meds, if I have a stroke you're not going to know why. I've ruined your fun. I'm sorry. Now if I have a stroke it's because I'm off my blood pressure meds. So I've ruined your anecdotal happiness. Should I have a tragic event, your anecdotal happiness will be way down. Claude Adams will not be as funny. It won't be funny. People won't laugh at it. Yeah. So that was accidental, but it was a stroke of genius. A stroke of genius exactly.

Okay, no one here wants you to be harmed. Probably no one here. But there are definitely some people who would have mocked me to my dead bones if I died. Definitely. And I don't begrudge them. They're fun, you know, from Dad. What's the difference?

All right. Could you have lowered the dose? Yes. And the lower dose did not affect my blood pressure. So it didn't help. It was actually raised recently because it wasn't changing the blood pressure. And by the way, I'm not the person telling you you shouldn't take blood pressure meds because apparently there are a bunch of them. I tried one of them, two of them actually. And the two I tried didn't give me a good result. That's all I know. I don't know about the other five or six or whatever.

Do I eat grapefruit? No. It's weird. What is your BP? It ranges now without blood pressure. The week after it ranges between perfect 120 over 80 and 140 over 90 something in the afternoon usually. And as I said to my doctor, I'm not aware of any studies that say somebody with even the high end of my blood pressure should be on blood pressure meds. Which is not to say I shouldn't be. I was simply challenging whether there's any medical scientific backing for it. And my doctor was not willing to say there was because I did enough research to know there isn't. There isn't. It's another one of those big pharma things. Right now I have to be really careful. I'm not saying that you shouldn't take blood pressure meds. I'm saying let me be very careful about that. That's between you and your doctor.

All right. What time do you suggest I take my first bong rip today? Well, I think you've wasted a few minutes asking the question. So no time like now. 140 isn't necessarily high. Yeah, I think that. So here's the question. If you have a stroke, it's not just because of your blood pressure, correct? There are a number of factors that have to be also true at the same time. Like you need some kind of a thing going on. Now in my case, I'm a vegetarian for 40 years, more recently a pescetarian. My body mass index is exactly where it should be. I'm like right in the middle of the good range. I exercise daily. I don't drink alcohol or smoke tobacco. And there are no strokes in my family background. No strokes in my family background.

Now can somebody tell me that my blood pressure at 140 is dangerous? It might be. I'm not saying it isn't. Just being real clear. I just don't think there's any evidence to show that me as a specific individual with a specific lifestyle, I just don't know. Here's what I think. I've always believed that my body runs hot. Runs hot. And what I mean by that is that when I go to sleep I wake up sweating, right? Like my natural body just runs hot. I'd rather be in a cool room than a warm room. I can't do work over 76 degrees. If the room is over 76, you know, my body just runs up. Now you've also noticed that when you do a lot of thinking, you notice you can break a sweat just thinking hard. Has anybody ever done that? Yeah, your brain actually uses a lot of energy. So I have a theory that my brain draws more from my body than other people. It could have to do with something about my physical size compared to my brain size. Because I think, I'm not sure about this, but I think my brain size is about the same as any adult male, right? Even if I'm five eight, isn't my brain about the same as a six foot four guy? Can somebody, is that true? Somebody says no. And maybe it's not. It's the wrinkles, not the weight, right?

All right, well whatever. So forget about that point because I don't have any backing for that point. But I feel as though my brain draws more from my body than most people because I just feel like I run hot. And I don't know that that's bad for me, right? I don't think it's bad for me that I run hot as long as my body is, you know, I'm taking care of all the other lifestyle things. I feel like I could run hot and be optimized. I don't know. Just a theory. Yeah, somebody says that's not how it works. And I agree that that is definitely not how it works. But in a meta
