Not since my mom was like cooking for 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: me as a kid, have I had a sloppy Joe? 27 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: I've never made one myself. Let me give you a 28 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: little little secret here, sloppy Joe, fish taco, sloppy Josh. 29 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: Is it not yet? We're not out of work yet? Um, 30 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: insert fish taco into sloppy Joe and thank me in 31 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: the morning. Wait, put a fish taco in the sandwich 32 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: itself with the beef and everything. That's the weirdest thing 33 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: I've ever heard of. Just try and let me know 34 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: what you think. Grant key that after you have a 35 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: fish taco sloppy Joe, you will end up with the 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: food craving for it at some point in Yeah, that's 37 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: a great set up, thanks buddy. Food cravings. Food cravings, 38 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about, right. Do you think that's 39 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: what I prepared for Yeah, same here. So chuck, Um, 40 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: you've had a food craving, right, If so, you're part 41 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: of the seventy percent of males in North America who 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: have had one in the last year. I found that 43 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: to be staggering. I thought everyone has had a food 44 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: craving like once a week. Yeah. The stet on women 45 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: was much more. Um, I guess in in my wheelhouse, right, yea, 46 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: but what thirty percent of men don't have a craving 47 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: in a years? Who are like, I'm not answering that question. 48 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: I'm going ercent. You and I both know that everybody 49 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: knows that everybody's had a food craving in the last year. Well, 50 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: that's what I couldn't determine if it was an actual 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: classifiable food craving or just like, oh, I'm hungry for 52 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: a burger. Or maybe they thought that slim gims don't count. 53 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: That's that accounts for slim gyms aren't food, they're slim jims. 54 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: That's a good one. Uh yeah, Josh se say yes, 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: and women all say yes. And women in North America 56 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: and Europe particularly like the sweet stuff. Yeah, I think 57 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: chocolate is the most highly reported UM food craving women 58 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: in North America. We need to specify because it appears 59 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: that um food cravings are also culturally specific. Yeah, so 60 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: women in North America like the chocolate, but say women 61 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: in Egypt like, let's say, a meat stuffed eggplant. That's 62 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: pretty specifically. Christen Conger wrote this and it's a great article. 63 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: But I love that she actually said that they will 64 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: crave a meat stuffed eggplant, which actually sounds kind of good. 65 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: And I'm not even hip on eggplant, but I would 66 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: eat that stuff exactly, wrapping and bacon, stuffing with meat um, 67 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: or put a fish taco on it, I'll leave it. 68 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: Even a milk steak, although I've just recently found out 69 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: what that is. Was that right, I believe? So yeah, 70 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: we haven't gotten any corrections because one from the nineteenth 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: century is still around, they can correct us. So chuck um. Actually, 72 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: food cravings we talked about how they're different in North 73 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: America and in Egypt for example. There there they appear 74 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: to be universal. However, while the food craving may differ, 75 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: or the food that has crave may differ, the food 76 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: craving is is pretty much a universal human trait because 77 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: we all have a brain. Uh, well, let's talk about 78 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: there's two different kinds. There's a stomach craving, which accounts 79 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: for hunger, and then there's a food craving, which we'll 80 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: get to in a minute. It's like all mental, right, 81 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: you have to have a brain. Yes, actually you have 82 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: to have a brain for both. But let's talk about 83 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: like regular old hunger. Like, what is that, dude, That 84 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: is the stomach telling the brain by way of the 85 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: vegas or veggics I think vegas vegas nerve basically saying 86 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: I'm hungry, I need food to live, Sophie. Right, it's 87 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: pretty much as simple as that. It is. Uh. And 88 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: this hormone grilling, which has made an appearance uh incorrectly 89 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: in a previous podcast. I said grilling um tells your 90 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: stomach or tells your brain that you're not hungry any longer, 91 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: actually does the opposite. Yeah, I know, I'm an idiot. 92 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: It's a it's a hormone that is actually um emitted 93 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: by fat tissue, right, and it travels up the vagus 94 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: nerve to the hypothalamus and says, dude, I'm I'm hungry, 95 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: and it triggered. It's triggered when your blood sugar and 96 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: insulin levels start to decline, which is just awesome. I 97 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: love the human body. I think it's like about as 98 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: fascinating as it gets. Yeah, I like the brain in particular, 99 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: and I think articles like this everyone knows how much 100 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: we love the brain and studying the brain. But yeah, 101 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: look for a an audiobook on the brain from Chuck 102 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: and I little spoiler teaser, But it always amazes me 103 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: that the brain is so complex and then the rest 104 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: of the body is almost like just a big dumb, 105 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: functioning group of organs compared to the brain compared to 106 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: the well, yeah, but I mean that's like comparing like 107 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: it together eight Dodge Colt to like, you know, um, 108 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: a Bugatti, A Bugatti, Thank you. I don't know where 109 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: that came from. So okay, So the grilling travels up 110 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: the vagus nerve hits the hypothalamus, which the hypothalamus also 111 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: provides some other um function management like sex, drive, thirst, sleep, sleep, yeah, 112 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 1: things like pretty smart, Yeah exactly. It's like it's the 113 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: party part of the brain, right. Um. So the hypothalamus says, 114 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: all right, we're hungry, and uh, we're going to release 115 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: neuropeptide y and this is just all right. It stimulates 116 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: our appetites, right, um, So what have we eat? Yes, 117 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: we're eating the sloppy joe fish taco combo. And as 118 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: we eat, something else starts to happen because it just 119 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: can't keep on like this, or you would just keep 120 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: eating and eating and eating. So your body has to 121 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: do the reverse almost and say you can stop eating now. 122 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: And it does this by um, in a couple of ways. 123 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: The first things that happens is, uh, fat tissues expel leptin, 124 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: and son of a gun, I am never going to 125 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: get growling. Growling is released from in the stomach. Leptin 126 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: is released in the fat tissues. How did you say? 127 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: I did? I did? I'm just a big dumb animal. Well, 128 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: so hold your emails, folks. We will get this all 129 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: right by the end of this thing. Maybe Okay, hate growing. 130 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: So Lepton gets going and tells our brain basically that hey, 131 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: you're satisfied. You're you're not hungry anymore, you're satiated. You 132 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: do not need to keep eating. Right, But this doesn't 133 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: take place like immediately. No um. And actually, my half 134 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: oconow and girlfriend taught me that the Japanese have a 135 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: little rule of thumb called hara hatchi bo nice funny 136 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: that mean. It means basically, um stop when you feel 137 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: about full, and it works like a charm. Actually, well, 138 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of obese Asian people too, 139 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: and they live forever to Yeah, we should follow that 140 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: that model. So u Lepton actually does this by turning 141 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: down the production of the narrow peptide y and cranking 142 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: up the production of pro opio melanocortin. I was hoping 143 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: you take that one. That was an excellent pronunciation, buddy. 144 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: I had to literally sound it out and spell it 145 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: out very yeah, but it worked. And that is an 146 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: apptite suppressant in the bloodstream. So that basically says, uh mind, 147 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: the hypothalamus monitors the insulin blood sugar, and then everyone's happy, 148 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: we're eating, we're satisfied, we're full. Right, So there there 149 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: you go, we're alive. Right. Yes, So that accounts for 150 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: normal hunger, right, that actually does begin in the stomach. 151 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: Crazy enough, right, that's how you have hunger, and that's 152 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: how your brain tells you that you're not hungry. But 153 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: that doesn't account for food cravings. Food cravings are pretty 154 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: much all mental or at the very least. They're all 155 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: brain centric, right, Yeah, And it's not hey, I need 156 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: to eat and stay alive, it's hey, I really really 157 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: want that sloppy Joe with the fish taco. Well, I 158 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: don't know about that, but that's mine hunger that you're 159 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: talking about, which accounts for the craving, right. And one 160 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: of the reasons, um that it's it's I guess worth 161 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: writing an article about researching and podcasting is that it's 162 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: kind of curious. It's a little bit of a mystery 163 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: because they're not really essential for survival. Uh, there was there. 164 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: I actually thought this for a very long time and 165 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: probably will continue to do so because I don't give 166 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: up my views very easily. Um, but I tended to 167 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: think that food cravings where the body's way of saying, um, 168 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: you need more iron, so you really really want to 169 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: steak right now? Debunked whatever, debonk care. It's a good 170 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: way to live life, and I'm going to live it 171 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, But scientists have largely debunked that, basically 172 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: saying it's really not you're it's not you saying that, oh, 173 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: I need a particular nutrient to keep me healthy. And 174 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: one of the reasons why it was debunked was because 175 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: most food crave things are for really rich fatty foods 176 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: trying calories. And do you know why we crave those, Josh, 177 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: Why because they are loaded with chemicals called opioids. That 178 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: is true. And this is a this is a depressing 179 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: moment for me, by the way, Like I've lived like 180 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: this for years. Uh. Opioids what they do? They bind 181 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: to your receptors in the brain and they bring you 182 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: the like feel good feelings. They do actually, um, the 183 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: the the same processes followed for um, drugs do drugs? 184 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: It actually follows the same um, I guess mental process 185 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: or brain pathway. Excellent, Chuck, thank you. I was flailing there, 186 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: um that that drugs do. Right, Yeah, I thought that 187 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: was interesting. So you've got you've got let's let's just 188 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: use chocolate. It's just so easy. It's a good go to. 189 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: So you you you eat a little chocolate. Let's say 190 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: it's the first time, and uh, the opioids that are released, um, 191 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: actually form part of your memory of eating chocolate. You 192 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: have a sensory memory that is very very pleasant associated 193 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: with eating chocolate. It gets filed away by what part chuck? Uh, 194 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: is that the hippocampus. Yes, it is. Uh, it's a 195 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: short sensory data and puts it into long term more 196 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: short term memory. UM. And when we see chocolate again, 197 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 1: we say, oh, yeah, chocolate, that makes me feel pretty good. Yes. Right, 198 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: So there's there's one aspect of the craving. It's psychological 199 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: based on long term memory. And it also stimulates the 200 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: caught eight nucleus and UM. Basically that helps control the 201 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: dopamine reward system and dopa. Bean is another feel good 202 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: chemical in your body. Right, what's your favorite, like drop 203 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: dead favorite? What would be your last meal you're on 204 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 1: death row? Let's say not a stretch would be if 205 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: you're really thinking about this all that I really like? Um, 206 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: the Porterhouse steak at Kevin Rathbun's, Oh very specific. Have 207 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: you had it? Dude? Awesome? Yeah? Or um there is Uh, 208 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: there's this fried chicken at Watershed. Have you had that? 209 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: I've never had their famous fried chicken. You should go 210 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: Tuesday nights. Tuesday nights and after six if you make reservations. 211 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: They can't guarantee the chicken. I know I've been. They 212 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: can't guarantee it's good. Or no, they can't guarantee it'll 213 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: be there. We can give each some chicken, but it 214 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: might be gonna be pretty crappy. Yeah, I've heard about 215 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: that for years. It's definitely worth it. One of those 216 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: two probably would be my last meal, I think my 217 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: I don't I can't get super specific, but I think 218 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: my favorite last meal would be like a big fried 219 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: seafood platter. Oh yeah, with like fried shrimp, fish and 220 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: clams and scallops and hush puppies and French fries and 221 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: cole saw. Oh man, we should go to Long John 222 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: Silver's after this, Long John Silver's, where the fish and 223 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: the chicken are equally good and tastes much the same. Yeah, 224 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: so do I so chuck um. We've talked about the 225 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: reward system, right, And actually there's a study in two 226 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: thousand and four where people were jammed into the Wonder 227 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: machine and as to think about food. It's actually the 228 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: F m R I, which is the wonder Wonder Machine. No, 229 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: that's the Wonder machine mr an m r I. It's 230 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: it's worthless unless it's got that little F attached to it. 231 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: So they jammed some people in the Wonder machine and 232 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: say think about food, and then the people started thinking 233 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 1: about food, and like you said, the caught a nucleus, 234 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: the insula, and the hippocampus all. So, but it's very 235 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: clear that like our reward system is triggered when we 236 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: think about food. So that's that explains part of food cravings. Uh. 237 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: And we also said that it's linked to the same 238 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: neural pathways as drugs and drug addiction, which also accounts 239 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: for food addiction. Yeah, it's just a milder version. We 240 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: also said that um memories like the sense memory. Remember 241 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: the chocolate chocolate makes me when I eat it, so 242 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: I want to chocolate, right, Yeah, reinforces all that. That's 243 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: part of it too. But um or where did the 244 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: food cravings come from? I guess is my point? Why 245 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: if I am to make one? Josh, you know what? 246 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: You know where the starts? Dude, I know you do. 247 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: It starts in the womb. You pronounced the bee. No, 248 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: I just did that as a joke. It actually does 249 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: happen in the womb. And they found in studies in 250 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: studies that in utero a fetus can distinguish between different 251 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: flavors that are passed to them through the amtiotic fluid 252 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: um and that remarkable. It is remarkable, chuck um. And 253 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: although I'm not entirely certain how they figured that out. UM, 254 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: there have been studies on um post birth children UH 255 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: and their tastes for food, and a lot of it. 256 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: Apparently it comes from uh their time in the womb 257 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: and whatever their mothers eating while they're nursing. Right. Yea. 258 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: They found that UM mothers who eight lots of garlic, 259 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: or who ate a steady diet of garlic, their babies 260 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: nursed longer. I know that crazy um possibly to try 261 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: to figure out what the heck this taste is. Yeah, 262 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: I love that because garlic is tough to miss. It 263 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: comes out everywhere, and I imagine garlicy breast milk would 264 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: throw the baby for a loop to the point where 265 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: they're like, what is this? Oh? I can tell you 266 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: it throws you for a loop? Yea. Uh, God, garlic 267 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: is just the best in anything though, it is and 268 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: really good for you too. Have you ever had a 269 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: whole roasted garlic roasted just squeezed out onto like a 270 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: piece of bread, the whole thing, like the whole bulb. Yeah, dude, 271 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: what you I do it all the time. I cut 272 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: off like half of it and drizzle it with some 273 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: olive oil and take it in some foil. Uh. No, 274 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: I just throw it, throw it on like a oven. Uh, 275 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: like a cookie sheet, wrap it and foil and twist 276 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: the top and just you don't even need the cookie sheet. 277 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: You just throw it in there on the rack and 278 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: it just it goes. It's awesome and great for it. 279 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: Have you ever taken garlic pills? I don't like them. 280 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: I'd rather eat like the garlic bulb. Well I would too, 281 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: but garlic pills are weird because you'll take like a 282 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: garlic pill in the morning because it's good for you, 283 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: and like in the morning, you you feel like you're 284 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: burping up like Italian food and by afternoon's coming out 285 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: of your breasts if you're nursing, yeah, or your skin purse. Yes. Sweat, Yeah, 286 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I mean with my sweat. You don't 287 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: want to be around me on a hot day after 288 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: I've had some Lasagnia Brothers. Not good. Oh, I know 289 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: it's not. I was getting hungry and now I'm revolted 290 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: all of a sudden. Yeah, this just took a real 291 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: nose diet, didn't Yeah. Um, so chuck, you're saying we're 292 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: first exposed to taste in the womb. Um. And also 293 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: apparently we carry these on right, those memories stick around, 294 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: those sensory memories, and that's the beginnings of establishing our 295 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: food relationship basically, and it can also be established by 296 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: the mother. Apparently, studies have shown that, um, I should say. Hey. 297 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: At least one study has shown that women who have 298 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: um more adventurous diets have children who have more adventurous diets. Um. 299 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: I think you could say, well, maybe that has to 300 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: do with the way they're raised, probably, but it it 301 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: could go either way. Yeah. You know another thing I 302 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: thought was cool how you said it was kind of 303 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: like the same thing as a drug addict seeking drugs, 304 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: Just like that you need more and more to satisfy you. 305 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 1: Like so, just like a crackhead might need more crack 306 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: to get high as they progress in their drug career 307 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: or hobby. If you eat chocolate, just that little bit 308 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 1: of chocolate isn't gonna do it. If you keep eating, 309 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna need it more and more to satisfy you. Yeah, 310 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: pretty cool, it is unless you have a chocolate addiction. Yeah, 311 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: that's true, or a crack addiction. Um so, chuck, what 312 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: do you do when you do have a chocolate addiction, 313 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: you eat chocolate, you do um personally No, No, okay, 314 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: I thought you meant me. You know what I'm saying. 315 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: You know you like anybody? Sure, you're not a chocolate addict. 316 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: I know you're hard on yourself, but you're not. No. 317 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: I like chocolate, but it gives me the heartburn too, 318 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: So it's kind of a fine line I have to walk. Um. 319 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Jerry thought that was funny. Laugh. Uh. So they they've 320 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: they've this is something that people have been paying attention to, luckily, 321 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: although they still haven't quite cracked the code. It turns 322 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: out the body is a little wonky when it comes 323 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: to food cravings. Um, when you have a lot of 324 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: fat tissue, this is weird to me. You emit a 325 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: lot of leptin, which is the thing that lowers appetite, right, 326 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: suppresses appetite, But it's in fatty tissue. So the more 327 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 1: fat you have, the more left in you have. So 328 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: that's that should mean strangely, Uh that the fatter you are, 329 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: the less you should eat. Not true, No, it's the opposite. Yeah. 330 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: The for some reason, as the body mass index increases, 331 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: meaning you get heavier and more fat on you. Um, 332 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: you actually eat more, which doesn't seem odd really if 333 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: you think about that, but what you know, you're putting 334 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: out more leptin. Yeah, and it nothing we found, like said, 335 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: why this happens. It's just is it just one of 336 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 1: those things in the human body that we can't account for. 337 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: Do you know another cool thing, Josh? What that if 338 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: you try to diet or quit eating a certain thing, 339 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: like let's say you're a lady and you have like 340 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: a big chocolate thing. The more you if you say 341 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: I want to cut down on eating chocolate, you're gonna 342 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: crave it more. They did a study in two thousand seven. 343 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: If you're trying not to, you're gonna crave it more. Right. 344 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: It's the imp of the perverse. Remember we've talked about 345 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: that the more you try to push a thought from 346 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: your head, the more you're gonna think about it, because 347 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: not only are you thinking about keeping it out of 348 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: your head, it inevitably floods in and you push it out. 349 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: So really, what you're doing is engaging on the cycle 350 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: of um, constantly obsessing about this one thing. Let me 351 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: let me try something here, Josh. Whatever you do for 352 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: the next ten seconds do not think about a sloppy 353 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 1: joe with a fish taco on it? All Right, what's 354 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: the first thing that just popped into your head? You wanna? No? No, 355 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: what is it? Donald Duck? Really? Is that your go to? No? 356 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: That's an odd go to. No, it's not my go to. 357 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: I read an article on it and somebody said, whatever 358 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: you do. Um, you know, for the next sentence, don't 359 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: think about Donald Duck. That was kind of my introduction 360 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: to the imp of the perverse. So that's why I 361 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: thought of Donald Duck. I'll tell you what I didn't 362 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: think of, and I think ten seconds is past. I 363 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: didn't think of a sloppy joe with the fish taco. No, 364 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: I don't believe you. I think you thought of Donald 365 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: Duck eating a sloppy joe without a pint, right, Like 366 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: I never wears pants. Yeah, it didn't even wear a 367 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: diaper or something or was that? Did you know? And no, 368 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 1: he just that was just his duck bottom. Um he 369 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: who was banned in Finland. I think because they didn't 370 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: wear pants or they had to put pants on the 371 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: one they two. That's good stuff, Josh. I think people 372 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: are learning a lot here. I think we have gotten 373 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: really far off topic, I think, so, so should we 374 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: reel it in here? Yeah? Um, if you have a 375 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: food addiction and you have food cravings, people who didn't 376 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: deny themselves every food craving managed to lose the most weights. Yeah, 377 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: they said. The trick is to get into it occasionally 378 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: to reward yourself, but to just keep that all in check, right, 379 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: and how it works. And you're big on the calorie restriction, 380 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: So what do you think about that? Um? I've found 381 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: that just not eating I don't eat breakfast or lunch, 382 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: to just eat dinner. Um. And I found that after 383 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: probably a week or two of really just doing it hardcore, 384 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: you just don't even think about it any longer if 385 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: I stop and think about it, Like right now, I'm 386 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: hungry because I stopped and thought about it, but I 387 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: don't think about it. I think you know what I'm 388 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: hungry for, chucky sloppy chat with a fish taco. That's right. Uh? 389 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: Should we talk about weird food cravings? Yeah, like ladies 390 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: when they're pregnant. Yes, which I was interested to read 391 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: about this actually because I've always wondered, like, what gets 392 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: somebody who say never like cheese before to suddenly like 393 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: cheese once she becomes pregnant or something. Right. Um, well, 394 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: it has a lot to do with the hormone that 395 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: are going berzerko when you get pregnant, right, especially estrogen. Yeah, 396 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: and it also has to do with their sense of 397 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: taste and smell really become honed when they're pregnant, So 398 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: something like um, maybe really pungent like coffee and cigarettes 399 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: is even more of a turn off than usual, which 400 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: is probably a good thing if you're pregnant, right, don't 401 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: you think. Yeah, I think coffee and cigarettes is probably 402 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: bad for pregnant person. Pregnant woman, and the cravings focus 403 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: on like really sweet and really salty, really spicy. It's 404 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: kind of the extreme, it seems like, right, so chuck. Um, Yes, 405 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: pregnant women have strange food cravings pickles and ice cream whatever. Yeah, 406 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: it is, and science has hasn't really figured out exactly why. 407 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: But yes, it probably does have to do with the 408 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: hormonal search. Um there is. I used to work in 409 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: a gas station up in Athens, and people yes too, 410 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: which one. Well, I worked at the Golden Pantry, so 411 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: I didn't like pump gas, but I worked in that 412 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: little food mark. I didn't punk same here. I worked 413 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: at the Magnolia station on Atlanta. It's pretty funny. Yeah, 414 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 1: both gas guys who knew um and uh, we sell 415 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: white dirt and people came in and bought it by 416 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: the bag full. I don't know what that means. It's 417 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: white clay and they would eat it really, yes, is 418 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: that what you sold it for to consume? Yes, I 419 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: don't even know what you're talking about. It's really weird. 420 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: People chew it and eat it and ingest it and um, 421 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: actually it was a real big hit among pregnant women too. Well, 422 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: I do know what you're talking about. What it's called pica, Yes, 423 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: and specifically in this case, eating dirt of any kind 424 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: is called geophagia, right, And there's also one called patophagia, 425 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: which is eating ice, yeah, which I've heard of it before. Um. 426 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: Apparently people who have iron deficiencies in amia um eat 427 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: ice a lot. But you're not getting any iron for 428 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: the ice or from the ice, but they think that possibly, Um, 429 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: there's apparently, um discomfort in the tongue when you have 430 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: an iron deficiency, and the ice alleviates that, which is 431 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: why they crave. That makes sense, isn't that weird. Yeah, well, Pike, 432 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: just specifically, I guess we should say, is craving a 433 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: or ingesting a non food item, or guess just the craving, 434 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: and then if you act on it, then you're you're 435 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: carrying out the craving, right. And actually, if you have 436 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: a weird food craving, you should actually probably see a 437 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: physician because it could mean like an iron deficiency or 438 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: some other problem with your your body, right, unless you're pregnant. 439 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: Don't be alarmed if you're pregnant and you want to 440 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: eat some dirt, because that's actually kind of common about 441 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: women actually feel this this way. Ice. And the other 442 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: thing that I thought was weird was this geofagea you 443 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: were talking about is more common here in the South. Yeah, 444 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: oh yeah. You don't find too many people who eat 445 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: white clay up north? Why not? I don't think there 446 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: is white clay available up north. It's weird. Well, that's 447 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: food cravings in a nutshell, in a huge nutshell on 448 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: a man, which bun. Yeah.

You take a sloppy Joe and you take 452 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: like just the corn tortilla fish taco. That's that's open 453 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: face and just put that on top and face it's 454 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: a taco. Man. Well, it's not a taco until you 455 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: hold it and roll it up right. You've put it 456 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: in full and rolled up, half over, doubled over, and 457 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: then put the bunt of the sloppy Joe on top 458 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: and go to town with the meat and everything. Yes, 459 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: just that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard. That's pike 460 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: a esque.

I'm just gonna 467 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: call this, uh, Henry Hill exposed. Remember we did our 468 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: podcast recently on the Witness Protection Program. We talked about 469 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: famous gangster Henry Hill basis of the film Goodfellas and 470 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: My Blue Heaven. In My Blue Heaven, and we had 471 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: a guy right in that has met Henry Hill and 472 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: here's what he has to say. And I think he's 473 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: from England because of all the weird things he said. 474 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: He say, cheers at the bottom. Yeah, of course I've 475 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: met Henry Hill and ex entrepreneur and that's in quotes. 476 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what that's supposed to mean. And myself 477 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: brought him over to England to do an after dinner 478 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: gentleman's evening type speech. I don't know what that is either. Uh. 479 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: He was also on the local TV promoting a book. 480 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: I think he was an absolute nightmare. He decided that 481 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: the Witness Protection program was not for him, probably because 482 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: he'd been kicked out of it a half a dozen times, 483 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: and he was going to travel far and wide to 484 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: help kids from a life of crime, not noble. The 485 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: problem was when you have a world famous gangster doing 486 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: an after dinner speech, the paying guests don't want to 487 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: hear him telling them stay out of trouble and behaved. 488 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: They want to hear him talk about Jimmy the gent 489 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: and the lift Anza heist. Naturally, his minder was his 490 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: UK agent and it was the first time they had 491 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: ever met in person. We had a v I P 492 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: dinner uh drink afterward with a special drink and a 493 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: posh club in Liverpool, and Henry decided he kept to 494 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: keep wandering off trying to chat up the girls. Sadly, 495 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: he'd also have been a little too keen on this 496 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: imported product. He could hardly string two words together, so 497 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: it sounds like he got bombed and was hitten on checks. 498 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: That's the American translation teen keen. Uh. Still for someone 499 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: who's killed as many people as he has, he was 500 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: a nice bloke and despite this sounding wrong, an example 501 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: of the maxim that you should never meet your heroes. 502 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 1: Not that he was my hero, but I couldn't think 503 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,239 Speaker 1: of another way to put it. Uh. Lastly, he had 504 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: to take him to dinner in a cab and we 505 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: did a quick tour of the Yellow Submarine, the Cavern 506 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: Club and other famous Beetles landmarks, and he said that 507 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: he would like to sing on stage at the Cavern Club. 508 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: And when I chuckled, thinking he was joking, guess what 509 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: he did the you think I'm funny gag. He did 510 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: that to him and he said it was the scariest 511 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: thing you'd ever seen. Cheers, chaps, Jazz. Just in case 512 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: we weren't sure he was from England. Cheers Chaps, Chaps 513 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: from Jazz cheers to you, Jazz, thank you for that story. 514 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. Actually, it kind of went back and forth, 515 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: like I would have not liked to have hung out 516 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: with Henry Hill. I would love to have hung out 517 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 1: with Henry Hill. That happened like five times. Sure, I 518 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: feel like I'm about to vomit.
