“And then you press it. And it makes like a French press. Yeah. Yeah. So then I went to an AeroPress. I like that one a lot. What's an AeroPress? I use that every day. So with an AeroPress, I boil the water, grind the beans, and then I pour it into this glass tube.”

“And it's one cup. And so that's what I like. Because I was making coffee, like I was doing French press for a while. I had a coffee machine, but the issue is that you're not supposed to really be drinking out of hot plastic. All that shit's plastic. There's plastic. The water goes into plastic.”

“Man, it's just a nice. So you just want volume. I love volume. Then make a French press. It'll taste better. This right here. But then you got to make it every time. What do you? You got to do one cup every day. You don't have a job.”

“cup of coffee with that arrow press thing. But it's the same thing with a French press. You take it, you just get a determined amount, and you can dial the knob on the grinder. It's so easy. Grinders are so simple. So listen, all you do is you take that ground coffee after it comes into the little cup, you pour it into the bottom of the fucking French press, and then you pour the hot water in.”

“Especially once you start actually lifting weights. Pavel Tatsulin, who's the guy who really brought kettlebells to popularity in America. It's Russian cat. And great system of training.”

“And then, you know, obviously I do different kinds of workouts, like the workout I did today. It's all exhaustion stuff. It's all sprinting. It's not like the kettlebell stuff. This is all high altitude, and it's all like maximum intensity on the air dyne bike, maximum intensity on the sled, maximum intensity on the kettlebell cleans.”

“I'm very rarely injured from working out. Very rare. From just kettlebell stuff? Like, very rarely. Right. All right. All right. You're inspiring me to hop back in and start doing it again. I got to, I've really. You just got to get somebody to help you.”

“I like that one a lot. What's an AeroPress? I use that every day. So with an AeroPress, I boil the water, grind the beans, and then I pour it into this glass tube. And the glass tube has a filter at the bottom of it, like in a mesh, like a steel or an aluminum, some kind of metal mesh.”

“It's an all-steel coffee machine, which is what you want. But I've got it down to the Aeropress. The Aeropress, to me, very simple. The minimal amount of parts, it's just a tube, the grinds, the coffee tastes pure.”

“And I'm like, why not do it? For years, American Psycho was the big one, the Bredty Sidnellis novel. Why haven't they made an accurate adaptation? Well, the studios don't want to touch it because it's too violent.”

“And he said that was the closest thing that anybody had gotten to. The books are American Psycho would be very hard to capture the darkness of it because you also are capturing this guy's internal dialogue, you know, which is some of it.”

“And then I realized like, I wasn't as enthusiastic about it anymore. Oh yeah, you got extra cigarettes? Thank you. Yes. Look at that here. Yeah. I knew you might want some. Leave them there for everybody. Yeah, yeah. And then I was also getting brain damage and I was very aware of that.”

“Speed. Boom, boom, boom. Coke. Booze. Cigarettes. All day long. Chain smoking. Chain smoking. Chain smoking. Drunk through the whole fucking day. Popping pills. Doing coke. And the fact that he could still stand and not just stand, choreograph Broadway shows for hours and be that agile and whatever is, that's insane to me.”

“I got to boil it. Dude, I get out of bed. Get an automatic kettle. You get a kettle. Okay. There's literally, I have one that has a setting that says French press on it. It's a steel kettle. Okay. And it works all electronically, so it's regulated temperature and it beeps when it's done.”

“You know what I'm going to get? I'm going to get a boiling pot that you can set a timer on. Yeah, they're easy. They're electronic kettles. They sell them online. And they have like settings for tea, settings for this, settings for hot cocoa. You know, it's like five or six different settings or something like that, depending on the model.”

“then you do the sled and you push the sled or you do backwards on the sled and it's got varying resistance and you do them in these 50 second, 40 second and then 30 second sprints.”

“It's all exhaustion stuff. It's all sprinting. It's not like the kettlebell stuff. This is all high altitude, and it's all like maximum intensity on the air dyne bike, maximum intensity on the sled, maximum intensity on the kettlebell cleans. You're beating yourself up because you're only doing it for 50 seconds or 60 seconds, 40 seconds, and then 30 seconds.”

“So that thing, that is. The French press is so easy. You're talking about making it hard. This right here, this is an all-metal French press. No plastic parts at all. It's the fucking easiest thing in the world, dude. So this can make a full pot, though. Yes. Okay. Well, then that's this is, and this is not expensive.”

“I love Jay Carver. Jay Carver's amazing. Amazing. Their steak is different. Jeffree's steak, like Jay Carver's steak is he's using one of those Argentine grills. So it's all live fire over wood. Delicious flavor. Yeah. Yeah. But man, there's like another level.”

“Yeah. Yeah. It's the fucking potato chip thing. Well, it's the other thing, you know, this avocado oil scandal that's going on right now. So all these people that are buying things made with avocado oil that they think, oh, this is going to be super healthy. Turns out a lot of these corporations are fucking you over and they're using seed oils and fucking safflower oil and”

“So then when other things that are seemingly hard come up, you're like, oh, this ain't shit compared to a cold plunge. This ain't shit. I just did a workout, a hypoxia workout.”

“And in our mind, we think, oh, you have to go to failure in order to get stronger. And again, we're talking about very specific things, getting stronger, using kettlebells, especially, but you could do dumbbells and other things as well. If you're now, if you're doing something else, like if you're trying to get maximum amount of bench press, if you're”

“This ain't shit. I just did a workout, a hypoxia workout. And so it's at, I have a box in my studio that goes to, it takes all the air out. So it puts you at the equivalent of 15,000 feet above sea level.”

“They change the ingredients, make it cheaper. Did that happen with, is it Rao's R-A-O's pasta sauce, Raos? Rao's. Yeah, yeah. Rao's got bought by, I think like whoever makes Ragu or whatever, Nabisco or some shit.”

“We're talking. He can breathe. He can talk. He's running at a good clip. Got in the sauna with me. Did the whole thing. When I first met him, he's 500 pounds. He couldn't barely make it up the stairs to the comedy club. He couldn't walk up the stairs. Now he's fit. Now he's healthy.”

“Now he's running on the treadmill. He did six miles when we came in to do a podcast. We're all working out together. And he's fucking running on the treadmill while we're talking. We're talking. He can breathe.”

“Yeah. Maybe pack the chips and chip them properly. No, no, we can't do that. Have you ever had those Vandy Chips? No, what's Vandy? Oh, they're chips made with beef tallow. Okay. They're just cooked in beef tallow. It's just beef tallow and salt and potato chips.”

“Just enough, just to get the blood moving. Walking is fucking great. You know what's really great? Walking with a weighted vest. Not that hard to do. Put a 20-pound vest on, 25-pound vest on, walk around the block. It's fucking great for you. There's a lot of different things that you could do that don't crush you.”

“I'll do this. I'll do that. No, I have a whiteboard. I write down on the whiteboard. This is what we're doing. And then you just do it. Yeah. I had a list in my phone. These are your exercise, 20 reps of each of these. And I just kept adding exercises.”
