Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera.
Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stuff you should know?
Speaker 1: From how stuff works dot Com. Everybody loves altoy. It's
Speaker 1: little ments that come intense. Well, once the ments are gone,
Speaker 1: you can do some really neat things with the leftover tense.
Speaker 1: People have made empty three players, cameras, even stoves. Check
Speaker 1: out how stuff works dot com slash tent evators to
Speaker 1: find out more. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: Josh Clark. With me is always as Charles Bryant. I
Speaker 1: don't even know why I say that. Chuck. I should
Speaker 1: just go Josh and Chuck here, you get your thing.
Speaker 1: This is a stupid intro. Chuck, let's start over. You
Speaker 1: say that every week. Hey, and welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm Josh Clark. There's Chuck Bryant. This is stuff you
Speaker 1: should know. Thanks for listening to us. Thank you, and
Speaker 1: even hardier things would go out if people actually paid
Speaker 1: for this. But still no, people like free Yeah, good
Speaker 1: for them. Well yeah, well we're not charging for it.
Speaker 1: If you're not. Everyone, I'm just saying right, and you
Speaker 1: know what, think about that before you write in and
Speaker 1: tell us. We're idiots. Yeah, we'll give you your money back.
Speaker 1: Did you ever see that Simpsons where Bart goes off
Speaker 1: on um that itchy and scratchy fan. No, where he's
Speaker 1: actually talking about the Simpsons the guys like, I feel
Speaker 1: like they owe me something as a loyal fan. I
Speaker 1: think it was Comic book guy. He goes off on
Speaker 1: and he goes, oh, really, they owe you something for
Speaker 1: years and years of free programming entertainment that they provided
Speaker 1: you no charge. That's what happens. Though. You know, people
Speaker 1: will take ownership and I do the same thing. We
Speaker 1: all do. It's nice to be owned. It's like lost sucks. Now,
Speaker 1: how could you do that doesn't suck? I've never paid
Speaker 1: any attention to it. Actually, I think this past season
Speaker 1: was a return to for him, but the previous season
Speaker 1: was a little lame. It happens. Moving on, moving on
Speaker 1: to Sarcopenia. Well, speaking of aging aging television shows, yes,
Speaker 1: we could also discuss aging human beings. Very nice, Josh,
Speaker 1: that was that was clumsy? That got delivered by a
Speaker 1: drunk pizza guy. Let's dish on Sarcopenia. I just like
Speaker 1: that name. It's it's a good name. It is um
Speaker 1: so Chuck. You know, there's some obvious signs of aging
Speaker 1: as as we progress in our years. Especially it seems
Speaker 1: like these days, once you start to hit the mid
Speaker 1: to late seventies, all of a sudden, bam, you're like
Speaker 1: half your height, stooped over, your rib cage is sunken
Speaker 1: in like the guy from the Unforgiven Metallica video, sagging skin.
Speaker 1: These are the signs of age, and you just kind
Speaker 1: of take this for granted. I know I did until
Speaker 1: I wrote this article. But it turns out that a
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff can be prevented. And a lot
Speaker 1: of these signs of aging are sarcopenia, which is age
Speaker 1: related muscle loss. Right, And we just want to say
Speaker 1: out there, if you are under forty, like many of
Speaker 1: our listeners probably are, listen up because it will happen
Speaker 1: YouTube and you can remember this one day and and
Speaker 1: use it, or you can advise your parents and grandparents. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: actually the whole reason this came up was because I
Speaker 1: was talking to my dad about it. He just turned
Speaker 1: seventy one and July four and um, he's starting to
Speaker 1: he lost a bunch of weight. He's looking like Mr
Speaker 1: Burt Reynolds these days. Um, a lot. Actually only mac though,
Speaker 1: only the good stuff. Um. And he's but he's his
Speaker 1: muscles are starting to actually because he's losing a bunch
Speaker 1: of weight and he's advancing in age, but he's not
Speaker 1: exercising as much. So I said, you know what, You're
Speaker 1: at risk for sarcopania. And I'm going to look up
Speaker 1: this article I wrote. And you were sitting next to me,
Speaker 1: and you said, are we podcasting on that this week?
Speaker 1: And I said, yes, we are, so here we are everyone.
Speaker 1: That's how it happens to the back story. People always
Speaker 1: wonder how we pick. That's how we pick sometimes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the whole reason. Um, also because we do have
Speaker 1: a fairly young listener ship. This can be prevented most
Speaker 1: easily by starting. Yeah, starting you. So let's talk about sarcopane.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about muscle loss first. Let's talk about muscle chuck. Protein. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: muscle mass is protein basically the end, the end. And uh,
Speaker 1: I like your how you said that in the article
Speaker 1: that the body seeks stasis. So what you want is
Speaker 1: that balance between the production and usage of that protein, right,
Speaker 1: you don't want to overproduce. The body seeks stasis in
Speaker 1: many many ways. Well, yeah, that's that's the that's the yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the level that it's it's seeking at all
Speaker 1: times with everything right, equilibrium, equilibrium body. It's a beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: So chuck, um, muscle is obviously produced in the body.
Speaker 1: We don't just you know, go buy a length of
Speaker 1: muscle and insert it where we want it one day.
Speaker 1: Yeah right yeah, um. We we actually can produce our
Speaker 1: own um through non essential proteins. These are proteins that
Speaker 1: the body produces its on its own. Right. Then we
Speaker 1: have essential protein that we need to build muscle, and
Speaker 1: we derived these by you know, jumping on gazelles and
Speaker 1: eating their throats out, or just eating peanut butter and
Speaker 1: things like that to contain on protein, tuna, tearing the
Speaker 1: throat out of peanut butter. So we gotta tear the
Speaker 1: throat of something to get muscle, right, and those are
Speaker 1: essential proteins. You're right, right, you might have already said that.
Speaker 1: I think I did, but it doesn't matter, buddy. Um.
Speaker 1: So we take this protein, uh and and the stuff
Speaker 1: we produce it's called synthesis, and the stuff we use
Speaker 1: the not the essential proteins, that's metabolism. Right, um, And
Speaker 1: we we never really lose our ability to metabolize proteins
Speaker 1: as we age, but we do tend to lose our
Speaker 1: ability to synthesize our own right. This is where you
Speaker 1: wanted to get into hormones. Correct, you were just setting
Speaker 1: me up all day long, buddy. Uh. Insulin like growth
Speaker 1: hormone I g F one. Yeah, testosterone and growth hormone,
Speaker 1: they all play a role in the product and of
Speaker 1: the protein. Josh, did you know that I did? I
Speaker 1: wrote this article. Well anyway, the point is these hormones, hormones,
Speaker 1: you know, are the chemical messengers in our body. They
Speaker 1: do all sorts of crazy stuff. I just wrote about, um,
Speaker 1: whether or not you can get pregnant while you're breastfeeding.
Speaker 1: And hormones are amazing. And by the way, I know
Speaker 1: everything there is to know about the about the menstrual cycle.
Speaker 1: You know everything. I'll ask me any question later, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you many minarchy. The problem, Josh, is that the
Speaker 1: pro these hormones decline as we age, right, So the
Speaker 1: the the um the protein production is aren't getting it's
Speaker 1: not getting the signals that it used to through the hormone,
Speaker 1: so non essential protein production slips leaving only essential production
Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, essential proteins that you ingest. And I
Speaker 1: think you you indicated that as we get older, we
Speaker 1: actually need more proteins. So that's kind of like a
Speaker 1: one to punch, right, and we don't necessarily get more
Speaker 1: proteins once you Once you establish a diet in your lifetime,
Speaker 1: you usually kind of stick to it, especially in your
Speaker 1: seventies and right. I mean people may you know, kind
Speaker 1: of come to understand their bodies. I can't remember how
Speaker 1: Douglas Copeland put it in. Generates an X, I think
Speaker 1: aware of your body. People become aware of their bodies
Speaker 1: later in life, so they may change their diet some
Speaker 1: but generally, you're your protein intake will remain the same
Speaker 1: even though you need it more. So you've got hormone
Speaker 1: decline and protein deficiency. So that's two of the three.
Speaker 1: Actually we didn't even mention the third yet. Well this
Speaker 1: is the most this is the most vital one motor
Speaker 1: unit restructuring. So you've got these three things, hormone decline,
Speaker 1: protein deficiency, and motor unit um restructuring, which we were
Speaker 1: about to get into, and all of a sudden, you've
Speaker 1: got sarcopenia because you're stooped over. Your face is sagging again.
Speaker 1: You look like the old guy from the Unforgiven video.
Speaker 1: You're walking slow. What is the Unforgiven video? You know
Speaker 1: that Metallica song Unforgiven. It came out post Good Metallica,
Speaker 1: before Horrible Metallica. So it was during the after Ride,
Speaker 1: the Lightning before whatever, that Lala Pellusa tour when they
Speaker 1: started wearing eyeliner and stuff, when they cut their hair.
Speaker 1: So we've got we've got sarcopenia um, but we haven't
Speaker 1: really talked about that motor unit restructuring. This is the
Speaker 1: most important factor, right, So let me tell them what
Speaker 1: a motor unit is. Yes, So, Joshua, things called motor neurons,
Speaker 1: and they command the muscle fibers to voluntary muscle fibers
Speaker 1: voluntary muscifibers to do things. Right, So that's a motor
Speaker 1: unit as those two things together, right, the muscle fibers
Speaker 1: they command, and the neurons the muscle fibers and the
Speaker 1: neurons that command them. That's a motor unit, right. And
Speaker 1: and again it's strictly voluntary muscle we're talking about. So
Speaker 1: the neuron gets a command from the brain. I think.
Speaker 1: In the article I used the example of raised right
Speaker 1: arm and punch chuck in the neck. I would never
Speaker 1: do that. I'd say, shut up, brain. Um. So the
Speaker 1: brain sends the signal to the neurons involved in raising
Speaker 1: your right arm and they fire um and contract the muscles. Innervation,
Speaker 1: which is what's going on, like you're lifting your arm.
Speaker 1: It's really a bunch of muscles contracting. And when I
Speaker 1: think about it like that, I think about like little
Speaker 1: tiny like pirates, like pulling on the um, the hoisting,
Speaker 1: the sale sure like that like he ho he, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your your your arm is raised.
Speaker 1: Right there. You have it. It's called innervation. Technically, when
Speaker 1: the muscle fibers are caused to contract from the neurons
Speaker 1: right um, now raising your arm, that would be pretty
Speaker 1: much probably exclusively the result of slow twitch neurons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: lets we need to explain the difference here. There's two
Speaker 1: kinds of neurons. There's fast twitch and they're slow twitch
Speaker 1: ft and st and fast hitch fast twitch fast twitch fastitch.
Speaker 1: I like fast twitch fast twitch. That's really hard to say.
Speaker 1: Is it's like Irish wristwatch? Yeah, exactly. It's very specialized
Speaker 1: because they command like only fast movements like when you run,
Speaker 1: or like eye twitches your eyelids. Yeah, like really precise movement.
Speaker 1: But there aren't as many of them because they only
Speaker 1: command a certain you know, limited number of functions. Right. Well,
Speaker 1: one one fast twitch neuron will command, um, say, just
Speaker 1: a few muscle fibers because it has to be precise,
Speaker 1: so it can't be concerned with a whole bunch at once.
Speaker 1: Slight twitch, on the other hand, is uh the mass.
Speaker 1: I think the way I put it in the article was, um,
Speaker 1: the fast twitch neurons are kind of agile, like a
Speaker 1: tightrope walker, where slow twitch or like bulls and China shops,
Speaker 1: they're just kind of big and dumb and lumbering and brewer,
Speaker 1: you know exactly. So the slow twitch neuron is going
Speaker 1: to raise your arm because it's just a bunch of
Speaker 1: just muscle fiber that isn't really involved in anything precise. Big.
Speaker 1: The problem is that the ft the fast twitch, they
Speaker 1: die off as you age, first the first to go.
Speaker 1: So what happens is if if there if if a
Speaker 1: group of muscle fibers are no longer commanded by a neuron,
Speaker 1: they're at risk of um atrophying, right, which is muscle death. Right.
Speaker 1: Uh so then all of a sudden you have muscle
Speaker 1: loss to prevent this body has a pretty cool system.
Speaker 1: This is very cool. Out of nowhere, Um, the closest
Speaker 1: slow twitch neuron that's that's uh, the one that's closest
Speaker 1: to the dead fast twitch neuron will take over, will
Speaker 1: attach itself and take command in place of right. Yes,
Speaker 1: so you still need these precise movements, but now it's
Speaker 1: being um, they're being commanded by a big, dumb, lumbering neuron. Right.
Speaker 1: So that is the restructuring. That's motor motor unit restructuring, right,
Speaker 1: And the result of it is UM. You know if
Speaker 1: a loss of coordination, UM, a loss of quick reaction, yes,
Speaker 1: less precise right, So that's part of that UM, that
Speaker 1: lack of balance that happens as you age. It's actually
Speaker 1: the result of muscle loss, exactly. And that's part three
Speaker 1: of the what you called the perfect storm that can
Speaker 1: increase the onset of sarcopania. And when this happens, especially
Speaker 1: along the spine, the muscle fibers along the spine, when
Speaker 1: there's motor unit restructuring or just straight up neuron death, UM,
Speaker 1: that's that's what gives us our stoop posture because the
Speaker 1: stand upright, it requires muscles going he hoped right, and um,
Speaker 1: when you lose it, you end up being stooped over.
Speaker 1: So these all put together, all these signs of age,
Speaker 1: the loss of the intercostal muscles between the ribs, stoop postures,
Speaker 1: sagging skin, it's called senile sarcopania. And this is the
Speaker 1: most preventable type of sarcopania. You can also get sarcopania
Speaker 1: from um disease. There's some other much less preventable forms
Speaker 1: of environmental conditions can sure Like basically, if you lay
Speaker 1: down in a highway tunnel for several years and just
Speaker 1: inhale carbon monoxide constantly, you're probably sarcopenia will be among
Speaker 1: the various maladies that developed. Well, the good news though,
Speaker 1: like you said, is that this can be prevented, and
Speaker 1: this is the message that you need to talk to
Speaker 1: your parents and grandparents about and what people like me
Speaker 1: need to remember very soon as I am aging right,
Speaker 1: And there's an easy solution to this waights resistance training.
Speaker 1: So for a long time doctors well they still do,
Speaker 1: but physicians UM have The medical establishment has always recommended
Speaker 1: something like I think, um, thirty minutes of exercise a day.
Speaker 1: It's all about cardio usually cardio like walking, running, wommen,
Speaker 1: getting the heart going, and yeah you need to do that.
Speaker 1: But that has little to no effect on sarcopenia. But
Speaker 1: resistance training does. Um, And they've done a bunch of
Speaker 1: studies on this. I found out this is one of
Speaker 1: those articles, Chuck, where I wrote it and there was
Speaker 1: just so much awesome information out there. There's just a
Speaker 1: really interesting article to write despite when it was assigned
Speaker 1: to me, and I found out with sarcopenia was I
Speaker 1: was like, you gotta be kidding me, right, why would
Speaker 1: I be writing this? Yeah, me of all people, Um,
Speaker 1: I need to write about whiskey. But there there's been
Speaker 1: a bunch of studies that have turned up some really
Speaker 1: surprising results. Right. So um, there was one that I
Speaker 1: came across that put a group of elderly people age
Speaker 1: eighty four. Yeah, this is pretty impressive unresistance training. And
Speaker 1: by resistance training, we're talking about um, oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know where you lift legs weights with your legs
Speaker 1: by just like flexing them out where I can't remember.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's called like bringing your I've
Speaker 1: done it before, probably a doubt. If they recommend that
Speaker 1: the elderly go in there and start hitting the bench press. No,
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, they recommend that the elderly
Speaker 1: not try this first by themselves. They need at the
Speaker 1: very least the advice of somebody who knows what they're
Speaker 1: talking about at the gym, who works at the gym,
Speaker 1: and they're not a personal trainer. You want to talk
Speaker 1: to your doctor first if you're if you're elderly, but
Speaker 1: we're The point here is is that if you are
Speaker 1: elderly and you are developing circopania, it can actually be
Speaker 1: reversed by resistance training. It was like, these signs of
Speaker 1: aging can be reversed. Um. These this this study that
Speaker 1: had seventy eight to eighty four year olds. They put
Speaker 1: them on a resistance training program um and they saw
Speaker 1: an increase of protein synthesis. Remember that's the stuff that
Speaker 1: we that's the ability with los as we get older.
Speaker 1: The increase was a hundred and eighty two percent. That's unreal.
Speaker 1: That's huge because normally there's like increases and whenever you
Speaker 1: look at a study it's like, oh, there was a
Speaker 1: two percent change. That's significant different, This is enormously significant.
Speaker 1: Just by doing weights, we can synthesize protein, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I can I tell them about the other one. Please do? Uh.
Speaker 1: The U s d A did this one and they
Speaker 1: said that the elderly participants who did resistance training for
Speaker 1: forty five minutes three times a week saw for twelve
Speaker 1: week over three month spans, on average, increase of thirty
Speaker 1: muscle five increase in strength. Yeah, and that's huge, man,
Speaker 1: that's forty five minutes three times a week in twelve weeks.
Speaker 1: It's nothing. No, not much. And if you're seventy or eighty,
Speaker 1: what else do you're not working? Yeah? Get the gym? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Wapner commands you should we talk about astronauts well this Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was hoping we get to this. The whole the
Speaker 1: whole reason that we know that resistance training works is
Speaker 1: thanks to our friends at NASA. This is weird, man.
Speaker 1: What happens is astronauts have a similar existence as elderly
Speaker 1: because it's very sedentary. They're in a space shuttle and
Speaker 1: there's not much room. They're waitless. They're just hanging around,
Speaker 1: drinking tang doing nothing. They never did nothing. For nobody.
Speaker 1: Here's the interesting thing, Josher's and I know you know this.
Speaker 1: They have an opposite effect. They're slow twitch. Well weightlessness,
Speaker 1: weightlessness does well yeah, not not just if you're an astronaut,
Speaker 1: but yeah, being being waitless. Uh, the fast twitch ones actually, uh,
Speaker 1: the slow twitch ones dial first and in the fast
Speaker 1: which ones to pick up the slack right rather than
Speaker 1: down here on Earth where the fast twitched size off
Speaker 1: first and then slow twitch picks up. And I've heard
Speaker 1: of this. I didn't know the science behind it, but
Speaker 1: I had heard that if you're weightless in space, like
Speaker 1: these people that are up there for like a year
Speaker 1: at the space station are coming back and like tearing
Speaker 1: calf muscles, Like, yeah, that's the result of it. It's
Speaker 1: not a loss of coordination, but very easily torn muscles
Speaker 1: because the little the little precise, uh, fast twitch neurons
Speaker 1: are not used to controlling like these huge you know,
Speaker 1: they don't do the heave hoe that well. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that's to work this all out, if you know, and
Speaker 1: outer space one day. Yeah. And I think the last
Speaker 1: point is is, yes, you're supposed to do cardio. You're
Speaker 1: supposed to do the thirty minutes of walking every day
Speaker 1: to stay alive and all that. But the point is
Speaker 1: is you can't walk. If you can't stand up straight right,
Speaker 1: you can't walk away your sarcopanian. So you want to
Speaker 1: you want to do the resistance training first. You want
Speaker 1: to start on that. You want to start that regimen
Speaker 1: first and then move into walking. And again, if you're
Speaker 1: twelve years old and you're listening to us, you have
Speaker 1: no idea how this applies to you, But my friends,
Speaker 1: it does. Sarah, Sarah are no, she's twelve. This does
Speaker 1: apply to you, just as it applies to Chuck and I.
Speaker 1: And let's go hit the gym, buddy. Let's do it. Yeah, you,
Speaker 1: me and Arnie mh so Chuck uh and if anybody
Speaker 1: wants to, this is one of those articles that would
Speaker 1: be good to kind of print out and a half
Speaker 1: around to refer to. I think there's some really good
Speaker 1: links on Lots More Information page to give you more information,
Speaker 1: lots more information, uh that you can find that article
Speaker 1: by typing in sarcopenia. That's s A R C O
Speaker 1: P E N I A UH in the handy toolbar
Speaker 1: at how stuff works dot com. And uh, before we
Speaker 1: do listener mail Chuck, let's do a little plug. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't. We haven't plugged ourselves in a long long time.
Speaker 1: We're not big on tuting our own horns now. So
Speaker 1: we're going to plug our blog, which we haven't done
Speaker 1: in a while. And you can go to the house
Speaker 1: stuff Works dot com website. Yeah, go to the blogs.
Speaker 1: You'll see it over on the right side, the blogs
Speaker 1: of how stuff Work. Yep, there's a there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that blogs who we have seven eight nine now, yeah,
Speaker 1: and they're all really great act they are. We have
Speaker 1: um our Tracy, our colleague, Tracy Wilson writes fans stuff.
Speaker 1: It's all about geek dumb um. Katie does the history
Speaker 1: stuff blog. Yeah, Stuffy missed in history class. I should say.
Speaker 1: Scott's over there with auto stuff Science. We've got the
Speaker 1: Holster Banks trickling in the gang with tech stuff. The
Speaker 1: brain does one. Yeah, um, but yeah, you can find
Speaker 1: all of them at the blogs at how stuff Works
Speaker 1: dot com and um, I think it's blogs dot how
Speaker 1: stuff works dot com right or the home Should we
Speaker 1: plug that webcast? Definitely. We haven't plugged this in a
Speaker 1: long time because we were not too sure of ourselves
Speaker 1: at first with the webcast. But we do what we are.
Speaker 1: We are we now, when did that happen? I think
Speaker 1: it's good. Okay. Uh. We do a webcast every Wednesday
Speaker 1: at one o'clock Eastern Standard time, and it's it's live.
Speaker 1: It's live video without a net and it's pretty clear
Speaker 1: that it's live when you see as stumble through certain
Speaker 1: things and what not. Not this week or last week,
Speaker 1: the week before, we actually started over like five minutes
Speaker 1: into it, did we remember? It got so out of
Speaker 1: hand We're just like, let's just start over. I don't
Speaker 1: even remember. It was. Wow. It's a lot of fun though,
Speaker 1: and it's a little different than the show. It's a
Speaker 1: little more news oriented. We talked about current events, and
Speaker 1: we don't cannibalize the podcast, no, not at all. So
Speaker 1: it's it's fun and you can watch that on our blog. Actually. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's our webcast and the blog, which means plug
Speaker 1: time is over and that means listener mail. That's right, Josh.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call this it made me feel good
Speaker 1: and it's from Omaha. That's a great title. I always
Speaker 1: think of these on the fly, and you understand, Dear
Speaker 1: Josh and Chuck I've been meaning to write you and
Speaker 1: the History Stuff gals for a long time now for
Speaker 1: helping me survive horrendous long international plane trips for work.
Speaker 1: I save up a bunch of podcasts and listen to
Speaker 1: them to keep out the noise of strangers exchanging small
Speaker 1: talk and baby screaming, and to take my mind off
Speaker 1: my anxiety and border However, now I really have something
Speaker 1: to thank you for. Friday, I got back from a
Speaker 1: trip to Brazil uh and, during which I listened to
Speaker 1: the podcast on Tako and other parasites prevalent in Brazil
Speaker 1: Lovely uh And the next day I had to put
Speaker 1: my beloved bunny of nine years to sleep. It's awful.
Speaker 1: Is that related to toxo? Not at all, um, I
Speaker 1: have been heartbroken. It's very sad. Yesterday, driving home from work,
Speaker 1: I played a couple of your podcasts I hadn't listened
Speaker 1: to on my trip and found myself laughing out loud.
Speaker 1: I was amazing. I hadn't felt like laughing or even
Speaker 1: smiling for days, and you two cheered me up more
Speaker 1: than I thought was possible. Awesome. Sure, you didn't save
Speaker 1: my life or anything like you did with the hypermiling woman,
Speaker 1: But you certainly help my emotional state for that. I
Speaker 1: thank you. Keep up the great humor. I'm sure it
Speaker 1: helps more than helps people. More than you know. Is
Speaker 1: from grim and Elmahaa Braska Brim. Yeah, awesome, and that
Speaker 1: awesome name the last name or a name or stuffing
Speaker 1: she had a different name and that she can't say
Speaker 1: it on the yere Oh, I got you. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't say full name. Did you give her that nickname? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: that's how she signed it, But then her full name
Speaker 1: was I got it there as well. Well, that's fantastic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: made it made me feel good. Well, if you have
Speaker 1: any stories about how we made you feel better about
Speaker 1: a dead pet or any international travel you'd like to
Speaker 1: tell us about, you can send that in an email
Speaker 1: to stuff Podcast at how stuff works dot com. For
Speaker 1: more on this and thousands of other topics, does it
Speaker 1: how stuff works dot com. Want more how stuff works,
Speaker 1: check out our blogs on the house stuff works dot

Speaker 1: thousand twelve camera. It's ready, are you
