.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, this is episode 96.
We're talking about cognitiveenhancers and new tropics, which
we've talked about new tropicsbefore Yep.
But as we round out to episode100 and get into the end of the
year, I just wanted to coverwhat products we actually
started using and kept using.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, what are your vices, bro?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
That's right Not vices Tools Tools.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Tools in the toolbox.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Enhancers.
So yeah, this episode's aboutcognitive enhancers and new
tropics, but mostly about whatnew tools we got in the toolbox.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I dig it bro.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Let's dig in.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Let's jump in, dive in.
Speaker 2 (00:51):

All right, so very simple.
What are cognitive enhancers?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
OK.
Cognitive enhancers, also knownas smart drugs.
They're substances that aresometimes prescribed by health
care professionals to treatmedical conditions that affect
cognition.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, so I know new tropics is like the cool kid on
the scene, but cognitiveenhancements.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I've been around for a while.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Long time.
So thank Adderall, thankRitalin.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Some of these drugs to help alter our cognitive
state for an increase inperformance.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Basically, they took meth added what a couple extra
carbon atoms.
And then the pharmaceuticalindustry and then gave it to
people and they were like, hey,it's not meth Instead, it's
methylphenidate instead offetamines, so anyway yeah, one
example would be, like modafinol.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Modafinol Modafinol, yeah.
Originally developed to treatnarcolepsy, it's sometimes used
off label to enhance wakefulnessand cognitive performance.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Adderall Ritalin, and I'd never even heard of this
one, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So we weren't really a go to the doctor kind of
family.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Unless, something was broken.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So we never ended up on any of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So what about new tropics?
What's the difference betweenwhat's?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
the so new tropics often refer to as smart drugs,
but the biggest difference innew tropics most of them are
these are natural compounds.
It's a broader term.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
It encompasses the natural and the chemical the
pharmaceutical ones.
It's all of it.
It's all of it, but when you goon Google and you search new
tropics, typically a bunch ofnatural compounds come up.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
That's kind of the big thing right now yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's hot on the scene all this stuff that people have
been doing for years.
You know the usual yeah.
And it's like you take all thisshit humans have been doing for
thousands of years, put a fancylabel on it, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, I mean, if you looked at marketing today's
mushroom coffee was the early60s cigarette commercials.
Yeah, you know Pretty much Likesome of those ads from the 50s
and 60s are just Like this is sothis makes you cool.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, you've got to do this Like Crisco, crisco, you
remember.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Crisco commercials.
I actually I've been on acouple of tangents, but if you
go Google like 50s ads, it'ssome of the most comedic stuff
that you'll ever see.
Yeah, Like you know, want yourwife to be happy, get her a
better vacuum, and shit likethat.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, different times , simpler time.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, Having problems , you know having sex with your
wife, you know smoke marble, I'mjust some funny shit, you know
Van that was when, like therewas, like like they learned how
to manipulate us and there wereno rules.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, there weren't any regulations yet.
That's amazing, so should.
Paker quit working.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Smoke a pack of marbles, that's right.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That was the good old times.
That's like did cigarettes evengive you cancer?
If they hadn't done theresearch yet?
Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Maybe not, that's true.
I did see sorry last tangent,but I did see a report that
fries fried in vegetable oilscauses several days, if not a
week, of inflammation.
But a cigarette will causeinflammation in the body for
like an hour or two.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So anyway, yeah.
So what's some examples of likea natural chemical?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
natural compound, one that the majority of human
beings consume on a daily basiscaffeine that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, um, caffeine, I think it's just so normalized
now and everyone's sodesensitized to it.
You don't even think about that.
It is a drug.
It is a drug, okay, and we?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
did an episode on caffeine and how.
It's not that it makes youawake, it blocks your tired
receptors.
Yeah, adenosine yeah which ispretty cool, yeah, and you know
I'm so tired, and then caffeinejust comes and punches.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I know the face Said you know what.
You're tired receptors, nottoday.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Um Elthianine, yeah yeah, I've taken Elthianine.
Makes me have weird ass dreams.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Really yeah, so what are?
The drinks that we got.
Didn't?
The cova drink that we got hada Elthianine in it.
Maybe true cova, I think, orthe second one I bought, I think
, elthianine helps calm.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It's usually paired with caffeine and like, because
green tea naturally hasElthianine and caffeine, but
together they work prettysynergistically nice, but Bacopa
.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Bacopa.
Yeah herbal neutropic thoughtto improve memory and cognitive
function.
I haven't tried that which ison the list.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, I mean we're just throwing out a couple.
I mean there's, there's tons ofthem.
Yeah, you know, I'd not heardof some of these.
Some of them I know about.
I know about ginko biloba.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, that one.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I feel like that's been around the block our mom
had that in the herb cabinet.
Yeah, and then paracetam.
I've never even heard of thatbut, apparently it's one of the
older og.
New tropics, yeah, so anyway,take your pick, maybe some help.
Ashwagandha I know some peopletake that.
Yeah, what is it?
Tyrosine, l, tyrosine, mm-hmm?
There's all kinds of shit, yeah, and Everyone, everyone's body
(06:52):
is different.
Yeah so don't let someone inthe internet tell you that you
have to take something.
That this is the only one.
You just have to kind of Thinkabout.
What are you actually planningon using it for?
What's?
What's the goal?
Yeah, and what.
What works for you?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Well, I mean, you know try and a organic compound
is better than like trying.
You know crystal math, crystalmath.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So yeah, you're gonna do much harm.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Trying different organic compounds to see if it
helps you.
What's the um?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
what's the one students take, like when they're
doing exams?
Oh, it is at a roll, yeah, at aroll.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I've never taken it, but I'veheard like people clean their
whole house.
Oh yeah, take an Adderall andlike they'll clean the house for
three hours straight.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, shit like that.
It's our pain the walls.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, that's weird.
Yeah, that sounds like math.
Not that I've done that, butthat's what I imagine is, like
you just start going.
Yeah, so anyway, what about?
What about us, bro?
What do you use?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So you know we've done a couple reviews on these,
and some of these have becomehousehold staples for me.
One of those is everyday dose,and that's mushroom coffee.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, the mushroom coffee it, it's, it's legit.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I mean, I can tell when I don't drink it and I do
drink it.
Yeah, I can tell when I justdrink plain coffee.
I mix, we Were I would.
You would probably call uscoffee snobs, considering we get
our beans roasted from a friend, we use a French press, we
grind it every week.
Yeah and so I use two scoops ofthat and then a scoop of
(08:25):
everyday dose, which is mushroomcoffee with lion's mane and
chocolate.
Wonder your brands on fire, bro, damn son.
And it's like the perfect mixand it's a really good cup of
coffee.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You're not throwing the Folgers and that the moldy
plastic.
30 year old coffee maker.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I it's, I guess I would be a coffee stop now,
because I'm perfectlycomfortable not drinking.
I don't, fortunately, I Used todrink six cups of coffee a day.
I don't.
I drink, like usually, onebefore 7 am Now and that's
pretty much it.
So I don't.
I don't if I miss coffee.
I don't get headaches anymorelike I don't.
I don't have to have caffeine,but if I can't get good coffee,
(09:04):
I just don't drink coffee.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, folgers in the plastic is not coffee.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's fucking dog shit.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's not, I would even feed that to a dog?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I hate it.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, I think it's like the, the hotel coffee
machine, and I've only I havetraveled.
I traveled for like 10 years.
Yeah, you know, and I neverdrink hotel coffee, except for
like three times where I waslike, so I wasn't such a fucking
hurry, yeah, but I swear youcan just taste the mold inside.
They don't watch that shit.
No you know at the Holiday InnExpress that they're
(09:34):
understaffed in like.
Mississippi.
They're not washing.
They're not washing the coffeepots.
No machines, no, they're nasty,nasty.
It just tastes like burnt, likeboiled peanut water.
Yeah, oh, so gross.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I can't even drink coffee, even if it's good coffee
in a brand or a very cleanrather the dishwasher drip.
I can't even drink coffee outof a drip because for some
reason, like the, it makes itmore oily or something, and it's
just.
I can't, unless it's.
French press aropress or drip,I I'm with you, I just, I just
(10:08):
I'm just like why just not gonnadrink it then?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, I mean, if you're going to drink coffee
every day, yeah, might as wellbe the best version of a cup of
coffee.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I mean, if you could, if I can start my day with the
best version of coffee that I'veever had in my life, that's a
good life, that's a great life.
Yeah, yeah I mean that's whereit started today.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Not that I'm ripping on people who are in different
situations, but you know, somepeople have to drink the Folgers
.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That's just what they have access to.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So and that's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, all right, that's everyday dose.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That was only one bullet.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Next is Better Brand.
So Better Brand is somethingthat Instagram got me on this,
and it's the Instagram ad wherethey showed this mucus and it
was for better lungs and thatyou know.
It was like, oh, this is sogross.
That was the ad.
It's like, if you take thisstuff, it'll clear out your
lungs.
Well, it didn't do that for me.
(11:10):
I didn't cough up mucus, butevery year around Christmas,
every time I got a cold, a coughwould hang for like a month or
two and then I could feel it.
After seven to nine days thecongestion start to break up and
I'm just like.
That feels like I'm going todive pneumonia when I'm 60 if my
lungs can't handle a cold.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Now yeah, if they take that long to.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, to de-congest the mucus.
So I was like, all right, cool,I'll try this.
Well, I think I've taken itconsistently now for a year and
a half.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I don't know maybe a year.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But I've got COVID a couple of times and a couple of
colds and my lungs like two daysafter the sick sickness broke
up, coughed it up, Very nice,and I didn't have that two week
cough like immediate change andit's just an herbal supplement.
And then they have the samebrand, has what's called Better
(12:06):
Mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You didn't know it's in it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
No, I probably should have brought a bottle, but it's
a better brand.
Better brand is the company,better Lungs is the product, so
it worked for me.
I don't know what's in it.
Better Lungs Instagram got me.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I was like I didn't look at what was in there, I
just take it I saw the ad and Iwas like, sure, I'll try that.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And I did.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It worked so anyway, yeah, athletic Greens.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, that's the other one.
We did a review on AthleticGreens and it's another product
that I absolutely love.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, it's like if you're trying to crush out a lot
of work, it's nice for aroundlike 2 o'clock.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
When you're really starting to get worn out.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, and if you just don't like it's if you don't
want to take 80 vitamins.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
That too.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It has a lot of compounds in it from all and
it's Huberman Labs had it as oneof their main products for a
long time, so it's obviouslywell known, very trusted, and I
can.
Now we've taken that for a yearand I mix, so our kids have
always taken gosh.
I can't remember the name of it, but anyway, it's an herbal
(13:18):
supplement.
But so I mix my Athletic Greensand this other powder herbal
supplement and then we have somemineral compound and I mix all
that up with some ice and I puta little cherry juice, organic
cherry juice or organicpineapple juice.
Oh wow, shake that shit up, boom, and it's so refreshing.
(13:40):
That's typically what I'll dofor breakfast, like, and you
know.
I'll drink my coffee early andthen you have that for breakfast
, and then I'll have that beforeI head out Nice and if some
mornings when I'm just like youknow what I want a bacon, egg
and cheese biscuit and I havethose mornings.
And I eat a bacon, egg andcheese biscuit.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I think everyone has that kind of morning at some
point.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
And.
I love it it tastes so great,but the difference in how I feel
after a bacon, egg and cheesebiscuit and versus your Athletic
Greens.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
mineral powder it's mineral water.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It's a big deal but anyway that's a staple.
I hope that we are always ableto afford, because it's like 60
bucks a month, so it's prettypricey, but I hope we can always
use that product because I loveit.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
It's a great product.
Yeah, another thing I mean formountain biking we do it like,
especially in summertimeelectrolytes.
I wouldn't know, this is notreally a new tropic, but it's
definitely something we use.
I mean it does help you focus,because when you don't drink
electrolytes after a long rideand it's 95 degrees out, I can't
think about, I can't, it'sreally hard, it's like I'm
shutting down.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah.
So what's the brand?
The most recent brand?
Do you remember the name of it?
Because we went through acouple of electrolytes that were
terrible.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Well, element, yeah, except it has Stevia.
Yeah, so take it or leave itwith that, but it's super basic,
it's just like salt, potassiumthe other one I can't think of
and then Stevia.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And then like citric acid for flavors.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Well, maybe she should do a product review on
the one that my wife does.
She does a monthly subscriptionand it's pre-workout and then
she got an electrolyte mix andit's pretty.
It didn't have all the stupidsugar in it.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
What's the brand that I was using, that we had for a
while, that we used to get atCostco.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh, liquid IV, that has a lot of it.
That is not a ton, I think.
It's like what?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
7 grams per stick it's not bad, but it's just not,
I don't know.
It's just too sweet.
Yeah, it's just like threegrams of sugar.
I think would be perfect yeahif you're riding, like I always
like to put it in one of mywater bottles and like that, and
it's just like you just tasteit.
You're just like this isn'tright.
Peak tea, yeah we did a reviewon peak tea crystallized.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, this is that's Peak.
Tea is pretty bougie becausethey it's tea crystals.
Yeah, it's like they make surethey batch test everything.
So they make the tea and thentest it and then do the crystals
.
So then you just put it inwater so you don't have to worry
about like heavy metals.
Yeah pesticides or besides allthat stuff sure.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's a little more expensive, but I think we said
it was like a buck 80 a glass.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Per serving yeah something like that cheaper than
Going out, I guess.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
This is what.
What's the cheapest thing youcan even get like at a Starbucks
right now a Couple coffee islike 240.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'm a really small 180.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, for an Americana tall.
Yeah, that's what I used to get.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Buck 80, I bet coffee was I Bet back in the day.
Get you a cup of coffee for anickel, yeah, anyway.
Oh well, we're off theNeutropics.
But just thinking about someproducts that we've we use to
kind of impact overall healththe the Berkey water filters all
over that.
Yeah, I've been using Berkeywater filters all year, I think
(17:09):
for two years now.
Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Fluoride yeah.
Yeah, fluoride is not.
I mean, you know there's a lotof conspiracies around fluoride.
Think whatever you want, I'mnot drinking it personally.
That's that's me.
I don't want shit in the water.
Yeah, playing it simple.
I Don't want them puttingchemicals in the water that turn
the frogs.
Gay, alex Jones.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But anyway, yeah, and Berkey's a good system.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You know they're good filters and well they last,
like those they're supposed to.
The Brit is like you have tochange it like every two months
if you drink a lot of water.
Yeah, and they're just notexpensive, yeah, berkey water
filters like Last a year or two.
All right, so before we rollout here, bro, I want you to
share your morning, your morningbreakfast, liquid breakfast
(18:06):
that you do.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I absolutely love it.
Yeah, all right.
So I Typically drink tea yeah,you're but my tea or green tea,
and I might throw some othershit in there for fun, maybe
some like mints.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh fun.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Maybe some holy basil .
Oh that's a party, some Tulsi,oh shit, I know.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Tulsi.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Tulsi and holy basil are the same.
Um, I you know things like that.
Maybe I'll even throw in somechamomile.
So I've got that caffeine andthe.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Camamille to keep me chill focused as fuck yeah, and
what about your coffee blendthat?
We always do this when wemountain bike now and we can't.
This is our breakfast.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So coffee for the tea ?
Yeah, and I put some salt inthere.
Yeah, look at us up, not a ton,it's not salt water and we're
not talking table salt Celticwe're talking Celtic salt or Sea
salt, yeah, not the bullshit.
Morton's super refined, yeah,you know, extra iodine added.
So straight to the wall hearts,yeah, heart walls.
(19:08):
And then honey and coconut oil,yeah, boom.
Now for coffee.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I like butter and butter, yeah, everyone thinks
we're weird and you got me onthat, but I absolutely love it
now.
But instead of having breakfast, coffee every day dose, which
is the mushroom blend, yeah,butter Honey a little bit of
salt and honey for the sweetness.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I think it's fucking delicious.
I like butter and coffee.
Yeah, people are like oh my god.
Just try it.
I mean fuck it's.
It's kind of like the inverseof heavy cream.
It's like heavy cream has a lotof fat in it.
Yeah, and, as you know, milkcontent.
Well, butter still has Milkcontent.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, it's not all fat.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Right, because when you make clarified butter you're
like cooking off the liquid, sothen you just have pure fat.
So the actual butter itselfdoes have some milk content.
Still nice, it's not pure 100%fat, so it's it's.
It goes in the coffee, you knowit's like, it's like creamer.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
But I that butter like hard core creamer, yeah.
And when we camp and we'regoing mountain biking, it's
perfect, because when you drinkit about 30 seconds after you
consume it, you take a dump.
You got to take a dump.
Yeah so you got to get thatpre-dump right out.
You got to and then it's, it'sfilling, yeah, like, but you
don't have this heavy Like.
(20:34):
We went road, we wouldn't, weate.
We made some sandwiches.
We usually ride the morning.
We rode after lunch one daythis was a couple weeks ago and
we made a sandwich, ate asandwich, and I was out on the
trail and that sandwich turnedinto a fucking break.
Yeah and I was like I wasmiserable.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I don't like mountain biking if after you eat yeah
you know it's basically on amostly empty stomach, because
when you get the best results,yeah so this is like the perfect
breakfast.
This is my breakfast.
I don't eat breakfast.
Yeah you know, for years I atebreakfast.
But since I know how to cook,you know, I spend all this time
making Amazing you know potatohashes with amazing sauces, and
(21:11):
you don't want to wake up and dothe same thing.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Eggs on top.
It's too much fucking time.
Yeah, it's too much.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It's too much yeah it's too much food and I don't
need that much food.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I mean, if you're, if you're doing a 30 mile hike,
eat breakfast, yeah, you know.
If you are a roofer, yeah, andyou're hauling around bags of
shingles all day, you probablywant breakfast.
Yeah, but for me, unless I'mdoing something crazy, yeah, I'm
not typically eating breakfast.
If I knew I was gonna be hiking, you know, 15 miles a day for
(21:41):
like five days straight, you'regonna be so fucking hungry.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
They're gonna eat every time they're not like from
burning calories.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, you're gonna be doing.
You're either gonna be hikingor eating, yeah.
So it's your bone, it's yourbody.
Do whatever feels right.
Yeah.
But if I'm editing videos, Idon't need biscuits and gravy
sitting on the.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Tummy.
So, anyway, all right.
So, last but not least, thisone everyone, this is like
probably the most marketed brand, especially since Joe Rogan got
behind it.
But Alfa brain, I'm nevertaking it.
I haven't either.
I have put it in my cart andalmost bought it a lot of times,
but it's like a hundred andit's like I Think it's like $60
(22:21):
a month.
It's another one of those.
So it's like $150 when you buya three-pack.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I think the government's just gonna put us
on a Subscription, monthlysubscription, to breathe air at
some point.
Everything is a subscriptionnow, yeah, yeah, like our
toilets.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
They're talking about carbon tax, carbon taxing Based
on different things, so, I'msure, carbon tax based on Our
weight at that point in size, atsome point I think everyone
just kind of stops doing it all.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's good, old-fashioned cool.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Not even a coup.
I'm just saying like good,old-fashioned, sit, sit down,
what's it called, where you justsit and sit in one area, I
Don't know what that's people inthe street.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Is that was?
That's a form of protest.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, oh, I didn't know climate.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
People sitting in the street.
That's not what I'm talkingabout.
I'm just saying we stoplistening to politicians.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, oh yeah, a Shun , there we go.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
a good old-fashioned shun, we shun them, we shun.
X communicate, the Xcommunicate.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And they're like hey, you're supposed to, and you're
like anything good.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Oh my gosh, they've done a great job marketing.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah and um, you know , it's like everything else.
These are supposed to be kindof tools to use.
Yeah, I don't want to be.
I don't want to rely onanything To feel normal.
Except I do drink my tea everymorning.
Yeah, but if I didn't have it,you wouldn't feel normal, I
wouldn't feel.
I don't want to rely on toomany things To feel normal.
One or two things.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
One or two is fine, yeah a base everywhere you go

What are your vices?
Let's roll.
I'm sorry.
I appreciated your work.
(27:16):
All right, you.
Bro, I think I need something to help me stay on
task, cause I keep gettingdistracted during these intros.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Do you need some cognitive enhancements?
I might I just might.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
This is our third time on this intro, that's right
.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, this is episode 96.
We're talking about cognitiveenhancers and new tropics, which
we've talked about new tropicsbefore Yep.
But as we round out to episode100 and get into the end of the
year, I just wanted to coverwhat products we actually
started using and kept using.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, what are your vices, bro?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
That's right Not vices Tools Tools.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Tools in the toolbox.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Enhancers.
So yeah, this episode's aboutcognitive enhancers and new
tropics, but mostly about whatnew tools we got in the toolbox.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I dig it bro.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Let's dig in.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Let's jump in, dive in.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Dig, dive what is up Dodge palm Dive Dip dodge, I
haven't watched that in so long.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I'm Jonathan Noel.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
And I'm Brian Noel.
This is the Focus Cast, wherewe help you reduce distractions,
increase focus so you can livea life with Intentions we want
you to I do.
All right, so very simple.
What are cognitive enhancers?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
OK.
Cognitive enhancers, also knownas smart drugs.
They're substances that aresometimes prescribed by health
care professionals to treatmedical conditions that affect
cognition.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, so I know new tropics is like the cool kid on
the scene, but cognitiveenhancements.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I've been around for a while.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Long time.
So thank Adderall, thankRitalin.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Some of these drugs to help alter our cognitive
state for an increase inperformance.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Basically, they took meth added what a couple extra
carbon atoms.
And then the pharmaceuticalindustry and then gave it to
people and they were like, hey,it's not meth Instead, it's
methylphenidate instead offetamines, so anyway yeah, one
example would be, like modafinol.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Modafinol Modafinol, yeah.
Originally developed to treatnarcolepsy, it's sometimes used
off label to enhance wakefulnessand cognitive performance.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Adderall Ritalin, and I'd never even heard of this
one, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So we weren't really a go to the doctor kind of
family.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Unless, something was broken.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
So we never ended up on any of these things.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Nope.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So what about new tropics?
What's the difference betweenwhat's?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
the so new tropics often refer to as smart drugs,
but the biggest difference innew tropics most of them are
these are natural compounds.
It's a broader term.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
It encompasses the natural and the chemical the
pharmaceutical ones.
It's all of it.
It's all of it, but when you goon Google and you search new
tropics, typically a bunch ofnatural compounds come up.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
That's kind of the big thing right now yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's hot on the scene all this stuff that people have
been doing for years.
You know the usual yeah.
And it's like you take all thisshit humans have been doing for
thousands of years, put a fancylabel on it, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah, I mean, if you looked at marketing today's
mushroom coffee was the early60s cigarette commercials.
Yeah, you know Pretty much Likesome of those ads from the 50s
and 60s are just Like this is sothis makes you cool.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, you've got to do this Like Crisco, crisco, you
remember.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Crisco commercials.
I actually I've been on acouple of tangents, but if you
go Google like 50s ads, it'ssome of the most comedic stuff
that you'll ever see.
Yeah, Like you know, want yourwife to be happy, get her a
better vacuum, and shit likethat.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, different times , simpler time.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, Having problems , you know having sex with your
wife, you know smoke marble, I'mjust some funny shit, you know
Van that was when, like therewas, like like they learned how
to manipulate us and there wereno rules.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah, there weren't any regulations yet.
That's amazing, so should.
Paker quit working.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Smoke a pack of marbles, that's right.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That was the good old times.
That's like did cigarettes evengive you cancer?
If they hadn't done theresearch yet?
Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Maybe not, that's true.
I did see sorry last tangent,but I did see a report that
fries fried in vegetable oilscauses several days, if not a
week, of inflammation.
But a cigarette will causeinflammation in the body for
like an hour or two.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So anyway, yeah.
So what's some examples of likea natural chemical?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
natural compound, one that the majority of human
beings consume on a daily basiscaffeine that's right.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, um, caffeine, I think it's just so normalized
now and everyone's sodesensitized to it.
You don't even think about that.
It is a drug.
It is a drug, okay, and we?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
did an episode on caffeine and how.
It's not that it makes youawake, it blocks your tired
receptors.
Yeah, adenosine yeah which ispretty cool, yeah, and you know
I'm so tired, and then caffeinejust comes and punches.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I know the face Said you know what.
You're tired receptors, nottoday.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Um Elthianine, yeah yeah, I've taken Elthianine.
Makes me have weird ass dreams.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Really yeah, so what are?
The drinks that we got.
Didn't?
The cova drink that we got hada Elthianine in it.
Maybe true cova, I think, orthe second one I bought, I think
, elthianine helps calm.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
It's usually paired with caffeine and like, because
green tea naturally hasElthianine and caffeine, but
together they work prettysynergistically nice, but Bacopa
.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Bacopa.
Yeah herbal neutropic thoughtto improve memory and cognitive
function.
I haven't tried that which ison the list.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, I mean we're just throwing out a couple.
I mean there's, there's tons ofthem.
Yeah, you know, I'd not heardof some of these.
Some of them I know about.
I know about ginko biloba.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Yeah, that one.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I feel like that's been around the block our mom
had that in the herb cabinet.
Yeah, and then paracetam.
I've never even heard of thatbut, apparently it's one of the
older og.
New tropics, yeah, so anyway,take your pick, maybe some help.
Ashwagandha I know some peopletake that.
Yeah, what is it?
Tyrosine, l, tyrosine, mm-hmm?
There's all kinds of shit, yeah, and Everyone, everyone's body
(06:52):
is different.
Yeah so don't let someone inthe internet tell you that you
have to take something.
That this is the only one.
You just have to kind of Thinkabout.
What are you actually planningon using it for?
What's?
What's the goal?
Yeah, and what.
What works for you?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Well, I mean, you know try and a organic compound
is better than like trying.
You know crystal math, crystalmath.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
So yeah, you're gonna do much harm.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Trying different organic compounds to see if it
helps you.
What's the um?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
what's the one students take, like when they're
doing exams?
Oh, it is at a roll, yeah, at aroll.
Yeah, that's crazy.
I've never taken it, but I'veheard like people clean their
whole house.
Oh yeah, take an Adderall andlike they'll clean the house for
three hours straight.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, shit like that.
It's our pain the walls.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah, that's weird.
Yeah, that sounds like math.
Not that I've done that, butthat's what I imagine is, like
you just start going.
Yeah, so anyway, what about?
What about us, bro?
What do you use?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
So you know we've done a couple reviews on these,
and some of these have becomehousehold staples for me.
One of those is everyday dose,and that's mushroom coffee.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, the mushroom coffee it, it's, it's legit.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I mean, I can tell when I don't drink it and I do
drink it.
Yeah, I can tell when I justdrink plain coffee.
I mix, we Were I would.
You would probably call uscoffee snobs, considering we get
our beans roasted from a friend, we use a French press, we
grind it every week.
Yeah and so I use two scoops ofthat and then a scoop of
(08:25):
everyday dose, which is mushroomcoffee with lion's mane and
chocolate.
Wonder your brands on fire, bro, damn son.
And it's like the perfect mixand it's a really good cup of
coffee.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You're not throwing the Folgers and that the moldy
plastic.
30 year old coffee maker.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I it's, I guess I would be a coffee stop now,
because I'm perfectlycomfortable not drinking.
I don't, fortunately, I Used todrink six cups of coffee a day.
I don't.
I drink, like usually, onebefore 7 am Now and that's
pretty much it.
So I don't.
I don't if I miss coffee.
I don't get headaches anymorelike I don't.
I don't have to have caffeine,but if I can't get good coffee,
(09:04):
I just don't drink coffee.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, folgers in the plastic is not coffee.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That's fucking dog shit.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's not, I would even feed that to a dog?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I hate it.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, I think it's like the, the hotel coffee
machine, and I've only I havetraveled.
I traveled for like 10 years.
Yeah, you know, and I neverdrink hotel coffee, except for
like three times where I waslike, so I wasn't such a fucking
hurry, yeah, but I swear youcan just taste the mold inside.
They don't watch that shit.
No you know at the Holiday InnExpress that they're
(09:34):
understaffed in like.
Mississippi.
They're not washing.
They're not washing the coffeepots.
No machines, no, they're nasty,nasty.
It just tastes like burnt, likeboiled peanut water.
Yeah, oh, so gross.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I can't even drink coffee, even if it's good coffee
in a brand or a very cleanrather the dishwasher drip.
I can't even drink coffee outof a drip because for some
reason, like the, it makes itmore oily or something, and it's
just.
I can't, unless it's.
French press aropress or drip,I I'm with you, I just, I just
(10:08):
I'm just like why just not gonnadrink it then?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, I mean, if you're going to drink coffee
every day, yeah, might as wellbe the best version of a cup of
coffee.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I mean, if you could, if I can start my day with the
best version of coffee that I'veever had in my life, that's a
good life, that's a great life.
Yeah, yeah I mean that's whereit started today.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Not that I'm ripping on people who are in different
situations, but you know, somepeople have to drink the Folgers
.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
That's just what they have access to.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
So and that's fine.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, all right, that's everyday dose.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That was only one bullet.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Next is Better Brand.
So Better Brand is somethingthat Instagram got me on this,
and it's the Instagram ad wherethey showed this mucus and it
was for better lungs and thatyou know.
It was like, oh, this is sogross.
That was the ad.
It's like, if you take thisstuff, it'll clear out your
lungs.
Well, it didn't do that for me.
(11:10):
I didn't cough up mucus, butevery year around Christmas,
every time I got a cold, a coughwould hang for like a month or
two and then I could feel it.
After seven to nine days thecongestion start to break up and
I'm just like.
That feels like I'm going todive pneumonia when I'm 60 if my
lungs can't handle a cold.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Now yeah, if they take that long to.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, to de-congest the mucus.
So I was like, all right, cool,I'll try this.
Well, I think I've taken itconsistently now for a year and
a half.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
I don't know maybe a year.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But I've got COVID a couple of times and a couple of
colds and my lungs like two daysafter the sick sickness broke
up, coughed it up, Very nice,and I didn't have that two week
cough like immediate change andit's just an herbal supplement.
And then they have the samebrand, has what's called Better
(12:06):
Mushrooms.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You didn't know it's in it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
No, I probably should have brought a bottle, but it's
a better brand.
Better brand is the company,better Lungs is the product, so
it worked for me.
I don't know what's in it.
Better Lungs Instagram got me.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I was like I didn't look at what was in there, I
just take it I saw the ad and Iwas like, sure, I'll try that.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
And I did.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It worked so anyway, yeah, athletic Greens.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, that's the other one.
We did a review on AthleticGreens and it's another product
that I absolutely love.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, it's like if you're trying to crush out a lot
of work, it's nice for aroundlike 2 o'clock.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
When you're really starting to get worn out.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, and if you just don't like it's if you don't
want to take 80 vitamins.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
That too.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It has a lot of compounds in it from all and
it's Huberman Labs had it as oneof their main products for a
long time, so it's obviouslywell known, very trusted, and I
can.
Now we've taken that for a yearand I mix, so our kids have
always taken gosh.
I can't remember the name of it, but anyway, it's an herbal
(13:18):
supplement.
But so I mix my Athletic Greensand this other powder herbal
supplement and then we have somemineral compound and I mix all
that up with some ice and I puta little cherry juice, organic
cherry juice or organicpineapple juice.
Oh wow, shake that shit up, boom, and it's so refreshing.
(13:40):
That's typically what I'll dofor breakfast, like, and you
know.
I'll drink my coffee early andthen you have that for breakfast
, and then I'll have that beforeI head out Nice and if some
mornings when I'm just like youknow what I want a bacon, egg
and cheese biscuit and I havethose mornings.
And I eat a bacon, egg andcheese biscuit.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I think everyone has that kind of morning at some
point.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
And.
I love it it tastes so great,but the difference in how I feel
after a bacon, egg and cheesebiscuit and versus your Athletic
Greens.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
mineral powder it's mineral water.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It's a big deal but anyway that's a staple.
I hope that we are always ableto afford, because it's like 60
bucks a month, so it's prettypricey, but I hope we can always
use that product because I loveit.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
It's a great product.
Yeah, another thing I mean formountain biking we do it like,
especially in summertimeelectrolytes.
I wouldn't know, this is notreally a new tropic, but it's
definitely something we use.
I mean it does help you focus,because when you don't drink
electrolytes after a long rideand it's 95 degrees out, I can't
think about, I can't, it'sreally hard, it's like I'm
shutting down.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah.
So what's the brand?
The most recent brand?
Do you remember the name of it?
Because we went through acouple of electrolytes that were
terrible.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Well, element, yeah, except it has Stevia.
Yeah, so take it or leave itwith that, but it's super basic,
it's just like salt, potassiumthe other one I can't think of
and then Stevia.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
And then like citric acid for flavors.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Well, maybe she should do a product review on
the one that my wife does.
She does a monthly subscriptionand it's pre-workout and then
she got an electrolyte mix andit's pretty.
It didn't have all the stupidsugar in it.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
What's the brand that I was using, that we had for a
while, that we used to get atCostco.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh, liquid IV, that has a lot of it.
That is not a ton, I think.
It's like what?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
7 grams per stick it's not bad, but it's just not,
I don't know.
It's just too sweet.
Yeah, it's just like threegrams of sugar.
I think would be perfect yeahif you're riding, like I always
like to put it in one of mywater bottles and like that, and
it's just like you just tasteit.
You're just like this isn'tright.
Peak tea, yeah we did a reviewon peak tea crystallized.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Yeah, this is that's Peak.
Tea is pretty bougie becausethey it's tea crystals.
Yeah, it's like they make surethey batch test everything.
So they make the tea and thentest it and then do the crystals
.
So then you just put it inwater so you don't have to worry
about like heavy metals.
Yeah pesticides or besides allthat stuff sure.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's a little more expensive, but I think we said
it was like a buck 80 a glass.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Per serving yeah something like that cheaper than
Going out, I guess.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
This is what.
What's the cheapest thing youcan even get like at a Starbucks
right now a Couple coffee islike 240.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I'm a really small 180.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, for an Americana tall.
Yeah, that's what I used to get.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Buck 80, I bet coffee was I Bet back in the day.
Get you a cup of coffee for anickel, yeah, anyway.
Oh well, we're off theNeutropics.
But just thinking about someproducts that we've we use to
kind of impact overall healththe the Berkey water filters all
over that.
Yeah, I've been using Berkeywater filters all year, I think
(17:09):
for two years now.
Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Fluoride yeah.
Yeah, fluoride is not.
I mean, you know there's a lotof conspiracies around fluoride.
Think whatever you want, I'mnot drinking it personally.
That's that's me.
I don't want shit in the water.
Yeah, playing it simple.
I Don't want them puttingchemicals in the water that turn
the frogs.
Gay, alex Jones.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
But anyway, yeah, and Berkey's a good system.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You know they're good filters and well they last,
like those they're supposed to.
The Brit is like you have tochange it like every two months
if you drink a lot of water.
Yeah, and they're just notexpensive, yeah, berkey water
filters like Last a year or two.
All right, so before we rollout here, bro, I want you to
share your morning, your morningbreakfast, liquid breakfast
(18:06):
that you do.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I absolutely love it.
Yeah, all right.
So I Typically drink tea yeah,you're but my tea or green tea,
and I might throw some othershit in there for fun, maybe
some like mints.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Oh fun.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Maybe some holy basil .
Oh that's a party, some Tulsi,oh shit, I know.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Tulsi.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Tulsi and holy basil are the same.
Um, I you know things like that.
Maybe I'll even throw in somechamomile.
So I've got that caffeine andthe.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Camamille to keep me chill focused as fuck yeah, and
what about your coffee blendthat?
We always do this when wemountain bike now and we can't.
This is our breakfast.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
So coffee for the tea ?
Yeah, and I put some salt inthere.
Yeah, look at us up, not a ton,it's not salt water and we're
not talking table salt Celticwe're talking Celtic salt or Sea
salt, yeah, not the bullshit.
Morton's super refined, yeah,you know, extra iodine added.
So straight to the wall hearts,yeah, heart walls.
(19:08):
And then honey and coconut oil,yeah, boom.
Now for coffee.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I like butter and butter, yeah, everyone thinks
we're weird and you got me onthat, but I absolutely love it
now.
But instead of having breakfast, coffee every day dose, which
is the mushroom blend, yeah,butter Honey a little bit of
salt and honey for the sweetness.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I think it's fucking delicious.
I like butter and coffee.
Yeah, people are like oh my god.
Just try it.
I mean fuck it's.
It's kind of like the inverseof heavy cream.
It's like heavy cream has a lotof fat in it.
Yeah, and, as you know, milkcontent.
Well, butter still has Milkcontent.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, it's not all fat.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Right, because when you make clarified butter you're
like cooking off the liquid, sothen you just have pure fat.
So the actual butter itselfdoes have some milk content.
Still nice, it's not pure 100%fat, so it's it's.
It goes in the coffee, you knowit's like, it's like creamer.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
But I that butter like hard core creamer, yeah.
And when we camp and we'regoing mountain biking, it's
perfect, because when you drinkit about 30 seconds after you
consume it, you take a dump.
You got to take a dump.
Yeah so you got to get thatpre-dump right out.
You got to and then it's, it'sfilling, yeah, like, but you
don't have this heavy Like.
(20:34):
We went road, we wouldn't, weate.
We made some sandwiches.
We usually ride the morning.
We rode after lunch one daythis was a couple weeks ago and
we made a sandwich, ate asandwich, and I was out on the
trail and that sandwich turnedinto a fucking break.
Yeah and I was like I wasmiserable.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I don't like mountain biking if after you eat yeah
you know it's basically on amostly empty stomach, because
when you get the best results,yeah so this is like the perfect
breakfast.
This is my breakfast.
I don't eat breakfast.
Yeah you know, for years I atebreakfast.
But since I know how to cook,you know, I spend all this time
making Amazing you know potatohashes with amazing sauces, and
(21:11):
you don't want to wake up and dothe same thing.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Eggs on top.
It's too much fucking time.
Yeah, it's too much.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It's too much yeah it's too much food and I don't
need that much food.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I mean, if you're, if you're doing a 30 mile hike,
eat breakfast, yeah, you know.
If you are a roofer, yeah, andyou're hauling around bags of
shingles all day, you probablywant breakfast.
Yeah, but for me, unless I'mdoing something crazy, yeah, I'm
not typically eating breakfast.
If I knew I was gonna be hiking, you know, 15 miles a day for
(21:41):
like five days straight, you'regonna be so fucking hungry.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
They're gonna eat every time they're not like from
burning calories.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah, you're gonna be doing.
You're either gonna be hikingor eating, yeah.
So it's your bone, it's yourbody.
Do whatever feels right.
Yeah.
But if I'm editing videos, Idon't need biscuits and gravy
sitting on the.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Tummy.
So, anyway, all right.
So, last but not least, thisone everyone, this is like
probably the most marketed brand, especially since Joe Rogan got
behind it.
But Alfa brain, I'm nevertaking it.
I haven't either.
I have put it in my cart andalmost bought it a lot of times,
but it's like a hundred andit's like I Think it's like $60
(22:21):
a month.
It's another one of those.
So it's like $150 when you buya three-pack.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I think the government's just gonna put us
on a Subscription, monthlysubscription, to breathe air at
some point.
Everything is a subscriptionnow, yeah, yeah, like our
toilets.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
They're talking about carbon tax, carbon taxing Based
on different things, so, I'msure, carbon tax based on Our
weight at that point in size, atsome point I think everyone
just kind of stops doing it all.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's good, old-fashioned cool.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Not even a coup.
I'm just saying like good,old-fashioned, sit, sit down,
what's it called, where you justsit and sit in one area, I
Don't know what that's people inthe street.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Is that was?
That's a form of protest.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, oh, I didn't know climate.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
People sitting in the street.
That's not what I'm talkingabout.
I'm just saying we stoplistening to politicians.
