Nah, it should be right over here.
I only shaved it one time for a few years.
Wait, like you shaved it completely or what?
Yeah, I guess the beginning of this year for this first go-around.
Is that genetics or what?
No, it's a lust. It's my brother's.
Bro, you're looking at...
I stole it all.
You're looking at like months of hard work right now.
For real?
Yeah.
Bro, that would take like a week and a half.
A day.
For real, bro.
He's like, I just gotta think about it and then it will grow.
I gotta try for it not to grow.
You're the last in Greece? Where are you from?
I'm from Greece, yeah.
Yeah?
I'm from the South Valley.
That's where I live still.
I went to a military academy.
I applied there.
For real?
Me and my brother went there.
Because I did military, junior army guard and stuff in middle school.
I really wanted to go in there.
And then they ended up...
We went for the interview and they ended up accepting me.
But they ended up rejecting me because I wasn't a citizen at the time.
And it was right before they started doing the whole...
Well, they told us that they weren't going to accept us.
Now I'm like...
I think they biased us a lot.
Because when they told us, they had said...
Like I said, we were accepted and everything and they'd like to have me.
And then later they changed their mind and they said, well...
Since he's not a permanent...
Well, a citizen yet, I was just a permanent resident.
Crazy thing, but...
They just didn't know how to tell us how to do it.
Yeah, and I did that.
The sergeant there had recommended me to do it.
Six years in the Navy.
In the Navy?
Oh, yeah.
Were you able to seal the order?
Nah, I just got the Bureau order.
Six years, right?
A full six years?
Yeah, I did it in 2014 and then in 2019.
Were the Navy's kind of cool?
Definitely hit or miss, but it was awesome.
It was awesome?
Yeah, I can't ******* complain.
I got a living.
I took Southeast Asia.
It's like really special.
Were you able to seal it?
Kind of.
I heard he's a shady ass here.
In the Navy.
There was some crazy ----.
Crazy or shady?
Because I heard the Navy's probably like...
I'm not trying to throw shade, but they said it was like the gayest branch.
Oh, I never seen...
I heard some people be doing some gay ----, but I never seen no gay ---- like that.
Nine months on the carrier, you know?
I was not a carrier.
That ---- does happen on carriers, bro.
A carrier, bro, has so many people.
That ----'s like a ******* floating city, bro.
They got Starbucks on that ----.
They got stores in there and stuff.
It's definitely a floating city.
You're gonna get all kinds of weird ----.
And I heard that if there's like...
Like there's so few military girls that...
It's probably gonna **** everybody.
I've heard stories, you know?
I don't know.
I wasn't in the Navy.
That's pretty true for like ******* carriers and ----.
There's women in the Navy?
Oh yeah, there's a lot of women.
But you got some ----, Dick.
And you got some girls in there.
It's like Jesus.
God.
-------.
God.
I never saw much of that.
Because I was on a destroyer.
So there's only like 300 people there.
So it's like everyone knows everyone's business.
Maybe you just kept yourself separate, huh?
I just kinda went there to do my ----.
Like sometimes when you're looking for the...
I try to stay away from drama.
It's a waste of ******* energy.
No...
Don't decide to reenlist after the six years?
Nah.
Not a chance.
I was tired of being a ******* number to...
And a ******* pawn in the game, bro.
Because there's a lot more to life than...
I don't know.
I still don't know.
Just hurry up and win.
I use...
My whole ******* thing was to just use it maybe as a way to ******* just...
Get some experience in something.
Without having to pay for it.
And take it all the time.
It's good experience.
It looks good on a resume.
I've been thinking like...
Just the other day, man.
I'm thinking about like...
What I was like two years ago.
That's what I'm talking about the other day.
What do you do at the time?
It's class.
What is like article or summary report?
Well, I mean, they use it for a lot of different things.
Study how like...
She's kind of like...
See how they affect like different stuff medically.
They have just nuclear materials and stuff.
And how they react to ESR.
Last two months we've been working on...
All these things happen at different points.
Re-accelerators.
At the very end, they have the ultra-cold neutrons.
By the time it gets to the end of the accelerator,
These things are at such a cold temperature that it's like...
They study how...
Changing something from one...
Maybe it was ******* electronic.
I'm not really doing most of the stuff.
Because it's like almost the same.
I wouldn't say the same equipment.
It's very similar.
So it was a pretty easy process.
Just transferring the same stuff.
Just a slightly different system.
It was like...
I was ******* trying to play the same video game.
Except on an Xbox on PlayStation.
It wasn't that hard to get into it.
Why would you, right?
The best part...
Do you work like long shifts or no?
An hour a day probably.
See, he's like me.
He does what he loves.
So like...
It doesn't matter if he's doing 10 hours.
Like, he just...
He enjoys that ----.
Like, it is.
He does.
He enjoys it.
As soon as he puts a show up,
I *******...
No one bothers me.
No one's ******* checking on me.
I show up, do my work.
I know what I need to do.
That's it, really.
They just let me do my work.
But you like the work too, though.
Yeah, yeah.
I enjoy doing that ----.
I can ******* sit there and do the ---- all day.
By the time I know it.
But you ain't gonna catch me there
******* anytime after 4.
He's like,
I'm gone at 4.
So you going at what?
8?
7.
So you're up early.
That was scheduled.
Yeah, I usually get up at 5.
Then I go swim in the gym.
And then *******...
I'm at Santa Fe.
He comes from out there, so...
I'm here for a haircut.
Yeah, man.
That's what's up.
That's what's up, bro.
I mean, I'm...
I always have to get my hair cut.
I'm going nowhere else.
I get them like once every...
Because I've been trying to grow it out,
so it took me a while.
But not every day.
Like once a month.
You gotta grow it.
I got a beard.
I'm like, dog, every day, bro.
I'm gonna be over here.
I'm like, damn, bro.
Like, every three days would have been cool.
Destroyed that instinct in my mind, bro.
Yeah, because you have that kind of hair
that's hard to...
Yeah.
He had to shave it every day.
I used to get ******* bumps and ----.
And then, literally,
you could literally go to a medical clinic.
Like, I can't shave my face.
This ---- hurts so bad.
Of course, running around
with a lined up ass, sick old beard.
It's like, bro, I promise I can't shave.
It's like, my God.
I remember they used to make the black dudes shave,
and their ---- would get, like, so bumpy.
And then they would, like, force them to shave.
Like, bro, these dudes are literally
cutting off their skin.
Yeah, it's...
You shouldn't do that.
I'm a barber, and I can judge.
If they have that kind of skin,
I know they're telling the truth.
So it's like, **** you.
No, bro.
You can't get, like, a profile.
Yeah, you can.
You can, man.
Now you can.
Back, man.
There you go.
You signed the dotted line.
Not us.
And what did you say with off the top?
You want to have just a little trim on top?
Yeah, bro.
You can just cut the top a little bit.
I don't want too much off.
So, see, you can go to the Navy.
Shout out, everyone.
You can go to the Navy,
and look at what this ************ did.
Went to the Navy, ended up over there
at, you know, the labs or wherever,
Los Alamos.
You know, they're just killing the game
because of that.
So it's like, there's no excuse.
Look, another angle.
Look, you go to the military,
they give you free schooling.
There's no ******* excuse.
There's too many ways to succeed
for you guys to not want to...
But then again, too, this homie's dedicated.
Daniel and everything, he's just,
he's humble, but he's also,
you know, he's, look at him,
he's up at 7 in the morning.
I don't know whether he does, but he,
he's up at 5 in the morning,
he's at work at 7.
He's swimming by 5.30.
Swimming by 5.30.
We're learning dedication.
When he does a backstroke,
you just hit the beer
before you do the water.
That's crazy.
Do you do, like, different swimming styles?
Drag, bro, that's it.
That's it, bro.
You just eat the beer outside.
It's like the beer, though.
Do you do, like, different swimming styles?
Or are you just, like, freestyle?
Yeah, I just, I mean,
I used to swim when I was younger.
I used to play water polo, freestyle,
backstroke, breaststroke.
I don't do too much butterfly,
because first thing in the morning, bro,
I feel like that's as much effort
as all my guys do.
I'm just trying to...
You should butterfly, bro.
That's a nice workout, though.
It is.
They can only go up hill from there.
They can only go up hill from there, you know?
Do hard things while you're making...
I was trying to do, *******,
flash hours for a while.
Yeah.
And I did that for, like,
It does, bro.
I tried it multiple times,
but I just kind of...
I just went off.
I've seen a bunch of people
doing that ---- in, like,
trash cans and ----.
But that ---- works, for real.
It's crazy.
That's my experience.
I don't know about you.
That's what I was telling him about,
bro, like...
Because I do the breathing.
I like to do...
Well, I started with, like,
just three rounds,
and that's kind of what I...
Because I tried doing more,
but I wasn't consistent
with the five rounds.
I'm getting good, bro.
I got to be in a location
in New York City
for a minute and a half,
random.
That ---- was sick.
Like, if I had just
tried that by myself,
I was never going to do it, right?
You just did a little bit of, like,
button control breathing,
and, like...
I'll do the dive.
First round, it's, like,
a minute, a minute,
and doing your body
can change.
Doing stuff like that
really puts you, like,
actually in tune
with what...
With Spencer.
I have somebody
who works with me, too.
Do you like...
Do you like the Wim Hof stuff?
Mm-hmm.
Because, you know,
he talks about breath
and everything,
but Dr. Joe Dispenza,
what he talks about is, like...
He doesn't want, like,
the heart to, like,
meditate,
but he does teach the breath,
you know, in a way,
like, the proper way
of breathing.
He studies people
who are middle-diversity
or cancer-diversity,
like, chronic conditions.
Yeah.
Like, they're looking
for, like, meditation.
And in the whole week,
like, what they'll do
is they'll be spending...
He has a couple of books
that I've read about
becoming supernatural.
I think it's a good one.
I really like it.
And that's...
That one goes really
into the science
of the whole thing,
and that's...
I'm pretty sure
that's what you're
estimating,
because you're a scientist.
Kind of.
It's my title.
My title, eh?
My paycheck says scientist.
It's signed by the labs.
I guess so.
That's what's up, though.
A lot of people really...
You're interesting
in Dr. Joe Dispenza,
which is, like,
who's, like,
a podcaster or something
that you listen to?
I do listen to all...
Just random anything, though.
All kinds of...
I don't have, like,
a real specific person
I listen to all the time.
I would recommend...
Go watch...
Go watch Ed Milet.
He does the interview
with Dr. Joe Dispenza.
He does, like,
a few of them.
Watch the first one.
This is, like,
40 minutes, maybe.
But, like...
If that one doesn't
get you hooked,
then, you know,
it probably won't.
Well, you can do
both, give it a try.
No, but that one...
I think if you're, like,
with pop,
you really resonate
with Dr. Joe.
It's all about
the science of it,
but also, like,
the mysticism behind it.
Like, how...
Do you want to have
a heart punch?
Uh, yeah.
Oh, okay.
There's a heart punch.
And then, what about
a wind-up?
Uh...
Yeah, I can go...
It's quantum physics,
so...
You talked about, like,
the power of your mind
to, like,
not just, like,
move yourself,
but, like,
meditate.
Literally, like,
heal your depression,
or, like,
change your personality
through meditation.
That's literally it.
Once you can step back
and actually try to
control what other people
think for you,
then that's when
you can start controlling.
You just gotta take
your control back away,
whatever it may be.
The way he puts it is,
like, you gotta start
thinking about
what you're thinking about.
Yeah.
Because you think
all these subconscious
thoughts all day,
like, you have
thousands of thoughts
every day,
and only, like,
5% of them
are subconscious thoughts,
right?
Yeah.
So it's, like,
you gotta observe.
You just gotta observe
and ask yourself,
you always gotta keep
asking yourself,
why?
Why do I do this?
Why am I thinking this?
Why do I feel this?
That's it.
You start doing that
more often,
and then eventually,
it's, like,
you don't even have
to think about it,
and that just
becomes your subconscious.
That's how it works, bro.
That's how you
program yourself
to see sex, bro.
That's it.
R-A-S,
and it's magic.
So, like,
are you, like,
really into personal
development stuff,
or do you get
most of your content?
Because you can tell
that you're, like,
that you either rant,
or just do those.
I don't know, bro.
I just listen to good ideas,
and whatever I like with,
I'll, like,
take with,
and try to think about it
and apply it,
but that's about it.
I don't try to apply,
like,
a specific set of things,
or put myself
in a specific box,
or just doing whatever
feels good to do.
That's it.
And when I stop
feeling good,
or stop serving
a purpose,
then,
yeah,
nothing's forever, bro.
if it's up to you,
you can just **** it.
Faith?
Depends.
There is something
higher than us.
I mean,
that's what I feel.
I feel like
you're kind of
getting mixed up
in, like,
putting what they
grew up like.
No, yeah,
I have faith
that there is
some kind of
intelligent creator
that agrees.
I'm just asking
because you,
you're basically
speaking of it,
you know,
like,
you're just,
everybody,
everybody just
kind of agrees.
I feel like
everybody has faith
in what it is
that they are.
I feel like
that's a very,
that's what it's like.
A lot of religions
have this.
I don't know,
the right thing to do
is always the right thing
to do,
and that's
what you get.
And that's,
like,
the form of faith.
Very religious,
right,
love each other,
treat each other nice.
Now,
speaking to you,
man,
did it make sense
when you got that job
straight out of the military?
It was crazy.
I got out of the military
and I was living,
I was still living
in San Diego
for a while
and throughout,
August came around,
I moved back over here
for a while.
Guys,
if you want to see the rest,
go to Mind and Bodybuilding
for the future.
