#426: The Random Show: Boozy Quarantine Edition!

Yeah. Testing, testing, one, two, three.

Optimal.

Minimal at this altitude. I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Can I ask you a personal question? Now? Where does the time? What if I did the opposite?

I'm a cybernetic organism.

Living tissue of a metal endoskeleton. This episode is brought to you by Magic Spoon. I love these guys, and I love their products. Magic Spoon is a brand new cereal that is low carb, high protein, zero sugar. It tastes exactly like your favorite cereals from your childhood. It just doesn't include all the bad stuff. That's the gist. So, especially these days, when I'm looking for fond associations, good feelings. Back in the day, when I was before school, watching Scooby Doo and eating these cereals that would leave my milk some sort of phosphorescent color, those were good times. And now I can eat this cereal, which I haven't done in decades, but I do now regularly, because, let's face it, beans and pasta gets old after a while. So variety pays off. Each serving has 12 grams of protein, 3 grams of net carbs, 0 gram of sugar, and only 110 calories. It's also gluten free, grain free, soy free, GMO free, basically all the things that you don't want free. And it's delicious. It comes in your favorite traditional cereal flavors, like cocoa, frosted and blueberry. You can try them all by getting a variety pack@magicspoon.com. Tim and the way I found out about this was actually through a number of my friends. One of my friends and one of this podcast's most popular guests, Dr. Peter Tia, has crushed, and I've seen this on Instagram and elsewhere, six to seven servings of this at a time. That's a lot of cereal. With no glycemic response. In effect, his blood sugar remained flat. He was so impressed with the results of his self experiments that he ended up investing in the company. That's true for two other friends as well, Kevin Rose and Ryan Holliday. So check it out. See what all the buz is about. You can go to forward slash Tim to grab a variety pack. And no need to take just my word for it. Magic Spoon has received a lot of attention since launching last year. Time magazine included it in their list of best inventions of 2019, and Forbes called it the future of cereal. And my listeners, that's you get free shipping direct to your door so you don't have to go out to buy this and a 100% happiness guarantee. So if you're not a fan, if you don't love it, they'll give you a full refund, no questions asked. Just use code Tim I've been stocking up on this and I know a bunch of my friends are as well. So check it out. Magicspoon.com forward slash Tim one more time. That's slash Tim. And at the very least, check it out for a really, really well done website. But the product is even better than the website, I promise you that. So check it out. This episode is brought to you by athletic greens I get asked all the time what I would take if I could only take one supplement. The answer is invariably, athletic greens. I view it as all in one nutritional insurance. I recommended it, in fact, in the four hour body. This is more than ten years ago and I did not get paid to do so. With approximately 75 vitamins, minerals and whole food sourced ingredients, you'd be very hard pressed to find a more nutrientdense and comprehensive formula on the market. It has multivitamins, multimineral greens, complex probiotics and prebiotics for gut health, an immunity formula, digestive enzymes, adaptogens and much more. I usually take it once or twice a day just to make sure I've covered my bases. If I miss anything I'm not aware of. Of course, I focus on nutrientdense meals to begin with, that's the basis. But athletic greens makes it easy to get a lot of nutrition when whole foods aren't readily available from travel packets. I always have them in my bag when I'm zipping around. Right now, athletic Greens is giving my audience a special offer on top of their all in one formula, which is a free vitamin D supplement and five free travel packs with your first subscription purchase. Many of us are deficient in vitamin D. I found that true for myself, which is usually produced in our bodies from sun exposure, so adding a vitamin D supplement to your daily routine is a great option for additional immune support. Support your immunity, gut health and energy by visiting athleticgreens.com tfs. You'll receive up to a year's supply of vitamin D and five free travel packs with your subscription.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to another episode of the Random Show. I am Kevin Rose.

I am Tim Ferriss.

Tim Ferriss is, of course, a bestselling New York Times author, inventor of the term the China virus. And no, I'm just kidding.

True fact, true fact.

Not true fact, not true fact. And we're thrilled. Dude, this is awesome. This is like, what a great break from the chaos than to hang out.

It is. And I'll give you credit for the idea of doing something live, which I think, at least for me, is very stress reducing and calming amidst all this uncertainty to have an actual time where you see your friends faces. And I've not been drinking at all, so it's actually exciting to have a little bit of boozy booze. Cheers, Kevin.

Cheers.

And everybody out there.

Yes, cheers. Thanks for joining.

Well, let's perhaps start with what we're drinking here.

Yeah.

What are you having?

So, our mutual friend, Will Harlan. I'm having the mascot 2012, which is a fantastic cabernet
