1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of I 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hey, I'm welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. 3 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: There's Charles to w Chuck, Brian over there, Jerry's here, 4 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 1: so bend over and let's get started. Everyone warning, body horror. Yeah, 5 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: this is about Enema's trigger warning. Obviously if you see 6 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: the title, you're gonna know what's going on. But you 7 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: know there's gonna be some gross stuff. And there's also 8 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: a small section that does uh you may not want 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: your kids to hear. Uh. I would just say, if 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: this is probably not family road trip material, yeah, just 11 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: skip to the next one. Yeah, unless that next one, no, 12 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: it's probably safe lately. Oh yeah yeah yeah. And it's 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: really just that one part to tell you the truth. 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: And even then it's not like we're being like, you know, 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: lascivious or body. No, it's nothing to be ashamed of it, 16 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: like you just just tread carefully with kids around, everybody's like, 17 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: what are they talking about? I've never been more intrigued 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: via Stuff you Should Know episode and you'll know when 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: did we get there? So keep your pants on? That 20 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: was terrible but great also at the same time, um, 21 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: so we're talking enemas and yeah, they were probably about 22 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: seven eight times researching this where I was like, I'm 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: gonna faintly, yeah, and I'm really surprised that I've actually 24 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: gotten high colonics before, like I've done this stuff. I 25 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: think I remember that. And you were into this, right, yes, actually, yeah, 26 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: that's a good way to put it. I was into 27 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: it for a while. Um and because there were times 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: where I would get one and be like, I've never 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: felt more positive and energetic than I've ever felt my life. 30 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: Then other times I would get them and I would 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: feel like gray and couldn't look anybody in the eye afterward. 32 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: Like it's really strange how it can affect you. But 33 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: you know, when it does make you feel it, you 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: can understand why people do it. The thing is is 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: we'll see the reason that I was doing high colonics 36 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: and why most people do high colonics, especially outside of 37 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: a formal medical setting. It's just basically bunk. That's true. 38 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: I remember now you talked about this in our live 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Dr Kellogg episode. Yeah, because I remember you when you 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: said you felt gray. That's how I described it on stage. 41 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: There's no other way to put it. That always gotta laugh. Yeah, yeah, 42 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: that's true. Also gotta laugh. That's true. Jokes, No, for sure. 43 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: So um, I'll talk a little. I'll pepper this episode 44 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: with with my memories of that. How about that? Great? 45 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: But instead, I've never done it. You've never had an 46 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: anima even, no, no, nothing like that. Okay, alright, exit 47 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 1: only so far and so in that ruling anything out. 48 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: But that's the thing. So like Ed helped us with 49 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: this one, and he specifically spells out, there's no reason 50 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: for you to do this. That's true. And just let 51 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: me correct myself real quick. I did have my colon 52 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: oscar be so I'm officially not exit only. Oh congratulations, man, 53 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: that's a good thing to do. No one told me 54 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: two things going into this, one of which is that 55 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: the people coming in there to do it walk in 56 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: like wearing rubber smocks basically, and when you see it, 57 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, sure I would do uh. And the 58 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: other thing no one ever told me, and I think 59 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: people don't tell people this maybe just because it's a 60 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: fun surprise, is that all you do afterward for thirty 61 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: minutes is fart. I don't remember that I was sitting there, 62 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: but pre op they brought a guy out next to 63 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: me behind the curtain and he was just blowing gas 64 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: every fifteen seconds, big ones, and I was dying and 65 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: the guy I was it was so funny to me. 66 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean still five years old. The guy 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: came in to wheel me in the anesthesiologists and I 68 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: was like, is that him? And he that's everybody, and 69 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: I went so all day long and he went a 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: cacophony of farts and I was like, what a job, 71 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: and he just kind of laughed and he said it'll 72 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: be you two. And I came out and I was 73 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: in that beautiful propof all haze and I told the lady, 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: I said, I gotta go to the bathroom right now, 75 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: and she went, you just have to pass, honey. She 76 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: would just go go ahead and start doing it, and 77 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: sure enough I just started. I just started blowing heat 78 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: for how long? Because I really did that. I must 79 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: have been like just basically out while I was doing it. 80 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: Now maybe well Emily didn't remember either, but she I 81 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: was in there with her and she I think was 82 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: pretty farty. So anyway, all that to say, uh, I 83 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: did have the camera, uh you know, going inside of 84 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: my body. So you have been an inny now not 85 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: just that, I guess, so I was looking for the 86 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: right word and any sure, so um, well, let's just 87 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: let's get to the nitty gritty here. Okay, Yeah, what's 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: an enema. It's when you have fluid injected through your 89 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: anus into the rectum. Sometimes, depending on the amount of 90 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: fluid introduced and how long you can hold it, it 91 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: can make its way up to the large intestine, which 92 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: is five ft or one and a half meters long, 93 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: so it can be a lot of fluid, almost two 94 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: leaders from what I saw. Um, and then you try 95 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: to hold it and then after a while you pass 96 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: it and you're basically pooping a bunch of water out. 97 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: And hopefully if you're doing this for basically a non 98 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: medical reason, you're you're clearing out any remaining poop material 99 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, which is when you go in for 100 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: a calonic, they have you instead of doing a calonic 101 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: or or a cinema, they give you the stuff to 102 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: drink where you do nothing but poop for you know, 103 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: twelve to eighteen hours or whatever for a colonoscopy. Yeah, 104 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: because they don't want they don't want anything in there either, No, 105 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: and because they can they can like not make it 106 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: past whatever chunks are in there, or they can um 107 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: they can kind of um block there the data that 108 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: they're getting from it block their view. Who knows, but yeah, 109 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: the uber right, like when I had to go one 110 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: more time and I actually stopped the guy right as 111 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: we were going in and said, I think you have 112 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: to go one more time? Is that a problem? And 113 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: he went no, please do say oh right, of course, 114 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: it's like you want all of it out. So let's 115 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: talk about where you're actually holding this water when you 116 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: get in Eama. Yeah, to the five people still listening, 117 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: you think, no, I don't know. I think there are 118 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: some people that are I mean that listen to the 119 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: poop episode. If they're into that, they're into this sure 120 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: for sure. So um in your guts, you've got your 121 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: digestive tract, which basically is your guts, you get your mouth, 122 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: you're faring to your esophagus. That's where the food goes 123 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: into the stomach, and from the stomach it goes into 124 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: the small intestine. And the small intestine is long. It's 125 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: really long. It's like twenty two ft long, all bunched up, 126 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: and it's longer then large intestine. But it's much narrower, 127 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: and that is where we suck all the nutrients out 128 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: of food, right, and then once we suck all the 129 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: nutrients out of food, it goes produp into the large intestine. 130 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: That's right, all right. So from this point, uh, you're 131 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the small intestine, right am, I 132 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: in the right part of the body. I feel like 133 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: you shrunk me down and I'm listening to you on 134 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: like out of here. Uh. You've got the liquid food 135 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: material at this point, and it's going to pass through 136 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: the iliosecal valve into the secum. And we talked about 137 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: all this in the poop in the Digestive episodes, but 138 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: it's a nice refresher and I think appendix too. Yeah. Probably, 139 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: it's always fun to talk about it because it's such 140 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: a weird system to that, like the answer is twenty 141 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: two ft of intestines. Yeah, but it's just such a 142 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: beautiful idea or such a great systems. It's pretty cool. Uh. 143 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: So the secum is on the right side of the 144 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: body and the lower abdomen, and then it's going to 145 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: move into this the colon, which is that big, larger 146 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: segmented tube that goes up the right side and takes 147 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: a little turn actually not a little turn or very 148 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: sharp turn across the body, uh, in the upper abdomen 149 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: and is kind of curved and tucked underneath the stomach. Yeah, 150 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: And then it goes down the other side and makes 151 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: kind of a j at the bottom, and that's where 152 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: it connects with the rectum. And colon, by the way, 153 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: is just another word for the large intestine. Um. There's 154 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: different types of colon depending on what section you're talking about. 155 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: But the point is, as it's going through this wild 156 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: ride in your large intestine, although the nutrients have been 157 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: removed now the water is being removed a lot of 158 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: the liquid so that you don't get dehydrated every time 159 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: you poop, and that makes your poop not dry, but 160 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: less moist than it would have been when it entered 161 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: the large intestine. The point is this, when it gets 162 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: to erectum and goes out of your anus, what you're 163 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: doing is pooping. And the whole point behind enemas as 164 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: it stands, and they've been around for a really long time, 165 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: is the idea that maybe there's something stuck in there. 166 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: And if there's something stuck in there and it's gross, 167 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: we should probably try to get rid of it and 168 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: we'll probably be healthier as a result. Yeah, and I 169 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: think even beyond stuck, I think some people like the 170 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: idea of just cleaning the pipes out really really well, 171 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Sure, I know what you're saying. 172 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: Like if they could get a one of those like 173 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: test tube brushes, you can't, yeah, like a pipe cleaner, 174 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: but you can't. And so the enema has come along, 175 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: and and I think a lot of people still do 176 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: it for that reason. They just like, maybe that's why 177 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: you were doing it, like let me clean myself out. Yeah, um, 178 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: I was doing it for the idea of like toxins 179 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: being removed that kind of stuff. Um, which is it? 180 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: It dates back to John Harvey Kellogg but even further 181 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: as we'll see. But yeah, I think some people do 182 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: just want to be cleaner. And I saw that there's 183 00:09:54,160 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: a shower extension or attachment that is home and you 184 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: can basically just give yourself an enema every day in 185 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: the shower. Whether you should do that or not is 186 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: highly debatable, and if you asked the doctor, they'll say, no, 187 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: I don't even do it once, But some people do anyway. Interesting, uh, 188 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: all right. So if you want to go back through history, um, 189 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: you it's one of the earliest sort of medical procedures 190 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: that you could get. Uh. It is in ancient ancient 191 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: medical texts. Uh. We always talk about Pliny and Herodotus, 192 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: they both wrote about enemas. The Egyptians were using enemas. Uh. 193 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: That was apparently a bird called the ibis that they 194 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: thought gave itself enemas with its beak, when in fact 195 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: it was just expressing oil glands near the anus with 196 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: its beak. But they looked at this bird and said, 197 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: I guess, well, hey, if it's doing it, then maybe 198 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: we should do um. But a lot of times with 199 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: the Egyptians it was sort of a post um. She's 200 00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: almost said, postpartum, post die, post posthumous. Yeah, oh cheeze, 201 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: its posthumous post. I was gonna cut all that out, 202 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: but I should just own it, right, It's up to you. Now, 203 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 1: you're gonna own it. I was. I could not think 204 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: of the word posthumous. It was something they did after 205 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: you died. Yeah, they would put a bunch of cedar 206 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 1: oil up your poop shoot and let you, um, let 207 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: your inners just basically dissolve that way. But they were 208 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: also using it while they were alive, not using cedar 209 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: oil obviously because that would have been horrible, but um, 210 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: using other stuff like typically water sometimes oils um to 211 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: basically clean themselves out. Again, that's long been and still 212 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: is the basic idea of an enema for thousands of years. 213 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: That's right. So as far as equipment goes, uh, you know, 214 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,599 Speaker 1: over the years, it's definitely uh, things have come and 215 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: gone and what was available to them. Uh. Syringes have 216 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: been around a lot longer than I thought actually before 217 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: I researched this stuff. But depending on where you were 218 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: and how much money you had, you might not have 219 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 1: access to something like a medical syringe. Um. But one 220 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: thing they would use is in certain parts of the 221 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: world where bamboo tubes uh, and you would, you know, 222 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: stick this up someone's butt and you would be very 223 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: careful not to inhale with your mouth on the tube, 224 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: and you would blow, uh blow in and you would 225 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: force liquid in through there. And this was something that 226 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: they used. I think bellows came along because people actually 227 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: would occasionally inhale and that would lead to very poor results. Right, Yeah, 228 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 1: because a lot of times you were getting animals for 229 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: things like colera, and if you accidentally like coughed and 230 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: inhaled while you're what you're supposed to be blowing, you 231 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: could inhale color infested stool and you were in big, 232 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: big trouble. Or even if it wasn't colera infested, it's 233 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: just a very poor day, it really is. And they 234 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: were like yeah, and like this is a it's a 235 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: really basic idea, but over you know, the centuries, people 236 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: added things to it, like you said, the syringe. When 237 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: it started to become more widespread. Um there was a 238 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: Dutch physician named Rignier de Groff who in the six 239 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: hundreds realized that a lot of people could probably benefit from, 240 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, an enema, but they were too modest or 241 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: embarrassed or something like that. So he really started to 242 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: try to figure out how to make um enemas self administered, 243 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: also to free the poor person who had to blow 244 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: the water through the bamboo tube as well. It was 245 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: way better if you could just do it yourself without 246 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Sure, uh, you know things like 247 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: water bottles that used these days in certain applications. Back 248 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: then they would use like animal bladders and things like that. 249 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: Because they again like you said they tried to make 250 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: it early on. I think even way back then they 251 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: were they said, this is probably something we should try 252 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: and get people to do themselves, no matter what tools 253 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: they're using, Like, we gotta think of something to get 254 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: everyone else out of the room. So, just like everything else, Um, 255 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: there was an age of the enema and this actually 256 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: happened during the the court of Louis fourteenth, who I 257 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: believe rain during the eighteenth century. Correct, Yeah, I mean 258 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: I think it was yeah, like early sixteen thirties to 259 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: early seventeen hundreds. Okay, alright, correct, so I was half right. 260 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: So during this time, like it was, it was just 261 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: just as fashionable as as it could be to get 262 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: enemas self administered or otherwise. And being the king Louis 263 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: the fourteenth was like, um, I don't have to administer 264 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: these myself. I'll have somebody administer them to me. And 265 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: also being the king, I will just I'll take visitors 266 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: during these sessions as well. Yes, and he loved these things. 267 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: Reports say that he had over two thousand enemas during 268 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: his reign. And uh, why this hasn't been like at 269 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: least a movie scene at some point I have no 270 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: idea where he's just kind of holding cord or taking 271 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: a meeting while he's getting an enema. But um, you know, 272 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: high society, the Parisians, they would show off there. They 273 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: were called clister uh syringes, and they had several different ones, 274 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: somewhere like mother of Pearl and very fancy, and they 275 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: would they would, you know, say, oh, look at mine, 276 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: I have several different you know, enema syrenches. And it 277 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: was just a thing people did a lot, yes, until 278 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: the around the nineteenth century, and they started figuring out 279 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: that that they could make laxatives and pillform and it 280 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: was way easier, and they started prescribing those instead UM, 281 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: and it fell out of favor until John Harvey Kellogg 282 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: came along and for much much greater detail in his 283 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: um experience with enemas. You could go listen to our 284 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: live Kellogg Brothers episode. But he he brought it back 285 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: with a bang, and since then, his ideas that you're 286 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: cleaning out toxins that otherwise will cause disease in you 287 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: is still just the premise of enemas outside of the 288 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: medical setting. That's right. Uh. A another couple of things 289 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: that I know, I know one of them you mentioned 290 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: and I couldn't remember, but I guess it was the 291 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: drowning episode. Was they used to in England perform tobacco 292 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: smoke enemas to revive people after drowning or if you 293 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: lose consciousness, And I knew that sounded familiar. And then 294 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: when it hit on the drowning part that had to 295 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: have been the episode. But they would blow tobacco smoke 296 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 1: up your butt with a rubber hose and will wake 297 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: you right up. I guess yeah. Well, actually I think 298 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: they found that it didn't actually work very much. Okay, 299 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: so you want to take a break and come back 300 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: and talk more about animals. Hey, let's stuck. I don't 301 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: know that you know it stuck and stuck. It's a 302 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: great name. That's the name of that. It's a great name. Alright, 303 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: stuck within with an X. Right, So let's talk like 304 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: the actual medical anima, right and how it actually works. Okay. Uh. 305 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: The first thing you want to figure out is how 306 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: much liquid to put in um and it varies. There 307 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: can be situations where they're basically kind of flushing you 308 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: in and out where there are gallons of liquid that 309 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: are used. Uh, sometimes you might get a CT scan 310 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: to actually determine a real volume to use, like how 311 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: much space do you have to hold this liquid? And uh, 312 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: usually though it's about a leader or so roughly, Yeah, um, 313 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: I saw that the volume of the average coal in 314 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: the large intestine is about one and a half leaders 315 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: to maybe three. I think you're on the side of down. 316 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: But if you think about it, if you're using a leader, 317 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: say two leaders, you're filling up your entire large intestine 318 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: with water. Lucky for you, there's that um ilo seql 319 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: ealv um that prevents backflow from going from the large 320 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: intestine back into the small intestine. Um. But that's actually 321 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: like a big, big risk with UM self administered or 322 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: non medical enemas or colonics is there's a concern that 323 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: that could actually breach that and you would be in 324 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: big trouble because you'd be infecting yourself with stuff that 325 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be infecting yourself with. Yeah, I mean, that's 326 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: one good reason not to do it yourself exactly, So 327 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: you're gonna probably be on your side. There's a doctor 328 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: nurse who's going to be you know, administering it, and um, 329 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: it's exactly what you think. They put a tube up 330 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: your butt. They put the water whatever it is, into 331 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: your anus, which goes up to your rectum and then 332 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: possibly into your um large intestine and while you're while 333 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: you're sitting there, you were overcome by the urge to poop. 334 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: And it's not just that you're full or distended um. 335 00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: It's that the liquid actually can trigger the mucosa lining 336 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: the rectum to to poop. It's basically like, there's two 337 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: ways it's making you want to poop, and brother, do 338 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,959 Speaker 1: you want to poop? Right? So one is your full 339 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: and the other is that mucosa is just start spasming 340 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: because it's triggered. Uh. And that's why I use apparently 341 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: why they use soapy water um or not always, but 342 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: there is such a thing as the soapy water enema, 343 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: and that soap is a lubricant which helps obviously for 344 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: obvious reasons, but it also can be extra irritating to 345 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: the colon and guess make you want to poop even more. 346 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: But I'm sure there's people out there who presume that 347 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: soapy soap water enemas are used to clean you out 348 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: extra yeah, which is not the case, right, No, it's not. 349 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: It's just for making you your colon spasm right, so UM, 350 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: while you're holding this, like sometimes you have to hold 351 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: it because there might be a bunch of um like 352 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: impacted poop in there or something like that that they 353 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: want to kind of soften up over time, so they 354 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: may make you hold it for a while. You're going 355 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: to cramp because you're not used to being this full. 356 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: And also don't forget that you're your colon is spasming 357 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: wanting to poop, and you just have to hold it 358 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: for as long as you can and then finally you 359 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: get to poop it out and you go home and 360 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: cry for a couple of days. So I guess we 361 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: should talk about some of the valid reasons before we 362 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: get to like the reasons why you probably shouldn't just 363 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 1: do one at home yourself to clean yourself out. Uh. 364 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: There are plenty of valid medical reasons why you want 365 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: to good with doctor or if you're in a hospital 366 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: or something to get an enema. UM One is if 367 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: you have UH, and we're not talking about just your 368 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: garden variety constipation that happens to people. We're talking about 369 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: constipation that has not responded to any other treatments UM 370 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: or possibly if it gets so bad, something called fecal 371 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: impactation can happen, which is just really long term I mean, 372 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: it's what you think, it's really long term constipation where 373 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: you're feces are just so hard and compact and dehydrated 374 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: that it's probably not even possible to get him out 375 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: other than with an enema, right, Um. And that's where 376 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: you just sit there and hold it in for a 377 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: while and just kind of let it loosen up, probably 378 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: with like some warm water that's just breaking it up, 379 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: maybe celine water too. Um you all right, Um, you 380 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: also want might want to do it, like you said, 381 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: for you, if you're going to go get a colonoscopy, 382 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: they might have given you an enema back in the day. Um, 383 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: although I wonder how long they've been doing colonoscopes. At 384 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: some point, enemas and colonoscopes cross paths. But now since 385 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: they figured out they can give you like that that 386 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: magic drink that just makes you poop, poop, poop, they 387 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: don't really need to do enemas any longer. But I 388 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: think that was a that was a point at some time. 389 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: They met in a bar one night. Yeah, we seem 390 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: to have a lot in common. Yeah, I couldn't think 391 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: I really wanted to. That was great, Chuck, there it is, 392 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: thank you. Um here's another reason before having a baby. 393 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: A lot of times when when someone has a baby, 394 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: they can they can poop, And for a long time 395 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: they said, well that's not a good idea because there 396 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: could be bacteria in the feces. This is called cause infections, 397 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: so you get an enema before you have a baby. 398 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: But since the early nineteen eighties that has UH kind 399 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: of gone the way of the dodo because there was 400 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: a paper meta study in n that found that it 401 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: did not reduce UH infection and it basically just added 402 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: another stressful procedure UH to you know, pre birth that 403 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: they didn't want people to go through. Yeah that yeah, 404 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: you just why make it even even more stressful, you 405 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: know exactly. Um. Also, if there's something wrong with your colon, 406 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: they might give you an enema of barium sulfate, which 407 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: um shows up as opaque on X ray. So if 408 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: you have a colon full of barium sulfate, when the 409 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: X ray you, they're going to be able to see 410 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: every nook and cranny of your and it really helps 411 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: quite a bit and you just get to poop out 412 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: some barium. It's the bonus of that one. Uh. This 413 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: one is something I'd never considered, but it makes a 414 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: lot of sense. Uh. If you have to have a 415 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 1: certain kind of medication, like for your colon, getting it 416 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: there that way maybe a really good idea. Because if 417 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: you think about it, if you take it, like maybe 418 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: if it's alterative colitis or something, uh, and you take 419 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: something orally like a steroid, you're gonna maybe metabolize a 420 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: lot of that on the way down, and your body 421 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: is also gonna have uh probably more of a risk 422 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,719 Speaker 1: of side effects because it is being metabolized in your 423 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: whole body, Whereas if you just go right to the 424 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: spot and get that steroid in there, it's sort of 425 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: a one stop shop. Yeah. And also if the steroids 426 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: just meant for the treatment of alterative colitis, say you 427 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: don't want to like move steroids across your entire body, 428 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: which will happen if you get it through ivy or orally. 429 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: This is like it's just super laser focused medication, which 430 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: is great, that's right. Um. And also that it's the 431 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: same it's the same thing with suppositories too. Um. Sometimes 432 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: they'll use a suppository if you can't keep something down 433 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: or if they're trying to target that area because there's 434 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: so many um blood vessels in your anus and rectum, 435 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: I think particularly in your amus that um, they'll just 436 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: take that medicine and food shoot it right through that area. Uh. 437 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: And this is where ed the Grabster points out he 438 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: helped us put this one together, is uh. He said, 439 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: you'll notice that none of the medical reasons were you know, 440 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: just to clean yourself out. Uh. That that is something 441 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: that has you know, Uh, come on. I was about 442 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: to say more recently, but Kellogg was doing it obviously 443 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: a long time ago. And so we're the Egyptians, so 444 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: never mind. There's also there was one other um reason 445 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: for it that I thought was pretty cool. If you 446 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: end up like Needing our Desert Survival episode one day 447 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: and you're overheated, you show up at the hospital, they 448 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: might give you a cool water enema and that will 449 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: help reduce your core bo do you temperature real quick 450 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: inside out method. That's pretty cool. But that is awful, 451 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: but I'll bet it's I'll bet afterwards you're like, that 452 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 1: was amazing. I can't believe that worked. But it didn't. Yeah, 453 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: maybe so alright, chuck, how about our second break. We're 454 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: making it. Man, I haven't felt faint once yet. I 455 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 1: haven't either. Okay, good, Um, So we're gonna take a 456 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: break and come back and finish up enemies. Stuck. I 457 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: don't know that you know it. Stuck. It's a great name. 458 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: That's the name of that. It's a great name. Alright, 459 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: stuck within with an X. Alright. So it's been a 460 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: pretty wild ride so far. We described the process medically speaking. Uh. 461 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: Some of the liquids that you can use medically speaking, 462 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: regular old tap water, UH, soapy water, which we talked about. 463 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes it will be saline water, uh, salt water enemas, 464 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: different concentrations of salt. Depending on what you want to do, 465 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: whether or not you want to draw water into the 466 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: intestines or draw water out, you're gonna use different concentration 467 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: layer levels of salt. Makes sense. What else we mentioned 468 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: burying sulfite, but also oil, right, Yeah, I think if 469 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: you're if you've got the your poop is just not 470 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: coming out, um you, they might give you some sort 471 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: of oil to really kind of break it up a 472 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: little more. To kind of oil, I have a guess 473 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: mineral oil probably to right, that would be my guess. Okay, 474 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: sure that makes sense. I think so too. So. Um, 475 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: you talked about how there's reasons that some people would 476 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: want to be clean, Um, and there are times where 477 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: you might want to be clean. There are sexual activities 478 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: that you might want to be clearer for, and one 479 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: of them is anal sex. Right, that's right. You just 480 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: pass that right along pretty quickly, didn't you. Uh. Yeah, 481 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: Apparently in the porn industry, Uh, it is very common 482 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: practice if you have an anal sex scene on camera 483 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: to get really cleaned out beforehand. Never really thought about that, 484 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: but apparently that's the thing I didn't either. I also saw, 485 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: um that it's fairly common, at least according to Vice 486 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: magazine among bottoms in the gay community. UM, that they 487 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: will they'll basically give themselves animals before sex. And in 488 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: this article, the whole premise of it was like essentially 489 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: that this doctor was saying, like, you don't need to 490 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: do that, first of all, like most of like any 491 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: remnant poop that's in there. Like here's the other thing, 492 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: this is why you shouldn't do this in the first place, 493 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: no matter what the reason, outside of a medical setting, 494 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: you don't need to because most people who's like works 495 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: are functioning properly, are expelling almost all of the poop 496 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: that ever goes through their body. There's so little left 497 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: over um that this is really unnecessary. And then also 498 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: it's um with with anal sex in particular, you're rarely 499 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 1: reaching the rectum. It's almost all anus, and there's not 500 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: really any leftover poop in the anus. It would be 501 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: in the rectum. Yeah. Plus if you get that bidet, 502 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: it's crossing over with all kinds of episodes. You're clean 503 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: up there anyway, exactly, You're yes, for sure. Uh. And 504 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: along these same lines, the sexual pleasure is another reason 505 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: somebody might uh want to do this, like and we're 506 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: not just talking about um anal sex. We're talking about 507 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: b D s M practices. Uh. It is the thing 508 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: in that community where some people might be into, uh 509 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: like a humiliation fetish where you are forced to hold 510 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: in an enema as as part of control, or maybe 511 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: a medical fetish. And this happens in the b D 512 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: s M community. And that's another reason you might get 513 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: an enema. Yeah, and not it's like the dy animal. 514 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: It's not prepared ring for a sex act. It is 515 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: in itself the sex act, right, that's right, part of 516 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: the sex act. So I was reading about that too. Yeah, 517 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: and I saw it was like humiliation, like you had 518 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: to ask permission to to go finally, Um, that that 519 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: was part of it. But I also saw, um, it 520 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: can also be treated as like a loving gift or 521 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: something like that. It just all depends on how it's approached. Basically, 522 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: gotcha and that parents was the aforementioned section and now 523 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: it's over. Did we talk about anything kids can't know about? Well, 524 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: it depends on how open minded you are and hold 525 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: your kids are. I think I was teasing, I know. 526 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: Uh so I talked a little bit about it being 527 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: a fad, but then I walked it back. But it 528 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: is a fad and it has been for a while now. 529 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: Um the notion like we've kind of harped on that. Um, 530 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's not super expensive. It's you can usually 531 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: get like an enemy kit for not a whole lot 532 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: of money, Like, it doesn't take a lot of high 533 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: priced equipment, and it's something that you can do in 534 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: the private to your own home. And I think along 535 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: with like uh, fasting and juice cleanses, it's it's sort 536 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: of in that same category as as this stuff where 537 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: you're where you at least you're intending to clean toxins 538 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: out of your body. And plus also it has a 539 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: real goop vibe too, you know. And Gwyneth Paltrow's coup 540 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: not just well well said yes yeah, so um again 541 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: yes if you're if you're doing this and you're you're 542 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: fine medically, if you don't have digestive issues, um, then 543 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: there's no reason for you to do this. It's superfluous 544 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 1: and it can also be potentially dangerous. That's the point. 545 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: I don't think like the doctors who are saying like, 546 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,239 Speaker 1: don't do this if you don't need any help with 547 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: your digestive tract are just trying to like, you know, 548 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: pooh pooh, anyone's fun. But um, what they're saying is 549 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: is like there's there's actual risks with this kind of 550 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: stuff that you could injure yourself and in some really 551 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: horrific ways. I think this is where the fainting for 552 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: you really kind of stepped up. Yeah. Um, all right, 553 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: well I guess we'll just start with uh perforations. Sure. Uh, 554 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: if you are inserting something uh you know, into your anus, 555 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: up into your rectum. There is a chance that you 556 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: could perforate something. Uh. You could have one of those 557 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: nozzles go through the wall of the rectum. You can 558 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: make a even the tiniest hole in the wall of 559 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 1: your colon because of the pressure of that fluid um. 560 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: None of this is a good thing at all. It 561 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: could lead to scepsis. Uh. It is all of a 562 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: sudden you have um things that aren't sterile where they 563 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: shouldn't be, and it's just not a good idea, right. Um. 564 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: You can you can um infect your parietal peritonium, which 565 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: holds your abdomen or your abdominal organs in place and 566 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: doesn't want any poop water in there at all. It 567 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: would be a bad jam. You can also even just 568 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: do more minor damage to where you just kind of 569 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: scrape it or dn't or something like that, and it's 570 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: not going to feel very good. And the reason why 571 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: you're at risk of perforating or denting or scraping your 572 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: rectum is because it's not like a straight shot from 573 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: your anus up to your rectum up to your um 574 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: your large intestine. It's your anus goes one way and 575 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it starts to double back 576 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: and that's your rectum. So you really have to have 577 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: some finesse here, and if you go too far, you 578 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: can really be in some big trouble. Yeah. Absolutely, Um, 579 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: we talked about drawing water out. That could obviously lead 580 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: to some pretty severe dehydration if you lose a significant 581 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:39,239 Speaker 1: amount of water. Um sodium phosphate. Uh, if you use 582 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: an enemy that contains sodium phosphate, that can really lead 583 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: to severe dehydration. And we're talking like you know where 584 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: your kidneys and your heart could be damaged. Yeah, because 585 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: I mean we're talking electro lights here, so the electrical 586 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: conductivity of your heart depends on that kind of stuff. 587 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: So yes, if you have a heart condition, you should 588 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: probably not be doing animals, especially sailine animals for sure. 589 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: But also even if it's not sailing, if you introduce 590 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: too much water into your body, you can suffer from 591 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: water toxicity, which is basically like the opposite of that 592 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: kind of imbalance of too much salt, you have too 593 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: little salt, and that can cause problems too. Yeah, and 594 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: aside from heart conditions and high blood pressure, which they 595 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: don't recommend you get self administer animals in those cases, 596 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: if you have any kind of complications with your coals, 597 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 1: your colon, uh, any kind of underlying condition there. You 598 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: don't want to be giving yourself anenema just to clean 599 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: yourself out. Okay, got it? You got anything else? I 600 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: got nothing else. I feel like this is pretty short one. 601 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: We spent through this one somehow. Well, I was gonna say, 602 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: we have a few minutes I could share my experience 603 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, because you didn't really touch on any 604 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: of it. So if you go and get a colonic 605 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: um or colon, hydrotherapy is what it's often called. At 606 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: like a medspa, they often have them. They're not gonna 607 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: like administer an enema to you. They actually have a 608 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: machine at that. All I owe is you to self 609 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: administer a continuous enema that they basically leave on for 610 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. And it's a really kind of weird 611 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: ingenious contraption. But essentially it's like a the the kind 612 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 1: of table that you would um give birth on, so 613 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: your legs are kind of spread apart, but then in 614 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: the middle of the table is a hole with a 615 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: tube coming up from it, and that tube is what 616 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: you have to like lower yourself onto. That's where you 617 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: put the umbrella this un umbrella that's right, and then 618 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: around the tube is where everything comes back out. Right, 619 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: So UM in front of you is like a little 620 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: shower nozzle and it's invariably UM the cheap home depot 621 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: ten dollar like fake cut crystal plastic shower nozzle. You 622 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: know I'm talking about UM. So you turn it on 623 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 1: and and you're in control, so you control how much 624 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: is going in at any point in time because you 625 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,359 Speaker 1: can feel it immediately start to fill up in your 626 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: in your colon and your guts and UM. You'll probably 627 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: try to hold it as long as you can, and 628 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: you might think that that's gonna be a minute or 629 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: ten minutes if you're really optimistic, but it ends up 630 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: being like eight to ten seconds the most you could 631 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: possibly hold it. For me, at least it was. And 632 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: then when it comes back out, it goes through that 633 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: tube or through that hole around the tube, through a 634 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: plastic tube that goes to the that takes it out 635 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: as waste of drains it away. And like I said, 636 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,959 Speaker 1: this contraption is really ingenious. They set a mirror up 637 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: so you can see it coming through the tube, so 638 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: you can see what's coming out of you and uh, 639 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: it's really something. They leave you in there for about 640 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 1: half an hour, and like I said, UM, you can 641 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: either walk away feeling like wow, I really feel like 642 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: a million bucks, which I still to this day don't understand. 643 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: But it was not placebo effect because I'd had it 644 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: before and that hadn't happened. This wasn't like the first 645 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: time like it was, I don't understand what the mechanism 646 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: could have been. Um. And then other times you can 647 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: feel like really just just violated, is the only way 648 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: to put it. Like you violated yourself somehow. So it's 649 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:10,280 Speaker 1: either walking on sunshine or a Smith's song pretty much. Wow. 650 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: So is there a human in there with you? That's 651 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: what I didn't gather. The human um explains it to 652 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: you and then leaves and then runs and you see 653 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: a little dust cloud. Basically. Yeah. The only time that 654 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 1: the human will come back in while you're doing this 655 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: is when you haven't inserted the tube far enough into 656 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: your anus, because water starts spraying out and they'll they'll 657 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: you'll basically be like, I think something's wrong, and they'll 658 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: come in and really like you you don't have this 659 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: far enough up and you're like, no, I really do, 660 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: I really do, And they're like, you don't. You have 661 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: to put it further up, and you have to put 662 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: it further up, and then once you get it up 663 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: there correctly, the water stop spraying out and you can 664 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: get down to business. One thing I didn't look up 665 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: was the coffee andema. Do you know what the deal 666 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: is with that? Is that just a variation of the liquid? 667 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: I yeah, as far as I know, I don't understand 668 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 1: what it's used for, but I know that, like, because 669 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 1: there's so many blood vessels there, you would be pretty 670 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 1: hyped up on caffeine if you use like fully caffeinated coffee. 671 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,319 Speaker 1: Well that's probably the purpose, right, Well, yes, And then 672 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: we should also say tangential that people have used alcohol 673 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: in animals before, and that is potentially deadly, actually probably deadly, 674 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 1: depending on what kind of alcohol you put in there 675 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: and how often you do it. Um, because you're just 676 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: absorbing alcohol way faster than you would if you would 677 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: drink it, so your blood alcohol M volume can get 678 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: really high, really fast, and you can give yourself alcohol poisoning. 679 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: So under no circumstances do that. Oh my lord, Yeah, 680 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,759 Speaker 1: what is wrong with people? I don't know. I have 681 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: nothing else. I'm just I'm in a feuge state. Okay, 682 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: all right, I don't have anything else either. Um, well 683 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: that's it for animals. Everybody chucks in a feuge state, 684 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: which means, of course it's time for listener mail. Uh. 685 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: We got a couple of replies, and this is, um, 686 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: in lieu of you your assertion that there would be 687 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: no cocaine in small town Michigan in the nineteen and nine. 688 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 1: One person really schooled me. Yeah, I don't think this 689 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 1: was it. Uh, this is from a West Virginian. No, 690 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: this is the guy. Really. Yeah, not in a hostile manner. 691 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying that it took me to school. I got you. Um, 692 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: I thought you meant in a you know, get in 693 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 1: there and take your enema like a big boy way. Right. 694 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 1: I have to ask permission. Greetings from a long time 695 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: listener in West Virginia. I'm writing in regards to death 696 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: from astral Projection, where the autopsy report determined that Robert's 697 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: death was due to a cocaine overdose. Josh expressed skepticism 698 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 1: about cocaine being in Ann Arbor and seventy five because 699 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: of the high roller image. I can't speak to that directly, 700 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, But I can tell 701 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: you that cocaine was absolutely in Morgantown. Is that Morganton 702 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: or Morgantowntown. It just sends like it'd be one of 703 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,439 Speaker 1: these places. It says, no, it's Morgan. Well, I said 704 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: it was Morgantown, so that means, of course it's uh. 705 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 1: And we sure have never been the epicenter of financial 706 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: markets or a hang out of the rich and famous. 707 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: But I was a college sophomore then, and it was 708 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: in more than one room where it happened. A lot 709 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: of the illegal drugs that make it to Morganton Town 710 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,560 Speaker 1: come from Detroit, and to this day, drug arrets here 711 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: often involved people from there. If cocaine made it to 712 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: the m town home of West Virginia University in nine, 713 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: it's pretty much a certainty that also made it to 714 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: ann Arbor. I love the podcast, of course, this is 715 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: anecdotal's still I love the podcast. I'm happy to have 716 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 1: a chance to write in and shed a little more 717 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,360 Speaker 1: light on an interesting mystery. Should you read this on 718 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 1: the podcast, please don't use my name. If my ninety 719 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,839 Speaker 1: three year old mom got wind of this, she'd still 720 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:56,720 Speaker 1: ground me. So that is from Jeffrey Charles. That's anonymous. 721 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 1: That's great, Thanks Anonymous, that was a fantastic email. I 722 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: really feel like, yes, it is anecdotal, but they make 723 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: just about as good a point as you possibly could, 724 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: so I rescind it. I still don't understand why this 725 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: this yogi would have suddenly gotten into cocaine. Agree with 726 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: that when everybody in his life says no, including friends, 727 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: not just his mom and his friends too. But but 728 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy makes a pretty good point. It's possible. 729 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: It's possible. If you want to get in touch with 730 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,479 Speaker 1: us and let us know what's possible, we're always looking 731 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: for that kind of thing.
