00:00Let's see what's in this goodie bag.
00:06I've got mealworms.
00:07They're just wonderful.
00:08Now with these, I've got to be careful.
00:10Poor little fella.
00:10People could be very judgmental about something like that.
00:13Sometimes I've got to hide them in the house.
00:15Oh my God.
00:16Carlos!
00:17Absolutely grotesque.
00:18The problem is you are contaminating your body.
00:22He is on the verge of having every single organ affected.
00:27Now I'm ready for the good stuff.
00:29In the mornings, I'll get a fresh batch,
00:31which means it came directly out of my husband.
00:34Product has arrived, babe.
00:36I love the way that it feels on my skin.
00:38It has a very sticky texture to it.
00:40My golden product.
00:42I'm just like floored.
00:44Flabbergasted.
00:45Shocked.
00:48I am a makeup artist.
00:50I could go through one of these in like five to seven days.
00:53Actually, I don't think anyone at this point knows.
00:56I probably should have warned you.
00:59Are you mad?
01:01I just was like, why?
01:03I will make the packaging right there.
01:04You know what?
01:17You're ready.
01:18Oh yeah, this guy's making us an adult pink-toe tarantula.
01:29I mean, were it not for the price, I might actually indulge.
01:39Hey, how's it going, man?
01:40I'm curious, what about these live bugs that you carry here?
01:44Would you go as far as saying they're food-grade?
01:47Uh, for like, yeah, for lizards.
01:50For lizards, okay.
01:51Tell you what, I have $8 right now.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Let's just do a mix of the mealworms and the roaches.
01:58Okay.
01:59My name is Carlos, I'm 26 years old.
02:01I've recently lost my job and I'm unemployed.
02:03I live in Chicago, Illinois.
02:05Cool.
02:07Yeah, no worries.
02:08Huh.
02:17And I'm addicted to eating live bugs.
02:31Ever since I can remember as a child, at a very young age, I always had a curiosity about eating them.
02:35How old were you when you first ate a live bug?
02:38It's hard to say, but my earliest memory as a child was when I was like four years old.
02:44And I was eating bugs at that age, so I think it'd be safe to say about that age, but probably earlier.
02:49It kind of feels good in your mouth.
02:51It, like, massages your tongue a bit, you know?
02:53Yeah.
02:54You know?
02:55I'm usually not used to seeing people eat live bugs.
02:58I mean, we're a reptile-specific store, so all our feeders are for reptiles.
03:03Cockroaches.
03:06When they're fresh, I can't resist eating them right away, even if there's people around.
03:09Oh, my God, I can hear the crunch.
03:11Yeah.
03:12You know, I like to let them swarm in my mouth a little bit.
03:14You know, I like to play with my food.
03:16I've never seen anyone eat anything like that, and in person, that was so nasty.
03:21So, so crunchy.
03:22It sounded like a bag of chips.
03:23I mean, do you want to try some?
03:24They're pretty good.
03:25Oh, okay.
03:26Tastes like custard.
03:27Tastes like custard?
03:28Yeah.
03:29On the inside.
03:31Oh, yeah.
03:32Fair enough.
03:35I will certainly be coming back.
03:36All right.
03:37Have a great day.
03:46Perfect.
03:47Nobody's home.
03:49Let's see what's in this goodie bag.
03:52Okay, so I've got mealworms.
03:55Contender for, like, one of my most favorite insects.
03:59And my favorite thing about them is the flavor.
04:02It's a lot like buttered popcorn.
04:04Yeah, they're just wonderful.
04:05I mean, they look like noodles.
04:06They don't really put up as much of a fight as some other bugs.
04:09You know?
04:10Some other bugs do bite.
04:11I mean, it's part of the fun, but it's not always what I'm looking for.
04:16There you go.
04:17I'm just gonna...
04:20I'm not gonna lie.
04:21I do kind of get a bit of a kick out of, like, that little, like, swarming sensation in my mouth.
04:26You know, I love how it just tickles my throat.
04:28There's an earthiness, sort of, you know, with some notes of, like, buttery, ooh, like, velvety,
04:35like, some kinds of French cheeses, I would assume.
04:39It's certainly an acquired taste.
04:42Ooh.
04:43Oh.
04:44Oh, no.
04:45Mm-hmm.
04:46Okay.
04:47I mean, this is what makes it worth it.
04:50It's, like, when it, like, squiggles around your mouth.
04:57Very rewarding.
04:58You don't get that from any other kind of food.
05:00I guarantee.
05:01Maybe octopus.
05:02Well, if you're lucky.
05:04You eat other food, too, right?
05:07I mean, yes, of course.
05:09I eat other foods.
05:10But, I mean, I don't know.
05:11I mean, I just prefer meaty bugs.
05:13Ooh.
05:14Oh, come, my pretties.
05:15They aren't getting off that easy.
05:18All right.
05:19Oh, my precious little worms.
05:22I feel like my palate has matured over time, and I do prefer them live.
05:27Now, with these, I gotta be careful.
05:28Like, they're the biggest concern as far as, like, you know, escape.
05:32See, it's putting up a fight.
05:34Not much, though, because it's been refrigerated.
05:39Poor little fella.
05:40You know, I can eat up to 100 of these in one day.
05:43You know, especially if I'm, like, substituting, like, a conventional meal.
05:46Crickets has a more vegetal taste.
05:57But, typically, this is more, like, a delicacy.
06:02I'm pretty animalistic and primal about it.
06:04I mean, I just, I just eat them.
06:07Mm-hmm.
06:12Mm.
06:13I mean, I guess that is, you know, like, channeling the inner predator, right?
06:17That's, you know, there might be something holy there, if you look.
06:22I don't know.
06:23Oh.
06:25Another favorite of mine.
06:26They're called Dubai roaches.
06:28Dubai is known for, like, its wealth.
06:29And, you know, there's, like, Dubai chocolate.
06:31You know, it's, uh, why not?
06:35Mm.
06:36Mm.
06:37Mm.
06:38Ooh.
06:39Mm.
06:40Mm.
06:41This little guy.
06:42Cute.
06:43Cute.
06:44No, no, no, no, no.
06:45Mm.
06:46When I eat and chew live bugs, it makes me feel like I am the master of their destiny.
06:52That feeling doesn't really last too long, because then the craving just, uh, kicks.
06:56Yeah.
06:58Yeah.
06:59And no matter how punitive that feeling may sound, like, you know, it gives me, uh, you know,
07:03some semblance of control.
07:05Hmm.
07:06Maybe that wasn't fair to the bug, but, uh, it does taste pretty good.
07:10I think the mealworms have, like, an edge as far as, like, flavor.
07:14These ones are a little bit more aggressive, and sometimes they, like, bite, so I like to
07:18kind of, like, at least chomp the head and then, like, you know.
07:22Oh.
07:23Oh, I just pinched my mouth.
07:26Yeah.
07:27Do you like a food that bites back?
07:31I do, yes.
07:32I do like food that bites back.
07:34I like a certain, like, boldness and intensity in my food.
07:37I don't know why I like it, but I do.
07:39Uh, it alienates me from people, which is a shame, how people could be very judgmental
07:44about something like that.
07:46Yeah.
07:47I'm really just eating them in secret sometimes.
07:49Sometimes I gotta hide them in the house.
07:51Just, just, just out of, like, shame.
07:56And it's just a really dark place to be in, you know.
07:59I find myself craving eating bugs the most in times of crisis.
08:03And, uh, yeah, it really is a coping mechanism.
08:08Times aren't easy.
08:11Baby.
08:12I recently became a father, uh, about 10 months ago.
08:16And, uh, it's pretty tough, uh, being a young dad and, you know, being in between jobs.
08:24And what makes it even more difficult is my partner Ashley does not eat bugs.
08:29I just don't think that it's her thing, you know.
08:32I think she's somebody who has the choice of, uh, hey, do you want to eat bugs or not?
08:36And she just happens to be, you know, I don't really want to eat bugs.
08:42Oh, my God.
08:43When I first found out about Carlos' bugging, I thought it was, I guess, cute.
08:52But as time has gone on, it's become evident that it's a major crutch for him.
08:58What?
09:00I don't think that she's too keen on my, uh, craving live bugs.
09:05Oh, my God.
09:07And I can't ignore it anymore.
09:09Carlos!
09:10We talked about this!
09:12But there's no way that I'm going to stop eating bugs.
09:14But there's no way that I'm going to stop eating bugs.
09:15So, right now, I'm removing all my makeup off.
09:18I'm getting the skin nice and clean.
09:20Preparation is key.
09:21This is my girl.
09:22My name is Brandi.
09:23I'm getting the skin nice and clean.
09:27I'm missing my girl.
09:28My name is Brandi.
09:29I live in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
09:30I am a licensed cosmetologist.
09:31I am a licensed cosmetologist.
09:32I have a full background in skincare, all things cosmetology.
09:34Okay, now I'm ready for the good stuff.
09:37Okay, now I'm ready for the good stuff.
09:38Hmm.
09:39Product has arrived, babe.
09:41Thanks, baby.
09:42Looks like you worked hard for it.
09:43I'm getting the skin nice and clean.
09:45I'm getting the skin nice and clean.
09:46Preparation is key.
09:47I'm missing my girl.
09:48My name is Brandi.
09:49I live in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
09:51I am a licensed cosmetologist.
09:52I have a full background in skincare, all things cosmetology.
09:58Okay, now I'm ready for the good stuff.
10:01Hmm.
10:02Product has arrived, babe.
10:03Thanks, baby.
10:04Looks like you worked hard for it.
10:06Of course I did.
10:07This is good.
10:08This is really good.
10:10And I'm addicted to semen facials.
10:14Just like that.
10:38I've been giving myself semen facials for about four years now.
10:43I love the way that it feels on my skin.
10:45It's nice and smooth.
10:46It has a very sticky texture to it.
10:48And I also love the glow that it gives me at the end of the day.
11:00I like to call my husband's semen the product.
11:04I usually give myself a semen facial, I would say, twice a day.
11:08In the mornings, I'll get a fresh batch,
11:10which usually means it came directly out of my husband,
11:14and then later on in the night.
11:16I really love the way that it feels,
11:18especially when it's fresh and warm.
11:21And then once I see that it's exactly where I want it to be,
11:23I go in and start to press in the semen.
11:27Just like this.
11:30And it's just giving me that plumpness that I really love.
11:34The semen facials started off as something that I really enjoyed doing just on different parts of my skin.
11:40And I then decided to move that into the bathroom to see what else I could make of it.
11:46I think my first reaction to Brandi requesting the semen facials was absolutely not.
11:53You know, I kind of didn't want my wife doing that.
11:57But once we had the conversation,
11:59she showed me some things that she looked at online as far as research and the benefits,
12:04and she pleaded her case.
12:06I think the turning point was just more sex, right?
12:10More times that I wouldn't have to ask for sex,
12:14or there wouldn't be any pressure to, you know, do anything extra to get sex.
12:20So, yeah, I was all for that.
12:25So I have a picture of what my skin looked like before I started doing this.
12:29I had a lot of redness right here on my forehead, as you can see.
12:32Even some hyperpigmentation right there
12:35and how much of a difference it's been after about a few months in this picture here.
12:44So one of the other ways that I like to store the semen is in these ice trays.
12:50I like to keep it nice and tucked away in our freezer so that our kids can't grab it.
12:55So I make these what I like to call noobs.
12:58Noob is basically nut and ice cube.
13:01Nut is semen, so I just combine the two together and you have a noob.
13:06When I know that my husband is going to be gone from me,
13:09let's say he's gone for a weekend, I know to go ahead and stock up.
13:13I've definitely become obsessed with the product.
13:17I don't like to go 12 hours without it.
13:19I can't go 24 hours without it.
13:22There you go. Fill it up.
13:29There's no other product that I have in my regimen that can fully replace the benefits of it.
13:34There's no secret that I have to supply her every day.
13:37So I have a refuel process where I definitely am drinking a lot of water,
13:41getting a lot of different fluids in me.
13:43I try to make sure I have it to her before she adds so I don't get my head bitten off.
13:46If my husband wanted to stop giving me his semen, I'd probably ask him why.
13:51That's the first question I would ask.
13:54I wouldn't be happy about it.
13:57I'm so used to using it all the time and reaching for it.
14:00It does stress me out when I don't have it.
14:08Oh, what we got?
14:10Got everything you need.
14:13You did good.
14:14That's a good one.
14:17I will never stop giving myself semen facials.
14:20I need the semen.
14:22I'm pulling over.
14:23I need to get my makeup sponge here.
14:25Okay.
14:27Okay, I got my sponge.
14:28I feel better.
14:29I struggle with this addiction, but I'm just ready to be like,
14:32you know what?
14:33This is what I do.
14:34You don't like it?
14:35It's my flat ass.
14:36Get over it, bitch.
14:38Pineapple mojito.
14:40No.
14:41When he eats things that are more on the acidic side,
14:44it affects my skin in certain ways.
14:46Make sure you drink your water now.
14:48It's a lot to keep up with her skincare demands.
14:50I definitely see some frustration on her end.
14:53Definitely some attitude.
14:54Loaded.
15:08My name's Anthony.
15:09I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and I am a makeup artist.
15:23I'm also a great performer.
15:25I like to think of myself as an icon a little bit.
15:27And I'm addicted to eating makeup.
15:40I really don't know exactly how much I consume day to day.
15:43It's kind of like just throughout the day here and there.
15:46Try some mascara maybe.
15:48Usually with the lipstick, I don't bite into it.
15:50I like lick it.
15:51Sometimes I put like some foundation in my mouth.
15:54Like maybe like 10 pumps of foundation a day.
15:57Apply multiple layers.
16:00But it doesn't say consume multiple layers.
16:02So probably not meant for that.
16:04But there's really nothing that I haven't tried yet at this point, I feel like.
16:11I tend to like certain makeups at different times.
16:16So like my foundation tastes like coffee.
16:18So that's some warning.
16:20I could go through one of these in like five to seven days.
16:23As far as the eye shadow.
16:24You can probably tell what my favorite flavors are.
16:27Where'd it go?
16:28Where's my bait?
16:29Where's?
16:36I'm looking for my favorite.
16:37I can't find it.
16:38And it is actually my favorite.
16:39So I'm kind of panicking now.
16:41Oh God.
16:42Where the French did it go?
16:45Oh.
16:47Oh my God.
16:48I know where it went.
16:49Travel bag.
16:50Because this is my favorite.
16:51It tastes like cupcakes.
16:52It's very dessert-y.
16:53So like this I'll have like.
16:55Oh man.
16:56Well.
16:57I say at night time.
16:58But I think I kind of at this point have it all the time.
17:01Only butter gloss is what you're going to want to try.
17:05I don't know.
17:06Can you see it on my tongue?
17:07Yeah.
17:15So I've been addicted to eating makeup for about three years now.
17:21I was doing a theater production.
17:23I got too much makeup on my face accidentally rushing.
17:26And I kind of just licked it off the side of my face.
17:29It was kind of an innocent thing.
17:32Didn't really think much of it at the time.
17:34And then it turned into me kind of trying it at home like when I'm watching a movie and
17:39bored and felt like I was kind of almost craving it in a way.
17:42And then it just kind of led to where I'm at now where it's to the point where I'm consuming makeup every single day.
17:52I'm pulling over.
17:55For a minute.
17:56I need to get my makeup sponge here.
17:58Oh God.
18:00I would say when I'm engaging and eating the makeup I feel comfort.
18:04I feel relaxed.
18:05I feel content.
18:06Okay.
18:07Okay.
18:08Okay.
18:09I got my sponge.
18:10I feel better.
18:11But I feel like I struggle with this addiction because actually I don't think anyone at this point knows.
18:25There's people in my life, especially family, that are still very conservative.
18:30They would be judging me based on wearing the makeup, let alone eating it.
18:34But I feel like at this point I have to live my life for me.
18:38I'm just ready to be like, you know what?
18:40This is what I do.
18:41You don't like it?
18:42Kiss my flat ass.
18:43I don't know.
18:44I really don't give a damn.
18:45Yes, I'm eating the makeup.
18:48Get over it, bitch.
18:50So, me and my husband are going out to dinner tonight.
19:06This is going to be like a much needed date night.
19:09We don't get many of those.
19:10But also, this is good preparation to get him ready to refill for my skincare.
19:18Another method I like to do with the semen is to pour it in my little handy dandy steamer.
19:25I like to kind of do it equal parts of semen and water.
19:28That way it doesn't get too clogged up because it tends to be a little thick.
19:33So, I just like to go in before I apply either my skincare or my makeup.
19:40It keeps me nice and hydrated.
19:47It's like that.
19:50Oh, my goodness.
19:52You look good, babe.
19:54You look nice.
19:55We match him.
19:56Thank you, babe.
19:57I got my shoes.
19:58One of the reasons that we've been able to keep our spark alive is just being very open,
20:06trying new things, and being very adventurous in the bedroom.
20:11That's definitely one way we keep our flame going.
20:14Hi, guys.
20:23Welcome to Parkside.
20:24I made it for you today?
20:25Just two of us.
20:26Just for?
20:27Great.
20:31Thank you, sir.
20:32You're welcome.
20:33Can I get you guys started with some water?
20:35Yeah.
20:36Yes, please.
20:37I definitely think that diet contributes to the quality of semen,
20:41whether that be the texture, the taste, the smell, things like that.
20:45Strawberry, basil.
20:46They got all the signature cocktails.
20:48Pineapple mojito.
20:50No.
20:52Following a diet definitely makes going out to dinner very hard.
20:56We have to be conscious, or I have to be conscious specifically,
20:59of what I'm eating, what I'm putting in my body at all times.
21:02Pineapples used to be my favorite fruit,
21:04but I definitely had to cut those out because I was scolded.
21:08Did you guys have any questions?
21:09I think a lot of times when he eats things that are more on the acidic side,
21:13it definitely affects my skin in certain ways.
21:17What do you have?
21:18What greens do you have?
21:19We have green beans, collard greens.
21:20How are your collard greens?
21:22They're good.
21:23They're good on the vinegary side, if you like that.
21:25Do the green beans.
21:26Green beans.
21:27Yeah.
21:28Okay.
21:29I'll be right back.
21:31Usually when I see him eating things like that, I'm like, you know,
21:34we need to wash that down with a whole bunch of water
21:36because it's definitely going to affect my skin later.
21:39Make sure you drink your water now.
21:40Oh, man.
21:41Okay, okay, okay.
21:42Drink good.
21:43Drink good.
21:44Now I drink.
21:45This is my third cup.
21:46Hello, guys.
21:48Got a pork chop?
21:49Thank you, man.
21:50You're welcome.
21:51Yummy.
21:53Amazing.
21:54This looks yummy, guys.
21:56It's like a refuel platter right there.
21:58You got your protein, your greens, your water.
22:01I got it all.
22:02It'll be a nice heavy load.
22:04It's a lot to keep up with her skincare demands,
22:07but I've seen the effects by not producing what she needs.
22:11I definitely see some frustration on her end.
22:14Definitely some attitude.
22:15But just knowing that, you know, happy wife, happy life.
22:21I'd imagine that Bryce is a little tired,
22:23but my husband has never declined giving me semen.
22:27And the better quality semen he can get,
22:30the more I'm going to use it.
22:32Load it up.
22:36How much are you spending on these a week?
22:38Less than we spend money on food.
22:40Oh, my God.
22:41We don't have any extra funds right now
22:43for eating bugs the way he is.
22:45You know we don't have the money for this.
22:48These are semen cubes.
22:51Are you for real?
22:52I'm for real.
22:53I put it on my cheeks, go up here to my forehead.
22:55I'm a little nervous because I've definitely
22:57lost friends to this in the past.
22:59Feeling judged by a friend is never a good feeling.
23:11My partner Ashley found out that I was eating bugs
23:13pretty early on into our relationship.
23:15Don't ever eat bugs like daddy.
23:17That's disgusting.
23:19You know we don't have the money for this.
23:21How much are you spending on these a week?
23:24I mean, not a lot.
23:29What's not a lot?
23:32You know, less than we spend money on food.
23:34Oh, my God.
23:36Money's really tight right now as Carlos has recently lost his job.
23:40We don't have any extra funds right now for eating bugs the way he is at the rate that he's eating them as well.
23:48You just lost your job and you're spending more on these things.
23:52I don't really get it, you know.
23:53It's not really that much money that these crickets cost.
23:57And it's unhealthy.
23:58We don't know who or where they're coming from.
24:02They could have so many different types of diseases we don't know.
24:05This is an organic food source.
24:07I mean, come on.
24:09Let's not be ethnocentric here.
24:11I mean, do you realize that 70% of the globe eats insects?
24:15Not live.
24:16It's definitely a health concern.
24:20And I'm concerned for his well-being.
24:36That's disgusting.
24:37Hmm.
24:38That is absolutely grotesque.
24:40I just want Jillian to have a father who's alive and healthy and focused on us.
24:48But he prioritizes his own comfort over the comfort and security of our family.
24:54And that's really difficult.
24:59You just, that's so gross.
25:01Go to a doctor.
25:03It's a problem.
25:05You're going to make her a social pariah.
25:07Why should she be a social pariah?
25:08Just because her dad likes bugs.
25:12I mean, I might be willing to see a doctor,
25:14but I don't think they're going to convince me to stop eating bugs.
25:38I'm going to have two of my girlfriends come over today.
25:40We're going to have a day of just self-care.
25:42And because I'm educated in cosmetology, they know I always keep hair products, skin care products, all the things on me.
25:51I'm going to show them my semen facial cues.
25:53I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous because I've definitely lost friends to this in the past.
25:57Even though this is something that I enjoy doing, feeling judged by it by a friend is never, it's never a good feeling.
26:04But I just want to live out loud so hopefully they don't run away too.
26:08Hey!
26:09Hey!
26:10Hey!
26:11How are you talking?
26:12Coffee!
26:13Good to see you.
26:14Thanks for coming.
26:15Of course.
26:16Thanks for coming.
26:17It's hot.
26:18It is.
26:19It's way too hot.
26:20So good to see you, friend.
26:21Look at this.
26:22Cute.
26:23Y'all put this together for y'all.
26:24It looks so good.
26:25So cute.
26:26You know, I love charcuterie boy.
26:27Well, I was about to say this is more your speed, but I tried my best.
26:30So what are we doing today?
26:31I do have some beauty products over here that I wanted us to try today.
26:36Brindy is a wild card.
26:37Like, you can't put anything past her.
26:38She's very, like, outgoing.
26:39I love that about her.
26:40Oh.
26:41What do y'all use?
26:42What do you use?
26:43Take your makeup off?
26:44I just use makeup wipes.
26:45Oh.
26:46I like to use the balms, actually.
26:47Oh, yeah.
26:48I have a balm right here, too.
26:49I have a balm right here, too.
26:50We're a balm right here, too.
26:51We're a balm right here, too.
26:52We're a balm right here, too.
26:53We're a balm right here, too.
26:54Oh, it looks so good.
26:55Oh, it looks so good.
26:56So cute.
26:57You know, I love charcuterie boy.
26:58Well, I was about to say this is more your speed, but I tried my best.
27:01Oh.
27:02I like to use the balms, actually.
27:03Oh, yeah.
27:04I have a balm right here, too.
27:05We're really close friends.
27:07Like, nothing is off the table with this.
27:09Put it on your hand.
27:10Yeah.
27:11Oh, yeah.
27:12Yeah.
27:13Another product that I want to share with you guys.
27:15Oh, let me go grab it.
27:16Let's see.
27:17She got the gifts.
27:18I know.
27:24All right.
27:25So these are what I like to call noobs.
27:29Aren't they cute?
27:30Look at the little heart shapes.
27:32So these are semen cubes.
27:41And I call them noobs because it's like a combination of, like, nut and ice cube.
27:46Are you for real?
27:47I'm so sorry.
27:48I'm for real.
27:49No, it's not a joke.
27:50This is Bryce.
27:51This is Bryce.
27:52What?
27:53Bryce!
27:54Bryce is on the kitchen table?
27:58I thought we were being pranked.
28:00I did not think she actually froze Bryce's semen and put them in ice cubes.
28:05I thought it was a joke.
28:06And I'm telling you, this has been, like, my golden product.
28:11I put it on my cheeks, go up here to my forehead, and then I'll go over here.
28:17That's a lot.
28:18Now, put them back in the freezer.
28:20I'm just, like, floored.
28:23Flabbergasted.
28:26Shocked.
28:27How many times are you making him do this?
28:33I like to make sure he does it at least twice a day.
28:36I basically treat it like it's a mask when I have, like, what I like to call a fresh batch.
28:41And that's the secret to why you're standing up on?
28:43This is my secret, yeah.
28:44Is it safe?
28:45Like, have you asked your dermatologist about this?
28:47I have not.
28:48Maybe you should, like, talk to an esthetician or a dermatologist.
28:52Just to be sure, you know?
28:53I would think that it's safe because I know, you know, Bryce is clean.
28:57He doesn't have anything that I can contract.
28:59So, I mean, even if they tell me that I shouldn't do it, I'm still going to do it.
29:02Like, why would I stop?
29:06You know we love you, right?
29:07We're not judging you, but I really think you should go see the esthetician.
29:10You think so?
29:11Yes.
29:12You just never know.
29:13So, my girls are always concerned about me.
29:16You know, just like how friends are.
29:18They want to make sure that you're doing something that's not going to harm yourself.
29:21Okay, since I can tell you guys are serious, I'll go see somebody.
29:25But only because y'all seem very concerned.
29:30As you should.
29:31Yes.
29:32So, I'm going to take their advice.
29:33I'm going to go to a med spa and just kind of get that second opinion.
29:36See what they think about it.
29:37But I know that it's not causing me any harm, so I don't see a reason to stop.
29:46He was chewing it up and swallowing it.
29:48I have never seen that before.
29:49Did you just eat that?
29:51It's like flavorful.
29:52I knew he loved doing makeup.
29:54I didn't know he loved eating it though.
29:56This is what I do.
29:57You don't like it, I really don't give a damn.
29:59I love going to the makeup store.
30:15It's like going to the grocery store for me in a way.
30:18So, I got to get what I want.
30:20At first, when I saw him, I was like, is he actually eating that?
30:27Or is he just trying it on?
30:29But he was not just putting it on his lips.
30:32He was nibbling it off and he was chewing it up and swallowing it.
30:35I have never seen that before.
30:37I would think that people see...
30:39Excuse me, I'm sorry about that.
30:41Eating makeup as not the social norm.
30:44I did, yeah, those actually taste really good.
30:47And I kind of get a little embarrassed, but I got to have the best of the best.
30:58Can you reach that?
31:00I've always kind of put my relationships on a back burner kind of thing because of this addiction.
31:06Okay, let's see.
31:08But I kind of am at the point where I'm like, let's just tell the world.
31:15Hello. Hey.
31:17How are you?
31:18Good to see you.
31:19Today, I'm doing makeup for my friend that has a drag show coming up tonight.
31:24And she has no idea that I eat makeup.
31:26I just want my eyes and my lips done.
31:28Okay. That sounds good.
31:31She is a drag queen and now drag queens are very shady, honey.
31:34She may be like, what in the hot mess that you got going on?
31:38Do you know what numbers you're going to do next?
31:40I'm not sure yet.
31:41It can definitely be tempting when I'm working on somebody's face.
31:46Your eye closed.
31:50And the makeup's like on my fingers.
31:52I'm like, ugh.
31:53I want to have some of this damn makeup.
31:58Just give me one second here.
32:00Did you just eat that?
32:05Yeah, I was just kind of trying it.
32:11It's so good.
32:13It's like a bean.
32:14It's like flavorful.
32:15They're colors, not flavors.
32:19When I saw Anthony eating makeup, I just was like, why?
32:25I like the tastes.
32:27Like, I like the different kinds.
32:29I knew he loved doing makeup.
32:31I didn't know he loved eating it, though.
32:34I mean, I like all of it.
32:36But, yeah.
32:37I probably should have warned you.
32:40Are you mad?
32:47No.
32:48I'm not mad.
32:49But you don't, like, think bad of me?
32:50I don't think bad of you, but I think it's bad for you.
32:54It's not good to ingest.
32:56Yeah.
32:57Have you read any of the warning labels?
32:59I haven't.
33:00A warning label has never stopped me on a makeup that I want to eat.
33:04I've never really felt sick off eating it, except for one time when I had, like, half a bottle.
33:10But...
33:11There's literally warning signs on this stuff.
33:13You're putting toxic and poisonous chemicals in your system.
33:17I would have gotten sick by now if it was, like, really harming my body.
33:22It's still not food.
33:24Yeah, you're right.
33:26All right.
33:27Remember that.
33:28It's not food.
33:29I got you.
33:30Well, I love you, and thank you for coming.
33:32You're welcome.
33:33It felt good to finally admit to what I've been doing.
33:36And she was concerned, but not, like, mean about it.
33:39Good to see you.
33:40It was good to see you.
33:41Thank you so much.
33:42Have fun at the show, okay?
33:43Good luck. Thank you.
33:45She did say I'm basically poisoning myself, but...
33:48I don't know.
33:49I just am kind of at the point where I'm like, I don't care what people think.
33:53Honey, nothing's gonna get me to stop eating the makeup.
33:56I'm still a person.
33:57I'm still talented.
33:59And if you are a casting director, book me now.
34:02So I had a few people that were concerned about the semen facials and how often I was doing it.
34:25So today we are at a med spa.
34:27Hi.
34:28Hi.
34:29We're here to get a professional opinion.
34:31You can put yourself there and take a seat here.
34:34And I'm a little anxious to go inside.
34:36So what are you coming in for today?
34:38So I'm here to basically get a second opinion about a product that I've been using on my skin.
34:44Yeah.
34:48I've been using my husband's semen as a part of my facial routine.
34:52And how long have you been doing this?
34:54For about two years now.
34:55About two years.
34:56I wouldn't mind getting a little assessment.
34:58Yeah, absolutely.
34:59Let me get you in here.
35:00Yeah.
35:01I have been in the field and practicing medicine for 14 years.
35:05But I've actually only seen one other patient that uses human sperm on their face to try to get the desired goals that they're looking for.
35:12I'm going to give you this mirror.
35:13Okay.
35:14And we're going to look at your skin and tell me the areas that are concerning you.
35:18And that's the reason why you use your husband's sperm.
35:20Okay.
35:21It's always my forehead.
35:22Okay.
35:23And each cheek.
35:24Have you ever had a reaction?
35:25No.
35:26I've never had a reaction.
35:27But I also, my husband's pretty clean.
35:29But it's just one of those things where it's like, it's been working for me.
35:33So why would I try something else?
35:34And if there is something that's better, then I could just add it.
35:37I could just add it to my regimen, but not kick out what I'm already doing.
35:41Okay.
35:42There's no evidence-based research that proves it's doing anything.
35:48It can actually put you in harm.
35:50Okay.
35:51So it can give you atopical dermatitis.
35:53You can get different types of infections from it.
35:56And then also, you're putting yourself at risk for STDs in the eyes, oral area.
36:01And if you do get an STD in the eyes, it can cause blindness.
36:04Ooh.
36:05Yeah.
36:06It has happened.
36:07Okay.
36:08The human sperm is not cleansed or purified.
36:11So we don't know, not only if it's not giving her benefits, but it could be causing some harm.
36:17It's not benefiting you.
36:19That's the way that I would look at it.
36:21Okay.
36:22I can't say right now that I would totally toss out my husband's semen right now because I feel like if it's not doing any harm up until this point, I think for now I'll keep using it.
36:38And like I said, it's obviously not giving you any reaction yet.
36:41Right.
36:42But I would highly recommend not doing that with your husband's sperm.
36:45With no husband's sperm.
36:46Okay.
36:47Yes.
36:48You're increasing your risk of infection by a great deal.
36:49Okay.
36:50Okay.
36:51So I feel good about my visit today.
36:54I took my friend's advice by coming here and getting a professional to really do a deep dive into my skin.
37:00But as I've said before, the, all of the risks that she was naming, I didn't feel as though I would be privy to those things because I know my man, I know my husband and I haven't had anything up until this point.
37:13So even with her telling me to stop, I'm still going to continue to use the semen.
37:19You're welcome.
37:32When you eat these bugs live, you are contaminating your body with parasitic and bacterial infections.
37:39He is on the verge of having every single organ affected.
37:43The dark reality is like, I don't care if it's bad for me.
37:58I'm feeling a little bit nervous about going to this medical appointment because I'm afraid what they're going to say about my bug eating habits.
38:06All right, Carlos, you can follow me.
38:09I'm going to this appointment because I, I do want to respond to Ashley's concerns, even though I'm convinced that there's nothing wrong with it.
38:17Well, welcome.
38:19So what brings you in today?
38:20So I'm here because my partner is concerned about my addiction to eating live bugs.
38:26So, like, just grab a cricket and, uh...
38:39Okay.
38:40So what drew you to eating live bugs?
38:42Do you eat them on a daily basis?
38:44Yes.
38:45Okay.
38:46I understand that it's weird, right, by most conventional standards.
38:49However, I know for a fact that 70% of the world eats insects, right?
38:53Yes and no.
38:55In some cultures, eating bugs is accepted.
38:58But the big difference is live bugs are gutted and they're cooked.
39:03Have you ever researched, um, purchasing bugs that are safe for human consumption?
39:08I really get my kicks out of eating them alive.
39:10The problem is when you eat these bugs live, you are contaminating your body with active, live, parasitic and bacterial infections.
39:21You're kind of putting your body in a constant inflammatory state.
39:27Now, um, have you ever seen a provider before and had any tests to kind of decipher if you came across any medical issues that came from eating the live bugs?
39:42I think I've been avoiding that topic.
39:45Any respiratory symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing?
39:49Moderately?
39:51Um, do you mind if I actually take a listen to your heart and lungs?
39:55Yeah.
39:56Sure, sure, sure.
39:57So, if Carlos doesn't stop eating live bugs, he's causing tremendous risk for his health.
40:06What Carlos is doing on a daily basis is exposing himself to harmful pathogens.
40:11And over time, these toxins can seep into the bloodstream, which can cause a multi-organ failure.
40:20Do you ever get any heart palpitations?
40:22Yeah, and I think I kind of like, I don't know, like, I've assumed that it has to do with anxiety, I think, yeah.
40:28I'm gonna take a listen to your lungs, too. You want to lean forward for me?
40:31Sure.
40:32All right, take some nice deep breaths.
40:34Ultimately, um, he is on the verge of having every single organ affected if he doesn't stop.
40:50So, from listening, heart sounds, lung sounds, both sound good. Your lungs are nice, loud, and clear.
40:57Okay.
40:58But with the heart palpitations, sometimes that can mean your heart is stressing.
41:02And, you know, I am concerned because parasite infections can cause a tremendous amount of damage to the body.
41:08I mean, there's studies that show that parasitic infections can even travel to the brain
41:13and basically eat at your brain tissue and contribute to chronic diseases that resemble early dementia.
41:23Um, there's a lot we can do here to kind of get you going.
41:26So, my first suggestion would be if we're gonna eat bugs, not have them be live.
41:34Of all the bugs that you do eat, the most toxic one is the cockroaches.
41:38So, if it's gonna be more of kind of weaning you down, I don't recommend eating cockroaches.
41:43They're highly risky. They're highly toxic.
41:46Obviously, I would want to run some blood work on you.
41:49Okay.
41:50And kind of reevaluate the big picture.
41:52Oh, my God.
41:54Um, I think the dark reality is, like, I don't care if it's bad for me.
41:59Okay.
42:00But I know it doesn't end there because I'm a father.
42:03Yeah.
42:04And I have, you know, people that depend on me.
42:06I had no idea the full extent of damage that it could potentially cause.
42:13I do want to change, but I also really like eating bugs.
42:18It was basically, I heard what I feared most, which is the truth.
42:24It was a pleasure meeting you and I look forward to seeing you again.
42:28Okay. Thank you.
