You're listening to The Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey. Today is an in-person interview in the studio here in Austin, Texas, which is the home of barbecue made out of real meat. It's not the home of that fake garbage, industrial, cricket, soy, whatever pea protein nonsense. If you're from Austin and you eat that nonsense, you should go back to California.

Did I say that? Oh, hold on. Are we rolling? Oh, wait. Yeah. Oh, I guess we are. Have you hit your protein goal today? Well, you might, but it's probably not good protein. ButcherBox has made it easier to get good protein for your protein goal. They deliver 100% grass-fed beef and organic chicken and wild-caught seafood and a bunch of other good stuff right to your door. They've already done the research and they made the tough sourcing decisions. So you don't have to go to the store and ask questions that the butcher can't answer anyway. That means all you have to do is decide what's for dinner. Every butcher box is customizable, so you can choose the cuts and the proteins that fit your routine and just what you like to eat. Busy weeknight or friends coming over, you've already got great protein ready to cook. My days are really busy, so it's easy to just throw one of the grass-fed steaks on the grill after I work out. And if you're looking for an easier way to make great meals, give butcher box a try. Go to butcherbox.com/humanupgrade and they'll give you $20 off your first box. Plus you get a choice of free ground beef for life or free chicken thighs or top sirloins in every box for a year and free shipping always. That's butcherbox.com/humanupgrade.

Every week someone asks me, what's the best peptide? There isn't one. Peptides are signals. Different peptides send different instructions to your body. Some affect metabolism, some are for tissue repair, others influence your brain, recovery or aging pathways. The right peptide depends on what you're trying to change and what the research shows. My new peptide guide explains what the major peptides do, where the evidence is strong, and what to know if you're just getting started. Whether you're a peptide veteran or a total newbie, there's something for you. Download it free at daveaspry.com/peptide-guide.

My guest today would probably agree with me, but that's not what we're going to talk about. I'm just getting what I read this thing on Instagram, like Kim said, if you can be polarizing, you'll get more followers. I'm 20,000 followers away from a million followers on Instagram.

Hal Elrod (2:38)

Nice.

Dave Asprey (2:39)

I'm polarizing my ass off right now, guys. If you're not following, I'm almost there.

Hal Elrod (2:44)

What other topics do we talk about today? The gun debate, which we were bringing up, that's one.

Dave Asprey (2:48)

It turns out, I have tested this, it's really easy to hunt an impossible burger. You put it up there and then you just take like marshmallows, vegan marshmallows, and you just throw them a little bit, and dude, you're a hunter.

Hal Elrod (3:03)

You're a hunter.

Dave Asprey (3:04)

Yeah. Was I polarizing enough or do I need to be more judgy?

Hal Elrod (3:09)

Yeah, I think that was weak.

Dave Asprey (3:11)

No, I'm feeling triggered.

Hal Elrod (3:12)

Yeah.

Dave Asprey (3:15)

If you don't recognize his voice, this is Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning, a longtime friend, and he's here to announce that he's launching The Miracle Morning Coffee, isn't that right? That's right.

Hal Elrod (3:28)

I should be, man. I've left, only you know how much money I've left on the table by not launching Miracle Morning Coffee.

Dave Asprey (3:33)

We could partner with Danger Coffee. I'm just saying. If you have a Miracle Morning, you might be dangerous because who knows what you might do? There you go. I'm just teasing because Hal is a devout. But what do you call it?

If like Christian and like, we're religious people, one thing, and then you have Satanist on the other side, you'd be like a Satanist for the coffee religion. So what would that be called?

Hal Elrod (3:53)

I'm so confused by that question. I'm attempting.

Dave Asprey (3:58)

You're hard to trigger, dude. This is pissing me off.

So I would say he's a devout anti-coffee guy because you don't need a coffee when you have a Miracle Morning. And I'm like, screw this.

Hal Elrod (4:08)

I'm actually not. I drink coffee.

Dave Asprey (4:10)

Do you?

Hal Elrod (4:10)

I drink.
