I just had to put my mom into a

different home. It's actually kind of

cool. It's sad, but she's been falling.

And they have this like like new AI orb

that sits up there and it kind of does

like a kind of radar type situation.

>> Mhm.

>> And it detects falls.

>> Oh, wow.

>> So, the second she falls in the home,

like they can rush in and like help her

out and all of that. And they they

carpet the hell out of it now and stuff

like that. So.

>> you think about sort of pre-grieving

that or contending with that yourself?

>> In terms of

>> With family, that's rough. I mean

>> Yeah, I mean

>> It doesn't sound easy. So, if you were

like play forward the tape, right? It's

like I mean I think about this with my

own parents and it's just like nobody

nobody lasts forever.

>> It's one of those things where it's so

funny cuz when you're a teenager and I

remember when my dad was having a hard

time standing and this was like when I

was much younger before he passed and I

was like, "Oh, dad's going to be on like

the thing that I might have to like push

him on it if he has to sit down." Kind

of those walkers that can also be

something you can push somebody on. I

was so embarrassed, you know? I was

like, "Oh, other people are looking at

us or whatever." And now I like push my

mom with pride in her walker thing and

I'm like

>> I don't know.

>> You don't know when it's going to what's

going to happen, but the only thing you

can do is just make sure to show up, you

know, and hang out.

>> Yeah.

>> And and I'm very lucky that

my mom has dementia, but it's it is a

type that

it's not Alzheimer's, so it's probably

vascular or something.

>> Yeah.

>> So, I can walk in and she knows who I

am. She can't tell you what she had for

breakfast, but she knows who I am, which

is like

>> Yeah.

>> I'll take that all day long.

>> For sure.

>> You know, so

>> Yeah. I know you have family members

that are in the same boat, which is

freaking tough.

>> I have a ton of family members with

Alzheimer's. I mean, literally got a

call from one of my relatives wanting to

discuss interventions and

it's a tough conversation because there

really isn't much. Like you have to

as far as I can tell, act preemptively,

which is why actually this relates to

another bullet of mine. You have five?

>> What was that?

>> How many bullets did you have?

>> Oh.

How many [laughter] bullets you have?

>> I was just curious.

>> Of all of all the rye whiskeys, it's the

only one that I can tolerate. I loathe

stationary bikes. I just I I really find

stationary biking to be one of the most

soul-crushing things in the world.

>> It's the worst.

>> However,

>> Yeah.

>> I mean, I've tried Peloton and didn't

like their ergonomics and so on for a

bunch of reasons.

And then I have tried very expensive

very very expensive setups recommended

to me by fancy doctors and so on, which

are just like too uncomfortable. Like

I'm incredibly hunched over. Like my

back is basically parallel with the

floor.

>> Dude, what are you talking about?

>> like kneeing myself in the stomach. It's

so uncomfortable.

>> machines? What are you talking

>> I'm talking about getting on like a

stationary bike, but if you're like in a

racing position, you have to adopt this

hunchback. And like there are a million

reasons why I find that uncomfortable.

There is a bike, however,

it's very easy to find. It's pretty

common in public gyms, called the Keiser

M3i Studio Indoor Bike. I don't know why

they have to make it so difficult in its

nomenclature, but the Keiser M3i is

unique in my experience in that you can

elevate the handlebars enough to sit in

a comfortable position with a decent

saddle, meaning the seat, such that I

can do the V2 and the V4 and all of that

training

>> Mhm.

>> for me in a comfortable position without

compromising my low back, which has been

a huge step forward. So this is the only

bike that I've used consistently for

this kind of training. And I was having

a number of conversations with a

neuroscientist named Dr. Tommy Wood over

a period of weeks. And if for instance,

you do something called the Norwegian 4

by 4, there's data to suggest that if

you do

it's VO2 max training. So it's very very

very intense, but it's like

>> Four on, four off.

>> Four minutes on, three to four minutes

off. Let's just call it three minutes.

Four minutes on, three minutes off. And

you do that for four rounds. This is the

only bike that I've been able to use

>> Mhm. to do this consistently. And if you

do that for I think it's three times a

week

for five to six months, the

volumetric changes, meaning the

neuroanatomical changes in the

hippocampus and other areas that are

certainly indicated in things like

Alzheimer's, lasts for up to five years.

>> Wow.

>> you do five to six months of gutting it

out three times a week,

>> Holy

>> get, the dividends pay off for it seems

up to or possibly beyond five years.

>> Holy

>> Crazy. So, throw in some sauna in there

and you're like good to go.

>> why I'm doing Yeah, I'm doing all the

usual stuff, right? I'm doing the sauna

and

don't let perfect be the enemy of good,

you know what I mean? It's like, okay,

sure, you don't have 30 minutes to do

it, like do 10 minutes. Like, you can't

do a sauna, take a hot bath. Like,

figure it out.

>> You know what my good is that I like?

>> What's that?

>> It's not perfect, but it's good, which

is I go on my treadmill, I set it to

>> Yeah.

>> So, it's like not like crazy, but it's

not Yeah, I can still do

>> Yeah.

>> And I set it to only like 2.5 on the

walking.

>> Yeah.

>> And I'll

play Duolingo chess cuz they have chess

on there now for Duolingo. They teach

you chess. It's amazing. And you can

play friends and live people and all

that stuff and they do game replays and

like teach and I'm learning a ton.

>> Yeah.

>> And 30, 40 minutes go by and you're

drenched in sweat.

>> I know it's not high intensity.

>> Yeah.

>> And all the benefits on the the

cognitive side seem to be around like a

lot of high end hits.

>> Yeah, but who knows?

>> But, it's good, right?

>> It's doing something.

>> It's doing something, right? So, I've

really enjoyed that. Like, if you if you

just want something to both be like

learning and engaged and kind of like

having fun,

>> Yeah.

>> so you forget about the time. Do you

know what I'm talking about where it's

like you just like, oh wait, what time

is it? Oh I've been on for 37

minutes, I can get off now, you know?

Like

>> I I love that type of cardio.

>> Yeah, I mean for me, I mean this is this

is going to sound like maybe a step

down, but it it's like the older I get,

the more I realize

a little goes a long way. Like

yesterday, for instance, I had a bunch

of stuff stacked up and I won't bore

people with the commitments, but

I didn't really have any time to go to

the gym and it was my day to go to the

gym to do X Y and Z exercises. And I

went in and I did three sets. I was

literally in there for 5 minutes and I

left.

>> Mhm. But it's better than nothing.

>> Right. Totally.

>> Something is better than nothing.
