Why did the barf and the booger fall in love? It's what's on the inside. That counts. If you just read the bio for Dr. Steve, host of weird medicine on Sirius XM103, and made popular by two really comedy shows, Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez, you would have thought that this guy was a bit of, you know, a clown.

I'll yell at your family in a foreign language and say fluid and secretions, whatever you want, all for under $8. I'm the cheapest cameo that there is. So that's right. I get myself a little bit of place.

I just do it for fun. And I've priced it so that people will actually want to do it. because somebody the other day, you know, I felt really good about this one. Someone asked me, it was a woman, she said, well, you please for Men's Health Week, or Men's Health Month, which apparently is June, I didn't know that. See, they don't tell us anything. They, but she said, would you tell my male friends to check their stupid nuts for lumps? And so I went through my sort of yearly October thing we do on this show about self-testicular exam. because every woman knows how to do a self-breast exam, Josh.

But were you ever taught to do a self-testicular exam when you were in high school? No, no, it wasn't. Yeah, and testicular cancer is what? Yes, it's a young man's disease, but we don't tell young men this. So it's a deficit in the way that we educate people about these kinds of things and self-screening exams. So we've taken it upon ourselves to make sure that everybody, understands that they need to check their stupid nuts for lumps.

So to the point where we say it at the end of every show, and about twice a year, we'll get somebody saying, hey, I checked my stupid nuts for lumps, and guess what? I found one, and I got it taken care of, and it was cancer, and I'm cancer-free, so I'll give us one of these, too. You know, and that was always going to be back in the day when we first started doing the show, and I was terrified that I was going to, you know, get in trouble at work, was the evidence of how many people we have, you know, saved from... Oh, gosh, yeah.

Well, we didn't save them from cancer, but we caused them to get checked or whatever and creating awareness. Improved their quality of life and their life expectancy and all that stuff. Yep. So, you know, if we got on, do you think that anybody that's listening to this show,

particularly those that listen to the iteration on Sirius XM, would listen to Dr. Radio for two seconds? I mean, it's not many. It's hard enough to get them to listen to us. Yes, it is. Particularly in this most current iteration where we're not doing the vodka tampon challenges and stuff like that like we used to do. Right.

Why do I remember a T-shirt? I remember flying out of McGee Tyson, which is at Knoxville Airport, several years ago, and seeing a T-shirt of a squirrel. Yeah. Sitting back with several nuts sitting in front of them and a logo on it, don't forget to check your stupid nuts for lump. That was actually, I believe, if I am not incorrect, that was Woodfloor liquor. Our friend Woodfloor liquor made that logo, and we put it on a T-shirt.

Wood floor liquor of BPS Radio, also of a show called The Radio Freaks. He's a good one. He's the one that I, one of these days, I need to do a documentary on YouTube about how I just absolutely just shit on him. I'm the worst friend that you could ever possibly have. And, you know, it's like, well, I'll just tell you the story real quick. He was doing a show with Colin Quinn. And it was a big get for him to have a podcast the size his was and have Colin Quinn on as a guest. And so he asked me to be the call screener.

So I have, you know, and we're like fancy, schmancy. I call Colin. Hey, Colin, you know, are you ready to go on the air? He's about ready. And he's like, hey, aren't you, Dr. Steve? Aren't this a little bit beneath you? And it's like, no, I'm, you know, nothing's beneath me. I'm nobody.

So I got them out and they started talking, and I got bored. And so, I mean, it's not that they weren't talking about interesting things, but I didn't have anything else to do. And nobody was calling in. So I called trucker, oh, gosh, what was her name? Trucker Jane. Now I'm like, why can't I remember her name? Was a patent?

No. No. It was, um... I know who it is. I can't take her name. I mean, I remember for all the years. Hey, this is trucker Jane. No, I wasn't Jane the truck or something like that.

No, no, everybody's screaming at you in the background. I know, I know, I know. But so I called her first and had her, and I put it up as, I don't remember Jane from Michigan, wherever she was at the time. And, you know, and so they ended like, oh, a girl's calling in. So he picks her up. And she was known for just not being an interesting caller. I loved her.

She was hilarious, but that's what she was known for. So that was the first thing. And that wasn't so bad. But the second thing I did was I called Lady Die. Now, Lady Die, Josh and Scott, you probably don't know who she was, but she was an alcoholic. Oh, I remember her. She ended up. That's right.

She used to call in, and we would hang up on her because I'd say, if you're not calling from rehab, I don't want to talk to you because it got that bad. Wow. But at the time, and she was also known for just spewing nonsense and just going on and on and on and saying nothing. And so I put her up as Diana from New Jersey. And of course, again, it's like, oh, a girl. So click, Diana from New Jersey, it's like, hey, Kyle, how you doing? And 20 minutes later, she's still going on and on and on. And Colin Quinn's just like, yep, yep, oh, yeah, uh-huh, yep, yep.

And at the end of 20 minutes, she finally takes a breath and says, so, Kyle, how are you doing? It's like, so I am laughing my ass off. I mean, I am screaming laughing because I've just ruined his show because as soon as she hung up, Colin goes, well, boys, I got to go. And he did, you know, that's what friends are for. Yes, that is what friends are for. So that resulted in me having one of my prized possessions. So I've got two prize possessions. One is a picture of me with Louis C.K.

With him, and he drew the letters U, G, H, and then drew an arrow to me on that. So I love that. And then, and particularly given what's happened to him, subsequently, it's even more of a rare thing. And then this, Woodfoyer Licker runs into Colin Quinn at a comedy show the next night, and he recorded this Dr. Steve, I hope you better at prostate screenings than you are at radio screenings, the son

of a bitch. One of my favorite things. Colin Quinn calling me a son of a bitch. That is awesome. It's a shout out. It is. Nonetheless, it's a shout out. It's the great, yeah, right. Bad publicity is good publicity, right? You're the market. That's right. There's no such a bad

publicity is there. That's correct. As long as they're talking about you. Right. As long as you're current. So, you know what? And I, and I I was laughing so hard, I was crying, and it really was funnier at the time than I guess me telling it, but, you know, I told Woodflore Liquor, it's like that story about the frog and the scorpion, you know, he's like, well, why did you do that? It's like, well, you know, the frog, you know, I didn't want to give the scorpion a ride across the river.

You guys know this story, right? And the frog is like, well, no, you're just going to sting me. He's like, no, that would be stupid. You know, I would kill both of us. And the frog's like, well, I guess you're right. to get the scorpion hops on his back and halfway across the river the scorpion stings him

and they both go down and the frog says why did you do this? And the scorpion said it's in my nature so that was exactly why I did it because I'm a shit shithead. I am a shithead. I'm not a very good friend and Scott will tell you that. That's why I play... Oh, you get something in your throat

there? That's why I play semi-sweet Melissa. It's a scorpion. It's a scorpion I'm pretty sure. It's not a Now, we should play Semi Sweet Melissa again. That was the first time that Scott sang on our show and then play it the new version.

The new version needs to be redone. No, I mean, well, let's redo a new one now that you've done your vocal lessons and all that stuff. I still have the track in there. You do it, and then we'll play them back to back. Just play, you know, a couple seconds of the first one, say, look, this is his

miraculous transformation. I will say, I heard it's been a little while but I heard an old Jerry Garcia recording back from the late early 60s he was playing his banjo and singing by himself and I was like if Jerry Garcia started off sanding that bad

and grew to be that incredible at least I got something I can do where would I find this I would just early recordings of Jerry Garcia doing bluegrass I mean some of his early stuff was just

of course and it might have been a recording yeah places or the some of the equipment but yeah i've got black mountain boys early jerry garsia bluegrass or it may have been the drugs might have been the drugs you know this one i mean this is this one been pre drugs pre drugs we'll see what it sounds like

okay i can't play too much of this so i got a damn copyright strike no and i love jerry He wasn't more nuanced with the banjo than he was with the guitar, was he? She did. Hang on. He'll wear it out in a minute. Holy moly. He's like old Stevie Bar.

Originally a... I did not know that. Badger pickers. Well, he doesn't sing on this one, but anyway. I think it's later, but, yeah, you can imagine it was pretty rough. Wow. Yeah, so that's why a lot of this stuff that Jerry did with the Jerry Garcia band and certainly with Dave Grisman, who's my hero, the mandolin player, God, is just so beautiful.

You know, he does interpretations of bluesy stuff and jazzy stuff. Yeah. It's just incredible. Yeah, cool. Well, speaking of music, Dr. What the hell is your name again? Scott. No. Having a senior moment.

No, I'm just kidding. So, Stacey, you have sort of a song that you wanted to talk about. I've got a friend. We are strictly just a digital friend, but we've been digital. You mean you're finger in there all the time? Oh, hell, sorry about that. I understand. Oh, my God.

Okay, I guess my son. There's more, guy. That's better. All right. No, Instagram, friends. And when I was on Twitter and everything, we were friends on Twitter. and everything, but Katie Lennendahl. Okay.

No, no, I'm sorry that I made that joke. L-I-N-E-N-D-O-L-A. They talk about the digital rectal exam. Yeah, that was a couple of shows ago. Well, and people think that it's some sort of electronic thing. It's like, no, that's when you stick your finger up somebody. So anyway, that's sorry about that, Katie. She's a good girl, and I just made a really gross joke.

But what kind of friend did he say he was? No, you know, she's filling the scorpion, too. No, but Katie just released an EP, the four songs, and it's called Jericho Battle Crys, the name of her little EP. Okay. It is. I'm looking at it. Believe it or not, she released it in the Christian format, and for, I think, five or six weeks, she has been the number one Christian artist. What?

Yes. On iTunes, most downloaded. Yeah, there's a lot of... And she talks to you? Well, we email it. Oh, God. Oh, and I just made a finger. Oh, my God.

Way to go. How are we going to edit this now? I don't. I don't edit it. I know you don't. And it's not because I have some sort of integrity. It's just because I'm too damn lazy. But the lead song is Jericho Battle Cry.

The proceeds off of that, half of that goes to. Off of that song or Y-O-Y? Because I'm looking at Y-O-Y. Off of Jericho Battle Cry, half of those, we'll get to Y-O-W-W in about 30 seconds. You're talking about the album Jericho Battlecrack. Well, she's really. releasing four different songs. The song, Jericho Battle, probably, 50% of those proceeds goes to, you'll love this,

bugles across America. Okay. Which is, provides buglers, if somebody dies and they're afforded a military funeral, they provide buglers to sound taps graveside. There's not enough to do that. So she's helping raise money to get high school band members and things such as that to help play taps at military funerals. You can check them out at bugles across America.

org. The one that that's awesome. You know how hard it is to play the bugle, to play it well, and then on top of it, because it's just, my understanding, there's no valves, right? Josh, you were a music professor, right? Yeah, a lot of your intonation comes from your lip

angle and things like that. Yeah, it's incredibly difficult. So it'll only play certain notes too, right? There's certain flats and sharps that you could never play on it because it's just a single harmonic tube. I bet I could make some flat notes on I bet

if you could say you can give yourself a bill you listen to semi sweet Melissa you go so flat so you're saying you want to listen to hell no

please no please not today not today I haven't had my medication the one that's that just I mean there's another song

on there is called why oh why and I am not kidding you look at me when I tell you this I have tried over 50 times to make it through this song

I can't make through the song without crying really I cannot make it I want to play some of it, but we're going to get a copyright straight. I don't want you to get in trouble with it. Let me, I'll just play a tiny snippet.

Let me do this. Let me do this right here. Yeah, she sounds like a young Dolly Parton. She really does. I can already hear that. But the thing is, but in this deepest of that is where hope can't be found. Okay, that's about all I can play.

I understand. Yeah, it sounds great. But the thing is, like I said, this thing just rips me apart this song. And I don't know why. That's one thing I want to ask. the two big brains in here is why does this happen? Yeah. Because if you don't know the basis behind it,

the song sounds like, and I would never say this disrespectful of little Katie and everything. She's a good Catholic girl. She really and truly is. Okay, I don't know anything about any of that. Okay. She does a show on XM Satellite 129 on the Catholic channel. Okay. About Catholic music and Christian music.

But the thing is, if that channel has ever been on my radio, it was on the way to something else. I mean, it's just, you know, I don't mean anything bad about that and just never listen to it. I actually started listening to it because I heard. Yeah. And going through a divorce, you know, trying to rebuild life and looking for guidance. But that's a whole other story.

You should call Steve and have. We got plenty of advice with that, don't we? When I'm divorced? Yeah, post-divorce. Oh, yeah. We've got lots. We can help you. How many times you've been married?

Just the once, right? Well, once, yes. Okay, wow. I got you beat. I learned quickly. Once in church and thank God I was in a Methodist church because anywhere else. wouldn't have gotten, you know, it wouldn't have landed, but it was during

the, you know, praises and concerns and I raised my hand, I said, yeah, it's, uh, Tacey's my 10th anniversary today and, you know, everybody's, well, you get this. Yay! And then as it died down, I said, yeah,

I told her that I've been married to her longer and I ever been married to anybody. Thank God I got this. Because there are Some churches where that would not have landed. That wouldn't fly that way. But anyway, go ahead.

Okay. But the song, Y, oh, why is based off of her talking with God and asking why. And the reason behind the why. Why the bad things happen to good people kind of thing? The proceeds of this goes off to the Bat Coal Foundation. I don't know anything about that either. Bat Coal Foundation. Cole was a little friend of hers who died from pediatric cancer.

Okay, yeah. And there's a story on the, I'm going to get here. I'm going to get choked up here in a few minutes. But anyway, so it's like I said, the song just rips me apart now. Granted, I don't have any children in my own. I've got five grand babies. None of them are biologically mine, so I didn't go through the whole thing of raising children. Yeah.

But the whole thing of losing a child. Yeah. And then asking God, why did you have to take this child? Yeah. And then reading the website about how he died. and there's mouse I came here what's called it's

H-A-M-A is the code for a cancer treatment anti I'm just going to let you strangle yourself on that one yeah well that's the reason I went to the doctor and see once again that's why you got him for a friend I don't know what you're talking about on that

yeah what it Scott oh I see yeah I'm used to Tell him. I'm used to being told to eat the mic, so that's what I was doing. Yeah, you're talking about the H.

When you turn your head away like this. Human anti-mouse antibodies, is that what you're talking about? Okay. That was one of the treatments that he was on. But like I said, half of the proceeds that she makes off of this and selling merchandise goes to Back Coal Foundation to help pediatric cancer research. Yeah. Wow. No, that's awesome.

You know, the pediatric oncologists have some really good protocols. I mean, they have excellent success with so many cancers. And we've got a lot of kids that end up at St. Jude's with cancers that end up completely in remission or permanently cured. It's amazing. They really, and kids' immune systems are different, too. They are. You know, we've talked before that cancer is a disorder of the immune system. When we conquer that, we will have a generalizable treatment for cancer.

And if you're interested in looking at some actual non-sudoscience cancer cures that are immunologic in nature, go to Dr. Steve.com and click in the up right-hand corner non-sudoscience cancer cures. Because I've got several articles, and I kind of quit posting to there, but there's an infinite number of them almost. You can go to pubmed.gov and find them yourself or go to clinical trials.org and find them. but there's we will look back someday at the age of chemotherapy and say what a bunch of friggin barbarians

It'll be like Star Trek You remember was it Star Trek Oh the one where they went back in time Four The Journey Home or whatever At the Whales And Chekhov falls off of this thing And he ruptures a vessel in his brain

And they were going to operate on them And bones is like Barbarians And he takes this little thing And passes it over his head and it just fixes it uses transporter technology or whatever and that's the way we'll look at chemotherapy down the road what was this i remember yeah i remember you all talking a story about i know i'm wrong on this but lady it was okay well but go ahead and just barrel forward anyway

okay well because i have no doubt you'll correct me let that stop you not why would i'm gonna make this up as i go but something about a lady being stage four breast cancer and being like a thousand times the dose of measles they put it on to teacher system? It wasn't breast cancer. See, I knew I could spark the memory though. It was multiple myeloma. I'm trying to help you get through the senior moments.

Yeah, thank you. Focus here. So it was an experimental protocol where they knew that measles vaccine, which is a live vaccine, it's live attenuated vaccine, will preferentially invade multiple myeloma cells.

So what they did was they put a marker on the vaccine so that it would take up, or they changed the DNA slightly so that those cells that were invaded would take up radioactive iodine. And so why do you do that? Well, it's not because you want the radioactive iodine

to kill the tumors, what you want is to be able to see where they went. So you can give somebody 6 million doses. They got sicker in hell. because how do you choose? 6 million, 3 million, you know, 20 million, you just don't know. You've got to pick a number.

If your terminal, let's go for it. Yeah, you pick a number and you go for it. So they gave it to them. They got pretty sick, fever, chills, and muscle aches and pains. And then they gave them some radioactive iodine, and boom, it just lit up all those tumors. That was the only place that lit up was where there were multiple myeloma tumors. And that, yeah, and what happens to a cell that is invaded by measles?

virus. Wattzils attack it? And they did, and they attacked the multiple myeloma and killed it. And so it's called viral oncotherapy. And if you go to clinical trials.org, you can find a bunch of different viral oncotherapy trials that are going on right now. So it's cool that we can take a natural virus and kind of fiddle with it a little bit and do this. It'd be really nice if we could just manufacture what we really needed.

to do what we needed it to do. And that's the next step. Okay. But yeah, that's cool as shit. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah. So, anyway, viral oncolitic therapy. That's what it's called.

So I'm looking at this Bat, C-O-L-E dot foundation. And, yeah, you can donate. You can get some shirts. You can do all this kind of stuff. And then, yeah, see, I can't look. I understand. I can't look at this picture either. See?

No, I'm the same way. Okay, so. Hey, let's answer his question about... Yeah, why does that happen? I don't know. Dude, let me tell you one story, and then Dr. Scott's got a hypothesis. Okay. I was at this place having dinner, and Jeanette Williams and her husband, they're from Galax, Virginia.

She's a bass player with the voice of an angel. And she was playing with Stevie Bar, and he's a banjo player, owns the fiddle shop in Gayla. Anybody who's been to the Fiddler's Convention knows who these people are. They were singing a song. I wouldn't listen to the words. I was eating. I couldn't hear the words, but I could hear them singing. All of a sudden, I started crying.

Now, you remember when we had the beer run opening? Yep. And what was the, it was Crystal Shipley, she was the youngest woman who ever won the Fiddler's Convention. But who was the woman who played bass with her? Oh, God. She actually went to, any, Murlfest, it did. She, I don't know. Anyway, but the two of them sang a song, I wasn't listening, just start crying.

There was something plaintiff about that, plaintiff, not plaintiff. And I don't know what it was, but it invoked something in me that choked me up, and I didn't know why. So Scott's got a damn. I've got a hypothesis, yeah, I think it's limbic system activation. Okay, so explain what you mean. Well, the limbic systems, well, it's part of the autonomic nervous system that when you, When you get certain stimulation, it evokes emotions. Okay.

So like, and it's one of those things, especially in females, a little difference between male. What are you saying about me here? No, no, hear me out of this, you'll get it. It's a little bit of the difference between males. This is the way I can explain it the easiest. Male and female. Having sex. Males do it.

They're done, right? You know, let's get over with. Let's exchange fluids. We're done with it, right? Except that males get more attached than females, too, though. You don't have as many female stalkers after sex as you do male stalkers. There's some pretty good data on that. But anyway, go ahead.

But females, you have to make that emotional connection to them. Women really want to have a true, wonderful, not all of them, but a really true, wonderful sexual experience, to have that really deep orgasm, they need this. It's a brain thing. Limbic system activation, which stimulates their hormones. So it's a hormone that's released throughout their body. and a lot of times what you'll get is when you hear these these these these sounds these music smells almost like a harmonics a harmonics certainly is one thing but but you can get those harmonics from different things you can get them from smells right you can get them from sounds and these can stimulate the limbic part of your brain did it and this is a hypothesis

I've never cried from a smell but but but but but you could but but you could what you get your first grandbaby you smit and you sniff of their hair have you ever or grandmother's you know grandmother's cologne or something you smell when you're walking through parks bell or something, yeah. Yeah, I could see that. But that's my theory. The olfactory nerves are the first ones that are wired into the brain, so the smell is very primal. Which is why

I'm cool with the aromatherapy, but you can't just say, well, lavender is calming for everybody. If you were ritually abused by your grandmother and she had lavender in her house, you're going to be just the opposite of so. And the Olympic system, Stacey's not just

for good emotions, it's also for for painful emotions. Yeah. Right. I mean, so you can get, as Dr. Steve said, you know,

maybe you have an aversion to lavender and every time you smell lavender, you get physically sick and you don't know why. Yeah. Right. So people, oh, it's good for, you know, it's like,

shut up the F up. You don't know that it is. You don't know. But I do believe that you can treat people with smells for certain disorders, you know, but you've got to tailor it to the person's experience. Same thing with the tonal things.

Like you're saying, There's a lot of great research on music therapy, like harps, when you play it and you're watching someone, and you can tell by the way their body moves or what they hear, if they like a G or they don't like an F or whatever, and then you can play something in like a mixalidian scale or something that's not a song, but it's a, you know, a scale in that key. See, that's why I think about her music, it's, if you don't, if you never listen to the words or you don't know the story behind it, it's a pretty song. But if you ever go and look at Back Cold Foundation and you see what the basis is behind the song, it hits me on a primal web as you're in. You have context, but let me give you this one. There are people, and I'm one of them, that can cry to certain pieces of classical music. And there's no words, there's no context. There's not a story.

It's just, you know, I mean, it's kind of a story. There's an arc. There's a beginning, a middle, and an end. Right. You know, but, and so I'm looking at this thing here. here that says chills, and if you get chills hearing music, too, are a physiological response which activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which Dr. Scott said that's part of the autonomic nervous system, as well as the reward-related brain regions of the brain. Studies have shown

25% of the population experience this reaction to music. Here, I'll give you one of these. But it's much more than pure physiologic response. Classical music, in particular, steers a a mysterious path through our senses triggering unexpected and powerful emotional responses, which sometimes result in tears and not just tears of sadness. So, you know, it's like, when you watch Rudy,

oh, God. Why do you cry at the end of that? It's something good happened to them. You have to. But something good happened to them. So, but I cried at the end of old yeller. A.I. Or, yeah, or old yeller, because something bad happened. You know, what gets me is fill the dreams every time

filled a dream. So that's kind of what brought It's up to me, but you all had this conversation about six weeks ago talking about movies and emotional responses to that. That's about the time her song hit and it's kind of like, well, now you know the answer to your, now we close this circle. Tears flow spontaneously in response to a release of tension, perhaps at the end of a particularly engrossing performance. So that could have been what happened to me when I was here in Jeanette Williams, you know,

that it was just so beautiful that it just, I just had this. immediate relaxation and that shift in my internal state caused me to kind of tear up. Well, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Myrtle, you're on weird medicine. What is this?

Oh, no. I know, I've never heard of that before. Wow. Only medicine, I just got old talk cars. Does he give you some linnament? I didn't know you were recording. I'll call you back. All right.

Thank you. Okay. Goodbye. That's an attorney. That's our counsel, right? Yeah, it's our counsel. It's our attorney. Believe it or not.

Saying you're getting a copyright strike right now. That's right. So I got one request about this then. If you listen to the song, yes, reach out to Katie through Twitter. Okay. What's her Twitter? Katie Lennedall, K-A-T-I-E-L-I-N-E-N-D-O-L-L-L. She's actually KatieLennadol.com, Katie Lennadol.

On Instagram and let her know, but be nice. Yeah. Don't be that. Oh, God, don't tell people that. You know, that's like you say that. I just lit up your animals. I don't have any animals, but they're, she is rather attractive, too. I've never met her in real life.

I've heard her name before in the context of, didn't she used to do a show? with Sam Roberts? She would come in at night when Sam was doing the overnight shows and kind of sit in with him and that's actually the first time I ever talked to her.

She was talking about scuba diving and I called her and we talked for probably 20 minutes about her wanting to go cave diving and that was years ago. All right, well.

Anyway. God damn, this is about as boring. Oh, okay, sorry. Now, don't say that. Okay, can I ask a medical question? Yeah, of course. Hey, do we do medical shows? Occasionally, occasionally.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Number one thing, don't take advice from some asshole on the radio. Okay, very good. Thank you, Ronnie B. Okay. I got too many questions. Let's do one. It's fine.

You're here. This is your thing. You ask questions. I know. Why do people kiss? Because, no. You are preaching to the converted on this one. I mean, I love it, but I don't know why.

I don't know why. I mean, other than the autumn, look at the smile over here on this one's face. I mean, if you think about it, it is. I mean, it could be just a simple just to touch fingers, touch elbows. Or rub noses. Yeah. But why is that? I mean, it's extremely intimate without using any of your sexual organs.

You know, that's the only thing I can think of. You have more sensory neurons in your lips and tongue than you do, well, except for the genitalia and the fingers. And the nipples. Finger tips, yeah. I mean, you've got so many more sensory neurons in your lips. Think about it. So you think it's just because there's sensory neurons? I think, again, it goes back to the stimulation.

It's the sensory neurons, and that's where you're going to get the most stimulation. If you butted hands. Why don't you just rub assholes then? Because you have a lot of sensory nerves there. Well, because you had to be naked to rub assholes. I got you. So this is like smoking. It's an addiction that used to be socially acceptable, but it is easily done, and it's not that big of a deal.

Right on. So we can be intimate. It's more than holding hands. different than, you know, they got sensors. I mean, yeah, that's what you're saying. You've got all kinds of sensory nerves in here. Now, but to be, to be clear, you don't have a whole lot of sensory neurons in the palm of your hand. Right.

They're in your tips your fingers. Okay. Your genitalia, lips are primary, much more so than you have in your back or. Well, that's where your sense of touch comes from. I mean, that's just part of your survival. So why do you kiss people on the cheek then? Or the air kiss. What's the deal with that?

It's not as intimate. That's just air? I mean, that's just... It's a friendly kiss. It's theater. It's acknowledgement. It's theater. Okay, here, I'm reading here.

Kissing causes a chemical reaction in your brain, including a burst of the hormone, oxytocin. There we go. This is true. Tie it back, go. This is true. Yeah, very good. To the sex, yeah. Yeah, so oxytocin is used for a lot of things in the body, but one of the things it is used for

is to engender trust. And so it's got the so-called trust hormone. As a matter of fact, You can go to a compounding pharmacy and get oxytocin nasal spray. I've known people who have done this, Stephen Tacey. And you, when you're getting ready to engage in a dull relationship, sexual congress, you can spray this stuff up your nose and you get the same feeling that you get right after you have an orgasm, but it's before. And it engenders trust.

And the other thing is, you know, you could make a case for putting this stuff in the air if you're going to have a business meeting. Oh, Josh, this might be one for you for marketing. Josh, marketing. You're trying to sell something to somebody and you just aerosol this stuff in the air and all of a sudden they'll trust you. See, why couldn't you use that for somebody like with emotional issues, emotional trust issues? I don't know.

Maybe they are studying it. But, yeah, according to 2013 study, oxytocin is particularly important in helping mend bond with a partner and stay monogamous. Women experiencing a flood of oxytocin during childbirth and breastfeeding, strengthening the mother child bond. We know that. So nipple stimulation causes release of oxytocin as well. The feel good.

It's also the feel good hormone. But we'll also use oxytocin to cause the uterus to contract after childbirth. Or you can use it to induce labor. Speaking of that. It's used for lots of things. Speaking of that, today is Gail B. Bennington's due date. Oh, is that right?

For her second child. Oh, yeah, good for her. I was listening to the show I was driving up. If you're getting ready to have a kid, go to Dr. Steve.com and click on the one-page baby manual. That's one that mostly Tacey wrote it. I was there. I took notes. But we talked to a bunch of experts and then made it into a one-page manual that gets you through

the first year of life. This article says, this is their opinion, that kissing came from the, the practice of kiss feeding, much like birds feeding worms to their chicks. Mothers used to, and some still do, feed their children chewed up food. Now, I have seen that. And that's disgusting. But I was always thinking it was just that we're back to breastfeeding. Everybody sucked on stuff when they were a kid.

If your mom didn't stick, well, they did. You know, it was either a bottle or your mom's, you know, nipples. Or what? A thumb. Yeah. And so it's got to be related to that as well. that there's some pleasure in that. Agreed.

And then if there's pleasure, like I could suck on somebody's thumb, I guess, and they could suck on mine. We could both just sit there, or we could just take the middle man out, which is the thumbs, and just, you know, suck on each other's lips. There you go.

And that becomes a kiss. That makes sense. Right, you can't suck on your own lips. That explains it. I think we know now. Good question states. Let's see. Older research shows that for women,

kissing is a way to size up a potential mate. It also plays an important, roll in their decision to hit the sheets that's interesting they're less likely to have sex with someone without kissing first well yeah what i got a kissing story everybody's got to have a kissing yeah well yeah i've got i'm going to ask you a question about kissing i got i've got a quickie yeah no no no no take your building building trust yeah went out on a date a couple times with this one gal and when when went to kiss you know after dating once or twice i called her the the uh backwards kisser she would start backing away so needless to say there was no trust that

developed in that relationship and that was a really short dating I think probably two dates or two days maybe yeah yeah the backwards kisser yep it's crazy yeah so have you ever gone in for a kiss and your mouth is somewhat closed with pursed lips and then the woman or guy and what you know whatever um has their mouth wide open have you ever done that and you sort of just stuck your face inside their their face have you ever done that and that's like fishing You're going bass fishing here or something? It's awkward as shit when that happens. I had a girlfriend, and we almost got married,

but that first time we ever kissed, I went in for a kiss. You know, I'm just going to give her a little peck. Yeah, a little, you know, slap, whatever, peck on the lips, and then her mouth was just wide open. I just went, pong, you know. My nose basically hit her upper teeth. It was weird. Oh, my God.

How funny. Yeah, I never could get her to just close your mouth. Just calm down. We'll be okay. Because when your mouth is wide open like that, and both of you are that way, your lips are so thinned out that I don't see what pleasure you get from it. Except, you know, there's this big cavern, and then there's these two tongues just going, le, lead, lead, de, de, de, in between.

You know, I don't get that. No, that's weird. That's just weird. Yeah, okay. Okay, so it's not just me. No. Okay. Because I don't get strip clubs either, so I'm the weirdo on that one.

I just don't get it. What are you supposed to do? You go there. I'm a look at some I can't have. Yeah, and then you go home and just, you know, well, shit, I can't find it. Where is it? I mean, is that what you're supposed to do with a strip club? I just don't get it.

I got everything to spend my money on. Brothels make all kinds of sense to me. Oh, yeah. I mean, all kinds of sense. I'm a libertarian. I think that should be legal and not exploitative. I mean, it needs to obviously. In the safe environment for the girls.

Yeah, absolutely. And a good, you know, income. an insanely good income for many. Yeah, but I don't want anybody coerced or, you know, anything like that. But, you know, some people make the argument, well, you can't do that. I would make the argument that it could be done properly. And you look at Reno and stuff. Sure.

It seems to. I can't, I know this is bad of me here. Or Amsterdam. When COVID first hit and everything, and they started shutting everything down. I was down in New Orleans. One of the strip clubs had a big sign out front and said, You couldn't walk across the state for graduation. Come walk our stage.

Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, okay. Oh, God. You mean they were recruiting. Yes. Yes. Okay, it took me a second.

Okay. Okay, you want another question here? Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Is your stomach in perfect alignment center line? No. Okay. Not at all. Okay.

In that case, then, like I get acid reflux every great once in a while. since the upper part of your stomach, is it the esophagus where the food comes in? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Which side does that on? And because if you get, if you get, you know, like I said, aftus reflex, wouldn't it make more sense to sleep with that on the side where that is down?

Yes. And that's how your stomach's up. Yes. I say, I have stupid things. I think of it. It's not a stupid thing at all because I live this every day. So, yeah, the esophagus, so you've got your mouth. in your tongue.

We just talked about those. The oropharynx, which is the upper part of the combined airway and GI tract. And then it separates. So the airway separates at the epiglottis and goes into the trache in the lungs. And the epiglottis basically a flap that keeps food from just going into your lungs. That's where the cornbread goes. And then on the way down, exactly. And then on the way down from there is your esophagus.

Okay. And the esophagus has to pass through the. diaphragm because the stomach is right under the diaphragm. So if it's got to pass through there, there has to be a hole in the diaphragm, right? And that's called the hiatus. Okay.

So it passes through it. Now, you've heard of people having a hiatal hernia. Yes. Well, hernia is when a structure passes from one part of the body to another part of body where it's not supposed to be. That's all it, that's really just the late definition. And your famous word is

that's where it bloops out at? Yeah, right. So it'll, right. So the, um, that place where the esophagus goes through and then the stomach is right under there and it's sort of separated by this diaphragm and this little hole in the diaphragm, it's not stitched

in real well. And so if you stretch the esophagus just a little bit, you can pull that top part of the stomach right up above the diaphragm. And that is a diaphragmatic or hiatal hernia. And when you do that, the stomach no longer has, or the esophagus no longer has the ability

to just keep things in the stomach because the valve that's down there is just a real sort of loose sphincter and it gets out of shape and now all of a sudden stuff can can flow freely. Okay. What is a sphincter? A circular muscle or a round valve or what? It's a circular muscle that makes a round valve. So I'll give you one of these. Give yourself a bill.

I've always wondered about that question. Thank you for asking that. So, yeah, you've got several sphincters. The one that you know of is the one on your ass that keeps you. from just dropping turds everywhere you walk, because that's what it would be. And that's an evolutionary thing. We need to be able to control where we defecated

or the Sabretooth Tiger just be able to chase us down wherever we were. Just follow the turds, you know. So anyway, so now, so it comes down below and the stomach then turns to the right. And so the stomach is a little bit left of midline, but a lot to the right of the midline and then at the very end of it is the pyloric valve

or the pylorus, which is another sphincter, you know, a muscular valve, that then goes into the small intestine called the duodenum is the first one and then the jejunum is the second part and then the ilium is the third part. So I only say that because you've heard of duodinal ulcers.

Yes. And that is an ulcer that's just on the other side of the stomach. Okay. Now, so it does make sense that if you have a stomach full of some contents that if you're going to go to sleep at night, you're going to want to sleep on your right side because now it'll all pile up in the part of the stomach

that is as far away from the esophagus as you can get it. That makes sense. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way because it's not like the stomach is full of air and then there's just this air fluid level that's sitting there. No, really, you know, you belched up all the air, so it's more like a Ziploc bag that you've evacuated the air from

and you've put like olive oil in it. Like you filled it up with olive oil and then you evacuated out the air. And if you turn it up on its side, it's just going to collapse, but the fluid still has access to the top part of the bag. Does that make sense?

Yes. And so that's why that doesn't work perfectly, but it might help a little bit. And the other thing is that pyloric valve is pretty good at keeping food in the stomach because if you let stuff out of the stomach before it's ready and it hits the intestines and it's undigested by the stomach, then the body can't handle it, and then you just get, you know, voluminous diarrhea and gas and bloating and all that stuff.

Misery pain. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the reason I ask that is you and I talk. It's a damn good question, though. Thank you. As all of yours are actually. Some of them are you. They would, you ought to play the ones that don't make the air sometime.

I don't think we've ever had one that didn't make the air. There's some that shouldn't have. No, they're all good questions. No, because you and I talked a couple of weeks ago about me changing my diet. And so I've been working on that. Because of your reflux. Well, but because of the diabetes also, the type two diabetes. But we talked about you going on a low carbohydrate diet.

Is that the conversation I'm thinking about? And as weird as I don't know if it's a weird. And my buddy, Dr. Scott, can also help on this one. Because I've also been fighting with heel spurs. I've got one that goes down, and it looks like a fishing hook in the X-ray, and I've got one comes out the back. Lovely. And so both of those, but.

And you'd think those would be the things that cause the pain, but they're actually not in Scotland. And because I've been also been doing the, I just drew a blinkle on the heel muscle. Plano fasciitis. I've been fighting with that. But so what I've been doing is. That's really where the pain is coming from.

We'll talk about that. I spend so much time at the pickup truck chasing maritime. accidents, doing maritime investigations, doing audits and everything else that I'm in a hotel all the time. I haven't seen my apartment in three weeks right now, two weeks at least. But, so it's always a hamburger or something with a drive-thew. But what I've started doing is making a conscious effort to go to Roushes or Albertsons or somewhere where I can go get a big salad bar. And so I've been making two salads.

One I take to the hotel whenever I get a chance to get to a hotel. And the other one goes in the cooler in the truck. Yeah. And I generally have that for breakfast as the next day. And within the last week, my hill spurt doesn't bother me. Yeah, and your reflex won't bother you either, for the most part. But the hill spurt is gone. Well, for the most part, until I'm bucked my foot into something.

But it was always waking me up in the middle of the night. And for some reason, the halfway down my calf goes to sleep. Okay. That's not a heel spur. But I have a hypothesis why he feels better on that diet as far as the pain in his leg's got. What do you think? I'd be checking even for gout, too.

Just make sure there's nothing more than just a hillsport. Well, I think it's anti-inflammatory diet. It's an anti-inflammatory diet. And I'll tell you this, too, Stace, if you'll make sure when you're eating those salads, try to make sure that you don't have anything really cold going into your stomach. Make sure the dressings and all the salad components are at least room temperature. And your stomach is a muscle It likes warm stuff

The more warm stuff you've been in it The more mobile it is And less acid is produced Okay Because if you just put cold stuff in there all the time Then you're kind of shrinks your stomach a little bit And your body tends to put a little extra acid in there And that's why a lot of folks

Have a whole lot more Trouble with reflux See that's one thing I'm knows Because I was real bad about making me A great big thing of ice water And when I get up in the middle of night to go to the bathroom, you know, give me a big, big slug of ice water, and then it takes to like an hour to go to sleep.

And I remember Scott saying, don't drink anything cold before you go to bed. Yeah. And so I just quit. No, he's right about that stuff. I used to think he was full of it. And then he explained this business of cold things causing the stomach to basically paralyze. Because if you jump into a, if you jump into a cold river, and I've done this when I was river rafting, and if it's cold enough, you cannot move.

And that's how people drown. And, I mean, it's, you feel like, you know, surely I could just swim out of here, but your muscles won't move. They're shocked. And when you do that to your stomach with ice cold things, which were never in our environment when we were growing as a species unless we live way far north, I guess. I guess, well, that's, there were some things. But our stomachs really aren't designed for just a constant influx of ice any more than they are a constant influx. of carbohydrates because that wasn't in our environment when we were evolving as a species. Right.

And when I have people with bad reflux, particularly if they're diabetic, and they go on a lower carbohydrate diet, it really does make a huge difference. The heartburn goes away, their blood sugars get better. I've had people come off all of their, you know, medication. Don't do that. Just because I, but I'm just saying I've seen it. But it certainly is, it certainly is very doable. You know, the thing I'd tell you, too, Stace, is when you go in there, instead of having that salad for breakfast, peanut butter, sugar-free peanut butter.

No breakfast. Just plain old peanut. That kills my reflux, though. Some people, you might be able to do that. You might not. Yeah, yeah. But you can try it. Not for a right.

Try it. So before we go, I wanted to show Josh something. And this is the roadie. You can get it at rody. com's r-o-a-d-d-de-I-E dot Dr.steve.com. Or you can just go to stuff. Dr. Steve.com and see a video of it. But this is, you're a musician

and you're going to love this. This is a robotic guitar tuner. But it'll tune any stringed instrument except I wouldn't use it on my strativarius. You know what I mean? That would be kind of stupid. Let me show you how this works. Let me crank my bass up here a little bit.

Let me get it out of tune a little bit. All right. So I've got it set for my... Stand up right there where you can look over. I mean, you've got to have my cable look at it. For my jazz bass, and now I pluck the string. And the little arm is just turning the keys itself. I'm not doing that.

Unlike a regular tuner that just shows you where you should tune it, this thing tunes it for you. And the cool thing is you could do this in the middle of a gig, because it's independent of what else is going on around it. It's only interested in the vibrations that it's picking up from the arm itself. There you go. Tuned up. It's pretty incredible.

It really is, isn't it? Check it out at roadie. com. And we got it sounds perfect now. Yep. Perfect. Perfect. All right.

Well, anyway, thank you, everybody. You can see the roadie, as I said, at stuff. dot Dr. Steve.com or go to roti.com. Thanks always. Go to Dr. Scott. Stacey Deloach, Mr. Josh.
