1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Toyota. Let's go places. Welcome to

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: stuff you should know from dot com. Hey, and welcome

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. With me is always

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: this Charles W. Chuck Bryant, who just flew in to

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: be here. Yeah, I was. I was on the concorde.

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: I was just in Paris. Dude, dude, I've seen a concorde.

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah the Air and Space Museum, UM, not

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: the one in downtown d C. But the one out

9
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 1: by Dullest Airport at the new museum. Oh my god,

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: it's awesome. I wanted on board so bad. But it's

11
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: like you're standing right next to and underneath a concorde.

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: It's cool. They also have like Discovery Space Shuttle Discovery,

13
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: You're standing right next to that. It's a really neat museum.

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: Why did the end up grounding the concorde? Was it

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: not cost deficient? It was it wasn't and like any

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: time there was any kind of problem, like every and

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: died really oh my god. Yeah. But also the US

18
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: UM outlawed supersonic air travel, so like you couldn't fly

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: across the interior of the continent UM, which cut out

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: like a lot of revenue source. Yeah, so basically it's

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: just um and I don't think Air France or British

22
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: Airways ever even broke even in all those years. Yeah.

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: But and then in two thousand and three there was

24
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: that most recent crash, that last crash, and after that

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: that was it for the Concord. Yeah, I think, um,

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, my friend Justin who you know,

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: his mom, when they had like some final flights of

28
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: the Concorde flight of the Concorde, she went on one

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: of those as uh like just to do it. I

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna be wrong with that, but I seem

31
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: to remember that from my past. You could go from

32
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: London to New York in five hours what is usually

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: like eight? Yeah, eight or nine or something. And do

34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: you remember when Phil Collins played band Aid. He played

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: a show in London and got on the Concord, flew

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: to New York and then played a show there like

37
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: in the same night. That was pretty cool. Was it

38
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: live age? But you know what's the difference. The one

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: thing I knew was that it wasn't far made Phil Collins.

40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: Did he play Farmade? I don't think so. That was

41
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: more Willie Willie and Mellencamp and Neil Young and all

42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: those cats. Yeah so, um, Phil Collins flying back and

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: forth between London and New York to deliver his concert.

44
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: Thank god that happened. I love Phil Collins. I think that.

45
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, dude, Um, that wouldn't have been possible had

46
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: it not been for something that we like to call

47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: the jet age. Starting around the late fifties, the jet

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: became the preferred motive travel, which, interestingly, a ticket on

49
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: a jet was actually less than a ticket on like

50
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: a propeller piston engine planet. Yeah, interest isn't that interesting? Um,

51
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: But in the late fifties you had mcdonnald, Douglas and

52
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: Boeing really kind of duking it out to create the

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: jet to get people very quickly from one part of

54
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the country to another. And it opened up commercial air

55
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: travel and all of a sudden, you didn't have to

56
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: be the richest person in the world to get from

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, New York to l A, you know, without

58
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: having to drive. We're taking forever to get there a train,

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: prop plane, whatever, and admitted jet lag essentially, Well, there

60
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: you go, thanks for finishing my intro for me. Well,

61
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: we've only been around Well, we've been leaping time zones

62
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: for less than a hundred years, so there are some

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: beliefs that eventually we may evolve out of jet lag,

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: but for now, we haven't been doing it long enough.

65
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: It's our bodies to even know what the heck is

66
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: going on, right, And that's pretty much what jet lag is.

67
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: Our body does not know what's going on. There's another

68
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: term for jet leg It's called desynchronosis. It's a great

69
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: word for it. Yeah, your body has a biological clock,

70
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: and it when you travel from one times onto another

71
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: in fairly short order, your body gets out of sync

72
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: with its environment and all of a sudden, all the

73
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: cues that uses to regulate itself and all sorts of

74
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: things that your body does, it gets out of sync.

75
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: And what happens when you get out of sync, Well,

76
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that happens, Chuck, I'm glad

77
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: you asked that. Um. You can have cognitive problems, problems

78
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: thinking and problem solving and just general mental problems short

79
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: term of course and temporary, but you're not thinking quite right.

80
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: Health problems. Um. There is a study in two thousand

81
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: six UM from the University of Virginia that found out

82
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: that um lab rats who were given jet lag, who

83
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: were exposed to simulate a jet lag, which is basically

84
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: I think a DC to Paris flight once a week

85
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: for I guess most of their lives. Probably older ones

86
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: died much more quickly than younger ones. So if you're old,

87
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: which I've noticed that my jet LaGG has gotten worse

88
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: as I've aged. For sure. I didn't used to get

89
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: jet lagged at all. Yeah, I didn't know what the

90
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: big problem was, and now it's like one of the

91
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: worst things that can never happen to you. Well yeah, uh, fatigue, alertness, irritability, disorientation, depression,

92
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: gas intestinal illnesses. Yeah, that really mess you up. That

93
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: comes from flying to get air gas. It was just

94
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: the change in pressure like creates real gas. It's not

95
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: like methane or anything. It's just like gas bubble in

96
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: your guts. So she's like fart a lot on planes

97
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: or after you you can as a result. Sure, and

98
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: you know what you should do. People. By the way,

99
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna insert some flying etiquette here in there. Are

100
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: you gonna get up, go the bathroom and fart? Don't

101
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: fart in your seat? Why are you looking at me? Well,

102
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: because you're a cross room me now, I just you

103
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: know me and flying now it's just so annoying to

104
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: me because it's like a eighteenth century, you know, bus station.

105
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: These days when you were flying to your laughing, everybody's

106
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: wearing like pajamas and like teenage girls with their boots.

107
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's stressed appropriately. You don't even have

108
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: to dress up. But it's like, like, I don't want

109
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: to see what you look like in your living room,

110
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: you know. I know, Well, you take your shoes off,

111
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: which is something I'm There's nothing wrong with that because

112
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: my feet do not smell. If my feet smelled in

113
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: my shoes smell, I wouldn't take them off. I'm very,

114
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: very aware of that kind of thing. But it's funny

115
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: that you bring that up because the other night I

116
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: watched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, which is that movie really

117
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: holds up um and John Candy takes his shoes off

118
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: and then it takes the socks off, and I, well,

119
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't take my socks off, right, But I thought

120
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: of you, because I know that you think that's a

121
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: terrible thing to do. Yeah, I just think you should

122
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: remain fully clothed when you're out in public like that.

123
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm cool with taking the shoes off as long as

124
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: the socks stay on and your feet. Don'est thing. But okay,

125
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: So so you're on a plane, you're You've got all

126
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: these symptoms awaiting you, and if you are um part

127
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: of the percent of Americans, you are going to get

128
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: jet lag. Yeah, I wonder what's going on with a

129
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: six percent. They're probably like younger people who don't know

130
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. Do you think, yes? Interesting? Because

131
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: this biological I just I bet you there's something to

132
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: that six percent. Besides, you're five years old, you think

133
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: I doubt if they interviewed a lot of five year

134
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: old about jet lag for the study, well not five,

135
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: but I mean like when I was I was like,

136
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: what's everyone's problem with jet Like I don't understand what

137
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: they're talking about. So and I specifically remember being interviewed

138
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: to ask if I got it, like, and I remember going,

139
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: but it is a problem. It's unpleasant for some people.

140
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: But if you're in the military or if you're some huge,

141
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: big shot CEO, they worry that, you know, it could

142
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: impair you as a pilot or as a soldier or

143
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: as a big thinker and the head of a company

144
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: or deal closer. Yeah, you don't want some some jet

145
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: lags CEO lady going in there and not making good

146
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: decisions and making a bad deal. How can you be

147
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: a game changer if you don't have your a game on.

148
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: That's got to be the motto of some company. It

149
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: probably I thought, I just made it up. I know

150
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: they plugged somebody like price Pister or something. Uh. And

151
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: then what was the other study in two thousand ten

152
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: the Universe at cal it'd a study of hamsters and

153
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: it said that um on the health tip that the

154
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: the lab rats created new neurons at about half the

155
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: rate of of rats who didn't fly. So yeah, that's

156
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: not good. No, your brain is literally not functioning as

157
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: well as it should. It's not growing. Nope. Um And

158
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: I said about the dying from that study about rats

159
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 1: dying from being exposed to jet lag, you know the

160
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: older ones. And um, they've also found that in humans

161
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: you can have a harder menstruation if you're a lady,

162
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: um and uh, you can develop heart disease and diabetes

163
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: more readily. Basically, your entire body is just totally thrown

164
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: out of whack. You're hungrier at weird times. You're just

165
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: out of it. You're you just don't feel good, stressed out.

166
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: You have a lot of stress hormones going. So what's

167
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: going on, Chuck? What is jet lag? Jet lag? Well,

168
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: we need to talk about the biological clock that we

169
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: all have. It's basically, uh, the article here describes it

170
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: of groupings of interacting molecules and cells throughout the body.

171
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: That's a good way to say it. Everything's working together. Uh,

172
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: they tell our glands, Hey, release these hormones at this

173
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: time of day to make you sleepy, melatonin, which we'll

174
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: get to a more detail. Maybe adjust your body temperature.

175
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: It's a couple of hours where you're gonna wake up,

176
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: so let's make you really hot for some reason. And

177
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: the body is all in tuned with each other, all

178
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: these things firing like uh, the master time piece. Who

179
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: wrote this anyway, this was a pretty good petric. He's

180
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: done some good stuff. Yeah, it is a master time piece.

181
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: And uh, there are twenty thousand nerve cells called the

182
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: super chismatic nucleus we'll called the sc N. It's at

183
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: the front of the brain, right near the optic nerve,

184
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: and that is what keeps your circadian rhythm and your

185
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: sleep and waking cycles going like clockwork. That's it. That's

186
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: the biological clock. The sec it's pretty neat. Um and

187
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: the fact that it's located by the optic nerve is

188
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: kind of telling. Yeah, because one of the ways that

189
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: it sets itself, it actually has as it's on a

190
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: set cycle twenty four point six five hour cycle, and

191
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: it's since it's off a little bit um, it uses

192
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: cues to reset itself. And one of the big cues

193
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: it uses is natural light. Yeah. Some people think that

194
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: it's the light that the brain is super photosensitive and

195
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: that light really is the key to everything there. Well, yeah,

196
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: like the pineal gland apparently, even though it's buried inside

197
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: the brain is very light responsive, and the pineal gland

198
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: is one of the things that makes or it makes melatonin,

199
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: which has to do with sleep cycles. Melatonin is the

200
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: good sleepy time stuff. So, um, you this whole, this

201
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: whole rhythm, that twenty four point six five hour cycle

202
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: is called your circadian rhythm, circadian rhythm, and um, when

203
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: it's time to sleep, when it's about the time that

204
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: you went to sleep the night before, and it's dark out,

205
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: your brain's melatonin production increases, and also you've been building

206
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: up in your head all day. This stuff called a

207
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Dina sign, right, and that they recently found has been

208
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: linked to um being sleepy. What's called sleep pressure. You know,

209
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: when you try to stay up and you're just getting

210
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: sleepier and sleeper, it's harder and harder to resist. That

211
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: experience is called sleep pressure. And they think that it's

212
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: a Dina sign responsible for that, and it accumulates in

213
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: the brain until finally about the time that you should

214
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: be falling asleep, the sleep pressure is just too much

215
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: to overcome and you fall asleep. Yeah, my Uhi Emily's family,

216
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: my Ohio family has a lot of sleep pressure. We

217
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: call it the yearly gas leak over the holidays. It's

218
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: funny and I'll look up at like seven forty five,

219
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: will be watching TV and like everybody's asleep after like

220
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: a big turkey dinner or something like that, Well, after

221
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: drinking all day and eating stuff like that, and it's

222
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: all warm and toasty, so I get it, but it's

223
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: still kind of funny. Well, it's called the gas and

224
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: you just made me feel so cozy. In that description,

225
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: it is in a very cozy household. Um, so you

226
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: get the mellet tone and production increased, you got a

227
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: DNA sign built up, and you reach that sleep pressure

228
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: threshold and all this stuff is kind of going on

229
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: this general pattern that's a tune to you and your rhythms.

230
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, are you a night owl? Do you like

231
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: to get up early? Do you like to sleep in late?

232
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: Like this is your own circadian rhythm. Yeah, And if

233
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: you mess any of that up without flying, you're gonna

234
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: be thrown out of sorts. If you're a night owl

235
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you get a job or

236
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: you gotta get up super early, it's gonna suck for

237
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: a little while until your body adjusts. It is gonna

238
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: suck for a little while. Um. And it takes a

239
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: while for the body to adjust. But it also we

240
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: we've never really, except for the last sixty years, we've

241
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: never really had the capability of exposing the body to

242
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: a sudden shock of just falling out of rhythm like that.

243
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Like I'm flying to Australia right exactly where there's like

244
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: a twelve or thirteen hour difference. Man, I've never I've

245
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: done the europe thing, but I've never experienced yet like

246
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: to that degree, I'm imagine that it would take me

247
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: quite a while to adjust. It does, and it sucks

248
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: because it takes away a percentage of your vacation almost.

249
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: It definitely does. When when you and I went to

250
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: Japan got there, we flew there, we flew um west

251
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: to east, no east to west, because we flew up

252
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: in over Canada and down Russia. It was but even still,

253
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: like when we got there, it was like three in

254
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: the morning and we're just like wide away and that

255
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: took a very little while to adjust. But when we

256
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: flew west to east on the way back get killed.

257
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: It took two solid weeks being almost like clinically out

258
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: of our minds before we got back on our seap.

259
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: That actually, you were pretty wacky. Do you remember There

260
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: was a period where like the first four days when

261
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: we got up, we would we both wake up in

262
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: the middle of the night. I wouldn't even talk. We

263
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: just get up and go out to the car and

264
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: drive to crystals and like eat some crystals and go

265
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: back home and go to bed, and like we've never

266
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: done that before and haven't done it since, but like

267
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: we just did it for like four nights in a

268
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: row because of jet like, so we're doing stuff like

269
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: that all the time. But yeah, going from west to

270
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: east is the worst, and especially if it's like that

271
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: was the thirteen hour time difference. Yeah, what do they

272
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: call that? It's a phase delay going east to west,

273
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: in a phase advance going west to east. And it's

274
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: kind of like you can look at it like if

275
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: your if your clock, if you're looking at a clock

276
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: in your bedtime is a set time. In phase delay,

277
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: you're just taking that hour hand and moving it back,

278
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: So you're just putting off your bedtime a little longer.

279
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: With phase advance, you're moving that our hand closer suddenly

280
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: to your bedtime, even though your body is not ready

281
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: to sleep. It's bedtime now. Well, it's just interesting that

282
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: the body under you know, I mean, it makes sense.

283
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: I guess what I find interesting is that we've figured

284
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: out a way to technologically and artificially subject the body

285
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: to like this kind of shock, and that it responds

286
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: the way that it does. You know that it's it

287
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: starts like overproducing this horm when you're under producing that

288
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: horn vine and you go crazy. Well, yeah, and since

289
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, that's one of the things that happened.

290
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: It really, It literally disrupts biological functions, releases stress hormones,

291
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: drives up your blood pressure since inflammation, stimulating chemical markers

292
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,479
Speaker 1: through your arteries. Um, it's gonna mess up your appetite,

293
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: like you said, because you're used to eating it regular times,

294
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: and that's why you're eating crystal because it was that

295
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: was probably a dinner time in Japan, I guess. Yeah,

296
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: But haven't you ever noticed, like when you get up early,

297
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: like say you have an early flight or something like,

298
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: you can get up at a normal time, say you

299
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: normally get up at eight, Yeah, you're you're maybe you're

300
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: a little hungry or whatever, but you could skip breakfast.

301
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. But if you're up and

302
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: like moving around and at six or something like that,

303
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: for some reason, you're just starving. Like, hasn't that ever

304
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: happened to you? Yeah, I'm usually not super hungry in

305
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: the morning, regardless of what time I wake up. If

306
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm up really early, I am ravenous for some reason.

307
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: And I'll also find and I've always wonder what this was,

308
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: that I I'm not as hungry if I don't eat anything,

309
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: but if I have like the banana. Then it just

310
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: makes me super hungry, yea. Or have you noticed if

311
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: you have like red meat the night before, whenever you

312
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: get up the next day, you're just ravenous, too real? Yeah,

313
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: that happens to me. Interesting. I don't need a lot

314
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: of red meat anymore, but I'll you don't, no, I

315
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: mean just because Emily doesn't so, but you know, I'll

316
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: still have my steak every now and then. What are

317
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: you eating these days? I mean, same thing I've always

318
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: been eaten since I've been with Emily, which is a

319
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: lot of chicken and turkey and fish. What kind of fish? Uh?

320
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 1: It depends. I'll make like talapia tacos or grilled salmon

321
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: or like, uh, what's the more flaky? Like not ma

322
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: he but I'll eat my he to the flounder. Yeah, yeah,

323
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: I'll just go to the farmer's market. What looks what

324
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: looks good and fresh? You know they just took mackerel

325
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: off the Safe to eat or or Fine to Eat

326
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: Environmentally list. I didn't know it was on that. Yeah. Tuna,

327
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: of course, love tuna, oh man. But you shouldn't need

328
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: a ton of tuna either, I think the market. Oh

329
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: is that right? Yeah? I eat a lot of raw tuna.

330
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: Yeah that they say that. You know, Jeremy Piven supposedly

331
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: had some sort of mercury poisoning for meeting too much sushi,

332
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: which is why, Yeah, he had to bag out of

333
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: some movie or show because of it. But then I

334
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: think later on they said no, I think he was

335
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: using as an excuse and it wasn't verified that he

336
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: had mercury poisoning. That's a lot like the twinkie defense.

337
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: It meant, yeah, Jeremy Piven had the tuna defense. But

338
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: that's why they'd say, if you're pregnant, you shouldn't need

339
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: a lot of Yeah, yeah, for sure. Man, that was

340
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: a sidetrack. I think I'm hungry, is what. Alright? So

341
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: why is it so difficult to overcome Josh? Well, like

342
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: we said, um, your bodies, your buddy's circadian rhythm is

343
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: not exactly twenty four hours, twenty four point six five hours,

344
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: and so every day you're ready for sleep a little

345
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: later and a little later and a little later. And

346
00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: that's why, at least Patrick Tiger thinks you are. It's

347
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: easier to adjust going from east to west, because that

348
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,719
Speaker 1: means you're gonna have to stay up later to hit

349
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: your normal bedtime. Anyway, since we're already kind of doing that,

350
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 1: it's not that big of a deal. And it's not

351
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: just him. I think that's proven. Like NASA says the

352
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: same thing. Well, NASA and Patrick. Another reason is is

353
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: not just light body temperature we said fluctuates. Um, it's

354
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: minimum temperature. Oh I'm sorry, I thought it was maximum

355
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: three hours before you get up. It's minimum temperature. Yeah, alright.

356
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: I thought you like got really hot, like right before

357
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: you woke up. You might, but Team in is typically

358
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: three hours before you normally awake. And they found that

359
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: if you're if you have to wake up like during

360
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: Team in what your body is normally used to being

361
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: at Team in, that's when your jet legs the absolute worst. Um.

362
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: And I think it's because that's a cue that your body,

363
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: your whole body has. It's like, Okay, we're will in

364
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: deep sleep and we're going to be in a while,

365
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it's like I have

366
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: to wake up and go to this meeting. The body's

367
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: not it's it's whacked out of its normal process of waking.

368
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's sometimes if I get up super early.

369
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: I have a harder time warming up through the day.

370
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 1: I wonder if that has it makes a difference. I

371
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: would bet it does. Like if you're used to waking

372
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: up at a certain body temperature, you know it takes

373
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: care of that no matter what, every single time, no

374
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: matter why you're cold or how cold you are, go

375
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: spend fifteen minutes in a sauna and you will be

376
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: right as rain. It's just a miracle, would box. Yeah,

377
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: I do that with the hot shower, with the steam.

378
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes it doesn't take with me really. Yeah. Sometimes like

379
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: I'll still get out of the shower and like I'm

380
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: chilled to the core. Still he's in there. Like I

381
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: will stay in there for a while and like really

382
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: try to heat up, and like most of the time,

383
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 1: like it will get my temperature like up some with

384
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: a saun it's like resetting it back to your normal

385
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: setting every time you're kind of cold. Though for a man,

386
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: like you're all chili, uh, when I'm not, And I

387
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: know I'm super hot. You are very hot, but I

388
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: think you're also a little cold. But it's pushed together

389
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: and we make a very well adjusted human body temperature wise. Um,

390
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: So ask anyone what their remedy is for jet lag,

391
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: and you'll get a ten different answers. As tender for people,

392
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: you get ten different answers. That's what you say. Um,

393
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: ask Bruce Willis what is he gonna say? Make fist

394
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: fits toes? Make fist with your toes. It's always been

395
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things, and I've tried it and

396
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 1: it's silly. Of course it doesn't work, but I just

397
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: do it now because it wasn't die Hard Argyle told

398
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: him to do that. No, no no, no, that was on

399
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: the plane. I thought it was Argyle the driver. It was.

400
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: It was on the plane as they were flying in

401
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: and of course and die Hard. It was just to

402
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: set up to get him without choosing socks on because

403
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: I played a part in the movie. That's a good movie.

404
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: First one. She's name Fencer. Yeah. Um, But like I said,

405
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: some people use herbal remedies. Some people take melatonin, which

406
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: is not f the approved, but you can take melotonin

407
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: athetic melotonin. We should say this isn't this article It

408
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: tells you how much have taken win and we'll tell

409
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: you too, but we should also had a disclaimer. Melotonin

410
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: has interactions with drugs like diabetes drugs dinners um birth

411
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: control pills. You may want to check out what melatonin

412
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: might do with your medication before you take it. You

413
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: definitely should um. Some people just say, you know what,

414
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a red eye and I'm gonna take

415
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: some valume and drink some Scotch and just knock myself

416
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: out for the whole flight, and that'll do the trick

417
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: that works. If you want to die, explain well, there's

418
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old woman who recently died of

419
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: a stroke because and she was otherwise healthy apparently, but

420
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: she passed out on a seven hour flight or went

421
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: to sleep or whatever. But she slept for seven hours

422
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: on a flight and developed thrombosis, which is a blood

423
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: clot and apparently it went from probably her leg to

424
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: her brain. And again when we went to Japan on

425
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: I think it was Japan Airlines, they make you get up. Yeah,

426
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: They're like, okay, it's like it's it's stretching time. Yeah,

427
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: and they show you how to do it, like sitting

428
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: down at your seat, but they're also like, why don't

429
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: you get up to walk around? So yeah, you kind

430
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: of have to because you can develop a fatal blood

431
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: clot just from sitting on a plane because of the

432
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: change in pressure and just sitting for that long. Yeah,

433
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to sleep in a sitting position. The

434
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: body is meant to be horizontal and prone. But that's

435
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: just for rich people on fluck. Oh, like up in

436
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: first class now where they have the sleepers, that's they're

437
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: they're so obnoxious. They should put first class in the

438
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: back so you don't have to walk through that scene.

439
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: I know. The funniest is when they have like the

440
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: gauzy curtains separating first class coach and you can it's like,

441
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: I see that you're having a salad. I can see

442
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: your salad. That hotel looks nice. Give me some of

443
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: that salad. So there are all kinds of home remedy

444
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: in little lives, tales of what you can do. But

445
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: if you're an expert, like if you're NASA or if

446
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: you are Chicago's Rush University Medical Center, you have some

447
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: real advice, like gradually adjusting your circadian rhythm actually using

448
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: a lightbox, which is a lot of effort, but I

449
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: bet it works. It does. It also works for seasonal

450
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: effective disorder. Sure. Um, so there's actually I came across

451
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: the paper and all tweeted out and posted on Facebook

452
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: or something blog about it. We'll do something with it.

453
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: But um, because I couldn't get I couldn't get it

454
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: enough in time to really speak about it. But there's

455
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: there's this guy who came up with a paper that's

456
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: basically like a computational method for offsetting jet leg and

457
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: figuring out how to adjust your schedule accordingly. Is it

458
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: like this in the article someone? That's the impression that

459
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: I have, But it's like really detailed, but basically, um,

460
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: Chicago's Rush University Medical Center researchers say, what you want

461
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: to do is if you're going from west to east,

462
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: which is the devil one, Um, you want to start

463
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: going to bed an hour earlier every day. Yeah, and um,

464
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: like several days, maybe like five days before your trip,

465
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: you want to start going to bed an hour earlier.

466
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: And not just an hour earlier across the board, but

467
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: earlier and earlier and earlier. To wear right before your trip,

468
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,239
Speaker 1: you're going to bed about five hours earlier. And if

469
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna take melatonin and you've done all your research,

470
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: you want to take a half a half a milligram

471
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: of melatonin four and a half hours before bedtime and

472
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: then so you want to progressively push that time earlier

473
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: and earlier in the day as you're going to bed

474
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: earlier and earlier at night, and then when you wake up,

475
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 1: blast yourself with the light box. Yeah, well east to west.

476
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: That was west to east, east to west. You want

477
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: to not blast yourself with light. You want to like

478
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: work on glasses in the morning and avoid light in

479
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: the morning. But they say, use a light box at

480
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: your normal bedtime and stay up later, right, which makes sense.

481
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: It sounds pretty torture, it does. There's a New York

482
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: Times article too, called a Battle Plan for jet lag,

483
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: and um, they've they've done a study with Major League

484
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: Baseball actually because they travel a lot, and they said

485
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: that over two year span, teams that went eastward gave

486
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: up an average of one extra run per game. That interesting,

487
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: but um, they say, which is the old I guess

488
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: it's not a wives tale of NASA's confirming it. They

489
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: say it takes about one day per light per time

490
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: zone to to get back into that rhythm in general,

491
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: And they say the same thing, you gotta read to

492
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: regulate your exposure to light. Um, so when you get

493
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: in that hotel room. If you're traveling east, you gotta

494
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: expose yourself to light early in advanced a clock. Uh,

495
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: if you're traveling west, expose yourself to light at dust

496
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: and in the early part of the evening and delay

497
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: that clock. And they'd say, like, you know, close the curtains,

498
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: put a towel over your clock radio, like get it

499
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: as dark as possible. Don't look at any computer screens

500
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: and laptops. They say you shouldn't eat like a big

501
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: meal or a spicy food like the first day you

502
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: get there. Don't like dive right into that vacation because

503
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: that can mess you up as well. Gastro intestinely speaking,

504
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: and uh what else. Well, the CDC says they don't

505
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: have any suggestions other than like eat a balanced diet

506
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: and make sure you get some exercise. It's like, of

507
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: course you're gonna say that, c d C. Do you

508
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: have any other suggestions? And they say yes, wear the

509
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: loose clothing on the flight, avoid alcohol and well and

510
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: afterward they say that first day on vacation you should

511
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: be hit in the alcohol right either because I will

512
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: just mess up your sleep period. And then have you

513
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: heard of this thing called the val ki no v

514
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: a l k E team of scientists in Finland invented

515
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: this thing, and it because their belief is that the

516
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: brain is it's all about photosensitivity, and so they actually

517
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: it's sort of like an iPod, but instead of the

518
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: ear plugs, it emits light through your ear canal directly

519
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: to the brain, and they said it works. They tested

520
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: three fifty subjects over four years, and uh, I found

521
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: that there is definitely brain activity when the little Valki

522
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: is on, and that nine out of ten subjects felt

523
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: reduction and stress, uh seasonal depression and anxiety. And so

524
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: they're using it for winter blues and PMS and jet

525
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: lag and migraines, all sorts of stuff. Fantastic. I don't

526
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: know how much of this so I'm curious if it

527
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: is the price of an iPod or just the size

528
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: of an iPod. It's a good question. Yeah. I try it,

529
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: though I get pretty bad jet lag. That's like when

530
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: we go to do events. Now, I try to fly

531
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: out a day early just to sort of adjust. But

532
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: I can do east coast, west coast. It doesn't hit

533
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: me that bad. Um. Yeah, it's more like international that

534
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: gets me. Yeah, I haven't had it very bad, Like

535
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: when we went to the tc AS. It didn't. I

536
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: didn't seem out of sorts there or back. I get

537
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: a little lot of sorts do Yeah, but not super bad.

538
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm glad, Chuck, Yeah, you got anything else? I got

539
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: nothing else? Okay? That was jet Leg everybody. Yeah, and uh,

540
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: that kind of goes in with our sleeping sweep. We've

541
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: done a bunch of those, like how much sleep do

542
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: you really need? Um? What was the one about the

543
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: sleep aid? Remember the sleep aide where like you could

544
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: stay up for forty eight hours without any sleep. I

545
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: don't remember the title of that one. Wants to do that?

546
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: I love my sleep. That was a good episode though.

547
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: Um yeah, a lot of people wish that you didn't

548
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: have to sleep. I would imagine, not me. Um, I'm

549
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: with you. I like sleep. If you want to hear

Speaker 1: works dot com and then the search bar type jet

556

Speaker 1: Leg and it will bring up the spotty by an article. Uh,

557
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: and I said search bar. So it's time for listening

558
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: to me. Josh I called this a very sweet email

559
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 1: from Wendy, and I will be reading some of it

560
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: and summarizing some of it because it's super long. She

561
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: starts out, congratulations on the launch of your TV show.

562
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. I've been reading online chatter and I hope

563
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: it's going comfortably for you behind the scenes, because you

564
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: hear these reactions. It's a bummer when those weird people

565
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: on the block who mow the lawn naked our pride

566
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: themselves on not being tricked into attending college. I think

567
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: that they are qualified critics. Hopefully you're all too experienced

568
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: by now to do more than laugh at the losers

569
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: and just keep doing what you enjoyed. So that's all.

570
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: That was very nice, and it came in a good

571
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: time because people could be mean. Man, people have a

572
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: kind of mean. But hey, we have a pretty picks again,

573
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: We've been doing this for years. We got the armor

574
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: on um. So anyway, that was very nice Wendy, and

575
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: then she just wants she's been meaning to write in

576
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: for several years. Thank us. She started listening after she

577
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: moved from Seattle to Burbank in two thousand eight, and

578
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: it was a pretty depressing time for her. She said,

579
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: to stay at home, mom, and we really got her

580
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: through that time. A year later she moved to Utah.

581
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: She kept downloading because Chuck was on board. It's nice

582
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: and it was like having my brothers around for an

583
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: hour or so every day. It was really nice. She said.

584
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: It was clear by that point, even if we didn't

585
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: know each other, that you guys will probably be friends

586
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: of mine if we knew each other, um, and you

587
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: would not only appreciate the wild cultural shift from Hollywood

588
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,719
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City, but also be more fascinated than

589
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: turned off by my strange family connections. And she didn't

590
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: explain with them. Man. Then she moved from Youthawt to

591
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: Massachusetts and she was eight months pregnant, and we really

592
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: helped her through that, and so she was super appreciative

593
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: of that. And then she says, this a long time ago.

594
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: You had a many side conversation about what romancement and

595
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: seemed to conclude that it was guys who had a

596
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: manly friend crush on another guy that they knew, and

597
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: they'd really enjoy hanging out with I don't think we

598
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: haven't been at that. No, that's commonly what the romance

599
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: is known as. I may be a woman, but I

600
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: do have a major friend crush on the guys you

601
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: filled in for the awesome friends and family that I've missed,

602
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: um intelligently shooting the breeze for the last while, almost

603
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: five years now. Yeah, so she's moving around and we've

604
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: we've helped her out. Its substituting for her. Smart friends,

605
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: keep podcasting, take care of yourselves. You know that in

606
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: the zombie apocalypse, I definitely have your backs. By the

607
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: way of my weapon of choice would be an iron

608
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:44,080
