Speaker 1: This is The EDS with Eddie Judge and Edwin Aroyavi
Speaker 1: the Husbands Know Best two Teas production. All right, we
Speaker 1: are back for episode fourteen with the EDS podcast.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: This is going to be an episode with a topic
Speaker 1: which men don't talk about often, and that is self
Speaker 1: care and beauty. It's sort of like the secrets behind
Speaker 1: the mirror for guys. You know, from routines to cosmetic procedures,
Speaker 1: regimens and fashion. We know women do it all the
Speaker 1: time and are real critical about what they look like
Speaker 1: and feel like and where. But what about us men?
Speaker 1: You know, how do we handle beauty and self care
Speaker 1: in this day and age. Let's get into it. What
Speaker 1: do you think? How do we do it? Well?
Speaker 2: I can tell you I think for me, I used
Speaker 2: to care about it when I was younger, Like it
Speaker 2: felt like fashion was a little more more important, like
Speaker 2: twenty years ago. Like now I just feel it's like
Speaker 2: everybody's wearing T shirts and stuff and h just T
Speaker 2: shirts and jeans, and it's so much easier to get
Speaker 2: dressed now, right whereas before, like you had to dress
Speaker 2: up a little more like now, you know, just with
Speaker 2: the whole athletic wear and everything. Yeah, it feels like
Speaker 2: you don't have to dress up as much. And I
Speaker 2: think a part of that is maybe that a lot
Speaker 2: of people are working from home and stuff.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, do you remember during the tech rise that
Speaker 1: all these tech companies started wearing short of I mean
Speaker 1: they do it now, they wear pajamas, but they were
Speaker 1: wearing short of pajamas to work and you didn't have
Speaker 1: to wear a suit anymore. And I was in a
Speaker 1: professional space at that time in the law firm, and
Speaker 1: I was proud to wear a suit to work. It
Speaker 1: made me feel really good and important. But it was
Speaker 1: weird to see all these professional tech guys walking in
Speaker 1: their jeans and T shirts and you know, loafers to
Speaker 1: go to work.
Speaker 2: But yeah, definitely, I think feeling good is important, that
Speaker 2: is for sure. So whatever makes you feel good, I
Speaker 2: think it is important. So you like, sometimes even where
Speaker 2: I'm gonna work from home, I'll get dressed up as
Speaker 2: if I'm going to work, so I could just feel
Speaker 2: like I'm at work right versus just being in like
Speaker 2: shorts and sandals, and it just mentally gets me in
Speaker 2: the right mindset.
Speaker 1: I agree, one hundred percent. Before we get any further,
Speaker 1: I want to know because Here's what I know about you, Edwin.
Speaker 1: You do take care of yourself. You do exercise, you
Speaker 1: do eat healthy, and you are about good mental health
Speaker 1: and good emotional health. And you really are doing a
Speaker 1: lot of self care.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: I've also learned that you really dress well. You know,
Speaker 1: there's certain labels that you wear. I guess a lot
Speaker 1: of hair stuff products and skin care products and all that.
Speaker 1: When did that self consciousness of looking good and taking
Speaker 1: care of myself start for you? Do you remember?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think after high school, like I want to
Speaker 2: just work out. I wanted to look good, I think
Speaker 2: fitness wise. At first, I think it was more for
Speaker 2: vanity reasons. Is for women. I wanted to I wanted
Speaker 2: women to be attracted to me. So I figured, okay,
Speaker 2: well let's work out, right. I think now it's more
Speaker 2: it brings me. It just relaxes me, like it's part
Speaker 2: of my mental health. Like I run because it helps
Speaker 2: me with anxiety. It helps me with you know, taking
Speaker 2: on things during the day that could be stressful. You know.
Speaker 2: I get that runners high after when I run. So
Speaker 2: now it's more for it keeps me, you know, sane,
Speaker 2: And I think, yeah, like I think at the beginning
Speaker 2: with with even with fashion, it was it was always
Speaker 2: for women.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: As you get older, you know, not not as much, right,
Speaker 2: but you know, I still like to I still like
Speaker 2: to feel like like like, I still like to feel good, right,
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I think, I mean, yeah, what
Speaker 2: about what about you? What's the insecurity that you have
Speaker 2: maybe of something looks wise, I guess, or beauty.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm I'm you know, in my fifties, I'm becoming
Speaker 1: that old guy living care.
Speaker 2: I can't even believe you said fifty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fifty one years old and good for that age.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Physically, thank you. Physically, I feel like I've done pretty
Speaker 1: good throughout my entire life of self care. Emotionally I've
Speaker 1: done pretty well as well. And confidence wise, you know
Speaker 1: I did. We do these things because we want to
Speaker 1: build our confidence since we were young. The very first
Speaker 1: time I remember considering my self care distinctively was when
Speaker 1: I went transitioned from seventh grade to eighth grade. In
Speaker 1: seventh grade, I was just a nerdy, you know, playful
Speaker 1: kind of kid, just running around playing with dogs, playing
Speaker 1: with people. Didn't care what I wore, didn't care about
Speaker 1: how I looked, and nothing the minute I went into
Speaker 1: eighth grade, I started changing the hair, having a hairstyle,
Speaker 1: changing the way I looked. In fact, I remember for
Speaker 1: my eighth grade graduation, I wore a white Miami Vice
Speaker 1: suit for my graduation because I thought I was cool
Speaker 1: and I had this big, old quoth you know, hairstyle
Speaker 1: to the side. And that was the beginning of my
Speaker 1: self care and self consciousness of I got to look good,
Speaker 1: you know, because otherwise girls aren't going to like me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And naturally that's when it started for me, and I
Speaker 1: started getting a lot of attention. And I think sports
Speaker 1: in high school was what gave me the confidence for
Speaker 1: self awareness, like I'm fit, I'm fast, I'm you know,
Speaker 1: in control of what I'm physically doing to myself. And
Speaker 1: it wasn't until I graduated high school that I started
Speaker 1: doing weightlifting, and leading up to that, you know, it
Speaker 1: was trying to figure out what kind of hairstyle I want,
Speaker 1: what kind of outfits I want, what kind of car
Speaker 1: I want to drive, what you know, persona I want
Speaker 1: to build. So my point is is it evolved tremendously
Speaker 1: from when I first started taking care of myself too.
Speaker 1: Like you said, Vanity, purposes. I lifted weight to vanity purpose,
Speaker 1: but also for confidence.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I was a skinny little guy, fast runner because I
Speaker 1: had some really strong legs and absolutely no upper body muscle.
Speaker 1: And when I gained that and had the muscle, had
Speaker 1: the confidence, it changed everything. And people naturally respect you
Speaker 1: because you're fit, because you you're fast, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, physical activity you're doing, and it just helped
Speaker 1: me realize I might be doing something right here, you know,
Speaker 1: and I just kept doing it. I just that's what
Speaker 1: kept me in the fitness industry and the fitness world
Speaker 1: all my life. I've always had a fitness class or
Speaker 1: one foot in the fitness industry while I was doing
Speaker 1: you know, all this business entrepreneur business building companies and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So it was just always a part
Speaker 1: of me, and I think it was the biggest part
Speaker 1: of me because that's where I got most of my
Speaker 1: self confidence growing up in sports, as you know, you
Speaker 1: have that competitiveness in you, and when you don't have
Speaker 1: that after high school, you kind of have a void
Speaker 1: that you have to fill. So the way I filled it,
Speaker 1: you know, was racing bicycles or you know, doing you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know mostly racing bicycles was my thing until
Speaker 1: I discovered Spartan in my older age. But I always
Speaker 1: wanted to have some sort of competitiveness in my life
Speaker 1: because it it That's how I thrived, that's how I
Speaker 1: felt good about myself. Never really got into bodybuilding company
Speaker 1: Tissies because when I found out the way that they
Speaker 1: get to those big muscles is you got to take steroids.
Speaker 1: And because I was afraid of needles, I said, nah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to go that route. And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of negativity, not negativity, but side effects. Talks about
Speaker 1: taking steroids like you know that. You know, some kids
Speaker 1: say shit like, oh, your penis gets smaller. I don't
Speaker 1: want a small penis, ne do I? But you know,
Speaker 1: stuff like that was said. But the real reason was
Speaker 1: I was afraid of needles. I want to put a
Speaker 1: needle in me.
Speaker 2: You know what's interesting about confidence. I remember being eighteen
Speaker 2: nineteen and even during high school, like I had before
Speaker 2: I went out, I had to get a haircut and
Speaker 2: it had to be like a zero, right, so like
Speaker 2: a buzz and if I was clean shaven, and I
Speaker 2: would wear these jeans and a white collared shirt. Never failed.
Speaker 2: I would always pick up on chicks if I had
Speaker 2: that outfit, right, but I had to have the haircut.
Speaker 2: And if I didn't have the haircut, let's just say
Speaker 2: I couldn't make it. I'd have like the worst luck
Speaker 2: that night, like no action whatsoever. And as I think
Speaker 2: back at as I think back on it, it was
Speaker 2: all confidence. Like I didn't look that much different just
Speaker 2: because I gave myself a buzz a zero cut on
Speaker 2: the sides. But in my head, that's what was going
Speaker 2: to make me successful that night. So there is something
Speaker 2: to say about confidence and what it can do for
Speaker 2: you and how much I guess women just want a
Speaker 2: confident Matt at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: Well, interestingly enough, I think it's your surroundings that influenced
Speaker 1: your desire to do self care. And, for lack of
Speaker 1: better description, beauty, you know it just beauty and guys
Speaker 1: just don't go together. For me. It's just don't call
Speaker 1: me beautiful, handsome. I'll take hands them all they but
Speaker 1: don't call me pretty or beautiful. Just doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: But let's say I lived on a farm, and I
Speaker 1: grew up on a farm. The last thing going to
Speaker 1: think about is waxing my eyebrows, or wax in my
Speaker 1: nose or even shaving my face. You know, I'm going
Speaker 1: to be shoveling cowshit everywhere. Why would I want to
Speaker 1: get all, you know, clean shaven and deorderized and hair
Speaker 1: style to go shovel shit? Right? So, I think it's
Speaker 1: your surroundings growing up in Orange County. My understanding of
Speaker 1: Orange Counties, Florida. They're the mecca of fitness. Southern California
Speaker 1: is the mecca of fitness and beauty, and the majority
Speaker 1: of the people here exercise mostly for vanity. But I
Speaker 1: think it's shifting into more for longevity and good health.
Speaker 1: But I think if I didn't live in Orange County,
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't worry about waxing my eyebrows, because that's
Speaker 1: one thing I used to do a lot, and I
Speaker 1: just went recently because I started looking like a Neanderthal.
Speaker 1: So I will wax my eyebrows. I do like waxing
Speaker 1: my nose hairs because I just don't, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't like having a big old bullshel in my nose.
Speaker 1: And again, some of the things I just take.
Speaker 2: And Teddy hates it because I'll literally just go like
Speaker 2: this and pull it out and she hates it. She
Speaker 2: hates when I do that.
Speaker 1: That's when you know you need to go get a wax.
Speaker 2: Right now, when you know you got to go get
Speaker 2: a wax.
Speaker 1: And then more recently, I started noticing, and I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's just because of my self consciousness when
Speaker 1: I you know, I have been waxing my ears as well.
Speaker 1: I started noticing hair growing in my ears. And and
Speaker 1: it happens as you get older, right, yes, the same ship.
Speaker 2: Now. I didn't have hair coming out of my ears before,
Speaker 2: but now in my age, I'm starting to see like
Speaker 2: hair coming out of places that I I wasn't expecting
Speaker 2: hair to be coming out of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I have you know, some of my dirt
Speaker 1: bike friends that you know, they don't care about, you know,
Speaker 1: their love. You know, it's a whole different group of
Speaker 1: guys that I hang out with, and they got a
Speaker 1: big old bushel in their ear. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: should I tell them? Should I not say anything? You know,
Speaker 1: but it's to each and their own.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I could justify it and say I pull my hairs
Speaker 1: in my nose because I want to breathe better. I
Speaker 1: pull the hairs in my ears because I want to
Speaker 1: hear better. Well, why do you watch your eyebrows because
Speaker 1: I want to look better? I don't know.
Speaker 2: By the way, when I was thirty, I had a
Speaker 2: friend of mine that was like, why don't you shave
Speaker 2: your legs? Like, because you know, he's like, you got
Speaker 2: hairy legs. Why don't you to your environment right? And
Speaker 2: he's like, you gotta shave your legs right. So, like
Speaker 2: a dumb ass, I was like, Okay, maybe I should
Speaker 2: shave my legs, but I don't want to shave. Let's
Speaker 2: just get it out of the way and go get laser.
Speaker 2: Holy shit, I've never gone through something more painful in
Speaker 2: my life like that shit was so painful. And then
Speaker 2: of course I have to tell Teddy why I did that,
Speaker 2: And I made up the stink because I was cycling
Speaker 2: at the time. That apparently when you when you're swimmer
Speaker 2: or cyclists, you have to shave your legs because you
Speaker 2: get faster. I guess you do. That's so that's what
Speaker 2: I went with, But that wasn't really the reason I
Speaker 2: did it. I wanted my legs supposedly to look good,
Speaker 2: but man, that shit was so painful. I went to
Speaker 2: three treatments. I was out, and then the hair grew
Speaker 2: back to top it off, like I still have my
Speaker 2: hairy legs. I thought I would go away forever, which
Speaker 2: is why I went through it. But holy shit, that
Speaker 2: was painful.
Speaker 1: A beauty is painful, bro. And I've only heard about
Speaker 1: getting your legs electrolysis. I think it's called where they
Speaker 1: zap your hair. I heard how painful that is, and
Speaker 1: I would never do it. I wouldn't even do wax
Speaker 1: on my legs. When I first started shaving my legs,
Speaker 1: it was for the same exact reason. It was for
Speaker 1: cycling purposes. Everybody talked about it like like you said,
Speaker 1: and I struggled with it in this because I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's not a manly thing to do, shaving your legs,
Speaker 1: you know. So I made myself a promise, and I
Speaker 1: was racing road bikes at the time. I said, if
Speaker 1: I can win three races in my in my category,
Speaker 1: I will shave my legs. Sure Enough, I won three
Speaker 1: races in a row and I had to go and
Speaker 1: shave my legs and it was really hard. It was
Speaker 1: really hard the very first time. I just had to
Speaker 1: get past that you actually shaved no I shaved, I
Speaker 1: got the shaving cream and the and the razor, and
Speaker 1: afterwards I got to be honest, I loved the way
Speaker 1: my legs felt. They were so smooth and so like
Speaker 1: comfortable and and you know, it didn't feel terrible. So
Speaker 1: I was hooked and I kept shaving him as long
Speaker 1: as I rode and until recently because I haven't When
Speaker 1: I started racing Spartan, I stopped cycling and racing road bikes,
Speaker 1: so I had no reason to shave my legs. And
Speaker 1: I'm not a hairy guy generally. I think part of
Speaker 1: somebody has said before that it's because you're a part Indian.
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of hair. But I still
Speaker 1: prefer to shave my legs and I just have to
Speaker 1: have a reason for it. And recently I told myself,
Speaker 1: if you can ride, get back on the bike and
Speaker 1: start riding again, then you can shave your legs. So
Speaker 1: it's just one of those things like you gotta have
Speaker 1: a reason.
Speaker 2: Right, Is sex a reason to shave?
Speaker 1: No? No, I mean the private parts. Yes, I do
Speaker 1: keep my private parts clean.
Speaker 2: I feel like it looks bigger when it's clean, right.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think so, I you know, I frequently talked
Speaker 1: about that, what do you think? And the only reason
Speaker 1: I don't shave my face is because for years I
Speaker 1: used to shave my face to go to work, and
Speaker 1: I hated it, and sometimes i'd get, you know, the
Speaker 1: bumps on my face and it just sucked. And it
Speaker 1: wasn't until I left the professional legal world that I said,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sure even anymore. Plus, my wife
Speaker 1: likes the hair on my face, so and now I
Speaker 1: just trim it and keep it clean. But even then,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I forget and I go two months
Speaker 1: without even looking at it, and I have this big
Speaker 1: old beard and hair coming out of my nose, hair
Speaker 1: coming to my ears, and my hair's all over the place.
Speaker 1: And it's not pretty nowadays because when my hair grows long,
Speaker 1: it shows the gray. It's like whoa. But honestly, I
Speaker 1: would never color my hair. I know there's some guys,
Speaker 1: would you color your hair?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Color I dye my hair. Yes, I've actually been
Speaker 2: dying it probably forty one. I'm pretty gray. Yeah. I
Speaker 2: can't get used to the gray hair, though I've tried,
Speaker 2: like I've done the gray thing for a while, and
Speaker 2: I don't. I can't get used to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, like my wife says, I love you with
Speaker 2: gray hair, I'm just not there yet. It's gotta yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's got to happen. I don't feel it yet now,
Speaker 2: like my beard when it's all white, if I let
Speaker 2: it grow, it's all white, I don't mind. I like
Speaker 2: my white dud. My gray hair, yeah, not with it
Speaker 2: just yet. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was afraid to start doing my hair when I
Speaker 1: started getting gray because I didn't want to maintain it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's because it's one of those things once
Speaker 1: you start and you're fighting eight for example, and next
Speaker 1: thing you know, you're six years old and you're still
Speaker 1: coloring your hair, and it just doesn't make sense because
Speaker 1: even over sixty, your skin looks aged and your hair
Speaker 1: looks twenty. You know, it just doesn't it make sense.
Speaker 1: Another thing also is actors I've admired, like some actors
Speaker 1: that have that sophisticated uh you know, I think they
Speaker 1: call it fox gray fox hair or something like that.
Speaker 1: Gray fox.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I've seen some afrofs that I look up to silverfox, yeah,
Speaker 1: and they look good and then you know, they portrayed
Speaker 1: really well and mature and sophisticated and wise, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with being that guy. Now, I'll be the
Speaker 1: wise guy, I'll be sophisticated, I'll be you know, I'm
Speaker 1: okay with the gray hair now because there's nothing I
Speaker 1: can do about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my kids don't like the gray hair. Whenever I'm great, dad,
Speaker 2: can you get rid of the grays? Teddy loves it,
Speaker 2: not the kids. You know what I just realized. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell you a fun story that I just remembered
Speaker 2: so and it's funny because it's happened to me twice
Speaker 2: in my life where I was excited about, like an
Speaker 2: event where I was gonna go take pictures. Okay, the
Speaker 2: first one was my prom, right, I was. I was
Speaker 2: in the royal court and you know, going for prom
Speaker 2: king and all that, and I went out of my
Speaker 2: way to feel good and look good.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So my buddy at the time, at the time, there
Speaker 2: was this whole thing of guys kind of doing their
Speaker 2: eyebrows and they called it pretty boys and stuff, and
Speaker 2: like women just liked it like it was a weird time. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So my buddy had like these great eyebrows that were
Speaker 2: sort of arched, and I said to him, hey, can
Speaker 2: you do eyebrows like yours like? And he's like, sure,
Speaker 2: it is one of my best friends. Well, this dude
Speaker 2: does them, and by the time he's done with them,
Speaker 2: I look like a drag queen. My eyebrows they're so thin.
Speaker 2: I got to show you a picture. Next time I
Speaker 2: see you, I send it to you. They're like the
Speaker 2: thinnest eyebrows you could have seen. So you see me
Speaker 2: in the Royal Court, and what was supposed to be
Speaker 2: a picture that I'd always remember forever is like the
Speaker 2: one of the worst pictures I've ever taken. And I
Speaker 2: look like a drag queen, right, And then it happens
Speaker 2: to me twenty five years later or twenty some years
Speaker 2: later whatever. It was at our premiere for Real Housewives
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills, the first year we came out.
Speaker 1: So that happened.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm like, man, coming out, it's carpet, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: look good. And I straightened my hair because I wanted
Speaker 2: my hair to look a certain way, which I but
Speaker 2: it was so straight it looked just whacked.
Speaker 1: Oh wow.
Speaker 2: But then I got a facial and I did something
Speaker 2: else to my face, like right next to it, like
Speaker 2: you know, like it was a facial and like one
Speaker 2: of those zap things. Anyways, all I know, yeah, is
Speaker 2: my face was like a it was reddish and it
Speaker 2: was it felt like as if it felt dry as
Speaker 2: could be. Like I think I've never felt my face
Speaker 2: more dry in my life. Yeah. Anyway, I do the
Speaker 2: Red Carpet and it's like the worst picture that I've
Speaker 2: ever taken in my life, even worse than the problem
Speaker 2: when I had and I still hate when I go
Speaker 2: and google my name. It's still one of the pictures
Speaker 2: that comes out. Yeah, and now I'm stuck for that
Speaker 2: just for batity reasons because I wanted to come out
Speaker 2: good in a magazine at the times, I figured it
Speaker 2: was probably going to come out on somewhere, so I
Speaker 2: wanted to look good, like, hey, premiere, this is the
Speaker 2: new husband and worst picture take ever. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So anyway, so let me let me talk about this
Speaker 1: next because I think it's it's important to decipher there's
Speaker 1: two ways that we get ready. I think one is
Speaker 1: getting up in the morning a regular routine and we
Speaker 1: go on our day, and then there's days where we
Speaker 1: have an event to get ready for a red carpet event,
Speaker 1: like you just said, right, so I want to know
Speaker 1: a little bit about your routine when you get up
Speaker 1: in the morning. And this is un like you. I
Speaker 1: like to work out in the morning. So I get
Speaker 1: up and I have my coffee, and I go to
Speaker 1: the gym and I get that done. And then if
Speaker 1: I I'm ready for my day, I'll take a shower.
Speaker 1: And if i'm whether I'm working at home or i'm
Speaker 1: you know, running around with meetings, I'll do my hair
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So let's talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about our daily routines and then the difference between our
Speaker 1: daily routines and our red carpet routines. Okay, so in
Speaker 1: the morning, I get up, I brush my teeth. That's
Speaker 1: probably the first thing I like to do in the morning. Well,
Speaker 1: the one thing I have to go to do in
Speaker 1: the morning is go to the bathroom. Then I'll brush
Speaker 1: my teeth, and then I'll go downstairs and then I'll
Speaker 1: have a bottle of water, and then then I'll make
Speaker 1: my coffee. Depending on my mood, it's either a double
Speaker 1: espresso or a cappuccino, right, and I'll just take my time.
Speaker 1: I love to read in the morning, and so I
Speaker 1: spend about twenty minutes reading and then I get ready,
Speaker 1: feed my dog, go to the gym, come back, and
Speaker 1: then I'm ready to go. And my regular routine really
Speaker 1: is I mean, I wear a hat most of the
Speaker 1: time because two reasons. One it's super easy, so let's
Speaker 1: call it lazy, and the other is because it's the
Speaker 1: way to market my brand. I truly believe when you
Speaker 1: have a company, you market it any way. You can't
Speaker 1: whether it's a T shirt, hat, car billboards, however, you
Speaker 1: just you got to be a walking billboard because that's
Speaker 1: just the.
Speaker 2: Way it is, right.
Speaker 1: So I find myself wearing a hat most of the time.
Speaker 1: And even though I'll get a haircut, lately, it's been
Speaker 1: every other month, so I wait till I start looking
Speaker 1: like a chevaka and I'm like, can you get me in?
Speaker 1: So they cut it short and then you know, it's
Speaker 1: good for about three weeks and then it just goes
Speaker 1: the hey to hell from there. But that's really my routine.
Speaker 1: I shower, I brush my teeth, I put some lotion
Speaker 1: on my skin because I've always done that most of
Speaker 1: my life, and that's it. If I do fix my hair,
Speaker 1: it's like literally two minutes. And I do use a
Speaker 1: blow dryer sometimes depending on how long my hair is.
Speaker 1: And that's about it. That's all I do for you know,
Speaker 1: beauty stuff. And then, of course, because I wear tank
Speaker 1: tops and not tank toss but T shirts and T
Speaker 1: shirts most of my day and I'm in tennis shoes
Speaker 1: most of my day, I try to wear branded you
Speaker 1: know clothes, and I get a hard time for my
Speaker 1: wife and production like, do you wear anything else? Nope,
Speaker 1: That's all I wear. So it's it's been fortunate to
Speaker 1: get to this point. But I used to wear a
Speaker 1: suit to work every day, and I would wear I
Speaker 1: would go to the me too, you do. I like
Speaker 1: to wear suits when we go to red carpet events
Speaker 1: because that's really pretty much the only time I get
Speaker 1: to wear them anymore. I have no reason to wear
Speaker 1: you know suits really anymore. But I do feel good.
Speaker 1: I do feel good in having to dress up like that.
Speaker 1: So tell me about your daily routine and then we'll
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, our red carpet routine.
Speaker 2: As as soon as I wake up, I thank God
Speaker 2: for my health and I thank God for just another
Speaker 2: day of life, and then I drink some water. I
Speaker 2: usually like to keep two glasses of water there, and
Speaker 2: it's like to down at least the first one, right,
Speaker 2: I can't tell you, like hydration is so important for energy, right,
Speaker 2: So for me it's like just the first hour is
Speaker 2: so important to me, right, it's so hydrated. I have
Speaker 2: a Bible app that I read. I like to read
Speaker 2: at least one little chapter a day. I do a
Speaker 2: little then I go and brush my teeth, and as
Speaker 2: I'm brushing my teeth, I do a little gratitude exercise
Speaker 2: that I like to do, which I think I've talked
Speaker 2: about it here before. Where what am I happy about?
Speaker 2: What am I excited about? What am I proud of?
Speaker 2: What am I grateful for? What am I enjoying? What
Speaker 2: am I committed to? And what do I love? And
Speaker 2: the sub question to that is what about it makes
Speaker 2: me feel this way? And I do that typically as
Speaker 2: I'm brushing my teeth, and that kind of gets me
Speaker 2: just in a you know, gratitude is just I think,
Speaker 2: so important, right.
Speaker 1: It.
Speaker 2: I think gratitude and forgiveness are sort of inseparable, right,
Speaker 2: And then from there I go down and get my shake.
Speaker 2: So usually I like to do a six thirty class,
Speaker 2: like a hit class or a hot yoga class. But
Speaker 2: that's kind of my routine in the morning and then
Speaker 2: at night time. I love my sleep. I try to
Speaker 2: get six hours minimum, but in a perfect world seven
Speaker 2: is like ideal. But in order I noticed that in
Speaker 2: order to get that sleep, I gotta wake I gotta
Speaker 2: go to bed. Try to start going to bed around
Speaker 2: nine thirty, because if I stay up till like eleven,
Speaker 2: it messes up my entire sleep. Like I'm up at eight,
Speaker 2: it'll take me Like if I try to go down
Speaker 2: by eleven, I won't go to bed till twelve, and
Speaker 2: then I'm up all night and then I'll wake up
Speaker 2: at five. So it messages up the routine. But if
Speaker 2: I can go to sleep early, like at nine point thirty,
Speaker 2: I'll sleep the entire night and I'll wake up at five.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I almost feel like maybe it's because we're getting older.
Speaker 2: But what's that movie called Benjamin Button. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 2: like now that I'm getting old, I feel like I'm
Speaker 2: a kid again. Remember when like your kids, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the earlier you put them to bed, the longer they sleep. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: So that's like one of the things that Teddy's always
Speaker 2: done a great job with our kids is she gets
Speaker 2: some trained to go to like our youngest. Right, she'll
Speaker 2: go to sleep at seven, she'll wake up at eight, nice,
Speaker 2: and she'll still take a nap from twelve to three,
Speaker 2: twelve to four, So she sleeps a ton, right, It's
Speaker 2: probably why she's so tall. But if we were to
Speaker 2: put her to bed at twelve, she'd still wake up
Speaker 2: at eight. Yeah, it's not like, oh, I'm up at twelve.
Speaker 2: I stayed up till twelve, so I'm gonna wake up
Speaker 2: at ten.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: She still wakes up around the same time no matter what.
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of the same way now, like if
Speaker 2: I stay up late. That that's why I hardly like
Speaker 2: going out anymore. That's why my dinner again, I'm like
Speaker 2: an old man now, like dinner. You want to have dinner?
Speaker 2: I had five thirty six.
Speaker 1: Yep, I'm right there with you.
Speaker 2: But it gives me time to digest my food. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I sleep better, and yeah, it's it's it's hard to
Speaker 2: get me to go out at night anymore, just because
Speaker 2: it messes up my sleep so much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it now too, Like why older people
Speaker 1: when I was young, you know, like why are you
Speaker 1: going to bed starting?
Speaker 2: How?
Speaker 1: What a boring life. And the reality is I'd rather
Speaker 1: have a boring, healthy life than feel exhausted, drained, and
Speaker 1: you know, sick because I'm going out all the time,
Speaker 1: eating out all the time, drinking all the time. I
Speaker 1: just do not desire that at all. Yeah, So tell
Speaker 1: me about some of the products you use in the
Speaker 1: morning to start your day. Do you use a face cream?
Speaker 1: Do you use any anything for the bags under your eyes?
Speaker 1: Do you wax your eyebrows or nose or ears?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: What do you use for a hair stuff?
Speaker 2: The dyes, the odd the eyes. I don't do is
Speaker 2: good of a job with on the cream. I do
Speaker 2: like putting creams every morning. In fact, I probably need
Speaker 2: a lesser expensive brand. I use this brand called Lamurr
Speaker 2: all right. I brought it just in case I think
Speaker 2: expensive though. I need to find me maybe or maybe
Speaker 2: they could sponsor me. But do you like it? I
Speaker 2: love it? It's just freaking pricing. Yeah, I still use
Speaker 2: good old Murray's. Have you ever heard of Morays? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. Yeah, yeah, probably three bucks all over
Speaker 1: your body. It clears up dry skin like no other.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well I don't think it's the same one
Speaker 2: More's is like the it's an orange can.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I was thinking about the white bottle. Okay.
Speaker 2: It's for people that have really thick care.
Speaker 1: I have really big care okay, and what you put
Speaker 1: on your hair. Yeah, oh okay.
Speaker 2: So it's like a palmade right. So that's one product
Speaker 2: that will spend a lot of money. And in fact,
Speaker 2: that's that's the same product I used to use in
Speaker 2: high school. Okay, I still use it nowt here twenty
Speaker 2: you know, twenty five thirty years later. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 2: just my favorite. So you know who also uses that product?
Speaker 2: My father in law.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, is he the one that turned you onto it? No?
Speaker 2: I'd been using it since I was like sixteen fifteen.
Speaker 2: So when I was at his house and saw it,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh shit, we used the same product.
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool because it's so inexpensive.
Speaker 1: You know, that's awesome. Cool, So you got hair hair products.
Speaker 1: I do use a palmad in my hair. I've used
Speaker 1: it for many, many, many, mini many years. And I
Speaker 1: discovered it at a salon that I used to go
Speaker 1: to four men only it was what was it called?
Speaker 1: I forgot what it was called, but it was awesome
Speaker 1: because you walk into the salon, they offer you either
Speaker 1: coffee or a glass of cocktail or something right, and
Speaker 1: then they can do your haircut. They can do your
Speaker 1: ear wax, your your nose wax, your eyebrow wax, everything
Speaker 1: that you can do to a guy. Even at some
Speaker 1: point they were doing butt waxes, like they were offering
Speaker 1: to wax your butt. But it was all I think
Speaker 1: they offered facials and stuff like that. It was just
Speaker 1: to pamper men, and I enjoyed it. I didn't go,
Speaker 1: you know, any further than just waxing my face and
Speaker 1: getting a haircut.
Speaker 2: You mean you didn't do a butt wax.
Speaker 1: I did not. I contemplated it, you know, because I
Speaker 1: do have a hairy but I don't know why, but
Speaker 1: I definitely thought about it, you know, but I just
Speaker 1: didn't want to show my buttholes to anybody. I don't
Speaker 1: even show it to my wife. But yeah, that was
Speaker 1: my first experience. That's when I discovered palmate, and I've
Speaker 1: been using it ever since. And nowadays. You know, if
Speaker 1: I'm not getting ready for a red carpet event and
Speaker 1: i have to get ready to go out, you can
Speaker 1: ask my wellife if it takes me less than five minutes.
Speaker 1: Even the shower, Like I wait the last minute, jump
Speaker 1: in a shower real quick, and I'm ready to go
Speaker 1: in five minutes.
Speaker 2: The hat is so easy, too write, when you just
Speaker 2: wear a hat and boom go.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. If I could wear a hat everywhere, my
Speaker 1: life would be so much easier.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: What about your routine when you're going to go on
Speaker 1: a red carpet event or an event where everybody's decked out,
Speaker 1: let's say a gala, you know, Okay, what's your routine?
Speaker 2: So if I want to have like a good hair day,
Speaker 2: which I'm not having today, I typically well take a
Speaker 2: shower about three hours prior. Okay, I'll wear like a
Speaker 2: beanie or like a do rag, right, and then I'll
Speaker 2: literally wait till the hair gets dry. Right, but it's
Speaker 2: like three hours. I'll just I'll either have a hat
Speaker 2: or this when I'll take it out and it's all
Speaker 2: straight right, and then I'll just and then I'll just
Speaker 2: mess with it to this, you know, blah blah blah,
Speaker 2: and then then we're out.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: But I typically because I don't know how to use
Speaker 2: a blow dryer. So because I don't know how to
Speaker 2: use a blow dryer, just slick the hair back, dry it,
Speaker 2: then use the palmade and then do the whole like
Speaker 2: messy thing. But so sometimes, like if I have a
Speaker 2: morning event, I'll actually sleep with the do rag, which
Speaker 2: Teddy hates, or I'll sleep with this sucker, which Teddy hates.
Speaker 1: So where did you learn that routine?
Speaker 2: Ah? Man, that's just like younger my hair because it's
Speaker 2: so thick, it goes. Yeah, so that sort of like
Speaker 2: holms it down, straightens it, and then I do my
Speaker 2: thing and then it looks like it's dry. Right, So
Speaker 2: I just I should probably learn how to damn use
Speaker 2: the blow dry that'd probably be a lot easier to
Speaker 2: save me three hours of freaking taking a shower three
Speaker 2: hours before I go out.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I still like to wait till the last minute.
Speaker 1: I learned how to blow drying my hair watching the
Speaker 1: hairstylists do it for me. Yeah, So that's that's the
Speaker 1: only reason I use to blow dry. It's so much
Speaker 1: easier too. But you know there's times where let's say
Speaker 1: I'm writing my Harley, I just slick my hair back,
Speaker 1: put a little bit of pomp me to keep my
Speaker 1: hair out of my face. And throw my helmet on,
Speaker 1: and I'm off on the off on the races, right.
Speaker 1: But for a red carpet event, yeah, I get ready
Speaker 1: real fast. I usually ask my wife what she wants
Speaker 1: me to wear, because you know, most red carpet events
Speaker 1: are because of her, and I let her decide, you
Speaker 1: know what, what I'm gonna wear, unless I'm in a
Speaker 1: mood and I'm like, I'm gonna wear whatever I want
Speaker 1: to wear. But she usually picks that out for me
Speaker 1: and says, okay, yeah, wear suit or wear jeans and
Speaker 1: a nice shirt. I just go based on her opinion.
Speaker 1: And then, you know, I have a couple of pairs
Speaker 1: shoes in my closet that I don't wear often, you know,
Speaker 1: because I just want them to look new for whatever
Speaker 1: red carpet or whatever event we go to. So and
Speaker 1: as far as clothing, I don't really pay too much
Speaker 1: attention anymore. You know. I've gone as far as getting
Speaker 1: pants that I wear recently. When I go writing my
Speaker 1: Harley from Costco, I will pay seventeen dollars for a
Speaker 1: pair of pants that I can write on my Harley
Speaker 1: because they need to be baggy, they need to be comfortable.
Speaker 1: But yeah, They're not one hundred and eighty dollars pants.
Speaker 1: They're seventeen dollars Costco pants.
Speaker 2: I have these like three they are probably four hundred
Speaker 2: dollars slacks, but I wear them all the time and
Speaker 2: I've had them for like, I don't know, five years.
Speaker 2: They are my favorite and they're black.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The other day I had a heart attack because like
Speaker 2: they threw them in the dryer and I'm sorry they
Speaker 2: washed them. Thank god they didn't put them in the
Speaker 2: dry because I would have been, like, those are my
Speaker 2: favorite and they don't make them anymore. Yeah, But it's
Speaker 2: funny how for me, I always wear the same like
Speaker 2: either the same genes or the same slacks. I like
Speaker 2: to have two go tos and then that's it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but they're super company and they look good, you know
Speaker 2: what I've been getting lately. So I'm five nine, and
Speaker 2: I think you're a little taller, what five ten maybe
Speaker 2: five eleven?
Speaker 1: Yeah, five eleven. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So now I don't know how Instagram finds this stuff out,
Speaker 2: but I keep getting hit up for like these three
Speaker 2: inch souls that are like all the time. Right, So
Speaker 2: probably because you're not you're five to eleven, They're not
Speaker 2: marketing to you. But every day they're marketing to me, like, hey,
Speaker 2: you need three more inches on your soul, And so
Speaker 2: I keep getting these up and there's a part of
Speaker 2: me that wants to buy it. I actually sent it
Speaker 2: to Teddy because I just I was lazy where I
Speaker 2: didn't actually want to like buy it, so I was like,
Speaker 2: can you get this? And she still hasn't got it.
Speaker 2: But like technology nowadays, right back in the day, when
Speaker 2: I was single, I had these Ya sell boots and
Speaker 2: they had like a three inch heel. You know, back
Speaker 2: in the day there was that boot cut so you
Speaker 2: could never see the three inch heels. So I was
Speaker 2: like six foot for a long time, and that that
Speaker 2: was like my going out shoot. I only went out
Speaker 2: with my Wi cell three inch heel that no one
Speaker 2: would see. But because I wanted to be like women
Speaker 2: that were five to nine but heels were like six
Speaker 2: feet yeah, so I wanted at least be six foot.
Speaker 2: So it's funny anyway, now I'm getting marketed to all
Speaker 2: the time by these like heel things our souls, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, why the hell wasn't this shiit around when
Speaker 2: I was single, right you know? Yeah, now what's the point.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm happy, I'm married. I'm happy being five
Speaker 2: to nine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, our wife accept My license.
Speaker 2: Still says five to ten, by the way.
Speaker 1: But okay, I'm getting short. Oh man. So let me
Speaker 1: ask you this. Do you get pampered in any way?
Speaker 1: And do you enjoy it?
Speaker 2: Not? Really? You know, I've never been into massages. I
Speaker 2: do facials. I like facials. I should do it more often.
Speaker 2: I used to be good with them. Now, I mean,
Speaker 2: I can't think they'll I can't remember the last time
Speaker 2: I got a facial. But I used to be pretty
Speaker 2: consistent with it, like once a month. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: just haven't done it. But I used to like facials.
Speaker 2: That's that's as pampered as like I've gotten. I've never
Speaker 2: done the whole, the whole massage thing. It's just I've
Speaker 2: got a couple, but it's just never been my thing.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Teddy took me to that one place where they I
Speaker 2: think it's a Korean place, and they scrubbed the shit
Speaker 2: out of you. Yeah. Man, they had one in Beverly Hills. Man.
Speaker 2: That felt like reminded me a little bit of like
Speaker 2: Saw the movie, Like, am I gonna get murdered or
Speaker 2: something like. It's it's how would you describe Have you
Speaker 2: been in one of those? I have not.
Speaker 1: No, I've heard of them, and I've heard some are
Speaker 1: highly traditional where you have to walk around naked and
Speaker 1: from room the room, and you have to be naked.
Speaker 1: They don't allow you not to be naked and it's
Speaker 1: part of the whole experience. So I haven't tried that.
Speaker 1: I haven't had the balls to do that.
Speaker 2: It kind of felt like a corner's office. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: you know, they got there just like wash these like
Speaker 2: all these washed it. They basically washed you like a dog.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And you're just snaked and you're like, what the hell,
Speaker 2: it's crazy. It took me. I was like, all right,
Speaker 2: I'll do it, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. Now I understand Teddy loves to be
Speaker 1: pampered with massages, right, Like that's her thing. That's that's
Speaker 1: one thing my wife mentioned that she loves, and I
Speaker 1: that's one thing I love. That's probably the most I
Speaker 1: spend money on is massages. I used to get a massage.
Speaker 1: At one point, I was getting a massage every week
Speaker 1: and it got to the point where like, okay, I
Speaker 1: got to back off on this because my massage budget
Speaker 1: is getting really big. But I just love the deep
Speaker 1: shoe sports massage that you know, she gets in there
Speaker 1: and she just finds the pain or finds the nod
Speaker 1: or finds the issue and it just works it out
Speaker 1: and I feel a million dollars a million times better afterwards.
Speaker 1: Even though it was a little painful, I know that
Speaker 1: in a couple of days, it'll repair itself and I'll
Speaker 1: be I'll get rid of that chronic pain, whether it's
Speaker 1: my back or my neck or my shoulder whatever. Right,
Speaker 1: So those are the kind of pampering massages I like,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even categorize them as pampering because they the
Speaker 1: deeper that the therapists can get, the more productive it
Speaker 1: is for me. So when I have had massages, you know,
Speaker 1: when I'm on vacation and I'm like, I just need
Speaker 1: a massage, and I get a massage at the local hotel.
Speaker 1: Is just one of those little sweetest touch touch, touch touch.
Speaker 1: I hate those massages. They just they don't do anything.
Speaker 1: And I think it was probably a year or two
Speaker 1: ago I discovered or I decided to try a facial massage,
Speaker 1: and that was pretty freaking awesome. I've never had a
Speaker 1: facial massage or a facial and it's a pretty cool experience.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'd just rather get the whole shebang, you know,
Speaker 1: head to toe massage. And I'll tell you, the longest
Speaker 1: massage I've ever had, I think was like six hours.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she she worked her ass off, you know, paste herself.
Speaker 2: But she just feels like an eternity to me.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, I two hours. An hour feels like
Speaker 1: a warm up for me. Now, two hours is like
Speaker 1: what I wish. But most massage therapists don't do more
Speaker 1: than ninety minutes because it's a lot of work.
Speaker 2: But it was.
Speaker 1: It was incredible, and I felt like a gazillion dollars
Speaker 1: after that was six hours. I don't know how she
Speaker 1: did it, but she's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: Now I saw Tamera did like, was it a face lift?
Speaker 2: I don't know, she did something or her face.
Speaker 1: She did a brow lift and a CO two skin
Speaker 1: procedure where they basically burn a layer or two of
Speaker 1: your face. Since she did it at the same time.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, that's what happened to me. I
Speaker 2: did one of those things where they peel your face
Speaker 2: and like a dumb ass I got. I got a
Speaker 2: facial like four days after. Yeah, that was not a
Speaker 2: good combination for my face. Hints that picture that came out,
Speaker 2: you know the first year of Real Housewives.
Speaker 1: Was it painful?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the peeling thing. Holy shit, it was again.
Speaker 2: You know how everybody gives you free shit back, you know,
Speaker 2: so they're like, hey, come in for this. It's it's
Speaker 2: appealing thing, Teddy approved. But then I got another face
Speaker 2: or just because it was for free as well, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I might as well make it look good.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, no, it did the opposite for my face.
Speaker 2: But anyway, would you ever do something like that? I
Speaker 2: would never do it like an eyelid thing like what
Speaker 2: camera did.
Speaker 1: No. No, I won't say never because throughout my life
Speaker 1: that I've ever said I'll never do that and never this,
Speaker 1: never that.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 1: Somehow life just puts it in front of you and
Speaker 1: and it changes things, right, It's all perspective. I would,
Speaker 1: for example, my my wife has gotten plastic surgery and
Speaker 1: she's not, you know, hiding it by any means. But
Speaker 1: I've always told myself when I was younger, I would
Speaker 1: never date or marry a woman that has to get
Speaker 1: plastic surgery, because that's just not it's fake, it's phony,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not a real person. And obviously I'm
Speaker 1: in love with my wife and she's a real person.
Speaker 1: I love the real woman she is, and that the
Speaker 1: work she has had done on her face has been
Speaker 1: very subtle.
Speaker 2: She's done a pretty job of like looking natural, like
Speaker 2: I wouldn't Yeah, if she didn wantn't have posted on
Speaker 2: the Instagram, I would have known.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So so I have a new outlook about it,
Speaker 1: a new respect for it, you know, like, Okay, maybe
Speaker 1: a little tuck here and there, if you can afford it,
Speaker 1: because it's expensive, might do the trick. And the one
Speaker 1: thing that I've always thought I probably would want to
Speaker 1: do but I could never afford, was getting my teeth done.
Speaker 1: I have pretty yeah, veneers, I've had. I have pretty
Speaker 1: good teeth. There's a couple of crooked ones and you know,
Speaker 1: chip your down my waist. No, no, but I am
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm gonna go do that, Edwin, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go get some veneers. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna fly
Speaker 1: to Texas where Smile Texas is. It's one of the
Speaker 1: best doctors. I I did VET a few doctors, and
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the conversations because my biggest fear was they're
Speaker 1: gonna grind your teeth all the way down, you know,
Speaker 1: to the I guess call it the core, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna have these weird teeth and then they're gonna put
Speaker 1: some fake teeth on there, right, So I never want to.
Speaker 2: Bind you down.
Speaker 1: Nowadays, the new technology is they kind of sand it
Speaker 1: a little bit. They just take a very very small
Speaker 1: little layer of your teeth and then they'll do the
Speaker 1: cosmetics side. Like my front teeth here are chipped a
Speaker 1: little bit, so they'll they'll grind those a little bit
Speaker 1: to their flat or even and then they'll grind a
Speaker 1: little bit this crooked teeth a little bit so that
Speaker 1: the veneer can fit better. But here's the thing that
Speaker 1: really convinced me. The doctor was all about function first
Speaker 1: over esthetics, right, because you've seen doctors out there that
Speaker 1: do these veneers and you have this fake white smile
Speaker 1: that the teeth are all close together, it looks like
Speaker 1: one piece and it just doesn't look natural at all.
Speaker 1: And that's not what I want. I wanted to look
Speaker 1: as natural as possible. So when the doctor mentioned their
Speaker 1: technique is all about a function. First, they have to
Speaker 1: be functional, like you've got to be able to eat,
Speaker 1: you got to be able to bite into an apple.
Speaker 1: You've got to be able to use them like they're
Speaker 1: meant to be. And then we'll talk about esthetics. You know,
Speaker 1: how do we make them a little bit closer together,
Speaker 1: how do we make them a little bit straighter. Do
Speaker 1: we want to widen your smile a little bit or
Speaker 1: keep it narrow based on your biology, right so or physiology.
Speaker 1: So after talking to the doctor and doing my research
Speaker 1: and then you know, getting a kind of an idea
Speaker 1: of what's going to look like, I was like, I
Speaker 1: think I want these. I'm sold. I'm sold. So next
Speaker 1: week we're going to go to Smile, Texas and get
Speaker 1: fitted for them and get the temporaries, and then we're
Speaker 1: going to fly home and then fly back and get
Speaker 1: the permanent ones.
Speaker 2: And are you hearing it out on a with towm
Speaker 2: at the same time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, So both my wife and I are going
Speaker 1: to do this and we're going to have million dollar smiles.
Speaker 1: But you know, the thing that other concern I had was,
Speaker 1: you know, as you age my grandmother who's ninety nine
Speaker 1: years old. You know, she's been through a couple of
Speaker 1: denture teeth, She's lost a couple of denture teeth, and
Speaker 1: that just scares a shit out of me, Like, am
Speaker 1: I going to lose my teeth? So I talked to
Speaker 1: the doctor about that, and he says, no, the technology
Speaker 1: nowadays is so much better. You will probably have these
Speaker 1: veneers until the day you die. So they last about
Speaker 1: they used to last about ten years and you had
Speaker 1: to get them redone kind of like fake boobs, right,
Speaker 1: But the doctor said, you can get twenty to thirty
Speaker 1: years depending on how well you maintain these, and you
Speaker 1: can get you know, really good longevity on your teeth.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to have a big smile with straight teeth,
Speaker 1: the perfect smile, and my wife's going to be happy.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be happy, and you'll make sure we do.
Speaker 2: You're going to be showing off your teeth to us.
Speaker 1: I will, I will.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got that to follow up on that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably going to be the most superficial thing
Speaker 1: I've ever done to myself is my teeth, because I
Speaker 1: just don't see myself getting you know, nip and tuck.
Speaker 1: I scared my head too. Yeah, it just seems scary
Speaker 1: to me, and I you know, I'm not so worried
Speaker 1: about it. You know, I know who I am. I
Speaker 1: know I'm getting older, and I think the scary part for.
Speaker 2: Me is you do it, you don't like it, and
Speaker 2: then you try to fix it it, then you don't
Speaker 2: like it, yeah, and then before you know it, it's
Speaker 2: just a shit show. So I've made the the decision
Speaker 2: that I'm gonna just let it age. I'll do botox,
Speaker 2: so I'll do that kind of stuff. But hey, I'm
Speaker 2: just I'm scared deny it, like I'm scared of cutting
Speaker 2: my face like I have. You know, I've never been
Speaker 2: in I've never gone down with oxygen what do they
Speaker 2: call it, oh, anesthesia?
Speaker 1: Like you've never been put out?
Speaker 2: No, I've never been put out. So that's why I'm like,
Speaker 2: probably a good thing that I because of that, I
Speaker 2: probably won't do it, or I know I won't do
Speaker 2: it because I'm just freaked out about that stuff.
Speaker 1: That's funny. I have been put out a few times
Speaker 1: when I was having my heart issue, and they used
Speaker 1: it was funny. I'll never forget the conversation the very
Speaker 1: very first time I was going to be put out,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know what to expect
Speaker 1: because the last time I was in the first time,
Speaker 1: first and last time I was put out was when
Speaker 1: I got my molers taken out, and I was like, thinks,
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen, and I don't remember the experience. I just
Speaker 1: remember waking up crying and you know, like what happened
Speaker 1: to me? And recently when I had my heart issue,
Speaker 1: I went to the doctors and they were gonna put
Speaker 1: me out, and the nurse was just talking up well
Speaker 1: profolo or something like that. Pro profolo, I think it's called.
Speaker 1: It's an anesthesia that Michael Jackson used to sleep and
Speaker 1: she was like, it's the best experience ever. You're gonna
Speaker 1: love it. And I'm like, I'm just getting put out.
Speaker 1: And sure enough, you know, I think I was put
Speaker 1: out multiple times that year, whether it was a cardio
Speaker 1: version or actual ablationion, I was put out with that stuff,
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you it was pretty awesome. It knocks
Speaker 1: you out, you don't even feel it. You wake up
Speaker 1: and you're a little groggy, and it takes about three
Speaker 1: or four hours to really get out of your system,
Speaker 1: but you feel amazing. It's crazy. So I can understand
Speaker 1: the excitement behind you you put out And it's pretty safe,
Speaker 1: relatively safe, I think as long as you're pretty healthy
Speaker 1: and the anesthesiologist as they're watching your monitoring, I think
Speaker 1: it's pretty safe. But that's that's yeah, that's my experience
Speaker 1: with that. I do have one more point to make,
Speaker 1: and that's why do you think most guys have the
Speaker 1: stigma of not talking about, you know, their self care
Speaker 1: or self beauty. You know, I mean I have a
Speaker 1: lot of friends that do take care of themselves. I
Speaker 1: grew up in the era that was metrosexual, right, you know,
Speaker 1: you take care of your health, you take care of
Speaker 1: your hire, you take care of them. You know, you
Speaker 1: just take care of yourself. What about those guys I
Speaker 1: just don't care, you know, they just so.
Speaker 2: I always often talk about how whatever you don't do
Speaker 2: for a long time, you'll start to dislike it. Right, So,
Speaker 2: if you don't do something for a long time, dislike it.
Speaker 2: So if you haven't gone to the gym for a
Speaker 2: long time, you probably dislike the gym. If you haven't
Speaker 2: really taken care of yourself for a long time, you
Speaker 2: probably dislike having to take care of yourself because whatever
Speaker 2: whatever you serve, you'll love. Right. So many times, like
Speaker 2: you said, like you just kind of get away from
Speaker 2: like taking care of yourself and before you know you're
Speaker 2: just like yah, screw it, and before you know it,
Speaker 2: you're you just let yourself go, right. So I think
Speaker 2: there's a part of you know, if you let yourself
Speaker 2: go sometimes it's so hard to get back to where
Speaker 2: you want to that it's so discouraging that you just
Speaker 2: take the easier path, right, which is not like I'm
Speaker 2: thinking fitness right for me. I've always had an example,
Speaker 2: is fitness right for me? There is a certain point
Speaker 2: where I'm like, oh man, I need to get back
Speaker 2: to it right, because if I don't, I'm gonna let
Speaker 2: myself get to another place that it's harder to recover
Speaker 2: from as far as like it's just hard and it's discouraging, right,
Speaker 2: So I try not to let it get to that place, right.
Speaker 2: So I think with I guess taking care of yourself,
Speaker 2: whether that's your fitness, whether that's the way you dress,
Speaker 2: whether it's I think it just comes back to when
Speaker 2: you don't do something for a long time, you just
Speaker 2: start to dislike it, and you're like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: need that anymore, care about it? So not a bad
Speaker 2: I mean, it could be a good thing in many
Speaker 2: reasons and in many ways, right, Like if you haven't
Speaker 2: drank for a long time, you start to dislike alcohol,
Speaker 2: Like I don't really like alcohol anymore, right, But it's
Speaker 2: just I rarely drink now, so I don't really like
Speaker 2: it as much.
Speaker 1: You know. So do you think there's guys out there
Speaker 1: that talk about it freely because it's a normal I
Speaker 1: don't even want to stay secure because there's a lot
Speaker 1: to secure guys out there that just don't do you know,
Speaker 1: the self care, self beauty.
Speaker 2: It's also pricey, right, so like I guess you pick
Speaker 2: and choose, right, So for women probably a little more important,
Speaker 2: I would think, yeah, than for men. And for men
Speaker 2: it's expensive. So you're like, yeah, that's not really a
Speaker 2: priority for me right now. So I'm cool with my
Speaker 2: T shirt, right, I'm cool with not getting a facial
Speaker 2: and things like that. So that that's kind of the
Speaker 2: way I look at it.
Speaker 1: What about your nails? Have you ever gotten your nails done?
Speaker 2: Do you get your na?
Speaker 1: Know? What?
Speaker 2: Nails is one thing I've never my toenails. I'm starting
Speaker 2: to do now just because you know, as you get older,
Speaker 2: your toenails get weird too, So those I'm starting to do.
Speaker 2: But I found like, shit, man, that thing's expensive. Like
Speaker 2: I'm like, come on, you're really going to charge me
Speaker 2: eighty bucks for or a hunt? Like haircuts are expensive now,
Speaker 2: like what happened to the five dollars haircuts?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Like when I was growing up, I was getting a
Speaker 2: three dollar haircut. Now it's like seventy eighty. I'm like,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you just freaking run my hair up
Speaker 2: and you're charging me eighty bucks or a hundred bucks
Speaker 2: and then you got a tip on top of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hund dollar haircut. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: The one I can't justify is my hand nails because
Speaker 2: I could easily just get a clipper. Yeah, do it myself,
Speaker 2: so that I refuse to pay for the toenails I'm
Speaker 2: paying for.
Speaker 1: Okay, I wouldn't. I wouldn't expose my nail lady to
Speaker 1: my toenails because they're just grotesque. But yeah, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: pay for that either, because for me, I can just
Speaker 1: get a clipper and be clip my nails and spiling
Speaker 1: down and be done within a minute. Honestly, it takes
Speaker 1: that long to just get it done. And I just
Speaker 1: can't justify paying eighty dollars to get my nails done.
Speaker 1: But I do know some guys that that's their thing.
Speaker 1: They really enjoy that and it's their way of pampering themselves.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you guys getting circumcised when they're older.
Speaker 1: I have, I've heard, I have, remember I think I was.
Speaker 1: It was must have been like twenty years ago. And
Speaker 1: I don't really know why they would do that at
Speaker 1: that age. I think we were in our mid thirties
Speaker 1: when this guy was talking about it, and I just
Speaker 1: didn't understand, you know, why he wanted to do that,
Speaker 1: you know, but.
Speaker 2: It makes your penis look bigger. I don't know. But
Speaker 2: I that's a hard one for me. That's a tough thing.
Speaker 2: That is shage at this age. You know.
Speaker 1: I I don't want beauty to be painful. I want
Speaker 1: it to be as natural as possible. But sometimes, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know how painful this teeth thing is. Going
Speaker 1: to the doctor said it doesn't hurt at all, But
Speaker 1: I have no idea because you know, I grew up
Speaker 1: with the budget dentists that would, you know, stick the
Speaker 1: needle into your bone and it would just traumatize you
Speaker 1: and you would never want to go back to the dentists, right, dude, I.
Speaker 2: Wore braceists for three years because I couldn't we couldn't
Speaker 2: afford to take him out.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, that you know that would traumatize you.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't until my probably early to mid forties
Speaker 1: that I found a dentist that did not stick the
Speaker 1: needle into my bone and make me cry. And I
Speaker 1: had a new new outlook for going to the dentists
Speaker 1: and getting my teeth clean and getting my teeth worked
Speaker 1: done because it wasn't painful anymore when they stuck the
Speaker 1: needle in my mouth. But that's yeah, if it's painful,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. So anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm always great chatting with you and catching up. I'm
Speaker 1: glad you're doing well.
Speaker 2: Saying some with you. Man, I'm glad you're doing well.
Speaker 2: Can't wait, just look at your teeth next time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited too. I'm actually excited. I always been
Speaker 1: against it, but I'm actually interested in open to it
Speaker 1: and excited to see what it looks like all right,
Speaker 1: till next time, Until next time,
