| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up? It's Ben Greenfield. I got to tell you between hoisting kettlebells up to my shoulders doing obstacle course races and generally just being a kind of clumsy guy. |
| 0:11.5 | My watch face looks like frickin' scorched earth. |
| 0:16.9 | I usually wear a digital watch for just about everything because it's got a little chronograph on it. |
| 0:22.7 | I don't use like Apple Watch. I don't use one of these like Bluetooth enabled self-quantification fancy watches. |
| 0:28.7 | I just have a plane J and watch, plane J and digital watch. |
| 0:31.7 | But recently I started wearing a nice watch. Like when I do things like go to conferences and speak on stage or go to church, you know, with my hair all slipped back, |
| 0:43.7 | looking like a big boy wearing real clothes, not sitting at home in my underwear. |
| 0:48.7 | And I've actually gotten a lot of compliments on this new watch that I'm wearing. It looks like a million bucks. And it actually works. It ticks. |
| 0:57.7 | Like a fine watchmaker's watch should tick. And it's got this like classic old-school-y, I guess like you'd call it like almost like a mad man kind of design. |
| 1:07.7 | I think mad men is the TV show. I think I'm thinking of from the 40s or the 50s or the 60s or I'm beginning to delve into my complete ignorance of pop culture now. |
| 1:18.7 | Anyways though. So the watch that I'm using is produced by this company called movement. M-V-M-T movement. And what they do is they design these revolutionary new watches that look like a million bucks. |
| 1:33.7 | And they actually cut out the middle man. They give the watch straight to you. And they start at just 95 bucks for a watch you'd normally pay $400 to $500 for. |
| 1:44.7 | And I gotta tell you, having a nice watching a wrist actually makes you feel like a little bit of a bad ass. I gotta say. |
| 1:51.7 | So I dig them and now they are giving everybody listens to this show a 15% discount. Just in time for Christmas-ish season. Just saying. |
| 2:00.7 | With free shipping and with free returns. So to get that deal, here's what you do. Go to M-V-M-T watches.com slash Ben. That's M-V-M-T watches.com slash Ben. |
| 2:15.7 | And this watch has a really clean design. I've been getting a lot of compliments on it. So now you can step up your watch game. It's time to step up your watch game. See what I did there? |
| 2:24.7 | Okay. Movementwatches.com slash Ben. M-V-M-T watches.com slash Ben. And now let's jump in with Dr. Thomas Cowan. And everything your doctor doesn't actually know about your heart. |
| 2:40.7 | In this episode of the Ben Reef of Fin the Show. |
| 2:43.7 | They said the human being is just a pure mechanical object. It just works with mechanics. There's no such thing as life. |
| 2:51.7 | We might as well study it in a dead body because it's all the same. And that was how we started thinking and doing medicine and science ever since. |
| 3:00.7 | A heartbeat is the expansion of expandable walls and then a passive contraction. There's no bush needed which also makes it very easy for a muscle to do that for 80 years, 24 hours a day, you know, 360 days a year. |
| 3:15.7 | He's an expert in human performance and nutrition. Voted America's top personal trainer and one of the globe's most influential people in health and fitness. |
