“It was a lot of fun. I'm so happy, especially all the questions about prize finding championships and to have a person who actually lived in Japan as well. So that's always refreshing.”

“Different targets because you don't fight multiple people. No, one head, one body with targets on it. You hit that thing. There's no impact for your joints. You're going to leave all your joints nice and smooth. And you can hit it like a real person. It's a real fun little thing to watch. So Google that as well, please.”

“Like I said, that seven skills to save your life with a mere press, you should really YouTube this guy so you have an idea what he can do. He's a bizarre. So craftmaga.com slash boss B-A-S. Then you can go to that site. Then the breathing for warriors.com. Go to that course. Check it out. There's nothing on the market like that. And people, by the way, if you do, Belizevrenich, Stick Sevrinsen, Wimhof, Stanislav Grof, Boteko Tech, there's so many different reading programs. It doesn't matter. This makes it better. Why? Because you're working out the muscles responsible for breathing. They will teach you the technique. This will give you the endurance and the power in order to do it. And the last thing I have is the body action system, B-A-S. Body Action System is a punching and kicking device that I created like 11 years ago. And that's going really well. The UFC actually sells it now as well. And you can beat the crap out of it and it won't break. And it's like a real head, not like.”

“Once I started doing that, it became six and a half minutes. So then I went to decrease the size. I give you another one. If you go all the way back on my Facebook page, there's a Facebook page called Boss Rutens O2 Boot Camp. It's for all O2 trader users. Bos Rutens O2 Bootcamp. You can go all the way back to 2018, May 2018. This is where I started. That setting I used, it took me, it was setting number four with the new auto train. Setting number four, it took me three minutes and 45 seconds to complete 30 repetitions. Two years later, just for fun, I said to my wife, I'm going to use that same setting again because now I was much stronger. I did with the same setting. I did it at 55 seconds. So I went from three minutes and 45 seconds to 55 seconds. That's a 75% increase. It's bizarre. So that's what happens when you train your breathing muscles. And once you train them, they don't have to steal blood anymore from your other muscles.”

“Like every fighter is jealous of Tony Ferguson. Tony Ferguson, why are they jealous of him? Because he's the guy with the unlimited stamina. Now, watch Tony go back to the corner. Sit there. Watch other fighters. Watch Tony. There's no movement. Only his belly moves. So all these fighters, they believe they have to do three times a week, four times a week an hour breathing exercise. Guys, I'm talking about four minutes a day. And if you're a professional fighter, make it five minutes. And do it before a workout, which you're going to do anyway. Warm up your diaphragm and you watch after 30 days, watch your muscles get trained. It's resistance training. It's weight training for your breathing muscles. See it like that, you know, and you want to have to find a cap that you can do it. Oh, this is another thing. This is important, Tim. Don't fall in the trap that you want to do the smallest setting right away.”

“On one day because then the front breathing, if you try tack it twice, they can rest the next day when you attack the back muscles twice. You see what I mean? Because otherwise it's like biceps every day. Eventually the bearship is going to stop because they need rest in order to get stronger. Rest and protein. That's what they need. And it's the same with the breathing muscles. You're going to feel it immediately. I always want to say if you're a professional fighter,”

“Thing is that you automatically start breathing correctly. I had a SWAT guy officer who said he used the O2 trader today. The next day he was running and he broke his running time. And he says, that's impossible. He says, but he said, but Boss, then I started thinking about it. I was breathing wrong. And the Oto trader forced him to use his core. And the next day when he was running, he was using his core. Therefore, he got more oxygen in it. That's for one day. You do this for 30 days. You program your mind, especially if you do it early in the morning. It's like the book, the world's greatest salesman, right? You have to read that three times a day. Takes 10 months to read. I did that, you know, because once you do that in the morning, first thing in the morning, in the middle, and then before you go to sleep, you realize for 30 days within 12 days, you memorize the whole thing. It's crazy. You ingrain it in the mind. And it's the same thing here with your muscles. You do it the first thing you get up. If you really want to take it to the next level, do it in the evening as well. If you do it twice a day, and especially for a big trip like you're going to do, Tim, you want to do both same exercise.”

“Breathing since I came out of the womb, you're breathing wrong. If I was breathing wrong, fighting professional fights, chances are you are too. And those 5% who are breathing correct probably have breathing classes. That's the difference.”

“And that's when everything started getting better. For the people who are really interested and want to dive into breathing, we came out this week Breathing for Warriors.com. Go there. It's everything you need to do. Because what I'm saying now is the tip of the iceberg. But once you watch that and you see what you can do with breathing, she gets you into some breathing exercises that get you high without drugs. You start tinkling like crazy. It's really crazy what you can do. And if you wouldn't think about it also, if you want to meditate, right? Meditation, think about it. Why do you think in Aramaic and Latin and in the Hebrew language, the word breath is the same as spirit. Spirit and breath are the same words, but it's all because it has a connection. So if you want to meditate, get your breathing in perfect form because once that happens, I mean, sky is the limit. You can take up to five times more oxygen. People have no clue. We all think, oh, I've been.”

“She comes at the office at Fifth Avenue. She's going to measure my chest expansion. So I knew what she was doing right away. So she says, exhale, inhale. And she measures. And she says, inhale, and she goes, and she started laughing. She goes, she says, no, no, that's not possible. Do it again. So I do it again. And she looks at me and she says, wait, as she walks out, as she comes back with another doctor. And I go, okay, what's going on? She says, well, if I don't bring him, he's not going to believe it. I said, what's going on? She says, well, normally when people break our chest expansion, the difference between inhaling and exhaling, it's by an eighth of an inch. You almost went two inch more than everybody else. I had a breathing IQ. You can go to the breathing IQ.com. This will tell you how you have to measure yourself, the breathing IQ.com. Number 100 is great breath. I had 182. So it was a whole big difference. And then she realized it was this thing. And then she put it in her book.”

“Can roll whole classes now in Brazil and Jiu-Jitsu. He calls me every six weeks. Boss, love you. Gotta go. He loves it because he said, Bus, since I've used the Oto Trainer, I can complete my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, which he could never do before.”

“These are these links. I mean, if you go in a published medical journal website and you put inspiratory muscle training in the search bar, click. You'll have hundreds. Hundreds of published medical journals. You pick them. And they will all say the same thing. The story that I wanted to say with Dr. Belize Avrenis, right? So she's a world-renowned breeding expert. All my knowledge I have from her. She put me to this rigorous course. The first time I met her, Joey Diaz, the comedian, he actually set us up because he said, she's breeding, you're doing the breathing exercise, you got to meet this lady.”

“What I do is this as soon as I inhaled, I swallow. Because if you don't swallow, and later on you're going to do the exercise with movement, you might start drooling through the Ota trainer. Now, I don't care, but if you're somewhere public and you want to do it, you know, and you start drooling, that doesn't look that good. And then you're doing it. The 15 repetitions, the first time you did 15, the next day you do the 30 front. Then when you go back to the back to 20. Then you go back to the front and do 25. So every time just add five till you also do 30 with the back breathing. That's the only thing for you I would do. And by the way, Tim, if you go on the website, you click on science, there is an high altitude link from inspiratory muscle training that will show you that”

“Only 30 repetitions of that, and that's it. What I personally do, I alternate. So today I do 30 repetitions with the front breathing. And tomorrow, so my front breathing muscles can rest, I attack the back breathing muscles. And then I flip every time. So every time I give the muscles that I attack the day before rest and I take the other side.”

“Just focus on that. Those are your front breathing muscles. The back breathing muscles, like I said, don't do 30. That will be from the side. It would look like this. Your legs are like in the 90 degree angle. I'm just going to lean on my legs. And for now, just sit there. Don't do the exercise like I'm showing you. Make it simple. You're just going to sit auto trainer breathe out. Then you start breathing in and you focus on the lower part of your ribs, on your back to expand. And it's really weird how your mind works. You will feel this immediately. Just focus on those muscles. And you just relax every muscle in the body. and only let your back muscles expand.”

“And that's going to create muscle. But once you get the technique down, you just start breathing. And pushing out your belly. Focus on that. Once you get your belly down and you really want to do this for months, then we're going to start focusing to the bottom part of your ribs. Because officially you want to do it a little higher because that's where the diaphragm is attached to. But this is what it would look like for the super beginner. You sit?”

“it like this imagine you have two buckets one bucket is filled with bad water and the other one is fresh water if i throw the bucket with bad water if i throw 70 out i can only fill it up with 70 good water because there's still 30 left bad water in there so squeezing exhaling is very important get all the bad air out so to say the carbon dioxide everything that you breathe out so you can use your entire inspiratory system again to breathe out to inhale and to work this all these muscles In the beginning, what you want to do, you want to grab the bottom of your chair so you cannot raise your shoulders, whatever you do, do not raise your shoulders. In the beginning also, you're going to get neck pain. Because if you breathe in with resistance, this is what you're going to do in the beginning.”

“In the beginning, I started doing my workouts with it, but then I got in contact with the guy who used to train Usain Bolt as well. And he says, Boss, stop doing the workouts with it. I said, what do you mean? I have a breathing exercise for you. And that's what you should do. Like you say, Balt sleeps in a high-altitude tent. He wakes up first thing when he comes out, he does 30 repetitions, his spiritory muscle training. He says, that will do way more for you. Then when I started doing that, because all this knowledge that I have about breathing, people, either doctor tell me a pulmonologist said, do you know more about breeding than any doctor I know? Not a pulmonologist, but other doctors. It's insane. I said, well, that's Dr. Beliza Branich. You know, she is a world-renowned breeding expert. I'll tell you a fun story. Hopefully we can touch on that right after this. But so what you start with is doing breathing exercise. It's very simple. For the basic thing, normally you have to do it with movement. For now, I would simply put in your mouth, exhale, squeeze, guys. You want to squeeze all the air out of your lungs. I always explain.”

“And in the early days, I couldn't catch my breath. It's completely gone. Everything is controlled right now. Sleep apnea, balance, back problems. I mean, look at the list. You have no clue. You know that your diaphragm is the main muscle for balance. You know, was the diaphragm also massages your intestines? You know the diaphragm also aligns your spine? I mean, diaphragmatic breathing does things for you. You don't even know. And it's only four minutes a day. I'm an overachiever. I do it five minutes a day. That's it. Five minutes. And then I start workouts. Done.”

“You worked out your breathing muscles so they're tired. So then, if you start doing stamina, yes, it looks like it actually works against you because you get more tired because your breathing muscles are tired. The trick is to simply do it anyway for 30 days straight because once you update these muscles, the sky is the limit. They found out now a preliminary test that your second wind is your diaphragm being warmed up. Like I've been doing it four and a half years every day. I just told you that. If I do a conditioning workout, I do 30 repetitions and then I start hitting the back and have no dip. I fly through the workout. Every single workout that I do, stamina, I'm like in the break. I'm like, this is insane. It blows me away till this day every single time.”

“When I go up, it's just bizarre. I had Lyota Machina. You know Liota Mechida as well, of course, the UFC light heavyweight champion. He left me a message. I can let you listen to the message even if you want. I gave it to him and he's a karate guy. So that means he's got habits. I gave it to him. I said, this is really good for you, Leodo. He starts using it for five months. He got COVID. Then he had COVID. five days after he had COVID, he decided to start trading with his students again who are fighting and competing in the UFC and Imbalator. He says, boss, I outwork everybody. I'd never been in control with my breathing like I was there. It's the most insane thing. He says my muscles got tired, but my breathing was completely controlled. He was blown away, but he's a guy who actually did it. Now, the problem, which I found out now two weeks ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and go, now I know why.”

“70% or more gone in one month, and you only have to do this for four minutes a day. Think about that. Four minutes a day. Then I give you your money back. The only thing that I want to see is I want to see you doing the 30 repetitions because everybody nowadays, they say, oh, I did the 30 times, you didn't. You did it because it's a workout. You're going to feel your core. I have buddy builders buying it now for their apps. That's how much you're going to strain on your apps and on your back breathing muscles, back breathing muscles. Yeah, you have muscles 360 degrees circumferential around your body. They breathe everywhere. Once you start including your back breathing muscles and we have great exercise for that on the website. And by the way, if you do the back breathing exercise, do 15 repetitions. We tell you to do 30. Don't do 30. You're going to walk around for three days in enormous pain because it feels like you worked out your back muscles really freaking hard. So just do 15 repetitions.

“From this view, spoof, it expands. So once this expansion happens inside, expands your chest. And again, there's the vacuum between the body and the lungs that will open up your lungs, and that's how you breathe. So the more chest expansion you have, the easier it will be for you to fill up your lungs right there. To me, this is the gift that keeps on giving. I started training with the prototype three weeks later and I told you before, I had severe asthma. Every single fight everywhere I went in the world, I was always carrying an inhaler with me. Because if I sneeze violently, my lungs clothes have to open them up. Many astropatients right now who are watching have exactly the same that I have. After three weeks, I never even had an inhaler anymore. I don't have it. I sent it to my buddy in Holland. Yes, asthma. Eight days later, he calls me. He said, dude, my asthma has gone. So he sells him in Europe right now. This is my thing for the people at home. If you buy an OT trainer for your asthma or for your COPD and it's not...”

“To do what it says. I'm saying this because a lot of people sell a product and it says it's clinically tested. Stay far away from that product. It's just a way for them to put the word clinically in and then some people go, oh, clinically, it's got to be good. No, it's clinically tested. What is the result from that test? That's what you should ask. Because if it was clinically proven, it would have said clinically proven. So don't buy a product if it says clinically tested because you want to know what it did, what the result was. Now, I brought this thing and I wanted to do this really fast. It's a vegetable steamer. But guess what? It also looks like a diaphragm. Believe it or not. Now your diaphragm don't shape tendon muscle that's attached to the bottom part of your ribs. So if you walk your fingers down here on your stern all the way back along the spine. Now the bottom of this is connected to the bottom of your ribs. And when you breathe in, this happens. Your diaphragm drops down. And from that view, not a lot happened. Watch what happens.”

“It's below. So once you start breathing the correct way, what it did for me, if I have a fight that I show on my website, which I fought Funaki and you see me in the corner like this, I'm chest breathing. That is completely gone. I can go as hard as I want on the back. I come out as this. There's no movement. Then think about a military guy, snipers, and all the special force. You think when they're with a gun, do you think the chat's breathing? Of course not. Valley breathing because there's no movement here. Everything in your life becomes better. It's good. It's for asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, anxiety, PTSD. I have a list on my website, O2Trainer.com. Go there, click on science. There's a list of published medical journals what it does for you. And it will blow you away. Published medical journals for the people at home. I just want to touch on that. It means it's clinically proven.”

“animal on the planet who breeds incorrect every animal with a lung breeds diaphragmatic breast that's what they do so it's important that you make sure that you focus on that technique and the o2 trainer with heart resistance this is like a short resistance cap here when you breathe in with resistance you cannot pull the air in you raising your shoulders you're going to be forced to use your core and just that by itself can give you up to five times more oxygen in your body now with kids also they become self-conscious for instance they start seeing superman superheroes they start seeing and girls see barbie dolls and oh everybody is and if you breathe through your belly oh other kids might think you're fat or you go to the doctor and they put a stethoscope and they say take a deep breath i go and then you think oh so this is where my lungs are no that's not where your lungs are your lungs are here that's the most rich densest oxygen rich part of your lungs”

“Test also show that after the age of 29, you see what I always dislike when the project comes out and they say, Now, they do the same things. Everything is the same. So when a running coach comes in, he sits in front of them, they get the same information at the same time from the running coach, the cycling coach and the swimming coach. Now, the one thing that one does different is that he trains his breathing muscles. So his chest can't expand maximally and he can excrete also all the air so he can move more air in and out of his body. Who do you think is going to win? When they do the trilateral. You know the answer is the person who did the breathing muscles. This is how important it is to train your breathing muscles. And you are breathing correct until you're five and a half years of age. You can look this up. Google it and you will see the studies that are there. And the reason is at five and a half, hey, that's the age when you start going to school. That's the age when you maybe get belts. So now already your belly breath gets away. If you look at the baby, it breathes the belly like this. We are all chestbreed. We are actually the only...”

“And that's number five, the fact this is the biggest one, and it's going to get everybody. And I'm going to get you with it as well, Tim 95% of us breed from. So Tim, take a deep breath. Know he's raising his shoulders. That's a complete incorrect breath. The densest, most rich part of your lungs is at the bottom of your lungs. And I will go in a little bit over why we are breathing wrong. Chest breathing. Four to six of these breaths is the same as one diaphragmatic breath, a horizontal breath. Think about that. So if you're a fighter and you come back out of a hard route, you go back to your corner. Instead of raising your shoulders 40 times, I take the lowest number now because it could be four to six. You can do the same amount of air you can pull in by doing it 10 times correctly. And also think about this. Doing this, your traps, your shoulders, your neck muscles all have to work. They all cost oxygen. So why not updating your 11 pounds of breathing muscles that you have so they don't have to steal the blood anymore? You're going to be good.”

“Getting nothing and nothing because it's going to pull the air of your oxygenated blood. It pulls it away from your legs and it sends it to your number one priority in the body, which are your breathing muscles. That's why you're gassing, because your breathing muscles are not updated. Now let's attach another thing to it. Stamina. How is it? Why is it that when you train really hard, your stamina increases? There's got to be a real reason for that. Well, the reason is that if you train the muscle over and over again, it becomes more efficient. And once the world already says it efficient, it uses less oxygen. So your stamina increases. And now you're going to go, wait a minute. So if I train my 11 pounds of breathing muscles, they don't have to steal blood anymore. By the way, stealing blood, blood stealing is a medical turn in gassing, in metabor flex.”

“Okay, we know it as gassing. You know what gassing, what happens when you're gassing? Let's say you're cycling and you go on uphill and suddenly you start gassing. That is your body regulating the airflow.”

“You expense your chest, you create a vacuum between the body and the lungs that will rip open those lungs. So if you really think about it, your chance doesn't expand because you put air in them, your chest expands, and that's how you pull the air in them. Now, the biggest mover for expanding your chest is the diaphragm. And that together with the external intercostal muscles, which are the muscles in between your ribs, open up your chest. Exhaling is done by your obliques, your abs, and your internal intercostal muscles. And by the way, just that you know, the average human being has about 11 pounds of breeding muscles. Fact number three, metabor flex. Do you know what it is? Metabor flex?”

“It's an inspiratory muscle trainer. This is the best way to get in people's heads because once you know as well as I do, once you start talking about breathing, people go, ah, I've been doing that my whole life. But people don't realize is that they breathe wrong. I'll go into that. Give me a few facts. These facts that I'm going to give you are scientifically proven, clinically proven in published medical journals. You can look this all up 100% to it. First of all, there's nothing more important in your body that you can control than breathing. It's the number one priority. The survival rule of three states that the average human being can go three weeks without food, three days without water, three minutes without oxygen. So if you don't have oxygen for three minutes, you might die. So that's the number one priority in the world. Your lungs, fact number two, 100%. Your lungs don't do anything by themselves. Your lungs are just two bags. There's not a muscle in your lung. The only way for your lungs to open up is by chest expansion.”

“So bad because they were the mafia bouncers, that's what they called them. They put in the Swedish post, they put a picture of my street, a self-defense DVD, and then below it said that one of the bouncers said, we were so happy the police came because we couldn't handle him. My salesman threw the roof over in Sweden and I became their hero because everybody had trouble in that bar and now they finally had somebody who give it back, you know. But still it was a very now i'm here and I can talk about it with a smile but at that time if you think you're going to be there for six or nine months for something you didn't do you know try to convince it's five against one you know nobody's going to believe me so yeah Yeah, that was the sweetest story.”

“No, no, no. One of the bouncers was a cop off dirty cop. But he got the same treatment because if he attacks me, I got him. So I called my wife and she's freaking out now. And I go, honey, come, I don't have a lot of time. I have some good and bad news. What do you want to hear first? And she says, the good news. I say, I didn't have sex with two Swedish girls. And she goes, what's the bad news? I said, I'm in jail. He goes, you think that's funny? I go, yeah, yeah. Thankfully, I had some good guys there who were pretty powerful guys who convinced the bad people to take the charges back. But otherwise, I would have been there six to nine months. That's what they wanted to give me for no reason. Then we find out, and you can Google this, they put people in jail for four years for nothing. There was a guy who went on one of those guys for the bouncers. He went on a big show, like an Oprah kind of show in Sweden, and he was crying on the show. They sent it to me. He said that they put an actress in jail for four years, and she didn't do what they said. Their boss told him to do these things. He felt.”

“And then it put me in prison. I still couldn't call my wife. Oh, this is always say my wife. And by the way, they wouldn't give me my first phone call. It was the guards who knew me who gave me their cell phone and I was allowed to call. Dude, they gave me a TV. I had a VCR. They gave me cookies, tea. I was playing cards with the guard. It was hilarious. But still, it was not fun because I was in jail and they told me I was going to be six to nine months in jail because apparently one of the cops of one of the bouncers was a cop. But he didn't say he was a cop. So, well, if you attack me, well, yeah, I'd knock you out as well.”

“Yeah, I couldn't get out. But till that time, I was still fighting by the rules. I wasn't stabbing ice. I didn't kick the balls. I didn't, I was still kind of just fighting, you know, not to destroy. So now I made up my mind. And I turn around and I told myself I'm going to stabize. I'm going to go all the way. And as soon as I looked at them, they all stepped back. And I felt really powerful for about five seconds because I thought they saw in my face that I meant business. But it wasn't behind me. There was the whole police force standing behind me because I had a pole. And that's why they stopped fighting. But they threw me in jail from jail. I went to a jail in the freaking mountain. You can Google this. I mean, I thought, did I make this up? No, in the mountain, we drive in the tunnel. The tunnel stops in the middle of a mountain. I have to go to an elevator, two floors up, go out, three floors up, go out, four go.”

“And that guy, of course, he's out, but while I'm fighting the other bouncers, he starts waking up. So I'm dropping left and right everywhere. I put three in the hospital. And finally, I realized eventually I'm going to run out of gas. This is going to go wrong. I got to go down. And this is a fire escape. So I need to go down. So I'm running down. I'm going down while I'm fighting and I'm hitting and hitting, hitting, and I'm going down. And I remember I spilled it as there. I remember exactly how it looked. It was one of those copper things that you push in to open the door and it was locked.”

“And I'm talking to the guy and he's pointing on my chest the whole time. And I say, guys, I'm going. Don't worry about it. I don't want any trouble. Can you tell my buddy? He's also bold. He's from Holland. Then I'm outside because otherwise he has no clue where I am. And he says, you don't understand. He's pushing on my chest. There's no reason to touch me. Let's not do that. So then he touched me again. I pushed him away. I said, don't touch me. Stop touching me. And right away, the guy behind him, the tall guy, stabs a finger in my eye. So I'm going like, guys, I don't want any trouble. And he takes my other eye. As soon as that happens, I knock him out. Because what's next? He's going to kick the ball. He's going to escalate. I mean, once you take two ice, so I knocked him out. The problem was they had these little microphones. So now three other answers come in.”

“Okay, so understand this when I'm drunk, I'm happy drunk. I'm always drunky partying and, you know, but still, it's stupid because I don't have alcohol under control. But still, I was always happy guy. When I walked into the bar, it called the spy bar. Very notorious for their bouncers being really bad bouncers. I mean, the whole Sweden, they love me after this happened. So when I walked in, they recognized me. And they said, and you couldn't keep it quiet today, Boss. And I thought, that's a weird thing to say. Why wouldn't I? I never get in trouble. I get friends with everybody. So I'm walking around dancing around. And this one guy wants to give me a drink. And suddenly a bouncer comes to me and he says, you have to go. He says, what do you mean? He says, you're bothering the customers. I said, who? Him. I say, he's buying a drink for me right now. So I don't think I'm bothering. Can you ask him? No, you have to come with us. I said, dude, I'm not bothering anybody. So they grab me. I don't want to fight because I know if I push somebody, it's already going to fight.”

“On the streets. And that was in 2001, I think, in 2000. So that thankfully helped. But because before that, people were drunk and would come up to me and I would just go to the bouncers. I said, can you come here? Okay, take them out. And they would get so angry. And I would write my name and the phone number on the business card. I say, here, tomorrow morning call me and then we will fight. Any rules you want, we're going to fight. But I guarantee you, you're not going to call. Oh, I'm going to call you tomorrow. You're not going to call. You'll be the first one. And of course, they never call because they wake up and they're sober and they go like, yeah, that was really stupid. But you see, so just be more solved.”

“Him and his father also, and his father told me the next day he says, Boss, he's doing that all day long to me. I have students, and when you see them, they look like this. Don't piss him off. You're going to lose this. And with me, he did that. If he would have done that 10 years ago, I might have grabbed him by the throat because I would have said, now you're going to stop. Would have hit him? No, probably not. If he takes a swing at me, sure. But otherwise, but at least I would have grabbed by the throat that you're going to stop that right now. But I didn't do that. You see? So it's just the guy who knows probably that if I would hit him, that's the lawsuit, right? And they just don't care. But guys like that, and I told him that. I said, you have to watch out because you are going to say this. If you say this to one of my 17-year-old students, he'll mess you up. You're not going to win this. And he's five years younger than you're six years younger than you. You see, so I don't know what's wrong with some people. That's the same on alcohol. Well, the alcohol challenges all that stopped after my whole crazy Sweden bar fight story with the five bouncers and that was the whole nightmare. After people read that story, nobody ever was being.”

“Who's in control of himself? So I say, Oh, I take a drink. Oh, I want another drink. Now you have a little bit of bush. You really want the third one? No. Because that's going to set me over the edge. I'm not going to do it. That's a powerful.”

“My whole arm must like this. So slowly, over 11 years it came back. I did with two pound curls. I could have pulled the trigger from a gun. And now I do 15 pound curls. They go, oh, that's a lot. I go, dude, that's over 11 years. You know, it's not a lot. I do 45 with the left arm and I do only 15 pounds with this arm. But I do it. You don't have to do every time everything you like. That's the problem in this whole society right now. We think that pleasure is the same as being happy. It's not. You know, you're just feeding your pleasures. Your vices give more, more, more. And it becomes more and it controls you. And once it controls you, now it's a vice. You know, the powerful man, this is what I always say. Well, I have a line.

“Twice now, and that really puts life in perspective. What is necessary, what's not necessary? And if you keep it very simple, trust me. That's the way to go. All the stuff that you like, I had a portion, I had this. It's all gone. It's all material stuff. Nothing's going to help us to get up there with that. What's going to help us to get up there is to be a good person. Help other people. And that's what I want to be. So I don't go crazy when people are screaming and I won't be the guy who's quoting verses. Well, if you want, I can, but I won't, you know, because that scares people off that guy's freaking crazy. But if you really take it to the heart and you really try to just be a good person, like for instance, Jesus says, the two greatest commandments, let's say you're an atheist, forget about commandment number one is rich. Love God with all your might, all your heart, all your soul. Forget about that one. Number two, three people like you want to be treated. Those are the two most important commandments in the world. You think if everybody else in the world would treat everybody like they wanted to be treated?”

“You start on every beat, you have a situation in your mind how the story goes for you, it's really easy to just focus on that and to cut off all the noise in the outside world. Like for instance, we did it twice, the Exodus 90. That's like lent on steroids, right? So it's for 90 days. You are not allowed to drink sweets, no sodas, can't eat sweets, can't eat only three times a day. Nothing in between, nothing. You can't watch TV. You can't watch on your phone. You can't be on your computer. Only for your work you can. You can't listen to crazy music. Only music that lifts the soul. You can only do cold showers. You have to work out every single day. And then once you start doing that, I realized my social media cut with 80% because I realized I'm wasting so much time on a stupid phone the whole time and trying to get likes and posting videos. Now I'm reading a book. And now I learn something about life. You see, so it completely changed me. I did that.”

It's a little longer. You see, but those are the mysteries. The very boom, boom. And the very end is when they lose Jesus for three days and they find him in the temple. That is Monday and Saturday. On Tuesdays and Fridays are the sorrowful mysteries. This is where with the crucifixion and with the crowding of thorns, the scorching at the pillar, all that stuff. all the bad things that happen on Tuesday and then you have Wednesday and Sunday that's when he comes back. This is when he resurrected and then when he goes up to heaven and he's talking to them for 40 days and 40 nights and talking about everything that is on Wednesday and Friday and on Thursday you have the illuminous mysteries. That's what I do. Some people don't and that's you start with the baptism in the Jordan, then the wedding at Kana, you know, it's all these things from the Bible that you focus on.”

“To do some things, the more calm it got me. I just feel really great right now. I mean, I'm enjoying life. I'm doing everything. It's like, I'm feeling really good. And to go back to the rosary, if the rosary, you have five decades. And there every time they're different on every day of the week. So Mondays and Saturdays are the same. And the mysteries of Mondays and Saturdays is the anunciation. That's the first temp bars. You meditate about anunciation when Gabriel came to Mary and said, hey, you're going to be pregnant. This is going to happen, blah, blah, blah. Then the number two is that you go visit Elizabeth Zechariah, you know, because John the Baptist came from there. That's number two. Then number three is when Jesus gets born. Number four is when you present him in the temple. And all these little things, if you read about it, you can visualize those situations while you go over the beach. So you're turning off the world and you focus on these mysteries. It's pure meditation. You know, you completely cut off and you focus there.”
