probably a big loud airflow there okay
get this camera get this camera i've
never seen that before close your eyes
how have i never wait no what oh geez
i think i just heard you like twist
oh my god
how did i not know this
that's why i try not to put my arms up
too much because i'm like wait
this is like not see it
[Laughter]
and i don't even do yoga
y
o g i've known you for over three years
yep
you know i have different thumbs too
right like my thumbs don't match no i
understand that
no you've seen that i'm not even close
to my mic now this is that was only he's
like totally grossed out that was
awesome
look there are some things on this show
that we plan
for most of the show we don't
and that was one of those
how did i not you're
when am i ever i when do you ever do
this i don't know
i've for the longest time i won't extend
you can't not see it now
i love you
i said what was that right i said i love
you
[Laughter]
that's funny remember that thing you
said to me the other day
i don't know what did i say he said
i don't need to understand you to love
you
and that's okay with me
i don't need to understand the look yeah
so you don't need to understand that my
arms go backwards no i don't need to
understand it but i cannot not see it
now well you of course you cannot see it
because i'm just got my arms like this
no i know but you're looking at my arms
like they're not real
like okay so
that was
i thought we were gonna come on we were
gonna we were gonna talk about talk
about yoga because i cuz i regularly
y o g a if you don't yet
after all the episodes that we've done
if you do not yet understand
why you need to watch this on youtube
and not just listen yeah you have no
idea what just happened you have just
missed out one of many treats
that can
cheat
okay
all right so
guaranteed if this if this doesn't alone
let our youtube views on this video go
up with people going what just happened
what did she do
um go check that out
um are you are you done do you have any
other morphines that you need to do
i'm good
okay yeah
now i'll save those for another like
five years from now some people right
now are going to think that this
transition
is going to somehow disprove my
statement that we didn't plan what just
happened
because what are you going to say i'm
about to i'm about to talk about extreme
flexibility
i swear to you i didn't know that was
gonna happen
when we sat down flexibility that's like
disjointness so
she said she was she said she was going
to what would you say i wanted to do a
headstand she said she was gonna do a
headstand on the chair we were talking
about how we were gonna make that happen
here and then we got counted in five
four three two one she goes look what i
can do no that's not what we had planned
look what i can do okay so like stewart
look what's his voice i can't do it look
what i can do
[Laughter]
that's good stewie that's good
that was on mad tv right now i love my
tv okay
so he's looking like a man
okay i'll start okay
so i i want to say
i i don't know i i'm trying to somehow
get my mind off this so let's let's just
quickly transition here
so
um
i i do yoga on a regular basis daily um
multiple times a day sometimes i will
say this once and once only on this
episode i'll say it many more times in
other episodes yoga changed my life okay
um
the flexibility the strength i thought
it was just for women and for
flexibility guys
that was wrong
wrong thinking the first time i saw a
bead of sweat dropped from my forehead
onto my mat i was like oh my goodness
this is doing something else
these yoga shoulders weren't there
before
just strength in general just
inner calmness the breathing the ability
to do that the the flexibility
the strength all around core
um just all all of it i i we don't even
have the space here but uh check out our
social media i'm sure sometime during
this week um we will put something up
there or a few things that show there oh
i'll definitely be doing a headstand at
some point so we go to check that out
but
what i wanted to bring to the table on
this one is the fact that um i do what's
called yo joe yoga well it's what i
called yo joe yoga because i was the one
who named it watch out i have my gi joe
set up i have all my gi joes it was it
was like one of my few prized collection
pieces
um and i do my yoga in front of it i
have some pictures on my um my instagram
at the real timmy boyle called yo joe
yoga
and you told me an interesting fact
about
gi joes
and yoga
and why you do
the yoga
in front of the gi joes
it's a good reminder for me so this
little guy here i don't know what you
can see on the camera
black on black probably doesn't work but
so this is torpedo
it was the very first i'm just gonna put
that behind him because you know okay
there you go back here
he was the very first gi joe figure i
ever bought
um i have over 100 of these men in this
nice little tin at home he's got a
little bit faded you can see what color
he used to be on the next a little bit
faded it looks pretty much brand new how
old is that thing you said oh this would
be
what uh early 80s yeah so
i think so my guys because i didn't play
with my gi joes i i displayed them so
other than some dust i think they're all
in some really good shape so this is
torpedo
my my my thing though that i found very
interesting though is i was watching a
show called um
the toys that made us yeah on netflix i
think 1980s and then for those who know
me the 80s is my you know is my jam i'm
an 80s prophet
but
see the movement that that they have
like like the the joints you can
actually bend the elbows and the elbows
and knees and stuff okay
um before these guys came out
if i remember any of this correctly but
listen we are not scientists
we don't even call ourselves truth
tellers sometimes and we don't work for
the toy department no we will try to do
my best to recall this
so the thing i found fascinating was
before this they had the uh the
three-inch guys the the star wars
characters came out their late 70s but
their arms they only did this like the
barbies the the straight legs straight
like straight arms
so the gi joe developers we're trying to
figure out what do we do how do we how
do we take this to the next level and if
i got the story anywhere correct one of
their people was walking down the street
looked in an art store saw those
mannequins that can move there the
little wooden all flexible wooden
mannequins
brought it bought a whole bunch of them
brought them back to the um
workplace whatever it may be and
basically said this is what we need to
do and gi joe i believe became as a
result of that um what would have been
called fully poseable now they've gone
another step forward the ones later on i
think even the like the wrist fully
opposable thumb do they give you the
cell i don't think they have the thumb
but this extra joint stuff the star wars
guys didn't have gi joe brought this in
and it was all a result of once again
great ideas sometimes come from places
you're not looking for them and he was
just looking around saw these things in
the art store and went that's it and
hence these little posable figures were
born and so
star wars figures luke he's a jedi
knight he can't do the splits
but torpedo can and i can almost do it
too stay tuned try to watch that video
possibly on our social media as well
honey that wasn't the split but this is
good as well as i could do the split
look you can do you can do the full
splits well that's that's not awesome
more impressive than the star wars yoga
that's what i do check out our social
media when was the last time you bought
a gi joe because maybe they do have
opposable thumbs now geez
long time ago maybe they do we're
talking early 90s where it would have
been the last it could have been i don't
know i'm going to have to google this
and see what it is when i took all my gi
joes out of their
containers and stuff all they're all
wrapped up to finally display them
because now i have space to display them
for the first time they were wrapped up
in newspapers from 1993.
wow so they are now out on display not
fully but on their way to full display
but this is torpedo um fresh out
of that box out of storage out of
storage um so there you go so happy yoga
day
thank you and thank you for sharing one
of your uh collectibles with us thank
you my kids already weren't even ever
allowed to touch them although i think
one of my kids has claimed and claimed
all my gi joes when i die
that seems to be i think that was one of
the things they claimed
it's funny wasn't it just their birthday
too
yes yes
yes it was true but but he's not gone
yet so yeah you can't know my gia joe's
yet but they are yours but i hope your
birthday was great um who's burning your
birthday yes well very good transition
right we're nailing the transitions
today yeah we've got uh someone else who
nailed transitions in high school music
oh look at this vanessa hutchins look
people we we may not be truth talents
but we are professional yes we are
professional [ __ ] tellers no [ __ ]
no
no [ __ ] in there no no all right i can't
think of the word anyways not
professional there so uh vanessa
hutchins turns 33 she's a high school
musical yeah i believe so i am a sharpay
fan to the core
that was the blonde one right mm-hmm
okay okay
the only thing good of the zack and cody
shows too well zach and co i hated those
zach and cody those twins yeah oh one of
those annoying tv
shows the sweet life oh oh no if it
wasn't if it wasn't for what's her name
that play the same girl that played
sharpay okay what's her name
i i'm pulling a blank
i'm pulling a blanket you think of that
i'm gonna okay so think of the next
mm-hmm
ashley tisdale
ashley tizdale without her zach and cody
like would have been on
the worst show possibly on tv is that
even their name the suite life of zach
and cody yeah yeah horrible show
horrible show ashley ashley made that
whole show go ahead okay happy birthday
to vanessa the last birthday we're
talking about celebrating today is king
george vi king george's now you said
that yes and i looked up who king george
vi was okay
i thought this was somebody who would
have died back in the 1700s you know
like king george this is yeah right
because it sounds like this like well i
thought so because i'm like oh he would
have been 126.
like that's old they died in like the
1950s was
what did he do like was he the king of
what i don't know who he was but we put
him on king george the seventh
maybe that's uh will and kate's son his
name's george
no
that's not right no no because then the
dad it would be like you know but
wouldn't isn't it weird though i thought
it was weird that there was a king
george the sixth that was born in the
night that like died in the 1950s that
just said it sounds like medieval like
the artist formerly known as prince well
that sounds very 90s and 80s but that's
what i mean it was like it's weird for
king
hi i'm king george vi it's like the
1950s you're what
that seemed weird but happy birthday to
that dead man yeah 126. looking good
well shall we get this thing rolling oh
you know i'm always ready for that
roll it
[Music]
well it is time for yet another
word of the week mary jane
what is the word the word word word is
the word is that that was a song right
it's
oh the bird
bird how did you not know that what
everybody knows about the bird
no i messed up the words
moving on
what is the bird mary jane
the word is cherry
or
also known as
the heater
the heater the heater give him the
heater ricky no you don't like that
movie's from
your whaler park boys she lives off of
the only ricky i know is from trailer
park boys
she lives off of the
thing of play me a little bit of a song
or do a quote from a movie and always is
like what's that from and i never ever
know and then she's always like oh
how do you not know and then it's a big
long week-long battle anyways
um i'm now i'm i'm throwing it out here
on the show
give her the give him the heater ricky
trailer
no no that is the only from major league
one of the best baseball movies ever
charlie sheen and the manager yells out
throw him the heater reggie okay well
this is a different heater okay but i
like you don't want to catch this heater
i always what i'm what i'm enjoying too
is word of the week now
is going into this every once in a while
there's like this is the word of the
week which is also known as this word
which is also known as this word which
is sometimes known as this word well we
could call it the cherry all right yep
but then you'd be like
some people call it the heater
okay so it's two words yes well it's
bonus episode same thing it's like
potato potato okay so i'm assuming
there's a reason why it's called both
the cherry and the heater there must be
a connection here yes um
okay so
it's it's the red hot glowing bowl
on the bong or
the red hot end of the joint
so it's called the cherry most of the
time because it looks like a cherry it's
red
it's round
because it's either in the bowl or it's
on the joint
um they also call it the heater
because it's hot
makes perfect sense right
um
so i always say the rule of thumb
if it's red it's not dead
okay
like this record circle right there if
it's red it's not dead we're still going
how many times have we recorded when
that circle wasn't there and then
wondered what went wrong
you know the best is when we go over and
hit stop and it's actually recording
you're like oh
funny in hindsight not when it happened
so
so um yeah if if it's still red it's not
dead keep smoking
okay
this also is the number one reason why
you should not consume cannabis while in
a moving vehicle
okay
okay
don't know
number one
reason oh like i i feel like i should
have another rhyme here like don't drop
the heater in your cedar
that's a good one actually right don't
drop the heater in your cedar oh how
about this
if you drop the cherry
it's gonna be scary
i like both those
because it is like you just don't do it
this is more than word of the week this
is like literally like life lessons life
lessons from mj
yeah and and it's illegal hello
reason number one right there
i love how that was
yeah
okay well what was it though don't don't
drop the heater in your cedar yep okay
and what's the other one if you drop the
cherry it's gonna be scary drop the
scary yeah
you're already tongue tied
i just i i'm actually just surprised
that this this segment is already done
we're done
[Music]
we ended those are two good phrases to
end it on it is yeah
there was your words of the week
[Music]
live
today's high five list is timmy's top
five yoga poses now
i'm going to be honest with you
uh i didn't know if i would ever have a
high five list of favorite yoga poses
didn't you actually used to preach
against yoga
i used to preach against yoga i was dead
i thought it was for women i thought it
was for
flexibility and that was it i didn't
think you could get a workout of it i
mean it is no it is no secret
that there was a point in my life where
yoga was a joke and it has now radically
changed my life but i am here to tell
you
that there are five
very very very helpful moves that i've
that not only helped me um with health
and strength and balance
are you gonna go to the shoulders well
they they did help create and form these
amazing yoga shoulders i feel like i
should like
this is why you watch the show
and don't just listen to the show so if
you've been listening on podcast form
thank you
all right you're missing the show
but you're not getting the shoulders
so here so these were also not only did
they did i see improvements in my in my
body because of learning these poses
okay um but
they also um each one of them along the
way kind of were signposts
to show that yoga was was working okay
right so it was like i would look around
the room and by like
why can't i do that because it'd be like
when i first went there literally
there'd be like um
i don't know like a 60 year old woman
who i don't know i don't want to guess
their ages they're older older and older
woman and i was sitting there thinking i
can do that and then they'd be holding
these poses and i'm like i can't do that
but each one each one of these poses was
a a place where i was like oh wait a
minute i can do this pose now
and each one blew my mind a little bit
more and i realized this thing is
actually beneficial
yeah
you took me to one of your yoga classes
and i i don't know about the beneficial
part
it is it is for a special breed of human
being
but your shoulders would be amazing
it would help with that back posture
so here we go timmy's top five
yoga poses
number five
was the tree pose
oh i like that one i know that one right
the tree pose you you stan you stand
like like arms up in the air are we
gonna put a photo up
yes where where are we gonna put the
photo are we gonna put it like right
here
it will show up
here
i mean what if we put it like right here
oh right there okay
so
um if you're once again if you're
listening uh you'll have to go over and
see these poses also during the week
sometimes um someone they'll be on our
instagram page so the tree pose
it looks really easy so your hands are
in the air and you do like this thing
where you fold your your one leg and you
got to put your foot on the inside of
your thigh
yeah you gotta like bend your legs like
it's like bending like a triangle thing
and it looks really simple
um but i realized very quickly that i
couldn't keep my i'd ha first of all i'd
have to like
hold my leg and like lift it into
position and move it into the right spot
and then you know one leg was stronger
than the other isn't that the trick to
the tree pose is the foot that is off
the ground is to be rooted i say rooted
because that's like a yoga term right
and to tree pose very very appropriate
to be rooted into your other leg so that
way you can ground yourself with the
foot that's on the ground yes
no pun intended and it should have been
intended it's very well done
and um yeah so you need to kind of
push that
leg into
or your foot into your leg
when i when i first pulled that off and
realized that i was able to have balance
like this with my leg bent in um i was
like okay i see this because i also
didn't realize how important
balance
was see i do the swaying tree
that's that's a good move the good yoga
move the swaying tree
actually they call it yo it's funny i
always think it's funny when they say
the reason why we call it yoga practice
is because we're always practicing we
never get there and so if you sway
that's exactly what somebody would say
oh that's okay you're doing the swaying
tree
yoga is actually kind of very much
although it's an ancient form of
health and exercise type of thing it's
very much fits in today's culture of
everybody wins it's like you can't do
yoga wrong oh that's okay you fell over
you're the fallen over tree not true
because i went to i went to the gym one
time and i signed up for a yoga class
and i remember i was in the like didn't
want to go in the back because i didn't
want to draw attention to myself i also
wanted to be able to see but i didn't
want to sit in the front but yeah
somehow she was like
are you okay
and at that moment i was like
yeah
do i not look okay
and she says
not really
just doing my yoga practice and
practicing and practicing not to fall
over and like pass out because i don't
know what we were like
but i've seen you do the tree you you
can actually do a tree pretty well
number four
number four blew my mind and it was the
head stand which you absolutely love
that doesn't feel like yoga although it
does a good stretch on the
so here here's what here's here's what
it was that blew my mind number one i
underst i i quickly understood the
benefit of
being upside down um we have an inverter
a version table and that's why they call
it that just hanging upside down you
yeah well i guess you should be a bed
inversion bed but just that the gravity
pulling on your spine you feel it yep
and all the way down your spine and you
should spend some part of every day
um upside down just because of you know
like you figured you spend all day right
side up no wonder when you're 80 you
start to crouch like this because you've
had 80 years of gravity like like pretty
much pulling you pulling you down well
fun fact they actually say you're taller
in the morning than you are at time
because when you lay down at night your
back like stretches itself out
that's why people take pictures of
themselves in bed makes them look taller
so the headstand what was neat about the
headstand for me was and if you've never
been able to try one number one um
i had never done one before so i put my
hands on the table and i was working
with uh at creekside yoga in uh in
sterling ontario
that's the place that got me going
and
so it was just me
and um so it was kind of like a
um a specialty class
even though it was supposed to be other
people there but it was it was it was
just me or a two on one
so
um i go to go in i'd go to do the thing
and you got to bend your your knees and
slowly like right straighten your leg
and i was amazed at how quickly i was
able to do it and the reason why
i was amazed was because i shouldn't be
able to just do something for the first
time and do it
decently like that but then i realized
how important the core
workout was in in holding yourself up in
that position and i had already spent at
that point like two years
of doing regular yoga classes and so i
had developed the core strength to be
able to do it it's kind of like when my
daughter she learned to ride a bicycle
the very first time she got on the bike
i didn't even have to hold the bottom
because she was on a tricycle for so
long
that
when she and people be like oh she
doesn't ride a regular bike yet i'm like
now she's having fun on this little
trike that by the time she had got on a
bike
she had um
she was older than most kids that tried
to buy bike but by then she'd already
developed the motor skills and the
balance and all that stuff so by the
time she got on the bike i think
sometimes we throw people into things
way too early and so we're like oh
there's a learning curve it's like well
maybe there's no learning curve maybe
you just put people
into things way too quickly because she
picked it up like that because her body
had developed i don't know i don't know
i know what child you're talking about i
think it was just she was having too
much fun and going way too fast that
there was no not riding the bike it was
just she might have just been a really
quick learner but that's what the
headstand thing was i i realized that at
that time i realized i had developed
some sort of core strength
number three on timmy's top five yoga
moves is the cow facing legs
so the cow facing legs
photo i'm all confused because
yeah i don't get to see this photo but
is is it like a cow facing a pair of
legs well you've got your knees like
this or like this let's do it like well
you can see so they'll see the picture
but i'm doing this for your own benefit
okay
but so it's like this your knees are
like this oh no i'm looking at the
stacked on top okay so look at the photo
okay so the knees are stacked on top of
each other
and then you fold over
and touch well in my case i touch my tin
my chin to my knees
i did not know the importance of your
hips sounds painful
i think it's cow facing because it's
like it looks like carrying a cow's face
anyway it's not a leg facing cow
um no i mean that might be the name of
another
believe me the names that these things
and this isn't even the official name
it's probably called the yaksui
salami
thing i don't know what the official
name is but the cow facing leg was that
was the best english translation they
could come up with
but i didn't realize the importance of
hips now as a man you are always raised
up for things like you know you want to
well yoga shoulders
muscles you see how many guys like like
spend their entire life
so that they're cheap they buy their on
top and right in the bottom with the
little and some of that is health
related a lot of it is this aesthetics
okay it's it's like i look good i want
to be able to take my shirt off at the
beach that's that's the thing at some
point
um that sort of muscle definition is no
long no longer serves a purpose of of
health except for the fact that when you
get down to about 12 body fat that's
when um
the six pack starts to pop
and as much as you might go well that's
just for aesthetics i mean when you get
down to low body fat that's a it's a
healthy place yeah but we don't need to
add more muscle to that that percentage
of body fat
very true
so
i start i started to realize that there
are days now where it's like if i had
the choice
to
do weights
or stretch out my hips
i stretch out my hips every single time
it's an amazing feeling and you would be
amazed when you first start to try to do
a move like this one um
you go wow i didn't even know that my
hips were in that bad of shape and then
you realize how important hips are for
moving around and walking well it's
flexibility right like if if your hips
like you're like oh i'm gonna choose my
hips over my my arms but
if you don't flex your hips you're not
gonna be able to walk they're afraid i'm
gonna be able to do anything
let alone work on your arms don't
underestimate the power of the hips
number two the hips don't lie my hips my
hips do not lie
number two on my list of number of top
five
yoga moves is the half pigeon now the
half pigeon as you can see is a um
it's another hip opening thing but with
with your leg kind of bent 45 right in
front and leaning your entire body over
where are they looking here is this
where it is the picture that's where
you're describing you're like doing the
hand things but if the box is there well
i can move the box up here if i want to
that's what you can put it right here
right now just so you all know she she
is looking at the screen but don't worry
about that i don't want to hold the box
that's fine you can okay so you will
hold the box there
so
um you might need to hold it bigger for
people to actually be able to see the
image
so on this one here though i remember
looking around the room going like i
could i could barely like move like you
know 45 degree angle and the more i did
it the more i got to the point where i
could actually put my chest to the
ground
and it feels incredible i'm telling you
all of these moves you go okay i can't
maybe some of you maybe maybe some of
you are like that's an easy move but
it's probably because you've been doing
it for a long time but some of these are
like i could never do that every single
one of these moves at one point i was
like
i cannot do that and it hurt and it was
like there's no way i can get down that
low never ever and then eventually i
could and it's a good lesson in life um
you know just right the first couple
times you try something it's so
important not not to give up i've i've
done yoga with timmy a couple times and
i'm not ashamed to say that i've cried
multiple times
because it was really hard and for some
reason being in the silence of the the
difficult pose and the strain and trying
to stay strong
gets in your brain and i find myself
standing there thinking this is like
life life is gonna throw difficult
things at you and you're gonna have to
be strong and stand there and not give
up and
oh next thing i know the tears are just
rolling i'm like
how much longer do we have you're like
it's only been three minutes wait does
yoga does yoga counteract
the effects of cannabis on you because
you talk about how cannabis you're like
your mind's always spinning
does yoga counteract that
no see okay
my mind spins all the time but um
when
i'm forced to stop like with yoga
i'm forced to stop but be sedentary
um and it leaves me with
now i'm forced to focus on this
whereas most of the time i focus on this
so if i'm focusing on this i'm not
focusing on this
and when i'm forced to focus in here
then it creates things like um what did
i start talking about last time we
finished yoga trauma trauma from from
past and i was like why
why it was like 25 minutes half an hour
of yoga
there's weird therapy but it's good for
good first drive well i've i've heard
similar things about cannabis though
that cannabis doesn't um
it's not and it's it's not an escape
because people talk about how people use
these things to escape life that in fact
if anything it's it it reveals things
that you don't want to be revealed that
it actually um and you realize i'm not
saying it's negative either though like
no no none of this is it's not negative
yeah well i just didn't want anyone to
misconstrue like yes i i cried when i do
yoga and whatever but like
that's what i feel like um is a part of
healing as well like in in life and in
our journeys things happen to us it
happens to all of us and a lot of times
we push it aside we didn't realize it it
affected us as much as it did and then
something happens and it comes back and
now you're left to deal with all of
whatever emotion is left um so i'm not
saying it's negative it was just
something that
i really feel the pain it's the pain in
my body that i'm i'm literally like
timmy says the hips i'm bent over and my
back my lower back is hurting and i'm
thinking about the fact that i'm young
and i shouldn't feel this sore
and
why have i done this to myself and now
i'm hard on myself and then it just it
turns into a whole therapy session that
i can't even well yoga for sure
definitely reveals all the muscles and
joints and stuff that you don't
you don't even think about for most of
your life well no because you don't use
them on a daily basis you use them on a
daily basis all the time but you but not
to the point of of utilizing them to
keep them like because our hips are
always being used as we walk and stuff
but we don't realize that they're
degrading over time unless we stretch
them out more and then we wonder
strengthened
the gift of life is not years one
through sixty no matter how hard you
live one through sixty everybody can
kind of get there yes there's accidents
along the way the key the true gift to
life is quality of life beyond 60 i say
you know i'm not a scientist i'm just
throwing this out there as a rough
example to say that the stuff that we do
now
um really does affect
that later on
i actually drank my water today and
number one on timmy's top five um yoga
positions my favorite one all time is
the crow i was gonna say i know this one
because i've seen it almost anywhere
that you can do it anywhere i go i i
will show people that um and it is
literally as you can see in the picture
people listening it's a it's a balance
you've got your knees on you've got your
hands on the floor i don't know where
the photo is but i want to leave lots of
room your knees freaking awesome your
knees go up onto your um elbows so
you're balancing just on the palms of
your hands with all of your body weight
on on kind of resting on your arms and
stuff um i could not hold this pose
for even a brief moment i'd always have
one toe touching down at any given time
and i'm looking around once again at
these older women going how are they
doing this for like like 10 15 20
seconds and i was ready to give up the
pose until one day my my held it for
like three seconds and i remember i
think i cried that day i'm like oh
and then i hit the i did a 10 count
one day and that was just that that was
actually the moment that i started to uh
like preach
for yoga and say this has radically
changed my life
um i had tried weightlifting things
and all these different exercise
programs for years the thing that gave
me some upper body strength it may not
have built muscle mass but the thing
that gave me strength which is very
different than muscle mass
was was doing poses like the crow and i
am stronger today than i was in my 20s
because of a pose like this so
i will say um
two times very impressive times i've
seen you do that
one was the last time
when you did it at lyft in the unicorn
onesie because it was really cold
and we had been outside for a really
long time so like i'm impressed that you
weren't froze and you were actually able
to do it and you did it for a long time
like i don't even know
25 35 that one threw me off i was like
uh are you
just gonna keep doing it until you fall
like what's going on here um
and the other time was on eric's boat
yes on the front of a moving boat i was
very proud of it well it wasn't moving
but
it was red water i was it was just so is
that moving it wasn't it wasn't moving
it was dark what's the definition of
moving it was on a dot it was like
docked however like it's on water um
i can barely stand and not fall on a
boat when it's on
the water
i'm not gonna argue and that's how you
keep it fresh it was moving those are my
top five yoga moves i suggest that you
all begin to try those and believe me
hang in there and you'll find incredible
benefits
or don't hang in there and fall but
you'll still benefit you'll be the
falling tree
that's funny nah mistake
namaste here
[Music]
hey everyone and welcome back to another
episode of on the spot with the newbie
and the doobie our special guest today
is ross rebliati i've been practicing
that all week
with all the passion that you obviously
exhibit right now for for cannabis and
the industry and and breaking stigma and
all those things
was that also
true about snowboarding like taking it
back one step now did was was that an
all-consuming thing for you as well
what it was i i ski raced until i was
15. okay um
i started snowboarding
when i was 15
the same year i stopped obviously and
that was 1987. in 1987
you weren't allowed to snowboard in
canada
really
yeah
huh what do you do you there was no
snowboard shops in canada
there were no snowboard magazines there
was nothing if you wanted to go
snowboarding you had to go to france
right
basically
um my friends went down to oregon that
summer of
87 around maybe it was summer of 86
came back with snowboards from oregon
and my friend from france
who moved to vancouver where i was
growing up had a snowboard from france
and
all of a sudden my friends all had
snowboards and i got one um we started
just snowboarding and
like hiking up cypress bowl before it
opened
and snowboarding you know or the local
parks in vancouver
um eventually our my dad would drive us
down to washington to mount baker where
they they were already allowing
snowboarding but it wasn't until 88 that
we were allowed to snowboard in in
canada and and colombia so there was
snowboard prohibition and then so when
we came was the first person literally
to go up the chairlift on blackcomb
and at the time whistler didn't allow
snowboarding
just blackhole did they weren't owned by
the same people as they are today
and so
opening day of 1988
i was like practically first in line out
of everybody
and it wasn't like the mayhem that it is
today on opening day
but um i was literally like the first
guy out black home on a snowboard and
there there was so much discrimination
by skiers they hated us so much
we were like the skateboarders that
somehow like tricked everybody to let
them on hold
you know and we were getting dissed like
people were yelling at us off the
chairlift and
um you know as a 15 year old it was
great
why would there be so much hate
oh because they said they're a certain
brand right
it's like
listen there's right wings gears all
over the place just like there's in any
any aspect of society right
and so
snowboarding was like the new like enemy
right it was like the big they're
they're dangerous like hear them you
must be afraid of snowboarders because
they're just going to come out of left
field and take you out
but yeah they did they they would
take you out but the skiers would take
each other out it wasn't a different
phenomenon it was just like oh it was a
snowboarder
right and then they're like oh they're
wrecking the groomies
and
you know the next thing you know they're
building half price and snowboard parks
right and like the mountains literally
at the time if you look back in history
there was a huge recession right the
stock market crashed ski resorts were
going bankrupt they had no choice
but to do something to boost their their
ticket sales right same thing happened
to the olympics that's why in 94 they
said we were going because the kids were
watching the bobsled right they didn't
want to watch the cross-country skiing
or any
whatever you know legacy sports they
wanted you know and so the olympics had
to figure out
you know we needed snowboarding and
the same thing now with shikari happened
she doesn't get to compete millions of
dollars were lost on tv rights and that
race that she was going to do
and the bonuses and all trickles down
the line just because of the thc so now
they're reviewing the thc because like a
big ticket event got affected you know
and the bottom line got infected and so
now all of a sudden they're reviewing
which is great i don't really care why
they're reviewing it get it off the list
it doesn't need it's not supposed to be
there it's only there because of
prohibition racism discrimination
corporate um
you know
interests and nothing to do with keeping
a level playing field and nothing to do
with the spirit of sport you know
let's just get into that for a second
the ioc
supports like just as an example lgbtq
right across the board okay not all
countries are behind that the olympics
does it anyways right because it's the
right thing to do it's the same thing
it's exactly the same thing here with
with
cbd and thc
it shouldn't be there it doesn't matter
if some countries aren't aren't legal
it's the right thing to do get it off
the list
agreed
so i was talking to a friend a little
while ago and i i have
developed now friends on both sides of
the spectrum obviously most of my life
was people who
thought they if they thought they knew
anything about cannabis they were it
turns out they were wrong
but
i was talking to someone recently about
the cannabis and
um
i guess performance enhancement and
obviously you know you you're fully in
that
understanding that world my assumption
growing up was clearly it can't be
because it should have a negative effect
it should make you
lazy like the guy sitting in his couch
with chips on his stomach watching video
games all day that's that's the
perception of what what it should do to
you
but then the other side of it when i was
talking to this friend of mine was well
what if you needed cannabis because you
couldn't perform on that stage because
you got so anxious so it actually kept
the anxiousness down therefore enhancing
your ability to perform is that
performance enhancement where
how do you see cannabis in this world
does it enhance it all not enhance just
what is your perspective when people
bring that whole issue up
okay it's all of the above but just the
last thing you said
that
cannabis isn't conducive to being on
stage it's not conducive to having
cameras in your face or being around
people you're not comfortable with just
like doing acid
you don't want to be around people you
don't know and definitely don't want to
be on stage on international level like
with cameras and guys with machine guns
standing around like it's just not where
you want to be right
it does you know but what it does do is
it trains you to be calm over the period
of time that you use cannabis because
you don't
like
i'm a healthy guy right across the board
like i don't i i used to drink i don't
drink anymore i'm three years into not
drinking
um loving it i don't want to like
we can dive into that whatever i don't i
don't care but i'm just healthy all
across the board so it doesn't like you
can take one thing away from me i'm
still going to be healthy right but
the thing is about
i lost my train of thought what was i
what was i talking about this is uh
performance enhancement uh
cannabis is not conducive to cannabis
so
as a cannabis user right you
i like
use cannabis on a regular basis i have
since i was around 20.
and i've learned that it can be part of
my of a healthy lifestyle for me
um and i've learned in situations while
i'm on canvas that it helps me in so
many different ways especially with my
family and my wife my relationships with
other people
um it gives me pause instead of like
quick quickly saying something like
having a sharp tongue or you know
and it makes it gives me a chance to
reflect on on things like when i'm
rolling a joint and when i'm smoking a
joint it gives me that opportunity to
reflect and it's introspective like i
like to say cannabis introduces you to
yourself right as an athlete
you often hear how much of a head gaming
is it's such a bad game it's all head
game everyone has the best snowboard the
best skis the best bobsled right the
gear is hardly the issue anymore right
it's all it's all upstairs
and
you know of course you need the right
coaching and a huge amount of support
um so there's a lot that goes into it to
be honest but it is really about even if
you have the best support group if
you're not feeling
confident upstairs
um and so here's here's the thing our
body has an endocannabinoid system it's
like our practically the biggest
like organism in our body it's like
number two besides the skin i think
prohibition has caused us to be
cannabinoid deficient okay
it's like being vitamin b12 deficient
it's not an excuse to be deficient and
and cannabinoids just because of
prohibition our body needs this stuff
right and mother's milk is super high in
cannabinoids but it's not it's it's
that's why babies are so like satisfied
after after feeding
um now that we have legalization in
canada
our bodies are legally allowed to run at
their optimal level right so
before prohibition i would have argued
yes it's performance enhancing for so
many different reasons okay
but now because of prohibition ending
and legalization and our understanding
of our endocannabinoid system
having it topped off with cannabinoids
just allows us to run at the level we're
supposed to run at and by the way they
figured out
when your cannabinoid cannabinoid system
is topped out
every single cell in your body does
twice as much as it does without that
wow
twice as much and that's everything that
your cells do not just your skin cells
or your your hair or your fingernail
cells
like your whole entire body your whole
thing is working
um not just twice as much but they're
doing twice as many things
so it
it it's an incredible like exponential
amount what your body does for you when
okay so
when we talk about performance enhancing
in the traditional sense of the word
you're like okay i'm going to smoke a
joy and i can run faster
that sort of thing
i don't know no one's really like done
that test i'd be willing to like do
tests like that um
and and see how
how it turns out but
i would argue that somebody who uses
cannabis is going to have a much more
even keel is going to show up to
training much more
regular is going to perform at a better
um you know optimal op is going to
perform optimally at those
at those training sessions and at the
end of the day after years and years of
training
all this positivity and the extra days
of training on the rainy days and the
cold mornings
um and the late nights and being away
from your family and somehow being able
to handle all that upstairs without
intoxicating yourself
um in a negative way and that whole
lifestyle that goes with it lens itself
to being healthier and performing at a
higher level and so
you can see it from lots of different
angles right um it all depends like
people interpret like in law and in
politics people who interpret the same
thing like a million different ways
see i'm glad you brought up the
endocannabinoid system because that's
that's my
i'm all about teaching and the education
and um i like to put things in terms
that other people can understand because
like everybody has a car right we all
have cars or vehicles or whatever we
know to check the oil we know to
you know the windshield washer fluid the
coolant the gas keep all that stuff done
but did you know that there's a little
fuse panel in there
and there's like little fuses and they
all have different numbers and a lot of
people don't know that but they also
don't know that like you said we have
all these endocannabinoid receptors and
although we're feeding ourselves you
know milk or dairy or cheap you know all
the stuff the meat the all your vitamins
but you're not getting the proper
cannabinoids
so that's why
when when ross is in yeah we just we're
just getting what we need
to be in this state of homeostasis in
the best state that we could possibly be
in and that will eventually help you
perform better
and guess what
when they made weed illegal whatever it
was 80 years ago that was like the birth
of big pharma
yeah because cannabis oil was the base
of almost every single medicine yep
thc tincture
on the planet was the base and then they
would add other verbs and things to that
to augment it to do different things
right but the base was was cannabis and
then
all this
issues that we're having with adhd
anxiety stress depression these are all
symptoms of having a deficient
cannabinoid system and the big pharma
has capitalized on
lobbying the us government to keep it
that way for one thing so that they can
sell people they're synthetic drugs
i mean the opioid crisis perfect example
no one's talking about the cannabinoid
crisis because yeah they want you to be
on those antidepressants yeah right yeah
but and and the opioid crisis oh it
doesn't affect me and you so we don't
give a [ __ ]
and who cares what the drug addicts do
and
you know and they're just continuing to
pump you know regions of the country
like i just tend to see for example i
think there's like 30
i don't know 30 million people that that
live in tennessee or less or no seven
million people live in the whole the
whole state of tennessee and something
like a hundred and eighty million
um
codeine pills or whatever had gone into
that state in the year before wow
[Music]
yeah that's for only about seven million
people it's like a hundred pills per
person yeah uh per month or something
like that well see um dr william
courtney uh doctor in the cannabis
industry or cannabis user in as a doctor
however you want to put it um he
believes that cannabis is
not just a vitamin but it's it's a
vegetable um and actually juices the
cannabis plant and drinks it every day
like not blends but juices with the
wheatgrass juicer it's disgusting i've
tried it but super healthy and like
you're saying to get a really big boost
of of cannabinoids and we're trying to
make up for how many years like my my
mother was deficient her mother was
deficient and it's just been bred into
us and and i've got just what i smoke so
yeah well it's a generational thing
because we do have to deal with the
stigmas and and things like that um you
know to move forward and we also need
the numbers that we weren't allowed to
gather
you know before um
and once cannabis has been legal for a
certain amount of time they'll have the
hospital visits that are related they'll
have the car accidents that are related
they'll have the
various deaths
like everyone knows there's never been
death like
due to cannabis like on its own
um but they'll have these numbers yeah
and
be before they have these numbers of
course the
you know we have these child-proof lids
and you can't have like
a picture that a kid is gonna like all
of a sudden
decide to smoke weed like just like
there's no vodka bottle with a child
proof cap on it you know advil 72 bottle
does not come with a child proof thing i
can open it with one finger and i called
to ask them why this was so and they
said if i needed a child proof lid that
i should buy this smaller bottle because
that one comes with child proof thing
and i was like wait a minute
this bottle is three times as much this
is gonna kill somebody but it's okay
it's up to it's up to you know good
parenting of course you know if they're
leaving it up to the discretion of the
which they should do i mean i'm a
believer of child proof okay i've got
three kids i get it okay
why should cannabis be different though
that's my thing like why do our cannabis
packages have to be like
ridiculous
no that's what and exactly and that's
why they need these numbers that i'm
referring to so because the politicians
don't know
they they think this is like codeine
or like a regular pharmaceutical drug
because it started off in a medical
the only way we could get it through the
courts was medically and so it's been
classified as a drug but
coffee's not considered a drug oregano
isn't considered a drug rosemary or none
of that stuff is considered drugs it's
the same exact sort of
plant medicine that we're talking about
with cannabis and they're not
classified as drugs but the the class
one
classification the states has put it on
the schedule one
and the prohibition that the states has
spread around the world
um
or also you can't be an ally of the
states
has created this
huge
like massive issue right and that's why
you know it's still federally illegal in
the states because it's tied into so
many diplomatic
relationships that they have and
they have a hard time backpedaling
i really appreciate um
just as you walk through the cannabinoid
system and it's one of those things as
i've been on this learning journey it's
been amazing of how much stuff wasn't
told to me and when you talk about that
it makes sense to me and i've learned a
ton as mj talks about that thing and it
makes me think about
like i'm i'm anti-uh
pharma whatever whatever you want to
call it like there used to be a time
when i would pop a tylenol every single
day because i get these stress headaches
and
then
four years ago
as a joke
i started to do yoga because i thought
it was just for women and flexibility
and i wanted to do something on my
instagram that was funny
and now i swear by it i haven't taken a
tylenol in three and a half years
because
i was only dealing with the symptom and
yoga a natural form of stretching
actually
removed all the things that i was taking
the pill to kind of just get rid of the
headache for and when you talk about the
cannabinoid system
that to me makes it sound like
cannabis
is as much a performance enhancer as
get enough sleep
um do regular exercise
eat healthy
like
it
if if somebody is he lifts them what's
that
it's part of a healthy lifestyle yeah if
somebody is if somebody is an athlete if
two athletes and one is
on a better sleeping regiment eating
healthier and doing a better exercise
program
technically their performance has been
enhanced over the one who hasn't and
that's exactly what cannabis is it's
adding another element a natural element
so if you want to call that enhancement
that's just called healthy living is
what i'm hearing
yeah yeah and then in the sports like
like cycling for example like the tour
de france like marginal gains are kind
of what they're after they're set
they're and running those guys from
kenya that that run the mayor of the
boston marathon they're literally down
to like what shoelaces
they're using to try to
because and and so it's these small
differences that you can put together
called marginal gains and cannabis and
water
and potassium and all these things that
you need as a as an athlete and as a
normal person
um just add up to being you know
on almost unbeatable and you do need all
those things because you're only as
strong as your weakest link right and
stress happens to be and anxiety and
depression happen to be very good
friends with athletes
and
and
not drinking and sleeping going to bed
early waking up early
having a lifestyle that's um repetitive
that um is sustainable for for years on
end like for your whole life
you know like i don't go on a diet i'm
on a diet like i'm not on a diet this is
my diet like that's the concept that you
have to think about like you don't go on
a diet
you you fix your diet so that you eat
like that every day of your life or you
know
and and it's just a different
mindset really and it's the people that
are open to using cannabis that are also
more open
to those different kinds of mindsets and
and thinking outside the box and it
really does make you more comfortable
when you're uncomfortable and that's
what we we're getting back to as far as
stress and things like that you don't
need to smoke a joint that day
but if you've been training yourself
like yoga for example like smoking
weirdos like
like over a period of a decade you will
train yourself to be more calm
and if you watch like interviews with me
at the olympics like the reporters were
like you're so [ __ ] calm
but i know but i'm all tore it up inside
like you wouldn't believe what it was
like being in jail but yeah
wow well i can tell you um
quite frankly i could probably say look
uh
the biggest win that you've had is i
might walk out of this room and smoke a
joint now because i'm healthy in all
other areas of my life and now i'm like
did ross gold just uh convinced me to go
smoke another joint well listen if you
do that just remember dosing is
everything like you match it to your
tolerance yeah instead of having like
a big puff have a teeny tiny little hoot
and flick that joint as far away from
you as possible
well it is that time again time for a
smoke
