What happens when two raindrops fall in love? They become rainbows. What happens when Dwayne Johnson and a pig give you a hug? You're stuck between the rock and a lard place. I think asparagus might be an untapped power source because after you eat it, it seems to produce a lot of enriched uranium. By the way, I have a routine you might like. I can welcome you home at the day's music and relaxing music.

Do you want to try it? No problem. 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. Why can't you give me the respect that I'm entitled to? I've got diphtheria crushing my esophagus. I've got Tobolabov stripping from my nose.

I've got the leprosy of the heartbells, exacerbating my imbatable woes. I want to take my brain out I'm clasped with the wave An ultrasonic, ecographic and a pulsating shave I want a magic pill All my ailments The health equivalent of citizen cane And if I don't get it now in the tablet

I think I'm doomed Then I'll have to go insane I want to requiem for my disease So I'm paging Dr. Steve Dr. Steve Yo-Dio Take a cow from you I do the learn of pain

The guy that plays, he's the guy that plays the crooked veterinarian. I better call Saul, do you watch that at all? I watched Breaking Bad. Okay, well, you... So I like Saul. You need to watch it.

The first season took a minute, but then once it gets going, it's amazing. And you've got five seasons now that you can just binge through the whole thing. It's brilliant, and Vince Gilligan is still just amazing. And I'm waiting to see if the finale could be anywhere even close to Breaking Bad's finale, which to this day, I still think is the best finale of any show. Followed second by, what do you think, Tastes, Battlestar Galactica? I thought that finale was great. That was pretty good.

Listen to us, nerds. You know, BSG, man. It's awesome. That's shown television. So anyway, oh, and if you want, I'll do cameo for you. Go to cameo.com around the app to search for Dr. Steve Weird Medicine. I'll save fluids and secretions to your mom. I'll do whatever you want.

It's dirt cheap. I just like doing it. It's fun. it's stupid now I didn't have one group that was doing a medically themed performance and they wanted to know how to pronounce the words and so I pronounced them for him and then I told them what they meant and they said they found that very useful although the program the person who was directing it was not the person that asked me about it and he said oh no he's pronouncing those wrong and it's like okay yeah I I'm pronouncing them wrong. They want their $5 back. Well, I mean, yeah, I've been doing this almost 40 years, and, you know, the guy thought it was funny. The guy that hired me.

And I think it was corky. St. Clair was the musical director. So, anyway, he knew more than I did about how to pronounce things like apatosis and stuff like that. There you go. So last time, P.A. Lydia, oh, please don't forget to check out Dr. Scott's website at simplyherbils.net. That's simplyerbils.net. And last time we were here with P.A. Lydia, we had some people infiltrate our chat room that were saying very naughty things. And they were never there before, never there again. Your buddy, what was his name? Ben? Was it Ben? The guy from Brad. The guy from... Oh, yeah, Brad. Brad, Jenneroo. They watched the show, and they were, like,

and getting mad, like, they were going to kick those guys' asses and stuff. Well, first they asked me if I were a woman, right? Well, I wasn't going to say all the things that they said about you. Well, it doesn't matter, but they just established whether there was any truth to it because we're a very open and inclusive organization. Oh, you mean Brad said that? Well, actually. Because the people were, you know, they were making unkind,

jokes toward PA Lydia who was a delightful and lovely person but what they got a little offended my they were madder in hell my crew got a bit offended yeah and all you were doing was sitting here trying to help people and what I realized later they never came back so I have a funny feeling that the keyword that we used which if I put it on there again I'll spell it differently I'll do it like U-K-R-A-A-apostrophe N-E or something like that, because I learned to do that with a, not apostrophe, exclamation point, V-E-R-M-E-C-T, exclamation point, and, you know, when I wanted to talk about Ivermectin. Well, I got one of my tweets got flagged by Twitter because I posted studies on

clinical trials.gov, which, by the way, is. a government website that showed 72 studies on ivermectin in COVID-19 i was just trying to say that it wasn't complete horseshit and no pun intended that someone might think that ivermectin could possibly be effective in that that there were scientific reasons why people thought that it had um antiviral properties and indeed they were there and i'd got flagged by twitter so i started spelling it differently, but it's very difficult to spell it that way with exclamation points instead of letters. But anyway, so that was interesting. So I think either, I'm not saying we were infiltrated by Russian operatives, but it was definitely somebody that wasn't keen on what we were

talking about. Yeah, a bit sympathetic, perhaps. Who knows? Or just, they're just trolls, which is fine, too. It's good to have attention, right? I mean, it's good to have attention. One of my favorite shows, and some of my best friends are basically professional trolls. I mean, who are these podcasts? I spent a whole weekend with them and 300 of their fans this last weekend in Nashville.

They did a live show. And they're basically, Carl makes a living, trolling people. He calls it roasting. And really, it is more kind of roasting because he's not trolling people on the internet.

You know, he takes, their content and comments on it and just shits on it and uh but it was so much fun it was great meeting everybody um hung out with uh carl and his lovely wife jenny jingles and got to sit on the stage and i was so frigging nervous dr scott i was more nervous doing this than i was the first time i did opion anthony because it was a live crowd we're on the stage you can't see the crowd. You put on the headphones, you can't hear the crowd anymore. So it was like you were isolated. I didn't know if we, it was hard to tell if you were getting laughs or any response or anything. And stupid Carl, I thought I was going just to sit in the audience and

have fun. And he was kind enough, I wouldn't put it that way, to invite me to be on the show, but I found out about it on Thursday. And I was to leave on Friday. So Thursday evening I get an email from Carl It says, yeah, be at the meet at greet at this time And I thought this was, he was sending it out to everybody that had tickets And then I realized, oh no, he's talking about people that are involved Wait, I'm one of the VIPs, wait, I bought two tickets for the VIP meet and greet I had to buy two tickets to meet myself

And then I had six tickets And I guess that if I had known, I still would have bought them but you know there was a lot I just didn't know about and he's like well we're doing this podcast I'll let you know later and then his wife was the one that told me hey we're doing this specific episode so instead of just having a nice quiet or not quiet time but a nice time drinking Friday night at the bar that they had picked for the pre-show meet and greed I had to go back and start yet you know pulling tape thank God I brought my Mac with me and I had my audio editing software, but I had to listen to this damn podcast that we were reviewing.

They don't review fun to listen to podcasts, and I had to listen to it at least three times to decide which clips, and then I had to pull the clips, and then I had to write stuff down. I didn't have a printer. I didn't even have a pen. So I had to put it in email, email it to myself, run downstairs to the business office that they had and print them out it was crazy so at the time i got there on saturday i was so over prepared oh plus i'd said well i'll just walk to the place because i got the place because it supposedly was within walking distance well google maps is great if you're driving somewhere

if you're walking somewhere f you google maps it sucks it it would got me going down one thing and the next thing i know it's saying go do a u-turn and then i do the u-turn and then it'd make me go back the same way again. It sucks in Virginia too, have to say. Yeah, it was terrible. In biking. Someone I was riding a bike was on a bike tour one time and we were using Google Maps to

get ourselves from Virginia to Georgia. Yeah. And it kept taking us this horrible direction but we just kept forging ahead until the road ended and then the dirt road ended. Then we were in the middle of the field and Vlad. Finally, like

after being silent, piped up the third cyclist with those. He said, sometimes you have to be smarter than the technology you're using. You can't just blindly follow it. Yeah. Yeah. So I ended up having to be smarter. And I finally, I just saw the place and I turned it off because it was ridiculous and figured out a way to get there. Well, anyway, so I was hot. I was kind of, you know, flustered. And then we get right in there. And I was running late too. So I got there just in time to sign a bunch of posters, which are really cool. I've got one. Oh, I was going to bring it in and show everybody who's watching live.

But, yeah, we had to sign 50 of those for the meat and greet. So I made it to the poster this year. Mint Salad is the name of their artist. And, yeah, so I got to be on the poster. Of course, I look like that bald meme guy that's always mad. You know, that sort of minimalist bald meme thing. It just sort of looks like a hit. and he's always mad anyway I looked like that but that's because that's what I really look like

is no flies on her artistic talent but anyway and then um so they call me up and I was having a blast I mean it was so much fun I get up there and I'm so over prepared I couldn't I couldn't really live without my notes because I was prepared on paper but I hadn't just kind of internalized at all and there was no place to put the notes and it was dark, relatively dark up on the stage and I had my notes in my lap because there was no place to put them and I couldn't see them.

So I was looking down and apparently I wasn't using good mic technique and it just all kinds of shit, but got a couple of laughs and had a blast. It was great seeing everybody. And then during the Stuttering John segment, I got to stand up and I did a strip tease when I took off my shirt

to reveal the t-shirt that I had underneath, which was a, you know, propos t-shirt that was all in jokes one of the guys on i think it was gameron k y on reddit said to to under imagine trying to explain this t-shirt to someone you would have to know like just a litany of things for it to all make sense and the fact that it was green because john can't quite figure out how to work a green screen you know there's just so many in jokes on this stupid t-shirt but anybody was there immediately got all of it. You know, it's kind of interesting.

It's like language. If you look at a word, like you look at that license plate up there, you don't have to translate that to see that it says weird medicine. And you look at the icon next to it. You can tell that's supposed to be me and there's a spine. You don't have to translate any of that. But if you showed that to a three-year-old, they would just see a bunch of shapes and stuff.

So, you know, memes and meme culture and that kind of stuff, There is a language to it, you know, inside jokes and comedy and things. You have to have some sort of background to get it. And I thought that was an interesting point. So anyway, so it was a blast in that we had a meet and greet afterward upstairs. This place was at the Nashville Winery, which is a wonderful place to do an event. And it was nice, it was beautiful in there, way too beautiful for us. And you could order from your table just by clicking a QR code.

So, yeah, it was neat. And I really appreciate Carl letting me be part of it and including me in it. And there was a comedy show that night. There were three of the people that had been there did stand up at this funky little bar in downtown Nashville. And it was just a great evening. And, you know, everybody kind of dug each other. There weren't any problems. Everybody was well-behaved.

and it was just a fun, fun weekend. So when these come up again, everybody's listening to me. If you like Opian Anthony, it's that same sort of vibe. I mean, it's the same, it's descended from the Opian Anthony show, so that vibe is there. And they have kind of a joy and just silly, you know, goofy roast type humor. So I'll keep you guys abreast of when that's ever going to happen again because I know they're going to do it again because this one was very successful.

Anyway, questions, comments? Okay, we'll move on. I just wanted to debrief, and Tacey hadn't heard half of that. It's very interesting. I get home, and she's like, okay, here, there's this and this to do. We had prom the night before. That's right. I missed prom.

But anyway. Well, and you're retired, too. You're on a schedule. She is retired. I mean, it was exhausting. So she didn't want to hear my stories when I got home, and that's fine. Anyway. Yes, I did.

I even asked you. Oh, there's Ki and you, Dave. Oh, whatever. All right. P.A. Lydia, you're always good for a few stories. What you got for us today? Well, I came. I didn't ask you before the show.

Sorry, so I'm putting you on the spot. Well, I told Tacey that I came a bit unprepared and I was super excited about her topic. Okay. You know? Let's hear it. I'm a bit. I have some stuff, but what? I need to talk about.

There you go. You can just pull the microphone close to you. I can talk about turnicets. Let's go. That doesn't sound interesting. No, let's talk about, we see turnicent injuries all the time. Post-surgical tourniquet injuries. There are problems. Yeah, we see them all the time.

I had one yesterday. Well, you know what is crazy? We could talk a little bit. And this is when PA John was here, he was an orthopedic PA. Allegedly. Allegedly, right. Sometimes I'm wondering as well. But one of the things that blew my mind when I did orthopedic surgery is they're going to, if they're going to, if they're going to, if they're

going to operate on someone's hand. They put a tourniquet around the top of their arm and they make it a bloodless field. They will cut off all circulation to that arm and then they can operate it for an hour or two. And then when you undo the tourniquet, it most

of the time comes all the way back to normal. It's amazing how our extremities can deal with lack of blood flow that long. Yeah, I think two hours is the accepted limit. Isn't that crazy? And they started doing that in like the 1500s. making a bloodless field.

Wow. With turnicates, yeah. Anyway. That's pretty interesting. Yeah, can you imagine having a battlefield amputation done in the Civil War or something with where at that time the surgeons that were good were the ones that could do it the fastest. So if you could amputate a leg in under 14 seconds, that was considered, you know, you were a, you were a a good surgeon. Do you have anything to do with your post-surgical complications? None of that. Get that leg off as quick as you can. Because can you imagine the pain.

And I have a bit of a one-tracked mind, as I'm quite saturated with allied extract in Ukraine. But you've heard a lot about the Azovstahl plant, the workers, that Russia says they surrendered. But what was happening was there, they just didn't have medical supplies. So people with leg injury, as they got infected, they were just having to amputate them. Oh, my goodness. They're in the plant. Just because they didn't have, like, simple antiseptics. Yeah.

So it's not just in the Civil War. No, that's right now. Fair enough. Fair enough. Do you want to give out a plug for your group? Well, we could give you a plug, right? So thank you so much for sponsoring this convoy. We're able to get a bunch of, is that okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we were just able to get a bunch of medical. supplies i know dr steve is very uh modest but he's uh anyway we were we were you wouldn't think it's true shut up tacy it is true we were supposed to get some very much needed medical supplies into a very eastern city at a maternity ward so oh that's awesome and they sent back a heartfelt thank you video oh awesome so thank you very much for that yeah we just continue to send in medical supplies uh to areas that don't have them so hopefully we would not have people being amputated.

Yeah, that's awful. So give people. Same limbs, same lives. If they want to donate, where would they go to? Yeah, just allied extract.org. Alidextract.org. And spell extract right, you all. It's not that hard.

B-A-C-T-R-A-C-T. Thank you. Because I get people, I couldn't email you, and they're spelling weird, W-I-E-R-D. So, you know. Well, that one is a hard word. I know. How do you remember it? you know the usual you'll rule is i before e except weird is spelled weird weird weirdly you spell it

weirdly right exactly very good dr scott all right so tacy what it was your thing overactive bladder i just need to listen i have been hinting and bitching about this for a while to me or on the show well um you can tell how much he pays attention to you and listen to it no i got the message when i found the puddle of urine under your chair. We've got to talk. And I don't know if this is really an appropriate discussion

for this show because I don't know what percentage of women listen to this. Well, okay, most of the guys, well, okay, a fraction of the guys who listen to the show have a woman that they live with that may have this problem. Well, it's obnoxious. So talk about it.

So when I was at the concert, you know, I had to know 30 minutes ahead of time if I would have to pee. That's stupid. Okay. Yeah. And then you'd have to pee over and over and over again. And let me tell you, if you drink wine on a regular basis, Mickleope Ultra doesn't do it for you.

All it does is make you pee. Yeah. And so... You're just hydrating with the McLoughbylure like somebody we know. Very, very hydrated. So anyway. But it's ridiculous. And they tell you to hydrate.

hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Well, are you also supposed to pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, p, p, p, p, p, p. Why not just piss in place? What do you mean? Well, you're at a concert, and you're surrounded by people. No, no, come on, Steve. It's disgusting. Okay.

And so. Sorry, oh, I'm the idiot. Just kidding. Yeah. With that comment, maybe. I got, I'm taking, I'm, I'm editing that snort out. Okay, go ahead. That was Scott.

Yes. Did you snort? Anyway, before the show he did, can't you tell? So anyway, so, okay, so for you, because of your morals, you decided not to piss standing with people all around you. No, but I'm sure I was one of few who decided that because the floor was quite wet. However, so there's overactive bladder. There's several things that you.

you can have right there's overactive bladder there's um stress incontinence there's what are the other things overflowing incontinence and how do you know which one you have okay well let's do this let's take a short quiz and you can answer and lydia if you've got different answers but uh there's a quiz she's a baby okay so she doesn't have it but she has had a baby so she could have some issues you know, as you pass that giant head through your vaginal canal, it can, you know, sometimes cause some issues with the tissues around it. So I didn't have a C-section, but. Oh, okay, fair enough.

Well, good. Well, they can, by God, cut it. I'm still interested. So do you experience any of the following bowel and or bladder control symptoms? Number one, frequent urination. Yes. But let me be clear. This is not a bowel issue.

I get it. I know. Okay, you can say that later. Let the doctor ask his questions. Sudden or strong urge to urinate. Yes. You're in leakage with little or no warning. If you make me laugh, I might pee on myself.

Okay, so that's going to be a no. You're in leakage with exertion, e.g. laughing, sneezing, and exercise. Incomplete emptying of the bladder. Yes, and this is very interesting or disgusting. I have to lean forward to get it all out. Yes, okay, and I know why that is, and we'll talk about it again. And bowel leakage, she said no. That's not an issue.

Okay. I do not poop myself. How long have you had bladder control symptoms? Okay, so in... Less than... Okay. Okay, I have to explain this. This is our relationship.

Shut up. When I was in Virginia, I was afraid to drink anything because the GPS would send me down these Godforsaken roads that wouldn't have places to be. Right, right. My doctor suggested... They didn't have woods or anything. My doctor suggested that they did, but I'm not doing that. That I put a pea bucket in my car, which I decided was a no-go.

So I just wouldn't drink anything. That works for dudes. That doesn't work so well for women. How are you going to do that? It's difficult. It is difficult. You could get a pure wick. Some women are like, oh, I don't care, I'll go ahead and do it.

What about a pure wick? You could get just a, you know, port-a-potty. Are you guys familiar with pure wick at Lydia? You want to talk about what a pure wick is? Yeah, it's like a suction. So it's a catheter that is non-invasive. There you go. So essentially it's a bit of a cylindrical shape that's curved toward the contour of the woman.

As she urinates, there's a gentle suction that just wicks away the air. I could have had that when I was in Virginia because I was thirsty the whole time afraid to drink anything because I'm afraid I'd have to pee when my GPS would tell me to go down a road that GPS was not recommended. Yeah, and then all of a sudden you would start feeling. like you had to because you knew you were going to. Yeah. Let me put, Purewick in your car. Let me see if anybody sells a good thing. I did pee in a cup while driving on a highway one time.

Well, I made a control. So you put the cruise control on and then you kind of hiked yourself up so that there would be some distance between your nether regions and the seat itself and then jam the cup under there. Now, did you tilt your seat forward? Because that's a, that's an old school. Now, was this a... I tilted it back, if anything. Well, the back goes.

Yeah, but the sea goes for, it gives you a little bit better angle. A little more space. I had a urinary tract infection at the time, I think. Looking back, it was college. They talk like Hick to you. She's with us. Amy's with us. Okay, well, she may have something to say about it, too much.

Yeah, there's a Purewick is a female external catheter, and then there's a purewick urine collection system that goes with it, and it works outside the body to draw urine away, and I'm just trying to see you can have it at home. I don't see a way that you can do it in the car, though. Okay. Because I started to say a day late and a dollar short because wouldn't that be something? Maybe we need to come up with something like that because dudes can get a Texas catheter. It's just basically a condom catheter that you could slip over your penis and then just urinate into that into a bag to your heart's desire.

Richard Christie, when he goes to, from the Howard Stern Show, when he goes to concerts, he just wears a diaper and pisses and shits in it all day. long. Oh, God. Yeah. He said he doesn't want to miss anything. Yeah, makes sense. So, there you go. I have another option for you. You go to OzFest with David Miller and you stand outside and it's 108 degrees out there and you drink 12 bottles of water and two or three beers and don't piss one time the whole day because you're sweating so much. That happened to a friend of But anyway, yeah, seriously, 12 waters, I counted them, never pissed one time. So can we talk about medications and or, like, are there generic remedies for this? Sure.

There's all kinds of things. I remember there used to be lots of commercials for it on TV, and now I don't see that very often anymore. Well, I think that the commercials have gone away because it, it, is. is so inculcated in primary care now that they don't need to advertise anymore. So, yeah, there are lots of things that you can do for overactive bladder. The first thing to do is report it to your health care provider because there are other things that could be, as Tacey alluded to. You could have urge urinary incontinence, stress urinary incontinence, then urinary retention,

which is where you can't, your ability to empty your bladder is so limited that the only time you can piss is when your bladder is completely full and under huge pressure. So we were doing a quiz. Where did I end up on the quiz? Or did I interrupt you to the point where? That's fine. Well, where do you think that I? Yeah, you have.

You failed. I failed. Congratulations. That's typical. Yeah, I just wanted to get you to admit all that stuff on the radio. Thank you. so there are tons of quizzes that you can take online and if you have it then and particularly if it's affecting your lifestyle for example for tacy i might not be so inclined to treat her now because it's purely every you're going to take a pill all the time to just deal with the problem that happens when you are in a concert well what i worry about is at the beach because you're drinking and you don't want to go back.

Okay, tell everybody what you do. I go to the ocean and I pee. Oh, gross. With friends. Who doesn't do that? We have pee buddies. That's common. Me and my friend Karen.

See, the two women are like, totally normal. Completely acceptable. Yes. Do you do that? It's the ocean. Scott? Oh, yeah. Do you?

I can't do it. Okay, the three of you do it. But I won't pee in a lake because that water does not move. No, that water does not move. I don't have. What is he called? So you'll see all these people at the beach, and everyone, every once in a while, they'll get up and they'll go out, oh, well, I'm going to go swimming, and then they just stand there and look around, and then they turn around, they come back. That's me with my friend.

And you know, everyone knows what you're doing. And sometimes we have contests to see who can pee the fastest. It's a little difficult with the waves sometimes. But I just, yeah, and I just don't want to be up and doing that six times an hour with this. So is there a way you can treat it? minimally, like only when you need. Yes, I, yes, you could. You could.

Now, the problem is, is that the inexpensive medicines for this tend to have what are called anticholinergic effect. So the way that they work is by decreasing certain impulses to the bladder. And these impulses are ones that cause it to, to contract, right? And that same mechanism will also give you dry mouth and may give you fast. heart rate. Oh, I don't want that. So you want ones that are specific and don't do that, but then those are more expensive. And, but there are, yes, there are medications that you can take and you could really, they're short acting so you can take those, you know, on an as-needed

basis when you're at the beach, although I wouldn't drink with them. That's the thing. But if you were, it's not explicitly contraindicated, but, you know, there's... That's just stupid then. Okay, well, all right. But you could take them. Um, just situationally, as you, as you alluded to. Okay. I haven't touched the camera in probably 20 minutes. Sorry, everybody, but, but anyway, yeah, um, there's all kinds of them. There's oxybutin.

That's the old school one. Then the, the, um, antidepressant deloxetine, which is Simbalta, was originally studied for, uh, Or overactive bladder and spastic bladder. And then it ended up being approved as an antidepressant, which I found interesting. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah. It's number one, Tultaridine's number one drug that they were concerned about when they were rolling it out was deloxetine. And then they just shifted gears all together and marketed it as a completely something else.

Still peeing the same, but I feel so much better. Right. Right. So anyway, yeah, it is a problem. If it is affecting your ability to work or any other way that it affects your lifestyle, then you should seek treatment for this. You do not have to live with a bladder like that. Now, I have a friend who has a prostate that is as big as a grapefruit,

and he has to piss every 15 minutes. I mean, if we go to a movie, he's getting up, constantly getting up. It's miserable for him. Did you, were you going to say something? Yeah, it's going to say, and for, especially for female bladder or urinary incontinence, it had electric acupuncture, electric stimulation acupuncture points has been shown to help reduce the incidence of the leakage. Really? Yep.

And I pulled one study up. Wait a minute. I wasn't paying attention. What did you just say? Well, I can put needles around your ankles and in your back and put electricity to it and lower the incidence of your incontinence. You know what else you can do? If it's urinary incontinence that you're dealing with, like stress urinary incontinence. Our friend Chanda does a procedure.

It's called Votiva. And it's also been demonstrated to decrease the tone of that upper vaginal wall. Because remember, the lower wall of the bladder is the upper wall of the vagina. And if the upper vaginal wall gets weak, then the bladder will start to bloop down into the vagina. which causes Tacey's other problem. Having to lean forward. Yeah, having to lean forward because now you've got, you have urine that's pooling in the bladder. And there are some women have to wear a pessory, which is a device that you insert into the vagina to support the vaginal walls.

Or they will lean forward and stick their hand in their vagina and push up on the wall to get the bladder to empty completely. But it's just a... It's just a mess down there. Yes, it is. But the votiva, if you've got somebody in your area that can do the votiva treatments, it has been shown also to help with that syndrome. Is that where they use the probe and go in vaginally and do like the electrical? Yeah, it's radio frequency and microneedling.

I think there's micrneedling involved with the votiva. I know at least it's radio frequency. Yeah. And it tightens everything up. And the thing about it is, I can't do that procedure. I think we've talked about on this show, if I get a woman in the stirrups and I stick the votiba probe in their vagina and start going in and out and in and out and all around and then back in and out and out and then back in and out and in and out again, the second I'm done if they don't stop me, you know, two minutes into this, they're going to run straight out of there and run to the cops and say that doctor is a damn pervert. You know, he assaulted me or whatever. So Chanda does that one. I can't touch that machine. Hey, well, I don't have to stick anything in your vagina, which is nice.

Okay. That is nice. Angles and back. Ancles and back, yeah. Ancles used to be a little spicy. I think they're acceptable now. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep.

I saw a hint of her ankle. Can you imagine? No. We're so far from that now. Showing somebody, like if you wanted to be coy and coquettish, that you lifted up your dress and showed someone this, the ankle bone. And they were like, oh, she wanted to be coy and coquettish, that you lifted up your dress and they were like, oh, oh, She's working with him. Yeah.

All you got to do is go to Splash Country and then you see everything you want to see. Yep. Dolly's Splash Country, including pubic hair down to your knees, sticking out of your bikini bottom. And 450-pound women in bikinis. Yeah. Down to the knees. At least. Yeah.

It was just the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen in my life. They're never going. Well, it's fine other than that. Just don't look at other people. How about that? If we just don't pay attention to other people, then we won't judge them, and maybe they won't judge us. How about that? It's not judgment, I guess.

We were pretty judgmental about that. I was very judgment. Because it was like, you see it, and it was like, oh. Just cut it off. You don't see that? You know what I mean? I'm sorry. Is the hair down to your knees?

Coming through your bikini bottom? And it's your pubic hair? You're trying to be nice, but you know deep down. There's got to be. Like, it must be nice to feel that good about yourself. Yeah, or not care. Or not care. That would be lovely.

And, okay. That's actually a pretty good point. It's just somebody just doesn't give a shit. Still disgusting. But good for her. Yeah. Must not run a lot. I don't give a shit about what I look like until I see a picture of myself.

When I look in the mirror, I can fool myself. Oh, yeah, you're looking pretty good. And then I see picture myself. I was like, who's that old asshole? with a head shaped like an eggplant. That's me. Oh, God, that's me. You do not look like an eggplant.

Yeah, I do. All right. Should we answer a question? Yeah, you want to? Yeah. Okay. All right, you got any from the waiting room, Dr. Scott? Get some ready.

If you all have any questions, throw them to Dr. Scott. Number one thing. Don't take advice from some asshole on the radio. So this is a good one for all of us. I think you'll find this quite fascinating. And this is, you know. Hey, Dr. Steve. I'm sitting here with my son as he's telling me about some liver king dude

and some bone marrow capsules he wants to take because he read some damn article about these bone marrow capsules helping with some recent shoulder surgery he had and some healing in the joint there. And I'm calling absolute bullshit on it. Just another, like, internet thing. And he, he, uh, he, uh, he, uh, He claims he's verified this stuff.

Please. It's documented. Settle the argument for us, please. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. All of he had his kid in the background.

They were both laughing. So bone marrow supplementation. At first, I just texted him back, because if you email me, most of, or leave a voicemail, I'll try to have the courtesy to at least respond. I responded with all caps, T-he. But then I said, okay, I better go look it up. Because any time that I just call bullshit on something, I always want to make sure I can bring my receipts. Now, there are some health benefits to bone marrow, at least that are purported.

I couldn't find a damn thing in the medical literature. But what I could find were data that showed some beneficial effects for some components that are in bone marrow. But a lot of the things I saw were talking about bone broth, where you take bones and you boil them and then use them as a base for something else. And in that case, there are things like gelatin, which, you know, it's got some benefits, but you know where else you can get gelatin other than bone broth? Gelotone, you know, jello. So you don't have to eat bone marrow to get gelatin.

Now, one study showed that there's fat tissue in bone marrow that contains a hormone called adenopectin and that helps to break down fats and it can maintain insulin sensitivity and it's been linked to lower risk of diabetes cardiovascular heart disease and other stuff like that whether it's in the doses

that are in these bone marrow capsules and if you go to look at these I'm not going to say any of the oh shoot I just closed that one that was a good one it was like I went to Amazon and Google bone marrow you do that it was like ancestral bone marrow capsules and don't know what that I guess that means that's paleo stuff and that's how they're selling it but when you take bone marrow for example and then run it through

that process we talked about with those other people that do this with fruits and vegetables and freeze dry it and lie a process called lyophilization where you put it in a really cold environment and then you hook it up to a vacuum and all the water will come off and you're just left with this powder. I don't know how much adenapectin you need to get to have this effect and how much is in this stuff. Just because it's derived from bone marrow doesn't mean it's good for you, you know? So bone marrow is full of collagen.

Is it still, when it's rendered down to capsules? By the way, you have to take six of these capsules a day. And it's like 60 bucks for a bottle of it. That was the cheapest one that I could find. Bone marrow has glucosamine in it, but we have discussed glucosamine on the show before, that it has some data that shows that for arthritis it's at least as effective as 400 milligrams of ibuprofen without the risk of GI bleeding. That's great. Just go buy glucosamine then.

I'm never a fan, except with maybe marijuana is the example that would be counter to this, of taking just 10,000 molecules to do one effect, and maybe 9,090 of them don't have anything to do with what you're trying to fix. It's why I really don't like things like NyQuil, because what if you don't need the antihistamine in there? You just need the decongestin and the cough stuff. Well, just take that separately. Treat your symptoms, you know, break your symptoms down, treat those.

So that's the issues I have with this. It's got glucosamine. How much does it have in it? You need 1,500 milligrams of glucosamine, really, to start to have any decent effect with this stuff. So it does reduce inflammation and, et cetera, et cetera. There's glycine in it. You can just take glycine.

You know what I'm saying? I couldn't find a single thing in bone marrow that you hadn't already been studied somewhere else and maybe have some data in it, but you could buy somewhere else. without eating some poor animals, you know, insides of their bones. Well, it's a delicacy, right? Sure, sure. But then at what temperature do those proteins de nature? I don't know.

Right. And then how much of it do you even absorb and where do you even absorb these things? Right. They're saying, oh, here, 1% of the RDI of phosphorus. Why even report that? That's like you might as well just say there isn't any in there. You know. There's been a trend with collagen.

Yes. big trend huge trend I can't wrap my brain around how you absorb you have to break it down into its constituent amino acids and then you

incorporate it into your into your collagen so that the building blocks are there that's the only benefit I can see I can't imagine another mechanism what do you guys say in traditional Chinese medicine Dr. Scott well you know the old

the old theory was that I mean it goes Back to the Chinese and Native American Indians as well, that eating organ meat for certain organ deficiencies is helpful. And certainly bone marrow, bovine extracts, things like that. I mean, some of those are even used in certain prescriptions for herbal bowel. Like the, what's the, what says here, bone marrow can be enjoyed just like butter, spread some on a cracker or a piece of toast. So why not enjoy it? Why put it in capsules?

Just like butter. Well, that's the American way as we render everything down, make it into pills, and then take it, and then figure we can do whatever the hell we want. Well, I mean, hell, we even take horse urine and make medicine out of it. That is true. We can, I mean, you know. Lest anyone think that Dr. Scott's crazy. He's not talking about traditional Chinese medicine. He is talking about Western medicine.

Pregnant mare's urine is where the estrogen supplement paramarin gets. gets its name from. So he's absolutely right. I'll give you one of the... Give yourself a bill! It's a pretty terrible thing they do to those horses, too. Is it?

Yeah, from what I've read. I mean... Well, they give them, they put them in a... They give them a catheter and they collect their urine. It's a little less horrible than chopping their hooves off to make jello for some kids. That's true. They should get a wick. And render them down to make glue.

But I know what you make. So I'm voting a possible. We don't need to do it anymore. For the kid's supplement for the shoulder. I'm only possible. Yeah, I'm not saying that there's no benefit to it. Again, how do we know something has a benefit? You've got to identify your endpoint.

I know people are getting sick of this, but people can recite this now. People recite it back to me now. We've got to define our endpoint. What are we trying to study? What benefit do we want? You can't just say, is it good for you? Well, for what? For curing cancer?

No, it sucks. for your, you know, increasing or decreasing the interval from your shoulder surgery to when you can use it again? Maybe. I don't know. So, okay, maybe that's our end point. We take 1,000 people who had shoulder surgery. We give them all, we match them to make sure the complication rate is the same and all that stuff. We give them all physical therapy, all the normal things that you would do, and half of them we give, you know, bone marrow to.

And the other half, we don't. And the other half gets a placebo, and nobody knows what's what. And then at the end, you decode it, see who got the placebo, who got the bone marrow. And is there a statistically significant difference in the end point you were studying for, which is decrease interval from surgery till back to normal? And then you've got to define what back to normal means. Okay, so does it mean that they can lift a certain weight or what a certain percentage of their body? And you can argue with these things when you start trying to...

to make one of these studies it's like how can we make this concrete and it's really hard to do but if you did that and you could show that i'm all in that's all i need is give me data is don't make up stuff all i can do is think about when my mother-in-law broke her tib fib in my stairwell in my stairwell yeah normally lives in new york city but uh was down visiting so her tib fib is the tibian fib which is the lower bones and the lower leg so go ahead so she fractured those whilst on vacation at my house ended up staying for about 12 weeks because it required a surgery, but she was convinced that eating chicken feet would help reduce the interval between time of surgery. I've heard that because they've got collagen.

So she'd sit and eat chicken feet. Oh, goodness. Fried chicken feet? No, boiled chicken feet. That's good eating, I'll tell you that, you know. You sit and five folks, don't we talk about chicken feet like that. plate of chicken carpal parcels you ain't know what you're talking about till you're trying it they do sell them locally have good battles we make chicken foot stew

and chicken foot um jubilee chicken foot jubilee that's where I stop it's ridiculous chicken foot jubilee that is awful sounds catholic chicken foot fandango we make all kinds they win you all don't know all right i don't know where that came from sorry i don't either especially since she was from new york but i guess her um delmer was agreeing with her but it did it did you think it helped it helped she thought it helps so that's all that matters perhaps didn't hurt anything except

except me but and the chickens the chickens who were running around on stumps it didn't help that many definitely did you throw the pot away when she left yeah and the bowl that would just be full of chicken tarsals and metatarsals phalanges and toenails love it hey we do have one from Ryan Kurtz

we got a follow up on completing the transaction to go oh yeah Ryan Kurtz 7 year old daughter has a Montaguire fracture dislocated radial head the orthopedist yeah it's a it's a pretty

not a super common fraction fracture of the ulna and they did a closed reduction which is more common for kids if they can do it and get it back in place and not have to do a surgical but his question was you mean a Montegia fracture?

Montegia. Okay. Montegyre. Go ahead. It's how they say in Chinese. Okay. I think maybe my son. So what about it?

What was the question? Yeah, he was asking, he knows it's misdiagnosed quite often. He was asking about recovery time. for her and of course a lot of that's going to be based on how okay so healthy she is so she had to have the open reduction internal fixation is that what he's saying it was they had to go in no they did a closed reduction last week okay so it was close thankfully it wasn't an open okay so in children you know the results of early treatment which I'm sure that they did is usually good typically they come totally back to normal if they diagnosed

it late and then they have to have reconstructive surgery, then there's a lot more complications with that. So it sounds like they're, you know, that they caught it early and they're going to take care of it. So yeah, maybe four times, maybe I'm four times, maybe four weeks or so. I would have said 12, but that's just because I always say 12 for healing anything. For heat, yeah, for full healing. But I would say she should be able to start moving it pretty quickly if they got it backwards to be after about a couple weeks now if they have to do uh if they have to open it up and then align the bones and then put plates and stuff like that and there's a lot more complications with that so if they can do it uh with the closed reduction it's always better

good good okay well give her our best and i she cannot listen to this show but just tell her that the mean and weird people on the radio said they hope that she get better quicker quickly. All right. What was the other thing? Colin Carnes asking about significant Riggins. Did you see that? No, I did not see that.

Let me do this one about completing the transaction. Maybe we'll do that one after. That's cool. Hold on. Good and Todd V. Geetz. Doc. This is Dee from Texas. Hey.

I was calling you back about the not completing the transaction type deal. Yeah. Yeah, I completed every time. If you didn't listen last time, he called about completing the transaction. So we had to go over a lot of things because we didn't know what he was talking about. We didn't know if he was getting an erection and then starting to have intercourse and then losing his erection.

Or if he was having an orgasm, but nothing was coming out the end of his urethral meatis, which would suggest retrograde ejaculation. Or if he had delayed ejaculation, meaning that he could just go and never have an orgasm. I'm when I'm jacking it every time. Yeah, I complete it every time when I'm jacking it, every time. Okay. And I think a lot of it is mental. Yeah. And we predicted that as well, if you recall.

We said if the test that we gave him was, can you complete to transaction while you're masturbating? And if you can there, but you can't while you're having intercourse, that usually indicates a psychosocial or psychological overlay. and it could be a lot of different things. It could be that you're distracted or you have performance anxiety or you're having issues with being attracted to your partner or whatever. Or maybe they're not attracted to you and they're not into it or whatever. I think a lot of it because I think I told you not too long ago, my dad passed away. So I think there's a lot of grief still in there.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that, dude. I didn't remember that. And there's just been a lot of things going on in my life. I think a lot of it's like psychological, so anyway, I'm just going to follow up. Okay, man. Yeah, so if this persists, I would talk to your primary care. There are sex therapists out there that can help you with this, and if you email me, I'll send you some resources to, and I'm still not clear if he's just having trouble not ejaculating and having an orgasm when he's having, you know, peanut, penis vagina or if he is losing his erection. But either way, he doesn't have a problem when he's

by himself. So it's the addition of the other person. And you do have to actually pay attention to the other person. And if you're wrapped up in grief, that's hard to do. And that may take you away from the ability to just lose yourself in the moment. So all right. But yeah, send me an email and I will send you some stuff on that. So Scott, you had a question from the waiting room, I understand. Yes, Colin was asking, what are some other causes of significant shrinkage other than a cold swimming pool like George Costanzo? Oh, that's a good one. So, and Tacey, you want to take this one? That makes me smile, just remembering that Seinfeld episode.

Shrinkage. The shrinkage! She's got it on a shrinkage. That's why I'm smiling because that. Oh, yeah, it wasn't, you were looking right in my eyes and she's smiling when they're talking about the shrinkage. But it was George Costanza. That's fine. Totally fine. So, no, I have no comments other than great episode. Have you heard of COVID Dick?

No. Well, COVID Dick is an issue that has not been confirmed as a syndrome, but has been discussed online by medical professionals. And here's an article from McGill. university which is in Canada it says the penis and testicles are not always spared from COVID but a pro vaccine public service announcement put too much stock in a limp study okay so anyway there are some issues with male Eurogenital health and COVID-19 and there are a lot of guys that swear that their penis is more retractile

now than it was before they had COVID-19 and I'm here to tell you I'm one of them so I have noticed that my cremaster reflex okay so let's talk about this little bit so there's some muscles in the in the lower pelvic realm particularly of the male that do a couple of things one of them is to pull the scrotum up closer to the body, particularly if the testicles are getting too cold, it will do that to try to maintain a constant three degrees of temperature lower than body temperature. And there are also muscles that can relax or contract that will retract the penis into the body. And I'm telling you, I noticed since I had COVID-19, that although when aroused, the length and the girth is exactly the same

as it was before, but when I'm walking around, it's less dangley than it was before. And I think significantly, sort of the point where I noticed it, it's like, what the hell is wrong with me? Is that a good thing? No, it's not a good thing. No, it's weird. I don't know how they walk around with those things. I know.

It seems complicated. At least they can pay with it. Tacey's never seen one, so it's fine. I don't see it. But, yeah, I swear that I've noticed that. I'd be interested if anyone else has noticed it. Please have noticed it, so it's not just me. But I've read multiple people on the Internet have discussed this,

including some decent place. I haven't seen a study done on it yet, but it's been complained about enough that places like McGill and other well-established medical websites are starting to comment on it. Well, it makes sense, right? Because of the vascular complications that we see with COVID. And then other diseases that cause vascular compromise, like diabetes, arthroscoposis, cigarette smoking, they all are associated with increased shrinkage.

Well, yeah, fear, you know, seeing something that frightens you will cause Oh, really? So it's an adrenaline? Because it draws everything up back in. Raynauld's syndrome? Rinald's, yeah. There were quite a few men. There was an online survey of just 100 Italian men

conducted in April 2020, which is pretty early on. 25 of them said they had COVID. The remaining 75 said they had not when asked about erectile dysfunction. Under a third of the COVID-positive men said they were experiencing it, but only a 10th of the COVID-negative. men. Now, this is not a scientific study by any means, and it could have been self-selection

biased because people who had erectile dysfunction might be going to a website looking for information and taking a survey, but it is kind of interesting. So we will see, here you go, while the penile impact of the coronavirus remains worthy of investigations, including a story of a man who claims to have lost an inch and a half of, uh, penile length, possibly because of damage to blood vessels, it seems like premature extrapolation to scare men into getting vaccinated because of erections are at high risk is unwarranted. So I agree with that. They shouldn't use this as a tool to get men to go get vaccinated because we don't have rigorous

data on this. But those are the main things. It's usually environmental, trauma. bike riding can cause issues with the pedendal nerve which is a nerve that's a sensory nerve that goes to the penis and scrotum but that causes neuropathy if you're a bike rider and you ride on a bicycle one of those banana seats and put a lot of pressure on your taint

but I've not seen anything that had anything to do with shrinkage there but anyway I think I'll have to call this podcast Whiskey Deck just to get some people's comments on that but anyway so yeah there should not be used as a public service thing

to try to get people to get vaccinated but I think there may be something there I have been interested in trying that extra corporeal or I'm sorry this in this case wouldn't be extra corporeal would it be external

shockwave therapy for erectile function because look at 66 it's still working a cat could scratch it now whereas when I was 18 a cat couldn't scratch my you know giant meaty erection but it certainly could scratch it now even though it's still a decent I just would think it would be interesting for the purposes of this show to try it and do a before and after have a two messence test would you be willing to do that yeah what exactly yeah well I have a two messence meter

here I had it I got it for appearance on opium Anthony that ended up not happening because Opie got, you know, left the show. And we have a cat. And we do, yeah, we have a cat. We're good. Yeah, yeah, we're good. You got a guy that can do the therapy for you? Yes, exactly.

But what we would do is Tacey would, she would have to grasp and then compare to the tumessence meter. And we would do like 10 trials before it. It would be 10 different times. We'd take the average. And then we'll do it after and see if we can tell a difference. That sounds fun, guys. It would be fun.

I think I'd have a good time doing that. Yeah, you grip. So what you do taste is you grip it, and then you kind of, you know, go up, you know, grip it a little higher and then a little lower and then a little higher and then a little higher and then a lower and then. Do that 10 times. In a rhythmic fashion until I tell you to stop, which I will do through sign language and moaning. But anyway, all right. So maybe we'll try that. I've got to get Chanda to buy one of those machines first.

Okay, well, you guys are just all just staring at me. Would you, like, market that? Would Chanda, would Chanda be willing to take that on and you market that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I would not let her do it. I would have Tacey do it because Tacey would find that odd. But I would absolutely, absolutely be a guinea pig for that, you know. I think it'd be fun.

I think a lot of people would be interested. I'm going to edit out all. the pregnant pauses in this segment of the show but thanks everybody thank uh thanks go to just a lot to consider i know i know you guys started going visual with it and then just there were no words well you were doing sign language true uh thanks always go to dr scott tacy p a lydia always a delight don't forget to check out p a lydia's uh newest endeavor at allied extract dot org i used to be the secretary I'm the executive director.
