Speaker 1:

A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Essentially, at this point, the fight is over, so you pretty much flow with the goal. Who is worthy to be trusted with the secret to limitless power? I'm ready. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another Bulletproof for BJJ podcast. The magical elixir of life, the secret sauce that is going to help you feel better for everything, including bjj. What am I talking about? I'm talking about bone broth. Oh yes, now this is something that's actually talked about and discussed a lot in the health and fitness circles. But you in the, you folks out there in the bjj world, you'd be like what's this bone broth about? Now we're the reason why I wanted to. I'll be like what the fuck is this infomercial jt? No, trust, it's amazing and it's. I'm not selling you anything other than the idea that this is a good idea so recently. This is why it's come up.

Speaker 1:

Uh, I've been, I've been messing with bone broths for a while and I love me a great soup. But yeah, we started doing it. We started cooking up and Ola, being the culinary genius that she is, she's like I'm going to go deep on this. I'm going to get some recipes. The next thing, I know we have fucking chicken's feet in the fridge. I'm like what is going on? We've got carcasses, organs and all kinds of stuff and the next thing you know got these delicious little jars of potent magic and just started putting them away every morning. And it's fucking amazing. Talk to me, joe, are you a man of the broth? Well, wait, let's, uh, let's. You said amazing a couple of times. I'm like that's a bit of a buzzword for a superfood. Amazing, change your life, make you look younger.

Speaker 1:

Talk to us about what's the benefits of bone broth. What the fuck is it? What is it? What is bone broth? So essentially, for all of you out there, you might already be up on this, but if you're not, many cultures around the world have you know, going back hundreds, thousands of years had soups and mixtures which are basically just bones boiled down to extract the nutrients and then using that to treat colds, treat ailments and just general healthful practices. It doesn't matter if you're in Russia, you're in Vietnam or wherever you might be in the world. For some of you out there, you might enjoy yourself a pho, a Vietnamese noodle soup which is predominantly bone or beef bone or chicken bone broth, with lots of other delicious elements involved. Ramen's got a bit of the bone broth action going on. It does Pretty much every major good soup if it's cooked from scratch.

Speaker 1:

We're not talking like you get a little stock cube and chuck that in. If you're making stock and you're using vegetables and different animal elements, um, for flavor that's that's actually where a lot of it comes from it's like oh, you get that really nice flavor. In the same way, if someone's making like something that might be seafood related, they might use the shells of the prawns or the shells of the the shellfish to add flavor. But it also extracts nutrients. Oh, it's so good.

Speaker 1:

Now, why am I bringing this up now? For those of you out there you, if you're up on it, that's cool, but for those of you not. It's actually really simple and it's something that I feel is not in the general conversation of BJJ. Like I'm not talking to BJJ. Everyone's like no, how good is acai? Well, yeah, I don't think BJJ cats are really talking about food. Period. Maybe it's you know there's a coffee joint. Maybe it's like I don't know good beers or whatever, but I don't think food's really coming up in the conversation all that often. No, and it's generally within that realm. It is a little bit cringy at times when you hear people talking like holistic superfoods, all this kind of, because it's just bullshit. But the reason why I'm bringing it up, well, there's a kernel of truth. It's not that that all of that fluff is like okay, there's something good about this. The way in which it's delivered is bullshit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, not the key message itself per se, but, for example, we started this because we came back from the states and ola wasn't feeling super well and she actually got sick. And I was like, maybe you know what if we do because soup is a huge part of polish culture, like soup is always in the culture and, um, I said, what if we just did some broths in the morning just to get things going? You know whether it be chicken, beef, whatever. And now when you say, um, what if we did when when I say we, I mean you Kind of in the same way, does she like she knows, right? Does she just go? Yeah, that sounds good, we should do that, knowing that she's going to cook this shit. Or is she like whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a second man. No, when I say no, it's established, it's well established. Okay, right, that's the dynamic. Yeah, that's the dynamic. Yeah, when I say we will, what I mean is collectively. We will both benefit from you making this soup.

Speaker 1:

I know you're stuck in bed and you're feeling really unwell, but if you could drag yourself to the kitchen cook up for five hours, no, she's unstoppable. It's one of those things that it's just. It would be the same as, say, your partner me saying hey Joe, you know what? We need these knives sharpened. If we could take care of that, that'd be really good. You know, let's go. But I'm, you know, I'm pretty to the point. So I'd be like yo, if you want me to sharpen the knives, just fucking ask me. Bro, don't make out that we're collaborating, all right. No, I think in any good relationship there's thorough understandings of who does what. It doesn't matter how you talk about it, you know and she started flipping it on me. She's like if we could unpack the dishwasher. You know that kind of vibe.

Speaker 1:

But the interesting thing has been that every morning I do the morning routine. So I'm up first, I will make the teas, the coffees and now reheat the broths. So I'll just put it into these little, nice little jars and you just pop off the lid like it's almost like a little shot, put it in microwave 30 seconds and then feeling good. And what I have noticed personally is that my energy is just better from first thing, like 6 am till lunch, like it's the energy. My general energy levels are more consistent and it also gives me it buys me time before the first coffee as well. So I usually go electrolytes and hydration stuff and then coffee, but factoring in the bone broth. This has been great. You're still doing the electrolytes pre-broth. No, I go broth, electrolytes, creatine and then try and wait and then go coffee before I leave and it's been good, it's been very good.

Speaker 1:

And what's interesting and this is why it's come up many people who do BJJ are clicky, cracky. You know like people. Joint sounds, joint sounds all the time. Ola has noticed her knees are not cracking. She's like look. She's like, look at this, look, look, no sound. And I'm like her. Her knees generally sounds like six-year-old arthritic knees, like they are. They're creaking worse than a bamboo bridge, like they're saying them bad. It's been two weeks of broth, no, cracks, none. And she keeps like reminding me she comes up and I'll just be sitting there and she'll just be working her knee next to my what are you doing? It's like, look, no cracking. I'm like it's really interesting. Now I can't say it is necessarily directly attributable, but we're not doing anything else different. There's a strong correlation, isn't there? And Tell me, joe, what has been your experience with bone broths?

Speaker 1:

Well, I'm a big fan. Let me say that it is most definitely within the eat to win lifestyle. Talking about broths stocks and whatnot, I first got into it. I did a gut health kind of protocol with a guy Jeremy Prince is his name, great guy. I can't remember why. I think I just wanted to. You know, you get like you, you send away your poo and then they do a test on it and they're like, hey, here's all this fucking shit. You got going on right, came back with some stuff like parasites, whatever, um, at the time I was like, well, that seems alarming. These days I don't really give a fuck and I'll talk more on that after. But fair. But I was like, okay, cool, cool. And I was like what do you think we should do? And he goes I got a full protocol. We're going to do this. It's going to fucking kill this and it's going to restore that, blah, blah, blah. But the thing was. I have to apologize too. I think there's a bit of an echo that I can hear and it's because we've created a new room in here, the room. This is just an interim setup, but if you're hearing that it's probably a little bit annoying. Bear with us Bone broth every morning on an empty stomach with some miso paste in it, and that was it.

Speaker 1:

And then I had like some fucking bacteria supplements that I'd take. But I did that, I don't know know, maybe for a couple of months, and I was like this is delicious, like it's super nice, right. Um, like yeah, drinking, drinking a cup of bone broth, like especially with the miso paste in there, but but even just without, is awesome. So I got really into it then and then I kind of just kept up the habit. I've gone in and out of of of habit with it, but it's always been there. What I use it for now is I'll make it and then I'll freeze it in like two cup kind of batches and then we'll use it for cooking. Nice, because we're talking about before it. Just like, whatever you're cooking, if it requires some kind of like a liquid, like water or stock, you put some broth in there and that fucking dish goes from average to excellent. Um, just with the addition of this one thing, that one thing takes you a long time to make, right? Yes, we can talk about the preparation of, but yeah, so that's how I do it now. So when we run out in the freezer, I'll go cook up another fucking big thing of bones and make another batch, and that's how it works.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, today's episode was brought to you by Parry Athletics. They are our preferred apparel sponsor. They've been sponsoring the show for some time now and they do the best gear in the game.

That's right, folks. You get 20% off when you use the code BULLETPROOF20. Get some, you. Well, I mean, let's talk a little bit why. Why is this so good? Like how it works? So, part of the reason why, you know, I clicked onto it.

Speaker 1:

I actually started drinking broths way back in the day when I was very unwell. I'd overtrained, cooked myself and my digestive system had shut down, and so I was having to have chicken broth pretty much every day as a form of gut rehabilitation, because the lining of my intestine had gotten very thin. The mucous lining of my stomach had gotten very thin, it stopped producing certain digestive enzymes and basically I could put food in my mouth but I wasn't absorbing it. I put him in a bad can opener years ago and resulted in jt, just almost dying. Basically every period of six months I was dying of being a little bitch. No, it was, um, when I was about 20 years old, uh, just cutting weight, I got glandular fever, kept training, cutting weight this is taekwondo and then just basically collapsed my immune system. So, anyway, I started having chicken broth. It was amazing, it brought me back. It took about eight, nine months, but slowly I was having broth and then over time, as my gut healed, I was able to eat slightly more complex foods, which wasn't just soups and veggies.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, here's the thing Collagen, my friends. Now some of you out there might be messing around with some collagen supplements. Yeah, you get good powdered collagen. It's been pushed recently as a thing beef collagen, all kinds of stuff, and there's many people out there being like oh yeah, my elbow is better because I'm having collagen. Maybe, like, the research doesn't necessarily show that ingesting collagen directly equates with it goes straight to the joints. You're growing more collagen, yeah, but it is a great source of protein. It's funny that, just on that point, before we go on that, yeah, it's funny that, just on that point, before we go on that, yeah, like the science doesn't support that eating the thing equals rebuilding of the thing, but still I fucking believe it in my mind, like I'm like. No, I think I believe. And I'll tell you one of the-, so, when Joey tore out the heart of his enemy and he ate it, he said I am stronger, I feel my heart getting stronger.

Speaker 1:

Brian, fuck, fucking worked for the cook islanders. I used to, fucking, true, we did a little tour there and after they they'd win a battle. They had this huge, huge, like like it looked like a, a kind of old swimming pool, but they put all the fucking people they just defeated into there. Those motherfuckers are hungry bro. Yeah, um, but the proteins, protein folks.

Speaker 1:

But I remember a guy who is like one of the one of the most staunch like paleo, like a ridge og paleo cats that I've ever known. He's a fucking madman, don't get me wrong, but he's got some some wisdom in there and he's all about broth and he's he's just the, he's the grain free, dairy free. He's all on animals, organs, bunch of vegetables, plants, you know. And he was like the and he reckons the um, the american indians did this. But he's like if your, if your eyes are bad, eat eyes. If your, if your fucking liver's bad, eat liver. If your joints are bad, eat joints.

Speaker 1:

And I've always been like fuck, it's cool, simple, like it's a very simple philosophy and I'm like has to be something in. It has to be maybe. I mean, look, if you believe it. I mean what the science does show is, if you believe it, it is also true. Yeah, so you know, power to the placebo effect.

Speaker 1:

But let's talk about collagen real quick, because that's the thing. I looked in the fridge and I was like there's fucking chicken's feet in here. What the fuck with chicken's feet? And actually chicken legs and feet is some of the highest sources of collagen you can get, like the connective tissues, the bits of the animal that generally are thrown away, like the ears, the nose Thrown away in the West.

Speaker 1:

In the West, yeah, this is the thing. We just want to eat muscle meat, yeah, whereas you look at a lot of other food cultures and they eat all sorts of shit, everything, yeah, and you're like, oh okay, they're actually getting this diversity of nutrients that we miss out on because we just want chicken breast or thighs or drummies. Well, actually in the West, I don't want this fucking gooey shit that I don't know what it is, but actually in the West we do eat sausages. So we're still eating the nostrils and assholes anyway. We just don't know it. It's true, but it's all pulverized, yeah, but I mean there's bits that are discarded. And then there's bits that are discarded and I'm like I don't know if there's even a lot of gelatin in a cow's asshole. These sausages are very chewy, you know what I mean. It's like maybe some parts do need to be thrown out to the dogs. Joe's, like these deep fried assholes. I'd probably eat the ass end out of that fucking cow. Jesus, my elbows feel great, let's growl.

Speaker 1:

So collagen. Feel great, let's roll, so collagen, let's talk about it. So you were just having a look before, joseph, about cooking collagen and breaking it down. Yeah, so collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. There's different proteins, but collagen is the one that forms basically your tendons and ligaments for the most part. I think the thing I read fucking internet 25 to 35 percent of your body's protein is collagen. Now, I don't know any idea how many different types of protein there are. Uh, yes, like what? If we go to amino acids, I think there's like 26, 27 different. Okay, so there's a lot, but collagen is a huge part of your body.

Speaker 1:

Now, a lot of dudes listen to this are probably they're probably their first exposure to collagen is a huge part of your body. Now, a lot of dudes listen to this are probably they're probably their first exposure to collagen is when you drive past or you drop your misses off at, like a beauty clinic, and it's like collagen injections, yeah, and. And so here's the deal collagen, super abundant, um, it's what. It's what makes your skin youthful, plump, right, yeah, that's right. Like when you're young, you have greater stores of collagen. That's what keeps the skin tight and and smooth. As you get older the shit you know you just produce less of it.

Speaker 1:

Yep, um, but also, if you play a sport where the goal is to try and tear the collagen of your opponent, ie rip their elbow tendons to shreds, makes sense that, like you know, we don't want to get the injections in our face. It's not not really going to help, but drinking the shit or eating it's going to help. You're like, babe, could you get me a booking at the beauty salon? Can I get some fucking injections? Just put it right in there. That's where it hurts. How about my fucking kneecaps? Can I get a collagen injection in there? That should be interesting to try.

Speaker 1:

But then if you cook it, it becomes gelatin, gelatin and people would know gelatin because if you've ever eaten jelly, oh yeah, jelly marshmallows Yep, yep, that's two, like bunches, like heaps of, like different snakes, gummy lollies feature gelatin. Ah, so they do, yeah, so there you go. You're eating fucking animal tendons when you pump snakes and shit. There you go. Are you interested to know what the gelatin content actually is like? And also yogurt. There's lots of yogurts out there If you get like a low-fat yogurt, but it still seems thick and creamy.

Speaker 1:

They use renin, which is like an enzyme from sheep's guts, sheep intestines, oh yeah. And they also use gelatin oh, how about that? To make it more gelatinous. Yeah, okay, yeah, it gives that amazing texture. Yeah, I mean, that's how you know the quality of your broth, isn't it? Yeah, After you've put it in the fridge it comes out and it's like jelly. You're like this is the good shit. Yeah, if it comes out and it's still a bowl of water, you fucked up somewhere along the cooking process. That's pretty true. Collagen you're getting heaps of minerals and that's the great thing about the cooking up of the bones.

Speaker 1:

Now you might be thinking, fuck, sounds like a lot of work. I don't know if I can be bothered with that. So what I wanted to talk about here is we could go two ways with it. We can do the cook it from scratch approach or we can do the. You can literally go down the supermarket I was just saying this to Joe before the show show.

Speaker 1:

You can go down to your regular supermarket and they have little jars of bone broth like um concentrate, and you can just get a spoon of that like teaspoon, put it in a cup pour boiling water in there like a cup of tea and just drink it giddy up. Mate cow's assholes for breakfast oh, it's the fucking goods, um. And the thing about that is you don't have to think about it. It doesn't actually require slow cooking for hours. You can literally go to the supermarket or health food store, wherever, and it depends on what you're into. If you're more of a chicken soup kind of human, you can go with that, or you can get a beef one. I've even seen like a lamb's one, and it's actually delicious. It's well-seasoned. You just hot water? Yeah, that's pretty good. But the thing is it does cost money because there's lots of good ingredients in there. Yeah, it's pricey as a thing to buy like that.

Speaker 1:

And you've got to imagine, when you're making it yourself, probably the nutrient density is a lot higher, isn't it? Yeah? And when you're making it yourself, probably the nutrient density is a lot higher, isn't it? Yeah, because it's kind of like cocaine, right, it's like they import…. So when you're at home and you're making cocaine… they import the shit from Colombia, but then it gets stepped on about 16 times before it arrives on Australian shores, naturally. And then some guy in your local area gets it from a bloke he's stepped on it a bunch and then baking soda in. I can make 100 grams. So he pours a bunch of baking soda into it and then doubles his stash. So then, by the time you actually get the shit, there's like 2% Coke in there. Now I just came back from CJI. Now, same shit.

Speaker 1:

If you're Campbell's and you're like our new product is going to be beef broth, right. And then they're like we've got this lovely gelatinous mix here, well, let's just fucking pour a thousand liters of water under that and portion it out. I'm not advocating for this. For any of those out there who want to get more inside tips on how to start your drug empire, contact Joey at Joey Tony Montana on Instagram.

Speaker 1:

Do you find you get thirsty at training? I do. I do all the time. I'm a sweaty human and I need to hydrate. Now, the biggest problem is, by the time you're thirsty, it's a little bit late. You need to hydrate, and that's why we got Sodi. Sodi is sponsoring the show. We've got all the colors of the rainbow, great flavors here. We've got salty citrus, salty pineapple, salty berry and my favorite, salty grapefruit, and they will be releasing two new mystery flavors soon. So why do we need this? It's going to prevent our muscle cramps, it's going to help our energy delivery and it's also going to mean you're less tired, which is an advantage when you're training.

Speaker 1:

If you want to maximize your jujitsu and feel good when you're rolling, you need to get sody and when you purchase, enter the code bulletproof 20 at checkout for 20 off. Oh yeah, but what I was going to say is there are some reputable brands, so you're not going to buy some some campbell soup bullshit. You're actually going to go and find something that will actually list what is in the product itself. Yeah, especially it's often the jar ones or the big um like sachet, like the big plastic pouch, yeah, yeah. And you can feel you're like that's, that's jelly as fuck. That's the one I want. Yeah, that's got the bones in it.

Speaker 1:

But if you are someone who is inclined to make your own thing, it's actually relatively simple. So a very simple formula that I use to to tell ola how to cook it no, no, no, no, shit, I can't. No, I'm not getting away with that. So you cook it? No, no, I. I have cooked it, not recently, okay, but I have witnessed all the ingredients of the recent one for the um.

Speaker 1:

Now, I'm someone who I like to keep things separate. I like chicken separate from beef. I'm not like a mixed kebab kind of guy. I don't fuck with that. Do you know what I mean? Where some people are like, no, whatever, get the mixed, oh, I'll have chicken and beef together. Surprised that you're not that guy. But yeah, no. But when Ola was like, oh, I used chicken's feet and I used also buku and I also used it, I was like what You're combining chicken and beef? You heretic Glug, glug, glug, glug. And it was amazing. I think you'd do better next time. Thank you, it was so good but very simple way to approach, say, chicken. Very easy.

Speaker 1:

If you're someone out there and you're like, how do I get started in this shit? It's actually not that hard. Literally buy a barbecue chicken like a cooked barbecue chicken, so you're not actually cooking the chicken. Put that in the pot, big ass pot. Put it in there. Bit of oil, cut up onions, let that cook, let it break down a little bit. Once the onions are gone brown, then you're just adding a liter and a half of water and then a bunch of chopped vegetables like whatever you like celery vegetables, like whatever you like celery, carrots, beans, you name it. You just basically make a soup and you just put the lid on that, turn that down, leave it there for fucking ever.

Speaker 1:

Now, for those of you out there who have a slow cooker some of you do it's actually super easy because you don't have to think about it. You're not going to burn the house down, but generally you can leave it on there for say, an hour, a little bit more, on a very low temp, come back and then pull the chicken out like what's left the chicken. Generally the meat will fall off, the skin will fall off because it's already cooked, which saves time. Pull the bones out, let it cook some more and then just keep that on the side. Then you this is up to you you basically filter all the meat and all the veggies. So you've just got the soup, just the sauce, just the liquid.

Speaker 1:

Now some people take the fat off. I don't, I. I love the fat, that's me. But then what you do is you put the bones back in. So you, you've got the soup. You've extricated all the veggies, all the meat. You can put that back in for taste if you want, put the bones back in and then let that cook for another half an hour hour on a very low temperature people who don't like fats. You let it cool and you can skim the fat off the top because it goes solid.

Speaker 1:

Me I'm like no fuck that, get the fat in there, scoop it all out, chuck it in some jars, chuck it in, so you're eating the chicken and the vegetables and all of it together. Yeah, but I'm talking if you're just going for the broth, separate the chicken, separate the veggies, but then put the bones back in for the second, cook, right, let them cook down more, then take them out, and then you've got brothalicious and it's just super simple, guys, it's just there, put in the microwave 30 seconds, gulp it down fucking magic. Um, I got, I got a fucking a handy kitchen tip on that one, please. So what I do is whenever we chicken like any kind of chicken with bones, whole chickens or drumsticks, whatever at home, I take all the bones that are discarded after the meal, put them in the freezer and once I've filled up one or two big Tupperware containers full of old bones, I bring those out just frozen, throw them into a roasting tray, chuck that in the oven, brown them and then throw all of those bones, bones, it's a fuckload of bones into the pressure cooker, cover it with water and then I pressure cook that for like 20 minutes and then I usually put it on a slow cook for 12 hours. Pressure cooks amazing, yeah, and it's just, it's a sick way because, um, you get, because you've got so bones, you end up with a super rich mix, you know, like super jelly. Yeah, that's dope.

Speaker 1:

And look, looking at what Ola has been doing recently of combining, say, like beef bone with also chicken legs, like literally chicken's feet. It gives you the super jelly because you're getting bone marrow from the beef bone as well as the collagen from the chicken's feet. And basically she did the research and she's like some of the highest concentrations of collagen are in these damn feet. Even though it feels super primitive, I'm like, well, we do kill animals every day. If we eat them, it can be a little bit confronting. I mean, you're happy to eat the nose and an ar, why not a foot? Right? Yeah, exactly, get it. Just get in there, you can pick your teeth with the claws at the end it's nice. No, so chicken feet at uh, yum cha. Oh, yeah, you a fan, you had those. Uh, I haven't actually. Oh, it's sensational. Oh, like in this fucking sweet, delicious sauce. Yeah, they're so good. And like, why are we selling this so hard? Because… We've released a new bulletproof of BJJ bone broth.

Speaker 1:

Buy it now. Made by JT, by we have made by we I mean Ola is working 24-7 pumping it out. Actually, the cheat mode that we have is we have a slow-fast cooker, so we have a pressure cooker, so we have a pressure cooker which is also a slow cooker. Got one of those too, bro. They're good. You know, you don't have to take 12 hours with that motherfucking. You can just basically turbo it and it's pressure cooking and slow cooking and it gets it done in about two hours so it'll switch between the two automatically. Yeah, oh, that's pretty. Program it. Oh, my god, it's amazing. Anyway, that's a bit. It's a bit out there if you're not into that.

Speaker 1:

But let's talk about this. I actually think there's two excellent times. I mean, you can have it any time of the day as a snack, whatever you like. I'm liking first thing in the morning and I'm also liking it pre-meal, which is probably a little bit of a cultural orientation from from ola, because the soup prior to the meal is a thing in many cultures. So either before dinner, it's the fucking digestive juices flowing, it gets it going and it feels good.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if you ever had an experience where you Cats are like bro, I'm eating a fucking microwave steak for dinner. I don't have time to do a soup before I'm trying to fucking. I've got a chocolate milk in one hand, I got a sausage roll on the other. I'm just trying to fucking get my taxes done on the back of my ute cunt shut up. I'm like, yeah, fair enough, but I'm trying to give you the easy formula, because if you can't cook it yourself, you can go get it. All you need to do is just have it in the fridge. In the same way, you might have any other number of things in the fridge, like sauce or mayonnaise. Chuck it in a mug, heat it up bob's your fucking uncle. It's actually super easy and it tastes good.

Speaker 1:

Here's the thing about most healthy things it tastes like shit. Most healthy things, you're like oh, this tastes healthy. You know it's never like oh, that's so delicious, right, I don't know. I feel like it did when I was a kid, but these days I know this stuff is often quite nice. No, I think we've been. We have been brainwashed and indoctrinated by so many uh flavors and and and and additives and many things that when you eat something that's genuinely healthy, like I was very plain, or it's oh, that's, it's a bit sour, it's a bit bitter, like often.

Speaker 1:

What is good for's genuinely healthy? You're like, oh, it's very plain, or it's oh, that's, it's a bit sour, it's a bit bitter, like often. What is good for you isn't unless you're trained or you're brought up on it. Your palate isn't attuned to necessarily finding healthy things pleasurable. Maybe it is, maybe it's not right. But the thing about broth mate, it's delicious, you have it. You're like, oh, mate, it's delicious, you have it. You're like, oh, it's tasty.

Speaker 1:

And if you're not someone who fucks with soups, you just think of it like, oh, I'm having a cup of tea or I'm having a cup of coffee and you just drink it out your mug and you're like, oh, it's pretty good. And the sensation I get is I feel like I have a happy tummy. That's the vibe. I drink it, I sit there and I think it feels fucking good. I good, I feel good about myself. I'm a fucking saint, I'm a fucking genius. God, I'm great.

Speaker 1:

Fuck, I'm going to go unleash good on the world. I'm going to make a podcast about this shit. That's what it makes me do. Yeah, you know, I got to do. You know if I'll add salt when making it, yes, okay. So I was going to say, yeah, make sure it's salted. Oh yeah, it's fine to drink unsalted, but definitely tastes a lot better if it's just fucking. Mine's usually not. So when I have the cup of it then I fucking decent pinch, okay, yeah. Yeah, I think you know, seasoned to taste whatever you're into. But so for me, first thing in the morning or pre, probably dinner, pre-meal evening, and it's just, you don't have to have a lot, just have a little bit.

Speaker 1:

I believe if you factor this in, not only will your stomach be happy, but the joints will be happier. Everything will feel better in general. The reason why I say this is, for example, say, I have coffee on an empty stomach. The vibes are not good. They're energetic, but I get the like kind of the little doesn't feel highly nourishing, oh god, it's the acidity, yeah, and I'm like, oh, am I burning a hole in my fucking stomach? Lining right now, like shut up and move forward. Jt, yeah, going like. But you know, oh, stomach is seizing. It's not a good vibe, right? Yeah, broth is the absolute opposite of that. Yeah, you feel great. It's a great fucking thing, and so that's why I wanted to speak on this.

Speaker 1:

I love that Love to see you energize, love to know that your gut's feeling good. Maybe you could make a little batch and send some to Uncle Gordon For his tummy aches. Do a little logo up bulletproof for BJJ broth, thinking of you, big G, maybe. I mean if he would have it, I would be happy to send it to him. I just don't know if he's going to be very receptive. It might be too. All we can do is try. That's right. There it is, folks, bone broth. Get it into you. We know you're going to like it.
