Speaker 3:I think that's great a lot of I do a lot of uh self-care yeah, tell me about it.
Speaker 1:I have have some Kiehl's. Okay, you know the Kiehl's products. Yeah, they get them in for that Kiehl's.
Speaker 3:Yeah, my mom, actually in my I don't know why she got in my stocking for Christmas. She gave me this vitamin C chemical Like an enzyme peel or something. Yeah, what's the one where it's rough, where you rub exfoliating? Yeah yeah, she got me that and then I looked I noticed one of the warnings was you shouldn't go in the sun, so no, I don't know why she gave me that.
Speaker 1:Well, you do it at night oh, but, but the next day you have to avoid the sun well, I mean it's if you do it in the morning and then you go out in the sun. It's going to be a lot worse than if you do it. At night. Your skin cells are turned over. You get more of a dead layer on your skin. Don't wash your face and then go out in the sun you know what I'm saying, she gets it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like all that stuff. I have j crew products. I like my. I was raised by a single mom, so I I'm pretty familiar with that whole world. I really like it. I like smells too. I'm like a cologne guy that's perfect sometimes I put it on if I'm just, I just want to. I want to smell good me. I don't even do it for other people, it's like I want to smell myself.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I can't smell you at the moment. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Do you?
Speaker 2:smell him I can't smell him, but I know that for me, I smell this room, this room. The room smells, the room has a certain smell.
Speaker 1:This room smells like if you going off the charts anyways yeah smell speed, yeah, um, all right, nobody got my joke, except for you, I know like room tone, yeah, like sound speed or whatever they say yeah, we're getting room, stink everybody room stink yeah I like the aromatherapy is huge, that's a big part like I like I like smoking weed, but I think even the smell of the weed itself, even if I don't smoke it, I just like.
Speaker 2:I like the smell of weed too. That's why we even if I don't smoke it, I just like the-. I like the smell of weed too.
Speaker 3:That's what we were saying earlier. I don't I used to smoke in college. I think New England weed in 2005 was just like nothing and then it got crazier and then now my anxiety can't handle it. But now when I smell we were walking on the street and I smelled weed and I was like I still like that smell a lot. Yeah, it's nice, it's really. I don't. It's, it's more nostalgic. It doesn't remind me of the scary times I was like oh, it reminds me of when it was fun. But then I'm like I have to. I I mean, if I smoked, I told people if I smoked weed I would just drive to the hospital like I mean, I literally just try to get there before it hit me and admit myself immediately one time I was smoking, sorry, one more story, I was smoking weed sorry, we're all done.
Speaker 3:One of my last stories one of my last times I smoked, somebody had a vape pen and I don't smoke a lot and I and I like hit it. And as I exhaled, the other person was like, oh no, and that is the most terrifying thing because you're like, it hasn't hit me yet, but I know in his eyes it was too much, which is way too much for me.
Speaker 2:And then we were at like the big plume we were at a denny's in san jose and it hit me it was yeah, so dude that's just like because I missed the movie crank no, the guy would basically something had to get shot up with something and if he doesn't I forgot, he doesn't keep his heart rate at a certain oh, yeah, whatever he'll die, or something like that. So he knows it's coming, he's trying to stop it off. So like, if you're having that feeling where you're like, dude, what's going to happen to me?
Speaker 2:that's terrifying especially weed, because like 93, 95, like thc, it's just like just it fucks you yeah it's too strong man, it's too much.
Speaker 1:That's why I don't like it well, especially with the vape too, you don't even know how much you're getting. I'm like I'm not getting anything and then a huge.
Speaker 3:That's what it was, yeah I'm used to feeling burning yes because back in 2005 you're inhaling embers and then now they're like it's just novocaine.
Speaker 2:You don't feel anything and you're but what you have to do is you have to smoke past that and then smoke through it now I just I don't have any if it doesn't affect you, you don't have any lungs, uh well, no, I have.
Speaker 1:I don't like the vapes, though as much as the regular I don't know, the vapes are not actually hurt to me more here so, nikki, can I ask you a question?
Speaker 2:yes, what are like some weird skin triggers, that's so funny that you would ask yeah, why when?
Speaker 3:I'm peeling the shit off my face, I'm tripping. What are some skin remedies that I can do?
Speaker 1:well, first of all, something you may not have thought about dirty pillowcases can mess up your skin I can only imagine you know, because you got oil, you got bacteria, your hair products that are on there, your vitamin c stuff that you may, oh no, actually you took it off because you rinsed it off sweat because I bathe because you bathe but pollen.
Speaker 3:I mean there are nights though. It's funny you brought that up because they're saying you should, if you're have like allergy problems, shower before bed because now all that shit is in your bed. Yeah, and that's my problem is like I've like I'll get watery eyes and they're like it's probably from your pillowcase.
Speaker 1:I hadn't even thought about that. That's really Think about it, whatever's going on in our eyes, I'm like our hair.
Speaker 3:you shake and fucking green pollen falls out. That's so funny.
Speaker 2:There'll be days, like literally, where I'll feel something and there'll be like a leaf and I'm like how long has this been in here, did you have?
Speaker 1:seeds in your hair. Yeah right, with his hair you can think there's going to be a tree in there you have a tomato plant, yeah, totally.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and those are irritants on the eyes, the tomato leaves.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, so the remedy to that? I use a silk pillowcase. I don't know if you've heard of these. Mandy does, my girlfriend does yeah.
Speaker 3:And it's a little creepy looking. I don't know if I like it.
Speaker 1:Do I know?
Speaker 3:Mandy, mandy Martino, she was on here.
Speaker 1:Oh, of course, yes, oh, okay.
Speaker 3:I didn't know you did. I'm not a silk pillowcase. Guy feels nice, though yeah, it looks very, you know very, aladdin look doesn't it seem like rich? But uh, but I mean I wash. I try to wash our sheets at least once a week in general for the overall thing yeah, but yeah, I gotta yeah, that's smart the silk. Why is the silk? Does it not? Like absorb the shit.
Speaker 1:Well, I think more, to put it lightly, it's more like yeah, exactly, instead of smushing on your face like this, on like a regular, it sort of slips.
Speaker 2:It has a little more slip and glide, oh nice.
Speaker 1:And yeah, maybe there is a certain.
Speaker 2:maybe the silk is just like more breathable yeah, for your skin I think it is, and it's because, yeah, it doesn't doesn't get like super hot, right, yeah, and it stays cool at night. It stays cool. That's why that is nice our pillows.
Speaker 1:It's like Sanford and Son pillows, and then my silk pillow on top of it yeah, we have a lot of pillows themed from like 70s black comedies nice but yeah red fox. Yeah, that's the one that. Yeah, just like the rubber one underneath the sheet.
Speaker 3:Yeah silk is weird. I had an ex-girlfriend which had silk sheets. It just it feels good, but it is like an interesting feeling because we're so used to just poor cotton yeah, when you can afford the silk like this is too nice for me it's too nice, too slippery too slippery. Yeah, yeah, I slipped out of the bed satin sheets the same.
Speaker 1:I don't like those, but those aren't breathable. Those are synthetic, right satin's uh synthetic right yeah with their satin.
Speaker 2:There's eggshell, there's what like semi-gloss yeah, matte finish matte finish sheets you like. Okay, I'm done riffing okay, that's a new improv.
Speaker 3:By the way I'm done, it's called riff till I'm out of breath. I like that game Okay.
Speaker 1:We'll have to do that in another episode.
Speaker 2:Riff on one breath All right.
Speaker 1:So the next thing you may or may not have thought of your phone. Your phone touches everything, and everything that you've touched is on your hands, and then you're just going to put it right up to your face. I love that you're looking at my notes, I know.
Speaker 2:I got to my notes.
Speaker 3:I know I gotta oh that's gross, sorry, no, no, no, it's okay. Um, so you, yeah, perfect, eyeline, it does your phones. I mean, my hands are gross. I was getting sick a lot and then I was like god, my phone must be gross, because I feel like I would touch shit, then touch my phone, then put on my face and then notes are the gross thing with phone too, not even when your camera has is dirty, and then everything looks like hazy and shit. But then think about, like that's not even counting the side that's touching your face all the time.
Speaker 1:Oh exactly, that's not supposed to be touching anything it's like this just grinding it into. What do you use I?
Speaker 3:mean I like I feel weird because I don't want to ruin my phone with bleach alcohol, just regular alcohol.
Speaker 1:You can wipe it down.
Speaker 2:Every day you can have a little alcohol swabs or something like that, because, yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't wipe my phone, my pillowcases and my phone I definitely don't clean the amount of times. You should probably clean them, you know no.
Speaker 3:I don't know the last time I cleaned my phone. I don't think I have in a really long time, which is ironic because you wash your hands and then you touch a dirty phone.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh, my God, I know, or your clean hands.
Speaker 3:Clean the phone.
Speaker 1:And then your hands are filthy.
Speaker 2:And then it trades off and then I don't know If you time it all right you can wash your hands and then clean everything else with that single wash.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I like that. There's like a residual cleansing. That's very efficient, and then you wash your hands again and you're done.
Speaker 1:Yeah you have to wrap it. Yeah, yeah, I'm full circle.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The other option is that you could. To remedy that is just use your speakerphone. I don't even put the phone up to my ear anymore.
Speaker 2:No, I speakerphone it.
Speaker 3:Sometimes I speakerphone it without even putting it on speakerphone. I'll just hear it well enough.
Speaker 1:Oh right, yeah, which is kind of you're like, yeah, it's good hearing.
Speaker 3:Where were we? I was on a. You got to be careful with the speakerphone thing. Yeah, don't just do it anywhere.
Speaker 1:Not in public. Yeah, I mean not in like a closed space.
Speaker 3:My phone's dirty though they're like yeah, well, you're allowed and you're, but my phone's dirty, yeah, yeah. I don't want to get sick.
Speaker 2:Make my fucking skin gross, my pores are going to get clogged
Speaker 1:if I put it to my face, but you're going to get. You know, you got bacteria. Plus friction equals breakouts, especially on your cheek. Yeah, speaking of cheeks, Okay, dirty cheeks Speaking of dirty cheeks, sandra, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Have you washed other parts of yours other than your hands? Today?
Speaker 2:I've shaved my butt cheeks recently. You did no.
Speaker 1:I would have noticed that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you would have noticed that. Yeah, you would have noticed, since we sleep head to foot.
Speaker 3:I inspect him weekly. Yeah, yeah, strip down, I'm gonna check you um, yeah, so your partner's beard.
Speaker 1:I don't know if, when you guys started first dating, did you ever notice on mandy's face that she? Might have started breaking out from like all the heavy necking.
Speaker 3:You know I never she will get red, but I don't shave down far enough where it's like like just stubble, but it does. Yeah, the red she'll get, like the make out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't like it when you have the stubble either.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I try not to have stubble, but it's either this or like it's, either shaved completely or the beard.
Speaker 3:When was the last time you shaved completely?
Speaker 1:A few days ago oh you've actually razor shaved your face. No, no, no.
Speaker 2:No, just the beard.
Speaker 1:Just the beard trimmer? I haven't. Your face wasn't smooth. No, A couple of years ago maybe. Oh, okay.
Speaker 3:When I did the headshots, I think I got a razor. This company sent me a razor. I'm like I don't think I've ever shaved my face. You ever think it'll look good. And then you do it and you're like ew, ew, that's my fucking face.
Speaker 1:I'll take the bacteria beard if.
Speaker 3:I look good, that's where you got to give and take Where's being dirty worth it.
Speaker 1:It's on my face. You can get a beard facial, a gear facial.
Speaker 2:No, get a beard facial. Yeah, a gear facial. No, beard facial, oh, beard facial, I don't think you remember that one.
Speaker 1:It was a brian supine or whatever no, I missed that one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay um.
Speaker 1:So yeah, obviously you're gonna, um, you're gonna transfer other irritating products as well like your partner, yeah so how do?
Speaker 3:you cleanse that?
Speaker 2:how do you, yeah, how do you cleanse an irritating partner?
Speaker 3:you gotta exfoliate them from your life.
Speaker 2:Yes, this is my ex foliant right yeah dude
Speaker 1:we're almost done with the podcast, don't worry 38 more seconds, all right, so, uh, let's see here wait, so that was like separate pillowcases yeah basically like who's sleeping on the same pillowcase?
Speaker 2:that's what I'm saying. Like I was just thinking like you get like one king pillow.
Speaker 3:And then you're both like all right, it's like a bench yeah.
Speaker 2:Who's this bench pillow? I don't even like being in the same bed, much as on the same pillow.
Speaker 1:All right, so stress and facial tension. Those are actually two different things. But, clenching your jaw and furrowing your brow is going to make you look like you have more wrinkles and it's going to maybe make a little more jolly and it can impact your lymphatic drainage because it's tight. No, yeah, you don't have that it's like you're trying.
Speaker 3:Do you have do? You have botox no, I don't okay no, botox I do want to get. I have bags under my eyes and I was like are you tired? I'm like it's just my face it's hereditary, it's just hereditary. Yeah, I was looking up bliss blepharous or something. Yeah, yeah, I was like that's a lot.
Speaker 1:I can show you some exercises and then um and like, just massage moves that will help.
Speaker 3:it's not going to take, it's just the skin is too thin here, like my doctor was like oh, you have shiners from allergies. I'm like, all right, which I do have allergies, but it never makes that go away. And then I'm like, no, it's just my like. If you saw me as a kid, I had these eyes. I just look like tired all the time.
Speaker 2:You have hereditarily, like the bags, and then like kind of like yeah, they're um, yours are fine, they'll be like but sometimes like this thing will feel like it goes down to here, like this like I don't know, I'm not sure, Like if that's just no sleep or he's able to go on camera and not show some of this stuff.
Speaker 1:He's just got one of those faces that like doesn't pick up on so many flaws.
Speaker 3:That's the hardest thing when film my videos. Sometimes I'm like I'm not gonna like change lighting to make myself look better. But there's sometimes like my kitchen table if I don't wear a hat it looks just horrendous. Which is funny, because some people I'm doing videos like I'm 30 something. They're like this guy's fucking 50. They're not even like, they're not even focusing on the video, they're like your eyes are disgusting the comments are always the best.
Speaker 3:They're brutal and when I was single and I started doing silly videos, I was like I'm just disgusting in these because my dating app success is going to shit.
Speaker 1:But anyways, I was like yeah, the blood.
Speaker 3:The blood sort of plastic, you know.
Speaker 1:But you can get filler though yeah, which I don't want to be putting chemicals in my eyes.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got to be careful with filler around your eyes because it's it doesn't go away necessarily yeah, it's kind of weird how it just like it dissolves, but it's just in your fucking face, yeah, and you know, and around your eyes your skin's thin, like you were saying, and so you can see it.
Speaker 1:I mean, there are people who I've worked on who've had like a little worm line underneath their eyes, sorry, my eyes.
Speaker 3:Um yeah, that's gross you're an allergic person. You know I have a clogged tear duct on this side and allergies, so like it's a whole mess. We're getting too internal of the eyes right now, but this eye will like water I don't know where, but anyways. I'll be on stage my eyes just watering. It's like he's crying.
Speaker 1:This is crazy. People are like you're doing great God he has such range.
Speaker 3:Look, People are like you're doing great. God, he has such range. Look at him.
Speaker 2:He's an act crying actor yeah, he's laughing and crying, yeah.
Speaker 1:So also stress cortisol. Oh, we know that it increases the inflammation of your body, which goes into your gut as well, which we'll get into later.
Speaker 2:The cortisol is bad, right, yes, Cortisol is not bad.
Speaker 1:It's just that when it comes around too much in the wrong times, yeah, okay, yeah, you know cortisol if you, if you're waking up in the middle of the night and you're up, you might have a huge cortisol, cortisol like spike in the middle of the night. Yeah, figure that out.
Speaker 3:You know, I always hear that I do. It's funny like I read about stress. I'm like I do everything to combat stress and all that shit still happens. So I'm like I don't know what the fuck to do. You're like, okay, what I love. These like generic you should work out. Or you know, meditate like I do everything. And I'm still up at 3am just fucking beaming like wide awake. I got chorus.
Speaker 1:I am cortisol, cortisol, all right, we're cortisol my name's cur assault um, so yeah, oh wait, I lost my note here.
Speaker 2:Hold on that sounds like a a really short uh sunscreen.
Speaker 1:Kurt assault boom done, boom done, not roasted not roasted, still has more breath. Yeah, he's out of breath um, so yeah, so it's gonna. Oh, so what can you do about it? Um, obviously you can try the things that you spoke of, which don't necessarily always work. But as far as clenching your jaw and stuff like that you can use. I do something called buckle massage where I go inside the mouth and I massage the jaw you go in your mouth. I go into your mouth.
Speaker 3:Oh, you do this to people. Yeah, that's what I do. Oh, wow, that's my money job. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I do skin care, and facial massage is my main thing.
Speaker 3:She'll actually go in there and like yeah, loosen it up, it does help. Do it to him right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean you've said that it's helped your headaches.
Speaker 2:It's helped my headaches, tension headaches. I don't know where her fingers have been. She's not going to do it now. She's like Doritos as she's doing it. What it would you like? She just have a cool ranch and then that's. That's. That's a good idea yeah so yeah.
Speaker 1:So buckle massage gua sha is good. It also helps to just um just increase the circulation. I'm sure mandy has a million gua sha, so it's a little like you know, jade, maybe, oh, the rollers, and you put them in the freezer. Well yeah, you can use the roller or you can use the um, there's like a flat little, they're in different shapes and then you just sort of drag them along your face oh yeah I have one actually this met this product they sent me.
Speaker 3:It's like a metal disc and there's like a handle and I leave it in the fridge and then I do it on my face oh okay, yeah it's, yeah it's pretty neat, so I did that. Under it's for like swelling and shit.
Speaker 1:Is that the same thing? Oh right, right, right, I mean it's similar. But yeah, I like that. Or are you talking?
Speaker 3:what is the thing that? What's on hers or the one you're talking about?
Speaker 1:Well, they can be made out of metal. They can also. Good for your eyes, by the way is to have always have something in the freezer spoons?
Speaker 3:yeah, but make sure you get a little bit of something on there, otherwise you're gonna end up like that kid on uh christmas story.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, what happened? Well, he ended up having uh. He went to the porn later on and then he died. Oh, he's not my real life. Oh, he got his tongue.
Speaker 3:That's what it was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, wasn't that guy a comedian. I thought I met him at the haha and he was doing stand-up for a little while. The red-haired kid right.
Speaker 2:I think so. Is that who we're talking about? Oh?
Speaker 1:no, it was the other. I don't know. I don't remember which kid got their tongue stuck to the flagpole.
Speaker 3:I know your talk. You're basically saying, just so it doesn't get stuck. That's like Dumb and Dumber with the flagpole.
Speaker 1:That yeah, he, uh. What is he? What is he? The ski lift? He puts his tongue on the pole oh look frost.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't remember that. You know I do that. And then it's. They always say all like the circulation. It looks like exactly the same, so I don't know. I think I'm at the point I need surgery you don't need surgery, it's just, it's your look it's my, it's my aged. Look, I think I'll look good at like 60.
Speaker 1:You're going to grow into it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think I'm like that's like what it said. I'm like, all right, I didn't get the 20s, I'm basically done with the 30s. I think my late 40s I'm going to look pretty fucking good.
Speaker 1:What are you like in your late?
Speaker 3:38.
Speaker 1:You're 38? Your hands? You have the hands of like a 22 year old.
Speaker 3:That's never been outside, yeah, why.
Speaker 1:I don't know, your skin just looks like baby hands.
Speaker 3:Dude. My skin here is smooth. It's creepy how smooth like some parts are.
Speaker 1:It's slimy yeah. No but your hands really seriously like your hands look very like, don't his hands look really?
Speaker 2:young. Yeah, they look very young yeah.
Speaker 3:I mean to be good. That's going to be huge.
Speaker 2:That's going to be magazine worthy, Cool voice and then you can do voiceovers and then also hand inserts hand models handovers, handovers.
Speaker 3:I meant Nickelodeon doing hand inserts when I'm 60.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't call them hand inserts at Nickelodeon anymore.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3:Like my hands in mitts. That's crazy.
Speaker 2:He fingered me with the meat. Okay, it's enough. No, you're good, you're good.
Speaker 1:Continue to riff between I had wrong riffs.
Speaker 2:I did the Mickey Mouse riff with the big gloves and Nickelodeon. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:Riff dyslexia, you're doing it backwards.
Speaker 1:Rifflexia. I like it. That's what it was, yeah it was a rifflex. So some people think that biotin is really good for your skin and I'm not saying it's not, but taking certain vitamins like that can throw your system off and trigger acne. So you kind of just got to be careful.
Speaker 3:Really, I used to take biotin. You did. Did you take it for your?
Speaker 1:hair.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just took it a long time ago and then I don't know what it did, but I think I was doing it more for my hair. I think yeah yeah, I wasn't even bawling, I was. It just seemed like a good thing to take, and then, yeah, I don't know. That's interesting about your hormones, though yeah, um or acne. I never had acne, knock on wood. I was gonna ask you that and I forgot to ask you, so you didn't have acne.
Speaker 1:I can tell you don't have any acne scar or anything like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I never I'll get zits, I think, but the but it's like never, like anything crazy I really didn't either, and I don't think you really did either.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, yeah I mean, I had like like breakouts and big pimples from like just eating garbage. But like one-offs are yeah fine, yeah yeah yeah, I still.
Speaker 3:It's kind of weird when I still get them. I'm like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1:oh yeah, what age does it stop? It doesn't, it doesn't stop. You see your grandma with a big zit. You're like pop your goddamn zit. Too many Cheez-Its again. Nana pop your zit so, basically, the takeaway from all that is that not every beauty supplement is good for every single person so just you know, keep track of what you're doing so which ones do you recommend then? Well, oh, you mean like beauty supplements yeah oh, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 1:Um definitely want to take vitamin C. It's great for your skin from internally, yeah, but also putting it externally, like you said, you were doing it with your scrub I haven't done the scrub yet.
Speaker 3:The exfoliant it's on a. It's there's like a teardropper with it oh, okay, so there's.
Speaker 1:No, it's not a serum, it's a scrub it's like a chemical exfoliant.
Speaker 3:Oh okay, that's what it is, yeah it's not a scrub, it's not like, but the word exfoliant reminded me when I had scrubs, but I couldn't find the word.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because vitamin C can make you more sensitive to the sun, but it also, having enough of it in your body and on your skin, can actually protect your skin in some ways to neutralize the free radicals.
Speaker 3:You know what I want to do. I want to do it on half my face for like a month to see if it even does anything, I like that, and then I can be like, because sometimes you do that shit and you're like do I even look different right now?
Speaker 2:yeah, I know. It's kind of interesting though, because if it does happen, it happens gradually, and so you wouldn't even you never know you could sleep with one side of your face on a silk pillow, the other side yeah, there you go on a muslin one side one side's old me the other side's new yeah, silk and exfoliants, pillow, and then now my left half of my face matches my young hands and the other half they're like.
Speaker 3:from one angle he looks 60, the other angle he looks like a 12 year old.
Speaker 2:Why'd you get two sets of headshots? Yeah, you'll see.
Speaker 3:I'm a pedophile case in one human. I look 6 and 90.
Speaker 1:You can play both characters. That's fucking hilarious. All right, so this brings us to our next one over exfoliating.
Speaker 2:I'm so over exfoliating. Yeah, I'm over that, yeah.
Speaker 3:You're exfoliating, I'm over.
Speaker 1:Even doing like too many scrubs, too much exfoliating, like with the vitamin.
Speaker 3:C. It can irritate your skin Makes sense and it damages the barrier of your skin too, so yeah, the barrier of your skin too. So yeah, you're right, you're like sandpapering it constantly.
Speaker 1:It makes sense plus, you guys shave, although you were saying that you don't really talk.
Speaker 2:You don't really shave I just use the beard trimmer all the way down. Yeah, when I had my exfoliant.
Speaker 3:You know that. What's that one, that apricot one you always see at the store. Yeah, let's say knives whenever I would shave lower, I would take advantage. No, not like like, shave like if my buzzer, then I would take advantage to get the exfoliant and get in there to get all the shit out. Okay, does that make sense?
Speaker 1:no, what tell me again so?
Speaker 3:like when my beard would get thicker. You know washing your face, I'll just wash it with my normal face wash. But then if I shaved with like a one on my face and the hair was like less, that's when I would take use my exfoliant to try to penetrate right that skin that wasn't probably getting it as much, so that's really good.
Speaker 1:That's very thoughtful.
Speaker 3:Thank you. You care about your skin, I do. It's an investment. I care about my skin, I try.
Speaker 1:So yeah, so just go ahead and don't exfoliate especially. I don't think you need to exfoliate more than two times a week. I don't see why even three times that would be. It seems like too much. It's just too stripping for your skin. Yeah, I would never do that. Um, food and hormones. We were talking about hormones, but, um, a big one that I see with my clients is dairy, and if someone's breaking out a ton and they've got like those little white heads underneath the skin, one of the first things I'll ask them especially if it's like in certain areas of their faces are you having a?
Speaker 3:lot of ice cream with milk exactly. Are you eating ice cream? They're like no.
Speaker 1:Their fingers have bits on them Like sprinkles. So yeah, so whey protein can trigger acne as well, but sugar for sure can mess up your skin.
Speaker 3:And it also ages your skin a lot. I never I mean I've taken whey protein forever. I've never been a person, though, where food triggers breakouts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, same.
Speaker 3:Like really only mine was like sports related, where it's like you know where you sweat more and shit like that, which you can't really do much. But I've been knock on wood. I've never had the the ice cream pimple face or anything like that which is good, yeah, it's interesting, though, because I feel bad for people who do get that oh yeah, and there are a lot of people.
Speaker 3:I think mandy she's like, oh, I've been eating shitty. And she can tell. I think people who are skin sensitive they can see. Like that, they can see. Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Well, the sugar will actually like break down the collagen in your skin and it's just like something called glycation and so like the matrix in your skin kind of just gets all like weird and then it just looks older and doesn't have the same flexibility, the same collagen and elastin and stuff like that.
Speaker 3:I take collagen too.
Speaker 1:You do.
Speaker 3:It's the naked one. You know the naked brand.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I take that it's weird. It's bovine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were doing that for a while. Now we're veganing, so now we're doing like pea protein.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, I've been doing. I actually have pea protein as well that I take. Actually, the only protein I have is not, it's the naked pea protein, and then I have the organe vegan one. Okay, yeah, that's funny, I brought that up. Um, yeah, the the collagen. So the collagen does that work, though?
Speaker 1:for your skin. Yeah, I don't know honestly. It's just like another powder that I take and I'm just like I was having it for protein, just to add extra protein right right the older you get, the more you say you know you're supposed to have like what, like a gram of protein for every pound or something.
Speaker 3:It's kind of a lot it is really kind of a lot I mean I track my macros and everything and even eating like 180, that's a lot of protein in one day. Yeah, like you have to actively every meal, just be eating a lot of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bodybuilders sometimes will wake up in the middle of the night and eat protein. Yeah, it's disgusting, so that there's nothing breaking down.
Speaker 3:I had a trainer once and he told years and years ago he's like, yeah, if you have you know, just wake up. Or before, before bed, I was like eating. I was like half asleep eating fucking ground turkey and rice and I'm like what am I doing this for? You know, you're like the fuck but well, everybody battles addiction differently yeah, that's simple.
Speaker 2:I'm just really man. I eat protein in the middle of the night. It's like I think you have a problem?
Speaker 3:No, not at all. Yeah, you gave up cocaine. I just like turkey, I just like chicken breast, but I would do that.
Speaker 2:It would be nothing. We used to try to get. Two grams Do nothing but tuna cans, eggs, basically anything that you could quantify the amount of protein in, right, you know, and just have that all day long and Zac Efron brought that up on a show once with like you got in really good shape, what'd you do?
Speaker 3:and he's talking about eating. Well, and he said it gets to the point where it's like chicken breast and the healthier, healthier food is. It's hard to eat like fast, you know, otherwise I'll sit there for like 20 minutes just eating chicken because it's so dry. But anyways, on the show he was like he put the chicken in the rice in a blender and would just drink it oh god disgusting, but I'm like, I kind of like get it though I was like it's so like brown rice and chicken without like a shit ton of like sauce or whatever sriracha I'll sit there for like an hour eating it my body's like I'm not gonna sell sell the baby, whatever.
Speaker 1:I'm not even gonna help Literally, I'm giving you nothing.
Speaker 3:I want you to choke on this.
Speaker 1:All right. The last one on here is gut health, and we were talking about that. So if you've got a gut imbalance and that seems to be more and more on people's minds. It's like the gut we were talking about the biome earlier.
Speaker 2:I don't know if that was on camera or have enough like of the right bacteria in your system, especially in your gut a it's going to affect the way that you feel, because you make uh, what do you make? Serotonin, yeah, which we only just know tonin, tonin, sarah and tonin adding it at the end.
Speaker 1:I want to make sure you know tonin. Tonin, I knew the word. Yeah, I still want you to think I don't know the word.
Speaker 3:No, that's good, okay, cool yeah, I have a probiotic, you do. I get anxiety and I looked up the whole thing about your gut health. It didn't really do anything. Okay, I don't have like gut issue anxiety, I think. I just have like kind of general anxiety.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's not like out of nowhere. I'm just freaking out and my stomach hurt, although there's been times where I was real anxious and my stomach did hurt after.
Speaker 1:So I think it was from right away.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I don't do the probiotic, but that's.
Speaker 1:Well, if you have problems, it's a good thing to do. You can also, you know, have fiber in your diet.
Speaker 2:Fermented foods are really good and obviously drinking lots of water.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, all right. So now we have a game that we're going to play, all right. So we're going to test and see what you've actually learned today. It's called yes or Total BS. Got seven questions, let's see if you were actually paying attention.
Speaker 3:What's your guess? Yeah, four to eight.
Speaker 1:Yes, All right? Yes, or Total BS. All right. Your boyfriend's beard acts like a natural exfoliator.
Speaker 3:It's basically a free facial. Uh, well, that's bs. Yeah, that's bullshit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a stupid bs um, yeah, obviously it's going to cause you irritation. Bacteria and beer burn all right. So if number two, if your skincare routine is perfect, it doesn't really matter what you eat that's bs.
Speaker 3:No, come on.
Speaker 1:Come on, dude okay, I'm gonna say for some people it might be true, yeah well, if your skincare routine is perfect, doesn't matter what you eat.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean let's, let's exclude the diet. The dairy, the dairy's it people yeah, the dzps unless they wanted. Their skincare routine is somehow better. It's so good that those would be eliminated fast, but I think I'll still call bs okay, yeah, yeah, you're right, it's total bs I don't think humans eating dairy is good for cows I think you have a really good point. Well, they need to deal with it. Then stop making such good dairy, all right the b.
Speaker 2:I know children, their kids food is delicious. Yeah, all right. The tighter your skin feels after children.
Speaker 1:Their kids food is delicious, yeah, all right. The tighter your skin feels after cleansing or exfoliating well, you already saw the answer but the cleaner it is I didn't see it.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna say yes total bs the tighter your skin feels after cleansing or foliating.
Speaker 1:That just means probably is dry yeah, you stripped your skin, yeah, you took the barrier, is saying no thanks.
Speaker 2:And if you hear too much it strips my skin a lot of a lot of things.
Speaker 3:Is that a bad thing, though?
Speaker 1:it's not great when you're like when you clean, and it just feels a little tighter well, if you yeah, you, I mean you can feel like if your natural oils are completely stripped uh and your skin feels super tight oh, I just kind of like that feeling yeah, I know it's like. I think that's a dude thing. You know, wash your face with Irish spring.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly that's funny yeah it's funny.
Speaker 1:What's that? Isn't it great? It's great to cut with a knife. That's my favorite thing.
Speaker 2:That's the best.
Speaker 3:ASMR video. That's what you should end with ASMR skincare.
Speaker 1:Oh, I like that.
Speaker 3:There you skincare. Oh, I like that. There you go, that's really good.
Speaker 1:It's your clips, it's just you squeezing whole bottles of shampoo, yeah I could come up with a bunch of stuff. Okay, so let's see number four stress breakouts only happen when you're feeling damn it. They put, I put the thing to yeah, you gotta when you're feeling overwhelmed stress breakouts only happen when you're feeling overwhelmed.
Speaker 3:Uh well, no, I'm gonna say bs okay, yeah, stress hormones are sneaky.
Speaker 1:Even if you feel chill, your cortisol could be really high right, right. So you can feel fine, but your cortisol is doing its own thing absolutely how the fuck is that your body just is trying to regulate you as best it can, and your brain is probably trying to convince you that you're feeling just great.
Speaker 3:Oh. So your body, your brain, your brain trying to say like, oh, we're fine, even though you're, but like that's a good time where you're like, okay, if I'm like going to listen to my body, you releasing cortisol. What the hell is that doing for me? Like what you know? Is that like cause, if your brain feels good and your cortisol is high, how do you appropriately react to lower the cortisol if your brain doesn't think you need to lower it?
Speaker 2:Do you act? Do you? My instinct would be just to move movement your body. No, no, well, like that too, if you want to set up a like a moving or like a moving truck or something like that, but I mean like getting up and just moving around, walking, exercise, expelling energy, I think can be like a good way to regulate that. The cortisol.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean. But you see, what I'm saying is like how do you know when it's high?
Speaker 1:Well, your face would be freaking out.
Speaker 3:You'd be bloated you're not sleeping properly, but your mind, you might think you're fine.
Speaker 1:That's me. I'm like oh, I'm great. You know, I had therapy twice this week. I feel fantastic. Meanwhile, I'm not sleeping.
Speaker 2:Diarrhea. I feel so good I'm smiling Spray farting, sharting Everything Puking, actively puking, telling people that I don't gamble, yet I still willingly just my pants Go ahead. It's okay, I don't like this.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, hold on, let's go back.
Speaker 2:There we go.
Speaker 3:She says do you follow Maddie Chamberlain? All right, let's go to number five.
Speaker 1:What's that? Oh, do you follow Maddie Chamberlain All right. No Gut health can affect your skin even if your digestion feels fine? And the answer is wait. So the question is true or false? Gut health can affect your skin even if your digestion feels okay.
Speaker 2:Yes, I'm gonna say yes.
Speaker 3:Gut health can affect your skin, even if your it's a tricky way to word it Digestion feels okay. I mean I Like if nothing feels off, if nothing, if I'd say no, but it seems like yeah, you were wrong?
Speaker 1:Yes, that's. The thing is that you don't have to be bloated or gassy for your gut to be quietly triggering breakouts.
Speaker 3:Quietly triggering or inflammation. That's me in a comedy crowd, quietly triggering, hold on.
Speaker 1:All right. Last question you can exfoliate daily, as long as it's gentle and natural.
Speaker 3:Swap exfoliate for masturbate, as long as it's gentle and natural.
Speaker 2:It's probably more exfoliating if you think yeah yeah, um no, you can't I would say not I'm gonna say total, yes, yeah, total yes I'm gonna have to come up with the whole other sound for that now uh no, total bs.
Speaker 1:Even gentle exfoliants are going to strip that barrier that we were talking about and you're I want a cross-section of skin to understand what you're talking about.
Speaker 3:When you could, you see barrier.
Speaker 1:So it goes your dermis, your epidermis, and then oil natural oils right yeah, pretty much basically got it, yeah, so yeah, oil yeah, yeah, I have a, I don't know I went to school for architecture.
Speaker 3:So I think in sections to like when you cut through a wall. You have to have the parts. So that's like you know me coming in here and exfoliating, and then I'm ripping all the paint off and then I do it again and more of the drywall and I say no I'm fucking bleeding and yeah, but then you like leave it for like three or four days you come back. There's more paint, the paint's more drywall. Yeah, it's back there you.
Speaker 2:There you go. You can return anything to Home Depot if you have the receipt. Is what we're trying to tell you.
Speaker 1:That's true, I've seen it.
Speaker 3:Even things that you didn't buy there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, all right. Well, that was the quiz I dig it.
Speaker 2:I feel good about that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel I can get these points off my license.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, your insurance should come down, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I dig it man well, we first of all thank you for being on the cast yeah, thank you for having me where people can find you where people can find you on Instagram at Maddie Chimber we'll have your name written down.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just like my videos, watch them, share them, because apparently that's all the algorithm wants. That's it. Yeah, tour dates. They're in the bio somewhere, I don't know.
Speaker 2:He's got tour dates in the bio. Check out his stuff. He's super funny.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm going to do a shower video or a skincare video now.
Speaker 1:I hope skincare video.
Speaker 3:Now I hope that you do, based off all this, tag me in it, please, you have more followers. Exfoliate with my writer, aka beautician. You should do just analogies for all skincare. This thing, the, the construction that's a good one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this is like exfoliating too much, and then you're fucking sanding a wall.
Speaker 2:I dig that one. Yeah, what would be the? Uh, what would be the t-square of the of the skincare world?
Speaker 1:I don't even know what that means like the guasha or like like something that you'd use so much.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's all. Much of my architecture is the t-square. Yeah see, I wouldn't um, what's something that's used constantly, that uh that can't be overused?
Speaker 3:yeah, yeah, yeah, is there something that well, I guess seen some washes maybe?
Speaker 2:okay, I would assume that uh, the t-square is like the uh. Basically, it's just like the unit of like the instrument is used to like, make like right angles like the guru part.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. So if I got soap and shampoo I mix that where do? I put it what's a, what's that trendy skin thing that you don't like? Oh um like shit, that's like this is gonna do wonders.
Speaker 1:And then you're like I'm still on the fence about the beef tallow, would it? That's a big thing that people are using now is beef tallow. I'm not.
Speaker 3:I'm not like on their face? Yeah, on their face, oh wow I have some, I'm trying it.
Speaker 1:I'm finding out that, uh, someone's building a building next door.
Speaker 2:Um, they're doing noise arc 2.0 next door it's a reboot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's three animals per species what's another one that I don't like? Um, that's a good question. I wish that I had prepared more for that but the beef tallow is. That is one of the current ones that people are all talking about the masks.
Speaker 3:Masks are great.
Speaker 1:I see girls doing all that crap yeah, like the korean, cheap masks and stuff like that yeah, I think those are good.
Speaker 3:I bought a peel mask where you put it. Put it on it's orange and then you let it dry and then you peel it off and what's that supposed to leave behind something? Or take off the stuff out of your pores uh, you know, I think it's supposed to be pores, but I don't know yeah, but that one felt like it was speaking of the tightness that felt tight after maybe I was peeling off too much maybe it took a little bit of too much oil with it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then biori is the other one that I'm not crazy about. Everybody you know. You remember biori pore strips wherever, and oh yeah it's really just taking the very, very surface of your pore and then like showing the little bit, because the pore goes down.
Speaker 1:Like that you can't just like the blackheads yeah, you can't just rip it out and then, like, the whole blackhead comes out right you know you have to get in someone in there and underneath it and push it isn't every pore a follicle, or yeah, so that's, that's why like it.
Speaker 2:It follows the it follows the tail yeah pig's tail?
Speaker 1:yes, yeah, pig's tail. And the last thing I I did and I saw people do ice they put their face in ice water I see the benefit of doing it um just novelty no, it does have a purpose because it's tightening um and, like the it, it makes everything sort of constrict, which is going to move the blimp in your face for, for puffiness.
Speaker 3:But the lymph.
Speaker 1:If you also have capillary issues, if you tend to break capillaries easily or your skin is sensitive, that really extreme cold's not great. Any extreme temperatures aren't really great on your skin for the most part.
Speaker 3:Well, I guess what? Well, that's pretty much it.
Speaker 2:Again.
Speaker 1:I thank you so much for coming today. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2:It's always fun to have friends on to riff with us, and we make them show up, so that's cool.
Speaker 3:We should all go wash our face on camera, yeah.
Speaker 1:All right. Well, this will be out probably tomorrow, because I don't have one in the can. Oh nice.
Speaker 3:Hit me up for mouth massages. Perfect, we'll do.
Speaker 1:Doritos mouth massage. Okay, yes.
Speaker 3:You should do flavored mouth massages.
Speaker 1:That'd be funny. That's actually a really funny idea. Do you like chocolate or vanilla? You just dunk your fingers in syrup. Thanks for having me my pleasure, yeah, so I will see you guys next week. Bye.
