Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Today we're eating the craziest cheat

meal of Jesse's life. But first, we got

to get a pump on.

>> Side chest. Give him a side chest.

>> That's not That's not side chest. This

is side chest.

>> You almost got it. Jesse James West is a

fitness creator on YouTube who has

filmed a wide variety of videos from

exploring celebrity home gyms to

training with elite athletes and even

discussing major topics in the health

and fitness field. You can check him out

on his YouTube channel, Jesse James

West. Welcome back to Cheat Meals. We

all got to eat and sometimes we all got

to cheat. We are here with the legend

Jesse James West himself about to eat

his cheat meal. But first, you got to

work out, man. What are we doing today?

>> Today, we're going to be doing my travel

style workout. Obviously, I'm on the

road all the time. I just took a flight

to be here and I'm proud to be here.

We're going to be doing back, shoulders,

and biceps.

>> So, this is like when people keep a

bottle of Cholula in their bag at all

times, like just in case they need to

like get their fix. This is your bag of

your little Cholula in the bag. For me,

it's like it's more of like a sugar-free

maple syrup or sometimes real maple

maple syrup. I like to use that in my

bag and bring it wherever I go. Put it

on a salad. Put it on anything.

>> You putting sugar-free maple syrup on a

salad. This is the relentless mindset.

>> I don't want to talk when I put it on.

>> What? So, we got lat pull downs right

now. This to me is an interesting

choice. If you're only picking like

three exercises for a travel day to get

a pump on, why are you going lat pull

down? So, the lat pull down, it's

similar to the pull-up, but you can at

least adjust the weight to be pretty

efficient on whether you're going to do

drop sets or if you're just going to be

going heavy. Like, you can kind of pick

and choose right on the spot without

wasting any other time. And for me, I'm

going to make these sets as intense as

possible by doing probably some drop

sets. Like, I feel it out. I don't

really just

>> I don't have that much of a plan. It's

kind of like my life. Just I just kind

of go with the flow.

>> You listen to your body. It's like jazz,

baby.

>> Yeah. We're just playing as we feel. and

flash, you know, like

>> you know, I look like Miles Teller.

>> You kind of do. I'll be your JK Simmons.

I'll shave my head and start screaming

at you.

>> Yo, can you

>> I want that on these sets. I got you. I

got you.

>> All right. So, we're going to do three

sets.

>> Three sets.

>> Uh pretty much just go to failure on

every single set.

>> All right.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> Let's go. I'm just going to go right

into it. Like first set. Okay.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Jump in hard.

>> I'll JK Simmons you.

>> Yeah. Please. It's not my tempo. Do you

even want to be here? Are you rushing or

are you dragging?

>> I'm dragging.

>> Are you So you do know the difference.

>> No,

I got

that was so good. All I can remember.

>> Just remember it's always about the

motion of the ocean.

>> I'm less motion of the ocean and more

like it's about your emotional

attentiveness and afterare,

>> dude. You know, like there's going to be

a great breakfast. Don't lose that

tension at the bottom. Drive all the way

through. Come on out. Yeah, buddy.

And I'm a peanut.

>> Dude, you're bringing out like the demon

inside of me.

>> The inner. It's because you see your own

mortality in me. Like 25.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. 8 years.

It's all downhill. Come on now.

>> Testosterone rates drop after 30

statistically.

>> You're going to need TRT. Some

>> got to fight against it.

>> Someone call a medic. We need some TRT.

Go. Pull. Pull.

>> Two more. Two more. Come on. Come on.

Go.

>> That's right. I don't need no TRT. I

need CTC. That's Cinnamon Dust Crunch,

baby.

>> Yes.

>> Oh my gosh. I couldn't even open my

hands enough to dap them up properly.

You gave me a claw, bro.

>> Last set. We're going sideways hat. Just

think about the delicious pancakes at

the end of this.

>> Yes, pancakes are coming for

>> There it is. Drive, drive, drive, drive,

drive.

>> Drop that. I'm at 187. I'm feeling what?

143. I feel like that's good.

>> Sometimes I have trouble finding it.

>> You got to use your finger to to find

it. Yeah, which there's no shame in

that.

>> Come on. Come on. You're him. You are

him.

>> Someone call him Shalomé.

>> Where's he at?

>> He's so talented.

>> He deserves so many more awards.

>> One more pull.

>> Good.

>> Perfect.

>> Okay.

>> All right. That's exercise one of three.

>> Let's hit the showers. I'll uh I'll meet

you in there, bro. Let's go.

[Music]

>> Next exercise is going to be a rear delt

cable fly. So, we're going to hit it

from the behind over here. Grab your

cable. It's a little It's a little

weird. So, like pay attention.

>> I am left arm, right cable, right arm,

left cable. Okay, you're cross

chest up. Squeeze the rear delts. Can

you touch the rear delts to make sure

the audience knows what the heck that

is?

>> So rear delt right here. Some are

calling this the muscle of the summer

2025. Now the delt has three different

heads. You have rear side and then you

have anterior frontal right here. A lot

of people neglect the rear delt. So what

Jesse's going to do right now try and

pinch those shoulder blades together

then stay tight. Now I like what he's

doing. He's getting a long stretch on

that so he can really pull it back and

retract the scap. That's real.

>> I was like I was making

>> that was like that was like are you Dr.

Mike or Greg Ducet or something? I just

watched all of your content and all of

them are there and exactly. No, that was

that was perfect. What is the Titanic

people's names?

>> Jack and Rose, come on. Come on, Rose.

>> Rose, you got this.

>> This is exactly what happens in the

movie, dude. They were doing cable

flies.

>> Is that what you thought was happening

in the car when it steamed up?

>> Yeah. Do you think that Jack and Rose

could have both fit on that thing? I

think ultimately the story was a parable

about sacrifice and love. And I think if

they both had lived, we wouldn't have

gotten to tell that story. And then

James Cameron wouldn't have made Avatar.

>> What do you think?

>> There we go. Turn. Turn to the camera.

>> Go. Go. Bring it here.

>> There we go. Yeah.

>> You're here.

>> Yeah. Let's go side chest. Do

>> you want to like Okay. Side chest.

>> Oh, were you trying to trust chest?

>> Well,

this is how they in Avatar how they

actually mate. They call it making

sahaloo. What's up, y'all? Now we're

moving on to the only exercise that

actually matters. The bicep curl.

>> Great take. We don't have to do a

second. Here you go. Here's your mic.

Thank you.

>> Awesome.

>> Call me the one take one. That's

>> That was sick.

>> That's pretty good. You did a great job.

Great core stability.

>> Hell yeah. That That was part of the

exercise. Okay, so with this one,

>> that was so sick.

>> Okay, that was really cool. So, this is

the wavy bar. I call it the wavy bar. Uh

it's a little more like Jesse James Zest

than Jesse James West. So, just have

that little like wiggle shimmy to you.

>> So, we're going to do eight to 10 reps

underhand. And then when you're

finished, you're going to flip over, hit

it from the other side, and do overhand

curls. I've got a 70 and you got a baby

50.

>> This already feels heavy to me.

>> All right. Ready? Let's do it. Ready?

Go.

>> One. Slow.

Two. Good.

Three.

Four.

10.

>> Now we flip it.

>> Flip it. Count. You

>> keeping the same uh the same width on

the bar?

>> Yeah. Just just just straight shoulder

width. Ready? One, two, three.

One. I've never done this before.

>> You're going to feel it on your forearms

so much.

Three. You're not going to be able to do

full 10.

>> Four.

Five. One more.

>> And then you just give them a little

Dude, you see the peaks?

>> Oh my god. The peaks and the valleys,

man. Just let you know.

>> It's like a topographical map.

>> The bathroom is that way.

>> Really?

>> No, it's actually it's actually it's

actually over there.

>> Take a

>> What? What? We're I thought we were just

flexing and talking about bathroom

instead of Okay, so we're going to do

two more sets.

>> All right, got it.

>> Let's hit this and finish strong. Okay,

>> let's do it, baby.

>> Let's finish together.

>> I feel good.

>> You ready to finish together at the same

time?

>> Always the goal,

>> you know. It's always the goal cuz it's

it's really about it's about that

connection. You're in the gym to be

connected with each other.

>> It's special. It's special when you do.

Would you promise to look at me, though?

>> I Yeah,

>> I I do. I I think again I'm here for the

emotional intimacy. It's never about the

lifting. People think it's about the

lifting.

>> Let's face each other. It's not. This is

about connecting with other humans in a

place where you feel

>> if you look away once we restart.

[Music]

>> This is nice. I'm like forgetting that

we're doing biceps. See, I'm lost in

your eyes. What color are they?

>> I put hazel on my driver's license.

Okay.

>> You have nice like light brown eyes.

>> Thank you. That's interesting. A little

green in there. Little green. Do you

have any like Iberian in you?

>> Iberian. This isn't a a would you like

to thing? I'm just literally asking if

family's from the port like Portugal or

Spain.

>> I'm really close.

Portugal and Spain.

>> You're really close to what I am

country. I'm I'm definitely European.

Flip over. We're very close. Jesus. Come

on. All right. Five together.

>> Okay. I'm actually Puerto Rican.

>> Are you Puerto Rican?

>> Yeah.

>> Just a little. Very European.

>> Ready. Last one.

Jess.

That's called brotherhood.

There we go.

This is the last exercise of the day.

We're going to be doing a push-up

challenge. It's going to fuel my body

for the pancakes that are ahead. Um

action.

>> You got to say Mark.

>> Mark. Who's Mark?

>> I'm Josh.

>> You're Josh. Why would I say Mark?

>> You got to say Mark. That's how they

know it's action.

>> Josh. There it is. Got it. I've got a

push-up challenge for you and I. We're

going to be doing as many push-ups as

possible at the same tempo at the same

time. We're good at that together. And

we're going to go until one of us

I wish I could say both of us are

finishing, but only one of us is going

to finish. The other one's just going to

fail.

>> Sometimes it is just a war of attrition.

And it is trying to win. Who's Who's

giving us the count?

>> I will.

>> You're doing the count. All right.

>> When it gets hard, I I might struggle.

All right.

>> Up,

down, up, down, up, down, up, down. Hold

it.

>> I did not say up. Oh, I did not say up.

Up,

down,

up, down, up, down, up, down, up. You

tired? Down. Not at all. That's an extra

rep for no reason. Up, down, up, down,

up, down,

up, down, up, down, up,

down, up, down, up, down, up, down. Up,

down. I'm down. I'm down. Up. I'm down.

I'm starfish. I'm starfish. Up.

Down. Wait. Wait. Wait. Ready. Down. Up.

Down. Do your sport. Starfish.

>> What?

>> Down. Up.

>> I'm still doing it.

>> Yeah, man. You need some pancakes?

>> I think it's time to get some food.

>> Jesse, you ready to eat?

>> I am starving.

>> Bring out that cheat meal.

>> Give me it. Oh,

no way. Yo, it kind of looks like what a

hyperactive 8-year-old would want to

eat. And I mean that in the best way.

That is me. We got the mint Oreo

milkshake with some fresh whipped cream

on top. We got the M&M pancakes with

plenty of syrup. We got a big old basket

of fries with some buffalo sauce on the

side. We got the fried Oreos. And then

of course, a bunch of greasy hash browns

with ketchup.

>> The milkshake.

>> Hey, cheers, man. Milkshake.

>> Oh my gosh. Drink up.

Oh,

sugar heaven.

>> Have you ever engaged in the process of

dirty bulking?

>> That's where all this food stems from.

>> Wait, really?

>> When I was 18, like the 16 to 18 realm,

I most certainly dirty bulked. Every

night, I would have this this giant

shake,

>> dude. Cons with that had like it was the

extra calorie, extra sugar almond milk

or or like chocolate almond milk. Then I

would do half a cup of oats, two chunks

of peanut butter, a mass gainer scoop,

and oh, chocolate sauce. I would put

chocolate sauce. I just wasn't aware of

like sugar and diabetes that you could

potentially do yourself.

>> It was gain. It was just gains back

then.

>> Dude, it was I'm not going to lie, but

like it paid off. Look at that now. Just

me and him.

>> It went sugar to muscle somehow. Oh, are

you kidding?

>> When you're younger, you can do that.

The sugar just converts to muscle. Your

body knows how to do it.

>> Where do you want to start here? Pink. I

feel like pancakes are the next move.

Let me give you like some backstory

here. My mom used to cook pancakes

before high school a few days a week.

>> Mhm.

>> She's one of the best people in the

world. And she would make me or my

sister M&M pancakes. Like most moms

would never do this. They'd be like,

"That's too much sugar."

>> That's such a good mom dish, though.

>> For real. It's become a staple in in the

West household to have M&M pancakes. I

just did a trip to Colorado with my

sister for we're doing Airbnb gyms.

That's a video I'm working on.

>> Oh, cool. And we're just going to we're

staying in really fit houses. Of course,

we're being fit. But in the morning, M&M

pancakes.

>> So many people have never had it either,

though. Have you ever had M&M pancakes?

>> Dude, I don't think I have.

>> You got to try it. It is gas.

>> You got to split the whipped cream. I

can't get the pancake off the top.

>> Okay. Okay. And then another thing is

there's this restaurant in New Jersey

where I'm from. I'm from Jersey, North

Jersey. It's called Jefferson Diner and

they have insane

pancakes that have M&M's in them. How

often do you allow yourself to do stuff

like this these days and actually just

like rub out?

>> I feel like once a week I'll have maybe

not all of this. That would be a little

crazy. Is it good?

>> Mhm.

>> It's amazing. I know.

>> But I I definitely do have cheat meals

every so often. I try to not live too

restrictive unless I'm really cutting

for like a bodybuilding show, but that's

just really rare. So, I make sure I get

my protein in early in the morning. I

make sure I get my protein in at lunch.

And then I'm like, you know what? I got

a little extra carbs for for the night

time. a few Oreos, have a have a little

little cereal bowl or make some pancakes

and enjoy them. I don't think you should

restrict too much in life, dude. Food is

one of the greatest pleasures. Why cut

it out completely? I found a balance and

I feel like there's definitely ways to

do it,

>> dude. 100%. And I think so many people,

especially in fitness, right? Right.

Hold your thought. I need I need another

bite, bro.

>> We got all these pancakes to eat, too.

>> Oh my god. So many people in the fitness

world, they get into this like grind set

mentality. Everything is supposed to be

the most intense thing in the world. You

have to dry scoop your pre-workout

because pain is ultimately good.

>> Like actually though,

>> I think some people fall into that with

diet, too. I was at the gym and I heard

two guys talking. One just goes,

>> "Yeah, I'm down to half a cheat meal a

week." I was like, "The hell does that

mean?"

>> A PR for some reason.

>> Yeah. Like everything is a PR, though.

>> I think I think fitness fitness is

amazing. Obviously, it gives me a

beautiful life. I love my life. If I

love healthy pancakes in my mouth,

>> dude. For real. Let's go.

>> No, you're saying something real.

>> I was trying to get deep there, but

we'll get back to

>> um I've had my struggles with food.

Like,

>> I wouldn't say that I have an eating

disorder, but I definitely have

disorderly eating habits.

>> And I've gotten way better over the

years. Like my my wife Claudia has truly

helped me. She's like, "When I first met

her, I would eat this and then I would

feel so guilty and I sometimes it's

tough to admit this. I would literally

go for a run,

>> which is so psychotic and so bad."

>> Same thing. Yeah. You're punishing

yourself for the

>> You're like, "Oh, I I just had 1,000

calories. I got to go run and burn what

100." Like, it's not going to do

anything.

>> Yeah. But it's not doing anything

physically, and you know that when you

understand the science of it, but it's

>> it's doing something for you mentally

because you're feeling that pain on the

outside that you feel on the inside. I

always say it's memories over macros,

which is like,

>> do you have a t-shirt that says that?

>> No, I should. Can you get some merch?

>> I'm getting it.

>> So, it's memories over macros. If you're

out at a carnival and there's fried

Oreos with your girlfriend or wife or

whoever, like, are you really going to

skip out on having a good time making a

core memory, or are you going to dive in

and at least have one or two? I think

the the the best way to look at it is

like 8020.

>> Yeah. So, like 80% of the time or even

7030 if you really want to push it. 70

70% of the time you're being solid.

you're being good, whatever you want to

call it. The other time you're you're

indulging and you don't have the

self-control to be, you know, maybe a

single person shouldn't eat all this

with your

>> Well, let's not get crazy. I think

>> let's not get crazy. Give me Cheers. As

I

>> don't forget it. Don't Yeah. Just let me

get this down real quick.

>> Oh man. But moving on up. What is this?

So, this is buffalo sauce.

>> Is this like

>> I know you're diggity down to the

buffalo sauce.

>> I love buffalo sauce.

>> Big fan of fries and buffalo sauce. We

also got a big ass thing of ketchup over

here for

>> No. So most of your meal is um some sort

of pancake based sweet treat and or

fried potatoes.

>> Yes.

>> Which I do respect.

>> So this is another thing from that that

diner in New Jersey.

>> Mhm.

>> They have killer hash browns. And I was

curious if you guys want to do the

shredded version, which is proper.

>> Mhm.

>> And that's the best way to do it. So I'm

going to give it a little try.

>> We tried to go like half diner, half

McDonald's.

>> I'm going to get a little Let's get a

little ketchup going.

>> Too much syrup on my plate.

>> Dude, if you miss if you mix the syrup

and the ketchup, it's actually fire.

>> That's nice. I think that's just like a

different form of ketchup at that point.

You know, get that ketchup.

>> Sweet. Delicious.

>> Oh, hell yeah.

>> That's also what you are.

>> Thanks, man.

>> Oh. Oh, he's peeking. I need an

ambulance.

>> So many people who end up take Sorry.

Sorry. I had this intrusive thought.

>> What were you saying?

>> So many people who take fitness too far.

To me, it's completely antithetical to

the reason that you should do this

because for me, and I know you have like

a history of like working out, getting

into fitness to kind of cure depression

in a way. It's like you're adding that

stress when there should be something

that alleviates it.

>> What was what ultimately got you into

the gym? Was it that mental aspect of

it?

>> There's there's what got me to the gym

and then what made me love the gym.

>> What got me into the gym was lacrosse.

>> Yeah. I was 150 pounds freshman year of

high school, which is not like that

light, but

>> I had the skill to play varsity, which

is like the top level

>> uh in the high school. Up to a certain

degree, I I could not push back against

these seniors physically.

>> And my coach told me like, "Hey, we've

got these other freshman. They're a

little bigger than you. You know, you're

you're fighting for a spot because of

your size." And I was like, "Oh." But

that day, my coach told me that I

literally went to the gym and I was

like, "Okay, well, if I need to be big

and strong, I need big legs." So, I hit

legs first.

>> I squatted first. Like out of all

things, I had a weird thing where I just

never skipped leg day my entirety of the

curve. Ahead of the curve. I was like I

was like reverse reverse bro.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> Orb.

>> Orb. I was orb. I was real orb.

>> Bro backwards.

>> No. I got it. I got it.

>> Oh, you got it. I just want to make

sure.

>> You can say it again though.

>> So instead of bro, it's orb.

>> Oh, it's like

>> orb bro backwards. Okay. But so I hit

legs. I I'm like I got to get big. I

start eating. I start having that shake

that I mentioned earlier.

>> And then after like a year of doing

that, I never skipped any days. I I went

to the gym every day. I I ate every

piece of protein I possibly could, all

the calories I could. And once I started

seeing the progress, I was like, "Holy

crap, this is awesome."

>> Yeah.

>> Like it becomes addicting in a way in

like a very positive way where you once

you see results,

>> it's so hard to actually like give up on

that. You're like, "Dude, I want to keep

making making gains."

>> It's the same way as anyone playing

violin, I think. Right. It's just like

it's that self-esteem building from a

young age in a really vulnerable time.

>> Exactly. And and being so young like I

was it helped me build my confidence as

well. Like oh I got muscle like you

can't tell me nothing, you know, like

walking my head up a little bit. So I

built a lot of muscle over the next few

years. I pretty much put on like 10 lbs

every year from 15 to 18. So I got up to

like 180. And the gym just became a

place where even if I had a bad game,

even if I got broken up with or, you

know, a friend's pissed at me or I

failed a test or whatever the hell might

be going on in my in my actual life, I

could just put myself in this in this

space where there's iron being thrown

around and just kind of escape, which is

good in the moment. You still have to

face those things when you leave, which

I've learned as I get got older. But

during that time, you really just, you

know, you develop just kind of learning

what you love and and escaping from that

anxiety and depression. I dealt with a

lot of anxiety growing up. I didn't

really know that I was until I got older

and learned like what the hell I was

feeling. I'm the type of person like I'm

very energetic, but also like on the

verge of having anxiety all the time

where when I lift it kind of it kind of

like kicks the edge off. So, if I don't

work out, like I almost I feel like

there's like zooies in me that are like

I need like a dog ready to run around or

I'm about to have like an like a little

mini anxiety kind of thing going on. So,

if I lift, I feel right. If I don't

lift, something's off. I remember

explaining the same thing to my

therapist and she was like, "Well, what

happens when you don't have access to a

gym?"

>> I'll just like start running or I'll

just like do push-ups or sometimes I'll

just do cut cuz you can find like a

balcony and do burpees. She was like,

"Well, I think the point I was trying to

make is like you you may not always have

access to that as a coping mechanism, so

where else are you going to get it?" And

I was like,

>> "I ain't never thought about that.

>> That's what therapy is for." Damn.

>> Yeah. Exact. No, I think she was trying

to prove her worth.

>> If you can take care of your physical

health and your mental health and then

eat some French fries with your boys,

like that's a great way.

>> You ever go on walks with your wife?

>> You ever walk on walks?

>> We go on walks.

>> How nice is that? Do a little walk. One

thing that I do that is like super like

I would say kind of hippie-ish, but like

I love it. I take my ice plunge. I get

out. I stand on the grass. I manifest

into the sky. I literally I imagine that

I'm absorbing all of my goals and future

things into my body and I I picture

everything that I that that that stands

for what I want. Like I picture like

before it was like picture the wedding,

picture maybe like uh a kid in the

future, picture like successful

business, cutting a ribbon of something

big, like big things happening. And I

feel like trying to absorb the positive

energy through that, it just like sets

your mind right. And also, I really just

believe that if you kind of put that out

into the world and try to accept like

things come.

>> Yeah.

>> Like this freaking Oreo into my mouth.

>> Let's use some Oreos, man.

>> You ready?

>> Sorry. You said things come and I was

going to make a joke, but it was a

really sweet sentiment and so I didn't

say that.

>> I'm I respect it.

>> But then by saying that I was going to

make the joke, I've almost effectively

made the joke without the ever

>> You did. You did. But it wasn't funny.

>> It wasn't funny at all.

>> You know, you should work on that.

I'm probably not going to

>> All right. Cheers.

>> Once you hit your 30s, you're like,

"This is as good as I get. There's no

improvement." I was thinking about

dipping it, but no, we should go. Okay.

>> I'm too deep. We have so many.

>> Yeah, dude. Okay, dig in.

>> One of the world's truly grape foods.

>> Oh my god.

>> Are you kidding me, bro?

>> Well, I'm going to dip it in mostly

maple syrup, but a little bit of

ketchup.

>> I got an idea.

>> Get the white powder.

He's making a crash now. This is a white

collar. This is the white color.

>> Oh, we're rolling. Oh, we're rolling.

>> No way.

>> Where are the Jonas brothers, dude?

>> Which one sat here? Joe.

>> No way.

>> New Jersey legends.

>> New Jersey legend. Legend.

>> Yo, they're from Wyoff. I am from

Sparta. That's like 30 minutes. We could

have been best friends. We could have

only if I just grew up a little bit

younger. Or no, I was born sooner. I

would have been I would have been the

freaking fourth Jonas brother. I There's

There's already a fourth. His name's

Frank.

>> I would have been the I would have been

the fifth Jonas brother. I I meant more

like publicly.

>> Sure. Yeah, the public. Yeah,

>> I know everything about him. I already

know. Sorry.

>> I think you I would say I'm I'm more

like Nick, but you know, it's just I

don't I think you're a Joe. No, I think

I'm like Joe.

>> I think you're a Joe. Yeah, Joe. Kind of

light-hearted trickster god. Nick,

brooding, like really deep, sensitive,

sweet man. And then, you know, Kevin,

the loving family man. Listen, the Jonas

Brothers, when you need uh either a

backup singer or honestly another front

man, like listen,

>> listen, bro. Listen, you don't have to

beg. It's all good. Like, don't

embarrass yourself. I'm in.

>> I'm in.

>> Oh, man.

>> Hold on one sec.

>> There it is. Yeah.

>> Yeah, we

>> I'm never washing my butt again. This is

a this is going to be a violent turn in

conversation, but I really wanted to ask

you given how much work you've done

talking to like teens about steroid use.

>> Yes. Yes.

>> Do you think it's better or worse that

people are now so open with steroid use?

Cuz I hear all of these natty or not

videos of people going like, "No, I'm

not natty. What I have done is not

achievable naturally. Don't think that

it is." And then sort of writing that

off as in like that's a good thing that

I'm admitting that.

>> But now I think we're seeing a huge

explosion. Yeah.

>> of young people on steroids that is like

frankly freaking me the hell out being a

reflection of 17-year-old me.

>> It's definitely

really tough like to witness cuz

obviously when I go to meet and greets a

lot of my a lot of my followers are, you

know, there I have a lot of the range of

every age, but a lot of them are 15 to

23, you know, like just young like

young. I'm I mean I'm 25, not that much

older, but in the developing age of

their fitness journey. And so many of

them have come up to me and asked me

like, "Dude, do you think I should take

steroids?" And I'm like, "Are you

serious?" I'm like,

>> I mean, I'm not going to judge them that

they're asking me this cuz they're

genuinely asking. And I always try to be

like, "Dude, there's like give yourself

5 years of lifting before you even think

of that that question."

>> Social media has rewarded people that do

steroids.

>> When someone posts about something that

taboo, holding the steroid, or they're

jacked as hell, like, it's novel. It's

unique. It's it's it's controversial.

And when people see that and they're

like, "Oh my gosh, that guy just blew up

overnight and he's on gear," they don't

think like, "Oh, maybe it's because of

this or maybe because of that." They're

just like, "He's huge. If I was huge, I

could be that person."

>> Yeah.

>> I mean, I'm not an idiot. Like, there's

a lot of people that watch my videos.

And if I'm juiced up, subconsciously,

I'm promoting steroids. But instead, I'm

natural. I have a natural physique that

is achievable with good genetics. Like

if you have bad genetics, you you'll be

the best version of you. You'll never

look exactly like me. I'll never look

like you. Just that's not how it works.

But I but what I show is that I put in

the work and the habits to look the best

that I can and live the best life I can.

And I'm trying to show that

subconsciously through the same thing as

if I was big

>> that you can do the same naturally and

live a great life. And that's like my

goal is just to show people that to live

life to the absolute fullest in a very

healthy way.

>> You can be diced to the socks here, but

it's being diced to the socks here.

>> Yes.

>> Really matters.

>> That's honestly that's one of the

reasons I I love your content so much. I

made for years and it's this kind of

holistic view of fitness and I

>> I didn't grow up with a lot of these

fitness content creators. I grew up on

like bodybuilding.com message boards

which were

>> what a wild place to be in in the early

2000s. But to see people out there that

are genuine role models, you know, to

young kids like me who are out there.

Sorry, I choke. I literally just show

content.

>> But no, man, it it rolls to see and it's

um

>> I appreciate that a lot.

>> Thanks, man. As you get older and you

start thinking about having kids of your

own, you like suddenly start to get

scared of the youth and like, oh god,

what are they going to think about the

world? And

>> yeah,

>> knowing that you're out there, man, it

No, it means a lot to me.

>> I appreciate that for real. Thank you,

man.

>> Honestly,

>> and you're not one of the youngsters,

though.

>> Oh, man. We always ask people, what does

strength mean to you?

>> I think an Oreo is going to give me the

thought that I need.

What are you doing? You want me to do

that? No. Or you want me to I was going

to Which one are they all?

>> What?

>> I forgot something.

>> Oh, thanks.

>> I was going to give you some, but

>> Oh,

>> okay. Go ahead.

>> What was the question?

>> What are you thinking about?

>> Wait, I for I had a thought and then it

left.

>> What does strength mean? What does

strength mean? Okay, in all seriousness,

I think strength to me, strength means

going through something extremely

difficult that's not even physical, like

a life moment, a life roadblock, whether

it's depression, anxiety, losing a loved

one, whatever that might be. and being

able to make specific choices in life to

either reroute your life for the better

or basically like have a comeback of

your own and be able to overcome those

obstacles. I think that is true

strength. I would like I would say like

my my my strongest

>> point in my life was when I was the most

depressed in 2018. I was at college. I

was so depressed like didn't hated life

and and the only thing I could enjoy was

music and lifting and I consciously made

the decision to take charge and to make

a change in my life by making different

choices and escaping myself from that

scenario

to then live a life that I was meant to

and not that I was supposed to. And that

means a lot to me, like that saying in

itself, like live a life you're meant

to, not you're supposed to. Because

everyone's being told what they're

supposed to by the world, the

government, society, friends, family,

whatever it might be. But there's a

there's a life that we're all meant to

be living.

>> And I think strength comes within making

choices to get yourself to that cuz

everyone deserves that.

>> Finding your purpose, man. People don't

realize that's the biggest single thing

in everyone's life they should find. And

>> I think it's awesome that you found your

purpose. And

>> I'm so grateful.

>> And mine's just to eat pancakes with

people, you know,

>> dude. Heck yeah. That's a purpose, you

know.

>> Dude, pancakes for life, dog.

>> How many calories do you think was in

this entire achievement?

>> Oh god. Okay. I'm actually I'm actually

like sickly good at calorie counting.

>> Oh, I know you are.

>> Um, we ate You ate two Oreos.

>> Yeah. Oh, were you counting up the

actual portions? We were just going to

tally up the total thing.

>> I'm I'm going to do like this, this,

this, and this. It makes

>> Yeah. Yeah. Do it. Do it.

>> So, two, that's 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11.

Every Oreo is 70 calories. I s I sickly

know that.

>> I'm going to say that there's 1,000

calories of Oreos. Mhm.

>> I might be wrong. I think it's actually

Let's go. Let's go. 700. 700 calories of

Oreos. Fries. 600. I might even be low

on that. 650.

>> Hash browns.

>> You got to think about surface area.

>> I know. More oil.

>> This is really thin, though. So, I'm

going to go like 500. Pancakes. 1,000

easily. All right. 2,850 calories total

with the pancakes. And then finally, the

shake.

>> Yeah, we're calculating both shakes in

there.

>> Oh, okay. I'm going to say 550 for for

each. to,00. So I'm going to say there

is 4,000 to 4,500 calories in front of

us. Do you know how much?

>> Yeah, I do. No,

>> you do.

>> 6,200. The big the biggest

underestimation

>> was Oreos.

>> If you think about how much the fry

batter does, just think of like these

could just be individual beignetes and

you would look at that and be like

that's about 700 calories of just fried

dough and then you wrap that around the

600 calories

>> thousand off.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's but it's dude

frying stuff. It Yeah, this absorbed a

lot of oil.

>> Get these away from me, bro.

>> Hey, that's why they're so good.

>> It's about memories, not macros.

>> Memories over macros. Hey, Jesse. Truly,

man. This is incredible. Oh, we're doing

it.

of kissed. I think we did. I liked it.
