Starting point is 00:00:00 Come to your life on the most information headquarters. It's the most you report. From your hope, let's me. Hey. Hey, oh, God. In another life, like, if I was born at the right time and if we actually lived in a different world, I could have voice SpongeBob or someone on SpongeBob. That is another calling of mine that passed me because I was born a bit too late. I was born a bit too late.
Starting point is 00:00:40 I wasn't really sag yet, okay? I wasn't part of SAG when SpongeBob was casting. And it was a real missed opportunity for them. Okay? And that one wasn't good. That one wasn't the best. Hey guys! Welcome back to the Brodsky Rumpel!
Starting point is 00:01:01 Seriously, I, this month, in the month of October, holy shit, I'm feeling very spooky. I'm feeling very haunted, very haunted. Okay? And I kind of wanted to address as something a little spooky, a little scary today, which is plantar fasciitis.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Plantar fasciitis. Welcome to the stage, plantar flashyitis. And I flash everyone, right? Flashitis. Okay, guys, I'm in a full body morph suit. Never seen so many dimples in my physique before. Never seen the curves on my body.
Starting point is 00:01:44 They're not exactly what I would say, flattering curves, okay? They're not exactly, you know, Kim K. It's more like a medical study, a medical study of where women carry weight, like those medical diagrams of like, this is you, this is you healthy, this is you obese, this is you morbidly obese. I'm kind of, you know, given one of those like in between stages on that diagram. And by the way, my breasts have never looked larger. My breasts have never looked more supple.
Starting point is 00:02:19 It is mimicking that of a pregnant woman's breasts. And I'm so happy to reveal that the morph suit has done that for me. So go ahead and get you morph suit this Halloween season because I'm feeling very gender affirmed. I'm feeling very gender affirmed. So, guys, Halloween, we know it, we love it, something to look forward to every single year. an opportunity and an outlet to be creative, to have a little fun with it, to get a little fucking freaky with it, okay? Br-brough.
Starting point is 00:02:51 To get a little freaky. It's, I really feel like it's, we're missing freak. We're lacking freak. We're lacking authenticity. We're lacking whimsy. We're lacking, I don't know, that we're not free of cringe yet. A lot of you bitches are scared to be cringe, and that is holding you back in life. And this is something I return to, okay?
Starting point is 00:03:12 you got to put yourself out there. And to be cringes to be free. And that video of Drew Barry Moore in the rain, that's actually what I'm talking about. Okay? That's the feeling that I'm kind of hinting at. So I decided to dress as plantar fasciitis this year. And that is important to me because I am worried that I haven't. It's coming from a very personal place because I'm worried that I haven't.
Starting point is 00:03:34 So I thought I'd take the opportunity today to sort of go ahead and Google that because I haven't. I love to play the game of TikTok says you have this, so you probably have it. And I just kind of run with that. And I feel like that's a fun thing to do. It's a very fun, normal, healthy thing to do. It's just, you know, you have X, Y, Z symptom, you definitely have this. And I'm like, oh, my fucking God, you're right. I've literally, like, I have known that I have Plantar Flachatitis.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Plantor Flashatitis. Am I right, girls? That Martin clip. Pop a Titty. Where are the slushy noobs lovers in the chat? Why do blisters happen? And I don't mean that in like a how do they happen. I mean it in a for real why.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Like why does the body get irritated when it's rubbed on? How come I can't rub on something and it won't get irritated? Like I rub on something one time and it turns to a big red bump and there's shit comes out of it. Like, why am I busting my shit whenever something rubs up on me? For real. Like, anytime, literally anything. I'll get a blister anywhere, anytime, and it'll fill with this little sack. I've never once had a blister that's like, oh, that's normal.
Starting point is 00:04:58 My blisters are, same with mosquito bites. It's like, they swell up to the size of, like, a bunion. I've got bunions all over my fucking body, bro. Blisters form as a protective response when the upper layers of skin separate from the deeper layers and fill with fluid. Now that's actually going to be from Reddit or slash explain it like I'm five. How blisters form.
Starting point is 00:05:20 Skin separation. Friction, heat, or pressure. Oh my God, a heat blister is something completely separate. And any of you guys have the... Are there any thick-thied girls in the chat? Raise your hand. Or boys? Or non-binarys.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Any thick-thied inbies. Raise your hand. I need you guys to have a bit of community with me really quick for a second because I was thinking about this the other day, okay? Somehow I've landed on Disney outfit TikTok and I probably put myself there. Yes, I did. Yes, I did. And it's also on my Pinterest.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Yes, it is. And so I started a Pinterest board called Disney Outfits. And there's a very specific community and culture within the Disney Outfit people, Disney Outfit content creators. They lay out their shit the night before they go to the park. They completely unpack, which I do believe is a, it's a borderline psychotic thing to do. If you're using drawers and hotel rooms, that's fucking gross. If you're putting it on surfaces, okay, that's fine. Because I know they wipe the services off. I'm just like, I really don't know, okay? When I go into a hotel room, I used to be the type, especially after COVID, I was like,
Starting point is 00:06:43 Who I got to wipe everything fucking down. You can't fucking touch anything. Don't put anything. on anything, everything has COVID, the bugs, the bugs, the mites, the mites, they're in my fucking skin. Now I'm going to a hotel room and I'm like, whatever, girl, like genuinely whatever. Unless I see a physical stain on something where I'm like, oh, ew, somebody came slash died here. I'm not going to kick up a ruckus, but if there are no, if there is a visible stain on either the couch or the chair or the sheets, bitch, or the floor, I am probably going to
Starting point is 00:07:16 call and request that I move rooms. Because what the fuck y'all do? I know. People love to die in hotel rooms. They love to die and excrete every single bodily liquid imaginable in hotel rooms. And that is none of my business. I'd rather not know. I would rather not know. One time I did, I went into a hotel room and one of the chairs on the armrest had a huge
Starting point is 00:07:37 like oil spot right where you put your hand and I literally called down. I said, somebody had splurted all over this chair. You have to move me rooms. I cannot stay here. And I had already unpacked to it. I was like, I don't give a fuck. I'll pack it all back up. I cannot be here.
Starting point is 00:07:52 And they were like, we're so sorry, ma'am. And they did move me, and it was better. This time the splirty was in the toilet. And that was because I left it there. Okay. A quick little fart joke. Now, Disney outfits, okay? There is a certain go-to-fit
Starting point is 00:08:09 some of these Disney content creators really go for, specifically on Pinterest. And it is a vintage Disney shirt with these gingham specifically red gingham loose-fitting shorts. Now, my thighs are cotton eaters. They're cotton eaters. My gooch eats any pair of shorts that I put on. And I also have an apron belly. So it's already going up. The fucking shorts are going up into my moose pussy. And then my fupa is hiding my moose pussy because it hangs over it. My family calls it a Dunlap, because it done lap over. Okay? That's what's going on when I personally.
Starting point is 00:08:46 I personally wear shorts. So I'm not really doing the shorts thing. So imagine my chagrin and dismay. When I'm on Disney Pinterest, I'm on Disney outfit TikTok, and every single fucking fit is a skinny girl in some shorts. Well, you know my gooch is going to eat that shit up. Go down. Shhh, shh, shh, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:09:07 So my solution, and there is a content creator that, due to my morph suit covering all of my fingers other than these two, the blasters. I cannot look at her name right now, but I follow a couple of mid-size content creator, content creators on TikTok, and they really have taught me how to dress for my body shape. And just stuff that, like, actually fucking works.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Like, for example, I was at Disney a few weeks ago, and I found in the back of my drawer this, like, Nike scor that I used to wear when I was doing for real, like, real big plus size. And I used to, because I was like, you know, when you're a big fatty, it's like, I don't give a fuck. And you just wear like, whatever. You're like, I don't care. I would wear a 2xL to 3xel, like graphic t-shirt and a Nike skirt because there are
Starting point is 00:09:59 shorts under it that actually prevent chafing. And then the scort, I was like, well, that's beautiful. I was like, the skirt. I'm like, well, that's just stunning. And then I'd wear high top converse. That was my outfit. That was my fucking uniform from 2021 until probably about late 2023. And I think that was it from a place of insecurity.
Starting point is 00:10:18 And now it's kind of like, I actually have fun throwing together outfits and I know how to thrift and whatever. But it kills me, bro. When I'm on these like Disney outfit, whatever, because it's all, it's the same silhouette with everything. It's like a loose, flowy short because their thighs don't touch because their gooch isn't eating the fabric that it puts like in the muncher. It's not on the munch conveyor belt, okay? You know what I'm trying to say? Like a conveyor, like in some of those rides. Like, what a goofy-ass old cartoon fear to be in an assembly line where it's just
Starting point is 00:10:54 Hing, haing, haing, haing, you know what I mean? Where there's always like, they got stuck on it, like Mickey and Minnie like, oh, no! And they're like trapped and they're headed towards this conveyor belt that's like smashing shit with iron and like a big furnace and shit. Why was that a trope for so long? There's a scene in Sherlock Holmes, the Robert D. Daddy Jr. Sherlock Holmes for that shit happens. What the fuck are you talking about? Except they were in like a meat processing facility where all these pigs, like dead pigs were hung up.
Starting point is 00:11:25 And it was this huge machine that would slice the dead pigs in half. And it was like, of course, Irene Adler gets tied to it. And she's like, no, no. And then they have to save her. What the fuck, dude? What, why was that? It's like piano's falling on your head. Ann Bill's falling on your head. Goofy-ass cartoon situation. be in. Like, looney tunes-ass situation to be in. Who's dropping anvils from buildings?
Starting point is 00:11:53 Anyway, so these outfits are always that. It's like loose-fitting shorts, and I just can't do it. So I always, I have to, like, fine-tune these outfits. And I'm just going to go ahead and, you know, readjust really quick. So I have to fine-tune the outfits to be probably always a skirt of some kind, because under that I can wear, whether it's biker shorts or whatever, just something to prevent the chafe from between my legs. And none of that shit has ever worked that's like,
Starting point is 00:12:19 just use the fucking chaf stick. Use deodorant. Use this, use that. That shit doesn't work because at the end of the day, it's 107 billion degrees outside, and my skin is wet and rubbing against itself. So no, deodorant isn't going to work. In fact, that's just going to get into my infected hair follicle,
Starting point is 00:12:37 and now I'm pissed and now I have a cyst. So have you considered that? Have you considered that? Pinterest TikTok creators! Getting mad laying in my bed. They don't even, they probably don't even have infected pubic hairs. They probably haven't have infected hairs. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:12:58 So that's kind of, I've pivoted. I've pivoted from, I take inspiration from those, but I do it my own way. You know what I mean? Like, I'll take a t-shirt and I'll crop it. So it's kind of off the shoulder. I'm loving off the shoulder. I'll make any fucking blouse off the shoulder. I don't give a fair.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I don't care. I take my scissors. It's me and my scissors against the world. I'll make anything off the shoulder. and then I'll do a little skirt, and I have to make sure that it has shorts underneath it. But it can't be too long because then that's like mama four. You know, that's like elder millennial, almost young Gen X, mom of four drives a minivan. When the skirt hits right at your knee, it's like, I know she's comfortable.
Starting point is 00:13:41 I know that bitch is comfortable. She's got the hokas on, the tennis court down to the knee, a cold shoulder blouse, I know she is comfortable. Everything made out of polyester. Every single thing. But it's breathable. Okay, it's breathable. So that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:13:56 It's like you want to be comfortable, especially at the Disney parks, because it's so damn hot all the time. But you also want to be cute. I've really been having fun with that. Okay, I've been having fun with the Disney outfit, mixing and matching and spooking and cooking. So, yeah, blisters.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I just had to say that because the thighs specifically, there is not a worse pain than like, because you can't go anywhere. The walking, like, it's every single step. You're like, ow, ow, it's burning. It's awful, bro. Chub rub. It's awful.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Ow, ow. Science behind blisters. All right, we're going to Harvard Health. Oh, what the hell? Okay, we've got some new vocab. A blister is a bubble of fluid under the skin. The clear, watery liquid inside a blister is called serum. What?
Starting point is 00:14:56 It leaks in from neighboring tissue. Okay, this is what I'm talking about. It leaks in from neighboring tissues as a reaction to injured skin. If the blister remains unopened, serum can provide natural protection for the skin beneath it. Oh. So it's almost like a serum. Small blisters are called vesicles. Those larger than half an inch are called boule.
Starting point is 00:15:21 What? Bullet. All right, I don't know if I want to Google Bullet. Uh-uh. No, don't Google Bullet. Don't Google that. Don't Google that. Don't Google that.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Don't show that. Don't even look it up. A blood blister is filled with blood rather than serum. Yeah, I get that. Okay. Symptoms of a blister, trust me, I know. preventing a blister. Socks that cushion the feet
Starting point is 00:15:54 and absorb sweat, of course, wear comfortable shoes that fit well. Usually it's best to leave blisters alone. Yeah, but consider this. I'm not doing that because it hurts. I'm not doing that because I can't fucking walk anywhere because I've got this big sack. I've got a nut sack on my foot. I can't walk anywhere because my foot now has balls. I can't go anywhere.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Damn. I've got a pear on my feet. It hurts. I can only wear flip-flops, and then I'm harassing everyone around me, telling me to look at my feet nuts. I feel bad. Because blisters protect the underlying skin, breaking blisters open can increase the chance of infection. Protect blisters with a bandage and cover them until they heal on their own. The liquid in the blister, oh, the liquid in the blister will be reabsorbed and the skin will flatten naturally. If a blister breaks, wash the area with soap and water, then apply a bandage.
Starting point is 00:16:46 if a blister is very large or painful, your doctor may drain it and apply an antibacterial cream to prevent infection. Consider this. I can do that. I can do that. And in that way, and in many other ways, I am a doctor. Well, in Brodsky Nation, I'm the only certified doctor, and that's scary. That's saying something. But it does also, if it makes you guys feel better, I am a hypochondriac. So I'll do my best. I'll research the best of my ability until I get bored, and then I can treat you. Okay. But we do have a waiting period of between five to six years. So just keep that in mind. Like, if it is an emergency, call my office, let me know.
Starting point is 00:17:21 But we do have a waiting list right now about five years. Five years quickest. So just working through that. Okay. That's pretty much all I needed to know is that I guess the liquid comes from other tissues surrounding it. But like, what? But also I don't care enough to look further into it. Okay, what is plantar flashitis?
Starting point is 00:17:42 What is plantar fasciitis? How do you say it? Plantar fasciitis. I'm a genius. Plantar fasciitis. Plantapacitis. Plantapacitis. It seems you've got a case of plantar fasciitis.
Starting point is 00:18:06 We must kill you. The only remedy is death. Plantar fasciitis. What is it? Who is it? How do you get it? Plantar fasciitis. An inflammation of the thick band of... Oh, I definitely have this.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Oh, I 100% have this. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of your foot that connects your heel bone to your toes. Symptoms, sharp stabbing pain in the bottom of the foot near the heel. Pain is usually worse during the first steps in the morning or after sitting for a long time. Okay, maybe I don't have this because my pain's actually on the top of my foot.
Starting point is 00:18:52 So what does that mean? And also, oh my God, my black cat just fell. But she's not really black because she's got white. Okay. Discomfrican lesson after taking a few steps, but may return later in the day after long periods of standing. Overuse or excessive strain that causes tiny tears in the tissue could be a cause. Tight calf muscles or a tight Achilles tendon. flat feet high arches or abnormal walking patterns. I do walk on the outside of my feet. Anyone else do that? Hey, guys, raise your hand. Anyone else walk on the outside of their feet?
Starting point is 00:19:26 Why does that happen? Let's Google that. Every single pair of Converse I've ever owned and not really wear Converse anymore, especially what the fuck was that ad they just did? You guys are fucking insane. You guys are actually insane. Every single pair, you know, on the bottom in the back, it says like Converse All-Star.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Every single pair would always say Convitt. Because I would just rub off the side of it because I walk like this. My feet are like, why do I walk on the outside of my feet? Walking on the outside of your feet is known as supination or under pronation. What does supine mean? Supine means lying flat on your back with your face pointing upward. I didn't know that. I thought supine meant wolf.
Starting point is 00:20:12 I was like, oh, kind of walk like a wolf, I guess. I'm very wolf-like in that way. walking like a wolf What the fuck if I'm thinking of? I read that a supine. Oh, that's fucking awesome. That's just my dog-like instinct. It's because I'm missing my pack
Starting point is 00:20:27 because I'm walking like a wolf. Muscle imbalances, weak ankle stability or tighter, tight outer leg muscles. Okay. Body alignment, an externally rotated hip or poor lower body alignment
Starting point is 00:20:42 can change how your leg and ankle strike the ground. What the hell? So my shit broke. My shit's broken, bro. I got weak ankles, weak knees, tight lower body. My shit's tight. My shit's strong like a fucking rubber band.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I'm always ready to crack, snap crack, and pop. Awesome. And, you know, the more that I sweat, the more that sort of my bodily liquids come out through this morph suit, very interesting smells are being released. Very interesting odors coming. from my person, from my body, and just need to let you guys know that. This episode is sponsored by SOFI.

Starting point is 00:22:29 If you wear glasses or if you've ever worn sunglasses, which I'm assuming most of you, but to each their own, you know the deal. You bring them everywhere.

Starting point is 00:24:16 What the fuck is Planned Taurfascianitis? How do you fix it? Wearing a brace while sleeping keeps the foot stretched. Okay, we're doing foot braces. Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic, if you want to sponsor the pod, I've given you plenty of screen time. The plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that connects your heelbone to the base of your toes.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Yeah, I got that. It helps support the arch of the foot and absorbs shock when you walk. Look at how she walks when she walks me. Remember that song? Okay. And something else that I'm kind of like dealing with as I age is, yeah, my hips are starting to hurt. What the fuck's up with that? I never understood when old people were like, oh, my hip.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I'm like, how do you even know where your hip is? I'm like, I've never felt my hip before. You know what I mean? But sometimes when I stretch, when I do the like, you know, this one where you like spread eagle and then you like rotate your shoulders and you stretch your inner thigh, that's the first time I've been like, oh, there's my hip. But I was like hip pain and now I sleep. It's like an ADHD thing, I guess.
Starting point is 00:25:27 But like I definitely have ADHD and I don't really care at this point because like, who doesn't? Everybody in their mama has ADHD. It's very democratic. If you want ADHD, you can have it. And if you actually don't want it, then guess what, you still have it. So that's the game that you play with ADHD is like, you definitely have it. But if you don't want to acknowledge it, then you don't have it, but you also still have it.
Starting point is 00:25:49 So that's where I am. I'm like, I definitely have it, but I don't have it. So one of the things I guess is like I sleep with the T-Rex arms. Like, I do this thing. You know what I mean? Like, I kind of do this thing. And that's really unsettling with the all nude. Like, I kind of sleep just kind of like a kitty or like a squirrel.
Starting point is 00:26:10 You know, squirrel sleep? Of course, my arm goes numb throughout the night because it's propped up because I also sleep with three pillows under my neck. I sleep crazy. I sleep crazy and I don't sleep well. So I'd have to do all this fucking bullshit. All this bullshit. I don't sleep well still.
Starting point is 00:26:25 So I've got three pillows under my neck. I sleep like this. My neck's in a 90 degree angle. Except I'm horizontal. My neck's propped up like this because some of my neck's. Sometimes I kind of, you know, I feel like I'm in vomit a little bit. So I'm propped up like this, like a fucking Dracula. And then I'm sleeping like this.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I've got both my arms up here. And then because I'm propped up at an angle, my arms from the elbow up are starting to lose blood. And so they get little tingly, they get cold. And just right to have to put my arms down. And then if that doesn't work, then I flip over on my side and I bring my knee up. And I know they're like, get a maternity pillow. Get a fucking bullshit. Get a boyfriend pillow.
Starting point is 00:27:00 I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. because I am resisted to capitalism. I am the serum that will fix capitalism by me not buying a body pillow. That is my gift to humanity. Me resisting the Instagram ads for maternity pillow, even though I probably really could benefit from it. That's me resisting the system.
Starting point is 00:27:23 You're not going to get me. Anyway. So that's something that I'm like, okay, ow, now I'm waking up in the morning and I'm like, my hip hurts. And for what? And for why? What was the reason? So now I have to deal with that. I don't know what I'm going to do because I love sleeping on my side. It's so good. I love having my pillow on my arm. I do one of these and then I do one of these. And if you, oh my God, I love a warmie. I love warmies. I have the Snoopy and the Woodstock warmies. And I sleep with both of them under my thing. And then if I just had a pillow under my legs, but I could put a pillow in between my legs. But I'm kind of like, what if I fart in the pillows between my legs and it smells bad? Then I forget that. I could put a pillow in between my legs. I'm like, what if I fart in the pillows between my legs and it smells bad? Then I forget that. I lay on it. And it smells like, fucking shit.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Put my fur on the leg pillow, and I put the leg pillow under my head pillow, and then I fucking did your pink eye. Like, what about that? What about that? Nobody thinks the way I do. No one thinks what I think. Moving on.
Starting point is 00:28:40 What the hell is a wart? Why is a wart? A small, non-cancerous skin growth. caused by an infection with the human papillomavirus. But here's the thing, I got the HPV shot. I got the HPV vaccination when I was like 15. So why did I? I had warts all through high school.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I had to get my warts like burned off with liquid nitrogen. It was like so embarrassing. I always had to have, I had two little warts on my pointer finger. And any time I'd be like, look over that! I was like a witch finger because I had warts and I had long nails. It was so gross. I felt like fucking the wicked witch. to the West, so I always had a band-aid on. And then I finally got him burned off. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:29:23 why the hell do I get warts? I just had a, um, on the bottom of my foot, I had a corn. Over the summer, I had a damn corn. And it was gross. I called my doctor. I said, what the hell? It hurts when I walk. And there is clearly like, it looks like a wart. And I'm not, I don't know where I've been walking barefoot, because I try not to do that, even though I love to be barefoot. And he was like, he didn't tell me what it was, but he told me what to do. And I had to get those little, it's a similar thing, but in a way higher dose of what you use on your face for pimples. Salicylic acid. It was like almost pure salicylic acid.
Starting point is 00:30:02 And it was a little circle adhesive of the medicine. And I had to put that on. And then I had to put this little cushion circular band-aid around it because it was right on the ball of my foot. Ow, ow, ow. I felt like Squidward, like I had the little tentacle suction cups on the bottom of my feet. And I, after doing it enough, one day I was like trying to, this is gross. I was trying to change it and I pulled it off and the corn came off. Oh, ew.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Ew. Me to my own body. Like, because, ew. That, having a corn does not line up with my vision of myself. With my self-image, my higher self does not have corns. That's lower self-shit. That's like old me shit. We're not, 2027, I'm not bringing corns into 2027.
Starting point is 00:31:02 What the fuck, bro? What are these grandma-ass things I'm having to deal with? What a looney-to-and's thing to have! I had a corn. Oh my God. That's so gross. I had a corn. Oh, I'm just going, I can't hang out that day.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I got to get my corn removed. Well, they're shaving down my corn. Yeah, I can't walk for two weeks. Luckily, my corn had came right off. I didn't have to have it shaved. And now I'm like, because I'm really tight-knit with the ballet community. I know they have bunions and corns and growths and bone spurs and all this bullshit. But they are using their feet in a very artistic and athletic way.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I am walking from the bathroom to my bed to the kitchen. Rinse repeat. Why did I get a fucking corn? What could I possibly be doing to earn, to deserve a corn? These are my battle scars. It's the bottom of my foot. It's got a big hole in it. Because my corn, they rip my corn out.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Give it back! Like, what was that scene in, is it Hunger Games? Or no, maybe it's just a meme where they like get their wisdom teeth out. They're like, give it back. That was mine. It's me, me and my corn. I keep it in a jar. by my bed.
Starting point is 00:32:21 All my, all my guests, all my prospective suitors. Well, and this is my bookshelf, and this is my corn. Yes. Why is it in a jar? Well, I just wanted to preserve it. Why is it in formaldehyde? Well, you know, it's part of me, so I wanted to keep it alive. I Damien Hearst my corn.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I Damian Hurst my corn. I cut it in half and I put it in, okay. The corn bit is, you know, I could keep, I could keep going, but I am kind of curious what a wart is. So we'll keep going. Why do warts form? And that's the struggle with a lot of my medical questions is why. Because doctors are focused on the how. Well, it develops because you somehow contracted HPV and HPV shows up in this way.
Starting point is 00:33:13 And here's how it happens. but my overall bird eye view question is why? Why does haphapaloma, hapapiloma virus show up as a wart? And why do witches have warts? Also, why are warts considered gross? I might consider them beautiful. Moles, you can have a mole on your face and it can be very flattering and beautiful. So when I have 17 warts on my fingers and toes,
Starting point is 00:33:43 why does everyone run away from me and disgust? When I keep my corn on my bedside, cover deeply immersed in formaldehyde, why do all my suitors run? Answer me that. Why does my throat hurt when I swallow? Why does my nose run when I eat? Why does my knee hurt when I bend it?
Starting point is 00:34:01 Why does my lower back hurt? Why does a warp form? Why does the top of my foot hurt? Why is the back of my head hurt? You would think that those are all my past searches. Okay. The virus enters the body through tiny cuts, scrapes, or micro-tares in the skin. Okay, so like walking barefoot, I actually get that.
Starting point is 00:34:22 HPV infects the top layer of skin and causes the cells to grow very fast. Oh! This rapid growth creates a rough, raised, or hard bump on the skin. How the virus spreads. Touching someone else's wart directly can spread the virus? I feel completely fucking horrible. What if someone touched my wart? Please don't touch my own wart.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Sharing personal items like towels, wash claws, or razors can transmit HPV. Walking barefoot around public pools or locker rooms puts you at risk. Picking at your own warp can spread the virus to other parts of your body. All right, that's enough. Okay, what's next? Why is the big toe big? Here's my prediction, balance. Right?
Starting point is 00:35:09 Why is the big toe big? Ah Your big toe is naturally larger and sturdier than your other toes because it bears most of your body weight and provides the push-off force when you walk. Okay, but other animals have that shit, but I guess they have four feet,
Starting point is 00:35:29 four toe pads. How come other animals don't have a big toe? Like a paw. Paws don't have a big toe. Other animals do not have a prominent aligned big toe because their specific evolutionary needs, like running on hoves, digging, or gripping trees, led their bodies to adapt, shrink, or completely change their digit structures.
Starting point is 00:35:57 While humans evolved a large, straight big toe, the halux. Ow, my halics! To push off the ground during upright walking and running, other creatures took different evolutionary paths. Monkeys do have a specialized big toe, but it is a specialized big toe. it is opposable and divergent. That's right. Monkeys can pick shit up and like peel bananas
Starting point is 00:36:18 with their feet and shit, which honestly goaded evolutionary development. I wish that I could hold, but imagine if you had four hands. That would be, and you can also run on all fours? That would be awesome.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Imagine if you could run, imagine Brittany Browski running at you full force, charging, charging at you on all fours. I have two big thumbs on my hands too. I've got two big toes on my hands and I'm running at you.
Starting point is 00:36:45 fast runners like horses lost their side toes entirely over millions of years. They transitioned to running on a single, heavily reinforced central digit because extra or splayed toes would increase stress and risk bone fractures at high speeds. Very T. The five-toe blueprint. Most land vertebrates share a genetic blueprint inherited from ancient ancestors with five digits. However, evolution only keeps or enlarges a specific toe, like our big toe, if it directly helps that species survive, and move in its specific environment.
Starting point is 00:37:17 And in my environment, from moving from the toilet to my pantry to my bed, my big toe propels me. It propels me. Okay? I'm taking off at lightning speed. So, that's good to know.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Why is it called a pinky? These are questions I've wondered for literally years and never taken a single second to Google. So why is it called? a pinky toe. The pinky finger is called a pinky because it comes from the Dutch word pink, which means little finger or small thing, rather than from the color pink. How silly. Shout out the Dutch. Scottish adoption. The term entered Scots English and was first recorded
Starting point is 00:38:06 in 1808 by John Jameson and his an etymological dictionary of the Scottish language. Need that as a coffee table book, thank you, as a nursery term for something tiny or small. Scottish and Dutch immigrants brought the phase into broader use in North America in England during the 19th century, where it stuck as an endearing slang term for the fifth digit. That is cute. Now, why is it called an index finger? The index finger gets its name from the Latin word indicare, which means to point out or to show. What? Brow. Interesting. And then the ring finger, of course, is because I'm going to bring. Could you put your ring on it? That's so stupid. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Okay, I want to talk about shoes for a moment, because something I have finally given in, oh my God, I've given in to the tabby of it all. And I have three pairs of tabbies now. I have the original black tabby flat. I have some slingbacks. And I bought these like Nike, uh, tabby tennis shoe situation kind of. and they're in this pretty light blue color, and I love them. But I, here was my question for the longest time is like, how the fuck does that work?
Starting point is 00:39:27 Where are your toes, bro? And is it not irritating the hell out of your, like, your clit in between your big toe and your, like, come on. The apex of my thighs, fucking sergely amos, my bowels. The apex of my toe thug, crevice. I was like, that's going to irritate the hell. Sometimes I can't even wear flip flops because I'm like, that shit's rubbing me. Again, it's rubbing me, and I'm irritated. And so I was like, let me give it a try. I tried them on in a store, and I was like, it fits. It's literally just your big toe goes in it.
Starting point is 00:40:00 And I was like, oh, well, duh, and that makes sense, but it didn't irritate. It's too short to actually get up in there and irritate. It stays on your foot. It's comfortable. It's flexible enough, obviously depending on the brand. And so I was like, okay. And now I love them. I think they're so funky and cool. And I think they spruce up any outfit because it's like, oh, I love a funky shoe. I just got these fucked up shoes from the Real Real secondhand. They're Sandy Lang, Leang, and there are these, I'll put them up here. There are these Mary Janes that have five toe indents in them.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I think they're so freaky and so weird and I just needed them. I needed them so bad. And I got them and I love them. I wear them all the time. And I wear them with just socks, just white socks. And it's so, it's just like a little, like, ugh. Ah. And of course, there's a carve-out for my corn.
Starting point is 00:40:58 There's a little bunion carve-out. So very important to me. But I've been loving, so the tabby, you have to buy separate socks for them. Okay. That's something that I will warn you about. If you're interested in starting your tabby journey, you have to buy separate socks. because some of the flats you can wear, no socks, but if you're a chafe-prone girl like me, just buy the socks.
Starting point is 00:41:21 You need them, especially ones that are Mary Jane's. They irritate the fuck out of the top of my foot. They irritate the fuck out of the top of my foot. I have so many little tiny bumps and I itch them because my skin's irritated. My skin, I don't know what the fuck. Like, where? And this might be a dumb question. I think I know the answer to it.
Starting point is 00:41:40 But, like, white people. where are we supposed to be in the world? Because I don't think I'm supposed to be where I am, genetically speaking. Like, my skin is translucent. My eyes are super light. My hair is so thin. Like, it's just wispy.
Starting point is 00:42:01 So I can't be in the sun. I'm obviously not supposed to be in the sun. I think I'm supposed to be somewhere, maybe not cold, but like with minimal sunlight. So I'm just like, curious, where are white people from? Googling, where are white people from?
Starting point is 00:42:19 Well, that's right, I guess everyone comes from Africa. All modern humans originally came from Africa tens of thousands of years ago. As humans moved north into Europe and Asia, the weaker sunlight made it harder for dark skin to absorb enough vitamin D. Over thousands of years, genetic mutations for lighter skin evolved in these regions to help bodies process sunlight better. So north. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Yeah, that's making sense. And I'm not feeling spiritually attached to Vikings, to raiders, you know, to any of those kind of cultish or tribal groups of, well, really brutes, truly. Vikings were fucking brutes, and they were barbarians. So I'm feeling a bit more Irish. in my spirit. I'm feeling a bit more Celtic, kind of just like a villager, Celtic villager. And I will say, okay, not to shoot my own horn, I got a psychic greeting
Starting point is 00:43:20 about two years ago, and she told me in a past life I was a king. Thank you. And so maybe I was a chief. Maybe I was a Scottish chief, all right? Tomlinson is English, but Tomlinson is, obviously son of Tom Lynn and that like English is only a part that's my grandpa's line my paternal grandmother is Scottish that line is like
Starting point is 00:43:49 McPherson Collins it's very Scottish and then on my mom's side I have Irish so I'm just I'm from that kind of whole that's where I am okay so that's very intriguing to me only in the sense of, okay, in a past life, I probably was there.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Realistically speaking, I was there. Okay, speaking of Vikings, I would like to Google Bigfoot. What to hell? The modern Bigfoot legend originated in Northern California in 1958 when a local newspaper reported, now, 1958, they're not doing hoaxes, I don't believe. They're not planting shit the way that they plant shit now or even in the 70s or the 80s where they're just like, we want a news story. 1958 feels really anti, as in A-N-T-E to this, where we are now culturally with Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:44:40 When a local newspaper reported on mysterious, when a local newspaper reported on mysterious 16-inch footprints found by construction workers, while the specific name and media sensation started in the 50s, the concept builds on a long history of folklore. Native American folklore, indigenous groups in the Pacific Northwest have centuries-old traditions of giant hairy wild men. The wildlings. North of the wool.
Starting point is 00:45:09 The word Sasquatch. This name comes from Saskwitz, a wild man figure in the language of the St. Isis and Coast Salish peoples. Coast Salish people. A diverse group of more than 40 independent indigenous nations who have lived along the Pacific Northwest Coast of Washington's state and southwestern British Columbia for over 10,000 years.
Starting point is 00:45:35 That is so cool. The Salish Sea. Modern cities like Seattle and Vancouver were built directly on traditional coasts, Salish homelands, known as People of the Tide. The sea and local rivers served as their primary food source and ancestral highway. How fucking cool. Okay, so they were fucking with Asquatch. They knew about bro.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Similar legends of hair-covered humanoids exist worldwide, including the Yeti in the Himalayas and old European wild man myths. That's what I was going to look up. What is the difference between Yeti, Sasquatch, and Bigfoot? Yeti to me feels the most aggressive. Yeti to me feels the most like wanting to do harm, wanting to cause harm. And so I've never really fucked with the Yeti.
Starting point is 00:46:32 And I like that, you know, they made him the abominable snowman in Monsters Inc because that's, you're reversing it, okay? You're like pulling the rug and that's funny. Okay, he don't eat the yellow snow. They're lemon. That's funny because he's nice. Because everything you've ever heard about the Yeti is like, kill, kill, kill. Actually, I haven't really heard many legends about the Yeti.
Starting point is 00:46:53 so I'm not going to act like I know him personally because I've never I've never met the guy so I can't really speak to his character I can't speak to his legend his myth you know his kind of his reputation precedes him but not in a apparently in a negative way okay but I'm not going to act like oh oh I know the Yeti oh the Yeti and I know no like it's not like that so I don't want anything that I say to come off as like a like passing judgment or like acting like I know anything about that whole that whole thing because I don't know anything about that whole thing Yeti myth
Starting point is 00:47:24 Large hairy mythical humanoid creature said to live in the Himalayan mountain range Welcome to the Himalayas I'm getting it now Local legends Sherpa and Tibetan villagers
Starting point is 00:47:37 have shared stories for centuries about a wild bipedal mountain creature And that means it's on two legs The Abominable Snowman A journalist popularized The English name in 1921 After mistranslating
Starting point is 00:47:51 the native term metto kongmi, man bear snowman. Physical trait. Stories usually describe the creature as six to eight feet tall with brown. Okay, can I just say something? Six to eight feet tall? That could just be a fucking dude. You just saw him from way too far away and he looked monstrous. Six to eight feet tall.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I always thought the Yeti was like, you know, like the way that lions roar in movies and it's like, you're fucking, like, Homer Simpson, your skin's, like, ripping back from your face and your arms are, like, flailing behind you. Like, it blows your eyebrows off. Like, yeah. Six feet tall? Bro, that's Cody in finance.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Six feet tall for the Yeti? Explorers like Eric shipped in in 1951, and the Indian Army in 2019 shared famous photos of giant tracks in the snow. I don't trust it from 2019. I don't trust it from 2019. I don't. trust anything from 2019. Stories you usually describe the creature as six to eight feet tall with brown, reddish, or dark
Starting point is 00:48:56 fur rather than the white coat often seen in modern cartoons. Well, then even then, you guys are making this shit up. That's how I thought they were different. I thought the Yeti was white, and I thought Bigfoot was brown. And now I can't even believe that. DNA tests on hair, bone, and skin samples linked. Now, how do you all have Yeti skin samples? Why do you bitches have Yeti skin samples?
Starting point is 00:49:19 See, like, what are you talking about? I don't believe you. DNA tests on hair, bone, and skin samples linked purported Yeti artifacts directly to local bear species, such as the Tibetan brown bear and Himalayan brown bear. Experts explain that bears walking on their hind legs often leave tracks that look human or ape-like. Now, as much as I would like to believe in Yeti, I can't say that I do, especially with that information just now. Like, bears do, why would bears walk on their hind legs? Why do bears walk on two legs? To improve their sense of smell. Bitch, that's scary. Bears are scary. Ursus arctos horribulus. What a shitty Latin name. What a shitty scientific name.
Starting point is 00:50:08 Horrible acting bear. To improve their sense of sight, smell, and hearing so they can investigate their surroundings. In rare cases, a bear may stand to look more intimidating to a rival animal. or if it feels unsure of its environment. Oh, that makes me sad. Many people believe that a standing bear is angry and getting ready to charge. Experts note that this is a myth. As explained by Yellowstone Bear World,
Starting point is 00:50:32 a standing bear is simply curious and trying to gather information, not showing aggression. That makes me sad. He was standing up like, I'm going to get a berry! And a guy's like, oh my fucking God! Oh my fucking God! It's a fucking yet he's going to fucking rip my kidneys out and probably eat him probably.
Starting point is 00:50:48 and like, probably kill my wife too. What's that scene from Beauty and the Beast? You know, when they, like, they storm the castle, Gaston and his army of buffoons storming the castle, like, kill the beast, kill the beast. And the Beast is like, Phil, go, I love you. And they go in there, and it's like, I remember being as a kid being like, I am so actually frustrated with this movie because, like, that is so not what's happening. Like being a child and being pissed off at a miscommunication misunderstanding trope, bro. That's why I couldn't. Drake and Josh was funny, but it got to a point where I was like, this whole show is predicated on miscommunication.
Starting point is 00:51:32 And that it irritates me. I'm a taris. I'm a charis. Say what you, no, say what you were going to say. You say what you were going to say. And I will mediate. I will sit here. and I will make sure both of you hear each other
Starting point is 00:51:46 and just say it explicitly. Don't beat around the bush or remember, be direct. That is the only way we are going to get through this. Okay, you start. Me to Drake and Josh. I can't fucking deal with this anymore, you guys.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Okay, so the Getty, Yeti fucking sucks. Bigfoot, maybe, but 16 inches, like, how big is a basketball player's foot? Okay, 12 to 12.5 inches long. That's about a US 14.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Okay. Now that's interesting. Okay, now who's leaving behind 16 inch? I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Who's leaving behind 16 inch footprints? Why are they barefoot? That's got to be a bear. How big is a bare foot?
Starting point is 00:52:32 Eight to 14 inches long. That could have just been a big ass bear, bro. That could have been a big ass bear. That's solved. That's actually super solved. I just figured that shit out. Look at how big this bear's hand is. You're telling me that's not Bigfoot.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I've figured Bigfoot out. Not real, just bears. You guys should call it barefoot, okay? You guys should call it Bear Paw, and you should sell it as a dupe for Ugs. Yeah, genius marketing plan. You're fucking welcome. All right, we're going to do one fan submission. All right, let me go through my fan submissions.
Starting point is 00:53:05 Madeline Wait. Madeline Wait. Madeline Wait, says, broody brothers. that's her music rec submission. Madeline, Madeline, let me just tell you, done, and done, and did. I fucking love the Broody Brothers. Broody Brothers open for Sierra Farrell, I believe. I love them.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I've been listening to, they came on shuffle because like when I play Sierra Farrell and I listen to everything she's ever put out, and I'm very excited for her upcoming album. If it's out, I know she released a new single from it. they play sometimes mixed in like me me me me more cowboy than you i love them i really do it reminds me of this old like who sings um it was that other trio of brothers but like from the it was like 50-60s the ever the everly brothers it reminds me a little bit of the everly brothers i do enjoy the broody brothers I've got some recommendations from y'all Moll recommended Rebecca by Daphne de Moryer
Starting point is 00:54:14 Okay, mall I read Rebecca and I reviewed it in an episode So I'm actually going to need you to lock in on that Because I really, I deeply enjoyed Rebecca Rebecca, I've never read a book like that before And the ending kind of left me like, whoa What the fuck? And I miss what's it called something Lee? Manderly, I miss Manderly, bro.
Starting point is 00:54:34 I was there for a long time Dallas Bowling, what a name, by the way, yesteryear by Carol Claire Burke. Is this the one that Anne Hathaway just sponsored? Or she's like going to turn into a, or is that the Tradwife one? Oh yes, yes, this is the one, yeah. Follows a prominent Tradwife social media influencer
Starting point is 00:54:56 who mysteriously wakes up in the year 1855. Yeah, and she has to be like a dead ass tradwife. I actually really want to read it because it'll, I'm already like, don't even get me started on the whole Trad Wife shit. Like, I just, I can't talk about it. I actually just read, okay, let me book code for a second. I just finished the Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte. And bitch, I just, the Bronte sisters are just every single one of them.
Starting point is 00:55:23 The way that they use, the way that they paint with the English language is so deeply admirable. And just, I enjoy every page. And at times, I will say about the Tenant of Wildfell Hall, this shit was five. 500 pages long. It did not need to be that long. But each piece of information was crucial to the story. And I'm happy for our girl, Helen. Helen is our protagonist.
Starting point is 00:55:47 She is really been through the fucking ringer. It was referred to as a feminist novel, published in like 1825 or something like that. Or it was maybe published in the 1840s, but it was set in the 1820s. And like Victorian England, and it's all very regency. and it's very whatever, but they're out in the country, which I kind of like, because I do. What? Oh, it's fur from my, it's fur from my big foot. I actually thought that was a spider crawling out, mean, I got a little scared.
Starting point is 00:56:19 Yeah, it explores like this, a similar idea of getting married to get married, getting married to be a wife. And of course, back then, you got married kind of against your will, specifically in England. it was a match made out of the best fortune possible. You know, like you want to marry rich, you want to marry a quote unquote gentleman, you want to marry someone who it is your duty to take care of, to look after, to give him children, to carry on his line, to be a housekeeper, to be his sole sense of comfort. Everything is to make him comfortable. That is the purpose of your life as a wife, which is so fucking like,
Starting point is 00:57:03 wow, wow, wow, just wow. And it just really makes me think, like, makes you think, this was published in 1840. Wow, we're only recently kind of, it's just, you know, it just gets the gears turning. Like so many women have fought and died for women's rights and shit like this. Obviously, yesterday is kind of a satire of the Trad Wife movement, but just this push, and it's always conservative propaganda towards young women. because they're susceptible, and you are selling them this idea of a comfortable, rich, fulfilled life. And it is the opposite of that.
Starting point is 00:57:43 It is a lack of autonomy. It's a lack of freedom. It is, what's that saying that's under every single tried-by video? It's like if you give him the ability to feed you, you give him the ability to starve you. That is what that is. And so just reading all this, Tenant of Wildfell Hall really explores this deeply, emotionally, financially and just romantically abusive relationship of a woman who is trapped. And I don't usually like to read books like that because when I read, I want to escape.
Starting point is 00:58:16 I don't want to like be reminded of kind of reality. But this was so far set so far back that I was like, okay. And it has a happy ending, but it's just like, wow, the plight of women is one that is evergreen. It is evergreen. It has always, under patriarchy, it has always been the same. And it takes different forms, but it is always the same to its core of a means of control, a means of silencing, a means of tempering behavior, emotions, speech, what you can and cannot say, what your purpose is as a human being, which is to make bro's life comfortable in denying yourself. And don't even add Christianity on the top of all that.
Starting point is 00:59:00 because at the time, obviously, England is a super Christian nation. And it's so deeply ingrained in the doctrine of Christianity for a woman to serve her husband. And that's just so misinterpreted and so abused. And the reverse osmosis of that is never noted on that a husband should also serve his wife. Like, that's just kind of conveniently left out. And yeah, it was just deeply, deeply infuriating to read this book. but she kind of gets, she wins in the end, which is good. I won't spoil it.
Starting point is 00:59:33 But, yeah, books like this, I'm like, I really should read this because I'm very excited for the Anne Hathaway movie hearing that she's attached. So, wow. Okay. All that to say, by the way, leaving you with elastic, and I know I'm dressed like a foot. By the way, I know I'm dressed like a foot. And I talked about like my gooch and my Dunlap and like, you know, probably having plantar fasciitis and my corn, but I want to leave you with the message that never, never, ever, ever, ever,
Starting point is 01:00:05 tie yourself financially and emotionally to a man in a way that you cannot escape. And that kind of applies for every single woman alive, actually. Every single person, every single femme person, it is voluntarily giving up something that no man deserves, and he ultimately will abuse that trust, that, that gift that you've given him. And that's not to say don't let yourself fall in love and don't let yourself be vulnerable and whatever, but always have your own money, your own job. I'm very anti-joining bank accounts. I'm very anti-that.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Have your own credit card. No man will have control over you, ever. Amen? Shit! Like, that is just something that is so, I cannot believe. when you think about women couldn't have even opened their own credit card 50 years ago. Is that true? When could women have their own credit cards?
Starting point is 01:01:05 Oh, my fucking God. Women in the United States officially gained the legal right to get credit cards and loans in their own name without a male co-signer in 1974. 1974. That was 52 years ago? Oh, my fucking God, bro. This is the shit where I'm like, women have fought and died. for the rights that we so willingly give up today because we don't want to apply for a job because it looks like being an influencer is easier than getting a real job, even though that's
Starting point is 01:01:37 here today, gone tomorrow. It's just so like, oh my God, we have to go to school. We have to go to school. Girl on board, let's go to school. Girl on board, let's read. Girl on board, let's do our homework. Like there is nothing more powerful than education. There's nothing more powerful than arming yourself with the things that no one can take from you and fighting to keep them. by voting, by the way you vote, which by the way, plugging headcount, please go register to vote if you haven't already. Okay, let's go ahead and do my shit of the week.
Starting point is 01:02:12 My song of the week, by the way, thank you to the fans. Thank you to the fans. Okay, I'm realizing I don't have cheers. I would like to offer cheers to all the fans that submitted and to the women that font died for our rights. And I'm not realizing I don't have a cheer, so this is what you get. So that is my thanks to you. Now let's go ahead and get into housekeeping.
Starting point is 01:02:43 My song of the week is probably going to be Week in Your Light by Nation of Language. I love that song. What I'm watching, I'm seeing sensibility this weekend. I'm pre-recording this, by the way. So you'll probably all have seen it already, but I'm seeing it.
