00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: In this episode, I do a one on one with

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,839
my son Jordan, who won a powerlifting competition over the weekend,

3
00:00:04,879 --> 00:00:07,360
and I actually learned something along the way. I know

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,480
the son is teaching the father. Are you surprised me?

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,519

16
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:54,880
so impressed by how Matt and Connie and the team

00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,359
at bTB run things because they're always tweaking and making

18
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:00,560

Speaker 3: Thanks for getting your pot on. Thank you for telling

29
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,239
a friend.

30
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:54,719
Speaker 1: That's always spread the word about the pirate ship. If

31
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:56,799
you ever want to feel old, watch your kid do

32
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,239
something that you couldn't possibly ever have for ever.

33
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,239
Speaker 3: Ado even imagine doing.

34
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: Yesterday, I went out and I watched my twenty three

35
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:10,080
year old son, Jordan, in a.

36
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: I was gonna say a weightlifting competition, but it's what

37
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:14,879
is it?

38
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Powerlifting competition? Powerlifting competition? See, I don't even know. And

39
00:02:20,439 --> 00:02:22,479
I asked him to come in here today we're taping this.

40
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:25,439
It was kind of early on a Sunday morning, early

41
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:28,879
for a Sunday morning. I actually woke him up. He

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,800
told me what time he wanted to be here. We

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:36,039
got him some coffee and some breakfast. Sandwich to try

44
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,800
to get him fueled up, and then I hear he

45
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,719
comes in and he says, yeah, I.

46
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,439
Speaker 3: Went out to the bar last night and I.

47
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: Wore my metal because you won your age group for

48
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:50,400
the powerlifting competition, which I thought was super impressive and

49
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,520
something that you got to feel pretty good about.

50
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: I do feel really good about it.

51
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:59,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I mean it's like putting on a costume

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:02:59,599
and you go out.

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: You're like, I mean that is is that called low

54
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:06,599
key brag? What do they call that? Quiet brag? Humble brag?

55
00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:08,719
Humble brag? Humble brag?

56
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:10,439
Speaker 4: I don't think it's humble brag. I know.

57
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: I think it's just an out and out brag.

58
00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:14,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's pretty out in people's faces. But

59
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,120
I mean people wear rapper chains out to the bar

60
00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:19,080
all the time. I can't wear a metal that I earned.

61
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: I yuess. I don't know if you did.

62
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:27,439
Speaker 1: It was interesting, right because I had never gone to

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,599
one of those well run I thought, you know, really

64
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,199
moved people through did this stuff? What do you have

65
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,400
like one minute once you get on the platform, Yeah.

66
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: You have, so once they call your name, you have

67
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,120
you just have sixty seconds to get yourself set and

68
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,240
complete the lift.

69
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,039
Speaker 1: And you were the slowest by the way I figured,

70
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,759
because you would walk out and you would look at

71
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:53,120
the bar and you'd kind of roll your shoulders or whatever,

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,560
and then the guys are like, all right, Joan, come on,

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,599
clock's chicken. And I think you were at forty five

74
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,719
seconds then left, and I'm Mike, and I knew you

75
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:01,280
would get it in.

76
00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:01,879
Speaker 3: Yeah.

77
00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:05,039
Speaker 4: Well, it's very similar to what I would do with

78
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,479
track in terms of the timing of everything, Like when

79
00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:09,960
I was when I was a thrower in college, you

80
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,439
had the exact same amount of time to complete your

81
00:04:12,479 --> 00:04:14,439
throw as you would have lifted a powerlifting me. So

82
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,480
I know, you know, everyone says like, oh, just go

83
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,759
get it done right away. I'm like, no, I'm gonna

84
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,079
make sure I'm when I'm walking up there, I want

85
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:26,120
to make sure that I'm like confident and a little

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,680
bit relaxed so that i can just get under the

87
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,879
bar or get on the bench and just get it done.

88
00:04:32,079 --> 00:04:34,519
And that takes forty five That takes a couple of seconds.

89
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:36,040
It takes a couple of seconds.

90
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: All right.

91
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,199
Speaker 1: So well, let's back up just a little bit here

92
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:40,920
and kind of walk through you.

93
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: You were a thrower in high school. Yeah at McQuaid.

94
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: Uh, muscles, you definitely had them, but you were a

95
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,360
skinny guy.

96
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny. I think a lot of that. A

97
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:58,319
lot of where I started with both powerlifting and track

98
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,240
was around the exact same time. It was one of

99
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,480
my best friends. His name is Joseph Brunner, and he

100
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,560
he was the whole reason I started doing track in

101
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,000
the first place, and at least started throwing.

102
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 3: Did you know Yoseph. I don't think I ever even

103
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:13,759
knew this.

104
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 4: You don't remember the the ginger kid at all?

105
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:19,079
Speaker 3: The Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that was that was.

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,759
Speaker 4: Went to Fisher.

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,439
Speaker 3: Yeah that's Joseph. Yeah, oh I didn't. He's my He's

108
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:25,000
one of the think I thought his name was jose.

109
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 4: Well it is, but he emphasizes that pronunciation. Okay, I

110
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,639
don't know why, but he he got me into throwing

111
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240
because he and I were teammates before I started doing

112
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,319
that when I just when I wasn't able to run

113
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,480
anymore because of the constant injuries to my foot and

114
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:48,680
just the frustration. And he was also a big like

115
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240
he was really into powerlifting at that age, which was

116
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,959
why he was so good at track and once he

117
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,319
got me on the team and started getting me in

118
00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:00,439
the groove of throwing, it kind of just was one

119
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:03,399
and one, yeah, and it became like a very The

120
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:06,399
lifting styles are very similar. You're doing a lot of

121
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,160
the same movements anyway, m hm. So it makes sense

122
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,759
if you're going to keep training that way, you might

123
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,199
as well compete that way too.

124
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: Because then I remember about was it a year ago?

125
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,759
Speaker 4: Two years was two years ago?

126
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: Okay, two years ago? I did one? Yeah, you were

127
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,560
in college still, I was.

128
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was my I was going into my senior

129
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,959
year year of college. It was end of the summer

130
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:31,639
right around the same time, the same place too, and

131
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,040
I had never done one before, right, but I wanted

132
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,000
to enter one, and I came in third place. At

133
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,680
that time. I didn't have any of the equipment I needed,

134
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:44,319
I didn't have a coach, I barely knew the commands,

135
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,720
and I still went out there and I.

136
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: Did what I did. Yeah, you came in third, I think.

137
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:49,480
I know.

138
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,319
Speaker 1: By the way, you didn't even have a singlet Nope,

139
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:55,240
And so you have to wear these singlets, which, by

140
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,240
the way, can you get a bigger one, like slightly bigger?

141
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:03,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, I probably I've thought this is.

142
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: That thing, like practically it's like C three, you might

143
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,000
as well just walk out there naked and do the thing.

144
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I don't want it like sagging down

145
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,319
my legs as I'm trying to squad.

146
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

147
00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: But so, okay, so you and and that one you

148
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,800
came in third. Now you're a little more aware. This

149
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:23,720
is only the second competition you've done.

150
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I you know, I had that year

151
00:07:27,519 --> 00:07:31,399
off where I was where I was living in Saint

152
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:34,800
Louis and doing track over there up until the injury,

153
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:39,439
and then I decided when I came back and had

154
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:43,759
my pseudo medical retirement from track, I was like, I

155
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:46,959
want to get back into this, and I just I

156
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,839
went online and I saw that Chris Harris was hosting

157
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:54,040
it again at the same venue, same entry fee, same everything.

158
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,240
I was like, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna pay the fee,

159
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:56,879
I'm gonna do it.

160
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,399
Speaker 3: So and these are sanctioned events.

161
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:04,439
Speaker 4: They are. So there's two different federations out there, at

162
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:09,240
least that I know of, for powerlifting. There's the USAPL,

163
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,759
which is the United States. I think it's like the

164
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:18,399
United States of America Powerlifting League, and then there's the USPA,

165
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,839
which is the United States Powerlifting Association. They have slightly

166
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:27,639
different rules and slightly different things that you're allowed to

167
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,680
do in terms of like equipment. I don't really know

168
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,679
all the nitty gritty of it, but I know that

169
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:35,279
I got a membership for both so that I could

170
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,840
you have a membership for both? I did, Yeah, so

171
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,720
it could experiment and see, you know, I want to

172
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:41,279
try both.

173
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, when is? Do you know when the next one is?

174
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 4: I can go online and see when there are other ones.

175
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,639
I know. I know Joseph and I are planning on

176
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:54,200
doing one in Utica in December, okay, which is in

177
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,840
the other federation, the USPAK, And that would be my

178
00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:58,240
first time competing with those.

179
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,639
Speaker 3: Rules in Utica.

180
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

181
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:03,879
Speaker 1: Look at this the armpit in New York. When you're

182
00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:09,440
walking up to the platform and you're going for your

183
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,440
heaviest lift, this is going to be the one the heaviest.

184
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,320
And I watched guys try to hit away. Like one

185
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,639
guy just walked up. I think he looked at the

186
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,679
bar and knew he couldn't do it and walked away.

187
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,559
They just walked away, and I was like, I get it. Man,

188
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,679
I totally get it. I couldn't do this, but what

189
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:31,240
is going through your head? And how do you manage

190
00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:35,720
the pressure in that exact moment, because that's like a

191
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:40,159
pressure fel Field thing. And there's an audience, so to speak,

192
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,039
and judges who are they're watching your form and right,

193
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,720
and you gotta get you got to get at least

194
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,000
two white lights, yeah, to move on out of the

195
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:48,960
three judges.

196
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: Yeah. So there's.

197
00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 4: The judges are there just to make sure that you're

198
00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:59,279
doing everything correctly in order for your lift account. And

199
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,320
then there's a guy giving commands, which by the way,

200
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,440
they need to start giving that guy a microphone or something.

201
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's hard to hear.

202
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you got speakers blasting, you've got the.

203
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,879
Speaker 3: End music pumping DJ there yeah yeah, and you.

204
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 4: Have the the MC of the event just trying to

205
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,240
hype up the crowd. You know, credit to them. But

206
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,600
at the same time, it's like it's kind of like

207
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,120
golfing away, you know, like once you're actually doing it,

208
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,120
you kind of need to be quiet so you can

209
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:28,639
actually hear everything. Yeah, but it's never like that, so uh,

210
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:29,639
they do.

211
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:30,799
Speaker 3: Make it a bit of a carnival.

212
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,759
Speaker 4: Don't they They do, but I mean, you gotta you

213
00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:35,879
gotta make it entertaining. People pay to get in there.

214
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: So, but it was.

215
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 4: The white lights thing. It's just to make sure you

216
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,039
know you're doing everything right. So you have to make

217
00:10:44,039 --> 00:10:47,320
sure you're hearing the commands properly. You can't put the

218
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,799
bar back on the rack for squats until you hear

219
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,080
them say to do it. You can't press the bar

220
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,639
off your chest on bench press until you hear them

221
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,960
say it. If you do it too early, that's a

222
00:10:59,039 --> 00:10:59,480
light gone.

223
00:10:59,679 --> 00:10:59,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

224
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: And then if you obviously, if you fail to lift,

225
00:11:03,799 --> 00:11:05,559
that's three reds. Doesn't count.

226
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:08,799
Speaker 3: If you how many attempts do you get on each,

227
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:10,240
so you.

228
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 4: Have you have a total of three attempts at any weight,

229
00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:14,519
it doesn't matter.

230
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: So I only saw you do like two.

231
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 4: Well, so when you go, when you first get there

232
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,080
and you do you you walk in, you give them

233
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,080
your name, your ID, your membership card, You go through

234
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,159
all that, and then you go to actually weigh in

235
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:34,840
to make sure that you're uh at within the threshold

236
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:38,639
for whatever weight class you're in. After that you give

237
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,360
whoever took your weight is also going to take your openers,

238
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,039
So you actually have to have a number in your

239
00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:47,200
head of how much you want to start with h

240
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,080
and it has to be in metric.

241
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,759
Speaker 3: Which I hate, but right right.

242
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,799
Speaker 4: So once you do that, at that point you decide

243
00:11:56,879 --> 00:11:59,080
from there how much heavier you want to go. That's

244
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,639
why if you saw me co back up to the

245
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,840
table where they had that little chart, that's what I

246
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:05,759
was doing. I was trying to figure out what I

247
00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:07,240
was going to do next, so they could tell the

248
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,679
people who are loading the bar, hey, he's going to

249
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:09,960
do her.

250
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: You know.

251
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 4: Those guys are like they're like a GASCAR pit crew.

252
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was gonna say. They got Jackson everything. Man,

253
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,240
they're jacking that stuff.

254
00:12:17,039 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: Up quick, boom boom boom the weight tron and then

255
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:21,799
in comes to the next person.

256
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,879
Speaker 3: Through all of this stuff, what did you learn?

257
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,039
Speaker 1: I guess about yourself, and I know I would say

258
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,679
leaning up to the competition, but through this weightlifting journey,

259
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,240
maybe something that surprised you the most that you that

260
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,399
you learned about yourself.

261
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: Was there anything?

262
00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:45,039
Speaker 4: Honestly, the one thing I really learned was just that

263
00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:48,159
I can do it. I mean, it takes a lot

264
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:50,879
of it takes a lot of effort. But it's not

265
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,919
as I don't want to say, it's not as hard

266
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,399
as everyone makes it out to be, because in my

267
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,840
head it isn't. You just have to keep doing it

268
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,639
every single day. I mean, it's like it's very similar

269
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,759
to any form of training for athletics. Like look at

270
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,840
you talk to like Joe Burrow or Josh Allen about

271
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:12,039
like what it takes to be a quarterback in the NFL,

272
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,559
and one of the first words that, like one of

273
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,200
the first things they'll say is you got to show

274
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:19,320
up every day. You gotta do everything every day even

275
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,279
if you don't want to, right, Yeah, And that's something

276
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,799
you told me about all the time when I was

277
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,000
a kid with sports and stuff, that if I wanted

278
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,240
to do it, I had to do it every day,

279
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,120
even on the days I didn't want to. And you know,

280
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,759
it's it's the same idea with powerlifting. You just you

281
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,879
gotta show up for training the same way, with the

282
00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:43,360
same attitude every single time, even on your worst day.

283
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,519
Speaker 1: Powerlifting's about lifting weight, right, I mean that that's what

284
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,759
that's about. But but what wait outside the gym, do

285
00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:53,679
you think this sport has helped you kind of move

286
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,159
forward in life, carry better in your life, I.

287
00:13:56,159 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 4: Would say so.

288
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:57,279
Speaker 3: Yeah.

289
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 4: I mean I'm a huge advocate it for people to

290
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,720
go work out for more than just the physical health benefits,

291
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240
but also the mental health benefits.

292
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: You got to think about true.

293
00:14:09,799 --> 00:14:12,919
Speaker 4: I mean people talk about a runners high all the time. Yeah, yeah,

294
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:14,840
that's cool. But do you know how good it feels

295
00:14:14,879 --> 00:14:18,080
to squat four hundred pounds and not die? It's awesome?

296
00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:22,080
Why doesn't everyone do that? But in all seriousness, I

297
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,440
think you know, having something to do consistently that you

298
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,320
can get really good at that. It's everyone talks about

299
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,000
having like a win in the morning or like a

300
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:33,240
win to start your day.

301
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

302
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: You know some people say, oh, I make my bed

303
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:39,360
every single day so that I can have a win

304
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,200
for that day.

305
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah cool, do you do that? Do you make your

306
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,399
bed every day? I doubt it, No.

307
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:48,159
Speaker 4: I doubt But what I say when I'm saying that,

308
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,200
what I mean, I know what you mean, Like when

309
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,639
you go to this something you accomplish exactly, there's a

310
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:54,480
satisfaction to that.

311
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: That That's why a lot of times I don't know

312
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:59,399
that I was always great at it, but I would

313
00:14:59,399 --> 00:15:02,399
have say things. It's like, you know, on radio. I

314
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,399
didn't know how I did.

315
00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 3: At the end of the day. I could walk out

316
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:06,399
of there going, oh, great show today.

317
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: It could have been a steaming pile of shit, and

318
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:10,960
I wouldn't know because the ratings didn't come out for

319
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,200
three months. There was nothing tangible. But if I hung

320
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,279
a door, like when we replaced the door in your bedroom,

321
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,399
like that kind of thing was a tangible thing, and

322
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,200
there was satisfaction to doing that, especially when it was

323
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,120
an older house and I had settled and the door

324
00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:26,960
was all fucked up and I had a plan.

325
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: It was great, like it was.

326
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: Those were satisfying things, and I think that we need

327
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,840
to do more satisfying things. There's a lot of talk.

328
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:41,320
You'll hear. God, I feel like so many people just

329
00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:46,799
talking in circles or platitudes. Often, Like I saw something

330
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,799
about like churches coming together and we're gonna tear down

331
00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:50,600
walls and we're.

332
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: It's every it's every.

333
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,519
Speaker 1: Fucking you know, platitude, and we're gonna tear down these

334
00:15:57,559 --> 00:15:59,639
walls and we're gonna bring the creat But it's not.

335
00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:02,320
It's you're speaking in hypotheticals.

336
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:02,639
Speaker 3: You're not.

337
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:06,879
Speaker 1: There's no tangible plan there to actually do it. And

338
00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:10,519
I think the only way to fix everything is to

339
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:13,639
fix the individual first. And you fix the individual by

340
00:16:13,639 --> 00:16:16,440
building self esteem. And you build self esteem by being

341
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:19,720
by accomplishing things and feeling good. And it's not bullshit

342
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:22,080
stuff or blowing sunshine up your ass and telling you

343
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:22,480
you're great.

344
00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:23,039
Speaker 3: Now.

345
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,799
Speaker 1: I hear people always bitch about participation trophies and all

346
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,399
that sort of thing. I don't have a problem with

347
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,559
a participation trophy as long as we're still giving somebody

348
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:36,639
MVP Most Improved on top of the participation trophy to

349
00:16:36,799 --> 00:16:41,000
show you that, hey, thanks for showing up every day.

350
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: That was great. Here's a participation trophy.

351
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: This guy did a little extra and really improved and

352
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,279
he worked on his game. Have you been to Leo's

353

Baker and Deli and East Rochester recently?

354
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:52,399

359
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,960
make you rethink your self control. It's all waiting for you.

360
00:17:11,279 --> 00:17:15,680

about Leo's is everything. Hey, if you've been thinking about

checking out recreational cannabis in Monroe County, stop thinking and

them out online at MJ Dispensary five eight five dot com.

387
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,359
I think one of the big things for anybody if

388
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,079
you were to apply this stuff to life. Right, you

389
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,359
were this skinny guy in high school who looked up

390
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,400
to these people. You are not that skinny guy anymore.

391
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,519
But it was through consistent work that got you there.

392
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:57,240
And I will always say to people you you can't

393
00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:01,000
get from Rochester to Buffalo without taking the trip, without

394
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,640
taking the journey. Now, there's many ways to get from Buffalo.

395
00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:08,400
The easiest way is ninety, but you can do back roads,

396
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,920
you can do different ways, you can veer off here.

397
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,039
Speaker 3: Right, all kinds of ways. Which way is going to

398
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:15,839
be the easiest?

399
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: And they, like I always say, when we think of.

400
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: Like grinding and grinding out and blah blah blah.

401
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,599
Speaker 1: And it kind of makes it ugly, right, And I

402
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,240
live that way a lot, and I think you don't

403
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,880
have to do that. I think you can have a

404
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,000
different mentality and still get there and be happy. And

405
00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:37,839
I will say the best way in my mind to

406
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,160
do that is if I put in my GPS how

407
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,079
to get to Buffalo. Do I worry about not getting

408
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,839
to Buffalo? No, I just think about the next turn

409
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,279
I have to make. That's what I think about, and

410
00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:51,880
I go, this should be the same thing in life.

411
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 3: I want to get here. I trust I'm going to

412
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,799
get there. What's my next turn? What's my next turn?

413
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: And then you know what I'm saying, with the destination

414
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,519
in mind, but knowing that it doesn't have to be

415
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:05,680
this grind thing. But I'll lighten it up here a

416
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,400
little bit, because I always these conversations.

417
00:20:08,799 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 3: You're fine.

418
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: All these conversations turn it back into the lectures you

419
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:12,960
used to get in the car from McQuay.

420
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised, but you're fine. I do want to say,

421
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,079
I think I think I didn't really address the point

422
00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:24,400
you brought up earlier about what's what goes through my head?

423
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what goes through your head when you're walking

424
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,119
up there, because it's like there's music nothing.

425
00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 4: That's the thing. It's the same approach I had with track.

426
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:37,000
It's the same approach I have with the lifting. It's

427
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,680
the same approach I have with everything. Is when I'm

428
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:44,200
right like I've got my heart's racing, my head's pounding,

429
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,319
I'm hearing all this music, I'm hearing people yelling, and

430
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,839
all I want. All I can do in that moment

431
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:59,319
is just breathe and tune everything out and then it's

432
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,319
just me and the way, and that's it. That's all

433
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,160
you gotta do. Once you're there, it's a way you've

434
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,279
either done before, you've never done before, or you're just

435
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,119
literally under there and you're like, I'm either going to

436
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,960
look like a little bit and not get this and

437
00:21:13,079 --> 00:21:16,119
possibly get hurt, or I'm gonna get this and it's

438
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,640
gonna be awesome. And all you do, that's all I do.

439
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:24,480
I just breathe, clear my head and just get under it,

440
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:25,960
and I'm done.

441
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: That's it.

442
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:30,079
Speaker 4: Like you can't have any thoughts going through your head

443
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:33,119
because if you're thinking about it the entire time, you're

444
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,160
trying to do it, you're gonna fuck it up.

445
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,519
Speaker 3: Right almost You're putting some resistance in there. Yeah.

446
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean again, you can ask a lot

447
00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:46,039
of I mean, it really just comes down to what

448
00:21:46,079 --> 00:21:47,720
you're doing. But a lot, I feel like a lot

449
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,440
of people would agree when it comes to something like that.

450
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,839
You can't think you need to turn your brain off

451
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,240
and you just need to you just need to be automatic.

452
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,680
You already know what you have to do auto pilot

453
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:01,480
pretty much.

454
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: It very zen, Yeah right, yeah, in a way, right,

455
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,519
something that I've always.

456
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if it's that zen when

457
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,680
you're like, when you've probably had three to four hundred

458
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,039
milligrams of caffeine and are ripping smelling salts behind the stage.

459
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:18,759
Speaker 3: Why do you do all that stuff?

460
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,319
Speaker 4: Well, caffeine is a legal performance enhancer. Everyone will tell

461
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,359
you that. Yeah, so you know it helps perform. There's

462
00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:31,440
obviously tons of studies out there that show that it

463
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,880
does boost performance, right, But the smelling salts thing is

464
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,880
more of just a thing that some people say is

465
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,400
some people say it's bullshit. I disagree. I've seen it

466
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,279
wake up people who are blackout drunk. You've seen those

467
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,960
videos where like they'll break the little ampulse under somebody's nose.

468
00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:52,279
They're passed out and then they immediately come back. No,

469
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,079
I use that because it just helps me breathe in

470
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,480
a lot more and it just helps me dial in

471
00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:05,680
so that way when I go out there, I'm not thinking.

472
00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:08,839
Speaker 3: Like dietary wise, because I was looking.

473
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: I actually looked up while because there was some downtime

474
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:15,119
yesterday doing that meat, and I looked up the anti

475
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:20,000
inflammatory diet. I was reading that stuff, and I mean,

476
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:23,160
how much how important is diet for you overall?

477
00:23:23,759 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: Very Yeah, I.

478
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 4: Mean it's even outside of this just to stay healthy,

479
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,160
you know, like with all my food allergies and stuff

480
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,640
on top of everything else, diet is extremely important.

481
00:23:34,759 --> 00:23:36,559
Speaker 1: You had a lot of food allergies. Jordan was like

482
00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:40,839
when he was born, he was a losing weight, projectile

483
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,359
vomiting back in the hospital. We had to get hyperallergenic

484
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,680
formula from Britain.

485
00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:49,319
Speaker 4: I was basically the I was pretty much bubble boy,

486
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,039
yeah kind of.

487
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean I would say it's dramatic, but yeah, I

488
00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,440
guess you could say that growing up. I was on

489
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,559
the radio for all your life pretty much, and people

490
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:09,880
would recognize it. How did I don't know, how did

491
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,759
it feel when people would say things? And did you

492
00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:17,079
ever feel differently of me because of that?

493
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. No real people would recognize.

494
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it was always weird because I'd be like,

495
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,519
who are you?

496
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:27,559
Speaker 3: And then I'd.

497
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 4: Realize very quickly, Oh, you don't actually know us. You

498
00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:35,119
just know what my dad talks about. And at that

499
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,920
point it was more of just a you gotta be

500
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,640
careful about how you carry yourself type deal, because anyone

501
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,240
could call in and say anything and be like, hey, Bill,

502
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,559
your kid's an asshole, like and just say some story

503
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,200
about me being a dick, and I would have no

504
00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:55,680
idea who this person is, So you know, that was

505
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,200
something I had to really keep in the back of

506
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,599
my head. Ye.

507
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. I think there was even maybe even

508
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,759
talked about a little bit. It was right, It was by.

509
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 4: It was drilled into my head by you and especially

510
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:09,720
by mom.

511
00:25:09,839 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 3: Mmmm.

512
00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:14,599
Speaker 4: Like I mean Mom and I we'd be at Wegman's

513
00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:17,359
grocery shopping when I was like seven eight years old,

514
00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:20,799
and we would get stopped seven times before we even

515
00:25:20,839 --> 00:25:23,839
made it out of the parking lot because people would

516
00:25:23,839 --> 00:25:27,240
recognize her because of you, and you know, that's just

517
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:29,440
like I got used to it. It was kind of

518
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,279
a normal thing, but it was also like I knew

519
00:25:32,279 --> 00:25:32,960
it was weird.

520
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

521
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 4: I also just didn't care. I was just like, Okay,

522
00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:41,039
this is a part of what's It's just a part

523
00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:41,640
of the life.

524
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:41,759
Speaker 3: I guess.

525
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's one memory of us from childhood that that

526
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,319
still shapes how you see maybe me or the family?

527
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:52,839
Speaker 3: Is there anything that any kind of.

528
00:25:56,519 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 4: I mean when when we say childhood, how how far

529
00:25:58,720 --> 00:25:59,440
back are we going?

530
00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.

531
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:03,279
Speaker 1: You tell me what whatever sticks in your head, I

532
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:03,759
don't have.

533
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 4: Any I mean seeing you at all my my track

534
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,920
meets in high school. Yeah, that stuck with me. Yeah,

535
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,799
that's still kind of you know, hearing you talk about

536
00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:19,160
I mean, just the talk about staying consistent with sports,

537
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,039
like constantly checking up and seeing like what I was

538
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:26,400
thinking about, and how practice would go, and some of

539
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,880
the conversations we'd have on Ride's home after practice that

540
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,720
really shaped me.

541
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: Do you think so? I did?

542
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:35,759
Speaker 1: I always thought sometimes I was I was like, going,

543
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,319

Brown's dad is like, well.

545
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 4: I mean at that age, I didn't really have the

546
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,279
same appreciation for it that I do now sure of course,

547
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:50,640

00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:35,599
out on things you hear about people who have trained their,

593
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,880
whole lives, you Know Like tiger Woods Being, Tiger, woods

594
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,839
right it was golf twenty four to seven for. That

595
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,000
guy and then when you find out this Story, of tiger,

596
00:29:45,319 --> 00:29:48,880
you know having this almost sexual addiction where he's just,

597
00:29:49,119 --> 00:29:52,119
you KNOW and i don't know if that's part of

598
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:55,920
the boring life for. SO long i remember reading an

599
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,880
Article In rolling stone magazine about you two concert and the, reporter,

600
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,279
Rights Uh tiger woods got backstage and asked to see

601
00:30:05,319 --> 00:30:08,839
the set lists so he could at know what songs

602
00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:11,559
were being because he wasn't familiar with them and he's,

603
00:30:11,599 --> 00:30:13,720
a celebrity and so they bring him back and, YOU

604
00:30:13,759 --> 00:30:16,400

woods wanted, to go or Someone like tiger was with wanted.

606
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,359

much golf there, was nothing there was room for nothing

608
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,519

634
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,079
game still, doing amazing but doing the almost like the

635
00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:51,759
opposite of What everyone everyone would hear about, the parties like,

636
00:31:52,519 --> 00:31:56,559
the drinking the, crazy antics but it's because they weren't

637
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,400
so rigid with themselves to where they would lose control and.

638
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,599
Speaker 1: Burn out what's something about me as a dad that

639

642
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,279
this long you gotta wait this long to come up.

643
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:20,519

646
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:27,920
wasn't prepared for.

647
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,079
Speaker 1: That, QUESTION well i think, you, said like, you know

648
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:33,400
the things that we would, talk about and HOW so

649
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:34,720
i feel like it's a.

650
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:36,039
Speaker 3: LITTLE redundant i.

651
00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: Think it would just go back to the same thing

652
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,200
of the consistency that you told me ABOUT when i was,

653
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,559
A KID and i definitely appreciate it NOW because i

654
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,759
try and carry that with me in other aspects of.

655
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:50,519
MY life i try and just be as CONSISTENT as

656
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:55,680
i can, with work, with friends, with relationships. With everything, you, know,

657
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,160
like yes putting my best foot forward and showing up

658
00:33:00,039 --> 00:33:00,799
and on THE days i don't.

659
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:03,759
Speaker 1: WANT to i think THAT'S a i think it's a

660
00:33:03,759 --> 00:33:06,920
great lesson, for EVERYBODY and i think if you can do,

661
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,319
it though with the attitude, OF hey i get to,

662

665
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: Just different do they have to Get TO because i understand,

666
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,680
THAT mentality i take it more OF a i need

667
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,559
to because, for, me yeah it's something fun and yet

668
00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,920
IT'S something i enjoy and IT'S something i get to

669
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,319
do that a lot of people. DON'T know i can

670
00:33:33,359 --> 00:33:37,160
take that appreciation. From it but, FOR me i need to.

671
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,400
Do IT if i it makes my. Day BETTER if

672
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,240
i don't, do IT unless i have a really good

673
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,400
excuse For why i'm not, DOING it i Feel like

674
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:53,400
i'm wasting time or missing out on potentially doing BETTER

675
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,440
than i, would be, you know like it's a need.

676
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,759
FOR me i need to be in the gym working

677
00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:02,480
out at least five days. A week i need to,

678
00:34:02,519 --> 00:34:05,640
be there And if, I'M not i, feel worse, YOU

679
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,720
know i Feel like i'm falling behind with myself AND

680
00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:09,880
where i want. To BE and i know that doesn't

681
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,559
sound good and that doesn't, sound HEALTHY but i mean

682
00:34:12,599 --> 00:34:17,159
it in the best, possible way because imagine you just decide, one,

683
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,039
DAY oh i don't feel like going to, Work today

684
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:21,039
i'm not going. To, go well now you're, Losing money

685
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,280
now you're. Falling behind you could be, you know if

686
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,280
you like your job and want to keep, doing it

687
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,559
then you could be falling behind and wanting to get.

688
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:31,119
A promotion, you, know like if you have a goal

689
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:33,280
and you want to be the best version, of yourself

690
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,880
then you need to treat the things that you don't

691
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,800
like Doing THOSE oh i have to NOT as i.

692
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,000
GET to's. I mean, i again that's a, great mentality but,

693
00:34:42,119 --> 00:34:44,079
for me it's a more of. A no i need

694
00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:48,760
to BECAUSE if i want, something GREAT if i want

695
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,920
to do, something GREAT if i want to be, something

696
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,840
great if THERE'S something i want at the end of all,

697
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,840
of IT then i need to do THE shit i

698
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:00,280
don't want, to do EVEN if i just absolutely can can't.

699
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,880
Do it if I'M if i, feel LIKE unless i

700
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:09,639
am actively sick, OR injured i need to. Do it

701
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,400
and that's the same thing. With school the same thing.

702
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,719
WITH work i need. TO go i need to do

703
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,800

Speaker 3: Yeah well.

705
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:27,559
Speaker 1: THAT'S interesting i always think like sometimes if you can

706
00:35:27,599 --> 00:35:31,639
go with a, lighter attitude and BY attitude i MEAN

707
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,039
and i don't mean to take it, more Casually what

708
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:38,480
i'm saying is not going with the. SUCH resistance i

709
00:35:38,679 --> 00:35:40,199
have to. DO this i don't want to.

710
00:35:40,199 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: DO this i. DREAD this i, YOU know i dread

711
00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:45,639
waking up On a monday morning that, boss again blah.

712
00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: Blah blah and if you can, just, go, HEY man

713
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,679
i GET to i get to go make, MONEY today

714
00:35:49,679 --> 00:35:51,519
i get to see SOME people. I like i get to,

715
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,159
you know maybe uh needle. MY boss i can make

716
00:35:55,199 --> 00:35:57,639
a joke. OR something i just, think that like that

717
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,159
softens it because, you're right you.

718
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 3: Need to you.

719
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,159
Speaker 4: NEED TO i i one hundred percent. GET that i

720
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,039
think that's a really good mentality because if you just

721
00:36:06,159 --> 00:36:10,039
keep associating it negatively WITH the i, have to, YOU

722
00:36:10,039 --> 00:36:10,920
know i don't.

723
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 3: WANT to i.

724
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 4: Dread it you're going to hate everything you're doing and

725
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,679
you're going to Put yourself you're going to make yourself.

726
00:36:18,679 --> 00:36:22,159
More depressed if you start having that appreciation, for things

727
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,679
it will make you, feel BETTER but i think. YOU

728
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,039
can i, like THAT but i love the need to

729
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,920
because it holds yourself to a. Higher standard and there

730
00:36:34,119 --> 00:36:37,000
there's the thing that something, holy shit you want to,

731
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,559
talk about something you drilled in my head holding yourself

732
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:44,239
to a. HIGHER standard i probably heard that every single

733
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,760
day for definitely for three years straight in. High, school

734
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,679
yeah and probably a lot before. Then too of you

735
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:57,000
need to hold yourself to a higher standard because you

736
00:36:57,159 --> 00:37:00,440
are better than whatever whatever. You think you are better

737
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,679
than what people may make you out. To be other

738
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,360
people can have whatever they want, about you but if

739
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,480
you hold yourself to a, higher standard everyone will see

740
00:37:08,519 --> 00:37:10,960
you at that. Higher standard they won't see the work

741
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,199
that goes, into it but they'll see.

742
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 3: The, result yeah.

743
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,679
Speaker 1: THAT'S interesting i need to revisit. THAT myself i need

744
00:37:17,679 --> 00:37:20,719
to hold myself to a. Higher, standard yeah That's that's

745
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:21,679
that's a good one to end.

746
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,159
