"You're listening to the simple man with Ethan Krell and Stan Nicky Rod and Dave DeBian, and Andrew Sutton, oh, stay a while if you know about the jujitsu. If you don't, you can come too." How many waterlows you drinking today? I drink at least eight. I'm serious. I don't think it's bad either. It's just water. Carbonate to water. How about how many smashing energies you'd be doing? One. One? Is that like your coffee substitute? It should be. I might be doing both sometimes, but it should be. You drinkers live longer. Do you, since you've been deadlifting, do you have a different opinion about deadlifting? No, actually it's really good. Deadlifting is amazing. Top of the charts. Yeah, yeah, don't say any. No bad energy, no negativity. No negativity. It's part of, this is, progress is not linear. It's ups and downs, and you're on a down. It's okay. Yeah, you're on a down, but it's okay. What's you come back on? Are you going to get stronger when you heal from it? No, why are you going to be? I mean, you're going to get stronger when you start. You don't know what your max deadlift is. Dude, they don't make a bar big enough. I'm a bar bender. The last bar bender? Have you defeated the fire lord? It's just not necessary. I think that lifting is good, but just keeping light. Keep the light? No. Heavy. It feels so good lifting something you like couldn't last week, you know? I bet the best strongest wrestlers don't deadlift that much. You don't think so? I don't know. Yeah. Guys, this episode is brought to you by X Marshall. What do we have here? It's a dog cage. Wow. This right here is a bless you. This right here is an X Marshall grappling bag, right? As you can see, it's pretty, it has a bunch of holes. It's ventilated, right? The problem with Jiu Jitsu stuff, Jiu Jitsu gear, if you just throw it in a bag, it's a stinky, sweaty, you get your staff in the bag and then you got a staff bag. We don't want a staff bag, right? Beautiful material, a little mesh on the side to keep your keep your drinks. Oh, dude, that's an inmate bag. Yeah, it's sick. I'm a mug. I think there's some custom shit in there for Jim. There should be. Jim Dog. Beautiful. That's your open that ship for Jim on the pop pod. 1% better every day. What's on the back? Sick. Oh, sick. Sick. Look at that. God damn. Beautiful. Fire. Epic. Dude, that's sick. Thanks, X Marshall. There we go. That's sick. Here, let's toss the gear for you. Forget your Jim Dog. Sick. There's something else in there. It sounded like a. Mouth guard. Mouth guard. Mouth guard. There we go. Look at that. Beautiful X Marshall. Dude, it's surprising how many people in Jiu Jitsu don't rock a mouthpiece. Yeah, I just started wearing it like the past six months and it really. Really? You think I should do this? I mean, do my teeth are expensive, bro. Brother. A teeth are expensive and even the best like mouth jobs don't look that good. The mouth jobs. Like, I feel like the whatever they do doesn't look as good as a natural set of teeth. The OG teeth. Yeah, what you're going with. Yeah. Well, the veneers and shit always look fake. They look fake. Even the fantastic mountains. Same to me. They look. It's always taken adjustment. When I see them, I'm like, oh, okay. I guess it's normal now. They're too wide. They're too stray. It's like, it's not a natural smile. It's like a cartoon thing. Yeah, it could be. Why is seeing somebody that has a beautiful smile and then they shave their teeth down to get the veneers because they're chasing perfection? Now, when they, if they don't have the veneers on, their teeth are like T-Rex snaggle too. So they have to have that for life. For life. Yeah, yeah. Oh. They shave it down to little stubs and they put caps on. Do they have to brush their teeth? Like, how does this sound like? Actually, I can't say that. Do they take it off ever? No, it's permanent. Actually, I don't know. You're just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. It's permanent. I don't know. I have no clue. But that's wild. That's the key thing is weird. Like, they look just disgusting. Like, if it comes off or whatever. Yeah. You look like like a gold. Yeah. Yeah, go. Got them. Got them. Yeah, crazy. I just flossed and brought. Well, you guys are saying I should wear a mouth guard. Dude, you should wear a mouth guard. I've chipped my teeth so many times. They just kind of. I chipped it as well. But it can get worse. Like, you can lose it. Imagine losing a tooth. And then you got you got to get a implant or something. The old gold one in there. You could. Oh, it's pretty cool. You look like Jake Shields lost the tooth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be like that. Dude, you saw you saw in ADCC Finals when Pena versus this guy in the not even finals, but it was like the super, the super fight. The super fight. Yeah. Oh, did he chip his tooth? He chipped his tooth. He either. He a pop veneer popped out. Oh, fuck. That's what happened. His teeth were fine. But veneer. Who's veneer? Oh, Gordon's veneer. No fucking. I didn't realize that's what it was. Yeah, yeah, fine. You see, we're fine. And it's veneer popped out. And it literally just had a little midget tooth in there. I was like, bro. I had-- What a bad decision. Are you serious? I remember something happening with the tooth. I had no idea this. I did not think about the tooth thing. I forgot. That's hilarious. You want to be like that? You remember? You don't remember. No, but you don't remember. You don't remember. You don't remember. You don't remember. You don't remember his tooth fucking falling out or getting zero recollect. Nothing. It's hard to see, like, the actual-- Do you see on camera? You can't grind your teeth down like that. Like, you have to go unconscious. You know what I mean? Or they know something? Brother, I have no clue. I doubt you're going to go unconscious for a-- They're going to put you under for that. Like, I mean, they can put you under for dental stuff, but I don't think veneers would-- Do they file all of your teeth, like, in one shot? I'm sure. I'm sure it's a whole process. I'd be crazy if they put you under. Because, like, going under-- There is a risk every time-- Yeah, that's for sure a risk, yeah. You know. Ah, yeah. But I just think this. Who really knows? This is a podcast for thinking. If you come here and you expect to get, like, reliable medical information, that's on you, you know? That is on you. I can't find it too much scrolling. Hey, guys.

I'm, like, three-- three something. Oh, I saw seven. Holy fuck. What are you doing? What are you doing on your phone? Tape? Tape, huh? Thing is, I always-- You probably do stuff. What's your apps? Yeah. Oh wait. Um, CL apps. Instagram and YouTube. Hey, you know what? It's fine. You got good analytics. Instagram and YouTube. The thing is, YouTube is-- I listen to a lot of podcasts and shit. I just let it run. Well, yeah. I'm just laughing at your excuse. All right, what's yours, Mr. Fuddly. I don't mind. Mr. I have my idea. Mr. Scottsdale, you're deleting shit now. Screen time, four minutes. It says up now. It says three hours. It's setting. He doesn't answer anyone's text ever. Setting is the most used app. Three hours and 40 minutes and 20% up from last week. Three hours, 40? Yeah. What's your-- Most used app. Used app. Yeah. If it's Instagram, then no go. Oh, the porn hub app. They're making us see a-- I don't even know. It's Instagram at 30 minutes a day, 27. That's very low. That's great. Yeah, I don't-- That's really good. I'll be on social media like that. Post-- Oh wait. Five hours. Oh wait, no, no. Week. I don't know. Today's only been two hours, 20 minutes. One day's on over. All right, you got to go for a week. All right, let's go a week. Yeah, that's my weekly average. 3.40. If you have a podcast running on Spotify or whatever, does that count? Screen time. I think if it's a video, we've just-- Sure. If it's-- Like a screen time. If you're working at it. Yeah. What's yours, Ethan? Screen time. 3.40. I got to get my-- 3.40, what? 7. 3 hours. Oh, that's daily average. Yeah, it's 70% up from last week. What's your most used app for sure, Instagram? Where do I? Click the top. Just click that. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, but right below-- See all apps. Nest. Nest. Ha ha. Do watch tapes. See? Oh, Nest. Good shit. Nest, Instacart, Instagram. What? Instacart. How much time are you spending on Instacart? What is this? I like-- I do go-- Instacart is like grocery delivery. You don't even grocery deliver. Oh, yes, I do. You said I don't-- You said I don't-- No, I said I don't a while ago. And since then, I've changed. The second I said that, I'm like, okay, now it's-- [LAUGHTER] I got to try and never suspect anything. [LAUGHTER] He takes a three month vacation from Central. Oh, yeah. She just-- That is hilarious. Yeah, Nest. We watch a lot, especially with the past little month here. Yeah, Nest. It's watching rounds and shit. Watching that. That's good. How much time on Nest? Average 27 minutes. Oh, too. Oh, really? That's disgusting. I saw you sneeze. Why do you wait till we're in here? Because it's not my-- I don't want to determine when this song comes. It just kind of goes. Yeah, OK. But I got to sneeze, I sneeze. Yeah. [LAUGHTER] You can't control it. Yeah, 27 minutes. I don't know. Whatever. Anyway, you guys watch your rounds ever? Or your training? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. I like to see my passing and my takedowns and stuff like that. Yeah. I like seeing my reaction to things. Like, when a guy-- I don't know. Like, what do I kind of do instinctively? Are you watching more Nest now that you're not training? Yeah, absolutely. Wayne, always. That's supposed to be a known thing. Who are you watching? Ah, yeah. I'm cornered. I'm around a fucking girl. Or are you just watching the whole room, or are you just picking specific rounds? I'm looking at Liam's rounds. I'm looking-- like, when you trained with Nicki, I was like, oh, I want to see that. I saw-- I watched a lot of year rounds with Mateya. Nicki's so fun to train with, man. Yeah, Mateya. Yeah, fuck, man. Mateya's good as fuck, bro. So good, brother, motherfucker. Um, just the interesting rounds. Jay's fucking sick to watch Liam, too. Watch a lot of Liam's rounds. Me and Liam will watch it and help. Yeah, that's cool. Let me see what's going on. And, uh, that's it. Yeah. Just good rounds. I told Jay Dog yesterday, I was like, you are really good at being snappy. Yeah. We need to, like, know how to chill. Be sleepy. Let's flow into snap, not snap all the time. He's like, but I like a snap. What a raker snap. That's because, like, the wrestler pace is so much higher. Not necessarily. Look at Jay Rod. Well, I think he did a good job of transitioning, I think. But also, he-- I could be wrong. Didn't he say that he used to get fucked up in the beginning of his rounds in wrestling, and then would just come back at the end? Like, that was his, like, thing. He did it. Yeah, he was just like, he would do it. He would always be losing every match and then win. And he was-- He was, I think, with Giles. He's senior year. He was, like, 40 and 0. But he would lose his first two periods. And then win the third. See, that's hilarious. Yeah. And then his 80 C.C. trials was just like that. And now he's starting to transition. So I think, like, the flowy-- He's downloading the information, getting fucked up, and then boom, I got it. I mean, dude, Jordan's fourth period, you know what I mean? You're second. Oh, really? Yeah, I know. But fuck it, I can't believe-- I can't believe-- No, beat him. Burrows. My golden burrows, yeah. Oh, are you talking about that? I said, am I going to go Jordan? Oh, I thought you were saying Jordan burrows, too. Oh, yeah. I mean, that makes sense as well. Yeah, I'm going to spend the Michael Jordan. But yes, Nolf did beat Jordan. Yeah, that was-- That's crazy. --impressive, truly impressive. Yeah. And then he's retired. He's like chilling out. Yeah, just retired as the club. We got to make a trip out to the club. Yeah, we got to go to the wrestling club. I think it's really valuable to learn wrestling from him. Yeah, I mean, fucking sick. May I go next week? Yeah. Come on. Let me know. I want to go. A little longer. I'll go again. I won't be on one time. OK, fine. I'm so down, I really want to just learn actual wrestling. I don't think I'm on a day. Yeah. Can you do a Thursday? It has to be Monday, Wednesday, or Friday. OK, I'll figure out his schedule. We'll see what's up, the Nolf Pack. That's what it's called, Nolf Pack. Yeah, a great name. Sick, Wolf Pack. Yeah.

That's all they got. Yeah, you know, fucking buying a house. I don't get me wrong. I'm super excited. Can't wait to have the house. Basically, it's a new build inside of community. So we get to pick out all this fucking shit. New community. New work community. Yeah. It's like we get to pick out all the shit that's going to go inside of it and whatever design and how we want it. So it's really cool. But I'm just thinking, all these people are so excited to go into debt. I remember before I was going through the contract. Before I contracted, I went to training and I'm talking about a Nicki rod. And I'm just like, I don't have this great feeling of everyone's like, yeah, yeah, I'm like, I'm just sinking, you know, six figures. It's not sinking though. Like I'm paying rent. Putting it from your bank into another bank. Yes, yes. I'm paying rent. I'm sinking money into. You're giving it away. A black hole, a blivian, nothing. I never get it back. You're investing in a property that you get to live in. That's fucking that's true. So essentially, you're only giving away a couple hundred bucks a month in interest as well as a few thousand bucks a month in rent. Yeah. No, you're right. You're right. You're right. I'm super hyped. I can't wait to fucking have this house. But yeah, so we. Change is mine pretty quick. No, no, no, no. I'm very excited. Okay, bud. It's just brother. These fucking guys are like, yeah, $400,000 in debt. I'm just like, bro, that's crazy. Is it considered debt? It is a hundred percent considered debt. It's the loan. It's a loan from the bank, right? I don't really have any debt is the thing. Like I don't, I don't like debt. You do now. You couldn't help it. I'm like, fuck. And then I'm looking up. So I went down a whole rabbit hole. I'm like, how do people? Cause I'm like, I can't, I can't imagine like all these people. People are foreclosing and people, you know, can't afford. Now you're part of the bubble. Well, I'm just, I'm just like fucking looking up. I'm like, uh, the different amounts of debt that normal people have. Normal people have like, usually $7,000 of credit card debt. Sometimes like. Well, you're looking at the average. Yeah. Well, probably the average is brought down from people who have zero debt. No, like the overall. No, I'm saying like a credit card debt. Yeah. I mean, the average is not people who just don't own homes. No. This, I'm talking about credit card debt, brother. Yeah. But you could have credit card debt without owning a home. Yeah. There's nothing to do what I'm talking about. No, no. All I was saying was I think people make very dumb financial decisions. And then I am trying to avoid all dumb financial decisions. Too late. Yeah. What I can say you should do is when you get your house, take your time furnishing it. Oh, 100%. Don't drop 20K on tables and couches. Take your time, bro. Zero. Everybody does that. They rush to furnish it and then they're 20K in debt. That's all for fucking tables and chairs. Bro, that's what I was looking up to. I was like, no, these people 100% get the house. And then, yeah, they take out like, they put on a credit card to furnish the whole fucking thing. So it looks nice. And I'm just like. Furnishing will run you up another 100 grand. He's like this. I'm fucking rough. Fuck that shit. I took my time. You guys saw me. I put shit a little bit a little bit. I make money. I spend my money. I make money. I spend money. That's what I'm thinking. I'm like, brother, how are you guys going to? How are you OK buying this shit that you're not actually paying for yet? Yeah. You want to spend with out touching your savings. Exactly. It should always be going up. Yeah. I think that's the best thing. No matter what you buy, put money in your savings and then you should be able to buy with it left. Yeah. Yeah. It is. Yeah. I mean, I've been going down the rabbit hole making-- I don't know. But it feels weird. Can you keep Google it? It feels like-- Why would you save money? Everything. Have you chapped GBT? Well, give me an example. OK. OK. So what is the max-- What is the meaning of debt? Yeah. What is the max amount your mortgage should be to ensure financial stability? Isn't it like you should be able to afford six months of paying mortgage? That's six months. And that's an emergency fund. It's called an emergency fund. So you should already have three to six months emergency fund, at least, bare minimum. That is like the standard. And everything, in my opinion, with the standard, I think they're all stupid. No. I think it's not enough. I don't think so, bro. No. I think six months in enough. I made sure I had almost two years saved before. That's crazy. I'll go 10 years. But yeah, it should be a fuck. I do not want to have to wear six months. Yeah, it's not enough. You ripped through that shit. I mean, any fucking COVID number three happens again, you know what I mean? Bro, exactly. So anyway, China's just put out a new virus. Oh, they're putting it out. Like, it's a fucking-- It's a new drop. It's a new fucking Adidas shoe or something. Did you see that? The new virus that's taking over the hospital. I didn't even swipe me, baby. I swiped the right pie out. Not against you. Nice try, China. Dude, when I was drones, they could sprinkle that shit on us and they wanted to-- Oh, brother. That's true, man. He's got no. We should get better AR soon. You could talk about that. I'm down on that. Yeah, it's good. Oh, where does that gun show tomorrow? Today, tomorrow, we should go to a gun show. I'm down tomorrow in Bastrop. Wait, wait. So real quick, what is your guess on the amount your housing expenses should be, like, proportionate to your income? What should that be? So how much, let's say, if I make-- What percentage? What percentage? What percentage should be allocated towards housing maximum? Only housing? Including bills? So, like, for electricity and so on like that? 25% of that. Do you consider buying the house itself? No, no, no. OK, so just maintain-- Actually, just a monthly payment. Mortgage and monthly payment. So 25% are actually really good. That's a really good number, actually. So that is-- You're going 25%? Yeah, what was yours? What's your guess? So it should not exceed one course. Like, is this pre-tax or post-tax for you? What's your guess? I think it's pre-tax. I think it's probably-- Well, I'm thinking of renting. So without tax, I'm guessing. Well, I'm sorry. Like, so 25% of your income, is that income you're talking about after tax or before we pay taxes? Oh, before I pay taxes? In theory, I guess it should be after taxes. OK, what's your say? 24. 24. OK, OK. So according to Dave Ramsey, right, and like, there's a bunch of different opinions of him, that's what he says. 25%. It should never exceed more than 25% of your take-home pay. It should be like mortgage and-- What's your say about renting? Prices don't do it. Yeah, I mean, you like-- Well, for sure, yeah. You actually have to, but it's like-- His is crazy, though, because he actually says-- He buys everything cash, right? If you can, and if you do buy a home, then his whole thing is try to get 20% down, which is fine. Like, we put 20% down, or got to put 20% down. But his thing is, it should be 25% of your take-home pay, and he only does 15-year mortgages. Why? I don't see the volume paying off your house so fast. That-- Well, I don't know. That's why I don't agree with him. But the 25%-- What's his reasoning? I'm like, OK, that's fine. That's a-- It's manageable. What's his reasoning for 15 years? Um, because according to his study with like 10,000 millionaires or whatever, the overwhelming majority of them have a paid-off home that's acquired, which increases their net worth pretty much. I see that, but I also see-- You're probably going to move within 10 years, about 10 years. Like, most people live in a bad house. I assume try to upgrade, you know? I don't know. Like, if you had a normal job, probably stay in the house indefinitely. But if you're in a career like us, you know what I mean? You're going to move. You can move. You can keep upgrading. Like, by the time I'm 35, I should have a fucking castle. Yes, yes, 100%. I mean, I-- That's why I don't agree with everything, but I'm like looking up these different things, like making sure-- So his is 25%, but only on a 15-year mortgage. But like-- Yeah, it's probably with 3% interest. Are we talking-- Right, that's what I'm saying, man. Oh, my God, damn. I'll do a 15-year at 3%. And then, um, what's another thing? But other people-- So like, but the standard, apparently, is 28% of your-- Your tax-- Of your gross income. So before tax, I'm like, "Brother, that's insane." That's a little scary. That's scary now. This is like a third of your fucking-- All your money going to whatever. Like, that's just-- Or just maintain-- Like, just mortgage and-- Just to have a house. So a mortgage will be like-- I don't think it's that insane. I don't think it's that insane. A third of your income? I mean, yeah, you're paying-- Again, like, you're paying yourself. You're bought something and you're paying it off. Yeah, ah, no, no, no. I think if you have-- It's going in your own pocket, man. The only thing you're paying is the interest. That is money that you're never going to see again. Yeah, but the thing is-- Okay, so that-- Right. If a third is going to just living, then it's like, you still have your other expenses in shit, and you have to be able to save for retirement, or just save in general, or-- What are the other expenses? Groceries, cars, rent-- So the actual-- The number, apparently, should be-- You should be able to live comfortably off of less than 50% of your-- Less than 50% of what-- Well, there you go. Yeah. Then you have another 10 or 15, so for saving. So 15 is minimum. These are all minimum numbers. 15 should be done for saving-- 15 to 20% should be done for saving/investing. And then the 30 can be done for, like, just desires, like, you know, discretionary spending. Like, that's what online's about. I don't even agree with that. Yeah. I'm trying to save-- Spend, have, save, have. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm like-- That's what I'm saying. I've been going down a rabbit hole. All right. Well, before I signed, yeah, I was like-- I was like, I got to make sure all this shit is okay. Yeah, I think if you're living expenses, like, car payment, mortgage, taxes, whatever, every month can be-- And food and stuff can be preferably less than 50% of your pay. And then you already have a year's worth of mortgage saved up and-- Or not even mortgage-- A year's worth of living, saving expenses. I think that's a great way to start. Yeah, yeah. You're just nonstop with these, huh? Just get you a fucking IV or something. Water, water. You gotta be more hydrated. Where's your bottle? I finished right here. I finished my thing. Don't worry. What are you fucking-- That's what he's making sure-- Where's yours? Where's your water losing? Not your water, but your water bottle. You guys aren't good with-- I drink three or four while I was here already. You guys aren't good with elves, really, right? Elves? Yeah. What a rule. What a rule. Oh, the what a rule. The age of the what a rule. A rule of remin. Hey, I put you guys on this. Oh, apparently Lulu Lemon-- Do you hear about this? Rule, rule, rule, rule. It was made by the Chinese to piss off the Japanese or something like that. 'Cause he thought it'd be funny that the Japanese could say-- They can't say it in rule, rule, rule. Whatever way, the other way around-- I forget what it is. I wonder if that's a myth. Like a tall tale. Probably, but it's so funny. Oh, wait, what is? Oh, what you said about Lulu? He's like, yeah, I think it's funny that they can't say the L. So then we make-- What do you think is a myth though? I think they both can't say the L. I feel like one of them can and one of them can't. Oh, it's-- I think you live in Rin. That's the whole thing. I'm not gonna figure this out right now. Well, Rin is Japanese. 'Cause he was-- He was in. But-- Nah, but to me, he sounds Chinese. But no, no, his name is Rin. No, it's Lin, but he can't say that. But the Japanese people can't say it, so they call him Rin. Okay, go home. On his name on the WhatsApp, it's with an R. Yeah, he just-- 'Cause he goes by it now. It's like Nikki Rod. It's not your real name. Fuck. What are you talking about? It's just whatever you call it. Yo, wait, what's your name? I don't like your shirt. Signal here. Can I see the back of your shirt? Oh, never mind. I thought I had the same shirt. I can't-- I don't know why I'm not getting-- Do you guys use Chad GPT? Yeah, sometimes. I use it more than Google. I use the images to-- The image thing wants to make a buff, baby concept. Oh, you use Chad GPT for that? Yeah. Or just some AI-- I got paid monthly for it, I don't even-- That's hilarious. I just can't get any signal. Oh, no way. Yeah, so anyways, you can move into my neighborhood, bro. Me? How much? Bro, they have some cheap starter homes. I'm looking cheap, bro. You can get a little under 400. I'm going-- Yeah, under fro-hondo. Fucking-- Hey, pick your side, brother. In the dirt? Ah, shit. Ah, fuck it. In the dirt. In the dirt? What do I go in between, huh? Me in the middle? There's trailer parks. Trailer homes in between. Perfect. I'll be way less than that. It's like 500 bucks a month. Gosh, fuck. You think-- I should have got to open that. You think trailer home-- Trailer parks. The theft rate has got to be pretty high. Right, right? Yeah, not very safe there, huh? Easy to break into. Yeah, not safe. Shit, I'm trying to open-- Nail your Amazon package. Not safe. No, nothing's good out there. But you know what, dammit, Tammy? Oh. Are your parents moving here? Yeah, eventually. What's the plan, you think? My dad just makes good money at his job, and he's got all those rental properties of Northeast. I think he's going to look too-- He should be able to sell the house that he's in now, and buy one of these homes cash, and then just kind of go from there. I don't know what he's going to do with the rental. He's going to retire. Yeah, he's not going to retire. Retire from his job, but do rental shit. Yeah, he's going to do flip houses or something like that out here. But he's debating if he's going to sell on his homes. I'm like, bro, you should just keep him and get a management company to do everything. You don't have to see anything. Yeah, why not? You give them a cut, you keep your net worth. I think management companies take max 10%, I think. Bro, I think that's the way to do it. Yeah, why not? Because you keep your net worth. He's worth a good amount. Yeah, yeah. You should fucking-- what did he say to that? I have to convince him more. I feel like that's the right decision. He has properties in Jersey. In Philadelphia, he has quite a few. So you're saying he should get an outsourced and management company to just run it for him? Yeah, yeah, because he's been doing everything himself for like 30 years. A lot of work, yeah. Yeah, it's too much. How many properties he has over-- I think it's like 11 or something like that. Bro, for sure. He's seven figures. He could probably add another more properties if he gets someone to match it for him. Yeah, he's less work for him and more money. Exactly. And I got money too, so now we can just pull it together. We don't have to get any loans. You can buy shit cash, flip it. Bro, you guys can offer cash deals to people and shit like that. That's sick. That's the move. That's the move. What else we got going on? Are you allowed to talk about your match or now? No, not yet. But I'll be competing this coming April. And we'll tell you guys the opponent in the next-- probably in the next podcast. Sick. It's a sick opponent. You guys definitely want to hear about it. You're fighting in March? Fighting in March 21st. You're going to get liposuction or something to make it. I might have to. More apple jacks. Hey, smash, that'll be all right. But I'm going to be so shredded again though. Yeah, you are going to be shredded. It's like a great time because I look so shredded, but it's unachievable. I'm not even unhappy. I'm not even unhappy. No, no, no. The happiness is about the process. Yes, yes. But yeah, so I'm fighting-- I don't have an opponent yet, but I'll be fighting in New Jersey probably for CFFC. And probably the last one before we go to UFC or-- Do you love fighting? Do I love fighting? I think that's an interesting question. I don't know if I love actually fighting. I love training and getting better. And then I like winning, beating other people at it. But do you like the actual competition of being in there a one-on-one cage door locked? Go. Do I like it? Do you love it? Do I love it? Actually, yeah, I do. I love it. It's so fucking-- It's so fun. Yeah. Yeah, no, I do. For me, I absolutely love Jiu-Jitsu. I love training it. I love competing. That's my favorite part. Yeah. It's a fucking sick feeling. Oh, gosh, aren't you? No, I'm just listening. Because if some fighters, they're terrified. They don't like it. They're just really good at it. And others just love it. They can't wait to get in the cage. Dude, I think-- I think between-- Yeah, I think there's like-- Because it is a scary feeling, but it's-- You need to deal with some potential risk of bodily danger. Do you think I do? I think-- One has to. I think people in general, like throughout their life, they have to encounter some kind of risk of bodily danger to feel alive, to feed whatever you have inside of you. Like, for me, I like riding dirt bikes, mountain bikes, et cetera. And there's a certain amount of physical danger and risk that I'm accruiting when I'm riding, right? And I don't know, something about that. Like, they need to be absolutely laser focused or else. You're going to get hurt. I'm going to get fucked up, right? Yeah, you have to be dialed in as repercussions. You come out the other side, like, ooh, I made it. Yeah, it's something about that that kind of calms your-- almost eases your soul a little bit, you know? I don't know. It takes you-- All those other things you're thinking about throughout the day, get like washed away. And you're just like, you have no choice but to be focused on this. And I think some people that don't ever experience the potential danger, they haven't really lived somewhere. There's some truth to that, I think. Like, they don't know-- I feel like they're just kind of buzzing through life. You're so safe. Yeah, yeah, there's no-- You have to get out of your comfort zone. You don't know. You don't know. It forces you to be hyper-present, like everyone talks about, like, be in the moment. Or else there's-- Yeah, and you don't want that. So you're going to be hyper-- I feel that when I'm training, when I'm going in like a fucking crazy round and it's back and forth and you're like in the flow state, you're just like-- The only thing that matters is-- That's the best thing about having a really difficult round. Yeah, at first, like when you're sending it down, down a mountain on a bike, it's like you just have to be completely locked in. You're focusing on what you're doing right now. That's a fucking-- It's impossible to think about, like, taxes. Yeah, I don't know. No, I'm not-- Some other stressful shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, fighting is so sick. It's so crazy. And also with fighting now that I'm just really thinking about it, it's so fast with the danger and it's like-- I don't know, I'm just reiterating the same net that everybody was saying, but it's like-- Well, you're just skating out of the way. You're having a punch whizzed by you. Yeah. You're like it inch forward. That could have been it. But you're so accurate, you're so locked in. You know exactly where you're supposed to be. Oh, dude, yeah, it's sick. I love it for sure. So you're going to have a good question. That's a good question. I remember I sparred a little bit and this was like literally my first week of Jiu Jitsu. When? When? Just when I started Jiu Jitsu. No, sparred like MMA, yeah. MMA class. Yeah, like I did it like two or three, right? And I had this-- that instructor was like a bigger black guy. And he-- I was taping him really hard, but I'm tall. You're taping him? Yeah, he-- or we're the same way, but he's like-- He's stubby and I'm tall, so I just keep them over and over and over again, right? Like just hitting the same button on me. Just grabbing it. And he got close and he whizzed a hook by me. And it just like-- it barely touched me. And I was like, man, that would have fucked you up if it hit. And just recognizing that. I was like, oh, you know. Yeah, dude, it's very easy. It's spicy meat. It's sick. It's sick, man. Oh, I can't wait to get back in the fucking cage. It's been a while now. It's been since November. You're going to get your whole crew watching you in Jersey, right? It's going to be an insane event. Yeah, we're going to get like 400 or 500 people there. Holy shit, it'll be March 20th. Do you know all those people? They know me. No, no, I know a lot of people, bro. I know. It's so so beautiful. I'm thinking a lot of friends. I have a lot of friends. I have a lot of friends. But it's also like family, friends, friends of friends. And then also just the fan friends. Friends, uncles, friends. Goddamn. They're dogs. They're dogs, friends. The dogs, friends, friends, owners. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be an experience. But I don't know if you can come, huh? We don't know yet. It seems like I'll be competing in pretty close. That's the thing. It's like you got to make sure that you're fucking-- Yeah. You're locked in. Dude, push it back. Dude, sooner. They offered it for February 1, but it just didn't work out. It's too soon. Yeah, it's too soon for the cut. For the weight cut, for Elton can't make it either. For the February 30th. It's not mine. How many days on February? 31? 28. Flock it. Is it 28? Is that just over here? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, so March 21. Maybe I'll see if Nicki can come out. Yeah, just FaceTime me. Yeah, tell me what to say. I would do that. Or Nicki. I wouldn't mind Jackson cornering as well, along with Elton. The thing is, I like that Jackson's really good everywhere, but I do like the idea of having Elton purely striking-- the normal division. Like if it's like-- A striker and a grappler? A striker and a grappler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But-- Oh. This has probably going to be a grappler, because he's from Jersey. He's probably going to be more of a grappler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have a lot of wrestlers out there. Yeah. Yeah, so I'll fight one of the wrestlers. But-- He's going to get fucked up. Probably fucking-- Yeah. I want to knock out, man. I really do, but-- It'll come. They-- I feel like a lot of the best strikers say. The hardest-- the punch that puts him out is not even the hardest punch. It's just the most accurate one. Yeah, yeah. The one they don't see come out with. There's a guy like Spencer Crawford, right? He was a boxer. He's a boxer. He was saying like, the punches that I try to knock him out with never actually end up knocking them out. And then when I get the knock out, in their mind, they're like, oh, that was the one? Like, it's like-- Oh, yeah. They're just like-- Crawford's from Philly, right? But I got from Philly. I think so. Yeah, yeah. It's not Philly yet. He actually wrestled, too. I was just going to say, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's like a high score or something like that. Yeah, something like that. But he was also saying-- he was like, yeah, if you don't know wrestling, you're going to get fucked up, like in an actual fight. Like, even if you're a great boxer, if that other person knows wrestling, it's-- It's going to get to your back, too. Yeah, what does it matter if you know boxing? And I agree with that, though. But we're also biased. What else has been going on, boys? You're disgusting. Why do you have so much gas, huh? Raw milk. It has to be the reason. I get some gas drinks. When I start drinking raw milk, bro. How much raw milk are you drinking? It started yesterday. I started drinking yesterday. 100%. As soon as-- every time, as soon as I-- like, if I have raw milk that day, I will be-- isn't it just the protein fats? It's the casein protein? No, it's the bacteria. Oh, that's what it is? It's for sure, for sure. So that's good bacteria. It is good bacteria, yeah. The raw milk farts are very unique. Doesn't it boost your immune system, too? Doesn't it smell bad, right? It smells terrible. Oh, brother, why? This smells fine. Oh, shit. Don't fight it. You're fucking arrogant. Just embrace it. He came back two-fold. I was like, please, I can-- [LAUGHS] You're like, in the air curds. No, yeah, it's-- No, yeah. It's good for your gut, I think. It's like a probiotic, you know? Yeah, I think it's also good for allergies, because they say with the breast milk, if you save breast milk, your baby gets like a-- like, gets allergies or gets a little sick. You give him old breast milk, and it boosts his immune system. Old breast milk? Old or, you know, like frozen-- Breast frozen, you unfreeze it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think that's only for, like, babies. I don't know if that-- the same applies for adults. I don't know, though. OK, but you just think this. I guess. I'm just thinking this. OK, so most of what I say is just thoughts. Here's my argument. Bees are in nature. They make their honey from pollen that's also in nature. Yeah, I'm with you. Cows eat nature, which grasses-- Bees are nature-- Sorry, go on. And they make a nature product in which we eat, which is the honey. Cows eat nature, make it nature a natural nature product, in which we drink. Yes. Which should boost our immunity to nature. If you guys could live forever-- I agree. Would you guys live forever? Two was four, brother. OK, if you could live forever-- I'm with you. If you could live forever, would you live forever? Yeah. It's kind of sad. See, everyone else died. But then you could just keep making more friends. I feel like I wouldn't even really, like, make-- I would just kind of, like, see as much as I could. I would just go, like, when all of my-- everyone I know dies, I'm not going to, like, make new friends. But the thing is, it's not-- I'm just going to, like, go on my own. No, you would. Because let's say you're frozen at 25, 35, whatever. Sure. And then you see these kids grow up, and you're like, all right, now we're a similar age. I don't-- But the thing is, I'm going to have the wisdom of, like, 150-year-old-- Yeah, but you just keep having kids. I think that's how you have fun. Just because you're older doesn't necessarily mean wise. Oh, I feel like it does. Like, if you're-- It should. But I still think there's a lot of old people that are dumb. That's dumb at Menchia. So, well, you're saying, like, would you live forever? You're saying that you're healthy? You're not, like, you know-- Yeah, but you wouldn't be friends with other people because you'd be so far ahead intellectually. No, I just wouldn't be, like, constantly-- I mean, yeah, you'd end up-- You would be so old, like, you would know the kind of person that they are, as soon as you met them. You'd probably-- This is, like, J.V. Y'all know it from '19. Exactly. Oh, this guy's, like, fucking-- Yeah. Yeah, whatever, from wherever-- I do think everything probably gets old. I heard somebody say that-- Wait, what gets old? Everything gets old. Oh, everything gets old. I heard somebody say this about Joe Rogan, I think. They ask him, like, yo, like, you're so wealthy and you've done everything. You just get bored of everything? He's like, yeah, you get used and bored to everything, except for some good-ass food. Good-ass food always hits. There you go. That's what he said? Bro, there's no way. I'd be-- When you're hungry. When you're hungry. When you're hungry. You can do. Yeah, the other thing, too. Getting so good at motocross. And then getting so good at everything. And then you have-- Don't care about getting hurt, because you just get recovered. Bro, is that the deal? Is that the deal? I guess it is now. Okay. This is in the closet. Bro, I would do-- I'd win Supercross. Bro. I'd win. I'd go NFL for a year. You would compete in NFL. You would compete in everything. Everything, bro. I would do it in-- Oh, I would F1. I mean, you'd win F1 hard. I'd be the most famous person in history. Like by far. F1, my head-- You'll be like the Dos Equis, man. You'll be the most interesting man in the world. Dude, I would, bro. I would do it all. I would worship you. You'd be a god, too. I guess you'd literally be a god, right? You would, for sure. I'd do like what the fuck this guy doesn't age. This is like-- Dude, I would-- For more? For more? Do F1. I would do-- I'd be progesky. Everything. It'd just be a matter of time before-- Honestly, you'd try to compete in all sports. Sports are really where it's at, I guess. Dude, all the successful people wish they were athletes. That's the-- Yeah. Everything that we're saying, no one's like, oh, I would be the best investment banker. Dude. I would. [LAUGHTER] You probably are. We don't know. People proud, yeah. If I just gave it a shot, it's one of the best. Dude, I bet even Elon probably wishes like, fuck, I wish I was driving F1 or some shit like that. You know what I mean? Elon and Musk go back and like, I would-- They want-- They'd musk. They'd musk. Sorry, Elon and-- It's-- They're like, I'll fight. They're like, I'll fight. Yeah, let's fight. That's what they're doing. Everything's right. Yeah, that's so funny. What would you rather be? I think we might have said this, but F1 champ or UFC champ? UFC champ. UFC champ, yeah. Dude, every F1 champ probably sees UFC champ. They're like, damn, that's cool. I don't think UFC champ sees an F1 champ, and they're like, I want to be that like-- I think so. You think so? There's a piece of me that-- That's what I would do. I would be F1 champ multiple times, like Mr. Hamilton, but I trained Jitsu. And maybe I trained MMA, too, just to have fun and know how to fight. This is if you're the immortal person. Guys, we have to go to K1 speed, bro. It's so much fun. Let's go. Yeah. Patreon. Yeah, they're fast, actually. Oh, shit. We have to question on Patreon. Yeah, too. Should we-- Yeah, OK, answer a question on Patreon. OK. Let's go this week. Let's go this week. We have to make Monday for the Patreon. Jim, what do you do on Monday? Oh, I don't know if I can do Monday. Why? Because I'm going to pop into the night class. Is that starting this week? Yeah, I'm going to do Monday. You maybe do Fridays. Deal. Every Monday for Friday. Just pop in. Yeah. I'm going to pop in, like, 645-ish. Save us up to the white boats. And then, you know, teach a little bit. Like, assist? I thought, assist. I'm just going to assist, assist each. Whenever you guys want, I'll throw a question. Yeah. OK, yeah, let's go for it. OK. Joel Brenner says, do you guys do any stretching? Do you have a stretching routine or something? No, nothing. I don't stretch. I stretch probably twice a week. But I get warm. Like, I like to do it after practice. Or once I get sweating a little bit, pre-warm up, stretch a little bit. Yeah. You don't stretch as rich. Flexible is a Corbin. Yeah. Corbin, yeah. He actively works on it. Yeah, yeah. You can do splits and shit. He's my waist. That's a big boy to be doing splits. Yeah, I used to do it more, like, routinely. But I would stretch after pretty much every lifting session. Like, I would get a lifting. Oh, how can you stop that? I just fucking-- since, like, the day we started lifting, I just stopped. I'm like, really? Look at that. Your fault. But yeah, just like, I would do-- I feel like, for me, the best thing to stretch have been my quads. It's like when I feel the healthiest when I, like-- Really? Yeah, just stretch for me. It's probably on the bottom of the wall. The quads on the wall are just even standing and pulling my ankle to my ass and getting into it. That's the-- It loosens like everything. And my whole body feels better after really stretching the fuck out of my quads. We should probably, like, spend more time recovery, like the thermal, what's the red light, red light-- What is that? I don't know. Go and make a swab eye. He was like, red light derri, therapy, do the cryo. I like the contrast. I don't think-- What's contrast? Contrast therapy, like, hot and cold. Oh, that's the red light and the cryo. Yeah, that's exactly-- Oh, red light, that gets hot. It's like a sauna. Red light sauna, infrared sauna, infrared sauna, yeah. Oh, so the red lights don't really matter, it's just-- No, that's a different-- So there's heat, that's one thing. But also, red light therapy is supposed to be good for your cells in some fucking way. I don't know. You might of conjurea or some shit. I don't know. You don't believe this. You don't believe that? You don't believe in any shit like that. No, dude, he is a grounder now. Crowding. Oh, my god, dude. Are you a grounder now? I mean, I don't really do it, but I-- You got to do it. It works. It's real. They did so much of it in the grass. Brother, we've been doing it. Wound healing. Wound healing? Bro. Your knee, it just-- oh, yeah, there's such-- Are you having a good ground in yourself? Oh, that's why. Maybe. [LAUGHTER] Fuck, what is the last time you touched the earth? I'll go touch it now, that's why. Only spike ball, then you were healthy. You were on top of the world. It does reduce inflammation, it says it's proven. Bro, it-- Oh, heals wounds. Like, I don't know that. I scab on an ankle, it was like they tested it in like some old guy's foot. Anyway, it's fucking real. I'm a big-- I'm a big mumbo jumbo, where I think-- I hear something. You think it's mumbo jumbo? Right away, I'm like, no, bullshit, anything. Dr. Mike, too, he was like grounding. No, I stole a bien, let me go. No, I stole a bien. So it's not good? No, he's like-- I mean, in here, he was like-- Oh, Dr. Mike? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dr. Mike. That's what he said, he said it's not good. Well, not good, he didn't say not good, but he was like, it's kind of, he was like, if you wear shoes and you're walking around, like the earth magnetic field should be able to penetrate the shoes into your body. It's your-- It's the charge. It's the charge of your body, yeah, like-- Yeah, I don't think it's magnetic. Well, it's like, electromagnetism, but like-- Don't quote me, but you guys should go back and listen to our Dr. Mike podcast to understand exactly what he said, because I didn't say correct. Bro, but there's actual government studies on it, and apparently it's fucking real. Well, that reduces the credibility to me. I don't trust the government anymore. What? They did it. I tried stuff. What bad do they have, like, what is it? A smear cabinet like big ground doing so much, so much shady shit, I don't believe it. Wait, hold on. Bro, I'm watching this show "Lioness." This is fantastic show on Paramount, right? OK. OK, so it's about spies. So spies are going in to capture this terrorist. So they have this one lady, the "Lioness." She's embedded, right? So she goes in, she's going to this royal wedding, and at the royal wedding, it's supposed to be the bride's dad, which is an oil guy, but also like a worldwide terrorist, right? He kills thousands of people, hundreds, whatever. But he has tons of oil. So he's on "America's Most Wanted," and they're like, they're going in, going to go kill him. And before they kill him, they have a meeting at the White House, and they're like, listen, don't kill this guy. They're like, why? He's a terrorist. You put him on the list so we could kill him. They're like, oh, if you kill him, the price of oil is going to skyrocket. And they're like, you know how many people he's killed? And the government's like, yeah, we don't care. The price of oil is going to skyrocket or fuck our lives up. And I was like, wow, they killed him anyway? But I was like, wow, things are for profit. That'd be wild if that was in any way true. I bet there's shit like that for sure, man. There's like, packed with countries and territories for trading routes and all that shit. And I don't know. I actually don't know anything about it. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I'm right. Nice. I hope I'm right. I got another question, you guys down? Yes. Is that was the next one, the one about Dr. Mike? From Bradley Palmer, for that deadlift is Mike having you hold the bar further away from the body or closer to your body the whole time. So I think when me and Mike did the deadlift, the workout at lift ATX, we're fucking OK. So I guess, well, how can I explain everything that happened? What's the question? The question is when we-- so when me and Mike did the workout routine, right? We're doing some fucking lat rays. At the end, the final workout was deficit deadlifts. So he had me stand on a platform, take a bit of a raised platform, and take a super wide grip on the bar with straps. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm going to try. All right, please, please. At least put them back there. I got to go first. I got to go soon. Come on. So he had us do this fucking-- he has me do this deficit deadlift. Pretty high rep range, like pretty much to failure every time, like above 15. Wow. Not a crazy high weight, but definitely moderate. I think like two plates, something like that, and-- 225. 225, yeah. 225 at that deficit, like over 15. Was it deficit deadlift? So what's the question? The question is, did he have-- for the deadlift, is Mike having you hold the bar further away from the body or close to your body? No, it's just a regular deadlift. I guess to answer the question, but yeah. How much of a deficit were you guys in? So like a regular deadlift bar, maybe you'll start like it's like halfway up your shin, but for the deficit, it's like at your foot. At your foot. So yeah, it's just like a-- So you're still standing on two plates or something like that? I'm standing on like a-- it was like a wooden platform. Maybe the equivalent of yeah, two plates. And yeah, it's just fucking way harder. My whole back was blown out. I got to get out of here. All right, you guys want to keep going or should we call on? [INTERPOSING VOICES] All right, you guys keep going. You guys keep going. Just make sure you shout out a bunch of shit. All right, show that with us. Let's do the shout out now. Yeah, this is about an hour. It's good. Oh, you guys are going to stop here, bro? [LAUGHTER] We're not decision makers. Yeah, fuck it. Yeah, let's shut them out. We're good. You're going to call it there. Is it-- no? I don't know. All right, guys. Thanks for watching The Simple Man podcast. Guys, I'm sorry. I got to go eat. It's my birthday. So go and have-- You're going out with somebody special? Fiancé. And just you guys? Yeah. Unless you guys are cubbing. Are we invited? No, no, I think it's a good reservation. I don't really know. OK, guys, thanks for watching The Simple Man podcast. If you guys watch to the end, leave a steak emoji. Because I'm about to go eat some good steak. Nice. Smash in energy. Thank you for the energy. Thank you for the caffeine. And the caffeine and the-- Make sure-- if you guys enjoy caffeine or drink energy drinks, give this a try. It's honestly the best energy drink I've ever had. Happy birthday, David. Happy birthday. Thank you, thank you. When's the last time you had a job? None of us have jobs. We love you a lot when we're younger. Whoa. Oh, no, I was 20. OK, 20 years old. Five years, seven, eight years ago. Wow, holy shit. Wait, why, though? Eight years ago. Well, I were in high school how long ago? 10 years ago. 10 years ago. Yeah, dude, I was-- Yeah, I graduated. 14. Oh, what? 10 years. That's crazy. 14. You stopped going to school at 14? No, no, 20, 14. Oh, in 2014. Got out, yeah. Yeah, I was 17. I was 17. That's insane too. At that age, not that year, but that age, yeah. Are you going to go back to your high school reunion? We just talked about this. Maybe the 20 year. I don't know about the 10 year. Only like 70 people were in my class. I'm like, nobody's going to go. Well, also, the thing is it's on social media. And I still am connected to all of them on social media. So it's like, oh, you can't wait. You don't know. Like, what's up with the kids? I do. But that's for the world. And they all know it's the thing, like, everyone-- they're still social media, you know, so I don't know. I think it's different. Why is it it's better if, like, you've not been in-- Yeah, because then it's like, oh, it's a reunion. Surprise. What have you been up to? Everyone gets a C. But there's no real reunion because everyone follows each other. So everyone knows what everyone's up to anyway. I've not. Bought some dirt, you know? Bought some dirt. I will never financially recover from this. Yeah, that's funny. Actually, my mom got mad at that. Is that a reference? No, it was the joke from the house, because I put the thing in there. I bought some dirt, yeah, yeah. Yeah, my mom's big on no-- Yeah, you're kind of the same way with, like, you know, no negative anything, but only positive. Why is it negative? I bought some dirt. Well, no, because I said I bought some dirt. But the last slide was like, I will never financially recover. And she's like, why would you even do that? That's like, that's just putting negative emotions out there. She's right. Yeah, I was like, fuck, you're not wrong. Delete it. You're not wrong. I thought it was hilarious. You've been praying? I have, actually. I have. Do you want to know something funny? Yeah, do you tell me, then I'll come to you. Oh, I can't tell. You got to go. All right, OK, OK. I asked for wisdom, and then I was like, I know that you can't give me wisdom, but you will give me opportunities to be wise. And he is like, don't touch your cat anymore. [LAUGHTER] Oh, yeah, so guys, oh, yeah, it went away. Yeah, yeah, it'll happen again in a couple months. So my fiance has a cat, or we have a cat now. And I'm very, very allergic to cats. But my body actually adjusted to where I don't sneeze and shit around it anymore. I used to, but I'm fine now. However, if I pet the cat and touch my eyes or something, my eyes will water. And then every few months-- and it's like, I get fucked up every now and then-- every few months, a piece of hair will get stuck in my eye. And then if I don't catch it in time, it will blow up. Dude, look like I'm-- I have a fucking-- I'm allergic to it, it's an allergic reaction. So yeah, I came into the gym one time with a fucking blown up eye. Yeah, actually, yesterday. But it's fine, it goes away. Read the Bible. Oh, yeah, what were we going to say about-- What were we going to say about praying? You've been praying? Yeah, I go off and on. Whenever I get ready for comp, I get way more. You ramp it up. Yeah, but it's not about the consistency of the lifestyle. So when I'm not training for competition, I'm like, oh, I don't need to lift every day. I don't need to eat all the use of computes. I'll come home, we'll go out and do different stuff. A little less structure, yeah. But when I'm in camp for comp, it's much more structured. So that I remember the things, all the things I locked in. Take the creatine, pray, eat this food at this time. Everything's very structured, yeah. You know, I definitely messed up this entire podcast. Guys, you guys can help me, though. I'm going to try to stop cursing like Justin, is the name? Jacob. Jacob, yeah, Jacob, yeah. There's a WWE fighter that was training with us this week. And what are you talking about? He talked about the WWE guy. Yeah, yeah, but what do you mean cursing? So he's Christian is all really religious. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and then we were talking about something. I was like, I forget what I said. Oh, he was like, I still curse or something like that. He said that? Yeah, or Cussy called it. Yeah. And I have a really bad mouth. I think it's a nice thing all the time. Yeah, it's like, we curse all the time. But as a New Year's resolution and partially for God, I'm going to try to do my best to stop that. Yeah. And then also pray more. It was actually two New Year's resolutions. Try to curse less and try to pray more. Yeah. How join you? You will. OK, let's do it. Let's try. Yeah. Me too. We'll try. We've got to bring up the church. Should we get the last one out? No. It's after you. No, I don't need it. Wait, get the last one out. The last characters. Is that inward cursing? Yes. No. God damn it. I'm not doing it. Oh my god. This is saying-- I was going to say it. Say it. All right, guys, I got to go to-- Whoa! I didn't know last one. All right, 26, you'll get it. I didn't curse. You did. I didn't-- you put it in my head. That's your worst. You made me think of it didn't even say it. You blew both of me. I got to go to dinner. I'll catch you guys next week. Later. See you. in the next one. You You
