You made it weird. You made it weird. You made it weird. Oh yeah. You made it

Holmes. Yes you did. You made it weird. Oh yeah.
What's happening weirdos? This is the incredible Ethan Soupley who you may know
from things like My Name is Earl, American History X, Kevin Smith movies. I
personally know him from life but I'm also most admiring of his life
transformation, his body transformation.
Ethan was a very, very, very big person and he lost 300 pounds. But not only
that, he's gotten an incredible shape, a journey that he has chronicled on his
own podcast, American Glutton, which is an incredible podcast. I think I happen
to be the most current guest as well. So you can listen to me and Ethan
chatting there as well. We get into all sorts of wonderful things, his life,
his life philosophy. He's a very, very deeply interesting guy and a very
talented guy and a lovely friend.

pick? Just one Pete's pick up top, which is here. I'm showing it to the video
people.
This is my Apollo Neuro. As you guys know, I'm crazy about my Apollo Neuro. I'm
always talking about it. It is a wearable piece of tech. I wear it on the
inside of my wrist that delivers vibrations that speak to your nervous system
in a language that it can understand.
It's basically simulating the feeling and the sensation of like a wearable hug
that you, it's basically touch therapy to help you feel safe and in control.
You can wear it on your wrist or your ankle and those gentle soothing
vibrations train your nervous system over time.
And really the first time you use it, you start feeling it to recover and rebalance
after stress.
There's different settings for energy, feeling social, feeling clear, calm,
focused, rebuild and recovery.
Wonderful recovery after stress or physical recovery.
Calm, which is a great setting for meditation.
Relax, which is what I put it on at night when I'm trying to unwind and turn my
brain off.
And my favorite setting, fall asleep, which gently lulls you to sleep and lulls
you back to sleep if you're like me and sometimes wake up in the middle of the
night.
It's a wonderful chemical free way to get better sleep, better rest, better
relaxation.
And also it's a caffeine free way of getting more energy, more focus and more
drive, which is awesome.
It trains your nervous system to cope with stress better over time.
The more you use it, the better it works.
And it's not woo woo. I always say this.
It was developed by a neuroscientist and a board certified psychiatrist who had
been studying the impacts of chronic stress in humans for nearly 15 years.
And Apollo's effects on stress, sleep, cognitive performance and recovery have
been proven in multiple clinical trials and real world studies.
It's absolutely changed mine and Val's life.
We've given it away to dozens of people.
Absolutely a big life changing and a life hack, a life hack and helping us cope
with stress.

Enjoy my chat with my friend, Ethan Suplee.
Get into it.
Suops.
Oh, there you are.
Yes.
Suops.
Motherfucking Pete Holmes.
Suops.
What's going on, dude?
Are you home?
By the way, I've been home for one day and I got a sunburn.
Well, we've been in Toronto.
It's sunny here.
You're in Florida?
Yeah.
Florida?
Florida?
Five minutes in Florida and I've got a sunburn because Toronto bleached me of
melanin, I guess.
Yeah.
Well, it also gave me depression.
I don't know if it gave me depression, but since being home, the first thing I
did today, I thought of you.
I did a little coldy.
I did a little icy.
Yes.
And I was like, God, I got to watch it.
Like, I'm always telling people to do it.
Maybe some people just don't want to do it.
When we talked about it, remember you said, I'm sweating.
I got, it's, by the way, even you just saying this right now, there's such a
fear.
It's so crazy.
Yeah.
And, you know, because I haven't done it, I haven't been home in a week and I
hadn't done it in a week.
And just a week away from it made it like a new, like fresh and painful a new.
So I got in it and I was like, this is what you're telling people to do.
Like, I wasn't like, you weren't right.
Like a month from now, you're going to just be like, no, it's wonderful.
Back to that.
Yeah.
But it was good.
I'm sure you're, maybe you can relate when you haven't worked out or whatever
in a while.
And you go, oh, this is really hard.
I don't think you really do that anymore.
But like back when you did, I'm at that place with that.
I'm like, I got in and immediately thought of you, but I was in the sun.
That was part of it.
I was like, it was old Huberman.
Andrew Huberman was like the first thing you should do for your metabolism, for
your mood and everything.
Sun in the eyes.
Yeah.
Sun in the eyes.
No sunglasses.
Get it in the eyes.
Yeah.
So I, I'm fortunate that this is an overshare, but my bathroom, I can open the
window.
So the sun is coming in.
So like everybody's doing their, like I do a journaling thing in the morning on
my phone.
And so I just take a long sit pee.
Sure.
That maybe turns into a dumper route.
We don't know.
We don't know.
Like it's the luxury that ladies enjoy because ladies are always sitting.
They get, they're like, oh, I didn't know.
I had to take a shit.
Yeah.
It's just happening.
It's a, it's a bonus.
That's what shit happens means.
Actually.
We thought it meant bad things happen, but it's actually ladies seating.
It's good.
It's nice.
You feel better.
But I get that sun.
And when we were in Canada, I was like, it's not a foregone conclusion that you
live in
a place where that exists.
That's where like seasonal effective lights and all that sort of stuff has to
come into
play because I was hurting for it.
Yeah.
Real bad.
And I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I, you know, we were staying in a
downtown area,
but even like New York is sunnier than Toronto.
At least the time of year.
Yeah.
I kept saying that and they were like, well, in the summer it's sunny.
And I was like, oh, right.
Of course, I guess.
And towards the end of our filming, it started to get sunny, but I, I'm a
little bit that way.
I'll, if I go to Toronto six times and it's overcast the whole time, I'll just
go ahead
and assume it's overcast the whole year.
Yeah.
It's more, it's more weird because even where, even on days where it wasn't
like cloudy,
it wasn't sunny.
It's so, it's so foreign to my experience.
The sun just skips it.
The sun just doesn't go over Canada.
Yeah.
But what that does to you, and I actually wrote it down.
I've never talked to you and we're recording.
That's okay.
Right?
Okay.
Yeah.
We're, we're, we're getting weird.
I already talked about how women, I think, take more dumps because every time
they pee, they
sit down.
Right.
And, and I think that they're hopeful also.
There's a hopefulness.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that just going to happen?
It could happen.
They're just more in the flow.
And I think it's just because they're sitting down to pee.
We thought it was estrogen.
We thought it was conditioning or culture or childbirth or whatever it is.
It's because they're sitting down to pee.
Yeah.
I, you know, I have four daughters and a wife and now a granddaughter, so I'm
surrounded
by women.
Yeah.
And it was, uh, decades ago that I began regularly sitting down.
I understand the morning, you're tired, you're half asleep, but there was
something about like
just the, just the act of re-lowering the toilet seat for me.
I was like, I'm going to cut out the middleman.
I'm just going to sit.
And I've had like super macho friends who, uh, desire this to be a state of emasculation,
right?
You're sitting to pee.
How dare you?
First of all, I'm going to cut you to the end.
Me too.
I'm already there.
I'm already there, but I love the man.
Of course.
Why stand when you can sit, which I believe Queen Elizabeth said about baths.
I'm saying about urination, it's the best.
And also it's sort of nasty.
It's just sort of nasty, like draining the hose, getting it everywhere.
Splashing.
I'm too old for this shit.
I'm too old for this piss.
Yeah.
So just like lay it off.
I, I, I don't even know that my wife knows this and, and she would be very
angry.
But fuck it.
We're sharing and we're weird.
Um, I will occasionally go outside to pee standing up.
That's a difference.
And I go like, I am, I am man now and I'm doing something super rugged.
And yes, you know, that is a special thing.
Val was in the bathroom just this morning and I really had to pee.
And I briefly was like, do I give myself the outdoor glory?
Right.
Do I give myself, there's a national lyric.
Actually, I think it's on the LVI.
It's Matt Berninger from the national.
And he says, um, there's a lyric about his dick being in sunlight and that
being like the greatest
thing.
And I was like, yeah, there really is something special about just like outdoor.
Oh, yeah.
I almost did that, that I'm glad I still have, because that's the correct use
of outdoor pee.
But indoors, I also just love that you can do it without disrupting, like, like
any flow,
like flow, like Val and I are talking and I'm just sitting out and I'm peeing
and it's not,
it's not even really acknowledged.
It's just like a thing.
It's like a lesbian relationship.
I mean, we watch Blossom at night.
We're both sitting to pee.
We love chatting more than I love, like, declaring the toilet is mine in the
animal kingdom.
Yeah.
I love, but I love that you as a symbol, like you've become like a masculine.
Everyone expects me to admit that.
I love the, already a great episode for me that you've joined me in the
celebration of it.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I think it's, I think that there's some part of me that.
At home.
Yeah.
Yes.
This isn't an at-home thing.
It seems to me to be more hygienic.
You know, there's, there's less splash happening.
Of course.
Of course.
You know, it saves me the trouble of raising and lowering a seat.
It's the lazy man's choice.
It's also just the smart man's choice.
And once I'm in the wild, if I'm in like a park bathroom or something, it's, it's
a,
it's a joy to not have to press my hams on that disgusting porcelain.
Sure.
That's, that's what it's for.
Sure.
God knew what he was doing.
He's like, surely the male of the species will still sit to urinate unless he's
in a park
bathroom.
That's why the option is there.
Right.
Where even if I had to go number two, it would crawl back up inside me at the
site of a public
bathroom.
We're not doing it.
We're not doing it.
That is so funny.
Here's my, I did want to know about Florida, but now I'm thinking about this.
We're not doing the Ethan's Dupley.
Like, tell me about your journey.
Like I, it exists.
People can find your motherfucking journey.
The journey's out there.
Here's what I want.
But, but here's what I want to know.
And a little bit of my appreciation of your journey is baked into the question
is you've
become a person.
And I told you this when I did your podcast, but like when I don't want to work
out and
everybo
