"You should watch in this and on launch day congratulations, which is Tuesday the launch of the lefty reset is on Wednesday April first It is April fullstay, but the challenge is real. All right I am not pickleball money tournaments. I do not have six hundred thousand dollars to give but we are We do have a thousand dollars to the winner of whoever can actually Who whoever can lose the greatest percentage of body weight over the 60 days um And I was one of those things where I was like all right. I'm going to Post this out of my of my own pocket until I can hopefully find a sponsor and we'll see if that works Because you know, I'm already making negative money a lot of times in pickleball, but we found a sponsor um, you know, thank you to by the way zane I before I get to for far in this I have been like nervous to even announce the sponsor because I don't know how to pronounce it squares is this shoe company that you use called squares How else would you pronounce that? I don't know. I saw maybe I was like I'm like dyslexic and I thought I said like squares or something like that and I I mean Why can't they just call it squares like a normal you know a normal spelling all these stuff whenever it's like p i k k l or s q a without the u and i z I don't know so squares anyway, how would you let like what let's humor me? Oh, how how else would you pronounce squares just You know like I said I think it's because There's no you and I saw the a and I could never remember like I didn't even take one second to look and see if it was squares or squares And I was like, why would the shoe company be called squares then also why would they spell it this way? Anyway, sq a i r z I think anyway, so they squares Uh, they're they're the title sponsor of the lefty recess So thank you guys that's awesome and thanks dane for the for the connection Yeah, I got you squares is good stuff, man Yeah, people see the square toe box if you have wide feet you got to check them out for sure because it gives your feet Your your dog is a little bit more space to to to run around in the shoe Your your toes don't get all scrunched up the way they do in uh in other ones so um Yeah, I like them great for pickleball lots of lateral stability. They've got these little like I think they call them outriggers or something like that uh on the outside of of the this The shoe in the middle of the shoe I saw that they do they do but anyway I think she's I feel oh, you know go ahead decode go ahead now that you know how to say squares really take the segment No, what I was gonna say is Anytime I like review shoes or talk about pickleball shoes There is like a cult following of people that I think they have an auto-reply bot set When they see a shoe review that says how wide is the toe box? There's two things that people always ask about that are like I don't know if it's bro science real science or whatever Though there's like a cult of people that want a wide toe box and people that want zero drop shoes I have no nothing about the drop on the square shoes But they definitely have a wide toe box are built with a wide toe box So if you're at me on the comments and DMs about shoes that you know Don't have a wide toe backs. These are not it. They have them and so your feet can spread out As you know if you like your toes like this somehow. I don't know if you got plenty of space. So it's cool Yeah, so it's anyway back to the lefty reset real quick here. So um If you want to join, there's still time all right, so you can actually sign up anytime within the first month And submit your initial like weigh in the way it's gonna work is like there's gonna be a code word that you'll find out On Wednesday you take a picture with that word and the scale And then you can win like a thousand bucks, right? And we're gonna have we have that pickleball trainer Who trains Anna bride and Hayden Patrickwin to help with like Died in fitness the whole thing is free the whole goal You know for those of you like yes, I'm doing this for you But most of them doing this for me because as I've said I can't lose weight by myself. I need like accountability. So I created an entire Nationwide global challenge just so that I would be accountable to lose weight Um, anyway, and I thought I'll probably end up winning this too, but I'm not gonna pay myself. So I'll be disqualified, but uh I'm still coming still coming for the top spot anyway. So it starts April first. You guys should sign up nickel the lefty.com Um, we're gonna get the dink to send us out in the newsletter and this is the pressure that they need Just calling it right now If you don't see me on the pod next week is because I've been writing a lot of checks that my you know that I can't cash But I kind of like proton okay But but anyway, no, no, so it's basically and then there's there's gonna be also like um Another grand prize of like a four month one-on-one training with that Diggleball trainer and his group Uh, like I said the people that made muscle mommy Anna Bright made in Patrick win um And that's your line hola. Yeah pause What what what did we just say there? I didn't say anything Yeah, I swear I heard something JB. Let's get a replay of that. I wasn't what he's I'm quoting her. I'm quoting her and her fans uh Yeah, but that's like you know there's certain things that other people can say that you can't Nico Oh, I feel like uh that might be one of them like Anna Bright's about to say that about herself I feel like you're not allowed to say that is about Anna Bright You're probably right you're probably right, but uh here we are. I can't take it back anymore So it is what it is the toothpaste is out of the tube um but If you win best transformation which is basically Based on you know because some people don't have a ton of weight to lose some people are there for overall fitness Like so there's going to be a prize for that and then we got a bunch of different sponsors Uh to also do giveaways every week just for participating so like for me it was like important that Every week I checked in even if I did good or if I did bad it didn't matter I just needed to check in right and so like we got enhanced pickleball We got 11 624 we got forward the pickleball bags So we got a bunch of people that are giving away prizes just for people that show up every week and check in And then at the end of the 60 days you submit your results uh we pick winners. We celebrate You know we lose a ton of weight. We feel good uh and we play better pickleball So it'll be fun. I'm excited. Hopefully this is like the first of many of hopefully eventually also I guess at the point where I don't necessarily always need to transform myself. I can just stick to it um But I'd love to run these more often than not um and Yeah, so we we got a bunch of people already uh it's all hosted like on school and stuff So you got the community if you've done any kind of You know training online with pickleball you might be used to it But um that's what we have and then um you know shout out to zane we haven't you know I probably got to figure out how to to dot the tease and cross the uh not dot the eyes and cross the tease But yeah figure that out Well we're gonna we're gonna also any anybody that um I'm gonna sign up for the challenge can get uh is it two weeks uh of zanes pickleball school the transition Zone yes, sir. Yep. Yep. So we'll have support for different drills and stuff that you can do different lessons within the transition zone So yeah, happy to support the Nico the lefty the reset challenge and I gotta ask you a quick question first"

"Mara-Calth and how are they gonna support in the the the lefty reset challenge like You know, we talked a little bit about you know healthy weight loss Is that something that you can work on with Mara-Calth? It is it is and so it's funny I always mentioned that you know in this challenge. I will absolutely be cheating and if you're not cheating You're not trying hard enough um and Mara-Calth is the way that I cheat but in reality, it's all good things But so here's what happened so I'm I'm trying to figure out and I have to talk with kind of my health team And then the nice thing is I have a health team So I signed up for Mara-Cal and they gave me a bunch of recommendations right and one of them was like oh hey Nico your testosterone is slightly low so great the whole world gets to know you can go got low T right now The kltc's gonna love this one anyway So So like oh yeah, you know this happens with you know people when they're you know 40 or whatever my ages And so I'm still debating. I was like all right. Do we want to have other kids? I don't know if I want to be on testosterone right so um I go different routes and take it other supplements and of course I'm like two days before this lefty reset and I'm like Let me reshap to Peter my Guru my health advisor and say hey is testosterone still on the table right so That is definitely an option so like if you have low T or you you know if you think testosterone will help you Absolutely Mara-Cal can get you there and I messaged him and he immediately responded like within like two minutes and he was like hey Nico Yeah, we just need a physical and and we can you know we can look into the testosterone and I said damn it I already did it and I did and So I went I saw my my actual physician got a physical And once it's ended to Mara-Cal and I never actually sent it to them. I don't know why Like so I forgot so now if I want to do it the only downside is I actually have to go back to my physician and and ask for a physical again Because I can't just go 100% of the way but the moral of the story is if you want to win a health challenge and you want to get in the best shape of your life and you actually want like all of the resources Testosterone being one of them and like I said it's doesn't have to be for everybody But just because you're getting like I think there's like this stigma around something like a testosterone or some of the Things that can actually benefit your life like oh hey, you shouldn't eat this because you should naturally be able to do everything But it's not the case So there's a ton of people that have a ton of different Circumstances based on genetic factors You know their blood etc that they can really benefit from you know kind of like almost like leveling the playing field And so while zane is mr. Hightie in the 700s, you know what I mean like if you can tell he's the most manly man I've ever seen And then there's me, you know who while I look like a brick shithouse, you know football player like maybe not right now I get to level the playing field and I could possibly be as strong and as masculine as zane And completely dominate the challenge So There we go. So is that the punchline of this ad if you want to be as strong and as manly as zane Try maric health. I feel like we got to redo that if that's the case. They're probably gonna fire us after this one I know but anyway, I love the team. I love Peter. I love the fact that The supplements to help the guidance I need is there and when my life changes and I want You know to pick other things back up or try things or or why not we can Hop on the call and figure it out and if you want the same experience that I've had you just go to maric health calm And you can get 10% off the guided optimization with the code dink and that's ma r e k health calm 10% off with code the dink so we had one of the coolest events"
