I'll get it before and do my thing I
have to have it though I have all this
energy you could tell can you tell yes
the energy is here I gotta burn it up
this is after the workout okay so before
you got an imagined and but I have five
different gym memberships everywhere
just so it's just in case I can get a
workout here I ones a 24 hour membership
the other one is we're on set I got one
for a nice gym I got one when I want to
get down and dirty you know it's like
you know style to my day is all just
workout or is this like whole lifestyle
like is it food is it supplements like
what are you what do you take in well
you know one thing I do this
intermittent fasting thing I only eat
from an eight-hour period from 2:00 p.m.
to 10:00 p.m. and then I'm done and it's
like a 16 hour fast at a long meal
though 2 to 10 oh no yeah right
I don't stop eating during that whole
period of time but the thing is it's
more than actually getting stuff out
your breakfast I don't do breakfast at
all and I workout fast it in kind of
wild but I'm 49 you drink coffee or
anything I drink the Dutch coffee and
tea and then I have like amino acid
drink that kind of thing to keep those
yeah you know the blood flowing but yeah
you know my thing is being 49 and you
know I grew up in a gym so all those
guys are like yeah you gotta eat 17
meals a day like ever and I realized
that you just get you keep getting
bigger and bigger and bigger and I
decided let me just you know reverse
this thing and it works for me I've been
doing it for five years it's amazing
how's it
now uh as your family's motivated as you
are because you you like you're a living
embodiment of getting it done every day
how's your family feel about this level
of energy all I am a motivation machine
okay but my family is really sick of it
they're really tired
uh uh you know I had I found this great
quote the other day was from
Michelangelo and he was like please God
help me to desire more than I can
accomplish and I was like oh that's my
new saying so I went around saying and
stuffing it I said why don't you desire
to get your sweaty clothes up off the
floor okay my wife was done she's like

but I grew up in artist I was an artist
I saw no difference between being an
athlete and an artist I would have a
painting in the showcase in high school
on my way to football practice and it
was so funny because I go to practice
and I go in the classes and the little
girls are wearing black and they're so
sad I'm like hey are y'all doing that's
