Transcript

Reporting live in the morning at 9 AM I'm about to go teach a spin class and yes the mustard hack does work because I feel great. To answer some questions, one, I'm not in my 20s, I'm actually 33. Two, we did actually drink quite a bit yesterday. I've seen some comments where they're like, oh, it's probably because you didn't drink a lot and that's probably why you feel great in the morning. Oh, we had nine shots yesterday. We did a shot crawl, we went all around Dallas to do the most iconic shots and then also had drinks in between. We went at it yesterday and I should very much well be in my bed right now, but I'm about to go teach a spin class. So yeah, the mustard really does work. It's one of my favorite hacks. Background on this, I'm an epidemiologist. I'd looked into it a little bit, but what really sold me was actually one of our mutual friends is a physician and he was saying that the way that it works is because it has a bunch of sodium and potassium and as you drink, you're just depleting your electrolytes. So it's kind of like you chugging a liquid IV, but instead I'm doing mustard packets. Doing mustard. It does work. All my friends texted, we checked our group chat this morning, we all feel fab. So if you're in need of a hangover hack, mustard might be the way for you to go. I love doing it. All my friends texted, we checked our group chat this morning, we all feel fab. So if you're in need of a hangover hack, mustard might be the way for you to go.
