0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>have no idea what episodes we released. I've been so

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.080

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>my stupid front the toothnext to the one that came

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>out broke off at a Falcon's game. Oh well there

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>you go. God was cursing you for being at the falcons.

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>So I have another stupid flipper in another eight months

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 1>of eight months early, yeah, until I get the permanent implant.

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 1>So again I'll be out on the tour with no tooth.

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>You can't even see it, like you have to literally

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>like your lips back to your gums. Or if I

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>laugh a lot, which I'm trying to just lead a

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>more somber life. Well I plan on making you laugh

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot on stage so people might see it. Then

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>what else? Have you got a dog? Yeah? We got

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>a puppy named Momo. You wanna talk about Momo? Momo

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is very sweet. She's a sweet little zoo poodle next year.

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>How's that going. She's a little fluff ballt very good. Yes, good?

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Right off the bat we um we create trained her

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and at first I was like chrits or mean, put

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>a dog and create, And then I started to read

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>up on it, like yes, it's like her den. It's

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>her little room like her bedroom. In fact, when we

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>took away the crate from our youngest dog, Charlie because

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>of we needed a breakfast nook. Um. She was kind

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of like, dude, he took my room away. That was

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>my room. Yeah. We plan to keep her crate around,

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>like as long as she wants it, but just she

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>won't be penned in it against her will at certain

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>times until until she's house broken, which I mean she's

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>basically there. It's just we're we're like, what are you doing,

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>You're about to pee? You know. Um, she doesn't actually

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>have accidents in the house. We're just you know, staying

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>on top of that. It's great. What else happened? Uh?

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>We had holidays, yes, good Christmas. In the New Year's

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess Humi's birthday. Oh yeah, the birthday. Um, and

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>it was just a nice time off. Like I had

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>this big to do list and uh none of it

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>got done because I was raising replace that. Yeah, how's

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>your kid? Uh, Ruby's great man. And I did the

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>same thing. I had a big to do list and

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I found myself just kind of be like, oh, could

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>you do this? Or I could just like play with

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>my kid, right, or watch Making a Murderer? Yeah, I

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>did watch all that. Stay here and like a day

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about that. We probably shouldn't talk about it.

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>People wanted to do a podcast on that. I don't

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:35.840
<v Speaker 1>like a follow up. Maybe it's not as bad as

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the request to do a podcast on the h the

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>case that Sereal covered, like I think Cereal cover. No,

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>of course not. I could maybe do a follow up

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>on making a murder. I think we should revisit Um

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Exonerations and the Innocence Project again because when we did

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 1>that one, we had no idea what was going on,

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and now it's really like it's really coming through true.

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.280
<v Speaker 1>So yes, let's do that. I've been playing a lot

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>of uh I got a p S four. Oh yeah,

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I've been playing Fallout for with the Dog and the Dogs. Well,

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 1>you can't have a dog companion, so of course I

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>chose it. But it's really awful because the dog gets

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 1>hurt a lot and like struggles around, whimpering and out

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>of its misery. Well, no, you can heal the dog.

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 1>But I went to message boards and everyone's like, don't

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>heal your dog, Like, just trust me, it'll heal itself.

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't waste your medicine. Okay, yeah, I'm sure you waste

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>your medicine every time, don't you. Well, yeah, it's tough

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>to do. Yeah, and it's like, oh, okay, don't mind me.

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Dog meat and that's his name. So that's a that

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>was a big time off. Just it was and that's

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 1>all that happened. Jerry, How about you? That was great, Jerry.

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you had a nice time as well. Jerry

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>also had a nice break with her little baby in

0:05:57.560 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>these through a series of blinks she did that we've

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 1>worked out over the year. Nice job, all right, So

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>sorry about the long injury, but I felt like we

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>needed to catch everyone up, even though you didn't know

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that you needed it right, And maybe has something to

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.720
<v Speaker 1>do with caffeine because we did such a good job

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>when we recorded those ones that were released over the

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.719
<v Speaker 1>break of predicting things we would be talking about the time,

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>who could tell exactly. So I'm a little caffeinated right now,

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not. What a shock. Um. I don't

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.640
<v Speaker 1>drink nearly as much as coffee as I used to.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>It's because I really realized, like it really does have

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 1>a detrimental effect on like my mood. Stay in the

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.279
<v Speaker 1>car cars are really good example of me and caffeine.

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:41.840
<v Speaker 1>You're a little ramped up in the car anyway, so

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that probably and help. Right. Well, I'm working on that,

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>but part of working on that is just, you know,

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>not drinking as much coffee. Yeah. I think a good

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>title for this could be mixed messages because in studying caffeine,

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and we did one on coffee, we dabbled in this

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, but um, all research is, you know, caffeine,

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it can be really good for you and help a

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of things, and caffeine can be kind of bad

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>for you, and it's kind of both or can be both.

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>It sure, things like that unless we have like a

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>completely misunderstood UM model of addiction and um the parasympathetic

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.679
<v Speaker 1>or sympathetic nervous system. Unless we don't know those things,

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 1>then yeah, coffee is both for sure. The weird thing is,

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>like everybody realizes that coffee, I'm sorry, caffeine. I think

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably gonna do that a lot this episode because

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>they are virtually interchangeable. But it's not really but caffeine, um,

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 1>it is. It has a lot of really bad effects

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>on you, and a lot of people know that just

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.679
<v Speaker 1>from having experienced it. It's the it's the beneficial effects

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 1>that are so surprising. They do seem to like you say, agreed,

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 1>So Chuck, I drink today. I've had five cups of

0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>coffee and mountain diet mountain dew. And it is one

0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>forty in the afternoon. What time did you get up? Seven? Yes,

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm counting on my fingers. Six and a half hour.

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>You six and a half hours. You've had five cups

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>of coffee in a mountain dew. The met's cutting back, yes,

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>oh man, Yeah, and it's cutting back because I like

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon. I won't keep going. Oh so you stop?

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>This is this will be my last probably really for

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the day. Yeah, okay, And I'm actually I'm above average

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>for the United States. And I could have guessed that,

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 1>but the average for the United States is actually on

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the worse end of the spectrum as far as like

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>caffeine consumption goes. Yeah. The latest information I got this

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>that the US was sixteenth in the world in per

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 1>capita consumption, not even or nine or any anywhere above ten.

0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 1>If you want to know who leads the world right out,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the Netherlands, is what I found. I

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>found Finland from that was the most recent I saw. Well,

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the most recent I saw said the Netherlands at two

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.839
<v Speaker 1>point four, with Finland at one point eight. But that

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>is not what I saw. Yeah, where were the Netherlands

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>on your list? I don't remember. I just saw the

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Finland was number one at like two point four and

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>um like nine point six kilograms of coffee beans per

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>person per year consumed. Well, I bet the top ten

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>is kind of interchangeable and fairly static, though, as in

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the Samish countries in different orders. Yeah, because I mean

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>coffee consumption patterns. I guess they could change fairly rapidly,

0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:45.839
<v Speaker 1>but they don't change in the blink of an eye.

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll think about how much Starbucks change coffee consumption in

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>this country, didn't ramp it up? Oh yeah, Like think

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>about how many people now swing by Starbucks are like

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>three pm, whereas before they may not even have drank coffee,

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean Charbucks. Yeah, actually have no skin in the

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 1>game Starbucks. Yeah, I don't really well, you know, I

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 1>mean I don't drink caffeine that much. I know, very mellow. Yeah,

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm starting to think I should drink

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>more coffee though, because of the health benefits. Oh yeah,

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 1>you know. Um, we'll see, we'll get into all that.

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.720
<v Speaker 1>But in the top ten you have Netherlands, Finland, Sweden,

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>in Mark, Germany, scandin Maybia loves her coffee, apparently, Slovakia, Serbia,

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>Czech Republic, Poland, Norway than eventually the US cold countries.

0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.079
<v Speaker 1>It's not bad, although Brazil loves its coffee as well.

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I think they're like number ten or eleven or something

0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>like that. Good coffee. I didn't see they weren't even

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>in my top sixteen. So we had different lists made

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>by two different caffeinated weirdos. Uh so, the us UM,

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.480
<v Speaker 1>the FDA, and the A m A. Right now, I

0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.800
<v Speaker 1>think they raised it to four hundred milligerms a day

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>from three hundred, just in that pace of changing coffee consumption. Yeah,

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's now to four hundred milligrams a day,

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>as they said, should be like the upper limit of

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:10.839
<v Speaker 1>what you should drink and what is cool to drink

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>for your health, right, not by being cool. You could

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>drink a hundred cups to day and you'd be super cool.

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 1>That's why I drink coffee so much. And so so

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>what is that four d milligrams a day? That's about

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>two eight ounce cups of coffee. Yes, like high high coffee. Um,

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, it's no more than maybe three. Well, and

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that's caffeine though that's not coffee, So you might also

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>be drinking sodas, or eating chocolate or eating on a

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 1>cocoa nib that's packed with caffeine. Yeah. Yeah, it does

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.839
<v Speaker 1>show up in all sorts of surprising places, um, including

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I looked this up decaff coffee as well. We should say, yeah,

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it's still got some caffeine in there, right, Yeah, So

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:06.520
<v Speaker 1>like a cup of coffee, eight ounces of coffee can

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 1>have anywhere from like seventy five to two milligrams of

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.719
<v Speaker 1>caffeine in it. Decaf coffee still might have like twenty milligrams.

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>And I mean it doesn't sound like much, but if

0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you're pounding decaf coffee because you love coffee but you're

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to cut back on caffeine, stuff can adda interesting. Yeah.

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>I knew there was some caffeine, but maybe that's not

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Is that negligible? I it's twenty itself. Just if you

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 1>drank one decaffe eate a couple of coffee a day, Yes,

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:38.439
<v Speaker 1>I think on the overall effects of your health that

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 1>would be negligible, but both ways because again the coffee

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.640
<v Speaker 1>giveth and the coffee take it the way the double

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 1>edged drug. Yeah, and it is. It is a drug.

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>And it is also in t which we'll get to

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.439
<v Speaker 1>as well. Um, but yeah, it's a drug. It's it

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>naturally occurs like many drugs. But it is a stimulant

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>called trimethyls anthine. Chemical formulas C H uh C eight

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>H one zero in for O two not zero two.

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a ten in there. What did I say?

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>One zero? Which you know if you're on a CB

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>or something, they get the point. Oh man, this is

0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>close to CB chatter as as you can come. Um,

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I quick segue here. I used to love talking on

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the CB because my dad had one in his jeep.

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>And remember when CB culture was huge in the seventies.

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>My buddy John Pendell now is a trucker. You met

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>John where in at our New York shows, Tall Johnny Pendell. Uh,

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.559
<v Speaker 1>he's a trucker now and I got to hang out

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and get in his truck. Uh. And he does not

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>use a CB, and he said that he might get one,

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:57.719
<v Speaker 1>but it's not like the standard thing anymore. Texting and

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 1>cell phones I mean he's said, if you really want

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of that big trucker culture, you

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 1>can do the c B Still, well, you can just

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>be a lone wolf. He's a lone wolf right now.

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>He is. He needs one of those um jackets like

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Lenny and Squeaky used to wear. Yeah, it was fascinating

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.079
<v Speaker 1>that we need to do an episode on trucking, because

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 1>when I saw him, all I did was ask questions. Basically, Yeah,

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>it's fascinating. Does he have his own rig? No, he doesn't. Okay, anyway, well,

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>hey to Johnny and he listens to the podcast now,

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 1>So hey Johnny, because you don't need to see if

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:34.640
<v Speaker 1>you listen to stuff, you should know we are your company,

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 1>all right. So anyway, caffeine, he does drink a lot

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>of caffeine. I think that's where I was going that. Yeah,

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 1>but that that really had nothing to do with it.

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I brought up sebs because he said, H one zero,

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>why don't we take a break and get our sea

0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 1>legs back? Are pe legs are a little rusty? And

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 1>um P is in podcast? Not you're in I thought you, Oh, hey,

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you some thing about this break. I learned

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 1>that there's something called mixturition syncope, and mixturition is a

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of people think it means two P. No urination

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 1>is two P. Mixturition is the urge to pe. Syncope

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>is a fainting spell. So there's a condition out there

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>called mixturition syncope where people faint after they pee. There's

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 1>also one called defication syncope, where people faint after they

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 1>poop if they have no idea. I think Elvis had

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 1>the most severe case of that. All right, well, don't

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 1>let that happen to you during this break, and we

0:15:38.360 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>will be back right after this. Have we got it together?

0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 1>That was like half a second. Are we good? Yeah?

0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess though. All right, we're gonna give it another step.

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>So caffeine, I think that's what we're talking about. It's

0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a drug, and in its pure form, chuck is a bitter,

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 1>bitter tasting crystalline powder. It's actually very closely related at

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 1>least in its effects to um opoi opioid antagonists like heroin, cocaine, caffeine. Yeah,

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.880
<v Speaker 1>um and I will talk a little more about the brain,

0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the effects on the brain, but it is um It

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>does have these effects, and it does basically this it

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>uses the same mechanism as these drugs, and therefore it

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>can cause addictions just like these drugs as well. Yeah,

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and um, Like I said, it occurs naturally. It's in

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the coffee bean and in chocolate and t um, but

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 1>it's also added artificially and things like soda. UM and

0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I looked up the sodas to get the most recent

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>um amount. And Pepsi one right now, I think as

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the most caffeine. Man, do you remember jolt and I

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.879
<v Speaker 1>used to drink a ton of ault. I'm sure you did. Well.

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 1>I would drink one right before the podcast, remember, and

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I'd just be like talking a thousand miles an hour

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the good old days. Because I've settled down quite a bit,

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 1>you have, I'm happier for it. Pepsi one at fifty

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.880
<v Speaker 1>seven milligrams, tab is number two at forty eight, diet

0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.119
<v Speaker 1>coca forty six. You will work your way down to

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 1>regular role Coca cola at thirty three milligrams per twelve

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:35.640
<v Speaker 1>ounce can um and the FDA regulates how much caffeine

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.640
<v Speaker 1>you can put in a soda. A soda A soda.

0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>That's the key, that's right. If you were an energy

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:44.400
<v Speaker 1>drink um like Red Bull or any of those other

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.680
<v Speaker 1>gross tasting things. I don't like them personally, but people

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>love them. I just don't like the taste. But um,

0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>that's the work around for the FDA. Because they're not

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:58.119
<v Speaker 1>considered SODA's. They can put lots of caffeine and sugar

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to the tune of about eight milligrams per um eight

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.360
<v Speaker 1>point three ounces, which you're like the case of Red Bull,

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.360
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot of caffeine. It does seem like a lot,

0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.439
<v Speaker 1>but some people love to take it even further. And

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>there's like those five hour energy shots. Oh yeah, I

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>have had those before. Those are two I have not

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:18.800
<v Speaker 1>tried it before. I don't know why. I think I

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.080
<v Speaker 1>was doing construction work and I was really tired, and

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.119
<v Speaker 1>I was at the big box store and it was

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:25.640
<v Speaker 1>right there to checkout. I was like, let me try

0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:28.480
<v Speaker 1>this thing, yeah, and it it ramped me up. I

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 1>felt like a speedhead. So in the in that little

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:36.359
<v Speaker 1>two ounce shot, there's two milligrams of of caffeine, the

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.560
<v Speaker 1>one like a high end amount in a coffee in

0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that little two ounce shot. Okay, And I think those

0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.879
<v Speaker 1>are the like coffee has the most of any beverage.

0:18:47.119 --> 0:18:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I think espresso ounce for ounce has the most well,

0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean from the coffee being at least espresso bean,

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 1>not like an artificial drink, is what I meant. We

0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 1>got an espresso maker and has pronounced effects. It's crazy

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.119
<v Speaker 1>how different it is from coffee. Yeah. I like an

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.359
<v Speaker 1>espresso every now and then, and I like my coffee

0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>right now and then, but just every now and then.

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 1>If you want the health benefits though, and you're like,

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:14.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't drink that much coffee, you should just be

0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:19.080
<v Speaker 1>injecting pure caffeine chunk. Can you do that? They do

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 1>it to mice. Yeah, that's a good point, as we'll

0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:27.320
<v Speaker 1>see you later on. Um true, I should probably again,

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 1>it's been several weeks since we've done this. I need

0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>to probably throw out a disclaimer there. That was a joke, right,

0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>don't inject caffeine. And you know, if you can even

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 1>get your hands on pure caffeine, do not inject it.

0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:42.080
<v Speaker 1>You probably shouldn't inject anything, let alone the pure form

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of anything, because even too much water can kill you.

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Always remember that everybody, Even too much water can kill you.

0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>And I did look into caffeine overdoses because I was curious,

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't happen much because you'd have to drink

0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 1>so much of something that it makes it unlikely. But

0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:02.679
<v Speaker 1>there have been overdose is blamed on caffeine pills, like okay,

0:20:02.720 --> 0:20:06.480
<v Speaker 1>what's the milligram amount, what's the dosage amount? That I

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.919
<v Speaker 1>can't remember. This one kid died in Connecticut, like a

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>nineteen year old that I think he had like a

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.320
<v Speaker 1>dozen or two dozen caffeine pills. Um. And it's the

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the deal with caffeine pills. It's concentrated and

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>it hits you all at once, So taking a lot

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 1>of it is just like overdosing on any kind of stimulant.

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a stimulant. Yeah, that's some weird stuff

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to you in killing you. And like you said, Schucker's Um.

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.840
<v Speaker 1>We already talked about coffee in the coffee episode, right,

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's just some of it bears repeating, like um,

0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:42.920
<v Speaker 1>the lighter the roast, the higher the caffeine content, typically

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>because the roasting process actually bakes out a lot of

0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the caffeine. I thought you were gonna make up a

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.399
<v Speaker 1>clever rhyme like the light of the roast, the darker

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the toast or something No, that's that doesn't make any sense.

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>The rhymes got it at least makes sense or else

0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 1>it's just rhyming words about how about the lighter the

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:07.560
<v Speaker 1>roast more caffeine than most About that that actually makes sense?

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 1>And so if you want to extract the most caffeine

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 1>out of your diet. Actually came across a website called

0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Bulletproof Exact. You know that bulletproof coffee thing where you

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:23.160
<v Speaker 1>put like butter in your coffee. It's like a diet thing. Um,

0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I think aids and pooping and butter in your coffee. Yeah,

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>butter in your coffee called bulletproof. It's actually not bad.

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>If you like that, though, take it one step further

0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and use um coconut oil. That's even better because's got

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.159
<v Speaker 1>a little it's like an almond joy creamer, but like

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 1>an oily version of it. Anyway, this Bulletproof Exact, they

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.119
<v Speaker 1>had a post about maximizing your caffeine intake so you

0:21:47.119 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 1>can suck to your underlings throughout the day or whatever

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.480
<v Speaker 1>most efficiently. Right and um, one of the things that

0:21:54.520 --> 0:21:57.960
<v Speaker 1>they said is that grapefruit you should eat more grapefruit

0:21:58.000 --> 0:22:03.400
<v Speaker 1>because grapefruit contains something called um narragant or narrow gin um.

0:22:03.440 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 1>And it actually slows the removal of caffeine from your brain,

0:22:08.359 --> 0:22:12.439
<v Speaker 1>so you enjoy its effects longer. Yeah. So a morning

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.880
<v Speaker 1>breakfast in the nineteen fifties of coffee and the grape

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 1>half a grapefruit, that's all you needed. And then your

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:22.960
<v Speaker 1>noon cocaine bump just to keep you going, just drinking

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>coca cola exactly. And um, if you also, if you

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.920
<v Speaker 1>want to maximize your caffeine and take from coffee, you

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>should look at the beans you're drinking. So Arabica, which

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 1>is I think the most prevalent coffee um has it's

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:39.920
<v Speaker 1>one point five percent caffeine, but robusta two point four

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 1>That is robust as far as I know, that's the

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:46.199
<v Speaker 1>highest caffeine content naturally of any coffee bean. So a

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>light roast robusta is gonna basically with your grapefruit. Yeah

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you it will be like getting kicked in the chest

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 1>by a mule. Wow. And it doesn't that sound appealing.

0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 1>That's what every bulletproof exact want shows you how to

0:22:59.880 --> 0:23:04.159
<v Speaker 1>be more efficient, robber baron. So let's get down to

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 1>this man. Uh, how how does caffeine actually affect your brain,

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:11.879
<v Speaker 1>because it does affect your brain. The whole point behind

0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:14.560
<v Speaker 1>taking coffee and stuff like that is as the guy

0:23:14.560 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>who wrote this article, oh, the three guys who wrote

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>this article, including you, Yeah, on this I forgot. Um

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:25.119
<v Speaker 1>it's it's using caffeine. It's a form of self medication.

0:23:25.720 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Of course. That's why most people drink it, I think,

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 1>to get that boost in the morning, um or in

0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the middle of afternoon. Yeah, and I'm sure people love

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the taste and stuff. It's not like they're holding their

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 1>nose and forcing this drink down their throat. Well that's

0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.360
<v Speaker 1>what like five hour energes for. No, don't taste very good,

0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>do they not. I've never tasted one. I've always wondered,

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 1>but I've never wanted to experience its effects so badly

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that I tasted it. I mean, you know, it's like, uh,

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 1>just that synthetic fruit taste. Does it taste like medicinal

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:57.720
<v Speaker 1>at all? Yeah? It just taste. Yeah, this is not

0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:00.840
<v Speaker 1>good in my opinion. Well, it's as two ounces. You

0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:03.640
<v Speaker 1>get it over with real quick, it down and like

0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:08.159
<v Speaker 1>you're done, punch a wall. Uh So how does it

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:11.360
<v Speaker 1>work on the brain? It tricks your brain actually by

0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>mimicking something called ADENA scene. UM, and it's it's kind

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 1>of remarkable actually because what it does is it mimics

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 1>a DNA scene and then does the opposite of what

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:26.360
<v Speaker 1>a DNA scene does, which is to try and help

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you sleep. It's pretty cool. Yeah, so you know you

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 1>have a sleep wake cycle, right, part of the sleep

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.959
<v Speaker 1>cycle is a DNA scene UM latching onto the adenacene

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 1>receptors on your neurons. And yeah, it does make you

0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:43.920
<v Speaker 1>sleepy because it slows the the function of your neurons down.

0:24:44.280 --> 0:24:46.320
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a big buzz kill. Basically, it's a

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 1>drag aDNA scene is well, it's great, it is, Yeah,

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it helps make you sleepy. And what caffeine

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 1>does is it gets in there to the same receptor.

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:59.000
<v Speaker 1>It binds to the same receptor as a DNA scene. UM.

0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:02.159
<v Speaker 1>It was because you're brain thinks it's a DNA scene.

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:05.040
<v Speaker 1>It puts on it's a DNA sing costume pretty much,

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>which consists of like a sparkly one piece jumpsuit. It's

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a onesie um. And it not only doesn't slow your

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:17.640
<v Speaker 1>neurons down and apparently speeds them up. Yes, so your

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.960
<v Speaker 1>brain starts going hey wire. That's part one of what

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>caffeine does your brain. It not only doesn't slow your

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.919
<v Speaker 1>brain down, it prevents the thing that does slow your

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 1>brain down from slowing your brain down, and it actually

0:25:30.080 --> 0:25:32.919
<v Speaker 1>speeds your brain up wire. And not only that, but

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>a DNA scene UM usually will not usually a DNA

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 1>scene always causes your blood vessels to dilate, and caffeine

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:43.879
<v Speaker 1>causes them to constrict, which sounds bad, but one of

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the pluses, and we'll get into the benefits, but one

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:50.360
<v Speaker 1>of them is um constricting. It can it maybe help

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you avoid headaches and migraines. And that's why caffeine is

0:25:54.520 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 1>in things like Annison or my my old reliable BC

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:04.120
<v Speaker 1>or Goodies headache powders that I use contain caffeine. Yeah,

0:26:04.320 --> 0:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that's my secret hangover helper BC powder PC or Goodies.

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>It acts fast. They work really well too, both together. Yeah. Yeah,

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:19.480
<v Speaker 1>So caffeine is a vaso constrictor right, that's right. It

0:26:20.440 --> 0:26:23.120
<v Speaker 1>constricts your blood vessels, and like you said, that can

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 1>actually help your headaches because a lot of headaches vascular headaches,

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess, is what they're called, or when your blood

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:32.520
<v Speaker 1>vessels are too big, and the change and pressure in

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>your brain gives you this horrible headache. Right, So while

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 1>this is happening, your body thinks these neurons are firing.

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Your pituitary gland says you must be in trouble because

0:26:43.160 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 1>you're supposed to be going to sleep. Buddy, Yeah, something,

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:47.880
<v Speaker 1>there's clearly a bear coming at you. I don't know about.

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Something's wrong, So let's send you some adrenaline. We talked

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>at nauseum about fight or flight, and your body thinks

0:26:54.760 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what's going on when you drink coffee so or

0:26:57.119 --> 0:27:01.359
<v Speaker 1>caffeine and so it says here you need this adrenaline because,

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:04.400
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you got a bear come in your way. Uh,

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and all the hallmarks of fight or flight kick in

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:11.520
<v Speaker 1>which man, this used to be like our yeah, and

0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:14.840
<v Speaker 1>now it's just such an accepted part of everything. Do

0:27:14.880 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 1>we even need to say the things anymore? Go ahead, okay,

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:22.439
<v Speaker 1>So your pupils dilate, You're breathing um becomes more rapid,

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:26.199
<v Speaker 1>you get more breaths um. If you're eating something, you

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:30.159
<v Speaker 1>stop digesting it because your stomach doesn't matter at that point.

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 1>It's right superfluous um. Your blood pressure rises, your liver

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 1>releases sugar in the bloodstream, so you can get some

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:40.959
<v Speaker 1>extra energy. You're ready to get out. Basically, it's like

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:43.520
<v Speaker 1>time for some action. Yeah, and that's why you drink

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that cup of coffee. You might feel tense like you

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>in the car, yes, or agitated. Uh, it's because your

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 1>body thinks you're about to be in a big fight

0:27:53.800 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 1>with the car next to you, which ends up it's

0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 1>this weird reverse cycle. It ends up causing that fight. Yeah,

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm you'll also find if you drink a

0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of coffee like me, they're big not develops in

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>between your shoulder blades just just below your neck. Nice. Um,

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.159
<v Speaker 1>it's just yet another result of your muscles tightening and

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you being ready for action thanks to the fight or

0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 1>flight syndrome. So your brain has been kept from getting drowsy.

0:28:21.359 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 1>It's been sent in to basically like a Lucy esque

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 1>assembly line of chocolates. Um, the the fight or flight

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:32.920
<v Speaker 1>syndrome is kicked in that that describes like a significant

0:28:32.960 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 1>amount of the effects of coffee. But there's a big

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:37.760
<v Speaker 1>one that's missing still that we haven't touched on, and

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>that is it's pleasurable effects. It makes you feel good,

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 1>because it's a stimulant and it's a drug, and just

0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:47.200
<v Speaker 1>like all the other illicit illegal drugs, this one is

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.480
<v Speaker 1>just accepted. But it has the same effect. It's going

0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to release dopamine and that's the pleasure center activation center, right,

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and it makes you want more of it and so

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 1>that dopamines flowing and your bodies like, man, this is great. Yeah,

0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 1>So it doesn't actually it's like heroin and cocaine. It

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>doesn't actually make you overproduce dopamine, but it keeps dopamine

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 1>from being absorbed as quickly, so you get its effects

0:29:12.560 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 1>longer and more than you would if you weren't under

0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the influence of the drug, just like heroin, Just like cocaine.

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Caffeine again, it uses the exact same mechanism. It's just

0:29:21.920 --> 0:29:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to a weaker degree, which is why, like again, people

0:29:25.040 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>aren't shooting caffeine and there's a bad idea this. Uh,

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:33.160
<v Speaker 1>we should point out varies from person to person. Um

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 1>the effects of caffeine on the body because it um

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>metabolizes differently in everyone. So some people might be like

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't get jittery at all, or I can go

0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 1>right to sleep after coffee. Other people I'd like to

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 1>see those people on an espresso shot of robusta. Yeah, yeah,

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll bet they wouldn't be singing the same song. Um.

0:29:50.520 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Other folks. I used to wait tables, um, and I

0:29:53.480 --> 0:29:57.600
<v Speaker 1>would have people come in at like like lunch and

0:29:57.640 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 1>say like, no, no, no, I can't like their friend

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 1>get a cup of coffee. After they'd be like, no, no no, no,

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I'll be up all night. Are you serious? What did

0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>you say that? No? I was just always yeah, I

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>always think it was a little weird. But like I said,

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>it may keep them up all night. It's their own

0:30:14.240 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 1>jam because people know their bodies, So don't don't just

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 1>go with a decaf in that case. So we there

0:30:20.200 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 1>are plenty of um negative effects like keeping you up

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 1>all night, as well as positive effects with caffeine, and

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:49.959
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about those right after this. All right,

0:30:50.040 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 1>So you've got the one to three punch. Um, your

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 1>body is enjoying the caffeine. It's blocking that aDNA scene.

0:30:57.960 --> 0:31:01.240
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna feel alert and awake. It's got that an

0:31:01.280 --> 0:31:05.560
<v Speaker 1>adrenaline going and it's rewarding you with the dopamine. So

0:31:05.600 --> 0:31:08.440
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna make you want to drink coffee. But I

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 1>mentioned the vicious cycle. It is a bit because after

0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 1>coffee comes the inevitable crash, like any stimulant drug, and

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you want more of it um to get back up again.

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna have that fatigue and maybe even slightly

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 1>depressed feeling, and then you have a little bit more

0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:28.120
<v Speaker 1>of that caffeine and it's gonna get you going again.

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 1>And that's sort of the cycle that you find yourself in,

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 1>which will eventually, even though you might not think it is,

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna affect your sleep patterns. Yeah. That that that

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 1>cycle kind of continues on into the next day. Right,

0:31:40.360 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 1>So coffee has a half life of six hours. Caffeine Yeah,

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I told you I. Um, caffeine is a half life

0:31:49.120 --> 0:31:51.920
<v Speaker 1>of six hours. Where if you drink a cup of

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:56.720
<v Speaker 1>coffee that has two milligrams of caffeine UM at noon,

0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 1>at six pm, you will still have a hundred milligrams

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>of affine in your system. So it's like um, at

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 1>six you drank a red bull in a quarter right then, right,

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:13.400
<v Speaker 1>not exactly what you want, and then at midnight you

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 1>would have fifty milligrams left, which is like more than

0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a coke. That's like a mountain dews worth of caffeine

0:32:20.440 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>and you again not really what you want. So, as

0:32:23.280 --> 0:32:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the authors of this article, including you, point out, you

0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 1>may fall asleep, but that caffeine stimulation is probably going

0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to keep you from getting deep sleep, and deep sleep

0:32:33.880 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 1>is what you really genuinely need. And I think after

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>researching this reading that sentence time because I think, like

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I basically like that that that's how I live my

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:49.440
<v Speaker 1>life is, Um, I don't sleep deeply. Even though I

0:32:49.480 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 1>sleep deeply, I don't think I get actual deep sleep,

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So then you wake up

0:32:54.640 --> 0:32:57.680
<v Speaker 1>craving the caffeine again exactly, and that's where that cycle

0:32:57.760 --> 0:33:00.080
<v Speaker 1>goes on and on, where you just it's really have

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:04.240
<v Speaker 1>to quit it. Yeah, it's very interesting. Um, if you

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>are pregnant, Uh, there are some studies that suggest and

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 1>we should say there have been a lot of caffeine studies. Yeah,

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 1>this article says like nineteen thousands since the sixties. I'm

0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:22.080
<v Speaker 1>sure there's by now. Uh, And they are somewhat conflicting,

0:33:22.120 --> 0:33:25.440
<v Speaker 1>So we always are going to say, like this study suggests,

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:28.560
<v Speaker 1>because they aren't hard and fast rules. But if you're pregnant,

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 1>some studies suggests that three milligrams are more per day

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>could lead to low birth weight and your little bb

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:40.440
<v Speaker 1>uh kids. I read one article like five experts talk

0:33:40.480 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 1>about caffeine and children, and they all said that's not

0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 1>great for kids. No kids drink coffee these days, yes,

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 1>but in the form of like those like coffee drinks

0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 1>that are super sweet and creamy and everything, but they

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 1>drink like if walk around them all you'll you'll see

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>like eight year olds with like a coffee drink just

0:33:57.760 --> 0:33:59.959
<v Speaker 1>walking around like it's nothing. I went to the mall

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the other day for the first time in probably five years. Yeah,

0:34:02.320 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>how was it? Was awful? Was it? And I hated

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 1>every minute of it? And I'm not going back. The

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:09.240
<v Speaker 1>mall is another place that it's another thing that puts

0:34:09.280 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>that like not just too many people in one place. Yeah,

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 1>it's no good. And with the baby stroller, it was

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>just like I wanted to put a spoon in my ear.

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Which mall I went to Perimeter, Um, I mean there

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 1>was a we got new pillows, So I was like

0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:29.080
<v Speaker 1>I had to go to the mall to get pillows,

0:34:29.560 --> 0:34:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you gotta put your head on it,

0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:34.839
<v Speaker 1>even through the plastic. Yeah, no, I know, I've been

0:34:34.880 --> 0:34:37.759
<v Speaker 1>pillows shoving you know what I mean. New pillows are

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 1>great though, Oh yeah, if you get a good one. Yeah.

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 1>I've been on a bad run lately with pillows where

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I've gotten, well, that's two. I got one, wasn't very

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 1>happy with it. The second one to replace it. Not

0:34:49.440 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>it's better, but it's still not quite happy with it.

0:34:52.239 --> 0:34:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you just use one pillow, one soft pillow? Yeah,

0:34:57.080 --> 0:34:59.360
<v Speaker 1>anything else? I'm like, oh my neck, I gotta have

0:34:59.400 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 1>one under my head. I gotta have one behind my

0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:04.799
<v Speaker 1>head between my head and the headboard, and then one

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:08.000
<v Speaker 1>tied to your faith now and then a clutch you know,

0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:12.279
<v Speaker 1>to hold on to, like to wrap up with. It's

0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:17.680
<v Speaker 1>the best. Yeah, that's three pillows. Yeah, you sleep with

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:22.160
<v Speaker 1>three pillows Emily in Yeah, six total. Jerry tell us

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>him blinks, how many pillows you sleep with? Three? Three

0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:28.759
<v Speaker 1>as well? I think you're under pillowed. I guess so

0:35:29.280 --> 0:35:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I sleep with one third the pillows you do. Here's

0:35:32.000 --> 0:35:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a pillow tip though, if you're buying, just wait for

0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:38.120
<v Speaker 1>a Macy's one day sale. Oh yeah, because pillows are expensive.

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:42.319
<v Speaker 1>Good ones are, yeah, very much. Get your hands on

0:35:42.360 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a good pillow. Yeah, and Macy's does it twice a year.

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe Memorial Day and Labor Day or their

0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:50.959
<v Speaker 1>pillows sale days. Well, they had one going on after

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 1>New Year's I am wrong. There, you have it all right.

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.520
<v Speaker 1>So we were talking about sleep and the shopping mall

0:35:58.000 --> 0:36:01.879
<v Speaker 1>where kids were drinking coffee. It all comes together, it does, um.

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:04.359
<v Speaker 1>But all five of the of the experts said your

0:36:04.400 --> 0:36:07.440
<v Speaker 1>kids shouldn't really be having too much or any caffeine.

0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:11.839
<v Speaker 1>And they didn't say like because of like the health effects,

0:36:11.960 --> 0:36:15.719
<v Speaker 1>uh like. On the basically, it was just like, just

0:36:15.760 --> 0:36:18.799
<v Speaker 1>like sugar, you don't want your kids, you know, heart

0:36:18.880 --> 0:36:21.640
<v Speaker 1>rate increased a lot and their blood pressure increased, and

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>it's just not gonna do yourself any favors as a

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:30.000
<v Speaker 1>parent a caffeated child. But I genuinely believe that you

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:33.879
<v Speaker 1>can go through experiences like that as a younger kid

0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:38.200
<v Speaker 1>and it'll make you a keyed up adult, a higher

0:36:38.200 --> 0:36:40.719
<v Speaker 1>strung adult. You think I do. I have come to

0:36:40.760 --> 0:36:46.680
<v Speaker 1>believe that experiences in childhood very prominently shape you're who

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:48.719
<v Speaker 1>you are as an adult very much. So I've come

0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to I guess if you're thirteen and drink a lot

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:53.799
<v Speaker 1>of coffee and you get anxious, you'd probably be an

0:36:53.800 --> 0:36:57.520
<v Speaker 1>anxious adult. I believe that probably keep drinking coffee, probably

0:36:57.560 --> 0:37:00.400
<v Speaker 1>to stave off the anxiety. When did you start drinking

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:05.840
<v Speaker 1>coffee or did you always drink a lot of soda too? No,

0:37:06.360 --> 0:37:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I guess it was as a more of a grown

0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:12.480
<v Speaker 1>up for both. Really. Yeah, I drink a lot of

0:37:12.520 --> 0:37:15.040
<v Speaker 1>kool aid as a kid, and like the straight up

0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:19.880
<v Speaker 1>tons of sugar in the kool aid kool aid. Um.

0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:23.680
<v Speaker 1>But and I drank like some some we called it pop,

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:29.680
<v Speaker 1>like fago and pepsi and stuff. But I mean, I

0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it was like as an older person twenties,

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I started drinking like coffee and earnest and cokes. That's

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 1>what it should be, I think. Sure. Um, I definitely

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't drink coffee as a kid. No, that was gross.

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Added to the taste of it was just really foul,

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought. But I really learned to love the taste

0:37:48.960 --> 0:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>of coffee, and I enjoy a nice hot cup of

0:37:51.719 --> 0:37:55.880
<v Speaker 1>coffee on a camping trip or a cold day. Um.

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I just never took up the regular habit, and not

0:37:58.800 --> 0:38:00.560
<v Speaker 1>for any reason other than I just, I don't know,

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:04.680
<v Speaker 1>just never grab me up. It wasn't like a stand though,

0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:07.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I'm not gonna start drinking caffeine, you know,

0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and everybody who drinks coffee can rot. No, because my

0:38:12.200 --> 0:38:13.920
<v Speaker 1>brother in law and my mother in law drink more

0:38:13.920 --> 0:38:16.680
<v Speaker 1>coffee than any humans alive, more than me, and they're

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:20.880
<v Speaker 1>both wonderful. Yeah. They're like, let's brew a pot of coffee,

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:24.439
<v Speaker 1>not a cup of coffee. Yeah, and let's just drink

0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:27.439
<v Speaker 1>it until it's gone, then brew another pot. You know. Yeah,

0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:32.600
<v Speaker 1>but they get a lot done. Accomplished people. They sleep

0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:34.520
<v Speaker 1>several inches above the bed. One of them is a

0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:37.200
<v Speaker 1>general in the Marine Corps. That shows you where he is. Actually,

0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:41.799
<v Speaker 1>that's my mother in law. All right. How about some

0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:46.719
<v Speaker 1>health benefits, Uh, there are a lot, believe it or not.

0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:50.719
<v Speaker 1>They've done a lot of studies and they found everything

0:38:50.880 --> 0:38:56.880
<v Speaker 1>from helping out to not develop Parkinson's disease to dropping

0:38:56.880 --> 0:39:02.200
<v Speaker 1>your risk of various cancers um cirosis. How about this,

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:06.520
<v Speaker 1>two cups a day, Supposedly we'll cause an eight drop

0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:10.879
<v Speaker 1>in the odds of developing cirrhosis. That's amazing. Yeah, that's

0:39:11.800 --> 0:39:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I drink a little bit, So maybe I should drink coffee.

0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if that has to do with them stimulating

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:21.800
<v Speaker 1>the fight or flight syndrome where you, your liver releases

0:39:21.800 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 1>more sugar to give to give you more energy or

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 1>something like that. Maybe. But what's weird then is so

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:32.200
<v Speaker 1>that would be more sugar in the bloodstream. Right. Too

0:39:32.239 --> 0:39:35.520
<v Speaker 1>much sugar in the bloodstream can lead to diabetes. Right. Well,

0:39:35.640 --> 0:39:39.120
<v Speaker 1>coffee actually is shown to reduce your risk of diabetes.

0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:42.640
<v Speaker 1>There's this Harvard study UM that involved a hundred and

0:39:42.640 --> 0:39:46.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty six thousand people over eighteen years. They followed their coffee.

0:39:46.560 --> 0:39:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Is a good study. It's a great study unless they

0:39:49.480 --> 0:39:52.720
<v Speaker 1>fudge the results. But saying they didn't. What they found

0:39:53.120 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 1>was that people who drink one to three cups of

0:39:55.120 --> 0:40:00.000
<v Speaker 1>coffee a day are nine percent less likely to contract diabetes. Right, yeah,

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you think it ends there. It does not. So people

0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:05.839
<v Speaker 1>who drank six or more cups of coffee per day,

0:40:06.239 --> 0:40:09.160
<v Speaker 1>if you were a man, your chances of contracting diabetes

0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:12.839
<v Speaker 1>were reduced by fifty four percent. That's substantial. And for

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:15.640
<v Speaker 1>women who drank one six or more cups a day,

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 1>there are chances of contracting diabetes, were of developing diabetes reduction.

0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I got another one four cups a day less chance

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of mouth and throat cancer. Uh. And I don't know

0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:32.919
<v Speaker 1>if it was this Harvard study or another one said

0:40:32.960 --> 0:40:37.319
<v Speaker 1>it could reduce suicide risk in adults. Even kind of

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:40.839
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, I guess in one way, but which way,

0:40:41.200 --> 0:40:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I was thinking, I don't know. I

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:46.840
<v Speaker 1>take that back. Well, maybe you like run from self harm,

0:40:46.920 --> 0:40:50.920
<v Speaker 1>even maybe like you flee or fight, or if it

0:40:51.080 --> 0:40:53.880
<v Speaker 1>just you know, maybe it could battle your depressive systems

0:40:53.920 --> 0:40:56.399
<v Speaker 1>by picking you up or something. I don't know. It's yeah,

0:40:57.040 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>better explanation than mind mine was stupid. Uh. They's there's

0:41:00.600 --> 0:41:04.360
<v Speaker 1>evidence that it prevents cavities actually, well yeah, which is

0:41:04.400 --> 0:41:07.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of surprising because, um that is if you just

0:41:08.560 --> 0:41:12.120
<v Speaker 1>if you're doing a study on coffee, Um that's if

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you don't put anything in your coffee, put cream and

0:41:14.840 --> 0:41:17.680
<v Speaker 1>sugar in, Yeah, you're going to get your cavities on.

0:41:17.719 --> 0:41:19.640
<v Speaker 1>All right. You kind of do both, right, just depending

0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:23.279
<v Speaker 1>on your mood. I typically go toward black, right, but

0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.280
<v Speaker 1>every now and then you throw a little vanilla creamer

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:28.480
<v Speaker 1>in there every once a while. Yeah, um yeah, if

0:41:28.520 --> 0:41:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to treat, yeah, special treat. But kathein can

0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:37.799
<v Speaker 1>hurt your teeth in that it causes teeth clenching too well,

0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:40.280
<v Speaker 1>which is one reason I'm losing teeth is I grind

0:41:40.320 --> 0:41:43.800
<v Speaker 1>my teeth at night, so maybe I shouldn't drink more coffee.

0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>It could be, yeah, but like you said, it giveth

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and it take it the way do I want teeth

0:41:48.760 --> 0:41:50.359
<v Speaker 1>or do you want my liver to hang in there

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and no diabetes? Right? Good point Alzheimer's. The bird Alzheimer's

0:41:56.480 --> 0:42:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Institute in Tampa did some experimenting lab mice, injecting them

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:03.920
<v Speaker 1>with caffeine like you said earlier, and not only did

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.959
<v Speaker 1>it protect them against developing Alzheimer's, but it helped reduce

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:09.640
<v Speaker 1>symptoms if they already had it. They haven't tried it

0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:13.120
<v Speaker 1>on humans yet, but as it goes with mice, many

0:42:13.160 --> 0:42:16.040
<v Speaker 1>times it goes with humans. Yeah, hopefully, Yeah, we could

0:42:16.040 --> 0:42:18.920
<v Speaker 1>all be injecting caffeine at some point. That to me

0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 1>is also counterintuitive too, because Alzheimer's disease is potentially a

0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:26.240
<v Speaker 1>build up of plaques in your brain that's the result

0:42:26.280 --> 0:42:30.280
<v Speaker 1>of not getting enough deep sleep. Because when you sleep,

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:33.719
<v Speaker 1>your glial channels expand and your brain is bathed in cerebrals.

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Final fluid cleans out those plaques. Right, But it only

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:39.839
<v Speaker 1>happens when you're sleeping very deeply. Um, But if you're

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:43.040
<v Speaker 1>not getting very deep sleep with coffee or caffeine, then

0:42:43.200 --> 0:42:45.839
<v Speaker 1>I would think you'd be there'd be a higher risk

0:42:45.920 --> 0:42:50.000
<v Speaker 1>of Alzheimer's. It's still fund it is, And I've also

0:42:50.040 --> 0:42:54.799
<v Speaker 1>found conflicting studies on memory. Johns Hopkins says that it's

0:42:54.800 --> 0:42:58.879
<v Speaker 1>a memory enhancer, but I've seen other studies that say

0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:04.160
<v Speaker 1>it's the memory d answer. Yeah, So again, it's like

0:43:04.200 --> 0:43:06.760
<v Speaker 1>it's stuff to kind of get down to the brass tacks,

0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you have conflicting studies. Um, if you exercise,

0:43:11.719 --> 0:43:15.680
<v Speaker 1>coffee is your best friend, caffeine is. Yeah. I've heard

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:19.319
<v Speaker 1>of like Olympic athletes that like we'll shoot espresso right

0:43:19.320 --> 0:43:21.560
<v Speaker 1>before a race. Yeah. Not only does it like give

0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you a jolt of energy and everything, but apparently it

0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:28.879
<v Speaker 1>has um ergogenic properties, which means that it delays fatigue, right,

0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and it helps your muscles use glycogen their energy stores

0:43:34.320 --> 0:43:40.680
<v Speaker 1>more efficiently too, so it can help you run better. Interesting. Yeah,

0:43:40.680 --> 0:43:43.960
<v Speaker 1>as far as cognitive abilities, um, the one study found

0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:48.160
<v Speaker 1>from Johns Hopkins Medical School said that while you think

0:43:48.280 --> 0:43:51.719
<v Speaker 1>it is increasing your cognitive abilities, what is really doing

0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:54.280
<v Speaker 1>is just taking you back to normal for a short

0:43:54.320 --> 0:43:58.120
<v Speaker 1>period that is chilling. Yeah, and then when it wears off,

0:43:58.120 --> 0:44:02.520
<v Speaker 1>you're actually below man. Yeah, I don't know. I hate

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:05.040
<v Speaker 1>to think that. I don't want to quit coffee though.

0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Quit smoking. Yeah, it lost weight. Yeah, keep your coffee.

0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:14.200
<v Speaker 1>That's another thing though I did during this break is

0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:16.360
<v Speaker 1>put some of that back on. We'll drink coffee and

0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:19.360
<v Speaker 1>go exercise, all right. Uh, if you want to know

0:44:19.440 --> 0:44:24.000
<v Speaker 1>more about caffeine, you can type that word into the

0:44:24.040 --> 0:44:28.239
<v Speaker 1>search bar how stuff works, and don't forget in this

0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:32.040
<v Speaker 1>case the egoes before the eye. Since I said search bar,

0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it's time for listener mail. Uh. This is from Maddie

0:44:36.040 --> 0:44:38.440
<v Speaker 1>in Virginia. Hey guys, I'm a twenty two year old

0:44:38.600 --> 0:44:41.960
<v Speaker 1>college student in Virginia. I want to start out by

0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:44.239
<v Speaker 1>saying thank you for the wonderful podcast. Would like this

0:44:44.320 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 1>emails good you've seen this on. Let me explain, guys,

0:44:47.760 --> 0:44:50.800
<v Speaker 1>how you've helped me. I'm gonna sufferer of extreme anxiety

0:44:50.800 --> 0:44:53.799
<v Speaker 1>and depression. I've had these issues since to a varying degree,

0:44:53.800 --> 0:44:56.840
<v Speaker 1>since middle school. However, events occurred in my life throughout

0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:58.399
<v Speaker 1>the past few years that have made the much worse.

0:44:58.760 --> 0:45:01.239
<v Speaker 1>Got to the point last semester I'm not I was

0:45:01.280 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 1>not able to go to class to homework or play

0:45:03.480 --> 0:45:07.080
<v Speaker 1>on my sports team. Thankfully, my family friends in my school.

0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Uh Through with their help, I was able to work

0:45:09.760 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 1>everything out. But I'm in a much better place, very

0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:15.600
<v Speaker 1>curious person and love learning and acquiring knowledge. And this

0:45:15.680 --> 0:45:17.880
<v Speaker 1>is where you guys come in. Uh. Though I had

0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:21.319
<v Speaker 1>trouble going to class, I still had that thirst to learn. Um.

0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:23.000
<v Speaker 1>So whenever I was in a bad place mentally, I

0:45:23.000 --> 0:45:25.640
<v Speaker 1>would grow in my earbuds play stuff you should know

0:45:25.640 --> 0:45:28.319
<v Speaker 1>podcasts in the zone out during these bad days at

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:30.360
<v Speaker 1>times when I would listen to you guys, or some

0:45:30.360 --> 0:45:32.399
<v Speaker 1>of the only instances where I would smile or laugh,

0:45:32.600 --> 0:45:34.239
<v Speaker 1>I really want to thank you for putting in all

0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:36.239
<v Speaker 1>the hard work and making a great show. I know

0:45:36.320 --> 0:45:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that you guys help people not only gain valuele knowledge,

0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:41.960
<v Speaker 1>but you also improve lives and put smiles on many faces.

0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you'll read this on the air, Psych,

0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:48.279
