Loading summary
A
I came back two weeks later or about a week later, and what do you think happened?
B
One was dead, one was alive, one.
A
Was perfectly spotted like a cheetah, and the other one was just bruised, banged, beat up. It was, like, inedible.
B
Wow.
A
Couldn't either.
B
Energy, man, energy.
A
I just cursed, cursed, curse. And I love, love, love.
B
I could see that because I got a mean aunt, and whenever she comes over, all the plants die. Yeah. So I definitely agree. All right, guys, he's back. He. He broke the Internet. First time we had to have him back on, man. Thanks for coming.
A
Thanks for having me.
B
Ted Carr, fruitarian.
A
That's right.
B
What a username on Instagram.
A
Yeah, cheers. Got it. But when Instagram first came out, it's only, like, the square.
B
Yeah, I remember that.
A
And the cool thing was all the filters.
B
I remember that. Yeah. I saw on your Instagram, you just did a. A test on your levels and everything. Blood test, huh? How'd that go?
A
Yeah, I went in to see my testosterone levels because everyone said I'd have low test and my B12 levels, because everyone said I'd be deficient in B12 and testosterone, living on just fruit. And they're fine.
B
Really.
A
I sent them to my doctor friend because I couldn't even read the results. I was like, what does these even mean? So I send them to him and he's like, yeah, your levels are at the, like, higher natural end for B12 and testosterone.
B
Okay.
A
I don't supplement with B12 and I don't obviously take testosterone, so that's pretty cool.
B
That is cool. Did they tell you the number, like, of the testosterone? What?
A
Yeah, I forget, though. It was like, again, I have to screenshot. Maybe we could post a screenshot or something of it, But I forget the number. I didn't understand the results, so I sent it to him.
B
That means you're doing something right, though. If your testosterone's good, your vitamin B is good.
A
Yeah. And it must be because I. I squat. Squatting boost testosterone, and I sleep really, really well. I track my sleep with this oura ring. I'm always trying to get that sleep score higher. So my sleep is on point and my. My leg training is now on point.
B
Yeah.
A
And you're doing no fap and I do no fap. Yeah. And I don't do, like, a ton of cardio, which can tank the test as well.
B
Really? Cardio tanks? Testosterone.
A
Longdistance endurance training. Yeah.
B
Oh, wow.
A
Sprinting boost test.
B
So I wonder why the distance lowers it then.
A
It's just too much. Heart pumping too much, nervous system drain. Think how you feel after you run an ultra marathon. You want to or you want to chill.
B
That's true. Yeah. And all the sprinters are jacked and all the distance runners are like twigs.
A
Exactly. Yeah. You just look and see who's got higher test.
B
Yeah. That's interesting, man. Well, I'm glad they were good levels because I was worried on your diet if they would be.
A
Yeah.
B
At a good range.
A
Yeah. Someone just tell me earlier, like, you have to eat animal products if you want B12. And I'm like, well, I don't eat any animals. Haven't eaten them for 15 years. And B12 is perfect. So how do you explain that?
B
Yeah, that is interesting. So how are you even getting B12 then?
A
Good question. The body produces it. It's like, it's like a byproduct of bacteria in the intestine. So. And it's also like, there's bacteria on foods that we eat. Like, you eat an apple is gonna be maybe some micro amount of B12 on there if you haven't heavily washed it. Or if you, you know, if you pick a strawberry from the vine, you don't heavily wash it. You're gonna get some B12 there. I think it's just a byproduct of bacteria and the back. So if you're washing everything heavily, which I don't do, if you're washing everything heavily, you're probably going to be missing out on some B12.
B
Seriously.
A
So anytime I drop a food on the floor, I joke about it and I'm like, oh, extra B12.
B
Five second rule, right?
A
Yeah. And look at, look at, look at little kids. Little kids are always picking stuff up off the ground, eating it, putting crap in their mouth, like.
B
Yeah. Training their immune system. That's why we got weak during COVID We weren't leaving the house. And as soon as you left, you got sick pretty much for like the first year.
A
Yeah. Go live as a bubble boy and come out and see what happens.
B
Yeah. So you don't wash your fruit, though? Because I get so many videos on my social media about that.
A
I buy the fruit from the grocery store, I take it home and eat it.
B
What?
A
Yeah, I never wash it, dude. Unless it's clearly got mud on it, which rarely ever does.
B
Yeah. So you might have parasites. No, dude, if you're eating fruit without washing it.
A
No, never, bro.
B
I mean, people wash it with tap water, which is stupid because that makes it worse, in my opinion.
A
But yeah, the only thing I like, I would rinse or wash is if I was going to rinse some dirty celery or something. But even I just use my hands. I look at the dirt and celery, just rub it off my hands. I look. Eat it.
B
Damn. You don't get any stomach aches from all the pesticides and herbicides. Oh, damn.
A
Organic, dude.
B
I'd be washing mine with vinegar and baking soda.
A
A lot of people are OCD about that.
B
Yeah, because I see videos of parasites coming out of them. The vegetables. Dude, you definitely have parasites, bro. We need to do a test.
A
Let's do a test.
B
I know a guy that can put like a thing on your chest and see if you have them.
A
Can I just take a and measure my sample?
B
We could do that too. Yeah, let's do that.
A
That'd be cool.
B
We'll publish it after this episode.
A
Cool.
B
You think you don't have them 100%.
A
I don't have them.
B
Dude. I'd be shocked. I have them.
A
Do you eat just fruit?
B
I eat a lot of fruit, actually. You'd be. You'd be happy with the amount of fruit I consume.
A
Do you eat like fish?
B
I do.
A
I think fish would have some parasites in them.
B
Yeah. I do like sushi. I've cut back heavily on sushi.
A
Why?
B
Just because I used to go to the all you can eats for like 25 bucks. All right, guys. Shout out to LinkedIn, today's sponsor. As a B2B marketer, you know how noisy the ad space can be.

A
One of my favorite things to get when I go to sushi restaurant, bro, I just ask for a cucumber avocado roll. No rice, just cucumber avocado. And I get a big amount of cucumber avocado. It tastes delicious.
B
Okay, so you're eating vegetables.
A
What is a vegetable of those two?
B
Isn't a cucumber vegetable. It's not.
A
It's got seeds.
B
Oh.
A
If it's got seeds, it's a fruit.
B
Wow.
A
Botanically speaking.
B
I did not know that.
A
If you're talking culinary, then, yeah, culinary people consider cucumber a vegetable, but botanically, scientifically, it's a fruit. Anything with seeds.
B
Anything with seeds.
A
Yeah. So like pumpkin.
B
So pumpkin is a veget. That pumpkin is a fruit.
A
Yeah.
B
Wow. I always thought it was a vegetable.
A
Yeah. A lot of okra. You know okra?
B
I do fruit of vegetable. Well, it has seeds. Right? So it's a fruit. Holy crap.
A
It's vegetable, zucchini, tomato. Like when people say, oh, I love vegetables, I'm like, oh, yeah, Tell me your favorite vegetables. Like, oh, tomato, avocado, cucumber. I'm like, pep peppers. Like, bro, those are my favorite fruits.
B
Peppers, a fruit. That's crazy. Do you grow your own stuff?
A
I used to grow my own stuff. I used to have my own garden. Grew peppers, tomatoes, corn. Yeah. One time I, I, I, I had my own big compost pile. And I'd juice things at home, and I take the juice pulp and throw it in the compost. And all winter long, I kept loading up my compost with juice pulp. And then come summertime, I put that, spread that compost all over the garden. And I didn't realize that that compost had so many tomato seeds in it from all the tomatoes I was using.
B
Yeah.
A
So my, my garden at the time, I planted like, specific seeds everywhere. Right. But then tomatoes just grew everywhere because it was seeds, like thousands of seeds.
B
That's crazy.
A
So warning for people who are juicing tomatoes and putting in the compost.
B
I want to have a garden one day. That's like a life goal of mine.
A
Yeah, I think it's. I think that's, like, right up there with having kids.
B
It's up there for sure. Living off the lay of the land must be a good feeling, dude, because we grew up like our ancestors grew up like that.
A
It's such a good feeling picking something from a tree or a bush and eating it and knowing that you grew that and it's so good.
B
Just feels pure. So good being in touch with nature. There's a spiritual side to dieting that people don't even talk about.
A
Spiritual side to dieting, Spiritual side to growing your own food. My friend always recommends sucking on the seed before you plant it.
B
Really?
A
Your DNA is. Becomes one with the seed, so the seed grows the fruit with your DNA in mind. It's like knowing what you need.
B
That's interesting. I'll try that, man.
A
Yeah. So suck your seeds or spit on them, too. I always spat on my plants and. Yes, spit in the roots.
B
They say plants are conscious for sure.
A
Dude, you can do this test. It's so crazy. I did this test, and many people on YouTube have done a similar test. I took two groups of unripe bananas, like, green, green, green. And I. I split them up. I divided them into two separate groups, and I put them in two separate rooms of the house, same temperature of the. Of their house. And I wrote a love letter to one of the groups saying how much I love them and how much they're appreciated and how beautiful they are. And then the other group, I wrote a hate letter, like a death letter, death note. I was like, I hate you, you piece of. You're so ugly. And I spent 10 minutes praising this bunch and 10 minutes absolutely hating this bunch. And I came back two weeks later or about a week later, and what do you think happened?
B
One was dead, one was alive, one.
A
Was perfectly spotted like a cheetah, and the other one was just bruised, banged, beat up. It was like, you inedible.
B
Wow.
A
Couldn't eat it.
B
Energy, man, energy.
A
I just cursed. Curse, curse. And I love, love, loved.
B
I could see that because I got a mean aunt, and whenever she comes over, all the plants die. Yeah, so I definitely agree.
A
Dude, you gotta move those plants next time she comes.
B
Yeah. No, for real. Even with dogs, like, they could sense evil. I've had a couple people stop by the crib, and the dogs just run away from them.
A
Wow.
B
Yeah, man. They're good. Detectors of. Of pure and Evil. And babies.
A
And babies.
B
Yeah. If a baby starts crying around someone, that's a bad sign, you know?
A
It's good to know, man.
B
Yeah.
A
No, for real, babies don't cry around me. So I think I'm blessed.
B
You have good energy then, man. It's from your diet, probably.
A
And dogs love me too, so I'm good.
B
I think you not eating processed meat is helping your spirituality levels because apparently that's a bad, like, thing on your spiritual side. If you eat poor quality meat, you.
A
Can just feel it after the first meal. Huh? You eat the big meal of poor quality meat. See how you feel versus eating a big meal of, like, delicious watermelon or whatever you feel. It's just the energetic hit. Right.
B
There was a big reason why you switched over to the start, the energy side of things.
A
That's what kept me going. Yeah, that's what. That's what made me maintain. So I switched over just to get, like, a quick result of, like, clearing my skin. Once I got that result, I was feeling so damn good. Little things, bro, used to piss me off like crazy. I was the kind of guy who'd break my skateboard, snap my pencil, break plates, and like, I got. I punched the wall. I got. I used to stand.
B
So you had temper issues?
A
Oh, yeah, yeah, big time. Learned that from someone else in my family, but major temper issues. And when I got on fruit, nothing got under my skin anymore. Like, if I took a wrong turn while driving, I was like, oh, it's all good. Someone said something nasty to me, I'm like, oh, it's just them. Like, I got. I became so chill on fruit because I got rid of all that toxic energy.
B
Wow.
A
My whole personality changed.
B
You do seem very mellow, very laid back.
A
Pretty mellow. Pretty late. Yeah, but it wasn't always that way, bro. I used to be the guy that got pissed.
B
Damn. I can't picture that with you.
A
You should play game pool with me. If I up an easy shot, I might get pretty pissed. Yeah, just for a second. Just for a second.
B
Pool is your game.
A
I just started playing pool and I love it.
B
I feel like that's a lost game these days.
A
It's so you play?
B
No, no, but I feel, like, so fun, bro. It's not as commonly played as it used to be.
A
You played darts?
B
I love darts.
A
Yes, you love darts. You love pool.
B
Darts and cornhole are my cornhole.
A
Yeah. Okay. And you like mini golf, putting?
B
I'm all right. I'm tall, so the. The things are never my height or whatever. The clubs. But it's all right. I'm competitive with anything.
A
Cool. Let's. Let's play game of pool sometime.
B
Yeah. Anything athletic. I'm down. Like pickle ball.
A
Cool.
B
I'd be curious to see how athletic you are, given your diet.
A
Ah. I'm down, bro. Let's do it.
B
You think you could keep up with me?
A
100%.
B
Let's hit the sauna after this.
A
Let's do it.
B
You think you can last 30 minutes?
A
Yeah.
B
Easy. Okay.
A
Easy.
B
I've never met someone that outlasted me in there.
A
I'll do it. No problem.
B
We got to record this.
A
Me up.
B
I love it. I saw on your Instagram you haven't put a phone next to your head since you were 16.
A
A phone? Yeah. No, I just. Audio speaker or put it down and I talk. Ideally, I'm not even holding it.
B
So when you're in the public place, you still do that?
A
Yeah. What? I just. I got a little stand for it, too, to make it easy so I can talk like that.
B
Okay.
A
And like, why don't you want to touch that thing, bro? It's on airplane mode right now. If it's on my pockets on airplane mode. If it's near me, it's on airplane mode.
B
You sleep next to it?
A
Hell, no. It's out of my house, out of my bedroom. I used to have a sign on my door saying, no phone in the room.
B
So when girls come over, girls come over.
A
They know it's the rule.
B
Wow. So they got to leave their phone.
A
They're not on their phone.
B
It's like an NDA.
A
Yeah.
B
That's a private kingdom.
A
A phoneless room.
B
Yeah. We got a lot of funny comments on that video, dude.
A
Which one?
B
The one where you've had sex 2,000 times but only finished 50.
A
Oh, yeah. Yeah. My ex hit me up after that. And she's like. She's like. Yeah. Now they think about it with. With me. I was with her for, like, two years. She's like, with me, you only finished, like, seven times.
B
Wow. In two years.
A
Yeah.
B
And you were probably having sex, like, almost every day.
A
Every other day.
B
Yeah. That's impressive. A lot of people were doubting it, but I could see it.
A
It's just an intention, which most people don't have.
B
It's discipline.
A
If you have the intention, it can become possible. If you don't have the intention, which most people don't have, it's never going to happen. You can every time.
B
Yeah.
A
Like, who goes on pornhub.com for example? And like, I'm not going to come. Nobody does that. But you could. That could be your intention.
B
Right.
A
Same with sex. You could have sex with the intention that tonight or today. Not going to come.
B
I tried incorporating some of the techniques you taught afterwards and it didn't work. I think I need to.
A
Let's see if you have memorized. What are all the techniques?
B
So the first one was don't clench your butt cheeks. Second one was don't tell yourself you're gonna finish. What was the third one? You gave four, actually, I forget the other two.
A
What were the focus on your breath.
B
Oh, breath.
A
And focus on purely giving her pleasure. It's not for you.
B
Right. So I think I didn't do the last two.
A
Okay. Yeah. It should be just for her. And then when you start to feel really good, you just bring attention to breath.
B
Yeah. I did try the butt cheek one. It helped a little bit for sure. And I started doing Kegels. So when I pee, I stop in midstream. Yeah.
A
Yeah.
B
Used to do that too. Yeah. I don't know if that helps.
A
But you. You rarely even need to get to that level or that. Yeah, that level of squeezing. If you're just focusing on her and focusing on your breath and the intention is there.
B
Yeah. It's an important skill to have because a lot of guys bust in a minute. So if they can last longer.
A
Oh, yeah, bro. I didn't realize how big of an issue was until I started talking about it with people. There's no way even my friends doubt me. There's no way he can last that long. And then they meet my girlfriend or legit. It's so surprising to me, but I guess I remember when I first started, it was difficult. I. I didn't know if it was possible either, but I just tried every single time. Try every single time. And failed the first few times, but got the hang of it.
B
Yeah, Well, a lot of guys have issues right now. I don't know if it's from porn or something, but they just can't last. Like, the average time is probably two minutes of out of guess. If you can.
A
Yeah. It's fascinating.
B
Girls are speaking out on it too now.
A
Speaking out about what?
B
They're really upset with the guys right.
A
Now coming too quick.
B
Yeah.
A
Especially one guy should at least make the girl come first. If he knows he's gonna come quick, make her come first.
B
I don't think most guys think like that.
A
Most guys think they're not gonna last. Most think guys think they're gonna last. Longer?
B
No, they just think they're gonna come and dip.
A
Oh, yeah. They're not even in it for her, huh?
B
Yeah.
A
Bro. I met a friend in Mexico recently, and he told me he gets so much pleasure from eating pussy that he'll eat a girl's for like eight hours.
B
Damn. It's too long, man.
A
Eight hours. He's all he wants to do and just. And some girls love it.
B
How does his tongue not get so tired? I mean.
A
Because he trains it, bro. It's a muscle.
B
How does he train it?
A
Eating, dude. For like, his favorite positions. And he gave me a few of his favorites. But one of them's interesting. One of them is like, she's upside down and her, like, legs are in there.
B
Okay.
A
And then his head is just down.
B
Wouldn't the brain just get overwhelmed from that blood going to it?
A
No, his head's just like that. Like you're eating.
B
He's literally like, yeah, but she's upside down. Isn't all the blood going to her brain?
A
I guess she's like.
B
Like sideways a little bit.
A
Yeah.
B
Damn. I don't even think that's pleasurable for the girl.
A
After six hours, they've mix it up, they switch positions. But yeah, he just says all. He loves to just eat.
B
Damn.
A
That's his thing.
B
The taste doesn't throw them off.
A
Some girls have no taste. Some girls tastes good.
B
You think so?
A
Oh, for sure.
B
Depends on what they eat, right?
A
Yeah, yeah, Depends on what they eat because I've.
B
I've smelled some weird ones.
A
Dude, do you. Do you, like, do like a little tester before you go down?
B
Yeah, you have to sniff test, right?
A
Yeah, but use your hands, right?
B
My hands?
A
Your hand will go down, like, do some finger job and then come up and just.
B
Oh, that's more casually. Yeah, that's smart. No, I do it. I do a smell test usually, but the hand test. Surprise.
A
You just smell this with your face.
B
Yeah.
A
Oh, dude, you've gone too far. You've gone too far at that point.
B
Yeah. The finger one's more discreet, though. You could kind of be low key with that 100%.
A
And then she like, yeah, I'm good.
B
Yeah. What's the ratio of like, good to bad?
A
I pretty much only had good. I think I've had one questionable one.
B
Okay. And her diet was just Carnivore diet.
A
What was it? I think she was new to the diet.
B
Okay.
A
She was detoxing.
B
Got it. So parasites were coming out.
A
Detoxing through a vat.
B
Yeah. No, it definitely matters, though. What they're eating.
A
Uhhuh.
B
Same with guys. I heard.
A
You know, that's why we load up on pineapple juice, bro.
B
Yeah, pineapple and watermelon, right?
A
I know watermelon. Pine. I know pineapple works.
B
Oh, no, Watermelon helps you stay hard.
A
Yeah, yeah. Watermelon's like nature's Viagra.
B
Yeah, but pineapple makes it, dude.
A
I didn't know that either one time. So I did Watermelon Island Watermelon for seven days. And those seven days were so hard for me not to bust. I was horny for seven days.
B
Holy crap.
A
And I was just always hard for seven days. A couple years ago, I was like 31, so I wasn't like super young, but Watermelon island, bro. Oh my God.
B
Just eating one big watermelon a day?
A
A couple.
B
Oh, two.
A
Yeah. Depends how much cardio you do.
B
Damn. That's hella sugar, right?
A
Yeah, but sugar is good, bro.
B
Fruit sugar is good.
A
Even if we were to lay out all the isolated nutrients like protein, oil, salt and sugar, those are like the main four. Right. Which would you choose to want to use as your fuel to go run an ultramarathon?
B
Probably sugar. Right? Because that's carbs.
A
Yeah, exactly. So you know, you want that to go far. You're not going to pick salt, you're not going to pick protein, you're not going to pick oil. You're gonna pick sugar, and you're gonna go, go, go, go, go. So it's obviously white. Table sugar is not the best, but it's still better than salt and oil and protein powder.
B
Wow, that's an interesting take.
A
Like you'd use it to save your life in an ultra marathon event.
B
Have you run one before?
A
Yeah. Burning man.
B
Geez.
A
There's only 50k.
B
50, 000 kilometers.
A
50. 50 kilometers.
B
Oh, 50 kilometers. Oh, yeah. Because I've run a 5k. Yeah. So that's 30 miles then.
A
Yep.
B
That's a lot.
A
It's around Burning Man. Just the loop.
B
Damn. You make it?
A
Yeah. It was three days after I did the Iron Man.
B
Okay, so you were still sore from that?
A
Yeah. And I was on fruit bro. At Burning Man. I had the Burning man diet. All I brought with me was dates, hemp seeds, and apple juice.
B
Damn.
A
I lived on those three foods for the whole Burning Man. And at the end, it was crazy. On the last day, I didn't expect this, but on the last day, three random people came up to me and they're like, hey, where's the shower? I'm like, first Guy, I'm like, I don't know where the shower is. Second guy, I'm like, I don't know where the shower is. Third person, I'm like, why does everyone ask me where the shower is? And she's like, oh, because he looks so clean. And it looks so clean because I didn't have any, like, oil and crap coming out of me. And so the dust wasn't sticking to me. So everyone else was, like, covered in dust.
B
Wow.
A
But my skin wasn't retaining the dust because there was no oil for it to stick onto.
B
Was it oil or was it sweat that it was sticking to? Maybe you just weren't sweating. You were sweating.
A
I was running. Yeah. It was just, like, the oil. Interesting, but that was fascinating. Diet was super clean. Body was super clean on the outside.
B
Wow. You were so clean, people thought you showered.
A
Yeah.
B
That is pretty nuts.
A
You've been a burning man.
B
No. Should I?
A
Yeah. You love it, bro.
B
People just do psychedelics there and listen to music, right?
A
They hang out, they chat, they trade. Everything's for trade. Nobody buys anything, really.
B
So it's like bartering.
A
Yeah.
B
Well, I would go just for that. Dude, I love bartering.
A
Yeah, you go up some, be like, yo, I got two coconuts. What you got for me?
B
Yeah, that's. See, that's my. My style right there.
A
So cool.
B
That's a lost art. Bartering, trading.
A
Yeah, I traded a bunch of different stuff, bro. At the. Last night, I had, like, a joint, and I was, like, quitting weed, so I traded a joint for a bike.
B
Mmm.
A
That was cool.
B
Trade. Holy crap.
A
And then after. After a while, I didn't need the bike anymore, so I traded the bike for. What did I trade it for? Like a flashlight or something I actually needed.
B
Okay.
A
When I was running Ultra, people were, like, donating stuff to me, so here, have an apricot. Have a. I didn't have socks as. Almost like. Here, have some socks.
B
You have socks during the race?
A
No, just bare feet and shoes, bro.
B
Dude, you probably had the worst blisters of all time.
A
That's bad.
B
Oh, my gosh. I can't even walk without. Actually, I'm trying to switch from socks.
A
Get out of socks?
B
No, I'm trying to switch to linen.
A
Oh, like, no more cotton?
B
Yeah, no. Polyester, mainly, but yeah, cotton is pretty low frequency, too.
A
How about hemp?
B
Yeah, hemp. I bought some hemp clothing.
A
Linen clothing. Like, lasts a lifetime, I heard.
B
Yeah, Yeah, I just bought some.
A
I would. I should only wear hemp.
B
I feel good. I mean, I'M wearing linen under this and. Yeah, linen boxers and stuff.
A
Cool.
B
I feel a lot better. But it could be just mental. Who knows? Polyester is definitely a no though. Yeah, that shit's basically plastic.
A
Someone did like a video where they showed the animation of the human body and the energy it gives off when it's wearing polyester versus when it's wearing something natural.
B
Really?
A
And showed like the energy was much bigger when it was wearing something natural and the energy was much more confined when it was wearing synthetic.
B
Sh. I'd love to see that video cuz I. I'm all about data and studies.
A
Cool.
B
Although I like, I definitely feel better. I just don't know how to quantify it.
A
Yeah, there's animations showing that like. Have you heard of curling photography?
B
No.
A
Curling photography is so dope, bro. You can take a picture of an organic apple. Then you could take a picture of a conventional apple that's been cooked or something. And you can see the electromagnetic field around each of them. And the organic raw apple is vibing so high the electrons are going like really? And the cooked conventional apples, just dead. And they took these pictures with cooked raw broccoli. Cooked and raw mushrooms. Just conventional tomatoes versus organic tomatoes. Both of them are raw. And you can photograph the magnetic fields of these foods.
B
Holy crap.
A
You can do it with people too. People are feeling very, very grateful and excited versus very, very angry and depressed. You can, you can visualize it. So it'd be cool to get that same Kirlian photography of somebody wearing polyester versus hemp.
B
Yeah, it would be. And that is fascinating. So it is true then that when you cook the food, it reduces the nutrients.
A
Lifeless, bro.
B
Wow.
A
Take a seed, a raw seed, Plant it. What happens?
B
Gross.
A
Yeah. If it's well watered, good soil. Yeah. Cook that seed, plant it. What happens?
B
It doesn't grow.
A
It doesn't grow. It's dead. You've killed it. If you want to kill something, what do you do? You put it in fire. It doesn't add life to it, it reduces the life.
B
Interesting. People do it for taste, but they're not realizing that it's.
A
They do it for taste and digestibility. It's hard to digest a raw pumpkin. Much easier to digest a cooked pumpkin. But if I can't digest it raw in its. In that physical, in that solid state, I like to just juice it. Like carrots. Carrots are hard to digest raw. So I juice them, drink the carrot juice. Perfect digestion.
B
Interesting.
A
Same with broccoli. I don't touch broccoli. Or cauliflower. But if it's juiced, I'd much rather drink that.
B
Oh, you don't eat raw broccoli.
A
Oh. At one time I had a big meal. I was like, I'm going to make a big meal of this raw broccoli, raw cauliflower, sat down, I'm like, all right, this is going to be an enjoyable dinner. Terrible gutache. Try it. Nobody does it, but if they do, if they try it once, they're never gonna do it again.
B
Wow.
A
If I can't make a meal of something, I don't even want to eat it.
B
So I gotta chill with the microwave then, Bro.
A
Microwave. If you microwave water and then you let it cool so now it's room temperature, and then you water plants with it, the plants don't grow.
B
Holy.
A
You've killed the water.
B
That's crazy.
A
You boil water, you let it cool, you water the plants, it grows. But microwaved water, the plants won't grow.
B
So what's the way to warm up food then?
A
An oven or a stove?
B
Okay. Takes longer, but I'll start doing that.
A
Five, ten minutes.
B
Yeah. Also, the food tastes like after I microwave it. Like, it feels like it lost its flavor.
A
Probably lost everything. Completely denatures it.
B
Damn. And everyone uses microwaves.
A
Yep. You can just Google image microwaved water plants versus boiled water plants. And the microwave water plants are like, that is nuts. You put that in your body, bro. You're trying to grow your body with microwave water. No way. Wow. Think about this. If you had a little baby, a little toddlers coming off the teat, would you boil some. Would you put water in a microwave to the baby, let it cool down and give it to the baby to drink?
B
No.
A
Doing it to yourself.
B
Nuts. I'm gonna throw it out then. Yeah, no need for it.
A
It's a good place to hide money or something other than that. Yeah. Garbage.
B
Wow. What's the longest lifespan a fruitarian has had that you know of?
A
Dunno. And even if it was low, let's say. Let's just say for this conversation, let's say it's 90. I have no idea. Let's just say it's 90. That wouldn't tell me how long I could live or how long you could live because of a couple things. Number one, it's such a small data set. Like, there's hardly any fruitarians out there to begin with, so the data set's very small. Plus, I don't know how that person's upbringing was. Were they raised fruit or were they Eating crap until they were 80. How's their sleep? How's their relationships? How's their purpose in life? Maybe they have no purpose. They're feeling depressed, they die at night because they have no purpose. So many factors at play. You need a large data set and try to keep everything equal, which is very difficult to do. So I think the best you can do is just use your brain and ask yourself, what's the healthiest thing to do in every area of life? What's the healthiest way to sleep? What's the healthiest way to drink water? What's the healthiest way to eat? What's the healthiest way to go about the day and then expect the best results from that that your genetics could possibly give you.
B
Right.
A
Keeping in mind that you've probably had a history with drug use, perhaps, or a lot of stressful times in your childhood or whatever that may have shortened your eventual lifespan.
B
Yeah, I just had a brain scan done, and I had some childhood trauma, so I wonder if that affected my life, my lifespan.
A
See that trauma on the scan?
B
Yeah.
A
No way.
B
Yeah, it shows up white. I'll get you on Dr. Amen in LA.
A
Can you pinpoint it back to something?
B
I was trying to think if it was, like, a specific moment, but I think it was just a compilation of parental, like, verbal abuse. But it wasn't, like, a specific thing. You know what I mean?
A
So it's like a region of the brain or different white parts around the brain.
B
For me, it was just one region. Some people have trauma everywhere, different parts, but mine was just sent in the center, so.
A
So now when you meditate, you can focus on it.
B
Yeah, well, I don't meditate. I need to start doing that. But, yeah, I'm gonna do hyperbaric oxygen chamber three times a week starting next week.
A
Wow.
B
He said that will help. And then I'm doing neurofeedback after our episode.
A
Hyperbaric time chamber. Yeah, hyperbaric time chamber. Thinks I'm dragon balls. Hyperbaric oxygen chamber. So you're sitting in a chamber and you're just breathing normally for an hour?
B
Yeah, it's just full of oxygen.
A
Interesting.
B
Yeah.
A
Have you done it before?
B
No, have you?
A
No, but I've done breath work, intense breath work three times where you. Just for 30 minutes. And you need a guide to keep reminding you to breathe, otherwise you forget. But for 30 minutes, you just go maximal inhale through your mouth, maximum exhale through your mouth. It's very simple.
B
Just 30 minutes?
A
Yeah, it's cardio like it feels like cardio.
B
That's a long time to be doing that, bro.
A
You trip.
B
Yeah.
A
Three times I did it three times. I tripped.
B
Holy shit.
A
And I've gone to conferences, I've read a lot of books. I've hired coaches, I've talked to some really cool people. I've gotten good insights from people, bro. The insights I got from these three sessions, life changing, really. You deal with stuff comes up that you never thought of before. You start piecing things together that you never pieced together before. You can start crying for no reason. You're not happy, you're not sad, your body's just crying. And I asked these, the teachers, I'm like, why am I crying if I'm not happy or sad? There's like. That's released trauma getting. That's stored trauma getting released.
B
Dang. I need to try that. Yeah, bro, that's fascinating.
A
But it, like I said, it helps to have a guide.
B
Yeah, I wouldn't do that a lot.
A
You're going to chill after like five minutes. You're like, okay, I'm good. But you need someone to keep pushing you. So I've also led circles like that. I got a group together, my company, my team. I got everyone together, led them through that. Four out of the 10 people we had started crying.
B
Holy crap.
A
And the other person, one person started laughing hysterically. Just breathing, that's all you need.
B
Yeah. Breath work is so fascinating, man. There's some interesting techniques, and that's the.
A
Simplest one I know of. It's intense, but it's like the insights you get, the benefit you get. You're like, that was worth five years of therapy right there.
B
Damn.
A
One session.
B
Yeah, I saw one on Instagram where you breathe once a minute for 60 minutes.
A
So you inhale and hold it.
B
You inhale for 30 and an exhale for 30.
A
Oh, cool.
B
So you do that. Yeah, One breath a minute for 60 minutes.
A
Oh, an hour. That's sick.
B
And you start hallucinating.
A
I would love to.
B
Yo, I'm down, bro.
A
Have you ever tried just staring in a mirror for an hour?
B
No. That sounds difficult though.
A
Apparently you also start tripping.
B
I think you would, because your body's confused, right? Yeah.
A
And apparently it works too, if you just stare at someone else for an hour.
B
Really?
A
Yeah.
B
Start hallucinating.
A
You just stare at them. You don't look at. You can't break eye contact.
B
Yeah, I've never stared at more than maybe 20 seconds in. In general. So an hour sounds difficult.
A
Do it with your next girl.
B
Yeah.
A
Just stare at it, bro.
B
See her soul. At that point, she'll see your soul. I saw you use lemons and limes as deodorant.
A
Oh yeah, bro. You dig? Huh?
B
I dig, yeah.
A
Some. Someone saw me use buy a lemon the other day and like, oh, what are you going to? What sort of drinker you make with the lemon? What sort of food are you gonna make with lemon? I'm like, no, no, this is for my pits. So if you use half a lemon in the morning on your armpits, the rest of your entire day, you will not smell.
B
Wow.
A
Even if you break a sweat, the. The acids from the lemon or something in the lemon just kills all of the stinky bacteria.
B
I'm gonna try because I use these natural deodorants right now and they're not cutting it. No, because I play basketball and I'm pretty active.
A
So you can, you can either buy the fresh lemon, which I'd recommend, although they have a shelf life, or you could just buy the bottle of pre made lemon juice, you know, and use that. Limes work as well. This the risk though is you don't want to put a bunch on and it like runs on your body and then you get sun on you. You don't want sun to make contact.
B
Why?
A
It can burn your skin.
B
Oh yeah.
A
So don't go tanning like this after. Okay, so try to put it on and then put a shirt on.
B
Keep a shirt on. Yeah. You're repping the school today.
A
Yeah, bro. Big school fan.
B
You launch your own community there.
A
Multiple.
B
Nice.
A
Multiple. You're in school.
B
I'm not, but I've dabbled with the platform because I see people making a killing on there and I think it's interesting.
A
It's the best, bro. I went to the second page of Google to try and find like the best membership site. Couldn't find anywhere.
B
And.
A
And it was only after a few months of searching for the best membership site, I finally got an email from school saying the wait is over. And I forgot. I signed up for the wait list like a year prior. So they announced it. Wait is over. Come in. I created a community right away. I was like, this is perfect. It's got a community feed right there. It's got a classroom right there. It's got a calendar feed right there. It's awesome. So it's got DMs. It's so clean. Yeah, it's. And I recommend everybody check out the competitors. I recommend people check out Circle and Kajabi and Mighty Networks and Podia and thinkific and teachable and all these competitors. And then once you've created a 14 day trial on all those, create a 14 day trial in school and see which one you like the best. Everyone is gonna use school.
B
So user friendly. Plus the people behind it. I like Sam and Alex. That's a deadly duo.
A
Deadly, bro. Sam is the like the Steve Wozniak just working away, making it sweet. And Alex is pumping it and getting some awesome case studies.
B
Yeah. It's cool to see Sam take a step back, be more like out of the scene. Because he was the face of YouTube for a bit, bro.
A
I binged all his old stuff.
B
I watched his course. I paid five GS for it. I think Quantum or the organizing course or whatever.
A
I think it was Accelerator.
B
Might have been. It was like five years ago.
A
Yeah. Yeah. Watch all this stuff. And he's so different now. He's so different now. And he's. I've been hanging out school headquarters recently here, there, right before this. And he's a jokester now, bro.
B
Really?
A
He's super funny.
B
Wow.
A
And once a month he comes to Vegas for the school games championship award ceremony or whatever. And even people at the school games championship, they're like, dude, Sam is just cracking jokes left, right and center. He used to never be like that. He used to be so serious.
B
Sounds like he had an ayahuasca trip somewhere.
A
Oh, bro.
B
Along the way.
A
Yeah. Super funny guy. Now. You'd never expect that from watching his videos.
B
Yeah. I could never.
A
So serious.
B
So serious back then.
A
Yep. It's almost like he was angry in a way.
B
Yeah. For real. His focus was intimidating back then.
A
Yeah. He's still super focused, but he's very. He very much values user input. So very often, almost daily he's asking people, what do you think? What do you think? What do you. That's his favorite question. What do you think?
B
It's important. It's not to lose touch with your community.
A
Yeah. And he's in the DMs with all the users and just like, hey, what do you think of this? What? How could we do this better?
B
It's very important because there's. There's talks with ClickFunnels kind of losing touch with our community.
A
Big time.
B
I see it on Facebook every day now.
A
Big time, bro. The fact that they launched ClickFunnels 2.0 a year late and then once they launched it, it was terrible. And they made everyone using ClickFunnels 1.0, they forced them to pay to upgrade and they Stopped providing support for ClickFunnels 1.0. The worst play in ClickFunnels history. Worst play in, like, software history, bro. It's terrible.
B
And now go. High levels. Eating at their market share, huh? I think they're in some legal battles right now, actually.
A
I can imagine.
B
Yeah, it's tough, man. One thing I incorporated from you was your audiobook walks started last week, and I am learning a lot.
A
A minute a day is a book a year. 60 minutes a day. How many books a year?
B
60.
A
60 books a year, bro. 60 books a year. You become so well read.
B
So one hour a day of walking.
A
30 minutes out, 30 minutes back, that we have no choice. I like that you just walk out 30 minutes.
B
Yeah. You're also getting 10,000 steps doing that.
A
Too easy. Yeah. Audiobook walks, bro. Huge hack.
B
I'm already on my third book, dude. Oh, yeah? In a week.
A
Using Audible or Spotify.
B
Audible 2x speed. Oh, Spotify is audiobooks, bro.
A
That's the hack.
B
Really?
A
I used to use Audible. I still do because all my stuff's there. But almost every audiobook you can buy on Audible, you can get on Spotify complete for free.
B
What?
A
Yep.
B
Dude, that's good to know because I just refunded two of my Audible books. Sucked because I'm out of credits, so.
A
You refunded them?
B
Yeah.
A
Why don't you just buy more credits?
B
I'm cheap. I use the one free monthly one. I don't buy them.
A
Damn, bro. No, but Spotify, I'll hook you up.
B
Yeah, Spotify. There's also a good app called Hoop La.
A
Hoop La?
B
Yeah. Connects with your local library. You get eight books a month.
A
There you go.
B
Yeah, so I use that too, because Audible, you get through one in day or two.
A
Yeah, I wouldn't do. I wouldn't do 2x speed, personally. I would do 1.2x speed.
B
I'll. I'll cut back because some books are definitely too fast on 2x. Like, I'm like, what the fuck's going on?
A
And what I realized too, bro, is that sometimes it's less about getting through the book. It's less about finishing the book and being like, okay, what's the next one? And it's more about marinating in the vibe of the book, in which case you might even want to listen to it, like 0.9 speed, or listen to.
B
It on repeat, depending on the book.
A
Yeah, because it's just the vibe the book gives you. Like, when you read a certain book, you feel a certain way, and therefore you're Starting to manifest those certain results. If you're like, okay, finish that book. Next one. You're changing your vibe now, but what if you were to just stay in that vibe?
B
True. Yeah. I'll lower it to 15 on my walk today and see how I feel.
A
Cool. Depends if it's fiction or non fiction, right?
B
Yeah, I only do non fiction, but cool. You do fiction?
A
Rarely. Fountainhead was incredible and Atlas Shrug was incredible. Big ones. You heard of them?
B
No, but I'll test it out. I've just. I like learning, so I don't know if I'd like fiction as much.
A
Fiction is more, for me is about the vibe. It really puts you in the vibe.
B
Yeah. If I'm trying to get away from life, maybe, yeah.
A
Are you just trying to, like, feel differently? Like you. If you listen to Harry Potter, bro, you will feel like you're in Hogwarts. You look at sticks as if they're wands.
B
I feel that.
A
You look at broomsticks. Like, I wonder if I could fly that. Like, it just changes your perception of reality. It's definitely a bit of an escape, but it gives. Gives life a lot of color.
B
That makes sense. Ted, where can people find your school community and what else you got going on?
A
People can find my school community by just typing in. Ted Carr S K O O L on Google. I'll pop up.
B
C A R R. Right?
A
Yep.
B
What else you're up to?
A
Find me on Instagram. Rutarian post on stories there Too often?
B
Yeah. I love your stories, man. We'll link it below.
A
Cool.
B
Thanks for coming on, man.
A
Cheers.
B
Thanks for watching Part two, guys. Let us know which one.
Digital Social Hour: Can Talking to Your Food Really Change Its Energy? | Ted Carr DSH #732
Host: Sean Kelly
Guest: Ted Carr
Release Date: September 17, 2024
In episode #732 of Digital Social Hour, host Sean Kelly welcomes Ted Carr, a prominent fruitarian and social media influencer, to delve into the intriguing concept of how interacting with food can influence its energy and, by extension, our well-being. The conversation spans a wide array of topics, including diet, energy management, lifestyle practices, and personal development techniques. Below is a comprehensive summary of the key discussions, insights, and conclusions drawn during the episode.
Ted Carr reintroduced himself to listeners, highlighting his journey as a fruitarian and his active presence on Instagram. Sean Kelly initiates the conversation by referencing Ted's recent Instagram activities, such as his blood test results, which revealed unexpectedly high levels of testosterone and vitamin B12, despite his strict fruit-based diet.
Ted credits his robust health to his regimen, which includes squatting to boost testosterone, quality sleep tracked with an Oura ring, and avoiding excessive cardio that can negatively impact hormone levels.
Additionally, Ted mentions his commitment to the "no fap" practice and minimal cardio, which further supports his hormonal balance.
The discussion transitions to Ted's fruitarian diet and the common misconceptions surrounding nutrient deficiencies, particularly vitamin B12. Ted explains how his body synthesizes B12 through intestinal bacteria and the minimal amounts he obtains from unwashed fruits.
Sean expresses skepticism about Ted's method of not washing fruits, raising concerns about potential parasites and pesticides. Ted reassures him by emphasizing that he consumes organic produce, mitigating these risks.
They also discuss the importance of organic produce in maintaining health and preventing exposure to harmful substances.
Ted shares an experiment he conducted to test the impact of positive and negative energy on fruit. He separated two groups of unripe bananas, subjected one to positive affirmations and the other to negative ones. The results were striking, with the positively influenced bananas ripening beautifully, while the negatively influenced ones remained bruised and inedible.
Sean relates this phenomenon to his personal experience with his pets, noting how their presence can affect plant vitality.
This segment underscores the potential influence of human emotions and intentions on the quality and energy of food.
The conversation shifts to sustainable living practices, including gardening and composting. Ted recounts his experience with a compost pile that inadvertently propagated countless tomato plants due to the abundant seeds in the compost.
They debate the merits of various fabrics, concluding that natural fibers like linen and hemp are superior to synthetic ones like polyester in terms of energy and sustainability.
Ted emphasizes the importance of choosing sustainable and energy-efficient materials, both in clothing and other aspects of daily life.
Ted introduces his platform, "School," a community-focused tool designed to foster engagement and collaboration among users. He compares it favorably against other platforms like Circle, Kajabi, and Mighty Networks, praising its user-friendly interface and robust features such as community feeds, classrooms, and calendars.
Sean echoes the sentiment, praising the platform's responsiveness and the personable nature of its creators, Sam and Alex. They discuss the importance of maintaining a strong community presence, contrasting it with the perceived disconnect of platforms like ClickFunnels.
The duo explores various personal development techniques that enhance mental and physical well-being. Ted shares his experiences with intense breath work, highlighting its profound impact on releasing stored trauma and fostering emotional healing.
They also discuss the effectiveness of incorporating audiobooks into daily routines, with Sean advocating for "audiobook walks" as a means to combine physical activity with continuous learning.
Ted recommends utilizing free resources like Spotify and library-connected apps like Hoop La to access a wide range of audiobooks without incurring additional costs.
A candid segment unfolds as Ted and Sean discuss sexual health, particularly focusing on techniques to manage ejaculation and enhance sexual experiences. Ted shares methods such as breath control, focusing on a partner's pleasure, and Kegel exercises to prolong sexual activity.
Sean mentions the societal shifts with more women speaking out about rapid ejaculation issues, emphasizing the growing need for such practices.
As the episode nears its conclusion, Ted promotes his online presence, encouraging listeners to join his "School" community and follow him on Instagram for more insights and updates.
Sean lauds Ted's dedication to fostering a supportive and engaged community, reinforcing the episode's overarching theme of cultivating positive energy and sustainable practices in all aspects of life.
This episode of Digital Social Hour offers listeners a deep dive into the interplay between diet, energy, and personal well-being through Ted Carr's unique fruitarian perspective. From the scientific underpinnings of nutrient absorption to the spiritual and emotional effects of positive affirmations on food, Ted provides a holistic view of health and sustainability. Additionally, practical tips on community building, personal development, and sexual health techniques enrich the conversation, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in enhancing their lifestyle through mindful practices and intentional living.
