I'm going to say 26, 26, 26.  Buda Baker is 25. Vita Vea is 26. Let's go. And Bosa is 24.  Hey, yo, what the f***? All right, but Vita Vea, that's my boy. You guys know I love Vita Vea. I'm good as well. Urban! Urban Meyer laying it down on a 21-year-old. That's my idol. Well, let's look at this squad. Only consisting of players whose age I knew correctly or the worst possible option. Quinn Nelson, Ryan Jensen, Zack Martin, Conklin. We got Gronk, Corey Davis, Bobby Tanyin, Justin Fields and Camara. That is a back to life. Definitely never used. Excited to. JPP, Bates, TJ Watt, Jamal Adams. Dude, I actually really like this team. Come on. I hate EA so much. Dude, I didn't even get a game. But what even just happened? Did I just get a loss and now I don't have my team anymore?  I'm back to the start. Let's see to what degree we can build this team back. Well, we know Dalvin Cook. He was 26. Gronk, okay. We're on to something. We had Von Belfin the last one. He was 27. I don't know any of these guys. Underspeed is like 27, 28. I'm gonna say 28. Underspeed 28. You know what? Speedrun. Age, age, speedrun. Jonathan Allen. We got that one right before. Bradley Chubb is young. I'm gonna say Bradley Chubb is 26. He's 25. Darn it. We'll take Jonathan Allen then. Dude, Tyler Lockett's getting washed. He's gotta be like, I don't think he's as washed as Theland, but he's gotta be like 29. 29 on the shmoney. Taylor Jones, we had that before. All right, clean. Justin Fields, welcome back, baby. We got Bears fans. You got clutched up. Chase Claypool, welcome back.  It's just the same pit of players. Laramie Tunzel, welcome back. Frank Clark is on the last one. Solid. O.J. Howard's the other one, isn't he? 26. I would like him. 26. Out in the money. Let's go. We got O.J. Howard. Jesse Bates, welcome back to the team. Brian Jensen, welcome back to the team. Nandek Jackson is 26. Yes, 26. All right, money. Jabril, welcome back, baby. Byron Jones was on the last one. He's 19 and out. See, he's 29. He's now age 29 years old. Let's go. Kelsey, how old is Travis? I'm going to say Travis, Kelsey is also 29. 32. He's playing good for 32. Ramchik is definitely old. Ryan Ramchik, I'm going to say Ryan Ramchik is 27. April 22nd, 27. Beat him up. I have to take beat him up. As much as I want to like Marlon Humphrey or Ramsey, I got to take beat him up. We get to welcome back to the squad. See, we can actually get into game now. Marlon Humphrey, Fred Wagner. Wagner. Wagner. Dude, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to use her. I'm going to use her V-to-V the whole time. Ooh, dude. I have never done this. Let's go. Get right through him. Getting down on Frank Clark. He's throwing a lob. Nothing going. 37. Dude, I've never done this before. Paul Rush got through him and that's a pick. What? Dude, I'm in his grill. Justin Fields. Let's just, let's just gunsling down this. I'm not wasting any time. Oh, look at how wide open Delvin Cook is.  Breaks two tackles. Justin Fields having the best stat line in his career already. I'm a 7 out of 10. 20 yards. First and 10. I want something deep, bro. Um, I'm going for it. I'm going for it all, baby. Go up, Claypool. That was greedy. That was a pretty good throw from Fields. For how deep that was. Oh, he's there. Oh, he's not there. What kind of throw is that, Justin Fields?  How? Oh, Delvin's? Chill out. Oh, get up. No.  Oh, this is definitely single-carb. This is definitely man. Go. Yes. Fields?  He's out of bounds.   Justin Fields just made the play of the season. Oh, he's going to do it again, though. Horizontally, I didn't even stop and go. I literally wiggled. Dude, OJ Howard's about to have the game of his life. Another one to OJ Howard. Oh my God. Is that anything open? Oh, he does now. I'm going to play the game. Simmons, don't let. No. That was a one. He just one handed that. Yup. He's got to go for two here. This is being so unbubble. What are you running? Oh, Delvin's does not catch it. And it's a five-point ball game. Let's go. Claypool is so open. Unbelievable. Actually, I completely lied. OJ. Right in the middle of the field is a wide open Howard. Dude, he is basically my whole offense right now. I think I'm just going to keep running this until he adjusts. Nope. There's Howard again. Interesting throw, but it's a first down once again. And there's Claypool. But naked. Let's go. I'm just going for the world's greatest game with OJ Howard. It's up for a touchdown with no time on this clock. Lock it.  I'm homeless. I'm homeless. OJ Howard underneath. They can't stop him. You just got to get the ball to the guy. Just give it to him in open space, and he just makes a play. I dare this man to try and stop OJ Howard. Got to jump it. Or I'm just going to go, I'm going to get you every time. He has six deceptions for 130 yards. Now he switched up his route. He's expecting that little out route. So we just set him on a wheel. It's just going to dust everyone. Do I believe that? Probably not. Did I get him? Yes.  It's kind of working. All right. Let's see if we can hit him again. He'll be able to jump it this time.  Wait, that got eight yards? I'm going to keep doing that, bro. That's elite. Is he trying to jump it early? No, but RB is wide open. Tyler Locking gets his first reception. Now I hit him with the out route because he hasn't seen it. He's been seeing the wheel. He's been seeing the wheel. And there's the out route. Let's go. Open space. OJ Howard. He's a beast.  It's like a wheel of mud stat line. Like we're trying to do a wheel of mud challenge right now. He doesn't. He doesn't see it. We got him. OJ Howard.  He's powering forward, but he's not in. All right. We're just going to give him a little what a curl work here. I don't think so. I'm throwing it. Oh my God. It worked. Dude, I can't believe that worked. Oh, he's so tired. He's out. We got to throw to someone else. We'll throw Keenan Allen. Who's going to sauce it up 16 to 13? Have you ever seen something like that?  Corner routes not open. Digs not open. Game. Game. I got to get a nasty pitch. Oh, he didn't let me pitch. I was going to throw the nastiest pitch. And Dalvin Cook on the draw.  Dalvin Cook's first touch. We're going OJ Howard on this wheeled out again. I feel like it might be a little too convoluted in there. Nope. Nope. It just works. It just works. Four to go from the three. We're running the fake. I don't even care. I don't care what he comes out in. Oh my God. He might be there. Shit. Darn it.  I went ahead of him on the three. Oh, running back is way open. Running back is really open. Loose. Okay. We're going to get there. Oh, darn it. I would have taken a fumble. He's out of bounds. Stops o'clock. What did he do last time he did this? He was running like slants or something. There's a few things open.  He might have given me too much time because it is OJ Howard's season. Oh my God. He leaves Keenan Allen open. That's only four seconds off the clock. He really thought about this defensive pick. Okay. Big catch. Seven seconds on the clock. Somehow caught that. I don't really know. We just got to get a little bit closer and then we take one shot. We get a little bit closer. Call our timeout. Then we got one shot to hit that end zone, baby. Or we just go clay pool right now. Get up there, buddy. What? He didn't even get a hand on it? Bro, he had a shot. Hopefully he comes out in the same coverage and I can do that again. OJ. OJ. Pitch it. Where's it going? Who's got that? Let's have 296 passing yards and two touchdowns. Look at this. Look at this freaking nature. 16 receptions, two 13 yards, two touchdowns for OJ Howard. 84 overall is OJ Howard. But I need to see this final play. They call this a 13 yard rush by Dalvin Cook. So I made the right throw. I guess an even better throw would have been clay pool because he's actually already in the end zone. But at this point, it was probably not possible to score a touchdown. I guess I could have tried truck through and then truck through another guy.  So we throw the greatest pitch of all time. All right, boys. I hope you enjoyed. If you got any other good draft ideas, let me know.  Either way, that was super fun. I had a great time. I love you, boys. I'll see you in the next video. Peace.


All right y'all today I want to talk about two different types of squats shallow squats and deep squats. What is better? Well, most people will say deep squats because deep squats mean you're cool and that you're really pushing yourself and that you're loading yourself and Oftentimes that is the case right that that demonstrates that you're really trying very hard, but also other times It's totally unnecessary So if you're not doing powerlifting where you need to squat to a certain amount of depth Or if you're not doing Olympic weightlifting where you need to catch something add a certain amount of depth Then that depth doesn't matter. I can still load the same pattern the same muscles the same force generating capacities by squatting a little bit shallower and Arguably it might actually take me a little bit further. Let's take a basketball player for example someone who's really tall someone who has really long legs They have a serious leverage disadvantage when they're squatting because of those legs. They're so long, right? So they're gonna have a lot of trouble squatting deep But do they have to When you jump how low do you go? I would say right about here, and then you just jump back up You don't jump down here, and then you don't squat down there and then jump all the way up, right? It's totally unnecessary so Way your decisions, right? You don't always have to squat deep sometimes shallow squats can get you what you want


Those of us who are romantics at heart often fantasized about that perfect if we were a movie love Even if you're not a romantic you might still want a special someone by your side to lean on laugh with cry to and Cuddled the heck out of at the end of a bad day Remember Jim and Pam from the office despite all their ups and downs. They still had a beautiful romance They trusted each other supported each other's dreams and were lovers and best friends at the same time Sickening, but like I want that too Sometimes real-life relationships aren't very Jim and Pam Sometimes they look more like a mild version of Ryan and Kelly a little dysfunctional and pretty toxic Toxic behaviors can creep in on your relationship whether you mean to or not What are some of those common behaviors that can kill a relationship? Keep watching to find out number one I'm sorry Sometimes partners can unintentionally hurt each other Maybe a joke goes too far or their cooking gets criticized a little bit too much When our partner is genuinely hurt this should be assigned to apologize Avoiding that apology or never giving one is one common behavior that can kill a relationship Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to say sorry On the outside it may seem we're too proud to apologize Beneath the surface we may feel afraid to admit we made a mistake It can be scary to feel like we're inadequate or guilty No matter how hard it may be to utter that small but meaningful Sorry, it can actually save your relationship in the long run A 2017 study published in Frontiers in Psychology Bound that if you offer a sincere apology the other person is much more likely to forgive you Another research study from 2014 showed that apologies reduce feelings of anger Basically a simple but sincere apology can help get rid of all of the negative tension between you two Do you sometimes feel awkward apologizing even though you would like to? Try writing it out. No not a text that says sorry Pour your heart out and apologize with a letter or small note on the fridge. We bet your partner will definitely appreciate it number two attached to you Ancient Greeks talked about the mysteries of love and gave it its own story According to their mythology humans were originally created with four arms four legs and a head with two faces But only one heart Zeus became afraid their powers would overcome his own so he split them into two separate parts Those parts then spent their lives in search of their other halves This piece of mythology explains why romance is sometimes described as two bodies one soul But is that really the case? Sometimes those in relationships can develop an unhealthy dependency on their partners when they become emotionally attached or lose their sense of identity outside of the relationship a 2018 study showed that emotional dependence in a relationship can be a sign of childhood trauma and preoccupied attachment If you have developed this unhealthy attachment, you might neglect all of your friends and only hang out with your partner You also might depend on your partner for emotional comfort instead of regulating emotions on your own Do you feel like you don't know who you are without your partner or like you depend on them? This could be another trait that's killing your relationship number three my crystal ball is broken Communication is the key to relationships. This may sound a bit cliche but numerous psychological studies over the years proved the importance of clear communication with your partner for example a 2021 study published in personality and social psychology bulletin showed that your relationship may flourish if you avoid negative communication patterns like making assumptions When you and your partner don't communicate your needs and wants with each other, you're forcing each other to read each other's minds You might assume what the other one is thinking or put incorrect labels on each other For example, your partner might feel tired from a 12-hour shift at work But you assume they're mad at you and uninterested in speaking to you You say things like what did I do to you now or and so you're just giving me the silent treatment Now you're angry for no reason and your partner may now be confused or may get angry back This whole situation escalated because communication didn't happen to avoid putting yourself in such situations Make sure to communicate your wants and needs clearly Maybe your partner tells you how exhausted they are when they get home Maybe you ask why they're being so quiet If you find yourself trying to assume your partner's wants and needs just stop and ask More times than not your assumption will not be completely true Number four micromanaging Okay, you found the love of your life as your relationship starts to progress You and your partner may start spending more time with one another Sleeping over at each other's places may happen so often to where you end up moving in together This can be when you start noticing little things about your partner that may just irk you For example, they might leave their clothes all over the floor instead of putting them in the hamper or putting your cereal in the wrong cupboard When that happens, how do you respond? One common response that can kill a relationship is micromanaging This is when you try to control every aspect of another person including their actions clinical psychologist Karen DeMau said on Medium That micromanagers often have extremely high standards So they struggle to trust their partners to do things as well as they do This type of controlling behavior can drive the other side crazy They might start feeling incompetent resentful or anxious wondering if they can ever do anything right if you're micromanaging your partner This could be a sign of other mental health diagnosis such as anxiety or potentially obsessive compulsive disorder If you feel like you're micromanaging reach out to a mental health professional to help stop this behavior That could be killing your relationship The list of toxic behaviors is kind of endless if you want to learn about five more relationship killing behaviors check out part one here Do you know any other common behaviors that can make relationships fizzle out?

I want you to tell me I'm terrible at this game No, no, you will you'll wreck you'll know this one You'll know this one knowing you and the kind of kind of cars you like to drive or used to like to drive Oh, just listen. We already start.  What does that take you back dude? Oh, it does take me back. It does doesn't it reminds me of people like skating Bro, this is it Roller skating. Oh That's right. You guys ever do that rolling. Oh, yeah, guys. Did you ever go to aloha? You got a roller rinks dude. That was we had one here No, what that looks like a dying thing now. First of all, I did go but second of all I just want you guys to envision. Hmm. Me on roller skates. I don't want to get a video. I don't want to just envision I want to have Taylor put that together.  Oh, he answers questions on roller skates We are we are going to get Taylor to do that because you know what? He was oh, this is so good. This is so good We just did the ice bath challenge might as well do the roller skates. Have you guys ever? Well, you know how to roll a skate really well He does I think he was on a roller.  How about this? How about this? I'll do it if we I answer questions, but Justin has to do analogies. Oh my god all day Got this like like water ramps. Yeah, it's a water. It's like ramping up Filling up a bucket of water I hope that episode what I want is to like put a post out and like just have like some weird image Yeah, and then you guys need to explain What I was talking exactly yeah, cuz I want to know you know It's crazy as we are sitting here with you so I get to see your hand gestures So you're actually building the story and analogy with your hands while you're talking and I still could So imagine the people listening I like yeah I started out with an idea and then the idea turned into nothing. I didn't make it it was just you were telling this analogy that that Not it wasn't like it was hard to understand or you're trying to I just didn't It didn't like it was literally it was literally like me saying like didn't work Yeah, it's like a me saying like well if you add five plus purple you It wasn't it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't Five plus I had just got I had just got done giving up I thought a pretty good analogy or pretty good example of what we're talking about and just like you know It reminds me of this analogy. No, no, I was like I was working on this and now It looks like this flesh it out Raindrops and ramps and then water. This is what happens. This is what happens when you deal with creativity created people It comes out.  He got really focused on what the compass should look like Consumed me. I was like trying to make it work and then I realized later. I was like, this isn't I'm losing the guys right now. It's like it makes so much sense, but I can't I can't put it on paper So frustrating, but we needed it. We needed it. It's all part of the process dude Yeah, what we do we have a compass in there So I had to get out all the spider with still part of it still part of it It was yeah, so you so you guys did that how you guys did the roller skating in the in the rings and stuff with the girls and Whatever a little bit.   You didn't do that No, I didn't roll you roller-bladed. I did did you really can I only did for hockey I did like in line hockey. I got a you gotta do roller blades then I gotta see that dude I mean if you roller skate I'll roller blade a hundred percent. Oh my god.  Oh my god I can't wait see My pups not big enough. We don't have insurance for us Well, so was that like a big thing when you guys were kids for like where you want to go that was like the spot Really yeah in Santa Cruz that is scott's valley. There was like a rink they turned into a library now But yeah, they used to be like the happiness spot dude Wasn't there a nightclub in Santa Cruz downtown, but it was for like 16 and up or something. Yeah Was it what was it called? I was on the boardwalk. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, what was that called? That's right We went there for like one of our proms when I was like a freshman. Yeah, I remember the name I remember that I remember going there and then there was a nightclub that was 18 and over In San Jose, I think was called the edge. Is that do you guys that ring a belt? Yeah, yeah, you know I came later, right? So I didn't come till I was 19 here. That sounded bad.  Yeah Yeah, house parties thing no we Roller skating. I mean rollerblading just came on the scene when I was a kid, right? So it was a cool thing to do like at that time, right? It was like that's how old we are by the way We're old enough now to like see something come into style and out of style. Oh, yeah, yeah No, it was a thing for a hot minute. I mean like nobody does it anymore.  So like yeah, he was like Olympic ice skater. So yeah fun, right? So he was like a badass. He was an Olympic skater. Yeah. Yeah, he I think he went to the Olympics And if he didn't go I know he was like he was like right there I heard an interview he did one time and they talked about that that his he's trained for the Olympics That's just sounds to me like and you would never that's no there's no crossover because like ice skating is More graceful and like you don't necessarily develop massive muscles or was he like a speed skater? Yeah He was a speed. Oh, yeah, those guys are fast muscle. Have you seen those guys's legs? Yeah, some of the most impressive some of the most muscular legs I've ever seen in my life were not on bodybuilders They were on some of these speed skaters and speed cyclists. Yeah, that do those racing or on the track Their legs get massive massive legs. Yeah those short bursts like that. Yeah, he's he's got and he's got pretty good sized legs I mean, obviously he's not doing that anymore, but yeah, I saw posted him rollerblading it reminded me Like, you know, I would probably try to remember how old I was I it was before high school Maybe like right to high school is probably when I stopped so like all through like fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth grade That was like when it was, you know, rollerblading came in snowboarding then wakeboarding like I was I did all that So and that like when it was a new sport a new extreme type of sport came out You know, my buddies and I always tried it. I wrote a scooter No, no, no, no like a kick scooter like a kick this before razor the training room before razors were invented These were scooters with tires. Wow. That's a that was a really funny thing that I and it's still kind of popular Are those little scooters because I feel like there's less that less. Yeah, they're easy.  Yeah, the razor. That's kind of cheating, isn't it? And it just like hits you in the ankle really hard. Have you seen those videos like people make where there's when it hits I'm in the ankle. They're like Yeah, oh, so funny.  Oh, it's like yeah, yeah, yeah, they're they're all over those skate parks and like yeah, it's skateboard It's a major thing.  Well, they're smooth if you ride them you can cruise forever on them They're Yeah, I love them dude I'll take my kids and I'll go down like a hill or something just see I'm too tall for them So I have to hunt I break them.  That's awesome. I have one. I can go pretty fast Oh, that's funny because I've been really wanting to buy BMX like old school like you know the ones you can do like jumps and stuff like the freestyle ones Yeah, like I really like for Christmas like that's what I want because yeah because they have all these like cool little like Parks for kids to go on you're too big. Well, you know, but they have like like adult like small ones So so we tricked so my buddy Justin and I like when we lived together He had one The end that he tricked all out like we dumped like another grand into this thing to make it custom for a big body So you can ride these fifties and it used to we used to fart around that thing That was a blast. So you we had to use the change the suspension out yet To do some different work on the handlebar so your knees can go up right, but we used to ride 50s that we used to soup up and we used to mash around and that was a cool thing for a while there to be like oversized and Using the fifties all jacked up and stuff.  Oh, I endowed so hard so hard my whole face like like scraped on on this like asphalt How old were you? I was like Probably 10 or 11. So yeah, yeah, just destroyed my face to two ER trips and knocked out and extreme sport stuff So I've been knocked out from wakeboarding. I've been wait wait wait from wakeboarding.   I have a life jacket on so it was totally fine But I completely went black and I all I remember was like the guys trying to fish me out of the water and you know I was like, oh came to so that was but I mean it hurt a little but not that bad It was more being knocked out and my bell rung.  I crashed I hit a half pipe one time on the snowboard And I bom I was like one of those ones where I was like I'm doing this all out And like if you've ever done like tabletops half pipes One of the things you don't want to do when you do big tricks like that is to half-ass them because they're designed Designed to get over them. Yeah, exactly. They're designed to bomb them Like you can't hit a tabletop and not hit a table all the way Oh, you land on the hard part of it You need to hit it hard so you clear it all the way same thing for like a half pipe You got to get all the way up the half pipe. You got to have some speed So I'm like ball so all I hit this half pipe That's I don't know a good probably 12 15 feet high so taller than the ceiling, right? And it shoots me up another 10 feet in the air same thing there I get parallel and then I come down right on the edge of the top of the of the half pipe right on my tailbone So that's the one you said where your leg went numb.  Oh, that was that right on a quad Jesus hit that and that they started a barrel It's inevitable with these extreme sports. Yeah, if you're really into this stuff, that's just I just know you're gonna Well, it makes me one of my worst ones. I got tons of crashes. Those are just the bad ones Yeah, I'm actually with the hospital. I broke my right arm twice the same year really. Yeah, you know, I've never broken a bone I've just looked at my knee While my bike I was riding down a hill going too fast and ended up just riding down the frickin middle bar the whole Way down smashed up my nuts a little bit, but nothing like your guys's story probably because I wasn't doing crazy shit Yeah, I mean, but it makes me wonder like because you there's definitely some character building that goes through that process Absolutely the fear Then they're getting the courage back and the re you know, strengthening yourself kids don't go out as much nowadays I wonder how much of a role that plays in this is why I was so connected to the book rise of Superman because in Rise of Superman they talk a lot about extreme sports and models and I connected so much to that and Understanding that flow state and understand what that's like to get into that when you're feeling a rhythm To where almost everything slows down for you like I could totally because like when we were kids They actually sold or you made them yourself ramps You would put in the street and and you're eight nine years old You guys would go do I jump the ramp and that's what you did. I'd never see that anymore. I have I have I'll bring these in don't let me figure. I still have this I have photos of me doing that when I'm in fourth grade and Jump and might what we would lay my and this back will remember the cameras We had to put the cameras in they they get 12 exposures or whatever that and then you 12 flashes Yeah, 12 flashes So we would lay under the ramp and the other guy would jump over the top of it. Yeah pictures So I got all these pictures of like the bottom of a tire and like thrasher And I'm like literally rocking MC. I have MC hammer pants. All right, so I have the Velcro Yeah, dude, I have If you remind me when I'm I had some fishbone ones.     So I give myself bangs, dude I did I spiked you with a little bit of party.  I had this part that was like severe It was like very I remember I remember there even became a time when like the when that became popular And then like all these companies and brands started coming out with all these different types of gels And then it became like who had the hardest yeah gel like Like market the shit out of that to us like in between cartoons Looks I remember all my cousins all everyone was like comparing each other's you know gels that they had all this one Right here is legit. If I'm gonna style like this gel That's true. I have actually got my hands on I don't remember what it was called But it was like the consistency of glue like it was like that.  Oh, you haven't worked out a while. That's been normal today It's not two weeks for me.  I'm just like, you know I have to keep saying it's not a metaphor because it sounds like a metaphor Back on that ladder boy. Yeah, just gotta get back up on that ladder son. Literally fell on the top of a ladder On his back.   They're sitting right there I'm with you dude.  How many though? How many people how many people do you think stage those things though? I feel like so all of them. I feel like it's gone. That's what sucks about maybe we should do that No, it's all of them. We'll never do that. You don't want no way stage a fall. Never. Okay Well, we did know we did on the one and the for the commercial right when we Justin, yeah, well, we kind of did we kind of didn't you know say we can't walk down that was kind of improv a little bit Yeah, so that wasn't like really planned, but I think that I don't think we'll ever have a message or a youtuber show that's like Yeah, it's hard to like yeah, it's hard to fall like without like, you know hard to like act it Yeah, like yeah has to be real.  Yeah, you don't have a middle.  I am the biggest baby.  I do. In fact, you're so irritable, but you're also a self-aware person There's warning behind the storm. Yeah, you'll be like storm is coming.  I'll be like listen, honey.  It may not get you out completely But it's like at one point she'll go. Well, you got to respect him for telling me He is aware of it What about you has you had did you work out today? No, I haven't worked out today at all No, I'm planning on it. Yeah. What are you doing right now with your training? Are you still doing that? So I'm mainly just focusing on the unilateral still. Yeah. Yeah, so I've I've I just really have liked it And like and so I'm gonna be pushing it a little bit too long like sticking with unilateral training But I think it's about time where I should kind of go back to barbell training I wonder if you could ever this would be interesting like let's say you could squat You know, let's say your max is 300 pounds. I wonder if you could ever get to the point where you could do half of that with one leg I mean, I'd be very difficult because so much balance is you know, I'm saying. Oh, absolutely. You think so? Oh, absolutely. Who is yeah, I mean thinking about that I could dumbbell I used to get up to dumbbell presses almost as much as what I could max bench with really Yeah, I'm trying to think if it's Mike Boyle. He's talking about like that was like a point against the fact that he Doesn't have people like back load their squats, but he would have people like load Like three four hundred pound like Bulgarian like split squat So it's like he's like it's not it's not that we're like taking load away from you know Like trying to increase our strength. It's it's just you know, he's not doing it like particularly like three barbell Maybe the problem is more in the sense that we're so not used to training unilaterally that there's a big learning curve The balance and that's why you're like, oh, I'm losing performance and it's because not necessarily because you're The it's it's inferior but more so because we just got to get past the point where you could get your balance Yeah, and do it all right. It makes a lot of sense. I think I think from a mechanical point There's so many benefits. You just when you start doing unilateral work It's so hard to cheat and exercise where I feel like There it's really not only is it really easy to cheat a barbell exercise It's really hard sometimes to tell when that when you're off a little bit where I feel like the it's so obvious You can easily overpower and compensate, you know inside, right?  Yeah, so some some coaches build their whole program and system around it But yeah, but yeah, it's not popular some Well, it's like anything else right with like we talk about on the show is like some people attach themselves completely to it And then they're they're like in the camp of everything should be unilateral And then there's people who just like just totally neglected completely, right? So I think there's I think there's something to be said about Intermittently utilize what we say that we've been saying on the show forever The importance of intermittently putting it in there But maybe actually even structuring it to where you phase if we're looking for someone for total overall just health Well-being strong before all overall like they're just you're just want to be a better human body There's definitely for sure I think some value to running that for a couple months and then coming out of it See here's a problem with this kind of stuff is that and I know what it is because I fall for a little bit myself But definitely when I was younger I would fall for it in the sense that When I knew like objectively logically like okay It would be smart if I were to train like this for a little while like work on mobility or work on whatever The thing that held me back was the fear of losing gains or the fear that okay I know I should back off on my deadlift for a little while and focus on this movement But then I'm gonna lose strength on my max deadlift which May be true in the short term. This is something that took me a long time to learn Yeah, you may lose some gains because you go from all heavy barbell stuff to now budget and lateral stuff But when you go back to that barbell stuff or in the longer, you know term scheme of things you build more muscle You know better off I mean I felt like that was a lot of what I tried to share over the last year on my Instagram and talking about that on this show was That you watched me do this like I stopped Really heavy lifting and I put so much energy and focus on mobility and I did I took a step back I mean I wasn't still squatting four hundred seven pounds But I'm right back there again, and it's I feel a million times better like all the issues that I was Oh wait, and I mean my my squat depth and mechanics right now are way better It's so funny like these the old-time strongman and bodybuilders even up until like Schwarzenegger era they would do Compared to bodybuilders now way more cross training like Arnold and Franco both Would incorporate cycles and phases of powerlifting like a straight-up like a powerlifter they would incorporate phases of body weight movement ballet to help them with their posing Jogging they would do phases of jogging to build those kind of they're very progressive In I think and of course modern bodybuilders. I think can't do that because now they're just so massive and Dysfunctional that it's just you can't do anything else right glorify the dysfunction But the average person building muscle and stuff You're you're you're gonna build muscle better if you do this kind of stuff you take a break and say because I would even You know along those lines of the unilateral You know phase I've been talking about this with you Justin for a while now is a whole phase on body weight Yeah, I do nothing but closed-chain totally, you know body weight type movements get some rings and some No Damn, dude Just as a separate face which by the way by the way I learned something the other day that made me feel extremely Weak sauce. Do you know my girlfriend used to be able to do one-armed pull-ups? Oh really? Like a legit one-armed pull-up. That's impressive.  That's what she said But I mean she doesn't lie so So along those lines, but I think having Like phases like this where you kind of go drastically in a different direction I mean we phase our workouts anyway, you know, that's how we design our programs But unilateral body weight training I think doing a whole two weeks like that then going back to routine You'll probably see well It's I mean we always talked about this too when we created the programs about building mods And that's why we have mods on some of them is to you know There's ways if you have a program that you appeal to more whether be green black red whatever white and then you go Okay, well, I like that about it But then I would like to add this to sort of home base right and you go venture off Yeah, so I think I think building a really a really sick mod What do you go to exercise for each body part for the like the unilateral stuff, you know So shoulder press stuff. I like to use a kettle single single arm. So one arm Flipped up. Yeah, right. So that that's for my my shoulders for sure. I'm doing that I love a single leg deadlift for hamstring glute and then I love a Bulgarian split squat from my legs those Do you do anything for like chest or back? You know when I do chest, I'll do like I'll mess around alternate Yeah, with alternating dumbbell presses and I'll do some some work like that I'll do this. I'll even incorporate even like I was doing that with rose the other day, too But the big ones are the ones that just name that I probably used the most. Yeah, I do very similar I mean, it's yeah, you want to stick with sort of the basics the Bulgarian squats and you know overhead press like with with single Kettlebell, but yeah, I'll also do I do a lot of carries And I do a lot of overhead carries and you know stuff like that where I'm doing suitcase carries And just you know sort of solidifying my stability as I'm walking with it like a former walk But yeah, I'd yeah, I do do some like bench pressing like with with one I haven't done that in a really long time But I did a few sets like that where I'd just take a dumbbell and I would I would lay in a bench and just Do one arm at a time now Did you have one in each hand or was it just one just one so I'm really that's a core squeezing the shit out Yeah, my core and obliques and everything is to keep me on the bench. It's pretty tough Yeah, I like Another thing that I've done I do this in my regular workout is I'll take dumbbells and rather than bringing them both down at the Same time and both both at the same time up I'll come one down at a time and hold them the other one up in the top position or reverse Bring them both down and keep one always in that bottom position. Do you do that? That's that's typically what I meant when I said alternate done. Oh, that's how I do it. So I For me I see the biggest carryover But I guess for me if I will chest is not a major focus for me So I'd probably play play around with that more if that was the Bulgarian messing with the Bulgarian and the single leg Deadlift those to me. Yeah, and I also do like step-ups, too That's where I get a lot of like I need to do more transverse plane And you know these planes a little bit harder to get you know rotation and you know in the mix of my training So yeah, I'll do some stuff like that where I'm rotating and then I'm stepping up But yeah more like step-ups that are you know one leg focus.  This was me when I first started there was a major discrepancy between the two for me Well, it was the difference of this like when I did I can't remember which side it was right now But when I did let's say my right side, I could easily rep out 10 reps and felt easy control Went right into the mechanics balance everything there when I went to the right side like I was off balance I was struggling to stabilize. I could feel like I wasn't even all my muscles weren't firing equally on that side Eight I was struggling So there was a major difference on the two when I first started that's actually why I love the bogey because it caught I'm up really quick. I just made sure to always start with the weaker I was just gonna ask you hit that number with the weak side Yeah, and then I kept strengthening, you know as far as that was my indicator on when I was ready to Press up on weight. It's like, okay. I could get that many reps comfortably on that side now We can move up and I just kept moving up that way I moved up really quick every week that I revisited the Bulgarian squat I was increasing the weight significantly and feeling good about it wasn't feeling like I was pushing it really Yeah, I think the strength is there. It's just a matter of like, you know getting everything organized and firing, you know Correctly because it's like, you know, it's a different type of a skill, you know I don't think people realize or quite appreciate even Even us sometimes we forget. I know we do because I forget all the time Just how much Strength is a skill. Like it's a I mean Think about this, you know, you could barbell squat 300 pounds, but you can't one-legged squat 150 It's not because you don't have the strength. You obviously do have the strength, right? Yeah It's because you don't have the skill. It's there. Yeah, you just haven't established the skill of it yet You haven't taught your body these mechanics. No and what and when you start to learn that skill Once you kind of get the the idea of the skill and your body moves well, then you can really stress The muscle, which is why initially you get such crazy strength gains because It's you're just getting better and better unlocking it You're unlocking it and getting better and better and better and then you and then do you guys see the translation? When you go back to your oh, totally Yeah, like, you know sitting, you know at the bottom of your squat and like feeling super supported And like I could get up like I could sit there for a long time and I don't feel any like Twinges or aches or you know, it's like sometimes it takes a little while to warm up to you know heavier load And I feel like after doing Bulgarian squats, it's like boom. I'm like everything is just oiled and efficient so Because I know a lot of people listening right now are thinking themselves like Well, I do the the you know bilateral stuff and then I always throw in some unilateral stuff at the end So what's the difference? What's the difference that sure? I do Bulgarian squats, you know at the end of my workouts Why do I need to do all my workouts or the whole workout? Unilateral like what's the difference between the two and is there a difference? Well, I think it's just a matter of the what emphasis you're putting there, right? Like if you're Training strength and you and you've put a whole workout in and then you go over and then you work on something like that Uh You're not going to get you're not going to get as much of the strength benefits in that movement as you would if it Was a primary focus, right? So, you know, it's not to say that that's wrong or you can't do that That's a hundred percent a you're just not going to make it the primary focus You're not going to get the most out of it Yeah Or as quick as you could and I and I think that if you're if you're moving to a new adaptation like that And you already know that you're going to get good bang for your buck because it is new Why not really get the most out of it and it's all about adaptation specificity It's it's very specific to the stimulus and It's this is why we phase our workouts and we don't have all you know You know, we if you do three workouts a week instead of doing phase one workout monday phase two workout wednesday phase We have you do phase one for three weeks phase two for three weeks. This is one of those reasons is that Uh, the way your body adapts is very very specific Right and like you were saying like if you do if you do all your workouts for the next couple weeks You don't want competing signals. Yeah Well, it goes back to what you said, you know, even strength is a skill It's a skill and if I'm trying to treat it as a skill Then I want to make it a focus and I want to now I don't want to do it for so long To where my body does get so used to it that it's not seeing the same results But you got to get get it somewhat comfortable and used to doing it for a while if you're going to see the maximum results from it So now here's the other thing to consider too We're talking about from a functional strength and then, you know, of course that translates into more muscle Um, you know, uh, you know way or whatever But body builders have used unilateral movements for a very long time, but for very different reasons Like they don't give a shit about You know, how much weight they're moving necessarily or function But they'll do unilateral movements because of the feel Because they can sit there and isolate and squeeze and feel, you know, the muscle they want to develop specific areas of their body And there's definitely some, uh They're definitely some merit there because I know when I'm doing like a especially if it's a single joint movement Like a one-legged leg extension or a curl or a side lateral or whatever When I'm doing that one side that one body part, um, and I'm taking out the other one for a correctional standpoint It's awesome. But also for just isolating and squeezing and feeling something Uh, it's great. Oh when you talk about sculpting the body in in my opinion Like it's a must that there's unilateral work in there because you are there's so many little tiny muscles that you're trying to develop That this is where this becomes different and unique, right when other people are Talking about just and I know we've cracked on bodybuilding and how bodybuilders train a lot But there is a lot of merit to some of the things that they do to sculpt the body Where I think nobody is connected to their muscles as bodybuilders, right? I think that where where it's it gets mixed up is that, you know, the the kid or the girl who's just getting started In the in the gym, you know, they they they don't want to be wasting their time doing some Bent over single arm angled cable, you know reverse fly to target their left rear delt You know and not incorporate their traps or their rhomboids And so they're in this really fixed isolated position because they need more rear delts Because that person is is going to get way more bang for their buck working on the core lifts that we talk about But if you're somebody who's advanced you've been lifting for a long time and you're into the sculpting the body There's a lot a lot of huge benefits to doing a lot of single arm isolated type movements And I tell you what being somebody who? Trained and and competed at the professional level for men's physique and that look I have a very different look right now my physique than I did then it's uh I I don't look the same way because I don't lift the same way I do way more than just a big gross motor movements I barely ever do any of the auxiliary type touch touching exercises where I was heavily that way And it's in the the look I describe it as Bodybuilders that like train that way have this kind of bubbly Like look like all every muscle every little muscle has a lot of You know shape to it because they've targeted every tiny little muscle where if you do a lot of the big compound lifts You look dense and hard, but then you don't look as Bubbly all the way around because you're not a lot of times the big muscles are taking over the big Motor movements like they should and the tiny little isolators and stabilizing muscles are not getting a lot of extra work you know what else this is good for is When you're trying to get someone to recruit a muscle or to feel a muscle In another maybe compound movement.
