The Amsterdam Truffle Story

I got to give you another story. Did I ever tell you the story about when I was in Amsterdam? No, this is a great, great place to have a good story. This is a good story. So I was in Amsterdam. And one of the reasons why I love to hold our European seminars in Amsterdam is because the obvious thing you can truffles, right? I can legally go get hallucinogen contained property containing truffles. I can eat them and I can have a good time. So I had just given a seminar and so I was totally done. And I went, I'm going to go to the smart shop. I'm going to buy a box of truffles and I'm going to go see Avengers Endgame when it first came out. And it came out on that Tuesday. And I'm like, I get to see it before any of my friends get to see it. And I get to see it while I'm tripping. This is fantastic. So I go to the theater and it's a Tuesday afternoon. It's like there's nobody in there. It's like me and a couple of the weirdos. I bought a bottle of wine. You could buy a bottle of wine there. I sat down and ate like half a box of truffles and completely forgot that I'd taken them. And then when the movie came on, I didn't even catch the first hour and a half because I was too busy going, whoa, because everything looks so cool. I was like, whoa, why do I feel so weird? And I went, oh, yeah, I took shrooms. Holy shit. And I was so surprised because I'm like, I bought them not having any expectations because the first time I'd ever done them. And I'm like, surely they're legal here. They can't be, they're not going to be that. They're not going to be as powerful as shrooms. And I was, I was fucking wrong. Like I got to one point where I was, I wanted to get some more wine and my wine bottle was on the floor. And I was like, Oh, I don't know if I can even get to it. It's so far away. But that's the first, that's the first half of the story. So towards the end, you know, how long those movies are, we get to a point where I've been holding in this P no one told me that, those truffles are also a diuretic. No one told me this. So I'm holding his PNP and I'm at the point where I'm like, okay, I'm going to pee my pants. I jumped up, but I was so disoriented. I didn't know where the, where the doorway was to get out of the theater to go find the bathroom. So I went through the first door I could, and I found myself in the stairwell like behind the screen. And I'm looking around going, okay, this is not how I got in here. So I was like running down the stairs, couldn't find it. And I busted out of this door into the lobby. And the guy working there looks at me and he's like, what the fuck? I'm like bathroom. He's like, fuck over there. I'm like, cool. I want to take care of that. And, uh, still at this time, I still don't realize that it's the, that this the truffles making me have to pee so bad. So after the movie, I go to the pub next door and I'm like, all right, I'm going to have a beer and I'll just eat the rest of these truffles. Fuck it. Cause I've got this, I've got like a 45 minute walk through what's the big park of Boulder park or the big park in the middle of Amsterdam. I can this nice walk to my hotel and it's really nice sunny day. so I ate them I'm walking through the park I get halfway through the park and realize I gotta pee again like crap and it's coming on real fast and real strong and I'm looking around there's no bathrooms I'm like there's no I'm gonna pee myself this is this is not cool and because it's a sunny day everyone's at the park every and all the kids and you know everybody's having a good time and it's like okay I've got to do something about this so I see this kind of grove of trees where it's like you can't really see into them. I'm like, okay, I'll go and I'll put my backpack down and I'll squat down and I'll pretend like I'm going through my backpack, but I'll pull my wiener at the side of my, at the side of my shorts and I'll just have a quick pee. So I'm in the middle of this. I don't realize that I'm kind of on a incline. So the pee starts coming back towards my feet and I got flip on And then I hear the lady and her kids behind me and I freak out I like I going to be that guy The American guy that ends up in the in the jail for indecent exposure So I ended up falling and I just pissed all over myself So I might as well, I just peed my pants anyways because it just ended up all over me anyways. And then, uh, yeah, then I got up and kind of shook myself off and went back to my hotel room. So yeah, highly recommend always knowing where a bathroom is. and that's a long way to come back to that i love it yeah especially if you're taking things that act as a diuretic and i actually had an app on my phone at one point it was called something like where's the bathrooms so you could open the app and it would tell you where the bathrooms are if they were free if you had to pay for them so that's been quite handy when i'm traveling yeah i i tell you what i don't i don't have i don't have a story and in those sort of substances that is anywhere near as entertaining as that i always i always remember and there's this there's ocean park here in hong kong which is this uh um sort of theme park and it was a little bit away from where we were and i was sitting going wow i didn't realize it was that close and we were just sitting there you know looking at clouds and all this kind of thing and then you know five six hours later come back and go why is it so far away now like this whole island had moved like so much close to me like i almost thought it was like could i swim it if i give it a go could i swim it and then the moment when i wrote that i decided not to swim it was that moment where i think i spoke to you about this on the last show when we're talking about posture and performance and we're talking about stress and how stress affects you know how you know hypertonic a muscle is and i just did this and all of a sudden i was like there's a hole in my side there's a hole in the side of me and it just goes for the first time i hadn't got hypertonic pecs and for the first time my pec moved as it should and i can actually feel like my armpit rather than being like locked in all the time i was like yeah maybe i shouldn't swim in yeah going back to the bathroom thing though i i i generally think that is there is there's no place more peaceful people talk about happy places to go out beach in harley i'm like when i'm when i'm stressed when i'm back to back with like loads of clients loads of work there's nothing better than that five to ten minutes where i can just sit and then no one's around no one can disturb you and i you know there was a reason why I'm on like level three and a half thousand on Candy Crush because there's no Wi-Fi in the bathroom at work but I need to do something just to shut my brain off and it's definitely that's why I think our life advice is good if you want creativity if you want inspiration I get it more in a bathroom than any other place on the planet I'm just I'm just surprised five to ten minutes man I'll be in there easy 15 to 30 minutes I'll sit down I'll pull up my squatty potty and I'll just chill. And that's when I could that's when I start posting the memes. Everyone, everyone that follows you on social media now is just gonna think about that anytime they see your memes now. Yeah, yeah. And I'm quite like that whenever, if you see like five or six memes in a row, I'm taking a shit. That's, that's what's happening. It's probably exactly the same for me. Like, literally client touch points, any client listen this know when I send you a WhatsApp message, like how's your diet going today? You know what's happening? That's an easy time to get check-ins done. Absolutely. Yeah. Maybe not be a loon video, so that'll be a very different experience. No, no. It's good acoustics. What can I say? Why is it echoing? Where are you? Don't worry about it. What was that? Nothing. Nothing. So moving on. Go on. Quickly, quickly. That's the second reason why I say never pass that chance up. It also goes back to that never trust a fart thing because and you'll you'll realize it's the older you get like i would say probably one out of 20 farts ends up being the wrong one to trust and that happens to me at least once a month at least once a month you know and it's never bad it's never like oh god it's kind of like okay i gotta go wipe that out so you know and that'll happen you know the whole gets loose g age i guess yeah and then well and nothing ruins the moment even if it's not that bad if there's a moment where you're going to need to be need confidence that's where it's going to happen you know it's going to happen when you do your first seminar after coping in two years you know i bet that happened on your first one you get up there you're ready to go ready to rock boom literally the worst the worst is when nothing actually it's just kind of wet and then you're standing there you're like and you just feel it and your cheeks are sliding around and there's no real solidity but it's wet you're like i hope that didn't i hope that's not made a wet spot on back of my pants christ i hope today's the day where i go through incline hypers with the guys yeah and it's not it's not like you can reach back there to feel if it's wet because if you do you're going to accidentally push it into the wetness so you just got to trust that it's not there and try to make your way to the bathroom and take care of it i i tell you what i remember i remember vividly the the before the first time you came on the show and you went i just don I don want to talk about lease mode I done it a thousand times And I was like I said right I going to make my mission Anytime I have Luke on this show I going to think of topics outside the box And initially that was like okay let talk posture Let's talk brain stuff. Let's talk what we're talking about today. But it's now just transformed into something completely different in its entirety, right? You know, I think your show with Nick Daniel with the crazy dumb shit was pretty close for this. But we've had no fat. We've had wet farts. I've had the beauties of toilets and magic mushrooms within the first 10 minutes of both of our shows, which is which is either people are going to be raving fans of us for life or they've turned this off right now. You never know what's going to come out of my mouth. So you might as well stick around. And the beauty of this as well, I know with people that follow me and from how well our last episode is, I still think you're number three of all time that a lot of people are going to listen to this one. and this is brilliant when they start with this topic but
