Speaker 2:I'll take the blame for it, but if it does well, I get the blame plus 50% 50% of what I have no idea.
Speaker 1:I haven't been paid for that joke, or very many, or any.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, there's still the weekend, yep, okay, well, yeah, it's nice to be back here yeah, it is nice to be back.
Speaker 1:Um, by the way, before we start, I'm going to do the thing where people say subscribe, just do it, it makes me look good. Um, I don't have to like it.

Speaker 1:Oh, that's nice uh, sandro yocolano boyfriend sherpa um set decorator, yep.
Speaker 2:I don't know if this is us, but love only lives in the wide shot. Interesting, isn't it? Huh, I don't know if that's poetic or not, but in the single it's only my hand touching the middle of the pillow and I think it's the same on yours.
Speaker 1:It's very sad, I'm just reaching for love and not finding any.
Speaker 2:Oh, here we go, it's coughing yeah, um how you feeling I'm good, I feel great uh, we've been eating plant-based.
Speaker 1:I don't know which camera I'm looking at right now, but we've been eating plant-based. I don't want to say being in, because I just, by the way, our guest, who is not on camera yet, but he is on the mic, so you are allowed to interject while we were talking. So feel free to do whatever you want to do over there.
Speaker 3:I always think it's funny when you find out which comics are dating because, like you don't know, today I find out on the podcast. I mean, I kind of figured.
Speaker 1:You didn't know until now.
Speaker 3:Well, no, I'm not like in the mix, like who's fucking who you know what I mean, but you usually find out at like the comedy store holiday party right oh, yeah, yeah or like, uh, somebody's pool party. The two show up and you're like, oh, I didn't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah we don't go to pool parties for sure.
Speaker 2:I like that you don't keep track of who's doing what, but also I aspire to be that least involved in people's lives. That are.
Speaker 1:I don't want to be talked about, Well, not that way anyway.
Speaker 2:But I mean I dig the fact that, like you, don't invest, because when it's comedy it's like you know, it's like uh, sometimes it can feel like when you're around people like you know, comedians it always feel like a bath of small talk, you know like gossip, is full on gossip Gossip and it's kind of I was pretty blown away when I started comedy, like you'd be at a club and there'd just be drama corners and you're going like what the fuck?
Speaker 1:Yeah, like who gives a fuck about it.
Speaker 3:It was like serious, I wouldn't even say high school, I would say junior high, oh my God. And it'd just be like oh hey, dude. Uh, have you wrote a joke today Like fucking, why are you even talking about that? Why are you?
Speaker 1:fighting in front of the ha ha.
Speaker 3:I don't, I don't, I just never. I think, because I started late at 44, that I was like nah, I don't give a fuck about any of that. Totally I give a fuck about getting on stage and being funny somehow.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, and you left all that other shit behind.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And you had some life experience which we'll talk more. I want to talk more about this on camera because, yeah, he's one of those, he's more yeah, he's what I said, his name, god, we have to, let's go home.
Speaker 2:But he's one of those dudes. Our guest is one of those dudes who are like, when you see him, especially early on, he was just going from place to place to place and I'm like man, that dudes. And then it was like a definition of like someone who's grinding, like someone who's just doing it, not grinding like trying to get it going but like just hitting it, hitting the pavement.
Speaker 1:Anyway, we'll talk more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's also in the room, so yeah, we'll talk more when he's here. When he's here, when he's here, oh, here.
Speaker 1:When he's there, you mean yeah, okay, when dating on the show.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we kept it a secret though for a really long time like for I don't even know how many years anybody. It was like a secret.
Speaker 1:Well, at first it was kind of a secret, because I just didn't want the like, I didn't want the drama I don't want the drama. Yeah, um, but then yeah whatever it happens.
Speaker 2:And 12 years later, 12 years later I know I still love you like it's wait how many years?
Speaker 1:12 yeah what? I think it's 11 or 12. I like it's Wait how many years? 12. Yeah what, I think it's 11 or 12.
Speaker 2:I think it's 12. Okay.
Speaker 1:Are you fucking kidding me? No, that's how good we are.
Speaker 3:Wow, yeah, I've only been doing comedy for 15.
Speaker 2:I know that's fucking insane.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's like important, I think honestly I think it's important, especially early on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, don't give a fuck game.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I couldn't believe it, though now, when you say that, I was like wow, I'm really not paying attention maybe you should look up from the ground once in a while.
Speaker 1:It's fucking right in jokes.
Speaker 2:It's always right in joke, yeah um, uh, what is today's topic about? Because it is pretty interesting and I know that we've had a guest on here before.
Speaker 1:That is like a proponent.
Speaker 2:Is that the right?
Speaker 1:word? Yeah, actually we've had, or is it constituent. Go ahead, I don't know, don't do that to me, I don't know. It's a constituent, yeah, proponent, she's a line and it's really.

Speaker 3:Whatever, who won?
Speaker 1:It's so funny, the luckiest people. I'm pretty lucky man. I won a fridge once.

Speaker 3:It's kind of the airstreams competition back in the 50s yeah and they're like square, with like these cool panel windows, oh whoa, and they're beautiful and it's interesting to see it because I'm like, yeah, you know, I could live in one of those I was just gonna say I can see you in a trailer for sure yeah and it's weird because I grew up on the rockford files.
Speaker 3:He lived in a trailer. That's right. Sean penn's house burned down in malibu. He lived in an airstream, but when I was young, trailer parks is where I would go get meth and that's just I got a photo of me in my phone. Leaving a trailer park at like 6, am picking up a sack who's taking a photo of you at 6 am? It's just three of us. I don't know why we took it like proud Back then, not camera phone.
Speaker 3:It was fucking actually hey, get a photo of us picking up this fucking dime bag Like you just had some game, but this guy lived in this trailer park and we would go there, and I heard recently he still lives in there.
Speaker 1:Wow, I'm just surprised that he still lives.
Speaker 3:Oh man, this guy, oh, his health is. Some people you look at, like I do everything to stay healthy and you look at these other people and you go how the fuck.
Speaker 1:is that guy alive, yeah? I mean for real Preservatives, like holding them together somehow.
Speaker 3:It's bizarre. Like you know, I beat diabetes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, talk about that a little bit. Yeah, because you have changed your entire your look, has changed your complexion, your face, your visage, your complexion Before we first met, like you, like kicked sugar, like just. Dude, I remember when you would go and you would just like, and I think I would get some for you, sometimes Like at, sometimes like at the haha, I'd go next door and just go. We just bags of sugar and candy, and I was eating candy too, like I had that little stoner bong shop.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, they sold gummy bears in there. Yeah, and I go in there, that's right, they get the gummy bears yeah, yeah, uh, I was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was like an adult candy junkie, like 44 years old, eating candy, like that was my demon man. And it started. I know, like you know sugar, you start when you're like one. It's like blow you. Hopefully you don't start when you're one, but that's why it's the hardest to quit, because you're doing it your whole life and it's in everything like blow and booze and everything that's not in everything. So when you and I never even Thought of someone that was out of shape or getting diabetes. And then one day, man, I was just Headlining at the Laugh Factory in Vegas and I was only 10 minutes into the set, my hands started getting real fucking clammy and I was sweating and I was like I thought it was a panic attack. So I go, I'll just get through this. I'm headlining, I'm only 10 minutes in, I gotta do another 30, 40 minutes. And then I went up to my room and I was laying there. I was ice cold. My feet started burning whoa and then I went to the hospital and they go.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you got diabetes did they say it like that pretty much. Yeah, what have you been eating, man, your?
Speaker 3:sugars are through the roof. But you know what I was eating like a cyberry bowls and shit. I was eating, thought I was eating healthy.
Speaker 1:Yeah right, oh, that's all sugar, though, yeah right.
Speaker 3:So I'm eating these bowls and smoothies and at night I'm eating candy. And then you know, I always say I don't know anything about my body. I know everything about it, like a 60 harley davidson. But body? You don't know nothing, so I had no idea.
Speaker 2:White rice turns into sugar yep, you know, because we don't get any kind of fucking nutritional training, not in school no none we just get don't eat fat, and then that's it well, in school I ate the worst shit ever.
Speaker 3:You know they had the canteen or the snack bar yo yeah every morning I get one of those hostess pies oh, yeah, I love those with the fake cherries inside. Oh yeah, oh yeah and uh, and then I'd eat a uh, a fucking hop pastrami sandwich for lunch there as a kid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, every day they, every day there, oh my God, we were free.
Speaker 3:We were poor. My fucking mom was poor, we were poor man. So I was on the free, yeah. And then the free government cheese. Everything was just toxic.
Speaker 1:Weren't you living Now? Somebody told us when we Because we just went to Arrow, Not to Arrowhead- To Lake.
Speaker 2:Where did we go?
Speaker 1:that you lived in one of those big mansions up there. Is that true or like? Did somebody, like your parent, worked in there? There's no mansions there.
Speaker 3:My mom worked in the hotel.
Speaker 1:Oh okay, yes, yes, yes, that's what it was. She worked there, oh okay.
Speaker 3:I lived there, I was born there, wow dude, that's awesome. Yeah, yeah. So Nicole, Amy tell you that.
Speaker 1:Yes, she probably did, because we went after she did.
Speaker 2:She's been our Yosemite liaison since we were like, because she's like, no, I've been up there, I'll tell you so it was a blast man we were going to do wilderness camping and then, about three weeks before we went, it was like our first time actually doing something We've never been fucking camping.
Speaker 1:And then we're like, yes, we're going to do that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hotel there. Or those cabins in Curry Village. Those are cool. They got the wood floor, they're kind of they're cloth, they're like a big kind of cabin.
Speaker 1:We went to the Bug Rustic. Have you heard of that one? What one Bug Rustic. It's like a that's outside of the park.
Speaker 3:I only stay in the park, I'm like park snob, because you get there and you think you're in Yosemite and then you got a fucking 30 minute drive. You're like we're not in Yosemite. No, stay in the park. Awani Hotel, yosemite Village Sorry, yosemite Lodge, curry Village these are the places to stay and you got to book them like a couple months out, yeah, but when you do it, it's a whole different experience because you're not in your fucking car that's how it should be right and you're just walking around taking it all in. During covid, I was up there quite a bit. Uh, me and brad wilk from rage against the machine. We went to hike half dome during covid.
Speaker 3:Wow, yeah that's uh um. You got to do that in your life, you know we didn't do half dome.
Speaker 2:You went all the way to the top of half stone or well here's what happened. That thing looks speed man. I've been up there many times, you got the cables.
Speaker 3:Okay, my grandma did it when I was young. She's all, let's go to the top. She took me up there the first time, but we did it and I'm in shape, man. But at the time Brad was due to get like a knee surgery or hip or something and, uh, brad is a serious diabetic. Oh. So we got almost there and he's like I better turn around, man, it's like you know, oh, no sleep.
Speaker 3:I forgot he was because we were staying in, uh, yosemite lodge and it was 103. It was a rare boiling heat wave, no AC in there, so neither of us were sleeping. It was like old days.
Speaker 2:You can't sleep in that. No, you can't, you're just sitting there like this sucks. That's all you keep saying. You're like this sucks and the other guy's like this is terrible.
Speaker 3:We just spent 400 for this fucking room.
Speaker 2:God forbid somebody farts in that heat. Yeah, they're just never going to leave. Just death, fart yeah.
Speaker 3:Anyway, yeah, so that's where I'm from and you know I love it there. And you know I often say like if I didn't do comedy, maybe I would live in there and do something in there.
Speaker 1:It'd be fun to be like a ranger, wouldn't it kind?
Speaker 3:of yeah, yeah, they all look so happy. Well, I think the rangers is an interesting job. My dad was like part time. He was kind of like a utility man up there. He ran the ice rink he delivered the goods to all the stores from the warehouse and then they would rescue people that were stuck in the 70s. You got all these fucking go-climber rock hippies. Yeah, and they would go up there and try to climb and they'd get stuck. Yeah, and they'd have to fucking go get these dudes.
Speaker 3:Man on the side. Did you see that guy, that movie where he climbed El Capitan?
Speaker 2:by hand Remember that.
Speaker 3:Well, there was dudes like that all the time up there. Yeah, famous famous rock climbers. They would go to yosemite and um, it's an interesting place because people say, yeah, when you die, I hope you go to heaven, I go can't be better than where I was born.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean it's there's just no way, we're obsessed now yeah I was.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna ask you like does it ever because you've been there so many times or whatever, it doesn't lose any magic, does it?
Speaker 3:I mean Well, I burned out on it when I was around 17. And I was like I hate it up there, you know. And then I didn't go back till I was about 30.
Speaker 3:And you know, when you go through the tunnel, tunnel you come through and there's half dome and you, I was driving through there and this weirdest fucking giant weight just kind of flew off my shoulders of like life in the city, you know, and I was like, oh yeah, what am I doing, running from this. But you know, when you're young you're like, ah, fuck that you have to find it for yourself.
Speaker 1:That's why I grew up. Yeah, I'm a rebel.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I play rock music san francisco you know, yeah, you're used to like the. You know the, the back and forth, the noise, the sounds, and like now, like I appreciate the calm and like just like just hearing nothing but ironically, the ringing in my ears, but still it's just like yeah, it's it's amazing. I totally take it uh.
Speaker 3:I'm grateful for it yeah it's another level of, like you know, especially you add a little mushrooms in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh we did.
Speaker 3:You're just going like oh yeah yeah, yeah it's it's definitely.
Speaker 3:Uh, it's another. I, you know there's this thing. Somebody asked me recently, you know what, what? What was the question? It was something like what are you afraid of, or something the most afraid of? And I said the couch, because I sit in that fucker and I don't want to get out of it, you know, but I have, so I don't sit in the couch and you know, the point being is, we grind and work so much that at any minute, like if I'm in Yosemite and I stayed too long, it'd be hard to get back.
Speaker 1:Like.
Speaker 3:COVID was really gnarly to get back into the game, cause you were just kind of like wow, that was like eight months, yeah, yeah, at least yeah yeah, so it was. Um, you really start to sit back when you're in yosemite or someplace and you're like well, thank god, I like comedy, because it would be easy for me to tap out if I did some of these that just I hate it and it's like what are you doing? Doing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Two years in. I was riding home with these two comics from some gig out in fucking Lancaster and the whole time they're like I fucking hate this shit, man. And they're looking back at me. I'm two years in. They're like you should get out now, man, fucking. Look at us. This is fucking it ain't gonna happen for you, man, jesus.

And I'm not talking about like going to have a big bowl of pasta at some classic family place you love. Or I'm talking about like people who have like farmed a table killer eggs, killer vegetables. They taste amazing vegetables my whole life because my mom didn't know how to cook. So I'm just eating like. Rest in peace. I'd love her, but she was not a cook.
Speaker 1:You know what I mean canned green beans and whatever. It was just yeah here you go, you know.
Speaker 3:So I ate a lot of cereal it was two things. Cereal it was two things cereal and mac and cheese, the powdered one, oh yeah, and that stuff is amazing, but so toxic it's so toxic.
Speaker 1:It's plastic, it's plastic.
Speaker 3:And I think when you're happy, if you love what you're doing, then you start caring if you're going to live. Before I didn't give a fuck if I lived. It's true, I just didn't give a fuck. Yeah, I'd be like I'll blow booze. Stay up a long time, play rock music.
Speaker 1:never wear earplugs, can't hear now you know ringing in my ears but if you eat like shit, you feel like shit, and so then it's a cycle, and then you just like you don't care.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you, I did this.
Speaker 1:Sandra's feeling. You're feeling a lot different.
Speaker 2:I feel a lot different now that we've like kind of cleaned up the diet a bit and. I'm really enjoying the food, like I really enjoy what I eat, and I don't feel like shit. I don't like gorge on stuff, I feel lighter, yeah and yeah and I'm actually. It's starting to actually help with my digestion a bit now too, so I got some silent reflux which I recently got.
Speaker 3:Um interesting, this is a fucking demon and they say that it's one of the number one diseases in america right now diabetes, acid reflux, oh yeah, and and I had a friend die from acid reflux, whoa, so I'm taking it pretty serious. What happens is it comes up and it burns a hole in your esophagus right and you get esophagus cancer and you're fucking gone my buddy was a billionaire and he owned like 700 properties in san francisco and he would just eat roll aids all day. He just thought he had heartburn all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah roll aids roll away. I mean, he'd eat aids all day.
Speaker 3:He just thought he had heartburn all the time. Yeah, yeah, roll aids, roll away. I mean he'd eat them all day like a fucking people that eat that nicorette gum. Yeah yeah same thing, and then he's dead.
Speaker 2:So roll aids.
Speaker 3:Don't eat roll aids yeah, so like that's a month ago, I usually just go in and get my vocal cords checked like every couple years because I talk like fucking crazy podcasts and comedy. Yeah, so I go in and get my vocal cords checked like every couple years because I talk like fucking crazy podcast and comedy. Yeah, so I go in and get them checked and the guy's like whoa dude, you got, you got acid reflux. And I go no, I don't, I know what that is. Yeah, like if I eat tacos at two in the morning right at fred 62, you're laying down like a hot lava comes up you can't even believe like you get that once and not doing that again.
Speaker 2:Yeah how about people that get that?
Speaker 3:all the time yeah, they live like that like I told somebody and they go oh yeah, I get that like weekly, I'm like and you and you, I mean it is you're laying there like whoa what it is like acid yeah it is acid but, this is silent reflex which I knew nothing about.
Speaker 3:So what's happening is it's just a simmering brew and what happens is it starts fucking blasting your vocal cords and shit and you and this starts making you hoarse. Your vocals are tired and I was like wow, wow, this is fucking crazy. So now I'm totally fucked. I quit blow, I quit sugar, I quit cigarettes, I quit booze, yeah, and now it's all from sparkling water. I was drinking like 10 a day.
Speaker 1:It's from sparkling water, sparkling water and hot sauce. Boom, that's all I drink.
Speaker 2:That's all. I drink Sparkling water, Damn dude.
Speaker 3:Same here. So I'm sitting there going like I'm as healthy as I ever am. I only drink water, yeah, sparkling water, man, and no one tells you, it is more acidic than regular water. Well, what happens is?
Speaker 1:the gases go down there, they blow up and they blow the fucking.
Speaker 3:It's fumes, it blows the shit up sense, yeah, and then I'm throwing hot. I eat hot sauce every day in the morning on my omelets or whatever yeah, yeah and then the third one was coffee. So those are my three demons. So I'm like why even be alive right now? I mean, I can't do nothing.
Speaker 1:Yeah that you felt that way so many times yeah totally.
Speaker 2:I was like I just want to do what I want to do yeah, like yeah, and then it's just kind of frustrating and but I, I mean I guess it starts small. You have to kind of just do a little bit of time until you're you smarten up and you're like no man, I can't do this to myself which I'm feeling.
Speaker 1:You're feeling better, you look better too.
Speaker 2:I feel like I need to omit this stuff as well, like the sparkling stuff yeah, that's.
Speaker 1:I mean, you wouldn't believe how many cases so. So much so that we say we have a bag in the kitchen that we give to the old lady that lives in our apartment because he just is constantly filling it up with the cans. Oh man, it's been less lately.
Speaker 3:I get cases of it's been less lately top yeah and I just put it in the fridge. I just drink it all day and it's just great. I was like this is great. And then you start reading about PFAs that are in these fucking sparkling waters. Oh, because of the bottles.
Speaker 1:Wait, what's PFA?
Speaker 3:Just those permanent chemicals and plastics.
Speaker 1:And shit, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So that's you know, it's like somehow my algorithm got onto this.
Speaker 3:Everything's going to kill you on my Instagram it's constantly like five dudes Are you eating this? You better not, and I'm not like one of those scared guys. But after a while you're like everything is poison, yeah, yeah, everything.
Speaker 2:Well, that brings us to and I want to bring it back to the topic just because I feel that, like all the stuff that is like not even like it's not natural, because natural skincare is today's topic, even on these like sparkling water things, it says water carbonation and essence or it'll say natural flavors, and natural flavors is like yeah, it's like's like an actual brand that they like put in there.
Speaker 2:So it could be whatever, or it could be, like you know, made in Oosa, like those places where it's like you think it's made in the USA. No, it's made in.
Speaker 3:Oosa, yeah, yeah, yeah, oosa.
Speaker 2:It's like such a weird. So you know, and I do feel like doing more natural stuff and eating and knowing what you're eating helps, and especially with skincare.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And that's why, like I even like, do like the natural deodorants and stuff like that, because you never know what you're absorbing through your skin.
Speaker 3:So it's just yeah, and now like whole foods. Fucking uh asshole bought it at Amazon and fucking. Now they're using these sprays onto the fruit to make them stay longer in the store. Look better. Yeah, you know, and that's fucking toxic. So I really don't know. It's like you know they. My mom just passed away last year, 78. And now I'm like, fuck. If I could make it to 78, I'd be happy. And people are always like oh, dude, you're going to live way past that I go. What fucking planet are you living on?
Speaker 1:Are you not seeing?
Speaker 3:that people are just dropping like flies from like everything in our food and air.
Speaker 1:Well, everything you put on your skin goes into your body too 100%.
Speaker 3:Skin is your largest organ.
Speaker 1:So the average woman uses about 12 different personal products daily, and they're exposed to hundreds and hundreds I'm doing my little presentation Hundreds and hundreds of chemicals, and none of them are a lot of them. Most of them are not required to be tested for safety, and it's been 80 years since Congress last passed legislation to regulate the cosmetic industry Yep, and so there's all kinds of shit in there. I have lists of things that you you might want to look for, but just the. The point is is why other, so many other countries are banning. There's 1300 ingredients that other countries have banned, uh, and the us has only banned 11 oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, yeah, I tour with bill burr. Okay, we both fucking. Wherever we're sitting, we're constantly just going. You can fight all you want on the left and the right. To me it's, it's both the same, because they're both taking Corporate bribes and shit and just letting whatever Happens happens, so you can go ahead and go. I'm fucking, I'm a Trumper and the other person I'm a fucking blue. You know, it don't matter. Yeah, it's the same fucking demons. And when you look at Europe and they go none of this is allowed in Europe. You go to Italy. The people, the people that's smoking cigarettes. They're 105, they're still alive. You know, yeah, and it's not conspiracies, this is just real.
Speaker 2:People are just dying way younger now, yep, and it's fucking awful, you know, and I think it's a process stuff that we're putting in too, like we're just whatever it is, we'll do it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's easy yeah, and you know it's only a matter of time it's going to be like four billion cell phone tumors in everybody's heads yeah, yeah, I mean, that's just coming.
Speaker 3:You would think for sure, yeah, but I remember I played music for 25 years before I did comedy. I was doing a record with a famous producer. His name is bill betrell. He did the cheryl crow Crow first two records, Tuesday Night Music Club. He wrote Black or White for Michael Jackson. He produced Jackson's records. Wow, he's a huge, huge dude. We're in the studio and I remember I was. It was hot and I had my shirt on and I put some deodorant on. It was like a, a fucking one, of those ones you wear when you're a kid, like speed stick whatever that was called.
Speaker 3:Remember those, yeah, roll on speed stick musk yeah yeah, they just torch your shirt.
Speaker 1:Yep, turn them fucking yellow yeah, and then it would get hard your shirt Maybe be like, hey, what's up?
Speaker 3:I remember I'd be playing music. Alright, thanks for coming out tonight. It was just a fucking target and it was rock hard. And then you cut your sleeves off.
Speaker 2:That's why everybody was sleeveless In the 80s. It was amazing.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, just deodorant scars, deodorant scars. So he goes this is the first time and this is in the 90s. He goes hey, man, you know, deodorant Causes Alzheimer's.
Speaker 1:It's full of aluminum.
Speaker 3:And I go Nah, you fucking freak. Now I'm the weirdo Because I'm half hippie, but then I hated hippies, right because I grew up new semiti, but then in san francisco it was the fake hippies, the trustafarians that are like dude, I need a miracle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, you know so I'm like I love that word. Yeah, trustafarians.
Speaker 3:It's amazing yeah, so I'm like this, fucking like hippie, but but also I worked. I wasn't a freeloader, yeah, so he told me that in the 90s and you know, and he's like, yeah, look at your shirt, dude. I mean that. You know, you see that Right there, that's going in your Fucking lip nodes, right here.
Speaker 1:These are the most lip nodes ever right here.
Speaker 3:And so then, I never forgot what I did. I went to a natural food store and I bought a crystal you ever seen those. Yes, I bought those too, yeah okay, I rubbed this crystal in my armpits and I go fuck that. Why isn't everybody using this? Amazing. I didn't sweat for like four days. Really, you must have put a lot on. No, what happens is the fifth day. My arms were on fire I was screaming oh the crystals. The way it works is they go into your pores, the crystal, and they block the pores.
Speaker 3:Okay, that's not good for you yeah, so it doesn't let the sweat out. Yeah, so then the sweat was trying to get out of the pores and it was burning and I was like I went to the doctor and he goes oh dude, you got to get rid of that, you got to ride this out, by the way.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got to wait for those crystals to dissolve and throw that thing away. And I never forgot it, man. And then so after that, then I went no deodorant, which is impossible. You just the amount of smells that can come out of your body is unbelievable.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it goes from like. For me it goes from uh onion, yeah to to rotten foot yeah, like, I'm like what how the hell is this possible? Like just sweating. It's unbelievable right.
Speaker 3:And also, how do other people not sweat? I used to call it secondhand ass. You get on a plane right when a guy got up and you sit on the seat and you go like, oh, fuck, and his ass is now in your jeans and you're going to do a club. All weekend you got one set of jeans and it's secondhand ass. Because they're this there, they shit and they don't wipe.
Speaker 3:That's another thing Toilet paper is all fucking toxic. I got a bidet, you know, but people go yeah. Well, on the road there's no bidets, you know, I use these dude wipes. Then I'm like what's in that?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah. Why are they wet all the time? How do they never dry out what is in there?
Speaker 3:bleach on the fucking yeah it's just a. You're just gonna drive yourself crazy. So what I always say is look, if you care enough, just try to do stuff right, and it'll drive you crazy, but eventually you'll find things that work, and that's.
Speaker 1:Over the last 10 years I have found companies and I don't even call them companies because that means toxic I have found families that and people, human beings that have made stuff that blows my mind, you know, and most of it's done in the desert that's the thing is that the smaller companies can do it, but the minute a bigger corporation or a and most of it's done in the desert. That's the thing is that the smaller companies can do it, but the minute a bigger corporation or a company buys it, it's got to be it's like Burt's.
Speaker 1:Exactly Now they're putting filler in it, now they're putting all the kinds of colors and the natural things that they say they're putting in their synthetic shit.
Speaker 2:Everyone gets bought and they turn awful. You get a piece of stockholders and you start putting in the shit ingredients.
Speaker 3:Immediate corner cuts yeah, exactly, and they're like I don't give a fuck about people.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 3:It's pretty wild and these people have kids.
Speaker 1:That's what's crazy, you know you got kids right.
Speaker 3:They're going to die, probably before you, because you look at old people right now. They live to be old. Well, they didn't start eating the poison food till 25 years ago, so they had a good 50 years of non-poison food. Remember when you ate at mcdonald's it was a real burger you know, in the 70s, mcdonald's was fucking great. Now you couldn't pay me to eat there I don't care what it is. Oh, fuck you, it's still good no, it's fucking gross.
Speaker 2:It's not food. They're growing their own food, which means it never. It didn't have four legs, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Like I just think they're just recreating it. So it's just, I like them watching 60 minutes. They go. We've caught them. It's pink swill and the nuggets you go. Okay, well, those will be gone. Nope, this episode is brought to you by mcdonald's and then the people are like I go hey, you know that's like pink swill shit, right man. Okay, they're fucking good. I get the barbecue sauce.
Speaker 2:It's all sugar yeah yeah, I think people think too that, like you're gonna eat all this food and all this junk food and it's gonna be so tasty, and then one day you're just gonna die. No, you're gonna get fat your knees are going to stop working. You're going to be suffering you start like, yeah, it's like you're not going to just die and like, oh, I had a great life. No, I wish you just died you know what I mean.
Speaker 3:Like during covid, I was like if I die from covid, I'm going to be so mad that I quit sugar the last six years.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could have had sugar six more years.
Speaker 3:I just died. But the amazing thing about covid was I got covid really bad the first month when no one knew what it was, in january, and I was like, oh, if I was a diabetic I would have been dead, because it was killing the obese and the diabetics first right and I was like, wow, it's amazing, I quit sugar, I can handle this. I mean, I had in covid insane, like seven days of like oh crazy fever. I couldn't see, you know, I couldn't breathe you can't breathe, you can't smell.
Speaker 1:It's scary.
Speaker 3:I didn't have the first wave where I could smell and taste but. I couldn't fucking breathe. I didn't tell anyone I had it because I didn't want him to come on. You know you tell them they go dude, you're gonna die oh my god, just put that in your head.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, you know, because at the time people were dying. That's true yeah, but you had quit sugar.
Speaker 3:At that point you said yeah, yeah, I'm saying, thank god I did, because I was able to ride through this covid, oh my god can you imagine if you didn't that? That would have been yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean honestly, your organs couldn't have handled that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wow, well, there's a lot of hidden shit and a lot of hidden shit and I have lists and lists and lists of things that you could, that you don't want, and maybe I can put them in the comments, if anybody wants to see the stuff that you don't want in there, um, trying to think, you know like you're going to get skin irritation.
Speaker 1:Obviously there's the long-term you know excuse me, the long-term effects of it. You know that are going inside your body and causing cancer. They're also causing hormonal changes in your body. I mean, that's the really serious shit is a hormone disruption in your body that nobody even really talks about and it just changes how your whole endocrine system works. I just bought new underwear?
Speaker 3:Yeah, because all the underwear is loaded. It changes how your whole endocrine system works. I just bought new underwear. Yeah, because all the underwear is loaded with plastic.
Speaker 2:Right, is it the elastic yeah?
Speaker 3:Well, the polyester.
Speaker 1:You wore diapers with the pins on the side. Yeah, it's all plastic.
Speaker 3:So they're like well, these just destroy your nuts. You know what I mean and everything down there.
Speaker 1:And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that kind of makes sense because you wear them close to your body, sweating all fucking day. So I got 100 cotton.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I'm not going to say the brand, because they didn't give them to me free exactly, yeah, we're not sponsored by underwear anyways, yeah but you know what I mean. It's like clothing. They say yoga pants is the number one worst thing for women because all the plastic in the pants right?
Speaker 1:yeah, it's the.
Speaker 3:I say give the the nobel peace prize to the man who invented yoga pants, because that will stop any men fighting like you know, like two guys arguing a woman walks by in yoga pants.
Speaker 1:Fuck that, I'm fucking cute.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's all good dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh my God, why isn't?
Speaker 3:she wearing clothes Yoga pants is the peacemaker, you just parade.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the peacemaker Done yeah.
Speaker 3:Either president running should wear yoga pants.
Speaker 2:Isn't that life though?
Speaker 1:Isn't that life, though, isn't that life that's the peacemaker that causes cancer.
Speaker 2:I know all that polyester and stuff that gets into your system plus, and this is not to disparage anyone who wears yoga pants or the person who made them, because I, you know, I get it. There's a reprise, but polyester doesn't breathe, so that thing is just gonna stink, that's that's. That's talk about.
Speaker 1:Second, hand, that's Third hand butt Swamp booty.
Speaker 2:Any person I've seen wearing that in the gym is just when they sweat, you know?
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I just wear cotton. Usually I have a bunch of cotton balls.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've been known to of cotton balls. Yeah, my balls. I've been known to wear cotton balls.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know man. Oh my God, like I said, people can watch this and they go look, what can we do? We can't fucking do anything. I get it, you can't. You got to just pick which one you want to die from. Yeah, that's what I tell people Pick what you don't mind dying from, you know, and then just you know get rid of everything else, like if you love to smoke weed, cool, just smoke weed, but change your underwear.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly yeah.
Speaker 3:So pick a demon, yeah, and then change other stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:You don't want to stockpile cancer on cancer, on cancer, no, you gotta pick a lane. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You gotta pick a death lane. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But it's true that you can't omit everything too and like function. So there's certain things you're like all right, I dig this, I'll take my chances, but I don't need this other shit, I don't need to, like you know, pesticides and whatnot you can do some things with skincare, though, and I will say and I want to bring that up is you can look on a website called the EWG.
Speaker 1:And what did we say? Environmental working group. Yeah, right, and so you have to like, you have to get like an affidavit for each one of your ingredients as just as a skincare line to get even on that website, and there's a couple of different ones too. There's also a leaping bunny and then cruelty-free kitty, um, and they they're more geared towards animal testing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But, um, you know, in the vivisection, which is so bad, but, um, those, especially EWG is and it's it's controversial because there will be, you know, dermatologists who are like, oh well, you guys are like, I think you're kind of blanketly saying that this ingredient's not good, but it's proven that a lot of these ingredients are good.
Speaker 3:A big farm is just like. I've been microdosing for five years now. It's the greatest thing that ever fucking happened to me.
Speaker 1:We did it today. Yeah, it's the only way to fly.
Speaker 3:Get off those fucking chemicals slowly. Don't just jump off, because you will kill yourself. I, I'm gonna tell you that right now. But it is amazing how you say this works and then they'll go oh, that's the placebo effect or anything. You know? All those chemicals, they've been around since the fucking 20s right yeah, those chemicals from the 20s Are different than the chemicals now.
Speaker 1:I brought some stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah let's take a look at it.
Speaker 3:I'm very curious to see what's in, so this is a Family out in Joshua Tree and I believe they have a place Now in Echo Park that's just Opening or about to open and they are in Pioneertown.
Speaker 1:It's Zibaiba botanica okay, what is that product?
Speaker 3:this is a natural deodorant what? And it's in glass yeah, I only get my shit in glass, I got mine in cardboard now yeah, yeah, right wow, and I suppose can I yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2:I never had it, but nikki was always oh, oh, wow, that's great. So what you?
Speaker 3:do is you carve a little bit out, you put it in your hand, you go like this and then you put it on your pits. Love it, this shit right here. Game changer.
Speaker 2:I've been using it for four years.
Speaker 1:And they have an.
Speaker 2:Instagram which is X-E-B-A-B-O-T-A-N-I-C-A, botanica.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and they got a website. It smells fantastic.
Speaker 2:It smells like it has that blue tansy in it. Oh yeah, like, almost like a mint.
Speaker 3:They got a small one too for airports.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's perfect.
Speaker 3:And it lasts a really long time. This will last me about six months.
Speaker 1:Oh, whoa and it's like $20.
Speaker 3:That's nothing. Yeah, you only need like a little like about that much and then you just go like this and the glass is not going to the plastic gets the BPAs into anything fatty, yeah, so that's great.
Speaker 1:Alright, so that looks good. I have a feeling that everything you have is going to be well researched and good.
Speaker 3:Now this For face moisture. Now, women and men, the big thing which, by the way, I'm not gay. I am the gayest straight man you're ever going to meet. Bill loves when I say that I am 100% gay. I love everything gay except the dick. So You're 99% Because I except the dick so gay.
Speaker 2:I'm not gay, you're 99%.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because I think the dick is like 1% Right. Yeah, but when I was growing up it was metrosexual.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I mean, but you're moisturized. Yeah, look at these metros, you know.
Speaker 3:Look at these guys. Yeah, it was like they were lumped in with the gays, like it was bad. You know, the gays and the metros were there.
Speaker 1:They take care of themselves.
Speaker 3:And also, I didn't fuck with my skin for years. I just rode a motorcycle with no helmet and just took fucking wind and sand and bugs to the face.
Speaker 2:Again, that's very manly. So that's like you're like no dude, I'm a dude, yeah, fucking yeah, I'm metrosexual I'm fucking right.
Speaker 3:So that's like you're like no dude, I'm a dude, I'm taking the pet. Yeah, you got tar, I'll take it in mouth. But what happened was, once you fucking start when you're on tv or something, you go like oh my god, I look like shit, like the lady's doing extra long on you in the makeup chair. Oh, your skin is real red.
Speaker 1:How do you cover the red?
Speaker 2:yeah, exactly yeah I had one lady go. She was. She was like, she's like it's just gonna take a little longer.
Speaker 1:We just we just have to kind of match it and I'm like, oh, thanks and like and it was like after a night of like, just like pounding ice cream, not even thinking that my eyes would do that, though, like right before you would shoot something, he'd be like oh fuck it, I'm gonna eat a whole pint of ice cream before bed. It was almost like a challenge.
Speaker 2:I was like I'm not gonna get to sleep, I'll be too nervous. And then I got up and I thought that's just how I would. That's how I was yeah, so funny.
Speaker 1:Well, my whole life I've had just red right here and yeah you were very you were a red guy, yeah, when I met you. Yeah, I'm just red because I'm white as fuck, right, and any kind of sun or whatever you know, but anyway, well, also let me make a point that you had a lot of red around here too, and this is a digestive area your stomach, your ascending and descending colon and, because of what you were eating, your guts were probably so inflamed.
Speaker 3:Yeah right.
Speaker 1:You gave yourself rosacea.
Speaker 3:Like the sugar days, yeah, yeah, the sugar days, yeah. So I'm fucking, you know. You look great, my better like.
Speaker 1:but this is a hot thing now is beef tallow tell us about this and when is we thought maybe joe rogan started it or something, because we're trying to figure out where it came from. This big trend came from tallow.
Speaker 3:Now it has to be grass-fed. Yeah, if it's just regular beef tallow, you're taking in whatever toxins that cow cow is eating, or whatever and uh, you know, obviously vegans aren't going to be into this, but tallow is unbelievable for your skin because it it's like natural. It's an animal, so it's like natural stuff that's going into your skin like an animal would have.
Speaker 1:You know what I?
Speaker 3:mean, and this one here is Van Man's and he's in San Diego and here you can smell this one. He makes one that doesn't have a smell.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's very faint. It almost smells earthy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, right right, it's earthy. That's what's good about it.
Speaker 1:You put it on. You're not like. You don't smell like something.
Speaker 3:You're not smelling it all day. Right, yeah, but some people are just getting like tallow at lassins or uh whatever. Uh natural grocery store, yeah, regular beef tallow, and they just rub it on it looks like coconut and this stuff right here immediately got rid of like any dry. I don't have any dry shit on my no, not at all it's smooth. Now I use this once a day.

Speaker 3:When I asked you if you want to do the podcast, you were very specific oh yeah because the thing is is you know, if I can just tell people like where to get it, because I didn't know where to get shit, yeah, so I've done the year.
Speaker 3:Look, eight months off, during covid, I was out in the desert. I was like hanging out with people and guys like, oh, I make shit over here, come on by my house. I'd be like what, this shit is amazing. Yeah, you know. And and you start to find this stuff and you're like, oh well, I just I'll just have this shit in my life absolutely yeah, and it's.
Speaker 3:You'll never not have it in your life. Now, yeah, and you know, you know that and eating clean and trying to, I'll beat this silent reflux. I'll just beat you know. I'm reading a book right now called dropping acid.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love that. Yeah, you got to read this book.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Reflux is basically you know you have your esophagus and then it has like a closing valve, the duodenum or something right there.
Speaker 1:There's a closing valve. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, there's like lobsters that live around the closing valve Microscopic and they eat on the stuff around the valve. Okay, and until you kill those, that valve will kind of stay open and that's how shit's coming up, oh wow. So I'm on this one month super clean, no hot sauce. No, like certain fruits, no, as said, you know any kind of shit you eat like the most blah.
Speaker 1:But once they're dead it closes and you can kind of eat normal again do you feel yourself like as as they're dying, or do you feel a die-off like you would like with yeast? Sometimes it makes you like a little foggy because you've got all like their little dead bodies sort of floating around in you, or have you, have you started doing it?
Speaker 3:I've been doing it for a month okay, you're not gonna to know. You know is the reflex has gone away. I got the tilted bed right now. My bed's on blocks right now. I don't eat three hours before I go to bed.
Speaker 2:I eat three minutes before I go to bed. I gotta stop that.
Speaker 1:I just said it to you last night.
Speaker 3:My demon was I'd eat a big lunch and then I'd go take a nap Before.
Speaker 2:I'd go do comedy.
Speaker 3:So I eat and then I walk back To my house and I lay down for two hours and I don't know it's just coming up Fresh meal, hot sauce tacos.
Speaker 2:You gotta get a bite to eat after the show you hang out. You're bullshitting. Oh yeah, fred 62, I get the breakfast tacos.
Speaker 3:Tabasco.
Speaker 2:This is 2am.
Speaker 1:Tabasco.
Speaker 3:You're not thinking about it, though, until something breaks Right Totally, and that's what happened to me Diabetes.
Speaker 1:You're at that age, though it broke Right, right, fuck yeah. 58. Yeah, at that age, though it broke right, right, fuck, yeah. Yeah, I'm just fucking. I'm about to turn 57 yeah, you can't fuck with anything.
Speaker 3:No, it's very yeah I do a bit right now where I say every year I go to the doctor, now they take something away. You know what?
Speaker 1:I mean, it's just, like what the fuck? No water no, yeah, you don't get any water anymore. You're like what do you mean? No water?
Speaker 3:pretty soon. Soon it's like no air, Can't have air.
Speaker 2:Just go in the corner. Are you breathing through both nostrils? I wouldn't be doing that.
Speaker 1:Go in the corner. It's fucking crazy.
Speaker 3:I'll tell you this, though this is the truest thing there is If you don't wake up as a man in the morning with a boner, your body is broken. Wow, that's a true story.
Speaker 1:they say if you're not healthy, um horny something's wrong with your body, like a circulation issue or just anything, anything like you're something's toxic.
Speaker 2:Okay, lately I've been doing it more and I didn't realize I wasn't doing it before, because you just go so used to everything is and it's because I'm eating cleaner yep and because I'm like, I feel more and I was like oh, okay, exactly like when I quit sugar, it was like, yeah, yeah yeah, sugar's a boner, killer, oh yeah totally sugar and cocaine yeah it's like a great stone's out of service, handle down. That's just gonna say bang like the gun.
Speaker 1:It's true, though, man well, this has been super eye-opening and, um, I just love that you this. The thing about my podcast is because I've been an esthetician for 25 years and I specialize in natural skincare in the sense that I do massage. I don't know everything about everything and I never will, and so I like to learn as I bring people in. If I can teach anything to what you know the people are watching or you great, but more often than not, the people who I'm bringing on are teaching me a lot and that means a lot to me and uh, and I think it will mean a lot to the people who are watching and you're like a, you're a testament to like changing your life. I've seen it.
Speaker 3:I've seen it from start to finish and well, I always tell people you're not going to be able to do it until you fix what your demons are first.
Speaker 3:And that is the hardest thing over anything. Why are you eating like a maniac? Why are you overspending? Are you, you know? Fix that, and then you can figure out. Because you have to do that first, because people always go like, how did you quit sugar? It's impossible. I go yeah, it is. Fuck, yeah, it is. Did you go to therapy? No, I just, I wanted to do comedy more than sugar, yeah, that was it. I was like, well, fuck, I don't want to be, I can't afford 800 for insulin, I gotta find another way. You know.
Speaker 3:And, uh, I read this book and I reset my body. You know, you go full vegan for three months and then you start introducing things into your diet and you check your blood every two hours and you make a map okay, this spiked my blood, don't eat that anymore. This didn't eat it. Cool, this didn't eat it. And then you have a map, basically always like this is what I can eat, that's cool, yeah. And then you learn you know like, don't eat that. And now I can eat anything, just don't. But once a year I have pumpkin pie.
Speaker 1:I have pizza at the Super.
Speaker 3:Bowl, no matter what, just Super Bowl, just yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:And those are like twice a year. And then Thanksgiving I eat pumpkin pie also.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, man, you allow yourself. In those moments they got to seem like, at least for me, like in those moments it's much more worthwhile. It's not something that I'm like right Cause then after you eat, you're eating wherever you're eating, I don't taste the ice cream, I just taste the sugar, and then I'm done and I'm like, oh man, that was well then, it's caused you to spike.
Speaker 3:And then you feel relaxed because you're like in a pit.
Speaker 1:You find the hole like what am I trying to suppress?
Speaker 2:up here.
Speaker 1:Like what am I covering up? Yeah, we all got it, man, it's just America, we're just bombarded by fucking.
Speaker 3:You know, especially now, the most negative energy of social media, I think pre-social media, and that's the addiction. Now I blame the roast culture.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the roast battle.
Speaker 1:I blame the roast battle. You blame Moses. Yeah, a roast battle, I blame roast battle. You blame Moses, not him specifically. I love that dude.
Speaker 2:But I'm saying you know it's the overall, like you know it's the negativity.
Speaker 3:No, I was joking around. They always say you want to find out what people really think of you? Just do a roast, Because they're speaking the truth. Don't ever think they're not.
Speaker 2:Dude, I'm in the audience. I don't need to like just showed up to support you, yeah. Yeah, there is a lot of like negativity too, but I think that, like dude, you're a very you're. I consider you like a manly man, and to see someone like yourself just be like, no dude, I'm taking care of myself, because that's ultimately what you have. You only have prioritized you and like well why work this hard?
Speaker 1:yeah, if're just going to die, right, you know what I'm saying or not see the fruits of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:You know, I mean all three of us in here have friends that committed suicide or overdosed on fentanyl or drugs in just the last 15 years of my life in this business. So that's just the truth. It is brutal out there. Yeah 7-Eleven pizzas don't help.
Speaker 1:Fucking Joe's opened till 3 and was really taking me out A block from the store.
Speaker 3:And on a windy night, you can smell it. You can smell it and be like fucking joe's they're just piping it down strategically piped yeah, that's good marketing yeah man I'd go over there and the guy you go right at 10 to 2 and they would just go.
