Shrain by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
Jamie (0:12)
A lot of people have lights on their tables, now a light up their face to make them look more pretty.
SPEAKER_5 (0:16)
Really?
SPEAKER_6 (0:17)
Yeah, they have like a slight, like a opening in the table, and then a light that gets on you so you don't see like the shadows in your face, so you don't look shitty.
SPEAKER_5 (0:27)
I feel like, isn't that what you do with like a scary story, you put a flashlight under your chin?
SPEAKER_6 (0:31)
Yeah, but they're not trying to do that, they're trying to like balance it out so you look flat.
SPEAKER_5 (0:35)
That's crazy, man.
SPEAKER_6 (0:37)
You look like what you look like.
SPEAKER_5 (0:38)
Yeah, you got to give up after a while.
SPEAKER_6 (0:40)
The weirdest shit is men who use filters when they take pictures.
SPEAKER_5 (0:44)
That's insane.
SPEAKER_6 (0:45)
There's comedian men that use filters. Yes, it's very odd.
SPEAKER_5 (0:49)
How do you know?
SPEAKER_6 (0:50)
How do you know what they really look like? And then you see them and they look like a cartoon. Netflix does that with the pictures that they use when they promote your special. The picture of you, they'll put that bitch through a filter.
SPEAKER_5 (1:04)
That makes sense.
SPEAKER_6 (1:05)
And you look so pretty.
Jamie (1:06)
Yeah.
SPEAKER_5 (1:08)
If people see you after the show, you're like, you look horrible. I didn't know you looked so bad.
SPEAKER_6 (1:11)
You look so old.
SPEAKER_5 (1:13)
Thanks, man.
SPEAKER_6 (1:13)
I am so old. I'm almost 60 Dang. I know. It's crazy. I'm 58
SPEAKER_5 (1:20)
I'm 40 I just turned 40
SPEAKER_6 (1:22)
Those are real numbers.
SPEAKER_5 (1:23)
Yeah, I know. As soon as I had kids, I age immediately. You would have thought I literally gave birth.
SPEAKER_6 (1:29)
Yeah. Well, it's the lack of sleep.
SPEAKER_5 (1:31)
Yeah. That's what got me.
SPEAKER_6 (1:33)
Yeah. You know what's really good for that? Creatine.
SPEAKER_5 (1:35)
I've been taking it.
SPEAKER_6 (1:36)
Yeah. Creatine, they say 20 grams a day. Start with five and work your way up to 20 and check to see how your butthole holds up because the seal might be loose.
SPEAKER_5 (1:46)
I've ran this experiment. 20 gets my guts going, man.
SPEAKER_6 (1:50)
Bro, it does. It does. I don't do 20 in a dose. I do 10 in the morning and 10 at night because I was doing 20 in a dose and it was just like everybody out of the pool.
SPEAKER_5 (2:01)
I'm also not convinced diarrhea is bad for you. I swear to God, like not shitting for sure. But diarrhea is just like it's a speed this up.
SPEAKER_6 (2:08)
Well, isn't that what is that consumption? What is the disease where you can't stop having diarrhea?
SPEAKER_5 (2:14)
Dysentery.
SPEAKER_6 (2:14)
Dysentery. That's it.
SPEAKER_5 (2:15)
Yeah. Shit. Well, if you can't stop having it, sure.
SPEAKER_6 (2:19)
But that's like you can't digest food. It just goes right through you and just shit constantly.
SPEAKER_5 (2:23)
Yeah, you shit starve.
SPEAKER_6 (2:24)
Yeah.
SPEAKER_5 (2:25)
That sucks, actually.
SPEAKER_6 (2:26)
Yeah, that sucks. Not good.
SPEAKER_5 (2:28)
Once a week, though. That's fine.
SPEAKER_6 (2:29)
You know what I used to do? I used to drink kale smoothies in the morning. That was the first thing that I would do. I would throw kale and garlic and like apples and shit in a blender. And that's what I would drink first thing in the morning.
SPEAKER_5 (2:40)
Yeah.
SPEAKER_6 (2:41)
And boy, that is just like that clears the pathway. That's like like, you know, when you clear your rain gutters of leaves, you get a hose on that bitch and he's fucking blow them off the top. That's what it's like.
SPEAKER_5 (2:55)
Yeah, I've done the green drink before. It does get you. I was vegan for like a month and that was like the biggest dumps. But I actually got hemorrhoids from being vegan.
SPEAKER_6 (3:03)
Oh, because on the toilet.
SPEAKER_5 (3:04)
Because it was just that the turds were so big. I was getting like blown out. I got hemorrhoids from being vegan.
SPEAKER_6 (3:10)
Was it taking too long to poop or was it just like, it was just spectacular?
SPEAKER_5 (3:14)
Massive. It was spectacular. There were massive bowl winders. It was like twice a day.
I was like an adult entertainer. I was like my body just gave out.
SPEAKER_6 (3:25)
An adult entertainer. Well, when you think about it, it's all that fiber that your body doesn't process. But they say that that's what's good for keeping you clean. You know, fiber pushes everything out.
