Joe Rogan (0:03)

Bryan Callen had his first taste of turmeric coffee.

Bryan Callen (0:06)

That's right.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

Do you know there's an R in turmeric?

Bryan Callen (0:08)

Yes.

Joe Rogan (0:08)

A lot of people don't.

Bryan Callen (0:09)

I've been eating turmeric since, well, the 70s, back when I was living in India.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

I would have bet my life there was no R up until about four months ago. Yeah, I didn't think there was an R.

Bryan Callen (0:17)

Turmeric.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

I thought it was turmeric. I thought it was T-U-M-E-R-I-C or whatever.

Bryan Callen (0:22)

No, the Indians have been using it forever.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Oh yeah, they have, but I'm just saying, I didn't know how to spell it.

Bryan Callen (0:27)

That's why as a kid, I had no inflammation in my body.

Joe Rogan (0:29)

You just ate turmeric all the time. Did your pee smell weird?

Bryan Callen (0:32)

I was the turmeric kid.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

What else makes your pee smell weird besides asparagus?

Bryan Callen (0:36)

I think sometimes coffee.

Look, I'm 52 My body is betraying me, which is why I'm having my Laird Hamilton super coffee right now.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

It's good stuff, right? Look at him, his body's not betraying him.

Bryan Callen (0:47)

Yeah, but what happens is when your body is, I feel like I'm in wet cement when I wake up. Now, for the first time in my life, my feet, I gotta warm them up before I get out of bed, all that bullshit.

Now, Bryan's going to a doc. I'm telling you this right now on Joe Rogan. I'm gonna get jacked. If I look a little vainier and my skin looks a little more flushed, don't ask questions. Just know that I got a good doctor.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

You gotta get on the TRT, Bryan.

Bryan Callen (1:14)

I can't wait.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

You shoulda got on a long time ago. Why don't you listen to me?

Bryan Callen (1:17)

I don't know, I just, cause I wanna think that, you know, my body, my testosterone's a little higher than everybody else's. It was an ego thing.

But now, you know what? We're all mortal.

Joe Rogan (1:27)

Yes.

Bryan Callen (1:28)

Like little things.

Joe Rogan (1:28)

Well, I have wear and tear for sure from all the years of beating up my body, like joints and stuff like that. Like I just had to get some stem cells shot into my knee.

I've had some shot into my shoulder, stuff like that. But in terms of like energy and like vitality and health, I feel fucking great. Yes.

Bryan Callen (1:45)

Here's what I do. Here's my, here's my, I can see it. You got a real, you gotta, ooh, you're wiggling.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

I do, I'm 52, I feel fucking great. I'm in the sauna almost every day. I have a sauna here. Got a sauna in my house.

Bryan Callen (1:55)

You and I are gonna sauna after this rush and stuff.

Joe Rogan (1:57)

Let's do it, let's do it.

Bryan Callen (1:58)

All right.

Joe Rogan (1:58)

Dude, it's so good for you, man. It means something. Something's happening. For sure. After I get out of there, I'm just like a little looser. It's like, it's a percentage. I don't know what percentage it is. It's, is it 10%? Is it, is it more? But there's a feeling that you get after you do a good sauna session where everything is just like, feels good.

Bryan Callen (2:16)

Yeah, but you know, a lot of this also has to do with arriving at a point in your life where you're happy with this, what you've done, the decisions you've made. So I sleep, for me, eight hours of sleep, seven and a half hours, and then I, as long as I don't eat for 12 hours. So if I eat, if I finished eating at eight, and I'll start eating at eight again or 10, that for me, 12 to 14 hours, I guess is intermittent fasting. Those two things, I haven't had a cold in, I don't know, 15 months.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

You're so trendy.

Pavel, Pavel told me, told me, Pavel Tatsulin, who's a metal bell, love that monster, fucking such an honor to have him in here. I'm a big fan of that guy. He told me, eat one today.

Bryan Callen (2:59)

Really?

Joe Rogan (2:59)

Big giant meal at dinner, that's it.

Bryan Callen (3:01)

At dinner?

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Yeah.

Bryan Callen (3:02)

So how does he stay?

Joe Rogan (3:05)

He's just hard, like nails.
