That was the first, first or second 7 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 1: d J Jazz Jeff and the Fresh Prince album. Now 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't need them. Everybody was totally confused as to who 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: was who, so they actually named their album He's the DJ, 10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm the rapper, and like Will Smith is pointing at 11 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: himself and pointing at Jazz Jeff. And then their newest 12 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: album is called He's the movie Star. I'm the one 13 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: who asked you if you want fries with that soda? 14 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: Poor jay Z Jeff. That's so mean. I'll bet he's 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: a like a successful producer. I bet he is totally 16 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,959 Speaker 1: successful and probably way more successful than me. And I'm 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: just a jerk. It's a little late now, I know. 18 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: I thought it would be funny. And I also insulted 19 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: fast food industry workers too. It's like that that one 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: Simpsons where somebody I think was calling Homer a chicken, 21 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: and some giant chicken walks over and goes he's insulting 22 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: the both of us. This show just gave and gave 23 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: and gave for decades. I think DJ Jazzy Jeff, I'm 24 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: looking right now. I think he's still uh a DJ 25 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: record producer and still a DJ called like DJ DJ. Yeah, yeah, 26 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm just mean. Sorry, Jazzy Jeff. You know who's not mean? You? No, 27 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: I'm pretty mean? Okay. Um, A kid named well, I 28 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: don't want to call him a kid. I want to 29 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: call him a kid because he's younger than me. But 30 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: he's a dude now. Yeah, his name is Rob Brian Hart. Yeah, 31 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: not Rob Reiner, No, no, no, no adult Rob Brian Hart. 32 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: Although he had a movie called When Harry Met Soilent. 33 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That was good. And you know what 34 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm ashamed to say, I didn't even see that coming. 35 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: Was so bad. Emily always laughs when I left. She 36 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: always like, you really cracked yourself up, didn't you. Like, 37 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: I'll just be walking down the hall laughing at myself 38 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: and she that's a way to say, Chuck's drunk. Chucks drunk, 39 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 1: and you're not as funny as you think you are. Oh, 40 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: I see what you mean. Yeah, you really crack yourself up. 41 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes you should say, somebody's got to alright, Soilent, this 42 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: is not a paid promotion for soiling Let's go ahead 43 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: and just get that out of the way. No, but 44 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: it's they're they're it's gonna pay off for him big time. Well, 45 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna talk a lot about a specific brand, 46 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: but um, I think it's worthwhile because it is the 47 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: innuine I think it's a genuine revolutionary product in a 48 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: lot of ways. And it's not an endorsement. I'm just 49 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: saying it's really super unique. Yeah, it's not not to 50 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: endorse or whatever, but it's probably the single greatest thing 51 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: humans have ever invented. Have you ever had it? Have I? 52 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: You know? I have not. Actually I wanted to try 53 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: it today. But you can't just go down to the 54 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: corner store and get it. No, you can't. You have 55 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: to order Soilent from their website, soilent dot com or Amazon. 56 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Of course, I didn't know you could get it on Amazon. Yeah, 57 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: they you can get it there. Now, that's good. The 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: prices have come down from so we're working from an 59 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: article we should say from probably two fourteen in tech 60 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: industry years, that's like ten years ago. And this is 61 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: definitely a cornerstone of the tech industry. And what we're 62 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: talking about is, is well a food replacement UM called 63 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: soilent or not a food replacement? Well, yeah, originally it 64 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: was intended to be a food replacement or a meal 65 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: replacement or no, I guess it was originally intended to 66 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: be a food replacement where you could just live off 67 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: of this stuff you didn't need other food. And then 68 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: now it's intended to be a meal replacement where you 69 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: would eat other food, but you could say, have this 70 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: instead for lunch or whatever. Yeah, or you could eat 71 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: it along with your meal. Sure, Like let's just call 72 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: it beige food. Yeah, my liquid state, Yeah, pretty much 73 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: entirely liquid. It's like pancake batters. That what I kept 74 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: running across the consistency, And I mean, doesn't everyone I 75 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: want to drink pancake batter. I've been known to take 76 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: a sip of pancake battery. It sounds really gross. Um, 77 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: we haven't tried it, and I really wanted to, like 78 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: I said, for this, but um, we may or may 79 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: not get Um. Our colleague Jonathan Strickling here. It just 80 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: depends on if we can find him. Uh, he's been 81 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: he was being tattooed by NASA the other day. Oh 82 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: that happened. Huh, not by NASA, but sort of with 83 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: NASA for NASA, under NASA's supervision. Maybe. I mean he 84 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: got a tattoo for work via NASA. Yep. Um. So 85 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen him since then, But if we can 86 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: get him in here, he did the soilent thing for 87 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: a while. Uh, and he loves to talk, so he 88 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: would be good. As a matter of fact, let's just 89 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: add a thirty minute silent part here, but we can 90 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: insert what he'll say after we introduced him. But anyway, 91 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: I did not get to taste it, but it has 92 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: been likened to everything from pancake batter two um, meta 93 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: musel or cream of wheat or a tasteless milkshake. Um, 94 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: although they do have flavors out now, which we'll get to. 95 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: But um. What the original intent of soilent taste wise 96 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 1: was that it was just really just neutral and bland 97 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: for the purposes of we don't want people to get 98 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: sick of eating this. Yeah, and probably the best meat. Yeah, right, 99 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: exactly that if you don't have a taste, you can't 100 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: really get sick of a taste, right, But I disagree. 101 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: I'm sure he could totally get sick of this. Sure, 102 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: but it also is something of a blank slate that 103 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: people can add their own tastes and flavors to, like 104 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: maple syrup or fruit or peanut butter or something. Yeah, 105 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: which I didn't think about. That's a great idea, right, 106 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: So they specifically wanted to create this product for a 107 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: number of reasons. And like I said, that guy who 108 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: I said was nice, he actually is nice. From the 109 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: Broad a New Yorker profile of him, SAME's Rob Brian 110 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: Hart And um, he actually he went to tech. He's 111 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, boy, Yeah, And he was in San Francisco 112 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: working at a tech startup out of his house with 113 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: some of his roommates. And he decided that um, eating 114 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: was taking up way too much of his time and money, time, money, effort. Um. 115 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: It was just something he wasn't very interested in. And 116 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: he also was, um, I think concerned with exactly what 117 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: he was eating. I think he was just basically living 118 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: off a ram And he said, which is not the 119 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: healthiest thing you can possibly eat sure. So he decided 120 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: to take a little time and research nutrition and how 121 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: it relates to human physiology. And he had this idea 122 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: that if you could get rid of the unnecessary parts 123 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: of food, like food is kind of a clunky, inefficient 124 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: vehicle for delivering nutrients. If you could get rid of 125 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: the clunky part and just have the nutrients, you could 126 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: you could live fairly healthily on just the raw materials 127 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: of food that we need from food, right, just the nutrients. Yeah, 128 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: Like I can save money, I can save time, um 129 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: from going to the grocery store and cooking and cleaning, 130 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: and I can get everything I really need to have 131 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: a genuinely healthy diet um right here in this. I mean, 132 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: I guess i'll call it a drink. I mean it 133 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: goes down like a drink, right, Yeah, okay, so we'll 134 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: call it a drink. But it's not to be confused with. 135 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean, there have been all kinds of meal replacement 136 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: drinks over the years, uh, from like insurer to slim 137 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: Fast and muscle milk, Yeah, protein shakes and stuff like that. 138 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: This is not that this is supposed to give you 139 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: everything you need in your body for a meal. Yeah, nutritionally. 140 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: Other meal replacement drinks are meant to be meal replacements, right, 141 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: Like if you couldn't get enough nutrients from your food 142 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: because you're recovering from surgery, you need an extra bit. 143 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: Your doctor may say, like drink and ensure every day whatever. 144 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: Or like you said, protein chakes like muscle milk. If 145 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: you're a weightlifter, you need uh hit a protein after 146 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: you work out, you you will probably drink some sort 147 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: of protein shake afterwards. Right, So there's very specific um 148 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: reasons for the meal replacements or supplements that have been 149 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: invented up to soiling. What's that soiling apart was that 150 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: it was created intentionally to be a replacement for food, 151 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: Like this was all you needed. You never needed to 152 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: eat food again. All you had to do was eat 153 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: soiling every day, every day, and and ingeniously, and I 154 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: don't think he intended to even he was just looking 155 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: for something for himself. He wasn't looking to change the 156 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: food industry or to start a company. I don't think, 157 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: not of a food company. But he very ingeniously started 158 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: a blog against when thirteen called how I Stopped Eating Food, 159 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: which is super grabby on the internet. Title wise, like 160 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: someone's going to see that and go, well, what in 161 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: the world is this all about? And that's what happened. 162 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: It went viral, it blew up. He detailed on there 163 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: that he lost weight. He said his intellectual and athletic 164 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: performance improved. He said he spent a lot less money 165 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: on groceries, but he put he put athletic and scare quotes. 166 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: He's like, if you know what I mean, because he 167 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: did go to tech and he was a software engineer, 168 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: I meant sex. But yeah, yeah, the other way that 169 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: joke worked. He said he spent a lot less money 170 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 1: on groceries and he only spent about five minutes a 171 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: day making this stuff. And he described it as a 172 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: quote sweet succulent, hearty meal in a glass end quote, 173 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: and people were all over it. He said, like after 174 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: a week he would see ads for food and it 175 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: would just be nauseated by him. He any that he 176 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: came to crave um the soiling, which wasn't called soilent 177 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: at that time. No, he did call it soilent. Oh, 178 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: I thought he didn't call it until he like got 179 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: the Kickstarter. Going from what I saw, I actually saw 180 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: that blog post, and I believe he calls it Soilent 181 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: in it. Okay, well whenever he got it, he got it. 182 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: Spoiler alert by the way, upcoming. There was a movie 183 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three called Soilent Green, very famous, uh, 184 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: kind of classic cult classic sci fi movie with Chuck 185 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: Heston and the big reveal and soil it's about this, uh, 186 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: this future world, this dystopian society where um, these people 187 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: are fed these rations and in the end you realize 188 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: that's it's revealed that people are eating other people. Soilent 189 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: Green is people people, right, so um. And for that reason, 190 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: because that was just such a famous ending, Like if 191 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: that actually spoiled the movie for you, like, let us know, 192 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: so Chuck can come hit you with a hammer because 193 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: everybody knows the ending of the twist and Soiling Green. Yeah, 194 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, but he he yeah, I know. 195 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: That was nice of you. See you're not a mean person, 196 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: You're nice. Um. The he he was lobbied by investors, friends, family, 197 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: Everybody's like, you gotta change the name of Soilon. But 198 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: he would explain to him, it's actually not based on 199 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: the movie. He's based it on the book that was 200 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: the source for the movie Soiling Green. The book was 201 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: called Make Room, Make Room, and it was written by 202 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: a guy named Harry Harrison, and it's it was basically 203 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: about overpopulation and in the book that people are fed soilent, 204 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: which is a food made of soy and lentils, And 205 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: that's what he based it on, was that book, not 206 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: the the food being made from people, which apparently the 207 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: makers of the movie used some pretty deep artistic license 208 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: to totally alter it at the end. Yeah, So it 209 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: started out nerdy, and it got nerdier because he was like, 210 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: it's actually a deep cut right exactly from make Room, 211 00:12:54,920 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: Make Room exclamation points. But he he um, he did 212 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,199 Speaker 1: detail in this blog post, and I'm pretty sure he 213 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: did call it soiling in it, and he thinks very clever. 214 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: I think it was a really kind of a funny 215 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: wink to call it that. Sure, but he um. He 216 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: posted the recipe that he went by in a follow 217 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: up post and it's still up there. You can go 218 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: see how to make soilent yourself, And as a matter 219 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: of fact, a lot of people do. There's this um 220 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: subculture of d i y soilent enthusiasts, people who are 221 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: like so into it that they're creating their own blend 222 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: for themselves from scratch self soil enters, yep, soilent preppers. 223 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: So he started that Kickstarter got about three million bucks. 224 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: Uh because people thought it was a cool idea. UM, 225 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: submitted it to the f D A right, yeah, and 226 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: that went whatever, but they classified it interesting instead of 227 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 1: a dietary supplement. They said, now this is a food 228 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: like knock yourself out, NERD go get sued. We don't care. 229 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: And then he got a co packer, Rosa Labs in 230 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: l A and um, they produce it for him still 231 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: and people started eating or drinking this stuff up. Yeah, 232 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean especially other um people who work twenty three 233 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: hours a day um and didn't want to be bothered 234 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: with having to eat because they didn't really care about 235 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: food and or they were like, all I'm eating is 236 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: mac and cheese, Like what what am I doing? Like? 237 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: If I'm gonna care that little about food, then I 238 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: might as well eat something that's healthy that takes even 239 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: less time to make them mac and cheese and just 240 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: the whole um. Uh. The mentality behind soil it really 241 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: like tapped a nerve and that stuff took off like 242 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: very quickly. Um. They started selling like thirty thousand units 243 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: of it a month. I guess packets a month by 244 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen, and it was it debuted. The first 245 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: shipments sold. They're shipped in May of two thousand fourteen, 246 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: so like within seven months they were selling thirty thousand 247 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: units a month. Yeah, it went gold right away. Uh, 248 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: it's like round and round by. We'll take a break 249 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: here and um I'll see if I go find Strickland 250 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. No, no Strickland yet. Oh yeah, 251 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: he has not appeared since the New year. You know, 252 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: he's in Las Vegas right now? Right? Oh was he 253 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: at c E S. Well, that makes sense. I didn't 254 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: read my company blog. Uh yeah I did. Actually I 255 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: did see that on our internal blog, right that we 256 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: all post our daily goings on and last each other 257 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: so silent. Uh. Again, we said that the taste isn't 258 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: the big thing. Um, but they really aim to just say, hey, 259 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: it's convenient, you're gonna save some money. And if you're 260 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: you know, like you said, if you're someone who doesn't 261 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: put so much care into what you're making for yourself, 262 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: like you could like you said, you could eat nothing 263 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: but this, but even the owner said, like you could 264 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: but like, what do you want to food is great? Yeah, 265 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: And they've walked that back tremendously. I think the more invested. Yeah, 266 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: the more they've walked that back. So originally it was 267 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: and he would give interviews and just tell everybody like, yeah, man, 268 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: you can you can just live off of this indefinitely 269 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: if you want. Now they say it's not intended to 270 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: replace every meal, but it can replace any meal. Yeah. 271 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: I think it's a really good I don't know if 272 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: they've if they've tapped into the doomsday prepper segment, but 273 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: like this seems to be the kind of thing that 274 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: somebody could and should have, like in the trunk of 275 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,360 Speaker 1: their car or along with their canned goods and roll 276 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: of masking tape. Yeah, you know, I mean I literally 277 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: when I read this, I was like, you know, I 278 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't mind having a case of this in my trunk. 279 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: Be a disaster, Yeah, pick up check that doesn't work, 280 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: but you never know. I mean, I doubt if I'm 281 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: ever gonna be like lost in the wilderness, but if 282 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: i was, it'd be nice to have food for a week. Yeah, 283 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, for food for a week. I mean, these 284 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: the sealed packets, unopened apparently last for a year. Al right, 285 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: so I'd have to on day three sixty four every year, 286 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: I'd have to drink them and get some new ones. 287 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: You'd have to drink nine months worth of food on 288 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: one day if you're a heck of a New Year's Eve. 289 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: So we are officially on version one point seven. Yeah, 290 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: that as of about two weeks from this recording ago, 291 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: they issued one point seven And as of a couple 292 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: of days ago, they introduced two new flavors um Yeah, 293 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: and that's soilent two point oh. Oh is that official? Yeah, 294 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: that's like um as technically a separate product. It's like 295 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: pre mixed soilent drinks. All they have. They've had those 296 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: in in the natural flavor since the beginning though, Oh 297 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 1: is there right? I thought they just started with powder 298 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: and then came and added the drink, and then now 299 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: they added those two flavors to the drink. I think 300 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: the new flavors are new. They've had the drink for 301 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: a while. And they also now have a bar, a 302 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: soilent bar that's unavailable right now. And about why in 303 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: a little bit, because it's quite interesting. I did not 304 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: know that um do they have the coffee ist is that. Yeah, 305 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: that's out. So that's soilent in a bottle with caffeine. Yeah, 306 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: so that's your morning. Well, I guess whenever you want 307 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: the calf angeled, I would say morning, but you never 308 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: know what your schedule is. That that sounds dangerous because 309 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,239 Speaker 1: I mean, like this is food, right, and people have 310 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: a tendency to pound coffee. You don't want to pound 311 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: the stuff like you'll gain weight. I mean, I guess 312 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: if you're trying to gain weight, sure do it, but 313 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: like this is this is the stuff is engineered to 314 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: be just what you need to sustain you or maintain 315 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: your weight. Or I guess if you wanted to gain weight, 316 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: you just drink more of it pounded, you know, supposedly 317 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: lose a little weight if you go like a soiling 318 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: only for a few weeks. But it's all anecdotal. I 319 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: don't think they make any claims. No, I don't think 320 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: so either. So they're on one point seven now and 321 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: each version supposedly they just you know, they're tweaking the recipe. 322 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: They're listening to people, which sounds like the right thing 323 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: to do, Like it sounds like they're really listening to people, 324 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: and people are saying, oh, it's um, it's too thick, 325 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: Like I don't like one point six, So they'll say, 326 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: all right, a little xanthem gum take that out. Uh. 327 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: They switch the primary source of fatty acids from fish 328 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: oil to algible oil. But now I think the algae 329 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: oils out now right, No, no, so the alga oils in. 330 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: And they actually the reason why they switched out of 331 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: fishal well two reasons. It made it vegan when they 332 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: change from fish oil to algible but they also like 333 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: it it um has far less of an environmental impact 334 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: algae um farming does, but they even took it a 335 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: step further, and they're not using oil from farmed algae. 336 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: They're using oil from bioreactors, which take up even less 337 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: space and use less energy for algible oil production than 338 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: farming does. Right, So they're really like trying to narrow 339 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: the impact environmentally that this stuff has. Yes, And the 340 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: reason why is it is very much linked to our 341 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: artificial sweetener episode. Somebody introduced whole algile flower to the market. 342 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: UM as I think a thickener. I think it also 343 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: is an emulsifier UM, and it just creates a pleasant 344 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: mouth feel. I think um. And it's also somewhat nutritious supposedly, 345 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: but it also can make people violently ill. And so 346 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: all of soilent one point six had to be suspended, 347 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: including the bar. That's why the bar is not available 348 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: any longer. Um because it all contained this whole algile flower. 349 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: They had to basically stop selling it, and then they 350 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: tinkered with it, and that's why one point seven came out. Uh, Well, 351 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: if if you're if you don't know much about soilent 352 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: and you're literally screaming at your at your car radio 353 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: right now or wherever you're listening, but what is it really? 354 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 1: Then tell them what it's mainly derived from. Oh, it 355 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: is soy protein. They replaced the brown rice and the 356 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: oat flour and potato starch, and rice starts with basically 357 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: just soy soy protein, another a couple other carbohydrates, So 358 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: it's mainly soy, just a soy based meal, soy algeil 359 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: oil um, something called um I so malt malte loose. 360 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: It's a which they synthesize from beats. It's a carbohydrate 361 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: but also a bit of a sweetener, canola oil. I 362 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: think they took it. I think they took that out 363 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: and the reason. Okay, so there is rice starching it. 364 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: They definitely took the brown rice, the oat flower, and 365 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: the potato starch out. Because if you go to their website, 366 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: it's so cool. At the very bottom the bottom navigation, 367 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: they'll they'll say release notes, and it will bring up 368 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: PDFs of the notes about what they changed and why. 369 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: UM for every single version of UM soiling, so it'll 370 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: say we took this out because we found that this 371 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: is actually better for the environment, or that this delivers 372 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: the vitamin that we're trying to get better, or UM 373 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: for whole algile flower. They said that they removed it 374 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: to improve customer experience, which means not making you violently. Yeah, 375 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: it's I mean, like I said, it sounds like they're 376 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: they're continually striving to get it right. Yeah, but they're 377 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: also more than that, they're also sharing what they're doing 378 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: because the whole thing was kind of based out of 379 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: that open source tech ethos, and so they've kind of 380 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: maintained that open source thing ever since. They're just very 381 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: transparent as a company. Yeah, looking at the as of 382 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: January third, nutritional facts and one bottle fo calories one 383 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: grams of total fat two grams of saturated fat. And 384 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: this is for the the regular natural, right, so I 385 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: keep calling natural? Is that what they call it? Uh? Original? 386 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: Let's just say non flavored yet original a ridge. How's that? Uh? 387 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 1: Cholesterol nocles are all which they've had from the beginning, 388 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: ugrams of sodium, thirty six grams total carbs, three grams 389 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: dietary fiber, nine grams of total sugars, nine grams of 390 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: added sugars, and then uhs of protein, and a whole 391 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: host of vitamins and minerals. Yeah, and those vitamins and 392 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: minerals are important. That the essential nutrients UM, which are 393 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: nutrients like vitamins and minerals that our bodies need but 394 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: can't make. UM. They apparently went to the n I 395 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: H and the FDA and several other UM groups and said, 396 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, what does the human body need to function 397 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: and thrive? And they that's what they put in there. 398 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: They have this blend of vitamins and nutrients that they 399 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: include as part of the recipe for soilent. One of 400 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: the things that soilents I don't want to I guess 401 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: criticized for, I guess, but more one of the concerns 402 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: that people who are skeptical about it have is that 403 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: it um it doesn't have any non essential nutrients, which 404 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: are nutrients that your body can make itself, like cholesterol 405 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: that has zero cholesterol, but your body can make its 406 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: own cholesterol. And that was a deliberate move on Reinhardt 407 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: and his his UM co founders parts that they decided 408 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: that they didn't need non essential nutrients, that it was 409 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: UM something that our bodies already make and so therefore 410 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: it was UM redundant basically to add this stuff in, 411 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,959 Speaker 1: because this is just the basic bear minimum that you 412 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: need for to to be healthy and thrive. But some 413 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: people are saying, well, these things are also found in 414 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: nature in our food, and we take them in and 415 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: we don't really know enough about nutrition and how it 416 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: affects the human body to say you don't really need 417 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: to take in from the outside any non essential nutrients. 418 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: So people are saying, we're gonna have to see over 419 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: the course of year is what kind of effects this 420 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: has on people UM who are just eating soil, and 421 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: if those people do exist, you know, five ten years 422 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: from now. Yeah, and especially if that's something that you 423 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: kind of touted or not you. But he touted to 424 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: begin with, which is, hey, man, theoretically you could just 425 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: eat only this. Yeah, but I mean he was like this, 426 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: this twenty something dude who had a really great idea, 427 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: and I didn't care about what the investors were saying, 428 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: and and he cared about people's health. He wasn't doing 429 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: it to be like a huckster or snake oil sales 430 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: or anything like that. You know, he was just not 431 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: watching his p's and ques like somebody who was from 432 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: a PR department might ask him to. All right, well, 433 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: let's take another break and I'm gonna We're gonna walk 434 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: to Las Vegas. Get them. I'm gonna see if Strickland's 435 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: up for this. Go get that guy, and I'll be 436 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: right back in about ten days. Hey, and put twenty 437 00:26:50,680 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: on black for me. M alright, good news, bad news. 438 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: I owe you forty dollars man. No wait, no, that's good. Yeah, 439 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: I thought you were paying me back with interest. Bad 440 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: news is I couldn't find Strickland in Vegas. Actually, if 441 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: we can't find Strickland, this is just hot off the 442 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: presses our buddy Joe ran dazz oh yeah, currently uh 443 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,480 Speaker 1: of at midnight Fame he drank soil it for a 444 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: little while, yeah, and asked him. I texted him for 445 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: a description, and this just came in and he said, uh, 446 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: it tasted like the devil's chalk. But some reptilian part 447 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: of me appreciated obtaining sustenance without having to worry about 448 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: flavor or preparation. Basically, space stationed serial killers should like it, 449 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: and no one else. That's our that's our Joe, all right. 450 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 1: So if you want to buy someone, like I said, 451 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: you can get on Amazon. Now. I think it's only 452 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: available in the USA and Canada still though, unless that's changed, 453 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: I did not see that. But what what you can 454 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: do is you can buy the pouches of powder and 455 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 1: mix it where you can buy the bottles um and 456 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: you can get subscriptions that cut a little of the 457 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: price off depending on how much of this you want 458 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: to drink, and that is up to you, as a 459 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: human being to decide how much of this kind of 460 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: nasty stuff. And I've heard our buddy Joe Randazza had 461 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: some of this too, and I tried to get a 462 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: quote from him on what he would describe the taste, 463 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: and he hasn't replied yet, but I've heard some people 464 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: say like, oh, it's really not that bad, and I've 465 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: had heard other people say like it's disgusting and you'd 466 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: really have to choke it down. So I guess there's 467 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: a spectrum. I I mean, I guess I saw a 468 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: couple of quotes like that, But for the most part, 469 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: it seemed like people were surprised by how either neutral 470 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: or strangely yeah, strange, strangely um alluring the taste was. Yeah, 471 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: I didn't heard that. There's this. There's a great New 472 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: Yorker article that profile I mentioned earlier UM called I 473 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: think it's called the End of Food. It's from two 474 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: thousand before team when this was like at the peak 475 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: of its buzz um and Lizzie Wincombe, who wrote the thing, 476 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: try soiling herself and it's weird. I think she actually 477 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: says she starts to crave the taste after a while, 478 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: but then some of her colleagues give these pithy quotes 479 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: about what it actually tastes like, but they weren't actually 480 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: trying it, you know what I mean. She she was 481 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: actually trying to like, subsist on it for a little while. 482 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: She apparently came to like it interesting I'm curious about 483 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: its longevity. Like, when something like this comes out, I 484 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: definitely see the allure of it becoming the rage for 485 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: a while. But and and I think one of them 486 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: we'll talk about what a dietitians think. But um, one 487 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: of the allures of food is is food and sit 488 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: and making it and sitting with friends and the wonderful 489 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: taste that you get any experience you get of breaking 490 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: bread with one another. And this really throws all that 491 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: out the window. Um, you can't romanticize sitting down with 492 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: a soilent shake and your friends, even if they all 493 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: have one on their plate, it's just not the same. 494 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: And nor do nor do they say it is the same. Um. 495 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 1: But it makes me wonder like, once this initial fad 496 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: wears off, what will it become? You know, it's bizarre. 497 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: I just realized something. Well, you were saying that that 498 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: this is the opposite of what we were saying. One 499 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: of the problems with artificial sweeteners is so instead of 500 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: exciting the gustatory response of your reward pathway for meeting food, 501 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: all this does is um create satiation. So you're you're 502 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: full from it, but you're not enjoying tasting it or 503 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: eating it or smelling it or looking at it or 504 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: thinking about it. So it's the exact opposite where artificial 505 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: sweeteners excite that that um, that gustatory sensor um, but 506 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: don't fill you up. This does the exact opposite well, 507 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: And then I wonder what kind of effect that can 508 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: have on your body, Like it does it dull that 509 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: and kill that gustatory response, or does it make it 510 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: so that when you do eat something, it's just like, wow, 511 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: I can't believe the taste of the strawberry, and I 512 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: don't know I um I that I've read about this 513 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: this guy um, his name's Angus Barbieri and he's a 514 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: Scotsman from nineteen sixty six. I think he was in 515 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: his early twenties, and he went three hundred and eighty 516 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: two days without eating a thing. He was under the 517 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: supervision of some mad scientist doctor who was giving him 518 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: like vitamin supplements and monitoring him. But he survived just 519 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: on these vitamin supplements and coffee, tea and water for 520 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: more than a year. And the reason he did it 521 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: was he weighed four hundred and fifty six pounds and 522 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: he was like, I'm tired of it I want to 523 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: get down to one eighty and he did. Um. But 524 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: he on the day he he broke that two day fast, 525 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: he had a boiled egg, I think a piece of 526 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: buttered toast, and I think some coffee, and he said, 527 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: I enjoyed the egg very very much. So I would 528 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: guess that that you if you did eat soiling, if 529 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: you ate like a whole food, you would find it 530 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: pretty rewarding, whereas if you ate like a synthetic food 531 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: like junk food or whatever, you'd probably be like, oh 532 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: my god, this is terrible, you know, but I'll bet 533 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: that strawberry would taste pretty good. Well if you ask 534 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: a dietician. And we didn't do a pole, but um, 535 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: I think this one. Dr joy Do Boast, spokesman for 536 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: the Academy of Nutrition and diet Tetics, Um not tnatics. 537 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: I saw her quotes from this article, but then I 538 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: saw a lot of other ones, and they have kind 539 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: of all been in line, which is basically like, yeah, 540 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: I mean, sure this stuff is okay and you can 541 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: use it to a certain degree, but we don't. There 542 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: just aren't studies like no one's gonna come out, No 543 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: scientists is gonna come out and say yeah, you could 544 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: live on this stuff for a year, because they just 545 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: haven't done these peer reviewed studies and these long term 546 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: risk and benefit analyzes don't exist. So no, no scientists 547 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,160 Speaker 1: is gonna come out like and put their name behind 548 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: it in that kind of way, right exactly. But it's 549 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: like you said, like even if they would, even if 550 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: they were like, you know what, this is, fine, go 551 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: ahead and do it forget food, there's something missing, Like 552 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: there's that communal experience like you were saying, there's that 553 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: the relaxing act of cooking. Um. Like I I understand 554 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: feeling like it's your burdened with it sometimes when you're 555 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: under the gun and you you have to eat, but 556 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: just getting everything ready and cooking it and then cleaning 557 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: up afterwards is it can be a total pain. So 558 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: I understand the sentiment behind it. But I also would 559 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: never replace food entirely ever. Never. Yeah, well of course not, um, 560 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 1: because we're normal people. Um. But the other thing Dr 561 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: Doubos says, which I think is a very huge point, 562 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: is that what they've done is, I mean, there aren't 563 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: a hundred different types of soilent depending on what kind 564 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 1: of person you are. They basically said, this is just 565 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: your basic nutrition for your average person. It's one size 566 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: fits all and nutrition she said, they're making nutrition on 567 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: one size fits all approach. The nutrition just doesn't work 568 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: that way. So depending on your age, your lifestyle, how 569 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: active you are, what kind of like you know, maladies 570 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 1: you have in your life. Um, it's and and again 571 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: they're not claiming to do that. Like all they're claiming 572 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: is to do what it is, which is, Hey, we're 573 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: gonna make this thing. It might be good for some 574 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:16,959 Speaker 1: people to use. Sometimes we'll probably keep you alive. I thought, 575 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: there's so. I also remember I was talking about the 576 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: non essential nutrients that aren't in there, and people are 577 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: wondering what effect that might have. There's also another um 578 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: thing that that's missing that's kind of subtle, but it 579 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: might have an impact. This Japanese study found that it 580 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: seems the art or not the art, but the act 581 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: of chewing has some sort of benefits. So like it 582 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:44,879 Speaker 1: has a stress reduction and um, it also probably controls 583 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 1: the amount of glucose entering your blood by just kind 584 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: of unlocking food slowly by chewing it into smaller and 585 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: smaller pieces. And you don't do that with drinks like soilent. 586 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: You just get hit with it all at once, so 587 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: there's a big flood of your of nutrients into your bloodstream. 588 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 1: And fortunately with that stuff, it's it's good stuff. But um, 589 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: like if if they were saying like, the sugar probably 590 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: has a greater impact on you than the same amount 591 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: of sugar delivered through solid food because it just hits 592 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: you faster and so your your levels increased. Quicker about that. 593 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: Either I'm gonna get some, are you going to? Yeah, 594 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get some and just have it on hand. 595 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 1: And I mean it beats driving to McDonald's If I 596 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: don't have any food. Sure, you know you should hide 597 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: it in the wheel well or your spare tire. Well. 598 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: I do have a pickup truck, so I have no trunk, 599 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Uh, I guess it's underneath. I 600 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: gave away your hiding place. Now my hiding place is 601 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 1: actually behind the rear seat. Oh gotcha. That's a good one. 602 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 1: No one will ever find anything there, and there you 603 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: will find. It's pretty salacious, but you'll find bungee cords 604 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: and jumper cables in John Strickling. Yes, have you got 605 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: anything else? No? Unless we insert Strickland, which would go 606 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 1: right here. But if not, um, we'll just end it. Well, 607 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: let's find out right now. Nope, we didn't. Oh well, um, 608 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: I should probably say chuck. And we probably should have 609 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: said this fairly early on. We have like no um 610 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: uh financial interests in soilent whatsoever? We even backing on Kickstarter, No, 611 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: I got I got no interest other than wanting to 612 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: taste this, uh this junk. Yeah, all right, if you 613 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: want to know more about soilent, type that word into 614 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,919 Speaker 1: the search bar how stuff works dot com. And since 615 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:45,279 Speaker 1: I said search bar, it's time for a listener mail. Uh. 616 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: You know, it wouldn't surprise me if Reinhardt listens to 617 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: the show. Oh well, if he does, what's up, dude? Yeah, 618 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 1: so at the very least we might get a case 619 00:37:52,840 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: of this stuff at the office. Oh boy. And UM, 620 00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna call this, well, I'm gonna call this one 621 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 1: of what maybe several breastfeeding email replies. Uh. First of all, 622 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: we did a show, two parter on feeding babies. First 623 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: part was on breastfeeding, and we were both nervous, and 624 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 1: I have to say it went great, and we've been 625 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,919 Speaker 1: getting great feedback and I'm super proud of these episodes. Yeah, 626 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,800 Speaker 1: they're good. Based on the feedback we've been getting very supportive, 627 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: which makes us feel good. Yeah, we were pretty tense alright, 628 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: So this is one of those Hey guys. Uh. Plus 629 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 1: she has a great name. I know you're worried about 630 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: getting tons of attack emails for doing an episode and breastfeeding, 631 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: but our promises isn't mean smiley face. I listened to 632 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: the episode right after I got home from breastfeeding Glass. 633 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 1: I'm currently pregnant do on February. Uh so, man, this 634 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: is gonna come out probably about a month before that. 635 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: And she does a big scream and anticipation. I took 636 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: a class through my local hospital on breastfeeding to prepare you. Guys. Uh, 637 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: you had really great thing to say about breastfeeding, and 638 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: it pretty much lined up with what the lactation consultant 639 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: running the class had to say. I'm so glad that 640 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 1: you tackled tackle the issue, especially because you are men 641 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 1: um even though I know it scared you. The lactation 642 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 1: consultant said, the biggest barrier to women breastfeeding is not 643 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: having a supportive partner, uh, which I don't get that 644 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: at all. Um. Hopefully with your podcast you read some 645 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: partners out there who will now be more informed and 646 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 1: better able to support the new mother in their lives. 647 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: I hope so too.
