80% Of Internet Advice Is BS (2346)

In today’s episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros challenge the assumption that popular advice equals effective advice. They explore why so much online content sounds convincing but fails in practice, and how that disconnect quietly sabotages confidence, discipline, and long-term success. This episode focuses on developing accurate thinking, prioritizing the real world over appearances, and committing to fundamentals that actually produce results.

If you want to stop spinning your wheels and start making measurable progress, this conversation will sharpen your perspective. Decide who you trust, decide what you build, then move accordingly.

Kevin Palmieri

(0:00) This is a dangerous thing to say as somebody who makes a living from the internet, but yeah most of the stuff you see online is just bullshit and we're going to talk about why today. (0:11) I was on a podcast recently with a very very successful older gentleman and he said 80% of what you hear online nowadays is garbage. (0:20) Welcome to Next Level University, I'm your host Kevin Palmieri.(0:25) And I'm your co-host Alan Lazarus. (0:28) At NLU we believe in a heart-driven but no BS approach to holistic self-improvement for dream chasers. (0:35) Our goal with every episode is to help you level up your life, love, health, and wealth.(0:41) We bring you a new episode every single day on topics like confidence, self-belief, self-worth, self-awareness, relationships, boundaries, consistency, habits, and defining your own unique version of success. (0:57) Self-improvement, in your pocket, every day, from anywhere, completely free. (1:04) Welcome to Next Level University.(1:09) Next Level Nation today for episode number 2,346. (1:13) 80% of internet advice is BS. (1:16) Here's my theory.(1:17) This is my theory and this is why. (1:20) Okay, I have done extensive research on YouTube titles, podcast titles, YouTube thumbnails. (1:29) Okay, here's why this happens.(1:32) Because the algorithm rewards what gets clicked on. (1:37) What gets clicked on more often than not is usually totally bullshit. (1:42) You get rewarded for talking about bullshit, which means it locks you into, if you want to improve what you're doing, you kind of have to lean more and more and more into BS.(1:53) Unfortunately, one of the best examples of this is if you go on fitness channels, especially YouTube, and it says how to burn fat overnight. (2:04) That's not real. (2:05) That is bullshit.(2:07) I'm not saying in the video they say that. (2:10) They might actually have a thing that they say. (2:12) They just use that as clickbait.(2:13) But I think that's the problem. (2:15) The problem is we've gotten to a place where people just get away with that stuff. (2:21) And it's almost like there's so much bullshit now.(2:25) Yeah, that it's normal. (2:26) That it's just normal. (2:28) And there are so many people that pay for views and pay for ads.(2:32) It's just so normal now. (2:34) And I don't think people care as much as they used to because it's just common practice now, unfortunately. (2:40) In the book, The Art of Impossible by Stephen Kotler, it's behind me.(2:44) I don't know if I actually moved so you could see that on YouTube. (2:47) I don't think I can. (2:49) Yep, nope, it's behind me.(2:51) But you have to take my word for it. (2:53) Even though 80% of what you hear online is bullshit. (2:56) It's like, why are we the exception?(2:57) Because we are not looking for clickbaity stuff to our own detriment. (3:03) To our own detriment. (3:04) Genuinely.(3:05) Kevin, half the things he learns we can't implement because we just can't do it. (3:09) All right, so in the book, The Art of Impossible, Stephen Kotler breaks down what it was like back in the day to be a published researcher. (3:19) And you had to have a minimum of peer review and three valid sources with credentials and all that's gone.(3:27) All that's gone. (3:29) Now you need an idea and a laptop connected to the internet and then you hit click and it publishes. (3:38) That's it.(3:39) That is the barrier to entry. (3:41) No one has to review it. (3:42) No one has to agree with it.(3:43) No one has to fact check it. (3:45) No one has to do anything with it. (3:48) So one of the things that comes up in group coaching, we are doing the 21st round of the Next Level Podcast Accelerator.(3:58) It used to be success and personal development. (3:59) It used to be just personal development. (4:01) Now it's success and personal development.(4:02) Then it was success and personal development and podcasting and business. (4:05) That's where we are now. (4:06) Okay, and if you want into that, reach out to Kevin or I.(4:10) But Kevin and I, when he's teaching, I'm always jumping in and saying the other side of the coin, which can be very annoying, especially when we're under time constraints. (4:21) Which also is basically what this podcast is too, by the way. (4:25) But Kev is teaching tactics that you can implement now.(4:29) And I'm like, no, no, no, but wait, but wait. (4:33) That might work, but you need to make sure it's aligned with your long-term vision and the brand that you're trying to create. (4:39) It needs to be, and I always say, Tesla should not sell energy drinks.(4:42) Red Bull should not sell cars. (4:44) That same principle applies to you as a human being. (4:47) You shouldn't be a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, and a coach, and a podcaster, and, and, and, and, and, and, and.(4:52) You're diluting your personal brand. (4:55) You're also diluting your ability to actually focus and be a successful human being. (5:00) And so the point of this is basically everything that you do on the internet does not have to be peer-reviewed or checked by anyone.(5:10) There's no real gatekeepers anymore, which has an upside. (5:14) The upside is anyone can make it. (5:17) The downside is basically all influencers, for lack of better phrasing, that term influencer, are now running the world in a way because that's what kids are looking up to.(5:33) Like the amount of people that have significant amounts of influence nowadays in the 21st century versus their actual credibility, and credentials, and experience, and background, that has been completely destroyed. (5:58) And you and I talked about a fitness influencer back in the day that you watched that I thought was completely inaccurate about everything. (6:06) Rich, Rich, Rich, Rich Piana?(6:08) Yeah, yeah, yeah. (6:09) Well, he was inaccurate about everything, but he was a spectacle. (6:12) And that's, I think that's why people.(6:13) But that's, okay, that's a perfect example. (6:15) That's a perfect example. (6:17) People watched Rich because he was a spectacle, not because he was intelligent, and well-researched, and accurate.(6:27) I believe the most important thing for you, listener, to be successful in this life is accurate thinking about yourself, others, and the world. (6:37) Question for you. (6:39) Yes.(6:40) Remember Shreds? (6:43) Do you remember Shreds? (6:44) That was like the first time I ever saw a company where I was like, this is definitely bullshit.(6:50) Do you remember Shreds? (6:52) No. (6:53) Shreds was a supplement company.(6:55) I mean, this was like early Instagram days. (6:58) These were like some of the first quote, unquote, Instagram fitness influencers. (7:03) Talk to me.(7:04) They were obviously on steroids. (7:07) I mean, obviously. (7:09) Brother.(7:11) And. (7:12) Real quick. (7:12) And some of the female athletes were 1000% photoshopping their pictures, for sure.(7:18) Without a question. (7:18) But this was like, this was like the first time that had been done like that. (7:25) And now everybody's forgotten about it.(7:28) All of them have gone on. (7:29) They all have very successful careers. (7:31) They have millions of followers.(7:32) They probably make a ton of money. (7:35) People just forgot about it because it was however long ago. (7:39) Yeah.(7:41) Shreds. (7:42) What happens when. (7:44) What happens when what is most compelling is the least accurate?(7:49) That is my thesis. (7:51) I, I always talk about Brian Tracy. (7:54) I got to bring up Brian, my man, Brian Tracy.(7:56) I honestly don't know if this man is still living. (7:58) I think he is. (7:59) He's got to be 90 now or something like that.(8:02) He's up there. (8:03) Dude, he has some books on the science of achievement. (8:05) They are as boring as the day is long.(8:08) I am telling his voice is boring. (8:10) The content's boring. (8:12) He is just the most boring speaker I've ever met in my entire life.(8:15) And by met, I mean, listen to 80. (8:17) He has some pretty, it's not all accurate. (8:22) Okay.(8:22) A lot of his stuff is older. (8:23) We've learned a lot since, you know, 60s, 70s, 80s. (8:26) But like, it's way more accurate than half the shit we see online.(8:32) I always say to everybody, Kevin and I are selling kale outside a candy store. (8:38) We are. (8:38) Brother, we are.(8:39) You know that. (8:40) Of course, of course. (8:41) We are very much trying very hard to not only be accurate, but to give you both sides of the coin.(8:48) To give you the pros and the cons. (8:51) I could easily be like, I'm going to lose 10 pounds in 10 months. (8:54) And it's going to be easy.(8:55) It's going to be, all I'm going to do is boom, boom, boom. (8:57) And if you buy this Dreamliner, you can lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks. (9:01) I said 10 months.(9:02) My bad. (9:02) Yeah, 10 weeks. (9:04) 10 pounds in 10 days.(9:07) Not only is that ridiculous, it's also unhealthy to do that. (9:13) The success fundamentals that actually work, they're boring. (9:21) They're not that compelling.(9:23) The books that I had you read, how boring are those books? (9:26) Have you gotten to any of them? (9:27) Know how and executive?(9:29) I listened to the systems one. (9:32) How good? (9:33) What do you think?(9:34) Boring as hell. (9:35) Yeah, boring. (9:35) It's like brutal to listen to some of these books.(9:37) I'm reading decoding greatness right now. (9:39) How the best in the world reverse engineer success. (9:42) This is so fucking boring.(9:45) I was thinking of this the other day. (9:47) You know how people say money changes people? (9:50) I don't think it's the money that changes people.(9:52) I think it's most people sell out to get the money. (9:55) So they're already changed when they get the money. (9:56) They change in order to get the money.(9:58) I'm convinced of that now more than ever, because I see some of these. (10:03) I do like an unhealthy amount of research on YouTube because we work with a lot of big channels now. (10:09) And I'm looking at what people are posting and they know it's bullshit.(10:12) Not our clients, our clients don't do that. (10:14) But like there's a lot of people out there that I'm looking at to see what's working and what people are doing and what's the current ecosystem on YouTube. (10:23) And they know they're lying.(10:25) They know it. (10:25) And how do you compete with people who are doing that? (10:28) Like seriously, let's think about the greater systemic issue here.(10:31) You play, you have to play the long game because in the short game, you can't win that game. (10:35) Yeah. (10:35) You can't.(10:36) And that's, I'm telling you, that's why people sell out because they do it. (10:40) And then somebody comes in and says, look, here, this is like the shortcut. (10:44) I have it.(10:45) Here's the shortcut. (10:47) Honestly, you just kind of got to like lose a little bit of yourself to do it. (10:51) Yeah.(10:51) I mean, you're going to have to look yourself in the mirror. (10:54) Let me share this vulnerably. (10:56) There's one of the photos that I just posted with Emilia and I got more reach than any of the other ones I've ever posted on Instagram.(11:04) And I know why. (11:05) Emilia looked 12 out of 10 in it. (11:07) She's unbelievable.(11:08) I had trouble posting it. (11:11) She's extremely, extremely attractive and voluptuous. (11:16) And usually she hides that because she's extremely respectful and doesn't, isn't interested in, in any of that shit.(11:24) I had trouble posting it because I knew it would get, God damn, how do I go down this road properly? (11:40) She is, um, unbelievably gifted. (11:44) She has a shelf.(11:46) She's a shelf. (11:47) Okay. (11:47) She has a shelf.(11:48) Big booty. (11:49) All right. (11:51) That's not why I, no, I'm not going to get more successful because of that.(11:58) Absolutely not. (12:00) But I am a fit couple and people say hashtag goals. (12:05) They want to go to the gym with their partner.(12:07) We have conscious couples podcasts. (12:08) Like, look at how red I am during this conversation. (12:10) It pisses me off.(12:11) It's like, listen, you can't tell really, you really can't tell that we're in great shape. (12:17) We have to like show it off. (12:18) Here's the problem.(12:21) Dude, I watched some of these accounts that some people watch and it's like the most catered marketing dude. (12:27) I just saw someone earlier. (12:29) I was on her Instagram page.(12:30) She literally redid her teeth in the photo. (12:34) She fake teeth. (12:35) Like her real teeth are terrible to be completely honest.(12:38) Awful. (12:39) You can see it in her videos. (12:41) But in all of her photos and all of her marketing, queen boss, babe, blah, blah, blah, blah.(12:45) It's like, oh my God, all of this is completely fake. (12:49) And I warned one of our team members. (12:51) Hey, this is probably going to be a tough interview for you because she seems really fake.(12:55) I just don't like what, what happened to like actually brushing your fucking teeth and taking care of yourself? (13:03) Like what happened to getting fit instead of plastic surgery? (13:07) And there's one person Kev that I found on Instagram from, we went to high school with her and I was curious.(13:15) So I went to her Instagram page and she does all cosmetic stuff. (13:20) Now you would remember, but I'm not going to say the name. (13:23) I'm not interested.(13:26) Her entire career is built on making people look better than they really do. (13:30) And it's like, instead of redoing. (13:32) And again, I know I'm in the minority in this.(13:34) So don't villainize me for this. (13:35) This is for the listeners, real life success, real life. (13:40) Instead of getting a Brazilian butt lift and lip injections and doing your fake eyebrows and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and why don't you just take good care of your physique and your mind, body, heart, and soul and like invest in the asset and eat healthier and exercise like brother.(14:02) It has gotten out of hand, man. (14:05) It's gotten out of hand. (14:06) It's just way more accessible now.(14:10) That the accessibility want you can with 12 easy payments of whatever it is, you know, you're off to the races. (14:19) Unfortunately, I'm in the same, I'm in the same as a, as a short King, as we like to be known short Kings. (14:26) Dude, I see a bunch of alpha dudes who are like my height that wear lifts in their shoes.(14:32) Now I can laugh at that because I'm their height, so I'm not making fun of them because I'm short like they are, but that's never, what happens when you don't have that? (14:40) What happens when you don't have the crutch? (14:42) It doesn't actually help you.(14:44) It makes you feel good in a moment, but it's not gonna, it's not gonna, it's like, uh, it's like practicing your sport of choice against preschoolers. (14:53) Like, yeah, you're dunking on preschoolers, but when you go out into the real world and you have to deal with real emotions and real adversity, it's not, it doesn't hold up. (15:02) Yeah.(15:03) What do you, what happens when you don't have your lifts? (15:05) Then what? (15:06) You can't take pictures with people or you know what I mean?(15:09) Well, you and I have met some of the most quote unquote beautiful people on, on earth and they are sometimes the most insecure and that really blew our mind for a time. (15:18) I think it makes perfect sense now, but like when you grow up, you see, you know, you're a little kid and you see these gorgeous women and all this stuff and then you realize, I've not only interviewed these people, I've coached these people. (15:32) In some cases, legitimate supermodels and it's like, Oh, you're like really insecure.(15:40) And the reason why, one of the reasons why is because everyone is playing this unwinnable game of like, stay young, stay fit, stay healthier, stay sexier. (15:50) Like what's wrong with being 30 and looking 30. (15:56) And not only that, but, um, if that's, what's getting clicked on, that's, what's getting attention.(16:03) That's where revenue is going. (16:05) Now it perpetuates it. (16:06) And, and I think in the long term, if you care, and this is what it always comes down to, I got to go here before we get out of here.(16:15) There's the social world in the real world. (16:17) It always comes down to this principle. (16:18) I am so convinced of this when I was the most unhappy in life, the most miserable, the most unfulfilled.(16:24) It's when I was putting the social world above the real world. (16:27) In the real world, I was unhappy and unfulfilled and I didn't love myself and I didn't love my physique, but I was pretending in the social world to be happy and fulfilled and to love myself. (16:39) There was a short time.(16:40) I call it my F off phase where I was like putting on a show, acting really happy with a thriving social life. (16:45) But behind the scenes, I was really unfulfilled. (16:48) I flipped that script so hard now where like my real life, I think is magnificent.(16:54) It's unbelievably good. (16:56) It's so good, dude. (16:58) And I have trouble showing it because it's so much contrast.(17:03) And I don't know. (17:07) There's like this show off thing. (17:09) Like my girlfriend is, his future wife is like the hottest freaking thing ever.(17:13) But I don't feel the need like other guys online to like make her show that off, you know, because where's the class in that? (17:26) Where's the, I don't know. (17:30) It's like, I care more about, I was the prepubescent loser who like could never get a girl like Emilia and now I'm the man she's with and I don't want to have to play that game.(17:44) I can't play that game because here's why. (17:46) Because I think it's part of the problem. (17:49) I think it's part of the problem.(17:50) You want to know the real, if you see that photo of me and Emilia, she looks unbelievable. (17:55) 12 out of 10, one guy in there made me want to punch him right in the face. (17:59) I didn't.(17:59) But the point I'm making is if you look at that photo, that's four years of consistent exercise. (18:06) That's what that is. (18:07) None of that's plastic surgery.(18:08) None of that is any cosmetic thing whatsoever. (18:10) It's literally just sleep, hydration, nutrition, training, mobility, breathwork, and supplementation.

Alan Lazaros

(18:15) It is literally. (18:16) And genetics.

Kevin Palmieri

(18:16) And unbelievable genetics. (18:18) Yes. (18:19) Yes.(18:20) Fair. (18:20) Which is also. (18:21) I know, but I'm just saying.

Alan Lazaros

(18:23) No, no, you're absolutely right.

Kevin Palmieri

(18:23) I want to throw it out there. (18:24) You've got to throw the genetics as well. (18:29) But you don't want, if I did an episode of what you could get in four years of consistent exercise, that's not going to do as well as us just like looking like we showed up.(18:40) For some reason, it builds status to have results without having to try. (18:48) And that attitude is never actually what builds results. (18:52) I know people behind the scenes that are working 10 out of 10, struggling to figure out how to do it and don't know the strategy and don't know how to do it and are working tons.(19:01) And then in front of the scenes, they make it look like they just arrived. (19:04) There's some weird thing. (19:06) It's not weird.(19:07) You said it. (19:07) It's because most people, their success depends on the social world, not the real world. (19:13) Their fulfillment depends on the real world.(19:15) That is the issue. (19:16) That's what we need to talk about. (19:18) Dude, a lot of the people that we know that are successful because of social media don't do anything in real life with people that don't know them.(19:28) They don't do that. (19:28) They have a very, they are the gatekeepers. (19:31) You can't get around these people.

Alan Lazaros

(19:33) You don't get close.

Kevin Palmieri

(19:34) They know you're going to find out. (19:35) Yeah. (19:35) But online, it would be completely different if you and I had to make money from this.(19:43) We don't make a dollar from this podcast directly. (19:45) There's no ads. (19:46) There's no sponsors.(19:47) It doesn't matter how many views or listens we get. (19:49) We don't get paid in proportion to any of that. (19:51) We don't care.(19:51) Not interested. (19:52) It doesn't matter. (19:52) We have a real business that works with real people behind the scenes.(19:57) Yeah. (19:57) If it's different. (19:59) If you're an, if you're an influencer and you want brands to pay you money to review their products, you've got to look like you got your shit together and you got to look like you have a nice apartment downtown with 12 foot ceilings and fucking skylights and you have to have a standing tub and you got to have the dog.(20:16) You got to have all this stuff. (20:17) But that's because it is. (20:19) It has been broken into two worlds.(20:21) Some of the most successful people that make the most money, you will never see them online because they make money in the real world. (20:26) They don't have to be online. (20:27) Yeah.(20:28) And those are always investors, by the way. (20:30) And I don't mean investors just with finances. (20:32) I mean, they're the people who built something.(20:36) But now there's a lot of people that are making boatloads of money by just being online and they don't, nobody really gets to see them in person. (20:44) I think that's the unfortunate divide. (20:47) You all have a decision to make.(20:49) And if you're a next level listener, this needs to be the decision you make because otherwise you will never stick with us long term. (20:54) You just won't. (20:57) The decision is real world first.(21:01) Real life first. (21:02) The thing that's interesting, brother, is I don't even see people anymore that often. (21:06) Well, I could do that.(21:08) I still won't. (21:10) But when you see me in person, if any of you have ever met me in person, I don't want to be worse than you thought. (21:16) I have met people.(21:18) I'm not joking. (21:19) Like you and I ran into an influencer's wife at the grocery store and you and I afterwards were like, are you kidding me? (21:27) Is that the same human?(21:29) Still a very beautiful human, but not what she looks like online. (21:33) I don't agree with you. (21:34) I don't.(21:34) I still think she's beautiful. (21:36) Okay, fair. (21:36) But it's not even close.(21:38) Yeah, the contrast between what is seen online and what was seen in person. (21:41) It was like night and day for sure. (21:42) So like what 80%?(21:44) I mean, 80% of stuff online is just be careful. (21:48) That's it. (21:48) That's all Kevin and I are saying.(21:50) Stop. (21:50) If it sounds too good to be true, it is, especially nowadays.

Alan Lazaros

(21:54) Yeah.

Kevin Palmieri

(21:55) Like the fundamentals that really work in real life are boring and challenging. (22:02) And I don't know why you have to make everything sound like it's easy. (22:06) Infomercials used to be made fun of.(22:09) Now everything's an infomercial. (22:11) Four hour work week is absolute garbage. (22:14) It's not real.(22:16) And that's what this is. (22:17) And Kevin and I are on this end and I'm grateful we are, man. (22:20) I really wrote it in my journal.(22:22) No, I'm grateful we are. (22:24) I'd rather be on this end than the other for sure. (22:26) I couldn't sleep at night the other way because be the change you wish to see in the world.(22:30) This is the change Kevin and I wish to see in the world because it's obviously a huge problem, brother. (22:38) This person from high school that I'm thinking of, she looks more like a porcelain doll than a real human at this point. (22:44) It's not real.(22:46) And she doesn't look healthy. (22:47) It's not like she looks healthy. (22:49) She looks probably pretty miserable and very unhealthy.(22:53) And again, fine, you do you. (22:55) But for our listeners, you cannot manufacture fulfillment. (23:00) You can't manufacture fulfillment.(23:03) It has to be authentic and homegrown and organic. (23:06) It does. (23:06) It just has to.(23:07) And I'm on that end to such a strong extreme because I've interviewed wealthy people, models. (23:15) I was a model. (23:16) I did 43 photo shoots with models.(23:19) It blew my mind for a time and it doesn't blow my mind anymore. (23:23) Now it makes perfect sense. (23:24) So I just want to give that to all of our listeners.(23:26) Everyone on the internet, everyone, including Kevin and I, are probably trying to look. (23:33) They're trying to show you what they want you to see. (23:36) Let's just leave it there.(23:38) We are showing you what we want you to see on social media. (23:43) I'm not going to pick on podcasting because that's some behind the scenes. (23:45) If anything, I think we're taking more credits than we probably should.(23:48) But in social media land, I am showing you what I want you to see. (23:52) Even if I want you to see the worst. (23:55) Everyone on the internet is showing you what they want you to see.(23:58) You need to know that and re-know that and re-know that if you want to stay successful in real life. (24:05) Last thing, last thing. (24:07) Again, doing a lot of research on YouTube.(24:09) What's popping up a ton now is just AI videos. (24:13) They're not real people. (24:14) They just go find viral titles and viral thumbnails.(24:17) They throw it in their little chat bot, bada bing, bada boom. (24:19) You got yourself a little AI video. (24:21) Million views.(24:22) Awesome. (24:23) But whatever. (24:23) And that's going to happen.(24:24) I have no, that's, that is what it is. (24:26) The issue I have is in the description when it says I'm a 73 year old retiree, blah, blah, blah. (24:31) And you're not, you're not a real person.(24:32) That's fucked up. (24:33) That's pretty fucked up. (24:34) I don't like that.(24:36) AI is coming. (24:37) That's happening, right? (24:37) We use AI.(24:38) I'm not, I'm not villainizing AI. (24:40) But to, to put I'm a 73 year old or I'm a 42 year old stay at home mom or whatever. (24:45) 42 year old stay at home dad.(24:46) No, you're not. (24:47) You're an AI bot that this whole channel was created to make money more than anything. (24:51) It's not real.(24:52) So that's a whole nother thing. (24:54) If you want real fitness accountability, we have the Next Level Fitness Accountability Group. (24:57) Reach out to Alan and or myself.(24:58) If you're looking for real results in the real fucking world with a real world, uh, world-class coach, reach out to Alan and he will help you get those results. (25:07) All right. (25:07) Can you imagine you and I hearing ourselves when we were 15 hearing this and, and seeing that pitch?(25:15) If you want real results in the real world with real people, real community, that is like going to be our new pitch of the future because we're going to be, we're going to be amongst the minority of people that like, no, no, no. (25:27) We have real people though. (25:29) I'm not a real listeners.(25:30) I'm not a robot. (25:31) I know them. (25:31) Like I can show you them in real life, physical reality.(25:35) It is going to be weird. (25:37) Yeah, I want to go all in on that, man. (25:39) I'm glad we are.(25:39) Seriously. (25:40) So if you're listening like this, this is going to get more and more rare. (25:43) Like you want a group of people that are real life people, real humans in the real world.(25:51) Like this is the place. (25:53) We're doubling and tripling down on that. (25:55) We know our listeners deeply, dude.(25:56) I, we have a, that fitness accountability group. (25:59) I don't think there's one person in there that we don't really know where we had an actual conversation with at some point, you or I, you know, it's, it's, there's very few that have, that aren't. (26:08) I don't think you're going to get many episodes where you get to the end and then, then, then say like, oh yeah, that sounds pretty easy.(26:15) When we do it. (26:16) If you do, I think that's always worth questioning. (26:19) You don't think my coaching is easy?(26:21) No. (26:23) Almost everything is harder than I think. (26:24) I replaced a couple of toilet things, a couple of toilet flaps.(26:27) And I was like, this is, this is going to be a breeze. (26:29) I had to cut it with a razor knife. (26:30) It was a whole fucking thing.(26:31) And that was harder than I thought it was going to be. (26:33) ChatGT told me it was going to be easy. (26:36) Yeah, yeah, yeah.(26:37) Of course they did. (26:37) That's how they sold you. (26:38) They also told me I'm the most intelligent.(26:39) Everything is harder than it's marketed. (26:41) The most intelligent human being who has ever lived. (26:43) So, you know, they could be slightly off on that.(26:45) All right. (26:46) As always, we love you. (26:46) We appreciate you.(26:47) Grateful for each and every one of you. (26:48) And if you are as committed as you say you are to getting to the next level, make sure you tune in tomorrow because we will be here every single day to help you get there in the real fucking world.
