Unknown (00:09):
Gib, hello and welcome to another episode of the
podcast. I'm Gib Gerard today onthe show, we've got, we've got
some quick little bits ofintelligence that you guys can
you can put your pocket and takewith you, just fun little bits
that you can take to go whereveryou might be going, little bits
of information that willhopefully make your life a whole
lot better. So without furtherado, here's me and John Tesh
(00:29):
with intelligence for your life.
So Gib, it turns out looking inthe mirror can affect our diet
in a surprising way. Latestresearch is finding that
thinking about outwardappearances can often make us
feel badly, and that can lead usto eating more, to feel better,
whether you're hungry or not. SoI, if I, if I'm looking in the
mirror, especially if I have myshirt off, I'm not looking for a
(00:49):
hamburger. Well,that's why, that's why they say
eat naked, right in front of theair. They do. They say, yeah,
there'sone the guys from Cornell said
this is the number one way tolose weight. Yes.
Well, here's the deal. Look, Iam you're not like this, but I
am like this, where once I feelbad about myself, I say, oh
well. And then I just double,triple, quadruple down. It's too
late now. Yeah, it might as wellorder that Taco Bell and have a
(01:10):
cheeseburger while it's on itsway. And then just, you know,
one foot in front of the other,I have an additional 2500
calories because I already feelbad about myself. So avoiding
the feeling bad about yourselfwhile also being aware that the
food you're going to eat isgoing to be on your body and in
your body, that if you can findthat right combination, then
maybe there's a sliver of hopefor you to, you know, not have
(01:31):
to have your a 1c check nextweek. Yeah,
I but just the other day, mywife said to me, she goes, you
know, you know, pop, pop, youmake this face when you walk by
a mirror, and she made thissilly face. I'm like, I do not.
She had, she videotaped me, andI looked like one of the
Kardashians walking. I don'tknow what it was was like. So
for some reason, I guess mybrain want to say, Okay, if you
(01:52):
make this booty bag, no, notthat far. If you make if you
make your if you make this face,you'll look slimmer. But I'm not
making that face, making thepouty the pouty lips, plus, I
have removed all the mirrors inthe house, so I'm not eating
anything that's intelligence foryour life. Alrighty, heads up.
We now know the time of day whenwe're most likely to snack all
(02:15):
day.
And let's play a song. It's2:41pm Alright, a survey of 2000
people, they must have justlined them up. A survey of 2000
people found that this is thespecific time of day when our
willpower is tested, and cravingstrike the hardest folks at
home. What do you think? Oh,here's
(02:36):
why. Here's why it's the case.
Look, it's far enough afterlunch that you are kind of a
little bit hungry. It's farenough before the work day is
over that you're like, Ah, Idon't have anything to look
forward to. It is an entirelyemotional decision. Plus your
energy starts to wane. And we'vetalked about this before. When
your energy is low and yourmental energy is low, we tend to
reach for high glycemic foods,foods that increase our blood
(02:57):
sugar, because we're trying toour brains trying to get some
energy. So we'll reach forcookies and cakes and those like
high sugar snacks. It is 241 issort of the nexus of all of
those different things, andthat's why we're going for it
makes total sense. Becauseof your kids, my wife, also
known as grandma, always stocksus up with the Milano cookies. I
have an idea. I'm gonna write
2 (03:20):
41pm on every one of those boxes. So when I go for it,
it'll be like, No, this is whyyou're coming in here.
Or just like, have a clock rightover the Milano. So when you
look at it, so it's always 241so Gib, I had heard this before.
Now there's a new study fromNorthwestern University about
juice cleanses. Listen to this.
(03:42):
The juice cleanse business is an$18 billion industry, and now
the research is saying that alot of people go on juice
cleanse to detox and improvetheir health, but it could make
you less healthy. The problem isthat juicing fruits and veggies,
it removes, removes most of thefiber.
That's the key look. It seemsreally popular because you're
not, you're not adding you'renot eating all of the high fat
(04:04):
foods that you normally eat.
It's usually, it's mostly fruitsand vegetables. But you have to
realize you're just getting thesugar from the fruits, which is
fine, but if you get the sugarand none of the fiber, you are
getting some good vitamins. Youare you're just spiking your
blood sugar, and you're havingto deal with that with that
spike in blood sugar the sameway you would if you drank a
high sugar soda. We're alwaystalking about this on our on our
(04:24):
transformation Tuesday call andstuff like that, where, where we
are, where the juicing is notideal, but smoothies are great
because it allows you to drinkall the fruit with the fiber.
Yeah. Andthe fiber is essential for
healthy gut bacteria, healthybrain, right? Oh yeah. And
healthy also. So they're sayingblend yeah juice. That's exactly
right. That's why smoothie, notjuice. If you just get the if
(04:46):
you just get the juice, you'rejust getting the sugar and some
of the vitamins. If you blend,you
get it all. Just remember Gib.
Gib is you blendy, not juicy,right? Please don't say that.
Put on your sweatpants. Blend.
Not juicy, and here we go, fromthe latest from the Harvard
Business School, Gib it's a signthat you're smarter than
(05:07):
average, you're willing tochange your mind. They found
that a willingness to changeyour mind is a hallmark of a
growth mindset, which is a keyto success. I have to tell you
that any success that I've had,I think the I think it's because
I'm willing to say, You knowwhat, this is not working. Or,
or I'm no good at this, or, or Ineed to find somebody who is
better at this than I am. Yeah,well, this is, this is this is
(05:29):
why a growth mindset is soimportant. It's why, if you're a
parent, you need to be in youneed to be inducing this in your
kids. Sometimes the B that yougot and had to turn into an A is
more valuable for that kid thanthe Easy A, the C or D that you
had to bring up to A, B is morevaluable than the Easy A,
because it's that ability togrow, adapt, adapt to adversity,
(05:50):
and then, of course, change yourmind and your course of action
based on new information. Thisis what the most successful
people in the world do. They areconstantly changing and
adapting. I mean, you know, notthat this is the example you
want for everything. But justlook at Madonna. You know, she's
changed her whole personalitylike seven times, and she
maintains her success.
Madonna, there we go. Pulledthat out.
(06:14):
A growth mindset helps you seesetbacks as temporary. That's
awesome. Great point. Gib, boy,I believe, I believe in this
wholeheartedly. Gib, accordingto one poll data, now we should
be forgetting comfort food anddial in on comfort TV. It's
really what we need to calm ourstress and anxiety. Wow. So when
people are turning on forcomfort these days, the most
(06:35):
popular genre is drama,including historical movies or
shows and crime and medicaldramas, and you're watching this
new thing, pit, right? Yes,which is, everybody is talking
about this. It's so it's like,er, plus, right? It's
like, er, but they show you the,like, graphic wound shots. You
know what? I mean? It's becausethere's because it's on cable,
(06:56):
it's not on network TV, so theycan show whatever they want,
right? So it's much more raw andin your face, but
people are now they're bingewatching Grey's Anatomy, old
episodes and law and order, SVU.
Sohere's why those old procedurals
are so popular. They are alwayswrapped up within the context of
the episode, right? So old lawand order, old Grey's Anatomy,
those episodes are going to beresolved by the end of the
(07:19):
episode. This is like they weredesigned for the pre DVR, pre
streaming age. So each episodeis standalone, and that is
incredibly calming and soothing.
When you see plot tension getresolved within the course of a
single episode, that is going torelax you, believe it or not, no
matter how high energy the wholeshow is, as long as it gets
resolved, your brain will beable to settle down.
(07:41):
How interesting is it that thatwill cure stress and anxiety?
Exactly. Okay, imagineall of your stress and anxiety
being resolved in 40 minuteswith a with a nice little quip
at the end. Amen. Well, now weknow it's the we have the secret
to workplace happiness. Listento this. You just remember what
you love about your job.
According to a study by theUniversity of Alberta, they
found that encouraging employeesto simply rethink their jobs was
(08:01):
enough to drop absenteeism by60% and turnover by 75% it
really, it's gratefulness, isn'tit?
It's, it's gratefulness. And bythe way, this applies to every
aspect of your life. If you arefrustrated in your relationship,
and everything that your partneris doing is bothering you, if
you're if you're not feelinggood about yourself, go through
(08:23):
all of the things that you likeabout yourself, all of the
things that you like about yourpartner that make you the
happiest, all of the thingsabout your day that make you
feel the best, that thatgratefulness mindset. You apply
it to your job too, but you canapply it everywhere. When you
embrace what makes you happy andyou remind yourself that there
are things in your life that aregood, you will start to see more
(08:43):
good in your life, and you willgravitate towards the things
that make you thehappiest. Amen, the secret to
workplace happiness, and that'swhether you're in a building or
in your own home. Exactlyremember, focus on what you love
about your job. Gib, I waswatching a piece on YouTube from
Dr Peter, Peter Attia, thelongevity expert, talking about,
like the number one thing thatpredicts longevity is as your
(09:04):
VO, two Max, the healthiness ofyour of your lungs. And now
there are several studies sayingthat the best way to beef up the
health of your lungs, accordingto the Framingham study, a seven
year, 70 year study, is simplyto sing like, belt it out, like
it can be a choir, or justsinging in your car or the
shower. Singing really improvesyour lung function.
(09:26):
For most of us, I think weshould just be singing in our
car or the shower, singing in aplace where we're alone, nobody
can hear us, and the reverb andthe acoustics are fantastic,
beautiful. I like that. But thisis look. We've talked about all
kinds of stuff about, if youhave congestion and allergies,
you should spend some timehumming. If you have a hard time
focusing, you should spend sometime humming. If you are have to
(09:46):
deal with asthma, you shouldtrain yourself to sing because
it increases your lung capacity.
It also increases your breathcontrol. You have to breathe
more deeply and then exhale moreslowly, which, by the way, is
all that breathing andmeditation exercises do and.
Singing, just sets it to music.
So if you are continuouslyBreathing, relaxing your soft
palate, relaxing your throat,all of that is going to boost
(10:08):
the oxygen your blood and allkinds of health indicators are
going to go up. I loveit, all right, folks, here we go
with how not to destroy yourlaundry. I just destroyed one of
my favorite shirts. So you knowhow the you know how the laundry
tags and clothing have all thosehieroglyphics?
Yes, historians are still tryingto figure out what they mean.
The symbols that haveno idea we have no idea what
they mean. What you do is youtake a picture of the tag with
(10:31):
the symbols. Then, if you havean iPhone, you tap the little I
for information. The wordslaundry care will come up and
give you a breakdown of what allthose symbols mean, and you
never have to tumble drysomething that should be aligned
right again, or your pants won'tbe up to your knees. If you have
an Android, you download thelaundry lens app from the Google
Play Store, laundry lens, and itgives you a rundown of the
(10:51):
simplest too. Wow. I wish Iknown this before I shrunk
everything. Lookthis is, this is the best
possible use of AI. I don't needto see, I don't need to see all
kinds of crazy images ofpoliticians and what they would
look like if they were ananimal, and which celebrities
would look like if they wereactually babies. But while also
on the show The Office, I don'tneed that stuff. What this you
(11:12):
should it's on the internet.
Don't, don't look it anyway. Thepoint is, this is a great use
for AI. You use the camera. Itreads the hieroglyphics for you
and it interprets them. I needthis. I need this. And I need
because I never learned this,and I didn't learn what the
little glyphs mean when you'rein the dictionary for each of
the pronunciations. Oh, wow. SoI want the upside down E. I want
(11:34):
my iPhone to tell me that, and Iwant the iPhone to tell me about
what the no ironing symbolmeans. I need to know all of it,
okay, if you missed this, if youmissed the laundry thing, just
email me. John at Tech comm isJohn at touch com? Alrighty.
We're going to talk about thethe windmill effect. The
University of Miami. Scientistssay just making like a windmill.
(11:55):
Start by swinging your arms fromside to side. Gib doing it now
and then windmill them in largecircles and try not to hit the
microphone. The scientists saydoing this for just 15 to 20
seconds can increase your energyfor an hour. It's the windmill
exercise contracting andrelaxing shoulder muscles
releases the neurotransmitteracetylcholine, which reduces
fatigue. So go windmill.
(12:16):
Okay. First of all, Al, I justhit my hand. Second of all, make
sure you have enough space to dothis, as I just discovered, I do
not. And thirdly, this isbasically my warm up before I do
a shoulder my shoulder workoutis just whip my arms around for
10 to 15 seconds. But it'sgreat. It's I like this. You're
generating energy. Swing yourarms from side to side. Go ahead
and then, when? Then windmillthem in large circles. Yeah, the
(12:37):
scientists say doing that for 15or 20 seconds every day, will
increase your energy for a fullhour.
Do this. Do this in private. Dothis in private. Don't do just
standing up at your desk,hitting your co workers. You
know, if you're if you're aserver, you knocking stuff over
on tables. If you haveone of those standard poodles,
watch out, because those thingsrun really high. I don't know. I
just think about it. Knock thepoodle
(13:01):
out. Big Dog. Sorry, Leroy,you're bull mastiff in the head.
Boy, I know this to be true. Gibscent is is such a powerful
motivator. And now there's moremore intel about fragrance. So
you know, you of course, youknow everybody knows the stores
pipe in pleasing aromas. But nowwe know latest research says
(13:22):
that the right scent canincrease sales by as much as 50%
Imean, I can think of two stores
that this worked on this workedon me, right? One was
Abercrombie and Fitch in the90s, It just smelled like, it
smelled like a house party,right? And I was like, Oh,
I gotta have all the coolclothes smell like a bunch of 19
year olds together. Yeah? I waslike 15 when
I was into it, but, yeah, itjust it smelled fantastic. So I
(13:43):
got into that. And thenCinnabon, yeah, by the way. Now
tell, tell the folks about,about that smell. So not only
does it, are they bakingcinnamon rolls so that they
smell fantastic, but they alsohave artificial cinnamon roll
scent, so that even when they'renot fully ready, you're getting
the smell, and it sucks you in.
And you know where it gets usthe most when we're traveling on
the road, doing shows, and we'reat an airport, and you walk past
(14:04):
the cinema, Cinnabon place, andthe next thing you know, you
spent $700 on an airportcinnamon
roll. They have a machine too.
Oh yeah, the aroma machine.
Yeah, yeah. It pumps it out.
It's artificial, but you can usethis to your advantage, right?
So vanilla, chocolate andcinnamon are the most powerful
aromas, and they will put you ina positive mood, but
unfortunately, it's a positivemood that's conducive to
spending just so youknow, okay, so turn off the
(14:26):
online shopping and light thecinnamon vanilla candle. There
it is. That's it for the showtoday. Guys, thank you so much

VO, two Max, the healthiness ofyour of your lungs. And now
there are several studies sayingthat the best way to beef up the
health of your lungs, accordingto the Framingham study, a seven
year, 70 year study, is simplyto sing like, belt it out, like
it can be a choir, or justsinging in your car or the
shower. Singing really improvesyour lung function.
(09:26):
For most of us, I think weshould just be singing in our
car or the shower, singing in aplace where we're alone, nobody
can hear us, and the reverb andthe acoustics are fantastic,
beautiful. I like that. But thisis look. We've talked about all
kinds of stuff about, if youhave congestion and allergies,
you should spend some timehumming. If you have a hard time
focusing, you should spend sometime humming. If you are have to
(09:46):
deal with asthma, you shouldtrain yourself to sing because
it increases your lung capacity.
It also increases your breathcontrol. You have to breathe
more deeply and then exhale moreslowly, which, by the way, is
all that breathing andmeditation exercises do and.
Singing, just sets it to music.
So if you are continuouslyBreathing, relaxing your soft
palate, relaxing your throat,all of that is going to boost
(10:08):
the oxygen your blood and allkinds of health indicators are
going to go up. I loveit, all right, folks, here we go
with how not to destroy yourlaundry. I just destroyed one of
my favorite shirts. So you knowhow the you know how the laundry
tags and clothing have all thosehieroglyphics?
Yes, historians are still tryingto figure out what they mean.
The symbols that haveno idea we have no idea what
they mean. What you do is youtake a picture of the tag with
(10:31):
the symbols. Then, if you havean iPhone, you tap the little I
for information. The wordslaundry care will come up and
give you a breakdown of what allthose symbols mean, and you
never have to tumble drysomething that should be aligned
right again, or your pants won'tbe up to your knees. If you have
an Android, you download thelaundry lens app from the Google
Play Store, laundry lens, and itgives you a rundown of the
(10:51):
simplest too. Wow. I wish Iknown this before I shrunk
everything. Lookthis is, this is the best
possible use of AI. I don't needto see, I don't need to see all
kinds of crazy images ofpoliticians and what they would
look like if they were ananimal, and which celebrities
would look like if they wereactually babies. But while also
on the show The Office, I don'tneed that stuff. What this you
(11:12):
should it's on the internet.
Don't, don't look it anyway. Thepoint is, this is a great use
for AI. You use the camera. Itreads the hieroglyphics for you
and it interprets them. I needthis. I need this. And I need
because I never learned this,and I didn't learn what the
little glyphs mean when you'rein the dictionary for each of
the pronunciations. Oh, wow. SoI want the upside down E. I want
(11:34):
my iPhone to tell me that, and Iwant the iPhone to tell me about
what the no ironing symbolmeans. I need to know all of it,
okay, if you missed this, if youmissed the laundry thing, just
email me. John at Tech comm isJohn at touch com? Alrighty.
We're going to talk about thethe windmill effect. The
University of Miami. Scientistssay just making like a windmill.
(11:55):
Start by swinging your arms fromside to side. Gib doing it now
and then windmill them in largecircles and try not to hit the
microphone. The scientists saydoing this for just 15 to 20
seconds can increase your energyfor an hour. It's the windmill
exercise contracting andrelaxing shoulder muscles
releases the neurotransmitteracetylcholine, which reduces
fatigue. So go windmill.
(12:16):
Okay. First of all, Al, I justhit my hand. Second of all, make
sure you have enough space to dothis, as I just discovered, I do
not. And thirdly, this isbasically my warm up before I do
a shoulder my shoulder workoutis just whip my arms around for
10 to 15 seconds. But it'sgreat. It's I like this. You're
generating energy. Swing yourarms from side to side. Go ahead
and then, when? Then windmillthem in large circles. Yeah, the
(12:37):
scientists say doing that for 15or 20 seconds every day, will
increase your energy for a fullhour.
Do this. Do this in private. Dothis in private. Don't do just
standing up at your desk,hitting your co workers. You
know, if you're if you're aserver, you knocking stuff over
on tables. If you haveone of those standard poodles,
watch out, because those thingsrun really high. I don't know. I
just think about it. Knock thepoodle
(13:01):
out. Big Dog. Sorry, Leroy,you're bull mastiff in the head.
Boy, I know this to be true. Gibscent is is such a powerful
motivator. And now there's moremore intel about fragrance. So
you know, you of course, youknow everybody knows the stores
pipe in pleasing aromas. But nowwe know latest research says
(13:22):
that the right scent canincrease sales by as much as 50%
Imean, I can think of two stores
that this worked on this workedon me, right? One was
Abercrombie and Fitch in the90s, It just smelled like, it
smelled like a house party,right? And I was like, Oh,
I gotta have all the coolclothes smell like a bunch of 19
year olds together. Yeah? I waslike 15 when
I was into it, but, yeah, itjust it smelled fantastic. So I
(13:43):
got into that. And thenCinnabon, yeah, by the way. Now
tell, tell the folks about,about that smell. So not only
does it, are they bakingcinnamon rolls so that they
smell fantastic, but they alsohave artificial cinnamon roll
scent, so that even when they'renot fully ready, you're getting
the smell, and it sucks you in.
And you know where it gets usthe most when we're traveling on
the road, doing shows, and we'reat an airport, and you walk past
(14:04):
the cinema, Cinnabon place, andthe next thing you know, you
spent $700 on an airportcinnamon
roll. They have a machine too.
Oh yeah, the aroma machine.
Yeah, yeah. It pumps it out.
It's artificial, but you can usethis to your advantage, right?
So vanilla, chocolate andcinnamon are the most powerful
aromas, and they will put you ina positive mood, but
unfortunately, it's a positivemood that's conducive to
spending just so youknow, okay, so turn off the
(14:26):
online shopping and light thecinnamon vanilla candle. There
it is. That's it for the showtoday. Guys, thank you so much
