Speaker 2:Stephanie, and we're the owners of a HALA athletics coaching business built on our belief that clients aren't just a dollar sign and they're human. Now on to the episode.
Speaker 1:What's going on everyone and welcome back to Saying it Out Loud Come to you live from another Monday here in San Antonio, texas, and we've had a very eventful morning. Actually, hala decided to make friends with a scorpion and in that same day the friendship ended when she got stung. So Nila's to say they aren't friends anymore. And yeah, her recipe is a little scorpion, but she's doing fine right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah so we're just monitoring her to see if she exhibits any symptoms of venom. But anyways, let's get the cheat day Cheat day. It wasn't that bad okay.
Speaker 2:His cookies are amazing.
Speaker 1:Do we need to say more? Yeah, so we're the Bubba Taco. We had five different tacos. For those that don't know, they're like really customized tacos, kind of like fancy tacos yeah real fancy tacos and the hamburger winning it. Bro, that taco is fire, but I don't know what it is about them not seasoning meat. I don't know, maybe it's me maybe it's not me. I would really like to have someone outside of her opinion to see, because the person that we got the recognition from loves it.
Speaker 2:But she's white, so they don't.
Speaker 1:they're not gonna excuse me, so I don't know. Well, we need somebody else to test this theory.
Speaker 2:Even I think they're not like, we're gonna like it. And then the majoring in spot that was like really devout. It was so very low down, the most disgusting hummus I've ever tried in my life. I wouldn't go that far. It was actually Knowing how to make it.
Speaker 1:it was actually very it's should we start a TikTok, being the worst food critics?
Speaker 2:Oh, you freaking, does that already?
Speaker 1:Who.
Speaker 2:I forgot his name.
Speaker 1:Keith Lee yeah, he doesn't do that, he just does food I'm talking about. Like we barely like anything. We should have people send us food just like 10 out of 10 and see if we actually think it's 10 out of 10. But yeah these lists is say we're done exploring for a while we say that, but then we gotta try to cook your place.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's about it. We already had the pancakes, which weren't as good as like the carrot cake was so far.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but and you like the red velvet one, mm-hmm. Okay, that's two. I didn't even try to confetti one. No, don't even. I don't like fun fettie confetti.
Speaker 2:I love red they can't get anything.
Speaker 1:Any thing with the end of fettie?
Speaker 2:Discussing. Okay, this is just okay. Anyways we're cooking this week.
Speaker 1:The movie was not bad, it was alright. Bed rest, bed rest.
Speaker 2:Again, just like food Horror movies. Jesus, everyone, we follow people and they talk about these scary movies and how they got them f'd up and all this other stuff Other than paranormal activity in cities and country, like it's very hard to find good scary movies out there.
Speaker 1:It depends on what people consider scary. Listen. If you have scary movie recommendations, send my way. And if you even form the word in your mouth hereditary, don't talk to me. Yeah, no, don't don't even Lose this podcast.
Speaker 1:Stop, no, do that, anyways. Anyways, also, last week we had the grand opening of Amriana, the NKT specialist that we go to see in Austin, aka special massages, and it was a good time and there was actually a big turn of people and I brought 45 cookies and they were all gone. She didn't even get one. I thought I'm bigger than whatever she wants, but she's like that's okay, she's too nice, but yeah, they were all gone. The turnout was great. That's some Some good Athletes there who do bodybuilding, some owners from clothing companies, a lot of people. It was a good time. And then we got a freaking massage From another dimension. I don't know if you've ever had a deep tissue massage.
Speaker 1:There's a 10 minute 10 minute chair massage by Ted there's a literally reaching to my soul and did a little bit.
Speaker 1:But I never had my sense gap, the freaking attack like that. My arm is instantly so much looser. That was a good time. I got a massage with him on Sunday, so hopefully he can help me out. Yeah, it was a good time. I'm happy for her dream come true her own clinic. That's freaking fire dude. It's rare that you get to see people achieve their dreams nowadays, because people just aren't pursuing them like they used to. So that's crazy. But I think that was everything.
Speaker 1:Yeah so, looking to this episode and before we do question of the day, what are three things that you think are holding you back in your training nutrition? What you like, I did that.
Speaker 2:What the freak was that?
Speaker 1:that's pretty stupid. Listen what are three things that you think are holding you back in your training? No topic of the day, I think it's a. We're gonna be talking about three things that are holding you back and your training Nutrition.
Speaker 2:I Three things are holding you back, and those three things are yeah, there you go. She said Anyways, let's start with training number one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're gonna start with training number one. Okay, the biggest issue that I see with training is that people aren't training For what they want out of their training. So what do I mean by that? People say they want to build muscle, but then they slowly just focus on Loads and tons of volumes to the point to where it's just full of volume at that point. So that's the biggest thing I see. People don't know how to train specific if we specifically for what they want out of their training. Now we all know that if you want to build muscle, you have to force the body to go through an adaptation. And how do you do that? Well, I'm gonna tell you right now it's not by doing four by 15, because For 10 by 10 or 10 by 10.
Speaker 1:So how do how does this work? People train with loads of volume because it takes that much volume for them to finally get to those struggling reps at the end of their very last set. So if you do Force up to 10. Okay, you're first set, you're gonna breeze through it because the weight is not heavy. If you don't force it to send you the way, it's just not heavy, then second set, you're gonna breeze through it. Third set, you might struggle with the last rep. And the fourth set you must try with the last three reps. So how many Efficient reps that you get for a tour now of you Switch that around and you focus on intensity.
Speaker 1:So, for example, I do two sets, my two sets, the. So I did two sets of eight on 285 last week. My last three reps on my first set, struggling. My last four reps on my last set struggle. So that's seven efficient reps. So it took me to get seven efficient reps in two sets. It took you four sets to get three. So you see the difference in training intensity. So that's why people need to get away from just focusing on volume to accumulate that much intensity when you can just Literally increase the weight, drop the reps and sets, and then you get that intensity. So that's what I think people's biggest problems are is not knowing how to train efficiently, nor do they know what failure feels like, so they can't even gauge their own intensity, if that makes sense yeah.
Speaker 2:Another part of that is proper programming. So, seeing a lot of people do this and I've met a lot of people they got to follow certain ebooks, instagram people ticked off people, whatever it is. There's like so many fits both to have like apps now with workouts and just constantly change it up and stuff like that, and I Feel like a lot of people go through that route because they feel like it's cheaper and they love getting new workouts and all those other stuff and, truthfully, they're just like in an ever-ending battle of never really reaching their goals because of that reason. Because Workouts do have to be specific to one your lifestyle and your body and your goals, but also like where you're at in your life as well, and like in something we're going to talk about. Step three, if there's a functional issue, it has to be dependent on that too.
Speaker 2:A lot of people don't think that that many things go into programming, but it does. On top of that, it has to be edited accordingly To the progress that you're making, what we see on your training videos, etc. So like simply just following Some girls out and you like to work out and whatever Awesome, they're intense. Whatever it's not really gonna do much for you. You might Get some stuff out of it when you're a beginner, but the longer you're in this, I'm showing up to the gym four to six times a week, sometimes seven days a week, and I'm not really seeing results. Like I'm consistent with the gym. I feel like I'm doing cardio. I feel like I'm doing it all and not really seeing results. That's one of the main reasons. Like Programming has to be specific. It's not like one, I'm just gonna do whatever the freak I want to do. And two, it can't just be like I'm just following this app and I'm just gonna do whatever one was programmed for CrossFit. Like that's not really gonna get you far.
Speaker 1:That goes along what I was saying. So what are you training for? And that's the biggest issue, like I talked about in the beginning, is people don't know how to train for what they want. So if you're just following some random Fitzbo's app and her workouts on that app, okay that might not be Getting you to what you want, because she may be doing, you know, combination exercises and all this other crazy stuff.
Speaker 1:But 20 exercises and it's not getting you to the point to where your body needs to adapt. And if you don't know how to do that, then you're just gonna follow along and accumulate all this volume. But at the end of the day, is that enough? Because you can do it through volume as well. Okay, don't get me wrong. If you do it enough volume you will force an adaptation. But are you doing enough volume? Is your training intense enough to get you to that point? And that's why Programming needs to be specific to what you want out of training, because there are time and place for doing any exercise, like four sets of 15. Okay, if you're going to a metabolic phase, there's a time for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Or if it's like a smaller muscle, yeah, if you.
Speaker 1:If you're trying to do nutrition partitioning, if you're trying to get your body to use, feel better, there is a time and place. So it's about what you want out of training. But most people when you think of training, you're thinking of building muscle or strength. They don't know about these other phases. So Focus in on what you want out of training and if you don't know how to get that, that's when you Need to come to the conclusion that you need to hire somebody or do more extensive research on how to get to what you want out of training. Yeah, number two Nutrition. Now it's beating the dead horse at this point, because everybody knows nutrition is the foundation of health. In Training period. There's no getting around that. You need to have your nutrition squared away If you want to look and feel a certain way. That's just. That's the point-blank period. So a lot of people Think if I train for a certain time and do another work, I can eat however I want. I'm gonna be the first one to tell you cannot outwork a bad diet.
Speaker 2:You just can't this video is out there that people try to do that Ever even close people do hours and hours of cardio just to burn off a hamburger.
Speaker 1:Okay so, but you got to think about the other cardio. You just put all that stress on your body. Now you're pushing yourself further into Fatigue and a catabolic state and not recovering from your training so you can get four hours in a gym. Sure, go ahead, bar, you gonna recover from that and be able to ready to go to next day. So was it worth trying to burn off that hamburger? So that's why, when people are all up in arms saying, no, yeah, I'm just gonna eat how my body feels. Okay, you clearly have no goals in the gym. So sure, if you're just doing it for longevity, for health reasons, and you're just working out to work out to stay healthy, by all means do what you want, but you have actual goals and you're trying to achieve a certain physique. You need to be following Macros.
Speaker 2:It's the best performance based there is.
Speaker 1:So don't think that you can't eat however you want in training, because you can, sure, but you're not going to see the results that you want to see. And if you think you can see the results you're going to see, it's going to be a very long time before you see any results.
Speaker 2:That's not only that, but it causes a lot of internal damage that a lot of people don't see, like it builds up over time, which we'll talk in number 30. But I feel like it's just the mental side of people just assume like, oh well, the track is stressful, whatever it is Like. If you're not used to it. At first it might be stressful because it's something new, just like any other new task out there, but it really is super simple and it does become part of your lifestyle and it's something that's. We talked about this. It's something that's important, something your body is still doing, regardless of if you're tracking it or not. And not only is knowing what you're eating is important, like how much you're supposed to be eating and also changing it accordingly, because it's not like you're just going to be set on a specific number of macros, which a lot of people do. They just kind of Google macros calculator and it just follow those macros and that's it, like no, it needs to be changing also. But at the same time, it's a lot of people come to me and they say like, yeah, I'm eating clean. Okay, well, one you can easily be under eating and over eating by eating quote, unquote clean. So that's still something that's important. You still need to know how much you're eating. But also, what is your definition of clean? Because a lot of people come to us following all these fits both and like, yeah, I'm eating clean, but it's like these killer spread is freaking.
Speaker 2:Protein protein, this protein, that protein, protein bars, protein shake, like all these things that, because it has protein, you just assume it's cleaner and then we start noticing like, okay, well, all these other ingredients are not actually as clean as you think it is.
Speaker 2:So they do add up. They do add up to how you're feeling, how you're progressing and the inflammation in your body. So it's something to keep in mind, is something to look out for and, like a lot of my clients, when they had to go through protocol, they started learning how to read ingredients because it's you'd be surprised what's out there ingredient wise and it's a very important tool, like for us. We notice it and we always do it and it doesn't really take stress out of our day to read the ingredients Because it's part of our lifestyle. So, like, even if you're stressing about it, I get it. I understand it could be like an extra step when you're not used to it, but it's honestly gonna be part of your lifestyle. It's gonna be super easy and it's gonna help you a lot understanding what the freak you're putting in your mouth and understanding how your body responds to that too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's one of these things I've been thinking about lately is you don't need to believe in a cause, like you don't need to believe in the fact that we are low talks and that we believe that the chemicals in food are destroying our bodies Like you don't need to believe in that in order for it to be true. So just because you don't believe in it doesn't mean that-.
Speaker 1:It's not gonna affect your body, yeah, an eagle would eat something with high fructose corn syrup and it's not affecting you. Yeah, it can still be affecting you, but just because you don't believe in it, it's not. Yeah, so just keep it in mind and have an open mind when it comes to things like that, because it's not that we're trying to sway you from doing things your way. We just want you to try our way or try and scare you or try to scare you.
Speaker 1:We just want you to try our way and see if it helps you. And that's the whole point of our coaching is to help you. And if our way is helping you, then think about trying our way for a while and if it doesn't work for you, then you can go back to your way. There's no I gotta convert. We're gonna convert them to macro trappers or no. Just try our way while you're under our coaching and if it gets you to your goals and that's only for everybody then you can either keep our way or you can go back to your way.
Speaker 1:But, as she was saying, I didn't think. I think the biggest issue for a lot of people is that they don't know how much they should be eating, and I think that's the number one thing that gets a lot of people with trouble is because a lot of people nowadays especially want to lose weight, but they don't know how to get to their maintenance calories, nor do they understand how to actually be in a deficit correctly without hurting themselves.
Speaker 2:Because how do I know how much they're actually consuming?
Speaker 1:Yeah, nor do they track how much they're consuming daily. So there's a lot of factors that go into losing weight and when you think about it, it's simple. You need to find your maintenance calories and then you need to eat it that for a while and then you can easily get into a small deficit and do that over time when you lose weight.
Speaker 2:And also with nutrition. Weekends are not free for us. The calories count. They add up to your daily calories. So you could be eating say, for example, it's a low number, 1,500 calories for a female, which is a low number on the week, and then you're eating like 2,200 or whatever it is, during the weekend, every day of the weekend. That still adds up to your 1500. So overall you're not going to be in a quote unquote deficit and it's still going to add up to why you're getting by fat while you're getting weight, even though you're quote unquote being perfect during the week. So it's something you have to keep in mind.
Speaker 1:It's not a free for all during the weekend yeah, what you, what you guys, are understanding is your body is keeping track of every day even if you aren't mentally.
Speaker 1:If you think you're mentally outsmarting your body, you're not because your body is going to do what it needs to do, but that energy you just gave it. Yeah. And if you are not in the deficit anymore, then your body is not in the deficit anymore. Because your body is not in the deficit anymore, yeah. So don't don't mentally stress about it. Your body is doing all of the hard work for you. All you have to do is make sure that you're averaging out the amount of calories you need to eat throughout the week. That's it. But if you need more help on that, then you already know we'll get to that at the end of the show. So so number three functional method functionalism yeah, functionalism
Speaker 2:we're changing it to that now you can say one, one, two one, okay, one two one one, two, one combo.
Speaker 1:So number three and this is the one that's uh, people seem to snarl a lot lately, even though it's a growing and, like I said, how people don't want to have open mind about what we believe in. This is the same case functional medicine, so the hormones and the gut health. This plays a huge role in the overall composition of your body, because there's a lot, a lot of moving parts that take place in your body that just a lot of people just don't have any idea what's actually. Even us studying it and having a mentor, we still don't know everything that takes place and we're learning new things every single week about the body, even our mentor doesn't know anything, it's just our body's intricate, and that's why you have to learn daily and.
Speaker 1:But we're constantly trying to learn new things because we want to make sure that we can help you guys as much as possible. So, with the functional medicine piece and, like I was saying, a lot of people just don't know what's going on in their body. So when we, when they, when I'm doing a coaching, it can be a bit overwhelming when we're telling them about certain specific things. For a, for example, insulin resistance. That's a big one mainstream. A lot of people understand of the term insulin resistance, but a lot of people don't know the actual functionality of why insulin is even important.
Speaker 1:So that's one of the things that we go over with our clients, because of a lot of our clients are suffering with insulin resistance. Well, what does insulin resistance lead to? It leads to weight loss resistance.
Speaker 1:So when people are doing hours, hours, hours in the gym and they're like I'm in the deficit of whatnot, it's like, okay, you're having some issues because your body is not letting go of that weight for a reason yeah and that's when the hormone is coming to play, because insulin is a hormone and, yes, thermodynamics the laws of thermodynamics are ultimately going to be the end goal here, but we need to get your body into a state to allow that equation to actually work, play its part, yeah and so I'm going to let the hormone answer talk about that so most of my clients women specifically, but I see this in men too like if you've been working out two plus years, whatever it is, and on average someone has done a calorie deficit.
Speaker 2:A lot of people don't know how to diet, only do nutrition correctly whatsoever.
Speaker 2:So they're going to diet and then like that's it, like they end the diet and they go back to the normal lifestyle or they start working out and they're doing all these classes across it, all all this other stuff, because that's what they see someone is doing, that's what they they've been recommended or that's what their coach is having them do or whatever.
Speaker 2:A lot of people do not understand or they don't think about all the things that those workouts and those nutrition guidelines are truly influencing in your body, because we don't see it and that's the hardest part with functional medicine is that within the health and fitness world, ultimately people are focused on like your performance, how you're looking, scale, weight, etc. But if your internal health is not like in line and it's not healthy, none of that will matter. You can try to kill yourself as much as possible at the gym and your body is going to get to a point that you're going to be like listen, I'm not responding whatsoever, like you can keep adding hours at the gym, you can keep dropping calories. I'm not going to budge whatsoever. And that's the hardest and the most frustrating part, especially for females. Men, kind of like, bounce back quicker once we heal them. Women, it takes them a lot longer because our bodies do rely so much more on hormones.
Speaker 1:And because they're either more than 10 F chronically died in their entire life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know I felt like super high stress and all the other you know life stuff, but and all that adds up. So, hormone wise, like even if you're having a period normally and you might not be experiencing crazy symptoms, does not mean that you might not actually have a functional issue. Same with that Even if you're not constantly bloating or if you're going to a bathroom daily might not actually mean that you don't have a good health issue. There's people that have like hourly, like open symptoms and some people are like slowly building up to that. And that's what we do lab work. We see everything that's going on. It's not going to lie whatsoever, even though you're not feeling it. It's not going to lie. And that's super important because if we can catch things early, even better.
Speaker 2:Most of the times not the case, and it's sad but it takes a while and it's something that we need to focus on. And that's when I said, like when we were talking about nutrition and when we're talking about training, those things have to be specific to whatever phase we're going to go through, on whatever healing process we have to go through, because you can't just expect to be doing the same work as you've been doing for a while. You can't expect to be doing the same nutrition that you've been doing for a while. That has led you to this point and think that taking all these supplements and doing all this other stuff for protocol is going to help you. It's a hard thing, but it's very important to understand that.
Speaker 2:Like all these things do influence why you're not looking the way that you want to look, why you're not getting the results that you want to look, and I feel like a lot of people don't focus on that, like they just think it was just work on nutrition, physiologies, physiologies going to respond, no matter how much you want it to be, and not whether you love CrossFit or not. If your body can't handle it anymore, what are you going to do? Like fight your body, hate your body for the rest of your life just because CrossFit is something you love. Like I don't feel like that's worth it to me whatsoever because the inflammation adds up. You have joy, pain constantly. You have low, low energy all the day. Like your body is just feeling terrible and then you're, just just because you love CrossFit, that's what you're going to do. Like you need to be realistic of where your body is at, what it's going to respond to and when you can go back to, and not as well.
Speaker 1:Just to touch on the CrossFit point, I think a lot of people see the CrossFit athletes the ones that do the CrossFit games, and they're killing it. They look like this, they look like that. Yeah, they look good, they look like that, they look a certain way, but it doesn't mean that they're not feeling the same thing that you're feeling. Just because they're not saying it doesn't mean they are feeling it, because everybody's body is different. You don't know what they've gone through. You don't know how many times they've died it. You don't know if they died it at all. You don't know if they've been consistent. You don't know anything. You don't know how stressed our life is. You don't know what they're taking. You don't know anything about their life. So to even think about comparing where you're at and your journey to theirs is just something you shouldn't do, and that's why a lot of people get in their head and get in their own way Like well, why can someone say they're doing it, but I can't, because your body is not there. You're just not there.
Speaker 1:So you need to take the time to get there and then, even when you get there, you still won't be on there there, if that makes sense.
Speaker 2:So stop comparing yourself to somebody else.
Speaker 1:That's only doing you a disservice. You need to focus on your maximum potential. Your body is capable of doing it. And then if you want to be the person who wants to get help and you know, because you're tired of having these headaches, this chronic fatigue, low energy all day, no libido, your freaking joints hurt and you're tired of all that then you need to have an open mind when we're trying to help you with your problems and we're meeting you where you're at in your life. Because unfortunately, not everybody is ready for this journey. They can't mentally do it.
Speaker 1:It is difficult, depending on the protocol. Leave sometimes three months, six months. You have to change your whole, entire lifestyle in order to fix your body, to get you to a point where you can be happy in your body again. That's just the necessary sacrifice that you're going to have to make, and some people cannot handle it. So if you can't handle the protocol, you're not doing yourself any more of a service trying to be somebody else, because where they're at, you're just not there. And if you can't handle the protocol, you can't expect to get there if your body isn't healthy, that's just, that's it. That's the end of the story right there. So you need to focus on your health, your life and what you want out of it, not what everybody else is doing. Okay, so that's that part. No, don't do CrossFit. Anyway, I did CrossFit, I tried it 2014. Let me tell you, not a fan. It's just too much for me. I just like training. But that's me. What was I going to say?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, we're talking about hormones and mental health.
Speaker 1:We don't have anything else to do, yeah no, I have something to say before I send a CrossFit piece.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're talking about same results functional medecinois hormones yeah, yeah, we need really talking about them, or so. What do you mean? What do you want to add?
Speaker 1:Well, what I want to say is. What I want to say is this is you have your training, you have your nutrition and then you've got the third piece that a lot of people don't even realize is the functional medicine side of the hormones and then gut health. Okay, so I want you guys, for a second, to think about this when you experience a headache, how does that happen? Like, where do you think it comes from? Because a lot of people want to try so hard to be resistant to functional medicine and just say it's some pseudoscience, some moogoo, freaking boogeyman fairy tale. Okay, so where do headaches come from? If you can't answer that, then you need to open your mind up, because they come from somewhere. It's a signal that your body is sending you and telling you that something is wrong. So it's a symptom. A lot of times prior to a more door to the time, it's people who are dehydrated.
Speaker 1:Okay, and you're like well, I drink water. I'm tired of hearing people say that, yeah, you drink plain water, so you're literally exacerbating the problem and you're probably not drinking enough water, because a lot of people drink water but they don't take into account their activity throughout the day. Do you replenish the water you lose through working out? You replenish the water you lose from going on your walks? Do you just drink enough water in general? Probably not. So what happens? You get a headache. So that's just. That's just. That's a minor cog in the wheel of a greater scheme. Think about what happens if you're deficient in multiple nutrients and minerals. How do you think people develop autoimmune diseases? You think they just come out of nowhere. Like I'm being serious. Like how do you think people get disease?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It happens internally.
Speaker 2:Too much information from food, from training, from stress.
Speaker 1:So when we're telling you all this stuff, it's for a reason. This stuff doesn't just happen randomly to people. This has been years in the making of their lifestyle. It's like a ticking time bomb. Eventually your body's not going to be able to sustain what it's doing, Because if you're deficient in different vitamins and minerals, your body's pulling it from other places in the body to maintain its balance. And if you're never replenishing that, eventually you're not going to have anymore and we don't have anymore. That leads way for freaking disease.
Speaker 1:So just take it serious when we're talking about the functional medicine side. Just keep an open mind. We're not trying to sell you. We don't sell anything, so we're not. We're separate coaching. We're not trying to sell you a product, so we're not here for that. We just want people to understand that there is a different way to approach your health other than just going to the doctor. That's what I was going to talk about Going to the doctor. So a lot of people say I'll just go to the doctor, or they'll tell you go to the doctor, Okay, cool. How many times have you been to the doctor for the same recurrent issue? Probably a lot.
Speaker 2:We'll talk in the headaches. How many times have you been to the doctor for?
Speaker 1:migraines? Probably a lot. Have they fixed that problem? Or they just give you medicine. It is medicate you because they're not just in the root cause and, like I just talked about, a migraine is your body sign telling you hey, there's something wrong internally that needs to be addressed. They give you a medication that suppresses the issue that's going on in your body. That doesn't fix it. But I digress. Just think about that.
Speaker 1:There's a different way and all I'm saying is be open minded to a different way and try a different way. You should. You should want to try as many ways as possible that lead you to the goal that you want. And this way doesn't work? Okay, I'll try something else. This way doesn't work Okay, let me try something else. But you can't just keep trying one way that's not working. It's not giving you any results. Yeah, but I'll end with that.
