| 0:00.0 | Hi guys, it's Tony Robbins. You're listening to Habits and Hustle. Crush it. |
| 0:07.0 | All right, you guys, we have the one and only Ben Greenfeld on. Feld, Feld, Feld. Feld. I think Feld does sound pretty cool. I need to go by that like a, like a spy. |
| 0:18.7 | I thought it was in World War II, going into kill Hitler, Ben Greenfeld. Yeah, but you're not even Jewish. It's, I thought it was in World War II, going in to kill Hitler, Ben Greenfeld. |
| 0:23.0 | Yeah, but you're not even Jewish. It's my new identity. Well, that could be your like alter ego. We could just do a whole podcast about how we would assassinate Hitler. I would love that. Well, he's not. Well, you know the whole theory about that. There's like a butterfly effect. somebody had killed him. |
| 0:36.1 | Somebody worse might have come up in his stead or, you know, |
| 0:39.2 | because there's a whole moral philosophical argument of like, is murder wrong? And would you, if so, would you go back in time? And if you had the opportunity like kill Hitler when he was a baby. And this is a really weird way to start a podcast, talking about how we would chill Hitler, but if my name was Greenfeld, |
| 0:55.6 | we have a lot of energy drinks here. I know. A lot of just drinks in general. Well, first of all, that's actually, I don't know where you got that one from. Your refrigerator. Oh, okay. I don't know what that is. We usually start this podcast with these magic mine shots, and I'm sure you've had a million of them before have you not I always |
| 1:11.3 | look at the ingredient label okay look well I got lots of stuff in front of me no this is a protein drink |
| 1:17.1 | this is slate protein drinks have you not you don't know about this no I thought you know about |
| 1:22.8 | everything bad no I live in a cave slash do have a lot of stuff in my mini fridge in the garage, but some of the stuff just slips me by. |
| 1:31.5 | I always like to look at the ingredient label, though, like this one, caramel latte, because a lot of people see the stuff that they're told us held. |
| 1:39.3 | Hopefully I don't throw any of your sponsors under the bus talking about this stuff. |
| 1:42.5 | No, you can't. |
| 1:43.1 | Actually, this is one of these companies that I drink at least one a day and I like it. But so you tell me what you think. Okay. So this one, when you look at the ingredient label, it's brewed coffee, water and coffee. So the only thing I think about there when I'm looking at cans and ingredients is do they filter the water? Do they look at the aluminum lining of the can? Have they assessed it for microplastics, et cetera? Yeah. And sometimes that's not on the label. So you literally have to ask. Like, you know, a really popular company, Zivia. Yeah, of course. It does the, it's not artificially sweetened soda. Stevia Sweet and Soda. Mm-hmm. I interviewed their CEO years ago. And that was one of the first questions I asked was, do you guys pay attention to the cans? Yeah. Because you can have a super healthy drink and then just screw it up by putting it in the wrong delivery mechanism. He was like, yeah, we go aluminum free and we test it for metals. I thought that was cool considering you could it in like Safeway or Rosars or whatever, which a lot of times means they would be cutting corners. So you don't know about the can necessarily. But what did he say? He said he was good. Yeah, it was clean. Yeah, but it was, it's an aluminum can. It is, but you can have some kind of like a liner inside the can that keeps the metals from leaching. Could you actually prove that they do that, though? You could do a third party independent test on the can itself if you wanted to. Right, but you never did that. I didn't do it. I did take him out his word, but I think he's lying a podcast and say he's a load because that could blow up in your face if somebody actually does. If actually someone did it. Test it later on. So they've got brood coffee, unfiltered skim milk. |
| 3:09.9 | And when you look at, this is one of the terms that I sometimes don't like in the health |
| 3:17.2 | industry, lean protein, right? |
| 3:19.7 | Because you hear about eggs, for example, right? |
| 3:22.0 | If you eat just egg whites, you get a huge dose of albumin, |
| 3:25.6 | the protein in egg whites, and many people have an inflammatory response to just eating egg whites. |
| 3:30.8 | When you look at eggs as nature is perfectly packaged protein that include the fat soluble |
| 3:36.5 | vitamins, which also can help out with the vitamin absorption, with the protein absorption, et cetera. |
| 3:42.0 | Then you've got a little bit more of a cleaner profile. |
