Mark Zuckerberg on Caffeine and his Morning Routine - Theo Von

Do you drink coffee, man, or no? Nah. Really? Yeah. I mean, you've had it. I have. Sometimes on vacation, I'll drink it recreationally. It's like every once in a while. Just like a celebration? Yeah. Really? Yeah, no. I just hate anything that messes with... I don't like any kind of chemicals or anything like that. Oh, really? So you just like to keep everything... the equilibrium? Yeah. My sister gives me such a hard time about this. She's like, you're just sitting there raw-dogging reality. Wow. It's kind of true. But you've had it before? But you just don't like it? I don't like it. So when you get up in the morning, that's not your thing? Like, is there something you do? No, no, no. Yeah. I mean, I wake up and I fight people. Yeah. No, I mean, I wake up in the morning and are... Are we going, by the way? I mean, we should get this. Yeah, we're going. What's up? All right. Oh, you mean you wake up and do jiu-jitsu, you mean? Oh, yeah. No, I mean, yeah. So I probably wake up like, I don't know, 7, 7.30. Whenever the kids start making noise around the house, it's like, all right, and sleep is done. Yeah. And then it's like, I look at my phone and I'm just like, all these things that these people are doing, I'm like, you did what? Are you ******* kidding me? It's like, I have to go ******* deal with this? Yeah. It's like, this partner... Are you really? God damn it. All right. And then it's like, I compose myself and go fight for two hours, like recenter myself. Then it's like, now I can go deal with this stuff. But no, it's... So that helps. It's almost like your coffee in the morning sometimes, like rolling jiu-jitsu kind of? Yeah. And I mean, right now I'm doing more striking. So, I mean, that's really fun. I just, I think it's like the greatest sport. I mean, it's like neurologically stimulating. It's good cardio, good strength. Oh, yeah. A little bit of a threat, right? So it keeps you on... It's not just like running. I used to run around the neighborhood, but running is not that thrilling. Running compared to jiu-jitsu is for... Running is not really neat once you can do jiu-jitsu. Because I think one cool thing about jiu-jitsu is just like, you can lose a match with somebody, right? You can lose like... Yes, you can. They can submit you, but you'll learn something along the way, right? A lot of times, the guy submitting you also wants to help you learn, too. So it's like you can lose and win at the same time. I think that's what's kind of masterful about it. Yeah, totally. Do you do it? I don't do it as much as I would like to, you know? Yeah. I used to do it a lot. Yeah. No, I never got into striking, but I would just kind of like... But I would just do jiu-jitsu on the mats, you know? Oh, yeah. That's so fun. It's just like fun to do with friends. Oh, yeah. And some guy chokes you so hard. And then you're just like... God, you're like... It's a good day. Yeah. It's a cup of coffee. Yeah. If a big fella just squeezes you until you can't handle it, it's a cup of coffee. Better than caffeine for me. Yeah. I don't know. I'm just not into that stuff. Is there like a vitamin or some staple that you kind of keep in your diet? If it's not caffeine, is there something like... I drink a very large amount of protein. I mean, creatine. Do you count that? I mean, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Vitamin D, like all that stuff. Yeah. Vitamins. Good. But like... Yeah. It's not your thing. No. No, it's never been my thing.
