Or if I 48 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: laugh a lot, which I'm trying to just lead a 49 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: more somber life. Well I plan on making you laugh 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: a lot on stage so people might see it. Then 51 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: what else? Have you got a dog? Yeah? We got 52 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: a puppy named Momo. You wanna talk about Momo? Momo 53 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: is very sweet. She's a sweet little zoo poodle next year. 54 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: How's that going. She's a little fluff ballt very good. Yes, good? 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: Right off the bat we um we create trained her 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: and at first I was like chrits or mean, put 57 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: a dog and create, And then I started to read 58 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: up on it, like yes, it's like her den. It's 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: her little room like her bedroom. In fact, when we 60 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: took away the crate from our youngest dog, Charlie because 61 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: of we needed a breakfast nook. Um. She was kind 62 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: of like, dude, he took my room away. That was 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: my room. Yeah. We plan to keep her crate around, 64 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: like as long as she wants it, but just she 65 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: won't be penned in it against her will at certain 66 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: times until until she's house broken, which I mean she's 67 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: basically there. It's just we're we're like, what are you doing, 68 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: You're about to pee? You know. Um, she doesn't actually 69 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: have accidents in the house. We're just you know, staying 70 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: on top of that. It's great. What else happened? Uh? 71 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: We had holidays, yes, good Christmas. In the New Year's 72 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: I guess Humi's birthday. Oh yeah, the birthday. Um, and 73 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: it was just a nice time off. Like I had 74 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: this big to do list and uh none of it 75 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: got done because I was raising replace that. Yeah, how's 76 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: your kid? Uh, Ruby's great man. And I did the 77 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: same thing. I had a big to do list and 78 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: I found myself just kind of be like, oh, could 79 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: you do this? Or I could just like play with 80 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: my kid, right, or watch Making a Murderer? Yeah, I 81 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: did watch all that. Stay here and like a day 82 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. We probably shouldn't talk about it. 83 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: People wanted to do a podcast on that. I don't 84 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: like a follow up. Maybe it's not as bad as 85 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: the request to do a podcast on the h the 86 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: case that Sereal covered, like I think Cereal cover. No, 87 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: of course not. I could maybe do a follow up 88 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: on making a murder. I think we should revisit Um 89 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: Exonerations and the Innocence Project again because when we did 90 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: that one, we had no idea what was going on, 91 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: and now it's really like it's really coming through true. 92 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: So yes, let's do that. I've been playing a lot 93 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: of uh I got a p S four. Oh yeah, 94 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: I've been playing Fallout for with the Dog and the Dogs. Well, 95 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: you can't have a dog companion, so of course I 96 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: chose it. But it's really awful because the dog gets 97 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: hurt a lot and like struggles around, whimpering and out 98 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: of its misery. Well, no, you can heal the dog. 99 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: But I went to message boards and everyone's like, don't 100 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: heal your dog, Like, just trust me, it'll heal itself. 101 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: Don't waste your medicine. Okay, yeah, I'm sure you waste 102 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: your medicine every time, don't you. Well, yeah, it's tough 103 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, and it's like, oh, okay, don't mind me. 104 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: Dog meat and that's his name. So that's a that 105 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: was a big time off. Just it was and that's 106 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: all that happened. Jerry, How about you? That was great, Jerry. 107 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: I'm glad you had a nice time as well. Jerry 108 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: also had a nice break with her little baby in 109 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: these through a series of blinks she did that we've 110 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: worked out over the year. Nice job, all right, So 111 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: sorry about the long injury, but I felt like we 112 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: needed to catch everyone up, even though you didn't know 113 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: that you needed it right, And maybe has something to 114 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: do with caffeine because we did such a good job 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: when we recorded those ones that were released over the 116 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: break of predicting things we would be talking about the time, 117 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: who could tell exactly. So I'm a little caffeinated right now, 118 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: believe it or not. What a shock. Um. I don't 119 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: drink nearly as much as coffee as I used to. 120 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: It's because I really realized, like it really does have 121 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: a detrimental effect on like my mood. Stay in the 122 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: car cars are really good example of me and caffeine. 123 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: You're a little ramped up in the car anyway, so 124 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: that probably and help. Right. Well, I'm working on that, 125 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: but part of working on that is just, you know, 126 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: not drinking as much coffee. Yeah. I think a good 127 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: title for this could be mixed messages because in studying caffeine, 128 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: and we did one on coffee, we dabbled in this 129 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: a little bit, but um, all research is, you know, caffeine, 130 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: it can be really good for you and help a 131 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: lot of things, and caffeine can be kind of bad 132 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: for you, and it's kind of both or can be both. 133 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: It sure, things like that unless we have like a 134 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: completely misunderstood UM model of addiction and um the parasympathetic 135 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,679 Speaker 1: or sympathetic nervous system. Unless we don't know those things, 136 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: then yeah, coffee is both for sure. The weird thing is, 137 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: like everybody realizes that coffee, I'm sorry, caffeine. I think 138 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna do that a lot this episode because 139 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: they are virtually interchangeable. But it's not really but caffeine, um, 140 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: it is. It has a lot of really bad effects 141 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: on you, and a lot of people know that just 142 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,679 Speaker 1: from having experienced it. It's the it's the beneficial effects 143 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: that are so surprising. They do seem to like you say, agreed, 144 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: So Chuck, I drink today. I've had five cups of 145 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: coffee and mountain diet mountain dew. And it is one 146 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: forty in the afternoon. What time did you get up? Seven? Yes, 147 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm counting on my fingers. Six and a half hour. 148 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: You six and a half hours. You've had five cups 149 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: of coffee in a mountain dew. The met's cutting back, yes, 150 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: oh man, Yeah, and it's cutting back because I like 151 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: this afternoon. I won't keep going. Oh so you stop? 152 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: This is this will be my last probably really for 153 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, okay, And I'm actually I'm above average 154 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: for the United States. And I could have guessed that, 155 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: but the average for the United States is actually on 156 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: the worse end of the spectrum as far as like 157 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: caffeine consumption goes. Yeah. The latest information I got this 158 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: that the US was sixteenth in the world in per 159 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: capita consumption, not even or nine or any anywhere above ten. 160 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: If you want to know who leads the world right out, 161 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: I think it's the Netherlands, is what I found. I 162 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: found Finland from that was the most recent I saw. Well, 163 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: the most recent I saw said the Netherlands at two 164 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: point four, with Finland at one point eight. But that 165 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: is not what I saw. Yeah, where were the Netherlands 166 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: on your list? I don't remember. I just saw the 167 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: Finland was number one at like two point four and 168 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: um like nine point six kilograms of coffee beans per 169 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: person per year consumed. Well, I bet the top ten 170 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: is kind of interchangeable and fairly static, though, as in 171 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: the Samish countries in different orders. Yeah, because I mean 172 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: coffee consumption patterns. I guess they could change fairly rapidly, 173 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: but they don't change in the blink of an eye. 174 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: We'll think about how much Starbucks change coffee consumption in 175 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: this country, didn't ramp it up? Oh yeah, Like think 176 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: about how many people now swing by Starbucks are like 177 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: three pm, whereas before they may not even have drank coffee, 178 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean Charbucks. Yeah, actually have no skin in the 179 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: game Starbucks. Yeah, I don't really well, you know, I 180 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: mean I don't drink caffeine that much. I know, very mellow. Yeah, 181 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm starting to think I should drink 182 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: more coffee though, because of the health benefits. Oh yeah, 183 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: you know. Um, we'll see, we'll get into all that. 184 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: But in the top ten you have Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, 185 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: in Mark, Germany, scandin Maybia loves her coffee, apparently, Slovakia, Serbia, 186 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: Czech Republic, Poland, Norway than eventually the US cold countries. 187 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: It's not bad, although Brazil loves its coffee as well. 188 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: I think they're like number ten or eleven or something 189 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: like that. Good coffee. I didn't see they weren't even 190 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: in my top sixteen. So we had different lists made 191 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: by two different caffeinated weirdos. Uh so, the us UM, 192 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: the FDA, and the A m A. Right now, I 193 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: think they raised it to four hundred milligerms a day 194 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: from three hundred, just in that pace of changing coffee consumption. Yeah, 195 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: I think it's now to four hundred milligrams a day, 196 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: as they said, should be like the upper limit of 197 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: what you should drink and what is cool to drink 198 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: for your health, right, not by being cool. You could 199 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: drink a hundred cups to day and you'd be super cool. 200 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: That's why I drink coffee so much. And so so 201 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: what is that four d milligrams a day? That's about 202 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: two eight ounce cups of coffee. Yes, like high high coffee. Um, 203 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's no more than maybe three. Well, and 204 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: that's caffeine though that's not coffee, So you might also 205 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: be drinking sodas, or eating chocolate or eating on a 206 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: cocoa nib that's packed with caffeine. Yeah. Yeah, it does 207 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: show up in all sorts of surprising places, um, including 208 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: I looked this up decaff coffee as well. We should say, yeah, 209 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: it's still got some caffeine in there, right, Yeah, So 210 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: like a cup of coffee, eight ounces of coffee can 211 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: have anywhere from like seventy five to two milligrams of 212 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: caffeine in it. Decaf coffee still might have like twenty milligrams. 213 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: And I mean it doesn't sound like much, but if 214 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: you're pounding decaf coffee because you love coffee but you're 215 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: trying to cut back on caffeine, stuff can adda interesting. Yeah. 216 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: I knew there was some caffeine, but maybe that's not 217 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: Is that negligible? I it's twenty itself. Just if you 218 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: drank one decaffe eate a couple of coffee a day, Yes, 219 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: I think on the overall effects of your health that 220 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: would be negligible, but both ways because again the coffee 221 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: giveth and the coffee take it the way the double 222 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: edged drug. Yeah, and it is. It is a drug. 223 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: And it is also in t which we'll get to 224 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: as well. Um, but yeah, it's a drug. It's it 225 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: naturally occurs like many drugs. But it is a stimulant 226 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: called trimethyls anthine. Chemical formulas C H uh C eight 227 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: H one zero in for O two not zero two. 228 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: I think there's a ten in there. What did I say? 229 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: One zero? Which you know if you're on a CB 230 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: or something, they get the point. Oh man, this is 231 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: close to CB chatter as as you can come. Um, 232 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: I quick segue here. I used to love talking on 233 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: the CB because my dad had one in his jeep. 234 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: And remember when CB culture was huge in the seventies. 235 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: My buddy John Pendell now is a trucker. You met 236 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: John where in at our New York shows, Tall Johnny Pendell. Uh, 237 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: he's a trucker now and I got to hang out 238 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: and get in his truck. Uh. And he does not 239 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: use a CB, and he said that he might get one, 240 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: but it's not like the standard thing anymore. Texting and 241 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: cell phones I mean he's said, if you really want 242 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: to be a part of that big trucker culture, you 243 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: can do the c B Still, well, you can just 244 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: be a lone wolf. He's a lone wolf right now. 245 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: He is. He needs one of those um jackets like 246 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: Lenny and Squeaky used to wear. Yeah, it was fascinating 247 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: that we need to do an episode on trucking, because 248 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: when I saw him, all I did was ask questions. Basically, Yeah, 249 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: it's fascinating. Does he have his own rig? No, he doesn't. Okay, anyway, well, 250 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: hey to Johnny and he listens to the podcast now, 251 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: So hey Johnny, because you don't need to see if 252 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: you listen to stuff, you should know we are your company, 253 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: all right. So anyway, caffeine, he does drink a lot 254 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: of caffeine. I think that's where I was going that. Yeah, 255 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: but that that really had nothing to do with it. 256 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: I brought up sebs because he said, H one zero, 257 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: why don't we take a break and get our sea 258 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: legs back? Are pe legs are a little rusty? And 259 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: um P is in podcast? Not you're in I thought you, Oh, hey, 260 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: I'll tell you some thing about this break. I learned 261 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: that there's something called mixturition syncope, and mixturition is a 262 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: lot of people think it means two P. No urination 263 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: is two P. Mixturition is the urge to pe. Syncope 264 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: is a fainting spell. So there's a condition out there 265 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: called mixturition syncope where people faint after they pee. There's 266 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: also one called defication syncope, where people faint after they 267 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: poop if they have no idea. I think Elvis had 268 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: the most severe case of that. All right, well, don't 269 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: let that happen to you during this break, and we 270 00:15:38,360 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: will be back right after this. Have we got it together? 271 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: That was like half a second. Are we good? Yeah? 272 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: I guess though. All right, we're gonna give it another step. 273 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: So caffeine, I think that's what we're talking about. It's 274 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: a drug, and in its pure form, chuck is a bitter, 275 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: bitter tasting crystalline powder. It's actually very closely related at 276 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: least in its effects to um opoi opioid antagonists like heroin, cocaine, caffeine. Yeah, 277 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: um and I will talk a little more about the brain, 278 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: the effects on the brain, but it is um It 279 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: does have these effects, and it does basically this it 280 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: uses the same mechanism as these drugs, and therefore it 281 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: can cause addictions just like these drugs as well. Yeah, 282 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: and um, Like I said, it occurs naturally. It's in 283 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: the coffee bean and in chocolate and t um, but 284 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: it's also added artificially and things like soda. UM and 285 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: I looked up the sodas to get the most recent 286 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: um amount. And Pepsi one right now, I think as 287 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: the most caffeine. Man, do you remember jolt and I 288 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: used to drink a ton of ault. I'm sure you did. Well. 289 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: I would drink one right before the podcast, remember, and 290 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: I'd just be like talking a thousand miles an hour 291 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: the good old days. Because I've settled down quite a bit, 292 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: you have, I'm happier for it. Pepsi one at fifty 293 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: seven milligrams, tab is number two at forty eight, diet 294 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: coca forty six. You will work your way down to 295 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: regular role Coca cola at thirty three milligrams per twelve 296 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: ounce can um and the FDA regulates how much caffeine 297 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: you can put in a soda. A soda A soda. 298 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: That's the key, that's right. If you were an energy 299 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: drink um like Red Bull or any of those other 300 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: gross tasting things. I don't like them personally, but people 301 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: love them. I just don't like the taste. But um, 302 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: that's the work around for the FDA. Because they're not 303 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: considered SODA's. They can put lots of caffeine and sugar 304 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: to the tune of about eight milligrams per um eight 305 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: point three ounces, which you're like the case of Red Bull, 306 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: that's a lot of caffeine. It does seem like a lot, 307 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: but some people love to take it even further. And 308 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: there's like those five hour energy shots. Oh yeah, I 309 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: have had those before. Those are two I have not 310 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: tried it before. I don't know why. I think I 311 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: was doing construction work and I was really tired, and 312 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: I was at the big box store and it was 313 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: right there to checkout. I was like, let me try 314 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: this thing, yeah, and it it ramped me up. I 315 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: felt like a speedhead. So in the in that little 316 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: two ounce shot, there's two milligrams of of caffeine, the 317 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: one like a high end amount in a coffee in 318 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: that little two ounce shot. Okay, And I think those 319 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: are the like coffee has the most of any beverage. 320 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: I think espresso ounce for ounce has the most well, 321 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: I mean from the coffee being at least espresso bean, 322 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: not like an artificial drink, is what I meant. We 323 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: got an espresso maker and has pronounced effects. It's crazy 324 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: how different it is from coffee. Yeah. I like an 325 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: espresso every now and then, and I like my coffee 326 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: right now and then, but just every now and then. 327 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: If you want the health benefits though, and you're like, 328 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,479 Speaker 1: I don't drink that much coffee, you should just be 329 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: injecting pure caffeine chunk. Can you do that? They do 330 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: it to mice. Yeah, that's a good point, as we'll 331 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: see you later on. Um true, I should probably again, 332 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: it's been several weeks since we've done this. I need 333 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: to probably throw out a disclaimer there. That was a joke, right, 334 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: don't inject caffeine. And you know, if you can even 335 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: get your hands on pure caffeine, do not inject it. 336 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: You probably shouldn't inject anything, let alone the pure form 337 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: of anything, because even too much water can kill you. 338 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: Always remember that everybody, Even too much water can kill you. 339 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: And I did look into caffeine overdoses because I was curious, 340 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: and it doesn't happen much because you'd have to drink 341 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: so much of something that it makes it unlikely. But 342 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: there have been overdose is blamed on caffeine pills, like okay, 343 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: what's the milligram amount, what's the dosage amount? That I 344 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: can't remember. This one kid died in Connecticut, like a 345 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: nineteen year old that I think he had like a 346 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: dozen or two dozen caffeine pills. Um. And it's the 347 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: I think the deal with caffeine pills. It's concentrated and 348 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: it hits you all at once, So taking a lot 349 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: of it is just like overdosing on any kind of stimulant. 350 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: I think it's a stimulant. Yeah, that's some weird stuff 351 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: to you in killing you. And like you said, Schucker's Um. 352 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: We already talked about coffee in the coffee episode, right, 353 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: but it's just some of it bears repeating, like um, 354 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: the lighter the roast, the higher the caffeine content, typically 355 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: because the roasting process actually bakes out a lot of 356 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: the caffeine. I thought you were gonna make up a 357 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: clever rhyme like the light of the roast, the darker 358 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: the toast or something No, that's that doesn't make any sense. 359 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: The rhymes got it at least makes sense or else 360 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: it's just rhyming words about how about the lighter the 361 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: roast more caffeine than most About that that actually makes sense? 362 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: And so if you want to extract the most caffeine 363 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: out of your diet. Actually came across a website called 364 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: Bulletproof Exact. You know that bulletproof coffee thing where you 365 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: put like butter in your coffee. It's like a diet thing. Um, 366 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: I think aids and pooping and butter in your coffee. Yeah, 367 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: butter in your coffee called bulletproof. It's actually not bad. 368 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: If you like that, though, take it one step further 369 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: and use um coconut oil. That's even better because's got 370 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: a little it's like an almond joy creamer, but like 371 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: an oily version of it. Anyway, this Bulletproof Exact, they 372 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: had a post about maximizing your caffeine intake so you 373 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: can suck to your underlings throughout the day or whatever 374 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: most efficiently. Right and um, one of the things that 375 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: they said is that grapefruit you should eat more grapefruit 376 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: because grapefruit contains something called um narragant or narrow gin um. 377 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: And it actually slows the removal of caffeine from your brain, 378 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: so you enjoy its effects longer. Yeah. So a morning 379 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: breakfast in the nineteen fifties of coffee and the grape 380 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: half a grapefruit, that's all you needed. And then your 381 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: noon cocaine bump just to keep you going, just drinking 382 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: coca cola exactly. And um, if you also, if you 383 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: want to maximize your caffeine and take from coffee, you 384 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: should look at the beans you're drinking. So Arabica, which 385 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: is I think the most prevalent coffee um has it's 386 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: one point five percent caffeine, but robusta two point four 387 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: That is robust as far as I know, that's the 388 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: highest caffeine content naturally of any coffee bean. So a 389 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: light roast robusta is gonna basically with your grapefruit. Yeah 390 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: you it will be like getting kicked in the chest 391 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: by a mule. Wow. And it doesn't that sound appealing. 392 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: That's what every bulletproof exact want shows you how to 393 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: be more efficient, robber baron. So let's get down to 394 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: this man. Uh, how how does caffeine actually affect your brain, 395 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: because it does affect your brain. The whole point behind 396 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: taking coffee and stuff like that is as the guy 397 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: who wrote this article, oh, the three guys who wrote 398 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: this article, including you, Yeah, on this I forgot. Um 399 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: it's it's using caffeine. It's a form of self medication. 400 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: Of course. That's why most people drink it, I think, 401 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: to get that boost in the morning, um or in 402 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: the middle of afternoon. Yeah, and I'm sure people love 403 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: the taste and stuff. It's not like they're holding their 404 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: nose and forcing this drink down their throat. Well that's 405 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: what like five hour energes for. No, don't taste very good, 406 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: do they not. I've never tasted one. I've always wondered, 407 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: but I've never wanted to experience its effects so badly 408 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: that I tasted it. I mean, you know, it's like, uh, 409 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: just that synthetic fruit taste. Does it taste like medicinal 410 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: at all? Yeah? It just taste. Yeah, this is not 411 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: good in my opinion. Well, it's as two ounces. You 412 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: get it over with real quick, it down and like 413 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: you're done, punch a wall. Uh So how does it 414 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: work on the brain? It tricks your brain actually by 415 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: mimicking something called ADENA scene. UM, and it's it's kind 416 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: of remarkable actually because what it does is it mimics 417 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: a DNA scene and then does the opposite of what 418 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 1: a DNA scene does, which is to try and help 419 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: you sleep. It's pretty cool. Yeah, so you know you 420 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: have a sleep wake cycle, right, part of the sleep 421 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 1: cycle is a DNA scene UM latching onto the adenacene 422 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: receptors on your neurons. And yeah, it does make you 423 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: sleepy because it slows the the function of your neurons down. 424 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: It's a it's a big buzz kill. Basically, it's a 425 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: drag aDNA scene is well, it's great, it is, Yeah, 426 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: it's it's it helps make you sleepy. And what caffeine 427 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: does is it gets in there to the same receptor. 428 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: It binds to the same receptor as a DNA scene. UM. 429 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: It was because you're brain thinks it's a DNA scene. 430 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: It puts on it's a DNA sing costume pretty much, 431 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: which consists of like a sparkly one piece jumpsuit. It's 432 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: a onesie um. And it not only doesn't slow your 433 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: neurons down and apparently speeds them up. Yes, so your 434 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: brain starts going hey wire. That's part one of what 435 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: caffeine does your brain. It not only doesn't slow your 436 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 1: brain down, it prevents the thing that does slow your 437 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: brain down from slowing your brain down, and it actually 438 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: speeds your brain up wire. And not only that, but 439 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: a DNA scene UM usually will not usually a DNA 440 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: scene always causes your blood vessels to dilate, and caffeine 441 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: causes them to constrict, which sounds bad, but one of 442 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: the pluses, and we'll get into the benefits, but one 443 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,360 Speaker 1: of them is um constricting. It can it maybe help 444 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: you avoid headaches and migraines. And that's why caffeine is 445 00:25:54,520 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: in things like Annison or my my old reliable BC 446 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 1: or Goodies headache powders that I use contain caffeine. Yeah, 447 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: that's my secret hangover helper BC powder PC or Goodies. 448 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: It acts fast. They work really well too, both together. Yeah. Yeah, 449 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: So caffeine is a vaso constrictor right, that's right. It 450 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: constricts your blood vessels, and like you said, that can 451 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: actually help your headaches because a lot of headaches vascular headaches, 452 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: I guess, is what they're called, or when your blood 453 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: vessels are too big, and the change and pressure in 454 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: your brain gives you this horrible headache. Right, So while 455 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: this is happening, your body thinks these neurons are firing. 456 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: Your pituitary gland says you must be in trouble because 457 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be going to sleep. Buddy, Yeah, something, 458 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: there's clearly a bear coming at you. I don't know about. 459 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: Something's wrong, So let's send you some adrenaline. We talked 460 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: at nauseum about fight or flight, and your body thinks 461 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: that's what's going on when you drink coffee so or 462 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: caffeine and so it says here you need this adrenaline because, 463 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: like you said, you got a bear come in your way. Uh, 464 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: and all the hallmarks of fight or flight kick in 465 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: which man, this used to be like our yeah, and 466 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: now it's just such an accepted part of everything. Do 467 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: we even need to say the things anymore? Go ahead, okay, 468 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: So your pupils dilate, You're breathing um becomes more rapid, 469 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: you get more breaths um. If you're eating something, you 470 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: stop digesting it because your stomach doesn't matter at that point. 471 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: It's right superfluous um. Your blood pressure rises, your liver 472 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: releases sugar in the bloodstream, so you can get some 473 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: extra energy. You're ready to get out. Basically, it's like 474 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: time for some action. Yeah, and that's why you drink 475 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: that cup of coffee. You might feel tense like you 476 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: in the car, yes, or agitated. Uh, it's because your 477 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: body thinks you're about to be in a big fight 478 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: with the car next to you, which ends up it's 479 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: this weird reverse cycle. It ends up causing that fight. Yeah, 480 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'm you'll also find if you drink a 481 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: lot of coffee like me, they're big not develops in 482 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: between your shoulder blades just just below your neck. Nice. Um, 483 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: it's just yet another result of your muscles tightening and 484 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: you being ready for action thanks to the fight or 485 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: flight syndrome. So your brain has been kept from getting drowsy. 486 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: It's been sent in to basically like a Lucy esque 487 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 1: assembly line of chocolates. Um, the the fight or flight 488 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: syndrome is kicked in that that describes like a significant 489 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 1: amount of the effects of coffee. But there's a big 490 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: one that's missing still that we haven't touched on, and 491 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: that is it's pleasurable effects. It makes you feel good, 492 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: because it's a stimulant and it's a drug, and just 493 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: like all the other illicit illegal drugs, this one is 494 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: just accepted. But it has the same effect. It's going 495 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: to release dopamine and that's the pleasure center activation center, right, 496 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: and it makes you want more of it and so 497 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: that dopamines flowing and your bodies like, man, this is great. Yeah, 498 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: So it doesn't actually it's like heroin and cocaine. It 499 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: doesn't actually make you overproduce dopamine, but it keeps dopamine 500 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: from being absorbed as quickly, so you get its effects 501 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: longer and more than you would if you weren't under 502 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: the influence of the drug, just like heroin, Just like cocaine. 503 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: Caffeine again, it uses the exact same mechanism. It's just 504 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: to a weaker degree, which is why, like again, people 505 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: aren't shooting caffeine and there's a bad idea this. Uh, 506 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: we should point out varies from person to person. Um 507 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: the effects of caffeine on the body because it um 508 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: metabolizes differently in everyone. So some people might be like 509 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: I don't get jittery at all, or I can go 510 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: right to sleep after coffee. Other people I'd like to 511 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: see those people on an espresso shot of robusta. Yeah, yeah, 512 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: I'll bet they wouldn't be singing the same song. Um. 513 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: Other folks. I used to wait tables, um, and I 514 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: would have people come in at like like lunch and 515 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: say like, no, no, no, I can't like their friend 516 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: get a cup of coffee. After they'd be like, no, no no, no, 517 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: I'll be up all night. Are you serious? What did 518 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: you say that? No? I was just always yeah, I 519 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: always think it was a little weird. But like I said, 520 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: it may keep them up all night. It's their own 521 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: jam because people know their bodies, So don't don't just 522 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: go with a decaf in that case. So we there 523 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: are plenty of um negative effects like keeping you up 524 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: all night, as well as positive effects with caffeine, and 525 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:49,959 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about those right after this. All right, 526 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: So you've got the one to three punch. Um, your 527 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: body is enjoying the caffeine. It's blocking that aDNA scene. 528 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna feel alert and awake. It's got that an 529 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: adrenaline going and it's rewarding you with the dopamine. So 530 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna make you want to drink coffee. But I 531 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: mentioned the vicious cycle. It is a bit because after 532 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: coffee comes the inevitable crash, like any stimulant drug, and 533 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: you want more of it um to get back up again. 534 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: So you're gonna have that fatigue and maybe even slightly 535 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: depressed feeling, and then you have a little bit more 536 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: of that caffeine and it's gonna get you going again. 537 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: And that's sort of the cycle that you find yourself in, 538 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: which will eventually, even though you might not think it is, 539 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna affect your sleep patterns. Yeah. That that that 540 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: cycle kind of continues on into the next day. Right, 541 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: So coffee has a half life of six hours. Caffeine Yeah, 542 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: I told you I. Um, caffeine is a half life 543 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: of six hours. Where if you drink a cup of 544 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: coffee that has two milligrams of caffeine UM at noon, 545 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: at six pm, you will still have a hundred milligrams 546 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: of affine in your system. So it's like um, at 547 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: six you drank a red bull in a quarter right then, right, 548 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: not exactly what you want, and then at midnight you 549 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: would have fifty milligrams left, which is like more than 550 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: a coke. That's like a mountain dews worth of caffeine 551 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: and you again not really what you want. So, as 552 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: the authors of this article, including you, point out, you 553 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: may fall asleep, but that caffeine stimulation is probably going 554 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 1: to keep you from getting deep sleep, and deep sleep 555 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: is what you really genuinely need. And I think after 556 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: researching this reading that sentence time because I think, like 557 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: I basically like that that that's how I live my 558 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: life is, Um, I don't sleep deeply. Even though I 559 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: sleep deeply, I don't think I get actual deep sleep, 560 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So then you wake up 561 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: craving the caffeine again exactly, and that's where that cycle 562 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: goes on and on, where you just it's really have 563 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 1: to quit it. Yeah, it's very interesting. Um, if you 564 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: are pregnant, Uh, there are some studies that suggest and 565 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: we should say there have been a lot of caffeine studies. Yeah, 566 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: this article says like nineteen thousands since the sixties. I'm 567 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: sure there's by now. Uh, And they are somewhat conflicting, 568 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: So we always are going to say, like this study suggests, 569 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: because they aren't hard and fast rules. But if you're pregnant, 570 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: some studies suggests that three milligrams are more per day 571 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: could lead to low birth weight and your little bb 572 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: uh kids. I read one article like five experts talk 573 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: about caffeine and children, and they all said that's not 574 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: great for kids. No kids drink coffee these days, yes, 575 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: but in the form of like those like coffee drinks 576 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: that are super sweet and creamy and everything, but they 577 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: drink like if walk around them all you'll you'll see 578 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: like eight year olds with like a coffee drink just 579 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 1: walking around like it's nothing. I went to the mall 580 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: the other day for the first time in probably five years. Yeah, 581 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: how was it? Was awful? Was it? And I hated 582 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: every minute of it? And I'm not going back. The 583 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: mall is another place that it's another thing that puts 584 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: that like not just too many people in one place. Yeah, 585 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: it's no good. And with the baby stroller, it was 586 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 1: just like I wanted to put a spoon in my ear. 587 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: Which mall I went to Perimeter, Um, I mean there 588 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: was a we got new pillows, So I was like 589 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: I had to go to the mall to get pillows, 590 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, because you gotta put your head on it, 591 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: even through the plastic. Yeah, no, I know, I've been 592 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: pillows shoving you know what I mean. New pillows are 593 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: great though, Oh yeah, if you get a good one. Yeah. 594 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: I've been on a bad run lately with pillows where 595 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: I've gotten, well, that's two. I got one, wasn't very 596 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: happy with it. The second one to replace it. Not 597 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: it's better, but it's still not quite happy with it. 598 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 1: Do you just use one pillow, one soft pillow? Yeah, 599 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,360 Speaker 1: anything else? I'm like, oh my neck, I gotta have 600 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: one under my head. I gotta have one behind my 601 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 1: head between my head and the headboard, and then one 602 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: tied to your faith now and then a clutch you know, 603 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: to hold on to, like to wrap up with. It's 604 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: the best. Yeah, that's three pillows. Yeah, you sleep with 605 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: three pillows Emily in Yeah, six total. Jerry tell us 606 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: him blinks, how many pillows you sleep with? Three? Three 607 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: as well? I think you're under pillowed. I guess so 608 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: I sleep with one third the pillows you do. Here's 609 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: a pillow tip though, if you're buying, just wait for 610 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: a Macy's one day sale. Oh yeah, because pillows are expensive. 611 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: Good ones are, yeah, very much. Get your hands on 612 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: a good pillow. Yeah, and Macy's does it twice a year. 613 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,239 Speaker 1: I think maybe Memorial Day and Labor Day or their 614 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,959 Speaker 1: pillows sale days. Well, they had one going on after 615 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: New Year's I am wrong. There, you have it all right. 616 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: So we were talking about sleep and the shopping mall 617 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 1: where kids were drinking coffee. It all comes together, it does, um. 618 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: But all five of the of the experts said your 619 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: kids shouldn't really be having too much or any caffeine. 620 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: And they didn't say like because of like the health effects, 621 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: uh like. On the basically, it was just like, just 622 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: like sugar, you don't want your kids, you know, heart 623 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: rate increased a lot and their blood pressure increased, and 624 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: it's just not gonna do yourself any favors as a 625 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: parent a caffeated child. But I genuinely believe that you 626 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 1: can go through experiences like that as a younger kid 627 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: and it'll make you a keyed up adult, a higher 628 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: strung adult. You think I do. I have come to 629 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: believe that experiences in childhood very prominently shape you're who 630 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: you are as an adult very much. So I've come 631 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: to I guess if you're thirteen and drink a lot 632 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: of coffee and you get anxious, you'd probably be an 633 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: anxious adult. I believe that probably keep drinking coffee, probably 634 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: to stave off the anxiety. When did you start drinking 635 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: coffee or did you always drink a lot of soda too? No, 636 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: I guess it was as a more of a grown 637 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: up for both. Really. Yeah, I drink a lot of 638 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: kool aid as a kid, and like the straight up 639 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: tons of sugar in the kool aid kool aid. Um. 640 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: But and I drank like some some we called it pop, 641 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: like fago and pepsi and stuff. But I mean, I 642 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: I think it was like as an older person twenties, 643 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,560 Speaker 1: I started drinking like coffee and earnest and cokes. That's 644 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: what it should be, I think. Sure. Um, I definitely 645 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: didn't drink coffee as a kid. No, that was gross. 646 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: Added to the taste of it was just really foul, 647 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: I thought. But I really learned to love the taste 648 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: of coffee, and I enjoy a nice hot cup of 649 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: coffee on a camping trip or a cold day. Um. 650 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: I just never took up the regular habit, and not 651 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: for any reason other than I just, I don't know, 652 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: just never grab me up. It wasn't like a stand though, 653 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: you know, like I'm not gonna start drinking caffeine, you know, 654 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: and everybody who drinks coffee can rot. No, because my 655 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: brother in law and my mother in law drink more 656 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: coffee than any humans alive, more than me, and they're 657 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: both wonderful. Yeah. They're like, let's brew a pot of coffee, 658 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,439 Speaker 1: not a cup of coffee. Yeah, and let's just drink 659 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: it until it's gone, then brew another pot. You know. Yeah, 660 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: but they get a lot done. Accomplished people. They sleep 661 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: several inches above the bed. One of them is a 662 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: general in the Marine Corps. That shows you where he is. Actually, 663 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,799 Speaker 1: that's my mother in law. All right. How about some 664 00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: health benefits, Uh, there are a lot, believe it or not. 665 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: They've done a lot of studies and they found everything 666 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: from helping out to not develop Parkinson's disease to dropping 667 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: your risk of various cancers um cirosis. How about this, 668 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: two cups a day, Supposedly we'll cause an eight drop 669 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,879 Speaker 1: in the odds of developing cirrhosis. That's amazing. Yeah, that's 670 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: I drink a little bit, So maybe I should drink coffee. 671 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,879 Speaker 1: I wonder if that has to do with them stimulating 672 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 1: the fight or flight syndrome where you, your liver releases 673 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: more sugar to give to give you more energy or 674 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,759 Speaker 1: something like that. Maybe. But what's weird then is so 675 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 1: that would be more sugar in the bloodstream. Right. Too 676 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: much sugar in the bloodstream can lead to diabetes. Right. Well, 677 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: coffee actually is shown to reduce your risk of diabetes. 678 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: There's this Harvard study UM that involved a hundred and 679 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: twenty six thousand people over eighteen years. They followed their coffee. 680 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: Is a good study. It's a great study unless they 681 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 1: fudge the results. But saying they didn't. What they found 682 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: was that people who drink one to three cups of 683 00:39:55,120 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: coffee a day are nine percent less likely to contract diabetes. Right, yeah, 684 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: you think it ends there. It does not. So people 685 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,839 Speaker 1: who drank six or more cups of coffee per day, 686 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,160 Speaker 1: if you were a man, your chances of contracting diabetes 687 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 1: were reduced by fifty four percent. That's substantial. And for 688 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: women who drank one six or more cups a day, 689 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: there are chances of contracting diabetes, were of developing diabetes reduction. 690 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,360 Speaker 1: I got another one four cups a day less chance 691 00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,920 Speaker 1: of mouth and throat cancer. Uh. And I don't know 692 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,919 Speaker 1: if it was this Harvard study or another one said 693 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 1: it could reduce suicide risk in adults. Even kind of 694 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: makes sense, I guess in one way, but which way, 695 00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I was thinking, I don't know. I 696 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,840 Speaker 1: take that back. Well, maybe you like run from self harm, 697 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: even maybe like you flee or fight, or if it 698 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: just you know, maybe it could battle your depressive systems 699 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,399 Speaker 1: by picking you up or something. I don't know. It's yeah, 700 00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: better explanation than mind mine was stupid. Uh. They's there's 701 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,360 Speaker 1: evidence that it prevents cavities actually, well yeah, which is 702 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,839 Speaker 1: kind of surprising because, um that is if you just 703 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 1: if you're doing a study on coffee, Um that's if 704 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 1: you don't put anything in your coffee, put cream and 705 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: sugar in, Yeah, you're going to get your cavities on. 706 00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: All right. You kind of do both, right, just depending 707 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,279 Speaker 1: on your mood. I typically go toward black, right, but 708 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 1: every now and then you throw a little vanilla creamer 709 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: in there every once a while. Yeah, um yeah, if 710 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: I want to treat, yeah, special treat. But kathein can 711 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: hurt your teeth in that it causes teeth clenching too well, 712 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,280 Speaker 1: which is one reason I'm losing teeth is I grind 713 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 1: my teeth at night, so maybe I shouldn't drink more coffee. 714 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,960 Speaker 1: It could be, yeah, but like you said, it giveth 715 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 1: and it take it the way do I want teeth 716 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 1: or do you want my liver to hang in there 717 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:56,480 Speaker 1: and no diabetes? Right? Good point Alzheimer's. The bird Alzheimer's 718 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: Institute in Tampa did some experimenting lab mice, injecting them 719 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 1: with caffeine like you said earlier, and not only did 720 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,959 Speaker 1: it protect them against developing Alzheimer's, but it helped reduce 721 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 1: symptoms if they already had it. They haven't tried it 722 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: on humans yet, but as it goes with mice, many 723 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 1: times it goes with humans. Yeah, hopefully, Yeah, we could 724 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,920 Speaker 1: all be injecting caffeine at some point. That to me 725 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: is also counterintuitive too, because Alzheimer's disease is potentially a 726 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 1: build up of plaques in your brain that's the result 727 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,280 Speaker 1: of not getting enough deep sleep. Because when you sleep, 728 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: your glial channels expand and your brain is bathed in cerebrals. 729 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,439 Speaker 1: Final fluid cleans out those plaques. Right, But it only 730 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 1: happens when you're sleeping very deeply. Um, But if you're 731 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: not getting very deep sleep with coffee or caffeine, then 732 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,839 Speaker 1: I would think you'd be there'd be a higher risk 733 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: of Alzheimer's. It's still fund it is, And I've also 734 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 1: found conflicting studies on memory. Johns Hopkins says that it's 735 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 1: a memory enhancer, but I've seen other studies that say 736 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: it's the memory d answer. Yeah, So again, it's like 737 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,760 Speaker 1: it's stuff to kind of get down to the brass tacks, 738 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: you know, when you have conflicting studies. Um, if you exercise, 739 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 1: coffee is your best friend, caffeine is. Yeah. I've heard 740 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 1: of like Olympic athletes that like we'll shoot espresso right 741 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: before a race. Yeah. Not only does it like give 742 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,840 Speaker 1: you a jolt of energy and everything, but apparently it 743 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 1: has um ergogenic properties, which means that it delays fatigue, right, 744 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: and it helps your muscles use glycogen their energy stores 745 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 1: more efficiently too, so it can help you run better. Interesting. Yeah, 746 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,960 Speaker 1: as far as cognitive abilities, um, the one study found 747 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: from Johns Hopkins Medical School said that while you think 748 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: it is increasing your cognitive abilities, what is really doing 749 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,280 Speaker 1: is just taking you back to normal for a short 750 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 1: period that is chilling. Yeah, and then when it wears off, 751 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 1: you're actually below man. Yeah, I don't know. I hate 752 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: to think that. I don't want to quit coffee though. 753 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: Quit smoking. Yeah, it lost weight. Yeah, keep your coffee. 754 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: That's another thing though I did during this break is 755 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,360 Speaker 1: put some of that back on. We'll drink coffee and 756 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,360 Speaker 1: go exercise, all right. Uh, if you want to know 757 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: more about caffeine, you can type that word into the 758 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 1: search bar how stuff works, and don't forget in this 759 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: case the egoes before the eye. Since I said search bar, 760 00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 1: it's time for listener mail. Uh. This is from Maddie 761 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: in Virginia.

However, events occurred in my life throughout 768 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,399 Speaker 1: the past few years that have made the much worse. 769 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 1: Got to the point last semester I'm not I was 770 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,480 Speaker 1: not able to go to class to homework or play 771 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 1: on my sports team.
