I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition, and one product in particular, MitoPure. MitoPure is one of the first products to offer a precise dose of urolithin A to help upgrade your mitochondrial function, help increase cellular energy, and help improve muscle strength and endurance. I've started taking it recently and have started to tell that there is definitely one I work out or am active. But MitoPure does more than just help with my muscle health.

It can help with health stand as well. I want to be one of those granddads one day that you see in the video of him swinging his grandkid around. I want to rely on myself for as long as I possibly can. One way to think of MitoPure is that they are in your cells, chomping up the damaged mitochondria that makes you feel old and tired and helping to recycle it into new healthy ones.

Mitochondria, our cell's power generators, are one of the key influences in how we age. However, as the years pass, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines, representing a large gap in the quality of life we expect in our later years and the one we experience.

Taking two soft gels a day for two months and you could see significant improvements in your cellular energy, muscle strength, and endurance. After four months of taking Mito Pure, you might feel yourself getting stronger, recovering faster after a workout, and experiencing less inflammation, all part of your healthier aging routine, which is honestly amazing.

What's up everybody welcome back to this special two-part episode of Pillows and Beer. I am Craig Conover taking over for Austin Grohl also still joined by with Nick Norris. What's up Nick? What's going on Craig? How are you doing? How's family life? Good good this is our last one of these you know for the foreseeable future. Austin will be back by next week. I hope you guys have been having fun listening to a different dynamic on here. I've been in Delaware

As Nick just said, it is my happy place. I got a couple of happy places, but it just it was great to go home. It wasn't rushed. It was nice time, you know, during the summer when Paige is working. I have my weekends free. And so I just I've been handwriting out my planner recently, Nick. I just can't keep up with all of the the apps and the electronic counters which are supposed to make your life.

I just feel like a lot, um, never, uh, uh,

what's it called? Like sync up. Like a lot of them don't sync up and I've just been having some issues with it. So I went to Staples and bought a little, you know, like eight by four planner and it's changed my life. So I noticed I had a couple of days free, went to Delaware. Um, my cousins from both sides of the family were actually visiting overlapping. My grandfather was there. He had to eat crabs. Christopher and his fiance, Anna came with some friends. Um,

shout out the crabs to go where i get my crabs from home and captain max but this time was crabs to go uh swam in the pool with ace and kona they go on retrievers and uh yeah it was just an awesome time lay on the floor with the dogs um watched the last night was the only night we had alone with my parents we watched the new little mermaid have you seen that yet

No, I haven't. I know everyone I've talked to has loved it for the most part. Some people said it was a little bit long, but other than that, I think a lot of people enjoyed it. Easy watch. She's great. Good music.

It's a lot of singing there. Apparently Paige watched it too. And she said a little too much singing for her taste. But there's a confession that I didn't tell her after watching it with my parents downstairs in order to fall asleep. I actually put it on again when I got up there. Did you put the new one on again or the old one? The new one. I was going to ask if you went and rewatched the old one to see if you could see a difference. I'll tell you, I didn't remember anything past that.

saving the boy and the old one. I started to think to myself and I was like, I remember the water scenes and I remember her selling her soul, but like I forgot it was her voice to Ursula, but I do not remember her coming back on land in the original. Oh yeah. I mean, yeah, I've been, I got to go back and do a rewatch on a lot of those older scenes.

Disney movies. Like there's so many out there that you watch as a kid. And I just don't remember. But the live action was awesome. Like I said, she did great. He was fine. And I didn't realize that my parents hadn't seen the live action Aladdin. And I showed them the trailer and I was like, man, I forgot how awesome this one was too. So I'm, I'm kind of a fan of the live action remake. Oh, see, I didn't like Aladdin. I don't know.

I just, I guess I'm like, I love Robin Williams so much. I just couldn't like picture Will Smith as the genie. I think that was my issue. Well, I haven't, I don't like change that much either, but it's been okay. I watched this weird, I think it's a new Pixar movie called Kraken, The Little Kraken or something.

Basically, Ursula becomes the good guy and the mermaid's the bad guy. But I fell asleep every time I put it on. That's not a good sign.

What did you and Austin talk about? We talked about a lot. Obviously, just his trip in Paris and everything. And then just some more of his travel type stuff. I guess they're going to a... They're probably already done with it. Obviously, it's six hours ahead there. But they went to a burlesque show tonight. With his parents? Yeah, with everyone. The whole family went. I did that in Paris once. But did you go with your mom? No. Yeah, see...

like that's what I was saying. I don't know if I could do with my mom and my sisters. I mean, it's not sexual, but it is like at the end of the day and they're, they're naked women. Yeah. And like when you're sitting there, you don't want to act like you're not looking. Like if my mom was there, I'd be like, look, I'm just watching this show. I'm not trying to stare at that girl three from the right. It was clearly the prettiest ones, but you know, like,

I mean, to each their own, but I, yeah, some families are supposed to. I mean, the age limit is 12 there, or the age minimum is 12, which, I mean, it's France. It's totally different over there, obviously, but. Yeah, but like, I just did it the other day when I was home with my parents. We were watching a movie and I had forgotten that there was like, you know, a little bit of a sex scene. And like, I don't know if my parents pick up on this, but I purposely did.

like we'll find an excuse to leave the room like i'll go get popcorn or i'll act like i forgot something upstairs because a lot of the movies that i watch with them i'm re-watching because i like watching you know everything as it comes out and so i just think it's considerate and nice for everyone if i leave the room like no one's ever asked me to but um

Or like if I'm on a plane and there's a sex scene in a movie, which I find it wild that they don't censor. I'm like, I always like skip, like I'll hit the 15 second skip, but just to not make anyone else feel weird. Or maybe it's only me that feels weird. I mean, I don't necessarily feel weird in that. Like we watch Game of Thrones and stuff together and there's a lot of obviously nudity in that. Yeah, there is.

But so like, that's not weird to me, I guess. But like you said, it's different in public because watching TV, you know, it's, it's only there for like 30 seconds, but in an actual like burlesque type show or any type of thing like that, you're right. You're, you're gonna, your eyes are gonna go to like the hottest girl that you think is there. And my mom looked over and she'd smack me and go, stop staring.

nah i just yeah you know everyone's different um but you know when you would have like sleepovers with kids and like their families were a little more close than yours like yeah i don't know i just remember that feeling we were that family i think like now that i look back on it like like kissing on the lips oh no no kidding no we're not like tom brady joking about like more like if parents would be like

like talk about sex with their kids or something and be like, Oh, did you guys like go all the way or something? You'd be like, Whoa, we were that bad. Uh, but yeah, we're definitely parents like that. Um, there was always like the cool parents that had to be more like the kids than a parent kind of thing. I mean, I guess, you know, my one friend had divorced parents, um, and,

the parent that he saw less, you know, she would, she was the parent that would tell our parents we were staying over there for the night. So that was how my staying out partying day started. And so she'd pack us a cooler, uh, on the back porch and had a case of our case in Delaware is 30 beers. So we'd have a rack or a 30 case of 30, 30 Bud lights and a handle of Captain Morgan's every Friday night. We would, uh,

We would go home from the football game. Everyone would get showered up and we would pick up our coolers from the back porch. Yeah, there always were those parents that, especially, you know, did you do beach week in high school? Just senior week, we went down to Myrtle Beach, but that was our senior year. Well, yeah, that's what I mean. It's like after, we called it beach week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Senior year. But, you know, and the chaperones there just did not care at all.

Oh, you had chaperones. Yeah, well, because to rent the homes, you had to have parents and adults staying there. Oh, that was X. And, you know, they were partying with us. I was like, I guess this is cool. But at the same time, you know, I got a 50-year-old mom that's hitting on half the guys here. Yeah.

Yeah. It was funny this weekend. We were sitting around the table. We probably had like 10 of us eating crabs. And I mean, it's kind of where exactly where the inspiration for our first pillow at Sewing South came from was the Maryland blue crab because so many people have so many memories with crabs if you're from like what area of the country or have ever visited or anything. Yeah. And so-

we were talking about all the parties we had in high school because we had a cottage at the beach in Fenwick, which was 15 minutes from my parents' real main house, regular house. And in the off-season...

you know, I was the first to start having parties here and I didn't think anyone knew, but I guess my dad did, but he was just happy that we weren't driving and being smart. But my mom had no idea. And then I got caught because his, well, some of his cleaning ladies came in that worked for him and were like, Oh, the boys are at the house. But,

But then when I got home from college one time, Christopher was like, hey, dad, I'm having a party at the cottage. And I was like, wait, he doesn't even have to try to hide it. Well, that's the thing. When you're the oldest, you're always the punching bag. And then everybody else. Yes. They're like, well, we had to deal with Craig. And so then when...

Uh, we sold that my grandparents had passed away and we had like a beach out like their cottage. And so Christopher and I, um, I would go there after bartending. Those are my college years and take friends. And I had some amazing memories. And one time I went there and Christopher was there with his friends. And I was like, wait, you break into, cause we'd use our credit card to just swipe the door. Um, and so we were telling all these stories and my mom's like, wait, what? She's like, I didn't know any of this. And my dad's like, yeah, I,

for she was like I would have never slept and I would have never been able to lie to my siblings were like yeah there was a reason why I just it wasn't like being conniving we just knew you were bet you slept better not knowing and she's like you knew this to my dad and he's like yeah of course but like so it's just funny so we Chris Brad way more wild stories like you know he's like yeah my birthday party when I had a DJ on our loft in the

And my mom was like in our, in our farming house. And I was like, yeah, I think I showed up to that party actually. And my mom was like, wait, when did all of this happen? So that's when Christopher and I started to get closer was when we, he got of like, you know, when he started to drink, which does sound weird or bad, but like, we just finally had something in common other than sports. So then all of a sudden we, you know, we're drinking buddies, but, um,

All right, I'm going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back after a word from our sponsors.

Welcome back to this episode of Pillows and Beer. I'm on the second half of the episode. Hopefully you enjoyed Austin's podcast.

Beautiful presence. Beginning of this episode coming to you from Europe. Me and Nick Norris are now back in the States. Make sure to check out our merchandise on...

pillowsandbeer.com. We've got a lot of merchandise from our first tour, which some of it says toxic and things like that, which we've gotten a few questions about. That was just us leaning into people calling us toxic, and it was kind of funny to be like, yeah, well, it might be a little toxic, but I'm certainly a good time. And then obviously, TV, we had no idea what was going to happen. Didn't age well, but now it's funny again. So we've got some merch from our first tour.

Also on our website, you can find old episodes of ours, but like Hall of Fame episodes. Ones with Spencer Pratt, Paulina Gretzky, Kyle Cook, Justin Anderson, Tom Schwartz was one of our guests, Sarah Gretzky, Cameron Eubanks, professional golfer Keegan Bradley,

professional comedian with a Netflix special coming out, Jared Freed. Jordan Andino, he has his own Netflix shows, professional chef, Kate Justine, professional X-Games snowboarder, Scotty Lago, Jack Matrani, and a bunch of other ones. So anyway, pillowsandbeer.com. Jared Freed is the best because before the besties and everything, that's easily one of my favorite moments from this show because I

When you call everyone your best friend, and when he came on, you're like, oh yeah, you introduced him as Jared Freed. He's one of our acquaintances. And we were all like, you call everyone your best friend, and this is the first time you say this. Oh yeah. I don't know if we can announce his show yet or not, but he will be on...

uh, in two weeks, I believe, uh, he will. So we've got him joining us. We actually have, uh, Lisa Barlow joining us, um, later next week. And we've got Spencer Pratt coming back on. We have a bunch of awesome guests lined up for the next month. A couple of athletes, um,

But yeah, I... His special's been announced, so we're good. Okay, good. Yeah, so I'm up in New York. I actually just did the nice little four-hour drive back up here. I'm going to fly out of New York. Oh, Nick, I wanted to catch everyone up on our conspiracy ramblings, as some people call them, or just us telling you guys what's going on in the world. But these whistleblowers keep coming out, which...

Are they going to end up dead? I hope not. If they don't, does that mean they're not telling the truth? Are there too many eyes on them? Who knows? Obviously, we want everyone to be healthy, but it'd be a scary world out there with as powerful as some of this stuff has gotten, but

This guy went on the show, Sean Ryan show, which I watch and follow on Tik TOK because I love watching how he cuts up his podcast into clips. And he's had some of the most legendary, incredible Delta guys on there. Dev grew team six and all that stuff. A bunch of Rangers, CIA assets, you know,

What's the CIA's private army called? Whatever it is. They're not considered military, which is nuts, but the CIA's contractors. So he has a lot of those guys, at least the legendary ones that have come forward to speak. There's a lot of the shadows, obviously, that we'll never know about. But this whistleblower went on there and said it was talking about some of that South Pole stuff that I was mentioning. How I think there's a lot of action at the polls, which...

kind of like out of transformers, you know, like so far away that we'd never know. Um, because the poles are actually a lot, lot further than people can imagine. And, um,

I mean, did you hear some of the stuff he was saying, Nick, that he like that some of the technology there is just something that we can't even fathom? Oh, yeah. I mean, it's like what you were saying, like last time when we were talking and that we just in 30 years, it'll be normal technology. But by then there'll be 100 years in advance of technology. So some of the stuff that he was talking about and when it comes to whether they'll be killed or not.

Do they sound crazy enough to the majority of people that they're kind of like you will be discredited? That's their tactic. A lot of the government just wants to discredit people and make them sound crazy. Look, if you said the CIA killed JFK, you were made to seem like a crazy person. People probably got fired. They were called spinsters. I don't believe they killed JFK, though.

Okay, we'll take... But they just released all the documents. Yeah, what I mean is there's a lot of conspiracies that all of a sudden they say, like,

I mean, there's some ones going on right now that I'm not going to talk about because the world's not ready for it. But we are seeing living proof that what a lot of people said over the last decade or five years or even closer is true. But, you know, they have this information, misinformation campaigns and they make everyone seem crazy. But just for fun, I mean, are you allowed to put a clip of this? But he like...

We are based. So he talks a lot about directed energy weapons, which I don't fully understand yet. But he said we're all about to know what they are, but they're out. Like a small version is like what those the Russians hit us with in Cuba or whatever. We're like, yeah.

It's stuff like that. That we continue to do in an eye and like a lot, like these people have permanent migraines now and stuff from our embassy. Well, we're outfitting our newest aircraft carrier with a directed energy weapon. Yeah. Yep. It's got like a, you put it on the front. It's some of the technology. It's not laser.

In that sense, but it's similar. It's like it's energy waves. So it's like radio waves, but it's you hit it with a tone. And then we're also developing rail guns and everything that they keep putting out clips of developing when I think in reality that's already been developed, but they're making it look like we're 30 years behind of what it actually is.

I wonder if there's going to be private clearance rooms for some of these weapons on the ships. There has to be. It's not going to be run out of the main weapons. Well, it's not even that. They'll be on specialized destroyers and everything that...

it'll be every single sailor on that ship will be you know class classified because a lot of these ships will now be using ai and everything so you won't need as many sailors yeah it's just with the freedom of information like i think they'll go after the freedom of information but it's gonna be hard to quiet everyone so it's fun to just listen and hear some of this stuff and

You know, you never want to be scared. You want to be aware. Yeah. And it's embellished. But I think a lot of I think in that embellishment, there's a lot of like truth to it. Yeah. Don't be scared, but be aware. That's what I would say. Continue to live your life. But I know that a lot of this stuff is being used to help us. It's not all bad. Right. Right. Just look at the Oppenheimer movie. We developed the atomic bomb and when people didn't realize it.

Well, there's a lot of schools of thought on that, but you'll talk to most. Here's something I'll tell you. We are still using Purple Hearts today that were made in World War II back in the 50s to prepare for the invasion of Japan.

So we made so many Purple Heart medals because that's our projected loss of life was astronomical. Yeah, it was like one million casualties was a rough estimate of not just death, but like injury, everything. It might have even been higher than that, but it was an astronomical loss of life.

if we did not drop the atomic bomb. And I know a lot of people have theories on it, but it's also because a lot of people aren't taught history anymore. And so they're just like, oh my God, we killed all those people. And you're like, yeah, it sucks. But we also dropped a lot of pamphlets. We did everything we could. Warner Brothers Japan. I don't know if you saw, they released something. They're mad at Barbie because I guess they put out a quote, like, you know, like a tweet or something. It was like Barbenheimer. And it was like from like the...

Warner Brothers account. And so now like Japan's all pissed at them for like celebrating it, which I can sort of understand. But no one look and no one, you, you don't celebrate the bomb, right? Like it's still awful. Like it really, like it, it destroyed a lot of people's lives and killed a lot of people, but it also, at the end of the day, like,

Japan was not going to stop. They just weren't. And that's what people don't understand these days. Even like when you're taught, like in school, you're like, well, of course they would have surrendered. People don't realize we were firebombing Tokyo for years and they weren't doing anything. I mean, their, their way of the, the samurai on the comic, like it just was fight to the bitter end. Yeah. They weren't going to stop. And so,

you can have whatever opinion you want, but at the end of the day, you have to consider everything that was going on. And, um, uh,

I have not seen it. I wondered if there was what kind of undertones there were or if it was inaccurate. But yeah, speaking of that, I mean, not that, but in living your life, obviously, between the time you talked to Austin and the time you talked to me, we found out that Austin Cloud passed away from euphoria, you know, prayers to his family.

Um, they just lost, you know, his dad, you know, last week and it just, you know, just, I wish more people talked about it, but like, you don't know what people are going through and somehow we have to find a way to connect, you know, more and check on each other. But I mean, my friends do, um, you know, they, they randomly send me not, um,

I'm using me as an example, as in saying, like, sometimes I get random texts from a friend. It was like, hey, just checking in on you. Haven't heard from you in a while. And I, I try to do that with other. I'm terrible at that. I need to do that more. And look, instead of cutting that, I'll explain what I mean, because I didn't mean to make that about me at all. I was just trying to use an example that mental like stuff can really, really hurt.

you know, I've had some dark times and it's just, um, and my friends know that. And it's just, that's,

you know, just prayers to their family. And I know I trust me. If anyone knows about mental health, it's, it's me. I as well have gone through some dark times, so we needed to get into that. I don't need to bring people out. No, but I'm just saying like, you're not alone if you're listening and, um, and reach out to us. We, I read almost every email. If you're going through something, just reach out and honestly, we'll bring it up on here. We'll answer anything. Or just, if you want to

You are besties. So yeah. Or we'll send you a private video. You don't want us to talk about it. Um, but yeah, so we don't have to harp on it, but shout out to him. Um, then there's, you know, there's, there's awful, you know, every desk awful, but then you have the daredevil, you know, that climbs those towers and he finally fell, which I, I can't watch those videos because my, I lose my stomach cause I, I can't do heights. Um,

But, you know, I tried to make some sense of it that,

he lived in maybe in a different dimension. Maybe his mind saw things differently. And to him up there, he was the most comfortable, you know? Well, that's like that Alex Honnold, that free soul, those guys who free solo those mountains. And they know that at any second, they don't like being filmed because they know at any second they could slip and it's over. But at the same time that they're at their freest moment when they're just a thousand feet up with no ropes on them.

Yeah. So this guy that passed away, you know, he's the one that would climb to the top of buildings and use the GoPro to take a picture. I mean, it was truly incredible footage.

what he was able to accomplish. And on this one, I guess he, he fibbed to the security downstairs and said that he was visiting a friend on the 40th floor. And by the, by the time they realized, um, he was up there. So yeah, I, you know, I, and so that also rolls into, I hear Austin said he wants to hike, um,

you know, Everest, which we want to do the base camp. He doesn't want to do Everest completely. He just wants to hike to base camp, which in itself is like a week long journey. Oh really? I didn't know that. Yeah. Cause you like land in Tibet and then it's like three to four days to go there. It's actually longer. Cause then you got, and then you got to wait for a day or two to like recoup and then you hike back down. Yeah. I, so you have on here, is there anything life threatening you want to do? I've got, this is a two part question. One,

That's not the reason I don't want to do Everest. I just, to me, there's just other challenges. Like, I feel like I would challenge myself in a business way, you know, or something like that, that kind of, that keeps that box checked because...

It'd just be like really cold and shit. I'd love to do something that wasn't that cold. Like I respect them, but like, I don't want to be cold. Like I, if I wanted to hike Everest, I would go try to be a soldier, you know, a soldier, but I don't want to put myself through some of that stuff. Um, if I had to, for my family, then I would hike Everest. If they were like, your family's going to die. If not try to train and hike Everest. But for me, it's,

okay, hot take or freezing cold take. I think it's pointless. I don't see the point of climbing them out. I really enjoyed, I enjoyed a hike I did once in Aspen during the summer. And I was like, wow, this is really cool. But yeah. You need to watch a couple of those like climbing documentaries, like the Alpinist. What's the ice one?

That's another really good one. And it just, of course, then one of them, most of them are dead by the end of it, but, but that's what they, that's what they live. Seven peaks. Yeah. That's the one. Yeah. Yeah. I've been, see, that's what that gets their rocks off for me. No. And do I want to do anything that's life threatening? Not because it's life threatening. There's things that I want to do that probably are life threatening. Like I love like helicopters, which are really dangerous. Um,

you know like i'm not like would you go skydiving do you have any interest in doing that no because i don't like rides you know i have sharks i've swam with sharks on accident well i mean like i was spearfish and like you know i knew sharks around and i've dealt with them skydiving i'm not a big heights guy i haven't heard anything bad ever said about it everyone that's ever gone skydiving said it's amazing so that

tickles my fancy a little bit. I'd love to be forced out of a plane, but I don't want to... I don't know. But

I'm a calculated risk guy. I hedge all of my risks. Snowboarding even, one of my buddies wants to go hella boarding and I do too, but not if there's clips involved. If it's just a foot of fresh snow and I get to go ride that and it's safe, sure, but I don't like putting myself at unnecessary risk. I guess I'll say that.

My only advice is see that video of that snowboarder that like just randomly got saved because that guy was skiing. See that? I don't I've worked very hard to put that out of my head because I've gotten stuck before. And fortunately, I was able to get my way out, like take my way out. But like, yeah, that that like it's stuff like that that, you know, haunts me.

Yeah, that's rough. Like that makes that like I'd love to do like snowboarding like that. And then I see videos like that. I'm like, nope, I don't want to. That would be my luck. I mean, I like challenging myself, but I don't you know, if I fail, I mean, you know, no offense to like the submarine people, but I would love to go on a submarine that is on my bucket list. Like if I'm ever on someone's yacht or get a chance to go on one of those submarines, like to me, that would be

awesome but that doesn't mean that i'm gonna go then i want to go see the tight speaking of submarines did you see that the co-founder of that now by 2050 wants to put a thousand people on venus yeah i mean at this point do they just get funding for having big goals like kind of reminds me of all these specials we're watching on like netflix and apple tv that are like

You know, she basically promised like the whatever that she is. She just went to jail. But it's like she promised this. Yeah. Or like we work. They promised this. So they got a whole bunch of funding. Yeah, pretty much. I get. I mean, it's just so bizarre. Why do we have to go colonize Venus of all things? Like and who wants to go there? I don't. It's hot as shit. You can't really do anything when you get there.

Yeah. I, I just, I don't, I really love being in like the apartment here. Like I love being in the apartment and watching movies and just relaxing. Um, having one of a rebel rabbit, having a rebel rabbit and just chilling, um,

Yeah. I love being in my backyard. I love spending time with friends and family. A lot of those things are isolating activities too. Oh, like big wave surfing. I am way too much respect for the ocean. Like I love surfing, but that scares the shit out of me. Like if I was surfing at the beach and there's a shark in the water, I was like, oh shit.

Really? Where? In North Carolina. Like I came in and then 10 minutes later, my mom hops up and goes, there's a shark in the water. I'm like, oh, you're just screwing around. Nope. There was about an eight or nine foot shark that was just swimming about four feet from the shore. You could see its whole backside out of the water. And there's just groups of people swam right up and swam away. Oh my gosh. That's crazy. I haven't seen, uh, maybe I have.

And from the shore. But I want to say one thing about Cardi B and then we're going to do a fan question or two. All right. Then in that case, let's go ahead and take a quick commercial break, Greg, and we'll be right back with this episode of Pills of Beer.

I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition, and one product in particular, MitoPure. MitoPure is one of the first products to offer a precise dose of urolithin A to help upgrade your mitochondrial function, help increase cellular energy, and help improve muscle strength and endurance. I've started taking it recently and have started to tell that there is definitely one I work out or am active. But MitoPure does more than just help with my muscle health.

it can help with health stand as well. I want to be one of those granddads one day that you see in the video of him swinging his grandkid around. I want to rely on myself for as long as I possibly can. One way to think of MitoPure is that they are in your cells, chomping up the damaged mitochondria that makes you feel old and tired and helping to recycle it into new healthy ones.

ones. Mitochondria, our cell's power generators, are one of the key influences in how we age. However, as the years pass, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines, representing a large gap in the quality of life we expect in our later years and the one we experience.

Taking two soft gels a day for two months and you could see significant improvements in your cellular energy, muscle strength, and endurance. After four months of taking Mito Pure, you might feel yourself getting stronger, recovering faster after a workout, and experiencing less inflammation, all part of your healthier aging routine, which is honestly amazing.

I mean, what do you think of her hitting the fan with a microphone after getting hit with a beer? I'm on Cardi B's side, so I don't.

I don't know how. I don't see a problem with it. I mean, did she get a little aggressive? But it's in the heat of the moment. No, you throw a beer at you. If you throw a beer on someone, you deserve to get hit in the face. I mean, we have to bring back.

common sense. Like you used to get punched in the face for doing stupid shit. In our parents' time, you got punched in the face for talking shit to people or do, or if you throw a beer on someone, you got punched in the face. But now everyone sits behind their computer and say shit and they never get punched in the face anymore.

Like imagine thinking you can throw a beer at someone and there not be consequence. I got no problem with getting punched. The only time I have an issue is when they take it too far and you end up beating the shit out of the person. Well, yeah. And I'm not saying you should get repeatedly punched in the face, but you got to get popped in the nose. Yes. You deserve to get instant karma. And so I only, my only question was, I was like, yeah, but did she hit the right person? That's what I was worried about. Apparently she hit him like square.

That's a good throw. That's all I got to say. Yeah. I mean...

And you're not going to do it again. You get punched in the face, you're not going to do it again. But the microphone, I think it was an equal thing. I don't think security needed to roll on him or anything, which I don't think they did. And they just dragged him out of there pretty much. Yeah, I think it's fair. I think it's fair. And I also think you should be publicly shamed. I think on your dating profile, it should say, this is the guy that threw a beer at someone. Yeah, but the problem is that might give them a lot of street cred.

Which is stupid. That shows you how screwed we are, Nick. It shows you how screwed we are. Oh, cool. Like he's a cool guy because he threw a beer at a girl. Let me answer a question. Okay. You know, picking out a gift for a girl. We've been dating for three months, but seeing each other for around four months. Do you count the hookup period or just the three months?

I mean, this could go either way. I say you count, you know, you pad your dating period because of the hooking up period. I think, you know, there's definitely some patience probably from both of you being like, all right, we fooled around for a little bit, but now let's date. I say you count when you

you know, the hooking up period. Obviously you want to play it safe. Yeah. You want to be dating or you want to be buying a gift after three months anyway of dating. So I think the fact that you are buying a gift shows that you have some history, but yeah, play it safe, but you don't have to do anything crazy, but definitely treat it as if you were together for six months.
