Hello, power athletes. John is away for the holidays, so I chauncy am here to share some of our best moments from this year.

If you're a fan of John McPhee, Chris Summer, or Judd Linehart,

then stick around because we have their best fucking moments coming up. Buckle up. Here's John

McPhee. Dude, the places that Reginative Medicine are going are exciting. You know,

Adele Khan had that event for Eternah, his company, on exciting you know adele con had that event for

eterna his company uh on you know life extension and you know these guys got up and said it's very

real we have the genetics to live to about 120 years the problem is is you get to 120 you're

fucking 120 so nobody wants to make it that far because you're old as fuck so the goal is could

you freeze your age at 40 to 50 and then make it to 120? Would you take that bet? Yeah. Like 100%. If I could stay like physically like I am now to 120, I'd fucking take that bet. Actually, I'd want them to turn me back till I didn't have white hair and then I'd want to live there forever. Who wants to be fucking? Like a vampire. Dude, if I could be 26 till I'm 120, I'll take that. 100%.

Well, so the... I'm there forever. Who wants to be fun? Like a vampire. Dude, if I could be 26 until I'm 120, I'll take that.

I don't know if that's bullshit because I think all those Hollywood guys get a lot of work done. But I think that's what it really comes down to.

Because I, like, I think for people like us who did something, you know, like you're in the military, you know, tier one. I played, you know, obviously football, but people that are like high

level performers, you need something that just because you're not in that environment or that

theater anymore doesn't mean that that doesn't turn something off. And this was something

that I never realized, and actually I told Shang-J on the podcast recently, like I didn't know that I was missing that part. Like when I retired from the NFL, I figured like that part of my life was kind of like, just kind of put it away. And then when I got back in and when I went to go do that course with Craig and, you know, I'm out there 101 fistfighting dudes. And I was like, fuck, man, like, I need to get my skills back. And on top of it, like, I need to learn some ground game.

And when I got into Jits, I was like, fuck, man, like, this is, this is scratching a

competitive itch and like a little bit of violence that I knew I needed that, unfortunately,
