it again. But if it's a different character you don't know if his background is he screws with the system or if he's serious. So the whole little joke falls apart. Now if I'm not, if I don't get some pushback from this by today it could mean that people are just tired of the whole pronoun thing which I feel like that's happening. Does it feel to you like the pronoun thing is going to die out? Fee…
← Previous segment →you know mistakes are mistakes. I typically I'm not going to go off on somebody for a mistake. So I need to put that out there. I don't go off on people for mistakes. I go off on people for doing something intentionally. If you do something intentionally and I don't like it you're probably gonna hear about it. But if you run over my dog and I'm genuinely convinced it was an accident I'm very sad about my dog but I'm not mad at you because an accident's an accident.
So whoever did the colorizing probably wasn't aware that I have standing instructions to make that character black and that it's important. So that would just be a mistake. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.
But I wouldn't. All right so I just got a notice that the correct version is live. Let's see that. Let's call that up and see if the correct version is live. It's going to take a moment. Now there it is. While I was talking he got recolorized literally while I was talking. So there's the new one.
But here's the thing. It's already in newspapers. So online Dave will be black but in newspapers that run color — they don't all run color on the weekdays but a lot of the newspapers run color comics in the weekdays — and so this character will be a different ethnicity in those comics.
You're gonna have to probably refresh the page to get a change as I did. Was there any other topic? Can you make an NFT of the white Dave? Well that would be a copyright violation but this is a heck of an idea. Oh kids and monkeypox.
All right so I was going to tweet this but I didn't want to get canceled so I think I can do this live because it's I'll add some explanation. Did you see a tweet by Ian Miles Cheong and it was about the story that there were two children who had monkeypox and they believe that they contracted it at home. And then there's other reporting that suggests that it might be sexually transmitted. And the tweet was are we allowed to ask any questions? Are we allowed to ask any questions? It might be sexually transmitted and two children got it in their own home and are we allowed to ask any questions? I love that tweet. It summed up the whole last five years didn't it? Are we allowed to ask any questions?
Oh my god. Any news from behind the curtains? Well I did give you some which is it's not hard to hire some Nazis so I don't know if he knew that.
All right. Sudafed is great. Yeah so I had an interesting experience. I suspected that I don't have real allergies even though I appear to have the worst seasonal allergies in the world and that is actually food. And that I narrowed it down to cheese and I thought there was some kind of sulfites in the cheese because that seems to be my allergen. And sure enough Parmesan cheese has sulfites. And I've avoided cheese. When my voice was clear and you could tell I didn't have any congestion those were days that I'd gone without Parmesan cheese for several days.
When I went to an event, you know really the first event where there were lots of people this weekend in two years, the only food that was vegetarian had some Parmesan cheese. And so I said to myself well no it's not lactose intolerance so it has nothing to do with the dairy. It has to do with the additive in one kind of cheese. And Parmesan cheese, it was sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. And for three days I've had allergy-like symptoms. And I think if I just go a couple more days without eating any Parmesan cheese then I'll be clear again.
Now here's some of the best life advice you could ever get. Some days if you could pick like a couple of weeks and try to bring your diet down to the most minimum clean diet you can just for like two weeks as an experiment. And what I mean by that is just eat vegetables and avoid anything with a sauce on it and just get really really basic and see if your allergies go away. Because I have a theory that our food is poison. And you know not every kind. I think if you get some bag of washed broccoli florets you're probably fine probably as far as I know. But I think everything that's in a can or a freezer they've got additives and I think we're allergic to the additives. Many of us are.
Have you noticed that everybody's anxious and everybody's got allergies and everybody's got asthma? There's like an epidemic of adult onset asthma which was historically unusual. It's in the food. I mean at this point we just have to say our food is killing us.
Have you gone to a large event for the first time let's say after two years of the pandemic? Did you notice anything about the shape and size of the attendees? Oh man did people gain weight in the last two years. Oh man did people gain weight. A lot of weight. And you know so our food is just killing us. It's absolutely killing us. And if you just eat clean for two weeks tell me how much inflammation you have.
There are days when I have so much inflammation that it's hard to walk up and down stairs. Like actually it's sort of a struggle. There are other days when it doesn't seem to be related to exercise. I can run up and down the stairs with no inflammation like I'm a teenager. No difference at all. And it's something I'm eating. There are days when I'm eating something that's making me inflamed for 48 hours and I don't know what it is. It's probably not the sulfites. Might be something else. But there is something that is killing me and it's in the food and it's killing you too. We just don't know what it is. It's probably more than one thing.
I think I actually ate too little salt not long ago because I was eating so clean that my salt I think got lower than I needed for the amount of heat and exercise I do. Is it a pot allergy? No pot actually cleans up my allergies. Pot actually decreases the symptoms. Quality sea salt. Microplastics in the water. Could be. Could be microplastics in the

water. Yep. Yeah you need a little salt and fat. That's true. I can overdo it sometimes. Seed oils. Not intentionally. I don't intentionally eat any seed oils. All right. Did I miss a comment you wanted me to see? Yeah I've tried honey. I don't believe in that. I think soy is probably a problem in our diet. Try the carnivore diet. Well I'm a pescetarian so I won't be trying your carnivore diet. C…
