Austin 14:32

No, I mean there's some things going on, but I'd rather save that for a later episode. But but, but for the most part it's just, it's just probably spending more, more time with Junior, you know, like he's getting to the age where he's like what he's like aware now.

Austin 14:51

He's like staring at me and like demanding things, like he's communicating. He knows how to communicate. I guess when I was talking to the pediatrician from 18 months to two years, that's when their vocabulary starts, you know like getting up there and he starts communicating and this I was like this motherfucker, like he's, he's in the 91st percentile of height. So when they told me that I'm like yo, can you do that calculation thing where I can see how tall they are like in the future? And then my Giselle was like, can you stop doing that? And I was like, no, I just want to know. And then the the doctor was like it's okay, a lot of dads do this when they see that the kid's actually getting taller. She actually did this calculation thing and she's like how tall are you? To Giselle, then she's like how tall am I? And then he's like all right, he's going to be around 5'9", that's an estimate. And I was like, oh so six feet I was like six feet.

Angelo 15:42

We're getting close to there, right.

High School Coaching and Podcast Expansion

Austin 15:48

The, the elusive six foot man. Yeah, dude, that's awesome, but it's just he's growing so fast. And so there was a moment where I realized, like this kid is like watching me and so I'm on. I'm at the fridge we have this morning routine. I wake him up, you know, change his diaper and usually gets a milk. We call it a dead it. That called the dead it, right?

Kevin 16:13

so I'm on the fridge and I'm like just reviewing I think I was looking at the niner calendar like the old schedule and I'm just kind of like man.

Austin 16:16

I'm just kind of like zoning out right, like should have won. Yeah, man, I'm just like staring there right and then junior, because before, when he was, you know, when he's a baby I'm just getting the bottle, I give it to him. Right, this kid's standing right next to me, he's looking at me, he goes Dadad, dadad, dadad, dadad, and I'm like, oh, I'm sorry. And then I grab it, I give it to him and he just swipes it for me, walks away and I'm like Damn.

Angelo 16:41

Wait till they say no bro.

Kevin 16:45

He got that attitude.

Angelo 16:46

I wonder where he gets it from.

Austin 16:48

His mom for sure. No, he's going to get her height?

Angelo 16:56

Giselle's like 6'1", she's 5'7".

Kevin 17:00

No way she's way taller than that. I think 5'7".

Austin 17:03

I was like 5'3", because I'm 6'1", then I'm 7'0", dude, if you'm 6'1", oh yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure sure.

Angelo 17:08

Then I'm 7'0".

Kevin 17:10

Dude, if you're 6'1", I'm 220. You know what I mean? That's crazy bro. That's crazy work. You just said.

Angelo 17:19

Oh my gosh.

Austin 17:21

What was it? But that's the goal and we have other things in the works. But again, I don't want to. I'll save that for the next episode, but I'm very excited. I just wanted to share that little hint. Another one is that I just got.

Kevin 17:33

I just made a head JV coach for the high school I'm excited for that, so yeah, I'm excited for these kids McDonald's bro that's what we're going to do.

Austin 17:43

No, this program is pretty competitive. The school, like Everyone's bought in, it's hard for high schools. Sometimes you get into a high school they're super bought in and sometimes they're not. The admin, the teachers, the administrators, they just, no, just make the kids play. You don't care about.

Gabe 17:59

We want them to have fun.

Austin 18:00

We just make sure they have fun and you don't need. We're going to take more money from you and give it to golf. It's like what, what's?

Kevin 18:07

Angelo 18:31

Wow, they're 5'10 and a half, bro. Yes, the half matters to me. No, no, but they're tall.

Austin 18:37

And he goes Hi, coach. And I'm like, what do you play? I'm already coached. I play receiver. Like yo, yeah, there's this kid, his name's Justice, and I remember the first time I saw him it was Justice and Josiah. These kids were like tall and they played football and I remember we were scrimmaging Silver Creek and Justice comes over to me, he goes, he goes coach, and this guy's big, he's tall, and he goes coach, just throw it up there, I'll be open. I'm always open. And I'm like, oh yeah, I told the quarterback like, hey, zach, just just chug it, we're gonna call the play just streaks, like just throw it to justice. This one like launches straight out of her freaking gun, just like just darts it down to the end zone. Zach just throws it up in there and he just catches it that like the varsity coaches are watching this because we're scrimmaging another school. I'm excited because I'm like, yo, we got some players Varsity comes up to me and goes, hey, are we taking Justin in?

Is that here or that's further down? I'm not sure. I feel like Fremont, like Newark Union City. They just meld together.

Kevin 21:30

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Angelo 21:31

Yeah and then no disrespect. I'm just saying why is it?

Kevin 21:35

You're going to offend people from Newark Like we're not from Fremont.

Austin 21:38

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're not from Newark, bro.

Angelo 21:42

It's the same area Some people get like so, like you didn't see, the Hayward People are like no, we're from Hayward.

Austin 21:46

I'm like okay, Okay, I guess, but like I would understand if it's like you know, san Jose and LA are kind of together.

Kevin 21:52

It's like no, no, no, what? Those are those East Coast heads?

Austin 22:01

They're like oh, california, oh dude, yeah, dude, I got. Yeah, yeah, he went to California and he hit me up. Hey, I'm coming over to California. Man, let's sync up. I'm like cool when you at, and he goes, I'm in Fort, something, something, and I was like. I looked it up on Google Maps and it was like LA and I'm like bro, I'm not.

Kevin 22:17

Hell. No dog, I'm nowhere near here. We're six hours away, brother, you want to have?

Austin 22:25

lunch, Like you get to drive over here. That's actually funny, but yeah, no, Anyways. Well, I appreciate that, yeah so lots of goals. Okay, so 2025. What's trending right now? What is going on? What is trending in 2025? Off the top of your heads, what have you guys been seeing in your algos?

Gabe 22:42

TikTok shutdown.

Austin 22:44

Oh yeah, that. Oh yeah, that was the fastest, stupidest ban ever.

Kevin 22:47

The funniest thing was, this guy had posted thank you, tiktok. This is Austin.

Austin 22:51

This was me. Thank you, tiktok. Thank you for everything.

Kevin 22:57

I wouldn't have grown.

Angelo 22:59

And then six hours later, I'm back, baby, I'm back, I'm cooking. It was less than a 15 hour turnaround For the life of me.

Austin 23:08

I knew something would have happened. I knew something was going to happen. I knew something was going to happen like this.

Kevin 23:15

But I waited to the very last minute because I was like because I was like there's no fucking way they're going to ban it, right yeah.

Austin 23:20

And then, when it got closer, I said, okay, I'm just going to, just in case, just in case, and then like, if it comes back in a month, okay, it kind of washes over. Bitch came back overnight, made me look like a fucking idiot.

Walking Trends and Social Media Banter

Kevin 23:32

I was like are you? Shitting me right now, I think the worst casualties of the band was CapCut and Marvel Snap. Right, because everyone's like CapCut. Capcut is this. I use CapCut what everyone uses can't use it anymore and like, oh, that's kind of wild, you know there's, you cut.

Austin 23:48

now I'm on that shit. We can't use Capcom anymore, that's what.

Kevin 23:52

I try, that's what everyone was saying.

Austin 23:53

It was like my video my video checking his phone right now my memes, my memes I made so many memes, but yeah I mean the crazy thing.

Kevin 24:02

They're like TikTok's bad you know, yeah, I was having a meltdown.

Angelo 24:07

Well, no, not you, some people were having like because it's their literal livelihood and how they feed families and stuff.

Kevin 24:13

That is true. Oh well, I'm talking more about the people that were, like I was on Instagram Reels and after two I can't do it. What.

Austin 24:21

Yeah, Some people were saying yeah, I was on instagram this whole time well, that's.

Kevin 24:34

That's because when people watch tiktok, it's like now, right, and the one on reels is like three weeks ago. Yeah, you get. You know what I mean. That's how it like ends up, because everyone reposts, right?

Austin 24:43

so well, I repost within.

Kevin 24:44

See you're, if you're if you're an older head, like, and you're on the reels you love reels you just dated yourself. You're an older head.

Angelo 24:52

Yeah, I guess I'm an older head then.

Kevin 24:54

I enjoy reels.

Angelo 24:55

I don't think there's a problem with it either. I watch content.

Kevin 24:58

What about you, Gabe?

Austin 24:59

You're like younger. Do you enjoy MySpace and stuff, or what is it?

Gabe 25:03

Yeah, MySpace.

Austin 25:04

You don't even remember.

Gabe 25:07

I had a MySpace. It was towards the end.

Kevin 25:09

Yeah, it wasn't a good MySpace.

Austin 25:11

There is a website now that mimics MySpace. What is it I forgot?

Kevin 25:15

what it's called. I missed that too.

Austin 25:16

I'll probably put it in the show notes, but I don't.

Kevin 25:18

On the top of my head.

Austin 25:19

Usually I have my laptop open but this is so new to look at. And it's like dude, we're freeballing right now it's okay to freeball.

Angelo 25:28

You gotta air it out, bro, it's okay.

Gabe 25:31

Do you go reels? Do you go shorts? Not YouTube shorts, but I do everything else. I do Instagram reels and I do TikTok. I do both, so like I'll be on Instagram and then I'll see like a reel, and then I go back and forth. It's bad. I don't understand the tiktok instagram reels are more ruthless.

Gabe 25:51

That's why I like the comments because the comments go off like you go on tiktok and they'll video and they'll be like you should post this on reels because people like don't give a fuck on reels no reels will fuck you up they're harsh and I love the comics are right.

Austin 26:05

Yeah comics are like man. Why should I be taking advice from you? Fat fuck, I'm like oh cool, thank you.

Kevin 26:09

Thank you for that. Yeah, thank you.

Austin 26:10

And then TikTok's like I'm so happy for you. You helped me move and work and do stuff with my family.

Angelo 26:16

And I'm like I'm going to stick to TikTok.

Austin 26:20

So it seems like the community is more positive on.

Angelo 26:25

TikTok. I don't have TikTok, so like I try to stay away from I, just try to keep my socials, like you know my favorite part about TikTok is that I can watch movies on TikTok there's like 10 parts and you're like I've watched this movie already.

Gabe 26:42

It's like dude, I watched a whole movie on TikTok.

Kevin 26:43

Yeah, like they explain, like in parts they explain the scenes and stuff and then you're like I've watched this movie.

Angelo 26:49

I know Fast and Furious, fast and Furious.

Kevin 26:54

Yeah, I mean 10 parts, you know 10 parts, and then you get the whole family.

Angelo 26:58

Family. That's what it's all about.

Austin 26:59

Family, family.

Kevin 27:02

Dom Toretto, dom Toretto yeah.

Angelo 27:05

Nothing gets in the way of family.

Kevin 27:08

I don't think we could. I mean.

Austin 27:14

It's different now.

Kevin 27:16

We're upscale now, bro. We can't pay for this music. Austin.

Austin 27:20

They're going, I'm going.

Kevin 27:23

Gabe 27:27

Kevin 27:29

Vanilla Ice, what he made that thing about. He said that about their music. He's like, yeah, theirs goes ding, ding, ding, ding, ding ding and mine goes ding, ding, ding ding ding ding. If you guys don't know who Vanilla Ice is, you're too young, it's okay you know when to lie, yeah, I know when to lie Dude games like in between you know what I mean yeah, we should have like younger. Yeah, we need some Sure. Do it Like Gen Z, gen Zers, just get their thoughts Sure.

Angelo 27:56

Like yeah, grandpa.

Austin 27:57

So TikTok, I know the TikTok ban. Yeah, I'm just kind days, or is it back back?

Gabe 28:06

I think 90 days for now, and then they're gonna like try to fix something.

Austin 28:09

Well, we'll see the Supreme Leader saved it so.

Angelo 28:14

Supreme Leader. He didn't save shit, bro. He initiated the ban in the first place.

Austin 28:17

Yeah, yeah. I usually don't get political on this podcast, but right now it's just like.

Kevin 28:26

Yeah, the inauguration, careful dude.

Gabe 28:28

Whoa whoa, whoa, I was going to do it. I was going to do it. I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear.

Kevin 28:34

I swear, I swear. Back to the apartment, bro.

Angelo 28:40

We're going back to the apartment, bro, Edit it out.

Kevin 28:42

edit it out. You're too strong. It's a different time. You know, just got to roll with the punches and you know it is what it is, you know, and I mean, that's how it is, man, We'll get through it. Yeah Fine, I'll just say one thing about it. You know everyone's like, oh, it's going to change everything. You know, blah, blah, blah. But this is what I say.

Gabe 29:07

You got four years.

Angelo 29:10

I don't think he can run for re-election because he's he had two terms.

Austin 29:15

I mean, you can always change it.

Kevin 29:17

No, Executive order bro.

Angelo 29:20

Executive order doesn't trump constitution, order 66.

Austin 29:23

Tell that to.

Kevin 29:24

Palpatine bro. Order 47. Order, 66. Order 66.

Angelo 29:28

Yes, my lord yes my lord, you were the chosen one.

Austin 29:32

Well, all the Samoans are going to turn.

Kevin 29:35

Oh my God, All the Samoans, bro. That's brutal.

Angelo 29:38

That's brutal.

Kevin 29:40

Oh, peanut butter cups. You know what I?

Austin 29:41

mean, I'm just like all the Cold Wars were Samoan bro.

Angelo 29:50

There's also only one guy. He's from New Zealand. The guy right oh, he's a Kiwi.

Kevin 29:53

He's a Kiwi, new, zealand, I don't know how to. I'm wrong, I apologize, but anyways, where do we go off to? I mean, we're talking about trends in 2025. I think the biggest thing is probably walking. I think people are getting on the train more about walking.

Angelo 30:12

Oh yeah.

Kevin 30:12

Oh yeah, everyone talks about walking, but it's 2025, is the time to actually start walking.

Austin 30:17

So people don't believe. I don't want to say people, but there are influencers. I'm seeing there's people advocating about walking for weight loss, which is great If you're trying to lose fat, lose weight, especially in 2025 with New Year's resolutions. Walking is so underrated. But there are coaches out there who would be like walking is not an exercise because you're not getting your heart rate up and this, that and the other, and I'm like bro, just walk.

Kevin 30:42

Have you walked in San Francisco, yeah, or in Japan, bro.

Angelo 30:46

You'll burn 20,000 calories minimum just walking in Japan, because you walk everywhere. I'm in New York, new York's insane.

Kevin 30:52

Oh yeah, yeah. Bro, you know, when we were in New York for a wedding dude, I swear, I made sure every place. I went was minimal walking, like I made sure the subway stop was right next to where I was going, or I was like I'm not going there and plus we went during like July, was it?

Gabe 31:15

Oh dude it was like balls hot. It was crazy yeah.

Walking Challenges and Food Tracking

Angelo 31:19

But, walking, walking's in Walking's good. Walking's good for you. It primes you to do more exercise because you have an energy boost yeah, it gives you more motivation to do something. You just got to start walking.

Austin 31:28

It's not bad what was the longest distance you ever walked to date?

Angelo 31:32

to date, it's probably in Japan, because I have to check. I don't want to check, but it's. I think the longest steps I've ever clocked in in a day was 28,000 steps. Nice, yeah, that's working, walking through all of like Tokyo and stuff.

Gabe 31:46

Jesus, wow yeah.

Angelo 31:47

Cause, even even with the, even you take trains, but there's so much to see. Right, it's like Disneyland, but in the city form. So everything you pass by, it's like you, just it, just the time flies, have you?

Austin 31:57

Yeah, it's really good I like Disney Sea I don't think it's cheaper to go to Tokyo Disney than actual Disneyland.

Angelo 32:06

It can be, but then like… Depending on what you spend on, it can add up. But yeah, so $28,000, I think is my max.

Gabe 32:14

What about you, Gabe? That was when you said the step challenge at Hyper.

Austin 32:18

Oh, it was in the $50,000. What it was in the 50K, what? Oh yeah, dude, these guys were like killing it, what the fuck so like on the leaderboard like I was like, oh, I hit 20K. I'm gonna go to sleep and then I wake up and you and Nicole are like at 50K a pop. I'm like where the fuck did they go?

Angelo 32:33

Yeah, Did you walk to like did you walk to San Francisco?

Gabe 32:39

And all the whole staff. They're like eh, stupid, whatever, I'm like I'll beat you. And they're like nah, nah, give us names.

Kevin 32:46

Is it?

Gabe 32:46

right with. Spanthony.

Gabe 32:48

And then each time I was paired up with each time I was paired up with somebody, like they would see and I can see they're trying to one-up me I'm like, oh, these fuckers like. Or the first week, and it was fine, I was walking, but it was when I went up against Phillip. So when I was coaching at Deanne's at the time I'd like walk in circles for days as I'm coaching them and just so I'd coach, a shot put or ring the javelin one way, so they're kind of far from each other. So I just walk back and forth for days and just coach from the middle and just go, and I'm just in the neighborhood just walking for a day, just speed walking. And then Phillip was messaging me like bro, can you stop please? I'm like fuck you.

Gabe 33:25

And I'm just going, I'm like yeah, and so it hit midnight and I'm like I have the 5.30 am class the next day. But I don't care I need a win, and so I just kept going.

Kevin 33:42

And then, yeah, I love that challenge we might do it again, then the most I've ever walked is probably either at Comic Con. One of the Comic.

Gabe 33:50

Cons.

Kevin 33:51

We went to that or friendship games get out, get the fuck out of here. I'm just throwing that in there.

Austin 33:59

Probably we walked a lot during the friendship games when I was the coach? No, no, probably because we were, you know we walked a lot, was it during that? The friendship games where we went was?

Kevin 34:07

it. No, it was like anytime, like when I was like the coach, you know, we'd be walking back and forth to like making sure everyone was okay, stuff, like that. We did that shit for free guys, yeah, but I think I definitely think Comic Con was probably more where I walked, more the most probably.

Austin 34:21

Damn, I miss Comic Con I want to go back.

Angelo 34:24

Comic Con 50 year was amazing. That's my first one with you guys.

Kevin 34:28

I was not there for that one July 2019.

Angelo 34:31

Right before the pandemic, that was a good year.

Kevin 34:34

You weren't there.

Angelo 34:36

Was I there.

Kevin 34:36

I can't remember. I swear to God you were there. I might have been there for like a day or something. Didn't we have dinner together? I don't know. Didn't we have the steak dinner yeah weren't you there? No, that was, wasn't that 21?

Angelo 34:47

No, we had a steak dinner.

Kevin 34:48

The one we had steak was before Junior came. The one remember we had the Great Hotel. Yeah, Was it so you weren't there Omni? We had Omni, remember that was 21, right, I think it was 21.

Austin 35:02

Oh, so 2019.

Kevin 35:05

I don't think I went to that one Really yeah, because that's when I had the ramen shop.

Austin 35:11

Oh, that's right, I think we stopped by. Did we stop by, or something?

Kevin 35:15

Probably that ramen shop, bro. I can't remember, I don't know.

Austin 35:18

Because I went to D23 that year too, and I think we stopped by damn, d23 looks cute.

Kevin 35:22

Oh cool, you're so exclusive. What you're so cool?

Austin 35:27

you got the insight on Disney stuff well, that was like that one year and then after that we never got back. Because I have a kid now.

Kevin 35:33

Yeah what about you? What about you biggest, longest?

Austin 35:37

work in the Niner game probably like same thing 28,000, says but goddammit man Going from the field to Section 400s to give out coupons and going back on the field to look for fighter pilots, I mean it was great. It was great I think it was during the Detroit comeback.

Kevin 35:53

The NFC Championship game. That was a good one.

Austin 35:55

Oh man, I was about to cry, but anyways, yeah, that game was insane. But yeah, just walking around working those games, you're just walking a lot, but walking is great.

Austin 36:03

It's a great option, especially if you're starting out losing fat weight, like if you're looking for sound advice. These are just from a group of dudes who like to work out, but also a couple of us are coaches. One of us is actually a medical trained professional for SHIELD not gonna say his name, angelo, but thanks. I'm not going to say his name, angelo, thanks. But Milwaukee's great. But another thing that's also helped and, gabe, you can actually talk about this because I've been helping coach clients through this when we give food advice or nutrition advice, we always try to stay on the line of not giving medical or registered dietitian type scope of work but just staying very basic of like calories in, calories out, macros. And one of the biggest things that I've noticed that been helping clients and me myself is weighing the food. Yeah, weighing the food.

Gabe 36:52

Hell yeah.

Austin 36:52

How do you like? You always just go by grams, right, grams?

Gabe 36:56

yeah, fluid ounces, anything but grams, are usually my weigh, everything. Or how do you do it for you? For me, because I compete some, I do by like the gram, by by everything, um, but for clients and everything I don't have, like I'll have them measure to their best ability and then sometimes they don't know, and so then I'll say like, okay, um, I have a spreadsheet and I'll have them just take a picture of what they ate, because they don't know how to measure it. And they'll write in the comments like I'll have a photo. So then I'll look at it and I've been measuring for so long that I can kind of look at it and be like, oh, that's probably around like 50 grams of protein.

Gabe 37:23

This is probably like this much protein, and then like the calories, whatever.

Austin 37:25

That's pretty cool. You're like a food measuring AI right now. Yeah.

Angelo 37:31

That's how you process, like your algorithms like 100 grams, you get a picture of your glide and he's like, oh, that's 50 grams yeah 100 grams

Kevin 37:43

of carbs.

Angelo 37:43

You cool bro.

Kevin 37:44

You good, you're literally motorboating their pictures, brother. That's scary, bro. Oh burrito, oh burrito. That's great, that's great.

Gabe 37:55

Yeah, but for the most part, yeah. I mean yeah, same thing. I try not to go too out of the scope of practice, so it's just yeah, measure the food and just like, try to see within calories and protein and chilling.

Kevin 38:07

I love that you measure in grams, because it's just super precise too. I hate counting like ounces. Oh, 10.4 ounces.

Austin 38:14

And that could be grams. Yeah, it's like a general thing grams.

Kevin 38:18

It's just, you know, like, when it comes to like baking and measuring, it's like easier, easier, it's more precise you know what I mean because, like when it comes there's some baking recipes are like oh, one cup of flour right, or in grams it'll be like oh, 75 grams of flour, it's just more precise. You know, because when people scoop a cup they might not like scrape the top off, or they might be hella high.

Kevin 38:39

So it's like not precise, so that's why I prefer weighing grams when it comes to baking and stuff like that very clutch yeah, it shows people like how much they're eating.

Weight, Sleep, and Crypto Banter

Austin 38:47

Yeah for sure, like you bag of chips or bowl of chips like, oh, that's cool. I remember pouring some and I'm like, oh, that's a lot yeah yeah dude. But wait, one of the biggest feedbacks when I, you know, I tell my clients, just start weighing it. Buy a food scale on Amazon. Like yeah, we should start selling food scales.

Kevin 39:04

Yeah, hyper strength.

Austin 39:08

Food scales and then when they weigh it, you just hear Gabe go oh my God, I'd buy one.

Kevin 39:17

You know for sure that's sick.

Austin 39:19

But food scale. Amazon, you can buy it. Amazon, you can buy it. Don't buy the Dude. They're trying to sell that shit. We talked about TikTok. Tiktok shop tries to sell these weird scales for like 50 bucks. Yeah, and then you see it on Amazon for like $12.

Kevin 39:30

Yeah exactly that's what we're going to do. We're going to go to Timu Timu. We're going to order and then sell for like 20 bucks a piece.

Austin 39:42

Business.

Angelo 39:42

Business.

Kevin 39:44

That's how you make money.

Austin 39:45

But if you're having trouble, you know just, you don't have to always count the calories, but just weighing the food and seeing what you're putting in, you'll just naturally be more aware of it.

Kevin 39:54

Oh yeah, for sure.

Austin 39:55

I mean, that's just how it is. That's helped a lot. And then the third thing that I want to talk about was what was it? Was it sleeping?

Kevin 40:03

Yes, sleeping.

Angelo 40:04

No one sleeps.

Austin 40:05

People are hustle mode.

Angelo 40:07

I mean, that's our culture in America, right.

Gabe 40:09

Team no sleep. Team no sleep.

Kevin 40:11

I'll sleep when I die. You know what I mean. I'll sleep when I die.

Austin 40:15

I'll sleep when I die.

Kevin 40:17

Like damn.

Austin 40:18

I got to make this trade. Now I'm going to go Dogecoin to the moon Dogecoin. You guys still fuck with that Nah.

Angelo 40:26

I have Doge from like a long time ago. Yeah, me too.

Kevin 40:30

You know when everyone was on the crypto, I kind of like missed the train already. So I said I'm not going to invest in it because I just missed the train already. Because if you're getting into Bitcoin now, unless you have like a huge backing, then go for it. You know. But I remember when they're talking about Bitcoin as like StarCraft, like tournament winnings, you know, oh my God. And back then you know second place would get like 50 and like third place would get 20. And think about if you kept them now. Kept them now Like holy crap.

Kevin 41:01

Playing Starcraft, you just won.

Austin 41:03

How long ago was that?

Kevin 41:03

Dude, that was like 2010s.

Angelo 41:06

Yeah, damn, there's a Bitcoin… so if you want to go down that rabbit hole, there's a Bitcoin calculator to see, if you bought Bitcoin in a certain year, how much value it would have. Now. That's like really depressing.

Austin 41:15

But how much… but how?

Angelo 41:19

much could it be? Oh well, we won't know. I mean, there's projected figures, they're saying we already hit a we I'm not even part of that.

Kevin 41:25

Yeah, we already hit 100K Crypto boys baby.

Austin 41:29

Bitcoin already hit over 105K. Yeah, but then it could go to a trillion in 10 years.

Angelo 41:34

But like, and then a jillion in 20 years. But it's depressing like how much money you could have had because when you're talking about like 50-30 Bitcoin or whatever Dude you.

Austin 41:43

Yeah, I guess, but.

Angelo 41:44

No, dude, Hindsight, you know it's always hindsight, it's always 20-20.

Austin 41:46

Yeah, I mean if I hit that royal flush, that would have been nice.

Kevin 41:48

Yeah, it would have been sweet, but it is what it is man, yeah, but sleep yeah, sleep, sleep.

Austin 42:00

So, don't buy crypto and go to sleep.

Kevin 42:04

I mean, maybe you want to do that, or buy crypto and then make money while you sleep. That's how it works, that's how it should be.

Angelo 42:12

There's so many coins.

Austin 42:15

So, many coins bro.

Kevin 42:16

How many hours of sleep do you normally get a night? I know it's tough for you.

Gabe 42:20

Thanks to the whoop.

Angelo 42:23

Not sponsored. Actually, I have a promo code, so I'll put it in the show notes guys I am part of.

Austin 42:30

I am a whoop ambassador. I haven't really announced it, but thanks to whoop. I'm a gold member now. I average after junior got to sleep in a regular schedule seven hours, six and a half to seven hours sweet. After Junior got to sleep in a regular schedule seven hours, six and a half to seven hours sweet.

Kevin 42:48

I like that. Yeah, we're in bed by eight, jesus Christ.

Austin 42:52

That's nice, yeah, but I'm not sleeping until like nine ten eleven thirty well, I'm TikTok advanced. I was on reels and I couldn't take the experience this is just not the same, so I was stressing out. I couldn't take the experience. This is just not the same. So I was stressing out, I couldn't sleep, the algo's not the same, and then it just came back on in five hours. That's just stupid. I still kick myself for that. Yeah, that's what I do. Six and a half, you guys. Six and a half, six and a half.

Kevin 43:17

If I can, minimum for me. I could go on five. Six is like ideal. I might be in the lower end of this, but I think seven to eight for me is too much. Really, I feel groggy, like I just feel extra.

Gabe 43:33

So that's, why.

Kevin 43:33

I think five is good, six is like okay for me, but like seven to eight is just. I feel a little, just a little. I feel like I'm just sluggish, interesting, just a little.

Angelo 43:43

I feel like I'm just sluggish.

Kevin 43:43

So interesting, you're still using the CPAP right.

Angelo 43:46

CPAP boy, cpap boy, cpap boy. Yeah, I've noticed if. I when I regularly use my CPAP I'll do shorter sleeping hours, but then without it I'll try I sleep longer, but I think it's because we're actually breathing yeah no, for sure, when we sleep it's like oh yeah, I can think.

Kevin 44:04

Yeah, yeah, heart's okay, you ever like wake up and you didn't realize your CPAP fell off. And then you're like I have a major headache now.

Angelo 44:11

Austin 45:34

So what was it? What were we talking about? Okay, cool Walking.

Kevin 45:37

Walking. Walking weigh your food and sleep start with that.

Austin 45:43

If you're watching this, if you're in a New Year's resolution journey, don't know where to start, you want to try something. You don't have a workout plan. Try and implement those three things and I promise you you may see some type of results. But I'm excited for Kevin's Zempic journey yeah, but you know what.

Kevin 45:59

To be honest, though, if you guys tell us what you guys are doing, you know, like in the comments or whatever like, yeah, how many hours you like to sleep or how you like to weigh your food, you know. Because we want, we like to collaborate with other people. We'd like to hear what other people are doing too, because you know, you don't just learn by. You know by yourself, you learn from other people.

Austin 46:18

Speaking of learning of other people, with other people, from other people. I've been doing my cooking videos. Kevin, how am I doing?

Kevin 46:24

How's the chef? I was just like, you know. I was like is this why this fool asked me about some recipes earlier? And I was like damn dude, I don't know I was digging them and then the one he did was the one that made me laugh was the hot chocolate one.

Austin 46:40

Oh yeah, because I just added protein. It's like this, motherfucker made hot chocolate and I just added protein.

Kevin 46:46

And the worst part he missed filming the scooping of the of the protein part dude. It's hard to film while cooking, bro, I was literally like oh, you should get the necklace thing, oh, the necklace camera, yeah, the necklace like.

Austin 46:57

I might do that yeah.

Kevin 46:59

I tried. I bought one because I wanted to do cooking videos and then my phone was literally like this Because I have a fucking fat neck. So I was like I can't see dude. So I sent it back and I wrote out the. So I was like this thing's way too small. And they're like oh, we're so sorry, can we get you another one? I'm like is it bigger? They're like no, we only have one size. I'm like then so yeah, you know, but your video's been pretty cool.

Kevin 47:23

The turkey scramble you know that's a cheat code. You know what I mean.

Austin 47:27

I mean I tried, I mean I also launched the garlic shrimp noodles. That was like the big one, yeah you know what I got?

Kevin 47:34

this digital book for really good recipes. I'll send it over to you.

Angelo 47:38

Nice, Really yeah yeah.

Austin 47:42

And we'll talk it off camera.

Gabe 47:44

Oh, secrets bro.

Kevin 47:44

Secret recipes yeah, but yeah, dude, They've been fun. So, Thank you, I want to. You should make like a joke one, though I want to like a not serious one.

Austin 47:55

Oh. I was going to do like a, like a big ass sandwich, or something Like I was going to be like oh, here's a high protein sandwich and I was going to make like a regular sandwich and then add a ribeye on top.

Angelo 48:02

And a scoop of protein.

Kevin 48:05

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure I like that. That'd be sick.

Austin 48:08

Oh yeah, but yeah, dude, anything else you guys are doing that you guys are excited about for 2025?

Kevin 48:18

I actually have a question, Sure For Gabe oh okay, yeah, for.

Gabe 48:21

Gabe.

Kevin 48:22

Okay, so like we were talking about, like you know our goals of like lifting stuff, like that, how, like for me, I have problems with deadlift, right, like, how do you make your? How do you lift more for deadlift, like, is it preparation, like other exercises, like getting muscles, like hitting different things, like, but how do you make your deadlift better? Everything, everything.

Gabe 48:46

No, it's a…. Everybody's body is different.

Strength, Weight Loss, Goals, and Boba

Kevin 48:47

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Gabe 48:48

When you look at the three lifts. When you lose weight, your deadlift will go up Usually Almost always, like lots of times bigger guys there's their guts in the way sometimes If you lose weight. Then you can comfortably wedge yourself in there a little bit more. Facts so that is one thing with weight loss that you can kind of see the lift increase, kevin.

Kevin 49:07

No, it's true, I know, but like as soon as he said it, I was like yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, I was like facts, facts.

Austin 49:16

I understand that.

Gabe 49:18

Yeah, yeah, Honestly, for the most part it's just following a program.

Kevin 49:21

Okay, so consistency.

Gabe 49:23

Consistency, consistency. And then, of course, your technique Someone just looking something of their form you never know. So technique consistency, anything Technique and protein Lose the gut.

Austin 49:39

What is a full rep for a deadlift? Is it? You lift off the ground, right, you're holding on to it. You lift it up and then you let it down and then you let go.

Gabe 49:44

Yes, or you lift it up and then you let go. Never let go of the top. That's my rule of thumb for my clients. Like you'll never see any of my clients oh yeah so we never let go for me. Lift. You lose gains there. That's where all the gains are at.

Kevin 49:57

The eccentric portion. So we lift it up Full extension, all the way up, and then don't drop it, don't drop it. Just bring it all the way down.

Gabe 50:04

Control all the way down. I'm not saying go slow, control it down. That's some good hamstring tension, dude I dropped it.

Angelo 50:11

One time we were doing triples I dropped 305 right above my knee. I was like, oh, it hurts so fucking bad yeah why was your knee in the way?

Kevin 50:23

look at him flex it too like yeah, I just dropped triple 305 on my knee because I was trying to hit a certain number 915

Angelo 50:30

what no, no, we were doing shut up anyway.

Kevin 50:34

But yeah, you're right. Yeah, don't jump from that because I hit.

Angelo 50:37

like a good thing it didn't hit on my knee, but it was right above it. It hurt so fucking bad dude.

Austin 50:43

Yeah, so thank Control, control, control it down Actually before I tell you, before I forget to tell you guys and this is open to you guys too what was it At the gym? We have a new coach, michelle. We drafted her from Stretch Lab, gave her a multi-figure dollar deal for multiple multiple months but she's bringing her talents to hyper strength and doing complimentary table stretches.

Austin 51:11

If you guys want to take advantage of that table stretches yeah, I know you're taking a break, but feel free to come in and just take advantage of a 15 minute table stretch. She'll put you on the table, she'll stretch you out, do the massage gun like work on.

Kevin 51:22

I thought it was like learn how to stretch using a table.

Angelo 51:26

No, oh, I mean you can put your arm on the niggle like that.

Austin 51:30

No, but she'll actually manual stretch you. Oh, that's cool. That's a boba and yoga event soon. I'm trying to figure that out. Boba and yoga oh okay, here's a question. Would you guys do a boba yoga event Saturday morning or Sunday morning?

Kevin 51:44

Sunday morning Sunday morning now, because football's gonna be done soon.

Angelo 51:47

Okay, either or, but it sounds fun.

Gabe 51:51

Sundays are my recovery day, that'd be perfect.

Austin 51:53

So Sunday morning, so boba and yoga.

Kevin 51:56

I think boba and yoga on Saturday, and then yoga and brunch on Sunday.

Angelo 52:01

Oh.

Kevin 52:02

Why are you so sad? I'm just throwing that out there. I'm just making your life more difficult.

Austin 52:07

You're just making me hungry now, my caloric deficit. I'm fucking hungry as shit.

Kevin 52:13

Yeah, we should rent out Bill's Cafe and then you do yoga next to your table and then your eggs benedict come out.

Angelo 52:16

You mean like yoga next to your table and then your eggs are going to come out. You're like you'll get next to the and you can do a half and half Kind of dirty, just for it, probably.

Austin 52:24

I mean the steak and eggs, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, so boba yoga.

Kevin 52:29

Boba yoga sounds interesting.

Austin 52:31

Sunday morning, saturday morning.

Kevin 52:33

Angelo 52:43

Austin 52:54

So well. Well, there was one vendor that we used for Junior's first birthday.

Kevin 52:58

Oh yeah, that's right.

Austin 53:00

I kind of like them. They're kind of pricey. So I hire them Teaspoon, I don't make money. I actually owe money if I make, if we hire them right, I can ask my uncle.

Gabe 53:10

He owns a Clippy's.

Kevin 53:11

Wait, shut up.

Gabe 53:12

It's only in Patterson, but he man, that's awesome what's halfway I?

Austin 53:40

You wanted to do a strongman games yeah oh that'd be sick yeah how would that? How would that work? Would it be a strongman games for beginners?

Gabe 53:49

Austin 53:56

Yes, yeah, oh dude, world's Strongest man stuff, yes, yeah, oh, dude, I used to love watching that. So there'd be a car lift or what. What would the?

Gabe 54:00

events be. That's the thing. I don't know what equipment we have. It depends on the equipment we get right. Yeah, that's true, oh, real quickly. A life goal. This isn't a year goal, but a life goal. There's different stones in and then, like, I think, like 20 guys or something have lifted it.

Austin 54:20

Wait time out. How heavy is it? There's a.

Gabe 54:22

Thor hammer. That needs to be different stones in different countries and they're known, so they have different names and they'll like. You can lift it up and then you can be like one of the persons that lifted them up.

Kevin 54:32

And then the.

Austin 54:34

Folkster yeah.

Gabe 54:35

Gabe 55:06

It's improving over there. Okay, they've done that, yeah but yeah, in terms of games, something grip related, something make them fun, because, like if you look at the old strongman games. They had a lot of cool stuff. They did Like a tire throw, then they had the grip going on.

Austin 55:18

A tire throw. They had like a kettlebell, throw right the cake, throw, the cake throw.

Kevin 55:26

Or the ones that used to be sick. The log flips, where there's like three logs and they had to flip them over.

Austin 55:31

Kevin 55:34

Those were sick too. You know they used to do the arm wrestling too. Back in the day with like what's his name?

Austin 56:05

I'm excited for you. Thank you. Well, this wraps up our first official episode back season 3 Nerd Out Workout podcast.

Kevin 56:12

That's it. That's it. How do you guys feel? It's the first episode with us. First episode with us, man, it's cool.

Angelo 56:17

I've never done this, so thanks for inviting us. Can I say one more thing, though? Sure, since we're talking about goals and stuff, I think it's important to say just start small, don't overwhelm yourself with outrageous big goals. It's always good to have an end goal, but sometimes, when you look at the distance, it's too far, so you just got to take it one step at a time. It's like running a marathon Wait for the water, stop it's every two miles and just incrementally increase your… and just chill there.

Angelo 56:43

Yeah, chill, there have a couple of snacks, but you know, just start small that way you start building, get it over. You don't even have to walk like a half mile, walk down the street, just like.

Gabe 56:53

Start small, small bites small and it gets easier and every goal you reach, it gets easier and you just keep going yeah, over intensity yeah just like don't get too.

Angelo 57:03

I mean, I get discouraged a lot with my own goals, but you just gotta start somewhere and eventually you're like oh, it's actually not too bad, it's not as daunting as you think it to be.

Kevin 57:10

So thank you for that stay motivated yeah final thoughts, any thoughts, just do it.

Austin 57:19

I'm just kidding, no, no.

Kevin 57:20

Angela, just do it. That was well said, sir.

Austin 57:22
