Food Is Code and Humor Is a Metabolic Event

What begins with striped zebras, breast milk, and suspicious protein powder becomes an exploration of food as informational code. Max and LuLu argue that each input changes the body’s geometry, perception, intelligence, and capacity for humor—from carnivore downloads and fruit consciousness to cake people, sausage people, and the transformational consequences of pissing in someone’s wine.

Chapter One: Sponsored by LuLu’s Breast Milk

Max: I’m going to put this as a recorded audio message.

This is with audio. I think this is a good one for us to record.

Lydy-Lu, who’s dressed in striped red leopard—

LuLu: Striped red zebra.

Max: Striped red zebra.

We’d like to tell you that she loves you and that she would lick your face.

Jungle Witch style.

Simultaneously, we want you to know that within there is the power.

The power to overcome.

The power to rouse.

The power to take out the trash, you lazy son of a buttered biscuit.

She’s thick.

LuLu: Yeah, but it tastes weird.

Is it only protein powder? Nothing else?

Max: Straight protein powder, homie.

LuLu: It tastes like it has your mother’s milk in it too, or something. It tastes really weird.

Max: It’s probably delish, bro.

LuLu: Your mom’s breast milk.

Max: I’m nodding in agreement.

I still remember my mother’s breast milk. It’s delicious.

LuLu: I’m jealous right now. My breast milk is delicious.

Max: Sponsored by LuLu’s breast milk.

Chapter Two: Grapes Affect Your Mental State

Max: We’re in wine country. Lots of wine being grown.

What I do think is that food impacts your psychological state very distinctly.

I figured this out in 2018, when I went on a very strange bender and put Post-it notes all over the wall in the basement of an old house in rural Wisconsin.

One of them said:

Food affects your mental state.

Different foods affect different things.

I believe the first item I put on that list was a grape.

Grapes affect your mental state. So, if you are experiencing strange mental states, change the grapes you are eating.

The green grape. The red grape.

Because everything is a code.

A red grape is a different code from a green grape. Grapes in general are a different spectrum of code from chocolate chip cookies made with generic wheat.

It has a different geometry. Therefore, it digests differently.

It’s code onto your body.

Chapter Three: Seeing the Whole Valley

LuLu: I keep seeing how, in certain states—and I don’t have that state right now—but in certain moments when I’ve been in a different state, it was like I could look at anything and understand what was happening.

The tree. In the tree. The bird in the tree. The insects around the tree. How they were all working together.

How that tree was connected to something happening across the valley on the other side. What was being communicated.

It’s all connected.

The different proportions of food-slash-code being assembled in our body, and how they impact us, either enhance the body technology or dim the body technology.

Max: For example.

LuLu: Examples of food?

Max: Examples of examples.

LuLu: I don’t know what kind of examples you’re looking for. Can you give me an example?

Chapter Four: Carnivore Data and Fruit Data

LuLu: I’ll give you an example.

When I did a carnivore diet, I was basically eating meat, raw goat kefir from an Amish farm, salt—and that’s about it.

At that time, most of the downloads I was getting were about the body, fascia, and the Earth.

Then, when I would go on high-fruit diets—eating fruits that are very high up off the ground, like coconuts, cherries, and pears—I would get a different type of dataset and have a very different experience of the world.

Max: I will give examples. Thank you, Lydia.

Chapter Five: The Piss-in-the-Wine Test

Max: For example, if I were to pee in your wine glass and you drank it, would you have the same experience as wine in your wine glass?

LuLu: No.

Max: You wouldn’t.

This is what I mean.

You think this is dramatic. It is not.

It is all within you, friend.

A delicious glass of wine is far different from a less-delicious glass of wine. It’s a different input. It’s like a totally different input.

For example, if I did not piss in your wine glass and instead put Everclear—the highest proof of alcohol available—in that cup, you would have a very different experience, wouldn’t you?

You might find yourself at a shopping mall, lying face-down, trying to discover where indeed the water fountain has gone that you were once swimming in.

LuLu: I think the thing coloring Max’s experience right now and altering his consciousness is five days of shitty food.

Max: No, I’m having fun.

Lydia did not know that I used to have fun before I met her.

Chapter Six: Cake People and Sausage People

Max: The point is simply that what you eat changes your experience.

If it had been full of coffee in your wine glass, you’d have a very different experience.

In the same way, a grape—a red grape, a green grape, and a blue grape—creates different shifts in your body.

Cake versus sausage does very different things.

Sausage people generally work hard. Cake people generally don’t.

For example, cake people will be in a café enjoying the outdoors from the indoors, while a fruit person will be outdoors enjoying the outdoors from the outdoors.

While a silverback gorilla will also be outdoors.

An indoor silverback gorilla is much different from an outdoor silverback gorilla.

We’re passing by a castle right now on the edge of a cliff.

It’s pretty fucking cool.

LuLu: It is a big castle.

Chapter Seven: The Symphony of Having Enough

Max: The point is that the food you eat shifts your state—and the potential for the state.

What I just put out—the humor I put out—came from me playing a dynamic symphony within myself, which became available because I had my needs met.

This peanut butter has lots of fat and protein. I just ate rice cakes.

I was living in this balanced flow, so I was able to access many different things.

If you eat only bread, you’re only able to access certain parts of yourself. If you eat only milk, only certain parts of yourself. Only meat, only certain parts of yourself.

They say: diversify your inputs.

The key is, if you randomly diversify them, you’re going to have random experiences.

You want to be selective.

This peanut butter is made of one ingredient: peanuts.

And probably the machine oils from the machine they process it with, and the cleaning solvents, and all of those things.

And one-sixteenth of a cricket allowed per law, I hear, per tablespoon or something.

It gave me the opportunity for this profound experience.

If this had been a twelve-ingredient peanut butter—Skippy or something—I have no idea. Maybe sugar and salt and vegetable palm oil and a lot of that.

That probably would have only fired my gallbladder.

And I couldn’t be funny.

Potentially.

You might say, “Well, what about people who can be funny no matter what they eat?”

They’re probably eating enough.

Generally, these kind of chubbier people seem to be having the best time. Generally, they’re probably eating enough, so they’re able to make life funny.

They’re able to have an enjoyable experience.

People who starve are generally having a much more stressful time—which is a different goal set.

This has been a long recording, so I will end it here.

11:11.

I thank you for connecting and listening to this podcasting experience.

Once again, this has been sponsored by LuLu’s breast milk.

Thanks for watching.
