This is a headgum podcast.

This is the Dumbows, the personal fitness podcast where we, I'm Eugene Cordero.

And me, I'm Ryan Stanger, have discussions and answer questions on all things, health and fitness.

This is solely based on our own working experience and a little bit of bro science.

So please keep you your mind that we're not and he and never claim to be doctors.

Yeah, we're just a couple of the dumbbells who love ourselves some fitnessy and want to help you

with your fitnessy.

And the help can start right.

Nihasi.

Now see who's in the weight room.'s in it brandon gardener hi welcome to the weight room actor writer comedian boom boom boom boom super star recent transplant from new york yeah right yeah uh just over a year just over a year welcome to l a game thick Welcome to LA. Yeah. Thick out the game. Thick out the fucking concrete jungle. How's LA going for you?

It's good. I like it. I made a, I think, smooth transition. A lot of people told me it'll take

six months and I liked it immediately. Liked it immediately? Yeah, I was like this is great.

Were you in like the honeymoon phase and then it just hasn't. Because some people say that it's hard at the beginning. But then there's some people who do the honeymoon phase where they're like, this is great. Nice change of pace, blah, blah, blah. And then that dies down. But now you've been here for about a year. So you know. Yeah, the honeymoon would be over yeah i think so i'd been in new york

11 years so i think i was ready for something different um do you have that thing this happens to

me and my wife a lot where when we know we're about to leave somewhere like um like we're no

longer gonna be you know like hanging out at this place or we're not going to be in New York anymore or whatever.

Like you start realizing the things you hate there.

So it makes it an easier transition.

Oh, that makes sense.

Yeah.

There's a phenomenon too that happens to people as they age.

Or I guess it's a theory that like, I don't know if you have, if you know, like older guys or, you know, I always think like my dad who just talks about how like the world's ending, you know, all the time. Oh, yeah. I'm like, probably not. But it's just this way of like reconciling with death. You're saying that like nothing is as good as it used to be.
