But with the way that the service industry works and the fact that you go to a restaurant and you're like, I want a perfect steak and they give it to you in 15 minutes, I think you get used to the shit. And then you're like, I just want, you go to a personal trainer. Like, I just want amazing results in almost no time. And you're like, no bitch, that's not how the fuck it works.

It works by you pounding it in and being ultra consistent for months and getting decent results. And if you think you can do it better somewhere else, be my guest. Now, good news, combination of these weight loss drugs we already have now and these crazy muscle building drugs coming up, hey, the standards are going to elevate. but we're not there yet. And it's just going to take a lot of work.

And so one of the things that always baffled me working with regular people is most of them are dope, but some of them come with these absolutely ridiculous ideas about what's going to happen and a total unwillingness to work for it with all the odds stacked against them. And it's just, to me, it was always kind of like, I was pretty good at real talking people.

We're like a polite way, but you know, a little curt, a little humorous. I always be like, look, you want big changes. I'm here to tell you that JLo is unusual. Yes. They're like, well, I guess. Yeah. So having her as your goal is kind of fucking ridiculous. They're like, I guess like, okay, so let's just try to get 10 pounds off of you in 12 weeks and put on a few pounds of muscle.

And after that, if you're still with it, We're going to try to do a little bit better. What do you say? And then all of a sudden, they don't have these crazy goals. They're more realistic. They're much happier with their transformation because they didn't think they were supposed to be able to do it all in three fucking weeks. And then everyone wins.
