Speaker 1: show now? All right? Back to the show we recorded

107
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: several weeks back. Okay, Wow, the focus obviously on this

108
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: one is crying. If you notice the title, that shouldn't

109
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: come as much of a surprise. UM, I have a

110
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: little story for you. Um have you heard of the

111
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: movie Water for Elephants? Uh? Yeah, it's like Reese Witherspoon

112
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: and the dude from Twilight. Yeah. Emily saw that. Is

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: it any good? She enjoyed it? Well. I was researching

114
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: whether or not elephants can cry, and apparently at one

115
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: of the premiers, I think the premiere in Australia for

116
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: this movie, the elephant costar was there and it started

117
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: crying really and apparently everybody was really affected by this

118
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: elephant just crying in you know, the middle of public.

119
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: Didn't think the Australians, We're going to eat them. I

120
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: don't know what the elephant was thinking, And we're not

121
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: even certain whether the elephant was crying, because as far

122
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: as we can tell, humans are the only species that

123
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: cry emotionally as the result of an emotion. Yes, but

124
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: it is possible that elephants and guerrillas are the two

125
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: like as candidates as it stands now do as well.

126
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: But we're so far from understanding whether elephants do that.

127
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: We don't even know how often humans cry, let alone

128
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: whether elephants can cry for an emotion. Yeah, there's been

129
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: a lot more studies done on laughter and its benefits

130
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: than crying. I found out. Yeah, I've noticed, Chuck, we've

131
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: been doing this what for coming up on twenty years,

132
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: four years, we're coming up onto our fourth year eventually

133
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: this year. UM And I found like, when we encounter

134
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: stuff like this fields topics that haven't fully been sussed out,

135
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: there's two ways it can go. It's either loaded with

136
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: total bs hypotheses that like maybe makes sense in a

137
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: really eight year old common sense way UM or are

138
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: just filled with awesome like um ideas of just basically

139
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: our demonstrations of how great humanity can use its mind. Right,

140
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: this is the former, and I'm sorry for tapping on

141
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the table. I know that that's a new habit of mine,

142
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: and then it screws things up, but it's it's for emphasis. Yeah. Uh.

143
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,239
Speaker 1: As far as the gorilla thing, I can direct people

144
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: if you want to cry to the video of Cocoa

145
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: the gorilla sign language gorilla. Yeah. She uh. She had

146
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: a pet kitten at one point, and it's very cute

147
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: and you see this kitten and Cocoa bonding and it's

148
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: those videos are the best. Anyway, she accidentally breaks its

149
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: has to shoot her in the back of the head. No, no,

150
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: Gary Sinise. Actually I think it was a chokehold. Um.

151
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: But the cat of course gets out and gets hit

152
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: by a car and killed. And they have on tape

153
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: the the woman going and telling Cocoa that the kitten

154
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: is dead, and Coco I might start crying right now.

155
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: Coco starts making the signs for bad and sad and

156
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: frown and then cry and like, dude, you gotta see it.

157
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a weepy guy anyway, but I was

158
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: at my desk earlier just like fighting it back. But

159
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: then I really encourage you to go look at the video.

160
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: Right after that, Cocoa gets a new kitten. Oh yeah,

161
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: that'll just make you feel better all over again. Okay,

162
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad. Is it in like the replace screen? It's

163
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: one of the ones that pops up. Is the next thing.

164
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: It actually has a pop up while you're watching this,

165
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: like click on here to see Cocoa get a new kitten.

166
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it looks like Cocoa is very

167
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: much emotional. Whether or not Coco is actually crying, and

168
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: whether or not animals get emotional is under debate, and

169
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: that's a whole other topic in itself. Um, but I

170
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: guess the point is is we're we're only kind of

171
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: beginning to get a loose grasp on why we cry

172
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: and how we cry, and so the research is kind

173
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: of um uh insufficient, I guess. But we're just gonna

174
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: go through some of the ideas of what's behind crying.

175
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: We have something of a good grasp on the physiology

176
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah. And this whole thing, this guy that

177
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: that surmised about our ancestors, Yeah, this one that was

178
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: so weak. This is BS hypothesis number one. Do you

179
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: want to take? Yeah. Dr Paul D. McClean theorized that

180
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: our you know, cave ancestors would um, cremate the deceased

181
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: become overcome by emotions, and then the smoke would get

182
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: in their eyes, which would trigger reflex tears, which we'll

183
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: talk about. And um, then all of a sudden they

184
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: were just linked forever and crying or death and mourning

185
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: and crying, which and that was the birth of emotional tears.

186
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: I don't buy that one, any of I don't either,

187
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: but it does lead us pretty uh pretty uh segway

188
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: into what emotional tears are. Right there. One of three

189
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: types of tears that we've sussed out, um, the first

190
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: being basil tears, which with or without cocoa you've got

191
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: right now. We cry every day. Tend it what five

192
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: to announces? Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, and you were

193
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: you aware of that? Well, I didn't know it was

194
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: that much. It's almost a bottle of beer. Yeah, it's

195
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: a good point. Yeah, that makes me want to cry.

196
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Um yeah, I mean obviously your

197
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: eyes would dry out, So that's just your body's uh

198
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: taking care of itself by by working up these tears.

199
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: And most of that, UM, well, I guess just about

200
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: all of the five to ten ounces of basal tears, uh,

201
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: that you produce every day. Drain through your sinuses, your

202
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: scinus cavity instead of streaming down your cheeks, which you

203
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: might get stopped up. They sit and here a running

204
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: nose when you cry. But I get stopped up personally,

205
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: do you, yeah, like stops up my sinuses, um, my

206
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: nose ruins generally? Really? Yeah? Um? Well, what are tears?

207
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't think we even said that. Oh, tears are

208
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: liquid e secretions of fats, proteins, mucus oil, but for

209
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: the most part water um. And depending on the type

210
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: of tears, this is very significant. Though, depending on the

211
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: type of tears, the composition is going to be different.

212
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: So if you look at, um, say, reflex tears, which

213
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: are designed to um rid your eye of some sort

214
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: of irritant, right smoke? Onions? Onions? Do you want to

215
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: tell everybody how onions work? Yeah? I feel like it's

216
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: time that we finally explained that one not step off

217
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: the list. Uh. There's an enzyme called lachrymatory factor synthas

218
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: and that is released when you cut into the onion,

219
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: and then that converts amino acids to sol phenic acid,

220
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: and then that sulfenic acid turns into uh, sin roepan,

221
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: the theol s oxide, and that is what irritates your

222
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: lacrymal glands to cry when you cut an onion. Right,

223
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: and mine, really, I think I mentioned this before. Mine

224
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: really go hey, whire burns. It's it's pretty bad. So

225
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: I got Emily got me those little goggles everywhere. Can

226
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: you post a picture of you cutting onions wearing goggles?

227
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: I can't. Actually, I'd like we'll not cutting onions. But

228
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: I tried them on on Christmas Day when she got them,

229
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: same effect. But I'm saying the next time that you

230
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: cut onions wearing these goggles, I'd like to see that.

231
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Um So, yeah, you you also mentioned another important point,

232
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: the lacrimal gland. It's in the upper outer region of

233
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: your eye, and this is where tears are produced. That

234
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: um so, you've got basil tears, you've got reflex tears,

235
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: and then you have the emotional tears. The great grand

236
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: mystery of humanity and why we cry? Right right? Um

237
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: so with with emotional tears. Uh. From what we can

238
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: it is a great picture of you wearing goggle. That's

239
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: really great. They work too. Um you look like wow,

240
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: that's a great I gotta stop right there. Um. But

241
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: so with emotional tears, what we suspect is going on

242
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: is that the cerebrum, which registers sadness, um says, hey eyes,

243
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, says hey, endocrine system, you're feeling a

244
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: little blue. Why don't you go activate the lacrymal glands

245
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: and let's get the crying commenced, release the hormones. Yeah, um,

246
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't think it's any coincidence that you

247
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 1: that you expressed tears at the same time you're expressing emotion, right,

248
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. And that's what you were

249
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: kind of talking about earlier, the whole theory of whether

250
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: or not having a good cry it makes you feel better.

251
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: And you mentioned earlier that the composition of the tears

252
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: dippers and they collected let's just call them onion tears

253
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: for lack of a better well, we have reflex hears.

254
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: They collected onion tears, and they collected sad movie tears.

255
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: And uh, I found that the reflex onion tears were

256
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: what like ninety eight percent water, whereas the other ones

257
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: were chuck full of sad proteins like prolactin, which is

258
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: very much involved in the process of um producing breast milk,

259
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: hence the name. It's for lactating pro lactin. What else

260
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: are you gonna say that other one? Yes, I am chuck.

261
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: It's UH. Adreno corta co tropic hormones. Adrenal corte tropic

262
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: hormones to UM indicate high levels of stress. So that

263
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: makes sense, which is a commonly experienced thing while you're crying.

264
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: And then there's lucine and fallen episodes have just turned

265
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: into like this parade of me humiliating myself. Now you

266
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: did well. Lucine and cafollen, which is an endorphment that

267
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: reduces pain and improves moon. Yeah, so that it makes

268
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: sense that you would find these in tears when you

269
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: might not in emotional tears instead of reflex tears. The

270
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: problem is is that not all UM studies who have

271
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: looked into this, that have looked into this have found

272
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: that crying does make you feel better. There's been plenty

273
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: of studies that have found the opposite. Most studies, I

274
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't say most, but some studies have found UH that

275
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: there's no change whatsoever. People don't feel any better or worse.

276
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: And one study that required UM I think like like

277
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: twelve hundred. No, there were like twelve hundred account of

278
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: crying over like seventy days among like x number of

279
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: UM female college students. UM it found that that crying

280
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: was preceded by two days of low mood and proceeded

281
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: by two days of low mood. So on either side

282
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: of a crying incident, there was two bad days before

283
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: and after, so there wasn't necessarily an improved mood. Well,

284
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: and one of the studies that you have sent me

285
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: earlier kind of gave some reason behind this, which makes

286
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: sense to me. UM. One reason might be because laboratory

287
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: crying you may not be getting consolation, which might be

288
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: what makes you feel better when someone sees you crying

289
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: they came over to patch on the back and you know,

290
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: buck up, camper. And the other was that it's not

291
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: a realistic study. Oh well, the the helplessness factor, which

292
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: made a lot of sense to me, Like you're watching

293
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: the Sarah McLaughlin uh animals dying thing and a good

294
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: cry when that doesn't make you feeling better because animals

295
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: are still dying. So there's this helplessness like when you're

296
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: watching the sad movie that like I can't these characters.

297
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: So a good cry, is it gonna make me feel

298
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: any better? No, but it may in a real world

299
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: setting where you're crying and it's cathartic and somebody's making

300
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: you feel better and then also explaining to you how

301
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: things actually are better, and you're like right. So it's

302
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: kind of a tough nut to crack because when you

303
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: study something like this, they sit you down in a

304
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: lab and make you watch Brian's Song and you know,

305
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. It's a little clinical. Brian's song

306
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: is Brian looks very sad? Isn't that John Voight? Now

307
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: it was Jimmy Cohn And uh, I can't remember who

308
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: played Gayl Sayers, but um, yeah, it was the famous

309
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: story of the football player dying of cancer, Gayl Sayers

310
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: teammate very sad, you know, speaking of sad and dying. Um,

311
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: there's a whole I wish I would have looked it

312
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: up ahead of time. I read an article about people

313
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: who love these books but you know, like Sweet Valley High.

314
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: Imagine if each book was about a different Sweet Valley

315
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: High girl and they were all dying young, but they

316
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: were like the brave, like captain of the cheerleading squads,

317
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: a student class president, don't ever feel bad for me

318
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: kind of gals. But they always died at the end.

319
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: And there's like this series of like fifty books of

320
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: like young adult fiction that's by this one author and

321
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: it's all like dying young. I wonder if the purpose

322
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: of those was too, you know, prepare kids for losing

323
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: friends young, because that does happen ladies, where they're dying

324
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: all over the place. Was it a female author? You know, yes,

325
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: I'm interesting. I don't remember that. I'm sure somebody will, right,

326
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: and please do um So Japan you want to mention that. Yeah,

327
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: I even look this up to verify because it sounds

328
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: a little wacky. But you know, the Japanese, they're always

329
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: setting the standard for things like this. They have crying

330
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: clubs over there where they do believe that it makes

331
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: you feel better, so they'll get together as a group

332
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: and watch these sad movies or having read these books

333
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: and talk about them just to have a group cry.

334
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: But you also, you just hit something on the head.

335
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: And importently is that they believe that crying makes you

336
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: feel better. Apparently it's culturally bound. So yeah, if you're

337
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: in a if you live in a society that doesn't

338
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: think crying makes you feel better. Maybe you're kind of

339
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: a whisp for crying. You're less likely to report feeling

340
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: better after crying than somebody who lives in a society

341
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: like Japan where it's supported, yes, that makes sense, or

342
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: where people think that crying does make you feel better.

343
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: It's like zombies and I cry a lot. I'm a

344
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: very weepy guy. I know you are, and I think

345
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: it said one reason, Uh, we'll go ahead and give

346
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: away a secret. One reason they think men might cry

347
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: less because they sweat more. And if crying is a

348
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: way to release some of these build up of toxins,

349
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: then sweat would do that. But I sweat bs hypothesis,

350
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: I could cry. I've got an overactive bladder. I know.

351
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: I've seen you cry, sweat, and pe all at the

352
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 1: same time. Dude, I'm just constantly leaking fluids. I know

353
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't help, believe me, because there's always some kind

354
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: of fluid right behind it, and there's always another Coco

355
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 1: video coming up. I've I'm very eye rolly as a result.

356
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, thank you for that. Um So what else

357
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: we have? Well, let's talk about babies. When we start crying,

358
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: obviously is when we're a little uh crying newborns, which

359
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, you cry, you need help, you

360
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: want to be changed, You're totally you're you're helpless, useless,

361
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do, so you cry. I'm hungry

362
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: at everybody. Now, I'm sleepy, sleepy. I was looking into this,

363
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: chuck like that still doesn't quite make sense. Why babies cry.

364
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we take it for for you know, granted,

365
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: it's just babies cry, it's what they do. But when

366
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: did the first human baby cry? And why did the

367
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: first human baby cry? And I looked into it and

368
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: there was actually this cool study that put up a

369
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: few hypotheses that aren't necessarily be us. They're the very least,

370
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: very interesting of why humans started to cry. And it's

371
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: like based on natural selection, like the first few babies

372
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: that cried were selected one because it reduces infanicide, okay,

373
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: which is apparently very common in early early cultures. It

374
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: reduces yes, and here's why. It emotionally manipulates the parent

375
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: into not just abandoning the baby or leaving the baby

376
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: melicicits sympathy, yes, but it also um basically says, Hey,

377
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm a very healthy, fit baby. You don't want to

378
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: leave me behind. I'm gonna be great at picking berries

379
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: when yes, exactly. Now, if if I were the type

380
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: of baby just abandoned and leave for dead, I may

381
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: just not even be able to get a good cry going.

382
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: So it makes sense a little whimpering cry might not

383
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: be as strong, exactly. So it was that led to

384
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: natural selection of crying in babies, and that's why we

385
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: cry today. At least, that's that makes sense. That's one

386
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: of the better hypotheses I've run across. I was just

387
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: thinking my own hypothesis might be that, you know, back then,

388
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: it's not like the mother was always right over the

389
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: baby like they are today. No, that's not you. The

390
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: opposite is true. Oh really, there were more present. They

391
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: carried him everywhere. Well, then there goes my hypothesis. It's okay,

392
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: we I thought they had just part of science. Okay, no, no,

393
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. And actually that kind of

394
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: coincides with the reason why you would cry, because a

395
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: baby that cries is being abandoned and knows it. Right

396
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: when you're away from the mother for a very long time.

397
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: That means Mom's gone. She's like twenty clicks that way

398
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: and not coming back right. That's very sad. Reduces infanticide.

399
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: So babies cry differently as they grow, to communicate different

400
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: things in a in a in tune. Parent will tell

401
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: you that, like from the other room of that cry

402
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: probably means she needs to be changed. That cry means

403
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: he's hungry or has fallen out of his crib and

404
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: he's playing with power tools maybe you know. Uh, and

405
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: then uh at ten months they think that's when babies

406
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: start to cry to manipulate their parents for attention. And this,

407
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: by the way, I thought it was a very sexist article.

408
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: Did you notice some of the lines, oh, man, like, yeah,

409
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: and that's when your mascara runs. If the guy had

410
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: written this, could you imagine the backlash? No, I totally can.

411
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: I picked up on that as well. I know what

412
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: you're about to say. I couldn't even bring myself to

413
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: underline and I just ignored it completely. Well, I highlighted

414
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: it in green because I wanted to read it. Here's

415
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: what the line is. Some studies have reported that women

416
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: in particular continue this manipulative crying throughout their life in

417
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: order to manipulate others into giving them what they want,

418
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: for example, forgiveness, pity, or a diamond bracelet. I mean,

419
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. It is very I'm even offended. I

420
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: was too. I read that to Emily. She's like, are

421
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: you kidding me? The author is in trouble. Maybe she is. Um.

422
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: So you've got manipulative crying at about the age of

423
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: ten months, right, But there is manipulative crying as adults.

424
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say there's not, because there definitely is.

425
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: I think done it as a man. No, for what,

426
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: what did you want when you're young and emotional and

427
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: that your girlfriend breaks up with you and you just

428
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: want you just want her back, man, you just want

429
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: her back and maybe if you seem sad enough, she'll

430
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: feel sorry for you and take you back. So you

431
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: weren't sad, uh, yeah, if you weren't sad enough to

432
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: cry naturally, But I'm still working at the crocodile tears

433
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: just to uh. Crocodiles only try to excrete excess salt water. Well,

434
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: that's why they call them crocodile tiers, because there's nothing

435
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: a motive behind it, all right, moving on to adolescence, Well,

436
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: not quite yet. The adolescence. Uh, we should say that

437
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: up to adolescents. From the time that we're infants to adolescence,

438
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: boys and girls supposedly cry at about the same frequency

439
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: and amount, at least same frequency. There's not a lot

440
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: of um change or difference between the gender. But when

441
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: we do hit adolescents, and this one makes a lot

442
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: of sense, um voice, testosterone shoots up, and there's a

443
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: negative correlation with crying. It decreases. They can just get

444
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: angry with girls. They're crying actually increases. And there's a

445
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: positive correlation with estrogen production. Um, which that sounds kind

446
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: of sexist, but it's true physiologically speaking, it's true, right, Um.

447
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: And in conjunction with estrogen production, you've also got prolactin, which,

448
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: don't forget, is found in emotional tears. And a crying

449
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: researcher named is it William Fry William Fry and Muriel

450
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: trying the Mystery of tears? Okay, he Fry, I believe

451
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: actually in Alzheimer's researcher and he just did like crying

452
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: as a as an amusement. Yeah, he's one of those, um.

453
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: But he uh, he suggests that girls have about six

454
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: more prolactin in their bodies at any given time than men.

455
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: Um and as a result, they tend to cry more

456
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: and more frequently. Um four times as much as what

457
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 1: he says, Yeah, which is a lot. But again, no

458
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: one's really done a great, big, huge survey on how

459
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: often people cry. Yeah, this one, I don't know how

460
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: large it was, but it was a study, um the

461
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: head people record how many times they cried over the

462
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: period of one year. This one found women cried roughly

463
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: sixty four times compared to seventeen and men and everyone

464
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: underestimated men and women how much they would have cried.

465
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: But um, that seems low to me, or maybe I'm

466
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: just speaking personally as a weepy guy, you know, it's

467
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: like seventeen. I was like, I think sixty four is low.

468
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean I'll cry. And and something I

469
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: didn't see in here was crying over some over beauty.

470
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: That happens to me a lot too, or something that's

471
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: just so beautiful at a concert or a sunrise or something.

472
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: We look at that guy's light. Yeah, it's the most

473
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: beautiful thing I've ever seen. It is what do you

474
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: mean it a concert? Well, like the music or something like.

475
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: I saw the the Oh De Joy at Carnegie Hall

476
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,479
Speaker 1: one time. When that kicked in, I was so like

477
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: overwrought I started crying. I um, I just I thought

478
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: Bonnie Prince Billy concert. Not No, I would cry at

479
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: a Bonny Prince Billy concert with the music moved me enough.

480
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: Um I I want to say, on behalf of everybody,

481
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing so much of yourself in this one.

482
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: It's making the whole thing way better. I don't mind.

483
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, who cares, No, it certainly doesn't. Rosie Greer says, so. Um.

484
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: So let's see men also here we arrive at BS

485
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: hypothesis three. Okay, men cry less chuck because they supposedly

486
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: have smaller tear ducks or lacrymal glance. Cry fewer tears,

487
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: no less volume volume because women have larger Okay, well

488
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: you think that's BS totally Yeah, yeah, well maybe women

489
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: are equipped with larger ones because they cry more. You

490
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: think maybe most of the hyper season research I'm crying.

491
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: It's done in the back of cocktail napkins for some reason.

492
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: According to Women's Health Magazine, though Josh, men typically only

493
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 1: cry when they suffer a major loss and I find

494
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: this to be true for a lot of guys. Is

495
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: usually it's anger and frustration. Uh, or anger is how

496
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: they express frustration and stress, whereas a woman might be

497
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: more prone to cry if they're frustrated or stressed. Yeah,

498
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: that's probably been true for me, and I'm a weepy guy.

499
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: I think though, that it's a difference in threshold. Sure,

500
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: possibly because I think frustration and anger can lead to

501
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: tears pretty pretty frequently when you reach that point. Yeah,

502
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: I think it's it's just a difference in threshold. There's

503
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: a lower threshold perhaps in women, maybe not. I don't

504
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like that would be my take

505
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: on that. Or maybe men maybe the the stereotypical his

506
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: street of men not being allowed to cry, or it's

507
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: just a sign of weakness. Maybe that leads to even

508
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: more frustration, so it's expressed his anger. Which is funny

509
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: because there is a study that's mentioned in this article that, um,

510
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: they did a survey of people saying, you know, uh,

511
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: does men crying bother you? And do you think it

512
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: bothers other people? And most people were like, it doesn't

513
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: really bother me, but yeah, I'm sure it bothers everybody else,

514
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: and like virtually everybody responded that way. So in other words,

515
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: people don't mind, they're just not talking about it. Well,

516
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: it's just like this this social ideal or societal ideal

517
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: that men shouldn't cry, and other people are bothered by it,

518
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: even though no one's really bothered by it. Thanks to

519
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: Rosie Greer, it's called the Greer effect. He was a

520
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: football player too. I don't know if I mentioned that.

521
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: Cool dude. He was also in uh, The Thing with

522
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: Two Heads, The Thing with Two Heads, The Man with

523
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: two Brains. He and oh man, it wasn't like I

524
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: don't think it was. It may have been William Holden.

525
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: It was a a rich um scientist who had his

526
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: head attached to a convict name played by Rosy Greer's body,

527
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: and they were like this odd couple. It was like

528
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: a creature feature Saturday shocker type. Never heard of the

529
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: seventies The Thing with Two Heads is think is what

530
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: it's called. Great movie. Trying to get that immediately that

531
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: in The Incredible Melting Man. I never heard of that one.

532
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: That was a good one. Was that because of a

533
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: at the ice age. I remember, that was my hypothesis.

534
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: You have a good memory. All right, Well there's our

535
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: tangent for this episode. Um. Getting back to men crying, though,

536
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: they have done some research and some people think that

537
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: a note noted man crying in public is actually good

538
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: for your career and good for your pr like John Bayner. Sure,

539
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow. Now, do you remember when I think Florida

540
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: lost the Tennessee and Tebow cried? It was there was

541
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: some guy who's like, oh, Tebow, your tears taste so sweet.

542
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: It was beautiful to see. Yeah, I don't. I don't

543
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: dislike him as much now though, because of uh, I'm

544
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: not like some big fan. But I found that once

545
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: a player leaves or coach leaves the University of Florida,

546
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: like I love Coach Spurrier, you're you disgusted me for

547
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: even saying that. Now, once they leave Florida, I don't

548
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: have that time to keep that to yourself. I've found

549
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 1: that that's not the case with me. Like I hate Spurrier, still,

550
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: I can't stand Tebow Urban Meyer like everybody, I can't

551
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: stand anybody who has Florida stank on him. Rex Grossman,

552
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't care who you're talking about that. I I

553
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: can't stand any of them. Well, you know, I like

554
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: that kind of consistency. I just got so angry accidentally

555
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: licked the mic cover. That's grass. Um. What else have

556
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: we got here? Oh? Well, why why we cry? Um?

557
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: There's again the fields wide open for any quack to

558
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: come up with an idea and get it published in

559
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: an article on how stuff works keeps us healthier? Yeah,

560
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: by removing toxins stress related hormones. But but your pooh, pooh,

561
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: But do you remember when we did how saunas work,

562
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: and we're talking about how, yes, you have um kidneys

563
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: and you're bladder and your euretha euretha. To get rid

564
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: of all these toxins, you don't really need to sweat,

565
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: but sweating does get rid of some of it, and

566
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: every little bit helps conceivably, Well, these stress related hormones

567
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: do exit your body through your tears. And I think

568
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: it's beyond just the toxins. I think that I believe

569
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: that holding onto the these negative emotions is not good

570
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: ultimately for for your heart and your body. I think,

571
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think a good cry could help. I've

572
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: seen it, and you've experienced. I've experienced, you've seen it.

573
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: Don't back off now, yeah, you're right. Um, people from

574
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: colitis and ulcers tend to have a poor view of crying. Uh,

575
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: then people who don't have that, which apparently suggests that

576
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: if you don't cry, you're gonna end up with ulcers

577
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: in colitis. I don't know about that one, that's true.

578
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: You gave me something interesting on depression. Uh. They studied

579
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: forty four people with mood disorders. I guess the forty

580
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: person just they couldn't show up, you know. Uh, And

581
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: they said that they were in fact more prone to

582
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: crying than than people who they were comparing them to

583
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: who didn't have the mood disorder. But if you had

584
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: severe depression, a lot of times you had an inability

585
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: to cry altogether, which is really sad to me. Yes,

586
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: that's very sad. I guess it's just that dead inside

587
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: feeling that's awful. Um. There's also symptoms of crying excessively

588
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: apparently some people with PTSD, right. Uh. One of the

589
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 1: symptoms is excessive crying postpartum. Yeah, postponton depression, which I

590
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: didn't know this. Nine of women suffered from postpartum depression

591
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: following birth. What do you think it was? Lower? Yeah? Really,

592
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was that prevalent. Yeah, I did,

593
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: and I guess it would have to follow birth to

594
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: be postpartum depression. That was redundant. Uh. In this interesting

595
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: study in Israel, they had men sniff sailing solution compared

596
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: to real human tears, and that they found that when

597
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: they smelled the real tears or testosterone dipped and brain

598
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: scan showed less activity in areas associated with sexual arousal.

599
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: So that made good sense to me because if someone

600
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: if someone's really upset and crying, it's not sexually stimulating

601
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: to to you, unless unless you're you're real sick person.

602
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: So I would say it it's its sympathy and lowers

603
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 1: your sexy time feelings, which which kind of um gives

604
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: it a which kind of supports the idea that like

605
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: a social bonding theory of crying. Yeah, you know, you're

606
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: signaling to somebody else that you're not aggressive, you're you're

607
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: you're submitting, you're you're allowing yourself to be vulnerable. So

608
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: he just lay off of you, hold me, don't hit me. Yeah,

609
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,240
Speaker 1: put the rock down. Did you ever see the doctor

610
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: cats about the man hugs. I've seen all of them,

611
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: but I don't remember that. There was one bit where

612
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: he was talking about the man hugs. When the man

613
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: hug and they slap. He was like, men have to

614
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: do that because I'm holding you, but i'm hitting you. Right, yeah, yeah,

615
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: I do remember that, right, doctor kats so good? You

616
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,040

638
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: I thought it would write in to tell you about it.

639
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: I'm an Atlanta girl. Originally, he was currently teaching English

640
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 1: at a kindergarten in Germany. Don't I mean garden of children?

641
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: I think so. Uh. In the last week before Christmas,

642
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: I showed my kids a Muppet Christmas Carol, one of

643
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: the best Christmas movies ever. If he asked me, and

644
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: as I'm sure you know, there was. There are several

645
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: ghosts in the story, but since it's a kids movie,

646
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: I assumed it would not be too scary for my

647
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: wee laws. Well. I showed the first half on Monday,

648
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: and then I was out sick for a couple of days.

649
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: When I came back on Thursday, I learned that one

650
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: of my little girls, six year old Anka, had barely

651
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: slept since she had seen the movie. Apparently the ghosts

652
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: were too scary for her, and her mother was apparently

653
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: stink sala, which is an excellent German word meaning stinking angry,

654
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: so she was stink salau. In an effort to run

655
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: damage control, I showed Anka and a couple of other

656
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,120
