Joe Rogan Experience #2458 - Matt McCusker

Lighting and Filters in Media00:01

People use lights on tables to light up faces, avoiding shadows to look better. Flashlight under chin for scary stories creates shadows. Men using filters on pictures look like cartoons in person. Netflix promotes specials with filtered pictures, making comedians look pretty; fans say they look horrible or old after shows.

Joe Rogan is 58, almost 60. Guest just turned 40. Guest aged immediately after having kids due to lack of sleep. Creatine recommended: start with 5g, work up to 20g/day, check butthole seal as high doses cause diarrhea. Guest does 10g morning and night to avoid gut issues. Diarrhea speeds digestion but dysentery (constant diarrhea) prevents nutrient absorption, leading to starvation.

Diet Experiments and Digestion02:31

Kale smoothies with garlic and apples clear guts like hosing rain gutters. Green drinks cause big dumps. Guest got hemorrhoids from vegan month due to massive turds twice daily. Fiber pushes out unprocessed food, keeps clean. Carnivore diet argues no fiber needed; body absorbs all meat. Microbiome needs fiber for good germs benefiting brain. Guest eats kimchi and sauerkraut for balance. Tried carnivore: felt good first 5 days, up to 17 days but stopped pooping, felt unhealthy without vegetables. No fiber means rabbit pellets; carnivores say meat absorbs fully, no need for plants to push it out.

Old myth: every man dies with pound of undigested meat in stomach, like John Wayne with 50 pounds of beef jerky in butthole. Actually from beer, pasta, bread. John Wayne filmed The Conqueror (1956, Genghis Khan movie) near Nevada nuclear tests; whole crew got cancer.
