A lot of people have lights on their tables now to light up their face to make them look more pretty.

0:16.6

Really?

0:17.2

Yeah, they have like a slight, like a opening in the table, and then a light that gets on you so you don't see like the shadows in your face so you don't look shitty. Isn't that what you do? Like that a scary story? You put a flashlight under your chin? Yeah, but they're not trying to do that. They try to like balance it out so you look flat. That's crazy, man. You look like what you look like. Yeah, you gotta give up after a while. The weird of shit is men who use filters when they take pictures. That's insane. There's comedian men that use filters. Really? Yes, it's very odd. How do you know? How do you know? Do you know what they really look like? Yeah. Yeah. Duh. And then you see them and they look like a cartoon. Like Netflix does that with their, um, the pictures that they use when they promote your special, like the picture of you, they'll put that bitch through a filter. That makes sense. You look so pretty. Yeah. If people see you after the show, you're like, you look horrible. I didn't know you looked so bad. You look so old. Thanks, man. I am so old. I'm almost 60. Dang. I know, it's crazy. I'm 58. I'm 40. Just turned 40. Those are real numbers. Yeah, I know. I age, as soon as I had kids, I age, like, immediately. You would have thought I literally gave birth.

1:29.5

Yeah, well, it's like, there's lack of sleep. Yeah, that's what got me. Yeah. You know what's really good for that? Creatine. I've been taking it. Yeah, creatine, they say 20 grams a day, start like with five and work your way up to 20 and check to see how your butthole holds up because the

1:45.6

seal might be loose. I've ran this experiment actually. 20 gets my guts going, man. Bro, it does. It does.

1:52.2

I don't do 20 in a dose. I do 10 in the morning and 10 at night. Because I was doing 20 in a dose and

1:58.5

it was just like, everybody out of the pool.

2:19.0

I'm also not convinced diarrhea is bad for you. I swear to God, like not shitting for sure, but diarrhea is just like, let's speed this up. Well, isn't that what, is that consumption? What is the disease where you can't stop having diarrhea? Dysentary. Dysentary, that's it. Yeah. Shit. All right. Well, if you can't stop having it, sure.

2:20.9

Well, that's like you can't digest food.

2:19.0

It just All right. Well, if you can't stop having it, sure. Well, that's like you can't digest food. It just goes right through you and just shit constantly. Yeah. You shit-storff. Yeah. That sucks, actually. Yeah. That sucks. Not good. Once a week, though. That's fine. You know what I used to do? I used to drink kale smoothies in the morning that was the the first thing that I would do. I would throw kale and garlic and like apples and shit in a blender. And that's what I would drink first thing in the morning. Yeah. And boy, that is just like, that clears the pathway. That's like, you know when you clear your rain gutters of leaves? Yeah. You get a hose on that bitch and he's fucking blow him off the top. That's what it's like. Yeah, I've done the green drink before. It does get you. I was vegan for like a month. And that was like the biggest dumps. But I actually got hemorrhoids from being vegan. Oh, because on the toilet. Because it was just that the turds were so big. I was getting like blown out. I got hemorrhoids from being vegan. Was it taking too long to poop?

3:12.2

No. It was just like, it was just spectacular. It was just spectacular. There were massive

3:17.9

bowlwinders. It was like twice a day. I was like, I was like you had an adult entertainer. I was like my

3:24.0

body just gave out that adult entertainer. Well, when you think about it, it's all that fiber that your body doesn't process, but they say that that's what's good for keeping you clean, you know? Yeah. The fiber pushes everything out. I'm back on the fiber train now. I was all about protein now. I'm like, yeah, I need my fiber now.

3:42.5

But it's hard to know who's right because the carnivore people are like, you don't need fiber. There's no need for fiber.

3:49.4

But then there's like, there's evidence that fiber's good for you. Yeah. Isn't that what your whole microbiome needs to, make the germs or whatever that are good for your brain?

3:58.2

I don't know.

3:58.6

I get confused as well, but...

4:00.4

My balance is I eat a lot of kimchi. I really like kimchi. That's a move. I eat that stuff all the time. Kimchi and I eat sourcrow. That stuff's legit. Yeah, I know that stuff supposed to be good for you. But yeah, I tried the carnivore and it was like, the first five days I felt cool.

4:16.2

And then like after, I think I made it to 17 days, I was like, dude, if I just ate in some vegetables with this, I'd be the healthiest guy in the world. Because it was just like, I stopped pooping. Like, I was like, this can't be good for me. Well, you don't poop much because there's no fiber. So when you do poop, it's just boop. Yeah, I remember. I remember this all rabbit pellets. And you're like, where's the rest? But I mean, isn't that a good thing? Doesn't mean your body absorbed all of the food instead of like having all this undigestible stuff go through your digestive tract? This is the argument that the carnivore people. Yeah. I don't want anybody that's a nutritionist right now pulling their hair out. Disinformation! I'm just asking. It's a good, it's a solid question because it's like, yeah, it does food, does the meat get stuck in your body and you need plants to push it out of your butt or will meat come out of your butt just like plants will. Well, that was the thing that they would always say that every man when he dies was a pound of undigested meat in his stomach. Apparently that's not true. Yeah, that was the old thing about John Wayne. Like John Wayne had 50 pounds of beef jerky in his butthole. I've like thought about that since I was a little boy. I've been wondering like how much are they going to find me? Yeah, that's true. So it's not the case. No, John Wayne just had a gut from probably beer. Yeah. You know, beer and pasta and bread. True. And, you know, normal American food. Also, he was, I mean, when was, what was his heyday? Like, 50s, 60s, or 60s, I guess, 60s 70s maybe?
