How you feel right now? Pretty horrible. Oh, no.

So, OK, we've got a lot to catch everyone up on. So last week we learned that Aaron got Korona in the way by which he contracted it, which was an exciting story, to say the least.

When we talk to you, pretty much knew you had it, but you didn't really feel bad at all, as I recall, right?

Yeah. A week ago, I guess I didn't really feel bad then. I had a couple excuse me a couple of days and I thought I burned through it and came out on the other end. Well, one day in particular, when I talked to you, it was at an apex, right? You had a crazy headache. You couldn't sleep. You had a fever, sweating. You dropped your friend off at the airport. And then about three hours later, it felt like it broke.

Right.

Right. And then surprise. Surprise. Yeah. I was just trying to convince it's in fact that Carone anymore. And it's just a cold.

So ridiculous. Yeah. What's your motivation for that? I don't know that approach. I'm a seasonal allergies. Yeah. I'm so fucking over it trying to find a different way to cope.

So after it kind of dissipated for a couple of days, when did it start taking a turn again? How many days ago? And what were the symptoms?

Well, last night, honestly, I don't even know what day to day what's going on here. OK, I think it's been 14 fucking days or more than that. And this is like in the house, but chest cold this morning was bad. I couldn't even take a breath without just hacking.

And what was your jaw oximeter saying?

Good Ninety-Six. Oh, good, huh? So, yeah, that was fine.

Well, also some Hannis Reha.

Yeah, honesty is. Oh God. Yeah.

As I recall, that was like your first signal that it was coming back. Yeah.

It was a sad day laying there, you know, little fart and and little, little something, something in the beyond. These again I'm like oh oh oh.

Demoralizing when you're already feeling terrible at any point during the honeys reia were you like well this can't be bad for my weight. Yeah.

What I'm upset about is I haven't done anything, I haven't taken a walk or anything in a week.

Your body's battling this disease. It's probably burning thousands of calories, sweating all day already.

Yeah. You got nice sweat, some honest reha ok.

Purging pounds every every hour. Oh maybe I've hit 270.

I did not realize that you wouldn't even be excited if you had to know what you would like.

Oh cool.

Yeah. Like I bet a billion dollars in your bank account right now. You just like I don't fucking care. I just want to go outside and walk around.

I feel like I'm going to die. Can you smell and taste.

Yeah I can taste. I never could smell like so. Yeah. Miserable.

I wish I was, I was trying to get my mood better.

I've been thinking about it all day like, all right, come on, snap out of it.

And that's been said. I've known, I've been fucking sitting around since I woke up.

How do you try to snap yourself out of it? You shake your head around, do you clap your hands? What do you mean physically?

No, I should try that. I haven't done anything. I think I fell into a fucking horrible depression thinking, oh, oh, oh, boy, there's just there's nothing wrong to do.

Just sit over it.

Yeah, I'm fucking so sick of it.

The only silver lining is you have watched three seasons of The Wire. Is that true? Oh, there we go. Almost done with the fourth. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Well, your eyes are getting a workout.

Uh huh, yeah. I love that show. I try to average like ten hours of it a day.

Sure. You got to have goals, especially when you're depressed, because if you don't, you don't have a to do list.

You can't really see it. It's where it comes the point where I know I should be trying different things and I just I've been so fucking miserable. I'm like, I give up. I just give up. I can't do it. I'm just. As I sit here, watch TV, and then when I'm not watching The Wire, I'm just watching reruns of the same shit I watch for 30 years. It's pretty sad.

Oh, man, I wish there was a way to get you some help, but, you know, be around you and you can't leave. Yeah, no. Normally I'd say like go take an hour long walk, but you can't really do that.

No, not right now. You can walk around your house. I don't have the energy really.

I the energy is gone after small bursts in the morning. Then that's all I got.

Have you put back any veins, you know, just to watch TV maybe in the. Oh, can I do that.

Well, I think desperate times get real pumped up for the wire. Yeah.

And dogs have been shitting around my weight equipment too, like they know I'm not going out.

Yeah. So in the morning, that's the new thing. Well, I'm fucked up their schedule too. I don't wake up in the morning though, so I wake up at noon.

OK, and this shit's in the basement.

Oh yeah.

I don't know how you're soldiering on. It's impressive. Well, and you're in trouble. You're busted from your ex-wife.

So she was like part of your punishment is you're going to have both these dogs that are ten months old and they're fucking insane and they're both huge and they're perverts, both the dogs.

They're really bad perverts. They're brothers and they fuck all day.

Yeah, I felt like I was in Groundhog Day for like a week. At least I watch these fucking dogs, but fuck, I watch every fight, every single night. They bark till 4:00 a.m. they got my door. They shit in the same spot by my weight bed.

Oh, one of these things you have you been telling yourself that this will be over someday or you you must have lost sight of that.

I was telling myself that I certainly deserve it from things I've done in the past. So no. Oh no, no, no. I can't get over it.

It will be done. Adrian's going to buy some board games that we can play on Zoome in the kids.

Oh that's a good idea. So she's been quarantining as well because I saw I had contact with them two weeks ago so they're two weeks is up and nobody got sick. That's. Oh that's good. So she's going to go get some stuff to help ease the pain over here.

Oh yeah. Yeah right. That's very nice. OK, well let's shift gears and take charge.

This week was start off like that.

Oh, this is the times we're living in. Oh I really tried to fucking be positive before we started, but it's hard, you know, that's part of your disease. That's part of your problem. You think that you don't deserve love unless you're in a good time, Charlie, and you deserve all the love right now.

Even more. I wish I could come over there and help you. In fact, I'd get Korona just to help you.

I'd feel those fucking dogs, though, because I was there with one of those dogs. I was like, this is a non-starter for me, this dog.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I really cut off more than I can chew. Yeah. Yeah.

I've been face time with our in a bunch while I was on the road in Texas and every time I'm talking to him, the dogs are leaping in the frame. They're barking, they're running, they're knocking shit over.

I mean it's like having snake to be honest.

I'm impressed. Just snap. Or maybe that's the energy.

The dogs are like, oh, oh, Charlie, how was your week?

I mean, now it sounds like I had a great week. Again, this is this is like a weird therapy you do. Or I was going to say I then I had an extraordinary week. You can breathe and breathe. Went outside every day.

Yeah. Pretty good eating lifting and good feeling better. I finally got on my athletic greens and I feel better about all the shit I'm eating.

You are malnourished even at five thousand calories a day. I just started to feel bad for my body. Yeah, I wasn't getting the right things so I figured OK, all it took was a little athletic greens.

Yeah. Maybe it's mental or who cares.

Placebo is real, right. They say I don't feel bad about the rest of the day.

All the crap I've been eating. Aaron gave me a good delicious meal echoes and peanut butter and of pounding those.

Oh that was an Aaron wreck. Yeah. Oh he wasn't satisfied when I sent him pictures of just egos. He's like, oh, you got to dump half a thing a peanut butter on there. Oh my gosh. So that's going to do you microwave the peanut butter and poured over like syrup.

Yeah. Oh wow. Yeah. No, I said butter and syrup. Charlie took it to the whole different level. You have just butter. Yeah.

You misheard her and it was for the better.

Have you turned into the dark side of the ice cream bucket a little bit more. OK, yeah. OK, we're getting there.

I started noticing from. Your photos that, yeah, the sugar count is going way, way up, it's quadrupled, it seems. Yeah, last week I had a half gallon of ice cream and I just filled the top with as many cookies as would fit all the ice cream in the cookies till they were gone.

Put in the freezer tomorrow, do the same one day, do the same.

What kind of cookies? Massage little ones from Trader Joe's. Oh, the chocolate. Yeah. Oh those are good.

Yeah, they're bite size. Mm hmm. Okay, perfect.

OK, so eating wise, Aaron, this last week you've stayed pretty neutral or you had any more Cheetos right now I would kill for like a pizza or a bucket of fried chicken.

That would be my normal go to. But fucking pizza I've been thinking about all day. I'm like, good lord, I think I need some comfort food, but I'm not doing it all now.

And I have to eat what I've barely I've late night eat. I haven't done the twenty candy bars thing I did last week.

Oh I miss that. Did you miss you Miss Walcott's week.

There was so much stuff happen. The Twenty Candy Bar cheat, the covid, the houseguest, the sleeping with the shirt up, the snoring, the full Zadik platinum package. Yep.

When he was hiding the candy wrappers, Erin and I talked a little bit. Yeah. Yeah.

And he kept going and he was creaking across the floor to get more and he didn't want to hear him hiding the wrappers kind of candies.

My kids Halloween candy. Oh.

So it was all of the Snickers and Reese's that I could get out of two bags, which ended up being like fifteen or twenty seventeen.

Did the girl know about the challenge?

Oh yeah. That's why I was sneaking it. You know, I can come off so weak. All right.

Well, we talked further about the Zadig experience because it ended. And the best part is she said if it were like a Yelp review of a Zadig experience, she would give it a high a lot of stars.

But we were saying that the probably the very perfect Zahedi experience would be that she would go to his funeral at the end of the week. That would be like a brother snoring in the coffin. That may be the real zedi fantasy.

And then you mourn the loss of your Zadik complete heards that he experienced soup to nuts Zeti. We are supported by just egg, this has saved my life. Monica, I have missed eggs so much over the years.

I've missed omelets. I love omelets. I've missed French toast. Tell people what it is. It's a new dishwasher.

It is a egg replacement made from beans, just eggs, scrambles, cooks and tastes just like the eggs you're used to. But it's made from plants. Just egg is protein packed, but with less saturated fat and no cholesterol. And that's a big deal. Knowing how much cholesterol is in eggs. If you have two chicken eggs with breakfast, that's already one hundred twenty four percent of your recommended cholesterol for the day. Now, I mean, a beautifully fluffy omelet the other day with just egg.

It was so tasty. That's awesome. I'm so into it. Now, listen, just egg is a great way to start eating more plant based for your health without sacrificing taste.

It's also better for the planet using 93 percent fewer carbon emissions and ninety eight percent less water than a conventional egg.

We're trying to do better in this category. So this is really helpful. Yes, you can find just egg pretty much anywhere. And most grocery stores, including Whole Foods, Wal-Mart and Kroger and on Amazon Prime now or insta cart, just egg a better egg for you in your family. Thank you. Just egg. It's a great product. And from a company with a great mission. Proud to have you with us.

We are supported by Rivertown Genes.

You can see that it was a bait and switch rivertown genes. I absolutely love them. They're my new favorite genes. These guys created the holy grail of genes. Anybody who works out or exercises at all has trouble finding genes that fit their thighs in there. But Charlie is plagued by this. It's for real. Yeah, he can't even wear pants towards the end of the day. He was really struggling. He was struggling.

And let's face it, nobody wants to be in tight, rigid jeans right now. Rivertown Jeans was created by a couple of guys who started Under Armour, very comfortable. So they know about stretchy scientific fiber type of shit from making world class performance workout clothes and leggings and other gear. They partnered with this old school denim guru in Milan, Italy, to create jeans that look and fit amazing.

But feel like you're wearing a pair of sweats or yoga pants.

Best case at seventy nine bucks a pair. They're less than half the price of some of the so-called designer jeans we've been jamming our stuff into for years. And they make you look frickin amazing. Head over to Rev Townhall.com, DAX, to upgrade your denim game today. That's Rivertown RTV t o when dotcom slash DAX.

OK, so, OK, I haven't cheated. OK, no cheating. OK, well then let's get into some weights, I guess. Last week, Charlie, you announced first. So let's start with you, Aaron. I just remind everyone, last week Aaron was the big winner. He went down six point two pounds from two ninety point six to to eighty four point four. Charlie had a great week.

He gained four point seven pounds, went up to to fifty nine point five. So, again, he's ten point five pounds away and Aaron was fourteen point four pounds away.

We're really getting in close now to our target. So, Aaron, Sunday morning. Yeah, Sunday morning, two eighty two point nine to eighty two point nine, we right that on the board almost in the 70s.

Yeah. How to eighty two point nine.

Yeah, we're really closing in on those 70s.

OK, Charlie, where were you at seventy nine to sixty three point three.

Oh Lord. Wall 63. Oh my God. Wow.

Is this the heaviest you've been turned. This is it. Fuck you record personal best. Yeah. And I feel better this week than last couple of weeks. Oh really good. You're on it.

I've grown into it like your body's acclimating to all the triglycerides and I started lifting heavier.

Oh, I switched up training a little bit and I feel good about the weight.

Now what kind of how did you switch your training to liking it now?

Well, I had been doing more volume stuff, high reps, and then I just like maybe two weeks ago switched over to really heavy stuff.

Oh, like when you do a back squat, that's the forty five pound bar across your shoulders and some weight on the ends. What are you doing now.

So I've been doing like three, fifteen, four sets of five to eight ish and just maybe five sets of that.

Three fifteen. Oh my God. Whereas the last couple of weeks would be like one thirty five for like 20 or so. And how low are you going on that squat. Pretty low as long as I can get. Oh my gosh. All the way down.

What's the most you've ever squatted for. Fifty maybe a year and a half ago.

Oh my. Oh my God.

That would be Monica on Erin's shoulders and on your shoulders. So Aaron on your shoulders and Monica on your shoulders.

Oh my gosh.

Were you concerned about your back or your knees or anything? Do you have a bunch of wraps around your knees?

And Shinsho I think I might have had a belt, but that's about it now. I'd be more than that.

Well, Aaron was three oh six in your one hundred. So for Aaron's two eighty two.

Oh, now. But I'm trying to go for the most impressive, like when he was at his heaviest and you were at your heaviest for one hundred and then so plus forty four pounds. So I guess are so delta on your shoulders.

Monica you on Aaron's shoulders. Aaron on Charlie's shoulder. Oh my God.

I wish it could be done that way up in the Olympics.

That's what they used to eat. This had a whole range of people lined up like one of those and give me one hundred and five pound Turkish guy and give me one hundred and twenty pound.

Oh, would that be wonderful? And like maybe even a little chairs built on a platform.

And then you stood under the platform, huh?

Get everyone situated. Do we have an idea here.

I mean, this could really be part of I guess you need people who are really good at balancing now.

It's like cheerleading a little bit. Yeah. It's very much like cheerleading. And then. So what else is the squats have gone up.

What else am I doing? Heavy bench, heavy incline. It's the same just sets of like five to eight reps. So before I do it, more volume just and how do in my weight to move more weight.

OK, and how does that affect endorphins.

I still do the endorphins every day. So that's kind of my set back really. It's my little cardio.

Keep my heart. Yeah I'm glad. Yeah. So I usually just try to use heavier weights on that. I'm still doing those every day, which feels good to move. And then just adding the heavy piece in.

Any feedback from the clients. Not yet really. Still no feedback. Everyone's just acting like you're still two thirty. Yeah. This is what about the wife and she notices.

Yeah. Yeah. You see like OK. I don't think she likes she doesn't like it.

No I don't think so. Well she probably just wants you to be healthy and it maybe is scared. She hasn't told me that. She hasn't told me that.

Can I ask you some anatomical questions. So when I was doing the When in Rome diet, which was glycogen depletion from Sunday till Thursday and then a Carballo day, I could not get a boner come Wednesday night. And then I would eat like two full boxes of Fruity Pebbles. And then Thursday night I'd be rock hard. I'd have such a raging boner. Have you noticed any increase in your bone strength?

Seems still consistently fine, just consistent.

I don't have any room to cut anything out during the week, I guess, compared to when you were two thirty. Mm.

No, I don't think so. OK, yeah. Are you hornier like.

I think if I looked in the mirror and I saw this big gorilla I'd feel horny like oh I want to fucking maybe I probably already had a tan so much higher.

OK, so I didn't realize you were that horny and this is a great revelation.

Yeah. Well he's asking does your body make you. Oh is what he's asking.

Oh of course. Oh yeah. I will say I have mirrored closet so. If I get up in the middle of the night and it's dark and I go to the bathroom, I love, I could see just a silhouette. Oh, this is a great song. Wow. You can't see anything.

It's just the shadow outline. OK, yeah. Making a little guess.

Do you think like, oh, I want to have sex.

Like when you see that big shadow, do you think if I was in my bed I want to have sex with me. Yes. I'd be like that's what I would think about you, Aaron. If you don't like if you saw this massive hulking beast, would you think like, oh, that creature needs to have sex?

Oh, totally. That's what I would feel like. I'd be so horny if I looked like carefully.

I can't imagine because I make myself horny.

Do and. Right. And I look like me.

That's right. I think I was just asking Monica about this. If you lean towards any auto eroticism I have historically, I guess I'm embarrassed to say it, but it's the truth.

Doesn't seem like you're embarrassed objectively. It's embarrassing.

I wonder. Horny finishes. I wonder I wonder how come I'm not in that category.

Erin, have you ever masturbated and looked at your penis in the mirror while you were masturbating, huh? Yeah. Yeah. No, you haven't. OK, when I was younger, I used to try to look at it in the mirror again.

I am embarrassed to say that it's OK. What do you like about it?

Well, maybe because I'd seen pornos and I'm like, oh, this kind of looks like a porno or something.

I mean, like a handheld mirror where I like to put it on under my asshole though thing. OK, I should only be asking you these questions because clearly we're asking around like ninth and tenth grade. I was like, oh, I'm going to put my finger in my butt in the shower. And it felt terrible.

But I was so horny for the sexiness of me exploring this new thing and it felt bad.

But I was mentally still like, oh man, this is so sexy. Yeah, but that's not the same.

I don't think as far as liking the look of yourself and that getting you horny, only my genitals.

I never like looked at my chest or anything.

And that's what you were asking Charlie about. The finger up the butt thing makes a little more sense because at least that's a sensation and you're trying out and you might like. Right. But it didn't feel good.

But the kinkiness of it is what I think I was aroused by. Oh, I'm getting kinky. I'm taking extra steps to potentially heighten this experience. Right.

That makes more sense to me. But that I'm staring at your genitals, your genitals and getting aroused feels like maybe a little narcissistic, but I don't know.

I don't know. That might not be true. That might not be true. Maybe that's a lot more common than I thought.

Yeah, it does sound narcissistic, especially when you say I'm just saying like, then why then you don't need a partner.

No, you do what you're like for me. What it is, is like let's just say I like the look of my penis and I'm like, this is my one good offering. And like, oh, I have this to offer. It feels kind of sexy.

But if I look like Charlie, if I was just this big lumbering beast, just big coughing, spitting, rude animal, I think I would feel the same way, like, oh, I'm I'm just a wild animal.

I'm dangerous.

I don't know if it makes me more horny, but I do notice I'm larger.

This makes perfect sense that you guys are a team and we're in there and I. That's right. Because you guys can't relate to that area. I would be stroking ourselves sunup to sundown if we look like Charlie and only in front of a mirror.

So, OK, what we learned today, though, is that both contestants have slowed down.

Charlie is only seven away, is fucking crazy. And I had a heavy meal before this.

You did. Of spaghetti. So I had four tomalis.

Oh. Topped with six fried eggs.

Oh. Oh, you could be at 270 right now.

I mean the plate was heavy. Oh baby, you're not in a dark spot. It's getting scary.

But miracles happen for good, for good guys. I sure do.

It's close. I mean what you're under twenty now total for air and total loss.

Oh, Aaron's total loss is pretty good. That's a good. Yeah. Oh yeah. Let's think of it that way. That's a great way to look at it. Yeah. Twenty three point one pounds you've lost. Oh yeah. That's a tremendous amount of weight. Twenty three point one pounds to lose. It's not that long in seven weeks.

Yeah that's good. Seven weeks. So three pounds a week. That's great.

For seven weeks. Quarter of my body weight. Oh my goodness.

When were you this like before Aaron or the last time. I guess this is what I got down to a year ago I think in treatment and.

Treatment and treatment, I spent six weeks there, exercise every day and nothing but healthy eating because there wasn't an option. But yeah, I blew up again after I got out of treatment and had access to all the shit.

All right. How many days out are we from Christmas? Nine. Nine. Yeah, nine days.

Boy, Aaron, second Christmas in a row. Not ideal. You're in treatment last Christmas and now you have Korona this Christmas.

We got to make a pact that Christmas.

Twenty one is really eye candy canes and a trip to the North Pole.

Hopefully by Christmas you'll be in the clear.

Sure. Yeah. Yeah, I hope so. What do you guys think about the beards? This is too much. I know, Dad. She said I look like a man.

I sent a picture of you at the table with your top off to Monica.

I thought you looked cute. Yeah, cute. Like I would have been horny if I were you and saw that picture. You looked like you could tear an oak tree out of the ground or something.

Oh, you did look strong.

Was your original goal on your chest hair looked great.

Well, I think you I was just asking, Adrian, remember you said about this tooth because I can't even get my my fake tooth snapped back in there anymore because the surgery a couple of weeks ago and I told Adrian that you said I wonder if a lawyer has to wait this long to get like there's no possible way.

I said I said I feel like they really treat me like a second class citizen, that there's no way if you were a CEO and you had to post put and they would tell you, yeah, we'll get a tooth up front in four months, that can't be right.

Right. That's crazy.

Yeah. An actor, a lawyer, an airline pilot. If you're your airline pilot, if you don't get out and you smile and you want to when you get out, come out and get the fuck out.

Your surgeon, like you just put the Propofol in and then he comes in, you'll be trying to roll off the Taser.

A surgeon missing like three teeth up front.

Well, I'll go get me a doctor or the full smile. All right. Well, fingers crossed that next week we're dealing with a much healthier.

Oh, yeah. And our thoughts and prayers are with you. Yeah. And I'm honored to be on your team. I'm glad we're shouldering this together. Let's do it, baby. Yeah, we're underdogs. Yes. All right.

But I'll just say that Charlie's in a real in the captured seat because all the holiday Trumans.

Oh, you're coming out and I'm starting to like it. That's the last the last two weeks.

I was like, man, I can't wait to get there so I can cut down.

And now kind of like it might keep going to eighty oh oh. Oh my God. I should like to of this be raced back to three or six.

I think you should try to hit three on six and I'll try to hit thirty.

Oh my God. That's an incredible I don't to go because I'm really swamped. I can't wait to see how wide those shoulders look when you got ten percent body fat. Oh, it's going to be impressive. All right. Well, love you, Aaron. Feel better, love.

All right, Platers.
