Transcript
SuChin Pak
Okay, so, guys, I am so excited to introduce everyone to our friend. She used to be my neighbor but we’ll get into that in a moment. Actress singer Majandra Delfino, she rose to fame as Maria DeLuca on the cult hit Roswell. She then went on to start and films oh, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it—TRAFFIC. TV shows like THE OFFICE playing Dwight sister. After years of seeing her favorite shows get canceled. She created what we like to call a spiritual successor to her sci fi roots with a huge mega crowdfunding. Meta dramedy, she wrote called B +T with a partner and costar an ex-boyfriend in real life Brendan Fehr. All the way from Venezuela via Hollywood. And now a cabin in the woods by the beach. Majandra Delfino. Welcome, Yay.
Majandra Delfino
Love that. What an intro.
SuChin Pak
Welcome and wait. Majandra you and Kulap know each other. You guys met. Where did, Kulap tell us where you guys met?
Majandra Delfino
Set the scene for us.
Majandra Delfino
That were like been incredible. It’s basically like, you know, working through issues and dark times. And of course, everybody wanted to talk about Trump. And she was like, no, no, no. Too heavy.
Kulap Vilaysack
Absolutely. You know what everybody does, right? You go to your friend’s house, in this case, Mary Elizabeth Ellis days house with a bunch of your girl pals and girlfriends. And you have a circle where a White Lady shaman, sorry. And you have guided meditations and you and you meet people. It’s what we call a classic Hollywood mixer. It’s a meet cute. It really is. And I feel like this happened, like right after Trump was elected in 2016. And so we, I think all wanted to talk about that. And I was like, no, no, no, let’s not talk about that.
SuChin Pak
I’m not getting paid enough for that lady.
Majandra Delfino
She also was like; I don’t know what to say. No one saw it coming.
SuChin Pak
I’m just a surprise. I’m just a shaman. I’m not a mind reader.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah. And I just remember also this one girl who probably like 45 minutes later they were talking about manifestation as you do. And she was talking about how good she is at manifesting. And then she was like, but I just can’t believe that I didn’t manifest Hillary winning. And then the shaman was like, oh God, like so and then it got brought back. Oh, yeah. To be clear, we kept bringing it out. No one could let it go.
Kulap Vilaysack
Could not. Would not.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah, and definitely should not.
SuChin Pak
That’s what was there. You know what I mean? That’s what was there. Yeah. Majandra, you and I, we were neighbors.
Majandra Delfino
Oh, boy. Yeah.
SuChin Pak
Our children went to the same schools. We’ve bonded over lots of things. Let’s see, cheese, plates more specifically, also, should we or should we not put tracking devices on our children.
Majandra Delfino
Big time.
SuChin Pak
Anyway, you and I have always been, you know, communicating through social media and texting. And I said, you know, we said, okay, you have to come on. Now, what is the category that you want to talk about? And without hesitation, it was like bing. Your category was?
Majandra Delfino
Hanging on to youth for dear life.
SuChin Pak
And I said, yes. So let’s get into it. Can you tell us about some of the things you’re going to talk about this category.
Majandra Delfino
I had so much to say, you guys that Claire had to boop, boop, like just bring it down a little bit. I was like, I have 15 things I want to share just clearly going through a crisis. So okay, I’ve narrowed it down first of all. My biggest thing, besides just the obvious about aging, is how just unintelligent I’m becoming. Like, what’s happening to my brain.
SuChin Pak
We’ve talked about this neurotropic.
Majandra Delfino
I have been on a quest for the neurotropics and nootropic you have, and of course, as a lady, you know, you go to a doctor, and you’re like, I want that pill that the limitless pill the yes. You know, you can’t get anything. When you’re a woman, my husband goes in, he’s tried all kinds of stuff, you know.
Kulap Vilaysack
I just want to double check with you guys. The limitless pill is not Molly.
Majandra Delfino
No, but for a while, I thought it was, Kulap. […]
SuChin Pak
We’re not discouraging from that.
Majandra Delfino
You have to call it MDMA. And then it’s okay. No, but we’re supposed to always be renewing and creating healthy new cells, right? And that’s what happens, or what doesn’t happen to the old face. When it starts to suffer, that also affects you know, the cells in here and all that. So I’ve always been obsessed with that aspect of like, okay, let’s get down to the actual, like, foundation of the problem. And have found this. I mean, I guess it’s a vitamin. Also, guys, not a doctor. None of us are, no one here. But it’s called Spermidine.
Kulap Vilaysack
Pardon.
Majandra Delfino
That’s the problem. And also, I feel like it taps into did you guys ever have those boyfriends that would try to convince you that like, the sperm is like, it’s healthy for you. It’s like good for you.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yep. Yep, I have. I do. I do.
SuChin Pak
What is it?
Majandra Delfino
Okay, so I wrote this down, because this is what I do. I don’t know if you guys do this. I get all my information. I read stuff. I’m like, ooh, yes, no, I decide and then I buy the thing. And then I completely forget what you know how to explain the science. But this helps you create and renew cells in a healthy and more productive and bountiful way.
SuChin Pak
Wait, okay, so do you take this once a day? And then what do you feel like?
Majandra Delfino
Oh, you don’t feel any? You don’t feel anything right away. But I’ll tell you this. Go ahead. I always try this stuff, by the way, guys. And then I’m like, whatever. I didn’t like it. But this is the only one where I’m like, Oh, I have just felt like my words are closer. You know, when you try to think of a word and that thing is just so goddamn far away.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yes, I do.
SuChin Pak
Oh, yeah.
Majandra Delfino
I just feel a little bit like a like, I’m more in control of thought process things like going into another room and actually remembering why I went in there to get what I was getting. You know what I mean?
Kulap Vilaysack
I do.
SuChin Pak
Oh, gosh, yes. I mean, I’ve gotten I mean Majandra I know that this this obsession of yours with this is so real, because we’ve talked for years and years and years. And I can’t believe you found a product. So you’re saying over time you have felt like this is really, no side effects?
Majandra Delfino
So no side effects at all because I can’t deal guys like I can’t do anything fun or productive. Everything I get sick. I don’t feel I get a headache like everything. I’m the most sensitive person.
Kulap Vilaysack
Oh, so you’re a great sample. You’re a great. Okay.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah, I guess but I actually think I’m a terrible one because the barometer is so sensitive that you know, for some people it could slide but like..
SuChin Pak
I’m adding to cart right now.
Majandra Delfino
I’m telling you give it a chance. It’s basically building things on the molecular level, which is the key. It’s like the foundation of where all this stuff starts to just crumble and crumbling it has. And that’s what’s such a bummer to me mostly about aging is the mental stuff. You know? Just slowly, because just start becoming a dummy.
SuChin Pak
It’s like both of fear because I do feel it. And I was obsessed about it for a while. And then I’ve come to the other side. Where I’m like, it’s not so bad to overthink every little decision in your life. It’s actually okay to forget pretty much most of your life and just eat your ice cream cone.
Kulap Vilaysack
That’s what being wise is, it’s like, you know, you just take more time because it’s like, well, what am I talking about?
SuChin Pak
Yeah, you do less things, you have less opinions. You know, all of that. And so some of it has been really an ego, let me not get into all the spiritualness but like, it has genuinely been like, you know what, I have to let go, this feeling that I have to know everything, that I have to be on at all times. And know, you know, and be productive and..
Majandra Delfino
But that’s the thing I was never any of those things, you know, so it’s just like, just being able to hold a conversation and not be like uhm.. uhm.. That aspect. I can’t handle it.
SuChin Pak
Totally. Oh my God, we love this. In some ways, now that I look at the word Spermadine, I’m actually comforted that they didn’t go.. […]
Majandra Delfino
Yeah, like they don’t have enough ingredients for this to go mainstream. So they’re like, let’s make it unappealing.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yeah. Like you’re dining on sperm. No, let’s mix it up a little bit.
SuChin Pak
Yeah, it’s Spermadine. By the way, and maybe it is a good, maybe it’s a genius Google search that they’ve somehow hacked into. They’re like, listen, you know what we’re get searched a lot on Google rise right to the top there in your search function.
Majandra Delfino
It’s full algorithm but they didn’t..
SuChin Pak
I couldn’t think of the word algorithm. So it took me two sentences to get that, anyway.
Majandra Delfino
This guy.
SuChin Pak
And that’s where we break. We’ll be back.
Majandra Delfino
So my next The other thing is, I want you to really just hang on to the panties. Claire, well, I don’t know what to tell you. Claire is not wearing panties.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yep. But SuChin and I have a lot of material that we can grab.
SuChin Pak
You want me to hold the bottom half near my knees or the top half under my boobs? Which one? Both!
Majandra Delfino
I love it. So far, I’m kicking it off with two supplements, but this is the thing. Here’s the other problem. I don’t know if you guys have ever done a wormhole or gone down a wormhole on Christie Brinkley. It just she’s looks so good, okay?
Kulap Vilaysack
She does. She does.
Majandra Delfino
But it’s like..
Kulap Vilaysack
How?
Majandra Delfino
Yeah, it’s just like, stop.
Kulap Vilaysack
She looks good in an unplastic way.
Majandra Delfino
Yes. Where she’s just like, Hi. You know, every day is just, you know.
Kulap Vilaysack
She’s got a youthful energy.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah. And I never I’m gonna have that, there’s no pill. Yeah. One of the things though I did realize about this broad that she admits is that she clips on a ton of hair.
Kulap Vilaysack
What? Oh, okay. Okay. And you know what? A lot of people do that. And many women don’t realize.
Majandra Delfino
Like we need to understand that people are putting tons of hair clip.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yeah, their tap, tap tapping. We don’t get to see it. But like that’s not, that’s not their full main. So we shouldn’t feel bad,
Majandra Delfino
So we shouldn’t feel bad. Exactly. So I’m not gonna clip hair on you know what I mean? I can’t put that kind of effort into stuff.
Kulap Vilaysack
Yeah, well, cuz it’s not just clipping, you’re gonna have to at some point your gonna have to wash it, you’re gonna have to comb it.
SuChin Pak
The maintenance.
Kulap Vilaysack
That’s a hard enough with my own.
Majandra Delfino
Yes.
Kulap Vilaysack
It’s too much.
Majandra Delfino
Exactly. I’ve been down the road of like the bieten the hair gummies there’s even this thing called Viviscal. You know, all this stuff. And I don’t understand how I found out about this. But some hippie just like, offered this information up, that she had this insane long hair to hear. I mean, I can’t even show all the way. And she said she could never get her hair past this length.
SuChin Pak
So you’re pointing to your shoulder, and then she had it down.
Majandra Delfino
And she had it down. Thank you so much, SuChin, this is not a visual medium.
Kulap Vilaysack
And this is an old reference, but it sounds to me like a Crystal Gayle type.
SuChin Pak
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kulap Vilaysack
Length, fullness.
SuChin Pak
Yes, mounted on a bare back on a thoroughbred.
Majandra Delfino
Yes, and that thoroughbred has long hair, you know, so everyone has this beautiful long hair. And she was like, I had super thin. You know, I couldn’t get past shoulder length. And it was already thin and always breakage, blah, blah, blah. And she’s like, until I started taking Nettle Leaf.
Kulap Vilaysack
Nettle leaf.
Majandra Delfino
Which is an herb. Okay, listen, tell me a supplement. I’ll get it. I’ll try it. You know what I mean? Like, obviously. So here’s what was really interesting. My hair got like, so, guys, this is gonna be a tricky one to explain. Because I feel like you’re gonna have to get like, sort of like a penis reference in this. I don’t know how.
Kulap Vilaysack
If that’s what’s needed, please.
Majandra Delfino
My hair used to be in diameter. Like, if you if you squeezed the ponytail of it. Okay, I didn’t know how we were doing this now. I understand. Okay, sure. Nothing more girth here. You know? So the girth of my ponytail was like, I don’t know. Like an inch and a half.
Kulap Vilaysack
A Hebrew national hot dog. Is that a fair? Maybe more or less?
Majandra Delfino
Perfect. Exactly. Now, it’s like a very expensive kielbasa, like, thick. Just three inch thick.
Kulap Vilaysack
Wow, we’re we are neat. nearing coke can.
Majandra Delfino
I feel like give me a year, Kulap, and I am Guinness. This is what tipped me to the point of like, I can go and put this out there into the world. And God bless. I don’t know how this is gonna go over but my husband, you know, he’s getting up there. And he started to feel like he was seeing some thinning in the old pair, which is oh, you know.
SuChin Pak
For a man. Yeah, that’s punching right in a soft spot.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah. So he was fully down to the point of like, I will do not Rogaine. What did they do now Propecia, he’s like, I will do the Propecia, it’d be the things you hear about are crazy. Speaking of like, penis, there’s some penis stuff that happens..
Kulap Vilaysack
To the actual penis?
Majandra Delfino
I mean, you guys, I don’t know if just it’s too far, to what comes out of the penis.
SuChin Pak
What does or doesn’t come out or does come out?
Majandra Delfino
Such a perfect like you had an instinct SuChin, it’s that, like less stuff comes out I was like, what a wonderful thing. You know?
SuChin Pak
We’ve dated that guy.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah. Like, I’m already dating Spermadine. (laughs)
SuChin Pak
Yeah, but that’s that must be disturbing for a gentleman.
Majandra Delfino
Because it’s just like that. And then just, you know, like, yeah, the spiral. Yeah. Right. So I didn’t like that for him. I didn’t like that for anyone. But he was ready. You know, I think guys just have to get to a point and you know, he’s in the visual medium shamaning, you know, on the site. But I was like, try this Nettle Leaf. Just try it. Change the game. Never looking back.
Kulap Vilaysack
I mean, this is for all of our listeners.
SuChin Pak
We I mean, this is we need stock. Wait, hold on. We gotta […] We got to put codes on this […] this shit is flying off the shelves.
Kulap Vilaysack
Please, one more thing.
SuChin Pak
Yeah, please. One more. I know.
Majandra Delfino
I feel like this is gonna be a real letdown because it’s very controversial. It’s a controversial product for sure. And I just want you to bear with me. I think that we just have to get to a point where we have to sort of like knock ourselves out. You know it’s In this day and age..
SuChin Pak
Who’s got time to fall asleep? Yes. Majandra.
Majandra Delfino
This is controversial. Okay. For because here’s the thing, guys, I’m just gonna come out with it. It is a Kardashian product.
Kulap Vilaysack
Well, SuChin, are you okay? SuChin? SuChin, come back. Come back, SuChin.
SuChin Pak
Look, it’s a vital protein. The Collagen. And this one has melatonin, okay? So you’re getting your collagen. You’re getting melatonin. It’s the only one that only time vital proteins has. I don’t know why they were like, yes. When it came to Kourtney Kardashian, otherwise they don’t care. But then you got to put this as like a two folder. Have you, SuChin ever tried this melatonin?
SuChin Pak
What’s that? No, what is it’s a drop. I do the sublingual.
Majandra Delfino
This is sublingual. And it’s premier research labs. And I’m telling you guys, you put a full drop. I don’t even do a full dropper. It’s like this thing..
Kulap Vilaysack
You’re knocked out.
SuChin Pak
Because you might not get up.
SuChin Pak
And your face is gonna be so full. Just a corpse in your bed, sleeping the days away. So you do both?
Majandra Delfino
You’re a person who you know likes to just play it safe. I would just do this and then you’re getting your collagen, which we all know helps, you know, helps with staying youthful and supple. But if you’re like me, and you literally want like a punch in the face to pass out, double up, double up, baby.
Kulap Vilaysack
Put it in the smoothie, put it into that your night smoothie.
Majandra Delfino
Put it in your night smoothie, or just put it right under your tongue. Because I feel like that’s the thing that people don’t realize half, 90% of these people that just are so sharp or look so great. Or you know can still run bubble but like they rest man. That’s it. It’s such a bummer. I hate it. I wish that I didn’t have to sleep. I wish I could do three hours.
Kulap Vilaysack
And then, I’m sorry. So how does the Kardashians come to play their spokesperson?
Majandra Delfino
It’s not only the Kardashians, Kulap. It’s poosh.
Kulap Vilaysack
What is a poosh?
Majandra Delfino
So that’s I’m still trying to figure it out. That is Kourtney Kardashians I think sort of answer to goop. She has this weekly newsletter.
Kulap Vilaysack
Oh, oh.
SuChin Pak
It sounds like air that comes out of your vegene. It’s like a woosh.
Majandra Delfino
Dainty queef.

Majandra Delfino

Kulap Vilaysack
Oh, wow.
Majandra Delfino
