I've shown my blood work because people sometimes say like, you're on TRT. And no, I'm not. I've never taken it.

You can look at the gonadotropins, so you can just get blood work for LH, which is luteinizing hormone, and FSH. Those are the signals from the pituitary gland to the testicles. So you can test to see if people are on TRT. And it's very obvious when someone is, at least in terms of their blood work, you can tell. But if a man needs it,

You know, some of these operators come back from overseas and war and they have damaged testicles from concussive injuries or people can have PTSD with traumatic brain injury. And sometimes the signals are not coming from the brain. Sometimes the testicles are actually physically damaged in rugby injuries or football injuries. Fine. But a lot of men end up on TRT.

And this is a symptom of the overall problem, which is the fact that we are not eating and sleeping well.

Okay, so we've got nicotine pouches. Yes. Vape. Yep. Marijuana. Yep. Cigarettes and cigars. Yes. I think cigars are the least risky.

Okay.
Yeah. I'm not a fan of vaping. There are oils in the vape that have been linked to certain types of pneumonia in the lungs. And I just think vaping is gross and people shouldn't be doing it. Cigarettes are obviously horrible because the tobacco is full of pesticides and other additives. The marijuana is linked to all sorts of hormonal issues in humans. It lowers androgens in men.

I think that for most people, marijuana is very clearly a negative thing in their life. And then the pouches, I mean, look, nicotine occurs naturally in the human body, but they're quite addictive. And I think that they're sort of the next epidemic of people kind of messing with their neurotransmitters and these signaling molecules in the human body in a not great way.

And you asked me for the best one. I'm not saying... Cigars are great, but if you actually have a high-quality tobacco leaf without a lot of pesticides, I think it's the most benign of anything in there. I don't smoke. I don't even smoke cigars. But if you want to have a cigar every once in a while, it's a different actual entity than a cigarette from Marlboro.
