Livit Folks was built on a simple idea, put the
most proven performance ingredients in one system at the right doses,

(00:23):
so you don't need a shell full of supplements to
train at a high level this holiday season, or maybe
to work off those holiday pounds. That's a good point.

Off the turkey sandwiches number one, the sandwiches you gotta
or work off that pumpkin pie. You gotta work off
that mincemeat pie coming up Christmas time. Yeah, a lot
to work off the New Year champagne as well. Absolutely.

(00:44):
Instead of piecing together pre workouts creating electrolytes and amino
acids from different brands, TLF proved Livit Yes brings together
the ingredients with the strongest research behind them for building
muscle and proving endurance, supporting hydration and maintaining energy. Motherfucker
activate from livit sets the tone before training with clinically
supported ingredients for focus, blood flow, endurance, and sustained energy.

not talking about progressive. We know that we know about flow,
We know about flow, and we know about endurance and
going for the long haul. Recover from livit delivers what

and carbohydrates so you can rebuild muscles, stay hydrated, and

trying to force feed me chocolate. Aw some books. Oh
my god, JB, I'll book more money now, come on.
Well he gives you financial a vibe. But I love
to look at the Look at the cover though, Look
at the cover because that's not that's not JBL when
he became JBL, that's Apa, That's that's Bradshaw. This was

(06:12):
the precursor to the character in a lot of ways.
It was the draw material where they realized this, you
know this Texas brute. What a vested like, what a
what a fucking moron? He looks like an absolute piece
of shit. Looks to me like it's just a book
about Oh summary. The greatest invention of modern man is

(06:33):
compound and interest. Okay, well, he's never compounded interest in
his life as far as wrestling cancer. That's the one thing.
He's never compounded an interest in anything. Dollar cost averaging,
investing the same amount each week or month is the
best way to invest. Fuck off, dude, shut The time
in the market is much more important than timing the market.

(06:54):
This is this sounds like it was written by an
idiot who fucking was told this is how you're supposed
to sound intelligence. You must alter your lifestyle to expect
long term results. Quick fixes don't work. Thanks mom, What
does work? Is that telling me what doesn't work? Pay off?
That's the thing in these kinds of books. They always

(07:14):
tell you what doesn't work. They never actually say what
does work. Yeah, they just define everything by its opposite.
Pay off your highest interest debt first. If you are overweight,
don't be seen eat and candy by Bruce Pritchard. He
will insult your ancestry. Okay, Bruce Pritchard calling other people overweight, right,
don't look for Teddy to pay at a toll booth.

(07:35):
Very funny. What a piece of shit? Buy and hold
give your So you're holding this book in your hand,
wondering just what does this ww superstar know about the
world of finance? Have you ever been down to your
last twenty seven dollars out of a job? You want
to know a secret? Didn't wonder that did or didn't care. No,
I actually never thought to myself, this is a guy
I want to trust at all, and wondering what you

(07:59):
were going to do. If anyone needed to learn about finance,
it was that person, and he was me. I've had
to learn through my own mistakes, and now you can
learn from me. I'll break it all down for you
and easy to understand language. Give yourself a pay cut,
set your goals before you start living within your means.
You can't crash diet or crash budget. Good debt versus
bad debt? How much can you spare? Keep it simple?

(08:21):
Buy and hold doesn't mean by and ignore. How about
grab a hole, bring the side wrestling the champions when
we hold books from Wow? Look at that from Modern
Publishing action shot of him posting the knee of El's
in Japan. Wow. Oh yeah, that's when you usually Antonio.

same fucking thing. There's another one from the same series
called The Superstars. I've never seen these before. Huge text,
huge blocks of text, but it goes all around the
It's for written for children and idiots, all the circuits.

(09:27):
Here's another one wrestling heroes and villains from the same
modern publishing series, Kamala and Ivan Putski and Sergeants Slaughter inside. Wow,
this one is Ringstad wrestling great grudge matches over the years,
including Kamala versus Sergeant Slaughter, apparently the grudge match of
all time. On the tag team scene, there are a

(09:48):
few grudges that rival those on the solo circuit. One
well known grudge is the all out war I mean
waged between the van Ericks Kerry, Kevin and Mike and
the fabulous free Birds Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy and Buddy
Robberts and their murderous dad Dead. That's right, murderous. Oh.
I remember this all about SuperStar's fact book. Do you

number one star, smelling the fifteen thousand for the slam.
Hogan went to grab stud but Big John slipped between

(11:16):

they bought. That's so beautiful. A copy of Insight Gaming
magazine with the rock holding a and sixty four control.
That's the only thing he's ever going to hold up
like that. Oh my god, I forgot about that. It's
