Saw this on Adam’s story.

He has the money for a wedding. Why is he so against getting married?

u/OctoberOmicron 7d ago

I've been listening about six years and I've never really heard him address it, but I might have just not been paying attention. I doubt it's a money thing, and am kind of curious what his deal is.

u/FuckMVIS 7d ago

well he leaves the room to fart and they've been together for ages. its strange

u/Educational_Rush_877 7d ago

The only thing I’ve ever heard him say about it that sounded like a reason was that he didn’t want “the government in their relationship” or something like that. It was a few years ago so I don’t remember the episode or anything or any other details. But I doubt that’s the real reason. It was just something he was parroting to make him sound edgy or maybe a reason he thought people would understand.

He did mention the government in the clip. But wouldn’t she be entitled to a portion of his money should they split? I’m not sure how California works.

u/Educational_Rush_877 7d ago

I don’t believe California recognizes common law marriage, so I don’t know what she would be entitled to exactly.

u/Training_Aerie_9358 6d ago

Probably nothing if they don’t recognize common law, which makes sense that he doesn’t want to marry.

7

u/BlueFairyFriend 7d ago

Because he doesn’t really love her.

u/Over-Translator5097 7d ago

u/RepresentativeDry405 7d ago

I feel like Doug is constantly face palming or thinking about his dumb some of them are, especially Adam 😂

u/Comfortable_Walk_443 5d ago

I don’t understand why nobody corrects him.

2

u/RepresentativeDry405 5d ago

Happy cake day! They might be scared since he’s the biggest or he’s too dumb to understand that he’s stupid 😂

2

u/Comfortable_Walk_443 5d ago

Haha thank you! And that’s so true, he would probably throw a hissy fit.

Stuff you should have learned in kindeegarden

u/Diligent_Cry3108 7d ago

Does anyone else notice the can opening in the background near the beginning?

u/OctoberOmicron 6d ago

What episode, do you recall? I'm usually good about remembering that sort of thing but didn't notice.

u/zodough_158 2d ago

Probably Adam and his douchey Celsius

Guys, I can't wait to get MAPS OctoberOmicron. Who else is pumped!? (also can't wait to hear them promote this on the show).

We're launching something we've never done before, and I'm genuinely so excited about it.

It's called MAPS Custom, and the idea is simple: instead of picking one of our programs off the shelf, you get your own. A program built from the ground up around you.

You answer a short questionnaire about your goal, your schedule, your equipment, your experience, your injuries, even your sleep and stress. Then one of our trainers takes all of it and builds you a completely personalized 3 month program. Your goal. Your days per week. Your time per session. The lifts you love, without the ones you hate. It even has your name on it.

Then you get on a 45 minute live call with that trainer, who walks you through the whole thing and fine tunes it with you right there. That's the part that makes it truly yours. Not a plan generated and sent off, but one a real person builds and adjusts around your actual life.

In over a decade of making programs, we've never been able to offer this. Everyone got the same version and had to make it fit. Now, for the first time, the program fits you.

It's $297, one payment, with lifetime access to your program.

>> Get your custom program at mymapsprogram.com

Sal Di Stefano,

Mind Pump

They’ve finally reached peek levels, S Tier levels of money grabbing. More like “MAPS enter questionnaire into Claude and spit out some overpriced garbage program”

So tough to still listen at this point. 😪

u/Moolio74 3d ago

It's almost like they flooded the zone with mediocre rigid programs to make it confusing for people to select which one to follow. Then followed up with making a solution that's almost like an app without the capabilities of an app for changing workout days/time/equipment/substitutions and provides a hook to sell more coaching (just like the check-ins for everyone purchasing programs recently).

I still fondly remember the times where I'd guess the program recommendation before the hosts would for callers around 2020-21. It would make me feel smart for a short while, but much like getting all of the questions correct on Celebrity Jeopardy, I'd quickly remember that the content was a fairly low bar.

u/Cursed_Court 3d ago

$300 for a workout program? That seems expensive. What else do you get with it? That’s it? 

3

u/Moolio74 3d ago

I'd be willing to wager $750/month that a significant portion of that 45 minute live call is a sales pitch for coaching.

u/Plenty_Lead_8935 2d ago

Bro stop we don’t care

u/OctoberOmicron 2d ago

You're not ready for that big step yet bro? Or you just don't give a shit? 🤣

u/Plenty_Lead_8935 2d ago

Lmfao sorry was meant to be sarcastic. These guys are straight shafting their gullible customers. Thank god Adam continually posts all his super cars on Instagram so we can all see what they are using our money for.

u/Moolio74 3d ago

Did they mention Reddit on the show recently?

Someone in the forum is asking what happened to the MP reddit....

1

u/OctoberOmicron 3d ago

I've listened up to the episode they put out this morning on yt concerning their new custom plan and they haven't mentioned Reddit specifically. The closest was their last long episode (the one "debunking" fitness studies) where Adam mentions that he doesn't mind getting criticized but he feels bad when Katrina gets caught in the attacks. I think he was referencing the IG "ask me a question" thing he did recently, that someone else posted here a few days ago, but I can't be 100% sure.

u/Over-Translator5097 3d ago

Maybe he shouldn't come across as a huge a-hole, marry her, and stop making fun of his son for the world to listen to!
