Joe Rogan | Keto Is Boring w/Brian Redban

I'll tell you what though, I've been getting a lot of messages from people that are inspired and it makes me feel real good. I reached out to some dude yesterday on Instagram because he lost something like 200 fucking pounds. You know, I mean it's crazy. That's the dude who had the scars all over because he got his extra skin removed after he lost all the weight. It's amazing. Sober October, you know, sometimes you just have to have a thing like that where everybody goes, I'm going to do it too. And then it gives you the reason, like a motivation to get going. Sometimes it's all people need, man. Yeah, I just got over the keto thing. So now I'm just like, fuck that. I feel like I'm free again. Like I can, you know, have normal food again. That's hard to do, man. That's keto is hard to do. It kind of got to me to the point where now I'm like doing the opposite. I'm just like, I want to eat everything because I've been wanting to eat pizza for so long. Like Catholic school girls. Tell them to stay away from the deck and they can't wait to get ahold of them. 100%. That's what it is. People don't like being told what to do. They don't like being forced into something that they don't enjoy. That's why school is ineffective. That's why so many things don't work. The keto thing, the problem with it is I think it's a healthy thing for a lot of folks. If you have epilepsy, apparently it's the thing because it can stop your seizures. You know, there's people that have epilepsy, they get ketogenic and it just kicks it off. You don't get seizures anymore, but it's boring. Every now and then I want pasta and also fruit. I like fruit. That was the biggest one for me, just fruit, like watermelon. Isn't that great, just having some watermelon in the morning is? Oh my God. It's the most delicious fruit ever, I think. Like a good, perfect watermelon on a hot day. My God, it's amazing. It's a fucked up fruit though because it's the only racist fruit. It's like the only fruit that's attached to racism. There's no other fruit where you can make fun of someone for eating and it's like racist. Have you ever had that durian shit? Yeah, that's what it's good. It's not bad, but God, it smells weird. It smells horrible. It's not horrible. Have you had it, Jamie? It's like they have it in Thailand. In Thailand they love it. I tried it in Thailand. It's like this weird... It's like spiky looking. Yeah, it's spiky on the outside. Then the inside it's kind of mango-like, sort of like a pale mango. It's not my favorite, but I tried it, but God damn, it smells like dog shit. It smells so bad that they ban it in a lot of hotels because people will go into hotels and folks that come from a culture where they eat that stuff all the time, they'll bring bags of it and the whole family's eating that stuff and it wafts down the hallway and people are like, what in the fuck? It says it smells like limburger or it hasn't compared to limburger. Yeah, it's got a weird smell. You can't take it on public transportation in some places either. Wow. Yeah, it stinks. It's weird, but it tastes good. My friend did that fasting diet. You know, the one that everyone's... Not fasting, the one where you only eat like a small part of the day. Yeah, I do that. Yeah. Intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting. He woke up sleepwalking one night and found out on his nest cams, like his security cameras. He goes into the bathroom, passes and like falls down and hits his head and he showed a picture of just blood everywhere in his bathroom, goes back to bed, didn't even know about it, wakes up and he sees blood everywhere, checks his cameras, finally sleepwalking. A couple of days later, he starts having seizures, like out of the blue. He goes to the doctor and the doctor says it's because of that diet he was doing. His brain was starving. That's what that doctor said. That doctor's making shit up. Yeah, you think that? Yeah, that guy needs to go to the neurologist. He's probably got a fucking brain tumor. One thing though I did know is that when I was on keto, I slept walked a lot and I think it was my body trying to find sugar. Really? Yeah, because I never sleepwalk because I have cameras in my living room and... I can't do this on keto. Yeah, I know, it's kind of weird. But when I was on keto, I slept walked maybe 10 times, since I've been off, haven't slept walked once. Can you say slept walk? Is that the right... Slept walk? Sleepwalk. Sleepwalk. When you talk about past tense, is it sleepwalked or sleptwalked? Slept walk. What is it? It's sleepwalk. I've never... I would say sleepwalked. Yeah, it's probably sleepwalked. But I don't think I've ever heard anybody say it past tense. You can't past tense the first part of the compound word. Oh, it's a weird one. It's a weird one. Slept. I slept well last night, but I slept walked. Yeah. I did some sleepwalking. You could say that. Sleepwalking. Yeah, but I think that's kind of interesting. I wonder if it was my body craving sugar so bad that it woke me up because I was like going through the cupboard trying to find sugar. Oh, well that makes sense. Yeah, but I don't remember any of it. How long were you ketoed for? Seven months. Yeah. Eight months. The intermittent fasting is a good move because I think most of the time... Look, for me, I eat when I'm bored. I do it all the time. Like when I come home from the store and I'm riding, I just start eating. And then I'm like, what am I doing? Because I try to do intermittent fasting. So that means if I come home, it's midnight and I'm riding and I start eating. That means I can't eat until two in the afternoon the next day. And then just don't wake up till two in the afternoon. I can't. I got to work. I got stuff to do. I have kids. I have responsibilities. I'm not a Peter Pan like you. Right. No, I think that would be the diet that makes the most sense because I already seem to only eat once a day. It's not healthy though to eat once a day. No, it's not. You should get a nutritionist. You got some cash. You should hire a trainer and get a nutritionist. Yeah. I'm thinking about going back to Weight Watchers. I'm almost at my fattest level. No. I want to get really fat and then do what I always... You said that before. You were on a strategy before. I'm like, you keep saying you're going to lose weight. You're like, I know what I'm doing. I'm going to get really big and then I'm going to lose weight. I'm like, what? Because I always forget to take the before photo and then I'm like halfway through a diet and I'm like, God damn it. Now I'm just... Now I'm normal. Now it's like, oh yeah, but you didn't look that bad before your diet. Right. I got my big fat beard on. Just this beard, it looks like I gained 20 pounds. Yeah, just shave the beard at the end. It's sort of like when people get a tan and they're after photos and they look more ripped. Yeah. 100%. So like the after, you just tan, bro.
