As always, it is a pleasure being with you each and every Thursday. Very good morning to you. My name is Ram Maguko. It is the 16th of September 2021. Thank you so much for keeping it power talk. Thank you for keeping it Y254. And as I have said, this is power talk coming to you each and every Thursday. And today we have a lot in store for you in our conversation today. Remember we are coming to you live from the broadcasting house in Nairobi. We are also live now website at www.kebc.co.ke 4 slash Y254. And so they also engage with us on our social media platforms that I shall highlight in a bit. But today I'm joined by interesting guests. Today we want to talk about depression in men. Now on this show we always talk about so many things. We always talk about things that change, motivate, inspire, inform. And you know want to make us better people. Today we want to understand this perspective of depression. They say that men according to statistics are the most depressed as compared to women. Why so? What can we do to reduce the number of depression among the men? Have you had, have you thought, have you had or have you been thought that men are not supposed to cry? Is that true? Do you support that? What about women? What role do women play in ensuring that they reduce the rate of depression among the men? Is it that it is the women who increase depression among the men? Well today let's talk about depression among the men from the perspective of the men. Remember it's all about man talk today again. I'm joined to my extreme right by none other than Meshia Koteano. He is the CEO of Awek Youth Initiative. Meshia, hope you are well. I'm good. Let's have a show. And the next to me, you've seen him around, you've seen him everywhere.

Let's talk. Men. Aha, niazana na nani. We like to go first, but before we continue. I know there is something interesting in this video. You want to talk about it? There is something you've carried. Do you want to keep it for later or now? No, actually right now before I say anything. Mezhak has come with the rose in studio. A very interesting red rose. Why are you carrying a rose? I actually want to dedicate it to somebody on air. I celebrated my birthday two days ago. Happy birthday. Thank you. But there is this amazing human being that has always been supportive in my journey. She is called Naomi Clay. Naomi Clay. Yes, and today I just want to tell you that I love you so much. Oh yeah. Watch out. To me, ma liza depression. Apana. What is your camera? Oh, come with me. You don't have a camera. Who is Naomi? Naomi Clay. Who is she to you? She is actually my fiancé. Oh, she is your fiancé. Ah, she is my fiancé. But we are almost headed there. We are almost headed there. We are almost headed there. We are almost headed there. We are almost headed there. Yes, but because... These are things that men don't do online. Yes. Because they are depressed. So I want to do this. Speak to her. Thank you so much for your support through all the years. And I really love you, Naomi Clay. And today I want to dedicate this love to you for your support and for your continued support. Love you. Wow, wow. This is the real man. Yes. This is the real man. This is the real man. No, no.  Before they die, we were there with them. So, while I say ma, nipe mawa nigali nikohai. Yeah. Nanona. My brother mepeana mawa akiwa nigali uhai. Wow. Ya peleka kwa kaburi. Ya peleka kwa kaburi. Ya peleka kwa kaburi. Ya. Not sooner. I don't think it's Naomi. Naomi. Nneza pata nambayake. Eh, utapata? Takia twu. Ya takia twa. I don't think it's Naomi. Ya takia twa. Ya takia twa. I don't know今日は. So I can bless our one pair. One pair. Oh no, man. Yes. Tizia opana. Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-ya. And this is why I love power tug. Because here, we express ourselves. Yes. As is. Apu akuna stress mob, mawa bapi ini. So, whenever you are engaged with us, express yourself from wherever you're watching us from. Yes. Man tu mpa notéré, kia kwenkhu mekutumi kandini was that he did say he's internally stressed even though he's down for everything things he does, said his people. Sihat gani w fifteen kusak na kubighi. When it comes to this perspective of depression, there is this belief or this conception that men ought not to be expressive. You see there in Meshakas ameaza. Ameaza ame, ame declare la, publik. And there's some people who say that a man should not be that expressive. Unafu kwe held back, utulie, be quiet. Don't speak when you have something concrete to say. Don't show any emotion. Do you believe in that? No, I don't believe in that. Ya, wana itwa wana umefiche. Kwakizungu wana itwa hidden man. Wana umefeku ahulem tu mwanyan ameaza akiongami fukastu. Wana umefile tu me umwana mwanyi zi mungu tulipewa dominion. Ok, angali apo genesis inasama go and rule, go and multiply. Wakwa ame ya manamuke? Wana ame ya manamume, go and multiply. So manamume ni mutu ambe ya mejibanga. Manamume ni mutu ambe yufaiku feature. Nama manamume wile tu me umwana mungu, iso wituza tzeme wile my brother mefanya, this is the right thing to do. Because wana juwani huyo tu naumi peke aki. Atam tu mungi na kama ame kwa kikufi ni amachu ya satano. Then atajiwa hi imechorwa, territory imechorwa. So kitumzuri just be open. Kama ukona wawili se mahaya, nikona naumi na jen. Una juw, the reason wana nasimanga, men are depressed is because they are quiet. How ungei? Wana ume tu naungianga. Nivile tu naungianga chinia maha jen. Koni nambas zi mungi zekaivi. Wana ume na kudu depressed sana kulika tawa naake. Nawa naake duwa naungianga sana kulika tawa naume. Wana ume yenda kwenya watu wana choma nyama kwa klapa. Upatiwa naume wa kiyongiwa. Men tu duwa, I think wana alifanya hi risach ya alikosa. Because maybe alifanya risach kwa salun. Do men talk between men and women? Who are the ones wana ungei sana wana zareli stress? Well I think when it comes to talking for me, it's more about personality. Right? Talking out your heart, talking out what you feel. But also there is something around men. The fact that they feel like they are strong and that attaches them not to express themselves. And that is the basis of depression. Men believe they are muscular and or you should not be expressing your feelings. And that is the wrong way to go for everybody. I actually believe that when you are able to talk you are able to release whatever you have from inside to outside. And this is one of the things from that wana ume wa fani by the way. Just talk. Uke na kwa ba basically they are probably talking to friends but not the right people. So are you having that conversation with the right person? Are you talking to the right person? Are you approaching the right person in these talks? So it is not a weak attribute at the wana ume wa fani. Or is it soil to be weak? To express yourself, to tell a lady I love you and all that or even to express heartbreak. At the wana ume wa fani, you need someone to talk to.  Man up is over exaggerated. I think man up comes when you need to take on responsibilities. And in fact you should also take responsibility of expressing yourself. That is how we should be looking at man up in that context. So Kamuneika inside and you believe that is being strong. Actually I think that is the weakest point ever for me. If you are quiet. And you are never talking out to emotions.  I am a very expressive guy. You think that is very expressive. I think that is very expressive. We are going to start the interview later. We are going to start the interview. I think my wife is on TV. Yes on her national TV. I don't know if she get it but I know. I say to her that we have to cut these roots. I must do it bigger. na moku alumikia. Uni nuku player na the odds? Of course. Ui, waku naku na mehambe hizi player. I was playing away. Kwa na chazezin ou mehote nihide? Did you just say you unimena hote ni player. No, mojaku jaze me hizi player, ahto waze se me hizi player. I'm not a player.  You are not even lying to God.  Why do you believe all men are players? They are players because this is to me umbo evo. Wakati umbo li umbo awa. Aka mpa Adam. Aka mambe nao. Hawa ni waku. Ati Hawa? Go Hawa ni waku. I think we were confused. We were confused at the Tukianda. So kama uta chukwe yo na wei nue antenna useme Hawa. Siu Hawa. Wote ni awa. Aama wacha re na kiswaili useme ni if. Biko su kisama ni awa, then you will be confused. Then you will go for everyone. So mua na umbe ote. Baya na taza mazaia, sebe siu. Ya ya siu. Hawa siu wakia. Munga ni wakia. Munga li sema awa ni waku. So that is not us. So I think munga na faku to Saidiya. And due to GSE Hawa. Hawa ni iwa. So many factors lead to depression. Munga na zafikirai depression ni. It starts from kitu kama. Kuna is simple term stress. Yes, stress. Kitu napati awa no me tu stress. Kukua na wanawake wengi. Is it? Ya. Kukua na wanawake wengi. There is this particular individual who has several wives. Another individual has several girlfriends. Not wives. Another individual has a wife and other concubines. Mungine akona mi pangwa kandoli. The wife doesn't know. So it is a mixture. Different people. And some youths come as is. Wengi akona wanawake wame jaya. All over. Uya na kupigia na sama na takapesia manikua. Mungi na na kupigia na sama na takapesia salun. Mungi na na kupigia na takapesia mutoto. Is that a factor? I think yes. It is a factor. The factor is not having many women. The factor in it is what the women are demanding. Monawana umuwa siya. Mutu wakwe stick to one. But because you can't limit people. If they feel they need to have many, they need to have many. But the problem here in Aruniba kwa monawume, why are you sufficient enough?  Or you can only accommodate one? So if you consider your factor, then you are able to make an informed decision as to whether na takwa na moja ama wengi? Onakumka stories. There is this guy who went to all the way to Loret. A kapigia msiya na wengi na shoka. You know his story. He was in stress. He was in depression. Bona twa, so owa no moja wengi yama wengi msiya. Kamas iwewe na wengi. Yama kama siwewe... Just cancel everyone. You stick to one. Na wengi moja kikupeta stress. Una moja uncafra mgingi na. I think that is not. Iyo ikwa stress. It was love. What do you mean? Yes, it was love because if I can not have you, na akuna muwa takuhaw. Because na ikama stress, wende uwe mutu na una kata maramoja, one tum paka kufika biza. That is, okay, piya sita sama ni laugh because if you laugh someone, you cannot do that. So it's, iku apu katikati. Ma penzi me changa nika, naku changa nikiwa. Because I think, it's a mekumfano. Mewu na pendakitu flanyan, then upatia mutu anachkua icho kitu. It's either utasema, it's either ni kwenahi kitu amani skwenayo. So unona kuna kitu, na iyo kitu na kujangatu in seconds. So kama ukukaribu na mutu. Lakin ni wina shindwa li travel kutoka na irobi. Na irobi na ama thika. E luka thika? Thika. From thika mpa ka eldoret. That is, a lot of hours, I think angipua me fikiri amesema wacha ni rude. E wacha ni rude. Kama ni ivo meyamuwen, then wacha ni rude. Most li pay zi witu, na fanyika jyobetroyo, itnav. I think that is the word. You feel ome invest sana in somebody. And then, you obetrade. Na jywa, there are some people who say that they want to be on kia visura kichapua. But he kuchapua, he ni shoka. Namateso. You know what I'm saying. It's actually somebody trying to speak by action. Right? Though they are just negative action.  Like I felt betrayal, these and these. And it comes back to the conversation we are having initially about men talking. So in our generation, especially generation zi, to mechagwaku on kia visu actions. And that is why I want to say all these stories are so many. E na ni imtu wali wali wali wakua hostel, external li wali wapi. Because they don't talk. Ni depression? Ni depression. They get a lot from inside. And then by nature, you burst out. And the only way they can express you who burst out, ni through. Chapa umtu shoka. Yeah, it's true. Mchungaji. Oone zambia mi uitu ma nyanakwa tsaiizi. Kama ni kukuna dhim. Kukuna angabi. Ay. Because apu na stresiko. Iu ni mambo. Iu ni mambo. Atu fai kuotu na ungelele iu. Kama, even the Bible says. The Bible? The Bible says. If that... I don't know kama ntakumu kwa the exact verse in the book. But the Bible says that if you're not ready, then usicho chei yu ma pensi. If you're not ready, don't start then iu. Iku ki ni nikiya love. But if you're ready, start. Don't start up love before it's time. Yes, before it's time. Yes, ni songo Solomon. Yes, it's there. Songo Solomon. Nimbosa Solomon. Nambosa Solomon. Nambosa Solomon. Songo Solomoni ma nyanatu ampi iwo. He had 700. So in short, we have 700 and we write those. We had 700. But I think 300 concubines. Yes, at kwa iyo, he was now talking out of experience. No pata? Yes. Yo, yo. Yes. In short, anakwambia. All these things for eku have 700 wives na nili. It was vanity. In other words, kama ntakiku stres tulia tu. When the time is right, go for it.  But when is the right time, then? That is the conversation that we need to have. I don't have the pleasure. Awezi ka kwa kukingoja the right time, honestly. When is the right time? My friend, the right time, you know it. You are not working.  U na kulatya kula yama maya. Mama ya kwa na kufuli ango. You are not ready. At all. You are not ready. You are working. Uko na kapitu. Uko kwa ko. Then, uko samu ya ready, karibuna ready. Una za jili piyata. Una za jili piyata. But I know people. Onafanyu zubitu zote. And they don't have, like, girlfriends. Now, how I marry wana mama zitu. Now, mimi niko 35 years. Na badu niko kwa nyumba yama mayangu. Na baba yangu. Na fanya nini. Na nita kaa apu forever. Yama na ukureni. Atakiku kua ready. Akun na nini yaku kuskuma ukukua baba yaku. Una fanya naka. See only, na badu, auto stress, depression. Because when you want to get married, una naftams chana. Lakin na the same time, you feel like I don't think it's your money. Badu niko kwa mama yangu. Badu nali piwa rent. Badu nini nili shwa. Sezika jirulia mangu. Uta kua ready sangap. Tuta potea wana ume. Pakaskuile tuajibata wene. So conversation ni gani. Do we learn how to be ready? No. No. I think conversation ni has a way to pierce as gina wana tuangusha. Una laumu azazi. E mi na laumu azazi. Because akuna wili mtu wana zakuwa badu waka 30. So inafakufuze kwenyumba? Asi akufuze. Kitambo. Kitambo. Ile wakatu weitu. Wakatu wakina hawa. Uko? 3rd floor. 2nd floor. Uko 2nd floor. So wakatu weitu, from mutua 3rd floor, wakatu weitu lukuna fika maali mama nanzaku kufuze. Akufuze na latitopa nanzaku kufuze. Tinda ronzaro. Tinda ronzaro. Tinda ronzaro. Ati my son. My son. Una onadi. Una onadi. Una fikiria mimi zahizi. Emutu ambi akili ya kwa. Una fikiria. Ukiyanda na irobi, utavite kijana mukanya na anakufuze. Because anona, babayakia aku. Babayakia aku 56. Mama ndiu uyo. Watutu weini ndiya badu na skuma. Wei badu kutuwa pume nga jia. Na wako 3rd floor. Mama nanzaku imba. So kuna wili wana nga kungeleshua. Lakini was especially sorry when you are a lady. Of course. Sanasan na waka wana uwanawa ke. This is one factor. So societal pressure. Enye na fanya wana umwa wana kuna depression. Because you want to meet some expectation and badu hujiya. Which you can't. Weizi. It's very hard. Tell us what you think about this conversation. We're talking about men and depression. And it's all about understanding why are men depressed and what can we do about it to reduce the rate of depression. At the hashtag it's part of the show on Twitter at Ram Maguko and at Y2Four channel. You drop in your comments as you continue with this conversation we shall sample them up a bit later on. Aya. The loss of a loved one. Lost. It could be through either way. Heartbreak or death or any other way. The loss of a loved one. People understand loss in different ways. For some men when they experience loss they close up. One agifungia they don't talk. Others one end up in a club one drink one akunwa others get into drugs and alcohol and they drink themselves in it. They can sleep for days in the house. Manumena far handily agikit. The loss of a loved one. Chew to tonsera naniya paivi. Meshank. I think I have some life event which relates to that and actually the example is Naomi. So we separated two years ago with Naomi. Yes. The same Naomi. Yes. And that was a very that was a very big shift in my life by then. I was so much depressed actually depression for around four months and obviously I had a few people that were coming in terms of helping because I was able to speak by then on whatever was feeling and you know I mean the mistake obviously was from my side and so living with the understanding that you've lost the person that you love is key and admitting is very key. Right? Yeah. Then two years after I tried to move on but this is not happening because I'm still attached to this one person. And you are dated or you have been dating her for how long now? So before right now it's for around five to six months but now that is after now declaring that we are back again in this but even though we've been putting ourselves together after the breakup for the last one year right? So I would say one year six months. So you broke up two years ago? Yes. And after that breakup Yeah. you went through a series of events Yes. Very horrible life event for like four months close to almost six I would say. Six months? Yes. And so I stopped everything including our QT initiative by then because it was still like you know a rising child and I was at the key of making decision in the management. So you withdrew? Yes. So the board withdrew me from everything that I had to really sort my life fast. Na apu na watu wana poteza kazi pe Yes. Yes. And then now I'll come back but there it's very true because I just had an understanding board. Na jua. So all that happens and then I realize that you know I really can't move on without this person. So the fear is sometimes you don't want to get back to the express. So the solution is to talk about it? So the solution is to talk about it. For me that is how it has worked for me and that is the only experience that I have. How do you handle the loss in Mjungaji? Manome? Manaji? Villanasema it's true the solution kwe yongia like he says as he says manome think to na yongia maybe to the wrong person and the wrong place and the wrong timing. So I think because that research villay na na seme kana na kama wana ume wana wake wame kwa kwa depression kuliko wana ume lakini na wana ume wame kufa wengi sana na depression kuliko wana wake. So I think wana ii saluni na sa idea ladies So I don't know kwa wana ume na kinyozi? Wana ume atatukenda waka kinyozi we just talk about sex we talk about villay nili fanya nili kapata evo but we don't know kwa niya machoma by the way we talk kabisa don't know kwa niya wana ume tu naongi anga nivi lewe mu tu researcha rifanya tu saluni lakini what we talk about apokwa niya ma apokwa kinyozi haitu saidi na tu na talk tu ewe wana pandangara iningapi mi na pandangara inisaba ewe mi nisi itai lakini wana tu meonge lele apo wala fi naisha apo lakini wana wake zili mrize zina tu mi zaro atitaguziya ba nimi mi nimi metoka kwa nyumba bibi tu me letesha na ju lakini nisi takuja ni mu ambi ewe ewe ei manze nimi metoka kwa nyumba lakini atu yuko powa kwa wabu ya ni ni? akuna doa akuna corona na wana jua ikazi etunia entertainment ii na itajini ni so na e bibi kwa apu ame takapesa akuna so mi mi nitanyamaziya vili nanyamaziya ni kama uki pandambe uki pandamaindi unafuni kiasin diyo siku muoja itatoka wakati uvo itanyesha sumutana fua fanyu ni inisaba I think mi am not a professional in that amadaktari ama ni ni but I think we need to talk it out yes we need to talk it out because sa zigi na yuwa wife or yuwa spouse aneza kusaku elewa but kama uneza patam kusuri mwenya uneza eleza aneza na siyende kukua ni kapia wana jua sasi wana ume piya tu na kwa na mudo mo wana ume ni was kana wana ume na kwa ime kwa chumbi na kachumbari otega na dania kama uneza pata uneza pata ab good friend mwenya uneza wana ume wana waka wana sumanga a shoulder to lean on we need a shoulder to lean on kata wana ume uta ni anza kuni o kata aneza na yuwa na kwa mpe brus aneza kwa pesa pesa ni sabunia ro pesa wewe pesa ni muzuri nambawana nambawana umeza na kula fea of kwa aste na na kula fea but we need to call them in a meeting not even in a meeting I think sirikali na fea kuweka siri fea uinita kwa pa lafida warana we need to call these ladies kwa meeting na parlementi a polisi especializi le wana ume o na toha we need a conversation wana ume wana ume lakina uana ume I don't know who be reached as I think you spend money you don't have of kus you go to me umwa Hum?

Those hundreds of thousands of members talk to millions of people, their neighbours, people living in their communities, they know their communities, they talk to people in their workplace. They are in the best possible position to help decide our policies, to help choose our candidates, that is what we are about. So how are these rule changes actually going to empower new members, ordinary people, to decide Labour Party policy? Well, what we're going to do is we're going to transform the party so that the policies are decided with members' involvement in all sorts of different ways, digitally, online, but also because they'll elect delegates. We've got more delegates at today's conference than we've had from representing members than we've seen in decades, the biggest conference for ages. The conference will help to decide policy. It won't be decided by people advising the Prime Minister like it did in the Labour Party 20 years ago. There really is a difference now between Labour and other parties. That's because our hundreds of thousands of members want something very different from what they had in the past. So what were those wilderness years like when you were on the left and you weren't having your views heard by the leadership? Well, it was very frustrating. For me it seems like a missed opportunity. People have suffered bad policies for a long time and it was unnecessary if alternatives had had a voice to express them. We could have been in better shape than we are now. For someone like me who's not a Labour Party member but is maybe considering it, how would you sell it to me? What can I do as part of the Labour Party that I can't do outside of it? Well, I think you can make a difference.  You can be part of that. If you want to change things, you can do it. You can do it yourself. You don't have to rely on other people that you vote for, you can do it yourself. That's what new politics is about. Cool, thank you so much for joining us.


Hello, I am Dr. Murli Krishna, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. The main criteria to assess whether the candidate is suitable for minimal invasive cardiac surgery is the weight criteria. What we do is in pediatric children who are having septal defects, we take a cut-off weight criteria of around 8 kgs. Below 8 kgs, it will be quite difficult to do minimal invasive surgery because they will be having a more spectrum, more complex lesions. More than 8 kgs, and after that the weight is not a bar depending on what condition he is having. So in pediatric patients, 8 kgs is a criteria and of course all adolescents and adult patients who can be subjected to a surgical heart procedure can undergo minimal invasive route.


All right, baby. Here I come. Show me. Let's see your shirt now. You like your Dr. Seuss outfit? Mm-hmm. Hi, sweetheart. Do you like it? So cute. But it was, but you were doing it. It was rough.  I'm sorry. Y'all, it is 7.30. And I'm just not cooking dinner. Carol, I'm having a very late lunch. Um, I went to the gym today. Didn't even work out. I ended up having, like, an almost two-hour conversation with someone who works, excuse me, but he's in the bathtub. An almost two-hour conversation with someone who works there. Just talking about everything, but one thing she did mention, let me turn this TV down, was that, um, because I was telling her, Belle was looking into the keto diet and she started checking her head. She's like me and a couple of other trainees were just talking about how unhealthy that is. Really, I guess they heard of someone who had some, developed a medical issue for their body going into ketosis. I'm like, what? Let me turn off this thing. So I said, okay, maybe I'll second-guess that and just do intermittent fasting, y'all. Can y'all see me? Y'all, y'all can't see me. I'm in the shade. I'm in the shade. We're at Walmart. Got a few things. Oh, why didn't you come up to $50? I just came up here from some dye. I'm dyeing. Am I the only one that still dyes their blacks? Y'all, I've been dyeing my black clothes black for years and it makes a big difference.  So yeah, I'm dyeing my clothes black this morning. So I can look for that and a couple other things clearly. Wow. What's going on? It's Friday. It's Friday and I'm ready to swing. Yeah, it's Friday and I know y'all can't see me. So I do apologize. What else is going on? Today is my first day starting intermittent dieting. It is eight o'clock. I can't eat until noon. I ate last night around seven. So yeah, I can't eat until noon. I basically eat in between noon to like seven. That's my block and then I can't eat again until noon to the next day. Now I'm doing a rotate in days. So I'm only fasting on Monday, Wednesday, Fridays. I'm not going to even try on a weekend, girl. But I'm going to still watch what I eat. And again, I did this two years ago and I dropped a great amount of weight in a short term, short time. So yeah, anyway, that's what's going on today. Haven't had anything to eat, drinking plenty of water. Got some more water today. I'm having fish tacos. That being set and I can't wait. And I bought me some ginger ale because my stomach has been a little, so yeah, I got me some ginger ale to eat. I was looking for a ginger beer, y'all. When I was pregnant, my thing were hamburgers. I'm surprised I didn't turn into a hamburger. Turn into a hamburger. Hamburgers and non-alcoholic ginger beer, of course. Y'all, I apologize. Let me try that. Can I get in some? Girl, why didn't you just do that in the first place? Went to the gym yesterday. Ended up talking to a girl that works there for like an hour and a half and couldn't work out because they had to come home for a meeting. Yeah. I have a meeting this morning with my manager to discuss my 2017 goals and a bonus. We get bonuses yearly, which is one of the reasons why I'm still working at this place. It's not a lot, but girl, it's something. You know, it's a couple of hundred dollars. So yeah, absolutely. Once I get that, if, whatever I get, I'm gonna use that to purchase Jimmy and our tickets to go back home in September. I mean, I could pay it out of pocket, close to June or July. Let's just keep it real. But if I get that now, I can go ahead and purchase the tickets now. And yeah, that is it y'all. Tomorrow is going to be the Jamaican Drift Festival. Oh, girl. You see my hair? This is a braid-out that I recorded for you guys. I tried to apply it on my hair last night. I don't know why. I tried. I don't know why I do this. I don't know why. I don't know why. That's a gospel song. Um, I don't know why. It ended up looking like a blowout. And that's what happened two years ago. I had not been able to successfully flat iron my own hair in five years. So yeah, it just, it reverts back too fast. One. Um, and I'm just not that great at it. I'm clocking my own tea. I'm not that good at flat ironing my hair. And my, uh, the stylist, Arlette Pender, she flat ironed my hair. She is good. Let me tell you. This is how good she was at flat ironing my hair. Flat ironing my hair. And you guys have seen that quick video of that end result. And I didn't want to tape all that because it was like forever in there. But she didn't add anything to my hair. You know how people do heat protectors. She started on clean, moisturized hair. So once my hair was, she did the blowout. My hair is extremely fluffy and light. She did one pass. She's a professional. She's been doing this for 20 years. One pass curled. Boom. Body. My hair was so body. She added a little, she added a little bit of serum at the end. Done. My hair was beautiful and it stayed flat. It stayed straight for a while. Granted, I live in Phoenix where there's hardly no humidity. I mean, it's like 20% here on a good day. So yeah. Anyway, y'all. I'll just take it. I'm not eating it.  So, yeah, I'm not eating nothing, baby. I'm fasting. Anyway, y'all, yeah, that's what's going on.  At this point, my hair would have been blonde out for a little over a week. No, it'll be a week, a week tomorrow. Then I'm going to wash it next Wednesday because I'm going into the office too. I have to tell y'all about that. Not really going into the office. I'm meeting some friends, my old co-worker, my good Judy. I talk to him like every other day. I love him. I'm meeting him and let me back up. Good Judy is clearly a gay friend. Okay. For those of you who don't know. I meet up with him and another co-worker. Cheesy, but y'all, we're going to a restaurant. Those of you who've been following me for a while. Remember when I was telling y'all before I got married, there was a man, a waiter at a restaurant out here who was flirting with me. We're going to that restaurant, you guys. So we're not going to sit in that area. I know that's for sure. But he is eye candy. He looks like, what is his name? The guy that plays Wolverine. He looks like a younger version of Hugh Jackman. I mean, he grown. He has to be around 42, 43. He grown. So, yeah. Girl. Anyway, so yeah, that's going on. Like I said, the Jamaican Chicken Festival tomorrow. I need to stop by and get me some cash because they only take cash at certain of the other venues. He got him a kinder egg and now he's struggling. I can't help you with that. You struggle with it when we get home. I'll help you if you want me to get home. Okay, baby. Yeah. I'm just, I'm curious to see what my review is going to be like. I've really tried hard the last year. And in my job, my department, you have, I don't like this, but I get it because it's budget, budget. It's all about money. You have to compete for promotions. So you can give it your all. You can do exceeds expectations and not get promoted if someone else did a banging job with a client that bought in a lot of money. So I've never had a promotion at this job. Now I had a huge merit increase that I actually, I don't be afraid to do this. I approached my manager the first year she was my manager because this is my second manager at this place. And I approached it and was like, I need to be paid a little bit more money because I'm taking on all these responsibilities for a long time, not just for a period. For over a year, I was doing the work of three people. And it wasn't even funny. I was the team. Now we have a team of five people, but I was the team for a whole year. And you still paying me the money of like a, I don't know. I don't know y'all. So they gave me a good, you know, $8,000 increase but I know for a fact only because me and Christine kind of key key it up. I still make about $15,000 less than some of the people on my level. Okay. But anyway, I'll get it. God will bless me and I'm comfortable. God will bless me in due time. So I'm going to see how this, we're going to go baby. Let's go. We're going to see how this review goes. And I'm going to let her know some things I've been working. It is so pretty today. It's like a high. Oh, look at this. Isn't this pretty? I don't know what this is. Some type of gift shop. Oh, this is beautiful. Y'all have to excuse in advance. This camera is dirty. And they like, yes, they're barbecuing down here.  My lens is dirty and I just haven't had a chance to put, take apart my lens. Right. Right. It's after a century but we also have inspiration. Hi. Tacos. We're in downtown Glendale. I didn't even know Glendale had a downtown. Ciao. This is a $20. Come on in. Check out all my breakfast today. Great. It's dad. Hey, you can have a cheese spreader. What is this? It's a light. Yes. We're just looking. We're just looking. Come on baby. I think, you know what I think y'all. This right here was clearly is a vintage shop but I just think that they started selling cookies because, huh, these are houses. Yes, they're businesses now. These are all houses though. Have you even discussed it any further? So this one right here says Glendale flowers. Mm-hmm. This one says, this one's clothes. It says, Peach's boutique. Yeah, baby. These houses, let me turn off the car y'all because I know this is shaking. Oh, it's hot though. Let me turn on the water though. Um, we've been out here. We gotta hear it at one o'clock. We've been out here for two hours. It's time to go home. I'm hungry. I had some street tacos as you guys saw but they were so tiny that I literally, I got a phone case. I'm sure, yeah you got a phone case. Because of the event. Um, it was like an appetizer. Girl, so I'm home. Hey y'all, we are back home. Oh, Jesus baby. It's okay. Um. This phone case does not fit in my phone. I'm so, cause I'm not. So ready to come home and then come to find out that that phone case doesn't even fit. Y'all, I do apologize in advance for the footage you guys mine. I can see the dirt on the inside from here. I can see the dirt on my camera. Um, but you'll be surprised what you have to do to clean the inside of the camera. You wanna know? Okay, let me tell you. First of all, you have to drill a hole on the side of the camera lens itself so that you can put a Q-tip in and clean the inside of it. It's not dirty on the outside which is why you guys can see me clear but when I flip it around and tape normally, and it's only outside where you can really see the dirt. Yeah, and you want me to put it back together. Thanks a lot, Jaby. You're probably right. So, I mean, I've watched several videos on it. Okay, I can't stand you. I've seen several videos on how to do it and the dust is mostly because one, we're in the desert so there's dust on it. So yeah, I wonder if I could use like a can of that, that stuff gets cold though. If you put, I don't wanna damage my camera. You know what I'm talking about? That dust be gone, stuff you use for your office equipment. I wonder if, there has to be another way to clean the inside of the lens besides drilling a hole and you have to literally take the lenses down so that they won't move. Yeah, okay. That is gonna be it for this vlog. You guys, we're back to shorter vlogs no more. Look, I say that now. I'm trying to refrain from the 30-minute vlogs. Those were typically when I was vlogging like every two weeks. So we're back, I think we're back on weekly vlogs right now, we're in March. So once a week, we're vlogging. Uploading Monday, Wednesday for vlogging. Trying to upload on Fridays for hair videos but I got so many coming up that you may get two, more than likely we are gonna be getting two videos. Hair videos and then it was a dollar, JB. Anyway, y'all, I'm trying to tell y'all the schedule. Vlogging Monday, Wednesday, hair videos on Friday, series videos, many right now we're in living in my purpose, journey, series, Saturday. So... Baby. Oh, God. Yeah, I was getting some stairs from the opposite S-E-X. You know what, it's good when you, even though, yes, yes, I am married and I don't even look at people like that anymore. You knew that, baby. But it's good to know that that I still got it. Yes, even though I have one of my onesie, not my onesie, but my at-home nightgown. Come on, babies, let's say bye to these people now. Come on, child. All right, y'all.


For sure, a lot of people think there's a scam and so on and so on, there's a copy of Ethereum, whatever. For us, it's important that people need it. Zergay Kuhns is a co-founder and the CEO of one of the fastest-rising DEX aggregators in the DeFi space, one inch. A DEX aggregator is a financial protocol that sources liquidity from multiple decentralized exchanges to offer traders optimal prices via a single dashboard. In the past year, one inch's monthly trading volume rose from under $80 million to nearly $8 billion as of February 2021. That's just one order of magnitude behind the monthly volume of decentralized exchange Uniswap. But the rise of one inch hasn't been without hiccups. DeFi leaderboard DeFi Pulse refused to list one inch until recently due to a falling out between the respective founders. Scott Lewis, the founder of DeFi Pulse, banned Kuhns from his community, citing threats of violence among other grievances. The two have yet to make amends.  And they just declined. And that's fine for me. Join Cointelegraph senior editor Alex Cohen and dive into the history, drama, and technological innovation behind the one inch project in this exclusive Cointelegraph interview. So, okay, let me just start off with asking you the first question of how exactly you got into crypto. At what point did it peak your interest and at what stage do you realize that you need to set a dex aggregator such as one inch? Hi Alex. So first of all, it's a pleasure to make this interview with you. And yeah, back to the roots where we started with the one inch. The initial idea was actually from Anton who suggested to build on a hackathon on ETH New York 2019 to build a one gap which would list all the different exchanges. And then you can just select one where you can swap for the best price. But I had also the idea to improve that by just splitting in small pieces the amount which you are going to swap and just exchange it on multiple sources at the same time to reduce the price slippage because price slippage was the biggest problem in the DeFi space in the time. And actually we built it for us. Anton was swapping all the time and needed the best rate. And I was playing around with arbitrage boards before that. And yeah, somehow it was really helpful for other people. We found out after the hackathon. And on the hackathon we didn't win any huge prizes on this small ENS prize, 300 bucks I guess. So I was able to pay for my ticket for the airplane. So yeah, this is actually the story. So how long did it take for you and your co-founder, Anton, to put everything together? You said it was quite quick. But how quick exactly? Because that's one of the worries of people that are using DeFi, the things that just put together, sort of slapped together really quickly and then they get burned. Yeah, look, I and Anton, we count already around 17 years of professional experience in software engineering architecture. Anton had much more experience in cryptocurrencies and algorithms and math. So we actually built it over two nights. And one day we found a new slip. I built most of the part was from my site on the front end, so like the DApp and the interaction, the user interface. And Anton wrote the algorithm and the smart contract. So we put it together and just like without any sleep over two nights and one day we were able to deliver it. Yeah, the hackathon. Yeah, for sure. And so the project really came to light with the token, like people really started talking about it after the distribution of the token on Christmas Eve. So I've read some interviews by you and your colleagues that you don't see the token as an investment. It should be really used as a utility, but obviously, given the hype around DeFi and everything, it doesn't really matter what you would say the token should be used for. People are going to still be speculating on it. And eventually some may get hurt and burn by the losses. So what do you think about this? Like, did you expect some kind of a risk or sort of negative effects from the token when you decided to, well, not just release it, but actually start dropping it to different people? Yeah, we got a lot of negative feedback from the community, from the people who bought at the beginning on the release day, the token. So actually, the Oneinch Foundation issued the token and started the distribution, the idea behind the distribution to make the token more decentralized. Yeah, you don't see any financial value behind the token. So one inch is equal to one inch, nothing else. And sure, actually, we didn't even start with the economics which we planned with the whole team. The idea of Oneinch tokens in the first place right now to participate in the governance. So you have a kind of ticket, with this ticket you get access to change some settings in the protocol. Of course, those people can also participate in discussions on governance forum, for example, make suggestions and so on and so on. So we've seen articles that some users of the platform received absolutely humongous amounts of coins. Others would just get the basic general low amount. So I think one person got 9 million tokens if I'm not mistaken, but it amounted to like 27 billion. And overall, would you, can you sort of explain how much Oneinch holds for themselves? And going forward, are there any other plans to airdrop any more tokens like you did just recently, a few weeks ago? So I have to say that this was not a airdrop, this was talking distribution. So as a user, you got the right to claim this token. Decision was done by the Foundation, already set before to make it more decentralized. We had already two waves. So the first wave was for those people who used before Oneinch token. And the second wave includes also those people who used our experimental liquidity protocol, which we released in the summer last year. I guess one guy got a lot of tokens because they provided a lot of liquidity in our liquidity protocol. This is the point. If you participate a lot in the protocol, you can get more tokens, which can increase your voting power, for example. And later, you get more options to do something with that. And this is actually not bad because yeah, this guy got five millions. I'm not sure how much it was, maybe five, maybe less. But this guy communicated with us. He suggests a lot. He supports us. He introduces us to other projects and so on and so on. There's a lot of value of such people who are fighting for us from the beginning. How are the gas prices affecting you currently as a platform? So we see that people are still swapping because they have to swap. Some people have loans somewhere and they have to repay. We have seen a lot of liquidations in last days. So yeah, huge gas prices, as I would say, is bad for the whole space. We need a solution for that. We try to get in touch with the miners and suggest that they should increase the block size, but they somehow are really passive. And we hope to see the Ethereum 2.0. If we stick with this sort of scaling and Ethereum 2.0, do you intend to stick to Ethereum or maybe we'll be looking to fix the issues that are plaguing the whole industry right now? There was an announcement about near integration quite recently. But overall, what are your thoughts on this? Are you just going to stick it out and wait for Ethereum to come through? So first of all, I have to say something better compared to Ethereum can be only Ethereum. So and we are waiting for Ethereum 2.0. But for sure, we have to scale. I would say it's horizontally. We announced already a collaboration with NIR protocol because we are like friends with them and Anton was working for them. I had also like a month or two working, helping a little bit them in 2019. So Anton wrote the rainbow bridge which allows us to move funds from Ethereum to NIR protocol. And as soon as NIR protocol supports Ethereum smart contracts and they are almost done with that, how I know, we will for sure deploy there and we will give you an option to switch in our user interface really easy to this protocol. We announced also a collaboration with Tron. For sure, a lot of people think there's a scam and so on and so on. There's a copy of Ethereum, whatever. For us, it's important that the people need it. There are people who use it and we see also dexers there on the platform. So and if you have dexers there, we can aggregate. I also wanted to ask you about your relationships with other dexers and dex aggregators and just DeFi projects out there. So for example, Uniswap, would you say there was a rivalry between you and that platform even though you kind of use it to root the volume through it? And likewise, there were also stories about DeFi pulse not too long ago. Any updates on that from your side? Yeah, first of all, about the DeFi pools. So yeah, we had conflict. We have still conflict with the founder of DeFi Pulse and Dex IG because they just use our smart contracts without asking for that because it was on the computer right on the beginning when we started with Uniswap aggregation protocol. And we wanted just that they mention us in the source code when they publish our pieces of codes. And yeah, and there were some miscommunications with them and some bad jokes also from my side. But we tried to keep to stay friends with most of the projects or with all the projects with DeFi Pulse.   And they just declined. And that's fine for me. If they feel like that, it's okay. With other projects, maybe first of all, DeFi Pulse, they actually merged our pull request to get us listed, at least on the test platform and maybe already on the main net. So yeah, that's great, but we needed a pressure, social pressure from. So that's why we published this tweet because we tried first with emails and only social pressure helps. So about other projects like Uniswap, I would say we are friends, friends, but we are talking like once a year. For sure they have, from my point of view, a little bit fear because we introduce our own liquidity protocol. It's much more efficient than Uniswap because we charge fixed also amount of fees. And just zoom in now onto the DeFi space in general. What do you think will happen to DeFi in 2021? And what do you think about the negatives and the positives that the industry has developed up to this point? Will some of those get resolved or will some things get improved on? So what are your general thoughts on this? So I see a huge pain point right now is the gas price. It's not possible to onboard new people right now on Ethereum because they have to pay a lot of money, like 50 bucks for transaction, 100 bucks for staking in the contract. It's a huge amount. We will see solving these problems with Layer 2 solutions or improving this problem, improving this issue by seeing people moving to other chains like Buone's Munchin, for example. We will see 2021 people moving to Layer 2 solutions to scale a little bit. Optimistic roll up is going to release soon what I understood in the mainnet. And for sure we will participate in this movement. And we are waiting for Ethereum 2.0. However, it's said better than Ethereum can be only Ethereum. So we need to move fast. The main pain point is the gas price. It should be better with additional side chains or better for sure Layer 2 with Optimism, for example, or ZK Snarks. So do you think adoption will come to DeFi once the gas fee issue is taken care of? Not only gas fees problem, also the amount of transaction which can be covered by the miners or by the nodes. And when we have great throughput and lower gas costs, then we can build much better products with better user experience. Well, I guess that's all I wanted to cover. So yeah, thank you very much for your time. It was a great pleasure to talk to you. Great, thank you also. It was a pleasure also to give this interview.


What do they say? Texas, I'm in you. I heard it's Yeehaw 2022 tour. And so, you know, the PR has been calling, not personal record, public relations, New York bestseller times, Washington CNN, N.B. Post. All these people have been calling and they say, Mike, it's time to go back on tour. You haven't been on tour since 2019. I said, all right, Yeehaw tour 2022. We'll see you in the exes. I don't know, man. This place is pretty dope. We're in a Game Day barbell, Austin, Texas with the homies. Too many homies to name, but Joe and Nico, give a little training session in. Stop one. This was priority. Stop one on the Texas Yeehaw 2022 tour. So I got to get my squats in. Sleep's a little weird. We went and saw Joe Rogan last night. It was cool. A bunch of really cool comedians, David Lucas and all these guys, shout out to them. Great show. Great meeting them and having a good time. Obviously, we couldn't film some of that. It's their IP. And then the kids, all these motherfuckers were up all night. Luckily, my room's in the backyard so I got to go get quiet. But I still went to bed at like two. It's pretty late for me. Even with the time change. So it was midnight at home. But we're in it. So we're going to turn the music up.  We got some heavy squats. So they are like 405 for a bunch of tempo work. Coach Joe, hopefully yell at me and look at me and say, I suck. And then we'll see what the day takes. Come on, Mikey. I got to impress all my strong friends. Don't embarrass us. Look cool. Look cool. Where's the ammonia? I got chugged. I relived. I'm walking around with kind of my rib cage position.  But more importantly, wanted me to get my hips a little bit more lead the way. Yeah. So the rib cage position looks a little bit better, right?  But I can tell as you're coming out of the hole, you're still wanting to like raise your chest instead of letting your hips kind of come forward and bring your chest up naturally, right? Which to be fair is a natural reaction. We got weight on our back. We don't want it to like roll or anything like that. I want you to do your best on the lighter sets to kind of fight that, right?  And when things get heavier, you're going to be able to push that much harder. Makes sense. So yeah, think a little more leg crusty. Think a little bit more to keep my torso angle. Yeah. Like if you have to be like kinesthetically aware of something, yeah, be thinking more about your legs more than anything else. Because if you think about just where your quads are in space, you're going to be more likely to actually be focused on pushing with them than worrying about like lifting yourself. That's why I think like leg crusty. Yeah, exactly. Which I think a lot of people like make that mistake.  I got to think about first shirt, right? Yeah, for sure. The only reason I came to Austin was Miso. That's a good boy, Miso. That's why you brought the big old luggage, right? Yeah. Bringing them home. She's coming home. Home. You want to come home with us? I'll feed you the good food, Miso. Hey, you like Sacramento? Hey. Hey. You want to come home with us? Home. That's a good boy. That's a good boy. Yeah, that's a good boy, Miso. Big skinny boy. We're going to put you on the bulk. Don't come up. You're skinny like your daddy.  Good boy. Feel good. Sometimes energy, new environment gets me a little fired up.  That makes me stronger for some reason. Like Kryptonite makes Superman weaker. Cameras make me stronger. The weather helps the joints a lot. It's a little wet. It's a little wet. So like free lubed knees. Feel good. A little sweaty, obviously, but feel pretty good. I'm going to try to get some cardio on before we leave. I know we'll walk today, but I got a little crazy two weeks before I left, so. I just want to figure it out a little bit. When you travel, you're not eating good. Yeah, let's check out Austin a little bit. Show you guys the sights a little bit. Yeah, I think the whole crew are probably rolling 20 D. So we'll see. Yes or no. If you're out of spot like this, I love cafes, by the way. I love gas stations. I love cafes.  I'm asking a question. I'm not allowed to ask questions to the fan.  That's a very valid question because all life is is vibrations and you guys will learn that when you start to grow up. Life is just vibrations. Your thoughts are vibrations. Our energy is vibrations. Food is vibrations. And so I'm wondering if everyone's getting breakfast. I'm going omelette. I got some hot coffee. If my dude goes with, if he goes with a root beer float and a hot dog, does that ruin the vibe? Wait, wait, wait. He was saying he wanted a case of D. I'm just saying hypothetical. We're just asking questions. There's nothing based on reality. Everyone's going to offend it here. I'm just talking about hypotheticals if I'm getting breakfast and sourdough, which for some reason all of a sudden became Captain Crunch. It's sourdough bread.  You're tripping. That's S tier. That's the best bread. It literally hurts my mouth. What do you eat? Do you put ice cubes on it? That's not bread do you like.  I'm kidding. I'm kidding. All that's fine too. Bread is great. But sourdough is the best. Sourdough is the best. Dude, that's all they have here, bro. That's the only option I have in Austin, bro. Literally, it's the only thing they have here, bro. Magnolia? Is that a film company? Production company. It's a color, bro. Magnolia? I don't think so. Magenta maybe? Back, back, bro. Thank you. I'm getting all my bro. We're getting jacked. Whenever I feel jacked, people around me, I feel like I get an extra jack. Me and JP, yeah, not here, but JP and I lock eyes a lot in my eye. What does a kind of strong but not crazy strong but not weak I eat?  See if it hurts my mouth again. There's no way bread of sourdough hits your... Yeah, true. Other breads don't? Other breads hit your face the same. Bro, it hits the root of my mouth. It's kind of different, bro. Honestly, I got five eggs with cheese, salsa, more queso on top, bro. You got extra queso now? Yeah, no, this is all you should have. Happy to have you guys here. Happy to have you guys here in Austin, my home. Thank you. I appreciate it. So he said I can't lose weight when we go to Houston stuff, but I think we can. Not that I'm gaining weight. We're steady, 10 pounds up from the cut. We wouldn't literally injure the butter into everything. Yeah, but I'll just say you like meat and stuff, and we only eat two big meals a day. So we got a little fruit, a little omelet extra ham, sourdough toast, because it is by far the best bread, S-tier bread. Oh, my garlic bread.  That's like saying like pizza's the best bread, but like yeah, that don't count. We're talking like if you just throw bread in a pot thing. You know what I mean?  Yeah, that's the best, but you dressed it up. I know that was a really large concept. You're insulting my ex-girlfriend's ancestors right here. I don't know what that means. You want to talk about that? I don't know what that means. What? You just add garlic and then a little bit of butter.  We're just talking about the bread itself. Yeah, garlic bread isn't a type of bread. It's not just added on, it's infused. I know, but you could do it to sourdough, you could do it to rye. Obviously they do it to a baguette. Wait, what, is your ex-girlfriend Italian? Ex-girlfriend. Okay, is your ex-girlfriend Italian? He's Italian.   Yeah, dude, stain your lanes.   I don't know your last name. Oh my God, be quiet, Simon. Mike, don't talk. Oh my God, that's so funny. I've never heard that. Check people's fits. But who's got the pick up of the day? What do you do? Abby, what do you get? We're gonna vote the pick up of the day. Oh, okay. Oh no, mine is not, mine, I don't think mine is top. Am I going off or am I? Yeah, here we go, you have to compare like so. Yeah. Crew neck? Sorry. I just like the color green on. No, it's cool. It's kind of classy. Yeah, it's kind of like a grandma vibe in the best way. It's embroidered. Yeah. And Noah in the best way. Cozy way. No, it's good. Color's nice and thick. Good color green. It's a higher neck. No, it's clean. I like that green too. Kind of like a foresty. Yeah, I've been wanting a forest green. Yeah, it goes with a lot. I think you wear it both ways. Right? Yeah, it goes with a lot. Crew necks, crew necks are dope. Yeah, that's it, that's neat. You're on the spotlight. You got to choose one though. You got a couple things. I can only choose one. You got to choose one piece that's the hitter of the day. Okay, it's got to be this. Dude, he put it on. It is really good. This is definitely the hitter of the day. Yeah. Fuckin' good. $12.99 a pound. And the steel. And it's a steel. Old school wrangler. Got that New Mexico print on there. Yeah. I'm very happy. No, he put it on. He tried it on in the other spot. I'm very happy. It is good. It's good. Yeah, it's really good. What's up? It's your boy. Give me out here. We're 30. Pick up the day. What's the pick of the day? I get one item. Show us. You get to choose one item. Pick up the day.  Oops, I did it again. That's his play with my heart. How much was it? No, it's good though. Damn. No, it's worth it. I've never seen that graphic. Yeah, it's sick. It's sick. Justin, nine. Plus the game day, boys. Yes, girl. Yeah, plus Justin's lady. Plus Bart's meanness like in a couple of days. So we're trying to organize what the hell's going on in the Yeehaw 2022 tour. Today was chaos, but fun chaos.  And then tomorrow, it's like a coin flip.   So I think we're going straight there. I think we're going to wake up early, which, shout out my boy JP, early means noon. Dude's on demon hours.  No one, I don't know. They keep saying like, Mike, you're not old. Like, bitch, I wake up at like normal hours. Y'all in some demon time.  Like they're all going to bed at 4 a.m., waking up at noon. Mike, he's trying to be in bed three hours ago. I didn't wake up at noon. No, you did pretty good. But that was my alarm too. You're stuck with rooming with me. So you're fucked. No, I didn't even hear that. Oh, really? You just kind of woke up. Yeah, so I think we're hitting road 10-ish, 11-ish? I mean, we got to be out of here by 11. Yeah, probably 11-ish. All right, so we'll go real slow. We're going to go 11, basically. And then we're going to find a gym, and we're going to see what the legs say. I don't know if you guys talk to yourself. I don't talk to myself like a crazy old lady or talk to my cats, but I talk to my legs. What he flexed, dude.  Is it live?  Hold on, hold on. What's that? What's that? I don't know, I got... I don't know, I got... Everything's so heavy. I'm making push-ups. I'm making push-ups in the bathroom. I turned on the hot shower.  But, yeah, you guys walk... I can't... You guys walk vitamins? I can't think of anything. I'm like syringes. I have syringes right now. Then we're gonna train. I gotta see up my legs. We're gonna talk to him.  Can we pull 585 for five? Or do you need a little sleepy break? And then we'll find a gym or not. We'll see you tomorrow. We'll see you tomorrow. Here's our pride known Guzmán for 10 years. He's like a teenager, bro. We probably met at the Olympia when he was like 20 years old. He's just all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and now a dude built an empire. You know? Like, everyone talks about it. It's easy to talk about it on the camera, but the homies can rep for me. I say it off camera, too. I like to see my friends succeed and to see Guzmán do what he does and, like, so analytical and so hardworking and continue to push the bounds of what fitness looks like. This isn't fitness, bro.  I've been in fitness a long time.  He's on his own thing, so... It's kind of a little surreal to be here. Not because of the social media stuff, but because I know the dude that built it and I knew where he came from. I saw him open his first gym. He opened his first gym open... After I opened my first gym, it was the same style.  I was watching Guzmán's vlog. He was doing the same thing. We were talking to each other. Now, literally, we're in Disneyland, so... Not much training today. I'm going to do some upper body, but we're just going to explore Alfa Land, man. So welcome to the video of Alfa Land, Houston, Texas. Shout out to Guzmán, man. Boy, he's killing it. So I think the team's eating. I'm going to get some caffeine to me. It's still... It's not early, but it's early. And we'll take you around the gym. We're going to play, man. We're having a good time. This place is insane, so... I'm just here to have a good time, man.   Look at that, look at that. Bitch!  Fuck! He just starts to...   I got jealous, bro. I'm not as a bodybuilder that is going to do more than one rep. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I want you to do 12-15. It's all right, it's all right. It's all right, it's all right. My program is only lower body, so we're going to just have fun today. I just don't care. So we benched 335. It's actually kind of slow compared to 315. But I don't really chain bench right now, so... I'm chilling. Maybe a little snack in a second. We got a little place here, but a little water stay hydrated. I think today's low key. I think we're hanging out here for the most of the day and then probably finding food. I think Bart leaves the rest of the cruise here. So we're just chilling, man. Taking it in the sights, playing a little football. I mean this kind of stuff's why I like the gym and why I like what's going on. You just hang out with the boys left a little bit. It's cool to be competitive. Everything we preach here is still true. Have a goal, build a plan, set yourself up for success. Hit that goal, build a new plan, build a new goal, but it's also fun just to be part of the culture, man. You know? Show me a little song. Show me a little song. Oh, oh, oh.   You want that old school shit? Oh, oh, oh.  I touched his balls. His real balls. Grab the whole glissi. Grab the whole glissi on the moon. That's the only way to guard me.  That's the only way he could guard me. Maybe not my best workout ever, but Alphalands dope, man. Cool to see a lot of the friends here, too. Just ran on the train in Duhans over there and all the crew hanging out with the boys again. That's kind of why I stay in this thing. I use the barbell as a microphone to talk to you all and share my journeys. The culture of the people. The culture in the community. So fun having a good time with the friends, playing a little bit basketball. Gave my heart rate up a little bit. We got to squat heavy tomorrow. But I think that's it for us. We're going to go grab food and chill for the day. I'll catch you on the vlog. So new video every Monday, Thursday. Big squat day. I think we're heading to Corrupted tomorrow, man. We over me. Be a part of something big yourself, Salamite. Come on.
