I 113 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: led the big tenant interceptions that year, Like thought I 114 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: had a chance at least to get it, like undrafted, uh, 115 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: free agent deal something along those lines. Draft day rolls on, 116 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: I get zero phone calls. I get the only person 117 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: that called me on draft day was my agent, and 118 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: Pat Fitzgerald asked me, like what the deal was. 119 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: And you, uh, sorry interrupt, but you had the most interceptions, 120 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 2: you were coming off the most. 121 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 4: You said something, you had a stat getting off. 122 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: I led the big tenant interceptions, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, 123 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: so like at least like some kind of look for 124 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: like a roommate. Some plays had a hunter tackle like 125 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: that kind of deal, Like I thought I had a chance. 126 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: Like I'm not saying, like, you can't even get a 127 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: rookie mini camp tryout now. So so so as the 128 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: story rolls on, So like four days later, we had 129 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: a Northwestern guy down in the Buccaneers training camp and 130 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: he got me in for like the tryout and their 131 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: mini camp. And their mini camp was crazy because it 132 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: was Schiano's first year down there. Oh I I've never 133 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: heard good things, dude, Savage. So like, so it's a 134 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: three day mini camp and we're running two A days 135 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: and so we got to two A days and then 136 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: one more practice, but we're doing strength and conditioning in 137 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: between the two days so we hit a workout, or 138 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: so we hit a practice, then we did a workout 139 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: and we run hundreds during at the end of the workout, 140 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: and then we go out for a second practice. So 141 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: I'm playing safety at this point. Second practice, we have 142 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: three linebackers pop hamstring. So I go down and play 143 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: sam linebacker because I was the biggest safety. You're gonna 144 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: have some soft tissue injuries too, Yeah, fucking yeah. Little overtraining, 145 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: a sprinkle of overtraining. So I switched down to sam 146 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: backer and ended up holding my own. I had Brian Cox. 147 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: He's an old dog from oh I saw good videos. Yeah, yeah, 148 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: he's either he's a he's a saucy motherfucker. He's a stud. 149 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: But like that was like my first lesson and like 150 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: showing like I had a good camp. They're like, hey, 151 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: you come back here and you gain twenty pounds that 152 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: kind of deal. So I was like, all right, I 153 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: got a chance to get signed. I'm leaving feeling pretty good. 154 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: And I had like another work out the following weekend 155 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: for the Bears mini camp, and they like that was 156 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: like but like so down in Tampa. That was Mark 157 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: Baron's rookie year. So he was like a safety that 158 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: came in and did they end up having like another 159 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: undrafted freegent sign that kind of thing. Anyways, long story short, 160 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: they didn't sign me, but I got like my first 161 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: lesson on like how to show up for a workout 162 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. Brian Cox was a savage. 163 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: He's like basically saying, like, any chance you have a 164 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: time to show your physical show effort. He goes, never 165 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: lose that. Because there's like a time I met this 166 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: full back in a hole and it was tag off 167 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: and like I tagged off. He goes, would you hit 168 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: him there? I was like, I was like, yeah, of 169 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: course I would have dropped him.

I was almost up to 437 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: like linebacker weight, so I gained more weight than I lost. 438 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: I was the strongest I've ever been because like, but 439 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: I was, I mean, I was drinking everything, like I was, dude. 440 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: I was blending up steaks, I was blending up cookies. 441 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: I was blending up Chipotle. So like my diet was 442 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: like three liter cups and I was just drinking my 443 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: entire diet and made it happen, and supplements and everything 444 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 1: but bananas. So yeah, it's super crazy. But anyways, uh 445 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: from there, that's fucking nuts. Yeah, that's fucking awesome. Yeah yeah, 446 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: but I mean that's I did. I did to myself. 447 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: I got your boy got a little too crazy and 448 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: well yeah, yeah for sure, but I still didn't deserve 449 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: that ship. 450 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, like nobody's gonna be, you know, blending up steaks 451 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: and Chipotle and thinking about getting their way back. 452 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, but so like kind of at this point now, 453 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: like I like I I kept training with them and 454 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: that kind of thing, and then eventually went back and 455 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: did northwesterns Pro Day the following year, and I was 456 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: switching the linebacker at this point. Now is gonna go 457 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: play some linebacker safety in Canada. And since I didn't 458 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: get a shot at safety, I'm gonna try and play 459 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: linebacker because I know I can play. And so I 460 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: go to the Pro day. I run faster, jump higher, 461 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: like all my numbers are better, even though I gained 462 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: twenty pounds. So and that's where like now, like I 463 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 1: see the relationship between the leg strength, the supplements, all 464 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: these things. So I start to go and like I 465 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: started to get like addicted to the to the gym 466 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: into like bettering myself and chasing these edges to be 467 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: just to be better and get the shot that I wanted. 468 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: So I go up to Canada, and low key I 469 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: got cut from Canada and they put me on Pea 470 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: squad for a little bit. And then in the story 471 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: and so the only reason I got active the first 472 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: time in Canada so that in Canada football fields longer 473 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: and wider and the field goal is on the goal line. 474 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: So this one of our other like our weekside linebacker 475 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: was covering this post route and runs into the field 476 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: goal and breaks his collar bone. And so I get 477 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: an opportunity to be active and start eating on special 478 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: teams up there and eventually earn the starting spot on defense, 479 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: play another year up there and get the opportunity to 480 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: come back to uh the NFL with the with the Vikings. 481 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: But that was a whole another mess in and of 482 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: itself because I get back or sorry, I'm at home 483 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: after my contract and the the the rough Riders call 484 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: me and say, hey, who's your agent because they don't 485 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: remember because I initially initially made the contact. Yeah. So anyways, 486 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: they're like, like, the the Eagles and the Saints want 487 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: to work you out. So I was like, all right, cool, 488 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: like put them in touch with my agent. I work 489 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: out for the teams, but I work out for the 490 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: Eagles first, have a really good workout, and they they 491 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: do your blood work and X rays and all that 492 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: kind of stuff at the workouts, and they go, hey, 493 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: something's wrong with your blood work. It's probably it's probably 494 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: a lab air, but uh go get your blood work 495 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: tested to get and sent to us. And I'm a Serano, 496 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: so uh I was like, Doc, like, I say, I 497 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: have low blood platelets and I go, I don't know 498 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: what that means. And he goes, oh shit. He goes 499 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: like low blood plates usually means cancer and all these 500 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: kind of crazy things.

I got to the 533 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: I found out enough about it down the road once 534 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: because I so like I made the mistake of going 535 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: to the Saints for the next workout and I killed 536 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: the next workout like ran high four five like shuttled 537 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: like in the like six seven again like three cone 538 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: shuttle that kind of thing, like good workout. I had 539 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: their pro personnel guy, Terry Fontau, like saying, hey, we're 540 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: gonna sign you. I was like bet, like I'm I 541 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: got a shot in the NFL. And then he goes, 542 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,719 Speaker 1: but we gotta get but you have this blood thing. 543 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: We gotta get that figured out. Like we've never had 544 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: this before. So like he's like, we'll link you with 545 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: our hematologists, our blood doctor, and we'll figure it out. 546 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: Don't hear anything for them for a few weeks, and 547 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: the CFL starts calling their freeency opened and so up there, 548 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: like the money goes fast. So like basically every day 549 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: of freegency up there, I'm losing like ten grand a 550 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: day if I'm going back to the CFL. My agent 551 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: can't get a hold of anybody in New Orleans. So 552 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: and I have this other agent call me asking me 553 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: about my contract in there because he's got another guy 554 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: that's negotiating. We're trying to drive the price up all 555 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: this stuff. Anyways, like this agent was like more speaking 556 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: my language. My other agent wasn't doing shit. So I 557 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: fired the other agent, which I should have done years before. 558 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: But and so he gets me in touch with the Saints, 559 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: gets me phone down there, but they're gonna have me 560 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: sign an injury waiver where if I don't if I 561 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: don't heal on any like any injury concussion, pulled hamstring, sprain, finger, whatever, 562 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: I don't heal on their timeline, they can cut me 563 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: without pay, no injury settlements and that kind of stuff, 564 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: and which was trash. And so that agent was like no, 565 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: and we're still talking to them. And then I switched 566 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: agents and that agent got me three workouts in twenty 567 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: four hours. So that's the first time was like, oh, 568 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: agents do kind of matter. Yeah, they do matter, like 569 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 1: their connections matter. And then a couple of days later, 570 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: I worked out for the Vikings. Didn't tell them about 571 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: my blood condition. They never even noticed in my blood 572 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: work and that kind of thing. Had a good off 573 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: season with them.

Which season is this twenty fifteen twenty fifteen season? 596 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 2: And then in three weeks your agent calls Texans want 597 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 2: you to sign active. 598 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: Yep with them? Yep. All right, and so and the 599 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: kind of the little dance I went through here now 600 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: is if somebody signed you off practice squad, they have 601 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: to keep you active for three games to give you 602 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: an accredited season yep. And so however much money that 603 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: equates to. But the Vikings want me to stay there too, 604 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: so they offered me full salary guaranteed to stay there 605 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: for the whole you're on practice squad, and they said 606 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: they'd get me up as soon as they could to 607 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: active roster. So I'm sitting at the airport trying to 608 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: make the decision whether to stay for half a mil 609 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: or go and play three games for whatever twenty K 610 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: game or whatever it equates to.

So I was the backup at Northwestern. Oh yeah, 863 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: but come on, I love it, but we need to 864 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: get updated tapes. But uh, that's not the that's not 865 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: the table on everybody to check. But anyway, we'll have 866 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: the right straight. But so, actually, up in the CFL, 867 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,320 Speaker 1: uh our long snapper had an a c joint, So 868 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: I snapped for four games in the CFL, and then 869 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: in Houston, uh John Weeks had a hamstring one of 870 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: the preseason games, so I snapped for a preseason game. 871 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,920 Speaker 1: So I've always kind of been the emergency guy. Has 872 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,439 Speaker 1: been like a back Yeah, I mean like it adds 873 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: value like oh the kids, uh hustle linebacker. And then 874 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: he also can be our emergency snapper. Maybe that's like 875 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: the breaking point to keep me on a roster. So 876 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, for sure. 877 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 2: People always make those little side comments say hey, you 878 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 2: really want to play in the league and last in 879 00:37:58,760 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 2: the league, like pick up long snap. 880 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 4: Oh for sure, you got these PUDs that will be 881 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 4: long snappers. 882 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 2: You know, no disrespect to the long snappers, but you'd 883 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 2: be having guys run down the field after snapping the 884 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 2: ball to go on punt. It's just like, all right, 885 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 2: you get the punter and the long snapper. They don't 886 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 2: necessarily count. There's nine guys a block on the field. 887 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. And then so like that's where like Luke Rhoades 888 00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: with Indy is a linebacker, uh, converted long snapper or whatever, 889 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 1: and he like he's been eating I think he was 890 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 1: All Pro last year. And so like the special teams 891 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 1: coach with the Texans was part of that transition. So 892 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: like that's one of the contacts. And then I know 893 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,240 Speaker 1: a lot of special teams coaches around that I'm sending 894 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: tape to and that kind of thing.

It's not like you need insane top speed 1160 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: but example right, yeah, but but anyways, Uh, so I 1161 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 1: switched agents I wanted, like because the last deal I 1162 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 1: got from my last one year deal, I wasn't ecstatic 1163 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 1: about it, and so I was like, all right, I 1164 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 1: need someone more contacts this time around and try and 1165 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,840 Speaker 1: get deals.

So I'm gonna try 1168 00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: and like temper myself a little bit. But so he 1169 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,200 Speaker 1: tells a new agent. This new agent, so he tells 1170 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:20,440 Speaker 1: me all these things like he can do for me, 1171 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,399 Speaker 1: gives me a timeline for like when we think we're 1172 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: gonna get signed, what conversation's gonna have, And so I 1173 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,839 Speaker 1: hold him accountable to these things like hey, like Combine's over, 1174 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 1: like where are your conversations at?

Yeah. And then my buddy at the 1441 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,760 Speaker 1: same time, Harvey Martin, was up in Minnesota, and he 1442 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 1: was going through the wim Hoff stuff, like he's like 1443 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,400 Speaker 1: transitioning out of the baseball world, and it was like 1444 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 1: kind of picking him up emotionally, like like his physiology everything. 1445 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,920 Speaker 1: He was feeling good and like it became like a 1446 01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 1: tool for him to like get through what he was 1447 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,320 Speaker 1: going through. And then he started applying it to sport 1448 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:43,560 Speaker 1: up there. He was a pitching coach, so he started 1449 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,680 Speaker 1: applying it to baseball players. But like, so at the time, 1450 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,680 Speaker 1: I was doing the free diving and the wim Hoff stuff. 1451 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 1: And that's when Luke Richardson came into Houston, the strength 1452 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:56,040 Speaker 1: coach took over for Yeah. So and so we're down 1453 01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 1: there and he comes down and he assesses the team 1454 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,880 Speaker 1: and realized and he comes to conclue that we're unfit 1455 01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: to run. He does like the FMS scores and like 1456 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,800 Speaker 1: the nord Board hamstring strength tests and stuff and says like, 1457 01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,040 Speaker 1: you guys aren't fit to run yet.

If you run, I don't 1461 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 1: care if you're JJ Watt, DeAndre Hopkins. Nobody runs until 1462 01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,640 Speaker 1: I say so.

How long were you not 1475 01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,439 Speaker 1: running again, Like explain this about a month? 1476 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so like a month no running, you're just 1477 01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:57,200 Speaker 4: doing breath work. 1478 01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, well we're doing breath Then we're doing strength training 1479 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:01,480 Speaker 1: in the gym, like we're doing hamstring eccentrics, we're doing 1480 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:05,160 Speaker 1: glute activations as far as no, I'm not doing anything 1481 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,560 Speaker 1: besides like my breath work stuff, and so I all right, 1482 01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,120 Speaker 1: there's something here. And then that's when like me and 1483 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,720 Speaker 1: my buddy Harvey started to put together this mind Strong 1484 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,520 Speaker 1: project to where like how can breath improve sports performance? 1485 01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 1: And so like people in the world then where this 1486 01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:23,480 Speaker 1: dude Brian McKenzie, Lard Hamilton and his wife Gabby Gabby Reese, 1487 01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,320 Speaker 1: and like there's not a lot of people in this 1488 01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,600 Speaker 1: breath world. So like it's kind of like we're starting 1489 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 1: to figure out that this is like a missing pillar 1490 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 1: of human performance, right and so and now then eventually, 1491 01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: like as you get into the weeds of it, it's 1492 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 1: not human performance just like being a good, clean human 1493 01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,000 Speaker 1: being in the first place. You start learning about mouth 1494 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,520 Speaker 1: breathing and versus nasal breathing and what actual like calm 1495 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:47,000 Speaker 1: breathing does to the mind. And then like how like 1496 01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:48,920 Speaker 1: if you are a mouth breather, how you're more like 1497 01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 1: more likely to like so I know you take your mouth, 1498 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 1: yeah yeah, so like you're more likely for sleep apnea 1499 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,040 Speaker 1: and stress and anxiety and all these things. And so 1500 01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 1: we start asking why, and like these mentors in the 1501 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,400 Speaker 1: the realm, we're able to answer these questions for us. 1502 01:06:02,480 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 1: And eventually we did our own research, so you got 1503 01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,640 Speaker 1: like the auction advantage, you got all these books in 1504 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,040 Speaker 1: the art of it too, and then we started demoing 1505 01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 1: all these meditation methods and stuff, and eventually it became 1506 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,320 Speaker 1: this human performance company where we're teaching breath work to 1507 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 1: teach mental skills. So not only are we improving your 1508 01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: performance and your VO two max and stuff with breath work. Now, 1509 01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:24,480 Speaker 1: like if you can control your breath and your physiology, 1510 01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 1: you can actually control your psychology. And they're tied very 1511 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,920 Speaker 1: closely together. So like kind of our stance on it 1512 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,440 Speaker 1: is like psychologies unresolved physiology, like your heart rate and 1513 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,160 Speaker 1: your respiratory rate tell the brain that you're safe and 1514 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,240 Speaker 1: you can solve problems. If not, you regress and you 1515 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 1: can't solve problems. And I think that shows up in 1516 01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,360 Speaker 1: football too, like guys that are too amped up, or 1517 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:44,920 Speaker 1: like young kids that can't like they know what to do, 1518 01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,520 Speaker 1: they know how to play cover three, they know how 1519 01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,200 Speaker 1: to play man to man all day, but they freak 1520 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,919 Speaker 1: out like they're probably not breathing and they're not calm. 1521 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 1: They don't understand that, like the breath is a tool 1522 01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:54,760 Speaker 1: to down regulate and focus and things like that. So 1523 01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 1: we've created this company around those skills and so we 1524 01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: can improve your athletic performance and then we can like 1525 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,720 Speaker 1: help you get control of your sports so you're a 1526 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:05,680 Speaker 1: sports I college and your mental skills too. So it's 1527 01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 1: been it's been a cool little little journey. We started 1528 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,040 Speaker 1: that like back in twenty fifteen loosely, and then it 1529 01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,120 Speaker 1: like it built as we got deeper and deeper into 1530 01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:14,120 Speaker 1: breath work. 1531 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,560 Speaker 2: And now you guys are getting into professional sports, right, Yeah, 1532 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,000 Speaker 2: so we're starting to get to the level of working 1533 01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 2: with professional athletes. 1534 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. So we we were the first breath coach and 1535 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 1: the MLB we have a contract as the breast specialists 1536 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,280 Speaker 1: for the San Francisco Giants, who are number one right now. 1537 01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Shout out to the Giants, to the boys. And then 1538 01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 1: where we got a bunch of NHL guys. They've they've 1539 01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,240 Speaker 1: gravitated towards it because I mean VO two max is 1540 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,560 Speaker 1: like the standard for hockey because their wark capacity is 1541 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 1: so high. Yeah, so we have about like six seven 1542 01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:47,440 Speaker 1: NHL guys that work with us pretty regularly. Definitely do 1543 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,360 Speaker 1: like the full off season program and that kind of thing. 1544 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:52,600 Speaker 1: And then we got a few pitchers around the MLB too. 1545 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,880 Speaker 1: But yeah, so it's grown and it's got some traction 1546 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 1: and people like the cool thing about is you can 1547 01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: feel it, Like like we went through a little bit 1548 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,680 Speaker 1: of something this morning, me and you, the hypoxic work. 1549 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,200 Speaker 1: But like it's just like it's it's a tool. 1550 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,520 Speaker 2: Right if I'm an athlete talking to you or just 1551 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,959 Speaker 2: anybody anybody listening to, Like, what's a simple explanation about 1552 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,520 Speaker 2: why people should be curious about breathing correctly? Yeah, I 1553 01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:15,480 Speaker 2: mean in breath performance and. 1554 01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like like you can start from the 1555 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,400 Speaker 1: like the principles of it, like like why should you 1556 01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 1: breathe them through your mouth versus your nose? And when 1557 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,120 Speaker 1: like like if you're fighting somebody, yeah, breathing through your 1558 01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,800 Speaker 1: mouth all day, Like the primary benefit of breathing through 1559 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:30,479 Speaker 1: your mouth is to get more auction in and out. 1560 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: But now you start talking about this how you breathe 1561 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 1: throughout the day, like that that compounds more than anything, 1562 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,040 Speaker 1: like if your mouth breathing all day, Like, so the mouth, 1563 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:40,840 Speaker 1: the mouth is digestive, the nose is respiratory. Like that's 1564 01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,680 Speaker 1: how atomic anatomically worked build That's how God built us. 1565 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:46,880 Speaker 1: So if you're breeding through your nose, the air is 1566 01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:50,200 Speaker 1: getting cleaned, humidified, you have the ability to access nitric oxide. 1567 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,479 Speaker 1: You breed into the belly, which is the bottom of 1568 01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,800 Speaker 1: the lung. You strengthen the diaphragm and the pelvic floor. 1569 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,120 Speaker 1: If you're breathing, breathing properly through your nose and so like, 1570 01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,679 Speaker 1: now that's spine alignment and stability. Like there's a bunch 1571 01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:06,280 Speaker 1: of like fundamental benefits to just properly breathing, good breathing mechanics. 1572 01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,080 Speaker 1: And then now if you want to be an athlete 1573 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: and you want to be a dog, now you like 1574 01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 1: address your relationship with oxygen and carbon dioxide. Like it 1575 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if you're four hundred pounds or you're one 1576 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,040 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty pounds. I put an oximiner on your 1577 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:19,800 Speaker 1: finger that reads the auctionyen in your blood. It's going 1578 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 1: to be ninety five to ninety nine unless you're you 1579 01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,679 Speaker 1: have some lung disorder. So the problem is not having oxygen, 1580 01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,000 Speaker 1: it's how well you use it. So that now becomes 1581 01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 1: your relationship with co too, Like the byproduct of what 1582 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,360 Speaker 1: you burn. Like after you burn, the auction becomes combon 1583 01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:36,120 Speaker 1: to oxide, you achale it out and you can you 1584 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,680 Speaker 1: can control and train that tolerance, so longer you can 1585 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 1: control higher levels of COE too. The longer you can work, 1586 01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:42,880 Speaker 1: and your VO two mex goes up, and now you 1587 01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,519 Speaker 1: can run longer. And like how like me and like 1588 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,720 Speaker 1: my buddy Nate, after like that you keep the you 1589 01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,000 Speaker 1: keep the dark place away from you longer like you can. 1590 01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,439 Speaker 1: It's just like that mental giant like or that mental 1591 01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 1: demon that comes on your shoulder like no, you're too 1592 01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:57,599 Speaker 1: tired and that kind of stuff, like you can keep 1593 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:00,120 Speaker 1: that farther away. Yeah, So like that's kind of how 1594 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:01,160 Speaker 1: we view it, right. 1595 01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,080 Speaker 2: Because I'm asking from a stance too, if like if 1596 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,320 Speaker 2: if an athlete's like listening, like if you're just sitting 1597 01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,080 Speaker 2: there like just some meat hit like okay, why would 1598 01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:08,759 Speaker 2: I incorporate breathing into my stuff? 1599 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:09,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1600 01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:11,000 Speaker 2: That's why I ask, Like a simple example that could 1601 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 2: make somebody think and be like yo, I should get 1602 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 2: curious about this. 1603 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:17,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, going into performance, Yeah, it's just like even simpler. 1604 01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 1: Look at it as MMA fighting, Like you see a 1605 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 1: guy you can tell when somebody's dead tired because their 1606 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:27,000 Speaker 1: mouth breathing heavy body language shows it. Like the guys 1607 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,320 Speaker 1: that are cool, calm and collected and bringing to their 1608 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,639 Speaker 1: nose like they last longer. Like the goals to breathe 1609 01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,479 Speaker 1: less that the guy who breathes the least is probably 1610 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:36,280 Speaker 1: gonna win. Like if you can't breathe, you can't fight. 1611 01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:38,760 Speaker 1: If you can't get auction to the muscle, you can't fight, 1612 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:40,719 Speaker 1: Like if you can't run like your if your legs 1613 01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:44,400 Speaker 1: are dead, can't fight. And you can train your tolerance 1614 01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:46,120 Speaker 1: to that level of CO two that you build up 1615 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 1: in your legs or your arms or whatever body part 1616 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 1: you're using for your sport. So it's and it's something 1617 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,760 Speaker 1: you can do without wearing a tear in the body. 1618 01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:54,599 Speaker 1: Like you don't have to go bang and run one 1619 01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,120 Speaker 1: hundred yard sprints all the time. Work in some breath work, 1620 01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,760 Speaker 1: get comfortable with higher levels of CO two with XO 1621 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,719 Speaker 1: and things like that, and you can improve your aerublic capacity. 1622 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:08,280 Speaker 1: It's been proven time and time and again.

So like we 1790 01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,040 Speaker 1: we'll teach you again the relationship, how to dump CO 1791 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:43,080 Speaker 1: two so that the next breath, the auction gets in, 1792 01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,840 Speaker 1: calms the system gets to the cell. And so now 1793 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 1: like the breasts a tool to beat the cold, to 1794 01:18:47,560 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 1: beat the stress, and you can use that in a stadium, 1795 01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,160 Speaker 1: you can use that in the ice. You knew all 1796 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:53,240 Speaker 1: the things, but like it's just yeah, like if you 1797 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:55,879 Speaker 1: if you can't breathe an environment, you can't own the environment. 1798 01:18:56,080 --> 01:18:57,519 Speaker 1: If you can't breathe in a position you can't own 1799 01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:59,400 Speaker 1: the positions the same in weightlifting and that kind of thing. 1800 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,920 Speaker 1: But no, like the honestly, like the reason I love 1801 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 1: the the ice so much is it's forced meditation for me. Like, 1802 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,559 Speaker 1: like ice sucks every time. It doesn't matter how many 1803 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 1: times I've done it that nobody wants. The hardest part 1804 01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:12,120 Speaker 1: is like the thirty seconds before you get in that thing. 1805 01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:14,360 Speaker 2: You no question, I'll wake up, tell myself, I'm gonna 1806 01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:16,000 Speaker 2: hit a cold shower the next morning, I'll wake up. 1807 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:18,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're start turning it up to that heat. 1808 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:20,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're fine when you get in though, Like 1809 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 1: it's not it's not the end of the world every time, like, but. 1810 01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:24,840 Speaker 4: For sure, but when you get in, you're little you know, 1811 01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,799 Speaker 4: you're a little cold, you're a little naked, you're a little. 1812 01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,360 Speaker 1: Afraid, you know right when you. 1813 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,760 Speaker 2: Know, when you turn that when you turn that knob, dude, 1814 01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 2: and that cold just hit you. Yeah, it's just but yeah, 1815 01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 2: once you get past, yeah for sure. 1816 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 1: But like and like there's not a crazy soup and 1817 01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 1: amount of benefits to the ice by itself because it's 1818 01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:45,200 Speaker 1: like a vaso constrictor and that kind of thing. But 1819 01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,839 Speaker 1: like you get the uh, the focus and the awakeness 1820 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:49,519 Speaker 1: from the narrow up and nefferent hit and that kind 1821 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,760 Speaker 1: of thing. And it's it's also like it's like making 1822 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:53,680 Speaker 1: your bed, like it's something you don't want to do, 1823 01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:55,400 Speaker 1: but you should do it. Start shut yourself out with 1824 01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:58,200 Speaker 1: some accomplishment, that kind of thing. But like, but like 1825 01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,200 Speaker 1: the three minutes and the ice, especially in nature, just 1826 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,680 Speaker 1: like forced meditation, like I'm not anywhere else, I'm there. 1827 01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,720 Speaker 1: I'm focusing on my breath and and it's chilling. Then 1828 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:07,600 Speaker 1: once you get out, like your your numb anyways, like 1829 01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 1: getting your legs and the cold type your legs numb 1830 01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:11,240 Speaker 1: up and you don't feel anything after a minute anyways, 1831 01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,360 Speaker 1: So you'll get out from there and I'll do some 1832 01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 1: breath work after. 1833 01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:15,880 Speaker 2: I get out of But I mean you're sitting in 1834 01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:18,360 Speaker 2: their neck up, yeah, neck up, Like what kind of 1835 01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,759 Speaker 2: benefit do you have from that cold water immersion? 1836 01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:22,439 Speaker 1: It's just more you know what I'm saying, you're kind 1837 01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 1: of you're. 1838 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:24,800 Speaker 2: Kind of like just going over it, saying there's not 1839 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,640 Speaker 2: a lot of there's not tremendous benefit, but there is 1840 01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:28,439 Speaker 2: in cold water. 1841 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Yeah. Yeah, So obviously one the first 1842 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 1: you control the breath. It's like it's an immune system booster, 1843 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,640 Speaker 1: but like it's it's literally like again, like I just 1844 01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: call it forced meditation. Like but like so now if 1845 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:42,800 Speaker 1: you if you, if you want to get deeper into it, 1846 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't know how deep you want to get to, 1847 01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 1: like the cold chalk and heat chop proteins. But like 1848 01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: I primarily use ice now as a contrast on a 1849 01:20:49,400 --> 01:20:52,280 Speaker 1: recovery day, gotcha, And then like I'll use it like 1850 01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,360 Speaker 1: cold chower to wake up in a cold chower, to 1851 01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,040 Speaker 1: go to bed to get my body temperature down. 1852 01:20:56,240 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 2: What kind of recovery methods do you use, like with 1853 01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:02,400 Speaker 2: hot cold cold? I do the sauna, So explain what? 1854 01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,439 Speaker 1: Yeah there, yeah, so like that's where you see some 1855 01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,439 Speaker 1: crazy benefits and it's like it's a great flush recovery. 1856 01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,640 Speaker 1: But so you start three minutes in the cold, you 1857 01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:12,519 Speaker 1: get a heavy sweat, try and get your heart right 1858 01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:14,400 Speaker 1: up above one twenty in the sauna, get a good 1859 01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 1: sweat gone, another three minutes in the cold, you'll go 1860 01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:17,439 Speaker 1: neck up. 1861 01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,160 Speaker 2: In the cold, right yep, every time, and then you'll 1862 01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:21,080 Speaker 2: go straight from the cold, you'll get in the hot sauna. 1863 01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:24,320 Speaker 1: A traditional sauna are we talking in for it traditional sauna. 1864 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:25,040 Speaker 1: They give a little hot. 1865 01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,640 Speaker 2: Like two ten, and then you'll try to work up 1866 01:21:29,680 --> 01:21:31,600 Speaker 2: get your heart rate up over one twenty. So for 1867 01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 2: how long do you get in the sauna? 1868 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,360 Speaker 1: The saunas like it depends on the temperature, Like it's 1869 01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:36,840 Speaker 1: two hundred, you can get you can be out in 1870 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,240 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. If not, it bleeds on a little longer. 1871 01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:42,000 Speaker 1: And everybody's different too, everybody responds to the heat differently. 1872 01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,200 Speaker 1: So but so it's three rounds, so three three touches 1873 01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:46,719 Speaker 1: of the ice. But the last round of the ice 1874 01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:48,880 Speaker 1: is just uh usually just a dunk or like a 1875 01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,840 Speaker 1: dunk and hold your breath underwater under the ice tub 1876 01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:53,360 Speaker 1: for a little bit. Do you finish in the ice? 1877 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,040 Speaker 1: You finish in the ice for recovery. But like the 1878 01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:58,080 Speaker 1: big thing there is like what people don't realize is 1879 01:21:58,120 --> 01:21:59,880 Speaker 1: it's it turns into a workout. Like some of our 1880 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,759 Speaker 1: hockey guys will burn like seven to nine hundred calories 1881 01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 1: sit like going because usually the cycle takes around an hour. 1882 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:08,200 Speaker 1: And these guys like like again, where you burn a 1883 01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: lot of your calories is your cardiovascular system and you 1884 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,360 Speaker 1: have all these little muscles on like the veins and 1885 01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,760 Speaker 1: arteries that vaso constrict vasodilite heart rate gets up in 1886 01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:17,800 Speaker 1: the heat. Then you get back in vaso constrict and 1887 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 1: you're working these little muscles and you end up burning. 1888 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:22,679 Speaker 1: Like it taxes your nervous system, but like you'll sleep 1889 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:25,080 Speaker 1: like a baby after it. It's phenomenal. And then then 1890 01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 1: you're also like you're killing weak cells like like the cold, 1891 01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:30,400 Speaker 1: like the cold shock proteins, heat chark proteins. Just start 1892 01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:34,200 Speaker 1: becoming like a tougher human to kill. Yeah, yeah, a 1893 01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:37,240 Speaker 1: tougher human to kill. I mean you get the juice flowing, right, 1894 01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:39,840 Speaker 1: but now there's yeah, but now there's like all these 1895 01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 1: life metaphors and all this like primal step back where 1896 01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,200 Speaker 1: like we're not meant to live in ac We're not 1897 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,120 Speaker 1: supposed to go from seventy degrees in our house to 1898 01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:49,160 Speaker 1: our car to work to our car and home. Like 1899 01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:51,200 Speaker 1: we have energy systems in our body to fight the 1900 01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:53,080 Speaker 1: cold and the heat, but we don't use them anymore. 1901 01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,760 Speaker 1: So like where does that energy system go? Like some 1902 01:22:55,880 --> 01:22:58,400 Speaker 1: people say it's like the autoimmune diseases, whatever the hell, 1903 01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,960 Speaker 1: but like that's all here's but like like it makes 1904 01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:04,920 Speaker 1: you more comfortable in extreme environment, So why would you 1905 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 1: not train yourself that way?
