079: Connor Murphy Broke Tinder

This week we talk about things that make us happy, like chicken wings and girls rating Connor’s Tinder. We get into Brandon’s new and improved sleep schedule, the farthest we have ever traveled for sex, breathing techniques that actually work, and why doing two workouts a day may actually be more beneficial than just one.   Key Takeaways: [:40] Brandon is single, but not on the market. He’s trying to stay away from women like the plague and only loving his friends, family and of course — you guys. [2:40] Mania is lit — until it’s not. Sleep is the most anabolic thing you can do and has such a big impact on how we feel and perform throughout the day. Brandon is now going to bed at 10 p.m. and waking up at 6 a.m., and this new routine is non-negotiable. Better mood plus focused energy equals more gains in life. [12:03] Observe what things make you happy and what makes you stressed. For Brandon, chicken wings put a big smile on his face while being late makes him stress. Just being aware is part of the deal. [14:46] A lot of psychiatric disorders are made worse or triggered by poor sleep. Modern society wants us to hustle all the time and never sleep, but this isn’t sustainable. [19:21] Too bad for Brandon that all these healthy things he is doing to optimize his life are going to make him hornier! [22:10] If you aren’t having luck on Tinder, try switching to Hinge for a while. Super hot chicks, and if you are like Connor there are just too many crazy matches on Tinder to wade through. Brandon isn’t in the market, but still likes to keep it old fashioned with the opener, “Hey ma, what that mouth do?” [33:51] Brandon does two 15-20 minute workouts a day, once as soon as he wakes up and another after work. [38:24] Cool things you can do to optimize the blood flow to your brain: cold showers, Wim Hof Breathing, and brisk walks. [43:12] Along with being back on the cyclical carb circuit, Brandon is trying out herbs and adaptogens like Lion’s Mane and Reishi. [50:16] There’s a reason Steve Jobs wore the same thing every day. When we eat the same thing; wear the same thing, it keeps our cortisol levels low and doesn’t waste any precious time.   Mentioned in This Episode: Connor Murphy Talks YouTube page: @ConnorMurphyTalks Brandon’s YouTube page: @HighLifeWorkOut @KingKeto — Brandon Carter on Instagram @ConnorMurphyOfficial Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams, by Matthew Walker Ph.D. Tinder Hinge Wim Hof Method Breathing
