No, you can get, you can get into drinking shape where you're not as hungover. Like, I could drink a bottle of wine, wake up, coffee, shower, and I'm 100%. Wow.

Which isn't good. Tolerant. You're saying you're totally tolerant. Yeah, and then if I take a break from booze and have two glasses of wine, I'm like, you're fucked? Yeah. Oh, interesting. Okay.

So, Nick's just like, I'm a hungover right now. No, no. I'm drunk right now. Now when I drink, I don't drink like I used to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just wake up the next day feeling like kind of groggy all day. But I've had hangovers where you're like Googling, can you die from a hang? Oh, wow, really.

That's so funny. Is it because. He's on Chad, Chabitin, talking about nutrition. You're on there like, am I going to die? drinking too much Zima so hold on so so and that feels like what

like the fluy yeah almost food poisoning oh okay oh god so so why is that worth it why do it's not anymore that's not the goal though

yeah yeah I think I've changed but it's like that how many times you could probably it's probably countless how many times you two have been hung over right you probably couldn't count

on your hands and toes how many times you've been hung over. My point is that's too many. Yeah, yeah. But what I'm saying is if I eat and I can, I can I can do this easy. Two double

doubles from in and out. Cheese fries. Oh, now we're talking with them. And the chocolate shake. And I can do that at... Uh-huh. And I can do that at 2 a.m. Yeah, yeah. Go to sleep. I wake up. I feel like dog shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But to me, yes. But not

just in my stomach i'm like yeah yeah pain and shit so i'm like if i can't do that i can't drink and have a hangover right right right bro it that feels awful look i had a delicious expensive rib eye last night and i and this morning i was a little bit like yeah but you know i know what you're saying like when i when i don't eat like right before i go to bed which i haven't been i feel i wake up i feel fucking good bro i'm tight up in here see this i'm old enough to remember I guess it's you're old enough too but I remember when they changed over to they made past a law that they had to put to calories yeah I'm not that old yeah I don't right I know but okay so for me in my fattest days right

I remember I would come home and I would go get it would be late yeah and I'd go get a Big Mac yeah with an orange soda and what that's like 1600 calories yeah yeah and and then the orange soda I'm saying No, it's disgusting Yeah, the whole thing is like So I've already had a day of eating Oh yeah, yeah

You know what I'm trying to say And then now I have 2,500 2700 calories before I'm going to bed And you didn't know No You just didn't know And then when you hear about what this is Now, but what I'm saying is

Having that knowledge Even now When you're eating This is like the hangover thing Like why keep doing it Because you're just like What's saying, yeah It's just

I mean everything changed man I remember you used to go or like Starbucks and someplace like that and they would have these huge muffins and then they had the calorie thing on there so the first like three months you'd see the muffin and it would say 1,500 calories

then you're just looking at just like oh what was it really? Yeah dude and I guess the muffins are getting smaller they're getting more muffins in this case that's why everything's smaller now that's exactly why it's because of the calories you can't show the calories like I remember

Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake Factory they had a piece of carrot cake Just a piece of carrot cake You know those big 1,200 calories Just for a piece of carrot cake So I'm just saying And then they're telling you By the way

2,000 calories is what you're supposed to have in a day And I'm having that Before I go to bed Just like So I remember Is this count for today or tomorrow? So that's what I would be like It's after midnight

Fuck it all I just won't count it for either this is the gray area it was tough man it's tough so like now even now knowing that it's like you know you go someplace and you're like well what's the calories of this and that and bro and it's crazy so many calories but it's crazy and i like to eat good i'm not talking about eat a lot i'm saying i like to

eat good you know so i'm well yeah let's go to this steakhouse let's go to this and you know but there's there's um certain foods that like bro it's crazy how little calories certain things are and you're like that's it you go or or how much it is you go yeah yeah oh no that's what I'm saying I fucking can't eat I can't eat four those

yeah yeah like bro when they when people bring out cookies yeah and they're like I'm like people eat two cookies like I'm being dead serious bro I'm like

what dude I used to house I mean two cooking fuck you bro like Oreos how many did you make I used to have milk Oreos and just be

yeah by the sleeve yeah Oh, yeah, bro. Like, what's his name? Brian Regan, like a wood chipper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I get you.

You look at you. Oh, and how about this is another one that pisses me off, too. Now they have these tricks. So let's say you have like a bottle of something you want to drink, and it says, oh, I know. It goes 70 calories per serving. And you're like, oh, this is great. Then you look at says 15 servings.

Oops, with an empty bottle. Yeah, man. Yeah. But I remember I stopped drinking soda. Even before I wanted to diet or anything, I stopped drinking soda. Same. I just was like, I can't do this. And then now, if I ever even have even a, like, sometimes I'll be like, you'll get like one of those like fancy root beers.

You know, sometimes I want to, you know, I'm having a sandwich. I'll be like, I haven't had a root beer in a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, I feel like I'm drinking diabetes. Yeah, I know, I know. How many calories is in a Coke can? I believe it is... It's like 210?

Yeah, something like that. What is it? And like 50 grams of sugar. It's the sugar. That's the bad shit. It's the sugar. Okay. It's just...

Yeah, but that's not many calories, honestly. No, but it's the sugar. The sugar that's killing you. You know, look at... Like, look up Hawaiian punch. 39 grams of sugar. Look up Hawaiian Punch. Oh, I know.

You might as well just get it by a gun. Dude, Hawaiian Punch used to be my jam. Not me, dude. I always thought that shit was disgusting. Oh, when I was like in our teens, boy, I'd be like, give me that Hawaiian punch. Also, you're black, too. 60-cats, wait, that's not Hawaiian punch. I'm talking about the in the can.

That says 40 calories. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like one set. But there's four servings in that container. Oof. Not that bad. Not that bad, but. That's not the one in the can. That's probably now.

No, that's, yeah, yeah. You probably look at the European. version yeah yeah the fancy one have you guys noticed that when you go to europe people always come back they're like oh i ate pasta and bread you probably didn't eat like this time but they come back and they're like oh and i feel great like it's not like the pasta here yeah i i believe that i believe that i mean even with the you know people they have their gluten allergy people don't have a gluten allergy they have an allergy about how they make how the how the gluten is produced or whatever is like that so in other places they don't have that shit and so you can eat bread

and all that kind of stuff, and it's no big deal. I didn't know that. A lot of this stuff is just myths anyway. I, uh, I ate a, I listen to Chuck Norris and his wife. I love them. The karate guy? Yeah, just like, yeah, Chuck Norris and his guy, you got to give a disclaimer or something. No, no, Chuck Norris and his wife would be like, they go like, do you, do you have, do you have, what do you eat for breakfast?

Do you eat cereal? And then they had their facts. They'll be like, no, the, the food and drug administration back in the whatever, they, they made. Yeah, breakfast is not the most. important meal of the day. You shouldn't have cereal. You shouldn't have orange juice. And it's all this shit where you're just like, I'm from that era where they, you know, you were like, oh, yeah, you have to have orange juice. You know what I mean? It's fucked up, dude. Yeah. But, um, I can't vibe with not eating yokes though. He says egg whites. Yoke is, well, no, yeah,

there's a lot of fat in the yokes, but yeah, yeah, you, you can eat. Dude, there's a whole thing about eggs now. I saw a thing where the guy was like, he ate 25 eggs a day, right? okay and then after a time they tested his whatever and he was like the health benefits are supposedly

out of this world what they tell you to give your kid a new like you know the first three years give them an egg every single day for brain growth and all this kind of stuff you know you look up all these things

you're like well shit what do you give your kid what do you not give your kid you know what I mean Wolf will not eat an egg no Billy hates eggs unless it's in a burrito oh that's funny

we get him a breakfast burrito with eggs and potatoes this motherfucker but if I give him just some egg he's just like weird yeah so picky um the yeah that's uh what the fuck were you listening to Chuck Norris for I don't even know how that would present

itself in my life Thank you.
