1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation scientists a one step close 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: to answering a critical question. I know everyone is asking, 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: can you breathe through your bottom? In nature? Butt breathing, 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: as the Americans like to call it, isn't new. Animals 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: like turtles, some fish species can breathe through their bot 6 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: scientists have earned the Ignoble Prize. That's sort of. It's 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,759 Speaker 1: a satirical prize, but still for proper science. Research are 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: found that mammal botbots, like the ones from rodents and pigs, 9 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: can absorb oxygen through the rectum in emergency situations. I 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: don't know what that emergency situation would be, so if 11 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: it works the same way in humans as it does 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: in animals, the researchers suggest that terial ventilation could be 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: a last resort to keep people with severe respiratory failure alive. Interesting, 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: isn't it? So listen to the study They did. A 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: clinical trial included twenty seven healthy men who volunteered to 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: hold between twenty five and fifteen hundred miller liters. How 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: much is that cup of tea? I'm guessing yeap of 18 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: not only twenty five mills twenty five Between twenty five 19 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: and fifteen hundred milli liters. Oh my god, that's a lot. 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: Is it miller liters? Yeah, that's twenty five mills. So 21 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: if you look at it, that's half of this two 22 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty meals is a cup, and then then 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: you've got a and a half that's subsequent your big 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: chocolate milk. It's like those drinks that the young girl's 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: cart around those water holders. That's a lot. So they 26 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: offered to hold that this of a certain non oxygenated 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: liquid in their rectum for an hour. Directum didn't do 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: much good. Do you want to hear the results? Sure? 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: I came this far. There were noses. There were no 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: serious harmful effects, but people who took the highest volume 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: of the liquid surprisingly complained about abdominal bloating. Imagine discomfort 32 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,919 Speaker 1: in some pain. Out of the twenty seven, only seven 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: couldn't make it to the hour mark. They flew around 34 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: the room like a deflated balloon. The highest tolerable dose 35 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: was one thousand mill So at least we know that. 36 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: So breathing through your bottom, terrible breath, butt breath, butt breath, 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: you know the expression blows smoke up your ears? What? Sorry, 38 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: but you know the expression it means someone is I 39 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: get a lot around here smoke. Yeah. A lot of 40 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: people go, mate, you're just as good as a man, 41 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: and don't worry about that. Yeah, And they don't mean 42 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: it because they're blowing exactly well. The expression comes from 43 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: the seventeen hundreds. If they if you're unlucky enough to 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: fall into a river and drown, one way to try 45 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: and resuscitate you is they grab some bellows and pump 46 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: smoke up your bottom. And that where with thinking that 47 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: new way of vaping, thinking that that would inflate your 48 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: lungs somehow. So maybe they're onto something. Maybe they are 49 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: on to watch this space. I'll show you what space 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: do you need to watch? Well, I think you've been 51 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: talking out of your butt, So well done you, thank you. 52 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: I'll take it as a compliment.
