| 0:00.0 | Liver King was a very big thing not too long ago. And when he hopped on the scene, he was making a lot of these claims about organs. Eating this way made me a jacked primal. And if you want to be primal like me, you need to eat these foods and cut these certain foods out. And that was clearly not true in terms of how big he was able to get. For some people, they took that when they found out what he did, when he lied, |
| 0:22.6 | they then started to think that that whole idea of that message is now bullshit. |
| 0:26.6 | I hope that when somebody hears me say something, that they're like, oh, I can try to meet what Mark said halfway. |
| 0:35.6 | Because that's the way I usually do stuff. If someone tells me something I haven't really tried before and they're like, hey, maybe |
| 0:40.7 | this would be a good idea for you to go and do that. |
| 0:42.7 | I might be like, all right, let me test the waters out. |
| 0:45.2 | Let me figure out a way to do a couple sprints first before I go out and blow out my hamstring, |
| 0:50.5 | trying 20 sprints. |
| 0:51.5 | It's tough. |

| 1:04.5 | pretty fascinating. I didn't watch the whole thing. My daughter and my wife were watching it and I'd kind of pop in at different times and I was like, |
| 1:16.5 | wow, this is some interesting stuff. And my wife's like, yes, it's a true story and I've learned a little bit more about it. Are you talking about the apple cider vinegar gummies from Bubbs Naturals? |
| 1:21.3 | Those are amazing. Wow. Where can they get? See, just a... Those are so good. That's actually a joke, but keep on. |
| 1:28.2 | I know. |
| 1:28.6 | How come those are so good, though? |
| 1:29.8 | They are actually good. |
| 1:30.8 | We're not sponsored, but they are actually. |
| 1:32.2 | They taste amazing. |
| 1:34.6 | Anyway, yeah, I saw that show going on, and my wife was explaining to me. |
| 1:38.2 | It's a true story about this girl that ended up, I guess, kind of sharing information that she felt that this would help cure cancer for people. I think she... |
