And I'll start here for everyonelistening.
We appreciate you so much. You are such a well read,
sophisticated, highly advanced and educated group.
And these questions really reflect how deep you want us to
go with some of these important topics.
So I'll start with the first one.
On that note, here's the first question from our amazing
audience. Be honest.
OK. When's the last time you flexed
(00:21):
in a mirror? Yesterday.
Yes, this morning. Stop it.
(00:44):
All right, man. Welcome to Running Free.
This is our third episode under the banner.
We're going to have some fun. I'm Jesse Carrijet.
I am Justin Mazars. Hello.
Hello. Hello, Justin.
We've got a funny one for today,man.
We've been talking about doing this.
This is our very first Ask us anything.
We're calling it the Variety Pack, and what we did was we got
questions from the audience and maybe a little bit of ChatGPT if
(01:06):
we didn't get enough questions. But we got some great questions
and we're going to hit them kindof rapid fire.
The idea is let's see what our audience wants to know and let's
have some fun, man. You got any concerns about this?
I do not right now. Ask me in about half an hour.
We're going to come in. We're going to come in hot here.
(01:27):
I've got the questions in front of me.
I tried, I tried my best. I read them once to make sure
that they were appropriate, but then I didn't ruminate because I
wanted to just kind of like answer in real time.
And I'll start here for everyonelistening.
We appreciate you so much. You are such a well read,
sophisticated, highly advanced and educated group.
And these questions really reflect how deep you want us to
(01:48):
go with some of these important topics.
So I'll start with the first oneon that note.
And Justin, you're going to go first.
Here's the first question from our amazing audience.
Be honest, OK? When's the last time you flexed
in a mirror? Yesterday.
BS this morning. Stop it I.
Didn't Live Today I couldn't because I had the kids thing at
school yesterday. Yesterday was a was arm day and
(02:11):
and cardio and afterwards I I was getting in the shower and I
you know when you look in the mirror and you're.
Like, oh, right. Hey there, Hold.
On a second, I'm going to take advantage of this pump and then
quickly was walked back down to reality as my kids kicked open
the door and daddy, what are youdoing?
Oh, it was a it was a elongated flex routine, like kids.
(02:31):
I didn't. It was like a 25 minute, like I
did a whole dance. It was all I'm kidding.
No, it was not that at all. I I I should be fair?
I should answer it too, but like.
Yeah, I was just going to say now stop laughing, funny guy.
Answer the sneak damn question. When did you flex in the mirror?
This morning. I knew it.
But it was not going to be honest, like I'm a little
married. It's not like I'm not like
(02:52):
hitting like routines. You know me neither.
I don't even know how to do that.
I don't either. I'm proud of that.
But like I'm. Good with that.
Yeah, like, all right, flex, right.
What is flex? You just kind of tighten up a
little bit. Yeah, well, you know, 1-2 all.
Right, I got out of the shower and I have to walk past the
mirror. To get to.
My, I don't, I wouldn't call it flex.
(03:13):
I'm just checking in. I just check in.
How's. What I'm working with today
guys. That's it.
How are we doing? What was?
How did I do it? Mirror.
I do what was your What did you do?
What was your flex? I was just like a quick little
like, oh, OK. And then I did like one of like,
you know, then I might have hit a double buy.
I'm not going to lie, I might have done that.
That, that was it. I promise.
Like you said, be honest, Jesse.Well, they said be honest.
(03:35):
They led with that because they understood that we might not be
honest. I don't hit the double by
because I don't have the biceps you have.
I don't want to be disappointed with my double by SO.
You need to be guided to yourself, Mr. Seger's arms
blowing out of your shirt over there.
Let's go now I hit AI. Don't even want to elaborate.
I don't. This is awesome.
I'm working on fat loss, so I hit a little like, what have we
(04:00):
got? Tighten it up and see what I'm
see, what I'm like. Maybe in the stomach feel a hard
dishes. No, I don't take it, although
shoot, man, we're riffing. I will occasionally if I feel
happy with my little flex. I will occasionally if my wife
is in the room, I'll turn and belike, what do you?
What do you like? Hey you.
See a different? I know what I'm saying, I just
want to make sure you're seeing what I'm saying.
(04:20):
Do you see it? Do you see a difference?
Am I getting there? And usually she's like, sure,
like, damn it. Thanks babe, I needed that.
Oh, great question. Here's where we'll go next.
I'm going to sum up gym pet peeves, right Here's the
question. Who is the most annoying person
at the gym? Paint a vivid picture.
(04:42):
I I think they're looking for like a caricature of like the
types of humans that you run into in that weird environment.
But how do you even? Use one.
Yeah, I've got like 6 in my head.
Yeah, I. Have at least three that I can
go into which is. Why I've built a gym in my
basement so I'm not just frustrated every single time, I
mean. I don't want to say mostly older
people, but I'm going to say mostly older people at my gym
(05:06):
like treated kind of like socialhour and it's like let's have 7
elderly men hang out on the shoulder press and there's only
one that's working right now. So I feel like the asshole for
going up and saying, hey guys, happy Friday.
Just just wondering are you how many more sets do you guys have?
Because I was can I work in? Are you using that apparatus
(05:26):
that's intended to be used at any point you.
Guys are laying on can I use it for what they made it for
please? Thank you.
That guy and then the guy who does calisthenics and handstand
push ups in the middle of the floor so.
Which you can't do, which is probably why that upsets you.
That's exactly why I can't do itand I want, I have way too much
(05:47):
things to happening to be able to pull up and push up and I
can't do it Jess. Handstand push ups are humbling.
You think you're fit, you try todo one of those things to
balance the coordination. Dude, you're you're in trouble.
All right, so, so we'll call it,I don't know, I'm going to come
up with a name for this, but like lingerer guy or time waster
and calisthenics guy. Super not.
(06:07):
I mean people like there's plenty of people who do
calisthenics and they're not obnoxious about it in my
opinion. But I think we all know the
person that I'm talking. About I think so too.
I think so. I was in New York City the
earlier this week and I saw an elder Asian man doing Tai chi in
the middle of the floor. So Tai chi all for it envious
Wish I knew it. Wish I had the patience and I'm
those dudes live till they're like 95 S power to them in the
(06:30):
middle of the gym floor. Not a fan of that one.
But dude, I've got I've got, I don't come across as overly
cynical, but I've got a couple. I've got selfie stick guy.
That's my name for the guy who'slike, you know, usually younger
gentleman, probably high schooler.
This, you know, no shame by the way, which I admire, but you
know, just pop in selfies And then I think, I don't know what
(06:52):
they call this guy, but creepy old guy that clearly comes for
the women and not for the workout.
That makes it all less obvious that you're staring, bud.
I think if I had to pick one, the caricature, it's actually
the grunter. Like you see people like, you
know, you're working out even with headphones on and you hear
like. Dude, you're doing calf raises.
Stop. I get like if you do that, like
(07:16):
when you're peeking on like yourfour net and it's your heaviest
1 and you just need that extra, but it's like when you're doing
that every Rep across the force.It's 9:30 on a Tuesday.
Why are we yelling? And I can't even like non
verbally like every time I'm like.
You can't. No, they deserve every bad look
and then fist that gets thrown their way.
(07:37):
Oh, that's good. That's good.
You want to move on to the next one.
Yeah, I'll do it. OK, this one's interesting.
Justin. I think your I think your wife
actually wrote in because this question is very, very specific
my. Friend, here we go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it says here I.
Swear to God, Alyssa. What is?
(08:01):
What is Alyssa's three letter nickname I.
Knew. I knew that that is exactly what
was coming. I couldn't let.
Me repeat it because you jumped in so fast.
What is your wife's three letternickname for you?
I can't answer that, but becausemy answer is going to come off
(08:21):
insanely conceited and I did notcome up with this nickname.
OK, what is it? You know what?
Let's get Alyssa on on one of these episodes.
She can dive into that one. I'll just say the letters you
don't have to leverage. I'll say the letters BDJBDJ
maybe? I just paint them a picture.
At this point it's BDJ. We'll just.
(08:42):
Yes, that's it. You guys have some fun with what
you think those letters mean. Please send us some comments of
what you think they are. Oh my God that would be so fun.
Please. We'll leave it on.
Yeah, please, please someone DM us and tell us what they think
BDJ means. And by the way, the the last
one's Justin for Jay. If anyone wants to know, you can
use your imagination. Look, one in 10 American today
struggle with alcohol use disorder and I was one of them.
(09:04):
Did you know that there is a safe science backed daily pill
that you can take to drink less or even quit alcohol for good?
It's called Naltrexone, a doctorprescribed medication that you
get online and our sponsor OR Health is the nation's leading
provider of naltrexone. To date OR Health has helped
over 35,000 people find freedom from alcohol and I'm proudly one
(09:27):
of them. To get started, text Strength to
710710 again, that's strength to710710 and get started on your
journey to finally find freedom from alcohol.
All right, moving on. This is this one.
This one's cool. I can't wait to hear your
answer. What is the most underrated
(09:48):
movie of all time and why? Do we want to do like a genre or
just any movie? Whatever comes to mind.
Maybe unappreciated, Maybe you think it should have gotten an
Oscar but no one else did. Maybe it's just unknown and
people need to know about it. I can go first if you want.
You can go first because I have two and I need to make a
decision on OK. True Lies Have you ever seen
(10:10):
true lies? I feel like back in the day.
James Cameron. James Cameron Post Terminator
Pre what? What's the one with the blue
people that fly around on dinosaurs?
Avatar. Yeah, pre that, which in my
opinion is trash. It's a what?
A true story. Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure it is to do. True.
I think that to make kids every single show and movie we watch,
(10:31):
it could be Bluey, it could be like Spider Man, like girls.
You know, this is a true story. What?
That's cruel, man. Little kids.
Like what? Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Yeah, dude, Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime with
cast of characters around him that like let him just be like
Arnold in these funny ways. Action movie suspense.
But the the Bill Paxton, if anyone knows who that actor is,
(10:54):
Bill Paxton character in the movie True Lies is the most
incredible, quotable, hilarious character ever.
Like just the things he says in that movie.
I have to like it just makes thewhole movie.
But True Lies, I mean it, it in my opinion is like one of the
best movies ever made and it's in my top ten.
It'll make you laugh. It's suspenseful, it's action
(11:14):
and it's like true. Like I think it's like late 90s
when like blockbuster action movies that started bringing in
comedy. But James Cameron, who's a Titan
in Hollywood, just makes it likea phenomenal movie.
True Lies hands down. True lies.
All right, now that's gotten back, added to the list of
things that I need to rewatch. Got to see that one and it's not
a true story, just so you know. Well, now I'm not watching it.
(11:36):
I'm going to go the comedy routeand one that is very near and
dear to my heart and that is Tommy Boy.
Underrated. You don't think underrated?
Rated as a classic comedy. Maybe I hang out with the wrong
people, but I I that was like mydad and my favorite movie
growing up as a kid and like we watch it all the time whenever
(11:59):
it's on TV now I have to watch it too and like the amount of
one line quotes and like that slap happy comedy back in the
day with David Chris Farley and David Spade is like what I crave
and I want more of that. And I missed that.
I actually did my in college, mypublic speaking final on Chris
Farley got an A. I'm just saying it's the only
(12:19):
I've ever got in my life. But Tommy Boy, I'm going to go
with as the the underrated one only because I have a hard time
finding people who are as obsessed with Chris Farley.
And that would be as I am. But if you know some people,
just send them my way, man. I need some new.
I need some. New people.
I will. Is that the one with Gary Busey
when Farley like rolls down a hill and he's like, that's?
Black Sheep, which is awesome. Another very underrated Chris
(12:41):
Farley classic. Love it.
That's funny that your final public speaking topic was that
because mine. I had a public speaking class.
Mine was like what it's like growing up, dysfunction and
breaking free and blah blah blah.
Like all serious and you're out there talking about Tommy Boy.
Chris Farley was fat and told funny jokes.
That's awesome. This one will be quick.
(13:03):
What is the best healthy ish chain restaurant to hit up when
you're starving? I am going to go with we've been
on a big honey grow kick recently.
What is it? Honey grow.
What's that? I'm going to do a horrible job
explaining this place, but it's somewhat healthy in my opinion,
(13:23):
and you can get like a base. You pretty much build your own
thing. It's kind of like a Chipotle,
but a healthy bowl. You can do like noodle base,
protein noodles, egg noodles, and like all different kinds of
meat and toppings and vegetablesand stuff.
That's very good in my opinion, and a little bit different than
your standard number one extra Pickles from Chick-fil-A.
You know what I mean? I like it.
(13:44):
I like it. I'm going to go Cava.
Have you tried that? No.
Kava I'll use your reference. It's it's similar.
It's like the Chipotle of Greek food.
It's one of those models where you stand with your bowl.
Someone asks you what you want, you move to a different station.
You go down Mam seasoned chicken.
It's got like, you know, all like the feta, the olives and
everything. So you build a bowl.
(14:05):
But it's Greek food, which is myfavorite food hand down.
And it's it's healthy as long asyou don't start like dabbing on
all the extras. But I'm going to go Kava Anyone
hasn't tried that? Greek Chipotle is how I describe
it. I haven't had Greek food in
forever. This next one's fun Who, who?
Who is the more stately, mature gentleman between the two of
(14:27):
you? Between the two of us, I think
that the audience can probably answer that one quicker than I
can too. I'm going to go with me.
No kidding you by far. I'm going to disagree.
Get the hell out of here. It's literally impossible for me
to be the more stately, mature gentleman because there are two
(14:47):
things where I have brain rot and brain disease that like, I
will laugh at these two things for the rest of my life.
And those two things, and you cannot be mature and stately if
these are two things that make you laugh.
Those two things are farts. Always #1.
Classic and I can't stop when people say that's what she said
(15:08):
in a comedic timely way. Like you ever you know how like
in a pick one like Terminator, like when you see his vision and
he's like, you know, like zeroing in on things like audio
wise, like I'm like listening toconversations.
Opportunities to say that's whatshe said.
Example. Sure I was I went to my Barber
last week, Jordan Madden, mad Quest barbers.
(15:29):
If you're in Northern Colorado, he's amazing, but I'm in his
Barber shop. It's super small and it was like
me and like one other guy waiting and then like his other
Barber that didn't have an appointment yet.
And I'm literally I'm, I'm reclined in the chair like doing
that like hot towel thing, whichhe always asked me like, you
want the hot towel? I'm always like no.
I don't think I want the hot towel.
(15:50):
I don't understand it yet, but it feels sophisticated.
But anyway, I'm like, literally like laying there with like a
towel over my face, not supposedto be talking.
And I'm listening to this conversation.
And the other Barber, they're trying to like decide on like
decor for their barbershop and they want like a grandfather
clock, like one of those, one ofthose big clocks just for like a
mood and like a vibe. And I'm listening the
(16:11):
conversation and I don't know his, his friend barber's name,
but he's like, hey, Jordan, likelook at this clock man.
What do you think? And Jordan's like looking at it.
And again, I'm just sitting there like listening.
And he's like, oh, that's reallycool.
That's really cool. And he like hands it back to the
Barber. The Barber goes, I don't know
man, it's a little too big for this space sitting there.
I think he actually said I thinkit's a little too wide for this
space. And literally underneath the
(16:34):
towel. These dudes big.
I've been going there for like 2months.
They don't really know me that well.
I'm sitting there from under thetowel and I go.
That's what she said. What and the?
Dude, the dude on the chair thatwas waiting like he had his head
in his phone. He perks his head up.
They all start laughing. And it's a dude.
It's a well appreciated joke every time.
It's done well. It just levels rooms and like in
(16:54):
that space you got 4 dudes and all of a sudden for 10 minutes
until it died out and it wasn't funny anymore.
But like we had like they had this conversation trying to
continue the dialogue and keep it in frame.
So yeah, man. And in force.
What do I have to say, dude? I mean you I'm on a tear last
the last episode that we did theparenting 1.
Yeah. It was fully edited.
(17:15):
A lot of work goes into that. It's like downloaded and
uploaded to be published. And I listened, I listened to it
before. Like that morning, I went for a
run and I I'm 100% certain that there was a fart in that we got.
To figure out the time stamp of this that you have to identify
where the buttons. Came from and I'm not a
detective, but it wasn't me and there's one other person on that
(17:38):
episode with me and I'm looking at him so.
Very well, yeah. That makes sense.
That makes a lot of sense. But long that it snuck out, I
don't know. Yeah, but a little bit of a
protein shake day. But it, you know, it tells you
look up person I am. I didn't go back and edit it.
I was like, yeah, that works. That's gold.
It's staying in. Look, life can be hard and
stressful sometimes, we all knowthat.
(17:59):
But when it comes to supplements, why is it that
nobody talks about stress and resilience?
For me, I take the Adaptogen stack from Momentous
Supplements. It's a daily blend of
ashwagandha, rhodiola, and L theanine, all clinically backed

So I'm going to go with Justin as the more mature, I don't know
about Stately, but I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with
you on that one. Mom, are you listening?
Did you hear what Jesse just said?
Justin is a stately gentleman, that is for sure.
This one's interesting. I don't know where this one came
from, and I don't even know how to answer this one.
(19:06):
It says Where did the word chooforiginate from?
Jeez. I love my wife.
Do you know anything about that?What did Where did the word
choof CHEWF? What is that?
Yeah, man, this is this is actually a really funny story.
So years ago, I think Alyssa andI were still dating.
(19:26):
I don't think we were married yet.
So this is like 11 or 12 years ago.
We went out to eat with her parents at the Red Lion Diner in
I think it's in. It was in Evesham, New Jersey
maybe. South Jersey shout out.
And we were sitting there eating.
I think something fell or like the server or somebody like drop
something. And they, they, they walked
(19:47):
away. And one of the somebody said
something and like I meant to say like, like could have been a
lot worse than it was. And what came out was Choof and
Alyssa and her mom and dad both all kind of like looked at me
like, shoot, what did you say? I got to go.
(20:10):
I got to go. I got to go to the bathroom.
I'll be back. Is your mouth like you had you?
You knew you wanted to make a sound, but you thought about it
too much, and then you put some.Got ahead of my brain and
whenever that happens, things come out that don't exist in the
real world. And that's another scenario of
that happening. But it is still a running joke
to this. That dude.
The the level of red and pure like sweat out of embarrassment
(20:33):
that happened at the Red Line diner over my egg white omelet
that day is something that really could be written about
because it was quite alarming. Sure, do try it.
I would recommend see if you caninsert it into a conversation.
See how Meg takes it. Well, I'm probably just going to
do it with you all the time now,just to bust your balls.
Yeah, that's fine too. Dude, I love like when you have
(20:54):
like an inside joke and it's like random and a sound like I
do this thing all the time. My kids won't stop laughing so I
won't stop doing it. My wife doesn't think it's
funny. So instead of sneezing and
trying to be all like, you know,excuse me, whatever, I I do it
every one of my sneezes in my house, and I I mean every one of
them. I do it as loud as I can in the
voice of Mario from Mario Noigi.So, you know, like the old
(21:14):
school Mario 64. Yeah, Yahoo.
You know, every time I see this,you can be on the other side of
the house and you just hear Mario do.
My kids love it and I don't evencare.
I do it at the bus stop with theother parents.
Like I'm starting to like bring it into my daily.
I do it by myself in the car. Oh yeah, Oh yeah, by my exactly.
So weird. That is, I like that you got to
(21:36):
make fun, man. It's all about finding joy in
the little things. Even a sneeze.
You got to make it fun man. Even choof.
Even choofing and sneezing. Yeah, this is the last question,
and this is I guess not serious,but maybe more helpful in
nature. I think this is a good one and
maybe we'll wrap up with this. If you could pick only one
single fitness routine for the rest of your life, no
(21:58):
substitutions, what would it be and why?
I'm thinking this is like overall all in conferencing,
like, you know, weight training,cardio, like everything.
Like if you just pick one, stickwith it, tried and true and also
something you could adhere to your whole life.
What? Would it be me personally, I
would say weight training because I I think I would see
the most bang for my buck in benefits, not just physically
(22:21):
but mentally as well. I would definitely be.
Weightlifting. Weightlifting.
Cardio too. Yeah.
I mean, if I had, if I could do 2, I would absolutely include
cardio. But if I could only do one, I
would turn weight lifting into some form of cardio with some
sort of HIT style, you know? Yeah, yeah.
I would do exactly what I'm doing now and I would just taper
it down as I get older because Idon't know that I'll be able to
sustain the intensity. But I would have weight
(22:41):
training. I would have 3 or 4, you know,
steady state cardio sessions, couple HIT sessions.
The thing that I neglect that I'm trying not to is proper warm
ups and mobility, maybe some yoga factored in there.
And then what I would do is again, as if I can't deadlift
anymore, I'll, I'll find alternatives that still work
those muscles. And if I can't, like barbell
back squat, which I don't do as much, I'll find something else
that I can do. But I think my single fitness
(23:03):
routine would, would be all kindof like encompassing of strength
training, cardiovascular training, mobility, stretching
and all the things. That's what I do.
I think that's a good that's a good method.
I think mobility needs to be a bigger focus on my side as well.
I will say I spent 20 minutes doing mobility today.
You've. Got like injuries and stuff that
you have to be really intentional about.
Right. My back's an absolute mess, like
(23:24):
structurally, and there's thingsmissing, so that's fun.
But yeah, yeah. So this is fun and we we're
going to do this. If it's OK with you, we're going
to do this every month. We'll kind of wrap up the month
with a Ask Us Anything variety pack is what we're calling it.
I'll put you on the spot. Any any random questions you
have that you want to throw out there that we can wrestle with
or save it for next time? Now that you have your
(23:45):
lightning, gas or electric, Yeah, I didn't go fitness.
I threw a wild card at you. I've got a I'm two months into
an F-150 Ford Lightning. For anybody that knows electric,
I will go electric. Yeah, I'm hesitating because
there's been some serious inconveniences, like where I've
(24:06):
had to like pull off and sit there and waste 30 minutes.
But like if you plan better, youdon't have to do that.
But surprising to me, the reason, the real reason I didn't
buy my F-150 Lightning for performance.
But dude, oh, this is such a badpunt.
That thing is lightning fast andlike the performance of it is
just like next level. And that's been, that's been
(24:28):
really fun. So yeah, I would go that would

AI drive a super loud, heavily modified WRX that I can't get
