This 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: is about halitosis, which is a real thing and people 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: that are afflicted with it. I can't help it. It's 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: really kind of sad. So from a please listen to 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: halitosis colon Worst Smell Ever. Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: a production of I Heart Radios How Stuff Works. Hey, 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There's Charles W. 10 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: Chuck Bry. Do you realize that some people might this 11 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: might be the first episode they listened to and they've 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: already turned it off and they're writing an iTunes review? 13 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: Something's wrong with that? Guy? Yeah, let's hope with the manga, 14 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: I can't believe there is so popular? How does anyone 15 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: listen to him? Yeah? What's up with the Yeah? And 16 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: how are they in the top ten? And I guy, 17 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: it must be like the a MSR thing. What is that? 18 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: You know where that people make videos where they're like 19 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: stroking your hair, but it's really they're just moving their 20 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: hand by the camera. They're talking like this and what 21 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: really wet and calming. But there's a subset of humans 22 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: who have a central nervous reaction. I just had one, 23 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: but it's pleasurable. They call him like a brain orgasm, 24 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: a a M s R. I think is R a 25 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: s R. I think it's a M s R. I 26 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: don't remember what it stands for. But it's like a 27 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: meditative video type of thing. I guess to some people. 28 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: Apparently you have like a reaction to it, and it's 29 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: very pleasurable, but it's non sexual. It's it's well when 30 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: you just whisper neurological. To me, I had a bad right, 31 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: I can imagine, so I I don't claim to be 32 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: one of those people. Man, oh man, this is getting 33 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: off to a good start. But we should do an 34 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: episode on that sometime. We people have requested it a 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: few times. Yeah, I want to. I'm gonna go find 36 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: out what it is we have to go to the 37 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,679 Speaker 1: trouble of writing an article for because there's not one 38 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: that's okay. I got a feel of those in the 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: hopper that I'd like to do. I do too, I 40 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: just haven't been able to get around to him. You've 41 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: been lazy, No, I've been busy, I said, we are 42 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: you ready? Are you familiar with halitosis? With with hold, 43 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: I've got a little intro for this. You've heard the 44 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: word halitosi is obviously yes, We're about to do an 45 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: episode on halitosis, so I hope. So, but even before this, 46 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: you've heard the word halitosis bad breath. It's like a 47 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: clinical term for bad breath. And that is true, and 48 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: it always was a clinical term for bad breath. But 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: the reason, Chuck, that you and I know that the 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 1: word halitosis means bad breath is thanks to a nice 51 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: little marketing scheme by the three guys who ran the 52 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: company that made listerine back in the nineteen twenties. Yeah. 53 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: We we've talked about Dr Jodgeph lister before and that 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: listerine was an antiseptic, surgical antiseptic, yes, and that's and 55 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: it was marketed as a surgical antiseptic and then a 56 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: household antiseptic. And then they said, you know what we're 57 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: we need to expand our market share, so let's get 58 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: into other markets. And so they said mouthwash. We'll start 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: telling people use it as mouthwash. And they made like 60 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: their office in turn put some in his mouth, swish 61 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: it around. He died. So they went and reformulated it 62 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: a little bit at a little water, right uh, and 63 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: then bang boom, they had listering the mouthwash. The problem was, 64 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: as they said, well, nobody's going to just start using 65 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: a mouthwash for no good reason. We have to appeal 66 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: to their low self esteem. And that's what they did 67 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: by looking through a medical dictionary, finding the word halitosies 68 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: and saying that's it. Yeah, it's an age old trick 69 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: and ads is to prey upon your how bad you 70 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: feel about yourself on a daily basis, and especially using 71 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: a medical jargon. Michief who called called it the medical gaze, 72 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: where it was basically like, if you add something that 73 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: sounds medically to a problem that your product can can 74 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: take care of you, you've got gangbusters right there. Yeah. 75 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: And it was an archaic term, Latin term that had 76 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: gone away completely. Yeah. It comes from the Latin halitus 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: for breath and the Greek suffix osis, which is used 78 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: to indicate abnormality or a disease state. Yea, but prelistering 79 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: and people weren't walking around saying the word halitosis. It 80 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: had gone the way of the dodo as a word. No, 81 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: And even still it was kind of like people weren't 82 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: really doing a lot to take care of their breath anyway. 83 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: It wasn't a thing until this group from the Listering 84 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: Company said we're gonna make it a thing, and we're 85 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: gonna make using mouthwash to combat this thing a thing, 86 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: and they did within a decade. It was just basically like, 87 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: that's what you did, you mouthwash every morning? Yeah, and 88 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: they I thought it was pretty funny. And where'd you 89 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 1: get that? Cracked? Yeah? Cracked? Yeah, it was a great 90 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: article and they said They went on to use other 91 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: words in advertising later on, like homatosis, which is if 92 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: you didn't have a tract of furniture, and uh, bromodosis 93 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: if you had smelly feet. Yeah, And I don't think 94 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: those they didn't catch on as well, not like halitosis. 95 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: For some reason, halitosis did catch on, and as a result, 96 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: there are people out there who have haldophobia. I'm one 97 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: of them. Oh yeah, not like I don't need to 98 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,239 Speaker 1: see a shrink, but um, my first girlfriend had halitosis. Yeah, 99 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: And I think I can say that because I don't 100 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: think she listens and I don't think she knows she 101 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: was my first girlfriend. Like I never said you're my 102 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: first girlfriend, right, But yeah, she had bad and I 103 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: say halitosis to me, there's a difference between everyone gets 104 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: bad breath occasionally, but there's a certain tang that's very 105 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: identifiable that I call halitosis. And she had it, and I, 106 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: you know, I felt like I had to kiss her 107 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: and stuff. This is my first girlfriend. I had to 108 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: learn how to do that junk. Yeah, man, And it 109 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: was I have dreams to this day halitosis kissing dreams. 110 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: Do you really that? I like, we'll see something like 111 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: gorgeous girl in my dream and I go to kiss 112 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: her and she has like this awful rotten breath. Like 113 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: it's a recurring dream. So I guess I have heldophobia. 114 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: I'm very aware of it and it that's why I 115 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: have a tongue scraper and all that junk. Well, apparently 116 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: that's one way to treat it. Yeah, we're getting ahead 117 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: of ourselves, soap boiler, and I should say I have 118 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: had a mild case of heltophobia. It may or may 119 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: not have been warranted. I don't know. I have my 120 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: own microphone cover for that reason, I know, but it's 121 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: not because you're protecting other people from your halitosis. Right, 122 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: you don't want your nose and other people's stuff, right, yes, Okay, 123 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: because the microphone cover at one point smelled really bad 124 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: and I got revolted and I ordered one the next day. Right. 125 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: So how how odo phobia refers to your fear of 126 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: your bad breath? You fearing other people breath? Yeah, yeah, 127 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: that's a different thing then. Okay, Yeah, no, I was 128 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: worried I had bad breath. I guess part of me, 129 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: like I have that concern because of other people's bad 130 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: breath about myself too, though. I think that's why I'm 131 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: like manic about brushing my tongue. Oh yeah, that's where 132 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 1: I really got it. I sat next to a movie 133 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: I sat next to some dude in a movie theater once, 134 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: and like he was facing forward. I always facing forward, 135 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: and I almost couldn't sit next to him the whole 136 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: time because it was that bad. You should have moved, 137 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why I didn't. Yeah, let's become my 138 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: self punishing, I guess. No. I used to do that, 139 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: Like at concerts. I always said that I would just 140 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: always the time be next to the most obnoxious drunk place, 141 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: and it used to just bother me and get under 142 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: my skin. But then I was like, you know what, 143 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start moving. Yeah, this didn't make me 144 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: like I wasn't mad at the guy. Felt horrible for him, 145 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: almost to the point where like I I was gonna 146 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: in my car and follow him home, and then like 147 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: after he got into his house, I was going to 148 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: come in after him and then sit him down and 149 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: then maybe we'd have like, um, some milk or something, 150 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: get him all calmed down, let him sleep, and then 151 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: when he woke up the next morning, I'd still be 152 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: sitting in his kitchen table. And then I would say 153 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: to him, I have something to tell you, And then 154 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: I would say, you have really bad breath, man, and 155 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: he'd say, no, crap, dude, I have a condition. Well 156 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: that's why you don't necessarily want to say anything to anybody, 157 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: because they may Yeah, so let's get down to this. 158 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: Garlic onions. These are the things that people frequently associate 159 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: how It's hostes with, yeah, which is a bunch of bs. 160 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: Well no, I mean like it can give you bad breath, yeah, 161 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: But that to me, that's the temporary bad breath that 162 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: one gets just from food. Yeah. And the reason why 163 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: you do get bad breath from, say, like onions in 164 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: particulars because garlic, I'm sorry, garlic, it contains something called allison, 165 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 1: which in the stomach is converted to all methyl sulfide, 166 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: which is not metabolized and which comes back up as 167 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: gas from your gut. So when you have bad breath 168 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: from onions, it's not onion particles in your mouth still, 169 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: that's gas leaking out of your gut into your mouth 170 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: and just kind of sticking there for a couple of hours. 171 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: You ever take garlic pills, Yeah, it's there they Yeah. 172 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 1: I'd just rather eat garlic any day of the week. Yeah, 173 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean I eat tons of garlic. I love it. 174 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: But I have taken garlic pills in the past here 175 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,439 Speaker 1: and there, and I will forget that I've taken one. 176 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: And then you burp up like lasagna, not for breakfast. 177 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: But it doesn't taste like good garlic. It tastes softful. 178 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: It's medicinal garlic. I didn't find I mean, the pill 179 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: didn't taste like anything, but my burps definitely. See it 180 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: was for me, I always I just thought it was different, 181 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,959 Speaker 1: tasted different. Yeah, I'd just rather like cut the top 182 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: off of a whole bulb of garlic, put some olive 183 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: oil on it, wrap it and foil, or put it 184 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: in your clay garlic baker and put it in the 185 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: oven for a little while and show down baby. Yeah. 186 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: Just squeeze those things right into your mouth. Good. Yeah, 187 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: and it's so good for you. We're in synct today. 188 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: Uh so you say you you your bed is that 189 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: you don't your garlic and onions don't count to you? Hals, No, 190 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: I think there are There is bad breath you can 191 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: just have because maybe you forgot to brush, or obviously 192 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: morning breath, which we'll get to. And then I think 193 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: some people, unfortunately, are have a constant state of uh 194 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: this very specific bad breath. Yeah. So I think one 195 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 1: and four people have actual halitosis. Right, that seems a 196 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: little high. But maybe people are just doing a good 197 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: job of masking it. Maybe so, but some people aren't. So. Um. 198 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: What it comes down to, ultimately, chuck. Halitosis is as 199 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: simple as the bacteria in our mouth. Yeah, the fact 200 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: that we have bacteria. It's the same thing as our armpits. 201 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: Why they smell bacteria breaking down stuff from our bodies 202 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: beneficially in distincty little gases. Yeah, and giving off little 203 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: bacteria too. Yeah. The the the average person has eight 204 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: hundred types of bacteria in the mouth, and um, they 205 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: don't need like it's a good thing. They don't tell 206 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: kids stuff like this growing up in school because fringe 207 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: kissing probably wouldn't happen, you know, Well, well then maybe 208 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: they should tell kids in school there. But it's really 209 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: a kind of a disgusting thing. Like you don't see 210 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: people licking armpits. Some people might. Ben Stiller, Yeah, yeah, 211 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: what was that in? Was it Ben Stiller who was 212 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: into it? Or was it a movie? Right? Yeah, I 213 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: seen that flirting with disaster ben still, but I can't 214 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: remember if it was Ben Stiller who was into it, 215 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: or if it's it was Josh Brolin was into Uh, 216 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: Patricia Arquette's armpits, that's right, Okay, Yeah, And Patricia Arquette 217 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: was married to Ben Yeah, and she let him look 218 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: her armpit in the Love that movie You Can't Catch 219 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: the Wind, remember that part? Um, all right, back to 220 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: the mouth and how disgusting it is. Uh, they say, 221 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: if you magnified just a single cell on the surface 222 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: of that tongue. You would see about a hundred types 223 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: of bacteria right just on that cell. So this this bacteria. 224 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: When you eat and you swallow food after masticating it, 225 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: which isn't dirty, it means to uh, you leave little 226 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: particles in your mouth. It gets stuck in your teeth there. 227 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: Maybe if like you have beginning period donal disease, it 228 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: might get stuck in your gums along your teeth a 229 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: little bit. The very least, it's gonna get stuck to 230 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: the back of your tongue and it just kind of 231 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: sits there. And the bacteria in your mouth love this stuff. 232 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: It's food to them, and they break it down into 233 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: particles and particles and they're like, this is pretty good, 234 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: but I can't get the energy from it fully. So 235 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna break down the amino acids even further and 236 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: then bam. When I do, I'm going to basically emit 237 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: sulfur sulfuric gases, and that's where bad breath comes from. 238 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: There's sulfuric gases that are again a byproduct of the 239 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: uh bacteria eating the food particles in your mouth. Yeah, 240 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 1: leftover proteins, yeah, and it's um. The mouth is a 241 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's a great breeding ground for it because 242 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 1: it's clammy and warm, and it's just got everything that 243 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: the bacteria loves to produce those stinky, stinky smells. Um. 244 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: But dry mouth can also cause halitosis because that's what 245 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: you get overnight and why you have stinky morning breath, 246 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 1: because your saliva production decreases when you sleep, Otherwise you 247 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: just be a drooling mess. Um. I wonder why that 248 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: doesn't work during naps on your school desk. I don't know, 249 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: you know, I guess because you don't go to sleep 250 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: enough be or if like your face is pressing against wood, 251 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: it's a signal of your body to increase wake up 252 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: the teacher is coming. But chronic dry mouth um is 253 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: something that can affect people during the daytime as well. 254 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: It's called zero stomia and um. If you have zerostomia, 255 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a harder time fighting your bad breath 256 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: because your mouth is always dry. Like the mouth, the 257 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: saliva just acts as a natural mouth wash exactly. Not 258 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: only renses away like food particles, it rents a way bacteria. 259 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: It rents is away the dead skin cells and dead 260 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: mouth cells that the bacteria also eat. Um and Yeah, 261 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: the dryer it is, the less that action takes place, 262 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: and you've got stinky breath. Yeah. So if you're on 263 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: anahistamines or um antidepressants or pain killers, uh, dry mouth 264 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: is a side effect to some of those drugs, so 265 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: you might have a harder time. Uh. And if you're 266 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: sick anyway, you're gonna have stinky your breath to Like 267 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: if you're fighting a sinus infection. Let's say it's gross, 268 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: yes breath, because that mucus trickles back from your sinuses 269 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: down to your tongue and sits there, Yeah, and gets 270 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: eaten up to nasty stuff.

It's like, yeah, but that all of a 323 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: sudden you're not on that diet more. Yeah, so that's 324 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: no solution. Yeah, you can get knocked out of keytoast 325 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: is pretty easy, I'm sure. Yeah, I think eating bread 326 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: would do it. So let's say you are sadly just 327 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: one of those people that just has that funky breath 328 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: one in four right, Yeah, if you're among that, it 329 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,479 Speaker 1: does seem high. Yeah, I doesn't it. And that's like 330 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: chronic calitosis right yeah, where it's not just like you know, 331 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: brushing your teeth isn't gonna do the trick. Yeah. Yeah, 332 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: that sounds like a fact brought to us by the 333 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: Listering company. It might be, but like I said, maybe 334 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: um of those people are really trying their hardest so 335 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,239 Speaker 1: you don't notice it, gotcha. And other people are just 336 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee all day, which is a 337 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: bad combination. Yeah, it's pretty bad combination that somehow they 338 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: become greater than the sum of their part. Yeah, you know, yeah, 339 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: but that's uh, that's breakfast for college students, you know, 340 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: coffee and cigarettes. So what do you do if you're 341 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: if you're gonna battle this stuff, if it's more than 342 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: just something like just a breath mat can handle what's 343 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: going to happen here? Well, the breath mat just good 344 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: thing to mention that that can provide a little temporary relief, 345 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: but it's just masking the underneath. Right, So you're really 346 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: not gonna get very far as a solution, no, because 347 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: all it's doing is creating the sensation of freshness in 348 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 1: your mouth. Yeah, because it I get I don't know 349 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: what breath of mints do have frequently wondered, like what 350 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: is like um um mental too? Does that open up 351 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: your pores so like the air feels colder and fresher? Oh, 352 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, like what creates that sensation? You don't know? Yeah, 353 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 1: that sounds like it don't be dumb episode to me, 354 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: but I think it might be. Um. What you want 355 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: to do is get to the root of the problem, 356 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: which is at bacteria and uh, like we said, food 357 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: particles in your teeth. Um is a big cause. So 358 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: brushing and flossing and the old tongue scraper and brushing 359 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: the back of the tongue you scrape the tongue. Doesn't 360 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: that make you gag? No, it doesn't bother me. I've 361 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: gotten used to it. I mean, you know, occasionally if 362 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: I overreach, that might be a little but I'm not 363 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: like retching in the back. I remember morning. I think 364 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: we should keep a webcam in your bathroom when you're 365 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: getting ready, just to catch those times that you do. Yeah, 366 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: just make ample vine compilation be hilarious. Uh So attacking 367 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: the source of the food particles. And you know, I 368 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: have the fake tooth now, so I have to be 369 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: extra careful to really brush along there because why I 370 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: think it would be like they've made it out of 371 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: some new super polymer that like reflects bacteria. Now that 372 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: the tooth itself is not the source, but it's um. 373 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: You know, where it meets the gum is not a 374 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: natural tooth. So I just have to like really brush 375 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 1: the crap out of that area my gum, you know, 376 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: get the craft out. I don't use mouthwash that which 377 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: is interesting. No, I just toothpaste. Well apparently, um, it's 378 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily and plenty of mouthwashes a suggestion for this 379 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: um specifically types that contain, according to the British Medical Journal, 380 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: chloro hexadrine glucinate, chlora hexadrine glucinate or what you want, 381 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: because they kill bacteria. I take issue with this. Yeah, 382 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: one of the main functions of mouthwash isn't to just 383 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: go in and kill bacteria, although most mouthwashers do that. Um, 384 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: it's the swishing action loosens food particles and gets them 385 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 1: out from in between your teeth. What I'm saying is 386 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: is you don't necessarily need to use a mouthwash that 387 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: kills bacteria because you kind of want healthy bacteria. You 388 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: want what's called the um uh an oral ecosystem, in 389 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: your healthy oral ecosystem or ecology in your mouth uh 390 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: you want Remember remember the Poop Shake episode, the poop 391 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: Transplant vehical transplant episode, we ended up talking about the 392 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: microbiome and how important it is to humanityature, same thing 393 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,719 Speaker 1: with our mouth. Yeah, you don't want to kill all 394 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: that bacteria now, and there's plenty bacteria that causes problems 395 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: like Streptococcus mutans. Is what gives us cavities. But there's 396 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: also plenty of beneficial bacteria where you would have a 397 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: mouthful of dead skin cells all over your tongue if 398 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: it weren't for this helpful bacteria breaking the stuff down. 399 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: It's your problem. Everybody wants to kill bacteria. That's not 400 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: necessarily a good thing. As a matter of fact, I 401 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: think we're learning more and more that it's not a 402 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: good thing. So I say avoid the mouthwash that kills 403 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: bacteria and just use some sort of mouthwash that maybe 404 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: has a minty flavor, but it's just really just swishing 405 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: the food particles out and getting rid of the bacteria's 406 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: food that's creating their stinky sulfur ducks. Yes, exactly. Um. 407 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: And because getting rid of the food is a big 408 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: part of it, I would suggest brushing your teeth after 409 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: lunch too, you know, like, don't make it just when 410 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: you get up and before you go to bed. I say, 411 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: go for three times a day. Whoa man who has 412 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: time for that? Everybody? Another good trick is to drink 413 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: a lot of water. Um. But you know, just keeping 414 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: your mouth hydrated daily basis is gonna help you. Said 415 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: that saliva is like a natural mouth wash. Water helps 416 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: it's it does the same thing, loosens food particles, gets 417 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: rid of dead skin cells. And the back of your 418 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: tongue apparently is like ground zero for it. Like I 419 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: think there's like twenty times more bacteria there than elsewhere 420 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: because it's like this bumpy surface that's out of the 421 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: way of all this other stuff. So things really stick 422 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: and accumulate back there. So that's the that's an area 423 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: you want to target, apparently with the tongue scraper. Yeah, 424 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: and you could just brush it as well. I do both. 425 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: But if you are a grown adult and you're not 426 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: either brushing your tongue or using a tongue scraper, then 427 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: you're not doing it right, Is that right? Yeah, somebody 428 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: needs to teach you. I give a quick part of 429 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: a quick you know, brush with with my toothbrush over 430 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: my tongue. But I worry about killing taste buds, like 431 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: I love tasting things. You're not gonna kill any taste buds. 432 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: Sure you can kill taste buds with that. Uh, well, 433 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: I haven't killed any, are you sure? Think about what 434 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: kind of a super taster you could be without your 435 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: scrap No, I do worry about that. I'm kind of like, 436 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: I'd rather have low level bad breath and be able 437 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: to taste great stuff, then have no bad breath whatsoever 438 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: and not be able to taste. I would rather have 439 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: no bad breath and still taste everything. Well, yeah, that's 440 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: the holy grail. What kind of like flim flam world? 441 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: Are you living in it? It's called Chuck's Life. It's nice. 442 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: It is nice. If none of this stuff works for you, 443 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: you may have a problem, Like you might want to 444 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: go see a dentist, uh, and maybe even a doctor. Well, yeah, 445 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: the dentist might say, go to the doctor. Yeah, I 446 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: go to the doctor, see you you have a mousey breath, 447 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: which means your liver shutting down, and find a new dentist. 448 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: You know, there's a smell test that they do that 449 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: dennists do really Yeah, what they'll do still say, Okay, 450 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: this is gonna be gross, but I want you to 451 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: breathe through your mouth and I'm going to sniff close 452 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: to your mouth. And then they say, okay, now I 453 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: want you to breathe through your nose and I'm gonna 454 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: sniff close to your nose and they can determine whether 455 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: it's a nasal and like a problem in your nasal 456 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: cavity that can give you bad breath. You can have 457 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: stinking sinuses, so gross, or if it's in your mouth, 458 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: and then they can further deduce it like yeah, if 459 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: this is the dentist doing this, yeah, and if it's 460 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: in your if it's coming through your nose, it suggests 461 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: possibly not just your sinuses, but it could be pulmonary 462 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: to like you could have some sort of lung problem 463 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: that's creating gases that stink and are coming out of 464 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 1: your nose rather than your mouth. So I guess they 465 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: train you to do that indental school. Huh. I guess 466 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: I could have to. That's not a very popular day, 467 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: you know, everybody pair up. Oh my god, there's the 468 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 1: one guy in the corner, like eating a sandwich. It's like, 469 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 1: what can I give a m two more tips? Please 470 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: get ten more. If you eat a crunchy breakfast like granola, 471 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: cereal or something like that, Okay, it's going to clear 472 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: out a lot of the gunk from the night before. 473 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: You just want to make sure you get rid of 474 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: all those food particles afterwards. And then if you're interested 475 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: in a mouth wash that is not antibacterial, really certainly now. Yeah. Uh, 476 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: it's you take a half a cup of warm water 477 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: and eighth of a teaspoon of cinnamon and one teaspoon 478 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: of honey, swirl all together and uh swish it around 479 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: and gargle it. That's like um, like old timey mouthwash apparently. Yeah, 480 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: and we could probably recommend apple cider vinegar just for anything.

You 516 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: guys sold it so hard, like and we just threw 517 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: it together. We were like, hey, let's just try. It 518 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: wasn't some big plot. We there's no practice planned for 519 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: weeks and weeks like, hey, maybe we should do an 520 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: April Fool's joke this year. And I said, hey, maybe 521 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: I quit the show and Ben took my place, and 522 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,239 Speaker 1: you guys just winged it and like nailed it. Man. 523 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: I was sitting here beside you and I felt like 524 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: I was watching my own funeral. Yeah. It was weird. Yeah, 525 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: you kept going like cut, cut, stop, stop, and we're like, no, 526 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: we have to press on. So we're not jokesters typically, 527 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: but it was I think it was our only one 528 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: to be released on April fools Day. Was the first 529 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: time we had the opportunity to release one on April 530 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: Fools and look out two years from now, because that'll 531 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: be a yeah yeah. But if we do, like Josh 532 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: left the show, every would be like no, no, no, 533 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: or they'll be expecting that oh yeah, and we'll do 534 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: it and they'll be like, well, wait a minute, they 535 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: thought that. I would think that, you know, maybe we 536 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: could just give you like I don't know, you could 537 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: have a heart attack on the show or something. Uh 538 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: but anyway, we got an out worrying of people because 539 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: I was dead or missing. I know, people really really 540 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: reacted to that. Like a lot of people said they 541 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: didn't realize how much they needed you until when we're gone. 542 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: And yeah, there were plenty of people who said, like, Josh, 543 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: if it had been you, I would have felt the 544 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: same way. But um well I got to play the martyr. 545 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: I got the plumb roll. It was nice. It's like 546 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: I got a head to do nothing and just get 547 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: showered with actulation. But it was it was very neat 548 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: to see, like people were like, never leave, don't ever 549 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: do that again, and it was pretty cool. Actually. Yeah. 550 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: And also I want to say on behalf of Ben, 551 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: he asked us to to let everybody know whenever we 552 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: could that he actually was purposefully sounding terrible what he 553 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: was doing. He like that was play acting. Yeah. Yeah, 554 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: the whole point was like we wanted it to be 555 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: super awkward, right, I think you guys achieved that. Okay, 556 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: So so go ahead, back from the dead, Chuck. So 557 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: just from Matt from Athens, Georgia. Uh go dogs, Hey, guys, 558 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: my girlfriend I had been listeners For years, I didn't 559 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: realize just sound important to the show was to us. 560 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: So until your April fools Day show. I had listened 561 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: to the episode before she did, and he didn't even 562 00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: tell her. That's kind of mean. And I was keen 563 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: on setting her up for the gag, so I sat 564 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: it down in the kitchen table and told her that, uh, 565 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: stuff you should know at some big news. I knew 566 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: she'd be sucked into the prank, but was not prepared 567 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: for what happened next. She started to cry and denounced 568 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: the show with one of you gone, saying she would 569 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 1: stop listening. She was worried about Chuck. I even have 570 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: people are worried about Emily. They were like they thought 571 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: Emily was in the hospital. U Chuck started um. She 572 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: said she would stop listening and was worried about Chuck 573 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: and started tossing out possible explanations like the best of 574 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: conspiracy theorists. She was so sad that I had to 575 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: fast forward to the reveal. After her surprising yet pretty 576 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: cute reaction, I was hoping to swap out her emotional 577 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,719 Speaker 1: connection for a birthday shout out. She's a contemporary dancer 578 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: and uses the ideas in your podcast and her classes 579 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: in choreography. I think dances about Alan turning. I gotta 580 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: see this. Yeah, it's crazy. I admit this pretty crass 581 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: way of getting a happy birthday, but I think it's 582 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: worth a shot. So, Matt, you didn't tell us your 583 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: girlfriend's name, So we're just gonna say happy birthday to 584 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: Matt's girlfriend from Athens.
