Summary

Okay… this episode goes everywhere.

It starts with a fitness hot take that might make people mad: if women over 40 only have time to lift three days a week… should we just focus on legs? That turns into a whole conversation about muscle, metabolism, longevity, and what actually matters versus what the fitness industry keeps telling us we "should" be doing.

Then Bret and I get into the Dorit and PK divorce mess, the Sports Illustrated influencer debate, why influencers honestly work harder than celebrities, and the Kim Kardashian story that has the internet fighting. We also became fully obsessed with a MrBeast grocery store challenge that somehow turned into a conversation about psychology, marketing, and why YouTubers understand human behavior better than TV executives.

But the part that really hit me was the AI conversation. If you've been feeling weirdly behind lately, overwhelmed by Slack, Asana, Claude, notifications, nonstop messages, and trying to keep up with how fast everything is moving… you are definitely not alone. We got very real about AI burnout, entrepreneur overload, and why all these tools that are supposed to save time somehow make life feel even more chaotic.

0:00.0	What's up, Buttercup? Thanks for tuning in on a Wednesday. We've got some major updates to talk about.
0:07.4	Not just me, though. Brett is here with me, and I want to share a couple of different stories that are in the news because I want his take on them.
0:14.5	We're going to talk about the Sports Illustrated situation with the cover models. We are going to talk about Kim Kardashian, supposedly putting
0:24.1	a man and his daughters into financial ruin. We will also discuss what's going on with AI, where
0:31.5	I think a lot of us just feel like we are going so fast now. And you feel like there's a new AI platform that you have to learn
0:40.3	every other day and every like two months there's like everything you have to unlearn and
0:45.5	relearn and makes us feel like the world is going so fast and how are you coping with that?
0:51.1	I mean there's a whole bunch of things I want to discuss. So if on Wednesdays you are walking, be sure to check your step count.
0:59.5	And as always, thank you for double checking to make sure that you are subscribed to the show as well as a YouTube channel.
1:06.7	We put out new videos every Sunday.
1:09.2	And this Sunday, we've got a great one coming.
1:11.5	All right, without further ado, let's get to it.
1:14.9	Okay, first, I have a hot take on fitness.
1:19.1	That's probably going to get me some blowback, but it's just, I've been thinking a lot about it and doing some research.
1:25.4	Women don't want to spend five days in the gym. Every time I talk to a woman who doesn't
1:31.4	lift regularly, she wants to know, like, what's the minimum number of days? I have to lift weights,
1:36.5	right? So the goal is to get as much muscle as possible at that age. Let's just say she's over 50.
1:46.8	Okay? Let's just say she's over 50. Okay. Let's say she's 40.
1:51.6	She's not trying to be in Sports Illustrated. We'll talk about the Sports Illustrated cover that came out this week. But she wants to like be strong. She wants to have good metabolic health.
1:57.6	So she wants to have to be able to control her blood sugar. She wants to have
2:02.2	decent body fat, all those things. And she's probably not lifting heavy enough. Okay, so here's
2:09.6	what I'm going to say. Go three days a week and just do legs. Don't worry about upper body.
