The Mikhaila Peterson Podcast - 164 Attractive Women's Effect on Men, Jordan Peterson Protests, and Henry Cavill

00:00:00.000 was a bunch of like German protesters outside of your father's talk just like

00:00:06.300 Jordan Peterson ist ein fascista.

00:00:09.880 You're German. You should surely know what a fascist is.

00:00:13.120 Like you would know it intimately.

00:00:22.060 Welcome to the Michaela Peterson podcast, Luke Cook.

00:00:25.700 Thank you so much for having me, Michaela.

00:00:27.720 That was beautiful.

00:00:30.000 I really appreciate that.

00:00:31.880 No, of course.

00:00:32.620 It's an incredible theme song and it gets stuck in my head all the time.

00:00:36.820 So I just had to give it to you.

00:00:37.800 But the funniest video I've seen so far today was a bunch of like German protesters outside of your father's talk.

00:00:45.900 Just like, Jordan Peterson ist ein fascister.

00:00:50.040 You're German.

00:00:51.180 You should surely know what a fascist is.

00:00:53.280 Like you would know it intimately.

00:00:54.820 You know, you've got this wrong.

00:00:56.120 This one.

00:00:56.720 I know.

00:00:56.980 Pretty weird, huh?

00:00:58.380 It's so weird.

00:00:59.180 how can you honestly call yourself an anti-fascist and try and de-platform people

00:01:03.320 like try and not let people speak how is that and where's the intellectual honesty in that

00:01:08.640 there isn't any yeah people are very confused and your mom your little mom posting a picture of the

00:01:14.100 i know of the picket line i'm just imagining her like and she just didn't seem to care she's like

00:01:20.100 look at these people yeah yeah just like five foot walking around here's the antifa outside

00:01:26.300 my husband's show the antifa she would call it the antifa and then she posted on the facebook

00:01:32.480 yeah and the instagram she has a podcast now it's not fun i'm yet to listen to it but i i believe

00:01:39.160 that did she do one with your dad where she was talking with him yeah about their relationship

00:01:43.540 their marriage and stuff like that that sounds fascinating yeah it was pretty cute okay before

00:01:47.800 we get into all this can you give a brief background about who you are and what it is you do

00:01:51.820 Sure. Yeah, my name is Luke Cook. I'm an actor. You may know me from Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Dynasty, Dollface. And I've been acting since I was a teenager. And then in the last few years, I've kind of found myself with this following on Instagram and TikTok, where I just make really silly content. And not until recently did I start a podcast where I talk about health and wellness, but in a light way.

00:02:20.160 And also not just health and wellness.

00:02:21.460 I just, I just had an OnlyFans guy on, I've got an escort coming next week, so I kind

00:02:26.960 of keep it sexy and interesting and not just talking about how good Omega threes are for

00:02:31.540 you all the time that gets bland.

00:02:33.480 It does get bland.

00:02:34.180 I kind of started my podcast in the health niche too, mostly because that's what I was

00:02:38.200 interested in learning about.

00:02:39.400 So I was like, oh, I can just sneak all these experts in, have conversations.

00:02:43.060 Hey, it's for my podcast.

00:02:44.380 Can I just pick your brain for an hour?

00:02:46.620 Sure.

00:02:47.120 Like, ha, what a scam.

00:02:49.460 Yeah, exactly.

00:02:49.860 but you see like it only takes one podcast for somebody to say how good meat is that you're just

00:02:54.560 and then you're finished i mean as far as your diet is concerned it's like is salt good good

00:02:58.300 is me good good i think we're done yeah i had to move away from it there's only so much you can say

00:03:03.960 that's funny yeah now you're in the space of excuse me but you're in the space of doing like

00:03:08.720 having arguments or getting people who disagree with each other on your podcast which i just think

00:03:13.220 is it's amazing that people can paint you as anything like that people can paint you as this

00:03:17.620 wild crazy conservative when you have people of multiple viewpoints on your podcast i know it's

00:03:23.640 ridiculous the real conservative um my husband i was just i was wearing a edward scissorhands i'm

00:03:30.640 still kind of pissed off i i entered this podcast like angry because i couldn't figure out how to

00:03:34.720 turn a light on and then i was wearing this edward scissorhands shirt and it was really cool it's my

00:03:39.080 favorite shirt and he's like that shirt looks bad i was like it doesn't look bad it's really cool

00:03:44.380 and he's like it's ratty and you should wear something cuter i was like that's what a

00:03:49.000 conservative person is like nicks in my edward scissorhands shirt anyway i did change it actually

00:03:54.560 did look bad it turned out on camera but that's not the point yeah well it turns out he's right

00:03:59.360 too so that's annoying so how did you get started i want to get into your acting a little bit uh

00:04:05.520 and what that's like i've always been interested in in acting i don't think i could do it though

00:04:09.720 you know it's kind of like when you talk to a singing teacher they'll say that anyone can sing

00:04:13.360 and I think I think you could look the fact that you can speak publicly that's a huge uh you know

00:04:21.240 step to get over in order to be an actor in the first place people say that there's two things

00:04:26.700 that freak everyone out it's bugs and public speaking well you're already good at public

00:04:29.940 speaking you can already do it you're not afraid to do it I say like add it now add learning lines

00:04:35.380 to it and then that's the next phase and then add character to it and thinking about what

00:04:40.440 is my part in this story a lot of people get into acting thinking that it's all going to be a big

00:04:45.940 show about them and some people that that you you probably wouldn't like that but the actually the

00:04:50.680 idea of acting is that i play a brick in the wall of a whole story so you don't have to get up and

00:04:56.280 entertain or be amazing you just have to play your part uh so you know so so often we see parts in

00:05:01.220 tv which are it's just a guy delivering pizza and there's nothing about the scene all he has

00:05:06.000 to do is deliver the pizza if you got if you get a guy who's an entertainer on there he'll want to

00:05:10.240 do too much. And it's like, no, just deliver the pizza. That's your job. And that's the job of

00:05:14.860 most actors. Just deliver the pizza. Just be the brick in the wall. You don't have to do much more

00:05:19.960 than that. So I think that you may be overstating or you have overthought what it means to be an

00:05:24.860 actor. It's actually quite simple. It's just playing your part in a story. So you're about

00:05:30.160 to have another baby. Yes. Yes. We're about to have a second boy in November. He'll be born

00:05:36.060 about the same time as my other son who's turning two at the same time. Very nervous and excited at

00:05:43.200 the same time. What are you nervous about? Just the challenge of a new thing that you've got to

00:05:48.980 keep alive. You just don't know what, you just don't know with my wife, you can't tell how she's

00:05:55.920 going to be able to handle it. If she's going to have a battle, the first baby that we had,

00:06:00.140 she had trouble feeding him mastitis and she thought she was going to die. It was a real

00:06:04.460 struggle she had about five different pros come in to try and teach her how to do it and it was

00:06:11.100 just a battle and it was just a stressful time so and then and then there's the change of then

00:06:17.040 there's that initial period and then there's the change of all the time you know the of how

00:06:21.140 inconvenient having a second one might be there's really going to have to be all like one person is

00:06:25.760 going to have to man one of the children and another person is going to man the other one

00:06:29.240 and what that's going to mean for my personal time of which, you know, I value that time.

00:06:34.280 I really like love to go and be by myself, make stupid content, do what I need to do.

00:06:39.220 Now there's a second priority. And yeah, it's all a negotiation, I find. And I'm nervous about

00:06:49.240 continuing to negotiate. I think that's probably wise.

00:06:52.620 yeah how do you do you did you struggle with negotiating like time you you're a person who

00:06:58.940 was like working for yourself and also like trying to make content and stuff like this did

00:07:03.340 you struggle to negotiate that time alone to be with your kid and and to go and work too

00:07:08.040 i wasn't alone for the first year yeah but you had to negotiate with him right in order to be

00:07:15.060 able to go and do your thing oh um honestly i i really wasn't alone for about a year i just had

00:07:21.340 scarlet kind of strapped to me and i had a lot of chairs that she could sit in she was just kind of

00:07:26.360 attached to me really uh which was i i don't think was great for me i think that there are some women

00:07:31.860 that are really built to do child care as their primary thing like my sister-in-law she's really

00:07:37.600 good at it and i like i was a nanny for a number of years um as a teenager and in my young 20s and

00:07:44.480 i really enjoyed it but like i don't think i'm agreeable enough to have like a baby strapped to

00:07:48.840 me constantly. I go a little bit nuts with like, there's a bunch of things I want to do. How do I

00:07:53.760 do them? Like, it's like a frustrating position to be in. And I'm sure lots of people when they

00:07:57.700 first have a baby get, I wasn't frustrated with Scarlett. It's just frustrating to have something

00:08:03.040 that, I mean, I don't know if that's narcissistic or what, but that isn't you to like take care of.

00:08:09.120 It wasn't her either exactly that was frustrating. It was, I missed the productivity, honestly. It's

00:08:15.500 simple as that but it was worth it like you i i know now that when i have another kid and i'm

00:08:20.220 planning on having more kids i need to wrap my wrap my mind around really taking at least six

00:08:26.860 months off just being like okay the baby's here that six months don't worry about work i had like

00:08:33.020 work guilt and things hanging over me it's like don't worry about it you have like a new life

00:08:37.980 focus on that that'll pass and then you can have some more productive time i mean i navigated it

00:08:43.660 scarlet's great i'm alive so everything worked out it is deeply inconvenient like we and that's how

00:08:50.980 young people mostly think about kids it is deeply yeah yeah you just you can't imagine how much

00:08:56.600 you're going to love this little thing though yeah like beyond any love for any adult you've

00:09:01.940 ever met in your life you will have this love for this thing so yes inconvenient but also deep love

00:09:07.820 the other thing i'll say is the the difficulty of the negotiation especially with between partners

00:09:12.280 on taking care of kids is, well, you assume that like, so for instance, when Kara had our first

00:09:17.360 child, I was like, okay, great. Well, it looks like you're going to take care of him and I'm

00:09:22.380 going to go on work and you're going to rest and, you know, recuperate and take care of him. And

00:09:26.340 that's, that's going to be your thing. But it turns out, no, it's actually like, no, we're 50,

00:09:31.240 50 splitting and you're going to go on work. And so, and that's, and that's difficult. So,

00:09:38.120 And I, it's really important to like, kind of be open about, you know, are you going

00:09:45.000 to be, are you going, are you going to really want to be a mom and be a mom like a lot?

00:09:48.860 Or are you, we wanting to split this of which point a guy has to go, it'd be great to get

00:09:53.560 some help.

00:09:54.180 Maybe a family member.

00:09:55.620 Yeah.

00:09:56.260 So being near family is incredible.

00:09:58.300 So if, you know, my mother-in-law, for instance, she's in, she's an amazing person and, and

00:10:02.480 very, very helpful.

00:10:03.860 my mom describes my mother-in-law as having a servant's heart which she very much does

00:10:08.620 so like one night she just gave all of us foot um spas and she's just that type of person she's

00:10:14.860 brought out the foot spa and you know she's and she's a cleaner by trade um and to have her around

00:10:20.400 was just a godsend it is beyond what you could like you know we're beyond thankful to have

00:10:24.820 somebody like that so if you can have family nearby highly guaranteed yeah highly recommended

00:10:29.860 sorry yeah yeah yeah i i agree i think that's what my parents were on tour when i had scarlet for

00:10:35.580 you know that was like when things got really quick crazy in 2017 2018 and my in-laws didn't

00:10:42.600 like me so that was an issue so so it was tough it was tough but i i do agree that the overwhelming

00:10:50.240 love makes it worth it it's tricky society is also not optimized for that at all like i know

00:10:54.520 i've done some research on how tribes used to operate and you'd have women that had you'd have

00:10:59.260 different roles in tribes right so you'd have the women that were really good at taking care of kids

00:11:03.640 taking care of kids and then you'd have women off going to get food and then you'd have people

00:11:08.140 hunting you have people building things but it wasn't like like now families are so isolated

00:11:14.220 that it's like well the woman in that family or the man or however it's split up they'll be the

00:11:19.800 one staying at home and if you have two hyper productive people then you're kind of like

00:11:24.040 missing a person. But regardless, I would say children are still worth it. You just have to

00:11:31.880 figure out how to navigate that, right? Like figure out how to get help, I think is important,

00:11:35.700 especially if you can afford help, figure out how to get some people there. Ideally, I mean,

00:11:39.940 if you have family around. Yeah, family, you just don't have to pay for. That's a good thing about

00:11:43.260 family. But the other thing about the tribes is, which is amazing to think about, is they shared

00:11:47.500 breastfeeding duties. So there will be like six women doing the breastfeeding who could do it at

00:11:53.560 any one time can you imagine that makes way more sense yeah oh that can you imagine that's cool

00:11:59.760 yeah like they would have been like strong as anything okay i didn't i didn't think about that

00:12:04.540 yeah for from a health perspective an immune system perspective but also when you first have

00:12:08.800 a kid like they're attached to you they're nursing like every two hours it's crazy and then you don't

00:12:13.820 sleep it's like good luck like not especially if you're not inclined to use formula and i was so

00:12:18.800 paranoid about formula. Um, I was like, nah, not doing any formula. Um, and it was like every two

00:12:25.500 hours, which is not conducive to staying sane. Yeah. I mean, I figured out that Cara who was

00:12:32.600 going through hell, wasn't willing to part with the hell. I was like, let me, let's do a, let's

00:12:37.700 do a bit of formula. She's like, no, I know. And I'm like, you're in hell. You're in hell. And she

00:12:41.980 just doesn't want to leave. And so I found out that I discovered that about my partner during

00:12:46.160 that time was like oh my gosh like you actually like if i offer you a way out of hell you don't

00:12:52.440 necessarily take it i don't know if it's martyrdom or if it's like i don't know what it is but

00:12:56.700 eventually i think i was like that right yeah when she was first born i was like yeah no no no i

00:13:03.900 wasn't sleeping in things and it was like no she's not leaving me it was like you're going crazy

00:13:08.720 it's like i know i can't i can't live like this but like we'll just see what happens i guess

00:14:35.500 does but if you are if you're out there and you're listening to this and you're like oh how do i do

00:14:39.300 it there is a way you know you get it the best you know uh formula that you can afford there's

00:14:43.940 a really good company called serenity kids they do an a2 formula yeah they're amazing and you mix

00:14:49.600 it with uh cod liver oil so vitamin d and dha and then a kid's probiotic um with the backdo

00:14:56.580 all that one um and so it's coming close to breast milk but still not it's nothing's going

00:15:02.140 to be as good but there is a way in which you can you know if you're going through hell you know

00:15:07.240 maybe go okay 50 50 i'll do 50 the formula does the other 50 give yourself a break yeah stay sane

00:15:15.060 now it's better for your relationship too because it's it's hard it can be tough at the beginning

00:15:20.200 yeah especially if you're both kind of going crazy yeah okay so that's interesting the serenity kids

00:15:26.060 i like serenity kids like their their food that is good kid food that's good adult food like that's

00:15:31.820 good food serenity kids and you said you mix cod liver oil in and will be that they do babies like

00:15:39.500 you know as far as they're concerned they don't know what horrendous fish tastes like they'll do

00:15:43.800 it they'll do you know they'll do they'll do liver like you know one of chaplains first foods was

00:15:47.960 liver and we were watching him like hold this long slit like it was um this long string of liver

00:15:53.180 because they can't choke on it because it's too big so he's just kind of gnawing on it and we're

00:15:58.120 like that i we would i would never eat liver straight like that but you can't you can't yuck

00:16:03.300 their yum if they like it it's just like good it's so nutritious and great for them but yeah

00:16:07.300 cod liver oil is one of those things super high in dha and vitamin d cool okay yeah well that's

00:16:12.460 that's helpful information um i started following you a long time ago and your instagram's very

00:16:17.500 entertaining and your tiktok is quite entertaining too so i would recommend that it's good it's good

00:16:22.960 instagram content rather than just following political people all the time yes yes i had a

00:16:27.920 woman the other day she didn't follow me but she was like i posted this mockery of adam levine um

00:16:34.200 and and she was like uh luke cook who are you gonna vote for in the midterms and why and i was

00:16:40.440 like well firstly i'm not an american uh and secondly like not everything has to be about that

00:16:46.800 she's like you're posting trash gossip let's talk about something with substance and i'm like you

00:16:51.200 know a lot of people don't um don't see politics as straight substance there's a lot of trash in

00:16:57.160 politics. And a lot of people are tired of it. And I think they'd rather talk about gossip and

00:17:00.920 nothing things than talk about politics. Let's not assume that politics is so interesting to

00:17:09.540 people or so vital or so substantial. I think people are fed up with it.

00:17:12.420 It's also full of gossip as well. It's kind of the same thing.

00:17:15.820 Absolutely. And these people who are politicians and they're as immoral as anything and we're

00:17:21.200 following along and they have something of substance to give and they're all stringing

00:17:25.280 us along too sorry i'm getting a little bit like ranty but i'm not i don't think that i don't think

00:17:29.920 that talking about politics is necessarily like you know nutritious conversation or conversation

00:17:34.780 to stay sane that's why i'm trying to keep it light on instagram that was the point of that

00:17:38.320 rant i want to keep things light and fun so that you know you have a break from all of the news

00:17:43.140 i think that's good maybe if everyone just took a break people would be saner just quit following

00:17:47.320 anyone who discusses anything political i went through instagram the other day and i followed

00:17:51.840 a bunch of people. And I was like, it's too strict. It's not, I don't get stressed really

00:17:55.940 from it, but like, it's not, I get worked up for sure. Like they did what this stupidity is going

00:18:01.860 on, which is like, you should be aware, but I don't know how much of that actually just plays

00:18:06.540 into increasing the amount of stupidity that's around. Yes. I'm not sure actually that how much

00:18:11.220 awareness actually helps anything. Like my awareness of the situation in South Korea,

00:18:18.360 North Korea I'm not sure that I could actually do anything about that I I think that if I can

00:18:22.900 be good to my neighbors my family and my friends strangers on the street if I can be good and

00:18:28.420 loving to them then surely that does more good for the general populace than me worrying about

00:18:33.480 the Ukraine you know and me being aware of the I don't know what my awareness can possibly do

00:18:38.920 it it might tell me who to vote for uh like really like that's really like the height of

00:18:44.460 awareness like i don't know i don't know if awareness actually does does that much i think

00:18:49.560 that you can do much more within your inner circle right now than you can do about being aware of

00:18:54.160 what's going on on the other side of the world i like that i think i probably have a mixed opinion

00:18:58.140 on that i feel like some people being aware about things can help but for the majority of people

00:19:03.560 maybe being less aware and focusing on people nearby and being a good person is what helps

00:19:09.280 Yeah. Rather than trying to fix something far away. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My dad seems to be able

00:19:14.180 to care about a lot of different situations and connect them. Right. And well, I guess he can

00:19:18.980 kind of understand them all too. You know, for me, it's just a big mess. I don't know what NATO is

00:19:24.100 and I don't know what's going on in Russia and Ukraine. I really don't understand it. Whereas

00:19:27.820 he might understand the history of everything like that, which would kind of make it an

00:19:31.460 intellectual pursuit, which would be enjoyable, but not, not, it's just not for me. No, fair

00:19:37.860 Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay. So let's get into acting a little bit. You said you've been acting

00:19:43.560 since you were a kid. When did, did you want to do that? Were you forced into it? How old were

00:19:48.740 you when it started? Oh, no, I wasn't a child star by any means. I was, I just liked going and doing

00:19:53.580 the plays in school. And I just found that I was happiest there. There was no, I do often think

00:20:02.260 about the expectations of my peers about them going, Oh, cook's going to do the play. He'll do

00:20:07.080 the play um and if i met tried to meet those expectations or if it's really what i wanted

00:20:12.340 but i would just i did find that i just had this entertainment bone i don't really if i was to re

00:20:17.520 if i was to say what i do i would say i'm more of an entertainer than an actor because i just like

00:20:23.300 trying to try to make people laugh rather than like pure actors like colin firth for instance

00:20:29.240 like that guy doesn't have instagram he's not interested in at all he doesn't he doesn't do

00:20:33.980 you know, um, campaigns to make people love him. He just wants to show upset up on set and act.

00:20:39.200 Whereas I want a little bit more than that. I'd like to like be able to make you laugh

00:20:43.240 every second day if I can. Why, why do you care about that?

00:20:48.960 It's not that I care. It's just that if I see that, um, for a lot of people, I, you wouldn't

00:20:56.260 believe the amount of messages I get of people who write to me and say, I was having the worst day

00:21:00.140 and i just come to your page and you did this video and i just i did a 180 on where i was

00:21:07.320 and you just go okay well that that's worth something that's uh like if i can turn your

00:21:11.700 day around with a laugh that's actually like worth something to people i mean and then this

00:21:15.860 is and also michaela this is me convincing myself that what i do is worthwhile too like i i have to

00:21:21.560 make sure that like i want to keep doing it and you know and say that and not think of myself as

00:21:26.960 this idiot clown all the time. Like there's, there's, I do, but I do honestly think that

00:21:32.360 some good comes of my silliness. Um, so yeah, that's why I keep going at the same time. I do

00:21:40.880 need breaks. Like I need a break probably around now. I've been going too hard for too long and

00:21:46.040 the brain needs to stop thinking of the world as content and start thinking of the world as the

00:21:50.360 world. Hmm. I like that. Okay. So do you think adding in your podcast to all the social media

00:21:56.500 is just it's a lot of content right now it's a lot of content and it's just yeah it's I like

00:22:01.400 the podcast because it gives people another another look inside of who I am rather than

00:22:05.560 just the silliness or just the big acting roles it also gives them like get an access to me and

00:22:11.740 and what I find interesting but it isn't it is crazy like I am a sensitive human being so if I

00:22:18.100 put information out into the world from somebody who knows what they're talking about people get

00:22:22.800 angry at that yesterday i did a video about 5g and i had a doctor on there talking about the

00:22:27.540 effects of emfs and 5g and 5g plus oh no which is you know i have you know so avoided that

00:22:34.540 well okay so she talked about how it's an ex she talked about how it's an experiment on an

00:22:40.020 experiment anyway i posted it and she like what it does to the cells it makes like calcium leak

00:22:44.800 from the cell essentially of your in your body and people were just so angry and and people were

00:22:50.860 like this is misinformation you have a huge platform you should get somebody on here who

00:22:55.080 disagrees with it with peer-reviewed studies blah blah blah talking me irresponsible saying that she

00:23:00.440 wasn't a real doctor um and i was like okay well like um i really i really hate this because it's

00:23:08.080 not a hill i want to die on because it's not that i it's not that i agree or disagree with her it's

00:23:13.680 just that i'm putting information out into the world and people are saying you can't put that

00:23:17.440 information out into the world and i'm just too sensitive for it so i'm trying to i love being

00:23:22.640 controversial but i don't i don't like it in that way i don't like when people are yelling at me i

00:23:27.720 i can't quite take that i think you get used to it i like i really do think you get used to it

00:23:32.880 yeah you you get used to it it's much more stressful at the beginning and then later it's

00:23:36.720 like yeah they'll just unfollow you and go follow somebody else yeah and i do wonder i have yeah i

00:23:42.920 have to one and ask myself the question, am I being a pussy or, or am I, am I sensitive?

00:23:49.720 And that's a thing to say that you go, okay, well, I don't want to feel this way. Or am I supposed to

00:23:54.040 go into the unknown a little bit, go like, okay, you don't like it. And you can't take, you know,

00:23:59.000 people asking questions and talking about certain issues, then F yeah, I'm going to keep going

00:24:03.660 though. So I, I, I fight with that idea in my brain. I think it's that, I think then you get

00:24:09.860 less sensitive to it too like i really do think it's that because also people if someone's following

00:24:15.120 you and they're like oh i don't like this one person you talk to and they can't understand

00:24:18.600 that you're a human being who's inviting other human beings onto a podcast that and you guys

00:24:24.560 both have flaws and it's just information if that person can't understand that then who cares what

00:24:30.660 that person thinks you're right but you did just call me a pussy at the beginning of the journey

00:24:38.260 though maybe it's stressful it's stressful when people disagree with you especially if you're

00:24:42.900 talking about things like 5g and those are just people who really like their their cell phones

00:24:48.280 and their airpods and things this is why i've avoided this people are like you're frying your

00:24:52.000 brain and i'm like you know what probably i know i know look and here's the thing that i don't

00:24:58.260 necessarily think that it's as bad as certain people might say it is or as fine as people say

00:25:04.100 it is all i know is that i don't i wouldn't put my son's cot next to the wi-fi router would you

00:25:09.380 put your baby's cot next to the wi-fi router and no one is going to say yes to that and you go why

00:25:14.920 and you go well just because you don't know well well then well then we should be able to talk

00:25:18.760 about it would you put your son's cot next to the microwave absolutely hell no oh okay well then

00:25:25.060 let's take it a step down let's go to wi-fi let's go to 5g let's ask those questions i just think

00:25:29.820 it's like but i you know but we should be able to talk about it you know it's like the it's like

00:25:35.060 the big v we weren't allowed to talk about that a lot of women were saying that it helped like they

00:25:39.200 they got their periods late after the vaccine they were talked down to they were scolded they

00:25:44.040 would gaslight it i hate using that word because it's so popular now but it's true they were

00:25:47.540 gaslighted and then you end up finding out that they were correct that they weren't lying at all

00:25:51.840 and that a huge percentage of the population the female population had late periods because of the

00:25:56.340 vaccine so it's like the question that you couldn't ask only 10 months ago is now factual

00:26:02.140 yeah that's why you also can't cower not saying you're cowering either but that's why you also

00:26:10.000 can't take the masses seriously too if you have an inkling about something like you can be wrong

00:26:15.360 a lot of the time but you might be talking about something that's true so if you're like well maybe

00:26:19.520 i'll shy away from that and then 10 months later it's like oh no that was spot on and i knew it

00:26:23.740 i'd say like people who actually follow you too and who are sane are forgiving if you run across

00:26:29.400 someone who's like not forgiving then just ignore them i appreciate that that's good advice plus it

00:26:34.300 gets easier the more it happens like when when and it really does that like controversy my dad

00:26:39.220 went through every time when he first like became more well known every time there was a negative

00:26:44.680 article you know like new york times there was one that was pretty and i think they made more of an

00:26:49.240 impact to before. I think they come out now and people are like, eh, no one trusts mainstream

00:26:53.640 media anyway. But in 2018, it was a bit of a different story. And every time it was like the

00:26:59.280 end of the world, it was so stressful. It's the end of the world. It was what are friends going

00:27:02.900 to think? How is this going to impact my job? It was like crazy. And it'd be this like week and a

00:27:08.100 half of just utter panic. And then things would just continue and things would get better.

00:27:15.200 like it wasn't even negative it looked negative but it turned out to be positive later and so

00:27:20.300 now it's just like it's kind of a joke i don't know if that's how mainstream media is or if you

00:27:25.400 just you really just get used to it yeah i'd love to know about like how how we can remain resilient

00:27:31.500 to like stay on our message despite that the ample hate that can come in as a result of what you do

00:27:39.460 you know even having a discussion with somebody on a podcast or telling young men that they're

00:27:44.140 worth worthy of existence you know spreading that message and it cops you a barrage of hate

00:27:51.760 and then you're just like wow you know maybe i'm on the right path then actually yeah yeah that and

00:27:59.280 also you have to look at how much support you're getting because you know you focus on the hate

00:28:03.200 it's way easier to focus on the hate usually you have to just listen to the voice in your head i

00:28:07.380 think at some point like well really think about it are you doing anything wrong and if there's

00:28:12.540 nothing in you that's like well did you lie about something like are you you know living a lie like

00:28:17.660 that conversation where you're just curious about it you're just talking to someone about it there's

00:28:21.980 nothing wrong with that so then you can ignore everybody else if you're right fuck them yeah

00:28:26.800 yeah i like that i don't know how how well that attitude works in hollywood though yeah i mean i

00:28:31.980 yeah i'm i'm not sure about hollywood anyway i i really can't continue to try and figure out in my

00:28:37.260 head what hollywood is what hollywood wants what they don't want i i i can't because um if i keep

00:28:45.620 thinking about it i'll just go insane i have to just be myself i i i can't find any other way

00:28:50.440 around it i've been trying and thinking about what do they want what do they want they want this

00:28:54.380 and it's like if you want to do a dance in your underpants luke to taylor dane go go for it

00:28:59.260 fuck them they'll figure it out is is it you is it your truth is this really what you want to do

00:29:03.760 then go for it f them they'll figure it out if they don't want you fine are you going to be not

00:29:08.360 yourself and pretend to be this henry cavill serious english man for the rest of your life

00:29:13.080 where i'm like you know i don't even have sex you know it's like uh like i don't want to be a

00:29:19.520 i don't i just i'm not bland i'm just not so i refuse to pretend to be bland in order to fit in

00:29:25.580 with you know the hollywood leading men who are just like you know like have you ever done anal

00:29:31.500 like have they ever done anal have they ever tried something new have they ever done a bump

00:29:35.240 of coke like what do we what do we know about these people like who are we look up to this is

00:29:40.520 why they avoid this is why they avoid instagram henry cavill bland that's funny but he's he's

00:29:48.560 so handsome though i mean what are you gonna do he's so handsome doesn't matter he he's very

00:29:54.220 handsome i when i was like 23 i remember for some reason i don't even know why i got on this i was

00:30:00.440 on a lot of adderall and that is that's a dangerous thing to do and i needed to be on it for

00:30:05.720 chronic fatigue in order to stay awake but like that doesn't mean that i didn't have adderall

00:30:10.140 side effects and i got it into my head i was living with my one of my dad's grad students

00:30:14.120 and we just decided to find the most attractive people on the internet just to see you know and

00:30:19.240 i don't know it's like i think i got into i was like do is what women find attractive the same

00:30:26.000 thing is what men find attractive so i was like this is what i think the most attractive men it

00:30:30.180 looks like what do you think the most attractive man looks like and this is like a psychology

00:30:34.900 phd student so we were having this conversation for a while i think it was mostly adderall

00:30:38.980 induced anyway long story short henry cavill that's what i determined was like the most

00:30:43.620 attractive man out there when i was incredibly attractive and he's so attractive it necessitate

00:30:50.740 like he doesn't even have to have a personality he's that good looking you know so for every

00:30:56.900 point of attractiveness under i under henry cavill i am i kind of have a notch of personality

00:31:03.440 that he didn't get you know what i mean i feel like that's a good trade-off though it's a good

00:31:08.000 trade-off i'll take character any day that would be nice to know what it's like to be a 10 though

00:31:12.120 it would be nice to know what that's like like a full 10 like in like undeniably like 10 as you

00:31:19.640 walk down the street it'd be nice to know what that feels like it probably feels fantastic like

00:31:24.260 I feel like anyone saying it doesn't feel fantastic is just lying. It's like, Oh no,

00:31:28.140 people look at me too much. Yeah, exactly. Oh, okay. No, that is a thing. Sorry. I will say

00:31:32.440 that is a thing. And I I've known like some incredibly beautiful women. Um, and they,

00:31:38.420 you know, you think about, uh, for a beautiful woman who just, they make men so self-conscious

00:31:43.780 so that they never actually get to hang out with a, um, a guy who is just relaxed and who can be

00:31:50.700 himself because the guy's always putting it on on airs because he's around this like incredibly

00:31:54.640 attractive woman i do feel sorry for very very very attractive women i think it's really really

00:32:00.420 hard because they never get this is that is that dependent on the man they're around though or do

00:32:06.140 you get to the level where it's just all men i think they i think they would love to be in the

00:32:09.940 in the presence of gay men because gay men aren't wouldn't be attracted to them so that they can be

00:32:14.260 so they can feel like a male a male relationship that is relaxed there you just can't fathom

00:32:20.480 how uncomfortable men get around very, very attractive women. They stutter on their words,

00:32:27.640 even if they're very confident, they put on an airs, they act like they're better than they are,

00:32:31.980 and they don't even realize that they're doing it. And so these women are like, wait, is this

00:32:37.160 what men are like? It's awful. It makes me feel uncomfortable because if you were hanging out and

00:32:44.060 you're uncomfortable, I'll probably feel a discomfort too. So it's like all these women

00:32:48.440 ever get to know is uncomfortable men, self-conscious men. I reckon it'd be really

00:32:53.420 hard. You actually never get a view into a nice, relaxed man. I know you're trying to work on my

00:33:00.480 pity for women that are a 10, but I'm just, I'm not. I'm trying. I'm trying. I don't feel it

00:33:04.900 though, like anywhere. I get that, but okay. Maybe a little 10% pity there. Maybe. I don't

00:33:13.300 know it's just stretch you know you you can hang out Michaela and you're still very attractive

00:33:20.160 but you can be one of the boys and the boys can relax and it's all good like Victoria's Secret

00:33:25.560 models as in not the new ones the old ones they sit down at a at a table full of men

00:33:32.680 men cannot handle themselves they just like they can't even look them in the eye so think about a

00:33:38.440 woman who's a 10 who's she's like why can't this guy look me in the eye like why kind of there's

00:33:43.920 not one can make eye contact with me it's because the man is like could I get you a drink you know

00:33:51.540 sputtering like idiots like that's all that they get to know okay I can understand you don't have

00:33:57.540 no I don't not really um no I don't I don't I can see why one would but I don't does everybody

00:34:05.680 in hollywood have a nose job um i not nose job but everybody in hollywood has work done

00:34:12.900 so that the people that you have in your mind has been the most attractive that you would like to

00:34:17.420 look like have all had ample work done over the years have you seen angelina jolie recently looks

00:34:23.640 exactly the same as she did 20 years ago she looks great she's incredible i mean you know

00:34:29.320 she's always been number one for me i mean she's always been like oh my god she's still

00:34:32.780 my wife too is incredibly attractive but i'm talking yes like the people we're pinning up

00:34:39.440 on our walls going i want to look like that they've all had work done not one of them hasn't

00:34:43.820 because they can be so subtle now with all the things that they can do to you including to the

00:34:48.040 nose that like you they look exactly like they did 10 years ago but you know so we all think

00:34:54.240 yeah we all think that they're doing they're eating things that are really good for them and

00:34:58.240 so that's why they look that way no they're not eating collagen for breakfast lunch and dinner

00:35:01.880 they're getting worked on ample so it's not just college collagen and olive oil no collagen olive

00:35:07.200 oil and yogurt ain't it but if i was to choose it if i was to choose a diet just for beauty

00:35:13.400 it would be collagen yogurt and green juice green juice yeah like a cold press green juice

00:35:22.540 uh without the no kale no spinach no collard greens the low oxalate greens and and but by

00:35:30.280 the way your skin will still sag because they haven't found that collagen actually links to

00:35:34.820 your skin yet and has any effect aesthetically on your skin what i didn't know that so all that

00:35:40.800 marketing is a lie it's kind of a lie it's it's probably good for you it's definitely good for

00:35:46.300 you to have more collagen collagen goes down as you age helps with the elastin in your skin but

00:35:50.800 we there's no there's been no science that proves that it aesthetically helps your skin or your

00:35:56.240 face it's still great for you super high in glycine and great for the gut but um yeah no we

00:36:02.120 don't know that it does anything for the skin the nails or the hair yet i actually didn't know that

00:36:06.640 shockingly enough that is kind of sad so you can't you can't drink collagen and have stronger

00:36:11.760 nails they actually haven't found an association no i don't think so but you know you you eat a lot

00:36:16.360 of meat okay so you've heard of this thing called methionine toxicity one of the things that helps

00:36:20.520 with methionine toxicity when you eat too much animal foods is glycine which is in bone broth

00:36:25.340 and super high in bone broth so if you're eating nose to tail or if you're eating a whole bunch of

00:36:30.000 meat it's good to have some a bunch of glycine too like bone broth can balance out the methionine

00:36:34.820 i'm so do you drink bone broth can you drink bone broth yeah but i don't i really basically just eat

00:36:42.100 like red meat and steak and burgers and burgers yeah but just the burger like patties

00:36:51.940 right yeah i was gonna say you can't just throw in it's just like the same but ground version

00:36:57.880 yeah no so not burgers yeah yeah it's good it's some variety brisket and then ground brisket

00:37:05.920 you know you know how it is but um no i like when i eat soup i was eating i was trying to eat bone

00:37:12.220 broth at the beginning of the diet because i don't know you hear about what you need and everything

00:37:16.040 and i was like well maybe bone broth is healthy and it upset my stomach i've got histamine

00:37:20.880 intolerance, like crazy. So anything aged and bone broth is just, it isn't, my stomach can't

00:37:27.140 handle it. So I eat soup, but it's like meat. I just pressure cook meat. And then that turns

00:37:32.460 into soup, which is also great. I wonder if you could pressure cook bones. It does take too long

00:37:37.760 though, doesn't it? So the histamines go up over the hours. If they're not aged, probably. I know

00:37:42.500 bones generally aren't as aged, but the last time I pressure cooked bones, my stomach didn't like it.

00:37:47.080 and so no i really just eat meat and meat soup and different forms of of meat i don't even eat

00:37:53.440 organs and i've been doing it since 2017 yeah yeah you can't have liver you can't have no i do

00:38:00.000 i just don't i don't like it do you actually like does anyone like it's disgusting yeah no i'm not

00:38:04.680 eating that i i think i've eaten it basically once a year since 2017 um and then i don't think i've

00:38:11.340 had it in the last two years yeah and so how do you do you take a pill form or have you had the

00:38:16.720 chips yet the carnivore aurelius those are also like disgusting people advertise those they're

00:38:21.760 lying i know this is the best form of liver it's not very much better than normal liver but it's

00:38:26.780 crunchy like it's crunchy exactly it's the texture because the texture of liver is also gross on top

00:38:32.060 of the taste but i can take the taste i just can't take the texture that's why i eat the chips

00:38:36.040 ah no i don't eat liver i don't eat liver chips fair enough and i'm not gonna i'm not gonna force

00:38:42.980 to you okay okay good so your podcast why why do you have such a focus on health like my focus on

00:38:50.140 health is was brought on because it was like a struggle i was dying and i hated people who

00:38:57.080 focused on health with like a passion like the gluten-free people i hated them the people eating

00:39:01.800 organic i hated them too there was no rhyme or reason why i hated the healthy people it didn't

00:39:07.960 even i don't even think it was associated i was just like it's narcissistic and annoying and it's

00:39:12.580 in your face. And I don't want to hear about your weird hippie stores and all of it's false anyway.

00:39:17.760 And then I ended up on this stupid diet that cured me. And now I'm like, okay, fine. Maybe

00:39:22.560 some people out there had a point about alternative health. But why did you get into it?

00:39:27.780 Yeah. I can't say that like, I didn't come from it where I was like struggling with my health at

00:39:31.780 all. I actually got into health and wellness because of, I was vain. And I was like, I want

00:39:35.620 to make sure that I age as well as I possibly can. And then over the years, it's the vanity is

00:39:41.880 fallen away somewhat vanity's still there but um i'm more i'm just and then i became interested

00:39:47.680 and became kind of good at you know when you're when you love when you love what you're listening

00:39:52.620 to you can take in the information very easily and i just loved health and wellness and so

00:39:56.980 um i kind of fell into it thanks to dave asprey i had an ex-girlfriend who used to make um coffee

00:40:04.640 with butter and she'd blend it and i was like what is this why am i drinking butter and she's

00:40:09.080 told me about this Dave Asprey guy. And anyway, when she stopped making those for me, I realized

00:40:15.020 that we needed to break up. And cause she just stopped doing it one day and she was, and I was

00:40:20.660 like, Oh, so you don't really care anymore. That's how I knew that I needed to leave. But so Dave

00:40:25.060 Asprey was kind of my way in. He was the one talking about how fat isn't bad for you. Red

00:40:29.820 meat isn't bad for you. Put butter in your coffee. It's really delicious. And it is, you know,

00:40:34.240 not everyone should do it. And it's not something that I do all the time anymore. And then I was

00:40:38.840 like okay well this is really fun information and everyone's talking about plant-based and i'm like

00:40:43.500 and i'm over here thinking about how great red meat is for everybody it's like okay well and then

00:40:48.680 i found myself in a community i loved dave asprey i loved ben greenfield i'm fascinated by them i

00:40:54.240 love biohacking i love you know getting outside in the nude getting under red light getting my

00:40:59.560 balls on red light does that okay is that real does that work my husband's really into that and

00:41:05.500 i'm just like this is so it's so obnoxious it's so obnoxious like you like last night he's doing

00:41:13.600 it and he like the light shines up it's just like wham right in my eyes and i was just like

00:41:17.500 jordan you need really this doesn't i don't even believe this but is there really there

00:41:23.860 have been scientific studies on like red light on your balls increasing testosterone that's

00:41:29.460 actually peer-reviewed i'm not sure about that no i wouldn't know if it's peer-reviewed or anything

00:41:33.540 like that i i do know that you can overdo it though so you wouldn't be wanting to do more

00:41:37.560 you can overdo it you can you can burn your swimmers if you leave them under a red light

00:41:42.980 for too long so i would be staying i wouldn't be doing it i used to do it for 20 minutes a day when

00:41:47.380 i when i first got into it and that was unnecessary i was like a virile 30 year old um and i need you

00:41:53.320 know i was like you don't really need to help so i reckon just doing it 10 minutes every so often

00:41:58.520 you don't have to be a crazy person about it it you know red light is probably great for you um

00:42:04.860 i i again i don't know what these peer-reviewed things are saying saying but you know on that

00:42:10.700 biohacking thing i also get into like 40 degree water every morning for three minutes first thing

00:42:17.100 cool do you have a yeah i love that you have a cold plunge at your place i got a cold plunge yeah

00:42:22.260 which is a pretty terrific thing i mean mentally what a win to get in get in and out of cold water

00:42:28.160 for three minutes first thing that you do every day and you can get out and it's like coffee before

00:42:32.040 coffee and the studies on that are like excellent like what they found about what has the effects

00:42:37.460 on the brain and that's cool what company do you use they're the it's the it's called the cold

00:42:44.620 plunge and it looks like a what it's a beautiful white bathtub essentially oh i have a friend who

00:42:49.540 has one of those so you like that company i love it love it yeah i mean there's the there's other

00:42:55.400 companies that like where you're basically sitting on ice and now go slightly below 40. This one goes

00:43:00.020 to 40. You don't need to really go below 40. It's as cold as you can believe. And, um, I love it.

00:43:07.040 And it looks, and that's just a good looking bathtub, but, um, and I do it every day. It's

00:43:12.480 something that you can consistently do and you can teach yourself to even get better at. I'm not

00:43:16.500 interested in getting better at it. I'm just interested in getting the benefits brain wise.

00:43:20.340 and um i love it okay i want to do that that one it doesn't you don't have actual ice chunks in

00:43:27.360 there then do you it's just cold cold it's just okay but the benefits are the same benefits are

00:43:33.300 the same i mean i can't imagine that there'd be any benefits to like there'd been a whole bunch

00:43:36.960 of ice in there um looks better but i social media content it does look better for social media

00:43:43.360 that you know you're getting in and shivering and that that'll be enough and saying that it's you

00:43:47.740 know and that you have a thing there that says it's 40 degrees and so everyone can know that

00:43:51.780 you're actually getting into 40 degree thing it's it's it's sensational and so good for you and

00:43:56.820 what they just what they're saying about like norepinephrine and epinephrine in the brain like

00:44:00.880 can go up by 300 percent in some cases just by doing it about 14 minutes a week so that's not a

00:44:08.100 lot and pretty terrific for the brain interesting okay i'm gonna do that i got a sauna i've wanted

00:44:15.220 a sauna i've wanted a sauna for years yeah and i have one now and it's amazing what did you get the

00:44:22.020 infrared or did you get the i have an infrared are you finding it's helping with your condition

00:44:26.860 is it helping with inflammation i don't really have very many symptoms anymore but it helps if

00:44:33.980 i get worked up about something like if i'm stressed out it helps and if i accidentally

00:44:38.440 eat something that gives me a reaction it helps it makes me feel good like it makes me feel good

00:44:43.620 I really like infrared saunas and I liked it better than the, than the, I guess the ones that

00:44:48.080 aren't infrared that just heat you up. Uh, cause I can stay in there for a lot longer and just

00:44:52.560 sweat. Whereas the other ones I'd heat up and I'd get hot and it's, I'm already in Florida.

00:44:56.880 It's like, I'd rather like get in somewhere and really sweat than heat up as much. So I have a

00:45:03.820 sauna and it doesn't even have heaters at the front. They're ones that have heat. Yeah. Infrared

00:45:08.540 and then they'll have heaters at the front. And I got the type that doesn't even have heaters at

00:45:11.560 front. So it's just sweating. I don't get too hot. It's nice. It's lovely. I think sauna is

00:45:18.200 the next frontier for me. Like that'll be the next thing that I get into. I, I am, I have an

00:45:22.000 issue with heat. I, if I'm over, if I overheat, I get angry. If you want to piss me off, give me a

00:45:27.720 cup of coffee, put me in jeans and send me out in the middle of the day. And that'll do it. I'll be

00:45:33.160 an absolute like irritated, like angry man. And so maybe learning resilience to build heat

00:45:39.300 resilience would be good for me. That's interesting. Well, the type, the type I have

00:45:44.340 doesn't have heaters in it. I don't like the ones that have heaters because getting hot like that

00:45:48.040 makes me uncomfortable and like irritated. Yeah. Although I've gotten a lot much better since I've

00:45:53.940 been on the carnivore diet. I used to be hot all the time and I was on a lot of medication too. So

00:45:57.860 it was probably side effects, but I was like in tank tops and shorts in the winter, hot all the

00:46:03.600 time and i'm not oh and now i'm cold instead it's better though like really cold actually but it's

00:46:10.980 better yeah i mean i'm cold all the time now my body i don't know what it is but ever since doing

00:46:16.000 the cold plunge i'm the one who turns off the air conditioner now and my wife is the one switching

00:46:19.860 it back on and i i'm wearing a sweater in the morning of us in summer like walking around my

00:46:26.240 house and i used to look at people doing that and go what do you do how it's summer how are you doing

00:46:30.260 that that's me now it's very interesting and it has to be the cold or it could be placebo i don't

00:46:36.140 know but i feel generally colder all the time now that's cool okay so that doesn't sound as good for

00:46:44.520 me but that could be good for that could be good for my husband well you should be going you can

00:46:48.880 do the going between thing we go in the sauna jump into the cold plunge back into the sauna

00:46:52.960 and that's been meant to be fantastic for you and dr peter adia has talked about how much his deep

00:46:58.100 sleep is improved by doing that at night before bed his deep sleep's improved by like an hour

00:47:03.120 really by an hour yeah and that is an insane number for anybody listening like it usually

00:47:09.980 just stick to about two hours for a lot of people they just stick to a certain number

00:47:13.040 to refer to increase an hour is that's a big difference i was drinking um electrolytes for

00:47:20.260 quite a while like the flavored electrolytes uh and they've got a they've got a good dose of citric

00:47:25.180 acid in them. And it took me about a year to figure out I was reacting to the citric acid.

00:47:29.800 My deep sleep, I was getting six to 15 minutes of deep sleep a night for a year and a half.

00:47:36.040 Yeah. And it, and it was when my dad was really ill too. And so they overlapped. So I was

00:47:42.560 unbelievably stress intolerant because I wasn't getting any deep sleep. And I was looking at it,

00:47:46.680 it was my aura ring was just like driving me crazy. It was like six minutes. It was like

00:47:50.820 exhausted all the time. I wasn't sleeping. And it turned out it was a citric acid in the electrolytes.

00:47:55.180 So I cut that out. And then my deep sleep in like in the next two weeks went back to an hour,

00:48:01.240 which still isn't, it's not great. Maybe I'll try that out.

00:48:06.520 Well, but I imagine, well, and then also your aura ring can be wrong, but, uh, you know,

00:48:10.940 the other thing that you should, you're, you're, so you're a carnivore, which means very low

00:48:15.300 carbohydrate, which means you need more salt. So how much, how much salt are you and how much

00:48:19.600 electrolytes are you drinking every day? Um, I eat a lot of salt, like, uh, a lot,

00:48:24.900 a lot of salt and I used to add more electrolytes to water the unflavored type so it's just like

00:48:29.740 sodium potassium a little bit of magnesium uh and I don't add too much maybe one a day so that's an

00:48:37.080 extra gram of salt a day um that's that's about it but I eat a lot of salt with my meat good and

00:48:44.000 then your electrolytes uh you have a new electrolyte company and it has it's a salty one right that's

00:48:50.000 the one. I like the salty ones. Super salty. It's going to have a gram of sodium and 300 milligrams

00:48:55.620 of potassium and some magnesium. It's pretty much like you can just make it. I used to mix my own,

00:49:02.000 but they're very salty. And where did the salt come from, if you don't mind me asking?

00:49:06.600 Oh my gosh. Well, it's not like Redmond real salt. I still use it. It's sodium chloride. I don't know.

00:49:13.040 As soon as this episode finished, I had to find out where the salt from my electrolytes is sourced

00:49:17.140 from because I've literally spent two years trying to make these the cleanest electrolytes

00:49:20.760 out there. The salt is mined in Canada. No flow agents are used. It's non-irradiated and totally

00:49:26.500 free of anything other than salt from a mine. So we're good. Thought I'd pop in and explain that

00:49:32.400 real quick. Enjoy the rest of this episode. I don't know why people don't appreciate the

00:49:37.520 like the sweet slash salty thing. I fucking love it. Oh my gosh. I tried to give it to some of

00:49:42.300 people who work for me because it turns out because I've been on the carnivore diet for so

00:49:46.160 long when i was testing out the cherry flavor i have a cherry flavor that's going to be coming

00:49:51.060 out and a salted caramel which is going to be good in tea um but anyway i was testing them out

00:49:57.460 and i was like this these are repulsively sweet like this like this is so sweet like this is way

00:50:03.160 too sweet for me and and i i gave one to a babysitter i was like what do you think about

00:50:08.300 this she goes kind you know it's kind of like tonic water and i was like oh no tonic water

00:50:14.440 doesn't it taste like cherry this was the last iteration so we switched things up um but it

00:50:19.060 turns out my taste buds are so sensitive to sweet that i was like undervaluing how sweet

00:50:24.080 it it was or overvaluing it so normal right and then the yeah eat eat carbs it wasn't sweet to

00:50:31.480 them at all it's like uh got it what about the this how is it sweet is it is it sweet stevia

00:50:37.100 in it or something okay good yeah i like stevia and then um the i reckon the the salted one the

00:50:43.620 salted caramel one that'd be great in coffee because you don't you know like dave asprey's

00:50:48.160 just come out with danger coffee which is coffee slash minerals like in in the beans there's

00:50:52.980 minerals in the beans that's cool and and so if you were to like you know because i put salt in

00:50:58.000 my coffee every morning too salt and cinnamon um because you know coffee obviously saps

00:51:03.560 electrolytes and saps salt from your body and it makes sense like you could put it in a salted

00:51:09.380 caramel coffee that's delicious i know it sounds good okay i'll send it to you you can tell me what

00:51:13.140 you think i don't drink coffee so no i don't drink anything i'm probably not even going to

00:51:17.480 use the flavored electrolytes like they don't have any citric acid in them so for people who

00:51:21.940 get stimulated from citric acid they won't have that issue but um i am still so crazily sensitive

00:51:28.840 to everything that i don't think i can like i don't think i'll be doing that daily anyway

00:51:33.560 it'll it'll overstimulate me i can't even take zinc i can't take zinc because i don't know why

00:51:39.040 I would take zinc cause I only eat meat. I don't really need to take zinc, but I got, I kept

00:51:43.560 getting sick. Scarlet kept bringing home horrifying child sicknesses. And I was just getting child

00:51:48.900 sickness after child sickness. And I was like, maybe I need some zinc and things. And then I

00:51:53.120 couldn't sleep from the zinc. And I was like, okay, I guess, I don't know. What about vitamin

00:51:57.340 C needs as a carnivore? How do you get that? Can you, can you take vitamin C or no? Um, so I don't,

00:52:03.320 uh, I don't take any vitamin and I had a bunch of vitamin deficiencies before the carnivore diet.

00:52:08.120 uh all my vb vitamins were low vitamin d was low i have to get that rechecked i'm in florida now so

00:52:14.540 i'm hoping that's been bumped up but everything zinc was also low everything fixed itself and

00:52:19.760 vitamin c has been been normal for me i don't supplement but when covid was going around a

00:52:25.220 bunch near the beginning i was taking a little bit of vitamin c in a like powder form every day

00:52:29.720 it also tastes really good if all you eat is meat it's got this like sour tart taste that's like

00:52:35.680 it's almost sweet and so yeah ah yeah some vitamin c in my sparkling water sweet

00:52:40.740 it's a minimalist yeah easily pleased like by vitamin c which is like yeah i do not enjoy the

00:52:49.500 taste oh it's so funny my my dad at restaurants he's on the same diet and it's like same thing

00:52:54.540 he's got allergies to everything as well and he'll be like yeah i'll get some can have a sparkling

00:52:59.380 water in a hot water just get the like the two different waters going on so you get that's

00:53:05.420 creative you get creative with variety i mean i imagine that you're into your salts too like it's

00:53:11.680 not just one type oh i've got to send you some colima salt what is that it's it's it's it's it's

00:53:17.980 this new salt from mexico it's flakier than melden no it's so it's so flaky and so crunchy it's

00:53:26.640 amazing and a car we were obsessed with melden before and we put it on everything and now we're

00:53:31.860 putting this kalima stuff it's like getting like every so often they'll just be like a squarish

00:53:36.140 flake like a square like a like a like a 3d square flake yeah it's sensation oh my god it

00:53:43.240 does melden for flakiness every day of the week it's crazy i have to send you some okay i'm into

00:53:47.900 that i i usually use melden oh have they sponsored you yet what no do they do sponsorships no but

00:53:55.740 they should they should sponsor you i tried to get air fryers to sponsor me i was like do you
