EP. 116 Skincare Detox!/GUEST COMEDIAN Precious Hall
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when a comedian gives up alcohol, sugar, meat, and recreational substances all at once? Precious Hall returns to our studio looking absolutely radiant, and she's not afraid to share her transformation secrets.
Precious opens up about her unexpected battle with eczema in her 40s that led her down a path of ancestral skincare remedies mainstream beauty brands rarely discuss. From beef tallow to black seed oil, we explore traditional approaches that have stood the test of time across cultures. The results speak for themselves—Precious is glowing!
The conversation takes fascinating turns as we discuss beauty practices with deep cultural roots and how they're being adapted to serve diverse communities, including transgender individuals who often find themselves excluded from conventional beauty spaces. These off-the-grid techniques remind us that effective skincare solutions often existed long before modern product formulations.
Beyond skin-deep transformations, Precious shares the surprising benefits of her lifestyle changes, including experiencing vivid dreams for the first time in years. Her candid reflections on maintaining these changes while visiting family showcase the very real challenges of balancing personal health choices with cultural traditions and social expectations.
We also venture into Precious's recent camping adventures—a surprising new hobby that's expanding her comfort zone and creating unexpected joy. Her hilarious take on RV camping versus tent camping perfectly captures the spirit of trying new experiences as we age.
Whether you're curious about natural skincare alternatives, contemplating your own lifestyle changes, or just need a good laugh, this episode delivers bite-sized wisdom wrapped in genuine conversation. Subscribe now and join our journey at the intersection of wellness, beauty, and comedy!

Speaker 3It was a lot of stuff you named and I did all of that stuff, and so I'm very happy to say that I am currently not doing any of that stuff. Well, you can tell. Thank you, it's almost two weeks now, y'all. I said I was trying to do the Daniel fast, but I'm calling mine more of the Danielle fast Cause I couldn't cut out dairy you know, but I'm not eating meat, I'm not on drugs, I'm not, you know, like um eating sugar right now.
Speaker 3So it's supposed to be a 21 day thing, but I'm just going to do it until I go to Texas at the end of the month.

Precious's skin transformation journey
Speaker 1Okay, so we're doing more sort of bites of skincare stuff. So you're going to pick one of these five topics and you get to pick whichever one you want. Okay, I will go with this one, Okay, and then open it and tell me what number it is.
Speaker 3This is number four, which is Queer, queer, ancestral.
Speaker 1What is queer? Ancestral and off the grid beauty practices that mainstream Skincare ignores but should absolutely respect. Now, why am I putting out the course?
Speaker 3We're getting too much celebration.
Speaker 1Unless you want to pick another one, because now we're gonna have to talk about queers I don't really know I don't care.
Speaker 1No, it's fine, let's do it I asked chat gpt for some off the wall topics if these were on the wall, they'd fall right off. That's true, all right, so the first thing we're going to talk about is things that the industry misses, um, like do-it-yourself stuff, old techniques, and then also gender non-conforming rituals. Okay, so like not everything starts at Sephora, so we can just start at tallow bombs and bone marrow, and I'm not sure why this is in that category.
Speaker 3Maybe that's why I picked this because I just got beef tallow you did. Maybe that's why I picked this, because I just got beef tallow you did. Yes, because y'all I did. Another reason I did this because I was having random like reactions, I don't know, outbreaks whatever, and I was trying to figure out what the hell is going on with me. And so then I, I like, went to the emergency like what the fuck? Because I was canceling shows because I was having breakouts on my face and neck and I was, and they told me it was eczema. And I've never had a skin, nothing in my whole life. And now, in my early 40s, they're like eczema. And so the lady that was there, the nurse, was saying that she has it and she gets it here and here and she uses this beef tallow.
Speaker 2So I just anything people tell me I'm ordering, I'm ordering beef tallow jojoba oil I'm on it, I'm on it. I've got colic acid, everything people tell me because I am paranoid.
Speaker 3I still don't know what causes it, but I haven't had it since I've been doing this.
Speaker 1I was going to say because you're off of meat now, right?
Speaker 3Yes, I'm off of meat and sugars and alcohol, so you're not putting it on your face, though. Yeah, oh, the beef. Yeah, you're still putting it on your face, but that's not me, that's literally a cream.
Speaker 1Right, but it's from Beef. I have it on my face too, because somebody gave some to Sandra, who gave it to me Really. And we're vegan right now and I just don't wear it yet. Yeah, but we moved to the desert so my skin is so dry, so if I don't put something, like that on your skin looks fucking amazing I'm not lying, but I'm telling you everything.
Speaker 3people say I just do it, so they're like.
Speaker 2she's like yeah, I put it on my face every morning.
Speaker 3So in the mornings, after I wash my face and put them on, I'm putting it on at night.
Speaker 2When.
Speaker 3I'm more stressed. I'm putting it on. It looks great, thanks, I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1If it works for cows, like you see, little cows too, yeah.
Speaker 3I mean, I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just doing it Okay good, Because I'm paranoid.
Speaker 1No, you look amazing. You look so young. You don't look paranoid. Yeah, you don't look paranoid.
Speaker 2Thank you, guys.
Speaker 3I think it's also kind of one of those things through it. So, yeah, yeah, I did look it up and I'm like well, it sounds good. You know, I'm gonna try anything.
Speaker 1Yeah, seriously, I'll try I have eczema and like some weird uh stuff that's just going away on my arm. I'm gonna try it on my arm and see if it doesn't make it worse.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, use it because that's what the lady told.
Speaker 1I not do that because sometimes, sometimes certain oils make the thing that I have um make it worse. So, but I'm gonna try it anyways, just to see what happens.
Speaker 3It can't hurt I mean it can't hurt, I mean, but yes, I was canceling shows, like I literally was looking like a sloth, like it would just start, like my skin would just start looking I don't know. And then like scaly and and pilly, and then I don't know, I just, and I tried everything, like one, one month I cut out all alcohol, then I cut out everything except seafood, then I cut out drug. I'm know what I'm going to, just try to bring God in it.
Speaker 2Like what if it's Daniel Fast?
Speaker 3Because clearly I'm missing something. You know, I'm really trying. It was depressing.
Speaker 1Well, you look good and this is probably why because I guess the tallow right. It's similar to your own sebum, which is the oil, and people have actually not testing it on us. We're testing it on them.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so funny, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1So there's omega fats and barriers support, which means it's sealing in all of the juices into your skin, oh good, Right and then there's no fillers in it, it's just pure ingredients. So let's see when does the queer and trans skin care come in? Somebody named Leola Davis, she's an LA esthetician that's here and she works mainly with trans clients. She focuses on hormone-friendly care and post-op scar massage. That's why because it reduces the inflammation and it helps with the scarring.
Speaker 3Oh, okay, because of probably men with the birds and shit.
Speaker 1You know what I'm saying oh right, that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Maybe she's helping with that skin and the scars.
Speaker 2Yeah, and then they're taking stuff off of things. Yeah, but even just scar tissue itself, like how does that? Is it because it's like? Is it because it's like a um, an organic from from another living animal that could it possibly mimic and maybe actually like?
Speaker 1well, it does mimic our own sebum, which is okay yeah, so for sure it's gonna mimic your hardly new them.
Speaker 2Okay, I had to say it.
Speaker 1I'm sorry even hardly new.
Speaker 3Come on, but I wonder what made her just focus on trans clients. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1Let's see, because, I guess because they're often left out of spaces that serve cis women. We're cis women, right? What is cis women? I think it's just like I was going to ask you.
Queer ancestral beauty practices
Speaker 1I don't have a cis I I'm all women sis, you know I hate those damn things it's horrible they're just puffy and it's like, yeah, get off my back. Literally, I had a cyst on my back oh, it's sick, I gotta get them on my arms. Cystic acne, yeah, cystic, no, cystic, thanks no she says no, I reject that joke. Oh my god, no, I love you. Okay, so let's look at some of the other stuff. There's neem, licorice, rice, water, black seed oil, which I'm a big proponent of black seed oil.
Speaker 3Now, what do I do with that?
Speaker 1Because I'm about to get it.
Speaker 2He keeps it by the side of the bed. Sorry, alex, I hit the microphone. Can we start over again?
Speaker 1All right, keep it by the bed. It smells very much like like cumin. Yeah, it is, it's cumin, black cumin seed oil that has been around for a thousand and million years. Um, it's, it has like a hundred different uses. Uh, it's great for inflammation.
Speaker 2I actually use it on my legs and did it last night really um because my legs get sore.
Speaker 1Sometimes I get like um, like uh, what do you call it? Restless leg syndrome and I feel like all my nerves are just kind of like, and then I put it on and in about five minutes it calms it down. If you have muscle soreness, it helps to bring it down. It's really good. So it's just a good natural oil to have. Always get it cold pressed and in a glass bottle. Cold pressed in a glass bottle.
Speaker 3You can always text me and ask me Okay, because I'm going to mess that up, I'm going to have something and you just use it. Just when you need it, I use it whenever I need it.
Speaker 1Yeah, you can put it pretty much anywhere on your body. Really, yeah, and it's just anti-inflammatory.
Speaker 3I love your necklace. I know that's so awful.
Speaker 1Oh no, thank you, but your necklace you're just so fly. I love it, so are you, I love it. I feel like we could switch clothes and we would look really awesome.
Speaker 3Well, baby, you don't have to wear a bra. I'm going to mess the whole thing up. You did notice I'm not wearing one. The whole thing up with this big dumbass bra. You look great.
Speaker 1I'm trying to keep the nipples just sort of in no, show them, show them off, All right.
Speaker 2This isn't Nippel-O-Dian Boom. All right, we're not sponsored by them.
Speaker 1All right. So, yeah, licorice white. Uh, let's see, black seed oil, it's, it's all passed down wisdom and then, um, so basically, yeah, just embrace whatever works for you. Uh, this was a very short subject.
Speaker 3Um, apparently so do you think alcohol too? Like so, if I'm coming off of this and I'm trying to figure out what triggers it, so I should do like one thing at a time, right. So like, if I'm a drink, just drink for a while to see if that's triggering, it triggering it. Yeah, I would say get off of yeah, because if I'm not on anything home and then my mom's gonna cook all this shit I say, yeah, you have to stop everything and then introduce one thing at a time yeah and now you're going back home, so you have to choose what to introduce, because it's, I mean, the food, yeah it's gonna be the food, but then it's gonna be the alcohol, because you have to have to deal with your family.
Speaker 2Yeah, um, and then who knows what else you know? Trick like the sugar the sugar because I keep snacks by the bed?
Speaker 3yeah, it's so bad that I still even have a bag of snacks. I'm not even eating because I'm not, you know, but it's bad that I was snagged. But I do clearly remember when I came here and you named all that stuff, I'm like, oh shit, this is why I messed up.
Speaker 1I do all of this stuff. You probably can't sleep because you're having the sugar and the sugar raises your blood sugar, right, your cortisol spikes. Because I'm sleeping, right now I'm even having dreams. I never dreamed on drugs. I never dreamed on drugs. I just felt like I'd die and come back to life.
Speaker 3I'm dreaming, guys. It's a beautiful thing, and remembering them.
Speaker 1And remembering the dreams yeah, are they not scary ones, though Some?
Speaker 3of them, but it's cool Because at least I can dream.
Speaker 1That means you're going into that phase of your sleep where you're actually getting some rest.
Speaker 3Yes, right, it's so cool that maybe I need to leave, but I can't leave everything alone, y'all.
Speaker 2I'm always telling myself that's what I do. And then and I'll be honest, I don't think I've. Maybe it's just the weed I don't. I have as long as I'm. I don't have weed all the time.
Speaker 3as long as I'm alive, you don't have weed all the time and I love weed so much, but now I'm not.
Speaker 2I don't remember my dreams at all, so that could be plus the sugar before going to bed. I don't sleep as well as I think I'm like. Oh, but I thought I was out all that time, but I guess I'm not resting, you know when you're sweating, I'm sweating and you're sweating.
Speaker 1Oh, and I have to put the pillows right side up, like standing, so that they dry. He gets what I call like a stinky baby neck, and I'm the only person that probably likes it.
Speaker 3He's stressed out in his dreams like he's something like in his sleep.
Speaker 2It smells like salt and vinegar potato chips.
Speaker 3Yeah, I love salt and vinegar.
Speaker 1Yeah right, I know I want some of those now they are. They're the best. I love them so much. If you're going to have a chip, have a salt vinegar chip Straight up.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's why I like pickles. Pickles kind of have that like I like. Well, I like the dill too.
Speaker 1Have you gotten the pickled seasoning, the dill pickle seasoning, at Trader Joe's yet and put it on everything?
Speaker 3No, I love dill pickles. Yeah, put it on anything. Yeah, it's got the vinegar, the salt, the dill pickles. I put it on fruit. You know, the first week was just so hard. I'm trying to figure out what can I eat.
Speaker 1I'm eating salads and fruits and just veggies yeah, give me an idea of like what your day looks like food wise my day looks like a smoothie, a smoothie in the morning.
Speaker 3What's in your smoothie? First of butter, and I do spinach, and I do almond milk and I do a banana, and then I might put in a couple of oats, you know just two oats.
Benefits of black seed oil
Speaker 3No, you know, like the oats for the oatmeal, one oat, two oats, a couple of oats shut up and then just the ice and I mix it up and it's so thick and it's filling, yeah, so I have that and then I go on walks, so I'm trying to fill the time, because I'm used to doing drugs, so you know get up and walk for like an hour, you know active, and then um, and and, and I think the hardest thing is just deciding when I'm gonna eat, when they're eating the other stuff, you know, because it's like right and I can't even taste the food I'm cooking.
Speaker 3I'm like, can y'all taste this to even see if it's good? Because I can't taste my steak, I can't taste my chicken, I can't taste anything.
Speaker 2Are you cooking it and you're just like you're smelling it and you're like I want this. I want this. You say hope, I want. You said hope for the best.
Speaker 3I was just hoping for the best, that it's good and not too whatever. No, you know what? Now it's easier like cause I think yesterday I had like ravioli, spinach ravioli oh nice, that was my meat, while they had the chicken thighs I did with the rice and broccoli you make the ravioli yourself no you get like the Trader Joe's kind yeah, that's what we get to.
Speaker 2But, now we don't eat dairy, but yeah, yeah, I did that. You got to find a substitute for that. I just eat a shitload of just hummus, hummus on everything. So much hummus, oh hummus is filling Okay. I need to do that.
Speaker 3Hummus is filling Because I have bean dip. You know beans are protein, that's good.
Speaker 2You know, so I have like that. It's not cool, well isn't?
Speaker 3it, though. You have to make it cool. You have to make it your own. That's what this is. I'm trying to make this cool. It's not cool, it's killing me guys, this is a real sacrifice and I'm looking for my blessings, god, for giving up something a lot of stuff not in a threatening way but you know, you took on a big project, though all at once.
Speaker 1I mean that's very valent as valiant valid I think both valid and valid.
Speaker 3Y'all are so sweet as I tell you I failed with the deal and y'all still, like you're doing it. Dude, it's not great easy.

Healthy eating and sober living challenges
Speaker 1So he finished, sandra, finished the house in the other in the first place that we told you about, right, so we want you to go out there and do like a test run once. It's completely, what are you doing? Still, I just have to finish some like trim work and make sure everything yeah and then we want you to stay there for like a week and I'm like how you like it? Yeah, I'm like dude we went camping yeah, we went to santa barbara and went camping how was?
Speaker 3that it was. It was cool. Only because he has, you know, he transformed his big van. It's like an rv van, so we got the toilet in there we got the kitchen. Oh, that's nice I was making them little grilled cheese sandwiches. But you know we rented out the area, the you know where they have the little camp thing. So we went fishing down, went down there to the little lake oh, that's beautiful we didn't catch shit, so it's not that beautiful. You know what I'm saying? We had a boat.
Speaker 2We had it for two hours.
Speaker 1How the hell you don't catch one fish in two hours? I don't think it was fishing that motherfucker. Do you think? Maybe because you talk so loud?
Speaker 3The boat was louder than me.
Speaker 1Shit the damn engine.
Speaker 3It was fun driving the boat. It's not fun riding on it because it seems scary, you know, and I can't swim.
Speaker 1So I had my vest. Oh shit, no, yeah.
Speaker 3Cluck, cluck, cluck.
Speaker 2You know, just in case, it is weird being out there and you're just like I don't, I just water. Yeah, and it looks like. It looks like it would be going against the something I'm gonna.
Speaker 3Can we turn? I don't like being on boats. Yeah, it's a little scary. Yeah, but I'm scary anyway, I don't even get on roller coasters?
Speaker 1you don't. I've never been on the roller coaster. I feel like you will, though, before the, before the end of your life, you will do you seem like the kind of person who'll try everything.
Speaker 3I ain't getting on no damn roller coaster. I ain't been on one when I was little. I'm gonna drag it, imagine now while you're eating some ice cream that's a way to go.
Speaker 2That's a way to go. That's a great way to go.
Speaker 3It's a dairy that killed her not it's a yes, cortisol spikes.
Speaker 1That's what it was but then we, the other place we moved to, is another place, slightly about a half hour before they're in the desert. Um, also in the high desert, but not so quite so dry. Okay, less of the the joshua trees and things like that. Yeah, so we've got three and a half acres in the backyard. Oh, we got to come check it out.
Speaker 3His brother got one too. His brother got an RV too, so we both went up there and we were side by side. So he was with his girlfriend and I was with my guy and we tried to fish but we ended up having to grill burgers. This is before I started this. Y'all, I haven't cheated, but you know, thought we would just catch a nice fish and fry it up. You know we had to, but those were some good plain burgers out there.
Speaker 2Did you buy the burgers before you went? Or did you you're like, okay, we can't fish, now we'll buy them.
Speaker 3No his brother. Like they keep food with them.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's good, so they always have food you know.
Speaker 3So they had the burgers. We stopped by the store and just picked up little stuff, you know, like stuff to make a regular sandwich, and chips and fruit, you know, and liquor yeah when we were drinking.
Speaker 1But yeah, so it's cool. Do you like the desert or do you prefer like the more santa barbara-y sort of moisty, ocean-y sort of?
Speaker 3I don't care, you, don't care you know, as long as I'm, as long as I can be inside something, you know, the people besides us were literally pulling up and doing their tents and stuff and I was cold in the RV, you know. So I know they were freezing outside on the ground. For sure it had to be, but cause I, you know we didn't really go camping. I bet y'all never guessed it.
Speaker 1But we were really camping family, you know what I'm saying. So now I'm with this half white guy you know what I'm saying out in the wilderness. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3So now I'm with this half white guy. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1We're going camping and shit, and so it was really pretty, a really cool experience I'm really. We said we're gonna go to different places and just explore different sites where we can go and stuff, so it's actually kind of fun you can like go across the country, totally yeah, there's so many places you can go to, yeah he wants to go super far, like let's just start around here.
Speaker 3Yeah, make sure we're cool yeah.
Desert adventures and camping experiences
Speaker 2We'll camp out in the driveway for a minute, you know in the van, and then we'll see what's up In the driveway.
Speaker 3In the driveway. Yeah, let's just chill here See how it goes. Yeah, that's so cool. Yeah, you was really dope because we got the bed in there, we got the burners, we got the fridge, we got the bathroom. I love that. Yeah, so it was cool.
