| 0:00.0 | We want to give you our best purchases that have had the highest return on investment in terms of things we've got. |
| 0:05.4 | Even if they're cheap, things that have really improved our quality of life. |
| 0:08.5 | We thought you'd enjoy that. |
| 0:16.8 | What's going on, everybody? |
| 0:18.3 | Welcome to the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast. I'm your |
| 0:22.7 | coach and host Josh here with his co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in the house. And we thought |
| 0:29.9 | this was a fun episode. I said to Kyle, I've been thinking about this a lot because I guess I'm |
| 0:34.6 | kind of spoiling one of my future ones. But this water bottle and it's funny,, I have such a weird tick. Whenever I remind my clients to hydrate, I'll grab this and show them the water bottle. I don't know why I need to physically show them. And I've actively tried to stop doing it. But here I am showing it to you. Shout out to the video gang. But this water bottle is like the newer clean canteen. I've had another one. I still have it. And I was given this as a gift in 2013 for my father-in-law, which is crazy. And like this was my first time just having a water bottle I really liked. I really took care of it. I didn't lose it. I've had it forever. And like because of that, I've drank so much more water. It saved me from going out and like just buying these water bottles. I actually used to do this thing. When I was in university, I used to always buy a $1.25 plastic liter water bottle because I was downtown for school and I commuted about an hour, hour and a half to get to school. So it's such a mess. I'd always go buy this water bottle and there's honestly a pretty |
| 1:27.6 | good price, but it was kind of ridiculous and redundant when I could have just had a canteen. I know this seems so foreign. It's so obvious now because everyone's got their Stanlies and their fancy straws and all this different stuff. But if you don't have a nice water bottle, you are missing out. And I guess I'm going to make that my number one because to me it just makes hydration easy. |
| 1:46.8 | It's always there. you don't have a nice water bottle, you are missing out. And I guess I'm going to make that my number |
| 1:44.2 | one because to me it just makes hydration easy. It's always there. And like having one that's |
| 1:48.8 | slightly larger just makes it easier to be on top of it because you're like, oh, I got to drink a lot of |
| 1:53.5 | this water. I want to get through it. And we just wanted to get into this episode today with like |
| 1:57.8 | things like this that may be obvious, but we've been doing this for a long |
| 2:01.4 | time. We power lifted. We bodybuild. We've shredded. We've shred. We've balked. So we want to give you our best purchases that have had the heart, the highest return on investment in terms of things we've got. Because like even this, I had this on top of my truck while I buckled in my son on the bed of the truck. If you have a truck, you might know. I drove away with it. I was like, oh, no, I don't have my |
| 2:20.9 | water bottle. I was so sad and if you can see it it's actually all dinged up from falling off my truck and Kyle was still at chipoli thank goodness and I'm like yo can you go look for it and you ran onto the road and got it for me. It probably got run over by a car. It's pretty funny. I've cleaned it many times since then, |
| 2:35.3 | so don't judge me. But case in run over by a car. It's pretty funny. I've cleaned it many |
| 2:34.3 | times since then, so don't judge me. But case and point, we just want to share, like, even if they're cheapies, things that have really improved our quality of life. And like, we're, we're debating making another episode on things that are overrated because there's a lot of things. I've had a home gym. I bought really fancy gym gear. I bought like super technologically new cool stuff. |
| 2:52.9 | Like so we could do that to you, but we just want to give you like no BS things we've liked. There's no affiliate links. There's no silliness. So we thought you'd enjoy that. And that was my first one. We'll pass it off to Kyle now. Yeah, that one is so important. It was so funny getting that call from josh i'm like i know how much he values |
| 3:07.8 | this water i will find it if i'd have to retrace every step i will get that water ball for him and he |
| 3:12.8 | had to get a new lid but hey he's making it work and a lot of people drink so little water even |
| 3:18.1 | myself when i don't have it i'm like i forget right like if i'm at home even if i use like a smaller |
