00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:57,400
so happy to be here in the US of A.

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,879
I listen, I went on a trip and mister Manhattan

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:11,120
planned a beautiful, wonderful, serene, romantic, wonderful trip in Italy

35
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:16,360
and it just went all wrong. Oh my god, it

36
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,479
went all wrong. Listen. It's the thought that's count that counts.

37
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:23,439
I'm so grateful that he even attempted to plan this trip,

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,280
but we fully got catfished by a luxury wellness retreat.

39
00:02:30,759 --> 00:02:37,560
What it's so funny, Mike, Listen. The pictures were so great.

40
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:38,520
We were so excited.

41
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: Did you come back with a timeshare of Italy? Yeah?

42
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,759
Speaker 1: No, I'm part owner of the Tuscan Hills. Yeah. No,

43
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:47,960
Tuscany can be a real nightmare if it's done the

44
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,479
wrong way. Let me tell you what. No, we got there,

45
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:55,120
and you know, we pulled up and it was an

46
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:58,800
old castle that was restored. And I walked into the

47
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,080
lobby and I always know, oh, if a hotel is

48
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,719
good by the lobby or not. And I was like,

49
00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,319
uh oh, but you know, I was keeping the faith.

50
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,960
And we had five days planned of massages and facials

51
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,360
and we were gonna turn our phones off and do

52
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:18,960
this whole thing. They had thermal baths and pools and

53
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:22,240
all you know online. It literally looked like it was

54
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,560
something you would see on Succession. It was so pristine

55
00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:29,800
and beautiful, and it said that the chefs were all

56
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,280
Michelin Star chefs, and and we got there and we

57
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:39,120
got into our room and our room was okay, And

58
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:43,599
then we went to our first massage and it was

59
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,879
the worst massage I've ever gotten. In my entire life.

60
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,319
Like it felt like someone blew up hospital gloves and

61
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,080
was just like white dunked them in oil and was

62
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:58,599
wiping them on my back like it just she had.

63
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,919
She was using no pressure, and I was like, go harder.

64
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,599
It was supposed to be a lymphatic dage, drainage massage.

65
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:06,199
It was supposed to be getting every you know, getting

66
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,680
all the swelling and inflammation and everything out of my face.

67
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,120
She barely touched me, Like there was a point where

68
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:13,680
I was like, is she blowing on me? Like what

69
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,319
is she doing right now? It was bad and I

70
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,319
got out of the massage. And here's the thing. The

71
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,560
whole trip was a gift, right, and when you're getting

72
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,399
when you're receiving a gift, you have to be grateful.

73
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,480
And I was just like, yeah, it was a good massage,

74
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,720
and mister Manhattan was glaring at me, and I was like,

75
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,519
oh no, what's wrong. He's like that was the worst

76
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:36,319
massage I've ever gotten in my entire life. And I

77
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,439
was like, oh, thank god, me too. It is really bad.

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,439
And I think the problem with that is that the

79
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,560
whole trip was supposed to be massages and facials, and

80
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,079
you know, all of these wellness treatments, and I'm like,

81
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,000
I can't imagine having to do that again, because when

82
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,279
you're getting a massage that you don't like, it is

83
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,720
a form of torture. And if they're not willing to

84
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:58,240
make any adjustments, you are just at their mercy sitting

85
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,480
there in a broom closet while an Italian woman tells

86
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,319
you that's enough pressure. You don't need more pressure, you know.

87
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:10,800
And then we're like, you know what, maybe the food'll

88
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,360
be great and it'll be fine. And we went and

89
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:17,560
we ordered a Greek salad and palmodaro and those are

90
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,720
two things that are almost impossible to fuck up. And

91
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:23,240
the pomodoro was atrocious, Like it literally I would have

92
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,839
been happier if someone gave me a cold can of

93
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,120
Chef boyardy and a fork, Like it was so bad.

94
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,519
And we just looked at each other and we're like,

95
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:36,920
oh no, oh no. And it was kind of like

96
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,480
that point where neither of us were willing to admit

97
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:42,839
defeat yet because we had we were so excited about

98
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,040
this trip and like, what kind of asshole can't enjoy

99
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,319
Tuscany at a wellness retreat, you know, Like, what kind

100
00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:53,360
of monster, am I that I can't like this? And

101
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:57,360
so you know, we made the fatal flaw of taking

102
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:00,199
a three and a half hour nap on day on

103
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,199
which I knew was going to completely fuck us up

104
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:06,079
and make us so jet lag for the whole trip.

105
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:08,319
And I've been to Europe enough to know that, like,

106
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,439
if you do that, you ruin your whole trip. But

107
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,079
we were so gassed, we were so tired, there was

108
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,720
nothing to do. The Wi Fi wasn't working, We couldn't

109
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,720
even watch TV. It just was kind of a mess.

110
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:21,399
So we took a nap. We woke up for dinner

111
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,720
pretty delirious and out of it. And we went to

112
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:30,800
dinner and I had risotto and it was it was horrible.

113
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,000
It was like little rocks with water on it. Like

114
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,759
the risotta was undercooked. It had the consistency of spit.

115
00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:37,839
It tasted like all of my enemies got into the

116
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,759
kitchen and spit in a bowl. And then I had

117
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:45,079
to eat it. And he had a beef ragu and

118
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,600
there was no sauce. It was just shredded beef and noodles.

119
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,879
And then he finally drank enough to be like, I

120
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,439
don't fucking live like this. He's like, what are we

121
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:59,519
in fucking poonta cop And I was like, oh thank god.

122
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,519
He was like, you know what if we go to

123
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,879
Milan a couple days early, And I was like, what

124
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,160
if we go to Milan tomorrow? Like, let's get this

125
00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,800
isn't gonna get better. When you were in a vacation

126
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:13,000
and it starts off bad, or you're at a hotel

127
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,519
and the amenities aren't great and the food's not good

128
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,439
and the services are bad, they don't get better on

129
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,000
day two. They don't get better because you yell at them.

130
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,600
It just creates an environment where everyone at the hotel

131
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:26,040
is scared of you and no one's enjoying anything. So

132
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,199
we you know, we pitched a little bit of a fit.

133
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,000
They took us on this tour. It was like this

134
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:35,879
impossibly long tour of the property and they wanted to

135
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:38,879
show us all the thermal spas, and the thermal spas

136
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,759
were filled with Russians and I just was like, what

137
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:43,920
is this? Are we bobbing for Babushka's here? Like what

138
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,279
is happening? And no shade to Russians at all? But

139
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:49,959
if you're there, I don't want to be there. There's

140
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,800
shades to Russians at all, but wherever they vacation, I

141
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,639
don't want to be no, that is that's rude and

142
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,639
a horrible thing to say. But I just it was,

143
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,639
I don't know it. We got catfished, you know. He

144
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,759
was like, this was a diamond hotel, and I was like,

145
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,319
in what year, you know, and he was like, well,

146
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,040
I guess two thousand and nine. I'm like, yeah, that

147
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,519
was sixteen years ago. Two thousand and nine was a

148
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,519
global recession. Of course, this was a diamond hotel during

149
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:17,120
a global recession. Like, I don't know, sixteen years ago

150
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:21,279
was so long ago, you know. It was like that's

151
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,079
like when Sully landed in the Hudson, and which, by

152
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,959
the way, would have been more relaxing landing in the

153
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,399
Hudson with Captain Sully than being in Tuscany. Like, I

154
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,879
just it was. It was tough. So we pitched a

155
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:37,759
fit and we're like, we're just gonna go to Milan.

156
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,039
We had a rental car, but poor mister Manhattan he

157
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,399
was so jetlagged and fucked up. We went to bed.

158
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,519
He couldn't sleep. He woke up at one am. He

159
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,000
was up since one am. I woke up at one

160
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:50,480
am also, but then I took his annex to go

161
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:53,080
back to sleep. So the next morning he's just wrecked,

162
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:57,200
like so tired, so crabby, rightfully, so that this thing

163
00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:59,200
that he had spent so much time planning just to

164
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,559
go the way he wanted it to go, and you

165
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,600
know it was. It was a really rough start to

166
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:08,840
the trip. And so I then drove five hours north

167
00:09:08,879 --> 00:09:12,519
to Milan, and I was going so fast on what's

168
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:16,000
a like a kilometers? It was like eighty kilometers. This

169
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:17,440
is what you're supposed to I was going one hundred

170
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,000
and forty. What's a kilometer? It's none of my business,

171
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:22,720
that's what a fucking kilometer is. I was flying to

172
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:24,639
Milan and he was just sleeping.

173
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,759
Speaker 2: You're going like seventy Is that.

174
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: One hundred and forty kilometers? Is seventy miles an hour

175
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,360
something like that? Yeah, which I don't think that's true

176
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,799
because a five k is three miles, So if you're

177
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:37,279
going one hundred and forty, I think I was going

178
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,440
at least one hundred and ten. And do it, do it?

179
00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: Figure out how many miles an hour is one hundred

180
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,919
and forty kilometers per hour?

181
00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:51,279
Speaker 2: Eighty six eighty six.

182
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: That's all I was going. God damn, it felt faster

183
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,480
I was. I felt like I was flying like a

184
00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:56,240
bat out of hell.

185
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: I was like, you're going four or five late to lax.

186
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So anyway, I wasn't going that fast,

187
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:04,519
but it felt like I was because I was really blessing.

188
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,879
Speaker 2: Around as European pussies.

189
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,879
Speaker 1: Pussies, So yeah, I flew out of Tuscany. And listen,

190
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:13,399
Tuscany is beautiful, I'm sure in the summertime. You know,

191
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,159
here's the thing with Italy. It needs sunshine, you know,

192
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:23,000
because all of the old infrastructure is probably beautiful when

193
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,600
it's sunny, but when it's cold and rainy, it just

194
00:10:25,639 --> 00:10:28,039
looks like a crumbling dump. And I know that this

195
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,320
is not this is not a popular opinion, and nobody's

196
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,480
gonna agree with me, and everyone probably thinks I'm a

197
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:38,360
fucking brat, and I know that this is not This

198
00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:40,759
is not how anyone wants to hear me talk about Italy.

199
00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:42,559
But I just think central Europe in the middle of

200
00:10:42,639 --> 00:10:44,600
winter is not the place for any of us. So

201
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,360
I'm just trying to do you all a favor and

202
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,480
keep you from making the same mistakes that we made.

203
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:51,840
So we get to Milan, and Milan's you know, Milan's Milan.

204
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:53,759
It's a city. They try and lump it in there

205
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:57,240
with London and Paris, and they shouldn't. Whoever they is

206
00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:00,440
that's lumping that in there, they shouldn't do it because

207
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,519
it was a pretty gray, tragic city. And you know,

208
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:07,039
the other thing was we just weren't finding great food,

209
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,759
which I think is our fault. We didn't do research. Obviously,

210
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:11,840
that's our fault. It's Italy. There's some of the best

211
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,320
food in the world there. We went to a beautiful

212
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,440
dinner outside of the Duomo, which is this you know

213
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,600
church that's in the middle. You know, you can go

214
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:22,759
see the Duomo and then you can leave Milan. That's

215
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:25,159
you need a day in Milan. But we had the

216
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,960
rest of our trip. And like keep in mind, this

217
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
trip was supposed to be five days in the you know,

218
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,080
Tuscany in the countryside and then five days in Milan.

219
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:33,679
Like that was supposed to be the split on it.

220
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,519
It wasn't supposed to be one day in the Tuscan

221
00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:39,360
countryside and then you know, nine days in Milan. So

222
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:42,120
we get to Milan and we are just battling the

223
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:46,360
gnarliest jet lag, like we are not, okay, I And

224
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,360
here's the thing. I think trips that go wrong are

225
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,600
better for couples early on, because it's like, yeah, we

226
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,080
can go on a trip and it can be magical

227
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,399
and we can kiki and like mister Manhattan, by the way,

228
00:11:57,399 --> 00:11:58,840
and I have done that already. Like we went to

229
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:00,799
Paris and it went perfectly. We didn't get jet leg

230
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,759
we had the best meals, we had a great hotel,

231
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,480
we had a wonderful time. Like that told me nothing

232
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,720
about him or his character this trip, this trip did

233
00:12:11,159 --> 00:12:12,919
Is he prepared for adversity?

234
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:13,159
Speaker 2: No?

235
00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:15,519
Speaker 1: Is he ready for anything to go wrong?

236
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: Ever?

237
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: Not really, No, he was you know, like I said,

238
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,600
that's my little Gemini, his.

239
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,039
Speaker 2: Little It's more than twenty seven that I'm familiar with.

240
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no, I know.

241
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,879
Speaker 2: What twenty seven looks like when I hire them at

242
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:28,399
the office.

243
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, No, not ready for adversity. But once

244
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,639
we got past the jet legs, so we watched The

245
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,960
Beast in Me, which is a show on Netflix, which

246
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,159
we we just binge watched that for three days in

247
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,960
Milan in the apartment, like we barely left. We went

248
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,559
out to get a little pizza. We went out for

249
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,039
a dinner here or there, but we barely left. And

250
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,720
it was just tough because it's like we could have

251
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:50,600
done this in my bed and not paid any money

252
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,480
to do it. You know.

253
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: So Branos is free on HBO Max.

254
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean you don't. And that's the other thing about Europe.

255
00:12:57,519 --> 00:13:00,960
You don't get HBO Max, and you don't get Hulu

256
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,480
and some of the shows that you get for free

257
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,799
here on Amazon Prime, you have to pay for it there.

258
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,879
Like we were trying to finish watching American Horror Story

259
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:09,639
and we couldn't because we had to pay for it there.

260
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,440
And I was like, what is this fucking dump of

261
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,399
a country, this prison of a country that I'm stuck in.

262
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,200
And here's the thing. Milan got bombed a lot during

263
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,840
the war because they were on the wrong side, obviously.

264
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,720
And when a city gets bombed a lot during the war.

265
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:27,919
The cities that I've seen Munich specifically, it's like they're

266
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,840
rebuilt really fasten with no character. So there's not like

267
00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:33,159
a ton of character in Milan. There's not a ton

268
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,879
of I mean there's a ton of history, but it

269
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,200
just wasn't like the most exciting place to be, so

270
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,399
we bounced. We ended up going to Florence for a

271
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,879
day and then tra la la Christmas come early. Mama

272
00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:47,559
got a fucking stye. I got a stye in my eye,

273
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,000
so my eyes welted shut. I'm dealing with the chaos

274
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,879
of traveling. When we were taking the train to Florence,

275
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,639
this is the trip did become at some point just

276
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,480
an example of Murphy's law, like if it could go wrong,

277
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,559
it would go wrong, and it was gonna go wrong.

278
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:07,639
We were going from Florence to Italy and our train

279
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,639
was delayed four hours because somebody committed suicide in front

280
00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:13,519
of a train. And I had never been more jealous

281
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,720
of a singular person in my life before. I was like, God,

282
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,320
that could have been me. If I would have just

283
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,879
if I would just, if I wouldn't have taken my

284
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000
legs apro this morning, that would have been me. But yeah, somebody,

285
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,320
you know, tragically took their life and also took our

286
00:14:27,399 --> 00:14:31,080
day away from us because we just got stuck on

287
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,080
a train, and I was so excited to go to Venice.

288
00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:36,480
I you know, not to say Venice Beach is even close,

289
00:14:36,559 --> 00:14:38,879
but Venice Beach is somewhere that I lived for ten years,

290
00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:41,080
and it's supposed to be a replica of Venice, Italy,

291
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,519
so I was so excited to see it. We get

292
00:14:42,559 --> 00:14:44,919
there late, the sun's going down, it starts raining. We

293
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,200
get on a boat ferry to our hotel. When we

294
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,639
were in Florence, mister Manhattan bought me this beautiful, beautiful

295
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,600
leather jacket. It's stunning. It's what's it called. It's not

296
00:14:56,679 --> 00:15:01,519
copenhangen leather. What's it called? Well, I can't think of

297
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:05,200
the word. It's a beautiful like carmelly leather. And I

298
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,240
know you guys are like screaming into your fucking cars

299
00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:10,799
right now, being like it's called blank and right when

300
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,759
I wrap this podcast, I'll remember what it's called. Anyway.

301
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,159
We go to this hotel called the Venice Venice. It

302
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,799
is created by it was designed and owned by the

303
00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:28,120
people who own Golden Goose, and it is just this stunning, stunning, gorgeous,

304
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:30,639
while curated hotel. We're so happy to be in a

305
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:32,559
five star hotel. I'm like, there are a few things

306
00:15:32,559 --> 00:15:35,639
that a five star hotel can't fix, like the all

307
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,480
the trauma of Milan and the jet leg and getting

308
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,360
catfished by Fonta Verde. All of that just kind of

309
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,480
washed away. When we get into this five star hotel.

310
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,679
I wear my new leather jacket for the first time.

311
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: We go.

312
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:50,039
Speaker 1: We sit down where there's maybe like ten people in

313
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,240
the restaurant. It's not really busy, and we're having like

314
00:15:53,279 --> 00:15:56,360
this great cheese plate and mister Manhattan's having wine, and

315
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:59,559
this bus boy, I think, comes over and there were

316
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,159
these flower arrangements right over my shoulder, sitting on a ledge,

317
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:05,360
and I had the thought. I had the thought, he's

318
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:07,480
gonna go to pull these and he's gonna spill it

319
00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:10,960
all over my fucking coat. And it fucking happened. And

320
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,279
at this point, I'm like, this trip has become the

321
00:16:13,399 --> 00:16:15,600
law of attraction. If you think it's gonna go wrong,

322
00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:17,559
it's gonna go wrong. If you think it's gonna go right,

323
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,840
it's gonna go right. But it went wrong, and the

324
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:27,200
dirty flower water soaked my brand new leather jacket and

325
00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:31,679
my cashmere sweater and my jeans, and I'm just soaked,

326
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,039
and mister Manhattan is dead behind my eyes, just drinking wine.

327
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,279
He's like, fucking of course that just happened. So the

328
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:40,440
hotel's like frantic. They're like, you know, we'll just like,

329
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,559
you know, we'll have our cleaning service. Well, we'll dry

330
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,879
your jacket, it'll be fine.

331
00:16:44,879 --> 00:16:45,159
Speaker 2: Whatever.

332
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: So I give the cleaning service my cashmere sweater and

333
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,720
my jacket and they returned my jacket and it's morphed.

334
00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:56,360
It's morphed from the water because it was so much

335
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,039
water and it's dirty.

336
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,559
Speaker 2: And how shrunk did that sweater come back?

337
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. It's cashmere. So Kashmir, you cannot

338
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:08,720
hang dry cashmere because it will stretch to the floor.

339
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,079
So when they gave me my cashmere sweater back, it

340
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,640
was a sweater dress. And I was like, what the

341
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,519
fuck is this? And I hate to be this person.

342
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:18,960
I hate to be the person that goes to the

343
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,119
hotel and it is like you just ruined like eight

344
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,559
hundred dollars worth of shit. But they're like, Okay, we

345
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,200
can send it to our insurance and then in four

346
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,240
to six months you can get one hundred percent of

347
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,480
the value back for these clothes. Or you can just

348
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:34,240
take the clothes and we'll give you half the value

349
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,119
of the clothes off the room. And I was like, okay,

350
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,920
just give me the clothes. Back whatever, But I just,

351
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,880
you know, it was just it just became it just

352
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,240
became a trip of Murphy's Lot. And then after, you know,

353
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,160
after when we were leaving Venice, our train from Venice

354
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,200
to Milan got canceled. We had to like rush to

355
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,799
get on another train that left, like you know, we

356
00:17:55,839 --> 00:17:57,440
had to we had to get out of Venice and

357
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:02,960
then get to the main train station and listen, you guys.

358
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:05,079
It was just tough. You know, when you vacation and

359
00:18:05,079 --> 00:18:07,640
then afterwards you're like, I need a vacation. Like I

360
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,599
came back and I just felt battered. I really just

361
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,240
felt battered. But I will say this, through it all,

362
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,839
we had really great sex, like really really great sex,

363
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,839
and I think, you know a few things came up

364
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,640
that like ultimately made us stronger. I do think when

365
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,799
shit hits the fan, like you really do get to

366
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,160
a crossroads in a relationship where you're like, Okay, how

367
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,960
are we going to deal with this? Like how are

368
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,319
we going to move forward from this? And like one

369
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,720
of my fatal flaws that came up and keeps coming

370
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:43,480
up and will never stop coming up is when things

371
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,799
go wrong, my fight or flight is always flight. Like

372
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,599
the second I could tell he was mad about the

373
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,839
trip not going the way he wanted it to go.

374
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,920
I was like, are we even a couple anymore? Like

375
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,079
are we even dating? Should I leave? Should I fly

376
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,279
back to Los Angeles?

377
00:18:57,319 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 2: Like?

378
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: Do you want me to leave? Because I don't want

379
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,920
to be in a situation where I'm making some like

380
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,960
my presence is making someone else uncomfortable, So I always

381
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,079
think the solution is to just leave. And he's very confrontational,

382
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:09,039
and he's like, no, we need to like talk this

383
00:19:09,079 --> 00:19:11,319
shit out. You can't just run away every time something

384
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,319
goes wrong. And I think ultimately it was a real

385
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:18,559
character building trip, not only for the relationship, but I

386
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:22,240
think for myself it's like continuing this relationship is continuing

387
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:26,160
to illuminate things in me that need attention. And I

388
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:28,440
hate it because honestly, I'm just like I've done all

389
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,359
this work out myself. I know better, and I still

390
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,519
can't act better. And you know, I think I just

391
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,559
get scared when like someone's mad or angry. I just

392
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:39,759
want to leave because it really reminds me of my

393
00:19:39,839 --> 00:19:44,440
mom and it feels unpredictable, and I get scared and

394
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,680
I revert back to feeling like a kid, and that's

395
00:19:46,759 --> 00:19:49,039
really just it's really a shame that, like at the

396
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:50,960
big old age of thirty six, that's how I'm still

397
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,920
dealing with things. But what's really great about mister Manhattan

398
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,519
is that he kind of just stares down the barrel

399
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:58,240
at me and he's like, no, we got to talk

400
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,079
this shit out, like you know, like I've never once

401
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,960
second guest you or this relationship. He's like the fact that,

402
00:20:04,039 --> 00:20:06,359
like things go slightly wrong for a few days and

403
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,480
you want to run away is not great. And I'm like,

404
00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:13,079
you're right, so I do think you know it was?

405
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,519
It was it was a trip. It was a trip.

406
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,279
The one thing I will say that Italy is doing

407
00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:25,079
better than us, the one and only thing because honestly, honestly,

408
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,440
fuck Italy. No, I'm just kidding that is that food

409
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,279
is the price it should be over there, Like a

410
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:34,519
cappuccino is two dollars and fifty euro not sense, but

411
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,759
like two fifty uh, groceries are normal prices, Like you

412
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:43,519
don't realize how like actually robbed we're getting at the

413
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:45,799
price we're paying just to stay alive in this country

414
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,960
until you go to another country that's doing it right.

415
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,559
Meals are not more than fifty sixty bucks. Like if

416
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:54,240
you drink wine, fine, whatever, it's a little more. But

417
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,720
like I ordered Taco Bell from Postmates when I got

418
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:02,920
home and it was fifty dollars, and I was like,

419
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,240
do you want to shit in my fucking mouth? Like

420
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:08,359
what are you telling me? Taco Bell is fifty dollars.

421
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,079
Speaker 2: You ate Taco Bell outside of the Taco Bell parking lot.

422
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:13,599
Whatever happened to you is your own fault, Like you

423
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,359
can't do that.

424
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,279
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. But I didn't have the time

425
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,559
or that I didn't have the emotional bandwidth. No, I

426
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:24,200
know Taco Bell should be DUI checkpoints, but I really

427
00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:30,720
just wanted what do I eat? The gordida, the chilopa,

428
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,039
beef chilupa suprema. I just re all I wanted. So

429
00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:37,079
I got to beef chilupa Supremes and mister Manhattan got

430
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:39,680
like a crunch wrap supreme and something else and it

431
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,319
was fifty dollars and I was like, hey, do you

432
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:43,319
want to knock me out cold when you deliver that,

433
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,920
because that's fucking crazy. That's a crazy price. Like in

434
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,200
Italy you get real food that's not poisonous shit and

435
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,519
it's a reasonable price. So that is a real crisis

436
00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:57,400
and we need to fix it, and someone get on

437
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,839
that job. Someone get on that.

438
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, as a fat guy, that had to do with

439
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,799
your delivery, because I know what the drive through cost

440
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:08,400
of things on.

441
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: No, I know, I'm sure it was, but also it's

442
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,920
like it's just ridiculous, like we just get robbed, but

443
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,079
it's still expensive. I went to a drive through recently

444
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,119
and it was way more than I remember it being.

445
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,440
Like when I was in college, I would get a

446
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,920
double from McDonald's, a double cheeseburger, a fish filet meal

447
00:22:24,559 --> 00:22:27,559
and they used to have like these cinnamon roll things,

448
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,839
oh and whatever Kenny was eating, which was a ton

449
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,000
of shit also and it was like fourteen bucks like things.

450
00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:37,400
Shit has changed, Shit has gone down in this country

451
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,039
that I do not approve of, and we need to

452
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:41,799
fix it. The price of fast food is fucking killing us.

453
00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:44,160
And like I think they did just release something recently

454
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,880
that are like families are opting to eat in more

455
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,599
than eating fast food, and I'm like, yeah, cause fast food. Yeah,

456
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,400
fast food used to be the option for low income

457
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,240
families that couldn't afford to make meals, and now now

458
00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:57,559
it's like nobody can afford anything. Like I don't know.

459
00:22:57,599 --> 00:22:59,720
I just saw something recently that like a family of

460
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:03,000
four is spending over one thousand dollars on groceries a month,

461
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:07,640
which feels unattainable, like unsustainable. I'm just like, how does

462
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,759
anyone I don't know. It just it's the food situation

463
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:14,880
in this country is a crisis. So somebody salt that

464
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,599
and call me anyway. I feel like I'm just getting

465
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:20,599
to the point where I realized, like, you know, people

466
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,880
are like these people with their VR headsets are sitting

467
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,119
on their couch and they're like, I can see Venice

468
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,079
from here. I'm like, yeah, I would do that. I

469
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:30,359
would much rather be on my couch looking at Venice,

470
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,839
Italy through a VR headset than having to like weather

471
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,960
the storm and go out in the rain and be

472
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:40,440
amongst people who don't speak my language. I don't speak

473
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,279
their language. I'm in their country. I don't know what

474
00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:45,680
the fuck's going on. I just think I just think

475
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,960
traveling has become really difficult for me. I think I

476
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,400
travel so much for work and nobody wants to fucking

477
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,519
hear this. I'm aware that this is not a take

478
00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:56,279
that anyone wants to hear. They're like, oh, boohoo, you

479
00:23:56,279 --> 00:23:58,039
went to Italy. You don't like get you fucking dumb

480
00:23:58,079 --> 00:24:01,200
hunt like grime A River. I understand that this is

481
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,640
not a hot take. I just think I'm getting to

482
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,200
the point in my life where I've seen enough. I've

483
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,680
seen enough of the world that I can't keep up

484
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,759
with the jet lag. It fucks me up both ways.

485
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:15,680
I it's too much of it's too much of a gamble.

486
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:18,119
And I really just am at the age now where

487
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,200
I like my routine. I like waking up in the

488
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,440
morning in my bed, having my candles, having my water,

489
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:27,359
having you know, just the things that you let slip

490
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,559
by the wayside when you travel you don't drink enough water,

491
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:32,119
you're dehydrated, you don't sleep as well as you would

492
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,240
at home. Like there's there's no sort of routine. And

493
00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:37,599
I really just love my routine. When I came home

494
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:38,960
and I was like, I get to sleep in my bed,

495
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,359
I get to wake up and eat my food. I

496
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,319
get to hang out with my dog, Like there is

497
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,559
nothing better than hanging out with this dog and just

498
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,759
cuddling him, even though he fucking hates it and just

499
00:24:46,799 --> 00:24:49,240
cuddling him so hard and watching something in my bed.

500
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,640
I'm just like, I'm tired. I'm sick and tired of

501
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,960
having to go out in the world, and I don't

502
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,839
want to do it anymore. That said, I'm sure Italy

503
00:24:58,839 --> 00:25:00,559
in the summer is great, and I just went at

504
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:04,839
the wrong time. But whoo we did I get my

505
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,119
ass kicked by that trip.

506
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: It's a nice one. Most of the time you travel,

507
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,759
you're getting paid, and now when you're traveling, you're not

508
00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:13,960
getting paid. So to get over that type.

509
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: Of thing, you are losing money. Yeah, I'm losing money

510
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,640
to be in this place that isn't really the return

511
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,240
on investment is not that high. And listen, Italy's a

512
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:25,039
weird place. You know. It was under the reign of

513
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,920
Mussolini for a long time. When I was at my

514
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,240
apartment in Milan, I looked up and there was swastikas

515
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,720
on the ceiling and they were part of the architectural design,

516
00:25:32,759 --> 00:25:34,279
and I was just like, what in the fuck? I

517
00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:36,640
don't want to be here, Get me out of this place.

518
00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:42,119
This feels creepy. And anyway, it's a communist dump, and

519
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,519
don't go. Just kidding.

520
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:49,799
Speaker 2: Unless anyone wants to pay her to go, she will.

521
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:51,319
Speaker 1: Be happy to do it right, and then I'll be back.

522
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,519
I'll be back in no time.

523
00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: Florence, Milan, Rome in the summer.

524
00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the summer. Here's the thing. I need the sunshine.

525
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,200
I think I just it wrong. I honestly think if

526
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:02,720
I would have gone to Rome, it would have been fine,

527
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,960
if I would have gone somewhere further south, like Tuscany.

528
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
We started off south and then we went too far north,

529
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,799
and then it was like a completely different climate. So anyway,

530
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,920
we fucked it up. It was it was nobody's fault

531
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,160
but our own. But anyway, I'm all that said. I'm

532
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,720
happy to be back here. I'm happy to be back

533
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,880
with Biggie and in my home and in my bed.

534
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,240
And you know, I got home yesterday and I called

535
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,759
my massuse and I had her come give me a massage.

536
00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:29,880
And none of this is relatable, but I really just

537
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:35,759
needed to be touched. And yeah, yeah, I really just

538
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:37,960
I really just needed to be touched. But then I

539
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,279
accidentally I was so gassy for my flight I farted

540
00:26:40,319 --> 00:26:45,759
on her. I know, I know, I just felt it.

541
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,200
I just felt it cooking my tummy was rumbling the

542
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,119
whole time, and then she really was getting in there

543
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,359
on my glute and I was like.

544
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 3: That.

545
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: She started laughing. She's like, honestly, I've been massaging you

546
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,960
for seven years, it's the first time. That's pretty impressive.

547
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,240
And I was like, I am so sorry, I am so,

548
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,599
so so sorry. Okay. So, while I was in Milan,

549
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,079
I picked up a book and I started reading a

550
00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:14,279
book called The Monk who Sold His Ferrari. Have you

551
00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:17,799
ever read this book, Mike, No, Okay. So it's about

552
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,359
a guy who is a really high powered lawyer and

553
00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:26,000
just basically burning the candles, burning the candle at both

554
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,759
ends and wearing himself out, and he had a cardiac

555
00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:30,799
event in the courtroom. He had to get taken out,

556
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,000
and he basically just revamped his whole life. He went

557
00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:36,319
to the Himalayas, he found these monks who told him

558
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,079
like the secret of life, and he came back and

559
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,440
he shared it with another lawyer that he used to

560
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,319
work with, and the other lawyer wrote this book and

561
00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:44,880
it's not the best book in the world. It's not

562
00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:48,359
super well written. There have been like six million copies sold,

563
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,440
so it's obviously the message is very profound. But in

564
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:56,240
terms of you know the right lawyers, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

565
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,559
So the message is is really profound. The book itself

566
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,960
is not. But there was a portion of the book

567
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,559
that I wanted to share with you guys that really

568
00:28:03,599 --> 00:28:07,880
resonated with me. And it says success on the outside

569
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,079
means nothing unless you also have success within. There's a

570
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,680
huge difference between There's a huge difference between well being

571
00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:17,359
and being well off. I have learned that self mastery

572
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,920
and the consistent care of one's mind, body, and soul

573
00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:23,400
are essential to finding one's highest self and living the

574
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,839
life of one's dreams. How can you care for others

575
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,319
if you cannot even care for yourself? How can you

576
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,400
do good if you don't feel good? I can't love

577
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,720
you if I cannot love myself. And this is something

578
00:28:36,319 --> 00:28:39,880
that first of all, it's not revolutionary or you know,

579
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:43,680
a breakthrough thought, but I think a lot of us

580
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,720
think we're gonna get this thing, and then we're gonna

581
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,799
be happy. And then you get the thing and you're

582
00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:51,559
not happy because the goalpost moves and you just want

583
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:54,119
something else, and it becomes this hamster wheel of life

584
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,119
where if you're not grateful for what you have now.

585
00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:02,240
More won't help. And I think that something about I

586
00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:04,920
consistently struggle with because in the career that I'm in,

587
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:07,440
I always want more. I want a Netflix special, I

588
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,160
want to make a movie, I want to make a

589
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,000
TV show, I want all this stuff. And I'm like,

590
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,640
when I get that, I'll be happy, and when I'm

591
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,960
working on this, I'll be happy. But it's like life

592
00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:17,839
is happening right now, like all we have is today,

593
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,160
All we have is this day. Tomorrow's not guaranteed. Three

594
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:23,599
hours from now is not guaranteed. You could go outside

595
00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:25,839
and get hit by a bus. So all I'm saying

596
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,240
is like, finding the happiness and the gratitude for your

597
00:29:29,279 --> 00:29:31,960
life right now and the things you have right now

598
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,079
is what we all really need to do. And I'm

599
00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:38,480
not trying to be preachy. I'm literally saying this out

600
00:29:38,519 --> 00:29:43,720
loud so I can remind myself that, like I don't know,

601
00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:46,119
it's great to have goals. We all need to have goals.

602
00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:48,240
We all need to be striving for something. I think

603
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:50,720
having a purpose in life is what gives us the

604
00:29:50,799 --> 00:29:52,720
energy to wake up in the morning. I think, you know,

605
00:29:52,759 --> 00:29:54,640
when I wake up and I know I'm doing this podcast,

606
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,680
I get excited because I feel like I have something

607
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,880
to live for, quite frankly. But so I'm not saying

608
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,000
don't have goals, and I'm not saying don't you know,

609
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,359
don't want things for yourself. But what I'm saying is

610
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,720
like just a little gentle reminder to be grateful for

611
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:11,559
what you have. Now. I am so grateful for my

612
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,720
life today. I really am, Like my health, my home,

613
00:30:16,119 --> 00:30:20,880
my partner, my family, just my dad, just my dad,

614
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,759
really my dad, my sister. Everyone else can kick rocks,

615
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,920
but like, no, I really, I really do have a

616
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,279
ton of gratitude, and I think sometimes it's easy to

617
00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:31,000
slip out of that. Like I just was telling you

618
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,319
guys about how I spent ten days in Italy and

619
00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:35,640
it felt like a prison camp. Like I was not

620
00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:37,880
in gratitude. I did not wake up and be like

621
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,240
what can I be grateful for today? I was living

622
00:30:40,359 --> 00:30:43,400
in a prison of my mind and like the chaos

623
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,920
I created, and that's one hundred percent my fault. Like

624
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,240
I could have enjoyed Italy, Like what kind of monster

625
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:51,960
can't enjoy Italy? So I'm not saying that I have

626
00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:56,119
a perfect practice, but it just was an interesting thing

627
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,960
to be reading while simultaneously not practicing it in Italy.

628
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,720
Oh my god, So I want to do Word of

629
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,160
the Week even though nobody wants it. I don't really care.

630
00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: We saw in the comments people wanted to bring Word

631
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,319
of the Week back. Really between everyone saying hello to me, Hi, everybody.

632
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,519
Speaker 1: Hi everyone. I know you guys were so excited Mike

633
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,799
is back. I'm so excited word of the Week is

634
00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:22,599
back and that Mic is back. But word of the

635
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,640
Week is really Oh, it's so special to me. I

636
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,200
want us all to just be vocabulary sluts, you know,

637
00:31:28,359 --> 00:31:30,440
like I want us to use words at parties like

638
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,200
pedantic and everyone be like, what the fuck did you

639
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:38,720
just say? Pedantic? Intellectually, showy, or overblown. A pedant is

640
00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:41,400
a person who makes a great display of knowledge. To

641
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,039
be pedanticed Wait, that's not the right to be.

642
00:31:44,079 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: To use that word in a crowd.

643
00:31:45,759 --> 00:31:47,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, is to use that word in a crowd that is,

644
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,839
Oh my god, let's all be pedantic as fuck, you guys.

645
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:55,079
To be pedantic is to act in this way pedantic pedantic. Wow.

646
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,400
It's one of those words that if you say it

647
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,000
too many times, you're like that's not a real word

648
00:31:58,039 --> 00:32:01,880
at all. Pedantic can also mean over concerned with formal rules.

649
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,200
I found Dreams's pedantic manner quite condescending. All Right, you guys,

650
00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:09,480
let's be the pedantic condescending fucks at party? Shall we

651
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,039
intellectually showy? Mike? Are you gonna be pedantic this week?

652
00:32:14,359 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: Always?

653
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: Always, Mike is always pedantic? Okay, you guys, that's our word.

654
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,319
Pedantic is the word of the week. The monk who

655
00:32:22,359 --> 00:32:22,960
sold is probaby.

656
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:23,079
Speaker 2: Oh.

657
00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: This is another thing that came up when I was

658
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,240
you know, I went down this little path of like,

659
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,319
I don't know, there's something that we all trick ourselves

660
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,240
into thinking that we're gonna get a thing and we're

661
00:32:33,279 --> 00:32:35,640
gonna be happy. And then, like I've already said this,

662
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,599
we get the thing and we're not happy. But Jim

663
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,920
Carrey said, I think everyone should get rich and famous

664
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,400
and do everything they ever dream so they can see

665
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,039
it's not the answer. And I have so many friends

666
00:32:46,119 --> 00:32:49,319
that have gotten everything that they want in life. They

667
00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:52,440
are so successful, they have top podcasts, they're in movies,

668
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,559
they have everything, and they're fucking miserable. So what I'm

669
00:32:57,599 --> 00:33:00,839
saying is the work is inner work. It's not outer work,

670
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,240
and I think we can do both. We can do both.

671
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:05,079
There can be a balance, but let's all focus on

672
00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:08,559
the insides and making sure we're right with ourselves. Meditate,

673
00:33:08,559 --> 00:33:11,200
if you can, pray, if you believe, do the things

674
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,000
that make you feel good, because life is short and

675
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:14,880
I really do want you guys all to feel good.

676
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,680
And with that, I think that's a perfect little segue

677
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,640
into our guests. Today, I am doing a quick little

678
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,319
health corner with one of my dear friends, Stasha Patwell.

679
00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:29,119
She is a personal trainer and comedian and she has

680
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,759
transformed my body, mind and soul over the years. And

681
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,920
I hope you can take some of the knowledge that

682
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,039
she gives us here today and make yourself slightly better

683
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:41,359
with it. With that, enjoy the episode. Okay, you guys.

684
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,200
I am so excited to share with you guys, like

685
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,799
once again about Berber hair oil, one of our sponsors

686
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:47,799
of this show. And I don't have my weave in

687
00:33:47,839 --> 00:33:50,440
this week, so you can see, well, listen, I don't

688
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,039
have all my hair. You can see that I still

689
00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:55,720
have four hairs. No, I do not have as much

690
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,559
hair as I used to have still, but it's growing

691
00:33:57,599 --> 00:34:00,000
and it's getting healthier and Berber hair oil has been

692
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:03,359
and honestly, it not only does it work, but I

693
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,039
really enjoy the ritual of it too. I do the

694
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:08,719
Derma plane on my scalp twice a week and then

695
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,039
you follow it with the hair oil put it back

696
00:34:11,039 --> 00:34:13,320
in a slickbackbun. You know Mama loves a slickback bun.

697
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,119
They have their Mermaid brushes which are unbelievable for a

698
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:20,119
slickback Mermaid hair brushes. They are made of bore bristles

699
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:24,760
and the oil is unbelievable. It helps strengthen and repair

700
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,440
damaged hair. You leave the hair treatment in once a

701
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,559
week overnight and your hair will thank you. Okay, you guys,

702

762
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're You're rough on the edges, which I think

763
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,000
is why a lot of people like working out with you,

764
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,960
because it's like very no bullshit, You're funny, you keep

765
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,119
it real, and you know, working out sucks.

766
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 5: Yeah's the worst.

767
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,159
Speaker 1: It's the worst. But in the time that I've known you,

768
00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:37,119
we've been friends for like seven years about that's so crazy.

769
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,239
You have had such a glow up, like just body

770
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,039
mind soul blow up. Like I you know, when I

771
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:46,280
met you, you were a broke waitress. You couldn't you

772
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,880
didn't have two nickels to rub together, relax. You were

773
00:37:49,199 --> 00:37:54,239
you were You were firing off crazy emails to your manager.

774
00:37:54,679 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

775
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,599
Speaker 5: I was like threatening lawsuits for like people who I

776
00:37:58,679 --> 00:37:59,880
worked for at a restaurant.

777
00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were like is this bad to send? You're like, yeah, don't.

778
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,079
I was like, I already did it.

779
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: Okay, so basically, all right, you weren't a broke waitress.

780
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:09,840
You were a wait.

781
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,599
Speaker 4: I said, I made it. I'm not mad, it is true.

782
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,679
Speaker 1: But then during the pandemic, something really special happened. We

783
00:38:17,679 --> 00:38:18,480
stopped being friends.

784
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 4: I really glowed off. We were a hang out.

785
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: First.

786
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,199
Speaker 5: Well, no you did this, No I did it.

787
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 4: I did it.

788
00:38:26,079 --> 00:38:26,639
Speaker 2: But what you.

789
00:38:26,639 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: Started doing, which I thought was brilliant, and I was

790
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,960
watching from Afar, was these Zoom workout classes and it

791
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,960
started for mostly comedians and all of the comedians that

792
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,079
were hold up and mentally ill during the pandemic, we're

793
00:38:38,159 --> 00:38:40,639
able to work out with you. And I was watching

794
00:38:40,679 --> 00:38:42,559
it from Afar being like, this is a business.

795
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 4: This is a business.

796
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 5: We better make up.

797
00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:48,599
Speaker 1: But she's doing this for free right now, I was like,

798
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,920
we have to do an amends justice.

799
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.

800
00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:56,159
Speaker 5: Really, well listen, I will say, okay, yeah, it's not

801
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,840
a smart business move to give away your business for free.

802
00:38:58,639 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 4: For two years.

803
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 5: But what I will say that it showed me is

804
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,639
that like, this is what I would be doing for free,

805
00:39:06,679 --> 00:39:08,719
because I did it for free, you know what I mean.

806
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,800
This was like me bringing like all of the parts

807
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:16,679
of me together, and it was natural for me to

808
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,360
do it when I had nothing to do and I

809
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:22,800
wasn't getting paid for it. So anytime I have imposter syndrome,

810
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,800
which still happens, you know, I just remember.

811
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 4: That, like, well, this is what I did for free,

812
00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:32,360
for free. Yeah, and I'm good at it, So you.

813
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,199
Speaker 1: Are really good at it. And I'm not trying to

814
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:36,760
blow smoke up your ass. I know, I'm really not.

815
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,480
I was in a place during the pandemic where I

816
00:39:41,519 --> 00:39:45,119
couldn't really get it together with working out, and I

817
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:47,679
feel like your workouts are so hard. Yeah, they're so

818
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,840
ferociously hard, but you are just kind of a breath

819
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,760
of fresh air where you're like, I know this sucks.

820
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,239
I know this fucking sucks, But does it suck more

821
00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:00,000
to do this for an hour or to hate yourself

822
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:04,559
suit And that sort of perspective is really helpful and

823
00:40:04,639 --> 00:40:08,480
very necessary, and it's like grown your business into an empire.

824
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:09,159
Speaker 4: Yeah.

825
00:40:09,199 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 5: Well, I think what the thing is is that I

826
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,559
give people permission that you don't have to like it.

827
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,159
Speaker 4: You know what I mean it? And why would you

828
00:40:18,559 --> 00:40:18,840
like it?

829
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:21,559
Speaker 5: Like working out is fucking hard and it sucks, and

830
00:40:21,679 --> 00:40:24,119
I don't like I don't wake up in the morning,

831
00:40:24,159 --> 00:40:26,159
like I can't wait to work out, Like Okay, it's

832
00:40:26,199 --> 00:40:28,519
become more natural to me now because it's my job

833
00:40:28,519 --> 00:40:31,639
in my life. But like, I'm not like some Pollyanna

834
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:34,719
who like can't wait to work out at all, But

835
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,159
I am like a sober alcoholic who needed to find

836
00:40:38,199 --> 00:40:41,480
a way to like not want to kill myself. When

837
00:40:41,519 --> 00:40:45,559
I first got sober and I started teaching spin, and

838
00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:48,079
it like became a drug for me. I mean, granted,

839
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:50,920
I was like smoking unfiltered cigarettes out in the fucking

840
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,639
parking lot before I would teach.

841
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 2: Spin, and.

842
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 5: Yeah it was like an extreme sport, yeah, but exercise.

843
00:40:59,639 --> 00:41:04,480
Really it just changed my fucking life, you know. And

844
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,440
and AA did too, because it like started a spiritual

845
00:41:07,559 --> 00:41:12,480
journey for me. But I think I think why people

846
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,960
find working out and getting in shape so hard is

847
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,400
because they think that they have to like enjoy it

848
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,760
and they have to like it and it has to

849
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,119
they have to be one of those people that's like okay,

850
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:25,840
and it's like and if you're not like that, it

851
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,800
feels like, well this doesn't apply to me. But if

852
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,079
you have permission that you don't have to like it

853
00:41:31,119 --> 00:41:33,360
and you don't have to be perfect about it. It's

854
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,519
okay to suck at it for a long time. Then

855
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,039
you don't fucking feel like a failure, like you're doing

856
00:41:41,079 --> 00:41:45,159
something wrong and it's like not really available for you.

857
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,599
And so it gives people permission to suck at it

858
00:41:47,639 --> 00:41:49,360
for a long time and not like it, and then

859
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,960
you're like, Okay, well, I can keep showing up. It's

860
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,079
easier to be consistent if you don't feel like a

861
00:41:54,199 --> 00:41:56,840
fucking failure because you're not enjoying it.

862
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: Right, you know. Yeah, And I think one of the

863
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,960
things that's so special about your program is it's all online.

864
00:42:01,079 --> 00:42:04,000
It's all zoom, so people do the workouts in their house.

865
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

866
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: And for me, I don't like going to gyms. I

867
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,480
don't like the guys that creep on you. I don't

868
00:42:10,519 --> 00:42:12,800
like people yelling at me to get off machines. I

869
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,440
don't like the vibes and gyms, And so I think

870
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,519
it gives you, like the space to just really work

871
00:42:18,559 --> 00:42:20,880
on yourself without having to like go out into the

872
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,559
wild and feel like you're being judged. And you know,

873
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,360
you've created a program where it's like you just need

874
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:31,039
a few dumbbells and resistance bands and a bench and yeah,

875
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:32,280
you can get someone in shape.

876
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and if you like going to the gym, like,

877
00:42:34,559 --> 00:42:37,400
you can take my class to the gym too, you know,

878
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:40,760
because now as my workouts have progressed, like I do

879
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,360
use heavier and heavier weights now and if you have

880
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,920
them and are available for you, So some people do

881
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:49,599
take the like their phone to the gym and just

882
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:51,360
like watch my class at the gym, and that way

883
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,119
they have access to like more equipment if they want.

884
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,840
But yeah, you can absolutely do it from your bedroom

885
00:42:57,880 --> 00:42:58,960
and most people do.

886
00:42:59,440 --> 00:42:59,639
Speaker 2: Yeah.

887
00:42:59,679 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean I was in the best shape of my

888
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,760
life when I was working out with you, doing the

889
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,760
one on ones, which I don't think you offer those anymore, right, No, no,

890
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,119
you do all yeah school thoughts. Yeah, but when I

891
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:11,880
was doing the one on ones, but that was all

892
00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:14,800
resistance bands. Yeah, fifteen pounds was the highest weight I

893
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,400
had and I was shredded. So it really is a

894
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,679
miracle if you just come and it's not even like

895
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,760
you're not saying you need to work out twice a day,

896
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,599
six days a week. No, you're like, you need to

897
00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:26,400
work out three to five times a week if you can,

898
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,960
but three is the minimum, and then it's the ten

899
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,440
thousand steps today and.

900
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 4: The food and the food.

901
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 2: The food.

902
00:43:34,079 --> 00:43:35,039
Speaker 1: This is where I always get.

903
00:43:35,159 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 4: I know. I know you lose. So I know I

904
00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:38,199
know because.

905
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,519
Speaker 1: I'm like, I have no joy in my life except

906
00:43:40,559 --> 00:43:41,159
for pizza.

907
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, but like being hot brings you joy, so does pizza. Yeah,

908
00:43:45,599 --> 00:43:47,280
and you can eat pizza too well.

909
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:47,679
Speaker 4: Listen.

910
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 5: I think I think why the program works so well

911
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,559
is because, yes, it's a fitness program, okay, but relate,

912
00:43:56,559 --> 00:44:00,880
it's an accountability program. And like we don't like so

913
00:44:01,079 --> 00:44:04,440
I have little groups. You're put into accountability group of

914
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,679
five other women every day of to send in your

915
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,800
your steps, your food diary where we give you personalized

916
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,719
macros and a sweaty selfie after you've worked.

917
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 4: Out and what that does.

918
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:18,159
Speaker 5: And we call you out if you don't send in,

919
00:44:18,199 --> 00:44:20,679
and we're not like assholes about it, but we're like

920
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,280
there to make sure you don't ghost yourself.

921
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

922
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:27,679
Speaker 5: And the accountability is really what works. It's not like

923
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,360
people are perfect about it. Most people are not perfect

924
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:31,960
about it. I'm not perfect about it. You don't have

925
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,920
to be perfect about it, but you do have to

926
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,239
be consistent, and what helps you stay consistent is accountability.

927
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,000
And there really is not another program out there that is.

928
00:44:41,559 --> 00:44:44,320
It holds you so accountable because like quite frankly, on

929
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,679
the back end, it's like so annoying to hold like

930
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,679
hundreds of women accountable every single day. It's like hard work.

931
00:44:51,159 --> 00:44:53,519
But that's really what doesn' When you were working with

932
00:44:53,519 --> 00:44:55,000
me one on one, it's like I was making you

933
00:44:55,039 --> 00:44:57,360
send in your food diary to me every single night.

934
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 4: You know, and that's what that's what keeps you going.

935
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:03,599
Speaker 5: It's like, Okay, you're not a failure because you fucked

936
00:45:03,679 --> 00:45:07,159
up your fucking food diary today, but you're gonna try

937
00:45:07,159 --> 00:45:11,039
again tomorrow, and you just keep you just keep showing up,

938
00:45:11,079 --> 00:45:13,480
even if you're like a C student. It's like Season

939
00:45:13,559 --> 00:45:15,559
d's get degrees, you know what I mean.

940
00:45:16,079 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: So the program, just so everyone knows what it is,

941
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,599
it's personalized macros which you're supposed to try and hit

942
00:45:21,639 --> 00:45:25,239
every day. That's my most challenging thing. Ten thousand steps

943
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,360
a day, a gallon of water a day, which is

944
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,280
hard for some people, like really fucking hard, and then

945
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,920
three workouts a week. And that's the program.

946
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:36,559
Speaker 5: And it's called So my business is called School of

947
00:45:36,599 --> 00:45:42,159
Thought and the eight week Accountability Thought two I can't

948
00:45:42,159 --> 00:45:45,920
spell thot, so it's like supposed to be fucking funny,

949
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,519
you know whatever.

950
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,679
Speaker 1: School of Whores.

951
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 5: Was the second runner, and the eight week accountability program

952
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,880
is called Thought Certification, and you know, going with the

953
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,159
school theme. Originally it was called Junior High. And then

954
00:46:04,159 --> 00:46:06,239
I got accused of being a pedophile by like three

955
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,960
people on the internet, and I was like, okay, one

956
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,159
person accusing me, it's like whatever, but three people, all right,

957
00:46:11,199 --> 00:46:12,199
I'll change too many.

958
00:46:12,199 --> 00:46:13,159
Speaker 4: There's too many.

959
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: So so thought your eyes for the hot one?

960
00:46:17,039 --> 00:46:21,079
Speaker 4: Yes, so yeah.

961
00:46:21,119 --> 00:46:23,679
Speaker 5: So thought Start is an eight week accountability program and

962
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,320
then once you've done the first eight weeks, we have

963
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,039
an ongoing program and we call that PhD and so

964
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:31,719
we have a lot of women who have been doing

965
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,519
the program now for like four years. And it's really

966
00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:38,599
because it fits any wherever you are in your fitness journey, like,

967
00:46:38,679 --> 00:46:43,360
however fit you are, however fit you're not. The accountability

968
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,800
and like the community now that we've built is what

969
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,000
keeps people coming back. Because my classes are kind of

970
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,159
fun because I do talk a lot of shit, and.

971
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: She talks a lot of shit, and she says funny

972
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,360
things like imagine the hottest guy you've ever seen behind

973
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,800
you and you want him to fuck you, Like.

974
00:47:00,079 --> 00:47:05,280
Speaker 5: Don't to tell you, you know, but but now that you

975
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,960
know the program has been around for like almost five years,

976
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:10,000
we have like.

977
00:47:10,039 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: It is five years because it started, and it's so crazy.

978
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, we just have like in a really amazing community

979
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,519
and we people have now become like best friends in

980
00:47:19,599 --> 00:47:22,599
real life. Like I've met my best friends now from

981
00:47:22,639 --> 00:47:26,559
my program. Like so it's and you know, we just

982
00:47:26,599 --> 00:47:30,440
had our first retreat in Mikono's in September and like

983
00:47:30,639 --> 00:47:33,440
we had fifteen girls come and it was like it

984
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,800
was so crazy because we've been seeing each other online

985
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:37,239
for a couple of years and then we met in

986
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:38,559
person and it was like, oh, we're.

987
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 4: Like already friends. That's how you do it now.

988
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 5: Now you meet online and then you meet in real

989
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:48,360
life after, you know. So it's it's just become it's

990
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,360
it really feels like it's kind of become like a

991
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,079
real school, you know, where everyone is friends and it's

992
00:47:54,079 --> 00:47:56,800
like really all walks of life and we have like comedians,

993
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,320
we have stay at home moms, we have business women,

994
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,880
we have lawyers. We it applies to everybody because everybody, listen,

995
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,639
I started teaching my class like second week of COVID

996
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:11,239
because I needed accountability, because I was like, even though

997
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,239
I had just started training people in a gym a

998
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:18,719
couple months before the pandemic hit, I was like, I

999
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,960
probably needed to teach a class because like, I don't

1000
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:22,880
want to fucking get out of shape now, and I

1001
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,320
don't trust myself because I fucking hate working out and

1002
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,599
I'm living in this teeny studio apartment and I'm just

1003
00:48:27,639 --> 00:48:29,880
going to be like fucking watching friends all day if

1004
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,039
I don't like force myself to show up for somebody

1005
00:48:33,039 --> 00:48:33,880
else right now.

1006
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,079
Speaker 1: And you know, the fact of the matter is like

1007
00:48:36,119 --> 00:48:38,760
where alcoholics and isolation can kill us. So it was

1008
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,840
like your way to stay out of the world.

1009
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 5: I was like protecting myself, you know. And that's something

1010
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,039
we learned in AA too. It's like doing it for

1011
00:48:46,159 --> 00:48:48,760
other people before you learn to do it for yourself.

1012
00:48:49,039 --> 00:48:53,480
And that's kind of like the entire basis of my

1013
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,039
business is like you know that feeling you get when

1014
00:48:58,119 --> 00:49:00,440
you first get sober and you don't want to drink

1015
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:01,800
because you don't want to go to the meeting the

1016
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,920
next day and like tell everybody that you fucking got wasted.

1017
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,519
It's sort of the same thing with thought certification. It's like,

1018
00:49:09,679 --> 00:49:11,519
all right, well, I don't want to fucking tell the

1019
00:49:11,559 --> 00:49:14,639
group I did two hundred steps today, so I guess

1020
00:49:14,679 --> 00:49:16,679
I'll go for a fucking walk.

1021
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 4: And it works like.

1022
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 5: That, sprinkling of public shaming.

1023
00:49:20,599 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 4: Is a good thing, you know, it helps you.

1024
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,679
Speaker 5: It's like, you know, all those times when I was

1025
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,239
younger and someone called me chubby, or someone called me

1026
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,880
fat bitch or something what someone said, and.

1027
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,119
Speaker 1: You're like, mom, please start.

1028
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:40,159
Speaker 5: But like though, it's like, you know, nowadays people get

1029
00:49:40,159 --> 00:49:43,599
so like I'm triggered. It's like sometimes those triggers actually

1030
00:49:43,679 --> 00:49:46,159
help you become a better version of yourself.

1031
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: You know, if you're easily offended, this workout programs for you,

1032
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:49,800
for you.

1033
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 4: Not for you.

1034
00:49:50,599 --> 00:49:53,679
Speaker 5: Yes, you need to be someone who's okay with getting

1035
00:49:53,679 --> 00:49:56,760
your caddy mouth and like crazy things coming out of

1036
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,239
my mouth. Yes, one hundred percent. I am definitely not

1037
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,719
for everybody at all, and I'm fine with that. Like

1038
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:06,559
I am not like the clean girl esthetic like pilates.

1039
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,039
Speaker 1: Go like that drinking diet.

1040
00:50:09,159 --> 00:50:12,599
Speaker 5: I'm drinking diet folk. I fucking hate every second of it.

1041
00:50:12,679 --> 00:50:14,960
So if you can relate to that, then you might

1042
00:50:15,039 --> 00:50:15,519
enjoy my.

1043
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 4: Class for sure.

1044
00:50:18,159 --> 00:50:21,079
Speaker 1: So we're going into we're rounding our way into the

1045
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:23,280
new Year, which is crazy, and this is the busiest

1046
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,519
time for you because everyone is like New Year, knew me.

1047
00:50:25,599 --> 00:50:28,119
Yeah yeah yeah, and yeah yeah yeah. That's how I

1048
00:50:28,119 --> 00:50:29,679
feel about it too. I gave up on New Year's

1049
00:50:29,679 --> 00:50:32,079
resolutions when I gave up on life, which is about

1050
00:50:32,119 --> 00:50:37,960
four years ago. But how I like want to know

1051
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,599
how busy is it for you in the New Year,

1052
00:50:41,639 --> 00:50:44,559
and how do you get people to stick around or

1053
00:50:44,599 --> 00:50:46,239
is it just like if they don't have the will,

1054
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:47,440
they're not going to do it.

1055
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 5: I mean, I it's I think for any fitness business

1056
00:50:51,559 --> 00:50:53,920
that New Year is the busiest time of year. Yes,

1057
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,920
I think, but we do have like really good numbers

1058
00:50:58,960 --> 00:50:59,440
all year.

1059
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 4: And I think it's just because.

1060
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 5: Once you get a taste of the accountability and how

1061
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,920
much of a difference it makes, because listen, the whole

1062
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,719
thing is like you don't have to be perfect year round,

1063
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:14,800
Like you're gonna have seasons where you do go really

1064
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,599
fucking hardcore and you're nailing your macros, you're nailing everything

1065
00:51:17,599 --> 00:51:21,119
and you're changing dramatically. Yes, but not all seasons of

1066
00:51:21,159 --> 00:51:23,559
your life are like that. Sometimes everything is a fucking

1067
00:51:23,599 --> 00:51:27,239
shit show. Sometimes you go through an international divorce and

1068
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,639
have to move across the world into under your couch,

1069
00:51:31,639 --> 00:51:34,360
which is where we're doing this podcast. Sometimes life is

1070
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,199
throwing shit at you and it's like, but my still,

1071
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:38,880
I woke up.

1072
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,639
Speaker 1: This morning to you giving me creatine water. Yeah, and

1073
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,440
Jeff Yeah.

1074
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 5: But like it's learning how to integrate taking care of

1075
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,559
yourself no matter what the fuck is happening. So like,

1076
00:51:50,159 --> 00:51:52,159
you don't have to be perfect all the time. Last

1077
00:51:52,159 --> 00:51:54,920
week I got one workout in. Okay, Like I probably

1078
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,480
did the least amount of workouts out of everyone in

1079
00:51:57,519 --> 00:52:00,679
my program last week. Okay, who gives shit, I'm a

1080
00:52:00,679 --> 00:52:02,639
fit lady. This week I'm gonna do four.

1081
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 4: It's all good.

1082
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 5: But like I think a lot of times when people

1083
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,079
like aren't perfect, like they fall off, they're like, well,

1084
00:52:09,119 --> 00:52:11,519
fuck it, what's the fucking point? And then they give up,

1085
00:52:11,559 --> 00:52:14,280
and it's like, no, don't bench yourself, no matter what,

1086
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,800
don't bench yourself. So like, even though I only got

1087
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,239
one workout in last week, I got over ten thousand

1088
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,559
steps every day. I nailed my macros. I would say

1089
00:52:23,599 --> 00:52:27,039
at a fucking eighty percent. I drank all my water,

1090
00:52:27,119 --> 00:52:30,360
I meditated every day. I was pretty good most of

1091
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,719
the time. I wasn't great, but I was pretty good.

1092
00:52:33,079 --> 00:52:36,079
And and I didn't let myself feel like a failure

1093
00:52:36,119 --> 00:52:39,119
because I have now rebranded my identity. I'm a fit

1094
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,639
lady now, so it's not like, oh, I fuck up

1095
00:52:41,639 --> 00:52:43,480
a workout and my workout isn't great and I'm a

1096
00:52:43,519 --> 00:52:45,119
fucking fat piece of shit and I fucked up and

1097
00:52:45,119 --> 00:52:47,480
I should just give up. What's the fucking point. It's like, no,

1098
00:52:47,599 --> 00:52:49,480
all right, I had a like rough week whatever, of

1099
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,239
course I did. I just went through a crazy international

1100
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,280
move divorce, like with an eighty pound dollar. Like I

1101
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,119
just went through a lot. Everybody, it's a big okay,

1102
00:52:58,159 --> 00:53:00,480
actually really good. I got one workout in and we're

1103
00:53:00,519 --> 00:53:03,280
being honest, you know, and then you just keep it moving.

1104
00:53:03,559 --> 00:53:07,559
So like you know, yes, if you change your your

1105
00:53:07,679 --> 00:53:10,000
body will change dramatically if you do my program. The

1106
00:53:10,079 --> 00:53:11,719
proof is in the pudding. I mean you can look

1107
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:15,360
at all the transformation pictures. Yeah, your bodies can change.

1108
00:53:15,559 --> 00:53:17,760
But the most important thing we do a lot of

1109
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,840
mindset work. In my classic I force people to meet

1110
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,800
mantras in class. Yes, they work and listen. I was

1111
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:30,159
a fucking suicidal alcoholic, like overweight, broke waitress, like hate

1112
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,119
og hater, like from Irish Italian, like, hey, it's so

1113
00:53:34,199 --> 00:53:40,079
easy for me to hate everything. And practicing mantras meditation

1114
00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:44,360
listening to Abraham Hicks that shit changed my brain. And

1115
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,559
now people, and you know a lot of people are

1116
00:53:46,559 --> 00:53:49,639
at first when I'm doing mantras in class are like oh,

1117
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,119
but it's kind of like the more stupid you think

1118
00:53:52,159 --> 00:53:55,639
it is, the more you need it, you know, And

1119
00:53:55,679 --> 00:53:58,679
the point is to rewire your brain and to like

1120
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:03,639
brainwash yourself. So like I remember when I first started

1121
00:54:03,639 --> 00:54:09,119
doing mantras, I mean this was probably seven years ago,

1122
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,960
probably right around the time I met you, and I

1123
00:54:12,079 --> 00:54:14,800
was on a very high dose of anti the highest

1124
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,480
dose of antidepressants, and I had just done transcranial magnetic

1125
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,360
stimulation for my depression because I the fucking psychiatrist gave

1126
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,800
it to me for free because he was like this,

1127
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,280
you got this is fine? I mean, yeah, that was

1128
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:31,719
a mess that flight risk. Yeah, And I was like,

1129
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:33,960
all right, well, if I'm not going to actually fucking

1130
00:54:34,079 --> 00:54:37,079
kill myself, because I actually don't have the fucking balls

1131
00:54:37,119 --> 00:54:40,079
to even kill myself then I need to figure something

1132
00:54:40,079 --> 00:54:41,679
out because if I'm going to stay here, I got

1133
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:43,639
to be able to play this game. So I was like, well,

1134
00:54:43,679 --> 00:54:46,440
I'm doing the meds. I'm doing the fucking magnet to

1135
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,840
the brain, like I have to go from every angle.

1136
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,960
So I started listening to Abraham Hicks, which is very

1137
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,199
fucking woo woo, and I have listened to it every

1138
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,840
single morning since first thing when I wake up. And

1139
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,320
then I started meditating, and then I started writing mantras

1140
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,760
all over and putting them on post its and putting

1141
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,920
them all over in my apartment, and I had a

1142
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,039
whiteboard in front of my on top of my uh

1143
00:55:10,079 --> 00:55:13,239
sink in the kitchen, and I wrote miracles are happening

1144
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,360
on the whiteboard and there were no fucking miracles happening

1145
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,599
in my life, like it was a disaster. And I

1146
00:55:19,679 --> 00:55:22,760
made a deal with myself. Every time I passed that whiteboard,

1147
00:55:23,079 --> 00:55:25,519
I have to repeat that mantra three times out loud.

1148
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,840
And I was like, this is so fucking stupid, but

1149
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,239
I'm just gonna try it, because fuck it.

1150
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,039
Speaker 4: At this point, I'll try anything. I don't care.

1151
00:55:32,199 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 5: So every time I saw it, and it was a

1152
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,639
studio apartment, so I see the whiteboard all the time,

1153
00:55:35,679 --> 00:55:37,559
and I was like, miracles are happening, Miracles are happening,

1154
00:55:37,599 --> 00:55:39,760
Miracles are happening. I was like, this is like embarrassing,

1155
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:42,800
but whatever. So one day I was like taking a

1156
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:47,039
poop and I'm Brittany sure. I was also having a

1157
00:55:47,079 --> 00:55:50,079
cigarette taking boop, which is like one of the greatest

1158
00:55:50,199 --> 00:55:53,920
choice of life. Yeah, you haven't lived until you've smoked

1159
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,280
and taken a shit at the same time as and and.

1160
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,559
Speaker 3: I guess I haven't lived because I try it said that,

1161
00:56:01,559 --> 00:56:04,519
and so I was saying boop, and all of a sudden,

1162
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,440
I had the thought, without seeing the whiteboard, miracles are happening,

1163
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:09,800
which is money that I was.

1164
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:11,599
Speaker 4: It was like a very good poop.

1165
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 5: But I realized in that moment, I was like, oh

1166
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,400
my god, I just I just brainwashed myself because I

1167
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,719
just had the thought miracles are happening without seeing it.

1168
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,480
It just came into my head out of nowhere. And

1169
00:56:24,519 --> 00:56:26,559
that's when I was like, oh my god, this shit

1170
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,920
fucking works, Like I just I did it.

1171
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 4: I brainwashed myself.

1172
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 5: So then I was like, Okay, there's something to this,

1173
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,320
because that's really like at the end of the day,

1174
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,960
It's like you're when you change your thoughts, that's how

1175
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:39,440
you change.

1176
00:56:39,559 --> 00:56:39,719
Speaker 2: You know.

1177
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,599
Speaker 4: A belief is just the thought you think over and

1178
00:56:41,639 --> 00:56:42,159
over again.

1179
00:56:42,519 --> 00:56:45,880
Speaker 2: And when if you think I'm not saying miracles are

1180
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:46,880
happening next time I'm.

1181
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 5: Taking he's like if I took one thing. Yeah, And

1182
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,039
when you change your beliefs, that's when your three D

1183
00:56:58,159 --> 00:56:59,519
reality changes, you know.

1184
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,599
Speaker 4: So it really is.

1185
00:57:01,519 --> 00:57:06,119
Speaker 5: Important to while you're getting fit to also work on

1186
00:57:06,159 --> 00:57:08,360
your mindset, because if you change your body but you

1187
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,920
have not changed anything up here, you're going to go

1188
00:57:11,039 --> 00:57:12,840
right back to your old habits and you're going to

1189
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,599
gain the weight back. You're gonna you have to start

1190
00:57:15,679 --> 00:57:19,159
identifying as a new person, you know, you have to

1191
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,920
literally change your identity while you're changing your body, so

1192
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:28,519
that you can hold on to the manifestation, like hold

1193
00:57:28,559 --> 00:57:33,280
on to the transformation and hold on to the manifestation

1194
00:57:34,519 --> 00:57:36,440
whatever you're calling in your life right now.

1195
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,199
Speaker 1: So I just read something and I want to share

1196
00:57:39,199 --> 00:57:41,480
this with you. It said consistent exercise can cause the

1197
00:57:41,519 --> 00:57:44,760
brain to forget traumatic memories. Trauma doesn't just live in

1198
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:46,280
the mind, it lives in the body, and the body

1199
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:51,320
remembers everything. Regular exercise can help rewire emotional pathways and

1200
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:55,199
soften old wounds. What's your experience been like with that?

1201
00:57:55,599 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 5: Well, you know, now I've people are really talking about

1202
00:57:59,079 --> 00:58:01,880
fashia all lot weight and that it's like quantum and

1203
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:07,480
that fascia holds your Fascia is like the organ around

1204
00:58:07,519 --> 00:58:12,840
the muscle, and they're saying, it's like this electric electric

1205
00:58:13,039 --> 00:58:17,039
system that holds all your memories and holds all your emotions.

1206
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,159
And I mean, listen, I do believe that. You know,

1207
00:58:20,239 --> 00:58:25,079
if you are not expressing your emotions or you know,

1208
00:58:25,159 --> 00:58:28,280
expressing how you feel, energy is not created or lost.

1209
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,760
It doesn't just disappear. You're like holding onto it in

1210
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,280
your body like you know. And I was just telling

1211
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:38,400
you last night how like your body is talking to

1212
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,559
you and you have to really learn, like you know.

1213
00:58:41,639 --> 00:58:44,920
In July, when I knew I needed to leave my marriage,

1214
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,239
I started getting this really intense pain in my right

1215
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,440
hip and it was like out of nowhere, and it

1216
00:58:52,519 --> 00:58:54,320
was like debilitating, like it was.

1217
00:58:54,519 --> 00:58:57,039
Speaker 4: It was really really killing me.

1218
00:58:57,679 --> 00:59:01,239
Speaker 5: And and I didn't know how I did it because

1219
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:03,000
I didn't do it working out. It just kind of

1220
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,159
came out of nowhere and it was in my right hip,

1221
00:59:05,159 --> 00:59:07,239
which is your masculine side. Your right side is your

1222
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,360
masculine side, and your hip, which is like moving forward,

1223
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,719
making decisions. And I remember thinking like it's because I

1224
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,079
need to leave him. My body is like talking to me,

1225
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,159
and I kept being like like I'm trying to stretch it.

1226
00:59:21,199 --> 00:59:23,599
I'm trying and nothing is working. And I remember thinking like,

1227
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,480
I bet you anything, I fucking leave him and it

1228
00:59:26,519 --> 00:59:27,079
goes away.

1229
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 4: And that's exactly what happens.

1230
00:59:29,039 --> 00:59:31,079
Speaker 5: I left him in a week later the pain was

1231
00:59:31,519 --> 00:59:37,280
magically completely gone. So yeah, I mean, your body does

1232
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,719
hold your emotions and it does hold memories, and I think,

1233
00:59:42,039 --> 00:59:45,159
you know, working out is kind of starting to work

1234
00:59:45,199 --> 00:59:48,159
out is kind of like the first like peeling the audience,

1235
00:59:48,199 --> 00:59:54,679
like the first layer, you know. But yeah, I mean, yeah,

1236
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,320
we hold everything in our body.

1237
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the body keeps the scores a really great book

1238
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,719
if you haven't read. Yeah, Okay, tell everyone where they
