Speaker 1:No, okay, not this round.
Speaker 2:Time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. With me, as usual is co-host Sherpapa set decorator. By the way, I was thinking first of all, he forgot the orbs this week I forgot the orbs yeah, um, I think every week maybe we'll have you do a little something different and then we can we can talk about why you did that, maybe I don't know, I had that in a dream. Like I was not in a dream, I was like in a dream state. I think I was high.
Speaker 2:You were just boil it down, yeah I was laying in bed, I was high and I was like in a dream state. I think I was high, you were just boil it down.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was laying in bed, I was high and I was like yeah, and then I actually stopped and I said siri, new note set decorator, and I wouldn't have remembered if I hadn't. I have something in my eye you told siri to remember.
Speaker 2:Do you have something in your eye?
Speaker 1:no, I don't remember that, uh, that we would talk about your set decorations yeah, because you're really good at it, but I feel like we're getting a little. You know, I think we could change it up a little bit.
Speaker 2:I'm going to talk to my blanket guy, okay, and see if I can find some other blankets that have this level. I want the same quality of polyester and plastics.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:So I think that would be very wise. But, yeah, I can flip some stuff around. Yeah, sorry, I have. It's okay, you have an eye drop, I have a fake eyelash in my eye, oh my. God, and that's a real problem.
Speaker 1:It's true, it's not a fake problem. I think I'll be okay, though I'll be all right.
Speaker 3:Okay, well, let me know, All right.
Speaker 1:Do you need to take five? No, okay, thank you for offering, though, and that every when I turn my eye a certain way, it will, like just go into my eyeball but. If I'm certain ways like here I'm okay. I don't know, I think I'll be all right, you'll be fine.
Speaker 2:I just that's why I stopped gluing my eyes for the longest time.
Speaker 1:I was like I'm not gonna do that, because what if it?
Speaker 2:goes inside my eye.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you would glue them open for a while yeah, I did. I used to glue them up like this and now, when I can't sleep, I just glue them closed we have, we figure out a way to do stuff. You know, we adapt as human beings and we get it.
Speaker 2:Um, I do want to change stuff on the on the couch go back to that for a second, and what I'll do is how I feel during the week yeah I'll let that dictate what I decide to change oh, I like that, and then we can discuss how you're feeling.
Speaker 1:It'll be therapeutic, exactly because I'll be. I'll go through my therapies I don't feel like we talk enough about your therapy on this show or any show.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean, you know there's like the first like five minutes up here so I really can't delve into too much. And then when I'm on the side couch, you know the guest doesn't want to hear about what I'm going through.
Speaker 1:You don't know that, I do know that.
Speaker 2:No, this guest told me I don't want to hear about what you're going through, and he wrote to me in a text message. He wrote to me in a text message, but he put the whole thing as a hashtag, so I knew that he would go live with it.
Speaker 1:This guest is the last person in the world that would ever tell you anything that he didn't want to hear from you.
Speaker 3:I didn't want to hear it.
Speaker 1:See, oh my God, I'm wrong. You didn't want to hear that. That's such a no and I love it. I'm joking, that's perfect. I had to say, alright, well, I don't have a ton of. Should I take any of these patterns off? Am I good with this, alex, with the hand things? Thematically, you're great yeah, you're good with it. I am the set.
Speaker 2:That's true, I know they're not moraying, are they, the gobos?
Speaker 1:I don't understand anything that. You just said something about an eel, the golden glo, yeah and the moray eels. Yes, I've been at war since I can't even remember I didn't even smoke weed, and I feel really just so high from what you just said, I don't even know.
Speaker 2:You don't need drugs in life. You just need to be around somebody who's talking gibberish all the time and you will feel stoned.
Speaker 1:I know you saved me a lot of money. So the topic.
Speaker 2:What is today's topic?
Speaker 1:It's funny you should ask. Today's topic is sweet poison colon how sugar wrecks your skin and your colon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and your colon, yes, nice.
Speaker 1:I wanted to, you know, in case you're a person that sees things, you know, what is it? If you're, I don't know, sees things you can't, I can't talk, so I'm a perfect podcast guest In case you need to see, like picture something, it doesn't really matter. Visualize, yeah, visualize.
Speaker 2:That would visualize. That would be the one. I'm not sure what the? Yeah, visualize the title, I guess, if you wanted to visualize. But it's basically about the poison of sugar and how badly it wrecks your skin I absolutely love sugar, as said by any an addict ever so I get it.
Speaker 2:That's, it's a, it is a sweet poison, it is and uh, but when you eat it you're just like I don't even care it's seductive though it is seductive, it's in everything and after a while I found that whatever I'm eating if I eat it fast enough, because typically I do I end up just tasting the sugar of it and not so much the flavor.
Speaker 1:Do you eat it? This is when I was not to say that you're a chubby girl, but when I was back in Nam, I, when I was back in Nam, I, when I was chubby, would eat things really fast and I don't know why I wouldn't just savor it. But I don't know if I just did it so that like I didn't have to think about the fact that I ate it anymore, or I don't know. But I would like take such so much time to, like on the way home from school, I would get like a Hostess cherry pie Snickers bar, a Pepsi, a bottle of Pepsi, yeah, um, and you know. And like some lemon heads.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right, and that would be like my snack after school.
Speaker 2:Wow, yeah, and then you would eat all that before you got home.
Speaker 1:I would know I'd eat. I'd go home. My dad was. I was just moved in with my dad, um, and he, um, he was sleeping on a cot at that point for some reason. So I would go and sit on his cot with a little five-inch TV and then I would eat all of that sugar to myself because I was alone and I was so sad. Isn't that so sad? That was my friend, yeah.
Speaker 2:I did the same thing. I used to eat super fast and usually when everyone else was asleep and I would just load up whatever I wanted and I'd feel so good watching Star Trek, the next generation that I taped on. Vcr. Hell yeah man, Hell yeah Immigrant family. You know the thing is, I wanted to have all this stuff in front of me, yeah, but then I didn't want anybody to see it either to judge me or All right, because I just Maybe they would have been like my mom, would have been like oh, eat, eat, you know.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:But I still would have been. Just I would have felt a little off. I like to be alone.
Speaker 1:It makes you feel self-conscious, yeah, and.
Speaker 2:I've done that, you know, basically my entire life.
Speaker 1:I used to send my parents out and I'm always bringing the guests they would be like, hey, we're going to go to the blah blah, blah the mall or we're going to go do home. And then I would stay home and I would lock myself into the pantry.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't lock myself in, but I would look yeah, I would literally eat sugar out of the bag, uh, and then and then I would go into the freezer where the cool whip was and eat the frozen cool whip, anything that was sugar they or could turn into sugar was I was going to eat while they were gone.
Speaker 2:Exactly I still yeah, but the fact that, like they were so strict, or your mom was so strict, and having you not, that's just proof that that that will happen. You absolutely limit somebody to nothing. No sugar, okay, I'm gonna eat.
Speaker 1:I eat out of the bag yeah, like straight out of the bag, yeah and we used to steal it on the way to junior high wow, don't have cocaine.
Speaker 2:Okay, fine, I'm gonna go to south america and get the coca plant and just eat the leaves.
Speaker 1:I'll go right to the source. I'm gonna just eat the people. Eat the people that have cocaine?
Speaker 2:yeah, if you yeah, cannibalism is something you probably want to do. Yeah, you'll go into the mall, oh yeah, and then you lock yourself in the pantry and eat somebody and eat.
Speaker 1:Uh, army hammer, army, hammer. Um, what's better than him eating you right? Okay, we're arm and hammer. I think it's a. Settle your stomach a little bit.
Speaker 3:Is he of the Arm and Hammer family?

Speaker 1:I like that, yes well, thanks for being here. Um, I just, yeah, I was. When you posted your thing last time, I noticed that, like, despite whatever number it was of the people that saw your video, you had the highest percentage of people commenting and liking your video, because everybody loves you that much. Everybody was making comments about how much they love you and you know you're just such a sweetheart and obviously you're hilarious. It's a competition, absolutely.
Speaker 2:We all know. I'm glad that you see that. Right, you are the one. Ok, good, I'm glad you have to be the nicest, the most affable.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. I should be a politician at this point. Yeah, affable, I like that Sometimes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, affable, I like that Sometimes I kiss babies, but then you get you're allergic to it. I've never kissed a baby. You've never kissed a baby See, that's why you should be a politician, because every other one has, and they're weirdos. And then they never stop. They never stop exactly.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:That's so sad. That's so sad you have to ruin pizza.
Speaker 1:So do you have a really bad temper?
Speaker 3:I mean, I can lose it if you're listening to, not watching go ahead and take a look at his facial expression when he says it go ahead, say it again I I've gotten upset, I've gotten really mad.
Speaker 1:It looked like such a strain to even make your face look angry.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I get I get mad all the time. I think I got mad. I mean, it doesn't stay with me long, that's a problem, that's good, I can just lose it. Oh, I was working today and then my manager hi, if you're watching, you know like she just pushes me sometimes and I think it's for my own good, because I need to. You know like she's pushing me in ways that I, I, you know, I feel like I excel in certain areas of work and then in other parts, like maybe I, I can improve my hustle and just and improve my whatchamacallit, the um thing where you do multiple multitasking, yeah, so yeah, that's like hey, why don't you?
Speaker 3:yeah, you know, try and do more than one thing at a time and I'm like, well you know, I kind of had a snap right there you did because it felt out of my comfort zone yeah, but then I already. Like you know, we're here. I already forgot about it until I brought it up.
Speaker 1:Thanks, yeah oh man that sore yeah I'm sorry, man, we have salt that we give our complimenting salt for our guests and lemon juice, yeah for wounds it works wonders yeah, god, or you can pour some sugar in it thank you.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, which brings us to our topic yeah, are you a sugar person?
Speaker 1:I? Had no idea that you guys are like the authority on sugar well, I wouldn't say I'm the authority, but uh, chatpt seems to know a lot about it.
Speaker 2:I'm into skincare, though, so I do know a lot about what it does to your skin and everything, and I am a person who would eat pounds of sugar in front of her and she would see firsthand what it does to my skin and my thinking my personality. All of it is affected and changed. The mood swings.
Speaker 1:Going down the spiral staircase head first, uh yeah so when you said authority, you meant, like, the fact that we eat have eaten so much sugar. Yeah, yeah, yeah know that, you know about it, that you know the effects of it and, uh, what it does to the body well for my other job it's helpful to know stuff like that and you're conscious about your sugar intake both of you yeah, I mean you've gotten way. I have to I have to.
Speaker 2:I I look at labels now because I can slip off so easily. And then again in sugar, you know, like I don't have necessarily like sweets, but I'll still have, you know, peanut butter, pretzel, uh, things or whatever, and those just turn into, like sugar and not peanut butter pretzel what about uh booger sugar?
Speaker 1:booger sugar that's a different kind, yeah, yeah that one's probably better for you than sugar.
Speaker 2:You don't say yeah, I think that one probably doesn't give you diabetes. Cleaner it can be cleaner, yeah, yeah or dirtier or dirtier.
Speaker 1:Or dirtier yeah. Okay, never mind yeah.
Speaker 3:What do I know about that stuff? Yeah, what would you know about that? I don't know nothing about drugs. Okay, I'm a clean comedian, oh man See. And I believe him.
Speaker 2:But I do like sugar.
Speaker 1:You do like sugar. What's your favorite?
Speaker 3:sugar Like sugary treat anything with peanut butter oh, so you're okay, but yeah I like peanut butter anything, yeah, so like I'll eat peanut butter bars and right now my thing is should I?
Speaker 2:say it do you feel comfortable like this is a safe space I'm going?
Speaker 3:through like different diets I did I talk about my no meat last time I can't remember, I don't remember if you uh so I don't talk about it as because I don't want to preach, but I haven't eaten meat in a couple years okay, okay and so I've gone meatless, and now I'm going gluten-free yeah, okay, it's a new journey for me it's been a couple weeks, okay, yeah so now I'm just but it it's also a fascination.
Speaker 3:I'm like it's a little bit of a challenge because I'm going into the market like just looking at labels now.
Speaker 1:It is.
Speaker 3:That's what you have to do, and I'm looking first at like oh, is there like what kind of animal products? Because I'll eat cheese or dairy, but I won't eat, like you know, beef jerky or yeah, okay, yeah or like if it has collagen, I'm kind of like, well, what is that? I don't know what what is?
Speaker 1:I think it's like this, isn't it like the skin, sort of?
Speaker 3:so yeah, I won't do collagen yeah, yeah but he like eggs and cheese.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's yeah, so you get them. You'll have the milk and the and the product of the chicken baby.
Speaker 3:Yeah so you know being even being vegetarian the chicken baby, yeah. So you know being even being vegetarian is hypocrisy, if you want to. I mean, yeah, you know like I'm still eating the product, so I just can't bring myself to be full vegan.
Speaker 1:So but now you're trying to add no sugar to that part too, or less sugar, gluten-free, gluten-free. Oh okay, okay, but so the?
Speaker 2:sugar thing I have not really considered, so yeah, it's not something that people say you shouldn't have or not, because when things are like fat-free, they put more sugar in it and they just tell you the fat is the thing that's the worst. But the sugar, when it's just dumped into your body, will just turn into fat.
Speaker 1:That's in between your organs and well, let me tell you what happens. Okay, can you tell us what happens? I would love to tell you guys what happens.
Speaker 2:Hold on rick, she's gonna tell us what happens all right.
Speaker 1:So when you consume sugar, right, your blood sugar spikes, right, and then your body produces insulin. So then, uh, then you get um, oh wait, are these? Just hold on one second, stop, stop, stop, hold on. Let's see, this is my. I made notes, but I can't tell if I made. This is the note. See the words that if I just went right here it.
Speaker 2:Where's the note on here that says forget what you were doing? Yeah, oh, okay.
Speaker 1:This is okay. Here we go. How sugar causes, okay. So where's the part where it just says I asked it to just make it, okay, anyway. So what happens is you eat sugar, right, and then your body throws a bunch of insulin at it, right, because it freaks out, and so your body's pushing insulin, pushing insulin, pushing insulin, and that is what makes you fat, right? I'm just looking. I'm so sorry to do this I had it all like queued up in the way that I wanted to talk about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have to go to the top of it oh wait, there you go.
Speaker 1:Oh, here we go here we go, here we go okay I blame sandra you always, I was gonna say I'm sorry, but then I felt, but then I was like I feel bad if I shouldn't say I'm sorry, because I don't want to apologize for having to apologize.
Speaker 2:I was gonna say, yeah, okay, you just did all right.
Speaker 1:So we were talking about how puffy and like you do get puffy like when you eat sugar I do.
Speaker 2:I get puffy my eyes. I wake up like I feel like I'm like uh, like I just have like a hangover or something. It's like yeah.
Speaker 1:So here's, here's what happens when you eat sugar, right? So you're going to. You're going to put maybe you have a pan, a candy bar or pastry Anything that's bready is going to like it's going to turn into sugar, especially if it's like refined I love bread. I know it's so good. I can't eat it anymore though. Yeah, it instantly makes me probably the gluten that makes me bloated.
Speaker 3:It's gluten-free.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know, but then the sugar's still there. Yeah, but then even like a smoothie it's in like a fruit smoothie.
Speaker 1:You're going to eat probably I don't know 60 to 100 grams of sugar in, like a Jamba juice or something. We're not sponsored by them. But so then this causes a big spike in your blood sugar, right? So then your pancreas releases insulin to help to bring everything back to normal, because our bodies are always trying to like, keep it, you know, keep our stasis right. But the problem is is when you have too much sugar, this leads to this big roller coaster of sugar spikes and then sugar drops.
Speaker 3:Is that what's happening?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and if you're starting your day with sugar right, the first thing you're doing and that's why they tell you to stay off your phone first thing, because it gives you a dopamine rush that you have to keep chasing for the rest of the day If you eat sugar first thing in the morning, you're going to make your blood sugar go like this and then it's going to crash hard, and it's going to crash harder than it would be like, say, this is level're trying to get that morning high every freaking, every rest of the day.
Speaker 1:For the whole rest of the day. Exactly, and try it sometime. Try to eat just protein first. See what you crave throughout the day. Try having a hostess, you know cupcake or something or whatever. First thing in the morning that's gluten free, no Okay.
Speaker 2:Do it.
Speaker 1:And then see what happens. Yeah, and then see what happens. Yeah, um, and so that's going to lead to inflammation, uh, oxidative stress, you know, like you know the stuff that we're trying to protect ourselves from. And then there's something called glycation, which sounds fun.
Speaker 2:I want to go on glycation? Yeah right, it sounds like a sweet vacation, it is sweet vacation.
Speaker 1:But what it happens is that it um, it attaches your um, attaches to the malt and sugar molecules attach. Attaches to the sugar molecules, attach themselves to the proteins in your skin, like the collagen and the elastin and anything that keeps your skin firm and juicy, and then it creates wrinkles and you can't really fix it once it's done that, so that's permanent.
Speaker 2:So wrinkles, sagging, dullness, Isn't the glycation, if I remember correctly, off this article that I heard on a meme was that you? I get all my news sources. Yeah, but glycation is like basically cooking, right, isn't it when you have a? So it's in glycation, it actually is being cooked or it's being like turned over. So that's basically kind of what's happened to your skin.
Speaker 1:I guess so and so that's what causes aging. Right, and it's super hard to reverse once you get to that point. Yeah, there's yeah, there's another way to explain it too that it's a little more in depth, but I think that just knowing that it's doing that to your collagen and elastin, the fibers in your skin are hardening, so it's never going to look as juicy and good you ever seen an alcoholic skin.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Alcohol turns into sugar.
Speaker 2:It's like rawhide.
Speaker 1:Wasn't that? Yeah, I just kept thinking of whole coconut.
Speaker 2:Anyways. But like the skin, yeah, it gets like red and like hard. Yeah, it's like leathery. What's up with?
Speaker 1:that it like the skin. Yeah, it gets like red and like hard. Yeah, like leathery. What's up with that? It's because it's it's glycation. It's like you're. They're just, you're just dumping sugar into your system. The alcohol turns to sugar. It's going right to there, and yes, and then then they get the fun things called the gin blossoms the gin blossoms. I know the band yeah, I don't know exactly what that means, though do you know when um wc fields his big nose that he had?
Speaker 2:oh that's the gin blossoms oh my god okay like that's yeah, from drinking a lot of alcohol and gin.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah but yeah, I don't know why, but your nose starts to expand and then you um the blood vessels. I mean because the blood vessels are breaking right and so you're swelling. It's increasing the swelling, yeah and it really doesn't go back after that.
Speaker 3:Well, I'm glad you invited me here today. This sounds like a wake-up call for me. Yeah, man, you got to stop drinking all that gin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you really need to. I don't drink gin, just the juice, just not the blossoms, just the gin, not the blossoms, not the blossoms.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, it ages your skin, and that's, I think, one of the biggest reasons why we're even talking about it.
Speaker 3:You all have great skin. Oh, thank you, yeah, I try.
Speaker 2:You look a lot better than you used to. I used to look a lot worse.
Speaker 1:You did, though I did Even when we first started doing the podcast.
Speaker 2:I just thought I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did, I did.
Speaker 1:I did, I did, I did I did.
Speaker 2:I did like this Because I'm already past it.
Speaker 1:Your face looks less puffy too. Thank, you.
Speaker 3:When I first met you, you had a rounder face, I think.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see, I was definitely going to sleep at night, only falling asleep at night after eating ice cream.
Speaker 1:Yeah, give him the whole menu of what you would have before you went to sleep, if it's not too embarrassing. Oh, is it menu?
Speaker 2:of what you would have before you went to sleep if it's not embarrassing.
Speaker 1:No, it's fine, I don't, I'm just gonna have a blueberry.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, you feel better about it uh, I would have like ice cream and then I would get like these are good. So we always living within walking distance of a 7-eleven is only convenient for the first time you go there. Every other time it's like oh man, I'm gonna get so much shit that I don't need. For me it was always like cigarettes, and then at night, ice cream and then cookies, and then I'd get like some Swedish fish or something else, and I would just like basically to the point where, like, the guy at the counter was like do you mix all this stuff together? Because I was going there so often and that's the only way I could like go back, go to sleep.
Speaker 1:Can you believe I didn't say anything to you really about it much. No, you really didn't. And then I didn't want to shame him about it because I've been there.
Speaker 3:Sleeping on a full stomach, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would feel so good and then crash.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then I wouldn't think about anything else. But, that's the only way you could go to sleep back then. Yeah, because I just didn't. Yeah, I yeah, but but then when we would like hang out and like later on like you know, we had a different situation I would just wait for you to go to bed.
Speaker 2:I would like wait up all night and, like whatever, just hang out with her. But then, like when she would get tired, I was just like I'll stay up a little longer and then I would just, you know, just sit there and just really Well.
Speaker 1:I'm glad you don't do that now.
Speaker 2:Me too. It's too taxing just on everything. I'm not a fan of it. For me, it was Joe's.
Speaker 3:I had to have Joe's.
Speaker 1:I live close to a Joe's, oh yeah. So I'd have to have pizza every night before I go to sleep, yeah, so good.
Speaker 3:It's expensive, it adds up. It's not expensive, but it adds up.
Speaker 1:If you do it every night, yeah and then that's just like I had to have like a slice or two before sleep. But now I'm like why did I ever do that? Can you imagine like putting that and then trying to sleep?
Speaker 3:afterwards. Well, yeah, back then it was easy. But now, when you're younger, you can lay down after you eat.
Speaker 1:Now I have to stand up for four hours if I think about chili a little bit, yeah, yeah it's been a while to have a chili, but yeah I know, me too, I'm afraid of chili I, yeah, me too.
Speaker 2:I think it's a anything that has four alarm in the front of it.
Speaker 1:It's like, meant to be like. Oh no, this is the hottest one.
Speaker 2:I'm like, all right, cool, yeah, I don't need your competition I'm fine yeah, I just want to eat some food and leave me alone. But once you get used to the pizza, though, like a thing, you're like, oh, it's feeling good. And you're like, oh, I'm gonna do it again it's like a ritual too yeah, yeah and it's a reward.
Speaker 2:You went, you got through your day you start to assign it to that thing, you're like I'm done with the day. I go by here, I do this, I feel good, done, I feel this, my, I would be in a shit mood and then I would all of a sudden decide I'm gonna have ice cream and I'd be hanging out with nikki and my. The second, my, my mood was like I was all of a sudden cheery and happy. He was a Coke head.
Speaker 1:It was like it was like being with a Coke head after right, the second after you call your dealer, you're suddenly in the best mood of your life because you know you're going to get that. You're going to get that.
Speaker 2:That feeling, that rush, that high.
Speaker 1:But I mean literally, it would change. And you didn't believe me at first. No, I was like no, I've always been this chipper. Speaking of chips.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, Chocolate chipper.
Speaker 1:No, you would go from like being super grumpy and then all of a sudden like okay, you know, I'm going to go to get some thing you know at 7-Eleven, and then he wouldn't even go for a half hour and he'd just be like hee, hee, hee, Sound like my dad.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, uh. Whenever I go visit him, he would just always drop hints like hey, we should go for some ice cream. You got, you're in the mood for some ice cream? Just casually like uh, we both play drums, so we want to go to oh yeah, we'll go to the drum shop.
Speaker 3:uh, before you want to make a little pit, stop make, get some ice cream. And then, uh, my sister lives in texas and when she'd go visit him it was donuts. So I remember when I'd visit him it would be we'd have separate experiences, and when I visited him he was on ice cream.
Speaker 1:And then when she would visit him.
Speaker 3:It was donuts and so he was like he would always just same thing, but with donuts. He was like, hey, you want to get donuts, you want to get donuts. And then, like she told me this one time they went for donuts and they they had. Like they had driven up to the spot and they were. She was getting out of the car and he was already inside ordering. He had, like she didn't know how he did it like the like I don't know if the door was just open and the driver door was just open he just had to have it.
Speaker 2:He was like oh, wow, fiend, I I believe that there's something, there's something there where it's just like I look, I would, I would think about it and look forward to it yeah and I do the same thing. Hey, you wanna my brother would come to visit and like when he would visit back.
Speaker 2:Then we would both be on the kick oh my god and I would go to Trader Joe's and I'd buy all this sugar stuff and he wasn't going to be there for like four days, yeah, and I would be like eating. I'm like, oh man, I shouldn't have bought this so early.
Speaker 1:He would eat it before he got there.
Speaker 2:But then he would show up and I was like almost, like, oh, one more person's going to do it your dad because I would do the same thing. Hey, you want to get some ice cream?
Speaker 3:or something you know like that sounds good right breakfast.
Speaker 2:Huh, drug buddies, yeah but that's one I knew was a problem, and every time I got ben and jerry's I always had the fentanyl test strips if anybody's, nobody's gonna do that to me, you know you never know I never know, but yeah, it was definitely something that I didn't realize that I was addicted to it's an.
Speaker 1:it's a very addictive. I recognize it because I went through it a long time ago. But you were definitely doing it and I was just like in the beginning stages of our relationship where I was like, oh, that's cute yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, ice cream yeah.
Speaker 1:But, um, but then later on I was starting to put together.
Speaker 2:I'm like your moods are like like the next day would be not fun in the morning, you know I needed to like every so often, just go like in the other room and just do a little little ice cream.
Speaker 1:I sit on my nose, it's not.
Speaker 2:It's because it's not coke. I just go and then I'd come out and I'd be like, yeah, what's up are you off the?
Speaker 3:ice cream now or do you still?
Speaker 2:okay, I'm not doing any, any kind of dairy or anything like that or uh stuff, just for a little while, just see how it feels. But yeah, ice cream is.
Speaker 3:I haven't had it in a very long time. I gotta be honest. Now that we're talking about it, I'm kind of like, yeah, I could go for some thrifty.
Speaker 1:I don't know yeah, I love thrifty ice cream.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's the only reason to go to rite aid like uh yeah, are there any left?
Speaker 1:there's one, I think, on the fairfax and sunset. Yeah, I think they still have the ice cream. Yes, they do Get the midship. That's because, yeah, it's like, right there, it's perfect.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah I know so many memories of being broke but being able to just put a couple dollars together for a thrifty scoop.
Speaker 1:When I was a kid it was like 35 cents for a double scoop or something crazy like that.
Speaker 3:You grew up in LA? Yeah, I grew up in the Valley, yeah, so they were everywhere.
Speaker 1:They were everywhere.
Speaker 3:They're from LA right, I guess?
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, I don't know, I just remember them.
Speaker 3:They were close to my house, so I watched a YouTube video, I think once, about Thrifty yeah, oh, really yeah.
Speaker 2:But the majority of them are out of business now, or A lot of the Rite Aid bought them out and then they incorporated them.
Speaker 3:As we know, there was also a.
Speaker 1:Savon.
Speaker 3:Oh, the Savon, so it was.
Speaker 1:Thrifty and Savon were the two. So now it's what? Cvs and Walgreens, I guess, or whatever, and Rite Aid. But then I think what was the second one I said? Savon, savon turned into Osco.
Speaker 2:That's right. Which?
Speaker 1:what does that mean in Spanish? I don't know. I think it means sick Oscar, don't you speak a little bit of Spanish?
Speaker 3:No, I mean a little Paquito, Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2:Don't do too much. We're going to have to put some time, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1:I think it means sick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let me look it up.
Speaker 1:Okay, which makes sense because you're going to the pharmacy, but I don't think that's why they named it that.
Speaker 3:Asuka. Yeah, oh yeah, asuka, I'm sorry. No, don't be. We love her. We should have her on the podcast. She would do it, I'm sure. I'm sure she would. She'd be crawling off the couch.
Speaker 1:So yeah, okay. So then, while you're looking that up, the other thing it can affect is acne and breakouts. Did you have those as a kid or no?
Speaker 3:I felt like I'd have little spells of acne you do A little bit or there would just be like one. I would yeah, I would get one on my face and it would be the end of the world for sure. I didn't have too much of a problem with acne.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you were like me, I didn't break out.
Speaker 3:But if I got got one, my whole world would come to crashing down and it would be the biggest thing you've ever seen in your life. Yeah, and I was terrible about picking. That's probably not. It's a very fun thing to talk about on the podcast it's a skincare podcast picking the yes, it's a skincare podcast. It was fun to pick, yeah it is, yeah, like just popping it there's whole shows about it.
Speaker 1:I can't watch the shows, believe it or not. I do it as you know how I make money. But you know in some ways. But you can't watch somebody else. Somebody else doing it.
Speaker 2:No, that's like me was driving it's disgusting if I'm in the, it's disgusting, because if I'm in the passenger seat driving and someone else is driving, I get nauseous. There's something about that, so about what?
Speaker 1:driving about what? What if I'm in?
Speaker 2:the passenger seat oh right, I get nauseous no, it's the same thing, with you watching the, if you're not the one popping the pimples oh yeah, see it all connects. Yeah, it all connects so I got, I found the definition of osco yeah the one that I'm gonna use um is safe. This one is surly cantankerous. It's? What is it means in english? Uh, crabby and vicious, sharp doggy, dodgy doggy what does it mean in spanish, though?
Speaker 2:uh, hold on. Oh okay, here we go. Oh, dark-skinned, that's it. Yep, oh, I was way off. It's an extinct italic language.
Speaker 1:It says oh, I was completely off. Would you spell it with an A or an O, o, oh, okay, well then I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:You know what, Thanks for tuning in. You guys will see next week. Eventually we'll look.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, so if you've ever had a whole weekend full of cakes and cookies and everything and you have a puffy or you have breakouts and things like that, recently, um, I would go.
Speaker 3:I would. I don't know why, like, especially if there's a spread of them. I can't help myself. I think it's. It's an eating disorder. It's an eating disorder, but like if I can't have just one danish, like if there's a spread of danish, like, well, like three of them probably you know?
Speaker 1:yeah, that's like you need three different types of fruit.
Speaker 3:I'm just like, yeah, let's do it. You know, there's cake and there's like, if there's a party or like some special, like a gathering where there's just a table of pastries, I'm going to eat. Oh yeah, I'm going to try all of them.
Speaker 1:Well, they're specialty items. It's not something you're going to have every day.
Speaker 3:But then I feel like crap after. I feel like, yeah, it just doesn't.
Speaker 2:I can't bounce back as fast, no, but the thing is that if you have like all those pastries on there, it's very quick, I'm very quick to just be like well, it's new year's.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, right yeah, it's the holiday, it's like it's a special occasion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what's diarrhea between family? Don't bring up diarrhea again. Oh yeah, sorry, no, because in your last episode we had a lot of diarrhea. Oh right, yeah, don't worry, I won't do any of the diarrhea teasers Listen this show is about number one.
Speaker 2:That's it Okay. But, yeah, there's a very quick part of me that's just to be like oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You know what? Let's have ice cream. Come on, it's Wednesday, Like oh what.
Speaker 2:But I don't do that anymore because it's a very slippery slope. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1:It's addictive, it gets in your brain and then it's like you're waiting for that high constantly. It also affects your body's fluid, like your whole the balance, and that's why I'll end up making you retain water. So if you're trying to like look skinny, you don't want to eat carbs or sugar like if you're trying to like you know like sometimes people will have like a shoot or something they want to do yeah, and so they don't have sugar and for that reason, because it will make you puffy and that's what fabian calls uh, one of our friends for his auditions.
Speaker 2:He doesn't eat food because in the morning he gets fat face yeah fat because he just, you know, it just puts on the pounds and like puts on the retains water, basically and he has the perfect face for that too. It's very round yeah, yeah, I can help him with that, actually with the fat face.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can massage the, the lymph and everything and all the puffiness out are you gonna put a picture of him? Right we should.
Speaker 2:We should put a picture of him here Only if he disagrees with us putting him on Fabian's awesome.
Speaker 1:Tell him he ends up. He must have done some stock photos or something like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And they use his face a lot.
Speaker 2:Everywhere.
Speaker 1:And he's done commercials and stuff like that. He has a very like a look that you could sort of assign any kind of like you know Latino or you know any, you know Latino or you know any you know, or whatever I couldn't think of another.
Speaker 2:I couldn't think of another ethnicity either.
Speaker 1:Well, I was trying to think of, like, you know Italian or you know what I mean, but that's still Latin, ethically ambiguous. Yeah, it's very ambiguous, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but yeah, one day I was like on the phone and I think we were having an argument and I was driving through you know somewhere to deliver somebody some nachos or something you were arguing with Fabian.
Speaker 3:No, no, no With Nikki, and I drive by up on like the hill.
Speaker 1:Me and Fabian.
Speaker 2:But we drive by the hill and there's a plumbing truck there and it's just him on the side of the plumbing truck like this, and I was just laughing I was like oh my God.
Speaker 1:Does he even know?
Speaker 3:Yeah, he knows, he's like we have those friends that are just everywhere. There's a couple comedian friends who just you just get all the roles all the commercials yeah, yeah, yeah, all the little things you don't sound bitter, though. No, not bitter yeah, I don't remember the last time I went on an audition, do you?
Speaker 1:do, commercials do I present thin that's good, you have a great face though you have a good look yeah, when you do that, that's a good, that's a good look.
Speaker 3:You know what I'll buy, what I do in the mirror actually oh, I like the scoop in you did like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see I've never seen anybody do that before oh, yeah, yeah, I would totally buy a rickism it's a rickism.
Speaker 3:It's a rickism. Yeah, yeah, yeah well I dig it.
Speaker 2:I would buy blueberries from you. Speaking of blueberries, if you sold blueberries, I'd buy them from you.
Speaker 1:You can just have them well, thank you, that's what I was getting. I was hoping you'd just give me. By the way, blueberries are very low glycemic food, so like they don't spike your blood sugar very high good yeah berries mostly. Yeah. The darker the berry the, the less spike you're gonna get I don't think that's how the saying goes, is it?
Speaker 2:I just heard that they were good for you, so yeah, yeah, antioxidants superfood.
Speaker 1:That's what my mom would say superfood, yeah superfood.
Speaker 3:Just leaning more on fruits lately a lot of bananas, apples, banana blueberries.
Speaker 1:Apples are so good for you too. I mean, they all are, but yeah.
Speaker 2:It's the pectin.
Speaker 1:Is that right For the apple? Yeah, I like saying that word.
Speaker 2:It makes me feel like I read something.
Speaker 1:You worked out your pectin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you worked out your pectin.
Speaker 3:I don't even know what that means. What pectin?
Speaker 1:Pectin. I think know what that means, what pecs pectin. It's like a. I think it's a. It's a prebiotic. It's something that helps your digestion. Um, it helps. Maybe it helps the probiotics stay in there, but it is. It is good for your digestion though yeah, I mean, but apples are so good for you.
Speaker 1:That's why I say apple a day honestly, like you would really probably be able to keep the doctor away if you. I never stick to the apple a day for very long, though I've done it for about a month straight at apple every day you didn't go to the doctor I didn't go to the doctor for that month and, uh, my insurance hates me
Speaker 3:yeah so because you're not paying them, I'm not paying them and also, like I'm not yeah they.
Speaker 2:They're like listen, you're not costing us any money, but we need something to do. So I'm like no, no, I'm eating apples.
Speaker 1:That's it. They sent you like an anti-apple pamphlet.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I didn't like that. I sent it back and I sent back an anti-orange pamphlet. I'm like these don't even. You can't even compare these two.
Speaker 3:Do you think the what is it? The organization or the uh medical community wants us to keep us sick, or? I think so yeah, I mean definitely, I think, uh the insurance companies want us, want to keep us well I think they just kind of want to.
Speaker 1:You know, like I mean, business is business is business, so that's I think insurance companies, though, kind of want you to do your own so that they don't have to pay for the doctors, yeah, yeah it's the doctors and the medicals and the hospitals and stuff they're like. They're the ones that really benefit from you being sick but, they're taking. All that money comes from the insurance company that's why you're always getting from your insurance company. Like all these things you should be doing for yourself yeah, because they don't want to pay anything so the hospital no, the hospital loves you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they charge so much in hospitals. I remember my friend worked in a hospital in the supply department and, uh, a nine volt battery this was 2000, I don't know, two early 2000, 2007, maybe whatever and the nine volt battery was 25 dollars, a nine, just a nine volt battery. And then they would sell like these little pads, like three pads you put on your body was like I think it was like 85 or no, it was a hundred and something dollars, like they would just rack up the because they can, because insurance companies aren't going to be like the average cost of a nine volt battery is actually six dollars so crazy, it's like three dollars a volt yeah, you gotta get your volts on, because if not, then it's pointless If you're spending all the money on volts.
Speaker 1:You revolt.
Speaker 2:You revolt. See, I knew there was a reason why I liked you.
Speaker 1:I looked over at you to see if you liked that. Yeah, you like that. I love it. Yeah, I'm checking on Rick I love it.
Speaker 2:That's a good improv, by the way. I love it. That's a good improv by the way, I love it.
Speaker 3:There's a revolt happening right.
Speaker 2:There is.
Speaker 1:Not, really no.
Speaker 3:We're kind of docile.
Speaker 2:We're like laying back. I think we're like that's what it almost kind of feels, like we're just kind of being like all right, we want to fight, but then we don't do anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I think yeah.
Speaker 2:It'll happen nice you know I don't want to revolt right yet. Right now it's not revolting weather. You know summertime when people are super hot, right, that's when shit gets done. The wintertime people are like I'm pissed, but it's cold you know, but they don't realize that the hate can fuel uh heat yeah, so people learn on their own. You can't do anything about it, you know?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah um, all right. So sugar is highly inflammatory, um, and it's going to cause things like rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, it's gonna. It may not cause it because those are immune. Um, those are autoimmune responses, but it will feed it and the and it loves it and candida, um fungus, anything.
Speaker 2:what's up's that? Is that the yeast?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a yeast that we have in our bodies all the time. I have something called seborrheic dermatitis and there's a fungus. As I scratched my head, there's a. This is a fungus called like Malasazi or something, I can't. I'm saying that right, but and we all have it but for some reason there's an immune response that's been triggered in my body that, like it, tries to attack it, and so I've had issues where either like this becomes super red and like crusty, or like there's been times when, like my hair has- fallen out on the top, where it just gets too irritated because the hair is just like I can't deal with you right now.
Speaker 1:So, um, and when I eat sugar, I definitely notice it comes on faster.
Speaker 3:How do you fight it?
Speaker 1:Um, I try not to do sugar. I have to do like antifungals, like on my, in my shampoo. Um, and then stress also triggers a lot of it as well. So you know. So, no, it's never going to be under control. No, I shouldn't say that it is going to it is under control it's under control right now.
Speaker 2:The brain does not know sarcasm. I know, so it's not very the brain doesn't have a sense of humor. No Psh, unbelievable.
Speaker 1:It's stupid. So how can you cut back? I bet you were wondering.
Speaker 2:How can we cut back on sugar?
Speaker 1:Because you don't eat candy, right? Yep, but it's sneaky before you start saying uh, you know I'm not gonna have candy, you've got to be. There's yogurts. Yogurt sneaks a lot of sugar in there for you, for sure granola bars. Who the hell eats granola bars anymore? But any of them you know, like I know, do you granola bars.
Speaker 3:Well, uh, I was. I was now with the, the gluten-free thing. I've been eating, sorry bars that have like sugar. I mean all like pretty much all the bars have sugar, unless they're like sugar-free bars.
Speaker 1:But they're like sweetened stevia or something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, something like that but like the yeah, the gluten-free, all the gluten-free bars are very sweet yeah snack.
Speaker 1:Wells, by the way, does that to make you? They take out all the fat and they just add more sugar. But if you eat more fat, that actually will curb your sugar right?
Speaker 3:um, cravings we should just make our own bar yeah, well, we did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I have been yeah nikki's been making some oh you have your own bar and it's got peanut butter in it, Rick. What the heck?
Speaker 2:I'm going to make some for you and we'll drop some off, I will.
Speaker 1:Can you eat chocolate? Yeah, okay, oats.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think there's gluten-free oats. I can do it without the oats.
Speaker 1:I'll check into the protein powder that I use for it, but there's no sugar added. And then, yeah, I make like these bars. What ingredient?
Speaker 2:am I using Sweet?
Speaker 1:potato, sweet potato. It's made with sweet potato and peanut butter. You mix that up and then I mix in the dry ingredients of baking soda, baking powder, the oats. There's supposed to be a third of a cup of chocolate chips, but I do a half cup and it's way better.
Speaker 2:Semi-sweet, so it's not so bad, but it's still sugary. Yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 1:And you're eating sweet potatoes and protein and then I put like four scoops of protein powder in there.
Speaker 3:It's good.
Speaker 1:Do you bake it or is it no bake? I put it in the oven at 350 for about 20 to 25 minutes until it kind of just gets a little bit. I don't know if it rises, but it gets a little hard. And then you know a little bit, a tiny bit of like a crunchiness on the top, but not too much, and then we just cut it up into pieces and so no added sugar and it's like the chocolate.
Speaker 3:I guess that's kind of sweet.
Speaker 1:The chocolate is, yeah, semi-sweet, but it's not like yeah, but that's the only thing that has the added sugar to it. But the sweet potato is naturally sweet. With the sweet potato and the peanut butter and the chocolate, it tastes like you're just eating brownies Sounds amazing it really is. I've been tricking Sandra for months with this.
Speaker 2:It's worked. Yep, I like it. It's really good.
Speaker 1:You're going to make me one.
Speaker 2:I'll make you some, and I'll make you some, and I'll make rick some.
Speaker 1:We should make some, yeah, and then we'll drop some off to you and you will only have it. Uh, we'll give it to you in the booth freaking love that, yeah, yeah all right, all right, so let's do that please right now.
Speaker 2:No, I mean, we can all right.
Speaker 1:So salad dressings. Would you think that there would be sugar and salad dressings?
Speaker 3:there is right like, yeah, like the ranch. I don't eat a lot of ranch.
Speaker 1:I don't eat a lot of salad dressing yeah, we have at the comedy club.
Speaker 3:there's a plum dressing. Ooh, that sounds good. That's kind of like it tastes like a vinaigrette and it has a sweetness to it. So, I'm assuming there's some sugar. I've been eating it pretty much every shift.
Speaker 2:Yeah that sounds good.
Speaker 3:Half a shot of it shot, it's just like yeah uh, well, I I went from eating pizza every shift like my shift meal, yeah um, to eating these salads. So the kitchen's been hooking it up, but yeah, that's good yeah, I don't know what's in the dressing.
Speaker 1:I mean like it's I'm sure it's not as much sugar as the pizza is going to turn into.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And you've got the Okay. Here's another thing Vinegar helps to lower your blood sugar as well. So if you're eating something like that's, you know, very sugary and you have it A with protein or a fat but, also having it with vinegar, Like if you're eating pizza dipping it in like balsamic vinegar or anything like that will help. For some reason it causes the um it not to turn into such a high blood sugar spike oh, what about balsamic glaze? That's got sugar. That's like, yeah, there's so much sugar in it, I know good this is a little different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so good.
Speaker 1:I love it sounds amazing on everything you can actually put it on strawberries. It's really good do you like?
Speaker 3:you like the apple cider vinegar shots. Have you heard of that?
Speaker 1:Like people just drinking a shot of apple cider vinegar. I've done it. Yeah, I don't recommend taking a shot. I would break it up a little bit because it burns your throat.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it's very pungent.
Speaker 1:And watch your teeth too, Like after a while it will burn the enamel right off your teeth.
Speaker 3:You know, I After a while it will burn the enamel right off your teeth. I haven't been smiling much for a reason.
Speaker 2:Oh not exactly.
Speaker 3:I'm proud of how discolored my teeth are. I'm just like a habitual coffee drinker.
Speaker 2:I do the same thing with coffee. Yeah, he drinks all day long.
Speaker 3:I also drink coffee. No matter how much I brush, I need whitening strips. I've heard that the whitening process if you go to like a place to get your teeth whitened, it's very invasive. Oh, I don't know much about it, but somebody told me a story that they scream.
Speaker 2:I know it can be painful yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, like well, that's like a deep cleansing yeah.
Speaker 3:Deep cleaning. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:Just watch when you're sipping something all day long, you're getting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just watch when you're sipping something all day long, you're getting. If you're going to sit, honestly, if you have to sit and drink something sugary or brown stain water on your teeth, you're sipping it all day long. You're constantly exposing your teeth to the acid and to the brown stain water all day long, as opposed to being like here's a shot, it's done, yeah, Right, and then your mouth can reestablish the pH balance in there and it's not acidic. But if you're constantly reintroducing, you know, like you know, when you give a kid a baby bottle filled with fruit juice, they're just sucking it into their teeth all day long. It's not like a you know, it's just drinking a glass of juice which has really got a lot of sugar in it too.
Speaker 3:I'm looking into taking all my fluids intravenously.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, I'm looking into taking all my fluids intravenously.
Speaker 2:Yes, hopefully that's a good way.
Speaker 3:I think it's a good move, just hook me up, yeah. With your coffee have you ever had one of the? Or have you been in the hospital for a while where they got to put the? What is that IB? There's a yeah, but they give you a stick like if you're in there a long time, like a stint.
Speaker 2:Not you a stick, like if you're in there a long time, like a stint? Uh, not a stint, no stints in the hospital.
Speaker 3:Yeah, a stint in a hospital, no, uh, I forgot what it's called, but I was in the hospital and for a couple months and I had this like a port.
Speaker 2:There was a port.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay like do this plug because they were sticking me all the time, um, uh, for vitals and stuff that they just like had this, they had. They did this one insertion that was just there for a while and they would like plug it in whenever they needed to yeah for stuff. Uh, I forgot what it's called though I think it's a port.
Speaker 1:I mean with if you're're doing like chemo. They call it a port, A port.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't know, maybe they call it something different. I'm not a port authority.
Speaker 3:Oh Nice.
Speaker 2:Nice by the dogs.
Speaker 3:Hold on there, you go Keeping points there should be a I'm in the negative still, my my favorite, is you just going?
Speaker 1:right, that's a good improv one too. Yeah, right, that was funny, right, that was good.
Speaker 2:Very good Nice.
Speaker 1:By the way, ketchup most store-bought ketchups are going to have sugar in it. Barbecue sauce, pasta sauce, pizza sauce Pizza Hut, I think, has a ton of sugar and maybe even corn syrup, which is even worse because your body instantly converts that to like it's. You're just putting like glucose in your system. That's what they were probably giving you in your, in your port or whatever is. They were probably giving you some sort of a glucose drip to keep your body you know yeah, uh saline saline drip yeah what is saline anyway?
Speaker 1:um, just to keep you hydrated, yeah, I think. Yeah, I mean salt water basically. Oh, salt water, salt water, yeah. The tears of a doctor.
Speaker 2:Your tears weren't enough. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Let's see what else. All right, so yeah, so even things that have organic and natural on the label are still going to have a ton of sugar.
Speaker 2:I've also noticed, like ketchup that says no sugar added. If you look at the back, they put sorbitol.
Speaker 1:Yeah, or sucralose, they flip it, or sucralose.
Speaker 2:They flip it, they're like well, it's technically not sugar, but it's something even worse for you. Is it worse?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's bad for your digestion, there's a whole bunch of things. Sucralose, and your body actually responds to a lot of those natural sweeteners as if it were a sweetener anyways.
Speaker 2:It'll still spike your blood sugar. That's like Diet Coke is the same thing, it's just not good. It also tastes like shit, but your mouth knows that it's sweet.
Speaker 1:You can't fool your mouth necessarily.
Speaker 3:I was addicted to Diet Coke for many years. Oh yeah, it took a lot to stop. I'm off diet coke, but now I'm. I've just replaced it with energy drinks. Sugar-free energy drinks oh my god, I just gotta have. I gotta chug like a celsius in the morning. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean not to no brands. Zero sugar energy drink right.
Speaker 1:What's it sweetened with? Do you know I?
Speaker 2:don't know paprika which is good, paprika, papaya I like the.
Speaker 3:I like that it has 200 milligrams of caffeine. My god, oh, there you go. That's a big hit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love that I need that caffeine yeah yeah there has to be a better way though intravenous probably.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, put it in your venous.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there was something I used to drink that was supposedly natural. I cannot remember the name of it, but it was like a 300 milligram hit of I forget it's another taurine, taurine, guarana and guarana. Yeah, and it was supposedly a natural drink from some multi-level health food person. And then I would just get these cases of it before I would go to work. I'd down it because I hated my job. And then, yeah, just bing 300 milligrams is a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot for your heart too.
Speaker 2:When people are like, oh no, it's good for you, it's natural, it's like well, so are angel trumpets or certain animals that are poisonous. You're not supposed to eat those either.
Speaker 3:What was the first?
Speaker 2:one People are like oh no it's natural Angel trumpets.
Speaker 1:Angel trumpets. Maybe it's something else. Hell's bells.
Speaker 3:Hell's bells, is that true, I thought you know what Hearing the angels' trumpets that would kill you.
Speaker 2:Oh, it would signify it. You're like oh, I hear the trumpets that gets him going See the tunnels of light. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I think I had too much caffeine, you seem very alert.
Speaker 2:He's very with it. But yeah, so there's natural stuff that is very bad for you as well. I just you know. I just want to make a point that no one would get.
Speaker 1:You did. You made a great point about that.
Speaker 2:Oh come on.
Speaker 1:So a good way to switch out some of those drinks, like you're saying, is, you know, do herbal tea, which is looking for, but you know, sparkling water, lemon water was just really good for your liver. Actually that's the detox your liver. Um, instead of regular candy, which I used to eat so much candy even when I first started doing comedy I would go to to the store and be like, hey, dean did for dean delray, do you want me to pick you up anything? And we would just. I would just get huge things of like the sour patch kids.
Speaker 1:Oh, my god yeah so bad, and then I had a lot of dental work very soon after that. Um, so do dark chocolate, which is, you know, like 70 or higher the, the higher the percentage of the cocoa that's in there, or whatever the um what's the word?
Speaker 2:I'm looking for cacao cacao.
Speaker 1:Yes, I was thinking of like the um portlandia sketch cacao I you haven't seen that. I sent you the. I know I would love it. You would love it. You would love it. Yeah, I know you would. I didn't send you the outline.
Speaker 2:We're going to talk about Portlandia. It gave you a bunch of episodes to watch. You probably didn't get it.
Speaker 1:Did you no oh?
Speaker 2:But or it says dark chocolate 70% or higher, or fresh berries.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which he brought, which Rick knew, oh you didn't even know what the topic was going to be today.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I wasn't sure, I didn't know. I thought we were going to talk about glutathione.
Speaker 1:Glutathione. We don't talk about glutathione every episode, okay.
Speaker 2:That's only special. I thought you were throwing it under your breath.
Speaker 3:I know just the person to call for this episode.
Speaker 2:Now, you know, just repeat the same thing you said in the first episode.
Speaker 1:You're like studying your own episode. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Put a little thigh on. We love you. Rick, Just say the same thing you did last year. Here's your script You're gonna do great, okay.
Speaker 1:and then if you add cinnamon and or vanilla to your food, it's really good and it tricks your brain into thinking it's sweet and it blows your blood sugar. So tell me, why do you like those things?
Speaker 3:you hate them this is funny that we are bringing up cinnamon, yeah really what's going on with that? Yeah, it's a new thing I've started doing in my life snorting it. Cinnamonymous oh my god, more points. Yeah, no, uh, I got so excited when you mentioned cinnamon.
Speaker 1:I saw that.
Speaker 3:Because I did it this morning, I've been drinking matcha. And I saw this tip on YouTube to add cinnamon in your green tea, and so I've been doing that. I've been adding cinnamon in my matcha Cinnamon's really good for you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's so good. Yeah, yeah, I'm doing unsweetened. I'm doing like I don't add any sugar yeah to the matcha just the green powdery stuff, right green powder.
Speaker 3:Well, I have this. Blend do we like blends?
Speaker 1:yeah, I mean, it depends on what it is with organic.
Speaker 3:It's got organic, okay, um, the only problem with this is okay. I should tell you what's in it it's organic matcha, no sugar. It has, uh, dehydrated coconut milk and um, with no added sugar, no sugar. It has dehydrated coconut milk and with no added sugar, no sugar and MCT oil, which I have to google because I think it's good for me.
Speaker 2:It's supposed to be very beneficial. I forget exactly what it's for, but that's like it's supposed to be something that really helps you is it like the bottleneck coffee, or what the mc oh? The. Oh right, bulletproof. Yeah, that's what they put in. It's the mc2.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, with like butter in there.
Speaker 2:What that is? Yeah, I don't know, it might be, yeah so, yeah, it's the.
Speaker 3:It's this blend, it's this matcha blend. The only problem with this is I don't know how I'll be able to source it. I found it at we're not naming brands right now.
Speaker 1:I don't care, okay, well, this brand.
Speaker 3:the store starts with an M and it ends with Arshels.
Speaker 2:Okay, so Okay, I was going to say that.
Speaker 3:So yeah, they just have one thing I don't endorse anything, but I do like this place because they have these one of a kind knockoff or just one, one one-off things yeah, yeah, like towards the front of the store, like that kind of thing. Yeah, just like little bags of, like you know, this is, this is like uh, um, what's another one? Like uh, coffee, that that's infused with the nootropic mushrooms.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Getting a lot of mushroom coffee and all that stuff that you know.
Speaker 3:you just you boil the water and then you blend it in. You have like this coffee. So the same thing with the matcha. I found this matcha powder.
Speaker 1:there Buy a bunch of them the next time you go go, it's like 11 bucks for the pouch. So it's not, it lasts for a while. It lasts for a while.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a nice big pouch and it's just the organic matcha, the dehydrated coconut milk and the mct oil that sounds good may or may not be good for me. I haven't googled it yet I think.
Speaker 2:I think it's good for you. Okay, just the fact that it comes in a pouch. You had me.
Speaker 1:I like the idea of like, having it like a thing?
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly, I always think it's nice to go. That's cool. Blend it with water, I thought you were going to say wine.
Speaker 1:for some reason, I thought you were going to say wine too.
Speaker 2:this one's got good legs, and then, on top of that, I throw the cinnamon on top.
Speaker 3:That sounds really good. That has a ton of added sugar. I thought that would be funny. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry Nikki, I'm sorry Sam even the Beatles had a few clunkers yeah, yeah, can we name one?
Speaker 3:they let Ringo sing few clunkers. Yeah, yeah, that's what I have to remind myself. Can we name one? I don't know One Beatle or one clunker? One beatle or one clunker? Beatles song, anything that. Ringo did, maybe you could probably find one. Yeah, yeah, Octopus Garden.
Speaker 1:I mean it's still kind of cool, though. Right, it is cool, it's a weird dumb song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I like the business guy, I can't forget jay taylor sounds like I like the business guy man you're doing it.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, bob dylan.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's right, bob dylan. You're wasn't his real name, robert dylan his name was bob zimmerman actually I used to be in a band and we.
Speaker 1:It was called led zimmerman, you were in a band.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I play guitar, okay, uh, how many episodes have we done that? Two, we have not talked about.
Speaker 2:I know she doesn't talk. She doesn't talk about it, she like she downplays it I'm uh, I'm uh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was in a blues band for a really long time like a roots blues band. I've been in rock bands. I'm a backup singer in bands and a bass player. You should come to my house, I've got I just have a cool keyboard over there.
Speaker 3:What You're blowing my mind right now. Sandro, don't tell me, you play music too I mean I mess around on drums.
Speaker 2:I have a cajon.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I go with beats, but I don't really you know I don't do professionally the cajones, it's all inside stuff right, yeah, well, that's the thing if they want to know about it.
Speaker 2:too bad, I too bad, I do hashtag you Greedo Gagoots when I put these things out, because it's got more traction than we do at this moment. It's got tires, they say, it's got legs. It's got legs, just like your drink.
Speaker 1:We're mixing it with the wine. That's what this means.
Speaker 2:I think this is a universal yeah, oh yeah, the Grand Marnier or the wine, wine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, so you're using cinnamon, which is fantastic for you and your green tea. I'm going to try that, because I have a really good matcha too right now that my sister gave me, and I'm going to put a little cinnamon in there. It's nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a good move.
Speaker 1:And then focus on protein, fiber and your healthier snacks. Let's see, oh, here's a good thing that it's mentioning. Uh, once you cut back on sugar for a while and you may have noticed this I know you have is that after a while, things seem too sweet when you go back yes, absolutely yes, especially after having like the protein bar you make.
Speaker 2:If I have anything else, that's too much, it's like wow wow, this is a little overload like if you go from diet coke to regular coke. That's what happened to me.
Speaker 1:I was like oh, this is almost too much.
Speaker 2:And then I went back to diet coke, thinking I was doing something really good for myself you did yeah, because I was like oh well, I'm not having that right, yeah, you're just having like 400 chemicals.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's fine I up and right before I I made this gluten-free switch, I was getting boxes of pop tarts. Oh, I love pop.
Speaker 1:I mean there's cinnamon pop tarts, yeah and I was just.
Speaker 3:I was like fiending, I was just I couldn't get enough free. No, no before um, and then uh, so now I'm I've been off pop tarts for a couple weeks and um, and the other day I had a. I there's this place down the street that does vegan and gluten-free stuff, and I tried their gluten-free cake and it was just too decadent.
Speaker 1:Too sweet. It was just too sweet.
Speaker 3:I was just like what the hell is in this thing. I mean, I thought it was tasty. The first bite was tasty. Second bite was like this is a lot of sugar. Third bite was like I'm eating too sugar. Third bite was like I'm eating too much it's almost like burns in your mouth after a while. Yeah, I could.
Speaker 1:I could barely finish it, that's how tolerant you were, though, of sugar. Before, yeah, you calloused your mouth, and now it's like oh, what's that? It's too much.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was too rich, but uh, it was good, I mean like, but it was just too much just one bite is enough.
Speaker 2:How come they don't just sell bites of cake? They sell sliced pizza. Why can't I just have a bite of cake?
Speaker 1:These are cake pops, cake pops, cake pops.
Speaker 2:Yeah, nice, that reminds me of my father, though he's not around anymore, so thanks a lot.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, that's what I used to call my dad cake pops. Cake pops, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the high blood sugar.
Speaker 1:So if you stop eating sugar, you're also going to notice that your skin's probably going to look brighter and clearer, you're going to have better elasticity, you're going to have less dark circles, as we talked about Yep, redness is going to start fading, just like if you stop drinking, and obviously you're going to have more energy and you'll sleep better. So, honestly, it really only takes about two weeks before all those benefits start to happen. Dang yeah.
Speaker 3:You know, this all coincides with my lifestyle overhaul, because I've been working on sleep, I've been working on myself and trying to get more energy and focus.
Speaker 1:That's great.
Speaker 3:So, yeah, I mean, what a timely episode really. I've been trying to sleep early. I've been trying to sleep early the last episode. If you want to go back for reference, you can use this.
Speaker 1:Oh, the glutathione episode. Yeah, the glutathione episode.
Speaker 3:I was here and I was talking about how I feel like I think I have ADHD. I have all these symptoms and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, and I was seeking professional help.
Speaker 3:I guess this is a follow-up to that. Yeah, please do I went to a psychiatrist because, well, I have the state insurance. I didn't think I could afford insurance and I can't, so I get it free through the state which you can do if you don't have any money, and I just didn't put any of this together. I didn't know that I could see a psychiatrist.
Speaker 3:You know, up until recently yeah, um and so after a few visits they were like you know what you're? It just sounds like you're really like lacking sleep. You need. You know like part, a big part of the lack of focus is just like you're sleeping is shit. They didn't say that, but it was like you're, you have terrible sleeping habits and you're not able to focus because you're eating bad and your your sleep is bad. That's mainly what they said.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I've just been working on that over the past couple months and I feel like there has been improvement and like just also what I'm eating, what I'm taking in the less, the less if you get to the worst decisions you're making with your food because your body is like oh, okay, I'm up at 5 am and I just went to bed at you know two. I'm gonna have some donuts yeah, yeah and it really and it feels okay. Your brain is like it tricks. It's tricked into thinking that it's okay, so the sleeping hygiene is really important.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the first, one of the first things that my therapist asked if I, if I go off like on a day where I'm like just angry about something or something happens and the first thing she says is like how are you sleeping? Are you eating enough? Are you drinking? Are you so you hydrated, like the basic things that you just and I just took for granted, or just been like, oh, that doesn't affect anything, what I eat, what I eat doesn't affect anything I'm just good but yeah, it all just changes everything.
Speaker 2:It changes how you eat, it changes how you sleep. Everything affects everything. Sleep affects the food, food affects your sleep your mood constantly. You don't have enough water, you get cranky, you have blood blood sugar or a crappy.
Speaker 1:You feel bad about yourself. I get headaches. Yeah, I'm dehydrated.
Speaker 2:I feel like really run down yeah it's easy to get, just you know, in a sour state. Yeah if you don't take care of yourself.
Speaker 3:I used to think just like oh, food is fuel, it's energy, or we're just told that so I'm like it just doesn't really matter what you put in, as long as you get something you know, get some carbs going just for the mood or whatever. But now it's rick has had it he's had it, I've had it, I'm hacking up uh all sorts of detritus, but um no, uh it the the. The quality of the fuel that you're putting in is what is, you know, really gonna help the rest of your day it sets you up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're having more energy. I don't rely on coffee as much I do like my caffeine I like my zero energy drinks or my zero zero energy drinks my zero sugar drinks.
Speaker 1:That's what the problem is you got the wrong ones. So, yeah, I got extra sugar.
Speaker 3:Yeah, extra sugar no, um, the yeah, the celsius for um, you can bleep it out, but um, yeah, it's just like. Yeah, my, I like my energy drinks. What can I say? Yeah, man but other outside of that. You know, I feel like I've been eating a lot healthier.
Speaker 1:I want to check in with you. In like another three months, we'll have you back.
Speaker 3:If I can defeat these energy drinks, then that would be fantastic.
Speaker 1:We'll talk about that. We'll talk about caffeine and whatever, whatever you want.
Speaker 3:I might run the LA Marathon, I don't know run the LA Marathon.
Speaker 1:I don't know why not.
Speaker 3:That's something that's always been in the back of my head.
Speaker 1:I can't do that.
Speaker 3:Rick, you should do it then Should I do it, maybe 2028.
Speaker 1:No, when's the next?
Speaker 3:one.
Speaker 2:The Olympics. You're going to the Olympics. The LA Marathon, the LA Marathon.
