Transcript

What you drinking on just black coffee? I got a little bit of some 0 Cal syrup and some. What brand syrup are you using? Out of whatever was in the break room. Is it clean? People send me stuff all the time. It's not clean. I probably don't use it, but you're using it. I'm using a little dash. Yeah, my standard's just higher than yours, bro. It'll it'll, it'll get filtered out as soon as we're under like 10 weeks. I usually kind of cut all those.

I try not to do much for artificial sweeteners as it is, but they help just satisfy a little bit something with some flavor. But there's also Redmond Relight chocolate in here as well. That's that stuff is the bone. Oh yeah, we had so this is take 2 on this podcast. We spent we, we tried recording yesterday and I hate that we missed that 'cause we had a lot of like good little banter,

preliminary pre roll banter. We're talking about my blue light blocking glasses, which you said I should wear these and not these, right? Yeah, I think those ones, you have to be on a motorcycle to justify. They just look like. What about a a unicycle? Could I wear unicycle, bicycle, tricycle but not a motorcycle? Not a motorcycle, OK. Or vice versa. What else were we talking about? Yesterday I showed you a picture of the sandbox. I I finished it last night.

Oh yeah, you were building Rygy a little. Yeah, I built them a freaking slick sandbox. Man, yeah, you were talking a little bit about steering away from treated lumber or doing a little bit more. Cedar. Right. Oh that is awesome. Yeah, I put a cedar liner on the inside because. So it doesn't leach into the sand. Yeah, because the treated lumber it's I don't know what they cured cure it with now they used to cure everything with Chris Oat.

It probably still is Chris Oat, but like we're we've gotten rid of all of his polyester clothes. So to me it's OK. It doesn't. He obviously heats right So it's like probably doesn't make sense for him to be playing in sandbox Leached Chris Oat. That'll that's right in his skin, you know? So we did them. That looks good. Working on my fence. I lost my order ring. Oh no, yeah, OK. Is it Bluetooth though right? Yeah, it's Bluetooth, so can.

You just wander around and like wait for it to connect or is it dead? I think I know where I lost it, but it's like buried in a bunch of leaves and like I'd scrape through leaves for like 30 minutes. I'm like, I can't find this thing. But I was thinking about that and I'm like the only thing I ever use my oar ring for anyways is sleep. Like seeing how much I sleep but it always just tells me I don't sleep enough and I don't need the ring to tell me that.

Yeah, you already know. That my watch says the same thing. The difference between my watch and the oar ring is that typically the rim and deep like cycles are inverted, like they both are accurate in the total time asleep. But then my this ring would show, you know, a little bit of deep and a lot of rim and my watch just shows the inversion of that. So I don't know which of those is more accurate, but I'll probably eventually get another or ring but I just didn't feel

like. Does your did your watch pick up on snoring? Like if you have snoring that happens during the night. I don't know. I've had this watch for three years, four years, and I don't know what most of the buttons do. OK. Well, my Samsung does like the Samsung Health, the whole myriad of things. And one of the things that it tracks during sleep is First off, it gives you a sleep score, of course. Then it gives you actual sleep time.

It tracks your cycles, it tracks your different R.E.M., light, deep snoring, skin temp, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen, all that kind of stuff. But the snoring, If it picks up on snoring, you can actually pull it up on the phone and listen to little audio clips of your. Weird. Yeah. And at what time in the night you snore, which stage you're in when you're snoring, kind of just like helps you figure it out. Yeah, I've done like the mouth

taping. I'm not doing it currently, but I've done that to help with snoring because I snore a little bit. Occasionally Rigel snores too, so I got to get him fixed up there. But yeah, I need to get my sleep dot and I think my my mattress is like 10 years old and they say you got to replace your mattress every 10 years. So I think when we do eventually get a new mattress, I might get that eight sleep mattress. Oh yeah, that does all of that stuff anyways.

But the thing I really like about it is it thermoregulates as you sleep. So if your body temperature starts elevating, it cools automatically to keep you in a certain core window of temperature. Which I think would be super nice because I like it crazy cold. So do.

I because I am a hot sleeper. I am 88 and when we have the baby, Crystal's obviously going to have the baby in the bed and she's not going to let me crank down the thermostat as much as I would, so if I've got a mattress that's keeping me cooler, I think it'd be worthwhile. They have one that's two zoned, right? Yeah, so this is 2 zoned, so like you can she. Can have it hot and you can. Crank this up. Exactly.

Sweet. Because like right now I've been, it's kind of warming up. So I've been turning the AC on at night and just letting the temperature do its thing. And I'll set it at like 65, but then I'll like, I woke up the other day and it was 58. In a bedroom. Yeah, which was amazing. I love it. I. Just slept good. No, I slept super good. For like 2 minutes. No, I slept good the whole way through. Like, but you only get a lot. You don't get a lot of.

Sleep. I don't get a lot of sleep but like I don't have a problem falling asleep and I feel like my sleep quality is good it's just not enough but it's got to be cold. Same for me, I've been opening my windows lately because it gets kind of cool and crisp in the night. Crank the windows open, ceiling fan on. Then I have a little fan on my night stand and just zips air across my face and it's the.

Best little background noise going yeah, I turned the fan on for that same reason yesterday when we were doing take One, we talked about I kind of want to make this the conversation of just like time, time management and optimizing for time. And I wrote about this in my newsletter, too, But we started talking about how people in modern day society, like Pat, use a pacifier in a sense, you know, like they have this waste of time to pacify themselves from their reality.

And we talked about. Oh yeah. We were talking. About video games and concerts. Live music, sports, all that. Kind of. Stuff and probably a good thing that that one got cancelled 'cause I didn't want it to come across as me being demeaning towards people that go to concerts like yourself.

Take 2. Take two 'cause I asked you do you like going to concerts 'cause I love going to live concerts and would live at outdoor festivals if I. Could and I've been to one concert, I lasted 20 minutes and it was just not my jam, so I left. But you go to concerts all the time. I love it, but I don't like watching people live their life. I like living my life and concerts like your scenario, you're going with buddies, you know, lifelong buddies, so

you're making memories. So like I could totally get behind that. But like, sports teams, I don't watch sports teams, I don't watch football, I don't have a fantasy Football League. I don't do that because like, to me, the athletes are the one living and everybody just watching them live. And again, nothing against them. That's just not my jam. And then we took it one step further. We're talking about people that

play video games. And then like the next level deep on that is people that watch videos of people playing video games. Or live streams, yeah. We've had some technical difficulties. We've had to restart this podcast I think three times, couple times, couple times. So you may have some repetitive stuff in there. But to finish the last clip that I do think was recorded is that I feel like people waste an obscene amount of time doing things that are unproductive and

not growing their character. And then there's benefit to disconnecting, like you go to the concerts to disconnect. I go. There to have a great time, make some memories, take some photos, you know, see the people that I really enjoy listening to live. And you've got something to show for that, like you've got more memories with friends, you've got experiences me disconnecting by working on the sandbox of

rides. You're like, that's something that I'm physically creating and creating memories with him in the process. I suppose someone could probably justify why they watch hours of somebody else live streaming video games, but I would have a hard time figuring out how that's benefiting their growth as a person. And not that everything has to create growth, but why not?

Like, I mean, if you only got 1 left to live, it makes sense to kind of like, stack the chips in your favor and try to spend your time doing things that are benefiting you. Yeah. So yeah. So then that kind of led to our conversation on optimizing the time that we have because there's not a whole lot of idle time in my day, but I spend an hour and 10 minutes every single day driving to the gym to meet up with you to train in favor because it's closer to where you live and you're able to.

We'll finish up, we'll get there at 5, train for an hour, hour and 15 minutes. You leave, go take a shower, let the dogs out, go to the compound. I go home, take a shower, meet you at the compound for 8:00 meeting. But I think what we're going to do is we're going to revamp our gym, get it just the way we want it, build a shower in the gym so that you can start training there. We'll keep it at 5:00 and then we'll have, we'll be done shower and everything by 6:30.

And then we'll have like an hour and a half of productive work time before the crew ever even gets there at 8:00. Yeah, that'd be nice. We'll have a whole new window of just undisturbed quiet time. Yeah, because like, the moment people start emailing me and I start getting messages and I get questions from the crew and people are slacking me and clients are messaging me, like I don't have as many creative hours after that point. So protecting those early

morning hours is key. And we'll make the gym such that you've got everything you need for your prep. Nothing's left to chance. And you, like, prefer to train there. And I was thinking too, like, I don't know if you're open to this, but like, what if we listen to audiobooks while we work down? Oh, I don't know. We'll have to see how that goes. I might be wearing headphones if that's the case.

Something that I need. Some of that needs some. 50 Shades of grey, you know, we can listen to that. I don't know. Yeah. Read by Betty White. Yeah. No, I see the narrator. I don't. Know I'm just making that up, but what we, we could try we we'll have to see because that might be a negative that might not be too motivational. When I'm super deep in a prep, it's weird man. Like I prefer that over music.

When I'm in a building phase and I get extra calories running through my veins, like I crank up the music. I got the beat rocking and I'm just like in the zone. But like when I'm super depleted, I actually prefer like just listening and being like meditated with my training. It's kind of weird. That is kind of weird, super weird 'cause you're weird. But see, I, I, I think there's a

little bit more stimulus there. So you're actually taking in something of content, audibly processing it through your brain. Whereas me, I just like to crank the music, not think about what I'm listening to. It just has some loud beat to it, and then I can just move some weights around. Yeah. So I mean, we'll see. We could definitely give it a try. Yeah, we don't have to do 50 Shades of Grey. It could be some other self help voting. I'm joking by the way.

So yeah, about scheduling, again, it's kind of hard. I apologize to listeners because we've like said these same things in different orders multiple times, but with our schedule, with my schedule specifically, I'm thinking about you use Google Calendar. Yeah, well, I have a an Android phone, so it's all. It's all, yeah. So I use Google Calendar for everything. If it's not in my calendar, it does not exist. And I've got like a calendly scheduling link that I'll send.

People are trying to book guests on my podcast and stuff like that. And the way I've got structure currently is people can book a podcast recording with me Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I think Thursday and Friday are up in the air. And then I like schedule a bunch of meetings for like software companies, our ads team or e-mail team, like all these different agencies and teams and stuff that we have going with the businesses. All of those meetings are scattered throughout the week.

What I'm probably going to do is I'm trying to optimize my whole schedule and just capitalize on all the time that I do have is make Monday blocked out completely. So nobody can schedule calls with me on Monday. That'll be for me to do like administrative work, creative thinking, just start the week like it's, it's, it's kind of demoralizing when you start the week and you've already got like a whole bunch of meetings on Monday and you can't be as

proactive with the week. So I'm going to make Monday like a stand alone blocked, you know, proactive creative day. And then Tuesday I'm going to have that for all of the meetings, like all of the software meetings, all of the meetings, like all these little 30 minute meetings that just stack up on top of each other. Plus we do our live call on Tuesday at six, Wednesday and Thursday I'll make that for podcasts where that's all I do on Wednesday and Thursday is

just record podcasts. So that can be totally engaged with the guests and they just have that structured. Friday I'll make as another creative buffer admin day where I can catch up on anything loose ends from the week and then plan and be proactive with the coming week. Plus, I travel a lot on Fridays and Mondays and I'm often times not in the office anyways. And if we do launches on Sunday, which we always do, Monday's a heavy packaging day, so I could

be there for that as well. So I think I'm going to revamp my whole booking schedule so that people can only book meetings on Tuesday and podcasts on Wednesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. That's a good approach because I've seen your days kind of whirlwind, out of control sometimes, especially like Mondays when we start the week with production and maybe something isn't going smooth. We need to revamp something. We need to spend a little bit of

time in the kitchen. That totally jacks up my Oh yeah, Like when there's anything going on with the kitchen and I need to proactively just plan on there being mistakes in the kitchen where I just have that worked into my schedule. But like if I'm super booked, which I typically AM and I've got like 2 podcasts and 3456 meetings on Monday and then like the freaking depositing elf goes out or the flow wrappers not

packaging. Well, we've had issues with like refrigeration units, we've had issues with outlets, electrical outlets in the kitchen. We've had things that have just plugged up. We've just, there's just random stuff that just pops in. So I think that'll be good.

I think that'll be super good. And if you and I are, you know, in the chair working at 630 before they ever get here until 8:00, then I feel like I'll be able to 10X my productive hours, my creative hours and just like be proactive instead of reactive, man, because. Then we'll get some stuff done before the guys even get here and start production for the day. That way, if something hits a hurdle during production, you've already got a bunch of stuff knocked out. Exactly.

Yeah, that'd be good. What else? What have we talked about that didn't get recorded? We were talking a little bit about just communication in general, you know, like when you're involved with all these different people, emailing back and forth, texting back and forth, messaging back and forth, ads, teams, ingredients, suppliers, all that kind of stuff.

And communication is key. And when you're shooting them an e-mail and you don't hear back and you don't hear back and you don't hear back, it's, it's frustrating. Yeah, I hate text messaging. So I try and keep everything in Slack for our internal teams and then externally e-mail and I'll typically respond to emails within 24 hours. Like I batch respond to all my emails or I try to unless it's

like super time sensitive. But I hate it when people e-mail me and they expect an immediate response. If I'm waiting on them and it's time sensitive, then I'll respond back immediately. But there's lots of instances where like I'll go e-mail somebody needing a response within 24 hours and then not hear back for 10 days. Especially when you when there's so many timelines that have to stack up. Yeah, especially when I'm paying them a lot of money. Exactly.

If I'm paying them a lot of money, then I expect a certain degree of mutual respect amongst one another where like, OK, I'm paying for a service or a product and you communicate with me that you've received that purchase order, that you have received payments, that you know the details of my ingredient purchase or whatever. Not getting a response within 10 days of those kind of emails is very frustrating. Even just acknowledgement goes a long ways.

Let's say when you sit down at a restaurant and you're going out to eat and you sit down and obviously the restaurant is super busy and all the servers are running around, bartenders are running around, everyone's just going crazy. If that server comes to your table within two minutes of you sitting down, just says, hey, my name is so and so, I'll be right with you guys. I'm super busy. Go ahead and take a look at the menu.

I'll be right back. That buys you like so much more time than them just not doing that and not touching the table. It's crazy. Were you ever a server? I was, yeah. What kind? Of restaurant you serve at. Actually, one of my very first jobs when I was 15, I had a driver's permit, didn't even have a driver's license yet, was a dishwasher at our bar and restaurant. And then I graduated into a pizza cook, line cook, server, bartender, manager.

So I like worked my way up the whole entire chain. That was one of the biggest things is like, even if the restaurant is jam packed to the gills, like nowhere to even sit, if your server comes over and just says, hey, guys, my name is Greg, I'll be right with you guys. I'll be, you know, just a couple minutes. Gotta pump, pump an order into the computer screen. I'll be right back then those people already made connection with you. They're already excited.

They're already ready for you to come back. They can start looking at the menu, that kind of thing. But if they don't see somebody for 10 minutes, they're already pissed off. They're definitely not going to leave you a very good tip. They may even just walk out and they may leave a bad review. They may never come back. Yeah. So it's key. Yeah, communication is key. I mean, you and I both have clients and it's kind of crazy because I'll, I'll do my, I'll

batch respond to my clients too. But I tell them on the initial client column, look, I batch respond to all my client messaging, message me at any point throughout the day and I'll respond back as soon as I go through my client list for the day. I typically do that first thing in the morning on weekdays and then I try and take some time off from that on the weekends. So I just give them that right up front so they kind of know what the expectation is.

But then like, I don't update their macros until I see that they've uploaded their weights, that they've, you know, given me feedback. Because like, if I'm totally flying blind and I don't know how everybody's responding, how am I supposed to get them good accurate macro adjustments? Like I have no idea what to go off of if they don't give me

feedback. So like I've got some clients that message me repetitively throughout the day, every day, and I would much rather have that and have that data to be able to build off of and know how they're feeling, know how

they're doing. Then have clients who are not where they want to be hired me, but then would go like a week without responding and I'll like proactively message them like if it's if I'm like in the dark for a few days, I'll shoot them a message about, hey, just checking in, hadn't heard from you in a while. How you feeling? What's your satiety like these macros, What's your energy level like? How's your recovery? How's your training like? I'll proactively message them

and. And you never hear back. Often times I never hear back and I'm just like, like that blows my mind. It's like, look, you are paying me for my expertise to get you where you want to be. Yeah, you know. Absolutely, I have the same exact thing. It it's crazy. It's crazy. There's going to be such a variety in how people communicate and interact with you. Like you'll have people that are to AT they get right back to you.

They give you all the data. They do their weigh insurance, their check insurance, their photos, their feedback, the everything. Like I've clients I don't even, I don't even have to check on them and I know they're nailing their macros to AT within like 1 gram a couple of those clients.

Then I've got people on the other end of the spectrum that I don't even know if they're on track with anything anymore because I haven't heard from them in two weeks and their macros and their dietary logging is all over the board. Nothing's consistent, nothing looks like it's even completed. And they don't look any different. And they're the same ones that are upset with lack of progress. Usually. I'm not putting everybody in a box, but that's typically how that works.

So I mean, what's that saying? We cannot manage what we do not measure. Yeah, what can be measured can be managed. There's some variation there, Yeah, so. Yeah, communication is key in all aspects of life. We still recording Chip. All right, yeah, I've got some friends right now who are going through personal issues, like they're a couple and they're like. Relationship. Yeah, relationship issues and like they'll go 2 weeks without talking to one another like. That's crazy.

It's obvious that's the the issue. The underlying issue is the lack of communication and. Then it just festers into something. Yeah, Oh yeah, man it. Gets blown way out of proportion, then everyone starts overthinking things and then you just you just wander away from each other. It's crazy. Yeah, I mean, like Crystal and I like we'll have our moments too, like any couple does. But like we've pretty much got a rule that we don't go to bed pissed off at each other and just like silent.

And that's, that's kind of like how I, I don't really talk about things. I don't really verbalize things like if I'm super mad or frustrated, I just like go internal and get it figured out. Like I just figure it out. But if it's like with your spouse, then you can't just shut down on them because then they're going to start wondering like, oh, did I do something wrong? Is there an issue here? What do I need to do different?

So like if I've got an issue with her specifically, then I go internal for a bit, figure out the best, most tactful way to speak my mind. But I speak my mind. Like I let her know what's up, what's frustrating, and then we have that conversation and all is well. But like whether it's a freaking client or a coach, your spouse or one of your suppliers or vendors or somebody you're communicating with, like you have to freaking communicate.

Like this is so common sense. Everybody knows this, but you don't do it. It's like blows my mind. The more direct the better. Yeah. Just get it out there. The more direct and I feel like some people are really good at that, being direct or not. Like I don't mind having hard conversations and I don't think I was born. I think that's something you learn. But that's how my my dad was not very good at communicating with me. But whenever he had something, he was very direct when he did

have something to say. So I just went very direct with things and you know exactly where I stand on the matter. Like I feel like that in my mind is way better than beating around the Bush and trying to like not give somebody the cold hard facts. Because like if you know exactly where you stand, then it's all in the open. It's I mean, the air is cleared, you know what the expectation is and it's just boom, cut and dry. Less room for.

Misinterpretation. Misinterpretation, assumption, and and if you don't know, then you start assuming things and then that festers and then you blow it out of proportion and then everybody you know goes downhill. They say when you assume you make an ass of you and me, right? Have you heard that? That's good. I like that and I like that say that so like with you and I like I'm very direct with us. You know like hey man my triceps are bigger than yours.

Hey man, your Mac I. Knew you were gonna say triceps. What about calves? You got me beat on calves for sure. For sure. Songs were direct. But I tell you what, when I get that hip thrust, when I hit thrust, when I get that belt squat, did you ever do belt squad calf raises? Yeah, we did them at Ozark not too long ago. Yeah, but I have done them in the. That's like the bottom man you get.

You can kind of like a donkey calf raise with it, but you get way better stretch with that than anything. Absolutely. Standing. Yeah, so once I get that, I'm gonna beat you on the calves. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Calves are slow to grow though man. My dad gave me large calves. Yeah, it's something that is very commonly inherited. And you were pretty heavy at one

point too. And they say that if you're carrying around a lot of like if you're overweight, then you'd like to have bigger calves because obviously your calves are pushing that weight. But I was never like huge, huge. I mean, I think the heaviest I ever weighed was, you know, two 30s. That's what I was, yeah. I didn't get big calves. But I didn't have, I didn't have nearly the muscle mass. So that 2:30-ish or whatever it was a lot more adipose tissue and not as heavy, nearly the

lean, yeah. Yeah. Interesting. It's just bigger. Yeah, I was not blessed with the big calves or big chest. I got to get my chest out in but that's why I got that standing chest press machine. That's going to be nice. I'm excited to see how that bad. Works. That's going to be a game changer. Are you going to do a deload next week? I'm thinking, so I've been kind of dealing with tight like rhomboid in the middle of my back. Yeah. And I can't get it to really

release. I had a massage, she dug way in and it felt awesome for a good 24 to 48 hours. And then it's just kind of re tightened and I've done some stretching, I've done some foam rolling, I've done, you know, hot cold salon pods, topical, all kinds of stuff. And I wake up in the morning and it's tight as shit and I can't get it to really release. So it's really restricting my range of motion and some of the stuff I can do with my shoulder on that side. So Fast forward to what you just

asked. Yeah, I think I'm thinking I will maybe do a little bit of a lighter intensity deload. I do have another massage coming up first week of April, which I'm super excited for because she's a wizard when it comes to that. So I'm leaving for Washington's hunting retreat next Saturday. Yep, and. You're going to be gone for like a wee almost two weeks, right?

Yeah, almost two weeks and I'm going to train while I'm on the road and there, but it's going to kind of probably be my deload because I'm not going to have my normal gym setting. Sure, but if you do a deload before I leave the week before I leave and I do a deload the week after, what's the best way to structure that? Like are you going to just go to the gym every day still and then just do water intensity?

I might just do well because we're thinking about transitioning into a full body daily split, right? Yeah. So I can just go heavy while you're going light this coming week and then you do your deload and then I'll do mine kind of while I'm on the road. And then when we come back, we'll just transition to full body. Well, how about we just finish out this week as we have it planned and then next week we can reassess, yeah. Yeah that works.

I definitely want you to get healed up though man because it's weird jacked up lifting way more on chest day than you. I can lift way heavier on my right side than my left side right now. Yeah it's crazy. I woke up this morning and my entire delt was like it was flexed as hard as a rock and I can feel it when I move my arm around that. I've had a little restricted range of motion and I've never been one to be injured. Like I've never had like an actual injury while lifting and

this didn't happen as an injury. Like there was no spot in time where I felt something pop or pull or tear or even like pain during a lift. So it's almost like, and I've got a weird spot in that part of my back that I've had since like even high school. And I had someone look at it one time and they're like, oh, you maybe had an injury way back when you were younger and you have some inflammation or something that's kind of scar tissued up or whatever in that

area. So anytime I go get a massage, she always hones in on that same exact spot. I'm wondering if it's something related to that where it's just tight muscle. Some of them won't release. I don't know what the deal is. Have you ever tried like targeted red light therapy for injury? No, I've not. Cuz I've actually got a podcast. The reason I said is I got a podcast today with an owner of a red light company and he gave me one. So I've got like a targeted red light device, but I don't ever

really have acute pain. So I have not been able to like test it out to see if it makes a difference. But I've got it at the house. You want me to just let you borrow that and see if you can notice the difference? Is it just something like a on a stand or a? What? No, it's like it's it's three lights and it's like on a strap, but you got a strap to your shoulder. Yeah, I had it on my neck the

other day. But you could put that on your shoulder, OK, Right there on your central back area and see if it makes a difference at all. I don't know. I'm down. So yeah. Yeah, we're just popping like ibuprofen and whatever. And I'm not a huge fan of pain meds ever. Yeah. And it's the only thing that kind of keep it tame right now, so. Yeah, I don't like pain meds. I haven't taken pain meds in a

long time. When I was, when I was younger, when I was overweight, when I was just eating like crap and feeling like crap, I used to be on ibuprofen for headaches and muscle soreness and all that kind of stuff. And I've since drifted way away from any type of pills, potions, meds, prescriptions. I usually take nothing because I don't have anything to deal with. But. I had surgery once when I was a kid and they gave me Oxycontin. That's a that's a pain reliever,

right? Oxycontin and I think I had one the the day after the surgery, but I couldn't tell the difference from it. So I just threw away the bottle and I used it after that. Just hold on. Just. Kidding. Yeah, I don't know. I just don't like pain meds, man. I like to feel the pain and just like know where my body actually sits as opposed to masking it. Well, I just don't like to put random weird shit in my body. Yeah, you know, that's just hard on your organs, too.

Hard on your organs. All right, man. Well, we've done multiple takes to this podcast. We've got a lot of technical issues. I got a client call in just a few minutes. So to the viewer, to the listener, I apologize. This one didn't flow as good as they will, but we got it done nonetheless. We haven't missed our weekly cadence with it. So we will be back hard and heavy next week. We've been being gone for like a week and 1/2. What are we going to? Do now, yeah, we're going to have to.

Maybe we can preemptively record a couple or something. Yeah, yeah. I might have to do that next. Week we're going to be packaging sold out Primo fudge. Yeah, it will sell out it. Will sell out. Yeah, yeah, Primo Fudge will launch and that'll be a big package day. So we could just for for y'all, because you are in the inside scoop with these the work podcasts. We're going to have a spoof launch on April 1st. We're planning to, we're planning to know what the details.

We can tell these people though, right? Like they can be in the know. Yeah, but we don't know what the details are going. To be yeah, we don't know what the details are going to be, but we're probably going to put out a social post for the people that are ignorant and don't watch the work podcast. They might get excited, probably not that we're going to make it very much so like. An unexciting. It would be something that we definitely would never launch It's.

Going to be like what the is that? To like be in line with the April Fool's launch. So when you see a social media post on the 1st of something totally off the wall that we would never do know that we're not actually doing it to. Be like our highest carb brick ever. Yeah, sweetened with sucralose and table sugar. And Castor oil. And made with soybean oil something. Like that but you say OL. I say oil. We had this conversation the other day.

We have this conversation. It's OL spelled OOIL. It's oil. That's what a goober says Oil. That's how the goober says that's how you pronounce it. Oil. I think you should go Google the pronunciation of OIL well. It just depends who the the commentator narrator is that they're from the South or from the north. Does that hurt? Other people in here in this area say oil, but everyone up north says oil. Yeah, it's definitely oil. Oil sounds more mainly water oil.

Put some motor oil in my oil reservoir. Yeah, oil reservoir. All right, ma'am. Well, that's a ramp on this episode. We'll hit it again next week. Toodles. See ya.
