Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's get to go, and shall we welcome to the
- 0:01Speaker 1: After Show podcast. That would be to you the After
- 0:04Speaker 1: Show Army. I'm justin. Today is Tuesday, July fourteenth, second
- 0:08Speaker 1: day back from vacation, and we're in full swing now. Baby, Hey, justin.
- 0:12Speaker 1: It's the Angela the Scientist. Thank god, you guys are
- 0:16Speaker 1: back from vacation. Just kidding. You obviously deserve a vacation,
- 0:20Speaker 1: but last week was rough in the lab without you guys. Yeah,
- 0:26Speaker 1: that's all. Just glad you guys are backing at it
- 0:29Speaker 1: all right, best yeah, best to you, Angela. I saw
- 0:32Speaker 1: Angela recently at Least's book club. She was there. It's
- 0:36Speaker 1: so funny because like people will DM me and I
- 0:39Speaker 1: get a lot of dms and I can't respond to
- 0:41Speaker 1: them all. It's a tough thing, trust me, it's stupid.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I'm not like this big person that gets so many dms,
- 0:48Speaker 1: but it's really hard to keep up with everybody. But
- 0:52Speaker 1: if I see a DM and I respond back to it,
- 0:55Speaker 1: sometimes I'll hit the picture. I'll see who it is,
- 0:57Speaker 1: and then I see them in real life and I'm
- 0:59Speaker 1: like like, oh, I know you the pictures. I have
- 1:02Speaker 1: a pretty good memory, which is surprising. Because of my past.
- 1:05Speaker 1: But I think I do not as good as not
- 1:07Speaker 1: as good as I used to have, but I definitely
- 1:09Speaker 1: do have a good memory. So hey, Angela, and yeah,
- 1:11Speaker 1: that's the routine, right. We all have routines and when
- 1:13Speaker 1: they get out of whack, it throws us off. That
- 1:16Speaker 1: happens on vacation to me all the time. I love
- 1:18Speaker 1: being on vacation. But after a few days, it's not
- 1:21Speaker 1: that I need to get back to work, but I
- 1:23Speaker 1: start thinking about my routine and getting back into it.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Nice to sleep in I love it. I love getting
- 1:28Speaker 1: eight hours like sleep is so important to me. I
- 1:32Speaker 1: think that sleep is a superpower. I honestly believe that
- 1:35Speaker 1: that's when our bodies recover. And I feel better when
- 1:39Speaker 1: I get more sleep. So it was nice to get
- 1:41Speaker 1: eight hours for a full week, eight hours plus. And
- 1:45Speaker 1: I take like all these, I take supplements to sleep.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I actually have a really good stack sleep stack. I
- 1:51Speaker 1: wonder if I should share that with you guys, if
- 1:53Speaker 1: you have a problem sleeping. I don't know where I
- 1:56Speaker 1: found this, but I started using it and actually I
- 1:59Speaker 1: actually have been getting the best sleep of my life.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Let me see, I can pull it up right hand.
- 2:04Speaker 1: I got it okay. You never know where this podcast
- 2:08Speaker 1: is gonna take you. So my problem is not so
- 2:11Speaker 1: much staying asleep. It's about falling asleep, right, But then
- 2:16Speaker 1: it's also about not getting enough deep sleep. I don't
- 2:19Speaker 1: know what it is. I mouth tape every night. Some
- 2:21Speaker 1: of you may know that, some of you may not.
- 2:23Speaker 1: It's a weird thing. Now. I can't sleep without the tape,
- 2:27Speaker 1: and trust me, I know it sounds weird, but there
- 2:29Speaker 1: is benefit to breathing out of your nose. Well. One
- 2:31Speaker 1: big benefit is snoring. Right. I don't snore anymore, and
- 2:36Speaker 1: sometimes I'll wake up in my sleep I'll rip the
- 2:38Speaker 1: tape off for whatever reason. And I did that recently.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Where was it. Oh it was in old Orcha Beach,
- 2:44Speaker 1: I had the tape on. I think it was because
- 2:46Speaker 1: I was in a different bed. I ripped the tape off,
- 2:48Speaker 1: and when I woke up in the morning, Jen was like,
- 2:51Speaker 1: what the fuck was going on last night? You were
- 2:53Speaker 1: snoring so loud. So there you go. And that goes
- 2:56Speaker 1: to show you because I sleep with my mouth open,
- 2:58Speaker 1: which is also not good for your teeth as well.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I learned that from Perfect Smiles, my dentist. When your
- 3:04Speaker 1: teeth when your mouth. You know, you wake up in
- 3:05Speaker 1: the morning, your mouth's dry from your mouth being open.
- 3:07Speaker 1: That is terrible for your teeth. I remember when I
- 3:11Speaker 1: got my teeth all fixed, I say, can I chill
- 3:13Speaker 1: still chew gum? And Doctor Hout in a perfect smile,
- 3:16Speaker 1: says absolutely, because that's more, you know, keeps your teeth moist,
- 3:21Speaker 1: which is what it needs. It needs to be moist,
- 3:23Speaker 1: not dry. That's bad. That causes cavities. And I will say,
- 3:26Speaker 1: ever since I started moult taping, I do not get cavities.
- 3:29Speaker 1: But yeah, I understand it's weird you're taking your mouth shut.
- 3:31Speaker 1: It takes like a good week or two to get
- 3:34Speaker 1: used to it, because you think you're going to suffocate.
- 3:36Speaker 1: You think you can not be able to breathe when
- 3:37Speaker 1: you fall asleep. But that couldn't be further from the truth.
- 3:39Speaker 1: And there is a lot of benefits to that. So yes,
- 3:42Speaker 1: I mouth tape every single night. It stops with snoring,
- 3:46Speaker 1: It helps with snoring, and it helps me. I found
- 3:50Speaker 1: that when I was sleeping with my mouth open, I
- 3:53Speaker 1: would be like which would cause me to roll around.
- 3:56Speaker 1: But now I sleep kind of in one spot. I
- 3:59Speaker 1: sleep kind of comfortably, so my problems were are falling
- 4:02Speaker 1: asleep number one, and then also getting good sleep right
- 4:06Speaker 1: and so you know I would take melatonin sometimes I
- 4:10Speaker 1: take magnesium. But I found this this stack online that
- 4:13Speaker 1: this dude posted and he had like real bad sleep problems,
- 4:17Speaker 1: and so I took it and I've been using it
- 4:18Speaker 1: for about a month and it's been working very very well.
- 4:21Speaker 1: So if you have a pen and paper, you can
- 4:23Speaker 1: write this down. They're five things. First, magnet I got
- 4:26Speaker 1: these all on Amazon, by the way. Magnesium five hundred milligrams,
- 4:30Speaker 1: so for me, that's two pills. Glycine fifteen hundred milligram milligrams,
- 4:36Speaker 1: so that's two pills. Valerian root twenty four hundred milligrams.
- 4:42Speaker 1: That's one pill because each one is twenty four hundred milligrams.
- 4:45Speaker 1: I have to warn you about that one. It stinks
- 4:48Speaker 1: so bad, like I don't know what the hell it is,
- 4:51Speaker 1: but it smells like dirty feet, slash death. It's awful.
- 4:56Speaker 1: You can smell it out like when the bottles shut.
- 4:58Speaker 1: You could smell it how bad it is. But anyway,
- 5:01Speaker 1: Next is ash gowanda ash waganda I'm sorry, one thousand milligrams.
- 5:06Speaker 1: That's two pills. And then lastly is slow release melatonin,
- 5:11Speaker 1: so you got to get the slow release kind and
- 5:14Speaker 1: six hundred mcgs, so that's micrograms, not milligrams. Before I
- 5:20Speaker 1: was taking like five to ten milligrams a night. This
- 5:23Speaker 1: is six hundred mcgs. So on Amazon just search slowly
- 5:27Speaker 1: slow release melatonin and they come in three hundred mcg pills.
- 5:31Speaker 1: So I take two of those. So basically I take
- 5:33Speaker 1: two of each one of these, except for the Valerian root,
- 5:36Speaker 1: I take one because it's twenty four hundred milligrams. So
- 5:39Speaker 1: try it out if you want. If you have problems sleeping,
- 5:41Speaker 1: let me know how it works. I've been doing it
- 5:43Speaker 1: for about a month, and I gotta tell you I've
- 5:46Speaker 1: been getting some good, good sleep. My deep sleep has increased.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Hold on, I actually have it right here. So this
- 5:54Speaker 1: is for all like the nerds and biohacking wados like myself.
- 5:57Speaker 1: So last night I got an eighty sleep score, which
- 5:59Speaker 1: I don't like the Apple Watch sleep scores because they
- 6:01Speaker 1: base a lot of it on the time you go
- 6:04Speaker 1: to bed, which is cool, but I'd rather embase it
- 6:06Speaker 1: on the quality of the sleep. So last night I
- 6:10Speaker 1: got twenty two minutes of deep sleep, which is still low,
- 6:13Speaker 1: but I was getting only from zero some night time
- 6:17Speaker 1: we get zero deep sleep up to like five to
- 6:19Speaker 1: ten minutes. Two nights ago, I think it was. Oh no,
- 6:23Speaker 1: I think the last night I was on vacation. So
- 6:25Speaker 1: Saturday night I got forty four minutes of deep sleep,
- 6:30Speaker 1: so you know, it's kind of it's fluctuating. But I
- 6:33Speaker 1: never got even the highest twenty two, so never mind
- 6:36Speaker 1: forty four. So yeah, try it out, try the stack out.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Other than that, it's going to be back in vacation,
- 6:43Speaker 1: on vacate, from vacation, back in the routine. My wife
- 6:46Speaker 1: is home from North Carolina. I picked her up last
- 6:48Speaker 1: night at Logan. So good to see her. The kids
- 6:51Speaker 1: were so so happy. You know, my daughter. Did I
- 6:54Speaker 1: talk about this yesterday? I forget. My daughter took it
- 6:58Speaker 1: very very hard. Talk about this yesterday. I'm sorry, I forget.
- 7:02Speaker 1: There's a lot going on always. My daughter had a
- 7:06Speaker 1: very very hard time. She struggled Friday and Saturday. Friday
- 7:10Speaker 1: she was fine. I picked her up from daycare. My
- 7:12Speaker 1: wife left Friday early afternoon, and then I picked he
- 7:17Speaker 1: up from daycare on my way back. And when I
- 7:20Speaker 1: picked her up, the teacher said, oh, she kept saying
- 7:23Speaker 1: it's going to be a dada weekend, her n dadda,
- 7:25Speaker 1: her n datta, And it was. She was fine, but
- 7:28Speaker 1: then when it got to bedtime, she started losing it,
- 7:30Speaker 1: like I want mama, I want my mom. She was
- 7:35Speaker 1: like inconsolable for like an hour. It was horrendous. So
- 7:40Speaker 1: put her to bed. She was up a couple of
- 7:41Speaker 1: times during the night asking for mama. You know, she's
- 7:44Speaker 1: really attached to my wife. And then she woke up
- 7:47Speaker 1: Saturday morning at five thirty, okay, which is early for her.
- 7:51Speaker 1: She usually gets up like seven, seven thirty. And she
- 7:54Speaker 1: cried on the couch for two hours okay. And she
- 7:58Speaker 1: was doing the same thing, oh my. And I was
- 8:03Speaker 1: trying to console her and do it. Nothing I was
- 8:05Speaker 1: saying was helping her. And then I'm in the kitchen
- 8:08Speaker 1: finally I just like, I'm like, okay, you'll be okay,
- 8:10Speaker 1: let me go get coffee. So I'm in the kitchen
- 8:12Speaker 1: and she's going why man, And I'm like what do
- 8:16Speaker 1: you say? And I'm like what what? And so I
- 8:22Speaker 1: go in close to her, I'm like what are you saying?
- 8:24Speaker 1: And she goes my heart is broken. I'm like, oh
- 8:28Speaker 1: my god, like what am I supposed to do? But
- 8:32Speaker 1: she snapped out of it. She got much better Saturday
- 8:35Speaker 1: and then Sunday she didn't ask for her once she
- 8:38Speaker 1: kind of got over it. But I think I might
- 8:39Speaker 1: have help there. As we told her she was coming
- 8:41Speaker 1: home tomorrow, it was hard because she kept saying, is
- 8:45Speaker 1: she gonna come home early? Is she coming home tomorrow?
- 8:48Speaker 1: And she doesn't understand days, so we kind of had
- 8:50Speaker 1: to say, like, yeah, maybe you know, it's a weird thing.
- 8:54Speaker 1: But when we could say to her she's coming home tomorrow,
- 8:57Speaker 1: she felt better. So Sunday and Monday, yesterday she was good.
- 9:01Speaker 1: She was all good, and they were waiting for her.
- 9:03Speaker 1: When when when she got home, she was visiting her
- 9:05Speaker 1: friend in North Carolina, her best friend who moved there.
- 9:07Speaker 1: They had like a bestie weekend and their relationship, their
- 9:11Speaker 1: friendship makes me so happy. They're like soul sisters. And
- 9:15Speaker 1: it was, uh, it was just I think she needed it.
- 9:18Speaker 1: She needed it. She really doesn't have a lot of friends,
- 9:21Speaker 1: like she has friends, but not best friends. She has
- 9:25Speaker 1: two best friends right one lives here, one lives in
- 9:28Speaker 1: North Carolina. But the one that lives here is very,
- 9:30Speaker 1: very busy. She has multiple kids, a career, doesn't. She
- 9:35Speaker 1: lives close, but you know, she's busy, she got things
- 9:37Speaker 1: going on, so she doesn't see her that much. But
- 9:40Speaker 1: they talk to They talk all the time. They're in
- 9:41Speaker 1: a group chat. So it was really good for her
- 9:43Speaker 1: to go to North Carolina be with her friend. Now
- 9:45Speaker 1: I feel like she's back. She's recharged and still looking
- 9:48Speaker 1: for a job too. She got a PERDEMN job at
- 9:51Speaker 1: a place which she's going to start in a couple
- 9:53Speaker 1: of weeks. But she's been applying, but she's in NP school.
- 9:58Speaker 1: So a couple of the jobs that she interviewed for,
- 10:01Speaker 1: you know, she revealed that she was in in PA
- 10:03Speaker 1: school and they're kind of like, eh, eh, you know,
- 10:06Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like they want an RN
- 10:08Speaker 1: for that position. They don't want to hire somebody. And
- 10:11Speaker 1: then in a year when she graduates and becomes a
- 10:13Speaker 1: nurse practitioner, she's like peace. So, yeah, she's got a
- 10:18Speaker 1: couple of opportunities, so she'll go back per DM for that.
- 10:21Speaker 1: I think she's trying to find a good job that
- 10:22Speaker 1: really works around her schedule too. With the kids. You know,
- 10:25Speaker 1: she wants to be able to, you know, get our
- 10:27Speaker 1: children up, get them off to school because I'm not there.
- 10:30Speaker 1: I'm more important on the pickup side, but the you know,
- 10:33Speaker 1: drop off and getting them out of the house, she
- 10:35Speaker 1: wants to be there for that. So she'll be fine. Listen,
- 10:40Speaker 1: if you listen to this podcast, if she's listening to
- 10:42Speaker 1: me talk, you know me, I always look on the
- 10:45Speaker 1: positive side of things. You know. For the entire time
- 10:48Speaker 1: that we've been together and we've been on this path together,
- 10:50Speaker 1: everything has worked out for the most part. You know,
- 10:54Speaker 1: there's been times when things weren't that good, but overall
- 10:58Speaker 1: we've been just fine. Right. We've had setbacks, but it's okay, Right,
- 11:02Speaker 1: we always get back up on our feet and we
- 11:05Speaker 1: always just you know, continue to do the right thing.
- 11:08Speaker 1: That's the basic principle of each of our lives, right
- 11:12Speaker 1: and our lives together as a family. We just keep
- 11:15Speaker 1: moving forward. So she'll be fine. And you know, nurses, man,
- 11:18Speaker 1: they're the best. You know, there's a ton of jobs
- 11:20Speaker 1: for nurses. It's really just about finding finding the right one.
- 11:23Speaker 1: And again, once she graduates, graduates and becomes an NP,
- 11:26Speaker 1: like forget about it. Her dream is to open up
- 11:29Speaker 1: have her own practice. That's her dream with her best friend,
- 11:32Speaker 1: the one that lives here. She is a who she
- 11:36Speaker 1: has a master's in social work. So essentially they could
- 11:40Speaker 1: team up and have a business where her friend sees
- 11:46Speaker 1: the patience and then my wife is the prescriber. I
- 11:50Speaker 1: think that's how she explained it to me. And you know,
- 11:53Speaker 1: I said to her, you know, I work on a
- 11:55Speaker 1: job where I work for a corporate company. You know,
- 11:58Speaker 1: you don't even know what's going to happen, and basically
- 12:00Speaker 1: your career is in their hands. You know, you can
- 12:02Speaker 1: walk into work and boom, you're laid off. You know
- 12:05Speaker 1: what I mean, they're flipping the station, they're replacing you.
- 12:08Speaker 1: You know, you just never know. The way to avoid
- 12:10Speaker 1: that is to basically work for yourself. If you work
- 12:13Speaker 1: for yourself, which is much harder to do because you know, well,
- 12:17Speaker 1: there's a lot of reasons why it's hard. Take it's
- 12:19Speaker 1: going to takes a lot of work, a lot of effort,
- 12:21Speaker 1: and nothing is really guaranteed. But I told her, you know,
- 12:26Speaker 1: if she can work for herself, that would be ideal.
- 12:29Speaker 1: And that's what her ultimate she told me. That's her
- 12:31Speaker 1: five year plan, is to have her own practice and
- 12:35Speaker 1: not have to depend on a company on a cooperation
- 12:39Speaker 1: for a paycheck, and I think that's great and hopefully
- 12:41Speaker 1: I'll still be doing what I'm doing and will be okay,
- 12:44Speaker 1: you know, to take our family on vacation, because you know,
- 12:47Speaker 1: that's that's really what I care about, right the memories,
- 12:50Speaker 1: building memories my family. That's super super important to me,
- 12:54Speaker 1: and I'm super grateful to be able to do that.
- 12:56Speaker 1: So all right, so today, great show. Check it out.
- 13:00Speaker 1: We had Ret Price on, one of my favorite guys
- 13:02Speaker 1: in Boston. He's a violinist, hip hop violinist. God, we
- 13:05Speaker 1: go way back, way way back. We had him on
- 13:07Speaker 1: the jam in Days because he was doing hip hop covers,
- 13:10Speaker 1: went super viral, went to Berkeley with Charlie Pooth. He's
- 13:12Speaker 1: gonna hit me up because he has a new album out.
- 13:14Speaker 1: But we talked a little bit on the show. You know,
- 13:17Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, you know, if you follow
- 13:19Speaker 1: Ty Dollars Sign, who's a rapper who made albums with
- 13:21Speaker 1: Kanye West, Ty Dollars Sign was posting videos in a
- 13:24Speaker 1: hotel room in Florence, Italy, recording with Ret Price. And
- 13:29Speaker 1: so I remember I saw it and I'm like, is
- 13:31Speaker 1: that rehdt? And I DMed him and I go, what's
- 13:34Speaker 1: going on, and I just remember him saying to me,
- 13:37Speaker 1: justin you know, there's so much, so many amazing things
- 13:39Speaker 1: to talk about here, but I can't yet, but I
- 13:42Speaker 1: will one day. So he came back today and we talked,
- 13:44Speaker 1: and you know, we had him on the show. On
- 13:48Speaker 1: the air, he talks about it some. It just was
- 13:50Speaker 1: sad that they didn't use his parts. You know, he
- 13:53Speaker 1: didn't talk. He didn't say this on the air, I
- 13:54Speaker 1: think because he doesn't want to, like, you know, for
- 13:57Speaker 1: whatever reason, he didn't sign an NDA. But he recorded
- 14:01Speaker 1: a bunch of violin parts for a bunch of songs
- 14:04Speaker 1: for them for Kanye and ty Dollars sign. This is
- 14:07Speaker 1: before Kanye really really went crazy, by the way, like
- 14:10Speaker 1: with the Hitler stuff, like all that weirdness. This was
- 14:14Speaker 1: before that. He recorded a bunch of strings on songs
- 14:19Speaker 1: and then you know, they sounded great. He said they
- 14:22Speaker 1: were gonna use them, and then Ty Dollas said to him, listen,
- 14:25Speaker 1: I gotta give you the heads up here. We're gonna
- 14:27Speaker 1: send these off to Kanye and there's a chance he
- 14:30Speaker 1: could change them. He could make changes to them. We
- 14:32Speaker 1: don't know, but he is known for doing that. And
- 14:35Speaker 1: sure enough, when the finished songs came out on the album,
- 14:38Speaker 1: which he which rehtt didn't hear until the albums came out.
- 14:41Speaker 1: There were two albums, every single one. Kanye replaced his strings,
- 14:47Speaker 1: so they flew them out to Florence for a month
- 14:49Speaker 1: at a time, put them up, recorded with him, and
- 14:51Speaker 1: then just replaced all of his strings. So that sucks,
- 14:55Speaker 1: but it was a great experience and that's what inspired
- 14:57Speaker 1: his new album, his first like original music album. So anyway,
- 15:02Speaker 1: go check that out on the podcast tomorrow we have
- 15:04Speaker 1: Benson Boone. Tickets will be in the garden tomorrow. It's
- 15:07Speaker 1: seven ten. Good luck on that. And then Janelle Draper
- 15:09Speaker 1: is coming in, very very funny comedian. She's from here.
- 15:13Speaker 1: She's doing filming a special at laugh Boston. She's been
- 15:17Speaker 1: on before, she went to college with Mike ev. But
- 15:21Speaker 1: she's very very funny and I'll talk about this when
- 15:24Speaker 1: I see her tomorrow. She sent me an email like
- 15:27Speaker 1: a pitch, you know. She's like, Hey, it's Janelle. You
- 15:29Speaker 1: know I've been on before, you know who I am.
- 15:31Speaker 1: And then she went on this like long thing that
- 15:33Speaker 1: she wrote and she I could tell she wrote it.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Chat GPT didn't write it, but it was very impressive.
- 15:39Speaker 1: It was well written. If you know me, I have
- 15:41Speaker 1: a journalism background and I get pitched every day, multiple
- 15:45Speaker 1: times a day for this show. I mean, that's a
- 15:47Speaker 1: big part of my job. I would say ninety nine
- 15:49Speaker 1: percent of my job is saying no right, because that's
- 15:52Speaker 1: just the way it is. People want to get on
- 15:53Speaker 1: this show. There's a lot of ears on the show.
- 15:56Speaker 1: So I read the email and I was so impressed.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I wrote back to her, Janelle, I would book you
