Sharts, Social Media, And Showing Up No Matter What

This week in the Lab was packed with raw, genuine conversations and plenty of shenanigans. Whether we were diving into social media fakery, unpacking life’s daily grind, or discussing sharts (yes, really), one thing was clear: we keep it unfiltered and unapologetic.

Get ready to relive the best moments—from Keith channeling his inner cartoon character to Jon dropping wisdom about living at full throttle. We’ve got life lessons, fitness tips, and some serious food for thought (and laughs) coming your way.

Let’s get at it.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE MORNING LOOP

Alpha, Beta… Wait, What?

Monday kicked off with Keith throwing out the usual alpha and beta male labels and diving into neo-traditionalists, egalitarians, and progressives. While Keith broke down masculinity, Jon and Marty kept it real with a good ol' “stop putting men in boxes” rant. The conversation circled back to this simple truth: just be a good man and handle your business!

Mic Check, Ego Check, and F**k Perfection

Tuesday started with Jon forgetting to unmute, setting off some hilarious tech chaos. But once things got rolling, Keith threw down a challenge: “Do you wake up for yourself or someone else?”

For the Morning Loop Reloaded segment, the team dove into a hilarious but eye-opening discussion about bedroom expectations. The big question: how long does sex really last?

Spoiler: it’s not the hours some people brag about.

After surveying 500 couples around the world, the verdict is in. Jon and Marty had a field day with this, poking fun at common myths, but Kristina kept it real, reminding everyone that this study, created by men, was only measured from men’s perspectives. It’s a limited view of what sex actually entails. Jon also dropped some serious insight, emphasizing that men should focus on their partner’s pleasure to make sure no one is left shortchanged.

Cartoon Chaos & Practice Power

Wednesday’s show kicked off with Keith channeling his inner cartoon character while battling tech issues—proving that life’s all about showing up, not perfection. Rich dropped some wisdom about handling stress through journaling, while Jon reminded us, “Diamonds are made under pressure.”

The takeaway? Embrace the grind, trust the process, and keep showing up!

Seven Phrases to Change Your Life

Keith and the crew dove into the art of deescalating arguments using seven key phrases. From “Help me understand” to “Thank you for being willing to talk,” these simple phrases can turn any confrontation into a constructive conversation.

Jon had everyone cracking up when he said, “I don’t want to be right; I want to be happy!” Sometimes, it's better to let go of the need to win and focus on connection!

Fake Followers, Sharts, and the Real Grind

Keith, Jon, and Marty tore into social media fakery, calling out those perfect highlight reels. Jon’s advice? “Stop comparing your every day to someone’s highlight reel—focus on the habits, not the yachts in Ibiza!”

Then things took a hilarious turn when Keith brought up sharts (yep, sharts).

From Jon’s breakdown on “deep cheeks” saving your underwear to Marty confessing alcohol-induced sharts, the team was in stitches. The takeaway? Keep your gut in check, stay hydrated, and maybe skip the burrito before leg day!

Life at Full Throttle

How long can we really live? Scientists say 115 years, but Jon wasn’t having it.

“If you live with the throttle down, you won’t end up in idle mode,” he said, bringing the energy up a notch.

The banter was on fire, with Marty agreeing that living long is great—but only if you can still enjoy it. And, of course,
