00:00:00.000 What is up guys, it's Andy Priscilla and this is the show for the realist's sake about 0.98

00:00:21.000 the lies, the fakeness and delusions of modern society and welcome to motherfucking reality. 0.79

00:00:25.480 Guys, today I have a very special episode for you. Before I get into it, I'd like to remind 0.98

00:00:34.700 you of the fee. The fee is very simple. If you like the show, if it taught you something,

00:00:40.520 if it made you think, if it gave you a new perspective, if it was good value, share the

00:00:47.500 show for us. We do this for free. I don't run ads on the show. I don't run ads for the show.

00:00:52.720 We run the show completely on word of mouth. And I think this is going to be a show that

00:00:56.320 you're definitely going to want to share because it's going to be a 75 hard show. And I know

00:01:00.160 a lot of you guys are just starting 75 hard. You're just kind of in the first week or so

00:01:07.780 of it. You're probably really sore. You're probably figuring out like this is actually a lot harder

00:01:12.460 than what the fuck I thought it was. And we're going to talk about those things today with 0.90

00:01:16.480 my friend Savannah. How are you? So good. Yeah. How was the trip up? It was, I had a banger.

00:01:23.200 Yeah, you did. A fender bender. A little, little, little bump to the bump. Yeah. Oh, well, it's

00:01:27.940 just stuff. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you got here safely. I am too. So you're from Nashville.

00:01:33.120 Yes. Born and raised. One of the last ones around. It's getting, uh, it's getting big down

00:01:38.740 there, huh? Yeah. We keep getting all these Californians. No offense to you guys, but please

00:01:42.980 leave. No, no, no. All offense. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it kind of sucks now. You know what,

00:01:48.440 dude? I don't have a problem with California guys. It's just like, don't go doing the same

00:01:52.280 shit here. Right. Yeah. If you're going to move vote red, don't bring in your crap where 1.00

00:01:59.460 everything was fine. Yeah. Or maybe just think about like, man, why did I move? Okay. I moved 0.99

00:02:04.200 because of this and this and this. What caused this? Yeah. This, this, this, let's do some critical

00:02:08.380 thinking. You know what I'm saying? Oh yeah. So I feel you, man. You know, I love the Midwest.

00:02:13.420 It's, it's my place. And, uh, Nashville always feels like home to me when I go there.

00:02:18.320 It's so cool here. I just, I feel like just looking around, it seems like there's so much

00:02:23.080 history here and I wish I had time to learn. It's very similar to, to Nashville, I think.

00:02:27.620 Really? Yeah. Like you guys have a little bit more of a hilly landscape in my opinion,

00:02:31.180 but like the people, the culture, the history, we've got a lot of civil war history around here.

00:02:36.200 Yeah. Things like that. Like it's, it's very, uh, I think it's very similar. Like every time I

00:02:40.920 really go to Nashville, I'm like, man, I could definitely live here. Yeah. You

00:02:44.320 know? Yeah. Emily was saying that you guys had your bachelor and bachelorette 0.61

00:02:46.720 parties there. We did. Yeah. You guys need to come back. Yeah, we do. I do. I, uh, I love

00:02:51.540 that city. So, so 75 hard. Yes. Let's talk about that. Let's do. So when did you, uh, what

00:03:01.920 made you decide that you wanted to do this? Um, I was basically the most rock bottom I've

00:03:07.800 ever been in my life. Um, I don't know how you feel about crying because it might happen.

00:03:13.520 We'll see. Um, I had just had my daughter Riley, um, and it was very unexpected. Like

00:03:22.100 I was planning on doing it naturally and everything. And then ended up having a C-section, which

00:03:25.980 you know, when you're told you're going to have a surgery in 10 seconds and rushed into

00:03:30.720 a room and get sliced open from hip to hip, it's traumatizing. Um, and then we're

00:03:37.800 you know, I was dealing with that recovery. And right after that, like three weeks after

00:03:43.780 that, my left knee dislocated out of nowhere. I was not even doing anything cool. It just

00:03:50.420 popped out. So I had to go to the hospital for that. And then two weeks later, my other

00:03:54.020 knee dislocated. No way. Yes. It kept life interesting. I guess you could say. I'd say.

00:03:59.740 You weren't looking at it that way. Because I was like, I was so scared to even move or go

00:04:04.480 up and down the stairs holding my daughter because I was scared that my, like, I was

00:04:08.280 just going to fall apart. Yeah. Um, damn dude. I wouldn't even think of that. Yeah.

00:04:12.680 Yeah. I was so scared. And then, so that kind of just exacerbated like the whole hormonal

00:04:18.760 postpartum depression, anxiety, everything. And so that happened just me feeling that way

00:04:24.600 for like four months. And I was like downing a bottle of wine a night and just like, just

00:04:30.920 trying to suppress all of the fears and everything. And because of that, I was like the world's

00:04:37.080 shittiest mom ever. Yeah. Um, I was not waking up in the night to her cries. I had no business 0.95

00:04:43.320 being anybody's mom at that point. Yeah. And I was just like, what the fuck am I doing?

00:04:48.100 Yeah. Yeah. I felt horrible, but I also felt horrible. So like, that's why I was drinking 0.99

00:04:53.760 so much. And my friend Allie, she was in the middle of doing 75 parts. She was like a weekend.

00:05:00.500 And so she made a video on Instagram and put it up. And I was like, that's weird. She never

00:05:05.940 really does videos. I'll watch this. And I got halfway through and she was talking about

00:05:11.160 like how it's changed her life and all you have to do. And that's when I decided I was

00:05:16.460 like, all right, I'm starting tomorrow. I messaged her that and I did. And yeah, that's

00:05:22.200 how I got into it. So what were you expecting to get out of the program?

00:05:27.240 Life. Yeah. I was on it. I mean, did you like do any research or you just saw her do

00:05:31.660 it and you're like, I'm doing it too. She sent me episode 14, the podcast. And so I listened

00:05:35.560 to that, but, um, I didn't do as much planning as I've heard other people have done going into

00:05:42.460 it. I actually think that the people who just jump right in do way better. I mean, that's

00:05:46.220 what I found. Like people who plan this shit out. Yeah. Um, they're just buying back into 1.00

00:05:51.340 their old habits. Right. Like, like, that's why I tell people, I'm like, dude, the day

00:05:55.160 you hear of 75 are, you should start that day or the next day. Right. Like the fucking 0.90

00:05:58.720 day you hear the first time you hear my voice or see someone or you think at all like, dude, 0.99

00:06:03.380 I want to do this. You should go and make the commitment right there. I'm fucking finishing

00:06:06.820 it because I find that a lot of people, they do the same thing, you know, like that we, 0.97

00:06:10.700 I'm sure you've done this before, but like I used to do this thing where it's like,

00:06:13.880 you know, I'm going to start on Monday. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? A lot of people

00:06:16.600 do. Yeah, bro. And then like a cop out. Oh dude. And then like Monday and Tuesday

00:06:20.860 weren't the problem. Right. Like I could stick to the diet Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday,

00:06:25.260 all the way through the day, I could stick to the diet and then it would come to Wednesday

00:06:28.920 night and I'd be like, man, I got two good days, you know, and I'd come up with some

00:06:32.580 compromise. And then Thursday night I'd go to happy hour. Then Friday night I'd go to happy

00:06:36.000 hour and Saturday I'd go drinking. Yeah. And it just would, you know, I'll start again on

00:06:40.560 Monday. I can understand starting on Monday if you're doing anything except for 75 hard,

00:06:45.540 because you know, there's rest days with working out and you can time it with the weekend

00:06:49.740 to hang out with your friends. But with 75 hard, you're giving up almost three months

00:06:53.020 of all of that. So it doesn't matter what fucking days. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. And I 0.99

00:06:58.500 think the sooner or the longer that you wait, the more reasons that your, your, your bitch 1.00

00:07:05.200 voice brain is going to talk you out of it. Exactly. You know what I mean? So starting it 1.00

00:07:10.140 out, you know, um, what'd you think starting out? Um, I thought it was funny cause I can't

00:07:18.900 hide what I'm feeling on my face at all. It's a blessing and a curse. Dude. I, I got that

00:07:24.140 same thing. I got that same thing. I know all about it. I've been calling out on it since

00:07:29.780 I was like 10. Yeah, dude. And in fact, like my normal face, like everybody says, wretchy,

00:07:34.340 resting bitch face. That's my normal fucking face. I know. Same. Yeah. Everybody's like, dude, 1.00

00:07:38.540 Andy, why are you always so pissed off? I'm like, bro, I can't help it. I was fucking

00:07:41.560 born looking like this. I have, I'm not mad. I have ladies at restaurants come up to me 1.00

00:07:45.640 all the time. They're like, who killed your dog? And I'm like, nobody. Like I'm, I'm so

00:07:50.780 happy right now. Yeah. I get it. Um, what was I going to say? No, we were going to talk

00:07:57.040 about, uh, you know what you're like, let's say walk through the first couple of weeks of

00:08:01.460 this. Right. So I, um, got on Instagram on day one and I was like, I'm doing this. I'm

00:08:08.060 finishing it, but you could hear in my voice, like how not excited I was when, and kind of

00:08:13.520 also how I was feeling. And every single week on Sunday I documented and like kind of did

00:08:21.200 a weekly recap, which I'm so glad I did because I can't hide what's on my mind or my face.

00:08:28.180 I could see myself change the whole way through. And I watched that every so often, not to be

00:08:33.680 vain, but just to remind myself, like, holy crap. Like I am so different now. Do you ever 0.94

00:08:39.880 look back at like the day, like, you know how, like you're saying you went right into

00:08:43.120 it and you were at rock bottom. One of the things that I think is important to note is

00:08:48.940 how actually strong you were at that time. Because one of the things I look back at when

00:08:54.060 I was like, when I was really heavy and out of shape was I thought I was so weak, but I

00:09:00.380 actually was strong enough to push through the hardest part, which is those first 15

00:09:03.920 or 16 days. You know, like you ever look back now and think like, damn, dude, I was 0.96

00:09:08.500 a little bit tougher than what I thought. 0.91

00:09:09.920 Oh, I knew I was tough because I went through a C-section and two random knee dislocations.

00:09:14.620 So like, and I was still working and still taking my daughter to work. And so like, I knew

00:09:20.740 I had what it took. I just wasn't doing what needed to be done to get there. You know what

00:09:25.260 I mean? Yeah. What, what are some of the differences that you, that you've, you know,

00:09:29.300 developed or learned about yourself? Um, just in, you know, in all areas.

00:09:35.280 Um, well I'm pregnant again. I don't know if you know that. Thank you. This is a heck of

00:09:42.600 a way to announce that to the world. Everyone, there's another baby in me. Um, I just,

00:09:50.400 so no beers a day, huh? No, absolutely not. Not for nine months. So that's another reason

00:09:56.840 why I started again. I'm kind of doing experiments to see if I, you know, that's funny. We just

00:10:01.600 had a question on the show. I know I was going to say, I'm so glad that someone asked that

00:10:05.120 because the answer is yes, ladies and gentlemen, you can, you can, if you dare. Um, I think anxiety

00:10:13.120 and stuff and you know, all that, it just comes with parenthood in general. So I've learned,

00:10:18.120 um, there's always something to worry about, but when it gets super, super powerful, I now

00:10:24.840 know what to do to fix it. Because the fact that essentially the second I started 75 hard

00:10:31.360 and I was doing that to set aside time for just me and doing the work that I need to do

00:10:36.860 on me, I was 10 million times the mom, like instantly, instantly from day one, because I

00:10:45.140 was putting aside that time for me because you can't give what you don't have. That's right.

00:10:48.960 So I, if I'm burning myself out, only taking care of my daughter and I have absolutely nothing in my

00:10:54.800 stores, how am I supposed to give her the love and attention and, you know, focus that she needs 0.99

00:10:59.360 or even be prepared and have clean pajamas for her. If I'm like depressed, laying on the couch,

00:11:04.900 watching game of Thrones, drinking wine, like, you know, and that's the paradox that people,

00:11:08.940 people learn on the program, right? Yeah. Um, you've talked to, I'm sure a bunch of people

00:11:13.800 who've done the program. Almost every single person that tells me, uh, about the program

00:11:17.700 tells me some version of what you just said. Yeah. They say, dude, I thought it was going to

00:11:21.960 take up all my time. And in fact, what it did was it showed me that I'm wasting a lot of my time.

00:11:26.280 Yeah. I was reading a book and it was talking about how, uh, 20% of your effort makes up 80%

00:11:33.660 of your results. So if you, if you put the big stones in your bucket first and take care of the big

00:11:38.840 stuff first, the little smaller stuff that doesn't have to get done, like the sand and the little

00:11:43.720 stones, they'll fit in that bucket. But if you put that stuff in first, the big stones won't fit

00:11:47.860 ever, ever. Yeah. Never, ever. What were your results? Um, I lost 34 pounds. I've lost 40. Now

00:11:54.100 I've lost a few more since I finished. That's awesome. Yeah. It was a lot. I went from,

00:12:00.080 I think I got pregnant last time at one 55 and I ended at 215 pounds. That's incredible because like,

00:12:07.180 I can't even see you at 215. It was, I was a monster. It's like, I'm five one. Yeah.

00:12:13.340 Fuck. Yeah. That's crazy. I was a huge, I need to show you. Um, it looked like fat me eight real 1.00

00:12:20.580 me right now. Listen, I can relate to that too. You see my pictures. Oh my gosh. Yeah. You look

00:12:28.220 incredible now. Oh, thank you. Well, I'm, I've, I've regressed because of this little injury I'm

00:12:33.700 dealing with, but I appreciate it. I'll be back. You know what it is? It's the same thing. It's

00:12:38.240 the same thing you were saying. Like, it's like, fuck. All right, this sucks. I gotta do something 1.00

00:12:42.580 about it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Versus this sucks. I'm just going to sit on the sideline and

00:12:46.380 let it do what it does. Yeah. Which is the easiest thing to do. That's right. And that's what most

00:12:49.960 people do. You know, 10% of their life gets fucked up. So they fuck up the other, the other 90% just 0.99

00:12:55.660 because the 10% and they sell clean it up later. And like, dude, that's just, then it never

00:12:59.720 happens. It never happens. And it spirals over and over and over and over again. You know, when I

00:13:04.580 started, uh, when I started in on this program, I had never gone more than six days without

00:13:08.920 achievement. I didn't even know if I could fucking do that. Like when I, when I said 75 days, I'm like, 0.97

00:13:13.540 holy shit, dude. But I mean, dude, the first Sunday came and went the second Sunday came and went the 0.81

00:13:19.300 third Sunday came and went. And I was like, this is really not that hard, you know? And it totally

00:13:24.060 changed my perspective on what I was able to accomplish because I had a huge mental block that had been 0.98

00:13:29.640 conditioned in me that you had to have a cheat day every fucking week. Yes. You know, the best 0.99

00:13:33.620 thing I ever heard on 75 was your stomach does not have eyes. Yeah. That if you eat nutrient dense

00:13:41.060 food, even though you really want whatever it is you want, like the second you're full, it's over.

00:13:48.000 Dude, that's a good point. Your stomach does not have eyes. That's a good point because I do that

00:13:52.920 and I don't even talk about it like work. Cause it's not like I don't have cravings for other things.

00:13:56.700 Yeah. It's not like I don't want a pizza. Oh, we all do. Yeah. Like people think that this,

00:14:00.740 like this doesn't eliminate those things. Like you're all going to have those craving. You're

00:14:05.620 going to walk by that pizza place and smell that shit outside and be like, fuck, that smells good. 1.00

00:14:10.280 And then you're going to look at everybody inside and be like, what about your fat asses? And then 1.00

00:14:13.060 you're gonna keep walking. You know what I'm saying? A craving is not your stomach telling you what you

00:14:16.780 want. It's your brain. And the whole point of this program is to beat your brain. That's it,

00:14:20.780 dude. And like every single, every single temptation you start to see as a test against

00:14:27.360 this program. And what you start to realize is that you are building your discipline muscle along

00:14:32.860 the way. And like, dude, if you would just stick to your diet and you get that way and you start

00:14:37.340 having a mental craving that you can't just push through eat your next meal. You know what I'm

00:14:42.060 saying? That's literally only next step that you need to take. It's just fill your stomach because

00:14:45.960 that's literally all your body's telling you. That's a great point. Yeah. I've never even talked

00:14:49.420 about that before, but that is great. Yeah. So what, what do you, what would you say to people

00:14:53.620 who are thinking about it? Well, just the, I know a lot of people just say, just do it,

00:14:59.720 which I mean, yes, but, um, that you have nothing to lose, but excuses is my number one thing.

00:15:06.220 Um, what do you do? What do you do now when you catch yourself making excuses? Cause cause I know

00:15:11.220 like I still see, I think one of the biggest things that 75 hard does is it makes you aware of your

00:15:16.500 excuses. Right. Um, actually I was, I was telling them earlier, um, the best book that I read on 75

00:15:24.020 hard the first time was, uh, five second rule by Mel Robbins. Have you read that one? I haven't,

00:15:28.980 but I'm familiar with concept. Yeah. So your brain, like the second that you decide that you need to

00:15:35.160 have to, or want to, should to anything, do something, whether it's waking up early, you know,

00:15:41.080 sitting down to do some work, doing your homework, blah, blah, blah. You're, you have five seconds

00:15:47.060 from when you think that thought, like, I need to have to do this. You have five, four, three, two,

00:15:51.740 one before your brain can start, um, making excuses and finding reasons why you shouldn't.

00:15:58.760 So ever since reading that book, I, I don't make excuses really.

00:16:02.760 So the thought pings in your head and you just go, yeah, I have to, dude, I get it.

00:16:07.120 You have to. And so that was like one of the most helpful tools I, I got in 75 hard was just,

00:16:12.760 um, that cons, like if I'm sitting on the couch, you know, watching TV, which, you know,

00:16:19.980 is another one of my vices, one of my favorite pastimes, cause it's easy. Um, and yeah, I'll

00:16:27.180 just, I mean, Oh, I still have my outside workouts and I just turn it, I turn it, I turn

00:16:32.260 it off and I go outside. Yeah. I don't finish the episode. I don't say, Oh, start at five.

00:16:37.660 Like, no, I just get up and go. That's a huge deal, man. It's sort of like the production

00:16:41.420 pivot that we talk about here, which is basically the same concept in a different way. Um, you

00:16:49.020 know, when you're laying on that couch and you start to think these things, you know,

00:16:53.740 you have to go do, it's basically the same thing. It's just called something else. Um, but

00:16:58.700 you know, when you have that, that, you know, like for me, like when I get home at night,

00:17:03.520 like yesterday, I still had outdoor cardio to do because I wasn't able to do it here.

00:17:07.900 I got home, I sat down in my, in my garage. I got some chairs in there. I was sitting down,

00:17:12.100 I was chilling. I'm like, fuck, I still got to do outdoor. And like, dude, I got the fuck up 0.99

00:17:17.320 and went and moved. Yeah. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, just go. Yeah, dude. And that's a thing that I think that 0.60

00:17:22.640 concept has been something that has driven my personal success, um, to another level since I

00:17:30.580 figured that out, uh, you know, a number of years ago, which was, I don't know when it was,

00:17:35.080 but it's something that I've been teaching for a long time. And, um, you know, when, so when you

00:17:39.360 guys have thoughts and you guys have, uh, frustrations and you guys have net, you know,

00:17:44.020 comfort thoughts, meaning like, you know, this bullshit that we all tell us, Oh man, I had a long 0.60

00:17:48.340 day. I don't feel, I still got that, but you know, no one's going to know, or, you know, or, 0.83

00:17:55.540 you know, I don't know. Like, I, I don't know if I feel like maybe this would be the day that I just

00:18:00.780 start over tomorrow. Like you start thinking that shit, you got to fucking go. You got to get the 1.00

00:18:04.900 fuck up, put on your shoes and go outside and work out. And like, I think that concept, it applies 0.96

00:18:10.840 in, in literally every area of life. And it turns you from someone who makes excuses to someone

00:18:18.140 who can then use those excuses to actually get better. Because dude, if you can use the excuses

00:18:23.500 and the justifications that your brain comes up with to actually improve, you have a competitive 1.00

00:18:29.520 advantage over everybody else because everybody else hears that shit and they're powerless to it. 1.00

00:18:34.120 Yeah. Right. But when, let's say it's a work thing, right? Like, uh, Oh fuck, I got to call Joe 1.00

00:18:41.840 and Joe's kind of a dick. I don't really want to talk to Joe. You know what you got to do? You'll pick 1.00

00:18:45.840 up a fucking phone and call Joe and five minutes after that, you're going to feel good. You know 1.00

00:18:49.600 what I mean? And that's part of controlling this, this, this powerless feeling that we have and this

00:18:55.840 anxious feeling that we all have. And, and I've discovered that the anxious feeling that we all

00:19:02.560 have doesn't necessarily come from the work that we have to do. It comes from us knowing that we have

00:19:10.020 to do the work. Yeah. Right. Like it's not the work that's that bad. It's the, it's the thinking

00:19:16.060 and the overanalyzing and the, and, and the knowing. And then like, once you take those first two or

00:19:21.720 three steps towards that, that all goes away. That's, I'm so glad you said that because my

00:19:25.440 very worst day, I still had two workouts to do at like nine o'clock. And I literally, my husband was

00:19:31.860 like, you need to get out there and get it done. You're going to be up so late. I'm like, I know it's

00:19:35.740 like when outside, I was like, you know, crying, sniffling, patting so hard. And I actually made

00:19:41.220 a video that day and I look back at it now. I'm like, what is, what is this? Like, yeah,

00:19:47.320 but dude, how proud were you at the end of that day? So proud. And I looking back now that those 45

00:19:53.400 minutes that I hated so bad, then I don't even think about them now. It's not going to ruin your

00:19:59.260 life. It's not going to kill you. Like those 45 minutes are going to pass whether you're working

00:20:04.220 out or not. That's it. You should absolutely be working out. What was your, was that your,

00:20:08.360 uh, was that your hardest day? The day it's on my 75 heart story reel. You'll know which one it is.

00:20:14.740 I haven't seen it, but I'm going to watch it. What's your Instagram? So people can watch this.

00:20:18.820 It's underscore, underscore, the Sims, underscore, underscore, underscore, underscore, the Sims,

00:20:24.380 two Ms, underscore, underscore. Yes. All right. So dude, I remember my hardest day. I can fucking

00:20:29.820 tell you exactly what it was. It was the first time I went through. Um, we had RTA summit here 0.99

00:20:36.040 in St. Louis. Uh, I, I was, I did my morning workout, um, in the gym. I had to go speak literally

00:20:44.200 all day, speak and teach all day, do dinner, do the whole thing, dude. And that shit, like for those 1.00

00:20:49.240 of you who don't do that, that speaking is legitimately one of the most exhausting things 1.00

00:20:53.940 you can do because there's a period of preparation. There's a period of, uh, of emotional energy

00:21:00.740 delivery. And, and, you know, there's anxiety, all kinds of things going to play when you're

00:21:05.380 going to teach. I don't care how good you are. Um, it's just part of the deal. And so when you get

00:21:08.840 done, you know, I think I spoke twice that day for maybe an hour and a half each time. And, uh,

00:21:15.020 bro, I was fucking exhausted. And I remember I got home and it was like one o'clock in the morning 0.97

00:21:20.060 and I'm like, fuck, I still gotta do my cardio. And I, I took my bike. I had a, uh, upright bike. 0.97

00:21:27.020 I pulled it out in the driveway and it's like two o'clock in the morning, dude. And I live in an

00:21:30.920 at this, I lived, it was not at my new, the house I'm living at now, but at my last house, 0.96

00:21:35.900 which is a nice subdivision, you know, like there's like a lot of successful people in there and shit. 0.95

00:21:40.220 Right. And I'm out there at two o'clock in the morning, riding the bike. And dude, I literally 0.97

00:21:46.680 was falling asleep on the fucking bike. Like I can remember pedaling and like, sort of like 0.99

00:21:52.340 phasing out of it and then waking up and it was like 38 minutes in and I'm like, holy fuck, 0.98

00:21:58.260 I'm almost done. And then that last, like, you know, seven or eight minutes was just like brutal. 0.98

00:22:03.240 Yeah. But I remember getting done with that and being like, that's what the fuck it is, man. 0.99

00:22:07.520 And I can still remember that it was three, three years ago. And I still remember that one workout. 0.99

00:22:12.760 And that's where everything switched for me, where I was like, dude, I got this shit. 1.00

00:22:16.680 Nobody could fucking do this. Nobody could fuck with me. You know what I mean? And that's the, 1.00

00:22:20.500 that's the benefit of these, of these workouts outdoors in the elements in, in the, you know,

00:22:28.240 that are inconvenient because most of us guys, we don't, we don't attempt to do things when

00:22:34.640 they're inconvenient. We don't attempt to do things when the, uh, situation isn't ideal for us to go.

00:22:42.000 We are told and we are, we are hammered with mediocre mentality everywhere we look. I mean,

00:22:48.640 you look in the magazines, you look on TV, you look on the internet, you look everywhere. So it

00:22:52.940 doesn't seem abnormal to be that way. But the truth is, if you're going to accomplish anything,

00:22:57.500 or if you're going to develop any power in yourself ever, you are going to have to attack 0.99

00:23:01.840 the shit that is inconvenient. And I can remember doing that. And after that workout, dude, I mean, 0.99

00:23:07.140 I've done a lot of hard workouts after that. I remember another one I did last year, uh, in

00:23:11.300 January where it was minus 18 degrees and it was fucking snowing. And I was outside doing cardio 0.96

00:23:16.360 and I had all my snow shit on. You guys remember this? People thought I was at fucking thought I 0.92

00:23:20.780 was skiing. They're like, bro, what mountain you on? I'm like, I call my driveway, dude. Like I'm out 0.99

00:23:25.660 here getting this cardio. They're like, you're doing cardio. I'm like, yeah. I'll never forget one

00:23:30.220 night I was, I was really sore. So I was doing two outdoor walks. Um, the one night and a friend of

00:23:36.660 mine, her mom lives in my neighborhood. And so she was visiting her mom for the evening. And

00:23:41.240 you know, she saw me as I was walking the first time. And then a couple hours later I was out,

00:23:47.240 it was like, you know, 11 o'clock when she was leaving. And she calls me, she's like,

00:23:50.740 are you okay? Like I saw you walking earlier in the rain and now you're doing it again. Like,

00:23:57.280 are you and Patrick okay? I'm like, yeah, I'm fine. I'm just doing 75. She's like, you're crazy.

00:24:03.200 Dude, I have people come up and stop their car and be like, man, you need help. 0.97

00:24:07.080 Like, no, I got this bro. No, I'm good. I'm supposed to be out here.

00:24:11.280 Yeah, dude. But I like that stuff. Yeah. Like I like that stuff because when I'm doing those

00:24:15.540 things, I'm thinking in my head, like I'm thinking like, I actually, what I think about

00:24:19.720 my head is all my business competitors. Like, that's what I think about. I don't know what

00:24:24.700 you guys all think about. I can tell you what I think about. I think about this. I know that every

00:24:28.480 motherfucker I compete with in business ain't doing that. Every single one. When I see motherfuckers 1.00

00:24:33.560 on vacation, it motivates me to go work. Like for real. Like I'm twisted as fuck when 1.00

00:24:37.980 it comes to that. But like, dude, when I'm out there in the snow and it's 11 o'clock at 0.98

00:24:42.820 night and no one else is doing anything, dude, there's an immense sense of fucking value to 0.94

00:24:48.400 that. You know, like you get home and you're like, dude, no one's fucking doing that. Like 0.98

00:24:53.200 no one, no one just did that. Like no one on the planet just did what I just did. And like, dude,

00:24:59.020 that's a powerful feeling. Yeah. And some people never, ever, ever felt that before in their entire

00:25:04.080 life. And what you have to understand is that by tackling things, whether it be, you know, in 75

00:25:11.460 hard or whether it be in your life that need addressing in the, in the, the elements are not

00:25:17.140 ideal. Dude, every time you overcome that you've overcome a test and you've invested in your mental

00:25:24.240 discipline, in your self-belief, in your confidence, in your grit, into all these things that, you know,

00:25:32.160 I look at it like, um, you know, like on a video game where dude might be playing football and he's

00:25:36.520 got like 99 speed, 99, uh, you know, acceleration, uh, 80 strength. And you know, there's a discipline

00:25:44.400 column there. Right. And like, so you have to invest. We all have that. Yeah. And we're never

00:25:49.980 told that we're never told like, Hey, um, if you don't fucking train your brain, your brain's going 1.00

00:25:55.560 to be shit. We're not told that. Yeah. Who told us that nobody I've never been told that, you know, 1.00

00:26:00.840 I had to figure it out. Society tells us the opposite. Everything around us is, is convenience

00:26:05.440 and okay. It's okay. Yeah. Everything's okay. It's to be strived for. Yeah. And I think it's weird.

00:26:11.040 Isn't it weird that like, if everything's supposed to be accepted and everything's okay,

00:26:15.680 Especially my generation. How old are you? I'm 24. Oh yeah. So like the, what?

00:26:20.340 Dude, you know what? I actually think that they 24 and under kids are starting to fucking figure 0.97

00:26:26.120 it out. Like they're starting to see the reality of what's going on in the world. I have a lot of 0.98

00:26:29.400 hope because of that. Like you should see the ones that listen to show like they're, they're on it.

00:26:33.300 Like some of the big, like, like, uh, Ari that came in here, you know what I'm saying? Like 1.00

00:26:37.360 there's some of the most active, active, uh, vested people out there. I think I'm, I'm actually

00:26:44.020 kind of excited about that. But it's neither here nor there. Uh, but the point is, is that

00:26:49.120 like, dude, we're not fucking told that we're not told that we need to invest into making 0.91

00:26:53.940 ourselves disciplined. We're just told that discipline and all these things grit forward 0.94

00:26:58.680 to their things you either have or you don't have. And that's just not the truth. Yeah.

00:27:03.140 And so no one's ever come out and said, Hey man, um, you need to invest in that. You need to clean

00:27:08.140 that up and you need to maintain that on a normal, normal basis, just like you would maintain

00:27:12.020 a physical shape or just, uh, you know, your house or whatever we're talking about.

00:27:17.400 And the value in that guys, and if you've never had it before is immense because you literally have

00:27:23.180 no idea what you're capable of until you start doing things, you know, and most people just never

00:27:27.940 even try to accomplish anything hard because they say, look, it's hard. Well, no shit. 0.99

00:27:34.340 Yeah. But are you thinking about what you're getting out of it? Are you thinking about where 0.99

00:27:37.940 you're going to go? Are you thinking about how you're going to grow? I mean, dude, I'm not here

00:27:42.620 to sit down and ride away. You know, I'm not here to sit on my couch and eat fucking dominoes 0.99

00:27:48.340 and chill until I'm 80 years old and fucking be old and die. Yeah. None of us are. And so you guys are 1.00

00:27:54.280 out there and you're trying to figure out what's wrong or why you feel this anxiety and why you

00:27:58.120 feel this frustration. The reason that you feel that is because you know, you're capable of more

00:28:03.340 and you're not on the path to producing that for yourself. You know, you're not even trying,

00:28:09.560 you're not going in to, uh, the gym. You're not practicing discipline with your food. You're not

00:28:15.340 being the best you could be anywhere. You're just consuming and floating and going through. And of

00:28:20.160 course, if that's how you live, you're going to feel depressed. You're going to feel anxious.

00:28:24.280 All the time. It's never going to go away. And what frustrates me is how society tries to pacify

00:28:29.920 these things where it's okay to accept yourself the way you are. Well, dude, if someone feels like

00:28:37.860 total shit and you're telling them it's okay, that's not going to cure their feeling of feeling 1.00

00:28:42.520 like total shit. Yeah. You're fine means nothing. Right, dude. And that's why we have all these people 1.00

00:28:46.740 in life who are like, I don't know what's wrong. I just don't feel right. I don't know what it is, 0.98

00:28:51.380 but I have all this anxiety. I don't know why this or that. Well, the fucking reason that you

00:28:55.320 are that is because you're wasting your life. I think a big reason too, is people just don't 1.00

00:28:59.400 want to get that involved. They don't want to be like, Oh, have you tried this? Or have you looked

00:29:04.440 into this? They just want me like, no, you're fine. Cause it's also just a lack of people caring

00:29:08.660 about each other genuinely too, I think. Yeah. Well, dude, and I'll never do that again.

00:29:12.800 Well, I think that they think caring is, you know, caring is, is making you feel better or

00:29:19.400 making you feel better in the moment. Telling you what you think you want. Yeah. Right. Exactly.

00:29:23.860 Like, dude, why are you pushing yourself? That's uncomfortable. That's causing you pain.

00:29:27.140 Yeah. You should just relax. Cause then you'll feel good. Yeah. And guys, that is the wrong

00:29:31.980 thing. I'm just telling you. And like, if you listen to all these, you know, people out there

00:29:36.600 plugging this fucking shit down your brain, like, Oh dude, uh, you know, you need to love yourself 1.00

00:29:41.220 for who you are and you're 380 pounds and you know, it's just okay. It's not fucking okay. 1.00

00:29:45.440 Yeah. It's not okay. And it's not because it's not okay. Not because you're big and you look weird. 0.95

00:29:52.220 It's not okay because you're wasting your fucking life and you're not aware of it. That's what makes 1.00

00:29:56.460 it not okay. I don't, it's not like I see someone who's overweight and it like offends my fucking eyes 0.99

00:30:01.700 and I'm like, fuck, that's fucking disgusting. That's not it. What it is, is I see it and I'm like, 1.00

00:30:07.320 fuck dude, you're giving up your whole life. You're wasting your whole life. You're not even 1.00

00:30:12.180 figuring it out. And, and dude, that's frustrating. You know what I mean? And I have people that message

00:30:17.040 me every single day and they're like, Hey dude, I don't know what the fuck's going on, man. I'm 0.97

00:30:20.180 just like off. I don't know if it's the world. I don't know if I do. What it is, is that you are

00:30:24.240 not pursuing your own true potential in any way, shape or form. And that's causing you an internal

00:30:29.620 anxiety that you can't understand because you're not even aware that you have more potential.

00:30:34.640 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like you, you guys, every single person listening to this show

00:30:38.840 has immense potential to be productive in life. And I don't mean productive in a money way. I mean,

00:30:45.720 I mean that way too, but I'm talking about in a fulfillment way. Like dude, what's, what's more

00:30:51.620 important than having confidence? What's more important than having self-esteem? What's more

00:30:56.180 important than feeling good about yourself? Those are the keys to everything. Dude, it is. It's the

00:31:00.180 total key to happiness. One of the biggest things I learned doing this is that like once you,

00:31:04.440 once you finish 75 hard, you realize there is no ceiling. There is no, this is it. This is the

00:31:11.200 end. There's always more. It's just up to you whether or not you're going to attack it or not.

00:31:16.200 Yeah. And what I know ceiling, dude, there isn't. And the thing is, is that you guys who are out there

00:31:21.220 wondering, you know, what it is that, you know, what you're looking for something, right? Like I'm

00:31:27.620 looking for something. I don't feel like I have it. I'm lost. I'm this and that. Look, dude,

00:31:31.180 the reason you feel that way is because you're not in control of what's going on and people will

00:31:35.840 argue, well, you can't be in control of what's going on. That's right. You can't, you can't

00:31:40.740 control everything. That's the point. The point is, is you can't control if it's fucking four degrees

00:31:45.660 outside like it is today. Yeah. You can't control if, uh, your husband or wife leaves you. You can't 0.99

00:31:52.240 control if, uh, the stock market crash, you can't control a whole bunch of shit in life or a whole 1.00

00:31:58.180 bunch of shit. The point is you have to learn to operate in spite of those things because those 0.99

00:32:04.120 things are going to roll in, dude, like they're coming. It's like the ocean. Like there's going

00:32:08.460 to be another wave and there's going to be another wave and there's going to be another wave. And

00:32:11.540 most people wait their whole lives waiting for there not to be any waves before they act and 1.00

00:32:16.920 not realizing they're standing on an ocean, not in a fucking lake. I remember all the invitations I 0.98

00:32:21.140 didn't go. I didn't take advantage of because I was embarrassed. I remember wearing the same clothes

00:32:25.080 every fucking day for, you know, years because it was the only outfit that like hid my fatness. 0.99

00:32:30.380 You know what I mean? And like, dude, I understand very clearly what that's like. And I don't want 0.99

00:32:36.940 you guys to live that way. And that's where that passion comes from. You know? Um, it's like,

00:32:41.120 imagine sitting, sitting across from someone and they're like, Oh, I really want that, you know,

00:32:46.880 water bottle that's right in front of me. And you just keep saying cross from me, like,

00:32:50.240 okay, reach out and grab it. Yeah. And they, they just keep saying, Oh,

00:32:53.440 I really want that water bottle. That's right. It's like after a million times of you saying that

00:32:58.900 you're going to get a little intense and like, yeah, listen to me. Yeah. I'm like, yeah. Grab

00:33:04.340 it. Yeah. Well, and dude, it's just my natural demeanor anyway. Like I get, I'm easily excited.

00:33:09.660 So, but like, dude, especially when it comes to like seeing people win, cause I see how powerful

00:33:14.320 it is. I mean, dude, it really is, man. Uh, and seeing people like you who have completely gone from

00:33:21.380 a situation where, you know, you're, you're at rock bottom and your own words, you know, depressed,

00:33:26.900 uh, to where, you know, it's like, dude, your before and after pictures are some of the most

00:33:30.760 impressive I've ever seen. Uh, if you guys haven't seen her pictures yet, you have to go

00:33:35.160 to Instagram and look at them. Um, double underscore Sims double underscore. Uh, it's, it's amazing what

00:33:42.020 she's done and what, I mean, it's just, I just wish I could bottle that feeling and like, give you

00:33:49.880 like a, give everybody like a little taste of it. I know. I wish, I wish to. Yeah, I do. Like,

00:33:54.080 like I'll give you, I tried to film it all. Cause I, I, and I tried to make the video without crying,

00:33:57.860 but I was like, maybe I should just keep this because it was so raw. A lot of people listening,

00:34:03.180 you know, that aren't single, that aren't childless and is the program hard? You know,

00:34:10.960 if you are single and childless, um, yes, probably I wouldn't know, but saying, saying being on this

00:34:17.560 side of this and having a baby and having a spouse and having a house that I have to run

00:34:22.320 on my own and having a job that I go to every day. Um, just some things about that. You can do it.

00:34:30.740 Like there's no combination of any day. And believe me, I've had quite a few that you can't

00:34:37.000 get it done. If you are a single parent, you can get it done. Um, some things that I did to get it

00:34:42.380 done. Utilize nap times. If you have a young child, like do your 45 minutes during one of

00:34:47.600 those nap times, the dishes can wait, like they will get done. You also have to get your 45 minutes

00:34:52.660 done. It's a huge chunk of time that you need to get it over with. As far as your outside workout

00:34:57.560 goes, take the baby monitor. Once they're in bed out into the driveway and bust out some hit workouts 0.99

00:35:03.700 in the driveway. I did not go to the gym one time during this entire thing. You don't have to,

00:35:09.940 you don't have to. I got a gym gym membership as an exit plan when I did end 75 hard to keep up

00:35:16.080 that discipline. Cause I would have time to go. Well, a lot of people are intimidated to go to a

00:35:19.880 gym. Yeah. You know, that's a whole, that's a whole nother topic, but that's something that we

00:35:24.160 at first form have been very aggressively fighting against for the last decade. Um, and it's

00:35:30.760 intimidating, right? Yeah. Well, I mean, I love it there, but no, no, I do too. But like, dude,

00:35:35.580 nobody wants to like, even when I had been lifting and I'd been a high level athlete and all

00:35:39.860 these things when I was 350 pounds, dude, even though I knew everything in the gym, I knew every

00:35:44.340 machine, I knew every what to do. I knew, bro, I was embarrassed to go. Yeah. You know what I'm

00:35:48.600 saying? And like that kept me from going from the time I was like, I can remember, dude, I was 308

00:35:54.620 pounds and I was like, fuck that sucks. I don't want to go to the gym. So I didn't next time I got on the 0.99

00:36:01.380 scale after that, I was 350. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like I should have fucking went, you know?

00:36:06.060 Yeah. And, and, and dude, but I didn't go cause like, dude, and that's me. Like I'm a big, 0.95

00:36:10.120 like, I don't know, man. Like I just, I just really hope that if you're listening to this and

00:36:16.740 you're one of these people who's been putting this off and you're thinking that it's all just a diet

00:36:21.780 or a trend or a thing, dude, this is a life mental transformation program that if you force yourself

00:36:28.520 through those 75 days, you will never, ever, ever, ever be the same again. Now I'm not saying you won't

00:36:34.400 get fat again. What I'm saying is you'll know what to do if that, if you get off track, you'll

00:36:38.840 know how to solve it. You'll know how to bring yourself back in line. And, um, I'm just very

00:36:43.520 thankful for, for how things have worked out with this program, because it is really cool to be able

00:36:49.160 to jump on the 75 hard hashtag when I'm not feeling like it. Like that happens to me all the time where

00:36:55.160 I'm like, dude, I do not want to do this. And I'll jump on 75 hard hashtag. And usually I don't even

00:36:59.600 have to go to the hashtag because I'll be able to see in my tags and my DMS and I'll see two or

00:37:05.220 three people who have just finished that day. And I'm like, fuck, that's awesome. 0.98

00:37:08.840 Yeah. There's a lot that finish every day. Yeah. It's cool. Especially around, you know, 0.98

00:37:12.960 St. Patrick's day, which something I did. Have you ever, have you ever counted how many days are

00:37:18.060 in between each U S holiday each year? Okay. That's something I did because the number one excuse that I

00:37:23.440 hate the most out of everybody that said that I don't want to do it is I don't want to miss a holiday

00:37:28.660 on those holidays, on those birthdays, on those weddings, on those things. Those are all tests

00:37:34.480 along the way that you get to make major investments into your mental discipline.

00:37:39.640 Yeah. Um, that you don't, it's an opportunity. It's how you have to see it. Like you guys who have,

00:37:45.300 uh, holidays or the weddings or vacations or this or that, or this, and you don't think that you could

00:37:52.600 do this program. There's people every fucking day that do that every fucking day. And dude, 0.99

00:37:57.380 that is one of the biggest opportunities that you're going to have to invest is whenever the

00:38:02.020 things are very hard and like, dude, you're going to go to this event and people are gonna be like,

00:38:05.400 what are you doing? And you know, you're going to say, Oh, you know, I'm doing 75 hard. And

00:38:10.380 they're going to say, Oh dude, I just relax one day, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And, but I'm going

00:38:14.500 to tell you when you get home after you just won that and you didn't give in, you're going to feel

00:38:19.500 strong. You're going to that, that deposit that you made into your discipline, into your grit,

00:38:24.460 into your fortitude, into your self-belief. You're going to feel immediately after that event,

00:38:29.040 you know? Yeah. You said this one time where, you know, you start off being like, Oh no, I can't.

00:38:34.640 I'm doing 75 hard. And then you get to the point where you just say no. And I feel like that should

00:38:39.400 be a goal of everyone doing this program. Like just to say no, because you know, if you're like,

00:38:44.580 I don't know, I can't, I'm on this diet. Like you're kind of trying to get attention that way.

00:38:48.660 And it just like, I don't know. I, I thought it was one of the most freeing things ever to learn

00:38:55.260 how to have fun at these kinds of events without gorging myself, without getting, you know, shit 0.96

00:39:00.220 based and actually remember them. Yeah. Yes. That too. And like, there's a difference between like 0.97

00:39:06.760 not being able to drink because you're pregnant and then not being able to drink because you chose 0.92

00:39:10.240 not to like, it's, it's definitely harder not to drink on 75 hard than it is to when you're

00:39:14.720 pregnant. Cause you don't want like a, a broken baby. Yeah. Right. Yeah. There's real life 1.00

00:39:20.900 consequences. Yeah. So, but yeah, there's real life consequences too, to, to drinking at social

00:39:27.660 events anyway, you know, people we're, we're conditioned and listen, dude, I'm not saying

00:39:32.940 I never drink. Like I I'll get it. Now it's way less than it used to be. Now it might be a couple

00:39:37.500 of times a year, but the point is, is that, you know, you guys should really think about why

00:39:44.440 it is that alcohol is pushed so heavy onto our population, why it's bred into our lifestyle.

00:39:50.120 Why, why is it such a big part of everything that we do? And you should really analyze that

00:39:55.740 because there is a reason why, and it isn't for money. It's a downer, dude. It's not even

00:40:01.200 that fun. If you think about it, I can't think of one time that I was like in the movies where

00:40:05.620 they're like, Ooh, no, I always get really sad and I cry. Well, I mean, dude, that's, that's

00:40:12.820 what it does. Yeah. And if you think about the way it's pushed and the way it's advertised

00:40:18.080 and people think this is conspiracy shit, but I don't believe it is. Um, I believe that 0.98

00:40:23.580 they allow alcohol to be sold, uh, heavily and marketed heavily, you know, to help people 0.97

00:40:30.160 fucking be controlled. That's just what I think. Like, dude, if you are someone who drinks 0.98

00:40:35.400 three or four days a week or two days a week, you're being controlled by fucking what they 0.99

00:40:40.100 want, you just aren't aware of it. You just aren't aware of it. Like you think it's normal 0.99

00:40:44.200 shit, but the problem is, is that it creates a situation in your brain where you're not fully 1.00

00:40:49.260 functioning. You're not fully aware. You're off your game. You make easier decisions. You compromise. 1.00

00:40:55.100 It makes you mentally weaker. And these things all affect your entire existence on this planet.

00:40:59.660 And the most important part that it affects is your actual fulfillment. Because if you can't

00:41:03.760 accomplish anything, if you can't be a great mother, right, you're going to feel like shit. 1.00

00:41:08.700 Yeah. You're going to feel like fucking shit. And that's just reality. And they're going to tell 1.00

00:41:13.460 you, oh, that's okay. You need, you need Zoloft or whatever the fuck you need. You know, I'm not 0.99

00:41:17.280 downing that shit. Like I'm not, look, I take antidepressant medicine. I have since 2007. 1.00

00:41:23.160 And so I am, I am someone who has benefited from that. Um, and I'm very open about that. Uh, but

00:41:31.620 I don't think I would have ever needed it had I fucking figured this out ahead of time. 0.97

00:41:36.860 Yeah. I think there's a lot of, you know, quote unquote, natural ways to fix shit. And not 0.99

00:41:45.060 everybody is depressed. No, not actually. No. I mean, mine was like a very hormonal induced and

00:41:52.540 like, you know, the way it all works is the further displace you get from that, you know, event birth,

00:41:58.860 you know, the, it should at least go away, which, you know, 75 hard to kind of gave me

00:42:04.460 a regimen structure, which is the best way to fight anxiety because you know what to expect.

00:42:10.100 And wait, that's a great point, dude. That is a great point. Structure. Yeah. How many of you guys

00:42:16.600 that are feeling this crazy way about life, dude, you're feeling this like uncertainty, this anxiety,

00:42:21.600 this like undescribable weird feeling in your stomach, like something ain't right. Like the

00:42:27.860 reason that you feel that way is because you're floating through fucking life with no structure 0.99

00:42:31.360 at all. You know, when we have a plan of attack, we don't feel anxiety. We just attack. Yeah. You 0.98

00:42:37.040 know? Yeah. And so that was like just a great like arrow, like just to get me from A to B and

00:42:43.380 you know, time, you have more time when you do 75 hard, but it also flies by. I could not believe

00:42:49.940 when I got to the end of 75 days, how fast it was. It feels like forever when you're in it. Yeah.

00:42:54.020 But when you're, when you get to the end, you're like, wow, I, it was like a week. I should do this

00:42:57.760 every year, which I would, I plan on doing. So that's awesome. Yeah. What do you think was the

00:43:02.480 biggest, like, if you could name like a, just a few big takeaways for, for yourself, what would you

00:43:09.120 say you're most thankful for, uh, and proud of, of yourself? Um, I can say with confidence at 75 hard

00:43:18.660 saved my wife. I think that if I would have stayed doing the things that I was doing, there would

00:43:24.180 have been some sort of intoxication overdose, something along those lines. Cause that's how

00:43:29.780 dark it was, but like, or, you know, I would have fallen and hit my head cause I was uncoordinated

00:43:37.360 and my knees are very undependable apparently. Um, and so, you know, it saved my life and just,

00:43:45.880 I knew I had to do it because of my daughter and, and my husband, but like, you know, more

00:43:52.780 my baby. Yeah. He'd make it fine. Um, yeah. So I just also looking back at, you know, the

00:44:03.480 videos that I made, the before and after photos and just, cause there were, you know, periods

00:44:09.280 and that's why I like, it's very important to stress that it's not a weight loss thing

00:44:13.740 because there was a very large chunk of time, um, in the middle where the scale did not budge

00:44:20.600 at all. I was stuck at one 45 for probably four weeks. So if, if your reason for starting

00:44:29.720 this is solely for weight loss, which I feel like personally, I feel like weight loss can

00:44:34.880 be absolutely a reason why you would. For sure. But it just can't be the only reason.

00:44:39.740 Yeah. Dude. The thing is, and I say it's, you know, it's not a weight loss program, but

00:44:45.040 the most of the people that do it are people who need to lose weight, not gain weight. But

00:44:49.420 I do see people a lot of times who are already in good shape to do the program exclusively for

00:44:53.480 the mental focus and discipline and all the things they get out of it. But you know, you

00:45:00.540 will lose a fuck ton of weight doing it. If you do it right. Yeah. If you do it right.

00:45:05.800 And if you do it hard because you can do it right and still only, you know, do refit and

00:45:10.900 go on a walk every day, but that's not going to give you the results that you're supposed

00:45:14.320 to be pushing yourself at a somewhat intense level of what's going on, you know?

00:45:19.840 And that doesn't have to guys, that does not mean you have to go do CrossFit that makes

00:45:25.200 you throw up every single workout every single day because that yes, is not sustainable.

00:45:31.500 You will burn out. You will not be able to finish. You really have to do the program,

00:45:36.940 but listen to your body at the same time. It's like some days you are, yes, you are going

00:45:40.840 to need two walks a day for a day. You're going to need that. You're going to need that reset.

00:45:46.380 You're going to need some yoga. You're like, I didn't, I didn't go hard on my HIIT workouts

00:45:50.760 every single day, but that is the majority of what I did. And I chose cardio because

00:45:54.300 dude, sometimes just getting it done is fucking intense. Yeah. Like when I'm out on the bike 0.97

00:45:59.480 at two o'clock in the fucking morning, sometimes I'm just getting it done. Yeah. The fact that 0.99

00:46:04.120 you did it is hard enough. That's what I'm saying, dude. So what are you, uh, what are you going

00:46:13.440 to do from here? I am on day seven of 75 hard again, because I would have failed phase three

00:46:19.320 had I done the live hard year BSC section and all that stuff. So I'm doing 75 hard again.

00:46:24.500 I will end, I think the day before St. Patrick's day. Um, and then I start training for my first

00:46:34.020 half marathon on the 29th. So that will take me through my entire second trimester and I will

00:46:39.820 be running a half marathon 25 weeks pregnant. That's awesome. I'm excited. Yeah. Um, and then

00:46:46.000 my experiment slash goal is to, cause I was four months postpartum in my before picture of the

00:46:54.280 first round 75 hard. My goal is this time, four months postpartum. I want to look like I've never

00:47:00.480 even seen a baby before. Like I want, I want it, I want it to look like it never even happened.

00:47:06.360 Yeah. So, and I'm going to be that much tougher because of it. Cause this, this pregnancy was

00:47:11.880 unexpected. And so it's going to be a mental battle the whole time. Were you ever, were you this,

00:47:17.200 were you as sure of yourself before? Cause you come across like, like when you just said, uh,

00:47:22.520 I will be running the marathon 20 something weeks pregnant. Yeah. You said that with absolute 0.82

00:47:28.620 certainty. Were you always that way? Not really, but I say with more conviction now because that's,

00:47:35.160 cause you know, it's going to happen. Well, I know that cause that's exactly what I said the first day

00:47:39.240 that I started 75 hard the first time I said, I will be doing this. I will not give up. And I know

00:47:44.360 those are the statements that you have to make. You can't say, I'll give it a try. I'll, I'll try it

00:47:50.300 out. That's, that's 100%. You are, you have already signed the contract saying I will fail. That's right.

00:47:56.460 You've already done that. That's right. You have to say, I will be doing this and you have to agree

00:48:01.040 to it once. Yep. Just one time. Yep. You're not going to say, Oh, I'll get through today every single

00:48:07.340 day. Like, no, you've already committed one time in the beginning. You're going to finish it the

00:48:11.140 whole way through. Every other day is just part of that whole commitment that you made. That's it.

00:48:15.260 So I've, I've taught myself to say, I will be doing this. I will be doing this because that's

00:48:20.180 the only way you can be for sure that you will. Yeah. That's a huge thing, man. I'm saying it to a

00:48:24.160 lot of people. So now I can't not, you know, I can relate to that too. You kind of have to like

00:48:30.140 own your own. I like that though. Like, dude, I like the fact that I, that I talk a lot of shit,

00:48:35.240 like, you know, and I say, Hey, I'm fucking do this. And you know, I used to be like, yeah, 0.98

00:48:39.520 you're fucking fat. You would do shit, bro. You're a fat ass. You're this, that, though. Now, 1.00

00:48:44.680 like when I say that shit, I don't get no laughy faces in my fucking reactions. You know why? 1.00

00:48:49.500 Motherfuckers know. And what really kept me going the whole time was because I said that on Instagram, 0.99

00:48:53.940 I know for a fact that there are people that check my Instagram all the time that hate my guts,

00:49:01.280 that want to see me fail. And the worst thing that I could imagine possibly doing was failing

00:49:05.800 and them being like, ha ha, I knew it. She couldn't do it, dude. I had dreams like horrible

00:49:11.340 dreams about failing. Did you ever have those? Yeah, for sure. Like, dude, wake like where you

00:49:16.880 were like, you felt like you drank or cheated or something. Yes, dude, for sure. I had ones about

00:49:21.400 eating cupcakes and I don't even like I really eat that. Yeah. Yeah. I also peed the bed one time.

00:49:26.780 I didn't tell Patrick that. So, honey, I'm sorry. I changed the sheets before, you know,

00:49:32.560 it was all the water, dude. It was. I, I, I drank it all right before bed and it wasn't like a huge

00:49:38.980 spot, but it did happen. I just, I was so embarrassed. Hey, it happens. You do what you do.

00:49:44.760 Hey, listen, we talk about on the show, man. Like if you ain't shit your pants a little bit, 0.99

00:49:49.000 you ain't even you're lying. Yeah. Well, I put in the Facebook group and apparently it happens to a 0.99

00:49:52.940 lot of people. So don't feel bad if that was you. Good. I would remember the first real AF we

00:49:58.340 talked about the fucking the sock story. What was the sock story? Oh my God, dude. Sock, sock, 0.99

00:50:05.480 underwear. Yeah. What episode was that, bro? Anyway, it's, it's a long story. Okay. I'll give

00:50:11.040 you the episode to go listen to it. Yeah, I will. But, uh, yeah, man, I don't know. Like

00:50:16.460 episode three, episode three, dumb protocol. Yeah. Go to listen to episode three. You'll 0.80

00:50:20.960 understand the story. Okay. Oh man. So what else you got going on today? Um, finish your

00:50:27.940 shit. Well, I love aquariums and I saw you have one, so I will probably check that out, 1.00

00:50:32.360 but I am going to be walking around outside with Lexi. Yeah. Yeah. Lexi's Lexi works here

00:50:39.380 now. She does. And she is now one of my buddies. Yeah. She's awesome. She really is. Yeah. Yeah.

00:50:44.860 We've talked for like, I can talk to her on the phone for hours and it does not feel like

00:50:48.240 that long. Oh, so you guys are like buddy buddies. Oh yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. I talked

00:50:51.980 to her on the way up here. We met in the gym in person for real. You guys got to hang out

00:50:55.820 after this? Yeah. We're going to walk outside, do our outside workout. That's awesome. Dude,

00:50:58.980 she's badass. She is. I love having her here too. Yeah. Like I could tell she's going to be 0.76

00:51:02.900 a fucking huge asset. Yeah. You know, especially with like her not being able to go, just a weird 0.99

00:51:07.620 how that worked out. Like if you guys don't know, you guys heard Lexi on the show, she was

00:51:11.820 supposed to go to the university of Florida and they mandated a vaccine and she doesn't want 0.66

00:51:14.960 to get the vaccine. Yeah. And so she said, fuck, I'm not going. And she came here and

00:51:18.620 I'm going to make sure that that's not a decision that she regretted. Yeah. You know what I mean?

00:51:22.100 Well, she loves working here. She talks about it all the time. Really? Yeah. Good. That's

00:51:24.840 good to hear. Yeah. That's, that's really good to hear from someone else. Cause everybody

00:51:28.380 always says that, you know, but I like to make sure it's true. Yeah. Well, when I found out

00:51:31.960 that she was working here, I was like, okay, well I have to like message her and we texted

00:51:35.600 for hours and talked on the phone for hours. So that's awesome. Yeah. She's a good bud. Yeah. That's crazy

00:51:41.060 too. Like, dude, I've met a lot of people through 75 hard that I'm friends with now too. Yeah.

00:51:44.940 Like that I didn't know before. It's a, it's a pretty, pretty huge community. Yeah. There

00:51:49.340 was this one guy in the Facebook group. He was like, Hey, I'm traveling the United States

00:51:52.560 on my way to a funeral, but I want to meet up with you guys and work out. And so I worked

00:51:56.520 out with him one time cause he came through Nashville. Really? It was just like, he wasn't

00:51:59.320 like a serial killer. No, I, I see now how there could have been risks to that, but we talked

00:52:03.980 before, but he was really cool. And it was just like super awesome. Cause like you start

00:52:11.340 to notice like the people that have finished it. We're all like kind of the same caliber

00:52:15.440 of people. Like we all get it. Yeah. People who are doing shit. Yeah. It's just such a great

00:52:20.660 community. So if you're listening and you haven't done it yet and you feel like you're missing

00:52:24.040 that in your life, the only way you can gain admittance is to do it. Dude, you know what?

00:52:29.340 That's such a great point. That's such a great point. Like you, if you're somebody who's surrounded

00:52:35.100 by, you know, all these people who fucking whine all the time, do this program and you'll find 0.97

00:52:40.100 yourself surrounded by people that don't. Yeah. So I will say if I think, I think for the majority 0.99

00:52:47.200 of everyone, the food part is the harvest part. Yeah, I think so too. Um, in that case, like

00:52:52.980 definitely choose a very specific diet. I found that helped with me a lot cause I am a snacker

00:52:58.680 and I grab a lot of stuff. So like if you're choosing a macro diet, you're like, I hate to say

00:53:04.180 it like, yeah, it's going to help you reach your goals better, but you're probably going to fail

00:53:08.040 because unless you're really disciplined, there's a lot of gray area of what you could

00:53:15.500 have. You know, you know what's cheap food and you know what's not. Yeah. And if you're

00:53:19.740 doing a macro program, you shouldn't be fucking filling it with fucking cupcakes. Yeah. Or 1.00

00:53:24.480 like even just super greasy stuff that is still meat or whatever. But like, so for me, like I

00:53:31.060 chose paleo, it's like, there's like four food groups. There's fruits, nuts, vegetables, and

00:53:36.660 meat. That's all you can have. Yeah. And you can, you know, turn it into a pancake, but it's still

00:53:43.220 going to be made out of nuts and vegetables. Yeah. So like, there's no way around it. Um, so that's

00:53:48.560 why. So is this where they, uh, the gross food thing comes from that the nut and vegetable pancakes?

00:53:53.680 No, they're actually not that bad, but they are paleo. 0.98

00:53:56.800 Wait, you fucking made those for real? There's like a mix you can buy. That's a hundred percent 0.95

00:54:00.760 paleo. And you ate that mix. Yeah. That sounds gross. No, it's out. You want me to come over

00:54:06.040 and I'll make you one? No, but I'll try that fucking soda, but I didn't do that. No, thank you. 0.99

00:54:11.920 No, they're actually good. But, um, yeah. So I would just say, just choose a really specific diet.

00:54:17.160 If you feel like food's going to be something that's probably going to do you in within the first

00:54:23.040 three days? Cause that way you just know, like, yes, I think food, I think a lot of people suffer

00:54:27.760 from food addiction. They don't really understand that they do though. Yeah. I think a lot of people

00:54:31.280 who comfort themselves with emotional eating and foods and things like that, they're not aware

00:54:38.940 of what they're doing. It's just something they're doing. So it just goes back to convenience too.

00:54:43.100 Yeah. I mean, dude, every like, dude, when I was a little bitty kid, you know, I remember coming

00:54:46.980 home from school and like packing like four slices of cheese and Doritos on a fucking sandwich and eating it. 0.98

00:54:52.220 You know what I'm saying? Like that sounds so good. Yeah. I mean, like, that's how I grew up 0.99

00:54:56.160 though. Like I grew up like just eating was like, it wasn't to, it wasn't to live. It was like

00:55:02.300 something that I just liked. It was like a hobby. Yeah. Yeah. I was good at it. Oh yeah. Yeah. We all

00:55:07.820 are. Uh, but mainly man, I just want to say, uh, thank you for coming up. Thank you for being on the

00:55:13.040 show. Uh, thank you for being an example for other people who are looking to take back their life and to

00:55:20.120 figure out how they can start to build, uh, and actually become the best version of themselves

00:55:26.760 when they're at rock bottom. Because I know what that feels like too. I know what that feels like

00:55:31.640 to be at rock bottom. I know what it feels like to feel powerless. I know what it feels like to

00:55:35.520 stand at the top or at the bottom of that mountain and look up at the top and be like, fuck, like this 0.99

00:55:39.640 is insurmountable. The amount of work I have to do. And you don't have to be at rock bottom. 0.99

00:55:44.020 Um, that does not have to be your starting. Why? Like you, that's not the point of this guys. Like

00:55:49.740 all you have to do is to be not where you want to be. And that should be everybody. Yeah.

00:55:56.680 It is everybody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that should be your why is I'm, I'm not where I ultimately want

00:56:02.500 to be, which is all of us because we're all not dead yet. So that's it, dude. Well, thanks for coming
