Alright, you are back with comedian of Boyle and I'm quitting alcohol, so an investigation needs to be conducted. Today I fucking shaved my head, I shaved my beard, to get ready for the writing session, which was released today, writing session number two, a bit of fun, you got to see a little bit of fucking D in there, a little bit of dick, not mine, but if you want to find out who's it was, join the Patreon, anyway, investigation needs to be done, shaved my head, shaved my beard, and I was looking at my beard, and I shaved it maybe two or three weeks

ago, and when I shaved it two or three weeks ago, there was like maybe three or four grays in there, and I was feeling very happy with myself, I was like fucking thick, dark, brown, fucking young beard, no hair on my head, but the beard is lush and it's thick and it's colour, then I go fucking shaved my beard today and I'm fucking hoping, I'm hoping because I'm looking at my head and I'm going fucking at least I've got a fucking thick lush brown beard and I look in it and there's like 20 grays, maybe even 25, I didn't count every single one of them, but I was shocked, I'm like what the fuck is going on here, it's only been three weeks, what has changed? So I started thinking about what's changed, and a lot's changed to be fair, a lot's

been going on in those three weeks, maybe even a month, whenever I got my blood test back, so I ran through it, what have I added, what have I subtracted? Well my diet has had a giant overhaul, minimum saturated fat, I'm eating a lot of sardines, I'm eating a lot of fucking lentils, I'm eating a little bit of chicken, a bit of salmon here, a bit of tuna there, mainly sardines though, I'm fucking chia seeds, I'm actually drinking soy milk at the moment too, I'm seeing how that goes, I'm seeing how that fucking rolls, it's not the most delicious thing in the world but fucking whatever, so chia seeds, protein data, all that has sort of remained the same, so I've added, I don't have that much, I have like 400 mils a day, that's probably a little bit too much, I might crank that back down to 200, because I have two shakes actually, so I've taken, I wasn't eating that

much meat prior to it, so I can't say it was really like red meat or anything like that because I wasn't eating a lot of that, I was eating a lot of yogurt and I was eating a lot of eggs and I was drinking a lot of full cream fucking raw milk, but a lot of that was only new on the scene since I got to the US, so I'm sort of canceling most that out, it probably wouldn't hurt to chuck a couple of eggs in there once or twice a week, I might ease back into it but I just want to go hard until I get my next blood test anyway, so I can't imagine it's any of the food I'm eating, my diet is pretty on point, the supplements, I added about two weeks ago, ashwagandha, now I didn't really look into it, I didn't do any research on it, I was just like yes, I want some, it's meant to be good for you,

so I added that, now I don't know if it's doing anything, I don't know if it's doing anything to me at all, I don't even know what it's meant to be doing, I think it's meant to help with sleep and tea, so I don't know, maybe it could be that, it could be the ashwagandha, I've also, well my Amiga series of fucking gone through the roof now, so it might be that as well, I've come off Metformin for the last three weeks or a month, so it's possibly that, I only went off it because I had a bad sleep one night after I took it but it might not have even been the Metformin, so the Metformin might have been the thing keeping me young, I might have to jump back on that, the other thing is I've been cranking up my cardio, like I've been going hard on cardio like four hours a week, zone two and three for the

last three weeks, so maybe my body's adjusting to that, maybe the cardio is just sucking the life out of my fucking chin hair, that's a possibility as well, the other possibility is I've had a string of bad nights in a row now, like what's happening now, I finally got the bed time sorted, this is the second investigation, I am conducting two simultaneous investigations because the last four or five nights in a row, I have gone to bed, I've fallen asleep beautifully and I've woken up at like 5am, 5am, 515, 530, on the money and I'll just fucking wake up, bolt fucking upright, not like that but I'll just get jolted awake and I will not be able to fall asleep and that's happened like five nights in a row, now that also could be caused by several things but the one of narrowed that

down to is the blue blocking sunglasses, so I'm thinking because I usually put these fucking blue blockers on at like 7pm, so I'm thinking my body is stunned to wind down at 7pm but I'm still not going to sleep until like 1130, and 1130 is great if I can sleep till 715, which I haven't been able to, so I've been getting like fucking 5, 5 and a half hours sleeps and it hasn't been fucking good, and that is now fucking 10 days of bad sleeps, I haven't had a green one in over 10 days, it's not on my screen, it's just all yellow, all yellow and reds, so I'm thinking blue blocking sunglasses might be fucking me, so today I changed it around a little bit, I put the blue blockers on just before, which is about 9pm,

so we'll see, that's an extra two hours, and hopefully I get a little bit more sleep, so that's the first investigation into the wake up time, more importantly the grey beard, it could be numerous things, it could be a combination of all of it, it could even be like, and this is possible, I doubt it though, it could be that I'm just an old cut now, and the gates have opened, I'd been holding it back for years, and now it's just coming, and there's nothing I can do about it, which I refuse to believe, I don't want to have fat hips a grey beard, and a bald head, that's chaos, that's chaos for the spirit, anyway I got to figure it out, I don't think if I cut Ashwood Gundar out, I don't think that's going

to make a fucking difference at all, I feel like it might be the metformin, so maybe I'll jump back on that, but I need to get a good night's sleep tonight to recalibrate, and I'm on the verge of taking a fucking gummy just to get a good eight hours in, but I don't want to have to fucking rely on that, I just want to go to sleep, I want to fall asleep, and I want to wake up to my alarm, my dream was always to live a life where you don't have to wake up to your alarm, but I meant like sleeping in and not waking up to your alarm, I didn't mean wake up before your alarm, so we'll see how tonight goes, it's just another fucking thing, another fucking fucking thing, you do everything right and then all of a sudden your fucking can't sleep past 5am, anyway that'll do for tonight and I'll see you the
