You have a talent for language. You describe the psychology of drinking really well. I work in healthcare I notice that alcohol intake is rarely discussed in regards to overall health, but should be. Thanks for sharing you’re personal views!
Awesome job, Pete! My last doctor lab said I have beginnings of fatty liver. They said to eat less, low sugar, low sodium, diets for a year and recheck. I’ve lost 30lbs, down from 270lbs, just from diet. Haven’t incorporated more exercise yet, but plan on more to get down to 220 or little lower. My last drink of alcohol was Dec 2022. Love my scotch, but being a good boy. I want to be healthy for my wife and daughter. Feel much better for it already.
It's all about health span for me. Living a life of good health rather than being sick the last 15-20 years. That's just the living dead. Nice to see you are on the path. Kudos.
I was finally able to stop drinking around the age of 26. I had essentially been on a rampage since high school straining relationships with my family members, dropping out of college, losing jobs and otherwise embarrassing myself. I had just never been the sort of person who could just have one drink and call it a night, and I never understood the people who could. Every time I drank or used the goal was always to get obliterated, and if for some reason I could not do that I was not a happy camper. Needless to say I hit rock bottom eventually and found my way to the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous and managed to stop drinking, one day at a time. After that other things came to me naturally. I ate better, excersized, and created a more sustainable way of life. If anyone here believes Alcohol or drugs might be contributing to an unhealthy and unmanageable way of life for themselves, I encourage you to start there. We do recover
Been on a similar trajectory myself. Wish someone had come out with pearls of wisdom like "just enough carbs to keep you shittin properly" earlier in my life as I might have listened to that sort of advice!
I've been reading some comments and realised I'm on the other end. I've lost 10-15 kilos since 2018. That may sound fine until you know that I was between 70 and 75kgs, and I'm 170cm tall. So now I float between 58 and 60 which is far too thin for my size. Plus, I've been living a pretty sedentary lifestyle, drinking four days out of 14, and haven't been eating properly. I have just recently started focusing on making sure I eat, and at the very least, spend more time outside than I do inside staring at a computer screen or sleeping. I'll be 60 in a few months, so I figure there's no time like the present to get fit and healthy again. Thanks for posting this, Pete. It has given me a small push along to get my shit together. Cheers.
Totally agree with the no alcohol thing. Alcohol seems to keep the liver busy when it could be doing other good things for your body. Great tips all around, and thanks for sharing!
My wife and I love taking a peek into your and trees life. It’s been a few years now and we are now in our mid twenties and really appreciate said peek as a pretty awesome example. I also love all the gear/knife content always.
Solid work bro! Any form of fasting that gets you into a state of ketosis is the fountain of youth in our modern day sedentary life. Balance is everything when modifying our body composition. Huberman is a true legend. Knowledge and basic understanding of biochemistry is the golden ticket to a healthy lifestyle. Keep it up.
All sorts of interesting things happen to your face when you get old. Since I've hit my 60's, my eyebrows have gone wild. Proper Gandalf eyebrows I have, if I don't mow them once in a while. I got the yeti ears too, they're nice and warm in the winter.
@@jasonscheffler9813 THIS. If I don't keep that shit shaved or waxed my back looks like a silverback gorilla, like eerily exact. Before my mid 50's my back was smooth as glass.
I've been doing intermittent fasting as well. I sometimes even go from dinner one day to dinner the next, but most days I eat a light lunch just to hold me over to dinner, then a good dinner. I've cut out all sugary foods and processed food. Nothing I eat comes out of a box or can. Only fresh whole foods. I've also been exercising too. I'm feeling better at 64 yrs old then I did when I was 40. I've lost 50 lbs, and I've been able to reverse my type 2 diabetes. Becoming an insulin dependent diabetic was the wake up call for me. I decided I was NOT willing to take insulin shots for the rest of my life, and poke my finger 3 or 4 times a day. You're doing great Pete. On the right track for sure. Stay strong brother!
Wonderful work, Pete! I just have two things: 1. Just an explanation on alcohol and sleep. Alcohol is a downer, and your body resists the downer while it's on your system by trying to pep you up. When the alcohol finishes metabolizing, your body is still in pep mode, so you end up wide awake in the middle of the night. 2. Your upper body and core workouts can be accomplished quite well by exactly what you're doing. So great! Buuuuuut resistance training on the lower body via squats and deadlifts will not only build those muscle groups better than any other body weight exercise, but they cause your body to make more testosterone, which is very necessary as men age. For example I noticed my leg hair getting thiner and lighter colored in my late thirties. After reincorporating squats and deadlifts (not just cycling) into my workouts, my leg hair has returned to what it was like in my 20s. And I'm now in my mid forties. Take it or leave it, just my two cents. Thanks for making this video!
i have to say, there have often been snippets of cooking in the knife-testing videos, and it has always looked like delicious, _proper_ stuff. i've come away hungry on more than one occasion.
Right there with you Pete. I recently dropped about 15lbs over about a month. I had gone to the doctor and my blood pressure was quite high, like 150/100. Luckily my Dr was great and shot me straight and wanted me to get in better shape before just prescribing blood pressure meds. His suggestion was cut back on my salt a bit, eat more fresh fruits and veg, and portion control. Plus some regular exercise didn't hurt either. But seriously, once I started really paying attention to my eating and my hunger and appetite, I realized I was regularly just eating way more food (and less healthy food) than I NEED to eat. So not only did I drop my meal portions to about 1/2 of what I'd normally put on a plate, but I also cut out breakfast all together. One of the big keys for me was also eating SLOWER so that I didn't accidentally eat right until I felt FULL... because by that point you've OVER eaten. I can eat 1/2 the amount of food I used to eat, just slower now, and still feel completely satisfied with my meal. Went back to the Dr after a month and I'd lost 15lbs and my blood pressure is now 120/70! That was it! No crazy hardcore diet or kill-yourself levels of exercise. Just being more mindful of what my body actually needs and choosing more healthy and fresh options took me from 230lbs to 215lbs and my blood pressure from Hypertension Stage 2 to NORMAL in a month. The best part is, because this wasn't some hardcore diet, I have no problem sustaining this as it's now just my new normal way of eating. For exercise I just got a cheap stationary bike and do like 12 miles every other day or so on it in the evenings while I listen to a record or watch TH-cam. Nothing killer, just something to burns some calories, get a bit of cardio, and just keep your body feeling good. Oh my other big thing was cutting out excessive sweets, like my previously raging Coca Cola addiction. Now I have a soda like MAYBE once a week at most compared to 1 a day prior.
I saw/heard that doctor's podcast on alcohol, a great education on the topic...highly recommend it. The spirits industry is very powerful and the reality of how alcohol effects the body/mind has been hidden until the internet became widely available.
Cheers ! I’m on a similar journey right now as well. Cutting out preventable things, increasing exercise, and watching the diet a bit more. Thanks for the share
I am currently on an adventure to lose about 45 pounds when I graduated high school I was about 165 LB, after getting married and then having kids I got up to 265 pounds. Right now I am down to 223 pounds And my goal is to get at least down to 175 pounds. I absolutely agree with you. One of the biggest steps for me was just to stop drinking alcohol. My wife stopped drinking and out of respect for her. I also stopped drinking and I have seen an amazing change in my life due to that. like you I never really had an issue with drinking, but it had become a little bit of a habit. I think it’s fantastic. You’re taking care of your body and your mind.
Good video Pete! I'm nearly 70 and have lost 25 lbs in the past 3 months doing basically what you have been doing. Another 20 and I'm good. I packed on mucho weight sitting on my ass all day long doing dentistry. Now I'm retired so it's ME time. The intermittent fasting is easy as I am sleeping for most of that time. Cutting out the sugar and the alcohol seems to be the biggest factor for losing the weight. I also try to walk my border collies 5-8 miles daily for exercise. Good for you for figuring this out before you get old and useless like me!!
Hi Pete, for me similar process. We call it here in the Netherlands: change your lifestyle. Do not eat too less or you get hungry and will eat the bad stuff in the evening.
Great stuff as always Pete. For me it was almost as simple as kicking sugar and riding my bicycle instead of taking the car on short trips. The sugar was a real game changer. I have a huge sweet tooth but sugar is just the worst stuff, so I just went cold turkey on it. Feel better, look better, sleep better…everything’s better! I miss my cakes and bickies but I’d never go back to it now.
Great video as always man, I find this stuff and the lifestyle things quite interesting as well. As someone who just turned 30 that bit of introspection that I never gave myself before has been a bit of a weird but welcome experience. Keep up the awesome work Pete!
Congrats on living right. Thanks for sharing and for the helpful tips. I put on a ton of weight later on in life, and I'm seriously considering trying out your method. Just gotta break the bad habits like you said
Yeah man Cedric. Healthy and lean is a good thing . 👍 . Good job on sticking with it . I personally started feeling like shit late 40 s and made some changes about 4 years ago .
My physical condition was terrible. I am doing interval fasting and have lost over 10% of my body weight this year. I have a LONG ways to go, but absolutely improving.
Hi Pete. You are right, of course & thanks for making a video to gently point your fans (yes, we are fans) toward a more healthy lifestyle. Been subbed to you for some years so know this isnt the first time. I could stand to follow your example. Otherwise i would never watch a video like this. Thanks for making it.
Agreed, intermitent fasting keeps me in check. I try to be as low carb as possible but i do love me some pasta and bread, I think it's just about cutting out the excess which we have gotten use to.
Same here, was a pretty mild but nightly drinker for years. Stopped, sleep better, no more 2 am piss with excessive insulin going crazy in the body keeping me up after, more energy, eat less. Dropping the daily alcohol changes everything. Nice work.
I’ve also pretty much entirely stopped drinking. My social drinks these days are bitters and soda, NA beer, and my new favorite is hop water if you want that hoppy refreshing summery vibe (and zero calories!!!).
Gymnastic rings are also a great way to stay in shape at home. They are also verry affordable compared to other equipment. All you need are the rings and a tree branch or other structure to hang them over. Good job on self improvement and example for your kids.
If you haven't already, try making your scrambled eggs in the microwave. Just whip up the eggs, add or not your cheese, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. Then cook on high for a minute and thirty seconds, take out, stir, then another minute and thirty depending on how wet or dry you like your eggs. Comes out light and souffle-like. You can also poach eggs in the microwave.
I was completely 'normal' up until about my mid 40's and then the wheels fell off the metabolism, couple of chronic health issues and I was never a gym-bro kind of guy. So with the looming threat of the diabetus and other stuff I went to a dietician who basically sorted my shit out because I was a complete chimp when it came to grazing on anything around me. So the carbs ended up about 15%, no heavily processed sugars, the rest is basically protein and fibre, that and I do make the point of going to physio with all the other decrepit, broken people each week and keep as active as I can. The thing I found out this year is that- this is my life now. It's just going to have be like this for the rest of it or I'll die really quickly At least you addressed it early in life and the 30's are some of the best periods of your life to live and if you can stretch that out for as long as you can, the better off you'll be
Great video, also good rutine all i Can recomend (maybe you are already doing it, just it didint make it to a video) add pull ups to your work out to cover rest of the muscles Also those hand stand push-up are crazy hard, you are strong!
Actual fast food is wildly expensive right now and grocery fast food has always been more expensive in my experience. I mean you get a 2 lb bag of carrots for the same price you can get a 16 oz bag of chilli cheese Fritos (my cheat food a few times a year).
i was only ever a little overweight but it all fell off when i started eating more meat and less bread and grains. I eat between 12pm and 7pm and I'm not hungry outside of that unless I don't eat enough meat/cheese/eggs that day.
Appreciation on this side of the table. It's quite weird how the care some must take these days using the correct words while knives, implements, and magic requires zero cares for the clipping of certain production of birthing persons and not others. Much greater clipping awaits.
1) In the USA, the bad food's more expensive. That's a big part of why we're all fat. 2) Parmesan cheese; (or any type of cheese) don't buy pre-shredded. It has an anti-caking agent added that's no good and also robs flavor. Shred it yourself, even in advance. 3) 8:20; the trick is maintaining that. Someone once told me that the key to success in a diet is finding healthy snacks. Fruit is great. It has sugar, which is not good, but if you're eating the WHOLE fruit, it's OK; not nearly like candy or cookies. 4) Exercise. I can't even make myself do body weight exercise. For me, it has to be FUN. For solo stuff, I love cycling. Otherwise tennis or pickleball only requires one other person, (American) football, are my current faves. Get yourself a good road bike (Trek Domane in your price range) and go for it. A benefit of the bike riding is that you rarely want to knock off early. I find that once I get out there, I almost never go less than an hour.
I too fast till lunch time and have only coffee in the morning , stopped drinking alcohol except for special occasions. I lost about 25 -30 lbs , I sleep a lot better which is great. I don't exercise but I have a very physical job with keeps me in shape.
My wife does intermittent fasting. She started off eating five days out of seven then dropped to fasting just one day a week. Following Michael Mosley's system.
"Fantails" - 😳😳had to look it up (USA)...even your junk food is healthier than our junk food in America...Ours consist of carbs, sugar, & (usually) cheese (or fats of some sort)...our closest thing would be a donut (which is usually fried)...(at least here). Thanks for the insight! Appreciate the work/info you do.
Apparently keeping a keen edge and staying sharp applies to ourselves as well as knives. It is good practice to ask yourself “why?” every once in awhile. When you have no answer to why then you should keep asking yourself more questions. This should keep any problems as small problems until resolved.
Have to agree that ditching alcohol (especially beer) was probably the #1 thing that helped me drop weight. It still took me a couple of years to go from 212 lbs down to 173 lbs, but when I got rid of the booze it seemed to drop off much, much quicker.
You should check out the bioneer, he’s roughly your position in life, and he has a series on “bullet proofing” which is exercises for longevity. A lot of his content is performance focused, which I get is not your thing, but his idea of “superfunctional” is really cool. If you have a moment give him a look, I do recommend his “5 pillars of fitness” video, or like I said, his “bulletproofing” videos. Great job on the face shrink, this has gotta be one of the best health/ fitness messages I have seen in a long time 💪💪
Well done! As someone enjoying having his kids in the late 30s early 40s (sarcasm, I'm perma exhausted), I'm trying to fix this too, bout 18 months behind you on the health front though haha. Thanks for the encouragement!
Breakfast at mid day? But Maccas stops serving Mc Muffins at 10:30... Thanks for this video - I struggle, but it gives me motivation to see a normal (we won't mention the knife nerdery for ths one) guy turn it around without hours at the gym or piles or expensive supplements etc. Cheers.
If you let your pan get real nice an hot before you put the eggs in they won’t stick. I’m definitely going to follow your breakfast routing including the fasting. I’m in my early 30’s and we had our two kids young as well. Time to take care of myself again. Thanks!
Yes! you will not regret it. First thing of the day is protein. That huberman guy is a great resource for lots of health stuff without being all hippy dippy
Quitting drinking is one of the best things I’ve ever done. I run with my son while he’s on his bike every day. I just have a serious cereal addiction I can’t kick.
In my opinion cutting breakfast makes the best sense dietary wise it is full of so many variable carbs especially the quicker carbs that don't give you that much energy however having that refreshing taste in the morning with a coffee or something is something I would miss personally. But the chiselled face is worth it ;)
You have a talent for language. You describe the psychology of drinking really well. I work in healthcare I notice that alcohol intake is rarely discussed in regards to overall health, but should be. Thanks for sharing you’re personal views!
Thanks for sharing such a personal story, Pete. I'm sure it will be instructive for many people.
I misread the title & thought it said how I Shanked my face. 😂
It was a tanto, right?
Ohh. Sad face
You know how I got this smile?
Same
Have another shot...or 5.... bro....
You are not alone, and that was exactly why I clicked it. haha
“Taking a few for the team” is the absolute manliest thing one can do. Family first. Good job mate!

Funny thing about alcohol, it inhibits REM sleep and as a result you don’t rest as well as you would have without it.
Exactly. People tend to fall asleep easier after having had a couple of drinks but you definitely sleep worse.
For real, i slept like crap last night after drinking some wine... bleh
Solid work bro!

On the subject of alcohol metabolization, fructose is metabolized by the liver the same exact way as alcohol.
thanks for sharing, your honesty and openness is impressive.
i have to say, there have often been snippets of cooking in the knife-testing videos, and it has always looked like delicious, _proper_ stuff. i've come away hungry on more than one occasion.

Thanks for sharing, Pete. I'm basically doing the same thing to cure my type 2 diabetes. Good on you mate. 👍
Hi Pete, for me similar process.
We call it here in the Netherlands: change your lifestyle. Do not eat too less or you get hungry and will eat the bad stuff in the evening.
Great stuff as always Pete. For me it was almost as simple as kicking sugar and riding my bicycle instead of taking the car on short trips. The sugar was a real game changer. I have a huge sweet tooth but sugar is just the worst stuff, so I just went cold turkey on it. Feel better, look better, sleep better…everything’s better!

Sugar is nasty stuff. Tastes delicious though. Just as addicting as drugs.
Yep
Exactly. Processed sugar is insidious and they try to cram it into everything these days.
Great video as always man, I find this stuff and the lifestyle things quite interesting as well. As someone who just turned 30 that bit of introspection that I never gave myself before has been a bit of a weird but welcome experience. Keep up the awesome work Pete!
Very well spoken.
Great video Pete, I love it when you just give your always unique outlook and perspective on life man.
Congrats on living right. Thanks for sharing and for the helpful tips. I put on a ton of weight later on in life, and I'm seriously considering trying out your method. Just gotta break the bad habits like you said

Good job Pete 👍. I drank too much during Covid and have stopped completely now too.
All those manilla rope cutting tests finally paid off 🤣
Sissal
great video! thanks for your honest story!
👌👍. I’ve done the same. I’m now an OMAD, (one meal a day) and I minimise carbs. It works, but it can be hard. Good work mate!
Good on ya mate, great advice👍👍
Same here, was a pretty mild but nightly drinker for years. Stopped, sleep better, no more 2 am piss with excessive insulin going crazy in the body keeping me up after, more energy, eat less. Dropping the daily alcohol changes everything. Nice work.
Thanks for talking about how you did it. Was interested since I noticed you was bigger in your older D2 cut test.
8:45 this guy is CASUALLY pressing his entire bodyweight!!
I’ve also pretty much entirely stopped drinking. My social drinks these days are bitters and soda, NA beer, and my new favorite is hop water if you want that hoppy refreshing summery vibe (and zero calories!!!).
Thank you 👍👍
Gymnastic rings are also a great way to stay in shape at home. They are also verry affordable compared to other equipment. All you need are the rings and a tree branch or other structure to hang them over. Good job on self improvement and example for your kids.
What's the best time to eat wet bread?
If you haven't already, try making your scrambled eggs in the microwave. Just whip up the eggs, add or not your cheese, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc. Then cook on high for a minute and thirty seconds, take out, stir, then another minute and thirty depending on how wet or dry you like your eggs. Comes out light and souffle-like. You can also poach eggs in the microwave.
I was completely 'normal' up until about my mid 40's and then the wheels fell off the metabolism, couple of chronic health issues and I was never a gym-bro kind of guy. So with the looming threat of the diabetus and other stuff I went to a dietician who basically sorted my shit out because I was a complete chimp when it came to grazing on anything around me. So the carbs ended up about 15%, no heavily processed sugars, the rest is basically protein and fibre, that and I do make the point of going to physio with all the other decrepit, broken people each week and keep as active as I can.
The thing I found out this year is that- this is my life now. It's just going to have be like this for the rest of it or I'll die really quickly
At least you addressed it early in life and the 30's are some of the best periods of your life to live and if you can stretch that out for as long as you can, the better off you'll be
Thanks for the inspiration.
Inspiring men, thank you!
Great video, also good rutine all i Can recomend (maybe you are already doing it, just it didint make it to a video) add pull ups to your work out to cover rest of the muscles
Also those hand stand push-up are crazy hard, you are strong!
I quit drinking alcohol and soda pop when i went on the Atkin's diet and 20 years later i still don't drink either one.
it was a very interesting topic. thank you 👍
Actual fast food is wildly expensive right now and grocery fast food has always been more expensive in my experience. I mean you get a 2 lb bag of carrots for the same price you can get a 16 oz bag of chilli cheese Fritos (my cheat food a few times a year).
looking good, king
great 💪🏻👋🏻
thx for sharing
i was only ever a little overweight but it all fell off when i started eating more meat and less bread and grains. I eat between 12pm and 7pm and I'm not hungry outside of that unless I don't eat enough meat/cheese/eggs that day.
Thanks for this personal story. I need to get rid of 10-15kg myself but it is so damn hard to start the changes.
Appreciation on this side of the table. It's quite weird how the care some must take these days using the correct words while knives, implements, and magic requires zero cares for the clipping of certain production of birthing persons and not others. Much greater clipping awaits.
1) In the USA, the bad food's more expensive. That's a big part of why we're all fat.
2) Parmesan cheese; (or any type of cheese) don't buy pre-shredded. It has an anti-caking agent added that's no good and also robs flavor. Shred it yourself, even in advance.
3) 8:20; the trick is maintaining that. Someone once told me that the key to success in a diet is finding healthy snacks. Fruit is great. It has sugar, which is not good, but if you're eating the WHOLE fruit, it's OK; not nearly like candy or cookies.
4) Exercise. I can't even make myself do body weight exercise. For me, it has to be FUN. For solo stuff, I love cycling. Otherwise tennis or pickleball only requires one other person, (American) football, are my current faves. Get yourself a good road bike (Trek Domane in your price range) and go for it. A benefit of the bike riding is that you rarely want to knock off early. I find that once I get out there, I almost never go less than an hour.
I too fast till lunch time and have only coffee in the morning , stopped drinking alcohol except for special occasions. I lost about 25 -30 lbs , I sleep a lot better which is great. I don't exercise but I have a very physical job with keeps me in shape.
You're looking chiselled bro, well done, looking great, I've similarly transformed the last few years 🍻
Wet bread and mouse meat, got it!
My wife does intermittent fasting. She started off eating five days out of seven then dropped to fasting just one day a week. Following Michael Mosley's system.
"Fantails" - 😳😳had to look it up (USA)...even your junk food is healthier than our junk food in America...Ours consist of carbs, sugar, & (usually) cheese (or fats of some sort)...our closest thing would be a donut (which is usually fried)...(at least here).
Thanks for the insight! Appreciate the work/info you do.
Awesome ! You can get quite jacked with a short workout though. Good push-ups, pull ups, a bit of kettlebell work and you're good to go.
Apparently keeping a keen edge and staying sharp applies to ourselves as well as knives. It is good practice to ask yourself “why?” every once in awhile. When you have no answer to why then you should keep asking yourself more questions. This should keep any problems as small problems until resolved.
Giving up Alcohol is huge, I do it every year for lent and loose like 5 pounds.
Have to agree that ditching alcohol (especially beer) was probably the #1 thing that helped me drop weight. It still took me a couple of years to go from 212 lbs down to 173 lbs, but when I got rid of the booze it seemed to drop off much, much quicker.
You should check out the bioneer, he’s roughly your position in life, and he has a series on “bullet proofing” which is exercises for longevity. A lot of his content is performance focused, which I get is not your thing, but his idea of “superfunctional” is really cool. If you have a moment give him a look, I do recommend his “5 pillars of fitness” video, or like I said, his “bulletproofing” videos. Great job on the face shrink, this has gotta be one of the best health/ fitness messages I have seen in a long time 💪💪
We're all gonna make it, bros.
Well done! As someone enjoying having his kids in the late 30s early 40s (sarcasm, I'm perma exhausted), I'm trying to fix this too, bout 18 months behind you on the health front though haha. Thanks for the encouragement!
Breakfast at mid day? But Maccas stops serving Mc Muffins at 10:30...
Thanks for this video - I struggle, but it gives me motivation to see a normal (we won't mention the knife nerdery for ths one) guy turn it around without hours at the gym or piles or expensive supplements etc.
Cheers.
If you let your pan get real nice an hot before you put the eggs in they won’t stick. I’m definitely going to follow your breakfast routing including the fasting. I’m in my early 30’s and we had our two kids young as well. Time to take care of myself again. Thanks!
Yes! you will not regret it. First thing of the day is protein. That huberman guy is a great resource for lots of health stuff without being all hippy dippy
Quitting drinking is one of the best things I’ve ever done. I run with my son while he’s on his bike every day. I just have a serious cereal addiction I can’t kick.
In my opinion cutting breakfast makes the best sense dietary wise it is full of so many variable carbs especially the quicker carbs that don't give you that much energy however having that refreshing taste in the morning with a coffee or something is something I would miss personally.
But the chiselled face is worth it ;)
Being active in your fasted state puts your fat burn into overdrive.. that was my experience at least (35M moderately active)
Unfortunately the only thing that has shrunk on me as ive gotten older is me Willie
I noticed the change! New glasses! 🤓
That first night with no gin, you definitely found a knife to fidget with.
you mean it wasn't just aging and different lighting/camera setup?
raw broccoli in the smoothie? every day?
Big Face Cedric will now be your jazz name.
Just heard a report about alcohol. We were drinker before we were human. Even animals and our pre-Human ancestors drank alcohol.
An Ozzie that doesn't drink the piss? 😱 The Humberman Alcohol Podcast was truly informative.
Yo! Same here, except for cream in my coffee 😞
In simpler terms when you drink you don’t dream and you need to dream to function.
