The Adam and Dr. Drew Show - We Need To Bring Back Religion Into Politics (The Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics)

Episode Date: August 31, 2024

The fellas discuss how politics lack a religious element and that it should be brought back into the political culture once again.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. I am your host Big Brother Jake aka Jake Warner, mug over the name, let's get into it. Up first, episode 1270 titled The Feelings Hopper which aired on May 5th, 2020, Adam talks with Dr. Drew and they have a deep discussion about religion and they ask the question, should religion be reintroduced into American society? Well, let's take a listen and see what they say. Is there a way or should we, based on what we were talking about on Monday, should we be bringing back religion?

Oh, yeah. How do we do that? Not for me, but yes. No, I've really been thinking about it. It's it's the I think it's the cause of a lot of this thinking. How do we do that? I mean, you got to remember that remember the 80s when there was a lot of religious fundamentalism and stuff that that wasn't so great either. You know, wasn't well, You know, wasn't it? Well, it...

Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well,

well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, or is the net not the gross? Whatever comes out the other side, if society is 2% better, then so be it. And then people kinda go, well what about these pedophile priests?

And I'm like, okay, we'll factor that in. You know what I mean, there's a factor. I don't know, it's like, look, you take something like the Boy Scouts. We've decided to basically get rid of the Boy Scouts. Okay, now you can say, well, the Boy Scouts do this and the Boy Scouts do that. And we disagree with this and we disagree with that.

And I'll go, okay, but what's the net of the Boy Scouts? Is it a good thing or is it a bad thing? And they'll go, well, they do these five bad things. And I'll go, right, right, but they do 18 good things, so I'll live with the Boy Scout. Their plan is get rid of everything that disagrees with them. That's the death of math, yeah, that's the death of math.

Math is gone in a cancel society. Right. One misstep, cancel, no matter how much good. Right, so if the net of religion is good, then I'm fine with it. Which I believe it is. How do you bring it back though? I don't understand how that will happen. I don't know. Maybe these UFO spottings will somehow bring it back. UFO spottings will somehow bring it back. I don't know. It's kind of an interesting thing.

It's funny because Dennis Prager is a deeply religious guy. Sometimes people will say to him, what about your buddy Adam? He's an atheist. How do you square that? And Dennis just kind of goes, he's okay, like he doesn't need it. Like. He doesn't need religion.

He's got his own religion. It's kind of the ultimate compliment. He's basically saying that guy can govern himself. He's fine, he's a good guy. He's not gonna hurt anybody. I take it as a compliment. Anyway, my feeling is I like people feeling like they have to answer to someone

or to something for their life or lifestyle or behavior. And I don't really mean it in a very nuts and bolts kind of way, I just mean like have some faith, have some thoughts. I just mean like have some faith, have some thoughts. You know, again, as we talked about on Monday, I think, you know, I just feel like it's easier to say goodbye to Nana if you think she's going to be reunited with Grandpa. No, no, we've sort of been through that, but I don't understand how you reignited. I mean, this country has been through these things called the Great Awakenings.

Like there's been, I believe, three of them. And where there's this suddenly these religious revivals and they're unique to America. I don't know whether they grew out of episodes like this or where is it something else? I mean, people were already pretty religious even before the Great Awakenings, it seems to me. But it's like we have to bring back something,

you know, from nothing. Yeah, it also kind of makes you wonder where the government's at with this, you know, because when you think about, religion is we're looking for a sort of big protector, somebody to protect us, to a degree. And I feel like in a way, government is the competition of religion. And you look at the way the government treated churches and synagogues in places like that

versus you know liquor stores and fast food places and they had a little different approach you know they were cracking down hard on and I'm not talking about you know crackpot preacher from Florida told the flock they're all gonna get together and join. I'm talking about guys in their car doing, you know, tune into a AM 1190 and I'll preach in a mister microphone and you guys can listen in your car. Cops were showing up and breaking that shit up too. Like they seem particular, I don't know, stringent, I guess, on churches and synagogues and religion and a little more catches catch can with some of the other aspects of this quarantine. And

it's it's it is interesting to me. Also, I heard it's anecdotal, but I heard some woman who was running kind of a bootleg hair cutting place, you know, just driving people underground. It's not like people will not get haircuts. They'll know a guy who knows a guy, show up at the guy's house like a speakeasy, give the knock and get the haircut in the guy's garage. You know, that's what you're going to do to people.

You install ProBish and people start making booze in their bathtub. That's the way it's gonna work. But this woman was interviewed and the question was asked, who are these people? Who are your clients? Who is showing up? like who are these people? Who are your clients?

Like who is showing up? And she said it's mostly conservative religious people that are showing up. That's interesting. They seem, because they have two things, I think a slightly different relationship with fear. Death. And a different relationship with the government.

So when Gavin Newsom tells a super hard left guy, lock it down, he says done and done. When you tell someone who's a little more right wing, maybe a little more religious or even a freer, just, you know, you could, you could think libertarian type, lock it down. He goes, fucking, I'm taking a hike on that trail. Yeah. Right. It's like, it's a different relationship with authority. I think what happens is if you're deeply religious, then God is the authority.

If you're an atheist, then Gavin Newsom's the authority. Right. Why do you think that, like, for instance, Western Europe does not have a lot of religion, but they also don't have these same psychological issues that we seem to have? You know? Is it that they didn't have the same destroyed family systems

and childhood trauma, or what do we think it is? I can't figure that out. I think, and I've never thought about it before but What Western Europe Religion It probably took them longer to wean themselves off of religion Just a theory. I don't have any numbers to back this up. You mean in terms of their overall history?

Yeah, I feel like we came off religion faster. Well, they fought a bunch of wars around religion too. I think they burned themselves out. We came off of religion in like the last 10 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. You know, so we got the bends. I mean, we came off. I think I think you can. I don't wean is not the right word.

But what I'm saying is, is if you slowly transition from a religious culture to a sort of an atheist culture, you can slowly transition to that. If everyone's parents were religious and were not the next generation or all atheists, it's gonna be a little more chaotic. Right. And I think that's kind of what we're experiencing. When we grew up in this country,

I don't know, 70% of people said, yes, I'm some form of religion. Now it's 21% or whatever. That's a fast turnaround. Yeah. I think we struggle like we struggle with soccer. Why can't people play soccer? Because our grandads didn't play soccer. You know, this is too new for us.

It's gonna take a little while. You can't get used to it. Well, I mean, just think about what percentage of the country was religious when you were your kid's age and what percentage is now and it just keeps dropping. So it's gonna be changes. We went through an uptick for a while,

it seemed like in like 80s and 90s and then it just, that was the end of that. Yeah, I guess. I don't know if there's an uptick or those were just big televangelists or on TV. I've never been religious, so I don't follow it. But I do sense there's this great saying that I'll paraphrase here,

but when you stop believing in God, it's not that you believe in nothing, it's not that you believe in nothing. It's that you'll believe in anything. I wish that was mine, but my point is, is yeah, all these people sort of worshiping the environment and food and veganism and, you know, Greenpeace and all this good, this all become anything now. It's its own, it's anything. I mean really think about that.

Welcome back and thanks for tuning in to the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics. Up next we go to episode 1457 titled as a Dialogue, and that aired on August 5th, 2021. Adam and Dr. Drew go straight to the phones and have a discussion regarding elected officials and how many of them may be, wait for it, narcissistic. Check it out. All right. Let's see. We got some phone calls.

Yes, we do. We should get to. Well, just go to the top and roll down. Pablo, 31 Houston. Yeah, mi-ho. Mi-ho. I just want to say long time, first time, it's absolutely awesome being able to say hi to you guys. You guys are rock stars.

Thanks Pablo. I was actually listening to the CDC figures that you were talking about. Michelle Linskay just has an ad on, probably also ties in with the question. But for context, I was on their website, and effectively the COVID-19 pediatric mortality rate data from January of 2020 to today is still less than the total influenza amount of the 2019-2020 season for kids and it looks

like they just find kids as being from 0 to 17. 0 to 17 well good good to know I guess you turn 18 you're an adult. Right. Gary was able to double check those numbers from Wednesday. All right. Interesting. What's going on Pablo? Thank you. Yeah I wanted to ask you guys like you know the theme of All Roads Lead to Narcissism and as we think about public policy and effectively electing our leaders. Like, you know, what are your thoughts on, you know, should we be looking for candidates that essentially have low self-esteem? And, you know, might that be a better indicator

of, you know, people in leadership positions? Yeah, I think so. I mean, the first thing you have to, the first thing, you have to be able to go, well, here's what I think, but I'm not sure, what is my impulse is to do this. This makes sense. This is the problem with the world right now,

this unwillingness to be, to grow and be objective and to listen and to change your opinion. That's weird that people don't do that. Yeah, but the highest self-esteem person that's running anything is Lori Lightfoot of Chicago. Like she makes she says insane things and then somebody questions her and then she gets angry and then doubles down on it. Right. That's her that's her deal. She seems like the most self-assured, insane, angry person I've ever met. But that's narcissism, because underneath that hard surface is a deep doubt, a deep uncertainty.

There better be. Everything she says is wrong. Yeah. They just can't adjust. They can't be flexible. They can't sort of learn. Yeah, yeah. They get exposed to shame and all kinds of things

very easily. Right. Pablo, thoughts? Yeah, they just say they have to they get exposed to shame and all kinds of things very easily right Pablo thoughts. Yeah, what are you? What are some of your techniques or maybe just observations, right? Like you guys are surrounded by pencil town, right? So I'm sure you maybe encounter more of this behavior then I don't know places in middle America, right? So like, you know when you come to you know Think about DC and the policies that come from there and electing leaders over the whole country.

Like, what are some of the things you look for to like tease out, you know, these kinds of traits, right? Which, you know, denote a narcissism and that, you know, they're probably, you know, they don't have the populace's best interests at heart, right, and maybe that's already a telltale sign that, you know, the vote might be casted elsewhere. have the populace's best interests at heart, right? And maybe that's already a telltale sign that the vote might be casted elsewhere.

To me, one of the telltale signs that gets missed is that they have nobility. They're coming to aid the homeless people and leave them alone. And they feel so gratified by their own nobility that they're gonna kill people. They're not homeless. Well, yeah, okay.

If you start hearing the currently unhoused instead of homeless, once you start hearing those buzz phrases, it's done. We know they're full of shit. You're actually pushing away from the solution that way. Well, what you're doing is you're working some semantic argument instead of, you know, it's basically, you know, it's the contractor saying the foundation of your house is shot and then you say every home deserves a good foundation. You know what I mean?

Yeah, listen, I would just... It's shot and you go, I want to live in a world where there are no foundations. It's like, all right, now I can see you have no interest in solving this problem. I just entered into an author who... Your answer needs to be what's wrong with the foundation? What's it going to take? How much is it going to cost? How long is it going to do? Not explaining to the contractor that he shouldn't, that using foundation can be considered hurtful. Once you start going down that road, then we're no longer in the realm

of problem solving. So anyone who wants to discuss the language, they're out, because you're not into solving the problem. There you go, these are illegal aliens, these are temporary, unhoused and unemployed indigenous people. Like, all right, oh, we're not into problem solving there. Why would we be? Look, I go to the other fucking shop, and Sean goes, we gotta do something with the headers on the portion, I go, exhaust manifold.

Okay, now we're talking about, it's the same thing. He called it a header. I called exhaust manifold but as I want to keep talking about exhaust manifold and why he needs to start saying it because it could be it could be it Could be hurtful to those who don't have headers, but who only have exhaust whatever it is. We're not on the problem The second the language kicks in you're off the problem.. We're talking about the language, which is their plan By the way, they're not Look You know, what have I told Eric Garcetti or Gavin Newsom

The city's gonna get an extra $10,000 a year for every homeless person who take off the street from the federal government Don't you think they would do something? Yes. Yeah They do it with kids in schools Do it with homeless they just they're not motivated. They want to talk though that the second you hear language That that person is signaling that they're not into the problem I just interviewed an author who chronicled very clearly that the homeless rise is associated with the mass distribution of meth and I started thinking it's exactly right because everything is meth fentanyl on the

streets, everything. Right. It's something like 80% meth now and the meth will take you to the streets in about two to four weeks. Right. And so that's really and is anyone talking about meth? Is anybody discussing that? No because the face of homeless is a mother who was gainfully employed for 30 years and she has three children and now the factory closes. She's forced to sleep on the sidewalk. To like be forced to sleep on it. I'm curious, like as a thought experiment,

what would be your thoughts on, and I know this is like no silver bullet, but like imagine if any kind of public serving official was unable to run for reelection right what that already changed the incentive structure right then now it's about your legacy right and not about what are we going to do from day one to get reelected well we just like I said Gavin Newsom has got two million bucks from the teachers unions you think you think they're in the habit of just giving away money?

By the way should public unions be giving away money to Democrats or Republicans. Yeah, right Let's seem a little weird. Yes How about you let him make policy and you teach kids? Yeah Why are you paying him? Yeah, it's true I mean the sound it's not this isn't one thing it's one truck drivers unions. It's not, this isn't a truck driver's union. It's a public union. Yeah, it's one thing if he wants your votes, but now you're handing him money. I don't know, maybe Gary you can find that story.

Go ahead. Yeah, I've got that. It's right here. Knockin' Doors Down, everyone. The Knockin' Doors Down podcast aims to end stigma around addiction, recovery, mental health, serious mental illness.

All right I want to roll some more calls there too. Got a parenting question from Chicago. Hello. Hi, guy. Hi, guy. Hey, so I'm getting married.

She has a 12 year old son from a previous relationship and we can't get seem to get him to get involved with his peers. He has no friends. He's had no sleepovers and he's not anti-social. When we take him somewhere, he has no problems talking to adults, children, nothing. And it's just becoming apparent that he doesn't enjoy being in situations unless he's number one, he's in control. You know, we asked him if he wants to go do something with one of his friends and he's just not interested.

How? Sure. How is any of this COVID related? You're in Chicago. So you got the fucking retard Lightfoot. No, it's Chico, California. Oh, you're Chico. Okay.

Okay. Oh, you're Chico, okay Chico so While you're in California everything got shut down here, too. Is it any of that? Well, we're pretty we're pretty free up here They were shut down for about eight months In the schools and yeah that that had a big a big thing to do. They had an eight month summer vacation to do nothing. My son was starting to spend way too much time in his room sleeping in, you know, hanging out. I mean, kids can fall out of that, they can fall out of that schedule like grandpa slipping

in the tub. You know what I mean? Like you go from spry to clinging to life fucking fast. It is, you know, it's kind of a crazy, I'm going off on a philosophical whatever here, but it was interesting. I was out in front of my condo the other day, and it's like I looked at some cacti that I'd planted,

small, and they would all look dry and shitty and whatever, and it's like, oh man, I guess I need to water these things. They look fucked up, and they're not coming. And I hit them with the hose. I hit them with the hose maybe two times. And I went down there this morning, I looked at them, I was like, oh, they're back. Like, it doesn't take much one direction or the next. Like nature's like, you can go down fast, you can pop up fast.

We were talking I think last show about how language is being manipulated and people are going so far in this weird direction. I thought, what is it going to take to get back? I asked you that I think of the show. And then I actually at the time was thinking to myself, if we just lay up, we'll automatically go back. We'll go back to reality Yeah, reality will always kind of push through when you mean the layup Stop with the language bullshit. Just let go for five minutes and just it won't like it won't stick. Yeah, so alright We're digressing but the point is is Mike, you know My son went down and he was like too much time in his room and getting up real late and and and the moms

And he was like too much time in his room and getting up real late and and and the moms For some reason I haven't figured it out, but far as the neighborhood kids it was The boys were in lockdown and the girls were not weird Don't know and your daughter was more anxious about it Yeah, but they were out playing and slumber partying and doing everything. But the boys were like so and so's mom won't let him out. A lot of that. I had I had girls at my house all the time, but the boys weren't able to come over. So interesting. We'll be right back with more of the Adam and Dr. Drew show classics.

We are back with the final clip of this episode. We go to episode 1485, which aired on October 17th, 2021. Former Biggest Loser host and trainer Jillian Michaels stopped by and she talked with the boys about how to live a healthier life. Jillian Michaels is our guest. Dr. Drew, there's a coaster for you. Thank you. Because I know you're not a coaster oriented. I am. I have to see a coaster. It's got to be in my field of vision.

I understand. Yeah. You can't close your eyes and picture a coaster. No, I can't do that. That's too hard. What do you see? Like clowns? When I close my eyes? When you close your eyes. Waves. Like if I said coaster and you close your eyes, you see waves. Waves, yeah.

But not a coaster. Not a coaster. Couldn't picture it. So if I told you, draw yeah. But not a coaster. Not a coaster. Couldn't picture it. So if I told you, draw me a picture of a coaster, you couldn't do it unless I actually showed you like a coaster modeling or something like that. All right, sorry, Julie. No, no, I had to follow his example previously when he was like, I'm just going to put my

water on my coaster. And I was like, oh, shh. Yes, yes, yes. Modeling. I was like, aha. Modeling behavior is very powerful. Jillian is dutiful. That's what we call her. There's an app called the Fitness App. That's Jillian's app available for your iPhone

or any of your phones at the app stores. Jillian, of course you all know Biggest Loser and all the fitness books and all the videos and everything else, the podcast as well. So let's talk a little fitness here. Let's talk about that. Whenever somebody comes in from your neck of the woods, I always kind of go, I like to just go breakfast, lunch and dinner.

What do we think? Okay, so what do I think for everyone else or what do I personally do? We'll take both. Do you think there is a universal everyone? I kind of do. Okay, hold on. I think that, look, there's some discrepancy and that's in my personal opinion based on what I've read and experts I've spoken to, we do have a different hormonal response to

food and I think that that's microbiome because there have been identical twins that have different hormonal responses to food. And that's the only explanation that I know of. And I've been learning more and more about it because I think it's so fascinating and it impacts so many different aspects of our health. However, I get a little nervous when we start saying like, oh, it's different for everybody. Well, because then people feel lost and it's like they're very susceptible to shysters. And it's like, look, at the end of the day,

So there are certain things we can say generally are true. Yeah. And at the end of the day, I can make it pretty darn simple. And I'm not saying easy. Don't overeat. You know, don't do that. Move your body as often as you can. It doesn't need to be... Eat less, move more. Yeah. Thank you. Use common sense with your food choices. Like a Dorito is not food. You know what I've noticed? I have noticed that just conscious eating, period, helps people adjust. No matter what they're trying to adjust to, just being conscious as opposed to just putting shit in your mouth to gratify. It's

really interesting to me. As I've gotten older, I've noticed that's a really significant piece of the story. It's like, whatever you're gonna do, even if it's just you're gonna throw the calories down a little bit, or you're gonna lower the fats, or lower the carb, whatever it is, just that conscious decision and doing it makes a huge difference for people. Oh, I think because you're paying attention for the first time.

It's like your eyes are finally open. You're like, holy crap, there's a million calories in that drink. I mean, it's not when I hear the Taco Bell bell, I have to run the Taco Bell, is that how we work? Well, you know, I just had this thought, but maybe I'll take the diet and I'll move it over to some things that are a little more in the zeitgeist, like, you know, politics or news

or things like that, which is this. Now we're living in an age where we have all the information at the tip of our fingers with our smartphones, but we're going gonna have to enable it a little bit. Yeah, it's like having access to fast food and Grubhub. It's all right. No, no, that's not. This is a little more subtle than that, which is if you turn on the news, and you hear him saying, you know, Joe Rogan's eating horse paste, to try to cure himself of COVID. That's your queue

to stop and go, what is this horse paste? Like, is he eating horse paste? Like, what is this thing they're talking about? You take a quick 10 seconds on your phone and you'll you can get a clear picture of what is going on. Yeah, and I think so, though, I find there is so much misinformation out there about this stuff. There is. You have but there's so much agenda. You have to see to me. It's kind of in the labeling.

And so I'll tie it together with this as it pertains to nutrition. You know, when you see the nature's bounty spread natural whatever, whatever, butter substitute something, and it's green, and there's a little girl chasing butterflies on it. It's from Wholesome Valley, except for they're in Muncie, Indiana. Turn it around and look at the label at that point, because they're pushing you, they're kind of pushing you a direction.

They're calling it nature's own green valley wholesome spread. And you got to go, what are they doing? Like, why, you know, like, so I have found that like, butter just just plain butter is it carries gold, you know what I mean? But it's not nature's wholesome, blah, blah, blah blah blah blah blah. They're trying to sort of manipulate with words So like take a moment read the thing see that it starts with hydrogenated soybean oil and go wait a minute Yeah, now wait a minute the back doesn't seem like the front, right? You know and and do the same thing when you turn on the news, when they're pushing this and pushing this, like stop and go, well, maybe there's something more to this.

It's a little more nuanced. So you're sort of deputized now. You know how many people I see drinking Arizona iced tea? And they think they're just, I'm not drinking a Coke with lunch. I'm drinking iced tea. Iced tea is what grandma made. You know what I mean? And it'll say like all natural iced tea or something. I go, well, it's all natural

iced tea. I'd be a fool to be drinking grape soda. That I know is bad, but this says all natural and iced tea. Turn it around. Look at the calories. See if it's any different than the grape soda or see what the first ingredient or second ingredient is on it like that because you know Madison Avenue and the guys who make all this stuff figured it out pretty quick We're gonna write natural and nature and bountiful and wholesome and we're gonna put a lot of imagery and honest a lot of positive imagery on the label, but that should be your cue to turn around. It's sort of like, you fly the air, we fly air,

fly coach, it's like, do you want comfort plus? It's like, there's nothing, there's a crazy euphemism. It's coach, in your seat reclines another 316 and 7 inch. There's nothing comfortable about this. Would we put it under the general heading It's coach. Your seat reclines another 360 and so on. There's nothing comfortable about this. Would we put it under the general heading of things being too on the nose? Yeah.

You know what I mean? It's like- Does it protest too much? It's just too much. It's on the nose. It's like, you know, again, the flowers and the girl chasing butterflies. I bet if you took-

Too on the nose for me. What's really going on? I bet if you took 10 products that we would all sort of, or Vinnie Torderich or whoever would endorse or sign off on and you looked at the labeling, a lot of it would just be the name, the name of the company, you know, there's not a bunch of over compensation. And then the other ones that have all the sort of pretty words on there, there's a reason. They're compensating.

It's really the whole topic of headlines. Right. It's headlines. Headlines are a fucking mess. Right. Whether it's on your butter or on your newsfeed. On your butter. Yeah. See, I like to tell people what to look for, but in some cases, it's inaccessible. So for example, I'm like, oh, well, when it comes to your dairy, I want you to look for the organic seal, because then we're removing a lot of the bad stuff. But when people can't afford it, then you got to take that education a little bit deeper. Right. That's hard. But you can sort of like, there's what to look for and what not to look for. If you

have the luxury of what to look for, grass-fed, organic, and then calories, that's my dairy game, check. But when you don't, it's definitely a little more complicated. You've got to be way more savvy. What's your breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or is there even breakfast? Because a lot of people nowadays just get breakfast. So for me, I definitely do a 12-hour and sometimes 14-hour fast, not for weight loss. I don't even understand it as it's not a weight loss thing unless you just have a shorter window to eat so you eat less food. But I do it for anti-aging so that my body isn't processing food.

I've listened to everybody from like David Sinclair talk about it, I've been able to interview lots of great scientists on it, so I create a 12 to 14 hour window where I don't eat. You know what, that's interesting, because I heard plenty of people fast for aging, but I don't hear people very often using the 12 to 14 hour window as an aging,

but it makes perfect sense that it would be helpful. I can't fast, I can't do it. So there's also, look, there's the science and then there's who you are. So to me, I'm like, I can't make it. Like, I will literally fall apart. So I think to myself, like if I create. It's enough stress, 14 hours, probably enough.

It's, you know, there's studies that say, like it's all beneficial. So I do, I can't get to 16 even, but I even have to cheat to 14. So I don't do the MCT oil, but it was explained to me that when you trigger the metabolic pathways that are triggered by protein and carbohydrates, that will throw you off, but fat doesn't.

So I'll do heavy organic whipping cream, little bit in an organic coffee in the morning, and that gets me to 14 hours. Then I do have breakfast. By the way, check for us. We're all in three in agreement on that. Oh, good. Okay.

Which is interesting, right? And then I get all three macros in every meal. So it could vary. Sometimes I have organic yogurt with like, and I go a little, you know, cocoa nibs and walnuts and cinnamon on top and the manuka honey. Like I'm a bit of a nut with the food. The fitness I'm not, the food I'm a bit like, I like my food to be really clean, especially like as I've gotten older. It's more and more important to me. That's all for this week. Thanks for listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew Show Classics. older, it's more and more important to me.
