(man knocking on door)
- [Interviewer] Hey David, it's Men's Health,
here to see your gym and fridge.
- Oh, hello.
(bell dinging)
What a surprise, come on, let's go take a look.
(upbeat electronic music)
- [Interviewer] What staples do you always
have in your fridge?
- I'm a yogurt guy from way back.
Kombucha for the belly, stomach.
Hummus, I like hummus.
I'm mostly vegetarian, but not fully.
I do eat fish.
Down here we got juicing stuff like beet, carrot.
I've gotten back into juicing recently.
Fruit.
I like this coconut stuff, again, good for the belly.
What is it called, the biome, the gut.
All right, so this should be in everybody's fridge.
These are jams that Louis Dreyfus sent me
that she and her husband make.
I don't know if she wants you to know about her jams,
but now you do.
This could be the last two I ever get
because I gave away her secret.
- [Interviewer] What's your go-to protein
when you're not eating meat?
- Powders, bars, tofu, tempeh.
My daughter makes a great salmon dish
with salmon and mayo and seaweed wraps
and she says it's from TikTok.
It's hard to imagine food on TikTok,
but I guess it is.
- [Interviewer] How are your skills in the kitchen?
- During the pandemic, decided I was gonna
maybe learn something about cooking.
So, I started getting the meals delivered raw,
it was nothing for me to do.
The portions were already there.
The instructions, they're really foolproof.
I think I was too impatient.
If it says 45 minutes at 350, I go 35 minutes at 500.
It's probably not a good idea.
- [Interviewer] What would we never see in your fridge?
- You'd never see in my fridge?
A severed head, maybe.
I said, maybe.
("The X-Files" theme song playing)
- [Interviewer] What do you usually have for breakfast?
- Usually just coffee.
I don't really eat a big breakfast or I have the oatmeal.
When I get up I like to pee more than I like to eat.
How's that?
And I try not to do that in the fridge.
- [Interviewer] Well, in that case,
how do you take your coffee?
- I take it black or the little oat milk
or there's a guy up here, Laird Hamilton,
who has like a line of kind of a creamer substitute
that has some protein in it.
- [Interviewer] What goes into your protein shakes?
- I will do this concoction with my vegetable juices.
I'll put beets, carrots, cucumber
and then I'll go over here,
I'll put in the mushroom supplements
and this is all in vegetable juice,
so it could sound disgusting, but it's pretty tasty
'cause this is like peanut butter collagen
and this is vanilla protein.
It's like a smorgasboard of flavor.
- [Interviewer] You live such a healthy style.
What are some of your favorite comfort foods?
- West, what's my go to comfort food?
Cereal?
- [West] Pie.
Pie, cereal, yogurt.
Yogurt's like to answer everything.
- [Interviewer] How has your diet changed over the years?
- I may not be so methodical about what I eat,
but I am a little more methodical
about just using my body every day.
I do find that it helps my head
more than anything else and my spirit.
So let's head to the gym and figure that out.
(upbeat rock music)
- [Interviewer] How often do you work out?
- I probably work out six days a week
where I do something, not like a workout,
but I'm probably sweating at something, workout-like.
- [Interviewer] What machine is this?
- This is the Lagree Fitness Mega Performer.
It's like pilates inspired movement and work.
- [Interviewer] How has your training
changed over the years?
- Well, I never did this until 10 or 15 years ago.
I think I'd heard of it, but I never got into it.
I did a lot of yoga in my thirties and forties
and then I think when I did "Californication,"
I knew I was gonna have my shirt off quite a bit,
that's when I really first went into the gym,
started lifting some weights.
- [Interviewer] Do you find it ironic that you had
to train harder to play a drunk writer
than you did to play an FBI agent?
- Well, that's the magic of Hollywood.
We always said like, "If Hank Moody was really living
"the way he was living he was living,
"he wouldn't look like this."
- [Interviewer] What exercise do you hate the most?
- This one.
Makes me shake.
I'm trying to pull it up with my with my abdomen,
not my legs again.
I try to do this three or four times a week.
- [Interviewer] How do you keep your mind fit?
- Swim,
I read,
I write,
I try to do new things.
I try to take up new things, new creative things.
- [Interviewer] All right,
time for some rapid fire questions.
Workout time, 7:00 AM or 7:00 PM?
- 7:00 AM.
- [Interviewer] Squat or deadlift?
- Squat.
- [Interviewer] Favorite song in your workout playlist?
- "Kashmir" by Zeppelin.
- [Interviewer] CrossFit, yay or nah?
- Yay.
- [Interviewer] Pull ups or chin-ups?
- Both.
- [Interviewer] Dumbbells or kettlebells?
- Dumbbells.
- [Interviewer] Run the treadmill or the great outdoors?
- You know, the truth is the treadmill,
but I wanna say the great outdoors.
- [Interviewer] Cardio or weights?
- Cardio, weights, both.
- [Interviewer] Big legs or big arms?
- Big legs, not an option.
Stuck with what I got.
- [Interviewer] Biggest compliment,
jacked, ripped, swole or cut?
- Cut.
- [Interviewer] If you could work out with anyone,
dead or alive, who would it be?
- Well, Muhammad Ali, maybe.
- [Interviewer] David Duchovny made it through
our rapid fire questions.
Looks like you were on yourself a dip in the cold tub.
(David groaning)
- That first few seconds suck.
No, I lied, it's the first minute.
No, I lied, it's the whole time, it sucks.
So, yeah, please, "The Bubble" on Netflix, April 1st.
Here's your mnemonic device, the bubble.
"The Bubble," April 1st.
Come back and work out anytime.
