Speaker 1: just topped you schoolgirl. One echo e reverbi uh sal.

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: So this could only be about one thing, nitrous ox

15
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: side and that's right and two oh, that's right. Hippie Crack,

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: the Bitter Mistress, Whippets, jazz juice, Yeah why not? I

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: mean those are the street names that has medical applicats.

18
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: Some of those are made up. Yeah, we're going to

19
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: cover the whole gamut here. Yeah, medical use and recreational

20
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: use dangers. Yeah, we're gonna do an episode on nitrous oxide.

21
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: That's right. Um, so, Chuck, we should probably start not

22
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: at the beginning, but not at the end, somewhere in

23
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: the middle, because the history of nitrous ox side is

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: extraordinarily interesting, just the history. Yeah, we're gonna tell it

25
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: out of order like pulp fiction. That's right. See if

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: you can recognize characters from other movies like Vincent Vegas Brother, Yeah,

27
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Michael Madison was Vincent Vegas Brother. Did you know that? Yeah? Oh,

28
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: you knew that. I did. Well, well, I don't think

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: that's not it's heavily as secret. Did you notice that

30
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: red Apple cigarettes make an appearance in more than just

31
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: pulp ficture? Yeah, all right, I'm done. Did you notice

32
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: that Quentin Tarantino likes to write two hundred and seventy

33
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: five page scripts. Yeah, but that's nothing compared to the

34
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty page tomb that Humphrey Davy wrote

35
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: on nitros oxide. Very nice little segue. All right, So

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: we're not even talking about Humphrey Davy yet. He's at

37
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: the beginning. He's not even at the beginning, but he's

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: towards the beginning. We're gonna talk instead about the sad

39
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: saga of one Dr Horace Wells d D S very sad. Yeah.

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: So Dr Horace Wells was a dentist in new Haven, Connecticut.

41
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: I believe in the eighteen forties. What is dds is

42
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: that Dennis Dennis see is That's what that means. That's

43
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: what I've always assumed it was. And at this point

44
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: everyone knows we just make most of the stuff. We

45
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: stay up. That's right. Uh so you're right, sir. He

46
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: was a dentist in Hotford, Connecticut. It was Hartford, I said,

47
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: new Haven. Uh, what's the difference, as long as it's

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: in Connecticut. Uh. And this was in the eighteen thirties

49
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: and U oh man really yeah, maybe we should start over.

50
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: Wow wow wow, all right. Uh. He was a dentist

51
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: in the eighteen thirties, and he recognized something that all

52
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: dentists of the day recognized, which is everyone hates your

53
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 1: guts because you are causing excruciating amounts of pain on

54
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: a daily basis to your patients. Yeah. It's it's like,

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: here's some whiskey, Maybe bite on this broomstick. Well, actually

56
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: you can't do that because you're doing dynastry. You can't

57
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: even do that. Yeah, you ever heard the term? It's

58
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: like pulling teeth. That's where it comes from, right, And

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: and so Horace Wells dds dentist dentists. See. Uh. He

60
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: felt pretty bad about this enough so that, um, he

61
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: went to a traveling exhibition once that came through town.

62
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: And this was in the eighteen forties, and it was

63
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: staged by a man named h. A. Gardner Colton. That's

64
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: a great name, Gardner Quincy Colton. Yeah he sounds like

65
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: a like a rich kid from Texas or yeah, or

66
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: like a side show showman, which is what he was, right.

67
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: And he actually was in medical school for a little while.

68
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: And while he was in med school he was introduced

69
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: to the wonders of huffing nitrous oxide. Yes, and he said,

70
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do medical school anymore. Ims is gonna

71
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: drop out and hit the road with tank the old

72
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: hippie crack. Yeah exactly, and show people what's what. And

73
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: so at one of these demonstrations in Hartford and sometime

74
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: in the eighteen forties, um, he saw Colton give this

75
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: demo and and I guess right afterwards saw a man

76
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: run into the stage or fell off the stage and

77
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: hurt his leg and Wells went over. I was like,

78
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: are you okay? And the guys like, what are you

79
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: talking about? And he said the bonus sticking out of

80
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: your legs, sir, And he's like, what's the bone? Now?

81
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't that bad, but he did say interesting. Um,

82
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: here's what I'll do. I'll get Colton to come into

83
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: my office tomorrow and my buddy colleague John Riggs. I'll

84
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: get Cold to administer the gas and I'll get Rigs

85
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 1: to pull one of my teeth. And uh he did so,

86
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: and he said I did not feel so much as

87
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: the prick of a pin. And he said, I think

88
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: we're onto something here, something called pain free dentistry a

89
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: k A. Please stop hating me, right, And so Wells

90
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: followed in this really great tradition that really stopped in

91
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: I guess probably about the twentieth century, mid the late

92
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: twentieth century, of where if you were a scientist you

93
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: were your own first human test subject. That people still

94
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, apparently in um in Marvel Comics they do.

95
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: One of the greatest articles I've ever read in any

96
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: magazine anywhere in all time throughout the universe, in perpetuity

97
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: is called blood spore, and it was about the murder

98
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: of a mycologist scientists who studies mushrooms, and um, it's

99
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: really really interesting. There's all sorts of weird like cold

100
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: case stuff to it, but there's also like an under

101
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: underlying thread where if you're my oologists and you discover

102
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: a mushroom, you try it out on yourself, right, Like

103
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: that's just what they do still today. I think that

104
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: you tried it on yourself after you fed it to

105
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: your children, just to see what happened, maybe your dog first,

106
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: and then you try it on you. Man. I'll bet

107
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: those those my collogist dogs were bandanas then are super

108
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: laid back. You know. Uh, what's the name of the article?

109
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: I want to check that out, blood Sport. It's in

110
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: Harper's which means it's behind a paywall, but gotcha, it's

111
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: It's almost worth a year's subscription just for that one.

112
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: And Harper's archives are definitely full of good articles. Agreed.

113
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: So Wells was pretty happy because he knew he was

114
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: onto something there, and he said he performed um, just

115
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: dental procedures for the next few weeks and months on

116
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: dozens of patients and they were all like this is great, great,

117
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: didn't feel a thing, Doc, And he said, I think

118
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I wanna present this to some Harvard medical

119
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: students in the establishment. And he got on stage and

120
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: uh he went to pull a tooth and the guy

121
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: started screaming. Yeah. So, like after all of these tests,

122
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: successful tests, when he finally gets up the gumpch and

123
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: to give a successful demonstration, it goes as bad as

124
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: it could. And it's actually called the Humbug affair because

125
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: the medical students shouted humbug and what was the other

126
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: swindler at him, and he's like, no, I'm not, I'm not.

127
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: I swear this is for real, I really care about

128
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: my patients. In the room started spinning and he fell

129
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: over and when he came to, he was on skid row,

130
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: hooked on chloroform and nitrous oxide. Yeah. He later went

131
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: on to say that, um, although wait, let me let

132
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: me clarify, you technically can't get hooked on nitrous oxide.

133
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: But he was huffing a lot of nitrous oxide, right. Uh. Well,

134
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: although Davy, well we'll get to that a spoiler. He

135
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: went on to say that he thought that he had

136
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: probably withdrawn too much too soon from the guy, because

137
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: as we'll go on to talk about here in a

138
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: little bit, um, when you stop breathing in nitris, you

139
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: go back to normal pretty quickly quickly. So he kind

140
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: of just aired. I don't know, I would have gone

141
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: a little bit overboard for the demo. Sure, on the

142
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: same side, I would have been like ninety night pal.

143
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, he he became well, like you said,

144
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: not hooked, but a heavy user of ether and chloroform

145
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: in the On his thirty third birthday, he was I

146
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: think awaiting arrival of his He ended up living alone,

147
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: moved and was waiting on his wife and kid to

148
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: come to London. But by this time he'd sunk into

149
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: like a terrible depression, right and uh he was alone

150
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: because his family wasn't able to join him yet. And

151
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: he flipped out on his thirty third birthday and went

152
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: out on the street and through acid on these two

153
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: women flipped out after going on like a chloroform vendor. Yeah,

154
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: and went to prison, and in prison he sort of

155
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: reached He kept doing chloroform and ether in prison because

156
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: I guess you could get it, and um hit rock

157
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: bottom and under an ether binge slashed his femoral artery

158
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: in his thigh died. Well, yeah, he talked to the

159
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: guard into escorting him home to get his shaving kit.

160
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: And at home it's like I need a big razor.

161
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: I think at home or maybe back if he's getting

162
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: chloroform in prison, it could have been there. He huffed

163
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: a dose of chloroform to anesthetize himself and then he

164
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: cut his femoral artery. So to the end, he was

165
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: a believer in anesthesia, I guess. So. However, um years later,

166
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty four, he was He was recognized by

167
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: the A d A, the American Dental Association as a

168
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: pioneer of using uh not ether But what are we

169
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: talking about two in dentistry in two oh yeah, And

170
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: do you know who got him to that point? Well, yeah,

171
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: Gardner Colton. That's right. He set up practice as a

172
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: dentist after all, and it was his successful demonstrations that

173
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: got the d A on board. So now we need

174
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: to go back in time. Yeah, even further back. That's

175
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: sort of the middle. So we're in the way back machine.

176
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: I guess we didn't point out we were in there already.

177
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: I think everyone just assumed, and we go back seventy

178
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: years previous to Horace Wells, to a guy named Jason

179
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: Priestley Dylan, Sorry, no, Brandon, Joseph Priestly. Oh that guy

180
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: Jason Priestley's dad, Yeah, or great great great great great

181
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: great great grandfather. I don't think there was any relation. Actually,

182
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: you don't know, you're right, Joseph Priestley. He was an

183
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: Englishman and he begins Priestley, that's right. And he was

184
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: a big He was an enlightened thinker, and he was

185
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: a contemporary Ben Franklin. And he was a smart guy

186
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: on a lot of different subjects. He was a polyglot. Yeah,

187
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: that's a good word for it. Cool guy. And no,

188
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He was a poly math math a holly

189
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: glodd as somebody speaks a bunch of different languages. Poly

190
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: Math is somebody who's in a bunch of different fields. Yeah. Probably.

191
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: He was an enlightenment guy for sure. And in the

192
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: seventeen seventies he was studying a love I think we

193
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: should go back to using only old terminology because what

194
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: they called gases back then was the study of the airs,

195
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: which is great, totally makes sense. Gases. It needs to

196
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: shoot a duck and he actually lived next to a brewery,

197
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: so he had a lot of access to CEO two

198
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: and very smartly created a device called the pneumatic trough

199
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: to isolate gases, collect and isolate these gases, and he

200
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: was good at it so well. A guy named Steven

201
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: Hales actually created the first pneumatic trough, which is actually

202
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: pretty simple invention. It's neat though, so like you have

203
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: a tube. Let's say you have a fire and you

204
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: want to collect carbon monoxide from it. You basically have

205
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: a tube that collects it the smoke that's coming off

206
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: of it, and the tube goes into a vat of

207
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: water and up into a like a glass bell jar

208
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: that's upside down. It's inverted so that there's there's air

209
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: at the top. I think the principle is similar. And

210
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: so the smoke goes into the water and then goes

211
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: up and is filtered through the water. And what the

212
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: gas you have on the other end is whatever you're

213
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: looking for, or a bunch of different gases that you

214
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: can study and pure form simplistically beautiful. It is so

215
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: um priestly had his own that he made the pneumatic trough,

216
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: and this guy actually isolated eight different gases or airs

217
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: for the first time, which apparently is a record. Still. Yeah,

218
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what the record is like most gases

219
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: discovered in a single lifetime. Okay, I guess all right,

220
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: that's good it is. I don't know that there's any

221
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: more gases to discover. I wonder, and who studies that

222
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: kind of thing? What do you call somebody who studies

223
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: gases an arologists, anist? Well, if you do that right

224
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: into us, because I want to know all about that,

225
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: and if there's if you guys think there's any gases

226
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: left to be discovered here on earth. Agreed. Alright, let's

227
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: take a break before we talk about Humphrey Davy because

228
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: he's This is where the story gets really good. That

229
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: was quite a break. Yeah, I can't believe you broke

230
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: that lamp. That was upset, all right, Humphrey Davy. Uh.

231
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: He worked at a place called the Newmatic Institute, and

232
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: they used gases as for therapy, curative therapies, and he

233
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: got into using them on himself, which, like you said,

234
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: was sort of the thing to do at the time,

235
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: you experiment on yourself. Right. Plus, as the author of

236
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: this Rolling Stone article from nineteen seventy five that I

237
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: read pointed out he was also like twenty at the time,

238
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: so it totally makes sense that he would like half

239
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of nitrous oxide and then the call it science, right,

240
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: but he I mean, it really was science. So this

241
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: guy apparently had tried it a few times before, but

242
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: then his big experiment, his first huge experiment was on

243
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: Boxing Day of seventeen, right, which is December. It's very

244
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: important that you remember December. Why is it important, Well,

245
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: it was Boxing Day, but it was also literally box

246
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: day because Humphrey David got into a box and had

247
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: some guy pump in was it like twenty courts? Yeah,

248
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: he's he stepped into a seal box and he requested

249
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: a physician, like a real doctor, to release twenty courts

250
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: because otherwise it'd just be crazy, right. He released twenty

251
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: courts of nitrous oxide every five minute as long as

252
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm conscious. That must have been the safe words. I'm

253
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: passed out. And he went for an hour and fifteen

254
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: minutes like that in this box, and then he stepped

255
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: out and apparently grabbed some oil skins or also called

256
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: gas bags, and um huffed another twenty courts right afterward.

257
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: And they're like, how are you still standing? And he goes,

258
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm flying. He basically did. He had a

259
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: great disposition to laugh, which eventually is where laughing gas

260
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: would come from. He talked about shining packets of light

261
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: and energy. He talked about objects dazzling in their intensity,

262
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: and sounds amplified into a cacophony that echoed through infinite

263
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: space and losing all connection to external things. It's pretty cool.

264
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: So we there's this really great article on the public

265
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: Domain Review and it's called oh excellent, gas bag, gas

266
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: bag or airbag, airbag, air bag, I'm sorry, which is

267
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: a quote from a poet that was friends with Humphrey Davy,

268
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: who became the Poet Laureate of Great Britain. Later on

269
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: Um and the the Um, the author really does a

270
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: good job of describing what nitrous oxide does to you,

271
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: almost suspiciously good. So um. They say that the first

272
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: signature was it's curiously benign sweet taste, followed by a

273
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: general pressure in the head as he continued to inhale.

274
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: Within thirty seconds, the sensation of soft, probing pressure had

275
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: extended to his chest and the tips of his fingers

276
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: and toes. This was accompanied by a vibrant burst of

277
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: pleasure and a gradual change in the world around him.

278
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Objects became brighter and clearer, and the space in the

279
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,239
Speaker 1: cramped box seemed to expand and take on unfamiliar dimensions.

280
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: Now under the influence of the largest dose of nitrous

281
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: oxide anyone had ever taken, these effects were intensified to

282
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: levels he could not have imagined. So I keep going, sure,

283
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: do you want to do? You want to take over?

284
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: I think it's better when we break it up. I'm

285
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: gonna the southy part. So okay. His hearing became fantastically acute,

286
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: allowing him to distinguish every sound in the room, and

287
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: seemingly from far beyond, a vast, distant hump wah wah

288
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: wah wah, perhaps the vibration of the universe itself. In

289
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: his field of vision, the objects around him were teasing

290
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: themselves apart into shining packets of light and energy. He

291
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: was rising effortlessly in a new world whose existence he

292
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: had never suspected. Somehow, the whole experience was irresistibly funny.

293
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: So Robert Southey, his buddy you mentioned the future poet laureate.

294
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: He brought him in afterward, He was like, I gotta

295
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: get some more people in on this fantastic I gotta

296
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: share this. Yeah, that's what you do. So he brought

297
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: in Southey, got him high, and he wrote his brother

298
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: Tom a letter that said, oh Tom, exclamation point, such

299
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: a gas as Davy discovered the gaseous oxid. Oh Tom again,

300
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: exclamation point, I have had some. It made me laugh

301
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: and single and every toe and fingertip. Davy has actually

302
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: invented a new pleasure for which language has no name.

303
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: Oh Tom, I am going for more this evening. It

304
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: makes one strong and so happy, so gloriously happy. Oh

305
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: excellent air bag exclamation Boyit pretty great stuff, No wonder

306
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: he was so in the summer of after they closed

307
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: the shop down the Pneumatic Institution. During the day he

308
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: would invite surgeons and playwrights and poets and chemists and

309
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: anyone who was interested who we could get the word

310
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: to to come in there and huff nitrius um. I

311
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: was about to see under the guise of experimentation, but

312
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: it really was because he would he learned that he

313
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: was really finding that there were It was a language

314
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,239
Speaker 1: experiment because no one could accurately describe what they were

315
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: feeling with English words right exactly. They He found that

316
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: very strange and insignificant that people would just come out

317
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 1: and just couldn't put it into into words. Their experience

318
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: it was, I mean, it was a brand new sensation

319
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: there was. Um. One guy, James Thompson said, we must

320
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: either invent new terms to express these new and peculiar

321
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: sensations or attach new ideas to old ones before we

322
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: can communicate intelligently or I'm sorry, intelligibly with each other

323
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: on the operation of this extraordinary gas. I think um

324
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the great poet, um put it best.

325
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: He put it really succinctly. He basically said that it

326
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: was like coming in from the snow into a warm room. Yeah.

327
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: So what happened was he did these experiments with these people.

328
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: They eventually got kind of tired of it. He experimented

329
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: on himself, like not even in the room. He just

330
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: would fill up a big balloon or not a balloon

331
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: but a silk bag and just walk around England huffing.

332
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: And he found himself getting psychologically hooked at least because

333
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: he said, he confessed that the desire to breathe the

334
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: gas is awakened in me by the sight of a

335
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: person breathing. So he would just see someone walking and

336
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: breathing and think, oh man, I wish I had some gas.

337
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: That's how they call it, hippie crack. Yeah, exactly. So

338
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: everyone else fell away. He was only experimenting with themselves

339
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: for a little while. Then he brings in Coleridge and

340
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: they really buddied up, and um he I think they

341
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: were just kind of saw eye to eye on the gas,

342
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: like neither one of them wanted to cease using it.

343
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: And so again, though you have to point out all

344
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: this time, while he's under the he's just huffing nitrous

345
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: basically constantly. Humphrey Davy is still remaining a man of science. Right,

346
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: So remember December was the day that the Boxing Day

347
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: experiment took place, right by Easter. Just a few months later,

348
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: he'd written a five hundred and eighty page scientific treatise

349
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: on nitrous oxide and its effects on humans and animals.

350
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: Should I read the title, Yeah, Researches chemical and philosophical

351
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: chiefly concerning nitrous oxide or deep Oh man, what is

352
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: that word? Deflogisticated nitrous air and its respiration was the

353
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: name of it? Yes, So in that book he he

354
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: mentioned something, um kind of I guess off handedly. He

355
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: says that as nitrous oxide appears capable of destroying physical pain,

356
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: it may probably be used with advantage during surgical operations

357
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: in which no great effusion of blood takes place. Yes,

358
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: so not like open heart surgery, but maybe if you're

359
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: going to set someone's broken arm. Right, So he says this,

360
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: But it's another forty years before Horace Wells starts trying

361
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: to use nitrous oxide as an anesthetic. Up to that point,

362
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: it's basically just a high society drug that people have

363
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: like nitrous parties with. That was the fate of nitrous

364
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: oxide from eighteen hundred to about the eighteen forties. And

365
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: then Horace Wells picks it up and it becomes brought

366
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: into the medical field. Yeah, they finally start using it

367
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: for its intended Uh, well, what would end up being

368
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: its intended purpose? That's still used today and uh. In fact,

369
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: nitrous oxide is the number one inhaled anesthetic in the

370
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: medical profession. Asked for it by name. And here's the

371
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: deal though, when you get it in the at the dentist,

372
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: they can actually vary it, but it never goes more

373
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: than a seventy thirty mix. I saw that too. This

374
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: article says it's always a fifty fifty mix. That's not right.

375
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: So it's it's um no more than nitrous yeah, which

376
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: is very much key, as you'll learn, because one of

377
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: the big dangers of doing it recreationally is not mixing

378
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: it with oxygen. If you mix it with oxygen, like,

379
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: you're fine, You're totally fine. Um. So it's kind of

380
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: nuts chuck that with nitrous oxide. We spent at least

381
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty years and still the day we're

382
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: not a million percent sure, but at least a hundred

383
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: and fifty years using it medically without understanding how it worked. Yeah,

384
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: it's like you said, though, it's still a little dicey.

385
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: It is a little bit dice you know. It makes

386
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: you feel good, right, It does the trick, and it

387
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: kicks in your your dopamine and all the pleasure receptors.

388
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: So it's it's classified as three things. It's an analgesic,

389
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: which means that it kills pain. It's a it's an anesthetic,

390
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: but it's actually not a true anesthetic. And uh, it's

391
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: an anxioltic, which means it diminishes anxiety. And so I

392
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: found this two thousand six paper UM and it basically says,

393
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: here's what we think is going on. So within anxiolytic

394
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: um it triggers the same UM response in the brain

395
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: as a benzodiazepin, which is like valium or annex or

396
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: something like that. So it actually does cut down an anxiety,

397
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: which is why they dentist will use it for like

398
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: little kids or patients who are like nervous about going

399
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: to the dentists. Get a little gas, probably not a

400
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: seventy thirty concentration, just a little bit, and it will

401
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: cut down on your anxiety and you're totally I doc,

402
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: go ahead and do whatever you like. Yeah, UM, as

403
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: far as an analgesic is concerned, it actually does have

404
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of UM an ability to cut down

405
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: on pain. And it does so by activating your opioids

406
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: that those are released, opioids are producing the brain and

407
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: your oh sorry, opioid receptors are activated as well. And

408
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 1: then it also goes to your spinal column and messes

409
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: with its ability to UM to process pain there too.

410
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: And they say that something like a just a thirty

411
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: percent concentration of nitrous oxide is equal to about ten

412
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: to fifteen milligrams of morphine. Yeah, and that's if it's

413
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: fifty fifty or below with oxygen. It's on the analgesic side,

414
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: I think up to the se is when it is

415
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 1: known as an anesthetic, right, And so it's not technically

416
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: an anesthetic in that if you if you huff that

417
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: until you lost consciousness, you're probably in big trouble. You

418
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: don't want to use nitro sock side for that, and

419
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: anesthetists know that kind of thing. But it's used usually

420
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: as an aid to a general anesthetic, right, And it

421
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: does have anesthetic properties, but it's a dissociative anesthetic, kind

422
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: of like ketamine, which means that it goes after your

423
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: n M d A receptors, which have to do with

424
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: memory formation and they control UM like neural firing, right,

425
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: And it it has a dissociative effect, which is why

426
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: when you're on nitris you feel like you have left

427
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: your body. You've gone back the time you died and

428
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: are being reborn. Yeah. And one of the um we'll

429
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about childbirth later, but UM

430
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: one of the quotes I saw from a childbirth nurse. Um,

431
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: they said they the mothers who use it during childbirth

432
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: are that sometimes they can still feel pain, they just

433
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: don't care about it, which would be the disassociative quality exactly.

434
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: But I don't get because you said it was an analgesic. Yeah,

435
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I guess maybe childbirth is so painful

436
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: I can't knock it out completely. And also, I mean,

437
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: like with anesthetics of any kind, UM or even analgesics,

438
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: any any person is going to have different reactions, varying

439
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: reactions to different drugs, you know. UM, So that's that's

440
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: kind of the current state of understanding with UM the

441
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: what nitrous does to the brain. Right, you can also

442
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: find nitrous elsewhere outside of medical settings to right, Yeah,

443
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: you can find in a can of ready whip or

444
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: if you UM, A lot of chefs will have their

445
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: own UM nitrous canister to put whatever they want in

446
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: it to be used as a propellant. So, uh, it

447
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: works really well with fatty liquids and heavy creams and things.

448
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: So what happens is the gases in their compressed into

449
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: a liquid and mixed with the cream because it's it's

450
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: fat soluble, highly pressurized, but as soon as you open

451
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: that thing up, it turns back into a gas and

452
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: expands it like four times. So that's why the whip

453
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: cream will come shooting out. What's neat is you could

454
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: buy ready Whip twenty years hence, after it sat in

455
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: a garage in Tampa, Florida, say somewhere hot and muggy,

456
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: and shake it up and pour it out, and that

457
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: whipped cream will be totally fresh, not the least bit rancid.

458
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: That's because nitrous oxide totally displaces air and oxygen, so

459
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: no bacteria can can form inside a can of Ready

460
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Whip or any other instant whip cream. Well, and that

461
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: displacement of oxygen is also why you can die if you,

462
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: let's say, put a bag over your head to intensify

463
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: your high. If you're using it recreationally, well, we'll talk

464
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: more about that later, right, Yes, before we break though,

465
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: let's mention cars, because anyone who has ever seen fasts

466
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: and furious is or is this Sammy Hagar solo fan,

467
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: I can't drive, that's right? Does he talked about nitros No,

468
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: but it's just assumed that there's nitrous and all. Well,

469
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: you've heard. You may have heard or seen on TV

470
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: or movies about using nitrous in your car, like you

471
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: have that little tank, or you may see one of

472
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: those cheesy cars in a parking lot with the with

473
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: the little tank in there. And basically what it does

474
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: is cars run burn hotter. Engines burn hotter and go

475
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 1: faster with more oxygen. And if you crank in that

476
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: nitrous oxide, Uh, it's just basically going to ramp up

477
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: the oxygen levels going into the engine. Right, with more oxygen,

478
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: more gaskets burned, right, more gaskets burned, more horsepowers produced

479
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: because the gases expanding pump those pistons even harder than

480
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: You're too fast and too furious, yea for the roads,

481
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: maybe even doing a little tokyo drifting. Have you seen

482
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: those any of them? No? But I believe I believe

483
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: they're the most lucrative movie franchise in the history of

484
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: like all movies, because they made seven of them. Yeah,

485
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: but like the first one made a billion dollars world

486
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: its first week, or the last one, the last one

487
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: made like a billion dollars. It's crazy how I saw.

488
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: I think I saw the first one. Yeah, I've never

489
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: seen any of them. But that's about it's just not

490
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: my bag. No, I don't. If you like that kind

491
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: of thing, that's great. I'm not I've never been a

492
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: car guy. Yeah, you know, like I like my cars,

493
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: but I've never been like, oh man, look at that

494
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: sports car. I sure would like to drive fast in that. Yeah. Well,

495
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: remember when we hosted or judge that Red Bull thing.

496
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was talking to uh young Jock and

497
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: I was talking to him and he started talking about cars,

498
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Wow, we don't have anything common, do we. Yeah, Josh,

499
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: and I judged a soapbox derby contest sponsor by Red

500
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: Bull and Young Jock at local Atlanta rapper who was

501
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: super cool. He's very nice guy, but he was a

502
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: car dude. And I'm not a car dude. I know

503
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: you're not a car dude either. Like, well, I got

504
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: my pickup truck. Yeah, I'm like, look at those uh tires,

505
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: pretty neat. They really make contact with the asphalt, don't they.

506
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: All Right, well, let's take a break and go learn

507
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: more about cars, and we'll come back and talk about

508
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: some of the recreational use and dangers. But we're done

509
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: talking about cars, right, Yes, And by the way if

510
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: you want to know about cars, if you're into that

511
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: kind of thing and you love us, and you're not

512
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: getting your fixed from cars from us, go listen to

513
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 1: car stuff. You don't, you're definitely not getting your fix

514
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: about cars from us. I can tell you that you

515
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: can get it from car stuff. Ben and Scott have

516
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: it locked down over there. I bet you they've covered nitros.

517
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure in the automobile they've covered everything all right, so, uh,

518
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: recreational use. Um. It has this medical purposes and its

519
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: food and auto purposes. But nitros is very famous for

520
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: becoming um, a big, big especially at concerts. That's what

521
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: they call it, hippie crack. In the in the seventies,

522
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: you started being able to buy this stuff like a

523
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: big balloon full of it at like a concert festival

524
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: or let's be honest, at a grateful dead show. Right.

525
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 1: They're also I'll post that Rolling Stone um article on

526
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: the podcast page for this really interesting. But it's also

527
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: a a what is that? Oh it's called second hand embarrassment? Like, um,

528
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: what people getting never watching the Jeb Bush campaign? Second

529
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: hand embarrassment? Well, yes, well you never you're embarrassed somebody, Yes, exactly. Um,

530
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: the the the you definitely get that from reading this

531
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: because the writers very earnestly super seventies. Really Yeah, like

532
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: one of the person the people who has interviewed as

533
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: a as an expert of sources, the guy from High Times.

534
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: Only in the mid seventies did you get away with

535
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: calling up the High Times guy and just using him

536
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: like a regular source. You'll see what I'm saying, like

537
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: it sounds normal. Read the article and you'll be like, yeah,

538
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 1: this is super seventies. Well, in the seventies is when

539
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: it started becoming a big concert going activity. Oh wait,

540
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: I know what it was going to solid dorm rooms.

541
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: In this Rolling Stone article, they were saying like if

542
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 1: you go to like a lot of us said at

543
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: in Berkeley, California, and they were like places all over,

544
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: not just a concerts Um, it was everywhere in the

545
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: seventies because a lot of people were like, as it's cool,

546
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: but this stuff like you can just stop and five

547
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: minutes later you're back on your feet. Yeah, so it

548
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: was like a big deal to him. Well, which is

549
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: one reason they call a hippie crack because the the

550
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: highest short lived. Uh, and you want to do another one?

551
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: Uh and go listen our crack episode. Should we talk

552
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: about why the Highest short lived? Uh? Well, let me

553
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: finish my thoughts. Sorry so um. Earlier in the nineteenth

554
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: and twentieth century, though, like you said, when it was

555
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: um sort of the back room parlor game of the

556
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: high society. It made its way into Hollywood and uh

557
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: back in like the days of making High Times and

558
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: movies like or uh not High Times the h what

559
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: was the one Casa Blanket? No, the famous pop movie

560
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm totally blanking out on the pot movie for madness. Uh.

561
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 1: There were movies about huffing, though. Was Charlie Chaplin was

562
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: in one in nineteen fourteen where he played a dentist. Uh, well,

563
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: someone posing as a dentist who would hugh gas? Have you?

564
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen that chaplain um thing where he

565
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: does coke and jail and ends up like pulling the

566
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: bars apart. It's pretty hilarious actually, And there were several

567
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: uh movies early on called Laughing Gas, not just one, right,

568
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: and they weren't sequels. There were just multiple movies called

569
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: Laughing Gas. Yeah, I'm sure you could get a decent

570
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: amount of people into a theater to watch people doing

571
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: laughing gas, and then they thought, man, I could go

572
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: for some laughing gas myself. All right, so what were

573
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: you gonna say about? Oh? Why the high last such

574
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: a short period of time? So it's constant while you're

575
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: huffing it, right, because you're huffing nitrogen gas or nitrogen

576
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: nitrogen oxide gas, and it's displacing oxygen I'm sorry, nitrous oxide, guess,

577
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: And it is displacing oxygen. But as long as you're

578
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: huffing in a safe supply of oxygen as well, your

579
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: brain is continuing to function. But your opioid receptors are

580
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: also going crazy, and you're dissociative, and d m A

581
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: receptors are going crazy too, and so you're high, but

582
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: you're staying alive because you're taking in enough oxygen. Right.

583
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: The thing is, your body doesn't metabolize almost any of

584
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: that nitrous oxide. Something like point zero zero four percent

585
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: of nitrous oxide is metabolized for the most part. You

586
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: huff it in, it's dissipated through your lungs into your

587
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: bloodstream and then brought back out and you exhale it,

588
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: so it resembles almost exactly it's same form that it

589
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: went in when it comes out, which means that there's

590
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: no hangover and it's expelled from your body through breathing,

591
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 1: just normal breathing after you take the nitrous away, which

592
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: is why so many people were like, you can have

593
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: crazy visions on this. This is what the hippies were saying.

594
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: You can have crazy visions on this, and it takes

595
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: you to other universes and then five minutes later, you're fine.

596
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: Sign me up. Let's call the High Times guy and

597
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: see what he thinks about it. Let's get a quote

598
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: from him. I did find a study though, and um,

599
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: I think it was last year, uh, published in Clinical Neurophysiology,

600
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: that they hooked people up to an e G and

601
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: had m huff nitrous They really yeah, And the guy

602
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: there said nitrous oxide has control over the brain in

603
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: ways no other drug does. And what they found was,

604
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: um it altered UH basically created slow delta waves for

605
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: up to three minutes across the front of the brain

606
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: every ten seconds. I wonder if that's what makes the

607
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: wallah sound, Well, it's it. Basically what they found is

608
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: it lasted for three minutes. After you think you're okay,

609
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: oh yeah, so it's still uh still doing damage even

610
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: though you think you feel fine for for three minutes,

611
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: which completely surprised them. Oh yeah, I could see that especially.

612
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if the effects whereof you would think you

613
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: would you you would physiologically be back to normal too.

614
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: That is surprising. I found another study UM from I'm

615
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: not sure when that sometimes in the last few years,

616
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: where they studied the effects of it on rats and

617
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: found that UM short term low concentration exposure and low

618
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: concentration meaning like fifty years like what they used medically.

619
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: UM would like the effects of it on the brain

620
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: neural cells is reversible. But it is very true. And

621
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: this is why everybody hears about nitrous oxide is that

622
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: when you huff you it kills brain cells. That's absolutely true.

623
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: It create It creates apoptosis, which is pre programmed cellular death,

624
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: and your neurons. It causes your brain cells to die

625
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: because of a lack of oxygen. Nitrogen or nitrous oxide

626
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: displaces oxygen and your brain needs oxygen. And when your

627
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 1: brain cells don't get oxygen, they die and your brain

628
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: undergoes hypoxy All right, not good for you. Plus the

629
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: fact that UM it goes after n d M A

630
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 1: s uh receptors which are responsible for the mile in

631
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: which is the sheath that coats your your nerves right, Um,

632
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: that can lead to brain damage. That last two the

633
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: thing is, and this is a rat study. It seems

634
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: like it's prolonged exposure or exposure of super high concentrations

635
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: that that create irreversible damage. Yeah. They've done a lot

636
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: more studying about it in the UK than here because

637
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: up until this year it was legal. Oh they allowed it. Yeah,

638
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: well so I guess the results of the study weren't promising. Uh. Well,

639
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean this was that only what is it now

640
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: mid February. Yeah, it's only like two weeks ago that

641
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: like literally came on the really has officially law. Uh.

642
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: And there were big demonstrations in in England, like like

643
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: massive huffing parties on the lawn of uh, like the

644
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,240
Speaker 1: I don't know where they decide these things in Parliament

645
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: put Buckingham Palace, say Buckingham Ballace because they're like this

646
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: is you know, what are we gonna do at Glastonbury

647
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: Festival every year? Now? Uh? And they nice bozz marketing

648
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: by the way, what the Glastonbury Well, we're not going

649
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: to that. I know. I was saying nice, okay, Um,

650
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: well they do it a lot there. That's why the

651
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: festival people said it's like a big litter offender because

652
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: I could totally see that canisters and balloons are just everywhere,

653
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 1: and you know, birds pick up the balloons and they

654
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: tried to fly off of the canisters and tear their

655
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 1: legs off because they're not strong enough to lift them.

656
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: So worldwide it was in two thousand fourteen it was

657
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: the fourteenth most used drug in the world. And m really, yeah, huh,

658
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 1: what do you think of higher or lower? I didn't

659
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: even think about it. I think it's that's just that's

660
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: that just totally caught me by surprise. Uh. And the

661
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: Independent said that um, the UK's largest drug and alcohol

662
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: charity alistair Boe. They said, you know what, we can't

663
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: credibly deny that, compared to other drugs, is relatively low risk.

664
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: The risk from taking it from balloons are quite low. Uh.

665
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: And to back up what you said, he said, where

666
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: there have been stories about deaths, they tend to be

667
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: from people who are using canisters uh in masks. Uh.

668
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: That's when you get into danger. Like that's stupid. Let

669
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: me get out this old World War two gas masks,

670
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: or let me put a bag over my head, or

671
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: let me get in a car. Uh, and then you're

672
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: not getting that mix of oxygen and then you die.

673
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: First of all, kids, if you are putting a plastic

674
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 1: bag over your head for any reason, don't you're a dummy.

675
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: That's a dumb thing to do. Well, yeah, you're you're

676
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: you're reaching, you're going down the wrong path in life.

677
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: That's a great way to put it, because I don't

678
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: want some kids to be like, oh, I'm a dummy

679
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: and that's why I do these things. You know, that's

680
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: self defeating. Come on, come on, son. But there have

681
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 1: been plenty of plenty of incidences of death. Um. Joseph Bennett,

682
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,839
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old from North London, died in two

683
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: thousand twelve after falling into a coma, and then just

684
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: this year that twenty one year old student was found

685
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: dead um in his room with two hundred spent cartridges.

686
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: Oh well, just chasing that high it's the problem. Yes,

687
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you shouldn't try it at all, but you're

688
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna die when you have those high, high, high concentrations. Yeah,

689
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: that's the I mean, that's the problem. With nitris. I mean, like,

690
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: if you're being administered nitrous, even in a medical setting,

691
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: you can have a bad reaction to it, and it

692
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: turns out your allergic to nitris and your debt or

693
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: you're in if you are in, right, But if you

694
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: even if you're in a medical setting, you're you're you're

695
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: flirting with death. You're right there on on the edge

696
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: of death. And if you're doing outside of a medical setting,

697
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: your likelihood of dying or or suffering some sort of

698
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 1: horrible adverse reaction to it is even more through the roof, right,

699
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,959
Speaker 1: especially if you're taking hits straight out of a tank

700
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: and you're not taking breaths of clean air in between. Yes,

701
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: you you very likely could die. And it's not just

702
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: um hypoxia that that gets you or asphyxiation. You can

703
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: also die from passing out and hitting your head. Yeah.

704
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: Or I saw this one sad case. I think it

705
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,840
Speaker 1: was in the United States. This lady's son, like you know,

706
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: wandered out into traffic and got hit by a car

707
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: from nitrous. Yeah, because he did nitros and was just

708
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: like so spaced out, he just kind of walked out

709
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: into traffic. Um, because you're not you know, you're not

710
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: aware of what's going on at the time and chasing

711
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: that high like I was talking about, Uh, it would

712
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: feel so good, You're like, but it's so fast, Like, well,

713
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: how can I prolong that experience? I'll just stop breathing

714
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: regular air in between. What a waste? Yeah, it's just

715
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: it's not smart. No, it doesn't know. Um, I think

716
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: we got that across anyway. I think so you know

717
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: who doesn't do nitrous no? How no way? Scientologists? Uh why?

718
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: L Ron Hubbard hated nitrous oxide so much so that

719
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: he stopped going to the dentist. He had famously terrible

720
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 1: um teeth, and he didn't go to the dentist, and

721
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: he in eight he did go to the dentist to

722
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: have some work done, and they put him under with

723
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: some nitris and he had a near death experience and

724
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 1: came back and he wrote a manuscript called ex Caliber,

725
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: and it's unpublished, and in ex Caliber, l Ron Hubbard

726
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: claimed that anyone who read it either went insane committed suicide.

727
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: I remember reading about that, and and all of this

728
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 1: knowledge was given to him from his nitrous oxide experience.

729
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: So he determined that nitrous oxide is very bad it's

730
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: a hypnotic, it makes you too suggestible, and um, you

731
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: should avoid at all costs. Interesting. Yeah, he writes about

732
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: it in Dianetics, saying it's it's bad jam. He's the

733
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: only person ever do it and not say this is great.

734
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: You had a bad time on it. Well, let's talk

735
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: about childbirth unless you have anything else. So in Canada,

736
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: in Finland, Australia, in the United Kingdom, traditionally women have

737
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: used this and still do today during childbirth up to

738
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: six in the UK and about and those other countries,

739
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: but it's not in the US. In two thousand eleven,

740
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: less than one percent of hospitals even offered it. I've

741
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: never heard of that in the U. S. Well, that's

742
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: all changing now. Um, basically the medical establishment is basically

743
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: saying there's really no good reason not to. It's just

744
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 1: sort of stubbornness in our history and being fixed in

745
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: our ways um of offering the epidural and and other

746
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: kinds of drugs during childbirth. So it's there's been a

747
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: big push lately to have it as an option at

748
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: least for women. Um, labor machines are only fifty fifty.

749
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: You can't even alter the setting to go any higher

750
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: than that. Uh. And it's self administered, Like the woman

751
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: has the mask and she breathes it when she feels

752
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: like she needs it, and at any point she can

753
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: be like nope, I want the epidural. Um. The thing

754
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: is so epidurals can be really expensive. Um nitris is

755
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: super cheap. It is super cheap. And again it's as

756
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: effective as ten to fifteen milligrams of morphine for taking

757
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: care of pain. So they're basically saying women should have

758
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: the option at least if they want to try it out. Uh.

759
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 1: It's a lot cheaper than an epidural. Uh safer And

760
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: they haven't um epidural I mean they're narcotics and epidurals say,

761
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of side effects, and

762
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: they really haven't found any side effects with that fifty

763
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: fifty mix under like a controlled supervise setting. Well, the

764
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: big fear though, is that aside from dizziness, the kid

765
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: is going to absorb some of this and there's going

766
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: to be neural cell death in the baby as it's delivered.

767
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: Is that has that been proven wrong? They don't think

768
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: there is any danger to the key aid so far,

769
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: because they said it's filtered through the lungs and uh

770
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 1: not like the narcotics that are filtered through deliver um.

771
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: So they said, so far they haven't found where it

772
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: hurts a baby in any way. Plus to let you

773
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 1: remember being born. I just think the self administration part

774
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 1: it is pretty interesting. Yeah, you know, it makes lets

775
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: a woman feel more in control, supposedly of their own

776
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: uh comfort. Right, So I'm all for it. Why not?

777
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, if it doesn't have any adverse effects,

778
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: why not. It is a pretty good question. Are you
