00:00:00if i stay in hotels for a weekend and don't look at porn i i feel like i'm a saint i leave and like
00:00:05they should literally just like canonize the ones that you pay for like they're no i'm just on your
00:00:11phone i'm saying because it's like you have you're just isolated in this bunker you get off stage
00:00:15you're like i'm wired yeah you're like i need to go to bed i know exactly how i can fall asleep
00:00:20right now yeah and you go like no i'm not gonna i'll do it like four percent of the time and i'm
00:00:25just like man they're gonna canonize me after it's impossible it sounds like you're open about
00:00:32this with your wife otherwise she just yeah she's about it now she i've talked to her about it and uh
00:00:36now i'm off and i'm off i'm off the porn but i always i ask for her how was that how was the
00:00:40transition off the porn dude it's way better because you know now i'm four i swear to god
00:00:43once once you're 40 it's like 20s you can you can have like infinite boners you can be watching porn
00:00:48even now like i need to be ready if i'm fapped out yeah and the wife and i get the big call from i'm
00:00:54like no so now i'm just always i stay ready at all times i'm like just let me know that's it dude
00:01:02i'm just kidding no i'm gonna try that as well but not one of the uh is that one of the life hacks
00:01:06that comedians know that the health experts haven't cottoned on to that if you've just done a high
00:01:11stimulation activity that just a fat before bed is that's that's that's universal now it's got to be
00:01:19universal knowledge that i haven't heard that on the cuban lab podcast fat before sleep it's called
00:01:24a fat nap never heard of a fat nap i've never we've been doing this for generations
00:01:31my daddy was a fat napper and his daddy before well the thing is like every every comic probably every
00:01:36performer like music or otherwise but certainly for a comedian like the adrenaline spike you're getting
00:01:42off stage like usually like somebody different people get into something like there's the guys
00:01:48that go just drink their faces off or drugs or like eating or go out all night or jerk off like
00:01:54somebody like you have this this rush after and it's like the night's over like you're just like
00:02:00go back no girlfriends or wives on tour i mean girlfriend or wife on tour no i mean you are really
00:02:05freudian slipping your way through this i have one girlfriend she's awesome like i said i'm addressing
00:02:10yeah i'm addressing the audience can you uh but i'm not alive i'm also not a live show guy when i
00:02:15finish a podcast like a solo episode of my podcast i want to collapse man can you explain what's happening
00:02:21neurologically biochemically when the being on stage high stimulus a lot of focus a lot of
00:02:28adrenaline positive feedback and then what what is that what's going on i mean in a word arousal
00:02:34right i mean the catecholamines dopamine norepinephrine and epinephrine the catecholamines
00:02:38this little kit of of chemicals that are made in our brain and body right different ones different
00:02:44places etc we don't have to get into that but that cocktail is what's released under you know high
00:02:50arousal situations some are scary situations some are exciting but when you're a performer and you're
00:02:54getting that feedback then yeah you got a lot of dopamine norepinephrine and epinephrine so you're
00:03:00alert your focus so broadly speaking right the science crowd is getting a little pissed at me
00:03:04for this but broadly speaking the dopamine thing is going to want you having like more of whatever
00:03:09you're experiencing right higher higher threshold higher threshold okay epinephrine which is adrenaline
00:03:16makes your body alert and norepinephrine and released in the brain and you know and this is
00:03:21again generalizations increases focus for the thing that you're you know that you're pursuing right so you get
00:03:28off stage and those things are cranked to level 11 and i mean you could do some long exhale breathing
00:03:33you do a sauna but obviously you're out on tour yeah you want to bring it down a notch and you got to
00:03:37get on the bus or the plane the next day and go and so yeah and you know it can be hard to sleep man
00:03:42look evolution you know hardwired circuits so that the desire to you know ride this roller coaster up to
00:03:52this peak and then crash down again you know and and make sex you know ideally with somebody else
00:03:57you know but if apparently in your case if you're alone you know you're trying to find a way to do
00:04:01you're right so you know that that's it's that brings you into a so-called lower lower arousal
00:04:08parasympathetic state right and as dopamine goes up testosterone goes up in women and men
00:04:13okay and then after orgasm dopamine goes down and and a hormone which is basically a a hormone uh prolactin
00:04:22goes up and that sets the refractory period during which time you need a higher stimulus
00:04:29thing to get you aroused coolidge effect yeah the coolidge effect like in roosters this whole
00:04:33thing if you trade out the hens then they can continue to copy over and over again it's to some
00:04:37extent is is true in humans but um you know they're they're also i sort of joked about the tadalphil
00:04:44and that was it was indeed a joke but there there's some interesting things like if you want to
00:04:47play this game you can although i'm not sure i want to encourage your porn habit no no i'm not a
00:04:50porn guy but when you were saying like trying to turn it on like the refractory period the
00:04:54refractory period can be shortened yeah right by um blunting the prolactin response that can be done
00:05:01with taking something like p5p which is a it's related to vitamin b6 and it blunts prolactin somewhat
00:05:07um you know there are drugs which i don't recommend people take but these prescription drugs like
00:05:11cabergoline and things like that which um inhibit prolactin and you know there are communities like
00:05:18like in in the um like in the gay community like there's a big use of some of these drugs to have
00:05:23sort of kind of marathon sex type thing they'll use stimulants like meth right i have a friend who's a
00:05:28former meth addict he happens to be gay and i was like well i don't understand i've never done meth but
00:05:32i'm like what's the deal with meth and he's like oh the idea is you know marathon sex right and then
00:05:36when people get sober from meth hopefully um they lose their sex drive for a long long time these systems
00:05:42need to be recalibrated we're talking about extremes with drugs right one one reason why i'm not one of
00:05:47these like all porn is bad but one reason why i i personally am just not a fan of porn is i think
00:05:54it can you can dial in pretty much a higher and higher threshold thing without really having to do
00:06:00the work of going out and finding a relationship and i think a lot of younger guys who aren't married
00:06:04who don't have a relationship they don't know how to use it um kind of judiciously right yeah and there's
00:06:10no and and it never says no to them either so a lot of issues with porn in the younger younger
00:06:15crowd so i mean that's like for as comedians i feel like your your 20s into your 30s is probably the
00:06:21the time of the most consumption it is like you're alone of porn like you're alone you're a loser you're
00:06:27you're a loser you're you're also in a strange place like you're you know what i mean you have
00:06:33this like this isn't my environment right and you and then you throw in the the performing and getting
00:06:41bumped up from that and just being like looking for someone wanting to fuck you no yeah no we're
00:06:46comedians although are you kidding me don't give me that are you kidding me i didn't hear what you
00:06:54said i said i i was picking up on andrew's putting down you call the boys and fire up the meth pipe
00:06:58man yeah yeah let's go so you're saying if you take the stuff that suppresses prolactin that you can
00:07:04the refractory the refractory period is shortened yeah i want the refractory you want yeah so you're
00:07:09looking for some you're trying to optimize you're trying to you're looking for some peace and ease
00:07:14i want to pass out i want to yeah so i mean i don't know i mean i think we're um this seems like
00:07:19an age-old method i'm guessing you know of crank calming down hey listen better better better that
00:07:26better that than taking like a barbiturate right true a quick aside there is a stat that genuinely
