Speaker 1: Hey guys, Hey guys, how's it going?
Speaker 2: He asking me here that people are listening, all three
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: Whoever can make the awkward go away?
Speaker 2: Well, this is what episode fifty two. I'm a strange,
Speaker 2: same podcast. I am Mike, I am Austin, and we
Speaker 2: are just going to go free form, which we never do.
Speaker 1: No, never, We always plan everything out perfectly strategically.
Speaker 2: You know, I tried on this episode. I tried to
Speaker 2: go strategic and I actually did a little outline, and
Speaker 2: you know what, it just didn't feel right because it
Speaker 2: felt unnatural. Because what we're going to talk about is
Speaker 2: something that's kind of unnatural, which is what Austin, what
Speaker 2: you can talk about.
Speaker 1: I don't want to jump into it too fast, but
Speaker 1: I'm amazed at the way that ancient civilizations have been
Speaker 1: able to choreograph and engineer these blocks to fit together
Speaker 1: in a way that makes such a perfect pyramid.
Speaker 2: Pyramids, ziggorots, mounds. Yeah, these things are found all over
Speaker 2: the world, and some of them are famous, like the
Speaker 2: Pyramids of Giza, and it's just weird.
Speaker 1: How a lot of them fit. I hope I'm not
Speaker 1: jumping in too far.
Speaker 2: Jump you jump, jump, you jump.
Speaker 1: But a lot of them, Like just the way that
Speaker 1: all the little gaps fit together. It's almost strategic in
Speaker 1: the way that things, you know, like this block was
Speaker 1: cut this way and it just slides perfect and there's
Speaker 1: like such perfect there's no gaps. No, it's so perfect.
Speaker 2: It's amazing.
Speaker 1: I don't know how how people were able to come
Speaker 1: up with that without some kind of external influence or
Speaker 1: like like aliens, or even just like internal motivation or.
Speaker 2: What about fallen God's Elohim. We talked about the nephilizers
Speaker 2: limits hashtag creatures.
Speaker 1: Hey what.
Speaker 2: But anyway, Yeah, so yeah, there are pyramids, right, there's
Speaker 2: zigg rots and most of the time pyramids are reflective
Speaker 2: of something that happens in the life of humans, which
Speaker 2: is no death. It could be death more day like
Speaker 2: South America, you know, I mean people were sacrificed on
Speaker 2: the cigarettes. Their heads were chopped off, they'd roll down.
Speaker 2: If anybody saw what was that movie with mel Gibson.
Speaker 1: The Patriot Now where he was like it was like
Speaker 1: I can't take.
Speaker 2: On a lot, no, no, no, no. Brave Heart was
Speaker 2: like Ireland. This is like South America, America Apocalypto. Apocalypto
Speaker 2: was this movie about this this uh like Mayanner, Aztec
Speaker 2: kid guy whatever that escapes and and basically they hunt
Speaker 2: him and he runs and they're trying to hunt him down.
Speaker 2: What's weird about it is like pyramids are always kind
Speaker 2: of affiliated with death right, So in South America you
Speaker 2: had that kind of stuff where they were like sacrificing stuff,
Speaker 2: and like even in some of the tunnels underneath those
Speaker 2: ziggurats and South America passageways with just thousands and thousands
Speaker 2: of skulls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll say, you hear that a lot with like
Speaker 1: uh like burial mounds or triangular times, and the pyramids
Speaker 1: are always tombs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: And you think of a geometrically sound shape is a tetrahedron,
Speaker 1: a triangle.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you take a tower that is maybe meant to
Speaker 1: be grown up to be godlike, like the Tower of
Speaker 1: Oh Tower.
Speaker 2: Of Babbel, and you just the ultimate.
Speaker 1: You can just climb this thing up. You take this
Speaker 1: triangle and you just build it as far up as
Speaker 1: you can until you reach self destruction.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So basically, no, I know what you're doing, but
Speaker 2: all I'm trying to do is like lay the analogy
Speaker 2: or metaphor that pyramids always kind of lots of rocks
Speaker 2: on the bed stones, that pyramids are often associated with death.
Speaker 2: And this pyramid that we're going to talk about is
Speaker 2: not an ancient pyramid. It was actually created maybe fifty
Speaker 2: sixty years ago. But it could be responsible or at
Speaker 2: least a contributor to the deaths or the ill health
Speaker 2: of millions of people across the face of the planet.
Speaker 2: What I know, I know, it's a crazy thing. You
Speaker 2: might be asking, what the dullar bill? Yeah, I'm feeling
Speaker 2: like we're doing a little bit of a bait and
Speaker 2: switch here.
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: But in a way, it's not because they are synonymous,
Speaker 2: because we're not going to talk about pyramids like rocks
Speaker 2: and stones cut precisely to stack up in some kind
Speaker 2: of homage to a person, or quarts or this is
Speaker 2: very near and dear to my heart, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was very good, right, because I think this pyramid
Speaker 2: has impacted hundreds, thousands, possibly millions of people across the world. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think. And you know, the honest truth is, we
Speaker 2: don't know how many it's impacted because I'm in dead.
Speaker 2: It's not tallied yet, right, So if you don't know
Speaker 2: what we're talking about. I am talking about something deadly,
Speaker 2: and that is the food pyramid. Bu right, I know,
Speaker 2: I know it's kind of it's kind of anti climactic
Speaker 2: because oh yeah, we're talking about a food pyramid, but
Speaker 2: it's bad news. What were we gonna say?
Speaker 1: We didn't do our strangers and to do it right here?
Speaker 1: Welcome to the strangers. All right, we're good. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: keep continuing.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I gotta be careful here because I want
Speaker 2: to keep this kind of light. I don't want it
Speaker 2: to get too deep, and I don't want to be
Speaker 2: too angry. But I have a lot of emotion about
Speaker 2: this because I have a personal experience with this close
Speaker 2: heart yeah, close to the heart, you know, And we
Speaker 2: kind of joke about that. But for our listeners, they
Speaker 2: probably have heard little snippets of how you know, I
Speaker 2: had some stens placed to my heart and I found
Speaker 2: out I had Type two diabetes and all of these things.
Speaker 2: And I never really had a really unhealthy lifestyle compared
Speaker 2: to a lot of people. I know. I was always
Speaker 2: fairly physically active. I ate decently well according to the
Speaker 2: diet that you're supposed to have. I never was like
Speaker 2: totally you know, like morbidly obese or or out of shape.
Speaker 2: I just, you know, I just like the average guy.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that underneath that was that I had
Speaker 2: type two diabetes. I didn't know I had very high
Speaker 2: blood sugar levels and I don't know how long I
Speaker 2: had those, and that did some severe damage to my
Speaker 2: arteries in my heart, and so I had plaque built
Speaker 2: up and stuff in there that I had no clue.
Speaker 2: And I think for a lot of people, they just
Speaker 2: all of a sudden dropped dead. They have a heart attack,
Speaker 2: you know, at a young age, and they just dropped dead,
Speaker 2: have massive coronary and it's over, so it's never recorded.
Speaker 2: But for me, I'll tell a little bit of the
Speaker 2: story is that during COVID, I got the first COVID shot,
Speaker 2: and because of the COVID shot, it put my heart
Speaker 2: into a weird, you know, rhythm, and I kept having
Speaker 2: these heart palpitations.
Speaker 1: And you were doing some sprinkler work in your backyard, yeah,
Speaker 1: same time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I went out and I was trying to diggle
Speaker 2: a line and my arms quit working.
Speaker 1: You were crawling around a lot.
Speaker 2: Too, Yeah, Yeah, it was I mean, you know, I'd
Speaker 2: been sitting a lot and all of a suddenly I
Speaker 2: went out and started digging a trench and then my
Speaker 2: arms quit working, and I thought, man, I'm really out
Speaker 2: of shape. But that probably was a heart attack, so dead,
Speaker 2: you know, a little baby, little winer beay sprinkler.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But anyway, because of that, I went in and
Speaker 2: got checked and I was losing weight. I wasn't you know.
Speaker 2: I just didn't feel right. Something was weird. So my
Speaker 2: first step was I bought one of those online blood
Speaker 2: sugar glucose tests and self tested and it came back
Speaker 2: really high, and I'm like, what, this can't be right.
Speaker 2: So I tried it again and it was too high.
Speaker 2: It was like a blood sugar level of like two
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty.
Speaker 1: And what's normal. What's considered normal one.
Speaker 2: Hundred under one hundred, So you were sixty six.
Speaker 1: You were one hundred and sixty over normal.
Speaker 2: Yes, So something was off there. I thought, Oh, that's
Speaker 2: messed up. So I thought, oh, I'll test my wife.
Speaker 2: Obviously this meter is messed up.
Speaker 1: It's the way you diagnosed, whether or not it's the
Speaker 1: system or the system that's being well.
Speaker 2: I tested her and she's like one two, and I thought,
Speaker 2: you know what, I better go get something figured out.
Speaker 2: So I called my cologist, right, I called my doctor
Speaker 2: and they said, well, we can't get you in for
Speaker 2: three months. And I'm like, well, what am I supposed
Speaker 2: to do?
Speaker 1: And he said, get some courts and some sage. Burn
Speaker 1: the sage in your house and over your naked body,
Speaker 1: the courts on your nipples every evening at seven thirty seven?
Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do? You know this is bad,
Speaker 2: isn't it. I don't know. Is it going to kill me?
Speaker 2: I don't know what. My bloodger is way high?
Speaker 1: Is that scary thing?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? And eventually he said, you know what, I
Speaker 2: think I've got it opening just come in, come down
Speaker 2: in like a half hour. So I went down there
Speaker 2: and they tested me and he goes, you know what,
Speaker 2: you've got diabetes. I'm like, what, shut up, I don't
Speaker 2: have diabetes.
Speaker 1: You have diabetes, doc.
Speaker 2: And so they're like, oh, yeah, so we're gonna put
Speaker 2: on meds. We're gonna put on med foreman, wait, the
Speaker 2: doctor wanted to put you on med? Yes, that was
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Doctor, I've never heard of doctors putting people on prescription. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so out of the box. It was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: here's what we do. He goes, We're going to put
Speaker 2: you on this American Diabetes Association diet that's supposed to
Speaker 2: help you with your blood suger and we're going to
Speaker 2: give you met Foreman and we're gonna, you know, treat
Speaker 2: you with this until finally you're going to get bad
Speaker 2: enough that you're going to have to start taking insulin
Speaker 2: and and then we'll just kind of see where it
Speaker 2: goes from there. So I'm like, oh, gross, So I'm
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to start taking medicine.
Speaker 1: I have to take George Foreman.
Speaker 2: So I start taking met Foreman and uh, and I
Speaker 2: start doing some research online and I'm very thankful that
Speaker 2: I did about okay, low carb diets. But at the
Speaker 2: same time, they sent me to this uh diabetic training
Speaker 2: thing where basically that's, yeah, you go and they tell
Speaker 2: you about all of these things you should and not eat,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: That you should do if you have diabetes.
Speaker 2: No, but I mean they had this thing in there,
Speaker 2: this food pyramid that you would use. And even though
Speaker 2: I was diabetic, the base bottom portion of this was cancer. No,
Speaker 2: it was grains in the whole wheat in rice in
Speaker 2: you know, beans, different beans, and I'm like, well, okay,
Speaker 2: so I can do that right, you know, I mean
Speaker 2: most of the stuff there, but my blood shirger really
Speaker 2: wasn't good. So I was taking met Foreman, which was
Speaker 2: making me sick of my stuffach. I basically had diarrhea
Speaker 2: all the time. And I got how I could kind
Speaker 2: of tolerate it, you know, not solid, it's ready nice,
Speaker 2: but the only way it was all the stuff I
Speaker 2: was like, it was very confused. And then I kept
Speaker 2: feeling awf well. Then I got my COVID test. Then
Speaker 2: I started having a hard palpitation, like what is going on?
Speaker 2: And I just felt horrible. And for a long time
Speaker 2: I would just sit around and take my pulse and
Speaker 2: I could count, like every six beats it would skip.
Speaker 1: You feel like that I have that I go to bed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if I like drink a little more normal or something,
Speaker 1: I can feel when I go to bed, it's like
Speaker 1: a I feel like it held my breath, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I'm not holding my breath and it's just like then
Speaker 1: a hard beat yeah yeah, and my whole head pops
Speaker 1: off my pillow. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's basically what was going on. I was
Speaker 2: having that and it happened. It started like the day
Speaker 2: after I got my first COVID shot, and then after
Speaker 2: about three days, because you're supposed to take the second
Speaker 2: shot COVID shot after like ten days, I think I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to go back in. And it went away after
Speaker 2: like three days, and then I went in got my
Speaker 2: second shot, and that palpitation came back again. But it
Speaker 2: never went away.
Speaker 1: But that's how you know something works is when you
Speaker 1: have to do it a couple times before it starts
Speaker 1: to give you heart palpitation.
Speaker 2: And it's not a commentary on the COVID vaccine. I mean,
Speaker 2: people have their own mindset on that.
Speaker 1: I will fight that too.
Speaker 2: But anyway, for me, it caused my heart to act weird,
Speaker 2: which forced me into eventually because I would just sit
Speaker 2: around in a comatose state. I was losing weight, I
Speaker 2: wasn't feeling right, and you know, I was taking all
Speaker 2: this diabetic met form in medication and try to change
Speaker 2: my diet and I didn't know what was going on,
Speaker 2: and so eventually I called my doctor again. I said, man,
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling good. My heart has been having weird arrhythmias.
Speaker 2: I just read this thing online about that COVID vaccinations
Speaker 2: can cause these weird arrhythmias and that could be a problem.
Speaker 2: What should I do? And he said, well, why don't
Speaker 2: you come down, We'll hook you up and do an EKG.
Speaker 2: So I went down there.
Speaker 1: The electro cardiogram.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So I went down there.
Speaker 1: That's where they monitor your heart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they hook up all these leads. Yeah, right, and
Speaker 2: they hooked them all up and he's like, yeah, you
Speaker 2: know this kind of routine. Wasn't expecting much. And he
Speaker 2: comes back in later and he sits down after they've
Speaker 2: ran it, and they ran it twice. I thought that
Speaker 2: was weird. They ran it once and then they did
Speaker 2: it again, and he comes in. He says, have you
Speaker 2: had a heart attack? I said, I don't think so, since.
Speaker 1: I saw your mom.
Speaker 2: Then that's when I had to say, well, that one
Speaker 2: time I went out there and was digging a trench
Speaker 2: and I couldn't lift my arms up for a while.
Speaker 2: I kind of told her yeah, and he goes, he goes, yeah,
Speaker 2: you've got like a weird spike. And I don't even
Speaker 2: know what those leads and markers do, but something was
Speaker 2: indicating that I had some kind of damage in my heart.
Speaker 2: I was like, that's weird. So that started this process
Speaker 2: and it took almost five months for me to get in.
Speaker 2: They did ultrasound, they did all kinds of stuff, and
Speaker 2: then finally they sent me in. They said, oh, you
Speaker 2: know what, We're gonna go in and we're gonna have
Speaker 2: you do an angiogram. And if they're in there and
Speaker 2: there are some you know, kind of you know, calcifications
Speaker 2: or plaque build ups, then they might put in stints
Speaker 2: that turned into angioplasty. So there you go. I go
Speaker 2: in for this procedure thinking it's probably nothing, no big deal,
Speaker 2: and while I'm in there, they discover I have almost
Speaker 2: complete blockage in the widow maker they know, in my artery,
Speaker 2: in my heart artery. And then they end up putting
Speaker 2: in four stints because I had some very severe blockage.
Speaker 2: And excuse me.
Speaker 1: My god, he's playing up the sick. I'm coming to
Speaker 1: join him.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so, and I was kind of out of it.
Speaker 2: I remember watching the procedure on the screen because they
Speaker 2: said that if you drink alcohol, you might not be
Speaker 2: totally out while you're they're doing the.
Speaker 1: Procedure and you didn't drink.
Speaker 2: I was thinking, it's like, you know, I had alcohol occasionally,
Speaker 2: like every time we recorded. So so I watched them
Speaker 2: do the whole procedure when they put the stand on
Speaker 2: the screen right above my head. Yeah, I remember it
Speaker 2: very distinctly, and you know, they would put these puffs
Speaker 2: of die in and I could see it on the
Speaker 2: screen and was like it didn't go anywhere. And then
Speaker 2: they put the stints in and then they do the
Speaker 2: puff and die and all of a sudden, it was like,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, there's these like magic pathways through
Speaker 2: the things, like where did those come from? So anyway,
Speaker 2: I ended up getting four stints and saved my life.
Speaker 2: So I can honestly say that the COVID vaccine, no
Speaker 2: matter how you feel about it, saved my life because
Speaker 2: if I wouldn't have got it, I probably wouldn't have
Speaker 2: known until I had a massive coronary and just like
Speaker 2: drop dead on the ground. So that brought me back
Speaker 2: to not only do I have Type two diabetes, but
Speaker 2: now I have coronary artery disease.
Speaker 1: And a COVID vaccine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what do you do? You know, what do
Speaker 2: you do? With this, And then there was this very
Speaker 2: particular dilemma. I was in, you have diabetes, you need
Speaker 2: to be on this kind of diet, and the other is, oh,
Speaker 2: you have a heart disease, you need to be on
Speaker 2: this kind of diet. Okay, so this is where you
Speaker 2: put in the disclaimer. Go ahead and put in the disclaimer.
Speaker 1: We would like to remind you nobody on the A
Speaker 1: Strange Thing podcast network is a medical professional, and nothing
Speaker 1: we say is necessarily medically professional. All evidence from now
Speaker 1: on is anecdotal and is not submissible in court. So
Speaker 1: if you feel like we're wrong, leave a comment like
Speaker 1: us and subscribe and take your problems to your therapist
Speaker 1: and suck sucking.
Speaker 2: I should probably do that all again.
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny, it was actually good.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll leave it. But what I was gonna say
Speaker 2: is fat. So the dilemma was for me, was I
Speaker 2: follow the American Heart Association diet, which means don't eat
Speaker 2: meat because that's bad. It built up fat in your
Speaker 2: heart and it causes plaque, or I follow the American
Speaker 2: Diabetes Association recommendations, and they were diametrically opposed. If I
Speaker 2: followed the American Heart Association diet. Then I was going
Speaker 2: to have high blood sugar. If I was going to
Speaker 2: follow the American Diabetes Association diet, I was going to
Speaker 2: have high fat, which causes.
Speaker 1: High blood pressure, chsterol.
Speaker 2: Cholesterol, high cholesterol, which causes well, according to the American
Speaker 2: Heart Association, high fats cause plaque build up, high cholesterol,
Speaker 2: cholesterol builds up in your arteries, causes.
Speaker 1: Creates a venturi effect, which increases blood pressure. Right well,
Speaker 1: it causes your thumb over the garden hose.
Speaker 2: It's not even about blood pressure that plays a part.
Speaker 2: But what it does is it plugs up your arteries.
Speaker 2: You build up plaque. Eventually that plaque kind of rips
Speaker 2: and that causes a clot and that clot blocks off
Speaker 2: all you know, blood going to your heart, and it
Speaker 2: kills your heart and you.
Speaker 1: Drop dead or your brain. I could go in your brain,
Speaker 1: I mean, and it could cause a single sissy feet slapjack,
Speaker 1: go go.
Speaker 2: Boots something like that. Where did that come from anyway?
Speaker 2: But it's bad. So yeah, I was in this like
Speaker 2: this weird precarious place like don't eat fatty foods, eat
Speaker 2: non fatty foods. And on the diabetes side, they were
Speaker 2: saying eat less carbs because that raises blood sugar. So
Speaker 2: it was like I couldn't eat either.
Speaker 1: You can't eat you can only asparagus.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't even know vegetables. I become vegan.
Speaker 2: You know. It was very confusing for me. And then,
Speaker 2: you know, at the same time, I was getting drugs
Speaker 2: for everything. I had drugs for diabetes. I had drugs
Speaker 2: forbetes for my heart. You know, I had all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, I wasn't anything before, but all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I had a bunch of statins, beta blockers, aspirin, blood thinners,
Speaker 2: and then on the other side, I had drugs like
Speaker 2: met Foreman and ozimpek that's supposed to help keep your
Speaker 2: blood sugar down. And it was like I was like, man,
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do. So out of desperation
Speaker 2: because you can't talk to doctors during COVID because it
Speaker 2: takes months to get back in, you know, I just
Speaker 2: start looking around and I start going to YouTube, and
Speaker 2: I find a few doctors that are talking about the
Speaker 2: strange correlation with basically this food pyramid that came out
Speaker 2: in like the nineteen nineties here in the United States
Speaker 2: that had this baseline of carbohydrates as the base food
Speaker 2: that you should always eat that's good for you.
Speaker 1: Eat all the spaghetti, and it was.
Speaker 2: It was basically made of breads and pastas and rice
Speaker 2: and you know anything. It didn't matter. Flour based stuff,
Speaker 2: that's your base. And that's what I did when I
Speaker 2: was growing up. I mean I didn't eat a lot
Speaker 2: of sugars, you know, like snacks or things like that,
Speaker 2: you know, candy bars. I wasn't ever a candy bar eater.
Speaker 2: So I didn't understand how could I have diabetes? Nobody
Speaker 2: in my family had diabetes. What's going on?
Speaker 1: Well well, well, well, well well well well well well
Speaker 1: well well what didn't your mom have diabetes?
Speaker 2: Well, my mom had cancer. She fought it for twenty
Speaker 2: seven years, and she did have pre diabetes where you know,
Speaker 2: high glucose levels in her blood, but then she started
Speaker 2: herself and it went away, and and so she never
Speaker 2: took any medicare.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was something she was eating.
Speaker 2: Or not eating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well maybe the not eating helped her sure levels
Speaker 1: go down.
Speaker 2: Well, I do know that what she loved to eat
Speaker 2: was things like you know, bread or breaded things or
Speaker 2: biscuits and gravy and things like that, which all super
Speaker 2: low glucose, yeah, which you know, yeah, no glucose. Net
Speaker 2: actually was very high glucose. But she was starving anyway.
Speaker 1: So oh, we would have given Grandma anything, anything, just
Speaker 1: to give her to something, don't care. Yeah, yeah, And
Speaker 1: she she was a fighter. How old was she?
Speaker 2: Would? She die at seventy six, seventy five.
Speaker 1: And that was take two or three of cancer.
Speaker 2: Oh, she had me. She had cancer. She had a
Speaker 2: bow mire transplant, twenty five years in remission, came back,
Speaker 2: she lived with it, what another eight nine years?
Speaker 1: So all I'm saying is she'd whooped Vladimir Putin's ass.
Speaker 2: She was a toughie, she was, and she hung in there.
Speaker 2: And she did not know the word quit, so she Yeah,
Speaker 2: she was always resilient.
Speaker 1: I remember we were at a party and Grandma and
Speaker 1: I were the only ones in there serving food to everybody, yep,
Speaker 1: And you guys were all in the living room enjoying
Speaker 1: the birthday or whatever it was. And I said, what, Grandma,
Speaker 1: why are we the only one serving the farts? And
Speaker 1: she just flicked me in the mouth as hard as
Speaker 1: she could, my lips bleeding. I was like that's the
Speaker 1: f work. Yeah, don't say the work.
Speaker 2: If you said the real F word, it wouldn't be
Speaker 2: a flick of the finger, right.
Speaker 1: Job. She did not like the fart work, but it
Speaker 1: was funny. She was a feisty old lady.
Speaker 2: She was very feisty and Okay, so you could say
Speaker 2: maybe when my mom was in her seventies fighting cancer
Speaker 2: that maybe she had pre diabetes, but we didn't have
Speaker 2: like a history of diabetes in my family of family,
Speaker 2: I was the first one. And you know what, I
Speaker 2: didn't eat bad. I compare myself to my two sisters.
Speaker 2: I never ate as bad as they did. As far
Speaker 2: as like you know, eating andies and sweets and things
Speaker 2: like that. I just never was interested in it. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't. It just wasn't.
Speaker 1: You looked at maple nut goodies twice a year, and that's.
Speaker 2: About my birthday and Christmas?
Speaker 1: Okay, No, you and I used to go get raspberry
Speaker 1: filled donuts.
Speaker 2: I still miss the mud.
Speaker 1: Arizona tea. Yeah, but you were in telling like once
Speaker 1: a week. Yeah, I mean it could have have diabetes
Speaker 1: and just ignoremous.
Speaker 2: I might have did that once or twice a month
Speaker 2: or maybe it was.
Speaker 1: And it was. It was more memorable to me than
Speaker 1: it was probably diabetically bad for you.
Speaker 2: Right, well, I mean all of this so just to
Speaker 2: say I wasn't like somebody, you know, on the extreme
Speaker 2: eating carbs or eating sugar or candy. I was just
Speaker 2: a normal guy. And you know, honestly, I was eating
Speaker 2: the diet that I was told to eat when I
Speaker 2: was a kid, you know, growing up, and especially like
Speaker 2: in the eighties. I mean, there was this thing you
Speaker 2: couldn't eat eggs or butter.
Speaker 1: Right, what what stop?
Speaker 2: Don't eat that food? Who are you?
Speaker 1: What are you doing in our house? I'm from the future.
Speaker 1: I'm here to warn you. Don't eat that food.
Speaker 2: Why not the eggs?
Speaker 1: They're full of cholesterol? What cholesterol?
Speaker 2: It clogs up your arteries?
Speaker 1: You didn't even just one egg can dramatically increase your
Speaker 1: chance of heart attack. Don't eat eggs only. Thank you,
Speaker 1: You're welcome, godspeed.
Speaker 2: Well, I guess I better take those eggs.
Speaker 1: What stop? You're bad?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were wrong.
Speaker 1: About the eggs.
Speaker 2: Eggs and butter were bad. You had to eat eat
Speaker 2: margarine and.
Speaker 1: They're protein in like good corrupt cholesterol or bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know, you're kind of playing at this
Speaker 2: because that's still kind of the mindset. Do not eat
Speaker 2: saturated fat type stuff. Don't eat butter, don't eat red meat,
Speaker 2: don't eat bacon processed you know meats like you know,
Speaker 2: sausages and bacon nitrates. I mean, oh my gosh, don't
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: But we're sucked down that rice crispy treating them up
Speaker 1: dart for breakfast.
Speaker 2: We're getting ahead of ourselves. I'm yeah, we got to
Speaker 2: kind of like, you know, pace ourselves in this because
Speaker 2: there's a lot of passion behind it. Because I paid
Speaker 2: the cost and paying the cost of that kind of
Speaker 2: diet which was taught to me by the government that
Speaker 2: said this is what you're supposed to eat, this is
Speaker 2: what's good for you. This has the Healthy Heart stamp
Speaker 2: of approval on the box. It's good for you. And
Speaker 2: that was bullshit. Pardon my French. I don't say that
Speaker 2: word very often, but you know I say it for
Speaker 2: emphasis because this is a horrible thing and it's not
Speaker 2: just me that was impacted. There are thousands, hundreds of
Speaker 2: thousands of people that are impacted by this disinformation campaign
Speaker 2: that has been fed and has never been pulled back.
Speaker 2: Nobody has ever said we screwed up. This is not
Speaker 2: correct information. Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself, don't I
Speaker 2: getting fired around my being bulging in my forehead. It
Speaker 2: makes me so mad because I think you know. Okay,
Speaker 2: so it impacted me, big deal. I'm surviving. I've learned
Speaker 2: a lot through this process. But there are I mean, okay,
Speaker 2: i'd say thousands of people listening to this podcast, but
Speaker 2: we don't have that many listeners. But there are thousands
Speaker 2: millions of people out there that are ignorant of this
Speaker 2: disinformation that is hurting them, and they don't even know
Speaker 2: it because they are eating this this diet based on
Speaker 2: this food pyramid idea of grains and rice and carbs
Speaker 2: as the baseline of what they should eat. That should
Speaker 2: be the priority, the primary thing that they eat. And
Speaker 2: it's not right. It's not healthy, it's not good. Okay,
Speaker 2: we need to put that little disclaimer back in here,
Speaker 2: because I know some doctors would argue that because they've
Speaker 2: been taught this while they're in medical school. But I've
Speaker 2: done a lot of research and I have some practical
Speaker 2: application of my own experience to throw into this.
Speaker 1: Mix, some anecdotal.
Speaker 2: Because okay, before we get there, yeah, we should do
Speaker 2: say what you're gonna say, because if not, I'm going
Speaker 2: to blow a cork.
Speaker 1: Is running low.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of passion in this he is.
Speaker 1: I weigh a number and forty five pounds, and he
Speaker 1: weighs a number and zero pounds negative five ninety pounds. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I weigh about well, okay, And I weigh a number
Speaker 1: and forty five. I'm six foot I'm six foot one.
Speaker 1: But I don't think by one inch.
Speaker 2: Said he had an extra fifty five pounds on that
Speaker 2: one extra inch yep, exactly in height. Yeah okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: I don't think that makes a difference.
Speaker 2: No, we have a different bone structure. I mean everything
Speaker 2: is like everything is.
Speaker 1: It's all relative.
Speaker 2: It's relative.
Speaker 1: And I can say for my personal anecdotal evidence that
Speaker 1: I went to a doctor, a nutritionist, and she took
Speaker 1: a look at me and she was like, hey, are
Speaker 1: you like really sensitive to carbs? I was like, uh, yeah, probably,
Speaker 1: Like if I eat like cake at a birthday party,
Speaker 1: I've never you can attest, I've never been like a
Speaker 1: carb like a cake and sweets person.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: And when I went into this lady, a nutritionist, she
Speaker 1: was like, you look like you are really sensitive to carbs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was like, what makes you say that? And
Speaker 1: my neck apparently was like purple and red and puffy
Speaker 1: and my like love handles turn red and.
Speaker 2: Now the wonders of inflammation.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. And now that I do research, and honestly
Speaker 1: most of my research comes from like podcasts and YouTube
Speaker 1: Google searches, which can be biased, often are biased. But
Speaker 1: I don't see people out there being like, yeah, eat
Speaker 1: as much bright as you can. And that's kind of
Speaker 1: the diet I was told. And we had snap crackle
Speaker 1: and pop rice crispy for sure, as our serial characters,
Speaker 1: heart stars, horseshoes, clovers and blue moons, postic golden rabels
Speaker 1: and a red balloon.
Speaker 2: That was my.
Speaker 1: Childhood was marshmallows and grain lucky charms.
Speaker 2: The part of this good breakfast with eight magical marshmallows.
Speaker 3: And they can them, can you lucky charms?
Speaker 2: Magically delicious? And well that's what we thought was healthy.
Speaker 2: I mean on the box a lot of those things
Speaker 2: was the stand little heart it says, oh heart.
Speaker 1: Healthy heart association. Yeah, and Cheerios. The whole cheerios thing
Speaker 1: was like cheerios the dad would quit. The dad would
Speaker 1: come in and the cheerios commercial and be like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I had a hard day at work. And then the
Speaker 1: sudden be like, well, at least you got your cheerios
Speaker 1: to make your heart better, daddy, and he'd be like,
Speaker 1: you're right, so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But and then you have reality.
Speaker 1: Raised nuts eighty pounds over weegs, and he's dying of
Speaker 1: heart disease, and it's kind of messed up.
Speaker 2: They make little hearts happy and big hearts happy.
Speaker 4: Too, because as part of a heart healthy diet, those
Speaker 4: delicious oats and cherios can help naturally lower cholesterol.
Speaker 2: How can something so little help you do something so big?
Speaker 2: So it's like, you know you're raised in this way.
Speaker 2: You're thinking you're doing the right things or at least
Speaker 2: nothing bad. But it was like all these things that
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, I'm doing okay, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden I found out, No, I've got type
Speaker 2: two diabetes. I've got a A one C number of
Speaker 2: eleven point three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good score for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're trying to go for the high score,
Speaker 2: you know, a healthy A one C would be you
Speaker 2: know five. I had no idea, I mean, how do
Speaker 2: you know, clandestinely in the dark. My body is like
Speaker 2: being torn apart in the my arteries by blood sugar.
Speaker 2: And then my body because it's resilient, it was made
Speaker 2: with like redundancy by an awesome creator. Has this thing
Speaker 2: called plaque, and what it does is like spackle, right,
Speaker 2: you get a rip in the walls and it patches
Speaker 2: the hole. So it's doing what it's supposed to do.
Speaker 2: But the simple truth was for me at this time,
Speaker 2: and I'm hoping this were you know that we're leading
Speaker 2: somewhere that's going to help somebody who's listening, I hope.
Speaker 2: So is that the biggest reason that I had coronary
Speaker 2: artery disease was because I had a high blood sugar
Speaker 2: because I had too much glucose in my system. The
Speaker 2: cardiologist said, basically, think of it like you have ground
Speaker 2: up glass pumping around your heart, and anywhere where there
Speaker 2: was like a curve or a bend or something like that,
Speaker 2: that's where it's going to be abrasive.
Speaker 1: Like a river, all the banks are really long in
Speaker 1: the turns because they're just getting plowed into.
Speaker 2: Plowed loose dirt section and so you know, what do
Speaker 2: you do in that kind of situation. To remedy that,
Speaker 2: you get the bulldozer and you plow in a bunch
Speaker 2: of new stuff, new sediment. Right, that's what your body does.
Speaker 2: And it's called plaque, it's spackle. And so that's what
Speaker 2: my body was doing. It was pulling in the stuff
Speaker 2: to stop the damage that was happening in my arteries
Speaker 2: called black paint, you know, on the the patches. The
Speaker 2: spackle is made of cholesterol and calcium.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let me stop you there, right, How can
Speaker 1: you tell me how many carbs are in your body?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: No, because you're not made out of bread. No are
Speaker 1: you made out of any meat.
Speaker 2: I am a giant meat man. That's what she said.
Speaker 1: You've heard the saying, like you are what you eat, right,
Speaker 1: how much of you is bread? How much of you
Speaker 1: is grain? How much of you is freaking rice? Milk
Speaker 1: and rice and all this garbage, And we pretend it
Speaker 1: makes you healthy. But you are fat, and you are protein,
Speaker 1: and you are calcium, and you are sodium and water.
Speaker 1: These things in history, as far as I've known in
Speaker 1: my life, they've just told us that's the bad stuff.
Speaker 1: If you want to be healthy, don't eat muscle. It
Speaker 1: just seems so silly.
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. Yeah, that's a weird kind
Speaker 2: of a dichotomy, isn't It's so dumb, you know it is.
Speaker 2: It is a really weird thing. But see, if you're
Speaker 2: raised knowing something is true when it's not, and nobody
Speaker 2: tells you that it's not, and everything you hear and
Speaker 2: the people you trust, and I'm talking about government entities,
Speaker 2: I'm talking about doctors that have gone through teen years
Speaker 2: of medical school and they're telling you this is the
Speaker 2: right thing, this is all the truth, and so you
Speaker 2: believe it because I mean, it's the best information that
Speaker 2: you have. And then all of a sudden you find out,
Speaker 2: you know what, this is screwed up. I mean it's
Speaker 2: hard to it's hard to you don't know where to go. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And one thing cool about now, because of the Internet
Speaker 2: and stuff, there are a lot of people that put
Speaker 2: their voices out there, and a lot of them are
Speaker 2: highly educated. A lot of them are doctors or scientists,
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of really good information. And what
Speaker 2: we're starting to find out is the way that we've
Speaker 2: been eating has been totally wrong. That pyramid and there
Speaker 2: have been tons of scientific studies that prove that it's
Speaker 2: wrong right now. You know, in this episode we're just
Speaker 2: into like you know, we're just like running free for
Speaker 2: inventing and setting up and we're going to talk about
Speaker 2: some of those studies. We're going to talk about the
Speaker 2: science a little bit and with a disclaimer that you know,
Speaker 2: we are not medical professionals, So don't go out and
Speaker 2: change your what your doctor says because of what we say.
Speaker 1: I mean, don't do it.
Speaker 2: But check into it, open up a conversation with your doctor,
Speaker 2: because I mean, this is your life. This was my life.
Speaker 2: I'm lucky to be alive right now. If it wouldn't
Speaker 2: have been for my COVID vaccine that gave me heart palpitations,
Speaker 2: I would never have probably gone in and got checked
Speaker 2: until until I dropped dead on the ground, and it
Speaker 2: would have been.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he had no at that time.
Speaker 2: My cardial infarction.
Speaker 1: At that time it would have been.
Speaker 2: Probably yeah, I would blame the COVID and got the
Speaker 2: money for it. But it's such a wrong thing now
Speaker 2: because we know better. The science is better now and
Speaker 2: you can get off diabetic medication by a change in
Speaker 2: your lifestyle.
Speaker 1: Prove it.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm off my diabetic medication.
Speaker 1: Shit, he just did.
Speaker 2: I did. So you know my my A one C,
Speaker 2: which was eleven point three is now five point seven.
Speaker 2: If you have diabetes and you can keep your A
Speaker 2: one C numbers under seven, that is good. But I
Speaker 2: tell you what, I am not following the American Diabetic
Speaker 2: Association diet.
Speaker 1: And we're not saying necessarily to go and just be
Speaker 1: like you're.
Speaker 2: A no no, no, no no.
Speaker 1: Don't pull Arno source and anger and be like if
Speaker 1: it bleeds, we can kill it.
Speaker 2: No, we'll just not take look at it. You got
Speaker 2: to look at it and ask yourself questions and do
Speaker 2: research because there's a lot of good information out there,
Speaker 2: and I can point our listeners, especially in the next episode,
Speaker 2: I'll put some of this stuff up. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of really good information. There's a lot of good scientific
Speaker 2: studies that prove that a low carb diet that a
Speaker 2: keto diet. Getting those breads, getting those grains, getting those
Speaker 2: corn gmo modified corn things out of your diet, getting
Speaker 2: rid of seed based oils, and eating things like bacon,
Speaker 2: processed meat, bacon, red meat fat.
Speaker 1: Always substitute the bacon for an extra side of biscuits
Speaker 1: in gravy. It's gravy.
Speaker 2: Because I'm eating the way I'm eating, I feel guilty.
Speaker 2: But I'm off my diabetes medications, medications, my triglycerides, my
Speaker 2: cholesterol levels every has dropped down to the perfect thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're not even bad, they're not even high.
Speaker 2: They're like awesome. And I was afraid to tell my
Speaker 2: doctor about it because I was afraid that he'd chew
Speaker 2: me out. Well, it's because you know, you're doing all
Speaker 2: this stuff, your blood pressures down because of your beta blocker. No,
Speaker 2: I'm not taking my beta blocker.
Speaker 1: And we're not saying to not take the medicine that
Speaker 1: your doctor isscribing. But tried to do some research on
Speaker 1: what maybe your health could be if you ate like
Speaker 1: a person who was designed as a human being, not
Speaker 1: a deer or a goat, eat human food and not
Speaker 1: just bread all the time.
Speaker 2: So yeah, let me back up a little bit. So
Speaker 2: I didn't just like, oh yeah, one day, I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna stop taking my beta blocker and take my you know,
Speaker 2: IM not gonna take my stat anymore. I didn't do that.
Speaker 2: I took them, and my blood cholesterol levels were going down.
Speaker 2: They were getting better. But then I thought, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm having side effects from the stat One of the
Speaker 2: side effects of statins is it can raise your blood sugar,
Speaker 2: which is the bad thing for my heart.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a volley is Yeah.
Speaker 2: One of the bad things for beta blockers can raise
Speaker 2: my glucose levels, which is a bad thing for my heart.
Speaker 2: So what do I do? My blood pressure wasn't high,
Speaker 2: So why am I taking a beta blocker? And that
Speaker 2: my doctor said. My cardiologist said, I wouldn't be a
Speaker 2: good cardiologist unless I gave you a beta blocker. You
Speaker 2: don't really need it. There's nothing to indicate that you
Speaker 2: need a beta blocker because your blood pressures. If anything,
Speaker 2: it might be a.
Speaker 1: Little low commission.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 2: It's what they're taught, you know. I don't blame them.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're bad. I don't think anybody's trying
Speaker 2: to do anything. But I think they're entrenched in what
Speaker 2: they're taught. And so I was like, why am I
Speaker 2: taking a beta blocker? It was so discouraging. It's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: everything looks great, but I should really give you another
Speaker 2: drug because that's what I'm supposed to do. And I
Speaker 2: really wouldn't be a good cardiologist to prescribe this. In
Speaker 2: my mind, I'm like, you're a good cardiologist if you say, man,
Speaker 2: you're doing good, let's get you off the drugs you
Speaker 2: don't need. Right has an impacted my you know, my
Speaker 2: blood pressure at all. So I backed off the statin.
Speaker 2: Okay statins bring my supposedly adjust those right glytrides down.
Speaker 2: They're lower now than they were while I was taking them.
Speaker 2: And I haven't changed anything other than I've been eating
Speaker 2: more bad things. According to the American Heart Association, I've.
Speaker 1: Been eating by bad things, you mean.
Speaker 2: The bad things that they say, which are red meat
Speaker 2: and saturated fats and bacon and processed meats. That is
Speaker 2: ninety percent of my diet. That is the baseline of
Speaker 2: my pyramid, and then veggies and freed are on top
Speaker 2: of it. Load carbs took turned it upside.
Speaker 1: Down, took it upside down. So instead of just the
Speaker 1: baseline being eat as much spaghetti as possible, as much
Speaker 1: noodles and grain and bread as possible, kind of like,
Speaker 1: let's eat as much meat as possible and as much
Speaker 1: fat as comes with the meat is coming from natural stuff.
Speaker 1: It's not coming from a.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, right, well, it's at the same you know,
Speaker 4: I feel I feel like I'm I feel guilty talking
Speaker 4: about this because okay, here's my routine.
Speaker 2: I get up in the morning, I go and I
Speaker 2: brew a craft of coffee, a graf akraf kraff, but anyway,
Speaker 2: you just want so I put my coffee in. Then
Speaker 2: I go over to my my big tub of coconut
Speaker 2: oil to brag, and I grab I probably take at
Speaker 2: least a tablespoon of coconut oil, put it in a blender.
Speaker 2: I get a tablespoon of butter, salted butter. I put
Speaker 2: it in the blender, and I put in a squirt
Speaker 2: of MPCT oil, which is also coconut based, and I
Speaker 2: put in my coffee. It's probably I don't know, maybe
Speaker 2: fourteen ounce.
Speaker 1: In n cows and calories, and I put it in
Speaker 1: the blinter.
Speaker 2: I blend it up and I drink it and I
Speaker 2: love it. And it's I mean, they call it bulletproof coffee,
Speaker 2: except for I've added coconut oil, right, yeah, And so
Speaker 2: I've been doing that for a long time. And then
Speaker 2: you know, I eat steak on demand. I eat. I
Speaker 2: eat a lot of fish, I eat pork, I eat bacon,
Speaker 2: I eat all the things that they say don't do.
Speaker 2: I don't eat bread, I don't eat pasta. I might have,
Speaker 2: you know, like a spaghetti squash. Yeah, but it's if
Speaker 2: a cardiologist or the American Heart Association diet or dietitian
Speaker 2: that follows that principle, they would say this is the
Speaker 2: worst die you could eat.
Speaker 1: But it's anecdotally wrong.
Speaker 2: And the markers, yeah, the markers that they measure to
Speaker 2: see if it's bad are these lipid tests and everything.
Speaker 2: And every month I do this diet, it gets better
Speaker 2: and better, and my blood sugar gets better and better,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what the heck? Everything I'm doing seems
Speaker 2: to be the right thing to do in the wrong way.
Speaker 2: And so that's kind of the impetus for this strange pyramid,
Speaker 2: because the pyramid that we've been fed, in my perspective,
Speaker 2: is totally wrong.
Speaker 1: It's funny too, because, like, I hang out with my
Speaker 1: dad a lot. I've known him my whole life, you
Speaker 1: believe it or not, almost thirty years now. But he's,
Speaker 1: if anything, he's lost weight, he's healthier, he's been probably
Speaker 1: working out less, which I've been hounding on him.
Speaker 2: I've been doing I walk every day.
Speaker 1: Lift, but I've been hounding on him about lifting weights
Speaker 1: so he can build some muscle mass, bone density, all
Speaker 1: that stuff. But he hasn't been doing anything crazy, like
Speaker 1: like some marathon or something. He's just and he's eating
Speaker 1: fat and protein primarily, and he's in like the best
Speaker 1: shape I've seen. I can recall him being in. You know,
Speaker 1: he was heavier when I was younger, and now he's
Speaker 1: older and he's like got veins popping out of his
Speaker 1: biceps and stuff. He's not like some fat dude. He's
Speaker 1: not eating fat and like, oh I'm so fat. He's
Speaker 1: like he's in good shape. Only you know I would
Speaker 1: I would recommend him working out just for the muscle sake,
Speaker 1: but his body is like I bet, like I've seen
Speaker 1: he lifts generators out of campers. He's like helping me
Speaker 1: with my car work. We're doing motorcycle stuff. We're doing
Speaker 1: stuff side by sides, changing tires, all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1: And he's not weak. He's eating the diet that they
Speaker 1: say not to eat, but right now physically he looks
Speaker 1: better than he was before in his heart and his
Speaker 1: blood pressure and his glucose levels are down, and they're
Speaker 1: all where they're supposed to be or closer to where
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be. And how do you argue with
Speaker 1: this evidence that is so obvious?
Speaker 2: And this is the frustrating thing for me. I remember
Speaker 2: growing up. Eat wheat, hearts, eat oatmeal, eat this stuff.
Speaker 2: Don't eat butter. Don't eat eggs, eat canola oil. Let's
Speaker 2: get that drag yeah, country croc butter or margarine. Get that.
Speaker 2: That's good for you. Get rid of those saturated fats
Speaker 2: out of your diet. Cut back. Don't eat bacon, don't
Speaker 2: eat eggs.
Speaker 1: Eggs.
Speaker 2: Eggs are bad. They have lots of cholesterol, especially the yolk.
Speaker 2: Don't eat that. And you know, that was the way
Speaker 2: I was raised. My mom she would try to feed
Speaker 2: his healthy. So what did we eat. We would have cheerios,
Speaker 2: we would have every kid, weatheart.
Speaker 1: We would have this whole commercial. Their whole vibe is
Speaker 1: being healthy, heart healthy and weedy rain.
Speaker 2: And they have that stamp of approval on this side
Speaker 2: from the American Heart Association says that they're heart healthy,
Speaker 2: but they pay money for it.
Speaker 1: The American Heart Association says they're great.
Speaker 2: It's something was messed up here. And you know these
Speaker 2: new studies, like the American Diabetes Association came out and said,
Speaker 2: you know what, there are advantages now to a low
Speaker 2: carbohydrate keto style diet. But you know what, it's buried
Speaker 2: on like page fifty. Yeah, because they can't admit they
Speaker 2: were wrong.
Speaker 1: You want to hear something funny?
Speaker 2: What so?
Speaker 1: You know my wife works near a sugar factor.
Speaker 2: Yes, beats sugar beets.
Speaker 1: And I'm not one to run the air conditioner all
Speaker 1: the time in my car. But I picked up my
Speaker 1: son and will you for some reason, we're going to
Speaker 1: my wife's work, which is very close to the sugar factory.
Speaker 2: What's that smell? Oh?
Speaker 1: It smells so terrible. Dad rolled the windows and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm not the windows, but hey, buddy, if anything smells
Speaker 1: that bad for you to be able to eat it,
Speaker 1: would you eat it? And he was like, no, I
Speaker 1: would never eat that, And I said, that's what candy
Speaker 1: is made out of. Oh, and you know what's funny.
Speaker 1: Any particular sugar factory literally goes like they have trucks
Speaker 1: that go from that factory to the pepsi factory across
Speaker 1: the street, and my son the next day, he's seven,
Speaker 1: but he said he had to tell me a I
Speaker 1: was like, what's wrong? Did you eat something weird? Did you?
Speaker 1: And he says, I think that ichy smell from that
Speaker 1: garbage factory. I was like, you get it.
Speaker 2: I just want to help people, you know, honestly, at
Speaker 2: my age, I want to help people. There are a
Speaker 2: lot of people that are, if they haven't already, are
Speaker 2: on a collision course with the same kind of diagnosis
Speaker 2: that I had. Diabetes right now is like off the charts.
Speaker 2: What have we fed our kids that are getting diabetes? Now, well,
Speaker 2: let's give them fruit juices, and let's give them all
Speaker 2: the fruit snacks. Let's give them, you know, healthy grains,
Speaker 2: whole wheat breads, all of this stuff, which sounds great
Speaker 2: because that's what we've been indoctrinated to believe. But why
Speaker 2: then do we have this epidemic of type two diabetes
Speaker 2: And then on the cusp of that, now you're having
Speaker 2: this incidence of heart disease that is also skyrocketing. High
Speaker 2: glucose equals heart disease if it runs too long, And
Speaker 2: that's what's happening we're seeing it. I mean, go to
Speaker 2: any cardiologists. They are so busy right now. So obviously,
Speaker 2: how long have we had this food pyramid to stop
Speaker 2: heart disease? It's been around since what seventies, eighties, changed, nineties,
Speaker 2: They modified it, yes, but it hasn't worked because the
Speaker 2: incidence is increasing the percentage. It's not a per capita thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's bad, it's horrible. Over the last ten years,
Speaker 2: there's been a ninety percent increase in diabetes. That's huge.
Speaker 2: That beat the diabetes. Yeah, you think ninety percent increase
Speaker 2: and then heart disease is the number one killer of people.
Speaker 2: COVID No, gosh, you know that just freaks me out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people in their houses, they didn't get sunlight, they
Speaker 1: weren't getting vitamins, they were eating shit and taters for everything.
Speaker 2: Plus they're discouraged and depressed anxiety.
Speaker 1: Does that help your lifestyle and your health and everything.
Speaker 1: It's so silly, And I'm not against I'm not like
Speaker 1: an anti COVID person, but I don't see the logic
Speaker 1: in just isolating people and having them eat top ram
Speaker 1: And I don't get it.
Speaker 2: Well, you know it was a perfect storm, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: you have this climax of all, you know, let's call
Speaker 2: the triad, the unholy trinity of COVID, poor diet.
Speaker 1: The horsemen, the pestilence.
Speaker 2: And then you know, what do you do? What do
Speaker 2: you do? So you just stay at home and you
Speaker 2: have social media that's your connection.
Speaker 1: Oh great, social media is a great source.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, make sure peaceful and happy?
Speaker 1: Right? Plus that blue light, oh yeah, helps you sleep?
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know's it's bad. We could go on
Speaker 2: and on about this, you know. I want to throw
Speaker 2: out some statistics. I want to throw out some studies.
Speaker 2: I want to throw out a little bit of hard
Speaker 2: science because, like we said, right now, it's just me,
Speaker 2: my own personal experience, blabbing. But I'm kind of angry.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can hear it in my voice.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if it's angry. I'm frustrated and
Speaker 2: I'm sad, and I'm concerned. You know, I think about
Speaker 2: people that I care about, that I know that I
Speaker 2: that I've known in my past that have lost loved
Speaker 2: ones because of heart disease, that have struggled with all
Speaker 2: kinds of health issues, because of what's been going on,
Speaker 2: and a lot of it's diet oriented, and you know,
Speaker 2: we thought we were doing what was right, and you know,
Speaker 2: maybe we weren't. And then now to change course, basically,
Speaker 2: to flip it upside down and go the other way.
Speaker 2: And like I every day when I meet cooking bacon
Speaker 2: in the morning, I feel like, oh, this is bad.
Speaker 1: It is weird, isn't it. Yeah, because I eat four
Speaker 1: eggs a day, a protein shake and then a meat
Speaker 1: based dinner. Because I'm trying to work out, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to be strong, I'm trying to like build my body up.
Speaker 1: I feel better than I have been for me.
Speaker 2: I sometimes I just don't even know what to think
Speaker 2: about any of it. It's hard because I'm like, I'm
Speaker 2: not a doctor, I'm not classically trained in medicine. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't want to do something stupid and
Speaker 2: kill myself. I want to be here for my family.
Speaker 2: We'll be here for you and my wife. I want
Speaker 2: to have a healthy life. I don't want to be
Speaker 2: an invalid and a wheelchair. I don't want to have
Speaker 2: a stroke. I want to be able to have a
Speaker 2: good life for as long as possible and be productive
Speaker 2: in society. And what I'm doing feels like the right thing,
Speaker 2: but it feels wrong at the same time. And I,
Speaker 2: you know, I gravitate towards these people that I have
Speaker 2: found that are given me wisdom that makes really good,
Speaker 2: solid sense and is based on hard science instead of preference,
Speaker 2: because I, you know, honestly, I don't even like necessarily
Speaker 2: eating the way I eat. I would love to go
Speaker 2: out and eat biscuits and gravy every morning and get
Speaker 2: back to my diet of dots, pretzels and Dragon's milk beer.
Speaker 2: That would be more pleasurable.
Speaker 1: Isn't that what our human body is into, Like we
Speaker 1: crave instant gratification. Yes, look at Facebook, look at Instagram,
Speaker 1: look at Twitter. Everything's how many likes, how many things
Speaker 1: can we get? And then you throw a couple of
Speaker 1: dots pretzels in your hole, and then you have the
Speaker 1: instant satisfaction of a calorically dense food, and you have
Speaker 1: the instant satisfaction of a beer.
Speaker 2: It blows your nice It's just nutritional.
Speaker 1: Alcohol content is so high, and the dragon milk just
Speaker 1: just nukes all your your physical responses to everything. Your
Speaker 1: sore knees go away, your headache goes away. Your tense neck,
Speaker 1: your shoulders, whatever goes away, and now you've got this
Speaker 1: boost of calories too, because your body craves calories because
Speaker 1: you're a human.
Speaker 2: And it starts packing it away in your fat layer.
Speaker 1: That's what it's supposed to do. Yep, yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: your body craves. Is calorically dense.
Speaker 2: But then it's just all of that gluten and all
Speaker 2: of that stuff in there is also an inflammatory, so
Speaker 2: your joints start hurting the next morning.
Speaker 1: Because surprise, we don't live in the world where you
Speaker 1: have to fight off a bear to get some berries.
Speaker 1: We live in the wind. You have to fight off
Speaker 1: Karen of the checkout line to get six thousand calories worth.
Speaker 2: Of what do you feel yucky? Well, I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: here longer. I don't feel like you know.
Speaker 1: I was so sick of all this beer.
Speaker 2: What am I gonna do while I'm sitting here? I
Speaker 2: better have another dots pretzel.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get a bottle of wine.
Speaker 2: I gotta wash it down with something. I better get
Speaker 2: some dragons, milk or someone.
Speaker 1: Meat sounds so gross. I'm gonna eat some bread to
Speaker 1: sop up this alcohol.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Okay, I got to make sure I throw
Speaker 2: this in here. I'm not condemning Dragon's Milk. I really
Speaker 2: love that beer. It's very high alcohol, but it has
Speaker 2: got to be something you do very sparingly in my situation,
Speaker 2: you know. Okay, that brings up an important point. Some people.
Speaker 2: Some people they don't react to two carbs. They don't
Speaker 2: react to beer, they don't react to you know, dots, pretzels,
Speaker 2: or they can eat biscuits and gravy forever and their
Speaker 2: blood sugar will spike and they're never in danger of
Speaker 2: heart disease because they're not gonna have that stuff running
Speaker 2: around in there arteries. It's gonna, you know, basically tear
Speaker 2: out the banks of their river, and the body's not
Speaker 2: going to have to pour in a bunch of bulldozed
Speaker 2: plaque to try to fill the gaps. They're gonna be fine.
Speaker 2: And I'm so jealous of you, dang you. I think
Speaker 2: we need to do another episode and talk about the
Speaker 2: history of the pyramid, history of all of these things,
Speaker 2: how this stuff kind of is set out, because it's
Speaker 2: not like it they just somebody said, oh, let's do
Speaker 2: something evil and make people die. They had good intentions
Speaker 2: but past that they never correct it. It's like all science,
Speaker 2: you get stuck on a point and you try to
Speaker 2: prove it, and then if it's your point, you're not
Speaker 2: going to admit that it's wrong. But science should be
Speaker 2: about the facts. And so what I'd like to do
Speaker 2: in another episode is talk about the facts and throw
Speaker 2: it out there, and then let people make wise decisions
Speaker 2: in their p suit of their own health. And if
Speaker 2: they are on a trajectory like I was for diabetes
Speaker 2: and heart disease and poor health, maybe you can make
Speaker 2: a change and with prayer and discussion with your doctors,
Speaker 2: whatever it takes, make a change in your lifestyle that
Speaker 2: can make a change in how well you live. You
Speaker 2: get life once, you might as well make the most
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, all right, the time has come. Die
Speaker 1: this cub, join us next time.
Speaker 2: This duct time for some.
Speaker 1: Cold drinks and some and some strange conversation. Donate carbs,
Speaker 1: buy pat.
Speaker 2: Don't eat teeters, don't tears, tailors, God damn tatars.
Speaker 5: Just tears. Is the devil. Taters come from the ground.
Speaker 1: That's where the devil lives.
Speaker 5: The Lord came down and summoned the serpent to the earth,
Speaker 5: and he shall eat the dust of humanity.
Speaker 1: For the rest of his tastes.
Speaker 3: And that is exactly what potatoes, well ship and potatoes
Speaker 3: are Satan's favor of food. And you should know that
Speaker 3: because everybody who's ever been to McDonald's knows that those
Speaker 3: goddamn mother flipping taters are so addictive. Those taters are
Speaker 3: the best taters that have ever walked the face of
Speaker 3: this earth.
Speaker 1: And if you lead
Speaker 5: Those taters into that trait long enough in your cart,
Speaker 5: you know
