Oh yeah, the TV show wasn't that either 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: recommended that to me. I don't think so. I've only 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: seen like one episode of it. Oh, which is the 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: show that you said started it all? The Shield? Oh no, no, 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I like the shield. Okay, so it's like 11 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: the shield would be like you like the Stones or 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: the Beatles, you like the wire or the shield? Way 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: before this was OZ. I thought the Wire was before OZ. 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: OZ was before the Wire. Yeah, by like a decade. 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm taking the wire. Yeah, I've heard nothing of good things. 16 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: The one that I think it was like dead Wood. 17 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I saw an episode of I was like, I don't 18 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: have room in my life for this right now? That 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: was so great? Yeah, I'm sure, yeah, but yeah, I 20 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: was just like, I can't commit to this. The wires 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: a slow burn. It's like, um, that was before they 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: were trying to like blow you out of the water 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: every week with some like amazing final scenes. It's it's 24 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: almost a documentary ask. Oh nice, Yeah, it's really good. Yeah, 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: I guess I kind of picked up on that the 26 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: episode I saw it was exciting. Well, now I gotta 27 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: watch ODZ too, Yeah you do. I was all piste off. 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna impress you and you'd be like, 29 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: your homework is done. Yeah, no, you have a lot 30 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: to do. Chuck all right. With OZ, they think there's 31 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: at least like three or four seasons. Well, that's an 32 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: odd start to this episode. It is because in this episode, oh, 33 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: Jerry's here by the way. Uh. In this episode, um, 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: we're talking about your body, yes, which I guess the 35 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: human body was on display to some degree in different 36 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: ways in OZ. But that's not what we're talking about really. 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: In this we're talking about how like you sitting there, 38 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: you probably feel pretty good right now. You may be showered, 39 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: you just got a haircut recently, like haircut, your hair 40 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: smells like pencil shavings. Uh. And uh, let's see what 41 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: else did you know that? Like a haircut to you 42 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: me smells like recently, um, sharpened pencil. I did not 43 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: know that isn't that we every haircut weird like a 44 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:30,239 Speaker 1: haircut does, like cutting the grass, smell like almonds. And 45 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: then she has a well she's okay, she's fine. She yeah, 46 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: she just smells pencil shavings with haircuts. But um, you're 47 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: you're feeling pretty good. Back to my little intro um, 48 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: and by you, I'm talking to everybody out there. Well, 49 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: you don't realize is this You're disgusting. You're disgusting bag 50 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: of nastiness. Basically if you really want to get down 51 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: on a granular cellular uh even just an internal level, Yeah, 52 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: you're you're gross. Thank you. Yeah, I'm gross too. I'm 53 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: not sitting in judgment like I I have all of 54 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 1: these things as well. Most likely, Um well yeah, I 55 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: mean it's not like I like perspective. I just it's 56 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: it's when you say you, it's like uh J McNerney novel. 57 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: You know, it's like put you in like the first 58 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: person of the action. So all of a sudden, you're 59 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: the one who has a coke problem and it's like 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: four in the morning on a Tuesday in Manhattan and 61 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: you have to go to work in two hours. You know, 62 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: it has more impact when you're saying that. Yeah, I'm 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna nod and act like I know what 64 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: that reference was. It's a bright Lights, Big City reference. Okay, 65 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: surely you've read that. I never read that. You haven't 66 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: read that. That was awesome. Yeah, it was good. It 67 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: was good. It was in that swid movie, the whole Yeah, 68 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: it's in that whole Bread eastern ellis vain sure like, 69 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: uh yeah, party in too much less than zero kind 70 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: of thing. Yeah, I read um well, I read American 71 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: Psycho and lesson Zero. Okay, yeah, yeah, this is one 72 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: of his contemporaries is still around. J mc McNerney or 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: Jane mkearney something like that. They both like their drugs 74 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: and loud music and yeah, dancing and Michael J. Fox 75 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: is in the movie Bright Lightspeag City. Anyway, it's a 76 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: good book, but it's all in like that first person. 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: Where is that? Second person? Yeah? Second person familiar? Anybody 78 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: your gross? Let's get to why chucky. So we're gonna 79 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: talk about some of the gross things going on inside 80 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: the body. And I think this article had ten but 81 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: since we've covered bacteria and poop so thoroughly. Plus it's 82 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: a long standing stuff. You should have tradition to never 83 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: do all ten of any ten list. And and it's 84 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: we should also say is arbitrary that all lists on 85 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: how stuff works in and ten I think, yeah, it's 86 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: a nice round number. Um. Alright, so I guess we'll 87 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: start with eyelash mites, um, which I didn't know about 88 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: until now, did you? No? I didn't either. Mites are 89 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: little arthur pods there in the same family as ticks, 90 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: and um. They, if you are generally an older person, 91 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: are living on your eyelashes. Yeah, and not just your eyelashes. 92 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: There's actually two types of what are called dermodex mites 93 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: or demo decks. I'm sorry. Demo is uh, it's basically 94 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: Latin for lard, and dex is a boring insect, So 95 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: it's a fat, boring insect that demodex might And you 96 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: have two kinds, ones that live in your hair follicles 97 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: and the one that live in your pores basically from 98 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: what I understand. Yeah, dogs, there's another kind for dogs too. Well. 99 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: There's like tens of thousands of of types of demodex mites, 100 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: but there's only two that live on humans, and they 101 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: live on our faces. Yeah, and like I said, more 102 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: likely if you're older, just because as you age you 103 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: produce more oils like see them. Kids don't produce a 104 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: lot of see them, So you're probably not gonna have 105 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: a child with eyelash mites. If you do, then so 106 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: services is probably gonna come after, although they won't be 107 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: able to tell because these seems are very tiny, like you. 108 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: They apparently move around at night. There's a really good, um, 109 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: very exhaustive article on demodex might by science writer Ed Young. 110 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,119 Speaker 1: Are you familiar with him, Uh, the Youngster? Yeah? Yeah, dude, 111 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: speaking of stirs, you know Ed the Grabster Ed Grabanowski, 112 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: who writes some of the best articles that have formed 113 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: the basis for some of the best episodes of stuff 114 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: You should know. He finally came out and claimed his 115 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 1: birthright on Twitter. I saw that he said I am 116 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: the Grabster, I'm I'm I'm coming out and saying hi, 117 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: And I did. And I had never seen his face before. 118 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: I had once because he commented on some other oh yeah, 119 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: or like a Dungeons and Dragons forum or something like that. 120 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: It came across the comment and it was pretty much 121 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: the same picture. Yeah, it's definitely kind of weird because 122 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean, if anyone the Grabster is almost like the 123 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: fourth stuff you should know team member, you know, like 124 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: we probably covered more of his articles than anyone else 125 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: I would guess, so, so welcome Ed anyway, Yeah, into 126 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: the world. Ed Young had a good one on demo 127 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: decks mites on Discover magazine's blog. Um, it's basically everything 128 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: you could ever want to know about them, and I 129 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: think that's even the title of it too. Well. They, 130 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: like you said, they move around at night because they 131 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: don't like light. Um at a very slow pace eight 132 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: to sixteen millimeters per hour, and you can't see them, 133 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: but they're microscopic there below the threshold of human sight. Yeah. 134 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: And while it might sound gross for your grandparents to 135 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: have mites in their eyelashes, Um, there's really no trouble 136 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: with them. They're not going to cause you any pain 137 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: or suffering generally. Yeah, they think it's possible that one 138 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: of the two varieties are responsible for rosatia UM and right, 139 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: if you're um particularly sensitive skin wise, you may find 140 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: them irritable. But for the most part, you probably have, 141 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: especially if you're over age sixty, you probably do have 142 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: demodex mites living in your face and just don't even 143 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: know it, and they're crawling across it at night while 144 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: you sleep. Um. And I found another little interesting mite 145 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: fact today that was just in the news. Um, there's 146 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: a southern California Mike called the Para Tarso Thomas Macro 147 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: Palace played by Brendan Fraser. Now I think it's Shyola booth. Um. 148 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 1: Brendan Fraser. Man, remember he was in Man. Yeah, a 149 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: good one with Polly Shore and Shawan Austin had like 150 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: the early nineties Triumvirate. Sean wasn't that Yeah, I believe 151 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: he was the street man. Um. So this might has 152 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: just been recorded as the fastest land animal beating out 153 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: the cheetah. Wow, this might move three two body lengths 154 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: per second. So obviously it's tiny, but that's super fast 155 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: because the cheetah only moves sixteen body links the second. Yeah, 156 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: so it's the new fastest animal. Well. Remember I think 157 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: it was the cockroach episode where we figured out like 158 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: that's the true measure of speed when you're comparing different 159 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: sized things, because remember the cockroachs can move like fifty 160 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: I think body links a second, which is way faster 161 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: than that, is fast. Well, my hat has been taken 162 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: off for this. Might it's the demo DECKX might. No, 163 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: it's not. I to know that was. That would be 164 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: a lot of eyelash to cover. Okay, well let's say 165 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: we move on, all right, We'll go from the eyelash 166 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: over a little bit to the ear, where you may 167 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: or may not know. You have something called serum gross 168 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: inside seremon. I like it either way. I think any 169 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: anything with the word s e r sounds sort of oily. 170 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: It's c e r oh is it c e r 171 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: U m e n h. Yeah, which I guess you 172 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: can make it with a hard seat like Cruman. No, 173 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: I don't think so. If you're a German you could. 174 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: But so you tell my ear wax though and Layman's 175 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: terms ear wax. Everyone's got it and we don't like it. 176 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: Americans spend about sixty million North Americans, so I guess 177 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: that includes our hat and our pants spend more than 178 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars a year h on ear cleaning products. 179 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: And what's crazy is a lot of those ear cleaning products, UH, 180 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: including cotton swabs attached to sticks, generic generic um those 181 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: actually supposedly are detrimental to or counterproductive to cleaning ear 182 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: wax out because your ear wax is produced in the 183 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: outer third of your ear. When you use a cotton 184 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: tip or anything cotton swab, yeah, or anything even your finger, 185 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: and you push it into your ear canal, yeah, you're 186 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: not removing your X. You're pushing it further in and 187 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: it's not meant to be in there, and it doesn't 188 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: go in there unless you jam it in there. So 189 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: when you're using some sort of swab or anything to 190 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: clean out your ear X, you're you're doing the opposite. 191 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: You're creating what can become a hardened build up, and 192 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: then you really have problems. Yeah, like real problem the 193 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: ear is pretty much self cleaning. Um. Real block edge 194 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: only occurs and about six percent of people. Um. But 195 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: you might know that you have an impactation if you 196 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: have decreased hearing, your dizziness or pain, or if it 197 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: sounds like you got your fingers in your ears or 198 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: ringing or itching or drainage. That means you've either had 199 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: it and happened naturally and you're one of the six percent, 200 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: or you've stuffed it in there with a cotton swab 201 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: and not done yourself any favors that in elvo grease 202 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: mixed together. Not good. Can we talk about your handling too, 203 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: sure you know the deal with your handling, right. What 204 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: what they claim is that you have this cone of paper, Um, 205 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: what is it? Like a waxy paper? You light it 206 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: on fire and stick in ear ear and it's supposed 207 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: to create a vacuum supposedly that sucks out this uh wax. 208 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: That's not true. It is a big, big falsehood sold 209 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: to you by the makers of ear candles. And they 210 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: can actually be dangerous and they do not create a 211 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: vacuum and they do not pull wax out of your ears. 212 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: So if you're an ear candler, you're doing the wrong 213 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: thing because doctors say it's can be dangerous. Um. And 214 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: it's actually illegal. They have them in the US, but 215 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: it's illegal to sell them making any claims. Oh I 216 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: thought you're gonna say, they're just straight up illegal. No. 217 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: But you can't like if you notice ear kindling packages, 218 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: can't say anything about like has like increases your hearing 219 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 1: or is medically sound. Um. And if you've seen the 220 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: candles rolled open and all that disgusting stuff that didn't 221 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: come from your ear, that's that's a product of the 222 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: burning of the paper, Is that right, Yeah, so it's 223 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 1: just a bunch of bunk. So apparently if you do 224 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: have uh what if you believe you have a hardened 225 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: build up of ear wax in your ear canal, the 226 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: first thing to try is just a couple of drops 227 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: of mineral oil. Yeah, because basically all that ear wax 228 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: build up is is it's dried ear wax. Like you said, 229 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: ear wax is part of a self cleaning process. Anytime 230 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: you chew or move your jaw, you're actually moving the 231 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: ear wax further and further out beside your ear and 232 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: then you can just kind of, you know, rub it out, 233 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: or if you're a gross person, you just leave it 234 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: and let it get caught up in your ear hair 235 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: for some reason. But if you have a build up, 236 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: you just just a little bit of mineral oil will 237 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: kind of re constitute it a little bit and so 238 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: it drains out. Yeah, I guess it'll work itself back 239 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: out again. Yeah. Yeah. Um I used the cotton swabs occasionally, 240 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 1: but um, I try to be responsible and like be 241 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: aware of not jamming things down in there and trying 242 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: just like swab along the outer outer thing. I do 243 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: not use swabs in my ears are perfect perfectly clean, 244 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah they are. Um, I do use the end of 245 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: a football though. That seems to work. I have great 246 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: memories about um my mother treating me with warm oil 247 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: for ear aches when I was a kid. For some reason, 248 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: it's just a very comforting feeling. I remember that warm 249 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: oil like filling up my ear and it closing. Yeah. Yeah, 250 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: and it worked. Yeah, I think it helped the ear ache. 251 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: And it's just it's just one of those soothing, like 252 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: mom things from when I was a kid. I didn't 253 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: have I mean, I have had ear aches before, but 254 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: I didn't have them chronically. You mean, did I guess too? 255 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, that just seems so awful to have, like 256 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: chronic ear aches. Yeah, I had bloody noses and ear aches. Weird, 257 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: did you fall down a lot or no? And I 258 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: haven't had a bloody nose and like since I was 259 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: a kid, But yeah, I remember kids who had bloody 260 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: noses a little like like chronically. I wouldn't say mine 261 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: was chronic. I wasn't. Like it just seems like you know, 262 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: now when you look around, if there's somebody with clean 263 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: X like sticking out of their nose, you're like, oh 264 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: my god, are you okay? But when you're a kid, 265 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: it's like commonplace, Like half of your class has clean 266 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: X chicking out of their nose at any time. It's 267 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: just I wonder what that is. We'll have to do 268 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: how bloody knows is work? Yeah, or we could do 269 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: a fallow up to this Why kids are so disgusting? Yeah, 270 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: kids are especially gross even though they lacked dermodex. Your demodex. Miight? Um, 271 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: all right, you ready for another one? Yeah, this one's 272 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: so gross. Uh. Lipoma or fatty deposits is something that 273 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: you have in your body. Um, well, once you go ahead, 274 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: explain about fatty cells, period and why these might want 275 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: to leave that scene. Actually, we don't even know what 276 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: causes this still, No, I mean, like you accumulate fat 277 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: in your body through your metabolic processes, Like different different 278 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: macro nutrients are convert in the liver I think too fat, right, 279 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: So the fats are generally stored in like certain areas 280 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: like around your gut, like in your lower back, in 281 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: your buttocks, and your breasts. Like there's just places where 282 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: fat normally goes. That doesn't mean like that's where it 283 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: has to go and technically, fat build up can happen anywhere, 284 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: and when it happens in a place that just seems 285 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: kind of weird. We've dubbed those like pomas or fatty deposits, 286 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: which are technically a benign form of a soft tissue tumor. 287 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: And it's just a bunch of fat cells that have 288 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: like come up on your face or your neck or 289 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: something where you're just like, man, this is not a 290 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: good day. Yeah, your neck, shoulders, arms, upper back, upper thoughts, 291 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: in your butt or where you're most likely to get them. 292 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: And uh, it's between the skin and the muscle. And 293 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: it's just like a little sort of soft, doughy lump 294 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: that you can move around with your finger. Yeah, and 295 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: it touches squishes around. Because most of the time it's 296 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: not painful. And if it is painful, um, it's recommended 297 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: that you go have a doctor check it out pretty quick. Yeah. Um, 298 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: it's probably not any cause of alarm. If you have 299 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: one um period, like you said, if it starts to 300 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: hurt though, or if it ruptures and oozes anything, then yeah, 301 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: that's when you should go to the doctor. The problem 302 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: is they don't tend to really go away. They don't 303 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: once they once they arrive, they either won't grow much 304 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: beyond that or they'll grow very slowly. But the problem 305 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: is they don't reverse course, and just pushing them isn't 306 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: going to push him back down and spread them out. 307 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: So you generally have two options when you have a 308 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: lipoma that you don't want, and that's liposuction, which may 309 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: or may not be effective, and then surgical removal, which 310 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: is apparently like an impatient local and aesthetic procedure that 311 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: you can just go and have it done. If you 312 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: have a high pain threshold and a lot of gaulls, 313 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: you can technically do it yourself. But you don't want 314 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 1: to do that. And let me just reiterate, you don't 315 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: want to do that. That was a total joke. Do 316 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: not remove your life poema as yourself. No, although my 317 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: um I go to the dermatologist occasionally get little skin 318 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: tags removed. Is there any kind of local anesthetic for that? Yeah, 319 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: they do, just a quick little uh uh injection. But 320 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't even think they need to. And my doctor, 321 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: the point I was making was my g P said, 322 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: you know you can do that yourself. I said, really, yeah, 323 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: if you want to just get some super sharp you 324 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: know plyers or scisters or something not plyers, but you 325 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: know snippers and get some bolt cutters. Yeah. Oh man, um, yeah, 326 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,160 Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised to hear him say that. Yeah, 327 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: just do it yourself, because doctors love money. I know, 328 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, they want your money. Well, he's not my dermatologist. 329 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: My dermatologist probably be like, no, no, was he like 330 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: your plumber or something? No, my gph. They love money, 331 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 1: their doctors. How about mucus. Mucus sounds great. Uh, let's 332 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: cover it right up for this message. Okay, mucus. Uh, 333 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Boogers and mucus and snot Let's 334 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: are you a snotty person? You're not very snotty. I'm 335 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: not snotty because I'm not. I don't have allergies, and 336 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: I think that's people with allergies are definitely snottier. Oh yeah, 337 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: for sure, Emily sadly is very snotty. Yeah, Well, snot 338 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: is a snot production. Mucus production is a is part 339 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: of the immune response to things like irritants a k 340 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: A buffalo wing sauce. Yeah, um, and people who drink milk. 341 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: It can be activated by that sometimes. Yeah, milk can 342 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: make people kind of snotty. Um, But mucus production is 343 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: not strictly the result of an infection or an invasion 344 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: or an irritation. Uh. It's a very natural, beautiful biological 345 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: process that's ongoing every day. Yeah. I mean, we need 346 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: mucus in our body. It acts as a lubricant and 347 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: a liner of things like your stomach um. And we'll 348 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: get to stomach acid later. But if it wasn't for mucus, 349 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: then you would be in big trouble in your stomach. Um. 350 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 1: Your body makes about a quarter to a half a 351 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: gallon a quarter to a half a gallon of mucus 352 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: a day. Again, yeah, your body makes a quarter to 353 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: a half gallon of mucus to day. I think you 354 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: swallow like a leader of that or something. Yeah, I 355 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: think so. I can't remember. I remember reading that earlier though, 356 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: And we should say, for our friends who are listening 357 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: outside of the US and Liberia, that's one to two 358 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: leaders a day of mucus that your body produces. Yeah, yeah, 359 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: which I have to say. And I feel like a 360 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: chump for not looking it up and not thinking about 361 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: it until now, Like, why where does it go? Do 362 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: you pee it out? No? I mean if you're swallowing, 363 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't go into your stomach, okay, but then you 364 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: you expel the stuff that's in your stomach one way 365 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: or another. It was probably part of your poop. I'm 366 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: sure it's part of it. But I mean, like, I mean, 367 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: where did your mucus go? Yeah? Oh, man, I wish 368 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: I would have thought of this before, because that's a 369 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: great question. Well, and the angel question if you're sick, 370 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: is it make you healthier or not as healthy to 371 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: swallow your mucus? I don't know, do you know? Yeah? 372 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: I think I looked it up and I think it's 373 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: not supposed to make any difference. So um, I've found 374 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: that you know how mucus turns green, and it's a 375 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: sure sign of an infection. Not necessarily true, right, No, 376 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: it does mean that you probably do have an infection 377 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: going on, or at the very least your body thinks 378 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: it does, do um, But it doesn't. It's not. It 379 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: doesn't indicate the presence of bacteria in your mucus. That's 380 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: not what turns it green. There's a type of white 381 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: blood cells that um have a greenish tint, and when 382 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: it's fighting off an infection. When they accumulate in your mucus, 383 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: they turn it kind of greenish color, yellow green. So 384 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: it's actually a type of white blood cell that's making 385 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: your mucus green. But it probably means that you have 386 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: some sort of infection there. Yeah, And if you're sick 387 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: and you're hacking up that yellowy greeny brown stuff, then 388 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: it's disheartening at least just concerning. That's the time to 389 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: apply mind over matter and be like, nope, I'm not 390 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: getting sick. I don't care if my mucus is yellow. 391 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: That's your whole thing. It works knock on wood, um 392 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: so dry mucus. It is called the boogers, and uh, 393 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: those are in your nose. And you're gonna tell them 394 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: about the video? Oh yeah, if you want to see. 395 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: Almost posted it to the Facebook page and it's just 396 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: like now, yeah, yeah, there's a video on YouTube. It's 397 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: something about dr removes Um Booker from Hell from man's 398 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: nose and are seconds of your not recommending you watch 399 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: it that you'll never forget. I can say this, I 400 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: was not prepared for how large what came out of 401 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: that man's nose at all. I thought, well, I'm sure, 402 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: this will be interesting. I didn't know anything could get 403 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 1: that large and either one stay in there or be 404 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: be braw it out. It's it's rough. It's like it's 405 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: a cathartic nauseating experience to watch this thing. It is 406 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: And I didn't listen to the video, so I don't 407 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: know if it was. Was it a booger? Do you know? 408 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: Did he say? I mean, yeah, I believe so. Yeah. 409 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: I didn't listen to it. They just are like, He's like, wow, 410 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: now you can see why it was so uncomfortable. Yeah, 411 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure, but boogers are nothing but dry mucus and um, 412 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: they're actually I tried to look up why children eat 413 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: their boogers? Yeah, muco flagi, Yeah, that's right, or if 414 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: you're really into it, rhino tellvimania. So it's a mania. Well, 415 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: I guess it can be. And I think they found 416 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: people with obsessive compulsive people pick their nose more, which 417 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: sort of makes sense. But why do kids eat their boogers? 418 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't come up with a definitive answer other than 419 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: they think it's like our natural instinct because it may 420 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: make you healthier, and that eating your boogers could be 421 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: like a injection of of immunity for your immune system 422 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: because of the bacteria and stuff. I don't think little 423 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: kids are smart enough to think this. Well, no, that's 424 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They're not smart enough, but they just 425 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: it's their instinct to do so. And it is all 426 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: people's instinct if you believe. If you believe some people 427 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: to eat your own boogers, who says that. The people 428 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,719 Speaker 1: that say that's why kids do it, It's because it's 429 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: our natural instinct as humans to do so because it 430 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: helps keep us healthy. Yeah. Hey, it's really new research. 431 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: I'm not like, I'm not making this stuff. I gotta 432 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: check that out. Yeah, and I'm not endorsing it. I'm 433 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: just saying, you know, like I'm I'm a tissues are 434 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: the way to get it out. Supposedly picking it, uh 435 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: can like cause more problems because bacteria on your fingers, 436 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: and doctor says I wouldn't get so many nose pleads 437 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: if I kept my finger. I'm a fan of the 438 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 1: snot rocket though, which I'm trying to teach Emily to do, 439 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: but she's not very good at it. Oh yeah, so gross, dude, 440 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: do you really like doing that? Not? In like if 441 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: I have a choice. If I'm like out for a 442 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: run in the wintertime, I don't let snot just run 443 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: all over my face. I blow it out real quick. 444 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: I would just rather wipe it on my shirt. That's 445 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: not gross. I don't know it's gross, but at least 446 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: it's like gross. No, that's gross. Man, you just turn 447 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: my stomach not rocket. Um, I'm gonna bring back the hanky, 448 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: are you? Yeah? That seems so uncivilized. It was so 449 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: gross to me as a child. I remember seeing the 450 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: old men in church that would just blow just copious 451 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: amounts of snot and to that thing, fold it up 452 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: and put it back in their pocket. And you're like, 453 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: you're not gonna eat that, don't you know what? Help? 454 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: And then my nose will bleed and then just walk off. Alright, 455 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: So that's enough on booger's in mucus. Huh again, my 456 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: stomach is not okay right now? All right, So we 457 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: should talk about gas because and that was fascinated with 458 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: the notion that everyone farts. As a child, I used 459 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: to think about the least likely person in the world 460 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: to fart and just laugh and laugh, like, who would 461 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 1: you come up with something? Yeah, Godda, your the Queen 462 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: of England, stuff like that. But now it's more like 463 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: Cape Blanchet or people that I consider to be like 464 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: refined um. But everyone farts and everyone burps. Yes, it's 465 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: a part of health, you know. And supposedly if you 466 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: um hold your try to hold your flatulence, and there's 467 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: an urban legend that it's very bad for you. It 468 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: just makes it better later. Well, the gas comes out 469 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: one way or another. Um and your belch and your 470 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: flatulence are not the same thing. It's not like the 471 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 1: same piece of gas or volume of gas coming out 472 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: one way or the other piece of gas piece. Uh. Yeah, 473 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: it's not coming from the same pocket. No, there's um 474 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: of belt comes from your stomach and flatulence comes from 475 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 1: your intestines, but they do come from the same thing. 476 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: And that's um incompletely broken down food, right, So like 477 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: if your food is totally broken down, I guess technically 478 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: you wouldn't produce any gas. But our bodies are are 479 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: digestive systems aren't efficient. So as a byproduct of this 480 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: breakdown UM, the gas is produced by these bacteria that 481 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: break down our food for us. And I guess there's 482 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: some chunks that they have problem with and it's like, 483 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: forget it, I'm just gonna create some gas. I'm done 484 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: here with this London broil, right, And so it comes 485 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: out one way or another. Yeah, at the rate of 486 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: between fourteen and twenty three times a day, um, for 487 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: both burping and farting together, which um might seem like 488 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: a lot, but over the course of twenty four hours, 489 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: because it does happen when you sleep. I think we've 490 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: all experienced that, not me. Are you sure that I'm 491 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: sure that I have? Um, I know that I have. 492 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: And of course I'm not shaming You're like everyone else. 493 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: You're like the Queen of England or Chet. But I'm 494 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: like those two mixed together. Uh so you're Judy Ditch. 495 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: Yeah she parts. Do you see phil Amina? No? No yet? 496 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: My god, that's a good movie. Yeah, that's on the list. 497 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: That's a good movie. I think that one in Twelve 498 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: Years of Slave were the only two, like a big 499 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: Do you haven't seen Twelve Years of Slave either? No? 500 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: Not yet? Man alive? Well, I need to see that, 501 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: oz you basically you have to go home after this. 502 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: Well I'm trying to. You have to get up for 503 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: a movie like Twelve Years of slave. You know, it's 504 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: not like anytime mood movie. No, and you just kind 505 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: of have to like walk into it, like walking into 506 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: a thresher or something like that. Yeah. And when I 507 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: say get up for it, I don't mean get psyched. 508 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: I mean like getting the right fail first. So it 509 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: is a very brutal experience watching that movie. Yeah, and 510 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: that's into it. Avoid those when I can, but you 511 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: should see it. I mean it's still just like an 512 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: amazing movie. Yeah. So what is actually in burbs and 513 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: farts besides oxygen? Yeah, there would be oxygen. Um, there's 514 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: a methane CEO two, nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur and yes, and 515 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: all of this is uh, well, like I said, part 516 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: of it is from a breakdown of food. I think 517 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: I might have said all of it, it's not entirely true. 518 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: A lot of your gas build up in your body. Uh. 519 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: It can be simply from swallowed air. Um, it can 520 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: be from a change in pressure, like um, how you 521 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: tend not me, but everybody else tends to shoot ducks 522 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: on airplanes more. Oh, really interesting as a result of 523 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: the just the change in pressure, even in a pressurized cabin. 524 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: It's not dead on with whatever atmosphere you used to 525 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: where you live, so you can, um get a little 526 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: gassy on the plane, but it's the worst place to 527 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: ever be gassy. It is. Luckily though, with airplane flatulence. 528 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: A lot of times it doesn't have any attendant smell 529 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: to it because it's not true methane or sulfur based air. Yes, 530 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: it's just that you're the amount of gas volume that 531 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: your body can hold right then has decreased, so you're 532 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,719 Speaker 1: having to evacuate some of the air and you're like, hey, 533 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: it didn't smell. Yeah, well no, you're just kind of 534 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: looking around furtively and looking to see if anybody's like 535 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: ah and like turns to the side away from you 536 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: in their seat, and if they don't, then you're find Yeah, 537 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: I wouldn't risk it. It also helps to ask for 538 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: a blanket for uh. And yeah, you can make yourself 539 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: burp too. I guess that makes sense about the swallowing air. 540 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: Like that's a big discovery as a young boy when 541 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: when you can master that technique. Um, and because there's 542 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: methane and your farts they are flammable and I would 543 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: not recommend you do this, but uh, I think if 544 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: you're a college age boy. You've probably tried to it's 545 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: not a lawyer. Yeah, um, yeah, I mean it's it 546 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: can be great fun and but it's also dangerous. Have 547 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: you done that, Chuck, Not in the past, like twenty years, 548 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: but yeah, And I think some of the times it's 549 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: just approve to other people that like, no, that's an 550 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: urban legend, scientific fact. Watch exactly well it is. Yeah, 551 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure YouTube is loaded with videos of that. Yeah, 552 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: you see, you know't you have to do it yourself 553 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: if you're interested, you can look it up. Um, and 554 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: I I recommend that we move on to the next thing. 555 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: But first, Chuck, before we get into it, how about 556 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: a message bright huh yes, all right, So um, we 557 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: have a few more here. Um. Vomiting. Yeah, the word 558 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: vomit has always been in my top five, like most 559 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: hated words. Oh yeah, I mean it's seems to really 560 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: kind of capture what the process, the feeling, the end 561 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: product vomit. Yeah. Yeah, it's gross, it is, but I 562 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a natural fact of life. It's 563 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: in you now. Potentially whatever your stomach contents are could 564 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: turn into vomit. So it's not because you're expelling like bile, 565 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: gastric juices, saliva, food, you know, liquids, whatever, um, and 566 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 1: all of those things were once just a happy part 567 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: of your stomach contents, and now they're not, so therefore 568 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: they have by definition become vomit. Right and um, your stomach, 569 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: the average stomach holds about three quarters of a gallon 570 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 1: of whatever you've ingested, food and beverage. Um, And it 571 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: is possible. It's super rare. But if you've ever said, 572 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, I feel like I'm gonna burst. You can't 573 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: eat and drink so much that your stomach will rupture. 574 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: But it's um, it's really rare because what happens is 575 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: your body's gag reflex takes over and you vomit if 576 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: you get too full. Um. Like if you've watched the 577 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: eating we did a show on eating competitions, Yeah, we did, 578 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: like eighty years ago. Yeah. It was a good one though. Uh. 579 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: And you know sometimes those guys just spontaneously puke. Yeah there. Um. 580 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: Remember they're called gurgitators, yeah, which is the opposite of regurgitating. 581 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 1: But if they regurgitate, they have to swallow it back 582 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: down or else that doesn't get counting. God, if I 583 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,680 Speaker 1: remember correctly, so gross um, But luckily you have that 584 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: gag reflex. But there have been a couple of documented cases. 585 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: There was one in Japan in two thousand three where 586 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: a man was found dead in a public restroom and 587 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: they found his stomach had ruptured in two places. Put 588 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: that movie seven. Oh yeah, it is true. He was 589 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: force fed. Now, if you don't vomit, there is another 590 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: like plan CEE that your body has where the lining 591 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: your stomach starts to just kind of leak contents out 592 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: into the rest of your body, which is really bad, 593 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: but it's not at least a full on rupture. Um. 594 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: What you are designed to do if you believe in 595 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: intelligent design, I guess or what you're what you will do. 596 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: But I just walked into a minefield right then, didn't I? Uh, 597 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: is to to vomit up your stomach contents as a 598 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: result of your chemoreceptor trigger zone being stimulated. And there's 599 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: a bunch of ways that that that can be stimulated. UM. 600 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: This little part of your brain it's also called the 601 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: area post dreama, So that's what triggers the vomiting mechanism. 602 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: That's the vomiting center of your brain, and it is 603 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: its function, Yes, it's function is it receives signals from 604 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: different from your vagus nerve, which is attached to your 605 00:34:54,880 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: gag reflex from your nervous system. So when you're when 606 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 1: you're in chemotherapy, this thing kind of triggers your vomit 607 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,879 Speaker 1: reflex from your stomach, your gut um. There's like four 608 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: or five different places in your body. Your inner ear 609 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: is one that can send um chemical messages to your 610 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: chemo receptor trigger zone to say, hey, we need to 611 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 1: vomit here because this guy is either going to like 612 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: this guy just ate poop and as we know, you're 613 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 1: not supposed to do that, so we need to get 614 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: it out of them. There's something wrong with this guy. Uh, 615 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 1: so let's just go around him and get that poop 616 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: out by making him vomit. So what happens is the 617 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 1: ct Z, the chemo receptor trigger zone, is stimulated one 618 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: way or another. So you start to salivate a little more, 619 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: you're breathing, Yeah, you start to get real queasy, like 620 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: pull the car over. You start heaving or wretching. Right, 621 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: that's gonna take place before you actually vomit. It's almost 622 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 1: like your diaphragmes like getting ready like jack lolane or something, well, 623 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: sort of a violent action, you know. Yes. Uh, the 624 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: pyloric sphincter, which guards the lower end of the stomach, um, 625 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: it becomes relaxed and the pressure in the abdomen rises, 626 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: so the pressure in your chest or thorax is lowered, 627 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: which is basically what happens is the pressure below increases, well, 628 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: the pressure above decreases, so it's like, so what's what 629 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: was once below can come back up right, and the 630 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading you to start sweating, 631 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you just vomit. It's like 632 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:47,320 Speaker 1: a contraction. Wow, it's not pleasant. No, it's not. And 633 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: while the end results, like if you have a stomach 634 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: flue or if you're just nauseous, um, well, uh could 635 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: call some relief. I don't know many people that, um, 636 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,960 Speaker 1: you know look forward to the experience. No, you know, no, 637 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: that's like that is not something you ever want to do, 638 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: no matter even if you know like it's going to 639 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 1: bring you relief, you still don't want to throw up, 640 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:14,840 Speaker 1: you know, and you'll put it off and put it 641 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: off because it's just the worst thing in the world. 642 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: But what what has always fascinated me. Is the idea 643 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: that something nausea, which is kind of like the body's warning, 644 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: like you want me to make you throw up, well, 645 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: and stop looking at this, stop eating poop, you know, 646 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: stop thinking about eating poop? Is that? Like, are we 647 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,720 Speaker 1: have an emotion called disgust that is primed to trigger 648 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: nausea and then possibly vomiting if it's bad enough or 649 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 1: threatening enough, so that like we have an instinct to 650 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: not eat boogers or to not eat poop, or to 651 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,320 Speaker 1: stay away from vomit or decaying meat or something. You 652 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: have this emotion that primes us to to to stay 653 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: away from things that will make us vomit. I just 654 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: find that fascinating. It is or in the movies, I 655 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: should add this to the movie tropes. Uh, if you're 656 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: just too emotionally distressed about something that will trigger in movies, 657 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: I'll make you vomit. You know, like if you see 658 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: the wrong thing and all of a sudden you just 659 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,880 Speaker 1: have to run over and vomit behind a tree. Right right, 660 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: there's that cop that were top vomits you know on 661 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: the body. Yep, it's a movie trope.

Um, 671 00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: all right there, here's when we missed in our halitosis episode. 672 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 1: And we heard from people that have tonsil stones um 673 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 1: or chronic tonsil stones. Another word for it is, uh, 674 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 1: what is it?

Yeah. Well, 686 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 1: we remember in the Hila Tosis episode we said that 687 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: the back of your tongue is like this trap for 688 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: dead cells. The bacteria that eats those dead cells and 689 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: then whatever other gunk. Well, these tonsil pockets where the 690 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: tonsil stones form are like make your tongue look like 691 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: a pristine wonderland. Like they just accept this, these deposits 692 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: that build up and up and up and then Yeah, 693 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: those things stink. I wonder if the guy that was 694 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 1: sitting next to me in the movie theater had those, 695 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: now that I think about it, because it's possible, Yeah, 696 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: I feel sorry for people that suffer from it. Um, well, 697 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: it's pretty fixable, supposedly. Yeah, you can do this at home. 698 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: It's not like a lipoma. So how do you fix 699 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,760 Speaker 1: it at home? Well, you can do tonsil irrigation basically 700 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: from what I understand, like a little squirt bottle, you 701 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,240 Speaker 1: know the ones with the ninety degree straws that football 702 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: players use like that, and you just squirt your tonsils 703 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: and it can clean them out. Um. I believe brushing 704 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: your tongue can help because it's the helps prevent the accumulation. Yeah, 705 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 1: scraping your tongue too, write uh and then what else 706 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 1: was there? Chuck? I think non alcohol based mouthwashes can help, yes, 707 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,320 Speaker 1: and um or if you have a chronic case of 708 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 1: it and um, you could get your tonsils removed right, 709 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,320 Speaker 1: which I would like to do if I had a 710 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 1: chronic case of tonsil stones, sure, because it's not just 711 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: the bad breath that comes along with it, like you 712 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:31,759 Speaker 1: can get ear aches, sore throats, in flame tonsils like 713 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: it's not it's not like your body's just like whatever, 714 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,239 Speaker 1: tonsil stones? Who cares you? It hurts it? Yeah, And 715 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: this is another one, all these gross things for some 716 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 1: reason like childhood as a wheady discover a lot of them. 717 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: And I remember distinctly my brother the first time he 718 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: uh cough one up and smashed it and made me 719 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: smell it. Oh my god, yeah, because that caught them 720 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: up before. But I've never smashed it and smelled it. 721 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,879 Speaker 1: Oh man, Like you've seen these things like yeah, he's 722 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: like smell this, Oh man, what what happened? To you, 723 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 1: did you vomit? No? I didn't, but yeah, it made 724 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: me realize, Wow, that's what those are, and that's what 725 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: they smell like. That's really grows man. This whole episode. 726 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of like, I'm over it. And we 727 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: talked about some funky stuff before too, but this is 728 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: the first time where I've had like kind of an 729 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,800 Speaker 1: ongoing stomach ache. Yeah, so I guess we'll finish it 730 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,560 Speaker 1: up with something that's super gross. No, that's a stomach acid. Yeah, 731 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: which is hydrochloric acid, which is the same kind of 732 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 1: hydrochloric acid that you can use to dissolve metal. Yeah, 733 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: got a gun you want to get the serial number 734 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 1: off of hydrochloric acid that is in your stomach. And uh, 735 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: like I kind of spoiled earlier because your stomach is 736 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: coated with mucus on the inside. That is the reason 737 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 1: that that hydrochloric acid isn't burning through your stomach. Yes, 738 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: that was some great foreshadowing, it was. Do you have 739 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,000 Speaker 1: anything else on that stomach acid? It's in there, Yeah, 740 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's just there. It's a combination of hydrogen 741 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,880 Speaker 1: and chloe ride. When it combines, you get some HCl action, 742 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,280 Speaker 1: and there you have it. Yeah, some of the grossest 743 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: things in your body as we speak. Yeah, I guess 744 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: probably that's why it burns to throw up, because you 745 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 1: have a tremendous amount of mucous line in your stomach 746 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: to keep it from dissolving. But and you have some 747 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: along your your throat and airways and your esophagus but 748 00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: not as much. So that's why bile burns. Yeah, And 749 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: I know if stomach bile, if you suffer from bulimia, 750 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: um that acid can you can end up having like 751 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: bad teeth because of it, because yeah, wearing down the 752 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: enamel from the inside out and and supposedly the stomach 753 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: rupturing is more common if you suffer from bolimia because 754 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: you may have a bad gag reflex as a result, 755 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: so it may not like react when it should if 756 00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:02,440 Speaker 1: you're overeating. Man, lots of stuff going on in the body. Huh. 757 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: I said it before and I'll say it again. You're 758 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 1: a gross Yeah.

I'm gonna call this high five from a feminist. 769 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: Hey guys, my name is Wendy and the editor for 770 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,759 Speaker 1: the feminist website Good Good Girl. I just wanted to 771 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 1: drop your line and say how much I enjoyed the 772 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 1: podcast on burlesque. To be honest, I'm not the biggest 773 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: fan of neo burlesque, not for any feminist reason. It's 774 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,040 Speaker 1: just not my bag. But I was surprise how enthralled 775 00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: I was with its history. More than your background, the 776 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: part of the podcast that really stood out was how 777 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: well you two handled the two feminist perspectives that surround it. 778 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: I thought you did a really banging job of presenting 779 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: the argument, framing each side, but respectfully acknowledging that as men, 780 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 1: it's probably not your place to make a definitive statement 781 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 1: on it. Feminism and gender are tricky subjects, but they're 782 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,280 Speaker 1: also so interesting, exciting to talk about because I'm always 783 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: sad um and I'm always sad when guys feel like 784 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,279 Speaker 1: they can't take part. I think a lot of dudes 785 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 1: feel it's not their place to comment. But you just 786 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 1: showed that anyone is welcome and to talk about women's rights. 787 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,760 Speaker 1: It just needs to be approached with a bit of tact. 788 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 1: It's a great job. I love the show. It's one 789 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: of the highlights of my week.
