It's remarkable how well it works. Skin is a mouth. Yeah. That's why some of those personal care products are kind of scary. But CBD. Personal care products? Yeah, like personal care products. They have like parabens and phthalates and estrogen, phytoestrogens and endocrine disruptors and stuff like that in them. I mean, they've done studies where guys will like take a shower with the average shampoo that's got like parabens and phthalates and these things that can be endocrine disruptors or phytoestrogens, mimic estrogen in a man's body. And they actually, within a short period of time after taking the shower and using these care products, you can actually detect this stuff in their urine. Like your body's actually soaking this up and absorbing it. There's a very, very interesting book. I interviewed this guy on my podcast. It's called Estrogenation, about how many guys have really high estrogen levels now from primarily their personal care products. Really? Or their household cleaning chemicals. So it's true. That's tough trying to turn you into a bitch. Yeah. It is. More or less. If you go over a guy's house and you see a bunch of sweet smelling shampoos, like what are they doing? That's what always surprised me. Like when I raced for Team Timex, we used to train out at the giant stadium in New Jersey and I go in the locker room there and it's just like this. You'd think that the peak of performance in professional sports would have started looking into by this point, how could you keep testosterone as high as possible on a male athlete's body? But you walk into the bathroom and it's just like every endocrine disruptor known to man just like lined up in a pretty shiny row, they're on the shelf in front of them, you know, the shaving cream and the shampoos and the spray deodorant. Shaving cream is an endocrine disruptor? Yeah. I mean, any, not all shaving cream, but if it's something that has those kind of chemicals in it, absolutely. Have you ever used Dr. Carver's shave butter? That sounds familiar. It's a Dollar Shave Club product. It's the most fucking incredible shaving cream of all time. Like your regular shaving cream, you just won't use it after you try that stuff. I think I've tried that because this probably happens to you. You get lots of personal care products since your studio. Yeah, but that stuff bodes me away. It's like a butter. It's called Dr. Carver's. Yeah. Interesting. I'll get them to say something. I'll have to try it. You'll fucking be blown away by it. I don't have to shave that much so don't have them sitting very much. You don't grow a lot of facial hair? No, I don't grow a lot of facial hair. No.
