IT’S PHIL HENDRIE AGAIN TALKING WITH US ABOUT GUT HEALTH!!

We took the week off, so we are re-sharing another episode with the hilarious Phil Hendrie while we talk about gut health and skin. Radio legend Phil Hendrie also from Rick and Morty, Team America, F is for Famiy, This is 40….. The list goes on forever, a documentary about his life called “Hendrie”, joins the SDS pod and we discuss the gut, It’s biome, and the immune disorders that pop up when the biome is “out of order.” Phil is an absolute treasure, and we were thrilled to have him on the show. Your skin is trying to tell you something, and it might have nothing to do with your skincare routine. In this eye-opening episode, we explore the profound connection between gut health and skin conditions.
What if those persistent skin issues—from acne to psoriasis—are actually symptoms of an imbalanced gut microbiome? We unpack how the trillions of microorganisms in your digestive system affect your skin's appearance and health, and why conventional dermatology often misses this crucial link. Phil shares his personal health journey, including a harrowing experience with double pneumonia that forced him to quit smoking and reassess his entire approach to health.
The conversation takes fascinating turns as we discuss how antibiotics prescribed for skin conditions can actually worsen gut health, creating a vicious cycle that keeps skin problems returning. We break down the difference between prebiotics (found in foods like asparagus, garlic, and seaweed) and probiotics (in fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and kombucha), explaining how they work together to maintain a healthy gut environment.
Between laughs and Phil's remarkable character voices, we deliver practical advice on nurturing your gut microbiome through diet and lifestyle changes. You'll learn why starting slowly with probiotics prevents uncomfortable die-off symptoms, how stress impacts your digestive system, and why those beach walks Phil enjoys might benefit more than just his cardiovascular health.
Whether you're battling persistent skin issues or simply want to optimize your health from the inside out, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on the body's interconnected systems. Subscribe now and join our community of listeners discovering that true beauty really does start from within—specifically, in your gut.

Speaker 2It does look healthy, right? Yeah, you know, what's funny is, when I was a kid, it was always like are you healthy? And then people always be there was like kids would like, or teachers would hit you and stuff, oh, kids would like our teachers ever hit you in the stuff? Oh you, oh no, you're healthy. And I thought that like being healthy just meant that I was like fat. So that's when people like you know, like I went to the doctor, no, I'm healthy and I'm just like this big fat kid. So, like you know, I didn't know like, if it meant like, oh, no, this guy, they admit it sarcastically oh, so, like oh no, you're healthy, like he's well fed.
Speaker 2Yeah, so I guess being maybe, maybe, yeah, if I was super, then it would be like oh, maybe you're in bad health.
Speaker 1Yeah. Poor thing, you know, but that wasn't the case you were such a cute fat kid.
Speaker 2White flour was the only thing that lived. Why I said white flour?
Speaker 1Not white, the other one.
Speaker 2That was the only thing that lived in. The house was white flour.

Speaker 2Oh.
Speaker 1I'm sitting and stifling laughs. Don't stifle, Please don't stifle.
Speaker 3Particularly gluttony on the bounty.
Speaker 1Oh this, oh my god, the guests that we have. I mean, you're gonna see it in the title. Obviously you already know, but if you're not familiar, uh, with the the title, I'm so excited about the guests we have today me too.
Speaker 2I am, I'm very I don't want to, I don't want to gush because it's it could be a little, uh, you know, sloppy sloppy exactly, thank you, thank you and uh, I don't, I don't have you know, I'm already gushing yeah, well you can't see it though, yeah uh, but it's happening but I'm excited, I'm very excited.
Speaker 1Um, I would like to start by saying that I gave him the wrong address yeah, that was I wanted to make sure that I got the coolest guests in the world, and then I put, gave him the wrong information. I also left my phone at home. I was I prepared so much for this today and I just oh yeah you weren't answering the phone.
Speaker 3I'm going. Do I have? The right day is this a twilight zone where I'm thinking no, I came out of a building once there was a building and I don't mean to no, you're fine there's a building at westlake village that looks almost exactly the same. You got the front door it's a parking lot with the thing. It's got the back door it's a parking lot with the thing. And I went in and I came out the wrong way. One day I said where's my car?
Speaker 4this looks right there's no fire plug.
Speaker 3There's a freeway yeah, it was like I'd gone into the outer limits, like broken, broken that membrane into another dimension, and then you start thinking okay, here it comes.
Speaker 4Dementia it's okay, it's all right, but it comes, it creeps in like this, then I go.
Speaker 3No, henry, you're on the other side of the building, but it was um. Why did I bring this up?
Speaker 2see that's see, that's, that's the thing. Yeah, I don't even know why I brought it up, but the confusion is there because the confusion about the phone.
Speaker 1Yeah, that's right yeah, no, no, I made it very difficult.
Speaker 2I wanted to make you really work to be on this podcast well, I think what's funny too is like after you hung up the phone we should have called you and been like bye, that was great. Thank you so much for coming down that was a great podcast.
Speaker 1Oh my god, you're fantastic, yeah, but uh, I mean that's you know they rarely they say that when things go right, it's better but, when things go askew there's a little more of a story there.
Speaker 3Sometimes things come out of that that are you know yeah that are good, that you never thought would you know like sweat, but most of the time, no, it's terrible I'd rather it didn't go wrong.
Speaker 3I'm sorry oh my god, no, no no, no, no, please no, you can attack me, because the good news is, folks, that I found a great sushi bar, that I parked just right in front of it, and I'm going to take nikki and I'm going to take sanjo no, we're taking you, but yes, well, we're going to have some great sushi and the waitress. There was the one that was so helpful. She's like there wasn't any business and she's like what's the address?
Speaker 4Okay, it's not out here. No, I see this. Yeah, oh, I know, downstairs in that security guard and she follows out with me and she's out in the stock. Hey, jerry, come here, will you? This guy's looking for eight, four, six.
Speaker 3Don't you have a job, you have to go. She was a sweetheart, she was great, so oh no, you're eight blocks away yeah, it's nice to know there was a good walk yeah and I was telling nikki, this is good man, because I'm trying to burn off some calories and you know, trying to get down to where I was last summer. I was like 215 pounds and then it started. I started feeling weak and then the sweat started to pour.
Speaker 4Then I began to get worried you know what, if I need a paramedic, you know I mean seriously.
Speaker 3Is anybody here know any cpr? He's not even answering your phone, so there's no answering the phone right because it was at home I was looking for a guy who had a big satchel of water and all you had was the one bottle and I didn't recognize you a satchel of water and all you had was the one bottle. I had the one bottle and I didn't recognize you.
Speaker 4A satchel of water. Sandra, you forgot your satchel.
Speaker 2A satchel of water. That's the only time that I would have a satchel of anything is with water. Water, absolutely. It was like that.
Speaker 3If you guys remember Lawrence of Arabia. You remember the movie Well, where he's coming along in the camel and there's the guy just walking almost half dead in the desert with water.
Speaker 1I'm being really dramatic now.
Speaker 2Buzzards overhead, I don't feel bad at all.
Speaker 1I don't feel terrible.
Speaker 4No no.
Speaker 1What yeah?
Speaker 2Sweating, I've heard, is good for gut health.
Speaker 1No, but sweating is good for your skin though. But yeah, I do appreciate the segue back into gut health.
Speaker 2I'm trying to you know whatever Sweating is good for the skin.
Speaker 3Yeah, absolutely, I never knew that. Yeah absolutely.
Speaker 1It's good for your whole body really to like purge and your skin is your largest organ and it pushes out you know a lot of stuff Poisons and stuff.
Speaker 1Yeah, poisons and yeah, all the um, but it also has to go through your gut and that's really important, because a lot of people don't realize how much don't look at my notes a lot of people don't realize, um, how much it actually does affect the way that you feel and you look, and uh, and I want to talk a little bit more about that and like how sometimes dermatologists will treat it in a in a way that will actually make it worse.
Speaker 2Oh, interesting Like cause. That's has to do with the uh, the, the, the gut biome, which is a terrible Pauly Shore movie, Biome dome. But Stephen Baldwin was fantastic, as always. But, uh, um, yeah, so that's fascinating. Cause I was wondering, wondered like but uh, um, yeah. So that's fascinating because I was wondering like, and we talked about before, but your dermatologist, their, her office is filled with bowls of uh, tootsie rolls and sugar cookies and fireball, all this candy that I because I always growing up I knew like the gut you know what you ate would come out, resurface on your skin if it wasn't good for you or whatever so and yeah, I think it's a job security in her case.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, I like that. Yes, feeding it's like the we did have the sugar episode.
Speaker 3This is so coincidental because I, my girlfriend, is jackie, and she was talking about this, I swear to god, two days ago, because I said to her I don't get it, man. You know, I'm eating salads and I'm eating bean burgers and I'm I'm stalled at6, even though I'm out humping the beach. She goes you should figure out what. And she used that word for the gut the biome. Because, yeah, your biome is probably different than other people. Oh, and I'm thinking what are you talking about? Can't we just get?
Speaker 3look I lost, and I did. I lost almost 100 pounds just counting calories, did you really? Oh, I lost almost 100 pounds just counting calories, did you really? Oh, I was a fat tub of guts. I was horrifying. In fact, I was in a movie called this Is 40, and I play a guy who jumps out of a Mercedes and beats up Paul Rudd. Oh my God, that's right, yeah, I was a fat tub of, can I say?
Speaker 1Yes, you can say anything you want.
Speaker 4I was a fat tub of doo-doo. Thank, thank you. It's a tub of shit.
Speaker 3And then I saw and I swear to God, Nikki, this is a God's honest truth I saw a picture and I thought, oh, they manipulated it, they photoshopped because I looked like a round ball.
Speaker 2This can't be me.
Speaker 3And no, they hadn't done any manipulation. I looked like a round ball, like a tub of shit. Oh my God, that day I decided if I got to count calories, that's what. And I did. I started counting. That's the only way you can do it 2,000 a day is what I put myself on and I lost 90 pounds 2,000 calories a day is like what. Starvation.
Speaker 1Yeah, basically, yeah, it's like a 13-year-old girl would eat 2,000 calories a day.
Gut Health and Skin Connection
Speaker 3And it took me from. Let's see, it was 2011, about seven months.
Speaker 1Yeah seven months, yeah, and I got down to the to that weight, but uh, wow, um, but jackie was talking about that two days ago.
Speaker 3That's so crazy. I was scoffing at her because she's always talking about there's good calories and bad calories. What kind are you eating? What do you? What do you mean? Good calories and bad calories? The good calories you can lose weight. The bad calories I got olive oil. That's a good calorie and avocado is a good calorie, but just because you're only doing 2000 calories a day and it's all potato chips.
Speaker 2But see, that's the thing is, I try to get myself. I'm like, all right, I'm not going to have the calories that I would have in the afternoon for a meal, so tonight, sorbet and some chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 4That's how the brain would work.
Speaker 3But then it's also like that sugar which, yeah, it's. I mean I love that stuff so much I go oh, you know, three pints of that Halo ice cream is a thousand calories.
Speaker 1It's like worth three diarrheas, by the way, too, that stuff is so bad for you, it's the worst. Talk about your biome that destroys your gut.
Speaker 3I, that's. I don't even know what your toilet.
Speaker 1I know, and you're not going to lose weight just because it's a thousand calories, but it's going into it like it's ten thousand calories. You just water weight because you're gonna have diarrhea, but you know what? Let's? Why don't we switch you guys? So like, yeah, I wanted to leave you to be the one to introduce our guests.
Speaker 2Okay, I'll introduce our guests um, you know, uh, I first heard this guest when I was working at a pharmacy in Largo, florida, and came on the. It was a Florida station, but it was through the Premier Radio Networks.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2And I first heard him and I was, first of all, I was thoroughly entertained and then, once I realized what was was happening and I almost didn't want to give it away. Now that's how much I don't even want to give it away. Once you find out what's happening and the masterfulness of what he's doing, it's mind-blowing. And then it was just smiles the entire time because it was like people calling in and yeah it's just fascinating and I've always had like uh.
Speaker 4The backstage pass was one of the uh uh, one of the uh yeah was one of the intros. Yeah, man, and I had the cds.
Speaker 2Uh, big fan, uh and uh, I'm gonna introduce him now yes and I, you know we can talk more right?
Speaker 1yes, yeah, that's what the podcast is for. Okay, we'll talk some more.
Speaker 2Yeah, additional conversations yeah and uh so, uh, coming to the couch right now, uh, I'm a big fan and it's really cool to meet him and hang out with him and we're not going to ask him all the questions I want to ask, but let's bring to the couch. Welcome, phil Hendry.
Speaker 1Oh my God. Yes, phil Hendry, you guys come on.
Speaker 3Thank you.
Speaker 1Yeah, this is so exciting, exciting, so continue we're talking about that.
Speaker 3He was talking about, um, your, was it the improv show that you did? Oh yeah, I mean I was telling nikki and sancho that um it's sancho sandro but, but no, no, no, sancho was fine, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1That's good, call me anything too.
Speaker 3Call me tim. I've been called bill bill yeah bill henry bill Bill.
Speaker 4Henry is my name.
Speaker 1Not Henry Henry.
Speaker 3Henry H-E-N-R-Y.
Speaker 4I was listening to Bill Henry. Why, why have you done this to the radio station, the Bill Haney show? Who is he again? Phil Henry, bill Haney, it's an abomination before God and man.
Speaker 3Forgive me, brother, no you're good man. I'm usually really good with names. My father was a salesman. He said a man's name is the sweetest music to his ears.
Speaker 1That's what's in one of those books too.
Speaker 3Is it really?
Speaker 1Yeah, it's like how to win people and blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 3By.
Speaker 4Herb Hendry no. My father's name was Herb, yeah.
Speaker 3So the yeah, so the sweetest music to your ears? I don't think so.
Speaker 3No, although my brother my dear departed brother, dara, was born in 43 and was named Herbie Herbert Jr, and through high school he was Herbie and he, finally, at some point in his life he went man. I can't take it anymore. So he just went by his middle name, which is Dara A beautiful middle name and for the rest of his life that's who he was. But, uh, so yeah, I've, I've been bill henry, but when I was as I was sitting on stage you know I don't do stand-up comedy I was telling nicky and sandra, you guys, what you guys do I admire so much. I did a night of phil henry's uh, phil henry and friends at the improv in hollywood and I would have a lot of comics and then I would come out and try to do it and I was like I just suck on wheels, man, no you saw it, didn't you?
Speaker 2I remember that's the. I don't remember when it was, but I remember it was in the lab it was in the little lab and I remember I watched. I forgot who was on the show, but I was just. I remember I walked in. I didn't even realize God. We used to get so much great people.
Speaker 3Margaret Cho came up and God rest his soul. Brody Stevens came in. I thought he was a. I always loved him man. I thought he was funny, but doing jokes I couldn't do. I could go into character and riff and do the funny things that the characters do. So I'm going to, like I was telling Nikki I'm going to start doing more of a live theater presentation and I don't really know how that's going to roll out.
Speaker 1But who cares, just do it, you'll make it work.
Speaker 3Just go in character for like. Do you like you go in character for like a half hour. You know, like I did this, I got a character named Chris Norton and I'm Chris Norton and I know you probably have known Nikki. I know you're resisting it, but you find me very sassy. We haven't.
Speaker 4I know you're resisting it, but you find me very sassy.
Speaker 3Women just say I'm my sensuality, am I sensuality, am I sensuality? You know, and the cat's just like, and the cat's like and so I've got a movie that I hope you invest in. It's called Daffy Dick.
Speaker 3It's the daffiest dick in town. I don't know I need a subtitle. So this dude is riffing on his movies and this cat was based on a guy that I worked with in florida. Hi, I'm tom and uh, that was the sound of, and he had this lisping thing. I thought this guy's beautiful. Someday I'll incorporate that into something, but I can't do stand-up, I can't do jokes, so I admire that. I think it's the hardest thing in the world, in the, in the artistic world, to do I don't.
Speaker 1I think what you do is harder because you've got 45 compartments in your brain of all different characters and then you're talking from one to the other.
Speaker 3That's true, but it looks scary and weird to people. You guys are funny, I'm weird.
Speaker 4Okay, so they'll look at this man who's talking to himself and they'll go.
Speaker 3yeah, you're right, belle, he talks to himself real good. Can we leave now?
Speaker 4I don't know.
Speaker 1No, it's amazing, that is like such a different.
Speaker 2I also think it's kind of like that like for somebody to get up and be in a band and to play music and do that. That's something I have never been able to do.
Speaker 4So I'm like man, what's that?
Speaker 2like to have that you know people can listen to what you're what you're doing, and see you and also carry on with what they're doing like that's how powerful, but you know. And then the same thing with, like you see, watch john mayer at the comedy store and he's in. He's in the kitchen hanging out with comics because he wants to be a comedian right so he sees that other side to it.
Speaker 2So I think both of it is like you know. It's so important to be able to have the scripted part too, I think. But to come off the cuff like that is just I love it.
Speaker 3Mind-blowing yeah, I really do. And you know, if you're doing any kind of tv, are you working with a television show and you still want to riff on things. You still want to improv, improv your character and doing that movie.
Speaker 1This is 40 and it's a very small part, but it's all improvisation I was going to ask you if they let you do sort of run with it it was fun, it was absolutely fun, yeah and uh so, but the writer is the writer and you got to respect him and god, god bless him.
Speaker 1Glad we got him but if they're, I think if they're a good director or and a good writer of a good movie, they'll let you just do your thing at the end or at least give you an opportunity to sort of just kind of run.
Speaker 3That's that commercial at Liberty Mutual commercial. Can I just riff? I don't know. That's probably the last thing the director's writing, yeah, no.
Speaker 1I meant like a movie, but yeah, the Liberty Mutual commercial.
Speaker 4I was doing a commercial for.
Speaker 3Liberty Mutual Like a riff, if I could.
Speaker 1You guys mind if I just go off the cuff the client loves it Just do it yeah.
Speaker 2So when he did the care, when he did uh, uh, when he did um, chris Norton, you said right.
Speaker 3Yeah, when he did. Chris Norton, which I, I remember the sassy like that's like, yeah, I'm Tom and this is a WRJ Orlando, but the the assess thing came from a band called chairman of the board and they did. I forget the big hit they had, but they were on American bandstand one day and I must've been in my early twenties and I heard this guy say and I got cess appeal and that just cracked me up.
Speaker 3So and I, I came up in the radio business in Orlando, Florida in the radio business in Orlando, Florida in the 70s. At that time in Orlando in the 70s, every dude had a medallion around the neck that went to the navel. The shirt was open. Everybody was Bob Guccione. Real scumbag Excuse my language Banging each other's girlfriends and stuff Drinking rum in the middle of the day.
Speaker 4Just the fucking worst guy, I think drinking rum is the most offensive thing, yeah, the other part.
Speaker 3Man's got to live right. But yeah, so that was Chris, you know, and so he was that guy. Yeah, I'm very sussy and I'm not trying to be egotistical or nothing, but what I loved about him, sandro, is that women would call and they couldn't insult him enough. You are the lowest piece of crap that I've ever heard.
Speaker 4I know you want me and you're just saying that there's nothing they can say. You know what? You're? A piece of shit.
Speaker 1Were real women calling or were you Real women were calling?
Speaker 3We were getting real callers from women saying you know what you think. You're great, you are vile, you are vulgar. I wouldn't have anything to do with you. I wouldn't sleep with you in a million years. Yeah, because you are deep down sensually attracted to me, so you have to have that kind of Sensually attracted.
Speaker 1Sensually.
Speaker 3I'm sensual and I'm sensual, incorporated into that character everything that I knew women just were revolted by, you know, uh, and and particularly his stupidity. I don't think anything turns a woman off more, and I guess women have different ideas of what stupid is. Yeah, like a dumb woman is gonna think what a dumb guy is, must be, must be really dumb. But yeah, point being so chris is all you know. Uh, I have a new emanated movie coming out, emanated, yeah, it's called.
Speaker 4It's so confident and the dick dies and becomes ghost.
Speaker 3Do you think any of this is funny? Yeah, oh yeah, it's funny, I mean, but it also is kind of sad so is that a kid now, when, you did that.
Speaker 2Uh, you did that live yeah, was it like a certain block of time you had in your mind you were going to do it, or did you have, like I?
Speaker 3just told that story about how he wants to raise money for this movie called daffy dick, and then the dick dies and becomes ghost penis.
Speaker 1That's the sequel and ghost penis, just sort of flies around goes into another guy's.
Speaker 3I mean, I'm sorry, you know, and he's trying to be respectful of the women in the audience. Oh, how are you gonna do that, man? But I did that whole block for 20 minutes. The audience just loved it, man, and so I wish I could figure out how to stretch that into a half an hour with different characters, and I guess I know how to do it. But because james was great, he says phil. He did what a lot of guys did. Phil can't be here tonight, but we have a guy named Chris Norton. Okay, if I could find a way to act out on stage, bring the character on. Hi, I'm Phil and I was talking to a guy and it went like something like this Like I saw somebody who I love, julia Sweeney.
Speaker 4And I saw her in Aspen.
Speaker 3She did her little show. God Said Ha, have you seen it? It's funnier than hell.
Speaker 1Is that her? When she had cancer? She had cancer and her brother.
Speaker 3You know she was terrible, but she made it funny, yeah, and she went into her mother's voice and she went into her brother's voice and she acted out all these characters. I got to figure out how to do that somehow.
Speaker 2Yeah, I like the idea of having that kind of one man show and then having them through your lens right, I saw.
Speaker 3Eric Bogosian at UCLA doing. Was it sex, drugs and rock and roll? I think was the name of his show? He did three distinct characters. One was a homeless guy on a subway that I've never seen. The New Yorkers have experienced the homeless guy going. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Bob. You have a captive audience on the subway.
Speaker 4That must be scary as hell.
Speaker 3And I do need a couple of dollars. I just want you to know, you know oh God. The other one is, I forget. I have experienced where you go to a guy's house to buy drugs and you want to get the hell out of there.
Speaker 4And the dude wants to show you his sword collection. Yeah, yeah, you guys see my sword collection. Hold on, sit down, sit down, sit down, man, you got to see this and you're like oh, I just want to get out of here please.
Speaker 3And then the third character he did with some dude at his barbecue cooking up steaks and he's, the guy's a total right-wing nazi, you know a white supremacist, yeah uh, it was a brilliantly funny show. It was three distinct acts in character. I thought that was fantastic. So I I believe you know radio is going like this right and right now. It's a sad thing to see.
Speaker 3Um but there's podcasts, though, there's podcasting is fantastic, but I think my future is probably also podcasting as well as doing live performing, because I don't know, man, at my age, how many more television shows, you know, how many gigs are you going to get as an actor, especially the way the business is going now.
Speaker 3You know it was aiu at this point, my god you know, yeah, did I tell you guys this is a great story? Last night I got an email from YouTube your YouTube channel has been taken down why. I was completely irate. I started writing my attorney. They screwed up that we had set out some takedowns and they thought so they took the stuff down and they blamed me and they told me basically what they said is a guy named Phil Hendry. Okay, you violated his copyright, so we're taking your channel down. I'm Phil.
Speaker 4Hendry, you know yeah.
Speaker 3So I talked to my attorney today, great guy, robert Collins. He said, phil, what's going on is things are glitchy. We're sending takedowns to YouTube, as we do, you know, if you have a copyright, but they're using people and AI and the two are getting glitchy as they try to combine their efforts and I thought well, dude, that's not, it ain't going good. There it is, oh man, that's wild.
Speaker 1Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, are you back up?
Speaker 3We will be, but I had to do an entire retraction, like I had to say. Yes, I do retract, sending out takedowns to myself what the hell.
Speaker 2Is that about man? How does that?
Speaker 3happen.
Speaker 2You got to keep yourself in check. You just don't know where it's coming from.
Speaker 3You know what Would you please take that down?
Speaker 2I know I did it and I own it but I don't like it. It's too much like me. Very weird Dude that is crazy.
Speaker 3YouTube crazy? Yeah, and YouTube, you know God. Can they make more money? You know everybody's a everybody is a content creator for them.
Speaker 2Yeah, everybody yeah.
Speaker 1What's the most amount of characters you've done in like one set?
Speaker 3or oh, in one show, yeah Well, I mean probably four or five yeah well counting like I just did a podcast for today. I did myself margaret gray, general shaw, bud dickman, then I had two characters uh doctors baboon and raccoon from the yugo institute in new york, and then I had uh dr ed elcott, so six that's a lot in the show today.
Speaker 3Yeah, and dr. And. But dr elcott was in the tub having his underwear scrubbed out by one of the novitiates in his religion. So he said have you scrubbed out those bacon strips?
Speaker 4uh-huh so that's, I guess that's seven. That would be seven?
Speaker 3yeah, I don't know, man, I, I laugh and I keep the laughs in.
Speaker 1now, how do you not laugh out loud?
Speaker 3Yeah, and I just keep them in.
Speaker 1Oh, I see what you're saying. You keep them in, not to keep them in your body.
Speaker 3You keep them in the thing and somebody said to me you know, do you? When did it change for you? Because I got inducted into the radio hall of fame this year. I never thought that would happen.
Speaker 1Are you?
Speaker 4kidding me and I said of course it would happen.
Speaker 3Oh no, I didn't think so. I thought I was too counter-cultural. I thought they were. You know that they hated my guts you know, but, um, when I stopped giving a shit, what people thought?
Speaker 3you know and I think you know, nikki and Sandra, you guys know, when you're just making yourself laugh, you know you're onto something. Yeah, so I, I, that's what happened for me, you know I just I stopped caring what people thought, um, because you know, I had an acting teacher who just passed on, daryl Hickman, who used to say guys, you know, speak your truth. Well, what if you can't get hired, at least you spoke your truth.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, all right, hired, at least you spoke your truth. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, I'll take that man.
Speaker 1Yeah, you gotta be authentic to yourself or yourselves, in your case, your multiple cells.
Speaker 3Yes, yeah this is heavy. We haven't even talked about skin care or anything.
Speaker 1Well, let's get to that for a second. You were talking about how your girlfriend, jackie yeah was talking about biomes right, absolutely two days ago.
Speaker 3it. It's weird, I have to tell her this when I get home.
Speaker 1So what was she saying to you? She?
Speaker 3was saying to me. Basically I was saying I cannot lose any weight. It's pissing me off because I want to get down below 220. And she knows I go. We have this battle. I count calories. She thinks that's worthless. Count the good calories. There's good calories, there's good fat. Okay, you know, it's just more work. Yeah, and now she's onto the biomes thing. She goes. You know you should check out your gut health. What are your biomes? Cause things are going into your stomach differently than other people. And I'm going what, what?
Speaker 4now, what are you?
Speaker 3telling me now, but it's so coincidental that we sat down and you guys were talking about that.
Speaker 1I was I don't know why, but I just I was like what are we going to do when Phil Hendry comes? Sorry, phil.
Speaker 4Hendry, let's talk about gut health yeah.
Speaker 1Let's talk about gut health. Yeah, I don't know, it just felt right, but and it's. It's something that's talked about more now.
Speaker 2I think probably around 2016 is when people started to actually like throw that word around the biome I also feel that everything that you want to talk about on this podcast in some way is indirectly directed towards me absolutely everything. Everything on every episode is passive, aggressively talking to him and because, and because you have said that you know, like a lot of the uh good moods and the good feelings start in the gut.
The Importance of Gut Biomes
Speaker 1That's right, so and.
Speaker 2I would typically eat very, very shittily.
Speaker 1Yeah, and we make you make endorphins and things like that and then those kinds of hormones in your gut. Did you re-wear that?
Speaker 3I did not know. Well, endorphins no, I didn't know that. I thought endorphins came out when you run. They do, yeah, they do, but I think they're also. I think they're also producing.
Speaker 1I don't know where else they are, but I know that they that good feelings a lot of times will come from you. It's like when you feel nauseous you can't be in a good mood when you're nauseous.
Speaker 3No right, that's the worst feeling in the world.
Speaker 2It really is, it's not pain, but it's definitely inconvenient and it's debilitating.
Speaker 1It's like a yeah it just changes the whole way you look at life. Yeah, just like hemorrhoids yeah, you can't it changes?
Speaker 2your whole outlook on life.
Speaker 1I don't know why I brought that up, but well, it's, it's your truth.
Speaker 2You spoke your truth. Yeah, this will be our last episode, so thank you yeah thanks for tuning in, guys yeah
Speaker 1um yeah, good food makes you feel great yeah good food, like real good food, really good food, like absolutely healthy food.
Speaker 3I make this crazy salad. I take those bags, those chopped, you know, the bags of salad chopped, kale chopped. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I take four of them. Four bags I put two of them into a bowl and I chop up an avocado. Four bags I put two of them into a bowl and I chop up an avocado. I use balsamic vinegar and olive oil garlic powder, mrs Dash, because I have hypertension and it's the greatest thing for me in the world to eat. Sit and watch documentaries on YouTube about the hanging of Nazi war criminals in Chile.
Speaker 4Why are we selling? And my cat there going going. You eat meat jack.
Speaker 3You don't eat salad she doesn't believe it until she smells it, and so fuck it. Yeah, I'm done.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah do you see your cat?
Speaker 3I have a cat. Her name is thunder and thunder. Uh, we had a dog, but my ex got the dog, okay, and so thunder's there and she, um, uh, there were a lot of animals around for a while and then, uh, thunder's all by herself, so it's just me and thunder and she's called thunder because when we got her she was just a little ball of fluff and I thought well, what's the opposite of that?
Speaker 3thunder yeah but uh, she'll look and she wants to eat what you're eating, until she realizes it's vegetable stuff and my cat forget it, although I did find out one thing about cats. I used to think that cats only ate meat. They do not eat grains. Don't give a cat grains. Give grains to a dog, not now I find out cats should have some grains. They should have some vegetable material.
Speaker 1There's a little gut health for cats?
Speaker 2oh interesting yeah mine go nuts for the broccoli the yeah, the broccoli they play with broccoli.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's right do they really like? They love to play with the broccoli. I don't think they eat it but then I'll get like the, the grass, yeah the grass, yeah, yeah, oh they love the grass and that's for their gut, that's for their gut health.
Speaker 1Yeah, it usually makes them vomit, you know, because it's purging that's true and that's what they do. It usually makes them vomit, you know, cause? It's purging. That's true, and that's what they do when they go outside, is they? Would you know, when I had an indoor cat, that I would let her outside? She'd go down and eat the grass.
Speaker 4She'd come back up and vomit up in the house.
Speaker 2Thank you. You know the drill Get up and vomit back in here, so yeah, so, gut, health is very important for so many different things.
Speaker 1Um, and there's a, it's, it's a, there's a. There's a lot of things going on there that you have to keep balanced in order for things to um to work properly and and not affect your skin. Alex, will you just scroll up a little for me? Uh, actually just go to the whole page there. So there's a lot of things in your gut that you um like uh, where is it?
Speaker 3Um microorganisms. Yeah, we got microorganisms.
Speaker 1Where am I looking here?
Speaker 2Uh, intestinal flora, oh um oh, it's the worst, oh, there's actually viruses, fungi, uh, fungi, phone fun guys, uh, protozoa, um.
Speaker 1but if it's out of balance, then your body looks at it uh as it's something it needs to protect itself from, and so a lot of times when everything's are interrupted like that, like from listen, if you take, if you eat uh, not eat, but you're not going to eat antibiotics, but maybe that's your problem you have a meal of antibiotics. They offered me tetracycline when I came by. I don't know.
Speaker 2It's a good sandwich. Yeah, tetracycline sandwich.
Speaker 1Yeah, but that will throw Okay. So when you go to the dermatologist which is kind of what I was referring to earlier a lot of people will have acne or different things on their face. You can get from being out of balance.
Speaker 4Like you can have.
Speaker 2Let's see, I have pictures of things that you can show.
Speaker 1These would be fun pictures. Yeah, these are fun, Okay. So psoriasis and eczema.
Speaker 2so those are those are.
Speaker 1Those are both causes. Those are autoimmune. All of these are autoimmune.
Speaker 3When your autoimmune system is off, man, you will get psoriasis.
Speaker 1Right and that's, and that is a lot of times from the gulf, the um, the. Do we looking at your watch or your skin?
Speaker 3I was looking at my skin because, um, I get subcutaneous, um, oh, so anyway oh, the microphone is the first time yeah, sorry bruising oh, because of uh blood thinner um oh right occasionally I take meds. It's a long story, you know, but uh, sometimes I do get that. Um, that's what I was looking at has nothing really to do with what you're talking about. Um, it is something I can probably improve with my diet and with the better meds and stuff.
Speaker 1But yeah, better meds are you like on?
Speaker 3well butrin I'm on.
Speaker 1Well, butrin too.
Speaker 3Okay, good girl, yeah, man, yeah see well, that's, you did that and I went with that that's because we're on well butrin yeah um, also I had hypertension. All of a sudden I found I had hypertension and uh, that's a drag, that's high blood pressure.
Speaker 1So I well, butrin can actually exacerbate well. Well, here's the thing I was taking up, because that's a drag, that's high blood pressure. So I well, butrin can actually exacerbate well.
Speaker 3Well, here's the thing I was taking up because that's all for like weight loss too and I was taking for a while there. My doctor had me on adderall, which was like yeah, and I'm telling you, man, I can't you know, if everybody knew that I had it, they were like you. Uh, make like 125 milligram. Could I have one you? Know, that was bad for the blood pressure. Uh uh phenamine very bad I don't know about phenamine is also kind of a uh like an appetite yeah, an appetite suppressant, okay, right, yeah.
Speaker 3But they then the doctor said well, let's put you on bupropion, which is well butyrate. Yeah, and that is okay, it works for me. But I also take, like a meal, or amlodipine and rosastatin. Do you guys know these drugs?
Speaker 2My mom takes a rosuvastatin. Rosuvastatin I take that Amlodipine that's for blood pressure.
Speaker 3And medoxamol I take a medoxamol.
Speaker 2I take a Medoxamol. Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's a bummer, but um, if I got to have something wrong with me. I guess that's better than you know like I've lost all feeling in the leg but you know I can still get around.
Speaker 1Good, I play golf yeah sure Um. I don't feel bad at all about making you walk 14 blocks here and knowing now that you have high blood pressure.
Speaker 3Oh, no, I was fine, I was totally fine.
Speaker 4Yeah, and um no no, I was staggering along and people sir, can we call anyone? It's okay.
Speaker 3I had a good life.
Speaker 2He kept, he kept saying sushi as he was dying.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, right Right, sushi, because he was dying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right right, he was probably thirsty.
Speaker 3Oh my God, but I started all of that and I went on high blood pressure. So that's when I started looking at diet. And first of all, you know the DASH diet. You know the DASH diet is a hypertension diet, but it's really all kinds of groovy shit. Like I didn't know that dark chocolate is good for you. Semi-sweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate is actually a low-sodium great.
Speaker 1It's good for your blood pressure too. Yeah, oh interesting.
Speaker 3Low-sodium, just things I never knew. And I think I'm off-topic, though that's fine. And then I broke out in a rash. No, that was it.
Speaker 2It's all topical, so we're fine.
Speaker 3Nice rash. No, that was it. It's all topical. So we're fine Nice, yes, no, I didn't break out a rash, but I I probably should have, because the diet was so different from what I was eating. But yeah and so.
Speaker 4I don't know.
Speaker 3I. I just started going to the doctor regularly. That was it Cause I you know my girlfriend Jackie. It started to insist Do you have an annual physical? Not really. Well, you're going to start start what?
Speaker 1are you crazy?
Speaker 3and uh, so I went and fortunately, I'm in pretty good health, except for that. So you seem like you're in good health. I am, uh, you know um, I was going to mention viagra, but I probably shouldn't no, you absolutely should.
Speaker 1No, I can't use it because of the blood pressure no, yes, I can.
Speaker 4I can, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3Okay, although I don't need it.
Speaker 1The whole thing. Who does yeah, so yeah.
Speaker 3So so I'm I'm walking is not really a hard thing for me. I do it all the time. I do it on the beach. I live about a block from the sand and I like to walk on the beach. I take that back. I hate walking on the beach. No one could like walking on the beach. No one can like it. Yes, the beautiful ocean, I get it, but you're walking through the deep sand. It's a really hard thing to do.
Speaker 4Do you go barefoot? I go barefoot, bro, and it's a hard workout.
Speaker 3It really is, and I go down to the jetty and turn around and come back and that is the, that that is for me the best kind of cardiovascular exercise.
Speaker 1I can do. It's also good for your brain too. You're, first of all, you're grounding your feet into the ground. You're also getting like all the negative ions from like the water and like just really yeah, and just being around water is really good for your. Um, yeah, just being around water in general too, is just good for your, like, your wellbeing and your.
Speaker 3It is for me, man, I your wellbeing and your. It is for me, man. I can tell you that I feel that way too. Whenever we go, I'm like.
Speaker 1We're made out of crystals and you know a lot of crystals in our body. People yeah, people are and so like and they. That's how you cleanse a crystal, as you put it in salt water.
Speaker 3She's lying to me.
Speaker 1I'm not lying. Well, what I do is it's not funny, but it's awesome.
Speaker 3No, no, no.
Speaker 4It's totally awesome. I love that.
Speaker 3I mean the ocean's always been mother to me. When I see the ocean.
Speaker 4I say there's mom.
Speaker 3Everything came out of there and you know we're all just still wanting to go back and splash around in it. Yeah, yeah yeah, but I walk along in the sand and I get ideas for comedy bits you know from and he was just here is. This is near my house and it's not like the dirt that we're on, it's something else. Okay, but look out there, see that line. That's where the world ends, like some I was thinking of.
Speaker 4Like some psycho, you know, mr, mr wizard guy you know, and there's nothing beyond that.
Speaker 3We don't know what it is why did you say mr wizard?
Speaker 1today I saw something online about mr wizard and I hadn't seen anything about Mr Wizard in-.
Speaker 3Wasn't he the guy who did all the experiments with kids, or was it-?
Speaker 1Yeah, and then he would kind of like, basically like make them feel like shit, feel like when they were wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3He'd make them feel like shit when they were wrong. No, you ass, you don't put why it even came on Wow that's fascinating. Something about.
Speaker 2Mr.
Speaker 1This room, by the way. When we're in it, things tend to sync up. So, that's how we know we're doing the right thing we need to sync up. Like you know everything, just like everything becomes in sync. Oh cool come in here as a guest. We've gotten on each other. Same cycle, same menstruation cycles.
Speaker 2So when you leave here, just don't be surprised if, in 28 days, mr wizard.
Speaker 3There's nothing like him on tv now is there and he had the kids come in. Of course. People so sick today I wouldn't let my kid go in that house. But he was cool man. He showed you how fire was made and how water is made and how this and that and everything else. The other, mr Wizard, was on Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Speaker 3Help me, Mr Wizard Remember the turtle what the hell was the name of that? The turtle wanted to have a better life, so he'd go to the wizard, which was a lizard. He lived in a tree and he had on a sorcerer's hat. Oh, you don't remember this this is a Rocky and Bull.
Speaker 1I don't remember this part of it.
Speaker 3This is a part of their show, and so I forget the tortoise's name. He wants a better life. You know what, mr Wizard? I want to see Paris. He's a turtle, you know. All right, you know, if you want to drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, he'd be in Paris and he'd get into some hassle. He'd get run over by a truck and his last words would be help me, mr Wizard, help and he goes oh well, drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, time for this one to come home, and he'd bring him out of his nightmare, you know, and the whole moral of the story story was be happy with
Speaker 1the life you have if you dream too big. You know you're going to be off into uh terrible things, you know you don't want to dream too big, keep your life as small as possible. Kids don't think outside of the box the tortoise.
Speaker 3He just wanted to see the world and see all kinds of crazy things, but he was always biting off more than he could chew, I guess oh, right, yeah the moral of the story, and the lizard was mr wizard. Yeah, yeah, wow, that's crazy yeah, that was rocky and bull winklin. That was uh, which I had a character based on rocky. I can't do it anymore. People love this character named rc collins and I can't do it anymore, but I used to be. I got it way up there you, you can tell he was based on these kids.
Speaker 3He was based on these kids that I knew when I was growing up. That kid was always like four or five years younger than you.
Speaker 4Hey Henry, what are you guys going to do today?
Speaker 3We're going to play baseball.
Speaker 4Yeah, you got.
Speaker 3I bet you can't hit the broad side of a barn. Why don't you F off, go home, punk? Yeah, you, and what army, army, you're gonna beat me up. You know and you think of this little eight-year-old punk. All you want to do is pick him up and throw him off a cliff but you can't. So he was based on these little twerpy punks that we know and he'd talk all this smack about stuff. You know in everything if you got a girlfriend yeah yeah, but you let her.
Speaker 3Let her talk to me, man, she'd see a real man yeah sure sure dork, you know so that was based on rocky the squirrel. But back when I was on the air in my and I can still hit there. But I, you have to work your voice, man, you, you, it's like a muscle, you know, and if I practice that voice every day, I could probably get it up there again, yeah, but that's why I haven't a long time, you know and I was a smoker and I was taking.
Inflammatory Skin Conditions Explained
Speaker 3I smoked cigarettes up until 2009. Wow really yeah, I went into the hospital with double pneumonia and swine flu. You guys remember the swine flu?
Speaker 1I remember, man, I heard I don't, what does it do to you?
Speaker 3what happened to me was I knew that swine flu was around and suddenly one night I'm laying in bed. I know I'm getting the flu, but when I coughed it felt like I was being stabbed with a million knitting needles and I'm like God damn, this is a bad cough. You got Phil, two, three days in. I'm starting to pass out as I'm going upstairs. Oh, to pass out as I'm going upstairs, you know. So I call my doctor. He said meet me at the, at the office. We got there he said you got to go to the hospital, jack, you got, you're sick.
Speaker 3So I went over to a St John's over there near where I live in Ventura County, and they I was in there for a week and they had me on respiratory therapy and they had the cardiovascular and and I'm not trying to say anything here but it was gratifying half of these cats used to listen to me when they were getting their, when they were taking their tests. You know, like the respiratory therapist going man, I used to the cardiovascular guy, you know, yeah, and I'm thinking all these people are working so hard to save my life, basically, yeah, that when I got out of there there was never any question I wasn't going to smoke another cigarette again as long as I lived, and I miss it occasionally. But I think back on being in that hospital and hearing that alarm go off because I'm not getting enough oxygen in my blood.
Speaker 1No, that's fucking scary. Oh yeah man.
Speaker 3So I just gave up the cigs and I don't miss it. Occasionally I go wouldn't it be cool to have a cigarette? Not really.
Speaker 1It is for like one second. You light it and you're like, why did?
Speaker 2I do that. Now I'm more anxious. I did it about a year ago.
Speaker 1Alex says yes too.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know, I guilted him into not smoking anymore.
Speaker 1Alex is saying he quit three years ago, three years ago. Oh, you smoked for three years straight. What a pussy. No, I started when I was 13.
Speaker 3Yeah, I was 14.
Speaker 1Yeah, no, I think I was actually 15. And then I think I stopped at 22. And then I quit.
Speaker 2Started again.
Speaker 1Yeah, two years off, two years on, and then I finally I don't know when I did smoke a lot, lot though, like a pack of Marlboro Reds, like every day. I was a telemarketer.
Speaker 4The night I got sick.
Speaker 3I was doing a Christmas Carol with all of my characters, and I was. I was puffing up. It was probably up to three packs a day, wow. And I thought, well, this would be great because I'm taking the next week off, because it's Christmas. Well, the next week was hell on earth, man. I the second day of January, so I was in there through the whole.
Speaker 1Wow, yeah, oh wow, I'm glad you quit.
Speaker 3Yeah, me too, and I'd never been in a hospital in my life, you know.
Speaker 2And you were there for that like two weeks.
Speaker 4You're like. I did this to me. I was there for a week and a half and I'm laying there.
Speaker 3And they have single occupancy rooms at this hospital. So I'm thinking pretty good. No not really yeah yeah, but the nurses moved me. You know, I had a real nice high floor room and they're like no, no, no, no, this guy is too sick. So they moved me down to the nurse's station floor. Oh wow, so right outside my room I can hear who wants lunch.
Speaker 4Attention, attention, ladies, we're taking lunch orders. What the fuck.
Speaker 3You know, yeah, attention, attention, ladies, we're getting, we're taking lunch orders, yeah and uh. And then one night I saw uh, two looked like two of the most beautiful blonde haired angels came floating into my room and rolled me over and x-rayed my chest, and then they just floated out and I finally I wasn't hallucinating with the x-ray technicians from downstairs who were told go up and x-ray that guy's lungs.
Speaker 3Oh wow, but in my delirium yeah they were like I was a sick mother of telling you, man, yeah that's kind of, but good drugs, at least that you remember dude, I don't remember any really good drugs. No, it was all just uh just the angels. Just the angels came floating in on me, man, and you know, and getting up caused any movement, caused a hacking and coughing. When I got home, I went down to the beach and tried to walk. Well, I'll try and walk. I got 20 yards, man, I couldn't do it your lungs were inflamed.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah Bad. Yeah, inflammation's not good.
Speaker 2Just stuff you take for granted.
Speaker 3Even when I would smoke cigarettes, I would just, and then, after I'm done, I would put it out, and then I'd go, I'm fine that kind of mentality, and then you take for granted that you walk up the stairs and I'm like, oh man this shouldn't be like this, and I consider myself lucky man because at least it was pneumonia and it wasn't like throat cancer or some shit.
Speaker 1Thank God so.
Speaker 3At least it was pneumonia and it wasn't like throat cancer or some shit, thank God, yeah, so that's what knocked me away from it.
Speaker 1It was a warning.
Speaker 3It was like Hendry quit, yeah, you know. Also, when I was in the hospital I said well, you had swine flu. It morphed into pneumonia, but we also want to see if you have valley fever.
Speaker 4I go what the hell is valley fever.
Speaker 3This is a spore from the San Joaquin Valley that gets into the lungs and has infected some people. So one night into my room comes this doctor, Dr Omega Smith, holding us with the gloved hands like this and a mask on. Mr Henry, I'm Dr.
Speaker 4Smith, how are you? I'm a bacteriologist. Now we'd like to send a specimen of your spumum or whatever the hell up to UC Davis. What for sir? To check for a valley fever. I believe you have it.
Speaker 3So they did, and I didn't have valley fever.
Speaker 1You didn't have valley fever.
Speaker 3No, but that sounded pretty freaky too. Yeah, valley fever.
Speaker 1It just sounds like somebody who's dying to go back to Van Nuys, that's hilarious. I've got valley. I'm literally dying.
Speaker 3Yeah, I got the fever, yeah I got the fever that is awesome. It doesn't have carl's junior promotion oh my god like that's. Oh my god, that's wild that's only something people from la would have though. Yeah, that's true, but out of the valley too long. I Valley fever.
Speaker 1I'm from the valley. All right, let's go back just for a second. I want to talk about more inflammatory diseases.
Speaker 2Speaking of inflammatory diseases.
Speaker 1what else is going on? All right? So we got psoriasis and eczema. Okay, vitiligo, right? Oh yeah. Oh, vitiligo, yeah, this is actually like a very new thing that people are using the models with the deligo um, and that's what michael jackson had. So I don't know what causes it necessarily, but it can be caught from caused from the gut being off really yeah, so that's another one, and then obviously acne um is there another acne.
Speaker 1That was uh from the cartoons, yeah um, but like, yeah, so like undigested food will go through your system. There's something called leaky gut, because your intestine yeah, because you're in you have a weakened intestinal wall and then the food passes through it and your body goes nope, that is a foreign substance, we're going to attack that, and so it comes out in all of those ways, and it can also come out in brain fog. It can come out. I mean, there's a lot of ways that gut health will not be. Having gut health will affect your body, but in terms of the skin, since this is sex, drugs and skincare, those are some of the things that you can get from not having good, gut health.
Speaker 1Now here's what happens, though, is sometimes the dermatologists I uh, like sandra was saying, they'll put like the sugar out. They they're only thinking about treating symptoms, and if you're a dermatologist, I think what you do is fantastic, but they look more at just getting rid of the symptoms and not at where it's coming from, and so they'll give you an antibiotic when you have that kind of acne, because it will kill the bacteria yeah, not realizing that it's killing all the bacteria here, and then it's gonna come back twice as hard.
Speaker 3That's what I've heard about antibiotics that it destroys the natural fungi in the-.
Prebiotics and Probiotics Benefits
Speaker 1Right, so the things that you can do are actually let me take this nasty thing off and then we'll talk about things that you can actually do. Will you? Yes, let's see. Okay, so there's some things that you can actually do. Will you? Yes, let's see. Okay, so there's some things that you can do. Oh, prebiotics. Do you know about prebiotics?
Speaker 3I don't.
Speaker 1Okay, do you know?
Speaker 2about prebiotics. I know probiotics. I don't know what the prebiotics.
Speaker 1Okay. So prebiotics is usually something that's fermented that you eat and it supposedly acts as a primary carbon source, but basically it helps the beneficial bacteria to grow right. So the probiotic is the beneficial bacteria, such as like bifidobacteria lactobacilli, but so like there's, let's see, you can find. Spirulina pectin, which is found in apples, is a really good one. Chalina pectin, which is found in apples, is a really good one. I looked up what rhamnos was and it's some sort of a sugar that comes from some I forget was some bush From the common buckthorn? Well, that's what it was. Oh, that is my note. Yeah, from the common buckthorn. And a lot of these things naturally exist in a lot of our foods, which is asparagus, sugar beets not sugar sugar beets garlic, chicory is a great one. Um onions, jerusalem artichokes, wheat which is, I thought, ironic. Um honey, apparently barley tomatoes, rye, soybean, um human and cow's milk, peas, beans, etc and seaweeds I don't know why you see't say that I knew it.
Speaker 1Yeah, because it's on my notes. Oh really, yeah, right. So when you put some of that stuff in first, it does help to keep the inflammatory responses down, and so it does play a very essential role in keeping the gut biome in balance.
Speaker 2So can you take too much of the prebiotic or like anything like that? Or probiotic is actually I think I'm jumping. You actually can do, I don't take too much, I think, with probiotics especially.
Speaker 1Well, okay, so if you're eating a lot of prebiotics, a lot of times it has to do. There's a lot of fiber sometimes in them or or like what they're saying, like um fermentation, and that can probably give you a little bit of a stomach ache okay, gotcha but probiotics too, the really good ones.
Speaker 1You start off small, because if you go in with too much probiotic too fast you can kill off too much candida and things like that which we've had an episode on and that will give you die off and that will make you really sick. A lot of stuff to remember, I know well, you'll have to just keep the episode browser, because if I want to have the perfect diet.
Speaker 3I want to have my probiotics.
Speaker 1I want to have my prebiotics yeah, oh, that's not too hard in, but in right amounts too yeah, well, yeah, you just you start slow and then you build up and so postbiotics I that I don't know, I don't have an answer for that, but probiotics, um are usually found naturally in real yogurt. And when you look at yogurt, if it it has cornstarch in it, it's probably not been fermented long enough to make it that thick. So go for something that doesn't have cornstarch in it, because otherwise it's not real yogurt. Kefir, which I made my own kefir for a while.
Speaker 2Nikki has made her own kefir, just like she makes her own Gatorade. Now she makes her own kefir. You make your own Gatorade, now she makes her own.
Speaker 1I do. Yeah, I gave myself diarrhea, but I did. I do make it and I still drink it. Trial and error.
Speaker 3Yeah it is.
Speaker 4It really is.
Speaker 3I see you in front of some laboratory thing.
Speaker 4Ah, the Gatorade is ready.
Speaker 3Excuse me, for a minute.
Speaker 4Light goes out of the bathroom, thank you.
Speaker 1Too much salt will actually make you do the opposite. But sauerkraut, because it's also probiotic. It's fermented, yeah, kombucha pickles, sourdough bread is good, everything that's fermented those are natural probiotics.
Speaker 3I love all those foods.
Speaker 1Right and those are really good and it will keep. I'm not going to list all the different things that it's going to. You know, the most common ones probably is like lactobacillus, which is from like milk products, I think. Okay, like probably the yogurt and things like that and oh, I've seen that right there.
Speaker 2B Bifobacterium that was Bif Tannen's real name in.
Speaker 1Back to the Future. That's right. Yes, that's correct. Bifobacterium.
Speaker 4Bifobacterium.
Speaker 1It was Irish. Irish people yeah, so, yeah. So if you're imbalanced in all of those things, those are two things that you can do to correct some of those imbalances. So I mean, that's pretty much it.
Speaker 3What's all these maladies? Streptococcus.
Speaker 1Okay, so those are the bad ones that can live inside your system.
Speaker 2Streptococcus is strep, oh, it's strep throat. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, enterococcus, I don't yeah.
Speaker 3I have a professional acquaintance a great guy Mark Wallengren used to do on the Mark and Kim show on Coast.
Speaker 1Sounds familiar.
Speaker 3Mark went to New Mexico to see the eclipse, and this poor man somehow contracted MSSA, a frighteningly horrible staph infection.
Speaker 1Oh, no, mark, if you're watching.
Speaker 3I hope you're-.
Speaker 1Not MRSA, mssa, okay, because there's MRSA too.
Speaker 3Yeah, right, okay, all right In fact, the famous Jackie was telling me about that one. I said no, this is different. Oh, and Mark went through living hell. I mean, he's on Instagram and good Lord he's got such a great attitude about it, but it marked up his legs. He had abscesses up against his pelvis his pelvic bone.
Speaker 1Horrible, Horrible man, you can become septic, right it was?
Speaker 3It was completely a septic invasion of his body. How the hell it happened, I have no idea. I asked him and I don't think he responded because he went. That's hindry. But anyway, folks, he's a sweetheart he's a very nice man and I couldn't believe this thing. You and I'm looking at pictures of him, how he's alive you can die very easily from those things. I can't believe the cat's still alive, is that? Something like that that's in your system dormant this is what I was thinking when I was looking at these man.
Speaker 1Possibly, and then when things are out of balance, it's not being kept at bay.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 1But you can like with MRSA, which is similar to what you're saying. I'm going to look more into the MSSA, mssa, yeah. You get it from like you can touch things and just get it. You get it from like you can touch things and just get it, but your immune system has to be off in order for your body to go.
Speaker 3all right, we're going to take this on. Okay, that makes sense now.
Speaker 1Because it's everywhere.
Speaker 3Yeah, I've seen people with staph infections. If it gets in the body and it takes off, it's because your body is just not able to fight something.
Speaker 1That's right yeah.
Speaker 3And I don't know what's's and I don't want to tell your story, mark, because you know better than me but what happened to his physiology or or whatever you would call that? Yeah, that all of a sudden this thing just took off like a rocket and he has scarred up legs, oh my god, because of the abscesses and uh, but he's so, he's like, I'll be good. The doctor says I'll be up and running. I'll be up and good about, let's say, four years from now oh no, he did actually say this.
Speaker 3He did say I'll be fine in four weeks. The doctor says the scars will go away in about two years. So you know I'm like what?
Speaker 1Wow, yeah, that's a good attitude, that's a really good attitude.
Speaker 2Well, he could have died, honestly, yeah absolutely.
Speaker 1I have a client who came to me. She had MRSA. We didn't know, we thought it was a pimple because it looks very similar. So we were just doing like her normal extractions, but this thing would not go away. It looks exactly like a pimple with a white head. So she had it on her forehead. I don't know how many other places in her body she had it. But I didn't hear from her for months and I was like Gladys, where the hell are you? Yeah, she's like I'm in the hospital. I almost died because I had I had mursa, but she thinks she got it because she would travel a lot, like at the airports and things like that you know, you touch things or like in vegas just touching stuff.
Speaker 3That's kind of scary though I mean you it must have seriously depleted immune system yeah, I would think yeah because I've been touching stuff my whole life. Some things more than others I've been touching things my whole life.
Speaker 1I ain't got sick yet.
Speaker 3It's going in the teaser, going in the teaser, although mentally.
Speaker 2You know I'm pretty upset. Well, it's got to improve your immune system by touching all this stuff.
Speaker 1It can. Yeah, Well, that's true.
Speaker 2Kind of a looking doorknobs kind of mentality yeah, not really, but I mean like you have an opening and your body's like in a heat of uh, in a extreme stress, or like traveling puts a lot of stress on you too not sleeping well you're eating you know twinkies, which I've done all that stuff and that's when I've been like in the worst health.
Speaker 3Uh, then I get sick any little thing man will trigger it, yeah you're sick, yeah, I think that's what happened to me when I got swine flu. I was smoking three packs a day. I was overweight by 60 pounds. I was in rotten shit.
Speaker 1Your body couldn't have fought that. It couldn't have fought that way.
Speaker 2But everything we do is just trying to make ourselves feel good in that moment. At least that's the way. I don't see past that moment where I'm like I like to cigarette, moment where I'm like I like the cigarette and I like you know then I'm like oh, I'll have a piece of ice cream.
Speaker 1A piece of ice cream. You get your ice cream in pieces, okay.
Speaker 4A piece of cigarette, a slice of ice cream, a slice of a cigarette, but it's all you know, and then it's like oh, I feel like shit.
Speaker 1And then it's like about it, and then I would get mad about it.
Speaker 2I'm like I'm coughing and I have like the flu and I'm like I just want to have a cigarette. Why can't I have a cigarette? Or why can't I smoke a joint? And Nikki's like just wait till afterwards. And I'm like, yeah, but you don't understand America.
Speaker 3I saw the actor who was in Ghostbusters there was Aykroyd. There was Aykroyd, there was Murray. Oh God.
Speaker 1Oh, rick Moranis, Was he in it? No, no, the third.
Speaker 3Ghostbuster actor, the third guy.
Speaker 1Daniel Stern. No Wait, who the hell was in.
Speaker 2Ghostbusters Aykroyd. Oh, what's his name.
Speaker 3He's in his late 70s. He's in phenomenal shape. I can't remember.
Speaker 4Ernie Hudson.
Speaker 3Yes, yes, ernie Hudson. Good, god, almighty, he's ripped, he's strong, he looks phenomenal. Yeah, and he's smiling, you know. There's just that he wasn't necessarily I think it was just a shot from a set someplace, because you get to a certain age, you think, okay, I can stay alive for a long time, I can have a good life, but look good no, this dude looked great you know, I mean, I'm telling you, he had, he had uh guns, everything.
Speaker 1So he's working out.
Speaker 3I'm assuming, I guess.
Speaker 2So, man, I feel like it's that, when it's that like, when you see guys like in that good of shape, like it almost feels like they have to just have continued to do it or bought into it the whole way up I think you're right, because I mean, like that's just, he's in great shape, yeah he's just fantastic but you do have to kind of make a life's work of it.
Speaker 2Yeah, a lot of ways yeah, nikki, are we bothering you? No, I'm texting Alex because the clock went off and I don't know thanks for bringing everybody's attention to that.
Speaker 1I was like I'm gonna let them talk. Nikki's playing homescapes on Apple and uh, I'm playing homescapes. Homescapes oh, homescapes, oh homescape yeah late homescape.
Speaker 3What is that it's? It's an asinine game where a butler and his family are building a house and you help them build their house and then he's a butler, but keep this in mind, but he's got this. You know, three-story mansion. Then they buy a house across the lake and they build that one up, and now, I think, after you go there, then there's another one, there's a fortress someplace that you can build, whoa, and you do this all by beating these levels of it's candy. It's like candy crush okay, you're combining things and blowing them.
Speaker 3There's something psychologically satisfying about that, yeah, and the phone vibrates when you explode things oh wow, they do that, I don't know.
Speaker 2Dopamine like little rush.
Speaker 1It feels so good.
Speaker 3Yeah, and I'm I. Uh, I finally got myself off it. I said F it man, I stopped, I disengaged from the game, I left it. Then I came back three months later and I had to start all over again because my game got wiped out.
Speaker 1Oh, that sucks Uh. So I thought, maybe that's what you were doing. But no, but I will next time. Okay, she was texting alex.
Speaker 2Uh, what were you texting out?
Speaker 1because the clock went off, so I have no idea how long we're going for and like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2I just did my question fun, but I understand what you're saying no, no, I just I don't, I'm joking I know, but I don't know how to answer it.
Speaker 1I, I don't have a good comeback.
Speaker 4That's the best improv we do a lot of oh yeah, we do a lot of improv.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's the best one we do no and yeah no, and or yesterday was a no or was a no. I don't believe it.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't believe it, or I don't know how to. I don't know how to respond to that is a good one.
Speaker 2Good one, yeah, all right oh, your favorite one is hold on a second. Yeah, that's my favorite. Yeah, let me think about it. Yeah, it's all, it's real life. Improv, right, because it's not all going to wrap up, and yes, and it's just yeah, we go for real.
Speaker 3Yeah, it could be something like um, you know what? I just remembered that I have to make a call yes, yes, it's perfect.

Speaker 4Yeah, they're almost sentient.
Speaker 3They'll sit there and stay with you. And we lost Kirby. Kirby was her Irish terrier, 18 years old. We lost him like three years ago and it just busted her up. But Moose the bearded dragon has been her friend ever since. That's so cool, but I I gotta tell her about this because she'll say you know, you're an idiot again.
Speaker 2Henry, you listen to people on the podcast, but not me save it for one of those moments when you have to, when she can be like see, I was right yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go, by the way three weeks ago, we were talking about bio. Remember that yeah, I was right, you're right this is all making me ironically hungry for sushi.
Speaker 1I know, and I was thinking about that too. So, yeah, well, maybe we should wrap up.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1I don't know. I have no idea how long we've been going, how long.
Speaker 4Alex is it, is that right?
Speaker 1You did. Let's see, oh, we just hit the hour. Oh, perfect, see, I had a sense of it, I have an internal clock. I can wake up in the middle of the night and pretty much tell what time it is no kidding Like to the minute.
Speaker 3I can't. I don't know how I do it, you also don't really sleep, that's true, I'm not a good sleeper Last time. I'm so messed up it I guess it isn't getting light.
Speaker 4What is all that light?
Speaker 3I see, oh, I get it. It's the neon from the bar down the street. It's lighting up the freaking fog.
Speaker 1It's not the sunrise. It's not the sunrise.
Speaker 3The fog is being lit up by neon from a gas station.
Speaker 1You live near the beach too. That's so cool.
Speaker 3I live about a block and a half from the sand called Channel Islands Beach. It's the last affordable beach in Southern. California, really. Yeah, it's like a working class beach. There's like fishermen that live there. That's awesome.
Speaker 1Ventura is like one of the last places that you can actually like buy something.
Speaker 3It's real surf country. Yeah, and that's the end of that comment. No, that's it.
Speaker 4I don't know when, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3So I got out and walked the sand and it's turned out to be quite a benefit. But yeah, I'm a lot of things to say.
Speaker 1Okay, perfect. This is a great time to wrap it up, phil, thank you so much for being here. Thank you, it was a blast man. Thank you for inviting me.
Speaker 3Oh my God, this was so much fun, so much fun. Oh thanks, brother, it's great to meet you, senator. Yeah, you have a specific social media philhenryshowcom is where all my radio show and my digital content is archived there, and we're at philhenryfans Facebook forward slash philhenryfans. I spelled it P-H-A-N-S, to my everlasting regret. It's philhenryfans, right? Yeah, but it's spelled P-H-A-N-S.
Speaker 2Never mind.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 3I love that. I love Instagram. X is weird, so don't go there.
Speaker 1I locked my account there. I know you say a lot of cool stuff on X, do I? Yes, but I locked my account you did.
Speaker 3Yeah, I locked it so that you can't go see anything.
Speaker 4Maybe, I should unlock it.
Speaker 3The last thing I said on X that I thought was kind of cool said that I wish that the movie the birds was would come true I don't know why I said that. Wouldn't it be great if the bird, that movie, came true?
Speaker 1oh, you're saying x, like twitter. I'm talking about um. What's the other one on instagram? There's a secondary thing. Oh, threads, threads, yeah, threads, yeah, threads is fun. Yeah, that's where you say things.
Speaker 3Yeah, I post things there, but mostly Facebook and. Instagram. I'm on TikTok, which is the goofiest thing. I got 70,000 views on one video and so far I've got zero views on another video.
Speaker 1That's so crazy. How does that happen?
Speaker 2I don't know not, I'm not part computer, I don't have that uh part of it that wants to do that. But I'm fascinated by how they work.
Speaker 3I just don't uh, yeah I, social media is a and I hate to say this, but it's just to promote and market for me, I I got nothing against other people. I personally don't like it for what it's used for.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, but we have to do it, though unfortunately I need to pay somebody to do it. It's a good marketing tool.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, do you do everything yourself I do Good for you.
Speaker 3You shouldn't, no, you do a good job.
Speaker 1You're always out there, so.
Speaker 3On Facebook I do my fan pages all strictly show-related stuff, gotcha, and so every day I put the show log up and I have a link to the show. And you know like I had a picture of myself asleep. In fact I was referencing this. I had a picture of myself asleep on an airplane back in 1987. I was 35. I was flying back from London Because we'd gone to London three times for KLSX Radio. I was an album rock jock at the time 97.1. 97.1. And we were classic rock. We went back for the Beatles' 20th anniversary of Sgt Pepper, which is a lot of fun. We broadcast from Abbey Road Studios.
Speaker 3But I said you're looking at an unhappy man. I was 35. And I was very unhappy. I wasn't proud of the work I was doing. In fact I was embarrassed by it and I didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to. I remember in those days, thinking if only I could just start my career all over again. And I said and that's where I said, and then I just stopped and I said I would be fired two more times after this job until I decided to just forget about making people happy. Have fun, phil, what's your instinct? And that's when my career started to take off.
Speaker 3You know that makes sense. I got more comments on that picture because of that, you know, and some people saying you were better then. But thank you unfollow block.
Speaker 2Maybe that's so cool though because you follow what you want to do and what makes you happy and it made so many other people happy to be able to be part of it, to listen to that.
Speaker 3I'm really happy about that, yeah, and I don't mean to be glib, but one guy said to me my wife was in a coma and the first time she laughed was when she heard something on your show.
Speaker 4And for some reason that busted me up. Yeah, I just started laughing, he was like why are you laughing at? That but nothing.
Speaker 3Somebody with a colon Comas are funny. Yeah, but the thing is you've got to be respectful. Follow your heart. Do what you know is right. Do your show. Don't let anybody air check you and tell you that's not funny, this isn't funny. But always be respectful. If they say your show show sucks, I'm sorry, you don't like it, I'll move on to the next gig. Yeah, and don't ever burn any bridges, bro, you know. Always be respectful of people, because there's so many assholes out there in the entertainment business. You guys know.
Speaker 1You never know who's going to come up. It could be the, the janitor could be, the president of abc tomorrow absolute truth.
Speaker 3Yeah, so be cool to everybody, um, but just stand your ground, say this is what I do, I'm sorry you don't like it, but you know what can I tell you? Yeah, next.
Speaker 4Next.
Speaker 1Yeah next job. Yeah Well, I'm so glad that you do what you do. Oh, thanks, and I just I really seriously I'm so glad that you walked 100 blocks to get here today.
Speaker 4I feel better. Yeah, how good. I need about an hour to come around when I got here.
Speaker 1I was like this Some smelling salts, yeah.

Speaker 2Sparkling water IV was good though.
