0:00 suddenly like when things aren't like really gonna work out or whatever or like you know you're broken up there's this there's I just need to be the hottest guy in the world feeling yeah dude you know the crying between sets [Music] welcome to another great episode of careful boys we have with us nimish Patel nimish Patel and we also got a pat over there which is really great also Pat which is really great thanks ████ I was trying to Hype it up but no one else well it sounds sarcastic when he says it no it's just trying to repeat your exact words man busting a can over here saying the same thing the last guy said I wanted to know what what's the most unhealthiest you have ever been well you're asking everybody either
0:51 physical mental anything if you can think back to your life and pinpoint when you were at your most unhealthiest what was going on I was eating hot Cheetos all day are you serious that's your ████ answer no that is so mad sir I can't get the ████ out of here it's like I don't know I've always been healthy you know no I think about early 20s when I had started comedy I wasn't really cognizant of how how late I was eating and what I was eating and when I was eating it and ████ I was just beating like mac and cheese and fries at like 11 12 1 o'clock in the morning that was now look back at those pictures of me I'm like God damn what the ████ was I on eating that ████ were you actually like fatter yes 100 I was not healthy at all and
1:41 those come add that with the fact that I could drink like ████ fish like I would be drinking all the time you know we hang out late we just drink and you don't realize the toll is taken on your body that was definitely unhealthy I was ████ and then and what did it take for you to like Turn Around from that see myself in a photo but like God damn that'll do it too yeah yeah what the ████ is wrong with me bro like I don't that's not supposed to be I'm people say I'm skinny but I don't feel it and I don't look it you know what I mean like now I got changed then also learning about family history of having like heart disease I'm like yeah I gotta change my ████ that'll do it real fast that's a big thing too yeah what about you because you've had some it sounds like throughout time you've had some interesting like struggles with it sometimes sure were you a fat kid no I
2:32 was always like this small skinny skinny fat kid that was like my deal and I still kind of am um but for the most part like a lot of it was when I started weight cutting a bunch for like competitions I was just being super unhealthy because like we didn't know how to do it the right way and we would like I remember one of the fights that I had I tried to cut like 16 pounds and like a week and a half yeah and then and then they tell me oh yeah you're gonna be fighting in a lower weight the guy can't make way a blah blah and I would like lose another five pounds and I just ended up restricting myself so much that like I was just obsessed over food I would like write down dude I had like a it was it was pretty bad like I would like uh write down all the foods that I was gonna eat and just obsess over it think about it
3:22 all the time watch like like food porn stuff you know and then just obsess about it all the time and then once I could eat I would just binge like crazy and then I put on like I just kept getting heavier and heavier my gut kept getting bigger and bigger and like I was like kind of in shape but then it got harder for me to make weight constantly and I would just always go through this process of trying to make weight and just ████ myself over get myself really sick and just not do it right and I would perform like ████ every time and I just would keep doing that and then to the point where I just kind of really gotten healthy with uh my food that I consumed and then I had to really sit back and really figure out how to like eat properly how to be and I was like and I was like a fitness trainer too so well you were trainer throughout this time yeah I was like coaching people all the time you hypocrite not nutrition but
4:14 just like personal training you know got it um I was like damn dude I gotta ████ clean up my act and then that was pretty much I was probably like mid-20s ish you know so you told yourself like nobody ever went hey man you look like you you're letting go a little bit not really because I think I hit it well you know I think I hit it well but it was I knew what I was doing at like night I was like binge eating like crazy it just wasn't it just wasn't healthy at all and I just felt like ████ all the time but my poops are great did you feel like the times you were most physically unhealthy it kind of coincided with your mental health at the same time too or is it like two different things if I was cognizant of my mental health probably I would yeah probably I probably wasn't in the best like heads uh like mindset wise and like looking back retrospect yeah I probably
5:04 wasn't thinking about the right things I was just kind of I was like unorganized doing everything last minute anyway so I just kind of ████ myself over so yeah I guess in a way it's like because you're like there's that Obsession too because I feel like that's mentally unhealthy to be so super obsessive over any one thing right yeah for sure at least to the point of like how it started for me so because I was obsessing over food all the time and then I was actively like it was affecting my day-to-day like dude I remember in college every time God would always like fall asleep when I would drive home for my commute at like Northridge I would get really sleepy and I think the only way I could stay up was your boy is going to McDonald's you know every day and I was going to school Monday through Friday so like every day I was like eating something at McDonald's at McDonald's or some of the fast food and I was eating on the way
5:56 because as soon as I finished class um I would drive back and then start working right away because then you developed you developed ritual too yeah and it's habit right and it's it's tied with my day-to-day everyday routine and then that's how people get ████ over they don't even realize and that was my thing I didn't even realize like what I was doing was like bad because you talk yourself into these weird pockets of you rationalize it oh I'm gonna fall asleep so I need to eat something well what like you do that ████ to yourself all the time and then ████ fast forward to you looking like ████ and then that affects your business too especially in the field that I'm in so so what what is it now that you that keeps you from relapsing like how do you like keep yourself in check today well for me it's just you know the one dealing with clients that have to deal with this all the time and just kind of helping them navigate through that stuff
6:47 and also too it's like if you want to if you want to help people with the stuff you got to be about it you know that's probably the biggest yeah that's one that's one of my motivations but also too it's like the knowledge of where I was before to where I am now was very different so I understand it on a different level and I understand that like yeah obviously you don't want to restrict yourself too much but you you want to have some structure from your day to day you can't just be eating like a ████ ████ and dude if there's one thing I'm really good at it's me knowing how to eat like an ████ like I I'm a bottomless pit dude I could I could stuff myself pretty crazy yeah and you love food oh dude I love it specifically watermelon that's a good choice at least it's kind of healthy hey we never got into how the ████ you lost weight because you were fat as ████ for years you were fat as ████ it's a good intro Ryan yeah yeah I
7:38 didn't even know this but you were a little fat you were a little fatty one time I didn't know it either when I met him and he was in college he was like super skinny so I was like oh dude well dude one time David came in here and was like I remember you when you were fat and he just yelled at Anthony and we were like yo you're fat because you grew up a fat kid right I was I was tubby you know I was a little bit uh chunky I had nice IQ roles I have a very Infamous photo of my sister holding me up as like an infant and you know like the ████ Michelin tire guy like the roles were just three-dimensional you know it was like 4D like ████ Universal Studio stuff um and then I got really chubby as a young one somewhere I hit puberty I stretch out got like scrawny skin like not cool skinny like uh like uh could
8:28 look like you could break me in the wind skinny type oh so that was just metabolism and growth spurt yeah I had no control I had no discipline I had no ████ nothing you know and then I get into uh this this ties more so with the unhealthy part I got into like the sales job after college this is like before I started dancing uh as a choice and as a career and uh in this sales job I would constantly have to like drive around the city and stuff like that all the time right so I was like always just on the road and so I got into a routine like you said I got into this routine where I stopped by the gas station in the morning I get myself ████ monster a beef Slim Jim and crumb or powdered Donuts like every day how's life work and then like you know why are you laughing it's just such a funny breakfast that's a gas station breakfast yeah it
9:19 is it is and then you don't want to spend a lot of money for lunch so you just get something like tacos two tacos that ████ El Pollo Loco was my jam or I mean Jack in the Box um and then uh you know at night and stuff like that you'd be like stressed out so I like hit this like Z bong this giant bong and then you just eat whatever the ████ was affordable but like dank damn volume you're looking for volume yeah and then you go to sleep and you wake up and you go back to the gas station next day and I was doing this like every day like I'm talking like six days a week type ████ damn so I hit I hit like 203 pounds ████ with like but when you're coming from like super skinny scrawny like you could break me like a twig and you get to like 200 plus pounds that's not muscle weight that's like just like like a water bed yeah you know you could push me and I'll still be like waving for like a day um and then I got these like these body
10:10 abscesses almost like pimples oh ████ that would show up like right here on the side and it would be really annoying it's all that Monster energy bubbling up yeah you have immunodeficiency I'm like I don't even know how to spell that yeah I'm like what do you do they're like what do you do or you know like what can you do for they're like ah we don't really know because it's like a deficiency but you know it turned into a part of my lifestyle where I started I showered twice a day I had to sleep eight hours I cut out weed I cut out alcohol for like eight to like nine months and I literally didn't do any of that stuff because I thought that I had this like skin problem um but then because I had to go into that because I had this problem and I cut that stuff out eventually it got me into like a the momentum of just like maybe I need to like cut some other stuff out maybe I should like you know start working out
11:01 um I don't want to like give too much credit to the fact that I was like kind of heartbroken which is like what every guy's real diet is right yeah they get all jacked and ████ yeah so it's the best go to the gym I had this like thing where um these like weight uh these uh cut and weight people ████ previous wrestlers would say oh if you don't like running what should you do you walk uphill on a treadmill right can you explain how that works real quick 12 30 kind of thing that that new trend oh well I think that's just something that like a lot of bodybuilders do just for a long volume of time where you're not necessarily exerting yourself because especially when you're heavier and you never run and you gained a bunch of weight like new weight and then you start running your joints gonna be ████ in pain right so a lot of times you can do something longer period of time at a lower intensity and you can get your heart rate up at a moderate amount where you're
11:52 still like okay I'm burning calories and after you do that for like 30 40 minutes you could burn like a good amount of calories over time yeah because I couldn't run I hated running I couldn't run two miles for ████ like 10 minutes but I could walk uphill for 30 and then I found this meal called the skinless chicken breast Meal which was like a skinless chicken breast like neon ████ vegetables uh and then it was like maybe 270 calories for like five bucks filled you up I eat that twice a day let's go and I'll hit the gym twice a day and then I went down from 280 to I mean from uh 203 to like 165. wow that's how long did it take to get from 203 it took me like three months dude that's fast as ████ but like think about it you're eating what you said two meals 270 yeah so dude you're like not even you're barely eating I think it was lightweight anorexia yeah that's probably not the
12:42 healthiest way to do it but hey you got yourself damn got skinnier that's for sure how much do you weigh right now right now like 175 180 and you're tall you're like six feet yeah yeah that's healthy right yeah same stuff bro when Anthony Texas a ████ shirt off and he goes for a walk this guy's kind of jacked you ████ yoked man you're kind of Jack you're ripped I'm clearly the buffest guy here you know I'm on the opposite Journey right now I'm trying to go up and wait like at least like five or ten more pounds did you always have trouble gaining weight yeah your metabolism was like super fast Huh Cheetos ain't gonna help you it's the opposite where I feel like my unhealthiest was when I was the skinniest when I was like 110 like that was like the dude like 110. yeah it's because one you're gonna float away uh because I work on my computer I'm not
13:32 really physically active and the only time I'm physically active is if I'm dancing but you don't eat probably a lot huh exactly I don't eat a lot because I always feel like I never need to because I'm not even using up the energy anyway that's crazy yeah but so that but that kept happening I would say this was like actually pretty recent like maybe three four years ago and I was like you're a buck ten three years ago how much do you think he weighs right now 12. no not 20. I'm still actually I'm like 120 right now oh my god dude it's a professional though yeah yeah I'm like 120. I pick them up every now and then though a part of it was because I was also really um I was in the habit of like smoking weed all the time uh going out to drink some but that didn't make you fat no because I don't get the munchies I don't get the munchies the ████ is wrong with it and
14:22 then I was on my computer barely physically active so I didn't I never wanted to eat that much but then this past couple of years I've been like okay I need to try to change something about that because I feel like I have less energy when I weigh less yeah sure yeah I do well you've been lifting more too right you've been you've been lifting more yeah I've been going to the gym more uh I've been break dancing now so that helps a lot because I feel like I'm way stronger now than before and it also in turn like make makes me want to eat more too oh okay so your appetite goes on exactly yeah yeah you have a Target weight that you want to reach at least 135 like I want to get to 135 so like 15 pounds you can do it for sure but I don't like the way where like people are like oh you just gotta eat a lot of calories because for me that's what they just said no but you kind of do though you kind of have no because it ████ up my my digestion so how how many meals do
15:12 you have a day 3 are they are they pretty spaced out yeah they're pretty spaced out then it's going to be an adjustment period yeah because I don't want to just have one to two meals like regularly yeah that was very clear because I was just like I didn't feel hungry or it was just that's just how it's just your body huh yeah yeah because I always tried to feel it out and you must have been saving a lot of money I know dude you probably spent way less than the average dude for sure but um it was also what I was eating too wasn't that healthy because like I was conscious of it but not really what were you eating just like Asian food like ████ healthy yeah like just uh protein also a lot of sodiums and ████ yeah yeah like not enough veggies not enough fruits like now I do that I try to incorporate fruit and veggies like way more but but when you're trying to gain weight like volume is the game yeah but I'm not also in a hurry either so like
16:02 this past year I gained like five pounds and it just stayed there and I never went oh nice okay so I want to keep gaining like weight but consistent but in that same yeah yeah yeah I don't want to be like three months transformation you know I don't yeah how do you feel about Mass Gators are mass gainers unhealthy I don't I think they're fine yeah so why don't you try maybe like a mask I did I did what's a mass gainer It's Like A protein that has like a gang of calories like a gang of protein it like it's ████ packed with like ice cream because I have a fast metabolism too and my thing is like I would work out and I would just like kind of lose weight as well and then I started taking a mask Gator and then I noticed like oh I can gain some weight honestly gaining weight is usually way harder for most people than it is to lose weight like it's just it's it's tough because you kind of have to be the same way you are a little uncomfortable when you're dieting and you're like a little hungry all the time it's kind of the opposite
16:52 way of you being like a little full yeah a lot of the time you feel like you're forcing yourself to eat to the point where you're like ████ I'm gonna throw up yeah you kind of have to have that little bit of discomfort like eventually you get you'll adjust to it but like also you got to make sure you're lifting doing all that stuff especially if you want to build muscle but like as far as like for most people like people that are like hard gainers or people that have like fast metabolisms it is hard to be consistently eating enough protein and enough calories every day because sometimes the numbers are like crazy like there's no way I could eat 3 000 calories in a day and do that seven days out the week for a ████ you know it's expensive time yeah it's expensive it takes a lot of time cooking so much time dude do you feel like when you're at your lightest that also coincided with some sort of space mentally for you yeah actually uh I feel like I was pretty
17:42 content with everything because at the time uh I was with um I was in a relationship I was living in a house where like everything was kind of the same and so I never felt the need to like really progress you know but then after a lot of things change you know break up move back here you know whatever I was just like dude Something's Gotta Go like and it just started making me like push more to like why okay if I'm only gonna be here like on this Earth for this long like this try to look as best as I can feel as best as I can whatever and just push it you know but then yeah I ultimately it just put me in a more positive uh habitat you know hey breakups are still the best you know I remember just like the discipline the juju to like just get ready like maybe
18:32 it's also coming off of the dynamic of being in like a long-term relationship where you start getting really comfortable you know what I mean yeah you're just a piece of ████ and then suddenly like when things aren't like really gonna work out or whatever or like you know you're broken up there's this there's this I just need to be the hottest guy in the world feeling yeah dude you know the crying between sets I think the biggest thing mentally was uh when you're content or whatever you're really unaware of a lot of things around you and so for me mentally I don't think I was at a good place because now I'm way more like aware of certain things and so my brain feels like it's actually doing work and being present you know that's true yeah and like like Nina said it takes just one candid photo to be like who the ████ is that for real my motivation right now is the bet I got going on with a friend of mine
19:23 was like I gotta have a six-pack and a six months from now oh bro you're right there dude six-pack shortcuts six pack shortcuts yeah yeah what's the bet though like a thousand bucks a thousand dollars wait are you betting with Kumail no no one of you who gets a six-pack first or who has a is if either if if he has a six-pack and I don't I owe him two G's I have a six-pack and he doesn't he owes me a grand what if both of us have a six-pack then no one knows anyone anything and if neither one of us have a six-pack then neither one of us owes anyone anything why do you have the short end of the state I think it's because I'm starting at a a better spot than he is so like he's he's in the you guys are adjusting for the odds yeah so what's your routine what are you doing uh for right now I'm on the calorie cutting portion of it uh and then I'll
20:14 I'm already kind of looking lean right yeah yeah see the striations yeah yeah so then at some point I'll start working out a lot heavier but right now it's just like because I also when I work out heavy I've been injured twice working on heavy and I had to like I had a hernia I was like no that was like that was a few years ago but I was working out I was going the Oscar so I'm getting ████ shape bro and then like that Row the back row I remembered specifically that night when I did this back exercise that night I went home and my balls hurt I was like oh I did something something's ████ up okay that's crazy when you're back doing back exercising your balls hurt yeah yeah a ████ uh uh row machine but not like uh not the actual row but it's like the chest press it's also a real thing you could adjust the machine okay I was
21:05 doing that I was like huh that's weird my balls hurt but then it didn't it didn't die yeah yeah yeah I don't I have a pump in my balls my testicle is getting so strong and then like at that night I was taking a ████ and it was just like oh that's not supposed to hurt like that oh ████ because hernia pain is just like random extremely sharp pain in your balls yeah and then next morning I woke up I was like a ████ doctor at City MD was like oh you just have a Barney I'm like ████ and they're like you gotta have surgery for that did you end up having to get surgery yeah I got surgery they put a little you know um a mesh uh thing in over where the hernia mesh yeah she's stupid wait so our hernia is like where are they located typically they're growing the groin like in front of like right
21:55 above your oh so it's in the abdominal area exactly and not in the bathroom it's your part of your intestine coming out of a hole in your abdominal cavity and it could be really bad or it could be manageable some a lot of most people's hernias are manageable um and you don't have to have surgery or they could just wear like a strap or something and then like a belt yeah you can have a belt but like the recommended procedure is surgery uh it's just like a mesh plate over I know a guy who has a hernia and he's like he's like I'll just push it back in yeah yeah that's what I just go about my day it's like that's like Audi so it's like muscle and it just pops through the muscle is that what it is yeah I don't know what the where the what the abdominal cavity itself is but there's like a hole in it and your intestines will come out of it you can just push it back in yeah it's ████ up the thought of that but the I don't know how they test it through the to find it they they grab
22:46 your balls and they like they poke inside and I guess like they can feel part of it for tubing out and it's like that's that's what causes the pain in the balls damn so you got to search in there every now and then you know you can do your own hernia check yeah yeah how do you check Pat did you ever have a did you ever have a period where you thought you were unhealthy I was like oh almost always well I was just skinny I was always like like really skinny I have a fast metabolism too blessed with a big dick too I'm sure yeah I just Tiny Dick I have a super small dick um ████ you dude but I I just would the same thing like just drinking too much never like to the like when I was younger I used to drink soda like a ████ bro like I remember like I would how many a day like four a day and like I was like all running around at the park and then I come home and just like instead of water just grab a Coca-Cola and just pound that ████ and I did that for years we
23:36 didn't know we're kids you know but still like you're Invincible yeah it's true still like God damn that can't be good you know and and just periods of my life where like I was just drinking out of hand like skinny and just drinking and drinking I was like all right I gotta chill the ████ out like I'm drinking literally for like three weeks straight but you never had any like health problems from that never I mean not like any serious health problems I used to have bad acne though like really bad acne oh yeah and then I went to a doctor and he I didn't want to take pills and he was like just stop eating meat for a while and then I was like he told me to go vegan but I didn't go vegan I just went vegetarian for like 10 months and my acne went away like that yeah and then it stayed away is that is that a source for acting for a lot of people me I don't know I don't know maybe not meat but the hormones inside the meat yeah I mean I told the story last time I was here but maybe I didn't but last in April or whatever I went I
24:28 went to the next game the the game that they lost to the Celtics and they had a uh David Chang sandwich restaurant in at Barclays Center it's a spicy chicken sandwich I ate that ████ and uh so spicy but delicious that night my wife had made like a Halal chicken and rice like that's what I I wanted it because I just come off a tour something like let's make that and I ate that too even though I had the spicy chicken sandwich that night I went to the my two days later like I had mad stomach pain I just thought I'd just there's uh eating too much indigestion or whatever and then um I thought I had uh uh what's it called some kind of food poisoning so I was just doing what they do Bart which is like bananas applesauce rice and toast which we were supposed to eat yeah it encourages the yeah yeah it just
25:19 helps like it prevents diarrhea because I have the coalescence you know big old fiber turns out turns out I had a bowel obstruction which is when your bowel was inflamed and it gets attached to like something in your body cavity which is like unknown but it gets attached to that so all the ████ I was doing all the fiber I was putting in was actually making it worse I said like crazy pain go to the hospital they put like this they oh you have bowel obstruction they put a tube through your nose into your stomach it's called the NG tube a nasogastric tube it's the worst thing I ever like my mood for those 12 hours that it was in was like was I was the grumpiest ████ there was it's terrible the incident came out I was like like my mood like immediately changed I was like nice to the doctors all this ████ but when that ████ was in my nose because you feel it you can't
26:10 not feel it it's in your throat and they can't go through your mouth because your gag reflex will act up so they have to go through your nose and then put it into your and they pump they're just pumping ████ it's literally like ████ out of your ████ through your oh through your nasal so you're literally seeing you should come out through your it's like bile and ████ and like air because it's all just built up in there actual ████ yeah like it's brown I don't know if it's a physical because I don't know if it's been fully digested but it's like it's at this part in your ████ oh it's still early ████ yeah yeah it's early ████ it's not your lower ████ yeah yeah and they're just doing it so it it it like decompresses your abdominal cavity in your intestines so that you can actually like you're saying you're moving you can move ████ science so for like four days after that ████ was done I couldn't eat anything
27:01 like I had to liquid diet only just water clear liquids only for the first three days it also sounds like a good diet plan tomato soup I'm bringing all that to say like my skin cleared up like I have like a look ████ Flawless everyone's like you're glowing man I'm gonna get balance actions every now and then yeah and G tube at home like it's like do it yourself like ████ like Diet is so much of your skin it impacts so much of everything you're doing but like my skin clear everything was glowing I felt hurt like I felt and normally if I'm that made me want to fast like like once a week I didn't but then maybe like I was like I shouldn't I should cleanse myself maybe you want to think about that idea yeah it's like oh this is a good I can see the value of it and that because I knew I couldn't eat like I was never
27:51 craving it I wasn't like I gotta eat oh you you weren't fighting discipline you were just like I don't want to die exactly I was like I don't want this ████ to happen again but by that third or fourth day I was just I was dreaming of tomato soup like anything I could eat I was just it's the only thing I thought about for like that fourth day I remember I hit a point where I was like I need something right now and that that I think the fourth day is when they say you could start eating like a little bit like I was melting saltine crackers in my ████ tomato soup that's a luxury at a certain point yeah yeah and it was the most the first sip of tomato soup I had after not only having water was the it was Campbell's and it was the greatest tomato soup I ever had it's all perspective it was so yeah
28:42 imagine one spoon just acne but like the skin thing is well it really hit me because I was like my like moderate acne went like I have like acne you can't see necessarily but my pores cleared up all the ████ yeah it's like God damn it's just all food [Music] foreign
