The following is a conversation with Mr. Beast, the mastermind behind some of the most epic and popular videos ever made. And now a quick few second mention of each sponsor. Check them out in the description. It's the best way to support this podcast. We got House of Macadamias for a satiating and delicious snack. Eight Sleep for, you guessed it, naps. And BetterHelp for mental health. Choose wisely, my friends. snacks, naps, or mental health. And now on to the full ad reads. As always, no ads in the middle. I try to make this interesting, but if you skip them, please still check out our sponsors. I enjoy their stuff. Maybe you will too. This show is brought to you by House of Macadamias. It seems like it was just yesterday that they became a sponsor and I became aware of their existence because before they became a sponsor, they sent a giant box of delicious snacks.
And it seems just like it was yesterday that I ate all of those snacks over a period of a few days and was a happier man for it. This month, I'm much stricter on my diet and trying to be much more responsible with my consumption of snacks. I think moderation is key for that. But in general, I think, first of all, macadamia, to me, I think, is one of the more delicious nuts, but it is definitely the healthiest or at least one of the most healthy. I think it's pretty much the healthy. I remember when I first started keto many, many years ago, I did a bunch of research on which nuts I can and can't have, I guess, if I want to be ultra low carb. And everybody recommended macadamia as like the one that has all these nutrients and all that kind of stuff.
I'm sure there's a lot of science. You can look it up. I think there's like, omega-7s or whatever, those different kinds of fats. It doesn't matter. The points are delicious. And the raw ingredient of the macadamia nut that House of Macadamias provides is just delicious, and of course they do all kinds of snacks around that. And my task, whenever I do an ad read or talk to anybody, like my neighbors or friends, about House of Macadamias, is not to do any sexual innuendo. That's job number one. My brain is that of a silly person. At heart, I'm still a child, and I will forever remain a child. Like that Tom Waits song, I don't want to grow up. Maybe that's not even the name of the song or the lyrics, but I'm just going to go with it.
And this is a good chance to mention that Tom Waits is somebody that I've dreamed of talking to on this podcast for a long time. He's a very difficult interview to get. He's dropped a few crumbs to me of hope, you know, saying like, yes, maybe one day. So I hold on to that hope like a hold on to the delicious house of macadamia nuts with childlike joy in my eyes. Go to HowsomeAcademia.com to get 20% off your first order. This episode is also brought to you by 8sleep and its new Pod 3 mattress. There's been a few days over the past, let's say, three weeks where I've been extremely stressed because of several things going on in my life. You know how life is. It's an up and down process. Both the ups and downs contribute to the beauty of the whole experience.
Anyway, when things are kind of difficult, I saw an escape in friends, in books, in moments of simple joy, in moments of peace. And I think the best escape is a good nap. A full night's sleep, of course, but also a good nap. It's kind of magical how much your mind can just become completely refreshed. The beauty of the world can be richly rediscovered through the process of a nap. It's incredible. Just 20, 30 minutes. It's kind of amazing. At least my brain is like that. So sometimes when I'm feeling crappy, I'll just give it a nap. I'll give it a good night's sleep and see how I feel again in the morning. And almost always, if not right away, just maybe a couple of times, I'll feel better. Anyway, that's why you want to really make sure that the surface, the mattress, all kinds of technology that you surround yourself with in terms of sleep, you use the best stuff.
And that's why I look forward to sleeping on that cool surface that an 8sleep cover provides.
