you so much. I am happy to be here. It's
32
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:51.000
great to be back for our second interview. Our first
33
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.640
one was over two years ago. So, like we were
34
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.040
just talking about before we started this podcast, we've known
35
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.879
each other for a few years. Always great time chatting
36
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.079
with you. I am happy to be here and excited
37
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:02.159
to get into it today.
38
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:04.439
Absolutely and Ed.
39
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:06.799
I tell everybody that this all my all the time
40
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.960
I'm with my podcast. I have four of my air
41
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.680
four guys that I keep in touch with the most.
42
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.360
It's my guys are Paulie, my guys are Ed. My
43
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:19.280
guys are Jay and Josh Mooney. So I have a four.
44
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.800
I think I have a pretty good group of guys
45
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.840
that I that are Liken Honorary brother Figure Challenge brothers.
46
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:29.080
So darn right, that's a solid group right there.
47
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.680
Absolutely absolutely. I told Wes earlier that he was part
48
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.080
of my older Challenge family as an honorary older brother.
49
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.400
He did not let the honorary older brother.
50
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.360
Parks however, Sorry, well as you think he's still young,
51
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:45.000
he is.
52
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.120
But like the thing is, I tell everybody, like the child,
53
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.159
the honorary child, like this is, these are the cast
54
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.080
members I bond forwards Eve, like when you when I
55
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.479
meet you, or when I see you on television. But
56
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.319
like one of the people I formed relationships with. Those
57
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.639
are like the best are like the Old School and
58
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.960

also Era five. I have three Era of five cousins already. Yeah,
60
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.039
m then the band Davis and Studer conscious that those
61
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:15.280

62
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.319
Oh yeah, and.
63
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:21.759
These are honorary cousins. I love my biological family. I
64
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.680
got to give my shout out to my dear mom Gloria,
65
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.120
my father, Matthew, my brother Aron, my sister in law, Wentny,
66
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.240

69
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.879
That's right. Got to give the family shout out. I'm
70
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.080
a big family guy myself, so I love a good
71
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:42.680
family man.
72
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:48.319
Jake, absolutely absolutely so. Two years my friend since we
73
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.400
last book, So how have you grown as an entrepreneur
74
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.759
since we last and fitness person since we last chattel?
75
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:03.199
There's been a lot of change since we last chatted. Gosh,
76
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.080
all right, where do we start? Well? Two years ago.
77
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.840
I don't know exactly what part of the year it
78
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.360
was when we did our podcast, but I was probably
79
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.759
either very close to getting engaged or maybe just newly engaged.
80
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.000
So depending on when the timeframe was, I got engaged
81
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:27.839
late twenty twenty three to the beautiful Miranda, as we
82
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:31.680
all know, my lovely soon to be wife. We're still
83
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.439
working on planning the wedding. It's been a while, but
84
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:37.560
we're gonna get there. In the meantime, we got our
85
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.519
house together, our step my step son, Matthew miranda son
86
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.720
turned ten. We have welcomed the beautiful baby Harley into
87
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.680
this world. She was born on fourth of July twenty
88
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.600
twenty five, so she is America's baby baby Harley, and
89
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:57.079
it's just been incredible. We really have grown so much
90
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.759
as a family over these last two years, and yeah,
91
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.600
I mean it's been busy. Like I said, we now
92
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.439
have a home together that we my dad and I
93
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.040
actually did a bunch of renovations on You should see
94
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.439
some before and after. I'll have to show you. We
95
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:18.000
knocked down walls, did the kitchen, lights, floors, a completely
96
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.279
different house than it was before. So that was busy.
97
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.560
I was doing that while we were getting ready to
98
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.240
have our baby, Harley, while I was doing the bodybuilding show,
99
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.120
while I was building a business. So I've been all
100
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.439
over the place, just been punkering down, getting stuff done,
101
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.319
and it's been a hell of a ride. But I
102
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.120
wouldn't change it for anything. I like being busy. I'm
103
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.040
a go get her, I'm a doer, so I just keep.
104
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:46.600
Doing same with me and I might go get her myself.
105
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.920
And I'm so proud of you, guys. Ed and I
106
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:55.199
have been communicating via Instagram, chat such messengers, so I've
107
00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:57.360
been showing making kids shirt that I look out and
108
00:05:57.439 --> 00:06:01.279

109

110
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.720
So I've always been proud of that.
111
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.000
That's right. I've been keeping up with your fitness journey Jake,
112
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.519
and I got to say, you are incredibly strong. I
113
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.040
don't think people realize how strong you are. It's insane.
114
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:17.839
You're an absolute powerhouse.
115
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.519
Thank you. N However, you, my friend, are our powerhouse.
116
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:26.920
And speaking of powerhouses, we have missed you on both
117
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.959
Battalty eras, the fortieth anniversary season of the show and
118
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:36.439
then recently wrapped up Challenge That's versus Me, that's any rats.
119
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.759
So what we're so what we're Do you miss being
120
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.319
part of the season of those seasons?
121
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.439
Yeah, I mean so it's kind of yes and no.
122
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.199
On like one part, like like I said, I got
123
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.800
to grow my family, Like, oh, I would not change
124
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.560
that for the world, Like my family is everything to me.
125
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.879
But there is the competitive nature side of me where
126
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.720
it's like, you know what, I kind of wanted another
127
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.240
shot getting back to it because I know how I
128
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:08.040
left on season thirty nine was just it was kind
129
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.360
of like a like a fluke accident. You know. I
130
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.839
wasn't eliminated per se. It was I think an actual
131
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.399
mess up of the harness that sent me home on
132
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.000
one of those daily challenges. So I don't think they
133
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.920
would have eliminated me otherwise. I don't think anybody was
134
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.480
gonna get me out there, no matter what it was,
135
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.879
whether it was a ope did I freeze up? Or
136
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:32.759
you still got me here?
137
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.399
I still have you. I still have you.
138
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.759
It's always with our podcast, it's always technology. No matter
139
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.639
what's happened since twenty nineteen, our technology has always done that. However,
140
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:47.360
the thing is, we're here now. And the thing that
141
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.160
I'm was a little surprised by was Era and I'm
142
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.680
gonna be blood, I'm gonna be honest.
143
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.680
Air of Force men stuck. You have the entire Era three.
144
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.600
I'm not just with with that's with that show you
145
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.040
When you have people like.
146
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:08.160
Derek and Jonathan, Potassium and Brat and Seats all in
147
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.759
the wings, all in and around, all hungry, and Corey
148
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.839
and Jordan there, I'm like, I'm sorry that you should
149
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.800
have been there, Jocephne should have been there, Jay should
150
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:19.240
have been there.
151
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:21.800
All to Polly and Herrassio.
152
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:27.000
Yeah, I know. It's crazy. It's almost like they kind
153
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:32.000
of didn't want like some animals in here afore there
154
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.440
because maybe maybe they wanted to try and give the
155
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.759
older guys a better, you know, upper hand in that one.
156
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:41.600
I feel like if they had a you know, a
157
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.159
couple more guys like me in there. Gosh, I'm just
158
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.039
it was funny. The first season I did with CT,
159
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.399
I forget what we were doing on thirty seven, and
160
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:55.080
we were doing something I don't know if it was
161
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:59.159
like a daily challenge, some elimination that involved like like
162
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:02.080
wrestling or lesion or something, and CT is like, I'll
163
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.360
go against any of you mulletuers except for you. And
164
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:07.639
he pointed at me. He was like, you kind of
165
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:09.320
scare me a little bit. And I was like, oh,
166
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:14.240
that's awesome, like recognize. So that that was funny. That
167
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.320
was that was a nice like shout out from CT there.
168
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:21.240
So I gotta say that if you got like I
169
00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.200
think T would have been fine with you because at
170
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.840
least he had somebody to back him up. But I
171
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.159
still would have paid money to see you go up
172
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:34.480
against the Jordan's and Tony's and Cory Wharton's of the world.
173
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.480
Oh yeah, yeah. And I really think, like, I'm not
174
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:41.480
tooting my own horn here, Jake, But I do think
175
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:45.480
the skill set that it takes to succeed in the challenge,
176
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.639
I do. I do think I have that skill set. Obviously,
177
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.799
you got guys like you know, Jordan or that are
178
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.519
crazy triathletes and you know, crazy distance run and swimming.
179
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.919
But it's not all about that. You gotta be well rounded.
180
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.759
And I think out of you know, all the people
181
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.879
I've ever competed against on the show, I think I'm
182
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.120
always up there as one of the most well rounded.
183
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.240
Like the way I saw puzzles do math figured things
184
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:14.679
out like some people when we were doing like daily
185
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.039
mini challenges, they were just completely baffled, like how the
186
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.360
heck did he do that so fast? And my team's
187
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.879
flying by people getting stuff done. So you know, I
188
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.159
have a lot of confidence and faith in my abilities
189
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.279
and I know if given another chance, I can do
190
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.600
very well. So maybe we'll get that shape one day.
191
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:35.159
I hope so too.
192
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.000
And forty one, we really missed having you there because
193
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.120
the thing is as much as much as I love
194
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:45.440
several of the vs, none of them gave me the new
195
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.279
My new cousins. The my new cousins ran circles around them.
196
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.960
They just saw hear me come behind and did the
197
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:58.240
THEO and Turbo and and.
198
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.600
Mikayla all the have been in the final and Turbos
199
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:02.279
case one.
200
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.200
And they beat all of them m m yep.
201
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.879
And and the thing is, it's like the the that's you.
202
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.759
I was pinned saying this, The Vets need to be
203
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.039
a retooled I know, potassium. We have to put them
204
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:16.720
in there, and see say, you gotta put him in there.
205
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.279
But you needed to be there.
206
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.679
Paula needed to be there, Zach needed to be there, Jane.
207
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:25.120
Needn't Stare need to be there, bring Sweeney Fox, I
208
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.519
need to be there, Shady Sheen, Landram. Because the thing
209
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.600
is those guys who not Yes, you have Gabe who
210
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.320
was a big challenge, and you have the Army who
211
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.360
was basically like Kirasio and Jordan combined but at the
212
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.120
same time stress getting started.
213
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.639
But like the thing is, none of them were terrified.
214
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.320
None of them were like right across We're like Pad say, okay,
215
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:48.240
we're gonna shoot our shot no matter what. There was
216
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.360
not anybody there saying, oh no, if you shoot your shot,
217
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:52.519
we're gonna have problem.
218
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:54.480
I'm gonna drag you mm hmm.
219
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.159
And I think I'm kind of in a weird situation
220
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.120
where I've only done two seasons where you know, and
221
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:03.480
something like this, the Vets first new threats. They want
222
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:06.000
the guys. They want the VET vets, the guys that
223
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.559
have been doing this for twenty seasons. So I get it.
224
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.080
You gotta bring ct you gotta bring bananas. And I
225
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.919
think that leaves a lot of people out, you know,
226
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.559
people like me that I don't know if you would
227
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:19.960
consider a VET after only two seasons. You know, I
228
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.039
might need a couple more than but they got to
229
00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:23.600
give me the opportunity to do it. Jake.
230
00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.200
That's the thing, I know, the thing that they all have.
231
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.840
Michaela there, Michaela did both two seasons as well your
232
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:32.879
thirty seven and she made a final of you on
233
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:33.720
USA two.
234
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:35.120
Mm hm.
235
00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.559
So I gotta say this, if Miguela. Look, if we
236
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:38.559
could have Michaela, we.
237
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:41.080
Couldn't have had you, Amen and amen.
238
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.759
And there was so much story involved because they could
239
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.120
also had Jay Sarraus Jed our friend got chance there
240
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.240
because he hasn't finished business with Mikayla thinks the survivor.
241
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.159
And of course he had Robin where he where Roban.
242
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.320
Injured him that and then of course you would have
243
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.879
to you probably be his shield or something like that or.
244
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:04.360
I don't know, we'll see.
245
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.440
I mean, I really hope that you and Jay are
246
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:11.039
for forwarding too. I'm really crossing my fingers you get
247
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.480
the call because in all honestly, we need some bets
248
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:17.000
that can really like I hate to agree with him,
249
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:20.200
but when Jonathan Betassium said we need vets that are
250
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.720
able to scare fear into others and light of the
251
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.240
bet single, I was hoping that you would be one
252
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.440
of them that answers that single.
253
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:27.240
On the guy's.
254
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:33.200
Side, I know my presence I think can strike fear
255
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.840
into some people. I'm not like a huge guy. I'm
256
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:40.879
only five eight, but I am a pretty big scary guy,
257
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.519
you know, big muscle, hairy bearded guy. So, uh definitely
258
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.960
wanted to strike fear into some people. I think so
259
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:51.240
some of the new people definitely, I definitely agree.
260
00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:55.600
Like speaking new people had like newth threads. Have you
261
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.679
thought about who you want to see, who want to
262
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.000
you want to go into an elimination against.
263
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.519
I mean, I feel like there's really nobody that I
264
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:09.080
would ever be, you know, like scared to go into
265
00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:12.399
an elimination with. Like it's so funny that like on
266
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.159
some seasons, like you'll be like people just so scared,
267
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.279
like oh man, Like I hope I don't see him
268
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.440
in an elimination, whereas I'm just like who cares like
269
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.399
not to be like indifferent about it, but like, I mean,
270
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.039
there is the part where anything can happen on any day.
271
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.360
But I have, like I said, so much faith and
272
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.240
confidence in my abilities that you could put me up
273
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:39.639
against anyone, throw me against Goliath, and I'm gonna come
274
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:42.879
out a champ, all right, like that, that's my attitude.
275
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.799
I got the heart of a line when I'm down
276
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:45.200
in there.
277
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.039
Alrighty, I would love to see you go up against
278
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.840
three of the Marines, because you're me who won the
279
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:55.320
show was in the Armed forces, definitely also in armed forces,
280
00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:59.000
and Will who got so much drama, was also an
281
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:00.799
as a veteran, So I would love to see you
282
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:01.960
go to toe.
283
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.039
With these guys. Oh yeah, I know there's a lot
284
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.000
of people that are big and bad, but I mean,
285
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:08.080
I don't know if we discussed this before. I have
286
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.159
a martial arts background. I grew up to a martial
287
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.600
arts for gosh, over fifteen years. I can definitely hold
288
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:19.039
my own and whether it's you know, some kind of
289
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.679
wrestling event. I mean, you saw me in the pole
290
00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:27.720
wrestle against Kyle which was unfortunate that that. I'm gonna
291
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:30.639
talk that one up to experience. I didn't know what
292
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.919
I was doing, didn't know what a pole wrestle was.
293
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.120
I had never seen the show before that, So Kyle
294
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.120
having done three pole wrestles before he knew the strategy.
295
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.360
Whether the storm and I gassed myself out, I'm not
296
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:44.159
gonna lie. I would take a new approach if I
297
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.000
were to do that again. But yeah, you live and
298
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:48.159
you learn experience.
299
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:51.799
Absolutely experience. I definitely think bad.
300
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.720
So while it was a show, while you were while
301
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.200
you were not seeing Tejan here call and your friends,
302
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.159
you actually went on a journey on your own channel
303
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.159
and your own challenge when you entered your first body
304
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.679
billion competition. So why decide that twenty twenty five would
305
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:09.720
be the year that he started his journey?
306
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.639
Yeah, I mean it's crazy. It's an idea that I've
307
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.879
been thrown around for a while. You know, when I
308
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.639
see some of my friends at the gym, everybody's like, oh,
309
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:20.600
you know, you got to do a bodybuilding show? Are
310
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.559
you ever thinking about doing one? And I always said,
311
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.679
you know, one day I'm gonna do it, Like just
312
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.639
at least try it and see what it's about. Wasn't
313
00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:32.039
expecting to do it this year, but it must have
314
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:37.360
been around May. I started like dieting down on my own.
315
00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.559
You know, I go through my bulks and my cut phases.
316
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.039
So I started dieing down, getting a little cut up,
317
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.840
getting shredded. And a guy who I see often at
318
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:48.080
the gym. His name's Ant. He's a little bit older,
319
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.919
he's fifty seven or he's in his fifties, but he's
320
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.159
from town. He knew my parents and everything, and I
321
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:58.080
would always see him in the gym, him and his son.
322
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.279
He trained his son for power. It comes up to
323
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:04.279
me one day he goes ed, like, you really got
324
00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.680
to do a bodybuilding competition, Like you're lean enough man,
325
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:09.720
Like you're a few months out like I would say
326
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.880
from stepping on stage. And I'm like, aunt, no way,
327
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.559
Like I gotta be way bigger, get way leaner, Like
328
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:17.960
I need a year or two to even think about
329
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:20.599
doing it. He's like, no, no, no, like, let me
330
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:22.799
train you. Because he had done bodybuilding shows. He was
331
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.079
a big time competitor in like the nineties two thousand's,
332
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.160
so he has a lot of experience in bodybuilding. He's like, no, no, no,
333
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.000
there's a show coming up two months, I'm gonna have
334
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.200
you ready, you want to do it? And I'm like,
335
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.480
all right, you know what, screw it, We're gonna do it.
336
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.799
Like instead of me just keep talking about it, let's
337
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.519
be about it. So right around June we started training
338
00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.839
for the show. The show was actually on my birthday,
339
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.200
August ninth, so we had just over two months to
340
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.359
train June, July and the first week of August. And
341
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.599
it was probably one of the hardest things I've ever
342
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.759
done in my life because I know how to diet down,
343
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:03.400
you know, for me to get cut up, but the
344
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.599
body building, extreme leanness that you need to get to
345
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:12.799
the minimal amounts of food was brand new to me
346
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:16.640
as a grown man, only eating like eighteen hundred calories
347
00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:21.519
a day for months. Oh, I was starving. I was miserable.
348
00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:24.680
I had no energy, waking up extra early in the
349
00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:26.960
morning to get my cardio in and then go lift
350
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:30.160
late lift weights later at night. I had to practice
351
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.039
all different posing because you know, when you're up on stage,
352
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.599
you got to know how to pose. You can't look
353
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.200
like a buffoon up there. So there was way more
354
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:42.319
involved than I had thought. Every single thing that I
355
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:45.599
ate drank, didn't matter. I'm measuring, weighing it out on
356
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:49.799
the scale, food prepping every night. It was a real
357
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.200
hassle to do, but yeah, it takes a lot of dedication.
358
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:55.079
Those guys who do it full time, God bless them,
359
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.160
because it really is a full time job to try
360
00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:02.359
and work a full time job and bodybuild. While we
361
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.920
were preparing for our baby, Miranda at the time was
362
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.599
eight nine months pregnant with Harley. Harley was do July fourth, well,
363
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:12.799
she was due later and she was born early on
364
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:16.720
July fourth, so we had the baby, and that I
365
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:20.160
still had four or five weeks before the show. So
366
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.200
first I wasn't sleeping because I was just starving all
367
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:25.480
the time. Your body wakes yourself up to try and
368
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:28.000
you know, go get food. It's a survival thing. And
369
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:29.920
then I'm not sleeping because of the baby, and We're
370
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:32.680
both waking up and we're tired and we're miserable, and
371
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.839
I'm like, all right, we're almost there. We just got
372
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:37.400
to do this. But it was one of the most
373
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.799
incredible journeys I've ever been on because I've never thought
374
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.559
that I could push my body to that limit. I
375
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:48.400
showed up in insane condition. Just the amount of fat
376
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.119
on my body was minimal. You could see every muscle
377
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.200
and strigation in vain, and I was so proud of
378
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:58.200
what we were able to accomplish in that short time.
379
00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:59.839
It was really really something this.
380
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:03.880
And seriously and he looks like, oh my god, it
381
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:05.640
looks like you are a Marble superhero.
382
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:08.119
And I told you and I came to add the
383
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:09.200
hercules nickname.
384
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:13.480
Oh my gosh. Yeah, I mean that's how I felt
385
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:15.759
standing up on stage. I was having fun with it too.
386
00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:17.960
It was crazy. You could see guys up there that
387
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:21.799
looked like they were just not having fun. But I'm
388
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.440
up there, I'm like smiling, I'm like waving to the
389
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.200
crowd while I'm doing my poses. So I had a
390
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:29.440
good time with it. I enjoyed it, and it was
391
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.160
you know, maybe I'll do it again someday, But right now,
392
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:35.640
we got to focus on family, focus on work, focus
393
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.000
on business. There's a lot of other things going on,
394
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:40.920
so take a little little bit of a break. I mean,
395
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.359
I'm still lifting, don't get me wrong, I'm still bodybuilding,
396
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.839
just not competing anytime soon. I should say.
397
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:50.480
Yeah, And by the way, we can, I can definitely
398
00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:52.720
see some of the challengers come up and like do
399
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.359
like you would see. I would love to see Mark
400
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:55.880
Long get.
401
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.559
His pro card one day. He's like, yeah, he's ready
402
00:20:58.559 --> 00:20:58.799
for it.
403
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:02.319
There are some some challenge bodybuilders. I mean Mark Long's
404
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:05.799
one of them. Another chauncy a Lot He's about to
405
00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:07.200
do a bodybuilding competition.
406
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.640
Good for Chauncey. And it is every time I look
407
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:12.279
at it, I really look at the time. I see
408
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:16.440
Brad's Instagram and I'm like, yes, videos like he's already doing.
409
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:18.480
I'm like, okay, Brad, I see, yeah.
410
00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:20.799
You can step on stage. He's another one that's yeah,
411
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:22.440
very very great.
412
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.480
I could also see Derek grow and step on stage
413
00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:25.880
as well.
414
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:28.759
Yeah, I know we should do a little, a little
415
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:34.839
challenge bodybuilding show. I think that would be fun. Do
416
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:36.160
a little that would.
417
00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:36.559
Be fun too.
418
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:40.559
Like I thinking if Zach is like exactly, like if
419
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.359
every of the major podcasters and challenge manias that Zach
420
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:48.720
Nichols and everybody, and like I would, I would try
421
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.039
to do my with I want to compete, but like
422
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.400
I could also I can host it because I would
423
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:54.799
be the host.
424
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.200
I think we.
425
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.240
Could all pick one show and say, you know, we're
426
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:02.279
all going to meet up here whatever and do the
427
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.279
whatever show of twenty twenty seven and make it happen.
428
00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:09.240
It can be like a big challenge reunion party, have
429
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.640
ten of us up on stage battling to see who
430
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:13.400
the best challenge.
431
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:15.880
Seriously, I would love to see someone go up against
432
00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:18.720
Jenny like Jenny would definitely be on the on the
433
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:19.279
women's side.
434
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.119
I think she built me.
435
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:26.079
Yeah, Jenny is definitely. I always wanted to see you
436
00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:27.880
and Jenny shared the screen together.
437
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:32.240
Yeah, she she is built. I don't know if there's
438
00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:35.599
another girl that would be able to.
439
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:38.559
I think that you could do it. I think Laka
440
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:39.079
could be one.
441
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:44.599
Yeahs a big time bodybuilder.
442
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.839
Oh yeah now yeah we've been in it's been years
443
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:50.559
since we've seen No.
444
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:53.880
Yeah, yeah, it'd be good.
445
00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.440
It'd be good.
446
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.680
So it'd be a great one. And also Rogan as
447
00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:57.640
well to throw.
448
00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:00.400
Is the rep.
449
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:06.640
Yeah, get all the big guys together and see what happens.
450
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:09.720
I think it'd be fun. It would be a really
451
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:10.720
really neat thing to do.
452
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:15.920
Alrighty, So, speaking of new ventures, besides bodybuilding, you've also
453
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:19.880
done E three supplements, So what so.
454
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.559
When did you get the idea of E three.
455
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.079
So E three has been in the works for a
456
00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:30.759
while now. I a few years ago started kind of
457
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:34.640
coming up with my own you know formula for like
458
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:37.319
a like a protein supplement. I originally wanted to do
459
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:40.519
like a protein juice drenth. Now there's a lot of
460
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.720
them out there, but at the time there really wasn't
461
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:47.799
anything but to go and do that. It's a little
462
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:51.200
bit more expensive. You got to you know, make bottled drinks,
463
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:54.759
and the shipping of all that weight it's a lot.
464
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:58.200
So I ended up going to a different route with it.
465
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.480
I partnered up with a guy who I actually met
466
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:05.480
through my mom. He's an older guy, Jim. He's sixty
467
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:08.599
sixty one or sixty two. He's in great shape though,
468
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:12.519
loves health and fitness, and he actually had his own
469
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:16.839
little business doing like a keto supplement, and I had
470
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.039
talked to him in the past years ago, like Yo, Jim,
471
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:21.359
I host thought about doing my own you know, maybe
472
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:26.359
protein line pre workout line, Like I started developing these
473
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:28.839
supplements at the time, coming up with my own formulas,
474
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.079
and he's like, well, you know what, maybe we can
475
00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:34.400
kind of join ventures here and we'll start a company.
476
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.680
We'll really do this so we did. We founded E
477
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:42.279
three Supplements. I developed the formula for our protein powder,
478
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:48.440
our pre workout powder. We improved his keto formula a bit,
479
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:52.079
and then we also just came out with a fourth supplement, creatine,
480
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:56.200
So creatins of one, you know ingredient supplement. Wasn't anything
481
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:59.599
crazy to develop that, but uh yeah, no, we now
482
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:04.039
have four products in the works and they are for sale.
483
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.440
But yeah, it's been a hell of a process because
484
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.039
before this, I was not a business man. I was
485
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.319
an engineer. I'm a mechanical engineer, you know, by day,
486
00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:18.599
but a fitness enthusiast by night. So I always knew
487
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:23.240
that I wanted to venture into fitness somehow someway, and
488
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:28.960
I started like really getting into supplements, probably around college,
489
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:32.440
maybe I was like nineteen or twenty, and that's when
490
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.359
I started researching, you know, what is createam like, you know,
491
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:39.119
should I be taking fish oil? And then I just
492
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:42.039
started snowballing and I became a big health and fitness
493
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:44.960
guru and just loved research and supplements. So I wanted
494
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.279
to come up with my own that are better than
495
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:49.880
the ones out on the market, because a lot of
496
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.359
the stuff on the market is like junk. I hate
497
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:56.480
to say it, but there's a lot of like nonsense
498
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:04.920
in them ingredients you don't need, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, thickeners, emulsifiers,
499
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:09.039
all these additives that just make it not really a
500
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.599
health supplement anymore. So I'm like, all right, I want
501
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.319
to do something that's clean, that's healthy, that will make
502
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.119
people feel good. And I want to put the ingredients
503
00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.119
that I want in there because I know there's some people,
504
00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:24.640
including me, that really never would take pre workout because
505
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:27.440
a lot of pre workouts have ingredients that make you
506
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.640
get real hot and itchy and tingly, and I knew
507
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:32.720
I wanted to do a pre workout that didn't have
508
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:35.240
that stuff. I'm like, look, I want the energy, I
509
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.680
want the focus, I want the pump, I want the drive,
510
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:40.240
But I don't want to feel like my skin's like
511
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:42.799
red and itchy when I'm working out. I don't like
512
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:46.680
that feeling. So I purposely designed it to be, you know,
513
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:50.039
a supplement that I would want to take, which I
514
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:54.359
think is you know way better because you go out
515
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:56.400
and you buy stuff and you don't know if you're
516
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.480
gonna like it. So I tried pretty much every supplement
517
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:01.759
out there. I know what I like, I know what
518
00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:04.960
I don't like, and I designed the formulas specifically to
519
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:10.559
be effective and just clean, healthy, good stuff, you know,
520
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:11.920
I know.
521
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:14.559
And also the thing is, my coaches have said, we
522
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:16.799
do not want you bouncing off the walls, and no,
523
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:18.960
we workout for you.
524
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:22.720
Yeah, and some of them are dangerous. You don't realize
525
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:25.920
that some of them have like three to four hundred
526
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.119
milligrams of caffeine per scoop, and if you're given that
527
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:32.880
to teenagers, some of them are putting two three scoops
528
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:36.359
in there, really really not safe for your heart. So
529
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:39.279
you got to be careful with some of the pre workouts.
530
00:27:39.559 --> 00:27:42.480
I dialed ours back a little bit purposely. I don't
531
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.559
want people, you know, taking four hundred milligrams of caffeine,
532
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.680
and in one scoop it's four hundred milligrams of caffeine
533
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:50.400
that should be your upper limit for the day.
534
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:51.559
I'm not.
535
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:55.759
And here's the thing, like i'd started little, here's the
536
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:58.920
thing with caffeine, I'm very careful with my cap with
537
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.440
my caffeine into like I have a cool brew with
538
00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:04.319
albon milk, and then I've been like being very careful
539
00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:06.759
with the zero because one of the things that add
540
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:09.480
did a really good job with is that if you
541
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:12.039
guys go back on this Instagram, there's.
542
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:16.039
A video of Aed showing how much sugar there is
543
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:16.680
in jelly.
544
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.880
Oh my I and boy I was My jaw dropped
545
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.240
to the floor and I'm like, oh great, I've cut
546
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:25.400
out jelly to say the least.
547
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:31.400
Yeah, it's crazy when you see it in like real time,
548
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.680
like you pouring the sugar in a glass and you're like,
549
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.319
that's how much is in this? So I really opted
550
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:42.200
out for sugar free everything now. I mean with me,
551
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.920
one of my favorites is sugar free maple syrup if
552
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:47.720
you need to put some flavor on something, And that's
553
00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:50.359
what I used a lot for my body building diet
554
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:53.240
prep because I'd be eating a lot of potatoes, you know,
555
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:58.759
sweet potatoes. They're foods that are very filling, Like you
556
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:03.000
can eat so many potatoes, but there's really minimal calories
557
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:05.759
in them, so so you just kind of eat them
558
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:08.720
to fill your belly. Well, you gotta make them go
559
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:11.839
down somehow, So I'd pour sugar free maple syrup on there,
560
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:14.079
and then all of a sudden they tasted like dessert.
561
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.599
So little swaps like that where a little spoonful of
562
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:20.000
maple syrup is one hundred calories a bunch of sugar
563
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:23.920
use the sugar free. Same with jelly. I mean simple swaps.
564
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:27.119
Even the thing is I've stopped doing like even though
565
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:29.599
I've gotten sodas, but I gotten very careful and the
566
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.880
only sodas I've done are Coke zero, Yu Coo zero
567
00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:36.319
and Sprite zero. Those are the only and the also
568
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:39.519
especially with power Aide, I love a good Powerade zero,
569
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:42.400
don Gatorade zero, those like those a main. I made
570
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:44.680
sure to look for them in the supermarket when the
571
00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:45.880
ground them on sale.
572
00:29:46.039 --> 00:29:48.319
And I've also been very helpful when it to curb
573
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:49.079
my appetite.
574
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.799
I always try to have at least an apple before
575
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.759
halfway between my break fifteen minute break and.
576
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:59.079
My lunch yup. Fruits and veggies are absolutely amazing. But
577
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.200
it's funny you say that about the soda. I don't
578
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:06.000
drink much soda. And during my bodybuilding perhaps my coach
579
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.279
goes here have this like as a treat and it
580
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:12.759
was a zero calorie doctor pepper black cherry, I think
581
00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:16.119
it was, And I'm like, ah, I don't normally drink soda,
582
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.880
but you know, zero calorie, no sugar. Let me try it.
583
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.079
It was delicious. It tasted like a regular soda. I'm like,
584
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:25.160
why isn't everybody drinking this? Why are people still drinking
585
00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:28.160
full sugar sodas? Like it's insane to me. It blows
586
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:31.200
my mind that they can make this, you know, no sugar,
587
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.240
no calories. And then people are still choosing to have
588
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:37.920
the Mountain Dew with seventy five grams of sugar. That's
589
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:40.400
like two or three times what your daily limit should be,
590
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.079
and they're kicking that back in one soda. Some people
591
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:44.960
are having four or five of those a day. Oh
592
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:45.960
bay it.
593
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:49.680
Yeah, I'm making sure I've been drinking lots of water.
594
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:54.599
And also my coach is they made a big said, Jacob,
595
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.759
do not get your food food drinks. So that's the
596
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:00.720
way that milk, the ice milk is everything. And I
597
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.400
haven't had a booby dream like all the past couple
598
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.599
of weeks or maybe mon.
599
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:09.920
Yeah, you know what I do. Now, I'll do like
600
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:12.720
a little black coffee in the morning, but I'll mix
601
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.039
it because now I'm bulking. I want to gain some weight,
602
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:17.759
so I'll mix it with like a glass of milk.
603
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:21.519
I use my milk as like my coffee creamer, and
604
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:26.839
I just have half coffee half milk, so it's no sugar,
605
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:29.599
but I'm getting the calories, I'm getting the protein, I'm
606
00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:30.839
getting my coffee energy.
607
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:34.359
Absolutely I need to find it. I need to find
608
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:36.960
a recipe for coffee because I cannot be addicted to
609
00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:41.440
the monster coffees, the job of monsters that I'm looking
610
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:44.039
at the sugar at When I was very tired one
611
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.279
day at work and I was like, oh my god.
612
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:50.519
Yeah, once you start reading those nutrition labels, it's an
613
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:51.640
eye opener.
614
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:55.960
Absolutely, absolutely, So I gotta say this, guys, and has
615
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.680
always done really good videos and really good content. So
616
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.599
what is some of the strategies that you've used to
617
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:06.079
increase your audience? Because I tried snapchup in a line
618
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:07.720
to me and that doesn't work, but you have been
619
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:09.880
able to have five thousand.
620
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:13.319
I don't know. I mean, I just feel like I
621
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:16.880
post a lot of silly stuff. A lot of it
622
00:32:16.960 --> 00:32:20.680
is informational, though I like to post it in my
623
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:23.240
own way. Even if it is something that's, you know,
624
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:27.880
important information, like explaining something to people, I still just
625
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.640
try and like make it fun and like speak as
626
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:33.319
like how I normally speak. You know, I'm allowed energetic guy.
627
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:37.240
So if I'm like explaining something scientific, I still try
628
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:40.039
and make it fun and enjoyable that people want to watch,
629
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:42.559
and I play around with it. I mean, I try
630
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:44.839
all different types of stuff. I try, you know, the
631
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.039
weightlifting content, to supplements content, to food content. Lately, I've
632
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:52.160
been doing a lot of dad content now that we
633
00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.160
have our new daughter, and that's been taken off too,
634
00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:57.759
So I mean there's an audience for everything. I just
635
00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:00.359
you know, some people say, fine, your knee, you should
636
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:03.000
stick to that, but I just kind of rapid fire
637
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:04.519
everything and anything out there.
638
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:06.240
And you're doing great.
639
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:09.240
Which, by the way, I'm a little nervous because if
640
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:11.920
we accompany the Challenge is around a couple of years later,
641
00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:15.359
we're going to have Challenge the next Generation, and I'm like,
642
00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:17.240
oh boy, this is going to get ugly.
643
00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:21.039
This is going to get personal. Because the thing is, you.
644
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:23.920
Know that MTV is going to be like or whatever,
645
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:28.440
burnham Burg is going to be like, we have all
646
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:32.799
of these Challenge next generations, let's put them all together
647
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:33.599
and see what happens.
648
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:36.480
We joked around about that, you know, my steps on
649
00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.119
mattdew he's ten now, and uh, we said, you know,
650
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.279
maybe one day you'll be on the challenge too, or
651
00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:44.480
what if there was a kid's challenge, And I think,
652
00:33:44.519 --> 00:33:47.440
you know, now a lot of challengers are having kids
653
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:50.240
and some of them are getting older, they might seriously
654
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:50.920
consider that.
655
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:55.599
Absolutely, I have a feeling it's going to be interesting
656
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:59.640
seeing Derek's son, Derek Kazinski Junior lead the pack as
657
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:00.440
the thief the.
658
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.599
Bunch Yuh yeah, he's an athlete.
659
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.680
Oh yeah. Like the thing is, it's like it's gonna
660
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:07.680
be fun for the viewers.
661
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:10.239
But I'm also a little nervous and terrified at the
662
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:12.039
same time because I know I do not want to
663
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:16.119
see friendships great because I've always thought like if they
664
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:18.920
were doing like if they were going to that next
665
00:34:18.920 --> 00:34:22.639
generation thing, I have the parents in a separate area.
666
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:27.920
Oh yeah, because you cannot let the k the parents
667
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:30.760
manipulate what's going on with the kiddos.
668
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:35.280
Yeah, oh I know too, But parents, I would get,
669
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:38.199
you know, ticked off at some stuff because in the
670
00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:41.679
in the challenge, like yeah, if you screw me over whatever,
671
00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:44.239
I'll get over it, But like you screw my kid over,
672
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:47.679
I'm getting pissed. You know I'm coming after you, buddy.
673
00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:51.239
Yeah, I would definitely make great television.
674
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:55.519
However, let's hope it's around the twenty thirties and we
675
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:56.719
see that because.
676
00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:58.480
Yeah, yeah, maybe once they're a little bit older.
677
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:01.679
Yeah, because I don't want I don't want to see
678
00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:04.400
them have like I know the Survivor Now, I know
679
00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.639
that Jeff Props really wants to do Survivor Next Generation
680
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.480
and put the castaways with their giddos. But at the
681
00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:14.320
same time, that's that's there. Those are open that you
682
00:35:14.360 --> 00:35:16.159
cannot just open the can of worms like that.
683
00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:22.480
Yeah, all right, imagine the Are you with that? All right?
684
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:23.360
My friends?
685
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:26.039
So as we started winding down our conversation, I want
686
00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.639
to go back to E three and say, why should
687
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:33.039
my audience consider using E three supplements in their health
688
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:33.960
and wellness journey?
689
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:38.079
Yeah? Well, like I said, I mean I specifically developed
690
00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:42.199
these formulas to be supplements that I would want to use. So,
691
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:48.119
for example, take our protein powder. There is no artificial colors,
692
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:53.559
no artificial flavors, no preservatives. It is very very bare bones,
693
00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:59.159
but but clean. We have way protein isolate, which, per
694
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:03.679
the different and proteins out there, has the highest protein,
695
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.880
lowest carbohydrate and lowest fat content. The way isolate is
696
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:12.360
easiest on your digestive system. I purposely picked ingredients that
697
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:16.159
would be easy to digest, easy to absorb. So we
698
00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:19.599
have our way isolate, we have electrolytes, we have our
699
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:23.599
special ingredient that's in a few of our supplements from
700
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:26.119
this company. And then be Nutrition they make a supplement
701
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:29.920
called mito burn which increases the amount of calories that
702
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:32.320
your body burns throughout the day. So we have that
703
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:36.079
in our protein powder. It's all very very you know,
704
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:39.039
good for you, but it's low calorie. What other protein
705
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:40.920
do you know out there that comes in at under
706
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:45.079
one hundred calories? It's crazy, So it's it's very effective,
707
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:48.920
it's low calorie, it's healthy, it's clean. There's no, like
708
00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:52.760
I said, artificial junk and nonsense and fillers and predurvatives.
709
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.280
It's not in there. So when you take a swig
710
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:57.760
of our protein, you can go run a marathon after
711
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:01.000
where sometimes you take a protein drink and oh it's
712
00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:03.480
sits in your stomach and you feel sluggish, like you
713
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:08.639
could throw up. Doesn't happen with ours, clean stuff, high quality,
714
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:13.000
and you gotta try it. For yourself, because everybody who
715
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.840
tries it, they're like, Wow, this really is good stuff.
716
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:19.440
I said, yeah, I'm not just joking around about this,
717
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:22.840
like I really designed an equality supplement because I feel
718
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:25.719
like the market was lacking them.
719
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:28.159
I totally agree with you and I totally agree with that.
720
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.800
And also last question, are you ready?
721
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:31.760
Yep?
