Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Suzanne, what's happening?
Good to see you, my friend.
Oh, it's good to see you.
You look lovely.
Oh, thanks.
You look invigorated.
Thank you.
Well, I went to the gym and, you know, been eating well.
I don't know.
Nice.
Trying to take care of the vessel.
Yesterday was my first day that I didn't work out for a whole month because we
did that
Sober October thing.
Yeah.
Worked out every day of the week.
So do you, is that not your usual, your norm?
Not usually, but I kind of did it in September to get ready for October to just
like get my
body conditioned.
Right.
To this idea that we're going at it every day.
Do you, and do you guys have like a contest of like who burns the most calories
or something?
We can't have a contest because we just get too stupid because Bert drives me
crazy and
then I go psycho.
Okay.
So we've decided no more contests because we did a contest that one year and we
went,
we went insane.
I was doing cardio like seven hours a day.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Because it was a contest.
See, how did you do, and you did a podcast and you have a family?
You just, yeah, I'll just get up in the morning and bang out seven hours of
cardio.
What time do you get up?
Then I was getting up at like seven, so it was seven and I was just going
straight.
I just have some caffeine and go straight to the gym.
That's impressive.
But I was just, it was psychotic.
We were just in competition with each other.
It was totally unsustainable.
I don't have that edge of like, I mean, I can power through some stuff.
Like I was actually working out on it for a little bit and I liked it, but
after like
the two hour workout and then like we didn't stretch, you know, and then I'd
like go home
and stretch and I was like, I just didn't have that much time in my day to
dedicate to
it, but like, it's impressive that you can just power through your discomfort.
If like, if you don't want to go, you still go.
Yeah.
I'm not good at that.
No.
No.
That's the key.
I know.
The key is to like not have a way out.
And one of the things about this contest thing, or well, this sober October
thing wasn't a
contest, but we had to do a 500 calorie workout every day.
That's fucking crazy.
So you had to burn 500 calories, which is if you do sprints on the Airdyne
machine, it
takes about 45 minutes to hit 500 calories.
Oh, okay.
So it's 45 minutes of 20 second sprints, 10 second rest, 20 second sprint, 10
second rest.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Or you could lift weights, which is way easier, but that's more like an hour
and a half.
That's my favorite mode.
Lifting weights?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's the best results for me too.
Like I hate running, but if something happens in my life and I'm like enraged,
I'll just run
five miles without even blinking.
I will just like blackout run because I'm so mad.
Well, running is like one of the best things to alleviate anxiety.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I can see that.
Yeah.
You just get that.
Yeah.
Because if you really push really hard, it sort of rings out all the shit in
your body.
It's all the fucking tensions.
Yeah.
Like a washcloth just rings it out.
Do we ever talk about Dr. John Sarno's healing back pain?
Yeah.
There's like some, like some of it's, some of it is very applicable and some of
it is
like, all right, I could probably also have a back problem.
Yeah.
I think both of those things are true.
Like I heard people talking about it in a very like factual way.
Like your back pain is all mental.
Like no.
Right.
Some people have bulging discs and they push against their nerves and they have
real problems.
Sure, sure, sure.
Yeah.
And then some people do have some weird sort of psychological thing where they're
like tensed
up and their back is fucked up and it's all in their mind.
Well, I've definitely had like in the middle of like an argument with a family
member, like
all of a sudden my neck just starts locking and like down my shoulder blade.
It's like a specific area.
Yeah.
With a specific familial wound.
Isn't it funny how, if you look back on those moments though, like how trivial
they really
all are.
Oh, sure.
Those things that fuck you up and get you tense and get you mad.
Yeah.
Like in the overall scheme of things.
Yeah.
Are you in the contemplate your death once a day and then everything, the whole
landscape
of your worries changes?
No.
I don't do a lot of that.
Yeah.
I do that sometimes.
Contemplate your death.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm like, oh, none of this shit matters then.
I mean, definitely most of it doesn't matter.
It's just in the moment, it seems like it matters because it's the most
pressing thing
that's on your mind currently.
And, you know, especially if you don't have power over what's happening or
something's
going on that's beyond your control.
It's overwhelming sometimes.
So it becomes your primary focus.
I got really good at stuff like that.
Well, not really good.
I don't want to toot my own horn.
But my husband is a, he's a tough guy and because he's had to be.
And he has taught me so much about boundaries, which have been lacking for most
of my life.
And setting boundaries for other people?
And for myself as well.
But like having this like somewhat of a doormat kind of life, me being the doormat,
because I love everybody so much.
So I get myself into trouble with, you know, wanting to help, I guess.
And then like getting in this like washing machine of dysfunction, you know,
with my family
or, you know, like not the right kind of friend.
And I started getting good at like saying, hey, this is how, this is where I'm,
I'm drawing
a line.
I love you, but this is the line.
And my, my worries have changed in my dedication to that, which was really hard,
you know, because
you don't want to, I don't want to let people down.
How many people are you having to let down?
Quite a few.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well, you're very nice.
That's probably part of the problem.
If you're very nice, one of the things that happens is you, the people use you
as their solution.
Correct.
Yeah.
Which is not fun.
And I want to help because I know a lot of stuff and I want to share it.
And then, and then they get mad at you still, like you kind of become like this
mother figure
thing.
But I'm, I'm, you know, I'm learning about myself too.
And, and, and what that means for me and, and my ego and, and like, it's, it's
very humbling.
But, you know, I've kind of got like a pit bull for a husband who helps, you
know, defend
me against those poor choices.
Well, that's good though.
It's nice.
You got someone looking out for you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's, that's important in life.
You know, sometimes you see the way people live their life and you're like, oh,
well,
I got to get more of that in me.
Like, well, how do I do more than that?
And like, if you live with the person, it's like, if it's your husband, like,
it's easier
to model.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, he does it.
I'm going to fucking do that too.
Look, he's right.
Look at, there you go.
Yeah.
And then it's like.
Well, we balance each other out in that way.
Like I, I soften him up a little bit and he toughens me up and it's nice.
That's good.
Yeah.
That's the yin and yang of life, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I love it.
It's nice.
It's nice and it works out.
It sucks when people are two yins or two yangs and just fucking or they, you
know, accentuate
each other's mental illness.
Oh, my God.
Fucking A.
A lot of relationships.
It really is.
Yeah.
Every day is like the dedication is balanced.
Like is, you know, whether we're up against our own discord or the world, you
know, like
you could pick up your phone, right?
And just be like set off in seconds into some labyrinth of someone else's
thoughts or agenda.
And I'm just so over it.
I'm so over it.
And then you have to come to the realization that some people never fix any
problems.
They just have new ones.
Oh, absolutely.
And those people that's like, this is like a fundamental error in the way they
approach
life and your help is not going to fix that.
I think that's the same people that are still obsessed with COVID.
They moved it to something else.
And then they moved it to COVID, which was like this undeniable wet blanket of
escapism.
Because you could get, everybody can get, you can all get mad.
And then blame it on other people.
Yeah.
Fucking over that too.
Yeah.
I'm so over it.
Yeah.
It's interesting seeing even people that were like hardcore vaccine advocates
that are now
saying if they had known that it didn't stop transmission, didn't stop
infection, and, you know,
only lasted X amount of months, they wouldn't have done it.
Sure.
They really weren't at the same risk level that they thought they were at when
all that
shit was being forced on people.
Now the CDC is recommending it for kids.
Oh, it's so stupid.
Putting it as far as like the kids vaccine schedule.
Well, that's because that's that liability thing.
Do you know about that?
Like the reason that they got that approval is so it like covers their asses
for some long
game liability if there's side effects to it.
I'm kind of butchering that.
But there's some some legalized upside to them making it a mandate or, you know,
a recommended
vaccine for children along with polio or, you know, tetanus.
It's it's really fucked up.
Where was I listening to that?
I think it was no agenda.
Yeah.
Sounds like no agenda.
But I just butchered it.
So sorry, guys.
Adam's the man.
Yeah.
They're both great.
Yeah.
I love that, dude.
It's but yeah, that it's probably part of it.
There's probably some sort of legal reason why they're doing it.
I'm just kind of I think it's interesting, you know, now that there's this like,
you know,
amnesty thing with covid, like trying to just be like, let's just all say we're
sorry.
And, you know, like people had to watch their dying loved ones pass on their
iPhones and
shit.
And like, I'm not I'm not like, I don't know, I was already over it.
Like my industry, like I'm not vaccinated.
So I got, you know, I lost tours.
I had like a good deal of momentum that was taken out of my last record, which
really sucked.
But I'm really glad I made the choice I did.
And, you know, nobody's nobody's like, nobody's like knocking on my door to
apologize or anything.
Not that I need it.
Well, it was just a weird time.
Yeah.
You know, there's so many people that had such a high level of anxiety already.
And then covid came along.
And that was just overwhelming for them to deal with this existential threat
that you can't control.
That's everywhere.
And it's invisible.
I mean, they had all the all the elements that you needed to really freak
people out.
They were already afraid.
And some people just aren't that resilient.
No, they're not.
You really can see that now.
I feel like I lost a lot of good guys out there.
Not really.
I don't think you did.
But the people that you lost from that, it's like, you know, come on.
Well, you know, at this point, I'm amazed at the like snowball of, you know,
fear and the way people were so easily controlled.
And then you throw in your like freedom of speech.
And now you can't say you can't talk about it.
You can't talk about this, this or this without people going nuclear on you and
like getting a whole gang of maniacs who disagree.
It's like, why can't you just disagree?
Yeah.
You know, like it's pretty.
Yeah, it's it's it's pretty, you know, Orwellian.
And also I've been reading a lot of Greek mythology lately and it's just like a
Greek tragedy, you know, like the madness of the gods, you know, and then like,
you know, COVID kind of became this god that made people nuts.
You know, this like an invisible force.
Like a curse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That, you know, created a cult following.
It also exposed a serious problem that people have with their own personal
health.
Absolutely.
So many people just don't take care of themselves.
And those are the people that were the most stressed out because they had the
most to
