Showing by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.
We're debuting these mugs. My friend Turkey Merc on Instagram sent me these Cheshire Cat mugs. Isn't that badass?
Yeah, that's really good.
I thought it would be good for you because we're talking about mind fucks. Cheshire Cat's a little bit of a mind fuck. In the simulation. Yeah, for sure. So you were just telling me that you had a brain disease. And what did you do to fix it? What was it, first of all?
It's temporal lobe epilepsy with mesial temporal sclerosis. And when did you develop this? We don't know, but I started having seizures like a few years ago. And everybody in my family knows I'm a neuroscientist. I'd say with a lowercase n, not a Ph.D. neuroscientist. But you studied neuroscience. Yeah. I had postgrad at Harvard and Duke.
But they assumed, you know, Chase has studied all this stuff. He's going to know if he's having seizures. But these seizures come with amnesia. So I didn't remember that I was having any of them. And this was like three years ago. I had retired from the military and then started having these seizures. So then I found a neurologist.
The drug that they gave me, the number one side effect was seizures. From this pharmaceutical company. So I kind of looked around and I found this guy. He's a functional medicine guy. And he got me on methylene blue to start off. And I know Mel Gibson was on here talking about it. And that instantly stopped everything. And some other stuff. It was a fabric dye, right? Yeah, in 1890. How weird.
Who the fuck drank it first? Yeah.
