We hope you enjoy today's episode!
this is well, basically with your host, mike de silva, and sam weeks on today's episode we talked life updates sam's losing weight.
Speaker 2:That's crazy. How? Why is that bad? Is it good? Not sure. Andrew's playing some new video games. He really wanted to tell us about them because we're super interested about it.
Speaker 3:Everyone loved it.
Speaker 2:There was applause going on while I was doing it in the live studio that we're recording in right now. And then we moved on to some questions from you guys just to this week, because we talked for a long time. Uh, we had one question about being a vegetarian and finding a protein sources. The other question was from an older gentleman who had some questions about should you be doing it? Is it necessary? Are there alternatives? We hope you enjoy today's Well, basically.
Speaker 3:Well, basically, hello Sammy, what's going on? I just had an injection.
Speaker 2:What type of injection I got a whooping cough You're on. Dianabol. What's Dianabol? You've started taking Dianabol.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I'm juicing. No, I took a. I got a whooping cough. My friends have had a baby. You've got whooping cough. Yeah, uh, no, I took a. I got whooping cough. My friends have had a baby. Um, you've got whooping cough.
Speaker 2:No, I can't go see a baby.
Speaker 3:I got the whooping cough vaccine. Uh, this vaccine I had when I was a child, like a baby, and it gave me the worst anaphylactic attack and so I never got.
Speaker 2:like the follow-up one when I was a kid. Yeah, wow, okay, right.
Speaker 3:But because of that, when I was like 20, I got whooping cough. I actually did get it, which was a hellish experience. Have you? Do you know what happens when you get whooping cough?
Speaker 2:You cough really loudly, yeah, but it's hoop hoop. You really do, though, and you also become hula hoop yes, yeah, yeah, I was actually.
Speaker 3:Not many people know about that because people aren't given the hula hoop yeah, yeah, yeah the diagnosis well, when you get the vaccine, you have to hula hoop the whole time as well to try to like trick the disease oh okay, I didn't know that no, the what happens is that when you, when you have like an attack it's kind of a bit like asthma your like throat closes up and so you make this hooping noise.
Speaker 3:It's like oh my god, stop. Um, yeah, it happened to me, uh, and I thought I was dying and then my mom, who's a nurse, saw that it was whooping cough and was like he's like it, he'll be fine. Like you don't die if you're 20 years old and you get whooping cough. You die if you're like one year old and you get whooping cough, or you're 80 years old and you get whooping cough. But I went and got the vaccine. The guy was very nice. Uh, I was like I don't like to see it going in. He was like nobody likes vaccines. He was so easy on it and I was like wow, I didn't feel that at all. And you know what he said to me. He was like do you know, it's so easy giving you a vaccine. I can just see the dealt perfectly outlined. I was like trying to fuck me in the pharmacist's office.
Speaker 2:His number number no, not my type. No, what's. What is your type? Little freaks, little freaks, it's little freaks you do.
Speaker 3:I've met a little freak or two of yours, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or pictures of little freaks I do. Yeah, uh, there's something about him just you not little freaks not little freaks.
Speaker 2:She's tall.
Speaker 3:She's taller than me, probably and with heels on for sure yeah, I look like a short king, short king, um, what have you been up to today?
Speaker 2:uh, I woke up, I trained some people and then I vigorously got on my hands and knees and mopped the house is so clean yeah, it feels good I need to do my study, but, um, that was my main thing today and then I'll do downstairs first and just reorganized everything, all the records and all the cables, and we just have like the house for us is too small, sort of, because we have so much shit like just a surplus of things but do you know, if the house was larger you would just have more shit like the the vessel fills or what is it.
Speaker 3:The space will be filled with whatever the cup overfloweth. Yeah no it doesn't matter how big the jug is, the water will always come to the top of it. You know really what? If you only half fill that jug, you can't half fill it. It's not in the human's nature to half fill the jug. That's a very positive outlook. You've got there, yeah, but it's not half full, it is completely full. It's actually genuinely full.
Speaker 3:Always. You can have a tiny little jug and you'll fill up that jug, or you'll have a huge, enormous gargantuan jug and you'll fill that as well. I love gargantuan jugs. Speaking of gargantuan jugs, let's play a song. Wait, I have more news, gaming news. So, um, sea of thieves, which is that pirate game I play, has their new seasons out and you can get this great pirate ship amazing, I haven't played it yet, but I'm gonna. And you, if you take over the great pirate ship, you get like a whole skeleton crew with you. Amazing, you can't beat that. Uh, and what other news do I have? World of warcraft, the new expansion is coming out in like less than a month, and so they've released the pre-patch, which, for anyone that doesn't know, very exciting times, because that's when they put in all of like the upgrades that go between expansions. They do that now and then they release like the new continent or whatever comes out later. So that's coming out soon. You and all my friends are going to lose me for like a whole two months.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 3:I love World of Warcraft.
Speaker 2:No, andrew, the real world is better.
Speaker 3:It's not. There's no way. The real world is better than World of Warcraft.
Speaker 2:You can't receive or give fellatio in World of Warcraft.
Speaker 3:No, but you can make your character look like they're receiving or giving fellatio, and then you can type in in the text character look like they're receiving or giving fellatio, and then you can type in that's close, but it's not quite it no you can't eat a cheeseburger on world warcraft and taste it it's true.
Speaker 3:My character probably tastes it, though. No, and if they're an extension of me anyway, I wouldn't like I reckon. But the real world will be here when I'm done obsessing over this game. That's the thing. I can play this and get into it for like a month or two, won't you miss your friends. Won't we miss you. The friends will be in the game. I've got Thrall and Jaina.
Speaker 2:It's true. I know who those are because I used to play. I know who those are because I used to play.
Speaker 3:Because you're a nerd like me. And then the last one is I played a game this week called Manifold Gardens which came out ages ago and I never played it but I always wanted to and it was on special. And it's this like weird psychedelic, like 4D game where, what, that's impossible. Don't tell me that it's real, no, there's like repeating see it, we can't even see that I can, I should.
Speaker 3:You should play this game. It's crazy. It's like a real mind-bending game. It's all puzzle, there's no dialogue, you just like run through pickup boxes and put them in different places.
Speaker 2:It's very portal-esque okay, yeah, that's a good game. Should we just talk about games, this whole podcast?
Speaker 1:oh, I could, I don't play games anymore.
Speaker 2:You're talking about games.
Speaker 3:It's like me talking about, uh, music production software on the computer oh yeah, yeah, now people actually like games, though I don't, I don't, I know very few people like music production software. People hate music well, people love music, but I don't think people want to know how the sausage is made oh really.
Speaker 2:What if the sausage is made of uh?
Speaker 3:fish, oh yeah, fish. Why haven't? Why hasn't that become a thing? It is a thing. I'm back into sardines right now. I'm eating so many sardines.
Speaker 2:I can't, I used to, but that was when I was like I, I used to do this crazy diet where, um it was, basically I got it off. There used to be a website called simply shreddedcom and this is when I first started training and, uh, sorry, a bunny just flopped over oh my God, the proper bunny flop, yeah, um, and basically it was a website full of, like I would say, at the time there wasn't a lot known about training and nutrition or nearly as much as there is now, so it was a lot of information that people basically just they would give it their programs and their diet.
Speaker 2:And I went on this crazy diet where it was like could people like vote them up so you had like the most top rated? Yeah, yeah, it was like it was like a blog, right, and it was this guy's diet, where it was like three days you basically ate like really high fat, like crazy amounts of fat, no carbohydrates delicious and then one day of like really high carbohydrates, but it was very specific, like I ate everything that this guy like he listed it out and you were like I'm not going to get the macros from this, I'm getting the actual food.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was so stupid and did sardines feature heavily?
Speaker 2:Sardines were a heavy feature Also. Uh, in the fat yeah.
Speaker 3:On the fat. Oh, I have them on toast though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3:You're fucking up that diet if you're yeah what You're just eating sardines out of a can. That's repulsive and it was like protein shakes.
Speaker 2:But you'd have your protein shake with like full cream and all your coffees were like full cream and stuff. It was actually like well before, keto was like a popular thing. This guy was like kind of I mean, one of the first guys to, this is fun, you should do this. That's repulsive and lots of bison, but like it's very hard to get bison in New Zealand you could get kangaroo.
Speaker 3:I mean not New Zealand.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, they're not. We just eat kiwi birds instead.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they would be absolutely filled with fat, though they're such round creatures. Yeah they are.
Speaker 2:They are very round creatures. Anyway, that diet was terrible. But on the on the high carb days it like said you had to eat a certain amount of grams of like trail mix. But the mix was like so fucking good. It was like basically m&ms and I think it had like cranberries and then pistachios and that was the mix. I was like this is the best trail mix I've ever had yeah, I used to pre-buy when I was in scouts.
Speaker 3:Everyone would have trail mix when you're on a hike. You need it. Scroggan, we called it oh called it.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, scroggin.
Speaker 3:Yeah. But no, scroggin's like the lumps though they're like Not here, they're not. Okay, all right, scroggin's just trail mix. But you could get pre-made trail mix which was filled with shit, yeah, and you would sit there the whole hike. You go on like, and then the next time around you'd be like I'm just gonna buy, I've only got a bag of sultanas.
Speaker 3:I've only got sunflower seeds now, yeah, exactly, I'm just gonna buy a whole bunch of sultanas, a whole bunch of sunflower seeds, a whole bunch of m&ms and like whatever nut you want, like pistachios or whatever. Um, you would just fill your bag with that and you would carry around the most delicious bag of treat you could ever have. There was not a bad handful you could pull out of there I should make trail like why?
Speaker 2:so I'm really interested. I mean, I don't know the history of trail mix, but who decided that it was the best thing, the best idea ever to have nuts and chocolate?
Speaker 3:and fruit. The idea is to keep your blood sugar high because you are like using so much energy doing the hike, you're carrying around a lot more I guess you're moving a lot, like you could eat, like anything else to do the same thing I think it's just something that you can graze out as well. The idea is it has to be like small bitty.
Speaker 2:I guess it's also, it's all like preserved, so it's not going to um deteriorate. Much like uh the in the times of Genghis Khan, the uh the Mongols used to. They would put meat under their saddles and it would dry and go soft and kind of preserve under the saddles as they were riding Wow.
Speaker 3:And sort of half rot as well. Did they not know? The horse under the saddle is made of meat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's what's carrying you around. They probably ate the horse once they'd ridden it for an extended period of time. But yeah, that's why jerky's like a thing.
Speaker 1:I think they kind of pioneered jerky.
Speaker 2:That's cool yeah. But, their jerky would have tasted so bad or good, no.
Speaker 1:Flavoured by horse sweat.
Speaker 3:It's under a horse butt Like it's going to be nah disgusting. Have you ever licked a horse butt? I bet not.
Speaker 2:I haven't no.
Speaker 3:Yeah well, I don't know what authority you're coming with with this bad tasting horse butt.
Speaker 2:There's also some really strange like Mongolian slash, nepalese food. They do a lot of stuff with blood, like blood jelly, blood cubes and all sorts People in the. Uk like blood blood pudding, yeah, but that's fine.
Speaker 3:That's basically sausage. It is, but jelly blood is just jelly.
Speaker 2:I guess if we're going to yeah, you're right, we're going by what I said previously.
Speaker 3:Anyway, yeah, scroggins, we should get more of that. I should carry that round also. M&ms are the perfect thing for scroggan, because they have that for many m&ms.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, but they have the coating so they don't melt over everything else yeah, coding doesn't melt, yeah true genius? Yeah, the perfect little snack. Anywho, scroggan, I haven't played this song for a while. I've been playing this in my spin classes, like as a cool down.
Speaker 3:I don't know if I know it.
Speaker 2:Who knows this? You'll know it 100% Welcome, welcome. Welcome. Episode number 182. 182. Sheesh, I'm here, andrew is here, mikey is sick, he's poorly, he's very poorly. So he here. Mikey is sick, he's poorly, he's very poorly, so he couldn't make it today. We're also recording on a Friday lunchtime, which is very strange, freak behavior. Yeah, I'm sort of awake. I've had an early morning. How are you feeling?

Speaker 2:All right, this is a part you'll know.
Speaker 3:You don't know this, I don't know this. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:Actually you might be too young. Oh, petite little answer. Did you ever God? Actually you might be too young, oh.
Speaker 3:Did you ever watch like?
Speaker 2:Laguna Beach no, okay. So it's like one of many of the songs that they use to like when something sad happened.
Speaker 3:Oh really, it's not bad for a sad song.
Speaker 2:Someone was like upset and was like walking out of where they were filming and then driving off into the sunset because their boyfriend, chad, just like fucked a dog or something.
Speaker 1:They just like Not the dog, Not the dog.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Just any sort of drama. Oh my God, I'm playing the outro song at the same time, Remixed. Yeah, Michelle Branch, she was like.
Speaker 3:I've never heard of Michelle Branch in my life. Okay, wait.
Speaker 2:We have to do one more.
Speaker 3:We've got time today.
Speaker 2:We? Okay, wait, we have to do one more. We've got time today. We've got time. Let's see what her most famous song is. Oh yeah, I'm sure you'll know this. There's heaps of memes about this song.
Speaker 3:Turn it inside out so I can see you. Let's see.
Speaker 2:Let's see what's she talking about.
Speaker 3:I don't know this song. That was great vocals has she?
Speaker 2:done an album recently.
Speaker 3:I'm interested.
Speaker 2:So 2000s rock.
Speaker 3:This song passed me over. This song passed me over. This lady passed me over.
Speaker 2:No, you have to wait for the chorus and then you'll be like, oh yeah, or you'll be like who the hell is this? What are you playing to me? Bring back Michelle Branch. That's what I say. If she comes here, we'll go to the concert.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, Mikey will be keen.
Speaker 2:I'm sure he loves Michelle.
Speaker 3:Branch. Oh, yeah, yeah, small flashbacks, yeah, yes, I know that bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is what Maybe only from memes I'm going to see.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it'll be from the memes. Turn it inside out so I can see. It's like a bit of what's she talking about Exactly and people apply what she might be talking about to that part of the song. Wow, that's quite funny. Yeah, anyway, that's the show. Surely it's a bag. I think the foreskins and like all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you need to check that it's clean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, turn it on and turn it out, so I can see.
Speaker 3:That's actually a good rule that's actually a good rule I'm gonna take that into the bedroom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you should flip it, boy, you should just put the song on.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, we'll see if they get the message. Yeah, yeah, well, I can't believe. I know almost nothing about that woman. All right, she's probably rich, though.
Speaker 2:So I'd say so. I mean, that's got a lot of plays that tune she doesn't know anything about me either?
Speaker 3:no, she doesn't. Well, she does. She might be my biggest fan could be true could be true might be.
Speaker 2:It might be a listener.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, if you're listening. What's your name, michelle?
Speaker 2:uh, write in, let us know um, oh, actually something I was going to talk about. It's like, uh, chloe's been uh, not mad at me, but she keeps telling me that I'm losing lots of weight, and I actually haven't been trying to do lose any weight, but I did last week, at the end of the week, jump on the scales, which is something I haven't done in a very long time and we know is at my worst with my in terms of like struggling with, you know, basically an eating disorder. My worst weight was like 67 kilos and I'm usually hovering around 75 nowadays and I jumped on the scales and I was like just under 70 kilos, whoa. And I was like this is fucked. Has your, has your eating chain? No, nothing's changed. All that's changed is I'm going to a nightclub almost every weekend and dancing for like five hours.
Speaker 3:That would do it. That's five hours of cardio. I have done, do you know that does five hours of cardio and I'm sweating.
Speaker 2:So I think I think that's that that's probably the culprit. Just more, more exercise.
Speaker 3:But is that something that would need to be managed? Surely not. I, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Really. Maybe you just need to eat. Maybe I need to take snacks to the club.
Speaker 3:Scroggins, yeah, oh my God, wow that would be a great positive security would tell you to fuck off If you tried to bring Sc.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I'll bring a tray of cookies and then they could have. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And then under the tray is just drugs yeah.
Speaker 2:They're actually laced. Yeah, knock them out.
Speaker 3:You can go to everyone at the club yeah, there's MDMA laced cookies, yeah.
Speaker 2:But I actually I haven't been getting fucked up at the club, like I haven't been drinking and also spending little to no money because the lovely people, because I've been here so much, the bar staff know who I am and they know I just want a Diet Coke.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's sweet so.
Speaker 2:I'll go to the bar and they'll, just because I mean it's fun.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, that's like Baby Reindeer, what you know that, like comedian that made the thing about the stalker he had. Oh, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, well, she comes in and then never touches it and he was giving it to her for free.
Speaker 3:And then she gets really obsessed with him and, oh yeah, the bus stop. Lady, I've seen like a yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was really horrifying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, maybe, maybe, maybe. I'm obsessed with one of the bastards oh that's exciting I can't remember. We love an obsession get his name the other way.
Speaker 3:Can I say oh, thank you so much for being my coke supplier oh yeah, king coke. Um, anyway, that's interesting. We'll keep us abreast that. Um, oh, do you hear my beard there?
Speaker 2:is that your beard? Don't stop, don't do that now.
Speaker 3:It's asmr, disgusting, disgusting um and keep us abreast that I don't know if anything needs to happen, like if your body's just naturally, I know I don't think it's a problem I think and also, yeah, I'm, I don't want to stop that behavior.
Speaker 2:I really enjoy that. No, yeah, I just think, eat some more food I feel like I have a way healthier relationship with because I'm spending so much time in there with like, and I am trying to be proactive in terms of, you know, talking to people and I have a purpose, not just dancing, but also to like network to other people. And yeah, exactly, um, it doesn really it's not conducive to go to the nightclub and get fucked up anymore.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, also it's expensive, it wastes the next day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, although I am still quite tired, like if I'm getting home at three, four in the morning, like I Sunday's effectively right off, you should um that's probably that'll definitely that'll definitely like that won't add to the weight loss at all.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I've heard, meth makes you really hungry yeah absolutely Well, no you're going to balance it out, then by taking some steroids. You could do some meth and some steroids.
Speaker 2:I don't think steroids make you that much hungrier. It'll make you put on weight quicker. Maybe, yeah, maybe Big thumbs up. I don't do that big thumbs up. It's actually the world's smallest thumbs up. It's the tiniest little thumbs up.
Speaker 3:It's itty bitty. How's your? No vaping going Great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, still chewing gum like a mad bastard I've put the Tic Tacs down and I've picked up more cigarettes.
Speaker 3:Oh no, andrew, it's a balancing act. You know acts. You know governments around the world constantly are trying to balance their budgets and give money to the poor people and also give money to the rich people and get their votes and all that kind of stuff. Me all I'm trying to do is balance vaping against smoking, it's. It's a little scale, very little on the global scheme, but how much wait, how much does it pack cigarettes?
Speaker 3:uh, $50 for 25 cigarettes. Two bucks a cigarette, yeah, but if I'm having like one cigarette a day, that's cheaper than vaping. I guess so, because I was paying 35 for a vape and I'll tell you, I was through that in a week really. Oh yeah, baby, that thing was. I basically pressed that into my lung and then we just breathe normally.
Speaker 2:It's like, are you not just gonna want more cigarettes over time?
Speaker 3:you know, I was telling my mother I saw her on the. I went up to her house and I was like I've given up vaping but I've picked up smoking. And she was like, and I was like I'm just having you know when I switched off it, it's just one a day, one cigarette a day. And she was like, yeah, but how many cigarettes are you?
Speaker 3:one, sometimes two, it will be three soon it's never been three, you know I mean tonight when we go out, it's going to be as many as I can get into my mouth. Oh my god, no, smoking's good for you. It's actually. It's natural, it's. It's of nature, it is not god made the plant.
Speaker 2:He did make the plant, yeah, so maybe you should just do something really old school, like chewing tobacco or something. Oh yeah, that'll this repulsive. What about? Yeah, what about? Um, what's the thing they chew in southeast asia? Betel nut? I've heard that's really not. Yeah, betel nut, it's like a red sort of I think it's a seed, and then they wrap it in a leaf and they chew it, it's very I think it has nicotine or something else and it's super addictive, but it makes your teeth red, sorry oh, these sound awful.
Speaker 3:I'd rather just smell like cigarette smoke all day and all night. That's a thing. The worst is smoking with a beard it clings to the beard.
Speaker 2:And the smell. You can't get rid of it. You should shave.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, bold face. No, I'd look cursed, I actually. Oh my God, someone on Grindr messaged me today and said hi, daddy, I was going to off myself, mate, I'm 31.
Speaker 2:What do you mean, daddy? I mean, it does make you look older.
Speaker 3:I guess in the 60s I would have been like probably of four children in my belt that's true In the closet as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, very much so yeah, yeah, otherwise you would have got tied up and dragged behind a car.
Speaker 3:I was going to put you out. Yeah, exactly, I was going to get thrown on the bonfire. I I was going to ask him why the fuck he called me daddy, but then also I'm a 31 year old guy with a beard, so that's true, but he was like 25.
Speaker 2:I mean, you know, I've got nothing.
Speaker 3:No, me neither. It's sad news.
Speaker 2:Okay, we've got questions, let's play the thing. Question Question Question question question question question question time.
Speaker 3:We're here to answer some questions, because we've already talked a lot of gibberish, a lot of garbage at the beginning of this.
Speaker 2:I mean maybe we should just call this the garbage pail episode it's's just, it's got a bits of episode bits of this and bits of that. That's what's important Bets Do you want the first question.
Speaker 3:I would love it. So this person says I am a 50 year old man looking to improve my cardiovascular health. I've heard that high intensity interval training, or HIIT training, can be beneficial, but I'm worried it might be too intense for me. How can I safely incorporate hit into my fitness regimen? Don't whoa?
Speaker 2:that's a big claim. No, seriously, don't. There's like, if you're worried about it, um, and like I would say I the hit is more effective on, like well-trained individuals, depending on what you're doing, like it can be scaled to what your fitness level is, but if you're, if you're trying, what did he say?
Speaker 3:his goals were, in particular he wants to improve his cardiovascular.
Speaker 2:I mean yeah, it's good for that, but you can also just like do like moderate intensity jogging and that's going to improve your cardiovascular health. Walking is going to improve your cardiovascular health like there's a whole bunch of you don't have to do HIIT training and I also think, like we kind of there was a real phase in the fitness industry where everyone was super obsessed with HIIT stuff and I think it's actually it's not really that anymore.
Speaker 3:I think people were obsessed with it because of the feeling you get on your body, in that you feel like a muscle pump and like a like a soreness that you probably don't get from a run.
Speaker 2:It's more like it's just intensity, so you really guess. Like it's cardio based, so you don't necessarily get a muscle, but again it depends on what you're doing. But, like the, the idea behind it is you work really fucking hard for like a very short amount of time and then you get some rest and then you work really fucking hard.
Speaker 3:Is that what we were doing this week with the two exercises Sam put us through?
Speaker 1:these like gargantuan.
Speaker 3:They were very rewarding, like I have not had the muscle soreness from that I've had from these two workouts. But is that hit no?
Speaker 2:no, you could call it high intensity, but it's not high intensity interval training. Like I'm not giving you an interval, I'm not saying do this for 30 seconds, oh yeah. I see rest for 30 seconds. It was rep that's a little bit different, yeah, but like when they, when you talk about high intensity interval training, you're generally talking about cardiovascular stuff, like I used to teach and I still teach, sometimes a half hour format of a spin class with the whole classes, like that oh yeah, I did that one that do you know?
Speaker 2:did you do the half an hour? Yeah?
Speaker 3:yeah, that, because it was for the taster day. I was sitting at the front of the class in training that's what.
Speaker 2:that's what it feels like actually, if you're a 50 year old individual, doing hit on a bike is probably your safest bet. If you really really yeah, exactly, if you really wanted to do it, I would say that is great. You can also do it on something like a stepper, um, where you just like either like go up a hill and whatever's high intensity for you as high intensity right, so you could just sit like a 30 second time ago. I'm going to work as hard as I can on this like stepper or stairmaster for 30 seconds and then I'm going to rest for 30 seconds. You can go 30 on 30 off. Give yourself the same time. You can even go for longer. You can do 30 on 45 off if you need a little bit longer to rest.
Speaker 3:That's all these rules, that's good, these rules, that's good.
Speaker 2:Well, in the end, it looks like you have given a really nice way for them to incorporate. Yeah, exactly, and but also remember that you do not have to do that like you can actually I like the tip of.
Speaker 3:You can just go for a jog like you don't. You don't need a hit as a buzz to be the thing that gets you better cardiovascular health.
Speaker 2:Exactly I love that there's an answer I have nothing to add to that.
Speaker 3:I don't know the science of how the body works, but what I do know is bless that 50 year old man for writing in and for listening.
Speaker 2:Yeah, wow, I mean, that's an unexpected um. I mean, when I look at our stats, I don't see a many 50 year old man, if I'm honest just the one we see you.
Speaker 3:Hello Uh uh, so the next one. Uh, so the next one is as a vegetarian, I sometimes struggle to get enough protein into my diet.
Speaker 2:Can you recommend some high protein vegetarian foods that can help me in muscle building? Yeah, I can. Actually I, Because you are. You're pescatarian, aren't you? Yeah, I eat lots of fish, so that's but dairy protein. So if you think of things like Cheese, yeah, cheese, Cheese protein. So if you think of things like cheese, cheese has protein. Cottage cheese is one that has, if you like it.
Speaker 3:What is cottage cheese?
Speaker 2:It's basically just curds. How do you milk a cottage?
Speaker 3:I mean, where's the cottage's titty?
Speaker 2:I don't know why it's called cottage cheese.
Speaker 1:We're going to find out why it's called cottage cheese from our intern, svetlana, right here cottage cheese is made by heating whole milk, coagulating or setting the milk into a solid curd, and then gently cooking the set curd until it's soft and bouncy. The story of how it got its name is that it used to be made in farmhouses or cottages where they would have an excess of milk from butter making and would use the extra milk to make the cottage cheese thank you so much, svetlana nice, I love that explanation and now I understand what cottage cheese is wow, amazing, that's so interesting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, uh yeah, cottage cheese is good. Um, what else dairy like you can get? People say legumes and beans and like that kind of thing are good protein shakes guess what?
Speaker 3:vegetarian oh yeah, oh yeah, I used to. I've said this on the podcast. I used to think whey protein was from whales what?
Speaker 2:yeah, you have not said, that, have I not?
Speaker 3:yeah, I was fully convinced that whey protein was from. And so when there was, like you know, that good, that very, that, like rhyme of the, the chick who's sitting on the toad school eating curds and whey, and I was like, where is this? Like rural bitch getting whale blubber I was like that's crazy that she has access to that oh my gosh, god, I would I mean that.
Speaker 2:That's wild, that you thought it was well, so you thought all these like jacked updates were drinking whale.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah I was like, oh my god, and they must be getting it from japan because they're fine like hunting whales over there and a man. There must be a burgeoning industry, because it's like every protein powder is made of whale protein powder would be so rank as well, yeah, how disgusting would that be, thank you um, well, that's hilarious, yeah, so whey protein's another good one.
Speaker 2:Um, like, yeah, beans and stuff, I mean like the easiest one I'm gonna say is whey protein, but also like there's tofu, there's tempeh, there's all these, like there's all these meat options now and people like rag on them because they're like highly processed, like if you're not eating them all the time and you don't see a problem with them, like uh, what's the other one they're doing now? I had one. I've actually been buying them. It's on special. They're called like meat strips or something oh yeah, they're really that sounds disgusting, no, no, but they, they taste really good.
Speaker 2:Um, because, like I do sometimes occasionally miss me and I will, on the other occasion, dabble, this was like a really good substitute.
Speaker 3:This was like it tastes like steak strips to me and it was very, very high in protein and it's like a jerky no, it's like frozen, oh, and you just pop it in the air fryer and it comes out steak, wow yeah.
Speaker 2:And they had a chicken one very spicy. I had that yesterday, very spicy. It was good if I ever go vegetarian, I'll try that, I think actually this is an incredible vegan chinese place, like down that way, which is amazing. What's it called tncs?
Speaker 3:tncs in sydney.
Speaker 2:If you're in sydney and vegetarian, yeah they give you a um, a calendar and a piece of fruit when you do um online pickup. Why, I don't know so you've got a calendar and then you look at your calendar and go, oh yeah, there's that really sick vegan Chinese place. I should go there. That's smart, it's good sales.
Speaker 3:That's what real estate agents do as well.
Speaker 2:But I really missed like sweet and sour pork, and they do a killer vegan sweet and sour pork. What's the meat? Jackfruit? Uh, no, they do the weird like replace meat replacement.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, yeah, but it's like quite convincing, I should open up I reckon I'll open up a vegan restaurant and just use real meats.
Speaker 2:There's a guy on tiktok I was talking about it this last night actually who um he's? He's fucking evil. Actually he's trying to sneak meat into his vegan lifestyle. Oh, that's wretched yeah, and the kids are all in on the joke as well the joke and the kids, oh my god they're evil little kids.
Speaker 2:And he was like my wife thinks I'm making a vegan fries cooked in canola oil and he just has this huge pot of beef tallow that he just cooks your fries that's abuse that is so awful to get the kids on it as well. That's just like bullying and then she'll buy these vegan burgers and he'll like cook theirs and then he'll just chuck a vegan burger in the juice, that's so funny.
Speaker 3:I I pray that this is like a rage bait account and she's in on this yeah, I think it might be like I hope I really do, yeah.
Speaker 2:So yeah, there are some options. Milk's good, like dairy, I think, is probably great. Greek yogurt Dairy is probably good If you can have dairy. If you can't have dairy, then obviously you're going to have to go the other route. Tofu is great.
Speaker 3:Tofu is good. You can just slam it in anything as well. Silken tofu.
Speaker 2:Silk and tofu. Yeah, you can just mix that up in anything, you literally you just make a little broth out of it, chuck it in your shaker and just shake it up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh my.
Speaker 2:God.
Speaker 3:Just eat it with your hand, you animal.
Speaker 2:No, don't talk like that.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't swear. I don't know. How Do you just?
Speaker 2:eat animals, or was okay, cool, sweet, probably a woman, yeah for sure. Oh my gosh, only joking. That's all we have. That's it. We've only picked two because, like the rest of them, they're all ads no dog collars.
