Today we’re cooking Lean Beef Patty’s ultimate cheat meal, but first, gotta get a pump on. Let’s go. Come on. I’m dogging you, Patty. Lightweight. I’m dogging you. What’s up, everybody? We are here at Zoo Culture in Encino with none other than Lean Beef Patty. She is going to run me through a workout today, so we can work up an appetite for the cheat meal later. Patty, what do we got going on? We’re gonna do my push day, so chest, triceps, and shoulders. I hate that. I did specifically ask her no leg day stuff. That was in the official contract, and thank you so much for abiding by that. You’re welcome. Contractually. How many days are you in the gym working out? Uh, usually like five, maybe six. How many hours each time? Like, how much of a full time job is working out for you? I mean, I try to keep it under two, because once I go over two hours, I just start getting annoyed. Because I’m like, I want to leave this location. And I found if you said, If you’ve been staying in a gym for over two hours, a real estate agent will come up to you and try and sell you a home. I don’t know if you’ve dealt with that. You know, in LA It is not that uncommon. I have a really lovely starter home in Studio City, 900 square feet. We’ll go visit it. Should we leave here and just go visit it? It’s so good. Oh my god, the terrace, you’ll absolutely love it. Come on, guys, let’s go. Alright, starting with the warm up. Casual, 5, 10 minute, you know, nice pace, just to get a little warm. You’re already a little warm from the intro. Mm hmm, correct. But we’re gonna go through the motions anyway, so. There are several people without their shirts on. In most places of business, if you did that, You’d be asked to leave. I’ve been thrown out of an olive garden before. Oh. But here it seems very normal. Freedom to the people, I guess, than at Olive Garden. Freedom to the neeple, I say. Exactly, exactly. The nip, it’s zoo culture. Uh, so what are you doing on the treadmills? Getting the heart rate up? Yeah, just getting the heart rate up, getting the body. Warm just like the blood flowing so you’re not quite as stiff. Letting the pre workout course through your veins. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. So next step is we’re going to continue our warm up. Not quite the workout yet with some mobility since we’re doing upper body. I’m gonna do some shoulder mobility. Hypothetically, what would you say to somebody who skipped mobility for roughly 12 to 15 years of their life. It’s never too late to start. That’s what I’d say said. This is like pretty simple. We’re gonna do some… Trying like pin that elbow to the hip and just internally rotate. I mean, the rotating doesn’t need to be like right here on the body. Some people will put a shirt or like a little towel there. Yeah, I don’t. I heard someone talking recently about the fact that after you turn 30, you will almost never sprint in your life. And I thought about that. The last time I tried to like, sprint sprint, I tore my hamstring before a 12 hour catering shift. The last time I tried to sprint, I was like thinking, I should know how to run faster in case I get attacked. And then as I was practicing, I realized how slow I went. And I was like, I’m doomed. Did you ever practice attacker? What, like attacking back? Yeah, like did you like hire someone on Craigslist to chase you? Oh, that’s a good idea. Patty, you mentioned today’s a push day for you. Can you tell the people what that means? Normally it means you’re doing push exercises. I associate that with upper body only. Chest press, like bench, is a push. Shoulder press is a push. But there’s also other exercises that other people might be like, Oh, that’s not a push. It falls under the umbrella for me. What’s your goal on this? Like, what are you trying to think about? Squeezing, like hugging. Hugging. The best hug you could possibly imagine. This is like, The hug expert exercise. Come here! Exactly. I love that. And this is just the, the warm up. So I like to do a warm up set just to feel the exercise. And then get into the working set. How do you feel about grunting at a kid in a gym? Um, I don’t mind when other people do it. And if I’m working h. rd enough, I will also do it sometimes. I found that when there’s a break in the song, is when I really understand how much I grunt. And it’s not cute. It’ll literally, it sounds like, uh, when Voldemort’s, like, dying. If I’m doing anything wrong, just yell at me. I respond to negative, uh, reinforcements. Oh, do you? Yeah, big time. Okay. How many reps are we going for? Oh, God. Um, I chose a weight that’s lighter than what I usually do, just because I figured we might have a chit chat. Yeah, same. So, maybe like between 10 and 15. Okay, what about like 7, though? Yeah, get what you can get. It’s a lucky number. That’s true, but so is 8. Push the button more. I got 8 for you, coach. I’m sorry for failing Algebra 2. The real thing I had to apologize for to my champion football coach. Oh, God. Guys, yeah, but, but, in, in post, just try and make it say 60. Yeah, we, it’s, I’ll do the 50s and it’ll just, it’ll be a quick jump. You know, We’re in the posing room. Dog. Let’s hit some looksie. Okay. We are in the posing room and it is looksie time. No. Taylor’s laughing. That’s not a good sign. Patty. We’ve pushed. We pulled, we’ve mobiled. We did it all. You ready to go eat? I’m ready. Let’s do it. Yeah! Okay. Patty, we’ve sweated out in the gym, we’re back in the mythical kitchen. You ready? I’m so ready. Bring out the cheat meal. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. So starting, Patty, we got the nice thick cut pizza with extra toppings right here. We have a little bit of speck that is almost like a German form of bacon. We have jalapenos. We got olives, got some mushrooms on there, a little bit of sausage, uh, almost kind of like Detroit Nona style with a thick crust. We have a steak sandwich with cooked onions, mushrooms, and eggplant, a little bit of dressed arugula, red wine vin on there. Then we have the churro waffles. We made some waffles and then dusted it with powdered sugar, a little bit of whipped cream, fresh vanilla bean on top, and then an ice cream cake. We can start where you want to. This is your ideal cheat meal. This all looks. Amazing. Uh, please dig in. I’ll follow you. I’m gonna start with some pizza. Hell yeah. Oh my god I heard the culinary team literally gasp when we did that. That’s a good sign. It’s gonna be so hot How strict are you with your diet? Cause they say that abs are made in the kitchen. Do you agree with that statement? I’d say more so eat and vibe. Mhmm. But I don’t indulge in something an experience like this all that often. It’s more like, um, portion sizing for me. I’ve heard some people sort of rail against the idea of a cheat meal, where like, there’s no such thing as a cheat meal, it’s just, you know, You look at your, your calorie intake, your macro intake for a week, and it all just sort of has to balance out and you have to do something sustainable for you. Then there’s some people that are like, no, once a week, it’s like the purge. I personally like the like balance throughout vibe. But, uh, so I kind of preach more or less. Um, like moderation and intuitive eating, more or less, but I do know some people that just like doesn’t work for them. Yep. Who am I to say, don’t do that if that’s what you want to do? You know? No rules, just right. Do you ever let food cause yourself anxiety? Because that’s been a thing that I think any gym person can relate to where you want to eat healthy, but then you have this sort of like guilt from eating something like this. Do you ever let that happen? Or do you have any way to stop that? Personally right now that doesn’t happen for me. I don’t experience those anxieties, but I used to a lot. Is this before you started making content or even after it? It was while I was still working out and stuff, but pre LeanBeef Patty. Back when I was just, you know, Regular Patty last name redacted. Yes. You’re the only person I’ve ever heard say that their anxiety got lower after making content. Well, not quite that not that my anxiety got lower, but my food anxiety didn’t change. Yeah, it already peaked and now we’re just kind of coasting. Can I cut you some wobble, please? I actually love having the little dessert and the other meal together, because I like going back and forth. Would you describe yourself as a foodie? Like was food ever something that was like really important to you? Or you like indulging in different foods? I don’t think that I would describe myself as a foodie. But maybe because I’m not the best chef? I don’t know. Or maybe if I were a better chef it would become a job, you know? I know a good place you can get cooking lessons. It’s called Le Cordon Bleu, it’s in Paris, it’s where Julia Child trained! You can learn how to make Oeuf en Cocotte! No, for real, come back here, uh, learn how to cook anytime. Thank you. No, eat your waffle, shut the hell up. Patty, this is special. Everything that is new was once old. And so I was curious if you’ve seen anything, you know, in the short time that you’ve been creating content, sort of change in the minds of young people and your followers. I feel like, personally, when I started working out, I would go to the gym, and there weren’t very many people under, like, 30, personally, the gym that I went to. Yeah. But now I’ll go, and it’s like, it’s a lot of high schoolers. Granted, I used to go really early, like at 5:36 Yeah, yeah. And now I go at more regular times. Were you one of the high schoolers in the gym? Like, were you a little high school gym rat in a public gym? At 5:30 in the morning, yeah. 5:30 in the morning. One time I was doing the leg press, and at 5:30 in the morning at the gym I went to, there wasn’t that many people there, but it was always the same people. So I kind of knew them, you know, in passing. And I failed the leg press. And it didn’t have safeties. So it just started to crush me. And I was like, oh my gosh, this is it. Like, before school on a Tuesday, I’m about to die. At least you don’t have to go to algebra. Yeah, I did survive and I did have to go, but — Did people have to come and did you just leave? Nobody helped me. You just gutted it out? I like popped out the top. No, I popped out the top. What do you mean you popped out the top? I just popped it at the top. Yeah, I was like, oh, it’s like, just gotta escape right now. Did you like yell for help? Cause I had the same exact thing happen to me when I was in high school. Did you yell? Yeah, I went, can an adult, can an adult please help me? Like I was a three year old lost in Costco. I need an adult. Did they help you? And they did. And then they gave me a speech about how I shouldn’t try and over exaggerate. Extend my limits and always make sure to have safeties on. That’s crazy. Should we eat the sandwich? We should. Dude, I’ve been staring at this sandwich for too long. Whoa. Don’t you want to learn how to do that yourself? Yes and no. I think, I think it’s, it always just tastes better to me when someone else has made it with love. When I spend a long time cooking a dish, when it’s finally done, I resent it. Mm hmm. And I’m worried that it’s a metaphor for I’m going to resent my children. Mmm. I don’t think about the children, but yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you know, like, form is really important in gym, right? And it’s the same thing with eating. There’s a proper way to eat? A wide base. Wide base of the elbows. Triangulate it. You’re here, sandwich is right. I like that though, it’s like a little mouse. It’s like a little mouse. No, try and slap a sandwich out of my hand in this angle. Can’t do it. I didn’t even want to try fully because I knew. And then mouth gotta fully envelop it, and then you gotta, you gotta hoover it. Get the juices, you gotta — Mmm. You know? Yeah. Is it Lean Beef-Patty, or Lean-Beef Patty? Whatever you want it to be. No, the inflection doesn’t really matter to me. How did you come up with the moniker? I like to think I came up with it myself. I don’t actually remember. I have two friends who, one of them claims they came up with it. It’s just because, like, my name is Patricia, and it was, like, a funny play on words. I don’t remember if I was like that funny. Now that I think about it, probably not. It probably wasn’t me. I think you should own it. I think you should own it. I think you should have that confidence. What is the reason for grinding in the gym to not have the confidence to say, Yes, I came up with that name? So true. You know? I take that back, it was all me. Nobody else, though. Should we get to the ice cream cake? Yes. We don’t really have any plates, but I think we can just cut this in half. And just eat it. There it is. You want a whole half of an ice cream cake? Okay. I’m so sorry. That was rude. That was rude. Holy! Say it to the camera. Look at that. I don’t want to do that. Whoa. I don’t know. With the — Going a little crazy right here, Patty. Patricia, if you will. Uh, jump into the ice cream cake. Whoa, I dropped it. Yeah, yo, eating on the spinning plate is tough. Hold on. It’s now an agility drill. What other indulgences in your life that you allow? Uh, what do you mean? Like, not food. Like, what is your favorite guilty pleasure? Um, I’m not guilty about any of the pleasures. What are your favorite proud pleasures? I like riding bicycles. Hell yeah, where? Outside in nature? But like I don’t want to dox it, but I don’t want to dox my, my bike path. Which, fair. But like, is it to, to get somewhere? Or are you just like, mob around on a bicycle? I just like to mob. How do you define strength? This is like, crazy deep question. Uh, but no, I think so many people, they start going to the gym thinking it’s about physical strength, and then they find out very quickly that that doesn’t mean anything It’s actually about something deeper. What was your something deeper that you started going to the gym for and have you seen that evolve? I mean, I was like an athlete as a child and then I quit that sport. And then I was like, whoa, as a child, I was like, whoa, I suck. Everything about my life sucks and I’m the worst. So then I asked you to quit the sport. Yeah. So that, cause I just like had lost my identity that I had for myself. So then I had to do something else. And, uh, I also had a lot of anxiety. Did you find that immediately when you went into a gym? I imagine your workout sort of evolved, right? And I imagine you’re probably one of those people that gets a great amount of pleasure in actually like programming out your own workouts because there’s that element of control, right? Life is chaos filled with anxiety, but I can write these things down on a page and I can execute them perfectly. And then you feel good about that. My sheets app. The sheets app. But like for real, I think that’s a thing that a lot of gym people. Have in common. Do you think that your identity is now locked up in that? Do you ever fear losing that? Yeah, I think it would be a bummer if I couldn’t do that anymore. I think the closest that from like not being able to do anything at all was I woke up like Last year, I think, and my neck hurt so bad, I couldn’t, I literally couldn’t get out of bed or move for three days. So then I was like, whoa, I gotta go to the hospital after three days. Um, and I went and they didn’t know the answer. So I was like, am I just like, about to die? What was the answer? What the hell happened? Oh, I have no idea! It just got better? Yeah, I mean they just gave me like some muscle relaxers and painkillers and they were like, goodbye. And I was like, okay. Nobody’s gone for the full waffle. experience with ice cream. I’m trying to really mash at it. Do you want me to wait for you? Yes, please. Okay. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I’m trying to do it with my left hand. This is spinning. It’s like an episode of Wipeout. Cheers. I like the competing textures. What? Yes, ma’am. Paddy, as we wind this down How many calories do you think were in this entire meal? Oh my gosh, I’m so bad at math. I’m literally so bad at math. But you’re great at gym. No I’m not. The other day I was benching and I was trying to do 155 and I put all the weights on and I did it and I was like, whoa, this is so heavy. Did the math after it was 165. So I was like, whoa, I suck at math. That’s like, oh, yeah, You suck at math and you’re awesome at benching 165 like geez. But it’s like a whole extra plate. Anyway, I was like, that’s crazy. I did that. I’mma say fifteen hun — uh, wait. Fifteen thousand. Patty, we have calculated the final calorie count to 8,150. Oh, good. Nice. Not so bad. You were super close. You don’t win the prize, but you do get to take home — What was the prize? A car? Whoa, we’re not gonna let you.
