What's up, you guys?

0:29.2

How are you? Hey, it's Ari Shafir. Welcome to Ari Shafir's Skeptic Tank. On this episode, I'll talk to my friend, Tate Fletcher. You guys might remember Tate, or you might not, but you may remember from Season 2 of the Ultimate Fighter on Spike Television, it's a television network. You said the UFC, and now it's struggling for survival.

0:53.2

But Tate was on there for a while, he was trying to be a cage fighter, and then, you know, life moves on, and he decided he didn't want to slur for the rest of his life.

1:04.2

So he went into acting a little bit, and a bunch of other stuff, and he runs a gym, but what he also does, and this is what I was most concerned with, is he's a stuntman. He's an actual legit stuntman.

1:15.2

He's huge, by the way. He's like a monster person. He's a type of person you would be scared of if you saw him fucking your wife, and you came in, you'd almost be like, oh, so sorry to disturb you guys. Margaret, we'll talk about this later, but go ahead and finish up. You guys do whatever you need to. That's how big he is. He's also bald, he has the least tattoos. He's just a big fucking man.

1:38.2

So he's a stuntman, so we just talked about what that was like, you know, all the details and all the ins and outs of it. It was kind of interesting. I don't know about you guys. I've never met a stuntman before in my life.

1:49.2

So, so it was cool. He came over to my apartment, and we talked about shit, and then we went to eat salads, and he told me that humans shouldn't eat grains.

2:00.2

No wheat. He doesn't eat wheat. He doesn't eat, what are the other grains?

2:06.2

Quinoa, couscous. He doesn't eat Israeli couscous. So, pretty much the whole goddamn Whole Foods salad bar that I've been going to every day when I get high. It's the best, by the way. If you go to Whole Foods, not all of them have it, but some of them.

2:22.2

Because if you go to a regular supermarket and go to the salad bar, you get raw, everything, raw lettuce, raw mushrooms, raw tomatoes, onions, all that stuff.

2:32.2

But at Whole Foods, they had that raw salad bar too, and then they put whatever dressing on. But then they also have those sweet salad bar with different flavor tofu and two different kinds of couscous, couscous seem.

2:45.2

And then they have taboulies, a couple of flavors of that. They have these sweet lima beans and garlic. It's just all this sweet. They have kale with this emerald lemon. Wait, what was it?

2:57.2

What was it? Wait. Now they have garlic and kale, which is not as good. But they used to have, fuck, it was sesame. It was like lemon sesame or emerald sesame kale.

3:07.2

Kale is probably, looks like the grossest of all the vegetables. It was so fucking good. My shits came out often and massive. I took the biggest dump I've ever taken. If you check my Twitter account, it's at RAshafear.

3:20.2

You will see a picture of a dump I took that was so monstrous that not only did it clear the level of water, it pretty much, like as it was shitting more and more, it just continued up until there was just no,

3:35.2

there was no change. It was just straight from my ass into the pile of shit. Like it was all together. It was like a silo had opened up and started pouring grain out.

3:47.2

Like the end of witness, you guys remember that where Harrison Ford had to pretend like he was homage for a while to protect some kid who witnessed a murder.

3:54.2

Anyway, at the end, the silo opened up and fucking buried somebody. But the silo didn't empty completely, but by the time, because by the time the pile moved high enough, it went into the area of the silo, so it just stopped up the rest of the grain from coming out.

4:11.2

That's what my dump was like. It was so massive that I dumped to the asshole level. Not quite that far.

4:19.2

But I'm telling you, it's so fucking good. But Tate told me that I can't eat any of these goddamn grains anymore. They're bad for me. Humans aren't supposed to eat grains. Look, here's a deal. If you help somebody with your, because he got my head about it, if you help somebody try to become better, like working out or dieting or anything like that, don't concentrate on the shit they're not doing.

4:38.2

Give them a kudos and an out of boy for the shit they are doing. Okay, it's like people like, oh, you know, I work, I run every day now for an hour a day.

4:47.2

Instead of going like, oh, that's awesome, man, because you're a fat fuck. So that's awesome that you run for an hour a day now. Instead, what everybody else does is they go, oh, yeah, we're running. It's the only cardio you got to lift weights, you got to mix that with like a cross train and PDX 90 it.
