Actually, I'm going to share the story of why. This is not why I started 75 hard, but one time george and I were in sydney and I actually got a donut for breakfast. It cost me six bucks. It was the best damn donut I've ever had and george was very disappointed.
Speaker 2:Biscoff oh yeah, I know right, apparently they're called mcpops. Mcpops, yeah, they come in like a nine pack. You can get like three of each when you get off this carnival diet. We're going to go, I'm going to go get some. You have some, I'll have some. I'll have eight, I'll have one.
Speaker 1:I just want one of each, but apparently the next level is just like six. Donuts are one of my favorites, me too.
Speaker 2:I love donuts, but I just never bring. I'm going backwards ridiculously, I don't know why.
Speaker 1:It's worse. I was actually telling the story about how you were extremely disappointed that they had a donut.
Speaker 2:I couldn't believe it. No wonder you were 10 kilos heavier back then. Yeah, I called you up. I remember we're at downstairs cafe and you're like, oh, we're just ordering coffees.
Speaker 1:I'm like I'll call a coffee. You looked at me in disgust.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was like for breakfast. This is like morning 8.30.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but that was Dude. When I was a mechanic, my breakfast of champions was a donut and a Red Bull.
Speaker 2:I can't believe how, like I being a builder and a Siggy, I was on site. Oh, you did it Me. Donut Red Bull, siggy, did you tell me? Yeah, you did too. Smoker. No, you can't think of it. Sausage roll Red Bull, siggy Fuck that's the epitome of health, isn't it?

Speaker 1:I've done that. I've lived that life. Have you really? Yeah, I've lived that life where you're like hey, I need a mother every day, like a big cat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that, I've lived that. I've worked on sites. I've worked.
Speaker 2:I couldn't, I don't know, I just could not fathom to drink that much sugar and shit in your body in one fucking day and day in, day out. It's not like Every day.
Speaker 1:It's every fucking day. I used to have every a Kit Kat and a mother. Oh my goodness, dude Kit Kat from the vending machine. The vending machine was chilled. Yeah, kit Kat, chunky, sick. I love chocolate. Kit Kat, by the way, belongs in the fridge. Look, a lot of that stuff can work really well in the fridge. Yeah, kit Kat belongs in the fridge. Trust me, if you're not doing Kit Kat in the fridge and you're thinking what? Just listen to get your shit together, go put your keycap in the fridge. You'll thank me later. Same thing with your Tim Tams. Oh, tim Tams. I love Tim Tams. Tim Tams are so good. You know what, though? Like? What's your favourite dessert? Oh man, this is a good topic, is it? I'm fucking having it eaten.
Speaker 2:I know, but also I was listening to a previous podcast and you were saying how much you're missing sweets at the moment.
Speaker 1:on the carnival diet, I've got this new thing that I do now. I buy a big block of cheese Colby cheese and I slice off a big rectangle and then I drizzle it in honey. Oh, yes, I could say that ridiculously good. That's the only carnival sweet. Wow, there you go.
Speaker 2:My favorite dessert I mean I've always loved an apple pie, Don't know why. So my favorite dessert. I mean I've always loved an apple pie, Don't know why I've always what?
Speaker 2:is apple pie? Oh no, no, like one at a restaurant or a cafe. Like a proper yeah, a proper one. I've always liked those. You know what, if I had to say honestly just yeah, donuts. A donut is just like hot jam donuts. How do you go past it? Oh no, I don't like jam donuts. Nah, jam's the one. How do you go With? Like lots of cinnamon.
Speaker 1:I'm not a big fan of jam.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I don't mind it. I don't mind it. Eat a donut, I'd eat it. I like ice cream. Oh yeah, ice cream. Ice cream, like where you get to the self-serve stuff. Yeah, I'm the sort of guy to go there. There's one that's down here, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's been there from the start of the 75th. I don't read it, it's okay. It's all right, but it's not the best one. Yeah, you go to you know like, ye oh my Goodness the burger place. Ye oh my Goodness, no, you, yeah, they're good. Yeah, sick burgers. Max, I make a pretty good burger, max Macca's. Nah, this is Yomai's a pretty good burger. Cool, but they also have a frozen, I'll go nil you can't. I just have no bread.
Speaker 2:Just the meat yeah.
Speaker 1:Just give me meat and cheese. Just give me. Just give me 43 patties. Just give me 43 patties. Watch this guy the other day doing a carnival. I ate 10 quarter pound of patties. Go to Smackers what was? 10 quarter pound of patty? No good. Anyway, they've got the best frozen yogurt toppings and when I go there I leave with like a $24 frozen yogurt. You know they weigh it Everyone's like $6, $1, $24. And then I eat the whole thing and feel sick. It's sick. I miss that so much, man, but that's the price you pay if you want to be skinny.
Speaker 2:That's right though it is, it's discipline, isn't it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, because it's easy.
Speaker 2:It's easy to fucking eat all that stuff. It's also the best, yes, but there's consequences to everything, isn't there? But you know what? Because lately I've been thinking about it, just trying to I don't know if I would do the full carnivore diet, but eating a lot more meat and having just meat, do animal based what?
Speaker 1:do you mean? How does that work? So it's meat, dairy and fruits? Oh, okay, yeah. So no carbs, no veggies, no veggies.
Speaker 2:But I don't know why. Why.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you why this is. Well, I don't know if this is, let me preach. I'm not a nutritionist. I don't do what I do After a vegan, kit Kat and a Ziggy. I'm definitely not a nutritionist. But the whole thing is you know how they spray plants with pesticides? Yeah, a lot of vegetables are grown in the ground, right? Yeah, and they're sprayed with pesticides to keep them safe from bugs, etc. Yeah, and the whole thing around it. They reckon the vegetables that are grown today because they're sprayed with so much pesticides that the vegetables it's a living thing, right? A plant is a living thing and its defense mechanism is to release toxins to protect it from the pesticides? Yeah, right. So they reckon vegetables supposedly are not that good for you. Yeah, right, they reckon vegetables supposedly are not that good for you. Yeah, I'd actually believe that. Yeah, it's a very believable theory.
Speaker 2:It makes a lot of sense. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. I don't know what the whole thing is, and he's eating seasonal as well, so it's like eating in the season. So our bodies, if you think about it, so say mangoes are only available in summer, but we can get mangoes all year round.
Speaker 2:We can. Yeah as in, like, if you want, you can probably go buy a mango right now it might cost you $10 because they've got to. You know, freeze it, do whatever you've got to do, but it's available to you. Or like even oranges, anything.
Speaker 1:Pineapples you can buy these all year round, all these fruits but if you eat them as per the season, like the, the food that grows in winter, you eat that food. Why?
Speaker 2:there's a biological thing behind it, science behind it, what like we're on this part of the yeah so say, say no, no. Say yeah, no, no in the sense that say, during winter we need more vitamin c so we can have that, and then in summer, the mangoes, the pineapples, have the nutritions that we need during the summer months. So you eat as per the season, not as per, because that's what back in the day, caveman days we wouldn't have been able to grow pineapples all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So it's eating with the seasons, that's this whole thing around the animal-based diet. Yeah, exactly, it's a similar concept. It's kind of going back to's kind of going back to how we used to eat.
Speaker 2:And it's like, man, you pick up most of the foods these days, right, and you look at the packaging and what ingredients are in it. Man, some of this shit is like what is this, what is it? Yeah, and we're actually eating it.
Speaker 1:It's like it's an actual chemical. It's got chemicals. Yeah, it's a whole bunch of words I can't pronounce. You can't pronounce it. And it's in there and you're eating it, yeah you're like I'm gonna put this in my body.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like my son the other day went on school camp and he's like he goes. I really like this um cereal because I don't know what it was called he goes. Can I come to the um supermarket with you? I was able to look at it. I said, yeah, yeah, cool. I was like, all right, cool, get a packet, that's fine. Did you get sick? Yeah, but you open it, you look at it and it's like I was looking at the packet, at what was in it, and oh man, I'm just looking at it and going this is, this is not good.
Speaker 2:Why would I want to give my son this? You know, why would I ever want to have, you know, even the kitkats? What's in the kitkat? Yeah, you got the chocolate, you got the wafer, you got like, but what else is in all the other crap? None of that stuff is good for you.
Speaker 2:Um, I'm fine because there's this guy I randomly came across about the carnivore diet and he was saying how, ever since he's gone carnivore, he's um, you know, he's obviously dropped a lot of weight. His joints don't hurt anymore, like he was saying all the benefits as a result of him in a short amount of time, mind you like in 15 months or whatever it was, his body's just changed completely his mindset, everything, his mental clarity, all that sort of shit. I believe a lot of how you act and move as a human being comes down to what you put in your mouth, especially as you get older. Maybe it's okay when you're younger to a degree, but as you get older, I think it's definitely more important, because you're not as strong as you get older. I think it's definitely more important Because you're not as strong as you get older. You don't bounce back. Think about it with alcohol. Do you drink much? I drink very little. I can't even tell you the last time I was drunk.
Speaker 1:Couldn't even tell you. I've never even tell you. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, you don't. I've never seen you drinking here. If we go out, yeah like I'll see you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'll have a couple of drinks, that's about it, and it's generally a CC, that's generally. Or a scotch or something. That's generally what I'll have. But to go out, say, we went out with the boys and it was going year. It was earlier in the year. I had a night out with some mates. We had a few drinks but regardless, when I did that when I was 20, I would have a night out and go to work the next day.
Speaker 2:Be totally fine. Now you have a drink and it's like you're ridden off for the next three days because your body doesn't bounce back the same way it used to. So I think that's to a degree the same with your nutrition and what you're putting into your body. And now I try and make a lot more healthier decisions when I'm eating food. You know, I can't remember the last time I had Maccas. I can't remember the last time I had KFC or anything like that. I just don't eat those foods and I can definitely see the benefit of having good nutrition and how it affects me mentally and physically in my life.
Speaker 1:Good foods good me mentally and physically in my life.
Speaker 2:Good foods, good, oh, it's, it's. It's almost like a, a cheat code. You know what I mean is it like? Yeah, I do. I think it is because I see myself right. This is something that I had to come to terms with too. I remember when I did my first Builders Summit, I was probably I was at least six kilos heavier.
Speaker 1:Than what you are now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think so. No, I was. I was early, eight, nineties, ninety-one, ninety-two, hovering around that. Now I'm eighty-seven, eighty-eight, somewhere there I hover at the moment but I made the decision. I was like look, I'm standing in front of people. I'm saying you need to be a high performer, you need to be this, you need to be this, you need to be really good, you need to be committed, you need to be disciplined. It's not easy, but if you do the work, you're going to get the results. And I felt hypocritical because, even though I was doing that in the business world, I wasn't doing that with myself, and that's when I made the decision. I've got to get into much better shape so I can stand up in front of people looking like everything I'm preaching do you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:and like, when have you ever seen someone that's in great physical shape and be like, oh, he just doesn't have. Oh, he doesn't have his shit together. He doesn't have his shit together? It's a real alpha move. I believe to be fit and strong, and especially even at my age, where everyone has bought into oh, it's just now, I'm allowed to have a dad bod. I'm allowed, I'm 40. I've got two kids. I'm allowed to have a dad bod. That's fine. Then you walk out and you're the only bloke with six pack or you're the only bloke that can lift this heavy piece of whatever, because you're the strongest. That, to me, is a real alpha move. That's a real player move.
Speaker 2:I look at it even from another perspective and going, when I see someone that's significantly overweight, I'll be like, as you said, how you do. One thing is how you do everything. Are you really a high performer? There's this one guy. He's a builder in the States and he gives some amazing advice, really successful, really like. I wanted to reach out to him and have a chat, but the guy is significantly overweight and I'm like dude, you're not practicing what you're preaching. Yeah, I'm sure you're a great builder, I'm sure you're all these things, but have you looked in the mirror? You're not disciplined in all aspects of your life. For that reason, I think a fitter version of you would do 10 times the amount of work that you're doing now. As in from turnover revenue, whatever it is profits would do 10 times more, but you're giving into those vices. We spoke a little bit about vices last episode. You're giving into that. We spoke a little bit about Vice's last episode.
Speaker 1:You're giving into that. Yeah, it's the definition of elite, right? This is what we call, or what I refer to as someone who is a master at all spaces, all aspects, avenues, pillars, call all you want, but they don't just have one thing down pat. They've got their health, they've got their relationships, they've got their mindset, they're emotionally regulated, they are fit, they are healthy, they get money, giving everything, every aspect.
Speaker 2:And I think a lot of it begins with your health.
Speaker 2:Well, if you're not healthy though it all that's right, even if you're in a bad spot at the moment. Right, health-wise yeah, no, no. Mindset-wise, financially any way. Say you're struggling with mental health. A few people say this Well, just go to the gym. Go to the gym. People are saying if you've got bad mental health, you should go speak to someone about it. There's other people saying, no, no, don't do that. Go to the gym. Go and work out, go and exercise If that's what you have to do. If there's nowhere for you to go, you can't afford a psychologist. You can't speak to anyone about it. Go to the gym.
Speaker 2:It's like thinking your way out of mental health problems is like snorting your way through a drug addiction. You know what I mean. You're trying to think about how I can think about being better. No, go to the gym. Go, release proper chemicals in your body that are going to make you feel better. Go and have something that's going to give you some discipline and some structure in your life. Start eating healthier. All of a sudden, your body will feel better. The physiology yeah, the physiology your brains, the chemicals, everything's going to change, and then that one thing leads to something else, leads to something else, leads to something else and then eventually, yeah, you see the change in your body, you see the change in your life, you see the change at your work, you see the change in your relationships. So, if you're driving right now listening to this podcast, as everyone on this planet is listening to that podcast.
Speaker 1:What do you think I'm talking about? I thought you said they're driving no listening to the podcast when they're coming from.
Speaker 2:You've got shit to do, yeah, and you've got a cigarette in your hand, or you're chugging down a V, or you've got a donut in your hand and you're eating like shit. You're not looking after yourself. Guys, how long do you reckon you have doing that? Well, you got another 20 years, pretty good, but wouldn't 50 years be better? People don't think of the consequences. It's like choose your pain. You're either going to have the pain today of discipline or you're going to have the pain of regret in the future, and however long that future is going to be for you.
Speaker 1:That future and however long that future is going to be for you. That was a real driving factor for me. I wanted to have the pain now so I don't have that pain later. What's mouth pleasure, dude? Yeah, you know what I mean. Like you go and you do that stuff because it's short-term gain, it's. You know joe rogan calls it mouth pleasure. Who does joe rogan? Yeah, like your mouth is, like you give into that burger because you want the mouth pleasure. Now you want to dive into that thing. You know. Know what I mean. It's like, instead of reality is feeling fit and healthy feels better than any food tastes.
Speaker 2:I feel unstoppable when I'm fucking fit and strong. Yeah, do you know what I mean? I feel like let's go. I don't eat.
Speaker 1:I don't eat. Do you know what I mean? I eat one meal a day. I've been doing that. Now I have two stages. I I have two steaks and a big meal. I eat time full. I want to eat properly, but that's it. I've been losing weight, feeling stronger because you're working out too Also. I'm sharper during the day. That's what I mean. There's so many benefits. I'm kind of on edge.
Speaker 2:Because you're hungry. Are you hungry during the day?
Speaker 1:I'm hungry right now. I've been eating all my food for ages, yeah.
Speaker 2:We have to talk a lot about food.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm hungry right now, but no, do I get hungry during the day? I usually have a couple of black coffees and then I'm usually just caught up to it Like I don't have time. I've got back-to-back appointments, doing this, doing that, and then by the time end of the day comes trying to work out what I'm going to eat, and then I stick to my carnivore diet, which I'm spilling about. That's all right, it's just become normal now. It's just like I can't eat the shit. Yeah, you know what, dude?
Speaker 1:Four years ago I went to a Tony Robbins event and I came out of the event and I lost 14 kilos for the next two months. But I went to the other way. I went vegan. I cut out meat. Yeah, I was like I don't want meat, I don't want dairy, just let me just stick to, like you know what I mean? Just reduce what I'm eating, stick to it. And I lost 14 kilos in a few months. I reckon I'm going to do something similar now. I'll end up losing 14 kilos in a few months with this diet.
Speaker 2:All I find what I've found with that. People have had that argument what's better? Vegan, carnival, whatever, all, whatever, all those sorts of shit. And it's not necessarily that you're going one is better than the other, it's just you're cutting out the shit. That's the difference. You're no longer eating the donut, you're not having the cake, you're not having ridiculous carbs, you're not having fried foods, you're not doing any of that stuff. You're having good, wholesome food. Whether it's vegan or whether it's carnivore, it doesn't really matter. I think it's that you're sticking to a plan of nutritional food that comes from the ground, not the fucking Nutri-Gain, Kit Kats, all that sort of stuff Up from the lab. That's right and that's where people are getting the benefit from it. And then they swear black and blue no, carnivore is the best thing to do, because that's where I lost 14 kilos and look at my body now it's like no, you just cut out all the shit, 100%.
Speaker 1:That's what it comes down to 110% Dude. I'm going to be an example of someone who's gone both ways and got the same result.
Speaker 2:That's right. So which one's better? It's just more personal preference. Did you enjoy eating just meat, or did you enjoy the plant-based version? Or does it mean, okay, I'm just going to do both and just mix it up a bit, and not eat all the shit in. In between that I should be eating and look, man, maybe once a month, a year, every six months, whatever you treat yourself, yeah, hey, let's go out, let's go have a fucking ice cream or a cake or a donut, whatever. It's not gonna tip the scales in the other direction, but you might find ice cream, ice cream, so much ice cream sick, yeah, but you might find that even when you do have that, you'll have it like oh man, this tastes like shit. You know what my problem?
Speaker 1:is though. Nah, you reckon you're gonna eat an ice cream and say it tastes like shit. Not a fucking chance, dude. No chance they have. So there's the shit in. It is like so good, uh, designed to give you like, it's so designed to taste unbelievably good that you want more. Yeah, my problem with that isn't having the one ice cream, it's having the tub. Yeah, I can't just have one. Yeah, dude, I'll buy a four pack of Magnums, eat the whole thing. Like I'm not shitting you, dude, I'll eat the whole thing once. Yeah, it's like 1200 calories in the whole thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'll just like smash. I feel too guilty. See, I wouldn't be able to do that. Hey, I wouldn't be able to. I could physically do it. Yeah, I could physically do it. Yeah, easy, I feel proud.
Speaker 1:What a man I. Look at myself in the mirror. I'll do a topless nah, but yeah, I feel proud. Nah, I don't feel proud. Why should I take kilos heavier? Yeah, but I've got a real good thing going now. So I put on about two and a half kilos a year over a four-year period and then I lose it all in two weeks. It's sick. Did it in 2020 and I'm doing it now again. By the end of next, by the end of this month, by the time you hear this, I'll probably be 14 15 kilos down. Yeah, that's massive, you know. And yeah, and if you see me in an ice cream shop, just know I've entered just be finished or you're starting day one again it's always always day one Rent is always, due Rent is always due.
Speaker 1:Get to work, that's it. Pay the price every day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so looking after yourself. You said this what's his face? Who's that really rich old bloke?
Speaker 1:Robbie, no, you're not old or rich, not yet. Hey don're not old or rich, not yet. Hey, don't let that go Listen.
Speaker 2:No, he's the billionaire, fucking-.
Speaker 1:Rich old bloke, yeah Warren.
Speaker 2:Buffett, warren Buffett, my God, shit Can't believe. Nate was on the tip of my so he said this great example. He went into a classroom of students whatever it was, say high school and he goes I'm going to give each and every single one of you any car you want. I want you to pick a car, just any car you want. You can have it. Tell me what it is Like, what are you going to do? But the only catch is this is the only car you ever get for the rest of your life. What are you going to do with that car? You only car you ever get for the rest of your life. What are you going to do with that car? You're going to look after it. You're going to look after it. You're going to change your oils. You're not going to rev it out too hard. You're going to drive it responsibly. It's going to be your car, your pride and joy. You're.
Speaker 2:You only get one, but people treat them like they've got 15, like I saw this guy the other day on tiktok and he's obviously making you know, getting lots of followers right because of um, how he's eating, like he'll come in. Uh, you may have seen it. He's a guy that poured um milk over a like a 20 packet of tim Tams. Have you seen that? And then he just smashes them like all and he drinks the milk and he's like a three liter tub of milk and he's drinking the Tim Tams and he's dipping donuts into it. That looks sick. Yeah, it does. But this guy, I give him another five years, he's dead. Yeah, I guarantee it.
Speaker 1:And you see all these people, and you see all these people. There's 900 calories in a packet of Tim Taps. This is what I mean, and he's doing it daily and he was doing a double pack, yeah, and he's trying to be funny.
Speaker 2:He's like, look at me, oh, I love this food and all this sort of stuff. I'm like, yeah, okay, maybe it's entertaining for the next five minutes, but, dude, you are going to fucking give yourself your actions and you're decreasing the likelihood of you living a long life and you keep eating that shit.
Speaker 1:Do you follow Brian Johnson? I don't know the guy who's trying to live forever.
Speaker 2:I think I do actually. Yes, I think.
Speaker 1:I do. You see all the shit he does. He's extreme, he's full on he's extreme. But his whole life is dedicated to yeah, but apparently what is he saying?
Speaker 2:Yeah, biologically he's 50, but he's 32 or something.
Speaker 1:Something like that and also like the rate he's aging at now, so they can actually measure what rate you're aging at. So you know, like even I've dropped a year on my metabolic age? Oh, I will, yeah, but they the label, yeah, um, but they can measure how much you're aging it and he ages at. Uh, tell me, have you read, have you read ikigai, my book? Never heard of it. Okay, so I talk about the concept of living a long life in that book, right, and the whole ikigai thing is what do you like? What are you good at? What can you make money for? What are you passionate about, or something? There's one, I don't, don't know, I'll find that out. There's one missing, but look it up Ikigai I-K-I-G-A-I.
Speaker 1:It's a Japanese concept and in that book they talk about aging and how we age. At. Like, we age 1.5 times every year, or something like that. But it keeps coming back and back and back and eventually, once we can extend our life by a year every year, we're going to hit a point where we're not going to die. It's almost like you become immortal. You medicine has become good enough to extend your life by a year each year. So Does that make sense? Yep. So if you can extend someone's life by a year each year, they technically can't die. This guy's aging at less than a year per year yeah, so most people are aging more because they don't look after themselves. This guy's aging at like point. I think it was like 0.8 or 0.7. He said there's a recent podcast and he's like, yeah, I get two months for free every year. Yeah, because he's aging slower than time. But he goes to extreme levels. He's getting everything monitored, everything.
Speaker 2:He's got a really strict sleep cycle as well. I've heard James is massively strict on his sleep. He has naps throughout the day. Does it come inside? No, never, very rarely, very rarely, very rarely. James is massively strict on his sleep. He has naps throughout the day. To coincide no, never, very rarely, very rarely, very rarely. I think maybe on a weekend a couple of times I might have. But yeah, booze on the couch.
Speaker 1:Something like that. Yeah, I don't know If I ever have a long day like I, have a day where I haven't had enough sleep and I'm wrecked. I do this thing that I heard what's that army guy's name? Jocko, Jocko Willink, you know. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And he talks about how, oh cool, you're tired, you can go get an eight-minute nap, Like literally. It's like go elevate your legs so your heart rate drops because your blood slows your legs down and just close your eyes, Turn the alarm for eight minutes, just close your eyes for eight minutes. You're about to drift off. The alarm goes off. You get up.
Speaker 1:The hardest thing is getting up. Once you get up, you actually feel refreshed. It's the most bizarre thing, but I haven't done it in ages. I haven't since I this is a benefit that I don't think about Since doing the whole carnival diet thing, the whole thing. And dude, my resting heart rate stopped. Like I'm below 60 now. Yeah, my, I don't get. I used to crash, I don't get, I used to crash. I didn't get that anymore. Like I'm pretty. Energy level is pretty maintained throughout the whole day yeah, so there's there's definitely benefits here already so sleeping well?
Speaker 1:yeah, very well, because your mouth mouth tape isn't it? Yeah, after what'd you call it Mouth patch, mouth patch Patch. I'm going to get you a nose tube and a mouth patch and try it. Try the nose tube, first the mouth tube, but you have to do them at the same time. I'll get you a nose tube Sick. I'll give you a dollar. What is it? A dollar twenty, it's just plus interest. Um, yeah, it's it's um. Take amix. Yeah, it's definitely something. So why don't people do it? A heart?
Speaker 2:uncomfortable. You reckon meat every single day tastes better than a chocolate bar. Discipline people are undisciplined. I like easyciplined. It's too easy to be fat. It's too easy to be lazy in our society. Now it's too easy. We don't have to hunt for food, we don't have to. We walk into the supermarket. Where's all the healthy food? It's at the back. It's in the corner Right. You walk in and it's all the sugar shit. It's all that, everything that walk in, and it's all the sugar shit. It's all the everything that can be easily picked up when you check out. What's next to you when you check out Chocolates Dogs.
Speaker 1:That's it. Serato every time Actual dogs. Nah, you said dogs. Yeah, the Woolworths circle From the chocolate set.
Speaker 2:Oh sorry, they are dogs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what did you hear I say Like animals? Yeah, but was like you said, the dogs that check. I was very upset, which one?
Speaker 2:Very upset, but yeah, that's what they put there. Okay, it's too easy for you to ah, you know what I've done that, heaps.
Speaker 1:All the time. Yeah, I'm like how it's not my one, it's a dollar Only six kick, yeah, so and.
Speaker 2:but that's what I mean. Like you're looking at that and you go and you become the best salesman ever. Hey, we've been working out hard this week. I deserve a kick out.
Speaker 1:You know what? I'll go just for now, until I'm going to cook dinner. Yeah, just keep me going. That's like 150 calories. Yeah, of shit, absolute shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah and then. But then it comes down to smoking. Like, look at smoking, that's not a food, it's um, it's a vice yeah nicotine though. Yeah, okay, you picked it to that. Have you tried neuro gum? Which one neuro gum?
Speaker 1:no, what's that it's a nicotine gum. I've never smoked, so I've never needed to take it that's like joe rogan takes it, it's like a mental sharpness oh, I've never heard of it.
Speaker 2:You've never heard of it.
Speaker 1:I've never tried it, but apparently it's very like you want mental sharpness. That's what apparently nicotine's benefits are. Supposedly Anyone who darts has zero sharpness. But yeah, I don't know. Apparently that's the upside. Dude, I can't believe I used to smoke. That's the thing I look back at. Yeah, I find that surprising.
Speaker 2:Me. I find that surprising Because I've tried, but I just hate the taste. The smell Never appealed to me ever. I like the smell of cigars, though Don't like smoking them, but I love the smell. If you were having a cigar right now, I would like the aroma. Should we turn this into a?
Speaker 1:cigar podcast. We could Get some scotch, get a couple of cigar round, couple of glasses and a cigar, yeah.
Speaker 2:So but you know, it even comes down to other drugs as well that people take Like legal. Yeah, the legal ones, I mean even legal ones too. How easy is it to pop a pill for some pain relief, or how easy is it to do a whole?
Speaker 1:range of things. I haven't been getting headaches. There you go. I used to like I would not regularly, but like I'd probably take a Nurofen maybe twice a week. Wow, that's often yeah, pretty often.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would just feel like cause I was pushing myself and I'm like it's just pain. But like, and I'm like it's just pain, you're probably not wearing your glasses or you're just spending too much time in front of the screen, but I am spending more time in front of the screen ever than now, like more time than ever in front of the screen now, just constantly working, and I can't remember the last minute.
Speaker 2:How funny, there you go and I'm also drinking four litres of water a day. Yeah, that helps and better sleep and better sleep.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, I'm peaking Peaking.
Speaker 2:Should we be peaking? If we're peaking in the right way, yeah, not in the bad way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, haven't been taking any sort of painkillers. Yeah, it's like. I see you know what, though most people know? I knew for ages that I needed to stop absolutely yeah, but it's like but this is what I mean.
Speaker 2:You end up selling yourself into that idea too. It's like I said ah, it's alright, fuck it. See, I'm still alright. I'm still skinnier than most people. I'm not obese. I've just got a little little bit more of me to love chicks. Dig that. You know what I mean. You end up convincing yourself. I buy loads of shit, that's a lot.
Speaker 1:That's a lot. And I wouldn't even say I'm skinny now. I've still got a bit that I need to cure it up. But it's like what the fuck was I doing before? I even said that about time. I put up this post the other day and I was like I've managed to do this and this. Like running two businesses, uh, training twice a day, twice a day dude, I have not missed a fucking session. Yeah, twice a day, every single day. Weekends not weekends. Work day not work day. Fully booked appointments all day, back to back. No, no, got to make it happen. Got to squeeze it in somewhere. Morning, night, work it out. It's got to happen, even if you're not sleeping. It's got to happen. And I've done it every single day, reading every single. I'm about to finish. My third book Bag is up. Yeah, in a month, reading every single day. And I'm like what the fuck was I doing before?
Speaker 2:It's the flow and effect that it's having. This is what I was saying. If you start with your health, start there, because look at everything you've just said to me now that has been a positive change in your life your sleep, your resting, heart rate, what you've been reading. So you've obviously got new knowledge. You've learned something. You're spending more screen time. You've got new knowledge. You've learned something. You're spending more screen time. You've got rid of your headaches. So you're working more. You've got rid of your headaches. You're sleeping better. You've got clarity. I feel there's always that clarity, yeah, yeah, well, I can probably. I reckon this is again. You'll probably notice it more so in the future. You said you're sharper.
Speaker 1:That's a level of clarity. Anytime, I don't eat.
Speaker 2:I you're sharper.
Speaker 1:That's a level of clarity anytime I'm not, anytime I don't eat. Yeah, sharper, yeah, and people should try that, if you. If you want to try it, it's worth it, trust it. It'll be hard for the first day or so, but try eating one meal a day.
Speaker 2:You are sharper during the day, no matter what anyone says, it's so true, and that's part of the best thing when you're doing that intermittent fasting dude, or don't eat.
Speaker 1:Don't eat for the whole day. Watch how sharp you are at night. Yeah, it's because. What the fuck? Why do I have?
Speaker 2:so much energy. The reason is, from a biological point of view you're, you're more alert because you need to hunt, to go get food when you're. Is that what it is? That's what it is. It's because when you're hungry, you're like your body's saying cool, we need to go hunt, we need to go get food shit, was that a deer like? And then you're more alert. That's it saffling people on the ground, in the street. This random shit, just go punch a cow um shanice.
Speaker 1:All the cows out there we love you we do.
Speaker 1:I do at the moment. Um, but yeah, that's actually interesting. I always thought, uh, it was because digestion consumes so much energy. You know why you feel tired after a nap? It's because all the blood gets rushed to your liver or to your intestine or something to process for what you've just eaten. That's why you can eat a meal and be like man I'd love a nap now. It's because your brain is actually lacking blood and that's why you feel tired. How funny, it's fucked. It's how funny it's fucked so funny. Do you know what I mean? But I used to always think, oh, digestion is such a, uh, heavily energy consuming activity. I don't know if it's an activity, but you know what I mean. Yeah, um, that, yeah, bodily function, that, uh, when you don't eat, you're left over with all this energy because you're processing stuff, your body's like processing all the toxins and you're like, oh, yeah, I should feel like this all the time. Do you know what I mean? And, yeah, that's probably the only thing it was. Then talk about the ding ding.
Speaker 2:There's this movie I was documentarying, yeah, that sugar film, and there's a few around that topic as well. Sugar film it's called that Sugar Film. It used to be on Netflix. I think they've taken it off now but you can probably Google it wherever it is. But it was really cool. It's this guy pretty much turning around saying I'm going to eat foods that are considered healthy by just general people, like, yeah, like eating, drinking up and goes and having cornflakes, all that sort of stuff when you start to learn about that.
Speaker 1:right, like I used to think Nutri-Grain was healthy. Yeah, growing up You'd see the fucking Iron man thing and you're like dude, if I'm going to the gym, I better have some Nutri-Grain, that's right, it's all the marketing that comes around it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is what I mean, eddie Ebru. What I mean it's eddie ebrew. Have you seen him? It's like guys, uh, what does he say? Is that the black dude? Yeah, yeah, the body ex-bodybuilder. And now he's just gone. He's gone from like 100 000 followers to seven million. Yeah, something ridiculous. Oh, he's a.
Speaker 1:Guys, wake the fuck up like he says he's like, look at this, this is because this is yeah, he's begun that, yeah, but he'll sit here.
Speaker 2:And he goes look at this nutrient grain, heri-grain. He goes this says and look at the packaging. It says at the front three four-star health rating and this. And he goes look at this. Look at the sugar, this is shit. He goes look at this chemical Blah, blah, blah, blah. And he goes wake the fuck up. Yeah, that's wholesome food. Like sugar, has been proven to be carcinogenic. You know what I mean? It's not a fucking good thing for you. Sugar is like a drug, but that's exactly right, and that's why they keep pumping sugar into absolutely everything, and every meal and every packaged product has got sugar in it, amongst 101 other things. I love sugar. It's the reason I wake up every morning.
Speaker 1:That's my purpose. But yeah, I keep them in coffees. Yeah, no sugar. I keep them in coffees. Yeah, no sugar.
Speaker 2:Yeah, as is, I haven't had sugar in coffees for a long time Good stuff, but yeah, so that movie, the Sugar Film. He's showing how he would have what was considered a healthy diet to people or nutritionists or whatever it might be, and he would show the effect on his body, his mental clarity, everything. And he was saying, even juices. Juices are like one of the worst things you can put into your body because you're extracting Like an orange juice, Like an orange juice, apple juice, mixed juice, whatever. You're extracting all of the sugar out of the fruit and putting it into a cup. You're taking away all the fiber, all the other things that are good in that fruit, the skin, whatever it might be and you're extracting pure sugar fruit, the skin, whatever it might be. And you're extracting pure sugar when you chew your saliva, so it actually processes hard. So once you drink the juice you know it's saliva. Absolutely I'm sure that. And there's probably heaps of things like that that come up.
Speaker 2:So he was going there and he was having and to show people how much sugar is in things. What he would do is say, okay, people recommend I have one up and go or two up and goes, Because this little up and go has four sugars in it. So he would then have a wheat mix with milk and then he'd put four sugars in it. So he would then have a Weet-Bix with milk and then he'd put four sugars in it. All right, he goes, that's the equivalent of what you just drank, and then he would eat the Weet-Bix with the four sugars in it.
Speaker 1:Just for the record as well, weet-bix with sugar Sick, just for the record.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then. But then he'd do the same with the juice he goes. Cool, I just uh, because I just got this juice anytime. People asked me if I wanted to upsize. I think he said yes as well, so he got a big juice. He goes. There's 20 teaspoons of sugar in this, whatever it was, so he put 20 in his wheat peaks just to show the people give them this is what you're getting.
Speaker 2:This is what you're consuming in your day-to-day. It's giving a visual yeah, giving a and he goes. I felt sick eating that with wheat bix with 20 sugars, like mad.
Speaker 1:Like amazing, this is so good. We should all try this.
Speaker 2:And it was a really interesting film and opened my eyes up to that space.
Speaker 1:You know who, touching on the whole blending thing, you know who talks about that as well Gary Brecker. I was going to mention him, yes, yeah, and he talks about, and you shouldary brekker, I was going to mention him, yes, yeah, and he talks about, and you should, if you want to look into health, these guys, yeah, I think I think one of the leaders in the space yeah, uh, 10x, hell yeah gary.
Speaker 2:Well, he teamed up with grand cardone. Yeah, that's where the 10x health came from, and he's all about red light therapy and, um, hydrogen water. So I've got a hydrogen water bottle. I drink that most time.
Speaker 1:Well, he talks about how if you blend like if eating a fruit and blending the fruit is not the same consumption, Like people think, oh, it's the same thing I'm eating. The same thing You're not. And he goes into detail. I don't know the details.
Speaker 2:I've heard someone that rebutted that, If it's actually blended or if it's juiced. I think it's different. I'm not sure Blended. Yeah, maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1:I've got no idea either. I don't know the details, but it's just interesting to hear someone who lives and breathes this space, to hear their perspective.
Speaker 2:I think that's really interesting, but he's also massive on things like grounding yourself. Have you heard about that? Of course, yeah.
Speaker 1:Where you walk out on the floor, on the floor in the grass.
Speaker 2:If you can, once a day, yeah, and just ground yourself. He goes get natural sunlight first thing in the morning if you can, if it's not an overcast day or whatever it is, but get that sunlight, sit on the beach, get that energy into you, the vitamin D and expelling whatever toxins or whatever it is in your body and there's heaps of there's huge health benefits.
Speaker 1:I bought a water filter because he talks about fluoride and all that. He's like even if you just stopped fluoride, he's like if you just filtered your water for 30 days, the difference you'd see would be wicked.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we do that too. We have filtered water at home and everyone says, oh, our water's the best in the world. We got world-class water in the country? Yeah, and we probably do. We have some pretty clean water, but compared to what? Are you comparing it to an African country where they're drinking out of a ditch, where it's brown water and polluted? Yeah, it's cleaner than that. How did you get it to look so sparkling white when it comes out of your tap? How did it get from the reservoir to your tap? You know there's rusted copper pipes that they came in. I know I dig them up in old homes that we demolish. Yeah, I see what's there and what the water's in. And there was this company I can't remember what they're called, but it's something I would invest in in my own home for sure where they filter the water before it comes into the iron. It's outside the house. Yes, yeah, it's these big filters and filter the water before it comes into the home. It's outside the house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's outside the house.
Speaker 2:It's these big filters and even the water coming out of the shower. I understand, because you still consume it through your skin, dude, that's right. Yeah, your skin's an organ. Everything, the water you're drinking, the water that's coming on you, the water that you're washing your clothes with, it's all filtered, proper water. And they take these filters brown. They're brown, man, they're dirty. You need to replace the filter and it's like we're drinking this every single day. Oh, but it's clear, it's nice and clean. You know what I mean. I can drink it, no worries.
Speaker 1:Just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean it's not there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it. And I think there's, as I said, every when you're not the absolute best in your life physically and healthy, and all that sort of stuff. There's no reason for governments to be pushing that. They make money off you when you're sick, the hospitals, the medication they're going to send, pharmaceutical, everything, all these things. It's not in your favor to be completely healthy and independent from all this stuff. Sorry, it's not in your favor. It's not in your favor to be completely healthy and independent from all this stuff. Sorry, it's not in your favor.
Speaker 1:It's not in their favor. Yeah, they used to do marketing around tiggies. Yeah, absolutely yeah, they used to be like yeah, smoke tiggies. Yeah, they used to it's good for you.
Speaker 2:They got doctors it's cool, that's right but they got professionals doctors to say, no, no, smoking isn't bad for you, smoking is totally fine. And then they did the same thing with sugar and Coca-Cola and all that. No, no, it's calories in, calories out. It doesn't matter how much what you're consuming. Yeah, it does Not. All calories are equal. Yeah, it does. 100%, it matters what you're eating.
Speaker 1:It does, and it's, I guess, a key component if you really want to start change right Like you know what.
Speaker 2:I just want to continue to beat my son at sports for the longest time. That's it. I want to be 55 and for him to go. Fuck. Am I actually going to win this game?
Speaker 1:Yeah again, 55, 15 years. How old are you going to be? 25. Fuck dude, that's a tough feat.
Speaker 2:He's going to be scared. He's going to think twice. Wait, you want to arm wrestle Mental? I've been training for 20 years. Yeah, psycho-discount is it? As we said? Think about that. Why is it?
Speaker 2:When you become 50, you're old and frail? Why it's a choice. If you see someone, an older person, today, they're in their 50s, 60s, 70s and they're weak. That was a choice. Yeah, I push strength training. They're walking sneak. If they're fucking fat or too skinny and they're walking slowly. They look aged, like bags under their eyes, all that sort of stuff. They just look weak and frail. That was a choice. Why not be? If they continue to train, if they continue to eat well and look after themselves, mate, they'd be standing up straight. They'd be walking just as fast as anyone else, any other young person. Yeah, I 100% agree, and that's the decision and that's the choice that I want to make.
Speaker 2:Me working out hasn't just been. I'm just doing this for the next 12 months so I can get a six pack. No, it's not about that. How easy is a six pack? Not there yet. It will come. I know it will. It has to.
Speaker 2:It's a compounding effort. Do you know what I mean? I'm still struck. Today, I lifted more than I did last week. I trying to say I was literally talking to my coach I'm like man, like sitting down on the bench looking in the mirror. You see your shoulders are rounded, your arms are more pumped up, your chest is more pumped up. Yeah, my midsection, that's where I haven't lost all that weight there. But it'll come. Just got to be consistent or take it to the next level. Maybe I go cool, I need to jump on the carnival diet. The thing is with a diet, I don't want it just to be three months and then go back to what we were doing before and then you lose all your effort. It's got to be. It's a lifestyle change. You have to make the change. You have to make the commitment to want to change. You're not gonna be like I'm gonna work out for the next three months, lose four kilos because I'm going to grace or go into europe and we'll do that yeah I do it.
Speaker 2:Well, they're. They're back in our day. You know you're shredding for summer days or for an event. If you're a stereosonic, you want to take your top off at the event or look good in your bikini, either way, tank top, whatever you guys want to wear. Yeah, and that's the thing. You're like cool, I'm just going to train hard for three months, then be fat, then train again for three months hard and then be fat, and then it's just that vicious cycle. Yeah, yeah, that's what you want to call it. So, yeah, it's a lifestyle change. Like no, no, I'm committing to this now. I'm going to lift weights for the rest of my life now.
Speaker 1:Well, feeling fit and healthy feels better than any tastes. Yeah, that's right. That's just the truth, couldn't agree more.
Speaker 1:Yeah, annoying tastes. Yeah, that's right. That's just the truth. Couldn't agree more. Yeah, feeling fit and healthy feels better than anything tastes. Yeah, and there's nothing to say that you can't zag. If you zig, you know what I mean. Like, it's like you don't have to be, it's like you know a little bit of this is okay in portions or proportion, right, yeah, do 90. Right, and you can have the ice cream. You can have this, you can have that. Yeah, I'm big on dessert man. I love dessert so much I love it.
Speaker 2:I love I mean, that's fine, you can like it, there's nothing wrong with it. Yeah, uh, we said this in an early, early episode, um of million dollar days, and it was when I went on holidays and I was at a resort rocb resort somewhere in Noosa and I said like everyone, all the dads there, 90% of them were out of shape, they were overweight.
Speaker 2:Yeah exactly you notice this when you start to look after yourself. Even walking down the street, I'll look at someone that's overweight. Dude, give it up. Yeah, give it up, not a high performer See, this was the same before.
Speaker 1:Like I, no, not a high performer. See, this was the same before. I knew in my head that I needed to do something about this. I'm like I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. And I constantly say, yeah, I should be in the clean, I should be. Yeah, I'll try now, I'll start in the past, I'll start there, but I never. Until this 75 hard thing I never committed. But then this thing was like oh cool, we're drawing the line. Dude, who was doing it with you?
Speaker 2:Was it Adam? Is he still doing it? Yeah, good, hasn't given up. No, oh well. Was he doing carnival diet too? Yeah, oh, cool Heads it.
Speaker 1:It's just restricting, dude. Yeah, do you know what I mean? Like you eat meat, the hardest part would be safe.
Speaker 2:I'm going to Sydney tomorrow and it's like you're going to go away for six days. What are you going to eat during that time? It's going to be harder for you to eat food if you've got to go out somewhere. Are you going tomorrow?
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh sick. You're going tomorrow as well, but I can't see that you catch the same flight, maybe, maybe we'll see. Aren't you going to Sydney tomorrow? Me too, yeah, me too.
Speaker 2:What time uh early mate 12 minutes six don't fuck around. Yes, sir oh, did you fucking baby work.
Speaker 1:My schedule, it's my schedule, my schedule. Um, um, yeah, there's something like that. Though travel, it does make us hurt. Adam's actually in korea at the moment. Oh wow, on a work thing. I'm like dude, that must suck.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That must suck so much. Yeah, I've just got my you know what, dude? Day 38, I still haven't run out of meat oh cool From that first shop. Oh really, yeah, I'm still going, man, that's awesome. So I'll probably run out in the next week, yeah, but being out for ages.
Speaker 2:Pretty good. Good value, then, isn't it?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I bought the whole loins and stuff so I had to cut it up myself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, that's still 700 bucks worth of food or whatever it is, but it's lasted you over a month.
Speaker 1:It'd probably be like close to seven weeks. That's massive, massive.
Speaker 2:Massive. So if you're thinking now about okay, look, you're right, george, you're right, robbie, I need to start looking after myself, where could you start? Why don't you look for people that can help you? Because you are not the nutritionist, the nutritional expert, you're not an expert on exercising. So go and find someone. Have a talk with someone that can help you. Now it could be a PT, you might be a coach, that's it. Maybe you go. All right, I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to join a gym. You may not like it. Just buy a three-month membership whenever. Go, look at the board and say who's the best-looking person here from a physique point of view? Who reckons they know their shit the best, and call them up, plan together for me. Can you tell me what types of food I should be eating? Do you have a naturopath? I can speak to Start doing some research. Just get the wheels turning, because I was never an expert. It wasn't until I got regular PT that he taught me how to lift properly.
Speaker 2:All these years, when I was a kid, I'm using bad technique. I'm rolling my shoulders, I'm like this, I'm like this and, yeah, you're lifting a lot because you're young and strong, but now that I'm older, it's like no, no, you're going to do an injury, you're going to do your back, you're going to do your shoulder. Yeah, do it like this, do it properly. But also as a result of me doing it properly, I'm exercising the right muscles. It's shit. I didn't know if I just went to the gym now I would have been doing the same old technique, if I never sought that advice. Same with the nutrition, if I didn't speak to him and say what types of food should I do, what sort of calories should I be looking at, what sort of macros? All that sort of stuff. If I didn't understand that, I wouldn't be able to get the results.
Speaker 1:Yeah, another thing, man, like why does? Why? Because we all take action. All action comes from something, right, something happens. We're either really inspired or we're desperate. Yeah, like all inspired or we're desperate. Yeah, like all motivation comes from desperation or inspiration. Why does something have to happen for you to do something about this? Like, what has to happen? Do you have to get, do you have to go get a blood test and find out? Yeah, like you know what, what? Imagine right now. Think to yourself what's that thing that would happen that would actually make me do something about this. And then does do you want to see that day? Like you know, does that day have to happen for you to actually fucking do something about this? Or can you do something before that day comes?
Speaker 2:this literally happened to me today, not to me personally, but to a friend that had a real serious health scare. I won't say what it was because I won't give anything away, but a really serious health scare that they had to get hospitalized. And my wife messaged me. She's like hey, this has just happened. I'm like what the hell, man? They're 40. They're like 41, 42, like are you serious? She's like, yes, and this is something that would happen to an 80 year old and that happened at 40. My fuck, and healthy person? Yeah, nothing, right. Like you look at them and go yeah, you're a healthy, functioning person. And that happened to him. Like man, there's got to be more to the story. It doesn't seem like it's a freak accident because it was a stress related. Was it diet related? Was it not looking after yourself? Was it something else? You're doing, extracurricular activities that related to you having this health scare? But you're right, it happened. You now go. Okay, now we need to start exercising yeah, it's like why do you?
Speaker 1:why do you have to wait till there's right?
Speaker 2:now we've got to start eating healthy. Now we've got to stop stressing about stupid shit.
Speaker 1:Now I've got to do it because I nearly died yeah, and it's like and and here's the thing, some people don't get the nearly dude that. Some people don't get the nearly. Sometimes it's just one and done, and then it's like you missed the dance, like that's it. Yeah, yeah, one at bat, dude, that's horrible life. Yeah, one at bat, and the one thing that has to be in place for you to do anything else you want to do is your health, because if that diminishes, what the fuck's the point? Like nothing else, you can't do anything else.
Speaker 2:It becomes irrelevant. Exactly Everything becomes irrelevant. Everything becomes irrelevant. Time Like the greatest motivation. Gary Vee said this Like someone came up to me and said hey, gary, how are you? Can you give me some advice on what I should do with my business? Yeah, absolutely, you're going to die. Yeah, and like you are going to die, stop fucking around, go and look after yourself, go and take the risk, go and do things that make you happy. Yeah, and what's all good? Saying what makes you happy is cake. Cake makes you happy. It does, but if you have cake every single day, you're not going to be happy.
Speaker 1:That's another thing, eh. Do you know how good the cheese and honey tastes to me? It probably tastes like shit to everyone else. But do you know how good it tastes for me? Because it's the only sweetness I'm getting, and then it's like. You can appreciate.
Speaker 1:Dude clean glass of water yeah, clean glass of water. We don't appreciate it. No, we don't. We don't give a fuck. No one ever says, hey, man, this water's clean. Yeah, often. But you go get someone from a less privileged country, bring them here and then show them how easily accessible.
Speaker 2:They'll probably cry. Yeah, they might, yeah, they'll probably cry. So, so you get to drink this every. How long do we have this for how many Fuck Do you need my arm? Yeah, do I need to cut off my arm, is that?
Speaker 1:the yes. Sorry, take off your arm. How many fingers do you need? Do you know what I mean? And it's like we forget. It's good to reset the bar, dude. I forgot about how good it feels to be this strong. I feel strong, yeah, at the moment. How good is it? It's so strong man. How good is it? Physically strong, dude? I'm lifting weights I haven't lifted for like a decade. Sick. I'm lifting weights I have not lifted for a long fucking time. I'm like fuck back to this.
Speaker 2:This is heavy man, it's good. Yeah, how good do you feel about that? I feel very accomplished when I do stuff like that. I feel strong, I feel masculine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like if someone started me on the streets I'd drop it. You're in trouble. Yeah, you're in trouble. I'm feeling strong. You call up Dana, call up Dana. Oi, dana, give me a shot, ufc 3. One title shot. Call Islam, call Islam, get him out. You know he's jacket form anyway. Call Islam, yeah, call Islam, tell him I want a title shot. That's it. Next week, go fuck around Abu Dhabi, that'd be sick, that's not it. But yeah, man, with your help and I guess the war cry is fucking do something about it before.
Speaker 2:It does something about you.
Speaker 1:Yeah or before. You don't even get the chance to. You know what I mean. If you right now, if it was 30 years from today, you would give anything anything. 30 years from today, you would give anything anything. You would give up every materialistic thing. You have to be as young as you are now and to feel as good as you do now. You'd give up everything. You would give up every fucking thing that you accomplished over the next 30 years. To come back to this time You're here now. Don't fuck around Fucking. Do something, take control, take charge, get your shit together. Do 75 something, take control, take charge, get your shit together. Do 75 hard. You should do 75 hard. Maybe I might do it. Dude, you know what it's a fucking? It's a mental battle over everything. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think it's but hey man, I'm fucking nine kilos down.
Speaker 2:Can't go wrong and better educated and better educated, educated and better physically, mentally, spiritually, all that sort of fun stuff. And if you have kids as well, your kids watch you. I don't know, they're watching you. Yeah, they're watching you like my kids see, like that I'll. I get up early in the morning. My son is an early riser too, and he always gets up. When I get up 5, 30, 6 o'clock, say hey, good. I say see, you have a good day. But because oh, you're going to the gym, said yep, yeah, he'll remember that'll remember that 100%.
Speaker 2:He'll remember that my dad is strong, my dad goes to the gym. My dad will beat your dad. Fucking Otho will beat you. I will beat you to a pulp because I train.
Speaker 1:Get it together, guys. Get it together One at bat, this whole life. One at bat, one at that so true.
Speaker 2:Um man, so cool. I did not think we'd be going down that path. Um it's, we just did a whole session on it that's what it's saying, but it's important.
Speaker 1:We're gonna have all business, but it is life too. We're gonna have a set of clips of the amount of times at the start of these episodes we're like what are we talking about? Who cares? Just fucking roll, just go. Yeah, we'll just see where we end up. And that's's exactly what this was. Yeah, that was exactly what this was. We're talking to you as it happens, live in our lives, right as it unfolds, you know, and if this inspired you and you're like I'm going to catch him, he's lost nine kilos. I probably lost 14 by this point.
Speaker 2:Yeah, by the time you listen to this, who said that?
Speaker 1:Someone said that Tony Robbins Was it. Yeah, by the time you get to where I am, you'll be where I was. Yeah, that's right. I love that saying yeah, it's cool. It means we don't stop, yeah, and we've got some sick shit coming up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, very Like I can't talk about it now because we've got some irons in the fire there and they're just they're becoming red hot. And once we pull those irons out, I promise you we're going to tell you how we did it. Yeah, I'm going to show everything. We're going to share it yeah 100.
Speaker 2:We're going to share it and we're going to say this is how we turned this business into turning over this much. And we're going to say this is how we turned this business into turning over this much. And we're going to literally tell you and show you how it was done From day zero. Right, because it's effectively day zero. Yeah, like it's. I feel like every day is day zero at the moment with that particular business we're talking about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's going to get to that point where, yeah, that's it, stop, stop, stop, stop.
Speaker 2:Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, Stop going to throw up on the mic. But when I say day zero, comparatively to where it's going to be, it's day zero. Do you know what I mean? When we're turning over that much money, when it's generating and working and delivering and doing all that sort of shit, we're going to say let us show you how we did it. Very much. Hal Mosey's approach, which I love, yeah, I love it. Sort of shit. We're going to say let 's us, let us show you how we did it. Very much. Hall moses approach, dude, which I love, yeah, I love. He's like. Let me show he goes. I wish I could have seen bezos and um musk and and all these guys gates document their journey to becoming a billionaire. He goes. I'm going to document my journey to becoming a billionaire.
Speaker 1:This is how I'm going to be a billionaire dude yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 2:Without a doubt, he will be, but he's gonna, and the what I love about it is he's showing everyone too, for nothing he goes. This is how I did it. This is how I'm going to do it.
Speaker 1:This is how you can do it too do you feel like, because it's free, people don't act on it. Uh, yeah, yeah. So do you think? What do you think he thinks?
Speaker 2:about that. I don't think he cares. I think the long, long game. He's probably got a gary v mentality. He I'm going to be right, he goes. I don't need you to like he and also give, give, give, give give, but doesn't he want people to consume it?
Speaker 1:He probably still gets his. I still, but that's what I say. Would more people would if he charged for his, his content dude? His content is like he said hey, come become part of a mastermind group, pay $1,000 a month and you can get access to all my in-depth content, all my courses. I'll show you everything, and it would be well worth it. Oh, I'd pay it now in full. But do you think because people aren't paying, they pay less attention? Yeah, so therefore he's having less of an impact. It'd be great.
Speaker 2:What's his game plan? You don't think about that, Unless he's trying to build his companies up from that perspective.
Speaker 1:he doesn't want to get into the PD or business development space, but you're trying to help people build businesses that will take more action if they're paying, but then he's also got them coming to acquisitioncom where he can help build those businesses, his whole thing about putting the content out is I'm going to give you enough skills so that you go and put this into play, earn this much, and then come see, yeah, yeah. So that's probably his way, if you want people to put it into play and earn this much, why don't you charge them for it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that they do more. Give them some specific content to help you get there quicker, as opposed to just watch my video whenever it comes up very smart guys.
Speaker 1:I'm sure he has a strategy around it. Yeah, love to know what it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, my dad said that to me the other day. He goes oh, you made this video. It was really good. He goes. I really liked it. He goes, but you told builders what to do he goes. Why the fuck did you do that? Because you've just told them. Ultimately, yeah, because you've just told them everything to do and how to run a successful construction company. Now all they have to do is go out and do that. So, absolutely, yeah, if they had half a brain, absolutely, if someone was there and goes George has just told me how to run a successful construction company. I'm going to go out and do exactly that and then come back to him Exactly. I said do you know how a mechanic can get more people to more customers? Show them how to change the oil. Show people how to change oil on their car. Do a video on it. Give away the secrets. That's it, people. So, yeah, I did show that video. I said this is the five, six things that you need to incorporate into your construction business.
Speaker 2:That video does feedback, by the way. Oh, did it really? I had a few people. Was that the one with the grey top? The one where you're in different spots? Yeah, yeah. So you go there and they go oh wow, because I haven't seen that ad come up yet. Have you posted ads for that one? It yeah sick. You should notice I will. I will not saying oh yeah. So he's like how do you do that? Okay, well, okay, the whole intent is to educate people so that, yeah, they can go out.
Speaker 2:If someone watches that video and says, george, I watched your video, I did everything you told me to and I just turned over six, seven, eight figures this year as a result of that, I'd be like dude, amazing, amazing, well done. He goes, no, no, like how can I? How can I come back? I want to learn more. Surely you know more than that, than that 60 second video or that 90 second video. Surely, yeah, absolutely, come here, let's have a chat. Let me help you go now to eight, nine figures so good, so good, so good, so good.
Speaker 1:I hope you're all enjoying this.
Speaker 2:We're part of the 1% club. Soon we're going to be like 0.0%, 0.05%, surely. When does it get to the point when, like it'd be interesting to see the stats on how many podcasts get to 100 episodes?
Speaker 1:wouldn't be many. Wouldn't be many, not for how many it started?
Speaker 2:yeah, wouldn't be many, wouldn't be many? Not for how many it started. Yeah, yeah, I'm pumped. We should definitely do something on 100, on the 100th episode, do something in one year. Yeah, if you do two episodes With some cake.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, some donuts from Macca's. That's how this episode started. Huh, macca's with donuts, not the McCafe ones, not the McCafe ones, not the.
Speaker 2:McCafe ones. Yeah, it'll be cool and we should definitely throw a party at 100. And we should have a sick guest. We should start reaching out to some people too. I reckon Be cool Once we get some cool. Not that any of our guests have not been cool to date, but we'll get some names that are known on the podcast. That'll be a lot of fun too. Share some perspectives, share their knowledge, help people their stories, their stories.
Speaker 2:Let me leave you with one thing not related to anything we've been speaking about, and it was from Patrick Bet-David, and I spoke about this on the weekend just past in one of my trainings and he went up. He had this guy come up to him and he's like hey, pat, I love your stuff. He goes, I've made so much money, I learned so much from just consuming your content. I wanted to come over here and say hello and shake your hand and just tell you how grateful I am. And Pat was like man. I guess I love hearing that. I love hearing when people tell me that story, when they come up to me and they say I've affected them in a positive way, where they've gone out and killed it, and then he finishes off, he goes by the way, he gives me his business card. He goes by the way, if you're ever in the Las Vegas area, just give me a call and you're looking for real estate. He goes, I'll hook you up and he goes whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, come back here, I'm going to give you a lesson. Now he goes. What you have done is the equivalent of going up to a girl at a bar and saying, hey, you're really hot, let's go back to my room. There's no, there's no rapport, there's no trust. There's nothing there that was given to build that emotional connection or that connection on any fact at all. All you've done is gone here, let's's go.
Speaker 2:And I love that whole aspect of that mindset of giving a lot of value and letting that come back to you tenfold, because if he had turned around and said something like this and said hey, pat, thank you for everything. You mean so much, you made me so much money, I just want to know, in a way of showing some gratitude do you have a charity that you work with closely? Because most of those high level people do have one, they're affiliated with or something. So is there a charity? Is there something I can donate to on your behalf as a thank you in everything you have taught me today, because you have made me millions, and it might be $1,000, might be $10, might be $20, whatever it is. He goes wow, yeah, absolutely, you know what. I'm holding a charity event next month. Here's an inbox Call my assistant, make sure you're there. And then, all of a sudden, you've gone from here. Sleep with me to here. Hey, come to an exclusive event with a lot of other high profile people and I'll definitely have that connection with you there.
Speaker 2:Very different, different outcomes Exactly so different. Yeah, I just wanted to finish with that. I really love that story and I think it's so practical in everyday life Give value.
Speaker 1:And I think most people would probably do the first one.
Speaker 2:Oh, without a doubt, they would Look. There's no doubt about it. Hey, give me. And they think they're hustling. Yeah, oh, I went up to Pat and I shook his hand. I said, hey, give me a call if you're in town and give me a buzz, because I would me. If someone does it straight out of the bin, straight out of the bin, do you know how many like?
Speaker 2:I get so many messages on Instagram. Okay, perfect example. I get so many messages on Instagram. Hey, george, love what you're doing, would do amazing work. You do this. You do this. By the way, if you want to quote, let us know. Cool, thanks, I'll keep you posted.
Speaker 2:Very rarely do I follow up. Now, that's not a level of arrogance that. Is you just asking to sleep with me? Yeah, you're just asking for something, absolutely. I've just recently done a charity drive for the Children's Cancer Foundation and we raised $20,000 in about an hour and a half, whatever it is, and then it was a couple of days thereafter. Now, for people that follow me and know me would have seen that they would have, because I posted regularly about it, I put it in my stories, we did posts about it, all that sort of stuff. Had you donated $1,000, let's say, okay, go on there, donated $1,000, screenshot it and sent it to me that, hey, george, amazing course, Well done. I've just donated $1,000 on behalf of Peter's Electrical Services.
Speaker 2:I hope that hopefully one day we can get involved on some future projects. I would be like mate, you are a gentleman, thank you so much. Here's this person. Send me an email. Send this person an email. Tell them George asked me to send you and we'll get you onto one of our projects. That $1,000 he would have committed to a cause that helped us raise some money would have gone so far. It probably would have resulted in a project of hundreds of thousands of dollars for him and the lifetime value of that.
Speaker 2:If you do a good job, you'll keep getting more work as well. People are playing small. People are playing small. Don't play small in business. Don't play small in life.
