The Joe Rogan Experience. Oh, do you need some?

Joey Diaz (0:16)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

I have some.

Joey Diaz (0:16)

Just in case, if you're gonna show me something interesting.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

Yeah.

Joey Diaz (0:20)

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

So I started doing this red light bed. I started doing two things to help my eyes. One, I started taking pure encapsulations. They have this, what is it called, macrosupport?

What is it called?

Anyway, it's a bunch of supplements that they put together to stop your eyesight from going bad. And it's legit. Macular support.

Joey Diaz (0:52)

That's it. You like it?

Joe Rogan (0:54)

Oh, legit. But it stopped whatever the deterioration that I was experiencing, where my eyesight was starting to go, it stopped.

Just stopped it. And it made it a little bit better. And then I started doing this red light bed. So I had this guy, Gary Brack, on the podcast, who's explained to me how red light revitalizes your capillaries and helps your vision come back.

And so I've been doing that now for about six weeks, and I've noticed an improvement. Like, I don't need reading glasses as much if I'm reading things on my phone. I can read some things that I just was not going to be able to read. And more importantly, it's not getting worse, because it was kind of every six months, eight months or so, I'd notice, my god, my eyes are worse. This is terrible. After like 46, it seemed like, somewhere around 46, it was like it dropped off a cliff.

Joey Diaz (1:44)

And you did the right thing, because you didn't submit to these.

My mistake was to submit to these when I was like 43 44, by 44, I could see I was having problems already. And I submitted to these. And this is worse for you. That's why I used to tell you, don't put the glasses on, hold on, to make your eyes muscle that thing. It's like when you wear fucking hearing aids.

Like your hearing gets lost.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

Well, they say with vision, like the problem is we're looking at things that are real close up all the time. And your eyes are supposed to do a bunch of different things. They're supposed to look at stuff in the distance, supposed to look at things up close.

And if you don't look at things in the distance all the time, you lose that ability.

Joey Diaz (2:24)

Well, I'm going to be as honest as I can with you. I'm not trying to be cute here.

I lost my eyesight when I stopped doing coke, because when I was doing coke, my eyesight was on point, John. I could see a light from fucking two miles away. That light's green, we got to make it.

Once I stopped doing coke, my eyesight went right into the fucking shit. So when I was snorting, I had 20-20 vision. I could see coke rocks in the carpet and shit. Now I can't see shit if there's a coke rock. I'm on the fucking floor.

Joe Rogan (2:51)

I guess it's blood flow. If you think about a blood flow to the brain, doesn't coke give you a crazy amount of blood flow to your brain? I mean, it must. It's a stimulant, right?

Joey Diaz (2:59)

I have no idea. I have no idea where the blood goes.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Joey, thank God I never got into that.

Joey Diaz (3:03)

No.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

Thank God I never got into that.

Joey Diaz (3:05)

And especially now. Now I see these people that are snorting anything.

To snort anything today, you got to be fucking crazy. Heroin, these people who put the fucking test. If you go to a bar in New York, they have tests.

Joe Rogan (3:17)

Yeah.

Joey Diaz (3:18)

Then you go in the bathroom and they're like, are you fucking kidding me?

Joe Rogan (3:20)

You have to. You don't want to die.

Joey Diaz (3:22)

Once you test cocaine, it's time to do something different. You got to test your coke, it's time to do something different. You got to fucking.

Joe Rogan (3:29)

You know what's going on here? Ketamine. Everybody's doing ketamine. They do nasal sprays. We had some lady going to a K-hole in the middle of our comedy show.

She's fucking falling down like this. And they brought in the Narcan and shit. They were worried that she had overdosed.

And her wife was like, no, no, no. She's just been doing ketamine. She just did too much.

Joey Diaz (3:51)

So I did a couple of lines of that one time at the podcast studio. And it was okay. I did the podcast. But whoever gave me the ketamine left like a pile of it on the desk, you know, after we did a couple of lines. So he left and me and Lee were talking. And I go, Lee, what are we going to do with this fucking thing? He goes, I don't know. Throw it away. I go, fuck that. It was about 8, 30, 9 o'clock at night.
