0:00.0	Hey everybody welcome back to the mind of the warrior dock with you here as always and as always this
0:17.6	podcast is brought to you by Greybeard Performance the Life and Lifestyle brand for
0:21.7	dudes over 40 who want to continue to be savages in the second half of their life.
0:27.0	And you know what, it's not the second half of your life.
0:29.2	It's the last two-thirds of your life.
0:32.2	You can, let's be honest honest you can probably hit 120 and you
0:35.8	should go for it and the way you're going to do that is by taking Greybeard performance
0:39.3	longevity formula twice a day every day it's going to keep you in the fight, keep you as a savage,
0:45.2	you're going to get more quantity and quality out of life and I know that's what you want.
0:51.0	Very special guest with me today, been a long time coming. You know him as Mike the
0:55.8	cop. Mike Edwards, how are you doing brother? Good man, thank you for having me. I needed to get on that longevity man. I'm feeling it after after Jiu-Jitsu yesterday man I'm feeling it today I had to take some time I'm getting a total hit
1:10.1	Oh my gosh yeah it's they told me three years ago I needed to get it done and I won't get too in depth because the listeners already know this but and I put it off put it off and you know because I'm not going to say it was solely because of my longevity
1:24.9	formula, but you know, that certainly had something to do with it that I was able to kind of stave it off.

1:38.2	And it got to the point that Jiu-Jitsu was getting harder and harder. And I cut that out actually right before I went over to Poland and Ukraine and then since I've been back, it's actually
1:46.0	harder and harder just to do my regular workouts. I'm having a lot more bad days than good days now, but the good news is I got a great orthopedic
1:54.4	surgeon and he and I talked about what he's going to do and I told him I said I know
1:59.4	I'm 56 but I want you to pretend I'm 36 and pretend I'm 36 and I want to compete in cross-fig games and that's the hip that I want and he kind of made it even he has mask on but I could tell even under his mask he was like making a face and I'm like I believe in you you can do this
2:15.3	and he's like all right man I said hey you're gonna get a great case report out of it because I'm gonna continue to do
2:20.0	amazing things with this new hip. So hopefully that would be the case. I think it will. It was funny though he brought the hip, the model of the hip in to show me and it was exactly like that episodes of the Simpsons. He okay here it is whoa and it like came apart
