What Is This Episode About…

In this episode, we are going to talk about why people don’t want to go first. People are always hesitant to be the first to do anything, like enter a food line, sing the first karaoke song, introduce themselves to a room or arrive at a party. 

People tend to just go with the flow and settle for what is considered to be “normal”. But I hate to break the news to you, normal rarely steps up and makes a difference.

You should BE THE FIRST to go so that you set the standard of excellence!!!

By the end of this episode you’ll walk away with some ways and tips you can implement to start to step up and be different from the norms and live a confident life.

That’s the way we Rebels live.

00:03 I’m Cristy Code Red and you’re listening to Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle where we believe food holds the power to heal or poison and we believe our society has been misled regarding proper nutrition and weight loss. You’re in the right place if you’re looking for some straight up truth because I’m here to shed light on the lies and brainwashing that has taken place over the past five decades. Thanks so much for listening.

00:28 Welcome back to another episode of Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle. I’m Cristy Code Red. Happy to be here with you. I’m enjoying my podcasting more and more and more. I’m getting more comfortable with it. I’m getting, well it’s a lot more pressure I guess with the webcam or maybe just because I don’t want to redo my podcast. And you know when I was just recording the audio, the podcasting guys, if I messed up it could take the mess up out of there. But now that it’s like I’m hanging it all out for the world now. Like here it is right here. So you know what I didn’t do? I wanted to pull this up. Let me pull it up right now. You guys. I was gonna read some of the feedback from the podcast on iTunes, right? Let me see here. Oh, I always, oh, here we go. Here we go.

01:11 See, boy, you have almost 300 ratings so far. All right, let’s read this one. Guys, I’ve not read these ahead of time. This is from Jan and Roane. Jan and Roane she gave me five stars. Thank you Jan and Roane. I don’t know if it’s Janet OEF is Janeane, but she gets it. I look forward to listening to the new podcast weekly episode 16 this week blew me away. It’s like you were preaching directly to me. Definitely the message we all need to hear. I learned something new all the time, even though I’d been doing Code Red for over a year. Now Cristy is the best. Her no nonsense, choose your hard. approach to weight loss is something that everyone who has ever struggled to lose weight needs to hear. Keep producing these awesome podcasts. While I got so much money invested in between the podcasting agency and my microphone and I gotta keep going.

02:05 I gotta keep going. I have no choice. All right. This is MonicaP23. Monica Five Stars best advice that anyone could give. Real honest advice and if you feel embarrassed, it’s because this the advice you need. Go get them, Cristy. Thank you, Monica. I love it. You’re so great. Let’s see here. Stevie Lynn, 36, this podcast is my weekly lifeline. Oh my gosh. I wait for it every Tuesday. Actually it’s Wednesday, but thank you. It used to be Tuesday, but guys, now it’s dropping on Wednesdays so it doesn’t interfere with my YouTube videos dropping. This program has changed my life so much already and I can’t wait to share about it. I love how real Cristy is. She’s not giving me a bunch of my little pony cotton candy fluff.

02:57 I love it. She is telling me the truth. She’s pushing me to be my best self in all areas. I feel like she’s talking directly to me because you know what, she ask me question. She has a question. We’ll get to questions later. You know, I guess I could answer it now. And my question is what do you do with the scale is stuck. You know you’re following the rules to a t, but man, it just doesn’t want to bulge. It doesn’t want to bulge a Freudian slip. Also, what if you like exercise but you always stall our game the next day or she’s got four questions here. Let me just answer the first one. My question is if the scale is stuck and you know you’re following it to a t. So my first question for Stevie Lynn 36 is do you have a custom program?

03:40 Because if you are stuck with a custom program, your certified coach is specially trained to get you unstuck. Alright? In his or her coaching manual, they will get you unstuck. That’s why a custom program is the way to go. That’s what we do. We get you one stuck and we have lots of ways to get you unstuck. If you don’t have a custom program, assuming you don’t or you wouldn’t even need to ask this question. The top three reasons I’ll say this cause I can’t troubleshoot everything cause I don’t know anything about you. The top three reasons for a weight loss stall, lack of sleep, lack of water, being sloppy with your food. The problem is, people always say this to us, they go, I don’t know what’s going on. I’m perfect than me. Like I’m doing everything right. I’m drinking all my water and my food is perfectly, it’s on point.

04:32 I’m not cheating. I’m do you know, I mean I’m only getting four hours of sleep at night, but still I’m doing everything right. What do we always say? You ain’t sleeping, you ain’t losing. If you are missing the mark on sleep, you will not lose weight. Period. End of sentence. End of story. That’s the bottom line. It doesn’t matter what your bull crap excuses on why you’re losing sleep and it might not be a bullcrap excuse. You might be losing sleep because you’ve got a loved one in the hospital. You might be losing sleep because your baby is collaque. You might be losing sleep because your oldest son just went to jail and you’re worrying about him. Like it might not be a boat like a bullcrap excuse, but it is the reason that you’re missing sleep. But the reason doesn’t matter. Body doesn’t say, Oh, I know you just put your dad in the nursing home.

05:26 I know you’re sad. Here you go. Here’s another 1.25 pounds off this morning. Here you go. They, if you can’t reason with physiology, you can’t reason with biology guys, you ain’t sleeping. We’ve gone through this before. So that’s what I’m, I’m talking about the lack of sleep, lack of water or sloppy with your food, sticking something in your mouth. If you allow your children to eat goldfish crackers with high fructose corn syrup, by the way, it’s absolute garbage. Don’t do to your kids guys, you’re poisoning your kids. But anyway, if you allow your kids to have goldfish crackers and you take a handful out of the box and you put them on their little plates with the Little Dora cartoon characters, right? And one falls on the ground and you scoop down and you get it and you pop it in your mouth or one slips into the scene.

06:18 Can you grab it and you pop it in your mouth. That’s the kind of crap devil stole you because it’s not just one. It adds up over and over and over. One plus one plus one plus one, one nibble, one piece, one drop, one gram, one grain, one little whatever. That’s why I call being sloppy with your food. You don’t how many times you actually do that throughout the day. Weight watchers calls them BLT, cubes, bites, Nipples, licks. Yes I was right bites, little nibbles, licks. That’s what weight watchers call. I’m not a weight watchers fan, but that is a clever little thing that they have. Anyway, those are the things that add up that will stall your weight loss. So I just asked you Stevie, that you just reevaluate the three big things, lack of water, lack of sleep, sloppy with your food and from there it’s hard for me to troubleshoot and it would not be prudent for me to troubleshoot.

07:12 I don’t know anything about you. I have not. We have not met medically screened you like we do in our custom programs. We have not looked at your medical history and your medications. You might be taking something that is not right. I don’t know. I don’t know. I can’t imagine real food, water and sleep. Would Contraindicate anybody’s medical situation? I don’t know, but maybe it does. So that’s what I would say to you and I’m sorry I’m not going to give you, I can’t give you a more detailed answer. I just don’t know anything about you. So anyway, thank you for the reviews. I’ll try to do that every time. But I don’t remember until I hit the button to start recording. And then here I am trying to pull up my phone. I got my mom box ring me and I got, you know, I got my sister sending and carried my sister.

07:57 She’ll send me just songs, like she’ll write these songs and she’ll sing them for me. And they’re hilarious. As I’ve told you guys before, my sister Carrie is the funniest human being on the face of the planet. And it’ll be just these funny songs that she writes on the spot. And so I love them and I’ll see them come through. So I need to not mess with my phone while I’m doing podcasts. All right, so guys, thanks for being on here with me. I’m really glad that you’re loving this. I’m glad that you are going back and rewatching and re listening to old episodes. I did the same thing for my podcasting favorite people and I just highly encourage you to share this. I highly encourage you to get, if people want to know all about me, my gosh, turn on YouTube. We have a youtube recording now of of me doing the podcasting and then of course we have the regular just podcasting recording that you just carry around with you or listen while you’re driving or listen to what you’re getting ready for work.

08:48 Let your kids listen. I’m not gonna say anything bad. I mean I’m not going to say anything bad as far as I don’t curse or anything, but I think that your kids need listen to me. So thank you. Thank you for spreading the word and guys always, always understand that you need to be on a 10 pound take down challenge 10 pound, take down.com that’s what you need to be doing. Get to the challenge. Get on the next challenge. Especially if you’re thinking about doing this, I’d actually rather you first go through a challenge than just get a custom program because that way you’re not going to be shocked by my personality. That’s the problem. The problem is that people, they don’t know about the tough love approach. They don’t understand that there is no negotiating with me. You don’t come on in my program and then argue with me or my coaches like, are you kidding me? That’s not going to be tolerated for a split second, like not even this much. So when they like, oh, but let me tell you, but what we do in my Keto group, well let me, oh well my doctor told me this. Yeah.

09:49 Oh, Whoa, whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, oh,

09:53 oh, oh we a rolling like that. No, you are not going to get over. I mean you’ll just kids shut down. I’m not even gonna Bother. I’ve got thousands of people that were coaching to better health and hope I’m not going to tolerate you arguing with me if you ain’t ready. And you know I look at somebody who is 75 pounds overweight and they’re arguing with me about my program. I’m like, you’re 75 pounds overweight, are overweight. Whatever you were doing before wasn’t working or you wouldn’t be here. So I don’t know what the heck show. It’s really good for people to come on the challenge and spend 30 days with me just seeing if this is going to be a good fit for them before they invest in a custom program. The custom program is hands down the best way to go and you can skip to the front of the line and you can get a custom program, but I really liked for you to go through a challenge.

10:43 It’s not a numbers game for me guys. I don’t need your money like you. I just want to get your money. I just want to get your, no, I want you to succeed on this. And it’s so much easier for me. If you go through a challenge and maybe you realize this is not the right fit for you. It’s easier for everybody that you step away at that point. Then go through a full on thousand dollar custom program, three full months of intense coaching and turning in your weight every Friday. And having that high expectation that I have of you in your coach has of you and somebody riding you and somebody all over you like white on rice is so much easier if you go through the challenge and figure it out then and figure it out too late, you know? So I just wanna encourage you guys all that is available to you.

11:26 10 pound take down.com you know, talking today about being the first to go is setting the standard that Rhonda Congar has a, has a book called Hugo first. That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m swapping those words around and I’m saying be the first to go. Now, any time I ever go to a conference or a workshop or I’m in a mastermind group or I’m in a Church Bible study or I’m in crossfit class or anything like that with there’s a group of people and a leader at the front, you know, and the leaders says, we’re going to go ahead and go around the room and introduce ourselves and we just want to get to know you. Tell us who you are, where you’re from and what you do. You better believe that she’s not even going to get that whole sentence out. Before I throw up my hands and be like right here, I want to go first.

12:16 I want to go first. Right here. I’m going to go first. I’m not obnoxious about it, but man, I’m mean. I’m the first one to throw up my hands and you notice it. Nobody ever wants to go first. Nobody ever throws up their hands. I’ll go first. I mean, I’m cool about it and like, oh yeah, right here. I’ll go first. And you know, that’s always how it goes down. When I was in junior high I had a hearing loss and when we didn’t know about it and so I always sat at the back of the class when it was alphabetic order cause my last name starts with a t and so I couldn’t hear and since my hearing loss was discovered, when we realized I was deaf in one ear, I started sitting in the front of the class. So I sit in front of the class all through high school and college.

12:53 Even though the professor had a microphone, it was a giant auditorium. I always sat in the front of the class and it didn’t have anything at that point to do with my hearing loss. But it was because I wanted to be the first one in line. I wanted to be the first one next to the professor. I wanted to be the one that had the first piece of the action. I’m always the one that’s the first one in line. Like if there’s an old person, look, if you’ve got an old person, I, if I’ve got an old person, you know, like a walker and they’re trying to make their way through the door, I am absolutely going to wait. I’m going to make sure they get through the door and hold the door for them. I’m a public gonna put my hand on their shoulder maybe right on their back.

13:28 I might do a little squeeze. I love old people. I mean I’m going to make sure I take care of old people, you know, and ladies with kids, I kind of have a a or parents, not this lady’s parents with kids. They got their hands full. I like to step up and help them out. You know, getting into whatever situation they’re in. Like that’s not a time there. I’m going to jump in front of somebody. I’m not going to be a jerk about it, you guys, but I am always going to be the first person in line. Always going to be the first person that goes first. And you might be, I don’t know what you’re thinking right now. Like, well, what Cristy? Why does she do that? The reason I do it, it might not be what you think. The reason I am the first to raise my hand to be the first in line, the first one to do anything is because I want to set the standard of what I expect in that room.

14:20 I want to set the standard of excellence. I know that I am excellent. I know I am vibrating at a higher level and I want the group that I’m in to vibrate up to my level. So by me stepping up and going the first to introduce myself, being the first to introduce myself, I am standing up, which you should always do when you address a crowd. All we never sit down, guys. There are people that can’t freaking hear you in the back. Make eye contact. I’m always going to step up. I’m always going to rotate my body towards the majority of the group. There might be someone behind me. I just can’t help that part. I’m always gonna make eye contact with that group. I’m always going to smile. Hey, what’s going on guys? I’m Christy Code Red. I live in Boise, Idaho. I am in the weight loss.

15:13 I own Code Red. I’m in the weight loss industry. I created a nutrition program that enables people to lose 10% of their body weight every month without Shakespeare’s diet foods or exercise. I live in Boise, Idaho with my husband, miles, my dog Anabel. We love being in the mountains. We Love Mountain biking and snowshoeing and snowboarding. We love to travel to Europe. We love to snuggle with our dog, Annabel, she’s the love of our life. I’m really glad to be here with all of you. I’m looking forward to getting to know each of you. What did I just did? I just set the standard of what I expect out of the rest of the group. I set the standard out of what I expect them to say and I promise you the group is going to, now they’re going to stand up. Most of them will.

16:01 Now they will say a little more. Hey, instead of saying, Hey, I’m Ron, I’m from San Diego. I’m in marketing. Well, no. First of all, Ron, nobody hurts you. In the back of the class. Second of all, you didn’t even look at any of us. Do you even care? Third of all, how about you smile Ron. Cause you look like a dead potato. Alright. Like what the heck is that buddy? No, he’s not. He’s going to stand up. He’s going to, you know, smile at us possibly. Hey guys, I’m Ron. I live in San Diego with my wife Cheryl and our two daughters. Great to be here with all of you. I’m in marketing. I’ve been in marketing for 30 years. I love it. I just come natural. I’m an entrepreneur. I’m now branching out into my own company and I’m just excited to meet all of you.

16:45 Excited to be here with you guys. That’s so different than what he was gonna say, which was Ron. Ron. I live in San Diego and I’m in marketing all quiet and sitting down can even hear him. Not even lifting his eyes up. I promise you by me going first. I set the standard of excellence for that group so everybody rises up and meets that level. I don’t hope this doesn’t come off as conceited. Obviously I’m in that group because I want to learn or whatever reason I’m in that group. I don’t, I don’t even know. I mean I can set some scenarios for you, but I think you get that part. I’m there to learn. There is a leader, I’m not the leader so I’m not trying to be conceited. I’m not act like I don’t know. I I, but this, this I have figured out and this is what I have discovered works.

17:29 Now how about being the first to go through a line? Okay. Like miles, we’ll make food like we have my family over or something and if they’re coming to stay at miles I’ve, you know, we call him chef miles cause he’s an outstanding cook. Outstanding Baker. He’s very good. He’s always experimenting. He makes wonderful meals. Well miles will make this wonderful meal and you know when you have company, a lot of times will set out the plates so it will be the plates right here. Then the silverware, like the forks and napkins, and it’ll set out the main dish and the serving spoon and down to Dah, Dah, Dah, Dah, kind of like potluck style at church, right? Kinda down the line. So you take your plate and you step one step to the side and you just keep stepping to the side as you work your way in dishing your plate up.

18:08 So miles will lay everything out at all, be ready and he’ll say this, even my family, like this is my family. This is not awkward strangers, you know? And they’ll say, okay, well dinner is ready. Guys would love you to step on up and dish up. Well, nobody knows. Nobody goes, nobody wants to be the first. This happens at every single eating place, right? Like nobody wants to, maybe not the church part. Love potluck. I mean, I remember being so hungry when I was sitting in Church and my dad was preaching and I was, I could smell the church ladies, you know, like taking the tinfoil off the casserole and heating things up and dear God, I was so hungry. Like, I’ve just the, Oh, I was so hungry. Right. Well, so maybe, maybe in that case you might be running to the front of the line, but people just don’t want to be the first to go through a line.

18:54 And my theory is that they don’t want to be the one that possibly makes a mistake doing something. You know, they don’t know how much to dish up. So like going through a food line, right. Well what if they take too much? What if they take too much chicken? What if they didn’t? What if everybody judges them for how much they, you know, nobody wants to be the first person to make the first move. They don’t, nobody wants to go first. It Karaoke, unless they’ve all been drinking and nobody cares. I don’t do karaoke like that. I don’t drink, I don’t like the drink, but they don’t know what the group, cause they don’t want to embarrass themselves. Right. They don’t want you be the one that makes the first mistake. What if their voice kind of sucks and there are other people in the room that are actually like really, really good singers and then they just made a fool of themselves.

19:42 They never would have maybe stepped up if they would have known that everybody else is a good singer like that. Oh, I’m not seeing it in this group. Oh my gosh. You know, so nobody wants to go first. It’s ridiculous to me. When did our confidence level get so low that we did not want to be the first to make a move? We didn’t want to be the first to, to hit the pin, Yada. They didn’t, we didn’t want to be the first to present their speech. I mean, I just went to a speaking workshop in Milwaukee and I was the first, we’re going to go around the room when somebody, oh, here. Here was the good example for, you know, we, we worked, it was a two day workshop that we did our presentation and three different parts for different parts. And so we chunked it up into the intro.

20:30 So the first part before they taught us anything was, why don’t you just give us the coaches said your normal intro, just give us your normal intro that you would normally give to any presentation. And I kind of had my standard intro, you know that I usually just give, I raised my hand. Yeah, Pat, I’ll go first. Yeah, go ahead Cristy. Step on up. So I gave my normal intro than I normally would give it a normal presentation without any training. I’ve never had training in speech. I’ve never had except for everybody, like Communications One on one in college. But that was like ages ago, right? So that took a lot of guts to go first because guess what? My intro was, I wouldn’t say terrible, but it was all over the map. Believe me, it was all over the map. I mean, I was repeating myself.

21:16 I was stuttering. I was like repeating things over and over. It was not good. I mean, I was not doing a good job. I was rambling on about things, you know? And so there was so many changes that needed to be made to my intro and I wasn’t embarrassed about that. Okay, Cristy, we’re going to clean this up and tighten this up. They didn’t say that they were much nicer than me. Oh, they were so they were so nice. They had a way of saying things to where you didn’t feel stupid but you improved. Right. But somebody had to go first. Somebody had to be the one that Guinea pig, right. Be the one that was like, yeah, this is my normal intro. Tear it apart. That’s what I paid you guys for. And Pat said, thank you for going first, Cristy. I think it shows a low self confidence when somebody doesn’t want to go first.

22:03 I don’t think people want to make a mistake. I don’t think they want to be the one that looks stupid because they care so much about what other people think about them. And I just don’t because there’s nothing that I can do or think or say this. There’s nothing that I can do that’s gonna be so radically stupid or so like even if it is, what if I stumble and fall? What if I fall straight on my face and I bust out my two front teeth? So what? I mean people have done that before. To me it’s just not a deterring factor like thinking well what is someone else else going to think in that room? Do you realize guys that they are worried too much about what you think of them to worry about what they must think of you that is just wasting energy and I’ll do another podcast on that, but people just have this low self confidence.

22:52 They don’t want to be the one that steps up and possibly is the one that makes some sort of mistake or possibly is the one that, you know, I don’t believe that about myself. I think I’m pretty much, good at whatever I do good enough to pull it off to at least get through it to pull something off and I know that I’ll be good enough to at least rise caused the room to at least have enough confidence to go next. My Gosh. At least stand up. At least speak up in the room and I think that by me going first I’m raising the excellence and I’m, I’m raising the standard. I expect excellence from myself in everything I do and I expect excellence from the people around me. I expect excellence from the other drivers on the road from me. Other people are taking the same class that I’m taking from the other people in my gym.

23:46 I expect excellence of course from my rebels. I expect it from my coaches, from the Code Red staff that I work with. I expect excellent from all the Code Red subcontractors. I expect excellence to be delivered from the graphic designer for Code Red from the people in my church congregation, from my family members. I expect excellence from my dog every single day. I expect her to keep up with me on the trail. This kind of expectations, guys, it raises the level in the room. It causes people to vibrate at your level and I don’t want the energy, the room to go down and by me going first, I can assure that it’s going to go up by me going first. I know what’s going to happen. Don’t wait to see what other people are going to do. Don’t wait. I don’t want to be compared to the norm.

24:45 All right. I’m not normal. I don’t want to be compared to the normal and I don’t want anybody around me to be normal. Let me, have you looked around, lady, have you seen what normal is? Have you seen that one third of our country, 100 million people are obese. Obese. I didn’t say overweight. Actually two thirds are overweight and 58% of all people have either type two diabetes or prediabetic I. That is not a joke. I don’t want to be compared to those people. They’re a very sick people. They are on their way to sickness and disease and cancer. They are on their way. I don’t want to be compared to that. So why? Cause in the back of your mind you’re saying, well I just want to, I don’t want to stand out. I don’t want to go first because they don’t want to stand out.

25:34 Why? Why don’t you want to stand out? Why would you ever ever want to blend in? Why would you ever want to be not noticed? Why would you ever want to go unnoticed ever in your life ever. To me, that is my worst fear. My worst fear is blending in my worst. Fear is being normal. My worst fear is going through my life and just going through the motions. And that’s what some of you are doing right now. As you’re listening to me, you’re just being just in conspicuous. You’re just being, you’re planning in, you’re just fading to the back of the room. You’re fading to the group, you’re fading in. There is nobody fading in here. I expect more of you than that and you should expect more of you than that. We don’t want any wilting flowers. We want blooming flowers. We don’t want people to just be on it. [inaudible]

26:34 I’m sorry. I can’t hear you. I’m sorry. Can you speak up? Because the world needs to hear what you’ve got to say. You have blended in all these years, all these decades, and it’s a different day. It’s a new day. It’s time for you to step up your game and vibrate higher and vibrate at a frequency of up here. Stop blending in and stop wanting to be normal. Do you truly want to be normal? I just want a normal life. Oh, I just want normal happiness. Baloney. I want an exceptional life. I want exceptional happiness. I want exceptional wealth. I want exceptional success. I want to exceptional book sales. I want exceptional revenue each month for Code Red. I want an exceptional marriage. I want to be an exceptional dog mom and I want her to be an exceptional dog. Normal is not okay. Mediocre is not okay, and for you to stand back and wait for somebody to go in front of you is not okay.

27:36 Those days are over. It’s a new day. No longer do you wait. When someone asks for a volunteer from here on out, from the time that you’re listening to this and hearing my voice, you are the first one to raise your hand. You’re the first one to take that first step forward. You’re the first one to say, I’ll go, yeah, I got it right here. No was all right. Be the first one to jump in the lake. Be the first one. Show up early and sit in the front, be ready, step up game’s so others will step up their game. There are some people in this world that are meant for absolute and total exceptional, outstanding excellence, and that is me. Is that you? It’s not enough for me to see it in you because I do see it in certain people. I see it in kids.

28:28 When I meet kids, I will see that there are certain kids that really, really have, they’re so special, they’re so exceptional, and I just, I see it, I recognize it. I can feel it. I can feel that my energy or their energy, I can feel the anointing on them. I can feel the call on their life in that, then I’m immediately just terrified that that light will be smothered and that’s scary to me. This could be our president in 30 years. What are we doing to our kids guys? We’ve got to teach those kids to step up, step up, step up. We’ve got to teach our kids to not hide behind the other kids, to push their way to the front of the line, to not stand for being smothered, to not stand for being muted, to not stand for being covered up being shushed.

29:27 We’ve got to teach our kids that. That’s not okay. We got to teach our kids this and you guys gotta learn that too. Maybe you have been smothered for a long time, decades, years, decades. Well, I don’t care how old you are listening to this right now. You can start right now and I’m not suggesting that you’d be a jerk to the other drivers and you guys all come to a four way. Look, we have rules and laws. The guy that on your right always goes first. If everybody arrives to a, if two people arrive to a four-way, if two people arrived to a four way at the same time, the driver to the right has the right away. I’m saying that I know. I know. I’m not saying you’d gone it. If you’re approaching around about the driver in the roundabout has the right away, you have to yield to that driver.

30:13 Okay, I get that. You guys know what I’m talking about here because I’m speaking to somebody right now. Deep into your heart and the days of being muted are over. Be the first set the standard of what you expect and if you are constantly hanging around a bunch of lowlifes that are dragging you down, you need to get out of that group. That’s the wrong group that you need to be hanging around. They say if you’re the smartest person in the group, get a different group. Yeah. If the people you’re hanging around are smoking and drinking and committing crimes and sleeping around being stupid, you need to find a different group. People that have better standards because you can find a better friend that has the same standards as you kids. Are you listening to me right now? If your friend is always being stupid and dressing like provocatively, does everybody know it?

31:09 Perfect. Kids do you know a provocatively sounds like means provocatively if your friends for the kids that the younger viewers that or listen to me dresses where they reveal body parts and it makes you uncomfortable and it gets a lot of attention. That’s not good for a child. Okay. Short shorts. You know things with a lot of exposed skin and I know I’m going to get my hate mail over this. I don’t care. We need some kids to start showing some modesty. Okay, kids, are you listening to me? If your friend is always trying to get you to wear shorter shorts or shorter skirts or show more skin or a little more makeup and you’re too young or you’re going against maybe your mom and dad’s said you’re too young for makeup and you get to school and you put it on Baloney, you need to get a different friend.

31:55 That’s bull crap. Okay? Knock that crap off and start acting like the excellent person that you really are. That’s bull crap. We don’t do that. And if you’re an adult or you’re an older adult, listen to me right now and you’re laughing because I just made the reference to the kids. What are you doing? Huh? Are you blending in? The day is over. Did time is over for blending in guys, you be the first to go. You set the standard. Do you understand me? That is so important that you get this as early as you can, and if years and decades have gone by and you’ve just been this wilting flower, well, it’s a new freaking day. All right, let’s go. My rebels, we do not stick our head in the sand and act like it ain’t happening, okay? We tackle these problems head on, and that’s what we do in a 10 pound take down challenge.

32:45 We tackle these problems everyday. We root out the sugar addiction, we root out your drinking problem. We root out the fact that you’re eating because you’re bored or if you have anxiety, we root out the mindless eating and mindlessly shoving crap in our mouth. We root out the fact that you’re not taking your health seriously and you’re running stupidly high a1c and you’re running too highblood on sugars and you’ve got problems because your health and you’re on $1,200 a month of medication. We get to the root of that problem, those problems, those issues we call you out on it. Now on the challenge, boom, we tackle this head on. We face these problems head on because they nobody else doing it. You know why? Because our society wants you to stay sick and fat, to sell you another product to keep you buying the pills, to keep you buying the memberships that keep you buying the processed food that’s delivered to your door to keep you addicted and Code Red steps up and we say no more.

33:48 We’re done with that. You don’t have to be a slave to the industry because the industry wants to sell you more food. You see what they’re doing? We get to the root of the problem. We get you freed from that horrible, horrible prison. I believe that industry wants to keep you addicted and I believe that Code Red is the answer to the freedom. Guys, I want you to step up. I want you to go first and I want you to set the level of excellence. I want everybody watching this right now to try something today that they can do that is out of your comfort zone, perhaps that is causing you to step up. Try it. Do something to raise the bar on yourself and the people around you. All right good to talk to all of you, man. I love this. Good to talk to all of you guys.
