It's that time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Vary show is on the air.

On Friday, Marcus Atrell turned 50 which was the culmination of a 40-day fast no food only water

and when he was feeling indulgent every morning some coffee and a touch of salt in the evening.

I told that last night that if there is anything, anyone wants to ask about that because you want to try a two or three day fast,

let me know and I'll pass it off and amazed how many people will tell you'll die

well he hasn't died he hasn't died best i can tell he's he's still alive but when you when you do

something like this marcus and you are a person who likes to have a goal you have a you have a lot of

intestinal fortitude you're somebody

who sets a goal and can push through pain and things like that have you set another goal for yourself

is there something on the horizon i'll try to be a deacon in the catholic church so i that's my

overall big picture goal and then i'm trying to be, I want to be

a great father to my kids and an example. One of the things that I learned in here is behavior is

always a better example than a lecture. And to lead by that, don't, don't say one thing and do another.

And it's kind of brought me closer to the realization and how I need to do that.

I understand people are worried about how it makes you fit.

It's a scary thing to give up food.

But you can't, I mean, I feel amazing.

My focus and I've never had this kind of energy before, my bones don't creak or ache anymore.

It's an amazing thing that transpired while I was going through it.
