Chapter 1: What tips do the hosts share about using the PrizePix app?

0.031 - 14.831 Unknown

Prize picks. I know a lot of you guys are firing on prize picks. March basketball is here. Follow me at Kyle. I'm going to be doing a ton of picks. This is primetime fire season. Also be on the lookout. There's going to be a ton of max discounts this month from prize picks. So you're going to want to add those into your lineup.

15.091 - 34.301 Unknown

Also for March basketball, if you guys didn't know on prize picks, obviously you can create your lineups like I'll do, but now you can also choose teams. You You can choose the overall score of the game. I'll probably do like two slips, one that's like high risk and one that's lower risk. And then I'll also just fire on the winner of the game, just like normal, or I'll fire on the spread.

0

34.361 - 50.002 Unknown

So that's what I love about prize picks now is you just lock in a bunch of shit in different categories and it makes watching the game with the boys so much more fun. PrizePix is available in so many different states, California, Texas, Florida, and it's also back in New York State. So if you're in New York State, re-download the PrizePix app, get to firing.

105.385 - 116.202 Brian Johnson

You are going to bring up Brian Johnson, and I don't know if you remember what he said, but the most unhealthy water bottles from Mr. Health Guy. Wow, this is calling me out already. He said the cap is actually worse for you than everything, and this cap.

116.222 - 132.749 Kyle

He also says sunlight is bad, so I don't really trust too much of what he says, but he's a cool guy. He does some cool experiments on himself. So you don't believe a lot of what he says? I don't believe in the plant-based diet that he eats, and I don't believe that severely limiting sunlight is a good idea. But I think he does some cool stuff.

133.19 - 151.159 Kyle

But, like, the glass water bottles are better because the reality is I'm going to take this, it's going to sit in the car, and if I brought a plastic water bottle, heat, the exposure, heat and sunlight to plastic is going to leach far more microplastics than a cap of that. But he doesn't do plastic bottles, does he? I hope he doesn't do plastic bottles. He spends $2 million a year on himself.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts feel about the health advice from Brian Johnson?

280.271 - 281.473 Kyle

0

290.805 - 303.54 Brian Johnson

What's your bench PR? My bench PR? I think it's like 245. I'm not a big bench. Yeah, maybe there, but whatever. No, I don't consider myself fat. I consider myself in shape. I'm not in the best shape of my life. But you're working towards it. Yeah.

0

303.86 - 310.348 Kyle

365.142 - 365.383 Andre Burto

Yeah.

Chapter 3: What are the dangers of microplastics and how do they affect health?

585.191 - 592.861 Unknown

Like, this guy's always like, I need a fucking charger. First of all, it's like, I need a vape. And then it's like, I need a vape charger. It's like, bro, fuck off.

0

592.981 - 594.202 Kyle

Like, fuck off with the vape.

0

594.222 - 595.884 Unknown

That's one thing I, that's bad.

0

595.904 - 602.252 Kyle

But you should even quit and go towards Zins. I'm not here to promote Zins, but that's a better, that's a better thing. Zins just don't do it for me.

0

602.232 - 616.351 Unknown

Vaping in front of a girl too now. It's like dude like no, I don't do much in front of it's just no sauce at all It's like a big box. I bet she was pink and gay looking. Let's see. It's pink and white. It's bro See that's so gay.

616.411 - 623.621 Brian Johnson

Yeah, I just picture to you know when like a chick loses their vape and like they guys do that too And I'm like, no, I don't freak out.

623.661 - 631.792 Kyle

I just have it bro If you lost your pouches ends and like you couldn't get another one though, you'd be freaking out. Okay, so No, I'd just go buy another one. Yeah, exactly, because you'd be like, holy shit, I need to buy another one.

631.972 - 637.921 Brian Johnson

I don't think the zins and the, like, taking nicotine like this has the same, like, freak out effect as where's my vape?

637.941 - 654.565 Kyle

Yeah, maybe, yeah, I don't know, like, the, the, like, how many milligrams you're getting from a vape, but I do feel like people have zin, clear zin addictions now, and again, we had a doctor on the podcast, he's a pretty rational dude, he's an MD, and he's like, look, there's a lot of interesting studies on nicotine, but I think people have taken it a little over the top with

Chapter 4: What alarming trends are emerging in young men's health?

780.924 - 799.141 Kyle

So like you should start to look into some mitochondrial support. Um, You doing those energy drinks, it puts you in a bad cycle. So like this coffee right now, the caffeine has a half-life of about six hours, depending on your genetic makeup, six to eight hours. So there's 100 milligrams of caffeine in there. It's like 6 p.m. right now. You're going to try to go to sleep.

0

799.421 - 811.923 Kyle

Well, you might go to sleep late, man. I don't know what you're getting into later. Okay, so like you're going to try to sleep on this red eye. Xanax. Yeah, see, there we go. And there's the cycle that a lot of people are in. That'll fuck up blue light, let me tell you.

0

811.943 - 812.784 Unknown

Yeah, exactly.

0

812.805 - 826.667 Kyle

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, blue light's minor when it comes to that. So this is the cycle a lot of people are in, honestly, where they're like, I'm tired. You know, let me drink some Celsius or a coffee at 6 p.m. And they feel like, oh, well, I can fall asleep. They've done studies on that shit, bro. Your sleep is negatively affected.

0

826.928 - 839.103 Kyle

You're still having about 50 milligrams of caffeine in your body by midnight. And if a 50 milligram caffeine pill was next to your bed and I was like, Stein, you take this, it's midnight. You'd be like, no, I'm not taking that. But you're essentially doing the same thing. Just because it lasts so long.

839.163 - 840.885 Unknown

Yeah. So you don't have caffeine at all?

840.905 - 852.019 Kyle

No, I do coffee in the morning. Okay. I had a beautiful coffee up here on the rooftop this morning. But like, I have a time window when I can have it. For me, it's like 10 to 1130. And if I don't have the caffeine in that time, then I won't have it.

852.455 - 869.955 Unknown

All right, if you guys have ever wanted to start any type of e-commerce business, I got you guys on a sweet deal with Shopify. We've used Shopify since day one, when we were shipping merch orders out of my dad's garage in Canada, all the way to our biggest drops in Europe and Los Angeles. What I love about it is they're there for you every step of the way.

870.016 - 886.685 Unknown

So like I said, when you're a small business, they're there for you. And then when you become a massive business, they're also there for you too. Obviously they do all the cool stuff like the website templates and the designs and all that, but they also handle all the boring stuff, the shipping, the inventory, the fulfillment.

Chapter 5: What are the most important lifestyle changes for better health?

999.141 - 1015.407 Kyle

You've never done tests or any of that shit, I never have. You know, Greg Doucette, he just made a video accusing me of enclomophene. The fuck is that? Because, like, I got my test levels checked, and, like, my test was really high on this last test. What's your test level? 1,007 on my last reading. No fucking chance. I swear. I have the lab results. Isn't that way above average?

0

1015.988 - 1017.09 Unknown

700's, like...

0

1017.07 - 1043.466 Kyle

yeah so my my levels before were close to 900 then they went up to a thousand now here's the thing this is why greg just said accuse me i make this video like yeah my test levels are at a thousand but i show the whole blood work so like in the next video i'm like the reason they're a thousand is because this thing called my shbg was a little high it's supposed to be like 50 is that brain when i was like 54. so i sat down with that doctor on my podcast recently and explained like okay your test is really high but your free test is just like normal high

0

1043.446 - 1060.543 Kyle

So there's a whole calculation of your testosterone, your free test. Then you look at your SHBG, other levels. So there's some things I can do to sort of dial that in. Overtraining might have been a part of it. Before I got my blood work done, we were just going hard. I was like, surf, jiu-jitsu class, weights. You know overtraining because you just did 100 miler.

0

1061.285 - 1078.853 Kyle

It can do some weird stuff with your hormones. So I need to dial that in. But yeah, I got that pretty good hormone health. What do you think is the best supplement? Okay, the best supplement is if you are not getting total body sun exposure, you should take vitamin D. And vitamin D is a bit controversial, but it's like, get sun, don't buy a supplement, but

1078.833 - 1095.807 Kyle

If that's not an option for you, like you're saying, many people live in areas where they're not gonna get that sun. If you're low in vitamin D, you're cooking your bone health, your skin health, it's connected with depression, anxiety, and it's so affordable to supplement. Like our vitamin D we sell is like 14 bucks, like two months, made with organic olive oil. It's easy.

1096.629 - 1100.537 Kyle

The next one's gonna be magnesium. Like those two right there, vitamin D and magnesium,

1100.635 - 1121.344 Kyle

i eat a hella good diet but when i put my stuff into chronometer and track everything i'll even fall sometimes short a little bit in magnesium so that helps with sleep it helps to sleep the glycinate form in particular is magnesium binding with glycine so it helps with sleep it's so easy bro like a lot of these supplements dude people look at them like oh i just want to eat like good i don't need a supplement

1121.324 - 1150.47 Kyle

yeah you're right like you can just eat real food start there don't buy any supplements if you don't sleep well if you're just like partying a bunch like it you don't need a supplement you need like to dial in like life a little bit and then yeah look towards supplements everyone swears by chicken rice vegetables what's like the ideal healthiest meals you can have twice a day bro i love steak and potatoes i'm a huge steak potato steak is great it really should be that every day right because the red meat and cholesterol i think some of that's cap

Chapter 6: How can nutrition impact overall well-being?

1282.802 - 1300.471 Kyle

It really depends which one I'm on. BPC 157. Huge fan of it. Started that somewhat recently. And like, you know, jiu jitsu, you get little injuries and shit. You probably have some lingering injuries. I'm guessing from the training. I got a couple of BPC shots in my fucking ankles. Dude, I'm on my ankle right now. Like I like sprained my ankle.

0

1300.491 - 1313.245 Kyle

Then I went and trained to the Michael Morales, that UFC fighter. And I was like, fuck it. I'm just going to train with my ankle swollen. So it got worse. And then boom, I'm hitting with BPC. Like I brought some to Tahoe with me because I just came back from Tahoe. And I'm like, I'm not going to not snowboard my boys.

0

1313.265 - 1333.334 Kyle

And that combined with the physical therapy, like movement of it, it's pretty far. I'm a big fan of it. But then, I mean, other peptides like GHK, CU is very popular. That seems relatively safe. But then there's ones that mess with your endocrine system. Um, like some of the Osterine and stuff can mess with your endocrine system. Retta, you know, it was like very popular again. Like sure.

0

1333.374 - 1353.711 Kyle

If you were really overweight, you could use it, but not everybody should be using that. I mean, you don't have any cheat meals, do you? I don't like a cheat meal for me is like, you don't smoke weed tacos. I used to smoke weed. I don't control your diet when you smoked weed. When I was healthy and still smoked, yes. When's the last time you had a drink? Like, a couple years ago. Oh. Yeah.

0

1353.851 - 1370.056 Kyle

So you just stopped, like... A couple years ago, I had, like, one shot. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. But, dude, back in the day, shout out Happy Dad, like, I was still in this, like, thing of trying to be healthy when I was younger and still, like, trying to go drink with my friends. And, like, a cleaner seltzer like that? Mm-hmm. Way better option than beer.

1370.096 - 1371.919 Unknown

The cleanest against alcohol. Yeah, it's way better than beer.

1371.939 - 1387.597 Kyle

You know, I don't advocate for this, but it's, like, the reality. It's, like... People in college and young people are going to drink alcohol. So it's like, you might as well have a stack that you could do to try to stay healthy. And people will call that dumb. So like, well, alcohol is a poison, but it's like, let's talk reality here. Like people are going to go drink.

1387.637 - 1405.315 Kyle

They're going to want to socialize. So it's like, you're way better off having a few of those staying hydrated. I haven't done this for over a decade, but like the dark beers, like bro, you're going to be so fucked up. You're going to be so hung over. There's so much other, you're basically drinking bread. There's 13 grams of carbs in a Corona. Yeah. Yeah, so you add that up.

1405.335 - 1410.083 Unknown

That's why I got fat as fuck before. Oh, beer will just... Because I don't know how many Coronas I drank in my life.

Chapter 7: What are the benefits of using beef tallow in skincare?

0

1411.184 - 1411.605 Unknown

A lot.

0

1411.845 - 1429.694 Kyle

A lot of Ronas, and that's a lot of sugar, dude. Yeah, and it's like, you know, you can go out at night and have, like, a little N-acetylcysteine in your pocket, a little vitamin C, a little magnesium, rip some electrolytes and water in between drinks, and, like... activated charcoal after you drink everything can really help and you'll be less hungover. Activated charcoal? Yeah.

0

1429.714 - 1447.706 Kyle

So if you get alcohol poisoning, if Stiney tonight at the airport before his red eye goes off and has like 10 whiskey shots, I don't know, and he gets alcohol poisoning, God forbid, they would pump him full of activated charcoal at the hospital. But you can take like small doses of activated charcoal and it will reduce hangovers. It's pretty sick. Where do you get that at? Anywhere.

0

1447.867 - 1463.271 Kyle

Any health food store. Whole Foods has them. What's a few natural ways to boost test? The most important thing for test is sleep. And the problem is many people, they can't wind down, bro. Like, and dude, you know, I'll struggle with it too. When I'm like, it's fun. It's fun going on our phones. We all work on our phones and shit.

1463.291 - 1480.056 Kyle

There's like so much going on that people have a lot of trouble winding down. So like the free method for that is there's something called four, seven, eight breathing. And it's just been proven to lower your heart rate. So you go on YouTube, you type in four, seven, eight breathing. And it's somebody literally you breathe in for four, you hold for seven, you exhale for eight.

1480.597 - 1497.698 Kyle

You do that for like five, 10 minutes, just in the dark, make your room completely dark. Because, bro, like, dude, I see people like, I'm going to bed and the room will look like this. It's like, no, you're not. You might be going into some whack stages of sleep, but you're not actually, like, getting deep sleep. And sleep is the number one thing for a test. What else besides sleep?

1497.838 - 1501.167 Kyle

Like, diet-wise or... Yeah, I think diet-wise, like...

1501.147 - 1530.208 Kyle

there is evidence that like having a balanced macro nutrient ratio where you do have some saturated fats in your diet i think people are a little bit afraid of the saturated fats but they can help your endocrine system and then i'm a huge fan of eating red meat like there's something to it i think everybody has felt that effect if you eat a steak and like you know later with your girl and you lay good pipe it happens yes sir liver king 2.0 liver king 2.0 well hey i don't want to shout out liver king that's awesome

Chapter 8: What lessons can we learn from different cultural health practices?

1558.633 - 1572.548 Kyle

Oh, he does? And I tried to link him with, like, a functional medicine doctor who was like, dude, I can fix your Crohn's. And, like, he hasn't, like, you have to, like, submit all these lab tests and stuff. And I know it's, like, a bit of work. And sometimes you just forget about it. But, bro, that shit can catch up with you, you know? So...

0

1572.528 - 1580.682 Brian Johnson

yeah he needs to dial it in where do you do like brian johnson's fucking scientist where do you get all your research from where you're pretty confident you're right

0

1580.83 - 1608.306 Kyle

yeah totally i mean so i got my degree in anthropology from uc santa cruz and so you study like the history of human beings and how we lived and i got super interested in the medical anthropology side of things like you start to like see like these tribes and stuff and like one of the things i always bring up is there was this one anthropologist that went to this island and he noticed that none of the people there had acne so they brought like dermatologists and stuff and they were like they did all these medical exams on these people the teenagers didn't have acne the adult didn't have a word for it okay so he's like what is going on

0

1608.286 - 1628.218 Kyle

and his conclusion was it's the gut microbiome it's no processed foods whatsoever and now you see all the research with the gut skin access if you type that into pubmed if anybody's interested you can read all about it your gut microbiome makes up your immune function and tremendously influences your skin health so back in college i'm a little vain you know i'm like i'm trying to get my skin better i start eating real food

0

1628.198 - 1631.829 Kyle

Boom. Like instant. So that like sent me down a rabbit hole.

1632.069 - 1643.141 Brian Johnson

As opposed to what? Just processed food. Yeah. Fast food. Just shit. I saw something the other day that people Chipotle is bad for you. You know, I'm not really against Chipotle, bro, in all honesty.

1643.161 - 1644.202 Kyle

How can you not? I can't cut that out.

1644.222 - 1647.286 Unknown

Yeah, what are some good fast spots like that that we would recommend?

1647.306 - 1662.807 Kyle

I mean, Chipotle's a great... You go there, you get some rice, you get some meat. Sure, they use seed oils. I'm not a fan of seed oils. But bro, we're talking that's pretty low on a lot of people's list of the important things for health. Sure, I think once you have the resources, you should dial that in. But I think Chipotle's pretty good in and out.
