| 0:00.0 | What up, guys? So today we're going to talk about testosterone, TRT, steroids, gear, whatever you wish to call it, the juice, Mexican supplements, whatever you want to call it, right? It's got a lot of names, but we're going to talk about it. I will share some experiences that I have both from Dr. Times and me being a young, dumb kid without a fully formed neocortex and making decisions without any sort of understanding of long-term health. |
| 0:29.6 | I also share my experiences with TRT and being on it for a few years now so that this way maybe it gives you some sort of |
| 0:38.5 | information to lean on. We'll talk about pros, cons, dangers, and we'll dance around the topic |
| 0:45.9 | a lot. We'll talk about men using it, women using it, whether it's cheating. We'll talk about |
| 0:51.6 | that a bit, and we'll be all over the place. This is not the definitive thing. This is literally me and Eugene talking about it because I know he's got some curiosities about it and I'm always willing to talk about. Like in Jim, I've been asked many times about it from different people and things like that. And I've also, many of you guys have heard me talk about or have contacted the company First Optimal that I started working with, which they do a lot of other stuff besides just TRT. |
| 1:16.6 | But they do TRT therapies for men and women to support them as they get older to make them feel better. |
| 1:23.4 | So anyway, let's get into the day's podcast. |
| 1:25.8 | Big thanks to our sponsors. |
| 1:27.4 | DatsuSara is one of our newest sponsor. You can find them at DSgear.com. They make high quality backpacks, bags. I've got like this fanny pack. Some of the guys saw it in one of the videos. Like when I walk my dog, I've got my like, I've got his treats in there. And I've got his like little poopie bags that I have, right? |
| 1:46.6 | And there it is. |
| 1:47.6 | So that's my, I take that out with me whenever I'm walking the doggy. |
| 1:50.5 | Actually, my, does yours have two pouches in the front? |
| 1:53.3 | Yeah. |
| 1:54.0 | Okay. |
| 1:54.4 | Yeah, yeah. |
| 1:54.6 | So I've got the two pouches in front. |
| 1:55.9 | And so it's got these little guys in the back, too, you can hook it on to stuff. You can hook on your belt and everything else. |
| 2:02.8 | And then they've got the backpack. |
| 2:03.9 | I've been using that sucker. It's a big old backpack. I love it. It's a great backpack. And the thing that's really cool about them and the reason why I feel comfortable sharing with you guys is I have a, I need to go dig them out. but I've got a pair of shorts that I got that were given to me as a gift from a friend, like back in 2012, uh, from, from Datsusar. I think it was 2012, maybe in 2013, but a long time ago. And I wore those things for probably, I saw it six, seven years. Yeah. You know, like at least one, at least once or twice a week and wore them like all the time and they don't have any tears or anything on them i still got them um sometimes like i'll wear them when i go outside and stuff like that i wear mostly my jihitsu gear and stuff now but they're high quality stuff and so again it's not the cheapest stuff ever but you're going to get high quality stuff stuff that will laugh big on that i I like stuff where if I buy it, I don't have to replace it all the time, right? Everybody hates the sort of plan obsolescence, right, where stuff just goes bad. It's designed to break. Everybody hates that, don't you? But, you know, nobody wants to pay a few extra bucks for something nice you know it's it's funny right |
| 3:08.4 | everybody wants everything cheap but then they don't want it to break so i just share that with you |
| 3:11.6 | if you like high quality stuff you like stuff that's going to last you and you want stuff |
| 3:16.0 | that's been really thought thought of check it out the guy we had chris on the podcast he is a |
