Yeah, not today, not yet. It's right over here. Homie in that region. All right, not so much over here, but over here. Why am I distracted? I know.
Speaker 2:What are you looking at? I don't know. This will help you focus, I know, oh shit dude, you're not focusing very well for that. I don't know. I'm not sold yet.
Speaker 1:Give it a minute. So happy June. We're into June, baby, I know.
Speaker 2:Can you believe that?
Speaker 1:Six months in the year already. Like we're halfway through the year after this month. It's insane how fast things are going, incredible. And we got big, big, big, big announcements today. Exciting stuff, exciting. So I'm so stoked Can't even wait. Agreed, how was your week, aaron? Let's talk about a little biz our team. I know that Jen had a closing Yep, jen had a closing. Congratulations first with our team, nice job and it was a fatty. It was good job, yeah, and over 900 grand for a first solo deal and Gabe's got. Gabe's got a couple on the books right now and we've we've added a new gentleman to our team.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Mr Jet. We had a training Monday and Tuesday. Had a training Monday and Tuesday that was very successful over at Remax.
Speaker 2:Stratus.
Speaker 1:And over there with Ernad and Rene and man, they've got a beautiful office. They do Killer office right. They're on Vine and uh van winkle. So thank you guys so much for letting us come in and and uh teach you change that angle, it makes me look chubby, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1:I was just worried about that a while ago. Aaron, suck in buddy. So anyways, yeah, the training was successful and we're actually going to do our first coaching class today. That's right On that. And we've got all of our other coaching classes, guys, I mean, we literally right now have about 30 to 35 people in our coaching system. In this short little period of time when we're doing these trainings, we do the training for free and then we offer a coaching if they want us to help them build out their system. It's basically just to bring you up to speed, stephanie we train them for two days days and then, if they enter our coaching, our coaching is a 12-week coaching system and by the time they get done with that coaching, they have a legitimate, awesome business that is set up and ready to roll and will serve them for the rest of their career. It's actually really amazing. Something dropped and it says Aaron's waiting to go live. Why is Aaron waiting to go live? I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's not on mine.
Speaker 1:I know, but it was a drop from Facebook. Well, I don't know what you want me to do, no, no, let's don't screw with it, because I know we're live. So the other night we actually sat around the counter and actually talked about what it actually is. So you just heard how we are actually putting out our system. But that's so. The that's right. He told me that he had told you guys a lot about it and you guys were well, what I thought, no, what I thought was fun, and I don't know if you noticed this. I ran into three of them throughout the night. And then the and then the, the chef that came and sat with us. He talked about it.
Speaker 2:That's awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he called me. He goes, he's my family. It was cool because that's what we're doing. He's a transplant. He knows our assistant's boyfriend and otherwise. I mean he's got friends because of his business crowd, just work environment, but he doesn't have a social outlet or social crowd. He doesn't have family here. He doesn't have anybody looking for him? Yeah, he came here from Florida, right, right, yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, it's so needed because men are so competitive and a lot of times there's not a lot of room for that connectivity.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:So it's really cool what you guys are doing yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, thank you. Well, it's definitely needed in the real estate industry for agents, because the fact of the matter is and we've talked about this in the past 87% of agents have not done a deal in the last 18 months.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:Yep 87% Nationally.
Speaker 2:Nationally.
Speaker 1:So these are people. They I, they mean people have different careers, they have other things they're doing. Well, there's a lot, but there's a lot of them that just can't figure it out. Yeah, well, even like John was saying, you know at the brokerage that that they've got 400 agents and a hundred and something of them are struggling. Yeah, so just trust me, it's needed out there where people need.
Speaker 1:Because the issue is, steph, is that a lot of agents? They just go into this with no game plan. They have no idea how they're going to go get their business and they're just shooting from the hip and they don't have a business plan in place. They don't treat their business like it's a business. They just shoot from the hip and hope that they'll run into a deal here or there, and they don't have a business plan in place. They don't treat their business like it's a business. They just shoot from the hip and hope that they'll run into a deal here or there and they think, if they throw enough shit out on social media, that magically they're going to start getting deal after deal after deal. And that is just not how it happens. No, so we have pulled the trigger on the national side of this have pulled the trigger.
Speaker 1:On the national side of this, we've got, basically, coaches in a company that we've hired to help us put together some programs that we can put out. We've got a second company that we're going to tie ourselves to that's going to give us a different way that we're going to do it and then we're going to start in starting in July. Right now we're just doing it all locally because we wanted to work out all the bugs and you know, all that kind of fun stuff. Plus, it was easier. I like coaching and and and doing our, our, our, our uh trainings in person, even though we put them on zoom. But the bottom line is starting in July we're going to start picking a city outside of Utah and we're going to promote for the entire month and just bring as many people as we can through social media ads, through us physically calling brokers, through guys on our team helping us to go out, and we're going to start doing every single month. We're going to have a training in a different city so that we can multifaceted, so that we can make agents better with our training. If they choose to opt into our coaching, we can get them into our coaching. If they choose to join our team, they can join our team and then they get us 100% all the time and big announcement.
Speaker 1:Should we drop it right now? Sure, so, guys, we are moving brokerages. We are leaving Century 21 and love these guys. They've been great. It's been great to have our license here, but this will actually be our last episode from here at C21 in our studio. Here we're moving. We're going over to Rill Brokerage, which is for those of you out there that aren't familiar with Rill. Rill is a virtual brokerage. They don't have brick and mortar and they do this on purpose, because they have a whole section of their business where you can actually any agent can go out and recruit other agents to that brokerage and they get paid to do that, which is really cool. Part of their ongoing business is they. They, because they were part of them coming over. They get a piece of whatever's brought in. Essentially, that's awesome.
Speaker 2:Isn't that cool.
Speaker 1:That's really cool. So there's another revenue stream for them, which is, I mean, let's face it, it's not easy being an agent, and any way that you can go out and actually make money, it's totally worth it. Yeah, it's great. And so we're making the big move over to Real and I've actually already pulled the trigger. Aaron's got it today and our team's coming over with us and we're going to start pouncing on and offering basically for agents all over the United States to join the luxury agency team Kind of cool, huh, the big picture of going out to individual cities, like that is the system we teach. We're going to go put in basically a pod in the area, so we're going to teach them all the different facets of it, but a mixer.
Speaker 1:We're going to have a branch, basically, yeah, so our goal is to be able to start placing and then allowing a recruiting space, and then our support is going to be the virtual support where they can tap in through Zoom and through that consistent message, basically help them build their businesses, right, yeah, so we'll meet with our team now every week on Zoom, which is cool, and every morning actually, because we meet with our team every morning at 9 am and read, and so we can do nationwide now with our whole entire team, and it's always something really positive and we're very vocal as we're reading and actually take the message that we're reading for that day and really talk about how you can implement it into your everyday life.
Speaker 1:So it's pretty cool stuff. She does a little bit of this. You're, you're, you travel and go to different conventions and different, right, I mean, you're out putting out your product. So so Wednesday we have a I have a pretty cool little social group. We get together quite often and that's how I met stuff and come to find out she's got a business, she's got a business and the business is Life Cider.
Speaker 2:Show it to the camera.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'd love to have you kind of express, but these are in. Harman's guys. I waited to open mine. I wanted to do it on air.
Speaker 2:You know what, before you do, give it a little turn.
Speaker 1:Give it a little, turn Open another one, it's organic. All the organics go to the bottom.
Speaker 2:Yes, you just want to give it a little twist.
Speaker 1:All right, I'm going to open another one. Do it, I'm twisting, oh shit.
Speaker 2:Erin's going to be, take one, it's good, oh, but there's no caffeine in this right.
Speaker 1:Tell us yeah.
Speaker 2:Talk to us about it. Take the mic and tell us about it.
Speaker 1:There's sort of caffeine.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so there's so many cool things about this beverage. Like I said, it's organic. I mean, if you look at the label, there's like six ingredients and they're all organic. I mean it's the cleanest, healthiest energy drink on the planet.
Speaker 1:Am I done, you're done Once, it's good.
Speaker 2:The second thing that's cool is that there's a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in every single can, so in addition to just having really clean energy, you get that gut health benefit as well.
Speaker 1:Oh, I thought it was loaded.
Speaker 2:No, so it's got.
Speaker 1:This is unleaded.
Speaker 2:It's not caffeinated, but it does have energy. It doesn't have alcohol. I was like, when I thought cider, that's what I said. I thought this was loaded. Oh no, I thought it was good stuff.
Speaker 1:I think this would pair incredibly. It does make an incredible mixture. Well, you just lost me. Oh, actually, no, I'll get to that, I can just add to it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it makes an incredible mixture. One because it masks the alcohol you can't taste it at all and two, it actually helps prevent hangovers. So this is such a multifaceted drink and why it's cool.
Speaker 1:I'm just going to report I still had a hangover and then you didn't drink enough.
Speaker 2:Are you drank?
Speaker 1:too much alcohol. You're supposed to use it as a mixer.
Speaker 2:You weren't mixing it, you were making something else. That's true.
Speaker 1:Okay, so, okay. So we tell you why half-assed. Well, at least not that, not that correction.
Speaker 2:So, when you drink caffeine, it splits into three things in your body and your body has to metabolize it. 60% of the population is a slow metabolizer of caffeine, so which means 12 hours later, up to 36 hours later, you're still metabolizing it.
Speaker 1:No kidding.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so when you take it in, your body splits it into three things. Parazanthine is 80% of that. That's what's in here, parazanthine. The other 20% is theophylline and theobromine, and that's what causes the jitters, the shakes, the crash, the anxiety, the gut problems. So we got rid of all of that, and only isolated, all the nasty shit. Yeah, so it's the. I like to tell people it's kind of like a vibe right. Right Instead of like the energy from caffeine, where you're just like kind of like a crackhead.
Speaker 1:This is more like just fine, it's your smooth. It's so smooth, your smooth operator.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:And we've put nootropics in here. So we've got a gram of tyrosine, a gram of taurine and 150 milligrams of alpha-3-B-C.
Speaker 2:So that's supposed to make you brighter, so you're focused, you're clear, you're dialed in. It's got thermogenic benefits, so you're burning 150 calories just drinking this.
Speaker 1:It's hot in here. It's hot in here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but you literally burn 150 calories just drinking the can Holy cow calories just drinking the can holy cow. This stuff is incredible. Use it as a pre-workout, and what's cool about parazanthine is it hits your body in 15 minutes and it's gone in four hours. So you can drink this at eight o'clock at night, go to the gym and sleep like a baby it's gone.
Speaker 1:So yeah, this is so so incredible for so many reasons. I get to take some of those home to my wife. She brought them for me hey fucker we can share. There's plenty where that came from you're gonna see two dudes, bearded dudes, going at it here in a second. Sit your fat ass on me.
Speaker 2:Yep, yep good luck holding me down, dude I know I fight dirt.
Speaker 1:You know what's cool about it? It's fat ass on me. Oh God, yep, yep, yep. Oh, that's funny. Good luck holding me down, dude. I know I fight dirt. You know what's cool about it? It's actually good, it is great. I was going to say it's really good.
Speaker 2:People think when you say apple cider vinegar, it's going to be gross.
Speaker 1:I actually like that part.
Speaker 2:You can't really taste it. I can. I know what.
Speaker 1:I'm tasting, so I know it and I actually enjoy that. Yeah, but I mean vinegar's good for you.
Speaker 2:That's an old wives' tale that vinegar is like.
Speaker 1:It helps your heart burn. It helps all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2:Well, that's actually how the company started. My business partner, jp, like over a decade ago, was overweight. He had really bad acid reflux and his grandma said start drinking apple cider vinegar. So we started drinking. It tasted terrible. So he's like I'm gonna make this better. So he put some lemon juice in it, some honey in it, and at the time he was a restaurateur, so he started playing with flavors and then he came up with what's our original life cider now, which is a different version of this without that's what's in harman's right.
Speaker 1:That's what's in harman's.
Speaker 2:This will be in harman's in sept. This has only been in cans for 15 weeks, you guys. And we've already sold out of our first run and we're on our second run.
Speaker 1:Doing it all here locally.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's made here in Salt Lake City. So when we sent the original product down to, we have a whole bunch of investors in the NFL, current linemen in the NFL, and one of the boys was like what's the medicine in this? It in the NFL. And one of the boys was like what's the medicine in this? It like fixed my heartburn. And there's like there's no medicine, it's just the apple cider vinegar. And they're like well, can you put energy in this? Like we love this so much Cause they they eat like 12 to 15,000 calories a day these boys are big and they eat so much and every one of them have freaking acid reflux.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so they're all drinking it, you know, because it's helping them. And then they said can we put energy in it? And we said absolutely so. We worked with Sean Wells, who is one of the world's foremost authorities on supplementation. He speaks all over the world about supplements. He's got 30 patents. I mean, this guy is he's the guy. Yeah, he actually is the patent owner on the Parazanthine.
Speaker 1:Oh, very cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so he helped us develop this and we said we just made like 25 000 cans and we just sent it to all of our nfl teams and they freaked out one of them.
Speaker 1:So, like all the teams, or just no, you said our boys, our investors that we have oh, okay um, and one of them said he's like you guys, like I.
Speaker 2:When I line up across a guy from me on the field, I can see into his soul. Of across a guy from me on the field, I can see into his soul. He's not kidding, yeah. And then we have a golfer and he, he's like I, can see the dimples on the ball as it's flying away holy when I say it's dial, you are dialed in, I'm not their unique focus is extra focused.
Speaker 1:Right, that's cool yeah so.
Speaker 2:So joe rogan's alpha brain has 100 milligrams of alpha gpc. We've got 100 I take that so there's 150 milligrams in each can here, so it is really incredible really so.
Speaker 1:One one in the morning, because I take my alpha brain and I take my moon juice. Are you familiar with moon juice, the brain dust? No, look it up, it's good. It's got a lot of good, good stuff in it. It tastes like.
Speaker 2:Is that what?
Speaker 1:the hell you would take in dude there's not like. Moon juice, baby Moon juice I mean nootropics will change your life. I have ADHD.
Speaker 2:I've been in menopause for years.
Speaker 1:Isn't that fun?
Speaker 2:No, it's not fun. Don't gaslight me, sorry.
Speaker 1:I know it's not fun for my wife.
Speaker 2:No. So if I spent five years in a brain fog and just so frustrated and with my job, I had to be on and that thyroid medicine is expensive. Oh yeah, so this has changed my life. I feel like I got my life back. Cool, good yeah, it's really cool.
Speaker 1:And that's cool that you guys are connected. I believe in a product that well, that's cool. It's cool that you guys are connected with some NFL players, so with some you know, nfl players, and just so, what's your, what's your big?
Speaker 2:goals. I mean obviously nationwide distribution would be. But yep, we'll be. How do you?
Speaker 1:accomplish something like that. It can't be easy.
Speaker 2:They're coming to us honestly. Well, we've been doing it with our original version for a couple years now and so we're in. I don't know 1200 doors across the us with that product, but people are coming to us asking for this vitamin. Vitamin Shop will be in all nationwide in August. Sprouts will be nationwide in September. Walmart is picking us up in September.
Speaker 1:Every wellness center ought to have it in their little cooler. How do you distribute it to that?
Speaker 2:So the two different drinks are kind of different channels of distribution. So this one is what we call DSD, which we usually direct to the distributor, whereas the other one has. We usually have brokers in the middle. So, yeah, we're just going direct to these distributors. We have a sales team out of the Southeast and they're just opening doors for us left and right.
Speaker 1:Now remind me what the other product is that you said.
Speaker 2:It's also called Life Cider. This is Life Cider X big X on there. X is for parazanthine, you know, because there's an X in there. So we're trying to play up on that.
Speaker 1:So yeah it's just regular life cider. Okay, got it.
Speaker 2:And that's everywhere. It just doesn't have the energy.
Speaker 1:It just doesn't have the energy, but it still has the heartburn, the brain.
Speaker 2:Well, it doesn't have that, so we have a different stack of vitamins in that one, so it's more of a immune support, Big yep Got it, whereas this one's more focus and energy.
Speaker 1:It's funny, I end up drinking one of the other ones and not knowing.
Speaker 2:I can see your pores. Just kidding, you're feeling it.
Speaker 1:Anyway, I just think it's funny that I found it uniquely, I mean organically, before understanding that's what you're doing, yeah, which is cool. That's good stuff. That's always cool. It is cool. We love natural organic networking. Love it, yeah, love it.
Speaker 2:I think people are waking up to what's in our food, the things we put in our bodies.
Speaker 1:Especially with Kennedy in there talking about all this crazy shit that in my opinion, needed to be changed. Is a tablespoon and a half enough to get the desired or necessary.
Speaker 2:Well, it's one tablespoon. So yeah, one tablespoon in every can, but yeah, basically you want to have a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before each meal.
Speaker 1:I just wonder how much you could amp it a little bit. No, that's it. That's all you need.
Speaker 2:T a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before each meal. Dr Justin Marchegiani, that's it. That's all you need. A tablespoon before each meal, even if you just did it at home. But you want to water it down 10 to 1, because if you just take the vinegar straight, it hurts your teeth and it hurts esophagus and stomach lining so you want to water it down 10 to 1, but a tablespoon before every meal will change your whole life like your gut health, your blood sugar regulation, um all of that metabolism like it's a it's a really horrible
Speaker 1:horrible heart just so you know, when I told him yesterday, when I told him we were coming on, I told him what it was. He goes tell her bring, bring some in, because by heartburn, that was his first statement so.
Speaker 2:So there's two, two reasons people get heartburn. One is hypochloridria and the other is hyperchloridria. So either I have too much acid or you have too little. Right If this works for you. You don't have enough.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:And that's most people, like 80% of people have the not enough and this helps them.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:If you're 20% of people that you're like, this didn't help me at all. You have too much.
Speaker 1:And you know how. I know that that that's what it is is. I don't have enough.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's because I had a colonoscopy last Friday. He keeps talking about it. You don't want to know could be last Friday. He keeps talking about like I can't wait till you're trying to decide if it was enjoyable or not the way he keeps talking. I was freaking out.
Speaker 1:So anyway, anyways you know how you have to purge your whole, entire freaking body. Ever since last Friday, no matter what, no matter what I take, no matter what I do, I have had the freaking, worst heartburn because I flushed my system out, which means I don't have enough. No, you don't have it. So yeah, that's how I know.
Speaker 2:I would try that I would do, just a tablespoon for each meal.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'll get you a bunch of the original version and you can try that. But yeah, that's, it's a game changer, that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a game changer. That's very cool. It's really helping people and I love that you're local.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you know, locally made products are always fun to promote.
Speaker 1:Thank you.
Speaker 2:But we're, you know, moving into Mexico. I mean, diabetes is such a problem there.
Speaker 1:Oh is it.
Speaker 2:Coca-Cola is the largest market for Coca-Cola on the planet. Our friend and broker there he's like yeah, people wake up. They have Coke for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Speaker 1:And he's like Coke got them all hooked on. It Sounds like me when I was 13.
Speaker 2:So apple cider vinegar actually helps with that right Like it helps with the diabetes regulation because it actually makes you. It affects your insulin sensitivity. So, yeah, we're hitting obesity. We're hitting, you know, everything, everything yeah.
Speaker 1:so yeah, we're trying, we're hitting obesity.
Speaker 2:We're hitting you know everything, everything. Yeah, we really want to, I mean yeah, we want to you know make a bunch of money and you know whatever, but we care about you deserve that. It's a great product yeah, but the goal is ultimately to help people, right? The whole reason we're doing this is to to offer something to the marketplace that is just not available. I mean, there's healthier for you sodas out there, but most of them are garbage I don't drink soda.
Speaker 1:I used to say I don't drink soda unless there's whiskey in it, but I don't even drink it in whiskey anymore, to be honest with you. Yeah, you're just on the rocks.
Speaker 2:I'm just on the rocks and have it.
Speaker 1:I, I, I hate soda it's. I don't like how it makes me feel. I don't like the taste of it. I don't like the taste it leaves in my mouth after I drink it. It's just, it's interesting. You let yourself get just a little bit away from stuff and how easy it is well and then you can actually perceive what is going to do? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true do you do that on a regular basis?
Speaker 1:yep, process of elimination I I've just it says. It's interesting the things that I've allowed some space with in my life in the last couple years and just realizing whoa, that doesn't feel good right, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, I mean, I'm gonna be honest, even alcohol right, that's why I prefer, that's why I prefer the other thing that's why I prefer the other thing.
Speaker 1:But it's because what's the other thing, aaron? What are you talking about? Aaron, little Mary Jane, I was gonna sing that Little Mary Jane. I was going to sing that song, mary Jane, but I can't remember Little Mountain Grass. No, but it's also. I mean, and the reason is because I, literally I don't feel well, even while drinking, I don't feel well.
Speaker 2:I almost never do anymore at all. I don't enjoy it.
Speaker 1:So I go be social. Then it's like, right, it's you guys.
Speaker 2:All I heard is you guys were drinking fish the other night Well I know. And then you end up getting married on your sister's kitchen counter Like what is that? I don't know.
Speaker 1:On your sister's counter. Oh, any pictures. We were all talking about sharing pictures. I'm like I didn't take any, so Didn't want to see them anyways.
Speaker 2:We had a time last night.
Speaker 1:It was fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 1:So what's I've seen you at? I see you at different rodeos and things like that. How can we help you?
Speaker 2:So we actually Lifesider x is actually a sponsor of the pbr lights, out tour. Oh, very cool yeah, so we just did one in phoenix last month and then we're going to be in topeka kansas coming up next month and there's several more.

So we're building that up right now. We kind of went through a transition where we were all focused on regular Life Cider and now it's kind of we're shifting the focus to Life Cider X, because it's exponentially bigger than the other opportunity.

Speaker 1:oh yeah, well, that's the way to order. Guys just go to go to amazon free shipping and it shows up on your front porch. That's what I probably same day. Absolutely, oh, probably probably yeah yeah, so that's what I would do, that's what I'm going to do.
Speaker 2:Pretty soon it'll be everywhere, like I said unless I got a hookup now.
Speaker 1:So that's what I would do.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm going to do Pretty soon. It'll be everywhere. Like I said, I got a hookup now. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2:Real and for the B Stadium. We can hook you up with him if you want. I mean, that would be great. Yeah, I'd love to talk to him, but typically those guys have like huge contracts with Red Bull or you know somebody and they can't?
Speaker 1:They're making a ton of money. Would this directly conflict 100%? Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:My wife drinks a shit ton of Red Bull.
Speaker 2:Dude switch her please, which isn't? Give her this. Tell her to stop drinking that stuff. It's horrible for your body. It's horrible.
Speaker 1:Well, no, the answer, the jittery part. She'll probably love that and I just pounded a big coffee.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so you'll want to drink one or the other. Try it on a day when you haven't had coffee and just see the difference, like when you've had this for two or three days in a row and then you have a cup of coffee. You're like whoa.
Speaker 2:You realize how bad that actually makes you feel, and so, because of that whole slow metabolizing part that most people have, that's what people wake up so tired Because you drink it in the morning, because you're so tired and then, by the time you're in sleep at night, you can't get into REM sleep because your body's still metabolizing it. So then you wake up exhausted and you're like, oh my God, I need another coffee. And so you're just on this.
Speaker 1:I think I can't wait to drink this, because you know, every day at about two o'clock, right after lunch, it just you start getting that drag ass.
Speaker 2:Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1:I do one in the morning and one at about 2 o'clock and I'm on all day and it's got all the brain stuff and that's got to be cheaper. What does a can of this cost on a retail shelf?
Speaker 2:It depends on where, but anywhere from $2.99 to $3.49. Similar to every other one and to be organic and have all those nootropics in it, like it's so great.
Speaker 1:You know what the part that you wake up frazzled with is? That it's your nervous system and the pieces that are not there that are the paroxysm. Is that what? It's called yeah, yeah, I think that will resolve. Yeah, that's great dude, it doesn't tax your adrenals, like caffeine does.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm so it's better on some people.
Speaker 1:You knew what I was meaning.
Speaker 2:I knew where you were headed with that yeah, I was like do, do do. I've picked up what you were laying out. I was trying, that's okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, does this angle make me look fat? No, no. Does this angle make me look fat? No, no, but the reason why is you. What about that angle? Does that make you look fat?
Speaker 2:Yeah, You're just a big, old, meaty guy. Yeah, you are. What's wrong with that, dude? You've lost a ton of weight. What are you talking about? I know it's good.
